单元加餐练.阅读理解When The New Republic magazine predicted who would win the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature on Oct. 6th, it said, “Not Bob Dylan. Thats for sure.” However, the award came as a surprise to many. On Oct. 13th, the famous US musician was named the Nobel laureate (获奖者) by the Swedish Academy. He has created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition, according to the organization.Although Dylan, 75, is not really thought to be a literary writer, he has given the world a lot of creative works over 50 years, especially when it comes to his folk songs.In his 1985 album Biograph, Dylan wrote about the appeal of folk music to him. Rock songs werent serious enough or didnt reflect life in a realistic way, according to Dylan. But folk was a more serious type of thing. The songs are filled with more sadness, more joy and much deeper feelings.Dylans music and lyrics spoke to many people during the 1960s. His lyrics were often about great political issues, such as the Civil Rights Movement. The 1960s was a time of change when the young were making sure that their voices were heard. The idea is most famously expressed in Dylans The Times They Are aChangin (1964), which warns the world, “Youd better start swimming or youll sink like a stone, for the times they are achangin！”There were complaints that a literary prize had been given to a singer, but ancient Greek poets Homer and Sappho wrote poetic works that were meant to be listened to, that were meant to be performed, often with instruments, and its the same way with Dylan, the Swedish Academys permanent secretary Sara Danius told CNN.It could even be said that giving the important prize to Dylan has brought back an old literary tradition. The millions whose lives Dylans words and music have changed will surely welcome the award.语篇解读：本文主要介绍了2016年诺贝尔文学奖获得者Bob Dylan的相关故事。1Why did people feel surprised when Dylan got the Nobel Prize?ABecause he was not excellent.BBecause people didnt think he was a literary writer.CBecause he was only interested in singing folk songs.DBecause people didnt believe in him.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第二段可知，人们认为Dylan不是文学作家，因此认为他不大可能得奖。2What can we learn from the text?AFolk music reflects a real life.BSongwriters shouldnt get the prize.CPeople like rock music more.DDylan is a very serious person.解析：选A推理判断题。根据第三段和第四段的内容可推知，仿民歌歌曲与摇滚乐形成对比，反映了真实的生活。3From Dylans writing, we know he cares more about _.Amusic Bhis voiceCpolitics Dchange解析：选C细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“His lyrics were often about great political issues, such as the Civil Rights Movement”可知，Dylan的作品大多关乎政治事件，因此，Dylan很关心政治。4According to Sara Danius, _.ADylan is worth the prizeBSappho should get the prizeCthe Academy is worth the prizeDHomer should win the prize解析：选A推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段的整体内容可推知，Sara Danius认为Dylan获得诺贝尔奖是实至名归。.阅读七选五Questions to ask yourselfbefore making a big decisionLife is packed with decisions, big and small.
