French writer Annie Ernaux won the 2022 Nobel Prize in literature on Oct 6. She is the first French female to win the prize.
In the words of the Nobel committee, Ernaux was given the award “for the courage and clinical acuity (敏锐的洞察力) of her writing”. Having spent over 50 years as a writer, the 82-year-old winner has published more than 20 books. Rather than consider herself a writer of fiction, Ernaux has used the term “an ethnologist (民族学者) of herself”.
Born in 1940 in a village in Normandy, France, Ernaux grew up in a working-class environment. Her parents ran a combined grocery store and cafe. She worked as a teacher before becoming a full-time writer.
Two books by other French writers inspired her to be a writer: The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir and Distinction by Pierre Bourdieu. The former led her to write about feminism, and the latter raised her awareness of the huge gap between her and the environment she grew up in. Besides her reading influences, her “upbringing and experiences navigating adolescence and adulthood” also inspire many of her works, noted CNN.
Though the matters Ernaux describes in her books are serious and even sometimes heavy, they are always written in plain language. Ernaux described her style as “flat writing” through which she aims to tell her stories objectively, “unshaped by florid (过多修饰的) description or overwhelming emotions”, noted Fox News.
“She writes about things that no one else writes about, for instance her jealousy, her experiences as an abandoned lover and so forth. I mean, really hard experiences.” Anders Olsson, chairman of the Nobel Committee for Literature, said after the award announcement in Stockholm.
4．What can we learn about Annie Ernaux
A．She is the first French person to win the Nobel Prize in literature.
B．She was awarded for the courage and insights shown in her writing.
C．The Nobel committee described her as “an ethnologist of herself”.
D．She worked as a full-time writer right after graduation.
5．What does the underlined word “navigating” mean in paragraph 4
A．find the right way to deal with B．be treated badly when someone was a child
C．educate people to be kind D．lose hope for the future
6．Which of the following best describes Ernaux’s writing style
A．Plain and relaxing. B．Descriptive and serious.
C．Humorous and sharp. D．Objective and easy to understand.
7．Why is Annie Ernaux different from other writers, according to Anders Olsson
A．She focuses on serious matters. B．She suffered a lot of hardships.
C．Her works are short and moving. D．Her works are about unexplored subjects.

Do you know that the oldest tree is a 5, 000-year old bristlecone pine (狐尾松) located in the forests of Nevada Unfortunately, many of these precious old-growth trees are starting to disappear from our planet. The term old-growth refers to trees that are 150 years or older. This means that many of the trees on the Earth today are younger, smaller, and have shorter lifespans.
As the Earth’s temperature warms up due to climate change, it is having unintended effects on the world’s forests. When temperatures rise, trees close their pores (气孔) to prevent the loss of moisture, and this, in turn, slows down the process of photosynthesis (光合作用). As a result, these trees are shorter and grow slowly, as well as have a high deathrate. Climate change also increases the possibility of droughts and wildfires. After wildfires, it takes a while for the forest ecosystems to recover, and in some cases, the forests are lost permanently. Trees that are stressed are also susceptible (易受影响的) to attacks by bacteria (细菌). Finally, humans have changed the forest landscape through logging (伐木).
There are some who claim that increased greenhouse gas emission is helping trees grow faster because CO2, is needed for photosynthesis. While some younger trees may benefit from this, we are seeing significantly more loss of forests than gain.
Old-growth forests are a storehouse of carbon, and when they die, the stored CO2, is released into the air worsening the greenhouse effect. Older forests have higher biodiversity, which is beneficial as each organism has a role to play and there is a wide variety of species. As these forests disappear, species that once called them “home” are forced to relocate, affecting the biodiversity of those ecosystems. Unfortunately, some endangered species are unable to adapt and go extinct.
With trees dying continuously, will future generations miss out on the wonders of forests
8．What is the main idea of the second paragraph
A．Why bacteria may attack old trees. B．What leads to the rising temperatures.
C．Why old-growth forests are disappearing. D．How global warming causes natural disasters.
9．What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．Species. B．Older forests. C．Organisms. D．Roles organisms play.
10．The last sentence of the text is actually____________.
A．a doubt B．a warning C．a blame D．a suggestion
11．What is the author’s purpose of writing this text
A．To urge people to reduce gas emission. B．To explain the greenhouse effect on trees.
C．To introduce the process of photosynthesis. D．To call on people to protect old-growth trees.
D
Used electronics are piing up fast: they are filling up landfills with dangerous pieces of waste. Some e-waste is relatively large, such as air conditioners; other e-waste is more unnoticed, such as smart labels that contain disposable batteries and other equipment.
“It’s these small batteries that are big problems,” says University of California, Irvine, public health scientist Dele Ogunseitan, who is a green technology researcher and adviser for major tech companies and was not involved in developing the battery. “Nobody really pays attention to where they end up.” Researchers at the Cellulose & Wood Materials Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology are working to address this problem. Their new paper describes a water-activated paper battery developed from environmentally friendly materials that could eventually present a sustainable alternative to the more harmful batteries common in low-power devices.
The paper battery has the same key components as standard batteries but packages them differently. Like a typical chemical battery, it has a positively charged side and a negatively charged side. A traditional battery’s components are covered in plastic and metal; in the new battery, however, the positively and negatively charged sides are inks printed onto the front and back of a piece of paper. That paper is filled with salt, which dissolves (溶解) when the paper becomes wet. When the paper is dry, the battery is shelf-stable. Once the paper is wet, the battery starts working within 20 seconds. The new battery’s operating performance declines as the paper dries. When the scientists rewet the paper during testing, the battery regained function and lasted an hour before beginning to dry out again.
That future may not be so far off. It is hard to predict a time line for manufacturing such items at scale, but the head of the study says he is in contact with potential industry partners and believes these batteries could make their way into products within the next two to five years.
12．Why is e-waste mentioned in paragraph 1
A．To introduce the topic. B．To give people warning.
C．To show the seriousness of it. D．To call on people to take action.
13．What is Dele’s attitude towards e-waste
A．Objective. B．Carefree. C．Indifferent. D．Concerned.
14．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A．The difference between the paper battery and the traditional battery.
B．The working principle of the paper battery.
C．The problem of the paper battery.
D．The advantage of the paper battery.
15．What is the most suitable title for the text
A．Paper battery: Is it far off
B．Paper can work wonders.
C．Paper battery: A creative way to reduce e-waste.
D．Let’s work together to fight e-waste.

While there are numerous tools to help you determine your strengths, try starting with these questions. Be as honest, clear, and objective as possible.
What are your top three qualities or strengths 16 . To make it easy, send an email to 20 of your closest friends and family members. Tell them you need their help in identifying your three top qualities or strengths. You’ll quickly start receiving responses. Start a list from the answers you receive. 17 . Take the three most common answers and use them as your guide.
What do you do every day Most people tend to spend time on the things they like to do rather than the things they don’t like. 18 . If you find yourself easily making time to read to your kids but avoid making dinner, this behavior could be telling you something. People move toward things they’re naturally good at doing.
19 What people think you do and what they say about you are two different things. For example, they may think you’re cleaning all day long but still think you’re a terrible housekeeper. So you need to question people about it and tell them it’s okay to tell the truth because this is about your personal development.
What is one mistake you keep repeating Albert Einstein is known to have described insanity (精神错乱) as doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results. Are you caught in the insanity trap For me, it was making bread. For years I tried to get my dough (面团) to rise into a nice cottony loaf. 20 . I had advice from friends, watched videos online and tried different recipes all to no avail. I’ve accepted that I can’t make bread and it’s okay.
A．Every time I created a hard rock
B．The first step is to ask for advice
C．What do you like to talk about
D．What do other people say about you

If temperatures continue to rise, farmers in northern Europe may find they can grow southern staples( 主食 ); polenta may 34 northern Europe. Meanwhile, the Italian southerner may also have to 35 if tropical fruits continue to spread there.

“A girl child having her head shaved off Why don’t you ask for something else We will be sad seeing you with a clean-shaven head,” I said. “I do not want anything else,” Sue said with finality. “Dad, you promised to give me whatever I ask for. Was it not you who told me a story yesterday, and its moral that we should honor our promises no matter what ”
I had to give in.
On Monday morning, I dropped her at her school. It was a sight to watch my daughter walking towards her classroom with her head clean-shaven. She turned around and waved. I waved back with a smile. Just then, a boy got out of a car, and shouted, “Sue, please wait for me!”
What struck me was the hairless head of that boy. Then a lady got out of the car, and said to me, “Sir, that boy is my son Mike, and your daughter visited him last week. Mike is suffering from leukemia. He lost all his hair due to the side effects of the chemotherapy. He refused to come back to school for fear that he would be made fun of by the schoolmates.”

Good morning, everyone,
My name is Li Hua. It’s an honor to be here to share with you the speech themed The power of music.
When it comes to music,we have our own stories. As for me, music actually offered me enough power to overcome difficulties. When failing in the mid-term examination, I felt so upset that I refused to communicate with my friends, even my parents. When I heard some inspiring songs, which gave me confidence, I gradually ignored the failure and spared no effort to study. Finally, I made great progress in the final examination.From my experience, I hope that you can obtain the power which music offers to achieve your own dreams.
Thanks for your listening.

“Your daughter is great indeed!” the lady continued. “She visited my son to see why he was absent from school. When she knew what the matter was, she encouraged my son to go back to school no matter what others would say, and promised him that she would do something to make sure no one would make fun of him. But, I never imagined she would sacrifice her lovely hair for my son!” I finally saw why my daughter wanted to have her head shaved off!
Sue’s story spread quickly and soon many other children showed their care for Mike in various ways. Some also had their heads shaved off to show their support for him. Others sent him cards with words of encouragement or gifts that made him happy. Still others made friends with him and played with him whenever possible. As a result, going to school was no longer awful for the boy. Instead, it became the happiest thing for him. My little Angel, you have made everyone understand what real love is!

Sacrificing Hair for a Friend
My seven-year-old daughter Sue looked frightened with tears in her eyes. In front of her was a bowl of medicine, which tasted so bitter. “Sue, why don’t you take the medicine Just for Dad’s sake, dear.” Sue softened a bit. “Dad, if I take the medicine, will you give me whatever I ask for ” “Oh sure, darling.” I replied. “Promise ” “Promise.”
Slowly and painfully, she finished taking the medicine and then looked at me with her eyes wide with expectation. “Dad, I want to have my head shaved off, this Sunday!”
“A girl child having her head shaved off Why don’t you ask for something else We will be sad seeing you with a clean-shaven head,” I said. “I do not want anything else,” Sue said with finality. “Dad, you promised to give me whatever I ask for. Was it not you who told me a story yesterday, and its moral that we should honor our promises no matter what ”
I had to give in.
On Monday morning, I dropped her at her school. It was a sight to watch my daughter walking towards her classroom with her head clean-shaven. She turned around and waved. I waved back with a smile. Just then, a boy got out of a car, and shouted, “Sue, please wait for me!”
What struck me was the hairless head of that boy. Then a lady got out of the car, and said to me, “Sir, that boy is my son Mike, and your daughter visited him last week. Mike is suffering from leukemia. He lost all his hair due to the side effects of the chemotherapy. He refused to come back to school for fear that he would be made fun of by the schoolmates.”

Good morning, everyone,
My name is Li Hua. It’s an honor to be here to share with you the speech themed The power of music.
When it comes to music,we have our own stories. As for me, music actually offered me enough power to overcome difficulties. When failing in the mid-term examination, I felt so upset that I refused to communicate with my friends, even my parents. When I heard some inspiring songs, which gave me confidence, I gradually ignored the failure and spared no effort to study. Finally, I made great progress in the final examination.From my experience, I hope that you can obtain the power which music offers to achieve your own dreams.
Thanks for your listening.

“Your daughter is great indeed!” the lady continued. “She visited my son to see why he was absent from school. When she knew what the matter was, she encouraged my son to go back to school no matter what others would say, and promised him that she would do something to make sure no one would make fun of him. But, I never imagined she would sacrifice her lovely hair for my son!” I finally saw why my daughter wanted to have her head shaved off!
Sue’s story spread quickly and soon many other children showed their care for Mike in various ways. Some also had their heads shaved off to show their support for him. Others sent him cards with words of encouragement or gifts that made him happy. Still others made friends with him and played with him whenever possible. As a result, going to school was no longer awful for the boy. Instead, it became the happiest thing for him. My little Angel, you have made everyone understand what real love is!
