Passage2
(2022·江苏苏州·九年级期末) Growing up in Tanzania, Abdulrazak Gurnah never thought of the possibility that he might one day be a writer. “I never thought about that,” he said in an interview. “It wasn’t something you could say as you were growing up, ‘I want to be a writer.’ “He thought he would become “something useful, like an engineer.”

Those small thoughts, the habit of writing to understand and record his own loneliness, finally became his first novel, then nine more — works that describe the pain of colonialism (殖民) and war. “The key thing that helps the whole experience of writing for me was this idea of losing your place in the world, “he said.
On October 7, 2021, Gurnah was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, widely seen as the most famous literary award in the world. His works talked about refugees(难民) and their living conditions. These books help us learn more about differences in culture and countries.

“Have you ever heard Louis say good morning and good night to us, as the others do ”
“Since you mention it, I never have,” said the husband. “Goodness! What are you getting at Do you wish me to believe that I have a son who is dumb in any way This would worry me. I want everything to go well in my family life. Fatherhood is hard. I do not want the added stress of having a dumb child.”
“Well,” said the wife, “I’ve been watching Louis recently. I think the little guy can’t talk. I’ve never heard him make one sound. I think he came into the world lacking (缺失) a voice. If he had a voice, he’d use it, same as the others do.”

There must be some way out of this difficulty. After all, my son is Trumpeter Swan; he should have a voice like a trumpet (小号). But first I will test him to make certain that what his mother says is true.”

Passage6
(2022·北京昌平·九年级期末) When I was growing up, I had an old neighbour named Doctor Gibbs. He didn’t look like any other doctor I’d ever known. He never shouted to us for playing in his yard, and was always very kind.
When Doctor Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was planting trees. He had interesting opinions about planting trees. He hardly watered his new trees, which was quite different from others. Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants overprotected them because it made them grow weaker. He said, “Without enough water, they will have to grow deeper roots in order to search for water themselves. Having deeper roots helps them be stronger and live longer.” Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant about 25 years ago. They were all tall and strong.
I planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago. Two years of caring for these trees meant they grew up weak. Hard environment seemed to benefit Doctor Gibbs’ trees in ways comfort never could.
When my son was a little baby, my wife and I often wished that his life would be easy. But now I’ve been thinking that it’s time to change our thought. I know he is going to meet with difficulties. There’s always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is expecting him to have deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, he won’t be beaten.
20.Why did Doctor Gibbs hardly water his new trees
A.He was careless and didn’t like taking care of trees. B.He was too busy in saving lives to water them often.
C.He believed overprotecting them made them weaker. D.He thought it was enough to give the best wishes to trees.
