Mo Yan’s winning of the 2012 Nobel Prize in Literature shows the world’s recognition of China’s contemporary literature, according to the China Writers
Association.
It also represents the attention drawn to Chinese writers and the international influences of Chinese literature, said an official statement from the organization on Thursday evening.
Mo is the first Chinese national to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. In the statement, the association congratulated Mo Yan on his success and spoke highly of his “outstanding achievements”.

Mo Yan, a pen name for Guan Moye, was born in 1955 and grew up in Gaomi in east China’s Shandong Province.

A large number of women in Western European countries wish that they were born men. The number is said as high as 60% in West Germany.
“Women often wish that they had the same chance as men have, and believe it is still men’s world,” said Dr James Holden, one of the scientists who did the study.
Anne Harper has a very good job for an international oil company. She also believes in “Women’ s Liberation(解放)”.
“I don’t wish that I were a man,” she says, “and I don’t think many women do. But I do wish that people would stop looking down upon us women. At work, for example, we often do the work that men do but get paid less. There are still a lot of jobs that are usually the best ones and open only to men.

Two years ago my grandmother was going to turn 75. My family discussed what was the best way to celebrate. Should we throw her a party? Should we take her on a trip? We remembered that she had tou ched so many people’s lives, and there were so many people for her to consider. Then someone got the idea that we should include everyone in the celebration by turning it into a tribute（献礼）to my grandmother.
We secretly sent out letters to the people in Grandmother’s address book and asked them to send a letter with a memory that they had shared with her. People sent us letters with poems, stories and pictures. The deep feeling that was shared through the response（回应）surprised us. We compiled（编辑）these letters into a memory book and amazed her with it on the morning of her birthday.
The unusual thing about my grandmother’s friends was not the number that she had, but the connection they shared. In many ways this book of friendship was the greatest achievement of my grandmother’s life.
I believe that developing true friendships is one of the most important things that anyone can do in one’s lifetime. It is not a matter of the number of frien ds one has, but the quality of the connection. If one has had at least one true friendship before dying, then one can say one has lived a successful life. I have made many friends and I believe I have begun to develop the same types of friendships my grandmother kept up over her lifetime. I only hope that I will be as successful as she has been.

C. surprised and pleased
D. nervous and excited
60. According to the passage, the author probably agrees that _____.
A. the more friends you have, the better
B. friends are more important than family
C. understanding leads to greater success
D. true friendship is very important to us
61. Which of the following words can best describe the author’s grandmother?
A. Kind.
B. Great.
C. Graceful
D. Pleasant D
I’ve reported about tigers on the news, however, nothing could have prepared me fo r what I found in India. I didn’t know what to expect, so when I saw my first tiger in the wild, I was shocked. What a beautiful and powerful creature it is! But they live with a price on their heads — a single tiger skin is worth up to ￡8,000, and their bones possibly more. Another problem is that farmers need to clear a large number of areas of the forest for their cattle. This means deer are losing their living places. As a result, tigers are losing their natural prey, so they end up eating the cattle.
Tigers are not easy to live close to. I met a farmer who had been mauled by one. But despite (尽管) that, he told me everything had its place in the world and he had no right to kill the tiger. He was really kind.
Those who work for the Tigers Forever Project realize that to ensure their survival, tigers don’t only need space. They need space awa y from people.
They are working to stop the conflict (冲突) between tigers and people by separating them. I visited a new town. People had been moved to it from a settlement in the forest. And it really has worked. It has given tigers a better life and better opportunities for the children of the resettled people.
Only 2,500 tigers are now left in the wild in India. Three out of eight tiger sub-species have already disappeared. Tigers that once lived across Asia only survive in 7% of their original living places now.
62. What does the underlined word “mauled” in the third paragraph mean?
A. Hunted.
B. Injured.
C. Frightened.
D. Killed.
63. The following statements are all the factors reducing the population of tigers EXCEPT that .
A. making money drives some people to hunt tigers
B. tigers’ food chain is being destroyed
C. the living places of tigers are disappearing
D. people live far from where tigers live
64. We can infer from the last paragraph that .
A. there are only 2,500 tigers in the wild in India
B. tigers need space far from people
C. if we don’t protect tigers in Asia, they will die out there
D. children are happy to live far from tigers
65. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Expensive tigers.
B. More space for tigers.
C. Tigers and cattle.
D. A kind-hearted farmer.
第二节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

The person behind you constantly kicks the back of your seat. Your talkative seatmate doesn't understand your need for sleep. And the aircraft's bathroom is a total mess. These situations can make even a short flight unbearable. Hopefully you don't cause these unpleasant experiences for others. __66__
Always recline (向后倾斜) your seat slowly. There's nothing worse than suddenly being hit in the knees by the seat in front of you. In addition, don't keep your seat reclined for the entire flight. Always keep it upright during mealtimes. And remember to put it in the upright position before going to the restroom or anytime you leave your seat.
__67__ Wait until the meal is done and all the food trays (盘子) have been collected. It's hard for passengers to stand up to let you pass when they still have their food trays. And when using the bathroom, always clean up after yourself—the next user will be grateful!
Keep your body—and your possessions—to yourself as much as possible so as not to crowd your in-flight seatmate(s). Share the armrest, especially on a long flight. Also, be careful not to kick or push on the seat in front of you.
While some people enjoy chatting with other passengers during a flight, not everyone does. Some people may want to nap, read or work. __68__
If you are traveling with someone and want to chat, keep your voices low. __69__ People can still hear through your headphones if the volume is too high.
When exiting the plane, if others are having trouble with their carryon luggage, help them if you can. If you can't help, wait patiently, and don't push past people to get off the airplane. On your flight, remember the golden rule：__70__ A．Treat others the way you want to be treated!
B．If the conversation seems one-sided, you should notice it.
C．Don't leave your carryon in the aircraft.
D．Instead, you can set an example by following these common airplanene courtesies (礼貌)
E．Avoid going to the bathroom during mealtimes.
F．It is not polite to talk loudly in the aircraft.
G．If using electronic gadgets(小装置), keep the volume down.

Air travel has three advantage over train travel. First, it can save much time. We
can fly from one place to other in a short time, but by train we have to spend more
time. Second, air travel is more comfortable because the plane flies so smooth that
we can have good rest during the trip. Third, the train is crowding sometimes and
we have to sit for a long time, what makes us tired. But train travel also has it’s
own advantages. For an example, traveling by train cost only a little money. Beside,
we can enjoy the view out of the train’s windows.

Dear Peter,
I am very glad that my mother is coming this afternoon by air. But I have to give a lecture and have no time to meet her. I am writing to ask you to meet my mother at the airport at 3:30 for me. As you have never seen her before, I will say something about her to help you recognize her. She is around sixty years old, fat and short, with a long face and gray hair. I have been told she is dressed in a white blouse and brown trousers and she will take a yellow suitcase with her.
I will be grateful to you for your help.
Yours,
Li Hua。
