Herta Müller, the Romanian-born German writer, has won the 2009 Nobel Prize for Literature. 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 gain the literature prize. But unlike previous winners like Doris Lessing and V. S. Naipaul, Ms. Müller is unknown inside of literary circles in Germany.
“I am very surprised and still cannot believe it,” Ms. Muller said in a statement released 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 a news conference on Thursday at the German Publishers & Booksellers Association in Berlin, where she lives, Ms. Müller, wearing all black, appeared overwhelmed(不知所措) by all the cameras in her face.
When asked what it meant that her name would now be mentioned in the same breath as German greats like Thomas Mann and Heinrich B??ll, Ms. Müller remained philosophical(達觀的). “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…and growing up as a stranger in your own family.
we can learn from the passage that Ms. Muller is_______.
A. the 1st writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature since 1999
B. the 12th winner for the Nobel Prize in Literature since 1901
C. the 13th woman writer to win the Nobel Prize for Literature
D. a German citizen since she moved to German in 1987
Ms. Müller was surprised at the news about her winning the award because ____.
A. she was born a Romanian person
B. she had failed many times in winning it
C. she had never wanted to win the prize
D. she was only an unknown writer
The underlined expression “in the same breath” is the nearest in meaning to ____.
A. instead of B. at the same moment
C. in a breath D. under the same roof
We can infer according to the passage that ____.
A. her honored works are based on her own experience
B. most of Ms. Müller’s novels are unsuccessful works
C. Ms. Müller is feeling much better after she becomes the award winner
D. Ms. Müller was honored because she’s described the Germans’ life vividly

The possibility that pleasant smells might reduce pain has recently been suggested by new research. In a scientific study, doctors asked 20 men and 20 women to keep their hands in very hot water for as long as possible while breathing in different smells.
As people believe that strong smells can affect the senses, volunteers were asked not to eat or drink for eight hours before the experiment began. During the experiment, volunteers were asked to take in pleasant smells such as vanilla (香草), and unpleasant smells such as durians (榴蓮). The volunteers kept their hands in the water until it became too hot for them. When they could not bear the pain any more, they took their hands out of the water.
Scientists are interested in whether the senses or smell is related to pain and whether men and women have the same senses. Now, the study has proved that for women, pleasant smells reduce pain. For men, there is no change.
Dr Finkelstein has been studying smells since 1999. He says that scientists already have data from 40 volunteers. He adds that this year, scientists will test another 60 volunteers and will be in a better position to explain the results.
One explanation is that women’s sense of smell developed long ago, and is linked to recognizing the smell of babies. Scientists used to believe that mothers recognized their children by sight only. Now, they have started to believe that the sense of smell also helps, but why pleasant smells do not reduce pain in men is a question still to be answered by scientists.
【小題1】Before the experiment, volunteers ______.
| A．are gathered and take a training |
| B．cannot eat or drink for several hours |
| C．must wash their hands carefully |
| D．will be interviewed by Dr Finkelstein |
| A．women may stand the pain of the hot water longer |
| B．men may keep their hands in the hot water longer |
| C．they will probably take their hands out at the same time |
| D．we are not quite sure who will take their hands out earlier |
| A．the reason why women are sensitive to smells is clear |
| B．the experiment for the sense of smell has come to an end |
| C．unpleasant smells affect men’s senses more than women’s |
| D．scientists have not totally explained the result of the study |
| A．mothers recognize their children only by sight |
| B．men’s sense of smell developed a long time ago |
| C．strong smells have a great influence on people’s senses |
| D．smells are helpful for mothers to spot their children |
| A．supply some entertainment to us |
| B．show women’s sharper senses than men’s |
| C．inform the readers of some knowledge |
| D．call for volunteers for the experiment |

D
Hawking has left much for Chinese to think about.
British physicist Stephen hawking, possible the world’s most famous scientist after Albert Einstein, gave lectures in Zhejiang and Beijing in August.
An illness left him unable to move any part of his body except for three fingers. But his continuing efforts in the field of science have made many young people take him as their idol（偶像）.
His books, such as A Brief History of Time, become bestsellers in Chinese bookstores. “Hawking helps people enlarge their horizons and become interested in science,” said Pan Yunhe, president of Zhejiang University.
Indeed, experts don’t think it likely that Hawking’ s lectures and profound（深奧的） ideas will be easily understood by the average person. But he has certainly sowed the seeds of science among many young people.
And the “Hawking fever” caused by his visit has made people ask: How can China produce more top scientists like Hawking?
“Nurturing（培養(yǎng)）top scientists will take as much work to change society as to educate the scientists themselves,” said Zhang Fan. Zhang has studied in the UK since 1999 and will be a second – year student at Trinity College in October.
In Britain, Zhang said, teachers inspire students to have a general understanding of the subjects they are interested in. And they encourage students to develop new ideas, which helps them to nurture their creativity.
In China, the Department of Education has encouraged schools to provide quality education to develop students’ potential（潛力）.
“I hope teachers will pay more attention to helping us use our imaginations and solve problems on our own,” said Lu Jie, a Junior Three student in Sanfan Middle School in Beijing.
63. _________ have made young people take Hawking as their idol.
A. Hawking’ s ongoing devotion to science
B. the fact that Hawking is a famous physicist
C. Hawking’ s lectures in Zhejiang and Beijing
D. the fact that Hawking can just move three fingers
64. In paragraph 4, the underlined word “horizons” means “_________”.
A. one’s knowledge of science B. one’s sight of the subjects
C. the area of one’s knowledge D. the line where earth and sky meet
65. From the passage we learn that _______.
A. Hawking’ s books were not popular in China before his visit
B. most schools in China provide quality education to develop students’ potential
C. to nurture top scientists, teachers should solve all the problems for the students
D. ordinary people in China may find Hawking’ s ideas beyond their comprehension
66. The last three paragraphs mainly tell us_______.
A. students in Sanfan middle school are more imaginative
B. teachers should encourage students to be more creative
C. British students do not work as hard as Chinese students
D. top scientists won’t appear even if schools provide quality education
