三、阅读理解
Guan Moye, better known as Mo Yan, is a Chinese novelist and short story writer. He has been referred to by Donald Morrison of the U.S. news magazine, TIME, as "one of the most famous and widely pirated(盗版) of all Chinese writers". He is best known to Western readers for Red Sorghum(《红高粱家族》), which was later adapted for the film, Red Sorghum. In 2012, Mo was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Mo Yan was born in Gaomi County, Shandong Province. He was 11 years old when the Great Cultural Revolution started, at which time he left school to work as a farmer. At the age of 18, he began to work at a factory. During this period, his access to literature was largely limited to novels.
At the close of the Great Cultural Revolution in 1976, Mo joined the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and began writing. During this period, the works of Chinese literature, as well as translations of foreign authors such as William Faulkner, made an impact on his works. In 1984, he received a literary award from the PLA Magazine, and at the same year he began attending the People's Liberation Army Academy of Art, where he first used the pen name of Mo Yan. "Mo Yan" means "don't speak" in Chinese. He explained that the name came from a warning from his father and mother about not saying what he thought when he was outside. It also relates to the subject matter of his writings.
Mo's first novel was Falling Rain on a Spring Night, published in 1981. Several of his novels were translated into English by Howard Goldblatt, professor of East Asian languages and literature, at the University of Notre Dame. He published his first novella(中篇小说), A Transparent Radish, in 1985, and released Red Sorghum in 1986, making him a nationally recognized novelist. Five years later, he obtained a master's degree in literature from Beijing Normal University.

A. his achievements B. his education

三、
答案:1-4 AADB
解析:1.主旨大意题。通读第一段可知,第一段主要介绍了莫言的成就。故选A。
2.细节理解题。根据第三段最后三句"Mo Yan" means "don't speak" in Chinese. He explained that the name came from a warning from his father and mother about not saying what he thought when he was outside. It also relates to the subject matter of his writings.(“莫言”在汉语中的意思是“不要说话”。他解释说,这个名字来自他父母的一个警告,即在外面时不要说出自己的想法。这也与他的写作主题有关。)可知,“莫言”这个笔名的灵感来自他的父母。故选A。
3.细节理解题。根据最后一段最后两句He published his first novella(中篇小说), A Transparent Radish, in 1985, and released Red Sorghum in 1986, making him a nationally recognized novelist. Five years later, he obtained a master's degree in literature from Beijing Normal University.(他1985年出版了他的第一部中篇小说《透明的萝卜》,1986年出版了《红高粱》,这使他成为全国知名的小说家。五年后,他获得了北京师范大学文学硕士学位。)可知,莫言1991年获得文学硕士学位。故选D。
4.推理判断题。根据第一段首句Guan Moye, better known as Mo Yan, is a Chinese novelist and short story writer.(管谟业,更广为人知的是莫言,是一位中国小说家和短篇小说作家。)以及下文的具体介绍可知,文章主要介绍了莫言的个人经历以及所取得的成就,所以它是一篇传记。故选B。brochure资料手册;survey调查(报告);letter信。
