South African writer John Maxwell Coetzee is______(51)for keeping to himself.When the 63-year-old man was named the 2003 Nobel Prize winner for literature,reporters were warned that they would find him"particularly difficult to______(52)".
Coetzee lives in Australia but spends part of the year teaching at the University of Chicago.He seemed ______(53)by the news that he won the US $1.3 million prize.
"It came as a complete surprise.I wasn't even aware they were due to make the announcement,"he said.His_______(54)of privacy led to doubts as to whether Coetzee will attend prize-giving in Stockholm, Sweden,on December 10.But despite being described as_______(55)to track down,the critics agree that his writing is easy to get to know.
Born in Cape Town,South Africa,to an English-speaking family,Coetzee______(56)his break- through in 1980 with the novel"Waiting for the Barbarians".He_______(57)his place among the wor1d's leading writers with two Booker prize victories,Britain's highest honour for novels.He first _______(58)in 1983 for the Life and Times of Michael K and his second title came in 1999 for Disgrace.

选项
63._________
A:written
B:hidden
C:mirrored
D:stricken
答案
C
解析
be well-known for keeping to himself意思是“以很少与人来往为大家所熟知”,符合句意。
come across , run into , bump into在语义上都有某种“偶然性”,意思是“偶然遇见”,不符合句意。particularly difficult to catch意思是“特别难找到他”,符合句意。
由后面一句话“It came as a complete surprise.”可知,Goetzee觉得这个奖来得很突然。联系上下文,可推测出当Goetzee得知他获得了诺贝尔奖时,他觉得很震惊。D项符合句意。
此处需要一个名词。like作“喜欢”解时是动词;devote是“奉献”的意思,是动词;attract 是“吸引”的意思,是动词。love既可作动词,也可作名词,因此C为正确答案。
该句意思是:尽管人们认为很难找到Goetzee,但是评论家一致认为他的作品很容易理解。despite引导的是一种反向对比,主句中有easy,那么该处应是它的反义词difficult。因此A 为正确答案。
make a breakthrough是固定搭配,意思是“取得突破”。C项符合句意。
to take one's place是固定说法,是“占据一席之地,跻身于”的意思。C项符合句意。
这个句子里没有宾语,因此需要一个不及物动词,在这四个动词中,只有“won”既可作及物动词,又可作不及物动词。其他三个词均为及物动词,所以C为正确答案。
除了deal外,handle , solve和remove后都不跟with。因此A为正确答案。
该句意思是:在处理这个国家依然存在的暴力、犯罪和种族隔离问题时,他的书能使一般人从内部理解种族隔离制度。“从……角度”常用from。因此D为正确答案。
cast its shadow on/over是固定说法,是“使不快,(在心理上)投下阴影”的意思。D项符合句意。
think twice是固定说法,是“再三考虑,慎重思考”的意思。B项符合句意。
这两个句子意思是:事实上,Coetzee作品中的这种纯洁性似乎也反映在他的个人生活之中。他是一个吃素食的人,他骑车而不开车,并且他也不喝酒。nuirror作动词时,是“反映” 的意思,符合句意。
从下文“far greater than the things he has given up(比他放弃的东西要多得多)”来看,应选择contributed。该句意思是:但是,他对文学、文化、南非人民所做出的贡献比他放弃的东西要多得多。A项符合句意。
该句意思是:Goetzee的作品表现了人类的非凡才华。express意思是“表达,表现”,符合句意。
