Question

【題目】The breaking news of Mo Yan's Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday evening soon aroused public curiosity of the 57yearold Chinese writer: Why was it him that was favored by the Swedish Academy?

Born in 1955 into a rural family，Mo dropped out of school and became a farmer when he was a teenager．He joined the military and devoted himself to writing after the Cultural Revolution （1966－1976）．

Less than half an hour after the announcement，Mo's works turned to soldout status at China's major online book sellers．One lucky buyer wrote in an online comment: “Rushed to purchase，but to my shame，I have not read any of his novels．”

Although Mo was entitled one of the top domestic literature awards before the Nobel Prize，he is not the most popular novelist in China，in either the book market or in reputation．

Mo's novel “Big Breasts & Wide Hips，” translated by Howard Goldblatt，tells a story of a mother who struggled and suffered hardship and intertwined fates with Chinese people in the 20th century．His more recent work “Frog” more directly criticized China's onechild family policy，which helped control the country's population explosion but also brought tragedies to rural residents in the past 60 years．

“I think the reason why I could win the prize is because my works present lives with unique Chinese characteristics，and they also tell stories from a viewpoint of common human beings，which is above differences of nations and races，” Mo said on Thursday evening to Chinese journalists．Mo also said many folk arts originated from his hometown，such as clay sculpture，paper cuts，raditional new yearpaintings，have inspired and influenced his novels．

With more Chinese writers like Mo，the world could learn a more real China．Perhaps，this is another reason for the Swedish Academy's choice．

【1】What can we conclude from the second paragraph?

A．Mo's life experiences． B．Mo's family life．

C．Mo devoted himself to writing． D．Mo had a gift for writing．

【2】What can we infer from the passage?

B．Mo was the top novelist in China before he won the Nobel Prize．

C．Mo's novels have attracted many people to read．

D．Mo's novels are all based on his daily life．

【3】Which of the following have no effect on Mo's novels according to the passage?

A．Clay sculpture． B．Paper cuts．

C．Folk arts． D．Beijing opera．

【4】According to the passage，we know that________．

A．Big Breasts & Wide Hips' leading role is one happy mother

B．Big Breasts & Wide Hips criticized China's onechild family policy

C．Frog came out earlier than Big Breasts & Wide Hips
