from the opposite direction at about the same speed. as we passed each other, i caught the other drivers eye for only a second. i wondered whether he might be thinking as i was. how dependent we were on each other at that moment. i was relying on him not to fall asleep, not to be put off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end. though we had never spoken a word to each other, he relied on me in just the same way.multiplied a million times over, i believe that is the way the world works. at some level, we all depend upon one another. sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. and sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively, with friends or even with strangers.as technology shrinks our world, the need increases for cooperative action among nations. in 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the sars virus, which saved thousands of lives. the threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring team action by police and intelligence forces across the world. we must recognize that our fates are not ours alone to control. in my own life, ive put great stock in personal responsibility. but, as time has passed, ive also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others. so, while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road, what we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat, but a shared moment of trust.41. the author considers it very important _.a. to drive with a company b. to have personal independence c. to gain certain responsibility d. to share trust and cooperation 42. the author said that they depended on each other in the same way because _.a. the approaching car was very dangerous b. they both drove their car at a terrific speed c. he might be killed out of the others careless driving d. it was dark and the road was not wide enough 43. from the second paragraph, we know the author drew the important lesson from _.a. only one experience b. many similar experiencesc. a driver on a dark road d. many friends and strangers 44. the need for cooperation increases because _.a. peoples fates cant be controlled by themselves b. certain viruses can spread in a quick way c. terrorism can happen everywhere and every dayd. the world has become much more dangerous 45.we can infer from the last paragraph that the author has _.a. believed in ones own personal responsibility b. counted upon himself alone in everything c. had no trust in others good faith and judgmentd. had accomplished a change on his viewpoint of lifebbeijing - hailing mo yan as the first chinese citizen that won the nobel prize in literature, the public has started to consider the way to enhance chinese literatures global presence.the prize indicates that chinese contemporary authors and their works are getting the worlds attention, which prompts writers and amateurs to continue their work, according to wang meng, a renowned chinese writer. but the prize came a little late, said xue yongwu, dean of the college of liberal arts, journalism and communication with ocean university of china (ouc). there have been many accomplished writers of modern and contemporary literature in china, including lu xun, ba jin and mao dun, who should have won the prize earlier, he noted. chinas splendid ancient literature, which extends thousands of years, has been widely acknowledged across the world. however, the contemporary literature failed to get enough recognition from outside the country due to its short history and complex political influences, he explained. language has also been a barrier. only a small proportion of chinese literature has been translated into foreign languages, mainly english. the quality of some translated editions needs improvement, said xue. in addition to language skills, translation requires high-level comprehension and explanation of culture and art. its hard for people without any literature background to produce a translation that fully reserves the aesthetic(美学的) sense of the original version, according to ren dongsheng, professor with the college of foreign languages of ouc. the 57-year-old writer is known for his description of chinese rural life. the settings for his works range from the 1911 revolution, japans invasion to cultural revolution. mo combines hallucinatory(幻觉的) realism with folk tales, which is more appealing to the taste of western readers than the styles adopted by many of his peers, such as yu hua, su tong and wang shuo, said zhang hongsheng, dean of the literature department of the communication university of china. however, nobel prize is not the unique standard to judge the achievements of a writer. prizes presented by different organizations adopt various evaluation criteria, said xu yan, a literature critic. the quality of a literary work is always judged by the topic, language, structure, the way of story-telling, imagination and some other significant elements. peoples tastes vary from different social background and cultural mechanism, she added. chinese contemporary literature, which appeared in 1949, has seen a trend of diversification since the country adopted the market economy in 1992. the prize is a positive sign that the west begins to recognize chinese literature. but its an acknowledgement of individual efforts, and chinese literature revival still has a long way to go, said zhang. xue called upon chinese writers to produce quality works with international perspectives. good literature should reveal social problems and peoples concerns while create the beauty of art. the society should provide favorable environment for the growth of chinese writers, he stressed. seeking increasing world attention requires chinese writers to maintain the national characteristics and uniqueness. chinese elements are the last to lose in successful writings, zhang said. 46. the article is mainly about_.a. mo yans nobel win sparks piracy concernsb. mo yans hometown to hail nobel successc. mo yan sees income soar following nobel wind. mo yan sparks discussion about chinese literature47. the underlined word “renowned” in paragraph 2 means _a. well-known b. critical c. fantastic d. admirable48. which of the following is not the reason for chinese contemporary literature failed to win the nobel in the past from the opinions of xue yongwu?a. short history b. individual efforts c. political influences d. language translation49. according to zhang hongsheng, what is the main characteristic of mo yans works?a. combining hallucinatory realism with folk tales. b. his description of chinese urban lifec. settings from the 1911 revolution, japans invasion to cultural revolution.d. providing different social background and cultural mechanism50. in order to make chinese contemporary literature better acknowledged across the world, what is the most important from the opinions of zhang hongsheng? a. international characteristics b. international perspectives c. chinese elements d. favorable environmentcwhen i was fourteen, i earned money in the summer by cutting lawns（草坪）, and within a few weeks i had built up a body of customers. i got to know people by the flowers they planted that i had to remember not to cut down, by the things they lost in the grass or struck in the ground on purpose. i reached the point with most of them when i knew in advance what complaint was about to be spoken, which particular request was most important. and i learned something about the measure of my neighbors by their preferred method of payment: by the job, by the month- or not at all.mr. ballou fell into the last category, and he always had a reason why. on one day, he had no change for a fifty, on another he was flat out of checks, on another, he was simply out when i knocked on his door. still, except for the money apart, he was a nice enough guy, always waving or tipping his hat when hed see me from a distance. i figured him for a thin retirement check, maybe a work-relayed injury that kept him from doing his own yard work. sure, i kept track of the total, but i didnt worry about the amount too much. grass was grass, and the little that mr. ballous property comprised didnt take long to trim (修剪). then, one late afternoon in mid-july, the hottest time of the year, i was walking by his house and he opened the door, mentioned me to come inside. the hall was cool, shaded, and it took my eyes a minute to adjust to the dim light. “i owe you,” mr. ballou, “but”i thought id save him the trouble of thinking of a new excuse. “no problem. dont worry about it.”“the bank made a mistake in my account,” he continued, ignoring my words. “it will be cleared up in a day or two. but in the meantime i thought perhaps you could choose one or two volumes for a down payment.he gestured toward the walls and i saw that books were stacked (堆放) everywhere. it was like a library, except with no order to the arrangement.“take your time,” mr. ballou encouraged. “read, borrow, keep. find something you like. what do you read?”“i dont know.” and i didnt. i generally read what was in front of me, what i could get from the paperback stack at the drugstore, what i found at the library, magazines, the back of cereal boxes, comics. the idea of consciously seeking out a special title was new to me, but, i realized, not without appeal- so i started to look through the piles of books.“you actually read all of these?”“this isnt much,” mr. ballou said. “this is nothing, just what ive kept, the ones worth looking at a second time.”“pick for me, then.”he raised his eyebrows, cocked his head, and regarded me as though measuring me for a suit. after a moment, he nodded, searched through a stack, and handed me a dark red hardbound book, fairly thick.“the lastof the just,” i read. “ by andre schwarz-bart. whats it about?”“you tell me,” he said. “next week.”i started after supper, sitting outdoors on an uncomfortable kitchen chair. within a few pages, the yard, the summer, disappeared, and i was plunged into the aching tragedy of the holocaust, the extraordinary clash of good, represented by one decent man, and evil. translated from french, the language was elegant, simple, impossible to resist. when the evening light finally failed i moved inside, read all through the night,to this day, thirty years later, i vividly remember the experience. it was my first voluntary encounter（接触、遇到）with world literature, and i was stunned (震惊) by the concentrated power a novel could contain. i lacked the vocabulary, however, to translate my fee
