Making the announcement, Peter Englund, permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy,
called Alice Munro a “master of the contemporary short story”.
“She has taken an art form, the short story, which has tended to live a little bit in the shadow
of the novel, and she has cultivated it almost to perfection,” he said.
The 82-year-old, whose books include Dear Life and dance of the Happy Shades, is only the
13th woman to win the Nobel Prize for literature since its start in 1901.
“I knew I was in the running, yes, but I never thought I would win,” Munro told Canadian media.
Alice Munro: “I would r eally hope that this would make people see the short story as an
important art form.”
Munro, who began writing in her teenage years, published her first story, The Dimensions of
a Shadow, in 1950.
irst collection, and it went on Dance of the Happy Shades,published in 1968, was Munro’s f
to win Canada’s highest literary prize, the Governor General’s Award.
In 2009, she won the Man Booker International Prize for her entire body of work — but she
downplayed her achievements.
“I think maybe I was successful in doing this because I didn’t have any other talents,
once said in an interview.
BBC Arts Editor Will Gompertz said Munro had been “at the very top of her game since she started”．
of what it is to be “Very few writers are her equal,” he said, adding “She gets to the heart
human”．
The award “probably won’t make a commercial difference” to the author, he added, but it “makes a huge difference to how her work will be viewed in historical terms”．
een a terrible, terrible omission “If she hadn’t won it before she died, I think it would have b
(遗漏).”　
Often compared to Anton Chekhov, she is known for writing about the human spirit and a
regular theme of her work is the dilemma faced by young girls growing up and coming to terms
with living in a small town.
Several of her stories have also been adapted for the screen, including The Bear Came over
the Mountain.

One evening last summer, when I asked my 17-year-old son, Ray, for help with dinner, his

response surprised me, “What’s a colander (
I could only blame myself. Nobody’s hands went in the sauce except my own. But that night,
as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what
else I hadn’t prepared Ray for.
As parents, while we focus on our child’s confidence and character, we perhaps don’t consider that we are also raising someone’s future roommate, boyfriend, husband, or father. I

wanted to know that I’d raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, “What’s
dinner?” So I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home economics course. I was
delighted to find that he didn’t say no.
For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine. One day, as his tomato sauce reduced on
the stove, he washed and seasoned a chicken for roasting. Then he rolled out the piecrust (馅饼)
and filled it with apples, all while listening to my explanation on the importance of preheating an
oven.
I knew that he would rather have been shooting hoops I the driveway than learning to mend
socks with his mother — he tried to beg off sewing lessons, even though I insisted that one day,

mom,” he told me one day.
Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more important, he realizes there’s
nothing masculine (男子气的) about being helpless. Not only can he make his own dinner, he can
make it for his family, too. That’s what I call a man.
50. Hearing her son’s question, the author felt _______.

C. disappointed

bold (大胆) question that the city of Can food be free, fresh and easily accessible? That’s the
Seattle is hoping to answer with a new experime ntal farm not far from the city’s downtown area that will have fruits and vegetables for anyone to harvest this fall.
On Beacon Hill, just south of central Seattle, landscape developers and a few affordable-food
advocates are building an eatable food forest. Everything grown in the area will be eatable. And
it’ll be open around the clock to anyone who wants to come and pick some fresh blueberries or
pears.
Organizers shared with National Geographic a list of the crop offerings. Many are expected:
apples, berries and tomatoes. But others are pretty far-out. A large Asian community in the area
suggested things like Asian pears and honeyberries. A European influence led to the planting of
medlar trees.
The concept is modeled on permaculture, a design system and school of thought emphasizing
the use of renewable nature resources and the enrichment of local ecosystems. Offering people
free, fresh food is one motivation, but making the land useful and ecologically enriched is the
larger goal.
That being said, some potential problems come to mind. What if all of one fruit is gone the
ripe? What if people pick things too early and spoil the potential for
first weekend when it’s
everyone?
out what Organizers aren’t concerned about those questions. “We’ve had many discussions ab would happen if someone comes and picks all the blueberries,”　
says Margarett Harrison, the
landscape architect designing the project.” But that’s been considered as a good thing. We plant more.”
Anything related to agriculture and good food — in large quantities — takes time. Most of
the trees won’t be mature enough for a few more years. But a few decades could make the area
impressively productive.
the kind of idealism that anyone who likes to eat fresh things Idealistic? Perhaps. But it’s
from time to time can get behind. And that’s the type of motivation that organizers hope will keep going.
54. Paragraph 3 is mainly about _______.
A. the crops that will be harvested this fall
B. people’s attitude towards the project
C. which communities live in the area
D. how the food selection was made
55. What’s Margarett Hrrison’s attitude towards the potential problems the forest may face?
A. Concerned.
B. Cautious.
C. Optimistic.
D. Uninterested
56. The text is mainly about ______.
A. Seattle’s free food experiment
B. what the future of forests will be
C. agricultural development in Seattle
D. how to keep in harmony with nature

As a contestant on The X Factor, 13-year-old Rachel Crow seemed to have exactly what it
took to win: strong praise from judges, a beautiful voice, and a lovable personality. Then she was
voted off.
When the results were read, Rachel broke down, sobbing and screaming for her mom, who
had to rush onstage to comfort her.
It was a humiliating moment for Rachel, but a great moment for The X Factor — just the
kind of drama TV audiences love.
Some fans said Rachel’s
breakdown proved she was too young to be on the show. And
children
though there was nothing exceptional about someone Rachel’s age being on reality TV —
and teens appear in everything from Dance Moms to The Biggest Loser —Rachel’s meltdown did
raise an important question: Should kids be on reality TV at all? Many psychologists are saying
“No”．
It’s well known that early fame can be harmful and that many former child stars struggle as
adults. Being followed by photographers 24/7 and having everything they do reported in
newspapers and blogs can be hard for young people to deal with. It can make them feel as though
their worth depends on what others say. Reality TV takes the pressure of early fame to a whole
new level. Kids on reality TV don’t play characters. They play themselves. Cameras expose their
most private moments for our entertainment.
Laws exist that protect child actors, making sure they go to school and limiting the hours they
can work. In many states, though, these laws do not apply to kids on reality TV, because they are
not considered actors.
Dangers aside, there’s
no doubt that reality shows do offer exciting opportunities and the
potential to make money. A 7-year-old girl who attends a TV show earns about $36,000 per season.
After competing on The X Factor, One Direction went on to become international stars. Even
Rachel made out OK. She released an album and voices a character in the movie Rio 2. And she
she told reporters after
not feeling great, but I’ll be fine,”　
showed resilience(适应力). “I’m
breakdown. “I’m Rachel still.”　
57. The underlined word “humiliating” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “ _______
A. exciting
B. precious
C. important
D. embarrassing
58. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that some of Rachel’s fans thought that she _______.
A. was not good enough
B. deserved better results
C. should have been much stronger
D. shouldn’t have been on the show
59. Paragraph 5 is mainly about _______.
A. how kids should deal with pressure
B. why early fame can be harmful to kids
C. the importance of kids being themselves
D. what some former child stars have achieved
60. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Kids should look for more challenges.
B. Reality shows may change a kid forever.
C. Reality shows can benefit kids in some ways.
D. Kids can earn little money from reality shows. 第二节（共5小题；每小题

Tips on How to Think Positive
61. ______________________
Your thoughts that consist of mental images and self talk are on automatic mode (状态). When you see, hear, smell or touch something, your mind comes out with its mental representation. You will then find yourself feeling something. To develop positive thinking, become aware of your feelings by checking them from time to time. Ask yourself what you were thinking and what caused the thought. Take note of what you were saying to yourself. 62. ________________________
How often do you say things such as
“It happens every time
” when something doesn
’t t
out right? What do you say to yourself when you have made a mistake? Do you say things like, “Stupid of me. Here I go again?
” Another tip on how to think positive is to catch yourself saying
all these negative things. Demand your inner self to stop. You can say something such as, I am much better than that. The next time I will …”
63. _________________________
Your beliefs shape your thoughts. If you believe you can ’t do something or if you have conditioned your mind to see unpleasantness in people or situations, you will see and experience them in your life. You can change your limiting and negative beliefs by challenging and questioning them. You can also do so by re-framing things or changing your view.
A.Change your beliefs.
B.Practice healthy eating.
C.Live a healthy lifestyle.
D.Be aware of your thoughts.
E.Change your focus of attention.
F.
Replace negative self talks with positive ones.。
