Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Bob Dylan has won the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature，announced Sara Danius，Swedish Academy's permanent secretary，on Thursday in Stockholm. The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2016 is awarded to Bob Dylan “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition，” Danius said at the Swedish Academy. “As an artist，he is versatile；he has been active as painter，actor and scriptwriter，” said the official statement. Apart from his large production of albums，Dylan has published experimental work.He has written the autobiography Chronicles(2004)，which describes memories from the early years in New York and his life at the center of popular culture，it added. Born on May 24,1941 in Duluth，Minnesota，in the United States，the 75­year­old rock singer is the first songwriter to win the glorious award and the first American to win since novelist Toni Morrison in 1993. Barack Obama said the honour was well­deserved.“Congratulations to one of my favourite poets，” he wrote on Twitter. Dylan，who took his stage name from the poet Dylan Thomas，had long been regarded as a potential prize winner. Former Poet Laureate Sir Andrew Motion is among those who have ever praised Dylan's lyrics，saying they are often the best words in the best order. Dylan began his musical career in Minnesota before heading for New York.Many of his best­known works date from the 1960s，when he became an informal historian of America's troubles.His songs Blowing in the Wind and The Times They are A­Changing were popular in the anti­war and civil rights movements. Few experts，though，expected the academy to extend the award to a folk music songwriter.In 112 years，no songwriter has ever won before.What makes a man who has only ever written three books a suitable winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature? [语篇解读]　这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述著名民谣音乐家鲍勃·迪伦于2016年获得诺贝尔文学奖，成为第一个获此奖的作曲家，并获得多方赞誉。 1．What does the underlined word in Para.3 mean?

A．Dylan's winning the Nobel Prize in Literature. B．Dylan's life experiences as an artist. C．Dylan's contribution to the American literature. D．Dylan's musical career in America. 解析　主旨大意题。本文围绕鲍勃·迪伦获诺贝尔文学奖展开，讲述各方对其作品的评价。文章并未对其生平经历、音乐生涯或贡献过多着墨，因而A最准确，抓住了文章主旨。 答案　A B I am an active playgoer and play­reader，and perhaps my best reason for editing this book is a hope of sharing my enthusiasm for the theater with others.To do this I have searched through dozens of plays to find the ones that I think best show the power and purpose of the short play. Each play has a theme or central idea which the playwright hopes to get across through dialogue and action.A few characters are used to create a single impression growing out of the theme.It is not my intention to point out the central theme of each of the plays in this collection，for that would，indeed，ruin the pleasure of reading，discussing，and thinking about the plays and the effectiveness of the playwright.However，a variety of types is represented here.These include comedy，satire，poignant drama，historical and regional drama.To show the versatility(多面性) of the short play，I have included a guidance play，a radio play and a television play. Among the writers of the plays in this collection，Paul Green，Susan Glaspell，Maxwell Anderson，Thornton Wilder，William Saroyan，and Tennessee Williams have all received Pulitzer Prizes for their contributions to the theater.More information about the playwrights will be found at the end of this book. To get the most out of reading these plays，try to picture the play on stage，with you，the reader，in the audience.The houselights dim(变暗)．The curtains are about to open，and in a few minutes the action and dialogue will tell you the story.

E．Cultural awareness can begin by holding up a mirror. F．Our differences make the world endlessly interesting. G．However，as we get older our understanding of the world grows with us. [语篇解读]　这是一篇议论文。本文论述了人的文化意识受到历史、传统、教育和父母的影响，并无优劣之分，当今社会，人们要学会尊重和欣赏彼此的文化意识和生活方式。 1．E　根据下文“we need to take a long，hard look at ourselves.What makes us the way we are？Well，there's history，tradition，education，and our parents.(我们需要好好审视自己。是什么造就了我们现在的样子？是历史、传统、教育，还有我们的父母。)”可知，作者认为，要想了解自己的文化意识，还得审视自身所受到了怎样的历史、传统和教育，以及父母对自己有哪些影响。因此，E选项“Cultural awareness can begin by holding up a mirror.(文化意识可以从举起一面镜子开始。)”切题，该选项中的“holding up a mirror”与“look at ourselves”相呼应，故选E。 2．A　根据上一句“But do any of them make us better than others？No.(但是他们中的任何一个会让我们比其他人更好吗？不。)”以及下一句“It's easy to understand why we start off believing that our culture is better than any other.(很容易理解为什么我们一开始就认为我们的文化比其他任何文化都好。)”可知，结合上文，作者认为不同的历史背景，传统、教育及父母造就了人们之间不同的文化意识，此处又提出了疑问并回答，并不是哪一个文化意识会让我们比其他人更好。因此，A选项“Not better，but different.(不是更好，而是不同。)”切题，该选项承上启下，表达的意思是，并不是哪一个文化意识更好，只是不同而已，且该选项中的“Not”与上文中的“No”相呼应。故选A。 3．G　根据上一句“As children，we typically build our view of the world from our family and the place we grow up.(作为孩子，我们通常从家庭和成长的地方建立我们对世界的看法。)”可知，孩子是从家庭和成长环境建立起自己对世界的看法，这个看法会随着年龄的增长而变化。因此，G选项“However，as we get older our understanding of the world grows with us.(然而，随着年龄的增长，我们对世界的理解也与日俱增。) ”切题，选项中的“grow up”与上一句中的“get older”相呼应。故选G。 4．C　根据上一句“They could all spend their days happily believing that the life they knew was the best，that their way of doing things was the right way，and not imagining or caring what others might think.(他们可以快乐地度过每一天，相信他们知道的生活是最好的，他们做事的方式是正确的，而不是去想象或关心别人会怎么想。)”及下一句“We do business with people from different cultures，selling each other products and ideas.We learn each other's languages.(我们与来自不同文化背景的人做生意，互相销售产品和创意。我们互相学习语言。)”可知，在过去，人们生活环境相对封闭，他们自认为自己的生活方式以及做事方式都是正确的，而在当今社会，不同文化背景的人可以互相做生意。因此，C项“Today's world isn't like that though.(但今天的世界并不是这样。)”切题，该选项承上启下，选项中的“isn't like”与下文中的“different”相呼应。故选C。 5．B　根据上一句“We do business with people from different cultures，selling each other products and ideas.We learn each other's languages.(我们与来自不同文化背景的人做生意，互相销售产品和创意。我们互相学习语言。) ”以及下文“So we all need to learn to appreciate each other's cultures and ways of living.(所以我们都需要学会欣赏彼此的文化和生活方式。)”可知，当今世界，不同文化背景的人之间做生意，学习对方的语言。该空的下一句又总结到：我们需要学会欣赏彼此的文化和生活方式，可推知，该空作者列举的另一种欣赏彼此文化的方式。因此，B选项“We listen to each other's music.(我们听对方的音乐。)”切题，听彼此的音乐也是欣赏对方文化的一种方式。故选B。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
