(2018·陕西宝鸡检测)(CHINA DAILY Oct. 20th, 2016) It doesn’t seem that U．S. singer Bob Dylan has much in common with literary mavens(内行) like Ernest Hemingway and T．S. Elliot. But, last week, these three figures became forever bonded(黏合) by the Nobel Prize in Literature.
This year’s prize makes Dylan the first American since Toni Morrison in 1993 to win the title. At the same time, the surprising announcement has also burned a firestorm of discussion around the globe.
Influential U．S. writer Jodi Picoult joked that she might now deserve a Grammy(格莱美奖). And well－known British－Indian novelist Hari Kunzru lamented(悲叹) on social media by saying：“This feels like the lamest Nobel winner since they gave it to Obama for not being Bush.”
Dylan’s new status—a musician awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature—to a degree challenges tradition. However, this is by no means his first prize in his writing talents. Back in 2008, the Pulitzer Prize jury(普利策奖评委会) awarded Dylan a special award “for his profound impact on popular music and American culture, marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power”. To this point, it could be argued that what the Nobel Committee is doing is simply strengthening Dylan’s unshakable standing in the world of literature.
The words behind Dylan’s songs address social issues and have been spread from generation to generation. Protest songs like Blowing in the Wind(1962) were the anthems(圣歌) of anti－war and civil rights movements in the 1960s U．S. Densely poetic and image－rich songs such as Mr. Tambourine Man(1965) pushed the folk－rock movement. And even today, many of Dylan’s songs are still relevant and streamed regularly by people all over the world.
【解题导语】 曾获得奥斯卡奖、普利策奖和格莱美奖等多项大奖的美国歌手鲍勃·迪伦，以其充满诗意的音乐作品又获得了诺贝尔文学奖，这也使他成为名副其实的跨界之王。
1．Why has Bob Dylan’s winning the Nobel Prize caused a global discussion?

C．Because he won a special award from the Pulitzer Prize jury in 2008.
D．Because he is the first singer who won the Nobel Prize in Literature.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段第一句Dylan’s new status—a musician awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature—to a degree challenges tradition.可知，美国歌手鲍勃·迪伦获得诺贝尔文学奖这件事引起全球性的热议，是因为他的歌手身份，故选D项。
2．What is Hari Kunzru’s attitude to Bob Dylan’s winning the Nobel Prize?

(2018·西宁检测)If you choose only to complain and escape from a misfortune, it will always follow you wherever you go. But if you decide to be strong, the hardship will turn out to be fortune on which new hopes will arise.
In an accident，a boy lost both his arms and his father who was the main source of support for the family. Since then, he has had to depend on the arms of his younger brother. For the sake of taking care of him, his younger brother became his shadow, never leaving him alone for years. Except for writing with his toes, he was completely unable to do anything in his life.
As the two brothers grew up together, they had their share of problems and they would often quarrel. Then one day, his younger brother wanted to leave, living his own life, as many normal people do. So he was heart－broken and didn’t know what to do.
A similar misfortune befell a girl, too. One night, her mother who suffered from chronic mental illness disappeared. Her father went out to look for her mother, leaving her alone at home. She tried to prepare meals for her parents, only to overturn the kerosene light on the stove, resulting in a fire which took her hands away.
Though her elder sister who was studying in another city showed her willingness to take care of her, she was determined to be completely independent. At school, she always studied hard. Most of all she learned to be self－reliant.
One day, the boy and the girl were both invited to appear on a television interview program. The boy told the TV host about his uncertain future at being left on his own, whereas the girl was full of enthusiasm for her life. They both were asked to write something on a piece of paper with their toes. The boy wrote: My younger brother’s arms are my arms; while the girl wrote: Broken wings, flying heart.
