    52._________
    A:catch
    B:come across
    C:run into
    D:bump into

    答案:A
    解析:
    be well-known for keeping to himself意思是“以很少与人来往为大家所熟知”,符合句意。
    come across , run into , bump into在语义上都有某种“偶然性”,意思是“偶然遇见”,不符合句意。particularly difficult to catch意思是“特别难找到他”,符合句意。
    由后面一句话“It came as a complete surprise.”可知,Goetzee觉得这个奖来得很突然。联系上下文,可推测出当Goetzee得知他获得了诺贝尔奖时,他觉得很震惊。D项符合句意。
    此处需要一个名词。like作“喜欢”解时是动词;devote是“奉献”的意思,是动词;attract 是“吸引”的意思,是动词。love既可作动词,也可作名词,因此C为正确答案。
    该句意思是:尽管人们认为很难找到Goetzee,但是评论家一致认为他的作品很容易理解。despite引导的是一种反向对比,主句中有easy,那么该处应是它的反义词difficult。因此A 为正确答案。
    make a breakthrough是固定搭配,意思是“取得突破”。C项符合句意。
    to take one's place是固定说法,是“占据一席之地,跻身于”的意思。C项符合句意。
    这个句子里没有宾语,因此需要一个不及物动词,在这四个动词中,只有“won”既可作及物动词,又可作不及物动词。其他三个词均为及物动词,所以C为正确答案。
    除了deal外,handle , solve和remove后都不跟with。因此A为正确答案。
    该句意思是:在处理这个国家依然存在的暴力、犯罪和种族隔离问题时,他的书能使一般人从内部理解种族隔离制度。“从……角度”常用from。因此D为正确答案。
    cast its shadow on/over是固定说法,是“使不快,(在心理上)投下阴影”的意思。D项符合句意。
    think twice是固定说法,是“再三考虑,慎重思考”的意思。B项符合句意。
    这两个句子意思是:事实上,Coetzee作品中的这种纯洁性似乎也反映在他的个人生活之中。他是一个吃素食的人,他骑车而不开车,并且他也不喝酒。nuirror作动词时,是“反映” 的意思,符合句意。
    从下文“far greater than the things he has given up(比他放弃的东西要多得多)”来看,应选择contributed。该句意思是:但是,他对文学、文化、南非人民所做出的贡献比他放弃的东西要多得多。A项符合句意。
    该句意思是:Goetzee的作品表现了人类的非凡才华。express意思是“表达,表现”,符合句意。

    Medicine Award Kicks off Nobel
    Prize Announcements
    Two scientists who have won praise for research into the growth of cancer cells could be candidates for the Nobel Prize in medicine when the 2008 winners are presented on Monday,kicking off six days of Nobel announcements.
    Australian-born U.S.citizen Elizabeth Blackburn and American Carol Greider have already won a series of medical honors for their enzyme research and experts say they could be among the front-runners for a Nobel.
    Only seven women have won the medicine prize since the first Nobel'Prizes were handed out in 1901 .The last female winner was U .S .researcher Linda Buck in 2004,who shared the prize with Richard Axel.
    Among the pair's possible rivals are Frenchman Pierre Chambon and Americans Ronald Evans and Elwood Jensen,who opened up the field of studying proteins called nuclear hormone receptors.
    As usual,the award committee is giving no hints about who is in the running before presenting its decision in a news conference at Stockholm's Karolinska Institute.
    Alfred Nobel,the Swede who invented dynamite,established the prizes in his will in the categories of medicine,physics,chemistry,literature and peace.The economics prize is technically not a Nobel but a 1968 creation of Sweden's central bank.
    Nobel left few instructions on how to select winners,but medicine winners are typically awarded for a specific breakthrough rather than a body of research.
    Hans Jornvall,secretary of the medicine prize committee,said the 10 million kronor(US$ 1.3 million)prize encourages groundbreaking research but he did not think winning it was the primary goal for scientists.
    “Individual researchers probably don't look at themselves as potential Nobel Prize winners when they're at work,”Jornvall told The Associated Press.“They get their kicks from their research and their interest in how life functions.”
    In 2006,Blackburn,of the University of California,San Francisco,and Greider,of Johns
    Hopkins University in Baltimore,shared the Lasker prize for basic medical research with Jack
    Szostak of Harvard Medical School. Their work set the stage for research suggesting that cancer cells use telomerase to sustain their uncontrolled growth.

    Which was NOT originally one of the Nobel Prizes?
    A: The medicine prize.
    B:.The literature prize.
    C:.The peace prize.
    D: The economics prize.

    答案:D
    解析:
    从短文的前四段可以看出,只有2004年获得诺贝尔医学奖的Linda Buck不在今年的候选人范围内。


    短文的第七段说到,对于如何选拔获奖者诺贝尔并没有多少交代。


    短文的第六段说到,诺贝尔奖在设立时并没有经济学奖项。


    从上下文不难看出,科学家搞研究的主要目的不是为了获奖,他们从其所从事的研究以及生命运行的兴趣中获得很大快感。


    短文的最后一句话表明,研究显示癌细胞利用端粒酶来支持其无限增殖,而这几位科学家的工作为这种研究打下了基础。

    Everyone chases success,but not all of us want to be famous.
    South African writer John Maxwell Coetzee is _______(51)for keeping to himself. When the 63-
    year-old man was named the 2003 Nobel Prize winner for literature,reporters were warned that they would
    find him"particularly difficult to_________(52)".
    Coetzee lives in Australia but spends part of the year teaching at the, University of Chicago.He seemed
    _________(53)by the news that he won the US $1.3 million prize.
    "It came as a complete surprise.I wasn't even aware they were due to make the announcement,"he
    said. His_________(54)of privacy led to doubts as to whether Coetzee will attend prize-giving in Stockholm,
    Sweden,on December 10.But despite being described as_______(55)to track down,the critics agree that
    his writing is easy to get to know.
    Born in Cape Town,South Africa,to an English-speakingfamily,Coetzee_______(56)his break-
    through in 1980 with the novel"Waiting for the Barbarians".He__________(57)hisplace among the
    world's leading writers with two Booker prize victories,Britain's highest honour for novels.He first

    A major theme in his work is South Africa's former apartheid system,which divided whites from blacks.

    prize judging panel said,"Coetzee's work_________(65)the divine spark in man."

    _________(61)
    A:covers
    B:puts
    C:spreads
    D:casts

    答案:D
    解析:
    be well-known for keeping to himself是“以与世隔绝为大家所熟知”的意思,符合文章意思。
    come across , run into , bump mnt。在语义上都有某种“偶然性”,这是主语所指的人无法控制的,不符合句义,因而这种搭配在语义上是错误的。particularly difficult to catch的意思是“特别难找到他,”符合句意。
    寻找正确的答案,常常需要借助上下文提供的信息。上下文常常可以帮助我们做出正确的判断。紧随其后的句子是“It came as a complete surprise."(这个奖来得很突然)。 "shock”跟“surprise”意思很接近,因而“shocked”是正确的答案。
    like作“喜欢”解时是动词,而此处需要的是一个名词。devote是“奉献”的意思,是动词;attract是“吸引”的意思,是动词。因此“love”是正确答案。
    despite引导的是一种反向对比,主句中有easy,那么它的反义词就是difficult。
    make a breakthrough等于break through,是固定搭配。
    to take one' s place这里是“占据一席之地,跻身于”的意思,这是固定的说法。
    这个句子里没有宾语,因此需要一个不及物动词,在这四个动词中,只有“won”既可作及物动词,又可作不及物动词。其他三个词均为及物动词,所以C为最佳答案。
    除了(leal外,handle , solve和remove后都不跟with。
    整个句子说的是:在处理这个国家依然存在的暴力、犯罪和种族隔离问题时,他的书能使一般人从内部理解种族隔离制度。“从······角度”常用from。
    cast its shadow是“使不快;(在心理一上)投下阴影”的意思,是固定的说法。
    think twice是“再三考虑,慎重思考”的意思,这是固定的说法。
    从紧随其后的句子来看,应填入“mirrored”。这两个句子说的是:事实上,Coetzee作品中的这种纯洁性似乎也反映在他的个人生活之中。他是一个吃素食的人,他骑车而不开车,并且他也不喝酒。
    从下文“far greater than the thing he has given up(比他放弃的东西要多得多)”来看,应选择contributed。全句说的是:但是,他对文学、文化、南非人民所作出的贡献比他放弃的东西要多得多。
    tell告诉;say说;inform通知;express表达。结合文意,应选D。

  • 第18题:

    He becomes famous for his coverage of significant events during the war.

    A:usage
    B:baggage
    C:reportage
    D:orphanage

    答案:C
    解析:
    本句意思:他因对战争中的一些重大事件进行的新闻报道而为人所知。coverage意为“新闻报道”,与reportage(新闻报道)意思相近。usage使用,用法;baggage行李,常用a piece of baggage ; orphanage孤儿院。
