Ⅳ.阅读理解
(2012·天津市十二区县联考)
Herta Müller,the Romanian-born German writer,has won the 2009 Nobel Prize for Literature.The award was announced in Stockholm on Thursday.
Ms.Müller,56,immigrated to Germany from Romania in 1987.She is the first German writer to win the Nobel in literature since Günter Grass in 1999 and the 13th winner writing in German since the prize was first given in 1901.She is the 12th woman to win the literature prize.But unlike previous winners like Doris Lessing and V.S.Naipaul,Ms.Müller is relatively unknown outside of literary circles in Germany.
“I am very surprised and still cannot believe it,” Ms.Müller said in a statement delivered by her publisher in Germany.“I can’t say anything more at the moment.”
She has written some 20 books,but just 5 have been translated into English,including the novels “The Land of Green Plums” and “The Appointment.”
At the news conference on Thursday at the German Publishers & Booksellers Association in Berlin,where she lives,Ms.Müller,wearing all black and sitting on a leopard-print chair,appeared nervous with all the cameras flashing on her.
When asked what it meant that her name would now be mentioned in the same breath as German greats like Thomas Mann and Heinrich Boll,Ms.Müller remained philosophical.“I am now nothing better and I’m nothing worse,” she said,adding:“My inner thing is writing.That’s what I can hold on to.”
Earlier in the day,at a news conference in Stockholm,Peter Englund,secretary of the Swedish Academy,said Ms.Müller was honored for her“very,very distinct special language” and because “she has really a story to tell about cruelty and repression in a village much like the one Müller grew up in.”
The awards ceremony is planned for Dec.10 in Stockholm.As the winner,Ms.Müller will receive about $1.4 million.
【解题导语】 文章讲述了德国作家Herta Müller获得2009年诺贝尔文学奖,以及她的生平及作品等。
1.According to the passage,all of the following statements are wrong EXCEPT that________.
A.she moved to Germany from Romania when she was 40
B.most of her works are very popular outside Germany
C.she is the first German writer that has won the Nobel Prize in literature
D.so far there are 13 winners whose works are written in German
解析:选D。细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Herta Müller,the Romanian-born German writer,has won the 2009 Nobel Prize for Literature.”和第二段第一句“Ms.Müller,56,immigrated to Germany from Romania in 1987.”可排除A项;根据第二段倒数第一句“Ms.Müller is relatively unknown outside of literary circles in Germany”可排除B项;根据第二段第二句中“She is the first German writer to win the Nobel in literature since Günter Grass in 1999”可排除C项;根据第二段第二句中的“the 13th winner writing in German since the prize was first given in 1901”可知,D项正确。
2.Ms.Müller was surprised at the news about her winning the award because________.
A.she was born a Romanian and became a famous German writer
B.she had missed a lot of chances to win the prize
C.she had expected to win the prize eagerly for long
D.she thought she was just an unknown writer in this field
解析:选D。推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“But unlike previous winners like Doris Lessing and V.S.Naipaul,Ms.Müller is relatively unknown outside of literary circles in Germany.”和第三段第一句中“I am very surprised and still cannot believe it...”可知,因为没有名气,所以在得知获奖时感到震惊,故选D项。
3.By saying “I am now nothing better and I’m nothing worse”,Ms.Müller meant that________.
A.she thought highly of herself
B.she thought nothing of herself
C.she was very modest
D.she was no worse than the other German writers
解析:选C。推理判断题。根据第六段最后两句“I am now nothing better and I’m nothing worse,”she said,adding:“My inner thing is writing.That’s what I can hold on to.”可知她获奖后仍然很冷静,自认为不更好也不更坏,可知她是谦虚的。故选C项。
4.We can infer from the passage that________.
A.Müller’s honored works are based on her own experience
B.most of Ms.Müller’s novels are unsuccessful works
C.Ms.Müller is feeling much better after she becomes the award winner
D.Ms.Müller wins the prize because she’s described the Germans’ life vividly
解析:选A。推理判断题。B项中most以及unsuccessful绝对化;根据3题可知C错;根据文章开头内容可知,是用德语描写她的出生地罗马尼亚的村庄的情况,故D项错误;根据第七段最后一句“...she has really a story to tell about cruelty and repression in a village much like the one Müller grew up in.”可知,该书是描写类似作者儿时成长的村庄cruelty and repression,所以答案为“基于她个人的经历”。
5.What’s the best title of the passage?
A.The Biography of Herta Müller
B.Herta Müller Wins Literature Nobel Prize
C.Herta Müller,a Great Successful Romanian Writer
D.The Great Awards Ceremony for Herta Müller
解析:选B。文章体裁题。A、C是纪传体;B是纪实性文章;若选D,文章应该描写Great Awards Ceremony颁奖大会。根据首段“Herta Müller, the Romanian-born German writer,has won the 2009 Nobel Prize for Literature.The award was announced in Stockholm on Thursday.”及全文围绕的中心话题可知本文为纪实性文章,故答案为B项。
