Man of Few Words
Everyone chases success,but not all of us want to be famous.
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-speakingfamily,Coetzee_______(56)his break-
through in 1980 with the novel"Waiting for the Barbarians".He__________(57)hisplace among the
world'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.
A major theme in his work is South Africa's former apartheid system,which divided whites from blacks.
_______(59)with the problems of violence,crime and racial division that still exist in the country,his
books have enabled ordinary people to understand apartheid_________(60)within.
"I have always been more interested in the past than the future,"he said in a rare interview.
"The past________(61)its shadow over the present.I hope I have made one or two people think
_______(62)about whether they want to forget the past completely."In fact this purity in his writing
seems to be_________(63)in his personal life.Coetzee is a vegetarian,a cyclist rather than a motorist and
he doesn't drink alcohol.But what he has________(64)to literature,culture and the people of South Africa is far greater than the things he has given up."In looking at weakness and failure in life,"the Nobel
prize judging panel said,"Coetzee's work_________(65)the divine spark in man."
选项
_________(57)
A:kept
B:listed
C:took
D:arranged
答案
C
解析
be well-known for keeping to himself是“以与世隔绝为大家所熟知”的意思,符合文章意思。
come across , run into , bump mnt。在语义上都有某种“偶然性”,这是主语所指的人无法控制的,不符合句义,因而这种搭配在语义上是错误的。particularly difficult to catch的意思是“特别难找到他,”符合句意。
寻找正确的答案,常常需要借助上下文提供的信息。上下文常常可以帮助我们做出正确的判断。紧随其后的句子是“It came as a complete surprise."(这个奖来得很突然)。 "shock”跟“surprise”意思很接近,因而“shocked”是正确的答案。
like作“喜欢”解时是动词,而此处需要的是一个名词。devote是“奉献”的意思,是动词;attract是“吸引”的意思,是动词。因此“love”是正确答案。
despite引导的是一种反向对比,主句中有easy,那么它的反义词就是difficult。
make a breakthrough等于break through,是固定搭配。
to take one' s place这里是“占据一席之地,跻身于”的意思,这是固定的说法。
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为最佳答案。
除了(leal外,handle , solve和remove后都不跟with。
整个句子说的是: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。
cast its shadow是“使不快;(在心理一上)投下阴影”的意思,是固定的说法。
think twice是“再三考虑,慎重思考”的意思,这是固定的说法。
从紧随其后的句子来看,应填入“mirrored”。这两个句子说的是: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。
从下文“far greater than the thing he has given up(比他放弃的东西要多得多)”来看,应选择contributed。全句说的是:但是,他对文学、文化、南非人民所作出的贡献比他放弃的东西要多得多。
tell告诉;say说;inform通知;express表达。结合文意,应选D。
