11.Why istheresearchground-breaking accordingto BerenstainA.It usesnew biologicalmaterials inlab experiments.B.It has a significantimpact onworldwide plantgrowth.C.It challengestraditional scientifictheories inforestry.D.It revolutionizesthe wayto makewooden products.Mark Twainhas beencalled theinventor of the Americannovel.And hesurely deservesadditionalpraise:the manwho popularizedthe cleverliterary attackon racism.I sayclever because anti-slavery fictionhad beenthe importantpartof the literaturein theyearsbefore theCivil War.H.B.Stowes UncleTom sCabin isonly themost famousexample.These earlystoriesdealt directlywith slavery.With minorexceptions,Twain plantedhis attacks on slavery andprejudice intotales thatwere onthe surfaceabout somethingelse entirely.He drewhis readersinto theargumentby drawingthem intothe story.Again andagain,inthepostwar years,Twain seemedforced todeal with the challengeof race.Consider themost controversial,at leasttoday,of Twains novels,Adventures ofHuckleberry Finn.Onlya fewbooks havebeen kickedoff theshelves asoften asHuckleberry Finn,Twains mostwidely readtale.Once upona time,people hatedthe bookbecause itstruck themas rude.Twain himselfwrote that（贫民窟）those whobanned the book consideredthe noveltrash andsuitable onlyfortheslums Morerecentlythebookhas beenattacked becauseof the character Jim,the escapedslave,and many（occurrences ofthe wordnigger.The termNigger Jim,for whichthe novelis oftenseverely criticized,）never appearsin it.But theattacks wereand aresilly-and missthe point.The novelis stronglyanti-slavery.Jimssearch throughthe slavestates forthe family from whomhe hasbeen forciblyparted isheroic.As J.一Chadwick haspointed out,thecharacterof Jimwasafirst in American fictiona recognitionthat theslavehad twopersonalities,the voiceof survivalwithin awhite slaveculture and the voiceof theindividual:Jim,the fatherand theman.”There ismuch more.Twains mysterynovel PuddnheadWilson stoodasachallenge tothe racialbeliefsof evenmany ofthe liberalsof hisday.Written ata timewhen theaccepted wisdomheld Negroes（低等的）tobeinferior towhites,especially inintelligence,Twains talecentered inpart aroundtwobabies switchedat birth.A slavegave birthto hermasters babyand,for fearthat thechild should be soldSouth,switched himforthemasters babyby hiswife.The slaveslight-skinned childwas takento bewhiteand grew up withboth theattitudes andthe educationofthe slave-holding class.The masterswifesbaby wastaken forblack andgrewupwiththeattitudes andintonations oftheslave.（养育），The pointwas difficult to miss:nurture notnature,was thekey tosocial status.The一features ofthe blackman thatprovided thestuff of prejudice-manner ofspeech,for examplewere,to Twain,indicative ofnothing otherthan theconditioning thatslavery forcedon itsvictims.Twains racialtone wasnot perfect.One isleft uneasy,fbr example,by thelengthy passagein his一autobiography abouthow muchhe lovedwhat werecalled“nigger shows“inhisyouth mostlywithwhite menperforming inblack-face—and hisdelight ingetting hismother tolaugh atthem.Yet thereisno reasonto thinkTwain sawthe showsas representingreality.His frequentattackson slaveryandprejudicesuggest hiskeen awarenessthat theydid not.Was Twaina racistAsking thequestion inthe21st centuryis aswise asasking thesame ofLincoln.If weread thewords andattitudes ofthe pastthroughthe“wisdom“oftheconsidered moraljudgmentsofthepresent,we willfind nothingbut error.Lincoln,who believedthe blackman theinferiorof the white,fought andwon awar tofree him.And Twain,raised ina slavestate,briefly asoldier,andinventor ofJim,may havedone moreto angerthe nationover racialinjustice andawaken itscollectiveconscience thanany othernovelist inthe past century.
