Model Test 4

　　Literature is one of the great creative and universal means of communicating the emotional, spiritual, or intellectual  1  of mankind. Like fine music and art, fine literature is  2  by imagination, meaningfulness of expression, and good form and technique. The  3  literary forms are prose and verse, and within these basic classifications there  4  innumerable varieties in  5  to style and form as well as purposes: novels, plays, short stories, essay s, biographies, lyric poetry, narrative poetry, and epics. Literature may  6  and inform, entertain, express personal joy or  7  , reflect religious devotion, glorify a nation or hero, or  8  a particular point of view - whether it  9  political, social, or aesthetic.

　　Most literature in modern times is written and printed,  10  there is also a long history of oral literature. Oral literature may be  11  back to earliest times - to ancient Greece and to medieval Europe,  12  traveling poets entertained audiences by reciting their works.  13  , some of the great literary masterpieces, such as Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, probably were  14  orally. The oral tradition is still alive today in folk literature,  15  stories and poems are  16  by word of mouth from generation to generation.

　　Some literature such as lyric poetry, is almost a private experience -  17  to be read and savored by an individual.  18  forms of literature, such as the drama, are designed to be seen and heard in a  19  setting. However, all great literature, whether a private or a shared experience, by expressing basic truths that are  20  to all of mankind, evokes a deeply responsive chord.
