might ignite an explosion of global interest in chinese literature and lead to more titles translated into english, european experts say.“hopefully, the award means more people will read chinese literature and more works will get translated,” says michel hockx, professor of the languages and cultures of china and inner asia from university of london. “many very good chinese writers have been accepted globally for a long time already. mo yan is probably the most translated chinese writer alive, with at least five of his novels made available in english over the past 20 years.”jonathan ruppin, web editor of bookseller foyles, says mos win coincides with growing interest in chinese literature and recognizes the talents of a distinctive and visionary(富于幻想的) writer. “we are very excited by the fact that english translations of more of his books should now become available,” ruppin says. he made the comment after mo became the first chinesse citizen to win the nobel prize for literature in its century- long history.as east- west cultural exchange has been booming, chinese literature has been attracting growing attention in recent years. hockx explains, “its mainly because there are many more opportunities for chinese writers to visit other countries, to publish their works outside china and to interact with readers abroad. at the same time, more and more people globally are learning chinese and taking an interest in the chinese language and culture.”university of oxford lecturer in modern chinese literature margaret hillenbrand says, “the obvious reason for the growing global presence of chinese literature is the growing global presence of china itself. people have come to realize that there is a serious knowledge deficit(缺少)between china and its international counterparts - in particular, china knows incomparably(无比地)more about europe and america than the other way round - and reading chinese literature is an effective, simple means of solving that gap.”49. the underlined word “ignite” in paragraph 1 probably means “ ”.a. start out b. burn up c. set off d. appeal to50.chinese literature has been attracting growing attention mainly because .a. chinese writers have been writing more and more books in english.b. the chinese language has become the most widely used language in the world.c. the chinese government attaches great importance to literature.d. the cultural communication between china and western countries has developed.51. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. the nobel prize for literature has a history of hundreds of years.b. chinese literature has spread with the development of china.c. in the past, no chinese writers were accepted outside china.d. foreigners know about china mainly by reading mo yans works.52. how do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?a. china knows more about europe and america than before.b. compared with america, china knows more about europe.c. china, europe and america know one another more than before.d. china knows more about europe and america than they know china.c i remembered little of the journey which started so early in the morning. i only knew that the day seemed extremely long, and that we appeared to travel over hundreds of miles. calmed by the sound of the carriage wheels, i fell asleep. but i had not slept long when the carriage stopped, the door was opened, and i saw a servant standing there. “is there a little girl called jane eyre here?” she asked. i answered “yes,” and was then lifted out. i could see a house with many windows. there was lights burning in some of them. we went up a wide path, and were admitted at a door. then the servant led me through a passage through a passage into a room where she left me. i stood and warmed my frozen fingers at the fire and looked around. there was no candle, but the light from the fire showed walls, a carpet, curtains and furniture. then the door opened, and a tall lady entered followed by another who looked younger. “the child is very young to be sent alone,” she said, putting her candle down on the table. led by the young lady, miss miller, through passage after passage, we came, at last to a long, wide room filled with many voices. there were many tables, and seated all round on benches were a large number of girls aged from nine to twenty. seen in the dim(昏暗的) light of the candles, their number appeared above eighty. each was dressed in a brown old fashioned dress of cheap material. it was their hour of study. miss miller signed to me to sit on a bench near the door, and then walking up to the top of the long room she cried out “monitors, collect the lesson-books and put them away!” four tall girls arose and went round, gathered the books and removed them. miss miller again ordered, “ monitors, fetch the supper-trays(托盘)!” then tall girls went out and returned soon, each carrying a big tray. the food was handed round and everyone drank from the same mug. when it came to my turn, i drank too, for i was thirsty, but i did not touch the food. from there i was taken to my hard bed where i thankfully fell asleep immediately.53. what is the best title for the passage?a. jane eyres first day at school b. jane eyres long journey to schoolc. jane eyres first meal at school d. jane eyres first impression of the school54. jane remembered little of the journey partly because _ .a. she was asleep on the way b. she traveled over hundreds of milesc. the day seemed very long d. she was calmed by the sound of the wheels55. which of the following is true?a. jane was led to the wide room by the tall ladyb. miss miller helped put the books awayc. the monitors were tall and strongd. there were about 50 girls in the room56. we can learn from the passage that _ .a. the school accepted both boys and girlsb. the living conditions for students were poorc. the classroom was also used as a meeting roomd. the students there needed to fetch food themselvesdexperts believe that storms and severe weather in north america and asia have disrupted bird flight paths across the world and swept huge numbers of bird species towards the british isles.birds flying to the other side of the atlantic or to the pacific to lay their eggs have been trapped in britain and ireland, adding their numbers to native species, and causing great excitement in the bird-watching community.local birdwatchers have already observed a total of 442 species in the british isles this year. the highest number ever seen in one year is 445, in 2008.“we only need four more to break our record,” said lee evans, who runs the british birding association. “with three months to go, im sure well do it.”last month an extremely rare siberian rubythroat bird was seen in scotland, sending hundreds of birdwatchers north in the hope of catching a glimpse of this colourful asian beauty. another very uncommon bird, the bufflehead duck was cited in cornwell and caused similar excitement. “i couldnt believe it,” said evans. “the poor thing was completely knackered. it must have been blown to england by the storms while trying to fly from canada to the southern united states for the winter. thats 3000 miles!” evans said that global warming over the past decade was playing a key role in transforming bird movements across the world. in addition, melting arctic sea ice may also be opening up bird flight paths over the north pole, making it easier for birds from the pacificsuch as the slaty-backed gull and tufted puffin, both of which appeared in london earlier this yearto reach britain.bird-watching is becoming an increasingly popular hobby among all age groups, added evans. “a fifth of our members
