A
In the rich world of literature in 2024, three books have made a splash. Let's explore them.
Small Rain by Garth Greenwell
Garth Greenwell, famed for prior works on intimacy, shifts focus in Small Rain. A poet, after a near-fatal incident at home during the early pandemic, spends a long time in the ICU. He loses control to the hospital staff. While the pain of illness is described, the spotlight is on his mental state. Greenwell's writing vividly shows the complex thoughts that come with pain and the wish to avoid being studied by strangers. A doctor's name can set off the narrator's deep thinking, like his thoughts on Mahler's music. Small Rain is a profound novel that digs into the emotions of longing and grief, uncovering the essence of life.
Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner
After a failed task for the U.S. government, Sadie Smith, a new freelance spy, heads to a French town. There, she meets an anarchist commune led by a charming leader. The group might disrupt a government project. Sadie, hired by an unknown client, aims to find out their plans or cause trouble. Unlike the seemingly simple characters she meets, Sadie is sharp. Her only match seems to be Bruno Lacombe, an older recluse. Rachel Kushner's new work, after The Mars Room, is a great literary thriller.
Highway Thirteen by Fiona McFarlane
Fiona McFarlane's short-story collection, Highway Thirteen, centers around the fictional Australian serial killer Paul Bigba. The characters, not all victims, handle their anxieties through the killer's crimes. But it's not all dark. There are funny parts, like the talk of podcast hosts or a couple's complaint. In "Hostel", a woman repeatedly tells the story of her friends' possible encounter with a victim. After they part, the narrator wants to hear it one last time, longing for a connection to life's mystery while staying safe.

C. The exploration of the narrator's inner thoughts.
D. The description of the hospital environment.
3. What makes Highway Thirteen different from ordinary crime stories?

In the vast expanse of the Internet, a peculiarly charming cultural phenomenon has emerged, playfully thrusting two literary giants, Mo Yan and Yu Hua, into the spotlight of online memes.
The story began with a 00s girl named Xin Anxiao from Zhejiang. Deeply enamored of literature, especially Shi Tiesheng's works, she was inspired by Yu Hua's unique image and, on January 26, 2023, created a set of rather extraordinary memes. In these, Mo Yan, Yu Hua, and Shi Tiesheng were all depicted as adorable puppies, with only their upper bodies shown. Ingeniously, she placed Shi Tiesheng's image between Yu Hua and Mo Yan, seemingly symbolizing the intricate and close bonds among the three in the literary realm. With great reverence for the writers, she posted these memes on Xiaohongshu.
To everyone's surprise, this set of memes spread like wildfire across the net, triggering a frenzy among netizens. They were astounded by the cleverness and vividness of the memes, and their popularity soared at an astonishing pace. Although the versions later used by Mo Yan and Yu Hua were not the original ones by Xin Anxiao, it did not dampen the enthusiasm. Instead, it drew even more attention to these three prominent figures in literature, spawning countless discussions and speculations.
On the evening of April 15, 2024, Mo Yan published an article titled "Mo Yan: Received Yu Hua's Contribution Today" on his official account. The WeChat chat screenshots attached in the article became an instant sensation. The dog-like meme avatars similar to their images caught everyone's eyes, reigniting the heated debate online.
Finally, on April 26, Yu Hua addressed the issue during a live stream. He chuckled and explained that those were not their actual WeChat avatars but were Photoshopped. In fact, Yu Hua had already shown his acceptance of being humorously compared to a "scruffy puppy" in previous responses. His open-mindedness and humor have endeared him even more to the public.
This online phenomenon, seemingly replete with banter and ridicule, has, inadvertently, bridged the gap between literature and the general public. It has drawn the attention of more people, especially the younger generation, to the works of writers like Mo Yan and Yu Hua as well as the literary worlds behind them. Perhaps this is the unique charm engendered by the collision of online culture and literature. It has, in an unexpected manner, blazed a new trail for the dissemination of literature and has also enabled us to perceive the infinite possibilities of cultural inheritance and innovation in the digital age.
4. What inspired the 00s girl Xin Anxiao to create the memes?
A. Her love for cute animals.
B. Her admiration for Mo Yan and Yu Hua's novels.
C. Her fondness for Shi Tiesheng's works and Yu Hua's image.
D. Her desire to become famous on the Internet.
5. Why did the memes gain such popularity?
A. Because they were created by a famous artist.
B. Because of their unique and vivid design.
C. Because Mo Yan and Yu Hua promoted them.
D. Because they were related to a popular TV show.
6. What did Yu Hua clarify in the live stream?
A. That the avatars in the screenshots were Photoshopped.
B. That he and Mo Yan had always used those avatars.
C. That he liked the memes very much.
D. That he would create more memes in the future.
8. What is the significance of this meme incident?
A. It made Mo Yan and Yu Hua more popular among the elderly.
B. It only brought some short-term entertainment.
C. It opened up new ways for literary dissemination and showed the charm of cultural collision.
D. It led to a decline in the quality of literature.

The Frankfurt Book Fair, concluded on Oct 20, witnessed the enthusiasm of international readers like Stephan Fischer from Germany. Fischer, attracted by the opportunity of a 15 - day visa - free travel to China and his love for pandas, was exploring Chinese books at the fair. The Chinese publishing delegation presented over 3,500 titles, covering various genres. Humanities books have become significant in connecting Chinese and international publishers.
The Chinese exhibition, spanning 580 square meters and involving around 70 publishing houses led by a major corporation, made elaborate preparations. As Sun Wei of Beijing Yanshan Publishing House pointed out, the display of high - quality academic books and journals was a highlight, integrating Chinese knowledge into global discourse. Academic publishing serves as a platform for international dialogue.
Juergen Boos, the fair's director, emphasized the close bond between the fair and Chinese publishers. The introduction of the "Asian Stage" this year provided a new opportunity for cross - cultural author exchanges.
The fair also saw several significant agreements. Zhonghua Book Company and Springer Nature collaborated on an English version of a book. Springer Nature, with a long - standing history of cooperation with Chinese publishers since 1981, now works with around 100 houses and publishes a large number of academic titles annually. The influence of the Chinese publishing industry is expanding overseas via different means, as noted by Niels Peter Thomas.
Zhang Hong of China Publishing Group stressed the role of publishing in cultural and academic exchanges. The agreement between the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press and Taylor and Francis Group was a significant step in promoting Chinese academic research globally. Wang Fang of FLTRP aimed for a balanced approach of "bringing in" and "going out" in the future.

Whitby, a town endowed with a copious and profound literary legacy, is poised to inaugurate a remarkable event. The Whitby Lit Fest, a quadrennial soiree scheduled for November 2025, aspires to be a podium where novelists, poets, and playwrights can parade their creative oeuvres. This festival is not simply an artistic revelry but also a sagacious stratagem by North Yorkshire Council to augment tourism during the latter segment of the year
The town of Whitby has been inextricably associated with a plethora of eminent writers. While it is ubiquitously famed for its nexus to Bram Stoker's Dracula, its literary affiliations sprawl across a capacious spectrum. From Lewis Carol and Charles Dickens to the archaic poetry of Caedmon and the literary productions of Elizabeth Gaskell, Whitby has functioned as a fount of inspiration for numerous literary virtuosos.
Lois Kirtlan, the overseer of Hetty and Betty café, has been designated the festival director. She was astounded by the dearth of a literature festival in Whitby when she embarked on her entrepreneurial venture six years ago. Given the town's bounteous literary patrimony, it seemed rather anomalous that such an event was nonexistent. Albeit initial blueprints were stymied by the pandemic, she has since mustered a steering coterie to ensure the festival attains fruition.
A cardinal facet of the Whitby Lit Fest is its accentuation on promoting fledgling talent. Adele Duffield, an outreach bibliothecary and local wordsmith who is part of the steering group, accentuates the festival's import. She asseverates that galvanizing the younger generation and proffering a platform for neophyte writers to burgeon alongside established authors is a noble and estimable pursuit. A juvenile writing competition has been mooted, with organizers contriving to collaborate with local schools to unearth the "luminaries of tomorrow's literary firmament."
This festival, incontrovertibly, proffers an optimal opportunity to showcase and foster emergent literary talent. An event at Hetty and Betty on 8 November will serve as an informational conclave for local businesses and venues hankering to partake.
12. What is the preponderant objective of the Whitby Lit Fest?
A. To solely venerate Bram Stoker's Dracula.
B. To foster local writing aptitude and invigorate tourism.
C. To merely spotlight established authors.
D. To conduct a writing tournament for adults.
13. Why did Lois Kirtlan deem it aberrant that Whitby lacked a literature festival?
A. Because it was a sprawling town.
B. Because it had no liaison with any scribes.
C. Because of its opulent literary heritage.
D. Because she aspired to commence a business.
14. What was the upshot of the pandemic on the festival?
A. It rendered the festival more voguish.
B. It deferred the actualization of the festival blueprints.
C. It had no bearing on the festival.
D. It culminated in the annulment of the festival.
15. What is one proposed enterprise to promote nascent talent?
A. A junior writing competition.
B. A senior writing competition.
C. A poetry recital by established authors only.
D. A workshop for professional writers.

1、 阅读理解
1. 答案为 B。A 选项“它们都有一个侦探角色”错误,只有 Creation Lake 中有类似间谍角色去探寻情况,并非侦探,且 Small Rain 和 Highway Thirteen 没有;C 选项“它们都是历史小说”不符合,文中未提及这些作品是历史背景相关;D 选项“它们都有一个幸福的结局”文中未提及结局情况。而这三本书分别从不同角度展现了如 Small Rain 中的病痛与内心挣扎、Creation Lake 中的人物矛盾与悬疑氛围、Highway Thirteen 中因杀手案件引发的多种人物情感,都涉及了各种人类情感体验,所以 B 正确。
2. 答案是 C。A 选项“医疗治疗细节”不是重点突出的内容;B 选项“与其他病人的关系”文中未提及;D 选项“医院环境描写”并非最突出的。原文明确指出“对于格林韦尔对疾病身体疼痛的有力描写,最突出的是他对思想的关注”,所以 C 探索叙述者的内心想法是正确的。

以下是对这四道阅读理解题答案的解析:
4. 答案:C
解析:文章明确提到浙江的00后女孩辛安小因喜欢史铁生的作品,又受到余华形象的影响,所以创作了相关表情包。A选项“她对可爱动物的喜爱”并非创作的主要灵感来源;B选项只提到对莫言和余华小说的欣赏不准确,重点是史铁生作品以及余华形象的启发;D选项“她想在互联网上成名”文中未提及,所以C选项符合原文描述。
5. 答案:B

7. 答案:C
解析:文章结尾指出这一表情包事件看似戏谑调侃,但拉近了文学与大众距离,为文学传播开辟新路径,展现了网络文化与文学碰撞的魅力。A选项“让莫言和余华在老年人中更受欢迎”文中未提及针对老年人的影响;B选项“只带来短期娱乐”过于片面,其意义不止于此;D选项“导致文学质量下降”与原文表达的积极意义相悖,所以C选项正确阐述了该事件的重要意义。
8. 答案为 B。原文提到“Stephan Fischer 说‘我喜爱熊猫。我最近得知德国人现在可以免签证到中国旅游 15 天。我真的很期待去那里看大熊猫,这些书将为我提供我需要的所有信息’”,明确表明他探索中国书籍的主要吸引力是去中国的免签旅行机会以及他对熊猫的喜爱,A 选项书籍价格、C 选项众多出版社以及 D 选项学术书籍的特别优惠均未提及,所以 B 正确。
9. 答案是 C。文中表述“人文书籍尤其吸引了全球的关注,成为中国和国际出版商之间的重要桥梁”,A 选项儿童文学、B 选项教育以及 D 选项生活方式书籍未被提及在连接中外出版商方面起到关键作用,所以 C 人文书籍正确。
10. 答案为 A。原文指出“Springer Nature 自 1981 年起就与中国出版商合作,当时它开始出版中国科学家的学术著作,包括著名数学家华罗庚的著作”,B 选项 Taylor and Francis Group、C 选项 Zhonghua Book Company 以及 D 选项 Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press 均不符合从 1981 年开始合作的描述,所以 A 正确。

以下是这些阅读理解题目的答案解析:
12. 答案为 B。文章提到“Whitby Lit Fest 将是一个为期四天的活动,旨在为小说家、诗人和剧作家展示他们的作品,同时北约克郡议会希望该节日有助于在今年晚些时候促进旅游业”,明确表明其主要目的是促进当地写作人才发展以及推动旅游业,A 选项仅提及庆祝与布莱姆·斯托克的《德古拉》相关内容过于片面;C 选项只关注知名作家不符合,还强调了新兴人才;D 选项举办成人写作比赛未提及,所以 B 正确。
13. 答案是 C。文中 Lois Kirtlan 说“一个有着如此深厚文学底蕴的城镇竟然没有自己的文学节,这似乎有点奇怪”,表明是因为 Whitby 丰富的文学遗产才让她觉得没有文学节很奇怪,A 选项城镇大小未提及;B 选项与文中提到的众多文学关联相悖;D 选项她创业与觉得奇怪的原因无关,所以 C 正确。

15. 答案为 A。文中提到“Adele Duffield 说已经提议举办一个青少年写作比赛,组织者将与当地学校合作以发现‘未来最伟大的作家’”,B 选项高级写作比赛错误;C 选项仅知名作者诗歌朗诵未提及对新兴人才的促进;D 选项专业作家研讨会也未提及对新兴人才的作用,所以 A 正确。
2、 七选五

17. 答案:D
解析:上一句提到工作是围绕着延续和传播讲故事等方面的理念,“Actually, what we’re doing is spreading and continuing the ideas around what it is to be human.”(实际上,我们正在做的是传播和延续关于做人意味着什么的理念)对工作内容进行了进一步的阐释和升华,使关于工作理念的表述更加完整和深入,符合此处语境。
18. 答案:G
解析:前面讲述家庭故事对她的影响,空处所在段落主要围绕她的写作生涯展开,“The stories from her family became the base of her writing career.”(她家庭的故事成为了她写作生涯的基础)起到了承上启下的作用,将家庭故事与写作生涯联系起来,使文章过渡自然。

3、 完形填空
21. 答案为 B。“famous”意思是“著名的”,用来描述“New Kid”这部小说广为人知,在知名度的表达上较为常用和贴切;“popular”更强调受大众喜爱、流行;“well - known”相对比较普通平常;“renowned”则更倾向于表示因卓越成就而闻名遐迩,程度上有些过强,所以“famous”在此处最为合适。
22. 答案是 D。根据文章内容,小说中的非洲裔美国男孩在以白人为主的学校里是感到不自在、格格不入的,“out of place”恰好能表达这种状态;“comfortable”表示舒适;“welcome”是受欢迎;“at home”表示自在、像在家一样,均不符合文意。
23. 答案为 A。“Newbery Medal”是一项在儿童文学领域极具分量的荣誉,“honor”有“荣誉、光荣”之意,能准确体现该奖项的性质;“achievement”侧重于个人取得的成就;“award”主要指奖项这个事物本身;“recognition”更多表示认可、承认,所以“honor”是最恰当的。
24. 答案是 A。文中提到他觉得阅读普通书籍不是一种享受而是一种苦差事,“chore”有“繁琐乏味的工作、杂务”的含义,符合语境;“duty”主要指责任、义务;“job”通常指有报酬的工作;“task”泛指任务,相比之下“chore”更能传达出那种厌烦的感觉。
25. 答案为 C。“far from”是固定搭配,表示“远离、与……大相径庭”,这里指学校里的其他书籍与他的生活相差很远;“different”和“distinct”虽然也有不同的意思,但不能与“from”构成这种特定表达距离或差异程度的短语;“remote”主要表示遥远的、偏僻的,在此处不恰当。
26. 答案是 B。“connect to”表示“与……建立联系、产生共鸣”,这里说他无法与那些书籍在情感或经历上产生共鸣,所以用“connect”;“link”主要指连接、联系具体的事物;“touch”有触摸、接触或涉及的意思;“join”表示加入、连接成一体,均不符合此处语境。
27. 答案为 D。彼得·帕克需要保守自己超能力的秘密,“secret”就是“秘密”的意思,符合情节;“rule”是规则;“code”通常指代码、密码或准则;“mystery”更多表示神秘的事物或谜团,这里指超能力的秘密,“secret”最准确。
28. 答案是 C。从后文可知他的父母没有轻视或贬低他对漫画的爱好,“belittle”意思是“贬低、轻视”;“praise”是赞扬;“encourage”是鼓励;“support”是支持,只有“belittle”符合文意。
29. 答案为 C。一些学校会没收漫画,“confiscate”专门表示“没收、充公”;“take”“seize”“grab”虽然也有拿、抓取的意思,但没有“没收”这种特定的法律或管理层面的含义,所以“confiscate”是正确的。
30. 答案是 D。他是因为热爱绘画才开始创作漫画,“drawing”就是“绘画”的意思;“painting”更多指油画、绘画艺术;“writing”是写作;“creating”是创造,这里强调的是绘画这个行为,所以“drawing”合适。
31. 答案为 B。他决定创作一本书,这里“novel”指长篇小说,与他创作的“New Kid”这种小说类型相呼应;“story”比较宽泛,可以是故事、短篇小说等;“book”过于笼统;“tale”常指传说、故事,不如“novel”准确。
32. 答案是 A。“relate to”表示“与……有关联、能理解、产生共鸣”,这里说他想让有色人种孩子能像其他粉丝那样与书产生关联、理解书中内容,所以用“relate”;“refer to”是参考、涉及;“respond to”是回应;“react to”是对……作出反应,均不符合此处语义。
33. 答案为 C。他认为“New Kid”获得纽伯瑞奖是所有漫画小说的一次胜利,“victory”表示“胜利、成功”;“progress”是进步;“success”虽然也有成功的意思,但“victory”更能体现出在竞争或某种领域突破方面的成功含义;“conquest”主要指征服,不太符合语境。
34. 答案是 D。漫画创作需要考虑很多细节,所以很耗时,“consuming”有“消耗(时间、精力等)的”意思;“wasteful”是浪费的;“tiring”和“exhausting”主要表示令人疲劳的,但没有准确表达出消耗时间精力的意思,“consuming”最符合。
35. 答案为 C。虽然漫画创作耗时,但他觉得是有回报、值得的,“rewarding”表示“有回报的、值得的”;“worthy”主要表示有价值的、配得上的;“valuable”强调有价值;“profitable”侧重有利可图的,这里说创作的过程虽然辛苦但有意义,“rewarding”最恰当。
4、 语法填空
36.was released。考查被动语态,award list与release是被动关系,且根据on Friday可知是一般过去时。
37.spanning。考查非谓语,与awarded并列作伴随状语,和主语是主动关系,用现在分词。
38.initiated。考查非谓语,作后置定语修饰magazine,和magazine是被动关系,用过去分词。
