Why was Steinbeck Controversial
John Steinbeck was a very controversial writer during his lifetime. Why would his writing be upsetting to some people
Expert Answers
Jamie Wheeler, Certified Educator
Steinbeck wrote about what he saw honestly. During the Great Depression, he wrote about poverty and displacement(人们的离家）.During World War II，he wrote about the war ( The Moon is Down). That honesty was upsetting to many people who preferred to think of America uniformly as “the land of the free and the home of the brave”.
The socio economic status of those displaced by society, either by our government or by others, was something Steinbeck would repeatedly address in In Dubious Battle，Tortilla Flat，The Grapes of Wrath，Of Mice and Men and so on. Although he was repeatedly accused of being a communist, nothing could be further from the truth. Furthermore, Steinbeck worked tirelessly as a war journalist during the Vietnam War and was a speech writer for presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson. His love for our country is more than evident in one of his last published works，a non-fictional account of his cross-country travels, Travels with Charley. Despite all of evidence to the contrary, however, Steinbeck continues to be branded as anti-American for his criticism of the treatment of our citizens，especially in The Grapes of Wrath.
Steinbeck is also controversial because of his determined refusal to keep writing novels like The Grapes of Wrath. Despite its being arousing the rebellion, booksellers didn’t mind cashing in on its popularity in the least. They were less than thrilled when Steinbeck refused to produce any more novels like The Grapes of Wrath. Instead, Steinbeck insisted on taking on new forms and themes.
Katem Schults, Certified Educator John Steinbeck wrote about underprivileged populations—groups of people who had tough times surviving and would sometimes turn to any means necessary. Literature is a reflection of ourselves and our society. Many people don’t like to be reminded of the unpleasant sides of our society, especially when there’s no easy solution for these people.
Another consideration is Steinbeck’s motive. Many people don’t appreciate it when artists use underprivileged groups for their artistic value.
4.In Jamie Wheeler’s opinion, why was Steinbeck controversial
A. Steinbeck was too honest in life.
B. Steinbeck didn’t love his country
C. Steinbeck was a communist and was anti-American.
D. Steinbeck described the unpleasant sides of America.
5.Which of Steinbeck’s works is about his own experiences
A. The Moon is Down.
B. In Dubious Battle.
C. Travels with Charley.
D. The Grapes of Wrath.
6.Why were booksellers less than thrilled at Steinbeck’s refusal
A. Steinbeck refused to go on writing as a writer.
B. Steinbeck’s books were not as popular as before.
C. They couldn’t make much money from his books.
D. Steinbeck’s books were arousing the rebellion.
7.According to the second expert, what do many people think of Steinbeck’s motive
A. He wanted to reflect the reality of the society well.
B. Hetook advantage of the poor for his own interest.
C. He wanted to find out solutions for the poor people.
D. He decided to remind readers of the unpleasant sides.

Artist Zsudayka Nzinga Terrell clearly remembers the day in high school when the teacher asked her to write about her family history. She saw that it was impossible to answer the questions “Who am I ” and “Where did I come from ”
Nzinga Terrell told VO A about her childhood memories. “So the white kids were able to get up and talk about hundreds of years of their background. And there was me and one other black kid in the class who could go back to a plantation in Virginia and that’s it.” She talked about her family’s history. “ My people were brought here on the bottom of a ship. And they were sold and they were re-named. My dad’s side of the family took the last name from the job that they had, which is Butler. My mom’s side of the family took the last name from the plantation that owned them .”
Today, she and her husband, artist James Terrell, explore that identity in their work. Their new exhibit of paintings is called “ Bom at the Bottom of the Ship.” The show recently opened at the Center for the Arts in Manassas, Virginia.
Over the generations, Africans became African Americans with a new culture, and Nzinga Terrell includes different parts of that story in her art. There are things that look like African cloth and design and things that make you think of American culture and clothing.
James Terrell’s style is more abstract. Mami Wata, the first painting visitors see in the new exhibit, shows a woman rising from the ocean. Terrell explains the painting, “Mami Wata is a goddess of the sea.... There’s no light going through；there’s not a lot of color being seen，as opposed to the other ones. So, it’s just showing the time of the slaves being brought to America.”
But the artist says he also likes to play with color. Growing up, Terrell attended a church with colored glass in many windows. Because of that experience, he learned how light goes through the windows. He makes lines in his painting that look like the lines between pieces of colored glass in the church windows.
Terrell’s works show how he sees himself as an African American. Visitors to the art exhibit say they see themselves and their family members in the works.
8.Young Nzinga Terrell’s memory of her family history can date back to________.
A. the time when slaves were sold and re-named
B. the time when she was bom at the bottom of a ship
C. he time when the black slaves were brought to America
D. the time when her family worked on a plantation in Virginia
9.How did Nzinga Terrell’s father get his family name
A. It was named after a plantation.
B. It was named after their owner’s name.
C. It was named after the job the family did
D. It was named long ago after a place in Africa.
10.What’s the painting “Mami Wata” like
A. It’s typical of native American style.
B. It reflects a dark time of the black slaves.
C. It’s abstract with rich and bright colors.
D. It describes a church James once attended.
11.How does the visitors probably feel seeing Terrell’s works
A. Strange.
B. Curious.
C. Depressed.
D. Moved.

If you ever have the desire to break out into song—in the shower, in the car, maybe at your neighbor’s karaoke night—you should embrace it whole-heartedly. This ancient art can not only make you feel good, it can also improve your well-beingreduce your feelings of pain, and even extend your life.
Using your voice to sing, rather than simply carry out a conversation, offers unique benefits because singing affects our bodies. Also, studies link singing with a lower heart rate，decreased blood pressure and reduced stress according to Patricia Preston Roberts，a music therapist(治疗专家. ( 1 )
Singing, particularly in a group, seems to benefit the elderly particularly well. As part of a three-year study examining how singing affects the health of those aged fifty-five and older, a Senior Singers Chorus was formed by the Levine School of Music in Washington.D.C. The seniors involved in the chorus, as well as seniors in two separate arts groups about writing and painting，showed significant health improvements compared to those in the control groups (对照组).Obviously, the arts groups reported thirty fewer doctors’ visit, fewer eyesight problems, less depression, and less need for medication. ( 2 )
Even lead researcher Dr.Gene D.Coben, director of the Center on Aging at George Washington University，was surprised at how big an effect the seniors’ arts participation had on their health. Coben said,“The average age of all the subjects was eighty. This is higher than life expectancy. So，if an effect were to be achieved，one would ordinarily expect to see less decline compared to the control group. The fact that there was so much improvement in many areas was the surprising factor. ” ( 3 )The seniors also noticed health improvements and they reported feeling better both in daily life and while singing.
The part of the brain that works with speech is different from the part that processes music.“People seem to enjoy doing something jointly with other people. There are a lot of facts that being socially involved is good for people with dementia (老年痴呆）,” Ballard said.
The arts are showing up as a treatment tool in hospitals across the country. ( 4 )If you are thinking of volunteering, singing at a hospital may be a good choice—not only for the patients，but also for yourself.
12.Why was Coben surprised at the result of the study
A. The study was not expensive as expected.
B. Arts acted as a treatment tool in hospitals.
C. People’s health in the arts group improved greatly.
D. The seniors themselves noticed health improvements.
13.What is the author’s attitude towards arts
A. Doubtful.
B. Positive.
C. Negative.
D. Worried.
14.Where should the following sentence“She uses songs to help patients who variety of problems.”
A.(l) B.(2) C.(3) D.(4)
15.What would be the best title for the passage
A. How to Avoid Getting Dementia
B. How Seniors Live a Healthy Life
C. How to Keep Our Brains Healthy
D. How Singing Improves Your Health

Eric was working in a selling business. He had been on the road visiting people for more than a month without going home. He couldn’t wait to get back to see his wife and children. It was coming up on Mother’s Day, so he usually tried to make it “back home，”but this year he was just too busy and too tired. When he was driving in a small town, he saw a flower shop. He said to himself, “I know what I will do. I’ll send my mother some roses.”
He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a boy talking to a girl in it. “ How many roses can I get for six dollars, Miss. ” the boy asked. The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive. Maybe the boy would be happy with something else.
“No, I have to have roses，”he said.“My mom was badly sick last year and I didn’t get to spend much time with her.I want to get something special. It has to be red roses, because they are her favorite.”He was stubborn.
The girl in the shop looked up at Eric and was just shaking her head. Something inside of Eric was touched by the boy’s voice. He wanted to get those roses so badly. Eric had been blessed (幸运的）in his business，so he looked at the girl and whispered to her that he would pay for the boy’s roses.
The girl looked at the boy and said，“OK，I will give you a dozen red roses for your dollars.”The boy almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran out of the store. It was worth more than thirty-five dollars just to see that kind of excitement.
Eric ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to have them delivered to his mother. After that，with a relief he drove away. Not long after his driving, he saw the boy walking to a graveyard(墓地）.

37.with考查固定搭配。句意:我写这封信是要和您分享一下我的观点。share sth. with sb.，“与某人分享某事”为搭配固定。故填with。
38.it考查代词。句意：在我看来，在上海博物馆举办艺术展比在社区图书馆（办展览）更明智。分析句子可知，本句中的真正的主语是后面的不定式短语，应用it代替动词不定式作形式主语。故填it。
39.more convenient考查形容词的比较级。句意：一方面，人们去上海博物馆更方便些……。根据句意可知是两者在进行比较，因此用more convenient。
40.which考查定语从句。分析句子可知Shanghai Museum被定语从句修饰，而设空处引导非限制性定语从句，且在从句中作主语，指物，故填which。
41.provides考查主谓一致。分析句子可知which指代前面的先行词the museum,是单数，故填provides。
42.appreciating考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知appreciate 在句子中作for的宾语，应用动名词形式,故填appreciating。
43.experienced考查形容词。句意：另一方面,作为一个出名的博物馆，上海博物馆在举办艺术展览上更具专业性和更有经验。be experienced in…在......有经验。故填experienced。
44.paintings考查名词复数。句意:它的专业的保安人员和先进的设施可以更好地保护那些名画免遭损坏或盗窃。根据句意可知，本句中是保护名画。而paint是动词，其名词形式“绘画，油画”为painting,由those可知应用其复数形式，故填 paintings。
45.or考查连词。此处表示更好地保护这些名画免遭损坏或者（or)盗窃。故填or。

Paragraph 1:
Eric stopped his car and followed the boy. The boy went up to a small gravestone, and knelt down. He carefully put the flowers before it and began to sob. “Dear Mom, I love you. But how I regret that I didn’t say it when you were with me. I knew you loved roses, but why didn’t I send the flowers to you when I could still see you and talk with you Now, you have gone to another world. How I regret that I didn’t tell you I love you so much ! ”
Paragraph 2：
Eric went into his car in tears. His mother’s home wasn’t far from here, but he hadn’t seen her for a long time. He didn’t have a talk with her for a long time and never said how much he loved her. He turned the car and drove towards the direction to the flower shop quickly. He asked the girl to give back the flowers because he wanted to send them personally to his mom.

Why was Steinbeck Controversial
John Steinbeck was a very controversial writer during his lifetime. Why would his writing be upsetting to some people
Expert Answers
Jamie Wheeler, Certified Educator
Steinbeck wrote about what he saw honestly. During the Great Depression, he wrote about poverty and displacement(人们的离家）.During World War II，he wrote about the war ( The Moon is Down). That honesty was upsetting to many people who preferred to think of America uniformly as “the land of the free and the home of the brave”.
The socio economic status of those displaced by society, either by our government or by others, was something Steinbeck would repeatedly address in In Dubious Battle，Tortilla Flat，The Grapes of Wrath，Of Mice and Men and so on. Although he was repeatedly accused of being a communist, nothing could be further from the truth. Furthermore, Steinbeck worked tirelessly as a war journalist during the Vietnam War and was a speech writer for presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson. His love for our country is more than evident in one of his last published works，a non-fictional account of his cross-country travels, Travels with Charley. Despite all of evidence to the contrary, however, Steinbeck continues to be branded as anti-American for his criticism of the treatment of our citizens，especially in The Grapes of Wrath.
Steinbeck is also controversial because of his determined refusal to keep writing novels like The Grapes of Wrath. Despite its being arousing the rebellion, booksellers didn’t mind cashing in on its popularity in the least. They were less than thrilled when Steinbeck refused to produce any more novels like The Grapes of Wrath. Instead, Steinbeck insisted on taking on new forms and themes.
Katem Schults, Certified Educator John Steinbeck wrote about underprivileged populations—groups of people who had tough times surviving and would sometimes turn to any means necessary. Literature is a reflection of ourselves and our society. Many people don’t like to be reminded of the unpleasant sides of our society, especially when there’s no easy solution for these people.
Another consideration is Steinbeck’s motive. Many people don’t appreciate it when artists use underprivileged groups for their artistic value.
4.In Jamie Wheeler’s opinion, why was Steinbeck controversial
A. Steinbeck was too honest in life.
B. Steinbeck didn’t love his country
C. Steinbeck was a communist and was anti-American.
D. Steinbeck described the unpleasant sides of America.
5.Which of Steinbeck’s works is about his own experiences
A. The Moon is Down.
B. In Dubious Battle.
C. Travels with Charley.
D. The Grapes of Wrath.
6.Why were booksellers less than thrilled at Steinbeck’s refusal
A. Steinbeck refused to go on writing as a writer.
B. Steinbeck’s books were not as popular as before.
C. They couldn’t make much money from his books.
D. Steinbeck’s books were arousing the rebellion.
7.According to the second expert, what do many people think of Steinbeck’s motive
A. He wanted to reflect the reality of the society well.
B. Hetook advantage of the poor for his own interest.
C. He wanted to find out solutions for the poor people.
D. He decided to remind readers of the unpleasant sides.

Artist Zsudayka Nzinga Terrell clearly remembers the day in high school when the teacher asked her to write about her family history. She saw that it was impossible to answer the questions “Who am I ” and “Where did I come from ”
Nzinga Terrell told VO A about her childhood memories. “So the white kids were able to get up and talk about hundreds of years of their background. And there was me and one other black kid in the class who could go back to a plantation in Virginia and that’s it.” She talked about her family’s history. “ My people were brought here on the bottom of a ship. And they were sold and they were re-named. My dad’s side of the family took the last name from the job that they had, which is Butler. My mom’s side of the family took the last name from the plantation that owned them .”
Today, she and her husband, artist James Terrell, explore that identity in their work. Their new exhibit of paintings is called “ Bom at the Bottom of the Ship.” The show recently opened at the Center for the Arts in Manassas, Virginia.
Over the generations, Africans became African Americans with a new culture, and Nzinga Terrell includes different parts of that story in her art. There are things that look like African cloth and design and things that make you think of American culture and clothing.
James Terrell’s style is more abstract. Mami Wata, the first painting visitors see in the new exhibit, shows a woman rising from the ocean. Terrell explains the painting, “Mami Wata is a goddess of the sea.... There’s no light going through；there’s not a lot of color being seen，as opposed to the other ones. So, it’s just showing the time of the slaves being brought to America.”
But the artist says he also likes to play with color. Growing up, Terrell attended a church with colored glass in many windows. Because of that experience, he learned how light goes through the windows. He makes lines in his painting that look like the lines between pieces of colored glass in the church windows.
Terrell’s works show how he sees himself as an African American. Visitors to the art exhibit say they see themselves and their family members in the works.
8.Young Nzinga Terrell’s memory of her family history can date back to________.
A. the time when slaves were sold and re-named
B. the time when she was bom at the bottom of a ship
C. he time when the black slaves were brought to America
D. the time when her family worked on a plantation in Virginia
9.How did Nzinga Terrell’s father get his family name
A. It was named after a plantation.
B. It was named after their owner’s name.
C. It was named after the job the family did
D. It was named long ago after a place in Africa.
10.What’s the painting “Mami Wata” like
A. It’s typical of native American style.
B. It reflects a dark time of the black slaves.
C. It’s abstract with rich and bright colors.
D. It describes a church James once attended.
11.How does the visitors probably feel seeing Terrell’s works
A. Strange.
B. Curious.
C. Depressed.
D. Moved.

If you ever have the desire to break out into song—in the shower, in the car, maybe at your neighbor’s karaoke night—you should embrace it whole-heartedly. This ancient art can not only make you feel good, it can also improve your well-beingreduce your feelings of pain, and even extend your life.
Using your voice to sing, rather than simply carry out a conversation, offers unique benefits because singing affects our bodies. Also, studies link singing with a lower heart rate，decreased blood pressure and reduced stress according to Patricia Preston Roberts，a music therapist(治疗专家. ( 1 )
Singing, particularly in a group, seems to benefit the elderly particularly well. As part of a three-year study examining how singing affects the health of those aged fifty-five and older, a Senior Singers Chorus was formed by the Levine School of Music in Washington.D.C. The seniors involved in the chorus, as well as seniors in two separate arts groups about writing and painting，showed significant health improvements compared to those in the control groups (对照组).Obviously, the arts groups reported thirty fewer doctors’ visit, fewer eyesight problems, less depression, and less need for medication. ( 2 )
Even lead researcher Dr.Gene D.Coben, director of the Center on Aging at George Washington University，was surprised at how big an effect the seniors’ arts participation had on their health. Coben said,“The average age of all the subjects was eighty. This is higher than life expectancy. So，if an effect were to be achieved，one would ordinarily expect to see less decline compared to the control group. The fact that there was so much improvement in many areas was the surprising factor. ” ( 3 )The seniors also noticed health improvements and they reported feeling better both in daily life and while singing.
The part of the brain that works with speech is different from the part that processes music.“People seem to enjoy doing something jointly with other people. There are a lot of facts that being socially involved is good for people with dementia (老年痴呆）,” Ballard said.
The arts are showing up as a treatment tool in hospitals across the country. ( 4 )If you are thinking of volunteering, singing at a hospital may be a good choice—not only for the patients，but also for yourself.
12.Why was Coben surprised at the result of the study
A. The study was not expensive as expected.
B. Arts acted as a treatment tool in hospitals.
C. People’s health in the arts group improved greatly.
D. The seniors themselves noticed health improvements.
13.What is the author’s attitude towards arts
A. Doubtful.
B. Positive.
C. Negative.
D. Worried.
14.Where should the following sentence“She uses songs to help patients who variety of problems.”
A.(l) B.(2) C.(3) D.(4)
15.What would be the best title for the passage
A. How to Avoid Getting Dementia
B. How Seniors Live a Healthy Life
C. How to Keep Our Brains Healthy
D. How Singing Improves Your Health

Eric was working in a selling business. He had been on the road visiting people for more than a month without going home. He couldn’t wait to get back to see his wife and children. It was coming up on Mother’s Day, so he usually tried to make it “back home，”but this year he was just too busy and too tired. When he was driving in a small town, he saw a flower shop. He said to himself, “I know what I will do. I’ll send my mother some roses.”
He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a boy talking to a girl in it. “ How many roses can I get for six dollars, Miss. ” the boy asked. The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive. Maybe the boy would be happy with something else.
“No, I have to have roses，”he said.“My mom was badly sick last year and I didn’t get to spend much time with her.I want to get something special. It has to be red roses, because they are her favorite.”He was stubborn.
The girl in the shop looked up at Eric and was just shaking her head. Something inside of Eric was touched by the boy’s voice. He wanted to get those roses so badly. Eric had been blessed (幸运的）in his business，so he looked at the girl and whispered to her that he would pay for the boy’s roses.
The girl looked at the boy and said，“OK，I will give you a dozen red roses for your dollars.”The boy almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran out of the store. It was worth more than thirty-five dollars just to see that kind of excitement.
Eric ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to have them delivered to his mother. After that，with a relief he drove away. Not long after his driving, he saw the boy walking to a graveyard(墓地）.

第一节
语篇解读：本文是就艺术展览应在上海博物馆还是在社区图书馆举办写的一封建议信。作者认为在上海博物馆举办艺术展比在社区图书馆办展览更明智，并给予了充分的理由。
36.to be held考查动词不定式表将来。句意:我听说将要举行一个艺术展……。分析句子可知艺术展将要举行，因此要用动词不定式，而艺术展与举行（hold)是被动关系，故填to be hold。
37.with考查固定搭配。句意:我写这封信是要和您分享一下我的观点。share sth. with sb.，“与某人分享某事”为搭配固定。故填with。
38.it考查代词。句意：在我看来，在上海博物馆举办艺术展比在社区图书馆（办展览）更明智。分析句子可知，本句中的真正的主语是后面的不定式短语，应用it代替动词不定式作形式主语。故填it。
39.more convenient考查形容词的比较级。句意：一方面，人们去上海博物馆更方便些……。根据句意可知是两者在进行比较，因此用more convenient。
40.which考查定语从句。分析句子可知Shanghai Museum被定语从句修饰，而设空处引导非限制性定语从句，且在从句中作主语，指物，故填which。
41.provides考查主谓一致。分析句子可知which指代前面的先行词the museum,是单数，故填provides。
42.appreciating考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知appreciate 在句子中作for的宾语，应用动名词形式,故填appreciating。
43.experienced考查形容词。句意：另一方面,作为一个出名的博物馆，上海博物馆在举办艺术展览上更具专业性和更有经验。be experienced in…在......有经验。故填experienced。
44.paintings考查名词复数。句意:它的专业的保安人员和先进的设施可以更好地保护那些名画免遭损坏或盗窃。根据句意可知，本句中是保护名画。而paint是动词，其名词形式“绘画，油画”为painting,由those可知应用其复数形式，故填 paintings。
45.or考查连词。此处表示更好地保护这些名画免遭损坏或者（or)盗窃。故填or。

第二节
One possible version：
Paragraph 1:
Eric stopped his car and followed the boy. The boy went up to a small gravestone, and knelt down. He carefully put the flowers before it and began to sob. “Dear Mom, I love you. But how I regret that I didn’t say it when you were with me. I knew you loved roses, but why didn’t I send the flowers to you when I could still see you and talk with you Now, you have gone to another world. How I regret that I didn’t tell you I love you so much ! ”
Paragraph 2：
Eric went into his car in tears. His mother’s home wasn’t far from here, but he hadn’t seen her for a long time. He didn’t have a talk with her for a long time and never said how much he loved her. He turned the car and drove towards the direction to the flower shop quickly. He asked the girl to give back the flowers because he wanted to send them personally to his mom.
