21、   The Swedish Academy has named Polish writer Olga Tokarczuk winner of the 2019 Nobel Prize for Literature. It also announced that it was honoring Austrian Peter Handke with the 2018 Nobel Prize for Literature. The Academy cancelled the prize last year after many members fled the organization following sexual abuse accusations linked to it.

The Academy said it awarded Tokarczuk for imaginative writing that “represents the crossing of boundaries as a form of life.”

The Polish writer’s first published work came in 1989, a book of poetry called Cities in Mirrors. Her first novel, The Journey of the Book-People, was published in 1993. Last year, Tokarczuk became the first Polish writer to win Britain’s Man Booker Prize for International Literature for her novel Flights. Her novel Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, was on the short list of nominees for the 2019 prize as well. That prize went to another writer. Tokarczuk spoke Thursday with readers hours after she won the Nobel. “I can only write.” She said.

The Swedish Academy said it named Peter Handke winner of the 2018 prize for “influential work that with linguistic gift has explored the boundary and the specificity of human experience.” Handke’s first novel was published in 1966. He also writes plays and is a political organizer. The Austrian writer was an opponent(反对者) of NATO’s air attacks against Serbia in the Kosovo war of thelate1990s.He was a supporter of the Serbian government under the leadership of Slobodan Milosevic. He has denied that Bosnian Serb troops carried out a campaign killing of 8, 000 locals in Srebrenica during the Bosnian war in the 1990s. As a result, some critics are angry that he was given the Nobel Prize.

At home in Paris Thursday, Handke called the decision to give him the literature award “courageous.” He said the recognition gave him “a strange kind of freedom.”

【1】Which of Tokarczuk’s works won Britain’s Man Booker Prize?

A.Cities in Mirrors. B.Flights.

【4】What’s the best title of the text?

22、   There are many kinds of book clubs where members discuss a different book every month. What about dinner clubs, where people get together once a month or four times a year to make and eat dinner? In the dinner club that I joined, the hostess of the dinner club would prepare a big dinner first. Then the members would begin discussing the food. 【1】.

There are two variations of a dinner club. One has a group of people who try a different restaurant once a month. 【2】. When they all meet, they order and share different dishes. This is a great idea, especially if you live in a big city where there are hundreds of different restaurants.

【3】. One way is to have the hostess for the month decide on a type of food. The hostess is responsible for cooking the entrees. The other members make different courses at home, like salad and dessert, and bring them to the dinner club. For an even more exciting and interactive type of dinner clubs, the entire group comes together in the hostess’ kitchen. 【4】. In this way the members of the group not only learn about different types of food, but also different methods of cooking.

The great thing about a dinner club is that it serves in many different ways. 【5】. Couples can get together for some food and great conversations. A stay-at-home mother can get a couple of other stay-at-home mothers together and start a children's lunch club. If you have a group of friends that love to get together and experiment with different types of food, the possibilities are endless!

A．Now, let's talk about our dinner club

B．This was the beginning of our dinner club

C．They prepare the entire meal in a group effort

D．Usually one member decides on the restaurant

E．The other kind of dinner clubs has many different forms

F．It offers regular well-organized social events in selected places

G．You can make the dinner club even more special one month by inviting partners

23、   The seven teenagers hurried towards the airport gate. Italy's national under-16 swimming championship was taking place in Genoa and the boys were going to compete there. 14-year-old Marco Sulis looked around for his teammates. Their coach sat near them. While preparing for take-off, the flight attendant began her routine safety briefing. Most of the passengers idled away the time engaging in chatting and eating. Although air crashes are alien to Marco, he, who perceived how vital the process was, would later remember all her words.

During the flight, as earlier instructed, he located the nearest emergency exit and made a mental note of the red handle behind a protective plastic shield. To open the door, one had to remove the plastic and pull the handle.

Located by mountains to the north, the airport is often beaten by strong winds. Flight 1553 was a short one. The sky that day was crystalline blue and visibility was perfect.

At two minutes to touchdown, the plane rocked, which was later found to be out of mechanical faults. Soon, it touched down unstably on two wheels. The captain attempted to reduce the airplane's speed by braking hard but it was no use. Slipping sideways, the plane rushed out into the sea at high speed.

Tons of water poured into the cabin. Passengers were shouting and rushing towards the emergency exit door. Marco watched people struggle with the door fruitlessly.

“Let me do it!” Marco yelled, leaping out of his seat.

Marco smashed the clear plastic with the palm of his hand. He grabbed the handle and pulled, using all the strength in his body. The emergency exit door finally swung open. However, the emergency door pinned Marco's leg down. Passengers passed Marco as they rushed out of the plane. Already soaking in water, Marco knew there was no time to waste. He pushed against the door as hard as he could and managed to free his leg. Marco exited from the plane finally and saw his coach and teammates bobbing in the waves. He began swimming towards the concrete pier(码头).The others followed.

When they reached the pier, they were safe at last. Even though four people were killed in the accident, many more survived because of Marco. Marco just simply said, “All I did was to watch safety briefing.

【1】What drove Marco to remember the safety briefing?

A.His previous experience of an air accident.

B.The prediction of the upcoming crash.

C.His realization of the importance.

D.The coach's compulsory requirement.

【2】Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A.The weather condition was good for flying on the day of the accident.

B.Marco was the passenger sitting nearest to the emergency exit randomly.

C.The plane went wrong above in the sky because of the force of wind.

D.The pilot finally managed to slow down the plane with a timely brake.

【3】Why didn't Marco leave the plane as soon as the exit door was opened?

A.Because he was blocked by other passengers.

B.Because one part of his body was stuck tight.

C.Because he was looking for his companions.

D.Because he was scared of the sea water outside.

【4】Which of the following can best describe Marco?

A.Persistent and hardworking.

B.Ambitious and skillful.

C.Creative and considerate.

D.Alert and decisive.

24、The Chinese people attach great importance to mianzi. There is no corresponding English term for mianzi, but its meaning is somewhere between paying attention to image and honor. In the Chinese language, many derivative(派生的) words and expressions with mianzi as the root have come into being, and all of them reflect important aspects of Chinese culture.

Hao mianzi (to be concerned about image and honor) is widely regarded as a characteristic Chinese cultural feature. When Confucius accepted new students 2,500 years ago, he asked them to give a few kilograms of dried meat as tuition. But the sage was so concerned about mianzi that he called the dried meat presents, not tuition or fees.

Hao mianzi reflects the concept of image and honor. In China, there is a protocol to everything which should be followed to avoid embarrassment. And hao mianzi is all about avoiding embarrassment.

A few months ago, my wife got a phone call from one of her high school classmates living in a neighboring city, inviting her to her son’s wedding. My wife made several phone calls to find out how much the present for the bridegroom should be worth.

In China, when one is invited to attend a wedding, a birthday party or any other special occasion, one is supposed to bring with him or her some present. The values of such presents have been changing with time－four decades ago, it could be an enamel bowl, a thermos flask or a bed sheet but now the best option is cash. The amount should not be too small, or else you could be considered a miser, or too big to become a burden on the receiving party, for he/she has to gift a present of a similar amount in return when the occasion arises.

Such gifts or presents, in Chinese, are called suili, and generally range from a few hundred yuan to more than 1,000 yuan ($156.96), depending on the family’s income.

After my wife found out that the widely accepted sum of suili in the city where her former classmate lived was 600 yuan, she put six 100 yuan bills in an envelope and set off for the neighboring city. Gifting less than 600 yuan would have made my wife diu mianzi (lose face) while by gifting a lot more than that, she could have embarrassed the other guests.

Happy to see my wife, her friend said the fact that she come all the way from Beijing to attend the wedding was so zheng mianzi (face gaining). But her thankful words also implied that if my wife had not attended the wedding, she could have been blamed for bugei mianzi (not giving face).

The Chinese people are very serious about mianzi. There have been reports about immigrant workers spending an entire year’s savings on suili when returning home for Spring Festival during which many weddings are usually held.

But today’s youth do not care much about mianzi. Going Dutch is becoming popular, especially among white collar workers when dining out or traveling together. Also, the youth can always find a good reason to skip ceremonies that require them to gift suili.

For them, mianzi does not depend on how others look at you but on your own level of satisfaction－be it from career achievements or high-quality living.

【1】Why was Confucius’ example referred to in the passage?

A．To show that Confucius was also a meat lover.

B．To identify mianzi as a cultural feature around the world.

C．To honour Confucius’ kindness in accepting students for free.

D．To indicate that Confucius was concerned about his image and honour.

【2】What does the underlined word “protocol” mean?

A．practice.

B．taboo.

C．embarrassment.

D．conflict.

【3】What can be implied from the passage?

A．Chinese tend to think suili a must in their life, especially the youth.

B．The values of suili have been settled since decades ago.

C．Chinese think of suili as an inevitable burden of life.

D．Suili can also be treated as a derivative word with mianzi.
