16、“It (Winning the prize) should play a rather positive role,but the effect shouldnt be overestimated,” Mo said in an interview with Xinhua in his hometown Gaomi in east Chinas Shandong Province.Mo became the first Chinese citizen to win the Nobel Literature Prize in the century-long history,bringing
17、joy to other writers and readers throughout the country.Though he is the winner of Nobel Literature Prize,the 59-year-old writer said he did not have high expectations for winning.“Actually,I thought I only had a slim chance to win,” he said.“There are so many good writers throughout the world,and i

21、akes in it.”As for the reading habits of modern people,Mo has his own opinion.“With more means available to pass ones spare time now,such as chatting online and listening to music,there is no doubt that ones reading time will end up shorter,” Mo said.Mo said he did not expect his Nobel Prize for Lit

24、ing in a long queue for the prize.C.Because he was born in a farmers family.D.Because people have little enthusiasm about Chinese literature.提示:细节理解题。根据文章第六段中“There are so many good writers throughout the world,and in China.”可知,B项在文中表达的是引申意义,说明优秀作家数量多,脱离语境后失去了其原有的含义;C项莫言出生在一个农民家庭与他对诺贝尔奖的期望并无关联;D项内容文
25、中未提及。答案:A2.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.Mo Yan had just a little schooling when he was young.B.Mo Yan has a great interest in reading.C.Mo Yan was invited to find mistakes in a Chinese dictionary.D.Mo Yan felt proud of himself when he finished reading all
26、the books in the villages around.提示:细节理解题。文章并未提及莫言被邀请为字典查找错误,而是提到他孩提时代阅读汉语字典次数多以至于都能找出其中的错误来。答案:C3.We can learn from the passage that .A.Mo thought that his chance of winning the prize was highB.Mo bought many books in his childhoodC.many people turn to read books as a way to pass their spare time s
27、ince Mo won the Nobel PrizeD.the Chinese read more books than people in other countries提示:推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段可知,在莫言看来,人们的这种热情在一个月后就会结束,甚至更早,然后一切都会恢复正常。由此可推知现在很多人受莫言获诺贝尔文学奖的影响开始把读书作为一种消磨空闲时间的方式。A、B、D选项均与文章的描述不符。答案:C4.What does the underlined word in the passage mean?A.Prevent.B.Reject.C.Limit.D.Develop.提示:词义猜测题。由画线词所在段落及下一段可知,虽然莫言获得诺贝尔奖的确让人们振奋,但他认为这并不会加强阅读习惯的培养。prevent “阻止”;reject “拒绝”;limit “限制”;develop “发展;增强,加强”。结合语境可确定答案为D项。答案:D
