第二部分阅读理解

第一节阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下面五篇短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

The breaking news of Mo Yan’s Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday evening soon aroused

public curiosity of the 57-year-old Chinese writer: Why was he favored by the Swedish Academy?

Less than half an hour after the announcement from Stockholm, Mo's works turned to "sold

nut" status at China's major online book sellers.

One luckv buver wrote in an online comment: "Rushed to purchase, but to my shame; I have

not read any of his novels."

Although Mo was entitled one of the top China’s literature awards before the Nobel Prize, he

is not the most popular novelist in China, in either the book market or in reputation.

Chinese media seemed to be shocked as some journalists were reported to be on their way

overnight to Gaomi City of East China’s Shandong Province, Mo's birthplace where he stayed with

his family. Born in 1955 into a rural family, Mo dropped out of school and became a farmer when

he was a teenager. He joined the army and devoted himself to writing. Mo's novels were

translated into several languages. For more than a century, Nobel Prize has been regarded by the

world as recognition to an individual or even a nation’s cultural and scientific advances.

"I think the reason why I could win the prize is that my works present lives with unique

Chinese characteristics, and they also tell stories from a viewpoint of common human beings, which

go beyond differences of nations and races," Mo said on Thursday evening to Chinese journalists.

Mo also said many folk arts originated from his hometown, such as paper cuts and traditional

new year paintings, have inspired and influenced his novels

Mo's prize may give powerful encouragement to the country's writers as the more reflective of

Chinese lives their works are, the more possible they arise as world literature.

31. From this passage we know that the news of Mo Yan’s Nobel Prize in Literature was．

A. contrary to the belief of the Chinese media B. curiosity to the Swedish Academy

C. a shock to online booksellers D. beyond the expectation of most Chinese people

32. The "one luckv buyer" mentioned in the third paragraph admitted that he

A. had not yet read Mo Yan's novels B. had written an online comment

C. regretted not reading Mo Yan's novels D. failed to buy a copy of Mo Yan's novels

33. The underlined word "thev" in the last paragraph refers to

A. the Chinese writers B. the Chinese writers’works

C. the Chinese lives D. M. You’s novels

34. Which of the following statements is true？

A. His winning is mainly due to some folk arts included in his works

B. Nobel Prize will no longer be regarded by the world as recognition to an individual.

C. M. Yan’s success will encourage the Chinese writers to win more Nobel Prizes.

D. Before 2012，Mo You had been considered as the most famous novelist in China

B

One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a "sea of

technology" rather than experiencing the natural world.，and computer games are leading to a

serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the

world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child’s play

Each of us has a place in nature to go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be，

the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wondering outdoors

will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. "If the decline in park use continues

across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment（蚕食）？”asks Richard Louv,

author of Last Child in the Woods.

Without having a nature experience, kids, can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a

huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental

health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive （认知的）skills. Experts predict modern kids will

have oooner health than their oarents-and thev sav a lack of outside olav is surelv Dart of it.

Research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that

playing in nature fosters leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor

experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he

is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his

eyes. We really need to value that more.

Kids are not to blame. They are over-protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from

time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an min as a process of

growing up. Everyone, from developers to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our

kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that

strengthen love, respect and need for landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our

energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.

35. The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that＿＿＿＿．

A. our generation has a place to go in nature when we are young

B, parks in North America have declined a lot recently

C. Richard Louv is the author of Last Child in the Woods

D. children are expected to develop into protectors of nature

36. According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will＿＿＿＿．

A. keep a high sense of wonder

B. be over-protected by their parents

C. be less healthy both physically and mentally

D. change wild places and creatures for the better

37. What does "sea of technoloev" mean in the first paragraph? The technology of

A. catching animals in the sea 　B. TV and computer games
