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 addresses which of the following issues related to Hemingway’s depiction of the Lost Generation?
选项 A、Contemporary Parisians were frequently at odds with expatriate Americans because their wartime experiences were radically different.
B、Organized religion was ill-equipped to address the needs of post-war America.
C、Post-war Americans sometimes lived abroad as a response to their feelings of alienation in their home country.
D、Members of the Lost Generation frequently felt lost because they were unable to afford passage home.
E、Literary tropes such as nature and eternity are more compelling than the stories of individual characters.
答案C
解析 The best answer is C. According to the passage, the Lost Generation specifically referred to Americans living abroad who felt spiritually alienated from their home country.
