问题 Ernest Hemingway’s novel, The Sun Also Rises, has frequently been treated as a novel of the Lost Generation—a group of young American expatriate writers living in Paris who came of age during World War I and established their reputations in the 1920’s. They considered themselves "lost" because their inherited values could not operate in the postwar world and they felt spiritually alienated from a country that they considered hopelessly provincial and emotionally barren. More broadly, the Lost Generation represented the World War I American generation. This approach to The Sun Also Rises has become something of a critical cliche. Hemingway described the novel as less about the life of postwar expatriates than about the rhythms of nature as an expression of eternity.
The passage suggests that Hemingway’s novel is thought to display which of the following qualities?

选项 A、An attempt to reconcile nature with the philosophical concept of eternity.
B、A description of the post-World War I expatriate experience.
C、A diatribe against the organized religion of Hemingway’s day.

答案A, B

解析 The best answer is A and B. According to the passage, literary critics believe The Sun Also Rises is a description of American expatriate experiences, while Hemingway described the book as being about nature and eternity. Therefore, choices A and B are best.
