New themes, new forms, new subjects, new regions, new authors, new audiences all emerged inthe literature of this half century. As result, at the onset of World War I, the spirit and substance ofAmerican literature had evolved remarkably, just as its center of production had shifted from Boston toNew York in the late 1880s and the sources of its energy to Chicago and the Midwest. No longer 10 wasit produced, at least in its popular forms, in the main by solemn, typically moralistic men from NewEngland and the Old South; no longer were polite, well-dressed, grammatically correct, middle-classyoung people the only central characters in its narratives; no longer were these narratives to be set inexotic places and remote times; no 15 longer, indeed were fiction, poetry, drama, and formal history thechief acceptable forms of literary expression; no longer, finally, was literature read primarily by young,middle class women. In sum, American literature in these years fulfilled in considerable measure thecondition Walt Whitman called for in1867 in describing Leaves 20 of Grass: it treats, he said of his ownmajor work, each state and region as peers "and expands from them, and includes the world ... connectingan American citizen with the citizens of all nations."

The word " evolved " in line is closest in meaning to _______.A. became famous B. turned back C. diminished D. changed4. The word " it " in line refers to _______.A. the population B. the energy C. American literature D. the manufacturing5. The word " exotic " in line 10 is closest in meaning to _______.A. urban B. unusual C. well-known D. old-fashioned6.
