The win makes Mo Yan the first Chinese citizen to win the Nobel in its 111-year history. Informed of his win today, the author, who was having dinner at home, was “overjoyed and scared”.Born in 1955 to parents who were farmers, Mo Yan a pen name for Guan Moye, grew up in Gaomi, Shandong province in eastern China. At the age of 12, he left school to work, first in agriculture, later in a factory. In 1976 he joined the army and during this time began to study literature and writing.He published his first book in 1981, but found literary success in 1987 with Hong Gaoliang Jiazu, which was successfully filmed in the same year, directed by famous Chinese director Zhang Yimou. In his writing, Mo Yan draws on his youthful experiences and on settings in the province of his birth and his works show the life of Chinese people as well as the countrys unique culture and folk customs. Mo Yan is known as a productive writer. In addition to his novels, he has published many short stories and essays on various topics. Despite his social criticism, he is seen in his homeland as one of the most famous contemporary authors. Dozens of his works have been translated into English, French, Japanese and many other languages.The awarding ceremony has been held on December 10. The winner has won a medal, a personal diploma and a cash award of about $1 million.21How did Mo Yan feel when he was told about the news?A. Excited and proud. B. Worried and cautious.C. Happy and surprised.D. Uncertain and shocked.22One of Mo Yans characteristics of writing is that he _.A. writes about topics he is familiar withB. focuses on social problems in the countryC. describes his characters in a unique wayD. explains difficult matters in simple words23Whats the best title for this passage?A. A World Famous Writer, Mo Yan B. An Introduction to Nobel PrizeC. How Mo Yan Gets Nobel Prize D. Mo Yan Wins Nobel Prize in LiteratureBWearing ties was originally the mark of Britains most powerful classes, which made the tie itself a symbol of power and respect. And that led it to be adopted by a much larger tribethe business tribe.You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery. So wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man who used your brain to make a living, rather than your hands. It showed you were serious. It showed you were a professional. It meant that everyone who wanted a job in business had to wear one. It was just impossible to take seriously a man who didnt wear a piece of colored silk around his neck.This is how millions of people came to be wearing ties across the world. They are part of the uniform of business.“Ties offer a point of indifference，” says John Milne, head of the British Guide of Tie Makers. “They give a chance to say something about their own personality.”So if you happen to meet a man with a very brightly colored tie, there is a good chance that he is the office joker. There is also a good chance that he will be wearing brightly colored socks.Is there a future for ties? The signs are not promising. Tie wearing seems to be rare among the new bread of entrepreneurs(企业家) in the Internet and new technology industries. Many political leaders，including British Prime Minister Tony Blair, now go without ties. This shows they are men of the peoplebut not the people wearing ties.Up until around 1960, it was common for men across the Western world to wear hats as part of their business uniform. That changed with the election of John F. Kennedy to the presidency of the United States. Kennedy never wore a hat in fact his nickname was“hatless Jack”. Seeing that the most powerful man in the world did not have to wear a hat, millions of other men decided that they did not have to, either. Hats simply vanished across the Western world. Perhaps“tieless Tony”(UK Prime Minister Tony Blair) will have the same effect as “hatless Jack”24In Britain, ties were first used as a sign to show a persons_.A. social position B. personality C. job D. favorite hobby25In the business world，wearing a tie was necessary because_.A. it showed you were welltrainedB. it showed you got a good salaryC. it showed you were an employer D. it showed you were a brainworker26The writer may hold the opinion that_.A. Blair is the best leader in the worldB. millions of people will go to work without a tieC. Kennedy is the best leader in the worldD. people will wear hats instead of ties27The underlined word “vanished” in the last paragraph may mean_.A. sold B. washed C. disappeared D. appearedCIt was the afternoon of December 24, the day before Christmas; and as the newest doctor in our office, I had to work. The only thing that brightened my day was the beautifully decorated Christmas tree in our waiting room and a gift sent to me by a fellow I was dating a dozen long-stemmed red roses.As I was cleaning my office, I was told a lady urgently needed to speak with me. As I stepped out, I noticed a young, tired-looking woman with a baby in her arms. Nervously, she explained that her husband a prisoner in a nearby prison was my next patient. She told me she wasnt allowed to visit her husband in prison and that he had never seen his son. Her request was for me to let the boys father sit in the waiting room with her as long as possible before I called him for his appointment. Since my schedule wasnt full, I agreed. After all, it was Christmas Eve.A short time later, her husband arrived with chains on his feet and hands, and two armed guards as bodyguards. The womans tired face lit up like our little Christmas tree when her husband took a seat beside her. I kept glancing out to watch them laugh, cry and share their child. After almost an hour, I called the prisoner back to my office. The patient seemed like a gentle and modest man. I wondered what he possibly could have done to be held under such conditions. I tried to make him as comfortable as possible.At the end of the appointment, I wished him a Merry Christmas-a difficult thing to say to a man headed back to prison. He smiled and thanked me. He also said he felt saddened by the fact he hadnt been able to get his wife anything for Christmas. On hearing this, I was inspired with a wonderful idea.Ill never forget the look on both their faces as the prisoner gave his wife the beautiful, long-stemmed roses. Im not sure who experienced the most joy the husband in giving, the wife in receiving, or myself in having the opportunity to share in this special moment.28. What can be inferred from the first paragraph?A. The writer was a newcomer to her office.B. She was in low spirits because she had to work before Christmas.C. A fellow sent her a dozen red roses as Christmas present.D. She was at work with a light heart.29. The young woman came to the writers office for the purpose of _.A. having her baby examinedB. giving her husband a chance to make his escapeC. getting a chance for her family to get togetherD. having her husband examined30. The underlined part in paragraph3 most probably means “_”A. to be sent to hospital B. to be separated from his familyC. to become a prisoner D. to be comfortable31. What does the writer learn from the story?A. An act of kindness can mean a lot.B. The wife experienced the most joy in receiving.C. The prisoner was treated with mercy.D. Whoever breaks the law should be punished.DThere are a number of different ways to study a language, each of which has advantages and disadvantages.
