Man of Few Words

Everyone chases success，but not all of US want to be famous．
South African writer John Maxwell Coetzee is _l_ for keeping himself to himself．
When the 63-year—old was named the 2003 Nobel Prize winner for literature earlier this month, reporters were warned that they would find him “particularly difficult to _2_ ”
Coetzee lives in Australia but spends part of the year teaching at the University of Chicago. He seemed _3_ by the news 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 _4_ pf privacy led to doubts as to whether Coetzee will attend the prize．giving in Stockholm，Sweden，on December 10．
But despite being described as _5_ to track down，山e critics agree that his writing is easy to get to know．
Born in Cape Town，South Africa，to all English-speaking family, Coetzee _6_ his breakthrough in 1980 with the novel“Waiting for the Barbarians”．He _7_ his place among the world’S leading writers with two Booker prize victories，Britain’S highest honour for novels．He first _8_ 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． _9_ with the problems of violence，crime and racial division that still exist in the country, his books have enabled ordinary people to understand apartheid _10_ within．
“I have always been more interested in the past than the future。”he said in a rare interview．“The past _11_ its shadow over the present．I hope I have made one or two people think _12_ about whether they want to forget the past completely．”
In fact this purity in his writing seems to be _13_ in his personal life．Coetzee is a vegetarian，a cyclist rather than a motorist and doesn’t drink alcohol．
But what he has _14_ to 1iterature，culture and the people of South Africa is far greater than the things he has given up．“In looking at weakness and failure in 1ife，”the Nobel prize judging panel said，“Coetzee’s work _15_ the divine spark in man．”

答案及解析
第一部分：词汇选择（第1-15题，每题1分，共15分）
下面共有15句子，每个句子均有一个词或短语划有底横线，请从每个句子后面所给的四个选项中选择一个与划线部分意义最相近的词或短语。答案一律涂在答题卡相应的位置上。

1． B．分析：借助划线短语中的基本词汇含义猜测短语可能的含义为“为了钱和爱”。而这四个备选答案中只有答案B （at any price/以任何代价）在基本用词上（price）与划线短语一致，而且在句意上也合理。该句含义是“某些流行书籍的首印版是无论如何也很难得到的。”

2． C．分析：该题考察与虚拟语气相关的常见动词。 recommend是“推荐”； order是“命令”； insist是“坚持”； demand 是“要求”；suggest 是“建议”。只有suggest与recommend语义相近，所以答案为C。

3． B. 分析：借助与划线词直接相关的搭配结构含义（..情况）判断B（艰苦的）。sincere是“真诚的”； hard是“艰苦的”； strict是“严肃的”； tight是“紧的”。

4． C.分析：借助句意（这座房子在风中..如磐石）判断答案C（稳固的）。exceptional adj
特别的；异常的； continuous adj.连续的, 持续的

5． D。 分析：借助联想法。画线词shine与常见词汇sunshine（阳光）有关。又因shine 的宾语是鞋子，所以推测shine 的含义与“使鞋子光亮”有关。所以polish（擦亮）D是答案。另外：lighten是“to make or become light or brighter/减轻(负担); 缓和, 使轻松, 使愉快，（使能发光的东西）变亮”，而wash是（洗）； clean是（使干净）。

6． B．分析：借助句意（20世纪70年代初期当Barbara Jordan在参议院里任职的时候，他就支持有关禁止种族歧视和解决环境问题的立法）判断答案B（禁止）。Forbid（forbade; forbidden） vt.禁止，不准，不许；Handle vt拿；处理；应付；控制； Ban vt./n.（法律上）禁止

7．A． 分析：该句含义是“昨天在那家商店里为我服务的是一位美丽的女服务员”。attend to v. 倾听,关心, 照顾； wait on v.服侍, 招待

8． D．分析：annoying adj.恼人的, 讨厌的; Horrifying vt令人感到恐怖的; painful adj.疼痛的, 使痛苦的； disturbing adj.烦扰的

9． A．分析：借助句意（这些是我们这样做的..）判断A最合适。Motive n动机；目的; Target n.目标, 对象; 笑柄(for); argument n.争论, 辩论, 论据, 论点, ～ (for ,against); pursuit n.
追逐，追寻

10. A. 分析：根据搭配结构含义（..事件）判断A（控制）合适。该句含义是“成功的领导者是事先控制事件而不是事后才做反应”。 Contribute v.捐助, 捐献, 贡献, 投稿; convey vt.搬运, 传达; contact n.接触, 联系vt.接触, 联系
