    Man of Few Words

    Everyone chases success,but not all of us want to be famous.
    South African writer John Maxwell Coetzee is _______(51)for keeping to himself. When the 63-
    year-old man was named the 2003 Nobel Prize winner for literature,reporters were warned that they would
    find him"particularly difficult to_________(52)".
    Coetzee lives in Australia but spends part of the year teaching at the, University of Chicago.He seemed
    _________(53)by the news that he won the US $1.3 million prize.
    "It came as a complete surprise.I wasn't even aware they were due to make the announcement,"he
    said. His_________(54)of privacy led to doubts as to whether Coetzee will attend prize-giving in Stockholm,
    Sweden,on December 10.But despite being described as_______(55)to track down,the critics agree that
    his writing is easy to get to know.
    Born in Cape Town,South Africa,to an English-speakingfamily,Coetzee_______(56)his break-
    through in 1980 with the novel"Waiting for the Barbarians".He__________(57)hisplace among the
    world's leading writers with two Booker prize victories,Britain's highest honour for novels.He first
    _______(58)in 1983 for the Life and Times of Michael K and his second title came in 1999 for Disgrace.
    A major theme in his work is South Africa's former apartheid system,which divided whites from blacks.
    _______(59)with the problems of violence,crime and racial division that still exist in the country,his
    books have enabled ordinary people to understand apartheid_________(60)within.
    "I have always been more interested in the past than the future,"he said in a rare interview.
    "The past________(61)its shadow over the present.I hope I have made one or two people think
    _______(62)about whether they want to forget the past completely."In fact this purity in his writing
    seems to be_________(63)in his personal life.Coetzee is a vegetarian,a cyclist rather than a motorist and
    he doesn't drink alcohol.But what he has________(64)to literature,culture and the people of South Africa is far greater than the things he has given up."In looking at weakness and failure in life,"the Nobel
    prize judging panel said,"Coetzee's work_________(65)the divine spark in man."

    _________(61)
    A:covers
    B:puts
    C:spreads
    D:casts

    答案:D
    解析:
    be well-known for keeping to himself是“以与世隔绝为大家所熟知”的意思,符合文章意思。
    come across , run into , bump mnt。在语义上都有某种“偶然性”,这是主语所指的人无法控制的,不符合句义,因而这种搭配在语义上是错误的。particularly difficult to catch的意思是“特别难找到他,”符合句意。
    寻找正确的答案,常常需要借助上下文提供的信息。上下文常常可以帮助我们做出正确的判断。紧随其后的句子是“It came as a complete surprise."(这个奖来得很突然)。 "shock”跟“surprise”意思很接近,因而“shocked”是正确的答案。
    like作“喜欢”解时是动词,而此处需要的是一个名词。devote是“奉献”的意思,是动词;attract是“吸引”的意思,是动词。因此“love”是正确答案。
    despite引导的是一种反向对比,主句中有easy,那么它的反义词就是difficult。
    make a breakthrough等于break through,是固定搭配。
    to take one' s place这里是“占据一席之地,跻身于”的意思,这是固定的说法。
    这个句子里没有宾语,因此需要一个不及物动词,在这四个动词中,只有“won”既可作及物动词,又可作不及物动词。其他三个词均为及物动词,所以C为最佳答案。
    除了(leal外,handle , solve和remove后都不跟with。
    整个句子说的是:在处理这个国家依然存在的暴力、犯罪和种族隔离问题时,他的书能使一般人从内部理解种族隔离制度。“从······角度”常用from。
    cast its shadow是“使不快;(在心理一上)投下阴影”的意思,是固定的说法。
    think twice是“再三考虑,慎重思考”的意思,这是固定的说法。
    从紧随其后的句子来看,应填入“mirrored”。这两个句子说的是:事实上,Coetzee作品中的这种纯洁性似乎也反映在他的个人生活之中。他是一个吃素食的人,他骑车而不开车,并且他也不喝酒。
    从下文“far greater than the thing he has given up(比他放弃的东西要多得多)”来看,应选择contributed。全句说的是:但是,他对文学、文化、南非人民所作出的贡献比他放弃的东西要多得多。
    tell告诉;say说;inform通知;express表达。结合文意,应选D。

    作者说休斯的诗中有“欺骗性的面纱”,是指其诗中掩藏着他创作时所投注的深思熟虑。从第二段“Yet an analysis of his dramatic monologues and other poems reveals that his poetry was carefully and artfully crafted.”可知,尽管休斯自称写诗时从不准备,自由随性,但其实是经过了精细的雕琢的。

    Practice 2  President Bill Clinton's My Wife shows US the progress of a remarkable American, who, through his own enormous energies and efforts, made the unlikely journey from Hope, Arkansas, to the White House—a journey fueled by an impassioned interest in the political process which manifested itself at every stage of his life:in college, working as an intern for Senator William Fulbright; at Oxford, becoming part of the Vietnam War protest movement;at Yale Law School, campaigning on the grassroots level for Democratic candidates;back in Arkansas, running for Congress, attorney general, and governor.  We see his career shaped by his resolute determination to improve the life of his fellow citizens, all unfaltering commitment to civil rights, and an exceptional Understanding of the practicalities of political life.  We come to understand the emotional pressures of his youth—born after his Father's death;caught in the dysfunctional relationship between his feisty, nurturing mother and his abusive stepfather, whom he never ceased to love and whose name he took;drawn to the brilliant, compelling Hillary Rodham, whom he was determined to marry;passionately devoted, from her infancy, to their daughter, Chelsea, and to the entire。Experience of fatherhood; slowly and painfully beginning to comprehend how his early denial of pain led him at times into damaging patterns of behavior.

    正确答案: 【参考译文】
    克林顿总统的《我的生活》一书揭示的是一个出类拔萃的美国人的成长历程,他通过自己的巨大能力和努力,走完了从阿肯色州荷普市通往白宫的这一看起来不大可能完成的历程。在此历程中,他对政治仕途充满了激情,这在他人生的每一个阶段都显露无遗:上大学时,他作为实习生为威廉·富布赖特参议员工作;在牛津大学,他参加了反对越战的抗议运动;在耶鲁大学法学院,他在基层为民主党总统候选人助选;毕业后回到阿肯色州,他先后竞选国会议员、州检察长和州长。
    我们看到他的政治生涯的形成靠的是他为改善同胞生活的坚定不移的决心,致力于民权的毫不动摇的意志,以及对政治生活实际状况不同凡响的解读。
    我们了解到他青少年时代在感情上所承受的压力:他是一个遗腹子;童年时代饱受家庭失和之苦:母亲脾气暴躁,但对他关爱备至,而继父动辄恶语相加,但他一直爱着他的继父且随了继父的姓氏;他被聪明绝顶、令人心仪的希拉里·罗德汉姆所吸引,决心要娶她为妻;他对他俩的女儿切尔西从小到大始终充满了父爱;他开始慢慢地、痛苦地意识到他早年拒不承认所受的痛苦有时导致他做出有损人格的错事。
