阅读理解。     BEIJING, China (CNN)-Chinese workers and army soldiers were racing to sweep snow-covered highways
and railway routes for millions of travelers trapped by cold weather. 
     More than 67 million people have been affected by the weather and economic losses are expected to reach
as much as $3 billion, Chinese officials say. 
     In the past week, the snowstorms have hit the provinces in central, eastern and southern China-places that
used to have mild winters. 
     "We"ve never seen such a cold weather lasting for such a long time," said Tang Shan, a man in his 70s
Changsha, Hunan Province. "The last time we had one here was over 50 years ago, and not this bad." 
     The snow has blocked roads, railways and airports, leaving tens of millions of travelers stranded (滞留),
officials say. Many of them are going home ahead of the traditional Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring
Festival. 
     The Lunar New Year travel is China"s busiest travel period of the year.But the snow is changing travel plans.
Railway and highway routes have been brought to a pause,a situation in which all activity or movement has
stopped and several regional airports have been closed. 
     In the southern city of Guangzhou, as many as 500,000 train passengers were stranded in the past few
days when a power failure in neighboring Hunan seriously damaged the regular train services, local officials
said. About 100,000 passengers crowded the square in front of the train station, while others found shelter
in schools and other public buildings while waiting for their trains. 
     More terrible weather is expected. China"s weather office on Monday issued a warning of more severe (恶
劣的) snowstorms in the coming days. If so, the number of stranded travelers will surely increase. 1. What would be the best title for the passage? [     ]

READING COMPREHENSION.     French writer Le Clezio won the 2008 Nobel Prize in Literature, the Swedish Academy announced
Thursday.
     The Academy cited Le Clezio as "author of new departures and poetic adventure, explorer of humanity
beyond civilization."
     Le Clezio, 48, received much attention with his first novel The Interrogation in 1963 and made the
breakthrough as a novelist with Desert in 1980, for which he was rewarded a prize from the French
Academy.
     This novel Dserte contains magnificent images of a lost culture in the North African desert, contrast
with a description of Europe seen through the eyes of unwanted immigrants, the Swedish Academy said
in the statement.
     The emphasis in Le Clezio"s work has increasingly moved in the direction of an exploration of the
world of childhood and of his own family history, the academy added.
     Le Clezio was born 1940 in Nice of France, but both parents had strong family connections with the
former French colony Mauritius. At the age of eight, he moved to Nigeria with his family. During the
month-long voyage to Nigeria, he began his literary career with two books Un long voyage and Oradi noir.
     He has taught at universities in Bangkok, Mexico City, Boston, Austin and Albuquerque among other
places. Since the 1990s, Le Clezio and his wife share their time between Albuquerque in New Mexico, the
island of Mauritius and Nice.
     This was the fourth of the prestigious Nobel Prizes handed out this year, with awards in chemistry,
physics and medicine made in the past three days.
     The Nobel Prizes have been awarded annually since 1901 to those who "conferred (给予) the greatest
benefit on mankind during the preceding year."
     The annual Nobel Prizes are usually announced in October and are handed out on Dec. 10, the anniversary
of the 1896 death of Alfred Nobel, a Swedish industrialist and the inventor of dynamite.
     Each prize consists of a medal, a personal diploma and a cash award of 10 million Swedish kronor (1.4
million U.S. dollars). 1. Which of Le Clezio"s works won him the 2008 Nobel Prize in Literature? [     ]
A. The Interrogation
B. Desert
C. Un Long voyage
D. Oradi noir 2. The underlined word "cited" means _____. [     ]

for charities, which were decided upon by students.
