【題目】Chinese writers seldom win a big prize in the world. One of those prizes is the Hans Christian Andersen Prize, the highest honor in the world that can be given to an author and an illustrator of children's books. No Chinese writer had ever won it, until April 4, 2016, when 62-year-old Cao Wenxuan received the prize. Cao received the honor at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair in Italy.

Patricia Aldana praised Cao’s “deeply humanistic” books. These novels admit that life can be sad for children.

Instilling children with good virtues for the sake of humankind is something that Cao stresses. He said, “It’s time for us to alter our understanding of reading. Books should bring not only joy to young readers, but also have their ideas about life.”

That feature of his works has touched many adults too. “The common choice of the judges, Cao writes beautifully about the lives of children facing great challenges,” said Aldana.

After his success, Cao praised good translation for bringing attention to his work. Chinese children's literature could get high honor in the world if it were correctly translated in a style that could be easily understood, he said.

Other writers, including Jin Bo, have also blamed poor translation as the reason why Chinese literature fails to get honor in the world. Jin was named for the Hans Christian Andersen Prize in 1992, but at that time, he had to translate, in a hurry, several paragraphs from his book to give to the judges. "On one hand, the jury has little knowledge of Chinese authors. On the other hand, it is we ourselves who didn't introduce our work and promote (促進(jìn)) ourselves enough," he said in a class in 2013.

【1】According to the passage, Cao was awarded, because ________.

A. the children in his books are poor

B. he wrote books for children

C. his books are about human kindness

D. he came to the Bologna Children’s Book Fair

【2】According to Cao, reading should ________.

A. change the ideas of children on books

B. help kids kill time gladly

C. bring more joy to children

D. make children think actively about life

【3】The last paragraph suggests that most Chinese writers ________.

A. poorly translate their books into English

B. failed to get to know the judges

C. didn’t try to introduce their books to foreigners

D. didn’t know how to introduce themselves

【答案】

【1】C

【2】D

【3】A

【解析】本文通過中國作家曹文軒首次為中國獲得the Hans Christian Andersen Prize和曾被提名該獎的作家金波，指出中國兒童文學(xué)未能在國際上獲獎的原因是翻譯質(zhì)量不好，如果中國兒童文學(xué)作家的作品能夠被正確地翻譯成一種易于理解的風(fēng)格，那么它將在世界上獲得很高的榮譽。

【1】C

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段第一句Patricia Aldana praised Cao’s “deeply humanistic” books.和第三段第一句Instilling children with good virtues for the sake of humankind is something that Cao stresses.可知，Cao之所以獲獎是因為他的書是關(guān)于人性的善良。故選C。

【2】D

推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中Books should bring not only joy to young readers, but also have their ideas about life.”(書籍不僅能給年輕讀者帶來快樂，也能讓他們對生活有自己的想法。)可知，閱讀應(yīng)該使得孩子們積極思考生活。故答案為D。

【3】A

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段第一句Other writers, including Jin Bo, have also blamed poor translation as the reason why Chinese literature fails to get honor in the world.(包括金波在內(nèi)的其他作家也將翻譯不當(dāng)作為中國文學(xué)未能在世界上獲得榮譽的理由。)可知，最后一段表明，大多數(shù)中國作家沒能很好地把他們的書翻譯成英語。故答案為A。

【題目】閱讀理解
It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.
Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.
This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn't last long.
The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.
The villagers decided that they couldn't just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(殺蟲劑) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.
Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn't been useless. They had been doing an important job---eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.
Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.
（1）From paragraph 1 we learn that the villagers __________.
A.worked very hard for centuries
B.dreamed of having a better life
C.were poor but somewhat pleased
D.lived a different life from their forefathers
（2）Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?
A.The frogs were easy money.
B.They need money to buy medicine.
C.They wanted to please the visitors.
D.The frogs made too much noise.
（3）What might be the cause of the children' s sickness?
A.The crops didn't do well
B.There were too many insects
C.The visitors brought in diseases.
D.There were too many frogs.
（4）What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?
A.Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.
B.Health is more important than money.
C.The harmony（和諧） between man and nature is important.
D.Good old days will never be forgotten.

【題目】閱讀短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。
For anyone still doubting the belief that our emotions influence our physical health, a new study from New Zealand should be able to settle the matter. It reports that the physical wounds of healthy seniors healed more quickly if they wrote about their most upsetting experiences.
This confirms the results of a 2010 study, and extends those findings to cover older adults—a group that is likely to suffer wounds (as from surgery), and one with less access to other ways of lowering tension (such as exercise).
Reported in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, a research team led by the University of Auckland's Elizabeth Broadbent made a study featuring 50 healthy adults ranging in age from 64 to 97. They were asked to write for 20 minutes per day for three consecutive (連續(xù)的) days.
Half were asked to write about the most upsetting experience in their life, describing their deepest thoughts, feelings, and emotions about the events, ideally not previously shared with others. The others were asked to write about their daily activities without mentioning emotions, opinions or beliefs.
Two weeks after the third day of writing, all participants received a standard 4mm skin biopsy (皮下活體組織檢查) on their inner arm. The very tiny wounds caused by the biopsy were photographed regularly over the following days to determine the rate at which they healed.
On the 11th day after the biopsy, the wounds completely healed on 76.2 percent of those who had done the expressive writing. That was true of only 42.1 percent of those who had written about everyday activities.
“The biological and psychological mechanisms (機(jī)體) behind this effect remain unclear,” the researchers wrote, noting that those who had done the expressive writing did not report lower stress levels or fewer depressive symptoms than the others in the control group. Even if they weren't consciously aware of feeling more relaxed or positive, the expressive writing appeared to have caused some sort of bodily reaction—probably involving their immune systems—that hastened their recovery.
（1）What was the difference between the two groups of participants in the study?
A.What they wrote.
B.Where they wrote.
C.When they wrote.
D.How often they wrote.
（2）According to the text, the experiment lasted __________.
A.about three days
B.about a month
C.about two weeks
D.about ten days
（3）The underlined word “hastened” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.
A.speeded
B.showed
C.limited
D.ruined
（4）What would be the best title of the text?
A.Sharing with others can reduce stress.
B.Skin biopsies are likely to cause wounds.
C.Expressive writing heals physical wounds.
D.Upsetting experiences influence our emotions.
