Chinese writer Can Xue, along with Japanese author Haruki Murakami, was reportedly named as the fourth-ranked candidate(候选人)to have the highest chance of winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2019.
Can, whose real name is Deng Xiaohua, was born in Changsha, Hunan in 1953. Not raised as a writer, she spent almost 20 years while being a worker, tailor and medical practitioner (从业者).Yet she never gave up on her passion, and in 1985 published her first novel Yellow Mud Street. Like her other works, it made use of symbolism. The book became known as the autobiography of her inner world. Such a work was not easily accepted or understood by Chinese readers during that period. But Can never stopped pursuing her own style.
Other representative works include Old Floating Cloud and The Barefoot Doctor. Some have been translated in other languages, while others have been selected as textbooks at world-class universities in the US and Japan. Her novel The Last Lover has been honored with the Neustadt International Prize for Literature in US, widely considered a prelude award for the Nobel.
Sharing a stylistic similarity with Franz Kafka, Can has been called the "Chinese Kafka" by permanent Nobel Literature Committee judge and renowned sinologist Goran Malmqvist. Malmqvist even believed Can could achieve more than Kafka, as she has already created more than 7 million words of literary composition.
Can responded she was unworthy of that level of praise, and she is just standing on Kafka's shoulders.
Though not understood by many Chinese, Can still writes in a way that combines Western and Chinese culture. But Can said many Western readers thought her works novel enough, as she praised the virtues of introducing Chinese culture to the West.
4. When did Can Xue publish her first novel
A. In 1953 B. In 1973. C. In 1985. D. In 2019.
5. Which of her works won a prize for literature in America
A. Old Floating Cloud. B. The Last Lover.
C. The Barefoot Doctor. D. Yellow Mud Street.
6. Why has Can Xue been called the "Chinese Kafka"
A. Her works made use of symbolism.
B. She introduced Chinese culture to the West.
C. She won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2019.
D. Her works shared a similar style with Franz Kafka.
7. What word can describe Can Xue best according to the text
A. Modest B. Passive. C. Mean. D. Generous.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A

The language Centers first Trivia Night tested students' knowledge on different languages and their histories last Friday at Douglass commons.
"We have decided to conduct this event when the weather is bad so that students who have nowhere to go and stay on campus can come and find a comfortable shelter during a cold winter day," Language Center Director, Teresa Valdez said. According to Valdez, the idea for Trivia night came a year ago from a junior and team-member called Elizabeth de Los Reyes. The event engaged students' interest in languages and showed the high-quality services that the Language Center provides.
Participants competed in small groups that each represented a different language and country. There were five teams in total: Russia, China, Japan, Spain and France. The competition consisted of four rounds with each round consisting of three questions relating to the following topics literature, language, geography, culture and history.
After a few warm-up questions about how people greet each other in different languages, what continent Turkey is found in, and who is the first man to fly to the moon, the questions became increasingly difficult. Each round offered an increasing amount of points a team could receive. The final question was worth 20 points. If a team did not answer it correctly, the points were taken from the total.
In the meantime, students enjoyed pizza, snacks, and drinks while sharing their linguistic (语言的) interest. Most of the participants knew two or three languages. Others knew more, such as first-year Bartek Jezierski from Poland, who can speak English, Polish, German, Spanish, and Russian.
The winners from first to third place were France, Japan and Russia respectively. All five teams were given some prizes—a blue shopping bag, a cup and stuffed toys. However, students believed the most important prize of the evening was the process of the competition—how students from diverse backgrounds and cultures were able to participate in a friendly competition, and shared their mutual (相互的) love of languages.
8. What is one of the purposes of Trivia Night？
A. To attract students to learn languages.
B. To help the students suffering from coldness.
C. To collect opinions from the students on its services.
D. To select the best students for the Language center.
9. How many questions were there in the competition in total？
A. 3 B. 4. C. 12. D. 20.
10. Which of the following can best describe the atmosphere of the competition？
A. Quiet. B. Relaxing. C. romantic. D. Depressing.
11. What did students value most in the competition？
A. Some snacks and drinks.
B. Various prizes for winners.
C. The course of the competition.
D. The services provided by the language center.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是说明文。主要介绍了国家语言中心举行的Trivia Night比赛，为各国的学生学校语言提供了便利条件，并且在比赛中增强学生的学习语言的热情。

(然而，学生们认为今晚最重要的奖品是比赛的过程——来自不同背景和文化的学生如何能够参加友好的比赛,分享他们对语言的爱)”可推断，这场比塞的氛围是轻松的。故选B。

The endangered pandas in Qinling Mountains might face a new threat (威胁): the loss of their food, bamboo, which makes up 99% of their meals.
Adult pandas spend most part of the day eating bamboo and have to take in at least 40 pounds a day to stay healthy. However, a new study published in Nature and Climate Change warned that they may soon find their food gone because most of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains might disappear by the end of the century as a result of rising temperature worldwide.
A team made up of researchers from Michigan State University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences has studied the effects of climate change on the bamboo in Qinling Mountains. They have found that bamboo is very sensitive to climate changes. “80% to 100% of the bamboo would be gone if the average temperature increases 3.5 degrees worldwide by the end of the century.” said Liu Jianguo, one of the report’s authors.
He added, “This is how much the temperature would rise by 2100 even if all countries will keep their promises in the Paris Agreement. But you know what is happening around the world.”
In recent years, China has been trying its best to protect the endangered pandas by setting up more and bigger natural reserves.
“But it is far from being enough and the endangered pandas need cooperation from the rest of the world, because their future is not just in the hands of the Chinese,” said Shirley Martin from World Wildlife Fund but not a member of the team.
The Qinling Mountains, in the southwest of China, are home to about 260 pandas. That is about 13% of the China’s wild panda population. In addition, about 375 are living in research centers and zoos in China.
12. What can we learn from the first paragraph
A. Lots of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains will probably disappear.
B. Qinling Mountains cannot provide enough bamboo for the pandas.
C. Pandas in Qinling Mountains are just threatened by the loss of food.
D. Pandas have already eaten 99% of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains.
13. What does Liu Jianguo mean
A. China needs more help from World Wildlife Fund.
B. Bamboo is sensitive to the changes of temperature.
C China is making great efforts to protect the pandas.
D. It is difficult to control the temperature rise within 3.5℃.
14. How many wild pandas are there in China
A. About 260. B. About 635.
C. About 2,000. D. About 2,635.
15. Which can be the best title for the text
A. The Disappearance of Bamboo B. Necessity to Change Pandas’ Food
C. Efforts Made to Save Pandas D. A New Threat Faced by the Pandas
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D
【解析】

【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“They have found that bamboo is very sensitive to climate changes. ‘80% to 100% of the bamboo would be gone if the average temperature increases 3.5 degrees worldwide by the end of the century.’ said Liu Jianguo, one of the report’s authors.(他们发现竹子对气候变化非常敏感。该报告的作者之一，刘建国说，‘到本世纪末，如果全球平均气温上升3.5度，80%到100%的竹子将会消失。’)”以及第四段“He added, ‘This is how much the temperature would rise by 2100 even if all countries will keep their promises in the Paris Agreement. But you know what is happening around the world.’(他补充说：‘这是到2100年气温将上升的幅度，即使所有国家都遵守《巴黎协定》中的承诺。但你知道世界各地正在发生什么。’)”可知，即使所有国家都遵守《巴黎协定》中的承诺，到2100年，全球气温仍然会增长3.5度，由此可推知，刘建国认为控制温度上升在3.5度以内是很难的事情。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The Qinling Mountains, in the southwest of China, are home to about 260 pandas. That is about 13% of the China’s wild panda population.(位于中国西南部的秦岭是大约260只大熊猫的家园。这大约是中国野生大熊猫总数的13%。)”可知，中国野生大熊猫总数是：260除以13%，得2,000。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“The endangered pandas in Qinling Mountains might face a new threat(威胁): the loss of their food, bamboo, which makes up 99% of their meals.( 秦岭濒临灭绝的大熊猫可能面临新的威胁：失去它们的食物，竹子，竹子占它们食物的99%。)”以及全文可知，本文主要讲述了生活在秦岭一带的大熊猫将面临一个新的生存威胁：赖以生存的竹子的消失。D项“大熊猫面临的新威胁”符合题意，为最佳标题。故选D项。

【36题详解】
考查固定短语。句意：你害怕你认为自己不擅长的事情吗？短语be afraid of表示害怕，故填of。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意：我觉得学太极拳很难，与我以前学的很不同。根据句意可知，这里应该用difference的形容词形式充当宾语补足语，故填different。
【38题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：在太极拳中，很小的动作都很重要的。形容词修饰名词，再根据后面的谓语动词are，可知此处用名词的复数形式，故填movements。
【39题详解】
考查连词。句意：我过去习惯于快和活跃，但现在为了学会胎记，我却要学习耐心。根据分析可知，空格前后的内容含有转折关系，应该填上一个表示转折关系的连词but，故填but。
【40题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：太极几乎与以前一样难。根据before可知，这里要用be动词的一般过去时，故填was。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：我们都倾向于喜欢自己擅长的东西。短语tend to do sth.表示倾向于，故答案为to like。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：我不擅长于与保持平衡有关的事情。此处anything做先行词，是不定代词，在后面的定语从句中做主语，用关系代词that，故答案为that。
【43题详解】
考查副词。此处是副词修饰动词作状语，故用greatly修饰improved。故答案为greatly。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。固定结构：keep doing sth.一直做某事，故答案为doing。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意：挑战你自己。主语与宾语指同一事物，宾语用反身代词yourself。故填yourself。

47. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
A friend of mine, named Jack, received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Jack came out of his office, a street urchin(顽童) was walking around the shining car.“Is this your car, sir ” he asked. Jack answered, “Yes，my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised.“You mean your brother gave it to you and it cost you nothing Sir, I wish...”He hesitated(犹豫)．Jack thought of course he knew what the boy wanted, but what the boy said surprised him greatly. “I wish,” the boy went on,“that I could be a brother like that.” Jack looked at the boy in surprise，and then he said again，“Would you like to take a ride in my car ” “Oh yes, I’d love to.” the boy answered.
After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, “Sir, would you mind driving in front of my house”
Jack smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Jack was wrong again.“Will you stop where those two steps are ” the boy asked.
注意：
1．所续写短文的词数应为150词左右；
2．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
Paragraph 1：
He got out and ran up to the steps.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
Jack got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】He got out and ran up to the steps. After a while, the boy pushed a wheelchair with a younger boy sitting in it. It’s clear that the younger boy was his brother, who was unable to walk. As his brother saw the car, his eyes were shining.
“The car belongs to this gentleman. One day, I will give you a car too.” The boy said to his brother. Jack stood there, stunned. It dawned on him that he was totally wrong.“Could you please take us for a drive together My younger brother loves cars very much.” The boy said. Without any hesitation, Jack agreed.
Jack got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. Although they followed a normal route, the little boy was in high spirits as if he found himself in heaven. But to his surprise, the boy didn’t enjoy the view. He only focused attention on his brother. Deeply moved, Jack realized the best Christmas present was the concern from the bottom of the brother’s heart rather than a car. Jack told them it was Christmas Eve, so this was a gift for them.
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Jack收到了哥哥的圣诞礼物：一辆车。Jack偶遇了一个小男孩，与他短暂交谈并了解了小男孩的愿望：做一个好哥哥，能够带给自己的弟弟关爱才是真正的礼物。
【详解】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，文章讲述了Jack收到了哥哥的圣诞礼物：一辆车。Jack偶遇了一个小男孩，与他短暂交谈并了解了小男孩的愿望：做一个好哥哥，能够带给自己的弟弟关爱才是真正的礼物。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：He got out and ran up to the steps.( 他下了车，跑上台阶。)所以应该写这个小男孩从房子里出来后发生的事情，由于前文已经有铺垫“Jack was wrong”，可知，要描述的内容应该是出乎意料的，比如，小男孩的弟弟的情况，小男孩处于爱护弟弟而对Jack提出的请求等；第二段开头是Jack got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.( 杰克下了车，把男孩抱到汽车的前座上。) 本段应该写上车兜风时的感受，以及Jack对小男孩兄弟俩的观察而得出感悟：他意识到最好的圣诞礼物是来自哥哥心底的关心。
续写时要求使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语增加了写作难度，我们要熟悉所给划线词语，恰当的时候加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右；续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。按要求完成写作任务。
【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：
1.高级词汇：belong to; dawn on sb. ; without any hesitation; be in high spirits; to one’s surprise; focus on
2.复合句式：
It’s clear that the younger boy was his brother, who was unable to walk. (who引导非限制性定语从句)
As his brother saw the car，his eyes were shining.(as引导的时间状语从句)
Although they followed a normal route, the little boy was in high spirits as if he found himself in heaven.(although引导让步状语从句)
Deeply moved, Jack realized the best Christmas present was the concern from the bottom of the brother’s heart rather than a car.(deeply moved 为过去分词作状语)2023-2024学年上期高一年级西藏班第二次调考

Chinese writer Can Xue, along with Japanese author Haruki Murakami, was reportedly named as the fourth-ranked candidate(候选人)to have the highest chance of winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2019.
Can, whose real name is Deng Xiaohua, was born in Changsha, Hunan in 1953. Not raised as a writer, she spent almost 20 years while being a worker, tailor and medical practitioner (从业者).Yet she never gave up on her passion, and in 1985 published her first novel Yellow Mud Street. Like her other works, it made use of symbolism. The book became known as the autobiography of her inner world. Such a work was not easily accepted or understood by Chinese readers during that period. But Can never stopped pursuing her own style.
Other representative works include Old Floating Cloud and The Barefoot Doctor. Some have been translated in other languages, while others have been selected as textbooks at world-class universities in the US and Japan. Her novel The Last Lover has been honored with the Neustadt International Prize for Literature in US, widely considered a prelude award for the Nobel.
Sharing a stylistic similarity with Franz Kafka, Can has been called the "Chinese Kafka" by permanent Nobel Literature Committee judge and renowned sinologist Goran Malmqvist. Malmqvist even believed Can could achieve more than Kafka, as she has already created more than 7 million words of literary composition.
Can responded she was unworthy of that level of praise, and she is just standing on Kafka's shoulders.
Though not understood by many Chinese, Can still writes in a way that combines Western and Chinese culture. But Can said many Western readers thought her works novel enough, as she praised the virtues of introducing Chinese culture to the West.
4. When did Can Xue publish her first novel
A. In 1953 B. In 1973. C. In 1985. D. In 2019.
5. Which of her works won a prize for literature in America
A. Old Floating Cloud. B. The Last Lover.
C. The Barefoot Doctor. D. Yellow Mud Street.
6. Why has Can Xue been called the "Chinese Kafka"
A. Her works made use of symbolism.
B. She introduced Chinese culture to the West.
C. She won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2019.
D. Her works shared a similar style with Franz Kafka.
7. What word can describe Can Xue best according to the text
A. Modest B. Passive. C. Mean. D. Generous.
C
The language Centers first Trivia Night tested students' knowledge on different languages and their histories last Friday at Douglass commons.
"We have decided to conduct this event when the weather is bad so that students who have nowhere to go and stay on campus can come and find a comfortable shelter during a cold winter day," Language Center Director, Teresa Valdez said. According to Valdez, the idea for Trivia night came a year ago from a junior and team-member called Elizabeth de Los Reyes. The event engaged students' interest in languages and showed the high-quality services that the Language Center provides.
Participants competed in small groups that each represented a different language and country. There were five teams in total: Russia, China, Japan, Spain and France. The competition consisted of four rounds with each round consisting of three questions relating to the following topics literature, language, geography, culture and history.
After a few warm-up questions about how people greet each other in different languages, what continent Turkey is found in, and who is the first man to fly to the moon, the questions became increasingly difficult. Each round offered an increasing amount of points a team could receive. The final question was worth 20 points. If a team did not answer it correctly, the points were taken from the total.
In the meantime, students enjoyed pizza, snacks, and drinks while sharing their linguistic (语言的) interest. Most of the participants knew two or three languages. Others knew more, such as first-year Bartek Jezierski from Poland, who can speak English, Polish, German, Spanish, and Russian.
The winners from first to third place were France, Japan and Russia respectively. All five teams were given some prizes—a blue shopping bag, a cup and stuffed toys. However, students believed the most important prize of the evening was the process of the competition—how students from diverse backgrounds and cultures were able to participate in a friendly competition, and shared their mutual (相互的) love of languages.
8. What is one of the purposes of Trivia Night？
A. To attract students to learn languages.
B. To help the students suffering from coldness.
C. To collect opinions from the students on its services.
D. To select the best students for the Language center.
9. How many questions were there in the competition in total？
A. 3 B. 4. C. 12. D. 20.
10. Which of the following can best describe the atmosphere of the competition？
A. Quiet. B. Relaxing. C. romantic. D. Depressing.
11. What did students value most in the competition？
A. Some snacks and drinks.
B. Various prizes for winners.
C. The course of the competition.
D. The services provided by the language center.

The endangered pandas in Qinling Mountains might face a new threat (威胁): the loss of their food, bamboo, which makes up 99% of their meals.
Adult pandas spend most part of the day eating bamboo and have to take in at least 40 pounds a day to stay healthy. However, a new study published in Nature and Climate Change warned that they may soon find their food gone because most of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains might disappear by the end of the century as a result of rising temperature worldwide.
A team made up of researchers from Michigan State University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences has studied the effects of climate change on the bamboo in Qinling Mountains. They have found that bamboo is very sensitive to climate changes. “80% to 100% of the bamboo would be gone if the average temperature increases 3.5 degrees worldwide by the end of the century.” said Liu Jianguo, one of the report’s authors.
He added, “This is how much the temperature would rise by 2100 even if all countries will keep their promises in the Paris Agreement. But you know what is happening around the world.”
In recent years, China has been trying its best to protect the endangered pandas by setting up more and bigger natural reserves.
“But it is far from being enough and the endangered pandas need cooperation from the rest of the world, because their future is not just in the hands of the Chinese,” said Shirley Martin from World Wildlife Fund but not a member of the team.
The Qinling Mountains, in the southwest of China, are home to about 260 pandas. That is about 13% of the China’s wild panda population. In addition, about 375 are living in research centers and zoos in China.
12. What can we learn from the first paragraph
A. Lots of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains will probably disappear.
B. Qinling Mountains cannot provide enough bamboo for the pandas.
C. Pandas in Qinling Mountains are just threatened by the loss of food.
D. Pandas have already eaten 99% of the bamboo in Qinling Mountains.
13. What does Liu Jianguo mean
A. China needs more help from World Wildlife Fund.
B. Bamboo is sensitive to the changes of temperature.
C. China is making great efforts to protect the pandas.
D. It is difficult to control the temperature rise within 3.5℃.
14. How many wild pandas are there in China
A. About 260. B. About 635.
C. About 2,000. D. About 2,635.
15. Which can be the best title for the text
A. The Disappearance of Bamboo B. Necessity to Change Pandas’ Food
C. Efforts Made to Save Pandas D. A New Threat Faced by the Pandas
