Born on January 12th, 1876, in San Francisco, California, London grew up in the working class. He had delivered newspapers, shoveled (铲) coal, worked on a ship, and found employment in a cannery (罐头厂). In his free time, he preferred to stay at libraries, reading novels and travel books. At the age of 17, London experienced a painful voyage, one in which a typhoon had nearly taken out London and his crew. The adventurer made it home and told his mother what had happened to him. When his mother saw an announcement in one of the local papers for a writing contest, she pushed her son to write down and submit his story. Though armed with just an eighth-grade education, London won first prize and got $25. For London, the contest was an eye-opening experience and he decided to devote his life to writing short stories. But he had trouble finding willing publishers. After trying to make a living on the East Coast, he returned to California and briefly enrolled at the University of California at Berkeley, before heading north to Canada to seek at least a small fortune in the gold rush happening in the Yukon. By 22, however, London still hadn’t put together much of a living. But this time, he believed that he could make a living as a writer because he felt that he had so many stories to tell. Then in 1899, he began publishing stories in the Overland Monthly. At the age of 27, London finally found fame. With his novel The Call of the Wild making a great success, he carried on his hard-driving writing style. Later on, he published over 50 books over the last 16 years of his life.

Even as she won the Nobel Prize in 2013, Munro remained private and modest, and described her life in a small town in Ontario as ordinary, quiet and happy. Munro passed away in May 2013 at the age of 92. Ms. Munro was one of the few writers, who made their reputations in the challenging genre (体裁) of the short story, and did so with great success. Her stories, many of which focused on women at different stages of their lives dealing with complex emotions, attracted a whole new generation of readers. Ms. Munro’s stories were widely considered to be without equal, a mixture of ordinary people and extraordinary themes. She described small-town lives, often in rural southwestern Ontario, facing situations that mixed reality with strangeness. Some of her characters felt so fully developed that readers connected with them as if they were in a novel. A major theme in Munro’s work was the inner lives of women and girls. Her female characters often faced cruelty from men, yet their thoughts and quiet acts of defence exposed hidden strength. Munro once said that, in her childhood, girls were taught to “shrink (限制) their minds” to fit the limited roles society gave them. Her stories gave voice to those unspoken struggles. 1．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To introduce Alice Munro’s life and literary achievements. B．To criticize Alice Munro’s writing style. C．To compare Munro’s works with other Nobel Prize winners. D．To discuss the challenges of writing short stories. 2．How did Munro describe her own life? A．Exciting and adventurous. B．Challenging and busy. C．Lonely and difficult. D．Ordinary and quiet. 3．According to the passage, what is a major theme in Munro’s works? A．Adventures in rural Ontario. B．The inner lives of women and girls. C．Historical events in Canada. D．Scientific discoveries. 4．How does the author most likely view Alice Munro’s work? A．Disapproving. B．Indifferent. C．Admiring. D．Humorous. （24-25高一下·湖南·期中）Fromancient epics (史诗) like Homer’s The Iliad, which recorded the heroism and tragedy of the Trojan War, to modern novels like All Quiet on the Western Front or The Things They Carried, war narratives (叙事) often focus on the human cost of battle. As is known to us all, before a war, stories might center on romance, family, or nature adventure. However, once war suddenly breaks out, the focus changes accordingly. Writers and storytellers begin to present the real emotions of fear, loss, and survival. The tone (语气) becomes darker and tends to examine inner feelings, as the characters struggle with hard choices, sufferings, and the uncertainty of life in the middle of destruction. Personally, I think war doesn’t just change how stories are told; it also changes what stories are told. Themes of heroism, common in pre-war literature, give way to themes of disappointment, loss of innocence, and the questioning of authority, making people aware of the real society in war literature. Both soldiers returning from war and other people often struggle to fit back into a society that no longer understands their experiences, which serves as a powerful theme in post-war literature. For example, in J.D．Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, the loneliness of Holden Caulfield can be seen as a reflection of post-World War II society, where many people including Holden Caulfield hated wars and felt isolated due to the horrors they had observed. Stories are not only a way to document history; they are also a way for people to process sufferings. War is disastrous, and for those who have lived through it, literature often becomes a tool for curing. Writing allows authors to process their pain, sadness, and confusion. For readers, stories about war offer a way to understand reality and they can find themselves relating to the struggles of others so that they can be inspired by those characters. 1．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．The various reasons of war breakout. B．The bad outcomes of war expansion. C．The role of wars in literary revolution. D．The influence of wars on storytelling. 2．What kind of topic is a hit in war literature? A．Heroism. B．Romanticism. C．Realism. D．Collectivism. 3．What does the underlined word “isolated” mean in paragraph 3? A．Peaceful. B．Separated. C．Proud. D．Angry. 4．Why does literature become a tool for curing? A．It helps writers see positive sides. B．It makes readers ignore the reality. C．It well connects writers with readers. D．It serves both writers and readers well. （24-25高一下·贵州黔西·阶段练习）“When I was 8, a doctor predicted that I wouldn’t live past 20. But now I’m here, at 29, happy with my life,” says Ma Jun, the youngest prize-winner of this year’s Junma Award for Ethnic Literature, one of China’s four major national literary prizes held every four years. Ma, who uses a wheelchair, was born in 1995 in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region. His first winning prose collection (散文集) Qing Bai Shijie (The Green and White Stone Steps), is divided into five parts, describing his life experiences: growing up, daily life, love and desire, emotions and reflections. In Chinese, qing bai suggests purity and innocence. In the opening chapter, he reminded his childhood when he couldn’t move or stand without help. While his peers ran and played, Ma could only sit on the stone steps, watching in frustration and sadness. Some people cruelly suggested his lack of mobility was “divine punishment (天谴)” for supposed wrongdoings. Through his writing, Ma hopes to counter such prejudice (偏见), showing that he is no different from anyone else. Shi Tiesheng’s best-seller Wo Yu Ditan (I and the Temple of Earth) changed Ma’s life. Shi, a renowned writer who also uses a wheelchair, had transformed his struggles into literature. Ma was struck by the realization that someone with similar struggles could find meaning and joy in life. He started a three-year journey of writing the book by recording his own life, pouring his heart and soul into the words. “Be a faithful writer.” It is now his life motto. Writing is not just a profession for Ma — it’s a lifeline, a way to connect with the world and leave behind a footprint of courage, sincerity and hope. 1．Why did Ma Jun use Qing Bai Shijie as the title of the prose collection? A．To counter prejudice against people with disabilities. B．To entertain readers with his life stories. C．To win literary awards easily. D．To present his wisdom and bravery. 2．Which of the following about Shi Tiesheng is TRUE? A．He is the oldest prize-winner of the Junma Award for Ethnic Literature. B．He suggested that Ma Jun’s lack of mobility was “divine punishment”. C．He also uses a wheelchair and has transformed his struggles into literature. D．He wrote a book called Qing Bai Shijie. 3．What is the meaning of writing for Ma Jun? A．A way to make a living. B．A way to connect with the world and leave a footprint. C．A hobby to pass the time. D．A way to forget his struggles and find joy. 4．Which one is the best to describe Ma Jun’s character according to the text? A．Weak and negative. B．Tough and optimistic. C．Generous and honest. D．Humorous and smart. （24-25高一下·江苏苏州·阶段练习）As we walked slowly downhill to the boats, the doctor told us the story. “Two months ago,” he began, “Ben found the treasure and dug it up. He carried it on his back, in many tiring journeys, from under the pine tree to a cave he found. That’s when we arrived on the Hispaniola.” “I went to meet Gunn on the afternoon of the attack,” continued the doctor. “Then, when I couldn’t see the ship anymore, I visited Silver. I gave him the useless map and the supplies as Ben Gunn had plenty of goat’s meat. With the pirates at the fort (堡垒) we could move to the safety of the cave and guard the money. I thought Jim was sure to be taken to the empty treasure pit (坑) with the pirates. So I left the squire and the captain guarding the cave, and arrived at the pit just in time. Gunn went ahead of me, as he could move fast, and he worked on the pirates fears by singing and calling out, with great success.” At the top of the beach, by Ben Gunn’s cave, we met the square. He was pleasant and kind to me, with no praise or blame. “John Silver,” he said, greeting Long John Silver, “you are a VILLAIN. They tell me I must charge you, and so I will not. But the men you have killed will hang around your neck like heavy stones.” “Thank you, sir,” said Long John Silver, saluting him. And then we entered the cave. It was a large, airy place, with a little spring and a sandy floor. By a big fire lay Captain Smollett, and, in the far corner, I could see piles of gold coins and bars of gold. That was Flint’s treasure which we came to Treasure Island to find, and which cost the lives of seventeen men from the Hispaniola. And so many others that it was impossible to say. 1．What does the underlined word “villain” mean? A．suspect B．criminal C．thief D．witness 2．Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Gunn frightened the pirates successfully. b. Gunn found the treasure and hid it. c. Jim saw the treasure in the cave. d. The doctor gave Silver the useless map and the supplies. e. The doctor arrived at the pit in time. A．bdaec B．bcdea C．dbcea D．dcbae 3．Which of the following sentences is TRUE? A．The doctor killed the pirates successfully.

But Bob Dylan’s place as one of the world’s greatest artistic figures was developed further on Thursday when he was named the surprise winner of the Nobel prize in literature “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition”. After the announcement, the secretary of the Swedish Academy, Sara Danius, said it had “not been a difficult decision” and she hoped the academy would not be attacked for its choice. “We hoped the news would be received with joy, but you never know,” she said, comparing the songs of the American songwriter to the works of Homer and Sappho. “We’re really giving it to Bob Dylan as a great poet — that’s the reason we awarded him the prize. He’s a great poet in the great English tradition, stretching from Milton and Blake onwards. And he’s a very interesting traditionalist, in a highly original way. Not just the written tradition, but also the oral one; not just high literature, but also low literature.” Though Dylan is considered by many to be a musician, not a writer, Danius said the artistic reach of his lyrics and poetry could not be put in a single box. “I came to realise that we still read Homer and Sappho from ancient Greece, and they were writing 2,500 years ago,” she said. “They were meant to be performed, often together with instruments, but they have survived, and survived incredibly well, on the book page. We enjoy their poetry, and I think Bob Dylan deserves to be read as a poet.” Not everyone was overjoyed by the announcement, however. Irvine Welsh, the author of Trainspotting, said that although he was a Dylan fan “this is an ill-conceived nostalgia (怀旧) award”. The novelist Hari Kunzru was equally doubtful (怀疑的). “This feels like the unconvincing Nobel win since they gave it to Obama for not being Bush,” he said. 1．What can we infer from Swedish Academy’s award decision? A．They praised musical creativity over literary traditions. B．They redefined literary works to include oral traditions. C．They changed artistic standards for political correctness. D．They separated lyrical composition from poetic achievement. 2．The comparison of Dylan’s songs to Homer and Sappho’s works mainly serves ________. A．to highlight the commercial success of modern songwriting B．to emphasize the academic recognition of oral traditions C．to contrast ancient poetry with modern musical forms D．to raise Dylan’s lyrical achievements to classical standards 3．The underlined word “ill-conceived” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ________. A．ill-treated B．greatly damaged C．poorly thought out D．ill-intended 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Bob Dylan’s music has inspired generations of musicians. B．Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize in Literature for his poetic songwriting. C．Bob Dylan’s award receives many praises from musicians. D．Bob Dylan’s lyrics are more popular than his music. （24-25高一下·广东广州·阶段练习）If you like to laugh your head off, don’t miss “Mark Twain Live”, starring Mike Randall. Luckily, it will make a much anticipated return. This year, Randall is celebrating his 50th year of performing in his one-man show that brings America’s greatest author and humorist to life.

Removing all the make-up is more time-consuming and painful. But he never complains and tries to do well in every performance. Audiences nationwide agree that watching “Mark Twain Live” is a delightful experience, which brings Randall much motivation. Randall is also brilliant in other areas.

Even as she won the Nobel Prize in 2013, Munro remained private and modest, and described her life in a small town in Ontario as ordinary, quiet and happy. Munro passed away in May 2013 at the age of 92. Ms. Munro was one of the few writers, who made their reputations in the challenging genre (体裁) of the short story, and did so with great success. Her stories, many of which focused on women at different stages of their lives dealing with complex emotions, attracted a whole new generation of readers. Ms. Munro’s stories were widely considered to be without equal, a mixture of ordinary people and extraordinary themes. She described small-town lives, often in rural southwestern Ontario, facing situations that mixed reality with strangeness. Some of her characters felt so fully developed that readers connected with them as if they were in a novel. A major theme in Munro’s work was the inner lives of women and girls. Her female characters often faced cruelty from men, yet their thoughts and quiet acts of defence exposed hidden strength. Munro once said that, in her childhood, girls were taught to “shrink (限制) their minds” to fit the limited roles society gave them. Her stories gave voice to those unspoken struggles. 1．What is the main purpose of the passage? A．To introduce Alice Munro’s life and literary achievements. B．To criticize Alice Munro’s writing style.

As is known to us all, before a war, stories might center on romance, family, or nature adventure. However, once war suddenly breaks out, the focus changes accordingly. Writers and storytellers begin to present the real emotions of fear, loss, and survival. The tone (语气) becomes darker and tends to examine inner feelings, as the characters struggle with hard choices, sufferings, and the uncertainty of life in the middle of destruction. Personally, I think war doesn’t just change how stories are told; it also changes what stories are told. Themes of heroism, common in pre-war literature, give way to themes of disappointment, loss of innocence, and the questioning of authority, making people aware of the real society in war literature. Both soldiers returning from war and other people often struggle to fit back into a society that no longer understands their experiences, which serves as a powerful theme in post-war literature. For example, in J.D．Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, the loneliness of Holden Caulfield can be seen as a reflection of post-World War II society, where many people including Holden Caulfield hated wars and felt isolated due to the horrors they had observed. Stories are not only a way to document history; they are also a way for people to process sufferings. War is disastrous, and for those who have lived through it, literature often becomes a tool for curing. Writing allows authors to process their pain, sadness, and confusion. For readers, stories about war offer a way to understand reality and they can find themselves relating to the struggles of others so that they can be inspired by those characters. 1．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A．The various reasons of war breakout. B．The bad outcomes of war expansion. C．The role of wars in literary revolution. D．The influence of wars on storytelling. 2．What kind of topic is a hit in war literature? A．Heroism. B．Romanticism. C．Realism. D．Collectivism. 3．What does the underlined word “isolated” mean in paragraph 3? A．Peaceful. B．Separated. C．Proud. D．Angry. 4．Why does literature become a tool for curing? A．It helps writers see positive sides. B．It makes readers ignore the reality. C．It well connects writers with readers. D．It serves both writers and readers well. 【答案】1．D 2．C 3．B 4．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕战争对叙事的影响展开论述，阐述了战争如何改变故事讲述的方式、内容，以及战争文学在反映社会现实、帮助人们处理痛苦等方面的作用。 1．主旨大意题。根据第二段中“However, once war suddenly breaks out, the focus changes accordingly. Writers and storytellers begin to present the real emotions of fear, loss, and survival. The tone (语气) becomes darker and tends to examine inner feelings, as the characters struggle with hard choices, sufferings, and the uncertainty of life in the middle of destruction.(然而，一旦战争突然爆发，关注点也会相应地发生变化。作家和讲故事的人开始展现恐惧、失落以及求生意志这些真实的情感。作品的基调变得更为沉重，并且倾向于深入探究人物的内心感受，因为这些人物在残酷的抉择、苦难以及身处毁灭之中的生活的不确定性中挣扎。)”可知，第二段主要讲的是战争对讲故事的影响。故选D项。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Personally, I think war doesn’t just change how stories are told; it also changes what stories are told. Themes of heroism, common in pre-war literature, give way to themes of disappointment, loss of innocence, and the questioning of authority, making people aware of the real society in war literature.(就我个人而言，我认为战争不仅改变了故事的讲述方式；它也改变了故事的内容。战前文学中常见的英雄主义主题让位于失望、失去纯真和对权威的质疑的主题，使人们意识到战争文学中的真实社会。)”可知，战前文学中常见的英雄主义主题让位于失望、失去纯真和对权威的质疑的主题，这些都属于现实主义主题，所以现实主义是战争文学中受欢迎的主题。故选C项。 3．词句猜测题。根据第三段中“For example, in J.D. Salinger’s The Catcher in the Rye, the loneliness of Holden Caulfield can be seen as a reflection of post-World War II society, where many people including Holden Caulfield hated wars and felt isolated due to the horrors they had observed.(例如，在J.D.塞林格的《麦田里的守望者》中，霍尔顿·考尔菲尔德的孤独可以看作是二战后社会的反映，包括霍尔顿·考尔菲尔德在内的许多人憎恨战争，并因为他们所目睹的恐怖而感到isolated。)”可知，在J.D.塞林格的《麦田里的守望者》中，霍尔顿·考尔菲尔德的孤独可以看作是二战后社会的反映，许多人憎恨战争，所以会感到孤独，感到与别人隔绝，所以划线词isolated意为“与别人隔绝的”，和B项Separated“分开的，隔绝的”意思相近。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“War is disastrous, and for those who have lived through it, literature often becomes a tool for curing. Writing allows authors to process their pain, sadness, and confusion. For readers, stories about war offer a way to understand reality and they can find themselves relating to the struggles of others so that they can be inspired by those characters.(战争是灾难性的，对于那些经历过战争的人来说，文学往往成为一种治疗工具。写作让作者能够处理他们的痛苦、悲伤和困惑。对于读者来说，关于战争的故事提供了一种理解现实的方式，他们可以发现自己与他人的斗争有关，这样他们就可以从这些角色身上获得灵感。)”可知，文学成为一种治疗工具是因为它对作家和读者都有好处。故选D项。 （24-25高一下·贵州黔西·阶段练习）“When I was 8, a doctor predicted that I wouldn’t live past 20. But now I’m here, at 29, happy with my life,” says Ma Jun, the youngest prize-winner of this year’s Junma Award for Ethnic Literature, one of China’s four major national literary prizes held every four years. Ma, who uses a wheelchair, was born in 1995 in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region. His first winning prose collection (散文集) Qing Bai Shijie (The Green and White Stone Steps), is divided into five parts, describing his life experiences: growing up, daily life, love and desire, emotions and reflections. In Chinese, qing bai suggests purity and innocence. In the opening chapter, he reminded his childhood when he couldn’t move or stand without help. While his peers ran and played, Ma could only sit on the stone steps, watching in frustration and sadness. Some people cruelly suggested his lack of mobility was “divine punishment (天谴)” for supposed wrongdoings. Through his writing, Ma hopes to counter such prejudice (偏见), showing that he is no different from anyone else. Shi Tiesheng’s best-seller Wo Yu Ditan (I and the Temple of Earth) changed Ma’s life. Shi, a renowned writer who also uses a wheelchair, had transformed his struggles into literature. Ma was struck by the realization that someone with similar struggles could find meaning and joy in life. He started a three-year journey of writing the book by recording his own life, pouring his heart and soul into the words. “Be a faithful writer.” It is now his life motto. Writing is not just a profession for Ma — it’s a lifeline, a way to connect with the world and leave behind a footprint of courage, sincerity and hope. 1．Why did Ma Jun use Qing Bai Shijie as the title of the prose collection? A．To counter prejudice against people with disabilities. B．To entertain readers with his life stories. C．To win literary awards easily.

D．Humorous and smart. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．B 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了今年骏马文学奖最年轻获奖者马骏的故事，他身残志坚，受史铁生影响写作，希望通过作品打破偏见。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段中“In the opening chapter, he reminded his childhood when he couldn’t move or stand without help. While his peers ran and played, Ma could only sit on the stone steps, watching in frustration and sadness. Some people cruelly suggested his lack of mobility was ‘divine punishment (天谴)’ for supposed wrongdoings. Through his writing, Ma hopes to counter such prejudice (偏见), showing that he is no different from anyone else. (在第一章中，他回忆起自己的童年，那时他没有帮助就无法移动或站立。当他的同龄人跑来跑去玩耍时，马只能坐在石阶上，沮丧而悲伤地看着。一些人残忍地认为，他行动不便是对所谓的错误行为的‘天谴’。通过他的写作，马骏希望反驳这种偏见，表明他和其他人没有什么不同)”可知，石阶象征着马骏童年的悲伤和受到的偏见，马骏以《青白石阶》作为自己散文集的标题，这一种抗争，表达了对那些残疾人士的偏见的反驳。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Shi, a renowned writer who also uses a wheelchair, had transformed his struggles into literature. (史铁生，一位同样使用轮椅的著名作家，将他的奋斗经历转化为了文学作品)”可知，史铁生也使用轮椅，并将他的奋斗转化成了文学，故B项是正确表述。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Writing is not just a profession for Ma — it’s a lifeline, a way to connect with the world and leave behind a footprint of courage, sincerity and hope. (写作对马骏来说不仅仅是一份职业——它是一条生命线，是一种与世界建立联系、留下勇气、真诚和希望印记的方式)”可知，写作对马骏的意义是一种与世界建立联系并留下印记的方式。故选B项。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段中“When I was 8, a doctor predicted that I wouldn’t live past 20. But now I’m here, at 29, happy with my life, (当我8岁的时候，一位医生预测我活不过20岁。但现在我29岁了，对自己的生活很满意)”以及全文马骏克服身体残疾坚持写作等内容可推知，马骏是坚强且乐观的。故选B项。 （24-25高一下·江苏苏州·阶段练习）As we walked slowly downhill to the boats, the doctor told us the story. “Two months ago,” he began, “Ben found the treasure and dug it up. He carried it on his back, in many tiring journeys, from under the pine tree to a cave he found. That’s when we arrived on the Hispaniola.” “I went to meet Gunn on the afternoon of the attack,” continued the doctor. “Then, when I couldn’t see the ship anymore, I visited Silver. I gave him the useless map and the supplies as Ben Gunn had plenty of goat’s meat. With the pirates at the fort (堡垒) we could move to the safety of the cave and guard the money. I thought Jim was sure to be taken to the empty treasure pit (坑) with the pirates. So I left the squire and the captain guarding the cave, and arrived at the pit just in time. Gunn went ahead of me, as he could move fast, and he worked on the pirates fears by singing and calling out, with great success.” At the top of the beach, by Ben Gunn’s cave, we met the square. He was pleasant and kind to me, with no praise or blame. “John Silver,” he said, greeting Long John Silver, “you are a VILLAIN. They tell me I must charge you, and so I will not. But the men you have killed will hang around your neck like heavy stones.” “Thank you, sir,” said Long John Silver, saluting him. And then we entered the cave. It was a large, airy place, with a little spring and a sandy floor. By a big fire lay Captain Smollett, and, in the far corner, I could see piles of gold coins and bars of gold. That was Flint’s treasure which we came to Treasure Island to find, and which cost the lives of seventeen men from the Hispaniola. And so many others that it was impossible to say. 1．What does the underlined word “villain” mean? A．suspect B．criminal C．thief D．witness 2．Which of the following is the correct order of the story? a. Gunn frightened the pirates successfully. b. Gunn found the treasure and hid it. c. Jim saw the treasure in the cave. d. The doctor gave Silver the useless map and the supplies. e. The doctor arrived at the pit in time. A．bdaec B．bcdea C．dbcea D．dcbae 3．Which of the following sentences is TRUE? A．The doctor killed the pirates successfully. B．Silver would be charged by the square. C．The squire met Gunn on the afternoon of the attack. D．Over seventeen people died because of the treasure. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．D 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章节选自《金银岛》，以医生的口吻讲述了寻找宝藏期间发生的故事。 1．词句猜测题。根据下文“They tell me I must charge you, and so I will not. But the men you have killed will hang around your neck like heavy stones.(他们告诉我必须控告你，但我不会这么做。但你杀死的那些人，会像沉重的石头一样挂在你的脖子上)”可知，捏人告诉乡绅必须要控告Long John Silver，因此推理出Long John Silver是犯了罪的，由此可知，villain意为“罪犯”。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段““Two months ago,” he began, “Ben found the treasure and dug it up. He carried it on his back, in many tiring journeys, from under the pine tree to a cave he found. That’s when we arrived on the Hispaniola.(“两个月前，”他开始了，“本找到了宝藏并挖了出来。他背着它，经过许多疲惫的旅程，从松树底下走到他发现的一个山洞里。那时我们刚到伊斯帕尼奥拉号上。”)”和“I gave him the useless map and the supplies as Ben Gunn had plenty of goat’s meat.(我把那张没用的地图和补给品给了他，因为本•冈恩有很多山羊肉。)”可知，先是Gunn发现了宝藏并藏了起来，然后是医生给了Silver一张无用的地图和补给品，所以bd应排在前面，故排除选项C和选项D；根据第二段“Gunn went ahead of me, as he could move fast, and he worked on the pirates fears by singing and calling out, with great success.(Gunn走在我前面，因为他走得很快，他通过唱歌和大声喊叫来对付海盗的恐惧，取得了巨大的成功)”和最后一段“And then we entered the cave. It was a large, airy place, with a little spring and a sandy floor. By a big fire lay Captain Smollett, and, in the far corner, I could see piles of gold coins and bars of gold.(然后我们进了山洞。这是一个宽敞、通风的地方，有一个小泉，地板是沙子。斯莫列特船长躺在一堆大火旁，在远处的角落里，我可以看到成堆的金币和金条)”可知，先是Gunn成功地吓唬了海盗，然后Jim在山洞里看到了宝藏，最后医生及时赶到了坑边救下了Jim，所以aec应排在后面，故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“That was Flint’s treasure which we came to Treasure Island to find, and which cost the lives of seventeen men from the Hispaniola. And so many others that it was impossible to say.(那是我们远赴金银岛寻找的弗林特宝藏，它让伊斯班袅拉号上的十七条汉子丢了性命，还有无数其他人也因此丧生，具体数目已无法计算)”可知，因为宝藏，有超过十七人死亡。故选D。 （24-25高一下·福建福州·阶段练习）For more than six decades Bob Dylan has remained a mythical force in music, his deep voice and poetic lyrics (歌词) reflecting over war, heartbreak, and death in songs that brought beauty to life’s greatest tragedies (悲剧). But Bob Dylan’s place as one of the world’s greatest artistic figures was developed further on Thursday when he was named the surprise winner of the Nobel prize in literature “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition”. After the announcement, the secretary of the Swedish Academy, Sara Danius, said it had “not been a difficult decision” and she hoped the academy would not be attacked for its choice. “We hoped the news would be received with joy, but you never know,” she said, comparing the songs of the American songwriter to the works of Homer and Sappho. “We’re really giving it to Bob Dylan as a great poet — that’s the reason we awarded him the prize. He’s a great poet in the great English tradition, stretching from Milton and Blake onwards. And he’s a very interesting traditionalist, in a highly original way. Not just the written tradition, but also the oral one; not just high literature, but also low literature.” Though Dylan is considered by many to be a musician, not a writer, Danius said the artistic reach of his lyrics and poetry could not be put in a single box. “I came to realise that we still read Homer and Sappho from ancient Greece, and they were writing 2,500 years ago,” she said. “They were meant to be performed, often together with instruments, but they have survived, and survived incredibly well, on the book page. We enjoy their poetry, and I think Bob Dylan deserves to be read as a poet.” Not everyone was overjoyed by the announcement, however. Irvine Welsh, the author of Trainspotting, said that although he was a Dylan fan “this is an ill-conceived nostalgia (怀旧) award”. The novelist Hari Kunzru was equally doubtful (怀疑的). “This feels like the unconvincing Nobel win since they gave it to Obama for not being Bush,” he said. 1．What can we infer from Swedish Academy’s award decision? A．They praised musical creativity over literary traditions. B．They redefined literary works to include oral traditions. C．They changed artistic standards for political correctness. D．They separated lyrical composition from poetic achievement. 2．The comparison of Dylan’s songs to Homer and Sappho’s works mainly serves ________. A．to highlight the commercial success of modern songwriting B．to emphasize the academic recognition of oral traditions C．to contrast ancient poetry with modern musical forms D．to raise Dylan’s lyrical achievements to classical standards 3．The underlined word “ill-conceived” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ________. A．ill-treated B．greatly damaged C．poorly thought out D．ill-intended 4．What is the main idea of the passage? A．Bob Dylan’s music has inspired generations of musicians. B．Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize in Literature for his poetic songwriting. C．Bob Dylan’s award receives many praises from musicians. D．Bob Dylan’s lyrics are more popular than his music. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要介绍了鲍勃·迪伦因其在歌曲创作中融入深刻诗意表达而获得诺贝尔文学奖，讨论了这一决定的意义、支持者和批评者的观点。 1．推理判断题。根据第三段“We’re really giving it to Bob Dylan as a great poet — that’s the reason we awarded him the prize. He’s a great poet in the great English tradition, stretching from Milton and Blake onwards. And he’s a very interesting traditionalist, in a highly original way. Not just the written tradition, but also the oral one; not just high literature, but also low literature.(我们真的把它授予鲍勃·迪伦，将其作为一位伟大的诗人——这就是我们授予他的原因。他是英国伟大传统中的一位伟大诗人，从弥尔顿和布莱克开始。他是一位非常有趣的传统主义者，以一种极具原创性的方式。不仅是书面传统，还有口头传统；不仅是高级文学，还有低级文学)”可推测，他们以一种极具原创性的方式，重新定义了书面传统的文学作品，并且将口头传统也包括在内。故选B。 2．推理判断题。根据第四段““I came to realise that we still read Homer and Sappho from ancient Greece, and they were writing 2,500 years ago,” she said. “They were meant to be performed, often together with instruments, but they have survived, and survived incredibly well, on the book page. We enjoy their poetry, and I think Bob Dylan deserves to be read as a poet.”(她说：“我开始意识到，我们仍然在读古希腊的荷马和萨福，他们是2500年前写的。”。“它们本应被演奏，通常与乐器一起演奏，但它们在书页上幸存下来，而且幸存得非常好。我们喜欢它们的诗歌，我认为鲍勃·迪伦值得作为诗人阅读。”)”可知，将迪伦的歌曲与荷马和萨福的作品进行比较，这是为了强调Dylan的歌词成就应与2500年前的古典标准相提并论。故选D。 3．词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Not everyone was overjoyed by the announcement, however. Irvine Welsh, the author of Trainspotting, said that although he was a Dylan fan “this is an ill-conceived nostalgia (怀旧) award”. The novelist Hari Kunzru was equally doubtful (怀疑的). “This feels like the unconvincing Nobel win since they gave it to Obama for not being Bush,” he said.(然而，并不是每个人都对这一宣布感到高兴。《猜火车》的作者Irvine Welsh表示，尽管他是迪伦的粉丝，但“这是一个ill-conceived的怀旧奖”。小说家哈里·昆兹鲁同样持怀疑态度。他说：“这感觉就像是一个不令人信服的诺贝尔奖，因为他们把它给了奥巴马，因为他不是布什。”)”可知，有人对这一颁奖结果持怀疑态度，认为这是不令人信服的，推测划线单词表示“考虑不周的”，与poorly thought out意义相近。故选C。 4．主旨大意题。根据第二段“But Bob Dylan’s place as one of the world’s greatest artistic figures was developed further on Thursday when he was named the surprise winner of the Nobel prize in literature “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition”.(但鲍勃·迪伦作为世界上最伟大的艺术人物之一的地位在周四得到了进一步的发展，他因“在伟大的美国歌曲传统中创造了新的诗意表达”而被授予诺贝尔文学奖)”可知，本文主要介绍了鲍勃·迪伦因其在歌曲创作中融入深刻诗意表达而获得诺贝尔文学奖，讨论了这一决定的意义、支持者和批评者的观点。因此，文章的主旨是关于鲍勃·迪伦因他的诗意歌曲写作赢得了诺贝尔文学奖。故选B。 （24-25高一下·广东广州·阶段练习）If you like to laugh your head off, don’t miss “Mark Twain Live”, starring Mike Randall. Luckily, it will make a much anticipated return. This year, Randall is celebrating his 50th year of performing in his one-man show that brings America’s greatest author and humorist to life. The bond between Mike Randall (born in 1953) and Mark Twain began when Randall started playing Mark Twain at the age of 17. At age 20, he performed at the State Department in Washington, D．C．, where John F. Kennedy gave his State of the Union address. And one year later, he brought his interpretation of the “Celebrated Humorist” to New York City. Randall is the only Mark Twain impersonator (扮演者) to be formally acknowledged by the Daughters of the American Revolution for his impressive performance and the only Mark Twain actor to be a member of the famous National Speakers Association. “Mark Twain Live” is supported by the Mark Twain Museum of Buffalo. Randall is also the “official Mark Twain” of the Huck Finn Jubilee (an annual event), and the Annual Mark Twain Birthday Bash and Symposium. In five decades of “being” Mark Twain, Randall has given more than 2,000 performances. To transform himself into Twain, Randall needs to spend over three hours at the make-up table. Removing all the make-up is more time-consuming and painful. But he never complains and tries to do well in every performance. Audiences nationwide agree that watching “Mark Twain Live” is a delightful experience, which brings Randall much motivation. Randall is also brilliant in other areas. He recalled the person that was supposed to report the weather called in sick, so the director of WKBW-TV (a TV station in Buffalo) insisted he do it. “I have no choice but to accept the challenge,” Randall said. Afterwards, he signed a long-term contract with WKBW-TV. To do his job better, he received the approval from the National Weather Association. Also as an award-winning dramatist, Randall’s dramas have been produced at Buffalo’s Alleyway Theatre. 1．What effect would “Mark Twain Live” have on audiences?

Randall is also the “official Mark Twain” of the Huck Finn Jubilee (an annual event), and the Annual Mark Twain Birthday Bash and Symposium(兰德尔是唯一一位因其令人印象深刻的表演而被美国革命女儿会正式认可的马克・吐温扮演者，也是唯一一位成为著名全国演讲者协会成员的马克・吐温演员。“马克・吐温现场秀”得到了布法罗马克・吐温博物馆的支持。兰德尔也是哈克・费恩庆典（一年一度的活动）以及年度马克・吐温生日派对和研讨会的“官方马克・吐温”)”可知，这些组织和活动都具有一定的权威性和影响力，可推理出提到兰德尔与它们的联系，是为了突出他在艺术领域的声誉。故选A项。 4．推理判断题。根据第四段“To transform himself into Twain, Randall needs to spend over three hours at the make-up table. Removing all the make-up is more time-consuming and painful. But he never complains and tries to do well in every performance(为了把自己变成马克・吐温，兰德尔需要在化妆台前花费三个多小时。卸妆更耗时、更痛苦。但他从不抱怨，努力在每一场表演中都表现出色)”，可以看出他对表演很投入、很有责任心；再根据最后一段“Randall is also brilliant in other areas.

In 1969, Ye moved to Vancouver, Canada, where she became a life-long professor at the University of British Columbia. Starting in 1979, she returned to the Chinese mainland each year to give lectures. She held visiting or honorary professorships at several universities and research institutions, including Peking University, Nankai University, Beijing Normal University. In 1991, she was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada and served as a visiting professor at well-known universities such as Harvard, Yale, and Columbia University. In 1993, she founded the Institute of Comparative Literature at Nankai University and served as its director. In 2007, she began to settle at Nankai University. On November 24, 2024, this huge literature star passed away in the northern Chinese city of Tianjin. Ye’s death is a significant loss for Nankai University, the Chinese education and academic community, and international cultural exchanges. She dedicated seven decades to the research, teaching and promotion of classical Chinese poetry in China and beyond. She was the teacher of many famous Chinese literary masters. Combining her deep understanding of Chinese classical studies, and extensive knowledge of Western scholarship, Ye developed a unique poetry system centered on the concept of “emotional resonance”.
