My mother had to work to     5   my family. There were five girls in our family and we all had to     6  . Once when I was about seven, I came out of the     7  , “Mom, I can’t peel (削……皮) potatoes. I only have one hand.”

ADBAC DACBB ACDBA BCDBA
1..A. 解析:聯(lián)系下文我們可以得知,出生時,“我”左胳臂肘以下的部分缺少。從下文可知,作者的胳膊不是斷了(bro—
ken),也不是生病(diseased),而是沒有。
2.. D 解析:從空后的句子我們得知,這是醫(yī)生給“我”母親的建議,要母親像對待一個正常的孩子那樣對待“我”。此處醫(yī)生給我母親的不是“警告”,也不是“幫助”,更不是“藥”。
3..B 解析:從下句demand more可以得知,醫(yī)生要“我”母親不要因?yàn)椤拔摇钡臍埣簿桶选拔摇迸c其他孩子區(qū)別對待。從后面的介詞from可排除其他選項,不合搭配。
4..A 解析:did在此相當(dāng)于demanded more,此處強(qiáng)調(diào)母親確實(shí)照醫(yī)生的話做了。B、C不合題意。D用于替代句中的系表結(jié)構(gòu),而此處demand more是實(shí)意動詞。
5..C 解析:support在這里是“支撐,養(yǎng)活”的意思,說明母親要工作來養(yǎng)家糊口。從母親的艱辛這一點(diǎn)可排除其他動詞; care"關(guān)心”’feed"喂養(yǎng)”。
6..D 解析:從下文“我”剝土豆皮的經(jīng)歷可得知“我們”姐妹幾個都幫母親的忙。help out當(dāng)“幫助”講’pay attention"注意”;workout"解決問題;出現(xiàn)……結(jié)果”;carry out"執(zhí)行(任務(wù)等)”,都不合題意。    
7..A 解析:從空后的"Mom,I can’t peel potatoes.”看,“我”從廚房走出來。從作者削土豆這——具體的語境可排除其他選項。
8.. C 解析:空前的that指代“我”所說的I can’t peel potatoes,I only have one hand.母親認(rèn)為那是借口,故用eXCUS~“主
意”“變化”“解釋”在此都不合邏輯。
9..B 解析:用右手剝皮,用左胳膊把土豆握住,my other arm 指失去肘部以下的那只胳膊。lost"失蹤的、丟失的”,往往指整個東西,而此處作者的胳膊僅僅缺少了半截;next"下一個”指次序;longer不合邏輯。
10..B 解析:從下文"if you try hard 11(enough),you can do anything.”我們得知,“我”認(rèn)為辦法總是有的。此處指的是有“辦法”,其他選項不合題意。
11..A 解析:enough在這里做程度副詞,修飾前面的副詞hard.題意為:假如你足夠努力,你什么事情都可以做。100表示兩種兩樣的情況;again表示動作的重復(fù),都不合題意。
12..C 解析:從下句我們知道,這次“我”沒有做,因此當(dāng)老師要“我”做的時候,“我”搖頭拒絕,因此用shock.從下文以及作者是殘疾人這一點(diǎn)可排除其他選項。
13..D 解析:在這里作者是說有幾個孩子嘲笑“我”,用laugh at sb A、C有較大干擾性,cheered多表達(dá)因?yàn)槌晒、喜悅而歡呼慶祝,而joke指開玩笑。
14..B 解析:take sb.t。a place意思是“領(lǐng)著某人去某地”。Drive sb.t。意為“開車?yán)湍橙说绞裁吹胤健;send sb.To a place意為“派某人去某地”;carry sb.t。意為“攜帶某人去某地”。
15..A 解析:pull up在這里指把身體拉上去。在這里母親要“我”用右手把身體拉上高低杠。pull表示“拉,牽引”。因?yàn)楹竺嬗小坝媚愕挠沂帧钡男畔⑾拗,因此排除其他選項。
16..B 解析:as在此相當(dāng)于when或while,在我練習(xí)的時候,母親站在一邊。此處表示兩個動作同時發(fā)生,因此排除其他選項。
17..C 解析:在“我”有進(jìn)步時,母親表場“我”。由前面“進(jìn)步”信息提示,可排除“幫助”“抬”“保護(hù)”。
18..D 解析:the next time指自那次以后的下一次;the first time“第一次”;the last time"上一次,最后一次”;the wonderful time"最美好的時光”都不合語境。
19..B解析:不能夠處理事情是“我”的擔(dān)心,故用fear,相當(dāng)于be afraid.其他答案均有一定干擾性,聯(lián)系上下文我們知道,母親一直鼓勵“我”不要把自己看作殘疾人,她要求“我”做正常人所做的一切事情。admit“承認(rèn)”,realize"意識到”,此處都不合語境。
20.. A 解析:“她用心去面對一切事情”。D項有一定干擾性,從空前的heart我們得知,母親從心理上能勇敢面對一切困難。

"The folk arts and folk culture accompanied my growth and I was influenced by the cultural elements I witnessed through my childhood.When I picked up the pen for literature creation, the folk cultural elements inevitably entered my novels and affected and even determined the artistic styles of my works," he added.
Mo's win brought joy to other writers and readers throughout the country as he is the first Chinese national to win the Nobel Literature Prize in its century--long history.
Born into a farmer's family in a village in Gaomi, Mo has been known since the late 1980s for his novels such as Big Breasts and Wide Hips and Red Sorghum, which was later adapted into a film by director Zhang Yimou.

When talking with young Swedish students, Mo Yan showed respect for Chinese authors that he learned writing from, particularly Shen Congwen, who was twice nominated(提名)for the Nobel Prize.
“Lu Xun, Lao She, Mao Dun and Shen Congwen, they are more qualified(有資格的)for the Nobel Prize than me,” he said,. Among the writers he learned from, he said he especially felt close to Shen Congwen, as they have similar life experiences.
Both of them left school early and did not get formal education. Shen quit after high school and Mo only finished the fifth grade. They both joined the army after school. “ We both learned from the book of life,” said Mo.
The themes of their writing are also similar. Both writers have their hometown as the theme and root of their writings. Shen’works are mostly about his hometown, Xiangxi, and most of Mo’s stories are set in his hometown, Gaomi, in Shandong Province.
Mo said he also learned from Shen how to deal with characters in a fiction. Unlike most Chinese writers, Shen has a humanistic(人文主義的) touch towards all of his characters. Said Mo, “In his works, there are no particularly bad person or good person. Even gangsters(匪徒) and thieves have their humane(仁慈的)side,” he said.
“I try to use the same approach in my writing. It shows the ability of a novelist when he treats all the characters as humans,” he said.
Mo said he also learned Lu Xun’s depth and Lao She’s humor. “They are all my teachers, and I am the student,” he said. “I feel ashamed from my heart that teachers did not get the prize, but the student got it.”
