Eighty-two-year-old Munro is only the 13th woman to win the 112-year-old prize. Munro didnt publish her first collection of short stories until she was 37 years old, but her stories have always been well-received. Lots of her stories share similar themes and characters, but each story has its own twists and turns. Even though shes won Canadas most famous literary award, the Giller Prize, twice, winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the cherry on top of Munros career. “It brings this incredible recognition, both of her and her career, and of the dedication to the short story,” said one person. Along with the well-respected title comes 1.3 million dollars. Munro said everything was “so surprising and wonderful” and that she was “dazed by all the attention and affection that has been coming my way.” Munro knew she was in the runningshe was named the second-most likely person to win this years prize, after Haruki Murakami (村上春树）of Japanbut she never thought that she would win. Munros win also represents the long way Canadian writers have come. “When I began writing there was a very small community of Canadian writers and little attention was paid by the world. Now Canadian writers are read, admired and respected around the globe,” Munro said on Thursday. She is technically not the first Canadian to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but many like to think that she is. In 1976 Saul Bellow, who was born in Quebec but moved to Chicago when he was still a child, won the prize. Even though he was born in Canada, he is mostly considered to be an American writer. “This is a win for us all. Canadians, by our very nature, are not very nationalistic,” said Geoffrey Taylor. “But things like this suddenly make you want to find a flag.” She wasnt sure if she would keep writing if she won the prize, saying that it would be “nice to go out with a bang. But this may change my mind.”1. What is the feature of Munros stories? A. They have their own complicated contents. B. They have similar story backgrounds. C. They have specific themes for children. D. They have the same characters in each book.2. For Munro, the Nobel Prize is an award for_. A. her love for Canadian culture B. her devotion to the short story C. her special form of writing D. her career of editing short stories3. What is implied in the sixth paragraph? A. Canadian writers paid little attention to the prize. B. Canadian writers are just a small community. C. Canadian writers have long been ignored. D. Canadians have a long way to win the prize.4. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. How Alice Munro wins the Nobel Prize B. An introduction to the Nobel Prize in Literature C. Alice Munro wins Nobel Prize in Literature D.

ATwo Attractive Shoppers BLorenzo Bertolla Sweaters CWays of AdvertisingDUndercover Marketing D Researchers have claimed that the cool kids are just as likely to get bullied as unpopular children - and that the consequences could be greater for them. Researchers say the bullying of popular children was an invisible crime as many refused to acknowledge problems for fear of ruining their standing. They also found becoming more popular both increases the risk of getting bullied and worsens the negative consequences of being victimized. Study found that popular children feel they have further to fall. Females and physically or socially weak youth are also victimized at particularly high rates, according to the study, but most impressive was that relatively popular youth are always among the ranks of the victims. The study found that the risk of being bullied increases as adolescents climb their schools social ladder up until they approach the very top, when the risk stops. The students at the top, approximately the 5 percent most popular kids in school, sit just above the trouble, possibly because their extremely high status puts them out of reach of any rivals. The study looked at the social networks of 4,000 youths in three counties in North Carolina. Study subjects from 19 schools, enrolled in grades eight through 10, were asked various questions and asked to name their five closest friends. From this, the authors were able to construct social networks resembling large webs of friendships with a dense hub in the center made up of the most popular students. The study found victims of bullies suffered psychological, social and academic consequences, and they experienced high levels of anxiety, anger and depression. “Most of these bad consequences were worse for high-status targets, because while socially marginal youth are often brutally bullied, a single bullying event may be particularly psychologically and socially damaging for popular students, who feel that they have farther to fall,” Faris said. 12. How do the cool kids react to being bullied? A. They usually keep it a secret. B. They turn to social ladder. C. They report it to teachers. D. They ask friends for support. 13. What can we know about cool kids? A. They like making friends. B. They never care about their standing. C. They might meet with more bullies. D. They feel they will never fail. 14. What conclusion can we draw from the passage? A. The higher status the kids have, the less they are bullied. B. Only when you are beyond match can you escape being bullied. C. Bully victims do not include female students or strong boys. D. Popular students often put themselves out of the reach of rivals. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Great care should be given to bully victims. B. Cool kids should be taught to avoid being bullied. C. Cool kids are at more risk of being bullied. D. Popular kids should learn to cheer up. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Transport Industry In The UK The transport industry employs around 2.3 million people in the UK across some 196,000 companies.
