BWhat are some of the best stories you have ever read? Fairy tales from Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen, or the Sherlock Holmes Doyle? Now, you can add another person to your list of favourite authors. His name is Cao Wenxuan, and he is a Chinese writer who is well known for writing childrens fiction.On April 4, Cao won the 2016 Hans Christian Andersen Prize(国际安徒生奖) in Italy. He is the first Chinese writer to ever win this important award for childrens literature. “The unanimous(全体一致的) choice of the jury(评委会), Cao writes beautifully about the complex(复杂的) lives of children facing great challenges,” Patricia Aldana, the 2016 Hans Christian Andersen jury president, said to Xinhua.Cao was born in a poor family in 1954 and lived there for 20 years. Caos books are set in the 1950s and 1960s in the countryside of China, drawing from his childhood experiences. Many of his books have been put into different languages for readers around the world to enjoy.If you read Caos stories, you will find many beautiful and poetic descriptions of scenery. For example, in The Grass House(1997，草房子), Cao writes,” The grass grows tough. When the sun shines, the grass shines like copper wire(铜线). When the wind blows from the sea, the grass makes surprisingly metal-like sounds.”Cao also uses love as a theme in his stories, and he describes it with great beauty. You can find this theme in Bronze and Sunflower(2005，青铜与葵花). A country boy named Bronze who cannot speak meets a city girl named Sunflower. He takes Sunflower as his little sister after her father dies in an accident. Bronze does everything he can to make Sunflower happy: He leaves school to make sure there is money for Sunflowers studies, he catches fireflies(萤火虫) for her and he makes a light to help Sunflower do her homework. But it seems they are doomed(命中注定的) to be pulled apart(分离) Though the ending is sad, it helps make the story more realistic. “Sadness is a beautiful emotion(情感). It helps kids understand the real world when it is expressed properly,” Cao once told The Wen Hui Daily.When Cao creates a story, he does not write specially for someone. Adults can find beauty in his stories, and the plots(情节) he invents tend to impress children. “I tell authentic(地道的) Chinese stories, but they are stories that all humans can relate to(关联). This might be a key reason why I won this award,” he said.( ) 36.

The underlined word “tough” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_” in Chinese. A. 艰苦的B. 粗暴的 C. 坚强的D. 生动的( ) 38. Cao describes the following in his stories EXCEPT _.A. the complex lives of childrenB. beautiful sceneryC. the theme of loveD. the challenges adults face( ) 39. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs? A. The happy ending makes the story realistic.B. Cao thinks sadness helps kids to grow.C. Cao writes stories for someone.D. Adults cant find beauty in Caos stories.( ) 40. Cao won the 2016 Hans Christian Andersen Prize probably because _.A. many of his books have been translated into different languages so farB. his books are full of attractive fairy tales and exciting detective stories C. in his books he tells true Chinese stories that all humans are connected to D. his childhood experiences in the countryside are vividly described in his booksCSome years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the lake behind his house. He ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks and shirt as he went.He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator(短吻鳄) was getting close. The mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water, shouting to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy made a Uturn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him. The mother caught her little boy by the arms just as the alligator pulled his legs. That began an unbelievable tug-of-war(拔河比赛) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother did her best not to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, rushed from his truck and helped them.Luckily, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were seriously scarred(疤痕) by the terrible attack of the animal. And on his arms, were deep scars where his mothers fingernails dug into his arms in her effort to pull the son she loved.The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted the legs. And then, he said to the reporter, “Look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mum wouldnt let go.”( ) 41. _ was in the middle of the lake.A.

Just as the Tyrannosaurus rex(霸王龙) came crashing out of the jungle, everything disappeared into a blaze of light.I blinked and looked around. I was surrounded by lots of bald people with no eyebrows. They had little headsets wired into their heads and were wearing silver clothes. They looked like they belonged in that old sci-fi TV show.“You have come,” said the bald woman next to me.“Welcome, Great One,” said the bald man next to her.“Huh?” I said.“You invented time travel,” said the woman, “3000 years ago.”“You are the worlds greatest inventor,” said the bald man. “You are a genius(天才).”“Genius! Genius!
