题型:不详难度:来源:


Writing a good story is not an easy task. What’s the secret? Mo Yan, last year’s Nobel Prize winner in literature, believes his success comes from a large amount of reading.
Mo was born into a farming family in a village in Shandong province. He grew up listening to folk stories about gods, spirits and foxes. Those stories later became the inspiration(灵感) for Mo’s writing.
Mo left school at the age of 12 and started to work in the fields.
Although he was tired after his daily hard work, Mo was always hungry for books. However, there were very few in the village. He read his older brother’s textbooks and even dictionaries. He helped others with farm work in exchange for books.
“When I finished reading all the books around, I thought I was the most knowledgeable man in the world,” he told Xinhua.
After Mo left his hometown and joined the army in 1976, he began to read widely, including works by Lu Xun and many other famous writers. He studied from these writers but did not copy them. Instead, he developed his own style. As the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize in literature, Mo told a group of reporters in his hometown shortly after he won the award. “I grew up in an environment filled with folk culture. It enters my novels whenever I pick up a pen. This has affected, even decided, my style.”

解析

试题分析:本文介绍中国第一位诺贝尔文学奖得主—莫言的故事。介绍他儿时就酷爱读书,参军后读了很多名著并开创了自己的写作风格。
小题1:细节理解题。Mo was born into a farming family in a village in Shandong province.“莫言出生于山东省一个小村庄的农村家庭。”故选A。
小题2:细节理解题。He studied from these writers but did not copy them. Instead, he developed his own style. “他向这些作家学习,但是没有抄袭他们。相反的,他建立了自己的风格。”故选C。
小题3:推理判断题。根据Mo left school at the age of 12 and started to work in the fields.“莫言12岁离开学校并开始在田间工作。”可知A正确;根据第四段所述,莫言读他哥哥的书,还通过帮别人干活来交换书。可知B正确;When I finished reading all the books around, I thought I was the most knowledgeable man in the world,“当我读完周围的这些书,我认为我就是世界上最知识渊博的人了。”可知C错误,他认为自己知识渊博,他并不是世界上最渊博的人。 As the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize in literature, Mo told a group of reporters in his hometown shortly after he won the award. “作为世界上第一个中国文学诺比尔奖获得者,莫言在他获奖后不久就告诉他家乡的一些记者。”因此D正确。故选C。

举一反三
It"s not easy to be an astronaut"s son. Everybody expects you to be special or perfect. I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me. I mean he"s so special and so good at everything he does. Even in middle school he was class monitor and captain of the football team.

Well, to be honest, I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special-like saving a child from a burning building or discovering a new star. I was daydreaming at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father"s Day writing competition for the whole school. "I hope we have a winner right here in my class."
When I got home, I started to think about what to write. My father is an astronaut. No, :I wouldn"t start like that. That was the way others saw him. How did I see my father? Hmm...
I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream. I remembered how he hugged(拥抱 ) me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car. Yes, these were the things I was going to write. To me, he wasn"t just a world-famous astronaut. He was my dad.

The third prize was announced and it was not me. I was relieved and disappointed at the same time. The second prize was announced. It was me.
I went up to the stage and read what I had written, "My father"s son". When I finished, the people stood up and cheered. I saw my father blowing his nose. Tears (眼泪 ) were running down my mother"s face. Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder.“Son, this is the proudest moment of my life."

An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money. When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “Only a miracle(奇迹)can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.
She hurried to a drugstore(药店) with the money in her hand.
“And what do you want?” asked the salesman. “It’s for my little brother,” the girl answered. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon?” said the salesman.
“My brother Andrew has something bad growing in-side his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?” “We don’t sell a miracle here, child. I’m sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.
“Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”
A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”
“I don’t know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it, so I have brought all my money.
“How much do you have?” asked the man. “$1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered.
“Well, what luck,” smiled the man. “$1.11, the price of a miracle for little brothers”
