    Published in 1896 and one of the most memorable horror stories ever written, Dracula, by Irish writer Bram Stoker,is the story of a vampire（吸血鬼）,someone who lives on human blood. Stoker wrote the book after reading stories about Central European vampires and set his novel in Transylvania. Even today,there are readers of the book who believe that Transylvania is a mythical（神话的）country,a figment（虚构）of Stoker’s imagination. Nothing could be further from the truth. Transylvania is part of modern-day Central European country Romania,and the country does indeed have a history of mythological vampires.
    However,Romanians are always puzzled by the description of the novel’s central character, Count Dracula,a tall,elegant aristocrat（贵族）with impeccable（完美的）manners who also happens to speak very good English. This is a world away from the images of vampires that they have grown up with. Romanian vampires are half-human creatures who live solitary lives in the forests,not aristocrats living in castles with well-stocked libraries.
    So where did Stoke get the image for his Dracula? The answer becomes clearer when one learns of his relationship with a man called Henry Irving,the greatest British stage actor of his time.
    Stoker was working as a civil servant in his home city of Dublin when he first met Irving. Bored with his tedious life and work, Stoker took every opportunity to visit the theatre and for a while was the drama critic for the Dublin Evening Mail. One of the reviews he wrote was of a performance of Shakespeare’s play Hamlet,with Irving in the lead role.
    Irving was so pleased with Stoker’s review of his performance that he asked to meet him. Stoker couldn’t believe his luck when one night,he was invited to a dinner party where Irving was the guest of honour. Irving entertained the assembled dinner guests with some renditions（表演）of famous poems and speeches from Shakespeare.
    Stoker was already writing the first chapters of Dracula and began to base the central character on Irving,in the vain hope that if it ever became a stage play, Irving would play the central character. Sadly,Irving never did,but the two men became close friends,and in 1878 Stoker left the civil service and became Irving’s manager in London.
    【小题1】Bram Stoker set his novel in Transylvania because       .

    A．it is in modern-day Romania
    B．Transylvania is a mythical country
    C．he wanted to tell a true story
    D．he had read stories about vampires from the area
    【小题2】The central character of the novel       .
    A．is very similar to the vampires that Romanians know about
    B．Is completely different from the vampires Romanians know about
    C．Has impeccable manners,like a real Romanian vampire
    D．Is puzzled by the comparison with Romanian vampires
    【小题3】What was Stoker’s hope?
    A．That the book would become a stage-play.
    B．That Irving would play the central character in the stage play.
    C．That he could live in London.
    D．That Irving would work for him.

    The modern Olympic Games, founded in 1896, began as contests between individuals, rather than among nations, with the hope of promoting world peace through sportsmanship. In the beginning, the games were open only to amateurs. An amateur is a person whose involvement in an activity---from sports to science or the arts---is purely for pleasure. Amateurs, whatever their contributions to a field, expect to receive no form of compensation ; professionals, in contrast, perform their work in order to earn a living.
    From the perspective of many athletes, however, the Olympic playing field has been far from level. Restricting the Olympics to amateurs has precluded（妨碍） the participation of many who could not afford to be unpaid. Countries have always desired to send their best athletes, not their wealthiest ones, to the Olympic Games.
    A slender and imprecise line separates what we call “financial support” from “earning money.” Do athletes “earn money” if they are reimbursed（补偿） for travel expenses? What if they are paid for time lost at work or if they accept free clothing from a manufacturer or if they teach sports for a living? The runner Eric Liddell was the son of poor missionaries; in 1924 the British Olympic Committee financed his trip to the Olympics, where he won a gold and a bronze medal. College scholarships and support from the United States Olympic Committee made it possible for American track stars Jesse Owens and Wilma Rudolph and speed skater Dan Jansen to train and compete. When the Soviet Union and its allies joined the games in 1952, the definition of amateur became still muddier. Their athletes did not have to balance jobs and training because as citizens in communist regimes, their government financial support was not considered payment for jobs.
    In 1971 the International Olympic Committee(IOC) removed the word amateur from the rules, making it easier for athletes to find the support necessary to train and compete. In 1986 the IOC allowed professional athletes into the games.
    There are those who regret the disappearance of amateurism from the Olympic Games. For them the games lost something special when they became just another way for athletes to earn money. Others say that the designation of amateurism was always questionable; they argue that all competitors receive so much financial support as to make them paid professionals. Most agree, however, that the debate over what constitutes an “amateur” will continue for a long time.
    【小题1】 One might infer that _______________________.

    A．developing Olympic-level skills in athletes is costly
    B．professional athletes are mostly interested in financial rewards
    C．amateurs does not expect to earn money at the sport that is played
    D．amateurs have a better attitude than professionals do
    【小题2】 The statement “the Olympic playing field has been far from level” means that__________.
    A．the ground the athletes played on was in bad condition
    B．the poorer players were given some advantages
    C．the rules did not work the same way for everyone
    D．amateurs were inferior to the professionals in many ways
    【小题3】 The financial support given to athletes by the Soviet government can best be compared to ________________.
    A．a gift received on a special occasion, such as a birthday
    B．money received from a winning lottery ticket
    C．an allowance paid to a child
    D．money from charity organization
    【小题4】 One can conclude that the Olympic Organizing Committee _________________.
    A．has held firm to its original vision of the Olympic games
    B．has struggled with the definition of amateur over the years
    C．regards itself as an organization for professional athletes only
    D．did nothing but stop allowing communists to participate

    For a writer, there is hardly any greater honor than winning the Nobel Prize for literature.

    And for a woman writer, claiming the prize is even harder, for only eight women once won it. Austria’s Elfriede Jelinek is the ninth and the first since 1996.

    The Stockholm-based Swedish Academy announced last Thursday that Jelinek won this year’s Nobel Prize in literature. She is recognized for her socially critical(批判的) novels and plays.

    Jelinek, 57, made her literary debut (初次露面) in 1967. She has written plays, novels and poetry. She is best known for her autobiographical 1983 novel “The Piano Teacher”, made into a movie in 2001.

    The basic theme of her work is the inability of women to live as people beyond the roles and personalities traditionally expected of them. Her characters struggle to lead lives not normally acceptable in society. “The nature of Jelinek’s texts is often hard to define. They shift between prose(散文) and poetry and songs, they contain theatrical scenes and film script,” said the academy.

    The Nobel Prize was founded by Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel. Nobel died in 1896 and left his fortune of about US $920 million to a fund to honor people who have helped other human beings. This year each prize is worth US $13 million.

    1. The underlined word “them” in the last second paragraph refers to _______.

    A．roles

    B．people

    C．texts

    D．women

    2.Elfrede Jelinek won the Nobel Prize just because _______.

    A．she was an Austrian woman writer

    B．she wrote socially critical novels and plays

    C．her novel “The Piano Teacher” was made into a movie

    D．the nature of her texts is hard to define.

    3. Which of the following about the Nobel Prize is TRUE?

    A．It is harder for a woman writer to win than a man writer.

    B．The total prize every year was $920 million.

    C．Women writers were not awarded until 1996.

    D．Only eight women writers won the prize since 1996.

    4.This passage is most likely taken from _______.

    A．a travel magazine

    B．a history book

    C．a newspaper

    D．an advertisement

    People have been burying the dead at Salem’s Hope Cemetery since 1833. The place is filled with old gravestones and gothic mausoleums(哥特式陵墓), the spirits of the dead hanging over the land like an early morning fog.
    Keeping watch, a few steps from the road with her skirt over the pedestal (基座), is Goldie Belle Taylor, her face weathered but otherwise in good condition. On this day, she is holding a bunch of pink rises because Goldie Belle always holds flowers. Someone makes sure of that.
    “And she has had fresh flowers in her hands for the last 150 years.” Karen Biery lives in Damascus, about five miles west of Hope Cemetery. She’s written a book based on the legend of Goldie Belle Taylor titled Believe. In 1886, at the age of two, young Goldie Belle used her hands to sop up (抹去) the left over elderberry juice from her father’s iron kettle. She died not long after from poisoning. She was the love of her dad’s life, and he was so upset that he sold the family farm to buy the Italian made statue, which today marks her grave.
    At first, it was her father who brought the flowers and laid them in her hands. When he died in 1896, the flowers kept coming. Her flowers are different per season. Why do the flowers keep miraculously appearing? People have tried to find out by having camped by the statue, but not even the groundskeepers have been able to catch the criminal.
