Prize for LiteratureThe award was announced in Stockholm on ThursdayMsMller, 56, immigrated to Germany from Romania in 1987She is the first German writer to win the Nobel in literature since Gnter Grass in xx and the 13th winner writing in German since the prize was first given in 1901She is the 12th woman to win the literature prizeBut unlike previous winners like Doris Lessing and VSNaipaul, MsMller is relatively unknown outside of literary circles in Germany“I am very surprised and still cannot believe it,” MsMuller said in a statement delivered by her publisher in Germany“I cant 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, MsMller, wearing all black and sitting on a leopard-print chair, appeared nervous with all the cameras flashing on herWhen asked what it meant that her name would now be mentioned in the same breath as German greats like Thomas Mann and Heinrich Bll, MsMller remained philosophical“I am now nothing better and Im nothing worse,” she said, adding: “My inner thing is writingThats what I can hold on to”Earlier in the day, at a news conference in Stockholm, Peter England, secretary of the Swedish Academy, said MsMller 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 Mller grew up in”The awards ceremony is planned for Dec10 in StockholmAs the winner, MsMller will receive about $14 million36According to the passage, all of the following statements are wrong EXCEPT that_Ashe moved to Germany

prizeCshe had expected to win the prize eagerly for longDshe thought she was just an unknown writer in this field38By saying “I am now nothing better and Im nothing worse”, MsMller meant that _Ashe thought highly of herself Bshe thought nothing of herselfCshe was very modest Dshe was no worse than the other German writers39We can infer from the passage that _AMllers honored works are based on her own experienceBmost of MsMllers novels are unsuccessful worksCMsMller is feeling much better after she bees the award winnerDMsMller wins the prize because shes described the Germans life vividly40Whats the best title of the passage?AThe Biography of Herta MllerBHerta Mller Wins Literature Nobel PrizeCHerta Mller, a Great Successful Romanian WriterDThe Great Awards Ceremony for Herta MllerBUSOpen ChampionshipsThe US Open has been in existence for more than 120 yearsThe first tournament was held in 1881 at the Newport CasinoIt was called the US National Singles ChampionshipEntry

gameChow the four international tennis tournaments get their present namesDwhy the tennis tournaments are held in these four countriesCI cant remember a winter being as cold as this in Pennsylvania, but Im sure there were colder daysEven though the daylight hours are growing longer minute by minute, its easy to find an excuse not to go out unless you absolutely must, but then again I often have to push myself to acplish thingsPeople I speak to have been in all kinds of nasty moodsThey say theyre “under the weather,” not feeling good about this time of yearAs I stood outside with my two dogs yesterday, it was so cold that my nose and face felt frozen and my ears were sittingOf course, that doesnt matter to Ricky and LucyThey have a routine they must go through to find just the fighting spot no matter how cold or hot it isSo I waitBut this time it was differentAs cold as it was, I suddenly was excited thinking about how wonderful this extreme cold really wasThen the sun broke through the clouds and memories of summers extremely hot days flashed through my mindI could remember standing in the heat of the afternoon, with sweat pouring down my brow and the hot, burning sun against my faceI reminded myself then and there that in the cold of the winter I would wish I had this heatI was grateful for the extremesWithout the extremes in my life, I would never appreciate the days when things were just rightWithout the extremes, life would be boringIts being pushed to one of the extremes that makes us appreciate the middle moreHealth challenges remind us that we need to pay more attention to how we liveFinancial extremes remind us that when things go smoothly its also time to save for raining daysIve e to the conclusion that all too often I find a reason not to be happy with where I am at that momentWhether its hot or cold, good health or bad, in the money or out of it, I always want it to be differentIm tired of being “Under the Weather!”46What is the authors attitude towards the extremes in life?AGratefulBCritical CNegativeDUnconcerned47That day the writer waited in the terrible cold because _Ahis dogs wanted to huntBhe wanted to face the cold bravelyChis dogs had

_Ahappiness cannot be gained by plaintsBthings will be different whatever the situation isChappiness will fail to e to you if you can find a reasonDhe is disappointed with his present situation50What is the best title for this passage?AFollow the Routine BTwo Extremes in LifeCChanges Should be ExpectedDWeather InformationDEveryone bees a little more forgetful as they get older, but mens minds decline more than womens, according to the results of a worldwide surveyCertain differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains: men are better at dealing with mental images （useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial （三维空间） skills）, while women tend to excel （擅长） at recalling information from their brains files （helpful with language skills and remembering the locations of objects）Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline people experience as they age, but the results have been mixedSome studies found more age-related decline in men than in women, while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental declineThose results could be improper because the studies involved older people, and women live longer than menThe men tested are the survivors, “so theyre the ones that may not have shown such cognitive （认知的） decline,” said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in EnglandPeople surveyed pleted four tasks that tested sex-related cognitive skills: matching an object to its rotated （旋转的） form, matching lines shown from the same angle, typing as many words in a particular category as possible in the given time, eg“objects usually colored gray”, and recalling the location of objects in a line drawingThe first two were tasks at which men usually excel; the latter are typically dominated by womenWithin each age group studied, men and women performed better in their separate categories on averageAnd though performance declined with age for both sexes, women showed obviously less decline than men overall51The underlined word “inherent” in the second paragraph means _Aoriginal BnativeCnaturalDabsolute52Which of the following tasks are men better at?AMatching lines shown from the same angleBTyping as many words in a particular category as possibleCRecalling the location of objects in a line drawingDRecalling information from their brains files53Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?AMen excel at typing words in a particular category in the given timeBWomen excel at dealing with mathematic problemsCMen do better than women when it es to learning EnglishDWomen stand out at remembering peoples names54What important factor affects the correctness of the research results?APeople tested e from all over the worldBMen live longer than womenCNot enough old men were testedDThe researchers got their results mixed55The author aims to tell us that _Athe survey on humans mind decline was done recentlyBmens minds decline more with ageCeveryone bees a little more forgetful as they get olderDwomens minds perform better than mens第卷（非选择题 共35分）第三部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节: 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）When my friends went
