26、Herta Müller, the Romanian-born German writer, has won the 2009 Nobel Prize for Literature. The award was announced in Stockholm on Thursday.

Ms. Müller, 56, immigrated to Germany from Romania in 1987. She is the first German writer to win the Nobel in literature since Günter Grass in 1999 and the 13th winner writing in German since the prize was first given in 1901. She is the 12th woman to win the literature prize. But unlike previous winners like Doris Lessing and V. S. Naipaul, Ms. Müller is relatively unknown outside of literary circles in Germany.

“I am very surprised and still cannot believe it,” Ms. Muller said in a statement delivered by her publisher in Germany. “I can’t say anything more at the moment.”

She has written some 20 books, but just 5 have been translated into English, including the novels “The Land of Green Plums” and “The Appointment.”

At the news conference on Thursday at the German Publishers & Booksellers Association in Berlin, where she lives, Ms. Müller, wearing all black and sitting on a leopard-print chair, appeared nervous with all the cameras flashing on her.

When asked what it meant that her name would now be mentioned in the same breath as German greats like Thomas Mann and Heinrich Böll, Ms. Müller remained philosophical. “I am now nothing better and I’m nothing worse,” she said, adding, “My inner thing is writing. That’s what I can hold on to.”

Earlier in the day, at a news conference in Stockholm, Peter Englund, secretary of the Swedish Academy, said Ms. Müller was honored for her “very, very distinct special language” and because “she has really a story to tell about cruelty and repression in a village much like the one Müller grew up in.”

The awards ceremony was planned for Dec. 10 in Stockholm. As the winner, Ms. Müller would receive about $1.4 million.

【1】Ms. Müller was surprised at the news about her winning the award because ________.

A．she was born a Romanian and became a famous German writer

B．she had missed a lot of chances to win the prize

C．she had expected to win the prize eagerly for long

D．she thought she was just an unknown writer in this field

【2】By saying “I am now nothing better and I’m nothing worse”, Ms. Müller meant that ________.

A．she thought highly of herself

B．she thought nothing of herself

C．she was very modest

D．she was no worse than the other German writers

【3】What’s the best title of the passage?

A．The Biography of Herta Müller

B．Herta Müller Wins Literature Nobel Prize

C．Herta Müller, a Great Successful Romanian Writer

D．The Great Awards Ceremony for Herta Müller

27、   OK,” I said to my daughter as she bent over her afternoon bowl of rice. “What’s going on with you and your friend J.?” J. is the leader of a group of third-graders at her camp — a position Lucy herself occupied the previous summer. Now she’s the one on the outs. and every day at snack time, she tells me all about it, while I offer the unhelpful advice all summer long.

“She’s fond of giving orders, ”Lucy complained. “She’s turning everyone against me. She’s mean. And she’s fat. ” “Excuse me,” I said, struggling for calm. “What did you just said?” “She’s fat. ” Lucy mumbled. “We’re going upstairs,” I said, my voice cold. “We’re going to discuss this. ” And up we went. I’d spent the nine years since her birth getting ready for this day, the day we’d have the conversation about this horrible word. I knew exactly what to say to the girl on the receiving end of the teasing, but in all of my imaginings, it never once occurred to me that my daughter would be the one who used the F word—Fat.

My daughter sat on her bed, and I sat beside her. “How would you feel if someone made fun of you for something that wasn’t your fault?” I began. “She could stop eating so much,” Lucy mumbled, mouthing the simple advice a thousand doctors have given overweight women for years.

“It’s not always that easy,” I said. “Everyone’s different in terms of how they treat food.” Lucy looked at me, waiting for me to go on. I opened my mouth, then closed it. Should I tell her that, in teasing a woman’s weight, she’s joined the long tradition of critics? Should I tell her I didn’t cry when someone posted my picture and commented, “I’m sorry, but aren’t authors who write books marketed to young women supposed to be pretty?”

Does she need to know, now, that life isn’t fair? I feel her eyes on me, waiting for an answer I don’t have. Words are my tools. Stories are my job. It’s possible she’ll remember what I say forever, and I have no idea what to say.

So I tell her the only thing I can come up with that is absolutely true. I say to my daughter, “I love you, and there is nothing you could ever do to make me not love you. But I’m disappointed in you right now. There are plenty of reasons for not liking someone. What she looks like isn’t one of them. ”

Lucy nods, tears on her cheeks. “I won’t say that again,” she tells me, and I pull her close, pressing my nose against her hair. As we sit there together, I pray for her to be smart and strong. I pray for her to find friends, work she loves, a partner who loves her. And still, always, I pray that she will never struggle as I’ve struggled, that weight will never be her cross to bear. She may not be able to use the word in our home, but I can use in my head. I pray that she will never get fat.

【1】The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 indicates that Lucy ________.

A．often makes fun of her friend J.

B．has begun to compete with her friend J.

C．gets along well with her friend J.

D．has turned against her friend J.

【2】Why does the author want to discuss with Lucy?

A．Because she wants to offer some other helpful advice.

B．Because she is really shocked at Lucy’s rudeness.

C．Because she has prepared the conversation for nine years.

D．Because she decides to tell Lucy a similar story of her own.

【3】It can be inferred from the passage that________.

A．the author is a fat but good-looking woman.

B．the author earns a living by writing stories.

C．the author will stop loving her daughter for what she said.

D．the author’s daughter agreed with her from the very beginning.

【4】We can learn from the last paragraph that________.

A．the author hopes her daughter will never have weight trouble.

B．a mother’s prayer will shape her daughter’s attitude towards life.

C．the author allows her daughter to use the F word in her head.

D．Lucy was deeply moved by her mother’s prayer.

【5】The author’s attitude towards her daughter can be best described as ________.

A．indifferent but patient

B．loving but strict

C．satisfied and friendly

D．unsatisfied and angry

29、Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirtiest and most dangerous jobs in the world? It is an increasingly urgent question, given the recent mining accidents in Sago, W. Va and Huntington, Utah. A small group of engineers and robotics experts look forward to a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do most of the dangerous mining work.

Robotic technology, in particular, holds much promise, McAteer says, especially when it comes to mapping mines and rescuing trapped miners—the special operations of the mining industry.

One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. It was called Groundhog. It used lasers to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines—some of the most dangerous work in the business.

The latest design is called Cave Crawler. It’s a bit smaller than Groundhog, and even more advanced. It can take photos and videos and has more sensors that can detect the presence of dangerous gases. Incredibly, the robot has a real sense of logic. If it comes across an obstacle it gets momentarily confused. It has to think about what to do and where to go next. Sometimes it throws a fit just like a real person.

The greatest problem, though, is cost. The money of the earliest research project was provided by the government, but that money had dried up, and it’s not clear where future money will come from. Partly for that reason, and partly because of advances in safety, mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past. Since 1990, fatalities have declined by 67% and injuries by 51%, according to the National Mining Association.

Some experts predict that robots in mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry. The robots do the most boring and dangerous jobs，but won’t get rid of the need for human workers.

【1】The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog, mainly because _________.

A．it can map abandoned mines

B．it can see in the dark tunnels

C．it’s smaller than Groundhog

D．it has a real sense of logic

【2】We can infer from the last paragraph that _________.

A．robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industry

B．there will be no need for human workers in mines

C．the mine robots will have a very bright future

D．robots in mines only do some simple jobs now

【3】We can infer from the passage that _________.

A．the mining robots do most of the mining work at present

B．groundhog can discover the presence of dangerous gases

C．experts are trying to make robots help miners with dangerous work

D．robots cannot do dangerous work in dark areas

【4】What can be the best title for the passage?

A．Mining Accidents in America

B．Robots in Mines

C．Cave crawler, the Latest Robot

D．The Future of Robots

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be

used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Youth sport has the 【1】 to accomplish three important objectives in children’s development. First, sport programs can provide youth with opportunities to be 【2】 active, which can lead to improved physical health. Second, youth sport programs have long been considered important to youth’s psychosocial development, providing opportunities to learn important life skills such as cooperation, discipline, leadership, and self-control. Third, youth sport programs are 【3】 for the learning of motor skills(运动技能); these motor skills serve as a foundation for future national sport stars and recreational adult sport 【4】. When coachers develop activities for youth practices and when sport 【5】 design youth-sport programs, they must consider the implication of deliberate play and deliberate practice.

Research from Telama (2006) states that regular participation in deliberate play or deliberate practice activities during childhood and youth (ages nine to eighteen) increases the likelihood of participation in sports during adulthood by six times for both males and females. Côté (2002) defines deliberate play activities in sport as those designed to maximize enjoyment. These activities are regulated by flexible rules 【6】 from standardized sport rules and are set up by the children or by an involved adult. Children 【7】 change rules to find a point where their game is similar to the actual sport but still allows for play at their level. For example, children may change soccer and basketball rules to suit their needs and environment (e.g. in the street. on a playing field or in someone’s backyard). When 【8】 in deliberate play activities, children are less concerned with the outcome of their outcome of their behavior (whether they win or lose) than with the behavior (having fun).

On the other hand, Ericsson (1993) suggests that the most effective learning occurs through involvement in highly structured activities defined as deliberate practice. Deliberate practice activities require effort, produce no immediate rewards, and are 【9】 by the goal of improving performance rather than the goal of enjoyment. When individuals are involved in deliberate play, they experiment with different combinations of behaviors, but not necessarily in the most effective way to improve performance. In contrast, when 【10】 are involved in deliberate practice, they exhibit behavior. focused on improving performance by the most effective means available. For example, the backhand skill in tennis could be learned and improved over time by playing matches or by creating fun practice situations. However, players could more effectively improve their backhand performance by practicing drills that might be considered less enjoyable.

Although the drills used in most effective means available practice might not be the most enjoyable, they might be the most relevant to improving performance.
