The Maldivesplan to relocate peopleCTheres a well-known story in the world of literary translators about the translator who was thrilled to se
27、e his work appear at great length in an article in a popular magazine. He had translated many novels by a little-known Scandinavian novelist, who he believed had been ignored and not received the attention or praise the novelist deserved. He had devoted much time to trying to get this novelist some
28、recognition. The article agreed with his assessment of the novelists works mentioning long passages from his translations.But something was missing. The translator searched in vain for a mention of his name. It didnt appear anywhere. The translators joy at the coverage （报道）of the author he liked was
29、 considerably ruined by this. He felt that he himself should have had some recognition in the article. It was as if the translator did not exist, and all the efforts he had made had never happened.Most people would agree that it was wrong of the magazine not to mention the translator. However, it is
30、 also true that most readers themselves operate in exactly the same way, and for them it is also as if the translator didnt exist. When people read a translation of a novel, they want to feel they are reading what the novelist, and not someone else, wrote. They dont want to be reminded that they are
31、 not reading, and would not be able to read, the original novel created by the novelist, not wishing to know who the translator was or pay any attention to what they have done.In this global age, more and more works of fiction are being translated into more and more languages. Readers are now able t
32、o experience and understand other cultures more than ever through the reading of translated novels. So the works of more and more novelists can reach people in other parts of the world. This applies not only to new novels but also to fresh translations of old classics.29. What can we know about the
33、translator in Paragraph 1?A. His opinion was shared by the magazine.B. The novelists works were his favourite.C. He often sent articles to the magazine.D. The novelist got famous with his help.30. How did the translator feel when he looked closely at the article in the magazine?A. Regretful. B. Prou
34、d. C. Upset. D. Skeptical.31. What is the third paragraph mainly about?A.The contributions of novel translators.B.The general attitude towards translators.C.The readers different tastes in literature.D.The importance of reading original works.32.What does the author stress when talking about the glo
35、bal age?A.The shortage of able novel translators.B.The number of readers of original works.C.The value of novels in different countries.D.The variety of fiction available to readers.DConvincing someone to change their mind is really the process of convincing them to change their tribe (部落). If they
36、abandon their beliefs, they run the risk of losing social ties. You cant expect someone to change their mind if you take away their community too.The way to change peoples minds is to become friends with them, to combine them into your tribe, to bring them into your circle. Now, they can change thei
37、r beliefs without the risk of being abandoned socially.The British philosopher Alain de Botton suggests that we simply share meals with those who disagree with us: “Sitting down at a table with a group of strangers has the incomparable and odd benefit of making it a little more difficult to hate the
38、m without punishment. Prejudice and conflict between groups of people from different nations or races feed off abstraction. However, during a meal, something about handing dishes around, unfolding napkins (餐巾纸) at the same moment, even asking a stranger to pass the salt makes us less likely to hold
39、the belief that the outsiders who wear unusual clothes and speak in distinctive accents deserve to be sent home or attacked. For all the large-scale political solutions which have been proposed to ease racial or cultural conflict, there are few more effective ways to promote tolerance between suspic
40、ious neighbours than to force them to eat supper together.”Perhaps it is not difference, but distance that produces tribalism and unfriendliness. As proximity increases, so does understanding. I am reminded of Abraham Lincolns quote, “I dont like that man. I must get to know him better.” Facts dont
41、change our minds. Friendship does.The Japanese writer Haruki Murakami once wrote, “Always remember that to argue, and win, is to break down the reality of the person you are arguing against. It is painful to lose your reality, so be kind, even if you are right.”When we are in the moment, we can easi
42、ly forget that the goal is to connect with the other side, cooperate with them, befriend them, and integrate them into our tribe. We are so caught up in winning that we forget about connecting. Its easy to spend your energy labeling people rather than working with them.The word “kind (family and rel
43、atives)” originated from the word “kin (old fashion of family and relatives).” When you are kind to someone, it means you are treating them like family. This, I think, is a good method for actually changing someones mind. Develop a friendship. Share a meal. Gift a book. Be kind first, be right later
44、.33. When are people likely to change their mind?A.When they change their beliefs.B. When they are made friends with.C. When they move to a new community.D. When they are given somewhere to go.34. What does the author imply by quoting from Haruki Murakami?A. Breaking down ones reality is easy.B. Kin
45、dness is more important than right.C. Arguing and winning are not important.D. Losing ones identity is a painful process.35. According to the passage, why is sharing meals effective in building connections?A.It pleases people with different beliefs or accentsB.It makes people focus on eating rather
46、than conflictsC.It brings benefits to the people having dinner togetherD. It promotes understanding and tolerance among people第二节(共5小题:每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。There are many ways to improve your vocabularyWhen working to do so，its important to know your goals in order to
