阅读理解。

The 2014 Nobel Prize in Literature went to the French novelist “for the art of memory” with which he has “uncovered the life?world of the occupation”.

Although the 69?year?old writer is a very popular literary figure in France, he is little known elsewhere.

So who is this Patrick Modiano, why does his memory have such an influence upon him, and what exactly has he uncovered?

Modiano was born in a suburb of Paris right after World War Ⅱ ended in Europe in July 1945.His father was a Jewish?Italian businessman who met his Belgian actress mother during the Nazi occupation of Paris.

As The New Yorker magazine put it, Europeans born in 1945 share a condition—They escaped the war, but “not the taint(污点) of the war”.

Modiano's life has been influenced by Nazi Germany's occupation during the war, and his family's connections to it.According to New York?based newspaper Forward, his father survived the war dishonorably.When Paris' Jews were brought together to be sent to concentration camps, the businessman did not join them but spent the time making money from deals with Nazis on the black market.

“The novelist has a duty to record the lives of the people who have disappeared, the people who were made to disappear,” French writer Clemence Boulouque, also an expert in Jewish studies, told The New Yorker magazine.

In his more than three dozen novels, Modiano has returned again and again to the same themes:Jewishness, the Nazi occupation, and loss of identity.His characters collect pieces of old evidence, handwriting, photographs, police files, and newspaper cuttings.

His most admired novel,Missing Person, is a good example.It's the story about a detective who has lost his memory.He tries to find out who he really is by following his own steps through history.

Although Modiano's win is a surprise outside France, people are celebrating in his home country.Modiano is the 15th French literature winner.After Le Clezio's 2008 win, it seemed unlikely that there would be another so soon.

1.The passage is mainly about ________.

A.a literary figure's personal affairs

B.a famous novelist's family background

C.a Nobel Prize winner and his literary achievement

D.European people's sufferings during World War Ⅱ

2.Which of the following statements about Patrick Modiano is TRUE according to the passage?

A.He is a survivor of World War Ⅱ.

B.He tried to find back his lost identity.

C.World War Ⅱ has an impact on his life.

D.He was world?famous before winning the Nobel Prize.

3.Modiano won the Nobel Prize because of ________.

A.his extraordinary character

B.his unique way of recording history

C.his characters' unusual experiences

D.his special connections to the war

4.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A.Modiano's parents were sent to the concentration camp

B.Modiano's winning the Prize was beyond expectation

C.Modiano's father had nothing to do with the Nazis

D.Clemence Boulouque is also of Jewish origin

阅读下面短文, 从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch (大牧场) in San Isidro. He lets me use his house to hold events to raise money for youth at risk programs.

The last time I was there he greeted me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let you use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of a poor horse trainer who would go from stable (马厩) to stable, farm to farm, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school was continually interrupted (打断). One day in the last year of high school, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to do when he grew up.

“He wrote a seven-page paper about his goal of owning a horse ranch in great detail. He put a great deal of his heart into the project and even drew a detailed floor plan for the dream ranch. Then the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. But he got a low mark with a note that read, ‘See me after class.’

“The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, ‘Why did I receive a low mark?’”

“The teacher said, ‘This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from a poor family. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. There’s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, ‘If you will rewrite this paper, I will reconsider your mark.’

“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’

“Finally, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He wrote, ‘You can keep the low mark and I’ll keep my dream.’”

1.Which of the following statements is TRUE about Monty Roberts?

A. He was born in a poor family.

B. He received a good education.

C. He is raising money for the poor.

D. He is a horse trainer who owns a big ranch.

2.From Paragraph 3, we know Monty Roberts _____.

A. was just a daydreamer

B. decided to follow his father’s example

C. expected the teacher to praise him

D. had a great plan for his future

3.The teacher thought Monty Roberts’s dream was _____.

A. strange B. great

C. pleasant D. impossible

4.From the end of the text, we can infer that Monty Roberts was very _____.

A. careful B. clever

C. determined D. active

Based on new analysis, we are rapidly approaching major climate change and the effects on society and the environment could be quite severe.Geographers predict that within the next eighty years, current world climate zones could shift and some could completely disappear.Polar regions will get colder while tropical regions will get even hotter,forcing animals to migrate(迁徙) north.

Climate changes like these could lead to the spread of diseases.Tropical storms and hurricanes will not only increase but may also become more intense.If the changes come too quickly, animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.

According to Science Daily, a new study predicts that by the year 2100,many of today's familiar climates will be replaced by climates unknown in today's world.It is urgent that we reduce the risks of these far?reaching consequences for the whole world.The planet itself has been showing signs of change.In 2004, a serious tsunami created by a major earthquake killed thousands in Sumatra and in 2008, thousands died in China because of another severe earthquake.Egypt was hit in 2009 with a major earthquake and Haiti was devastated in 2010 by yet another massive earthquake.

Within just the last few months, new reports from around the world have been coming in and most agree that our climate situation is much worse than previously thought.At this point, it doesn't matter what is causing it, but rather, what can be done about it.What's more, our world is getting more and more unstable every year.There is war and threat of war everywhere.Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.

However, other planets are experiencing global warming as well as our own and some scientists believe there may be some connection between this.No one knows anything for sure at this point because there is simply not enough data.

D.To state how climate changes.

2.What is the author's purpose in using the examples of earthquakes?

A.To show major changes are taking place on the planet.

B.To remind people to prevent future earthquakes.

C.To show the damage earthquakes caused.

D.To tell us more earthquakes will happen in the future.

3.Which of the following is NOT true of climate changes' effects?

A.Animal and plant species may not be able to adapt fast enough and could disappear.

B.It could lead to the spread of diseases.

C.Current world climate zones could shift and completely disappear.

D.Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and serious.

4.What can be inferred from the passage?

A.Animals and plants won't die out as long as climate changes slowly.

Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States,yet she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies.As she once said to herself:" I would never sit back in a rocking chair,waiting for someone to help me." No one could have had a more productive old age.

She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State,one of five boys and five girls.At twelve she left home and was in domestic service until,at twenty-seven,she married Thomas Moses,the hired hand of one of her employers.They farmed most of their lives,first in Virginia and then in New York State,at Eagle Bridge.She had ten children,of whom five survived;her husband died in 1927.

Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby,but only changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time.Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought everything she painted.Three of the pictures exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art,and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York.Between the 1930's and her death,she produced some 2,000 pictures:detailed and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long,with a wonderful sense of color and form."I think really hard till I think of something really pretty,and then I paint it" she said.
