21、 The Nobel Prize in Literature, which has been awarded annually almost every year since 1901, netted(净赚)the winning author 747,000 pounds ($915,000), a medal and certificate, and the legal duty to deliver a lecture in Sweden at some future date. The winner was selected, as usual, by the Swedish Academy, which also picked a second laureate(获奖者)this year to make up for the fact that no prize was presented in 2018 because of a scandal(丑闻).
The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2018 was awarded to the Polish author Olga Tokarczuk “for a narrative imagination that with encyclopedic(百科全书式的)passion represents the crossing of boundaries as a form of life”. She won last year’s Man Booker International Prize for her novel Flights. Her representative works include Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead and Primeval and Other Times.
The Nobel Prize in Literature for 2019 was awarded to the Austrian author Peter Handke “for an influential work that with linguistic ingenuity(语言的独创性) has explored the periphery and the specificity of human experience”. His representative works include Sorrow Beyond Dreams, Slow Homecoming and The Great Fall.
Before the announcement of the Nobel Prize in Literature winners, there are also two nominees(被提名者)who have attracted much attention. Chinese people are keeping their eyes on nominee Can Xue. Can Xue, whose real name is Deng Xiaohua, was born in Central China’s Hunan Province in 1953. She had a tough childhood working as a worker in a street factory for eight years. Her life experience has formed her own unique literary path. Can’s books have been translated and published outside China. Frontier, published in the US in 2017, won attention and applause from the West.
The other hot guess is Japanese writer Haruki Murakami whose books and stories have been bestsellers in Japan as well as internationally, with his work being translated into 50 languages and selling millions of copies outside his native country. His work has received numerous awards. Internet users keep eyes on him in the Nobel Prize in Literature because he has become hot guess for years.

22、“Nearly 2.5 billion people worldwide will be living with some degree of hearing loss by 2050. At least 700 million people will require access to ear and hearing care and other rehabilitation (康复) services unless action is taken. Untreated hearing loss can have a destructive impact on people’s ability to communicate, to study and to earn a living. It can also impact on people’s mental health and their ability to maintain relationships,” said Dr Tedros, WHO Director- General.
The report, launched ahead of World Hearing Day on 3 March, stresses the need to rapidly step up efforts to prevent and solve hearing loss by investing (投资) and expanding access to ear and hearing care services. Investment in ear and hearing care has been shown to be worth it.
Lack of true information about ear diseases and hearing loss often limit people from accessing care for these conditions. Even among health-care providers, there’s often a lack of knowledge about prevention, early identification and management of hearing loss and ear diseases, preventing their ability to provide the care required.
In children, almost 60% of hearing loss can be prevented through measures such as immunization (免疫) for prevention and early management. In adults, noise control, safe listening together with good ear health can help maintain good hearing and reduce the potential for hearing loss.
Identification is the first step in dealing with hearing loss. Clinical screening at strategic points in life ensure that any loss of hearing and ear diseases can be identified as early as possible. Once checked, early prevention is key. Medical and surgical treatment can cure most ear diseases, potentially reversing (逆转) the associated hearing loss. However, where hearing loss is irreversible, rehabilitation can ensure that those affected avoid the negative effects of hearing loss.
【1】What can we learn from Dr Tedros’ words?
A.Hearing loss only influences people’s physical health.
B.Nearly 2.5 billion people are suffering from hearing loss.
C.Untreated hearing loss can affect people’s daily life seriously.
D.Nearly 700 million people can have access to hearing care now.
【2】Why do people with hearing loss fail to access care?
A.Doctors know nothing about prevention.
B.No money has been invested in hearing care services.
C.People lack true information about ear diseases and hearing loss.
D.Hearing loss and ear diseases are never identified and managed early.
【3】What can we know from the last two paragraphs?
A.Rehabilitation can reverse hearing loss.
B.Most hearing loss in children can be cured.
C.It is important to prevent hearing loss and ear diseases early.
D.Few ear diseases can be cured by medical and surgical treatment.
【4】What’s the best title of the text?
A.WHO invests more in hearing loss.
B.Hearing loss prevention counts
C.Ear protection never ends
D.Children suffer hearing loss
23、The capital of a country is often a very populated city where much history has been made due to the high-level political and economic functions that occur there. However, sometimes government leaders decide to move the capital from one city to another. Capital relocation has been done hundreds of times throughout history. The ancient Egyptians, Romans, and Chinese changed their capital frequently.
Some countries choose new capitals that are more easily defended in a time of invasion (侵略) or war. Some new capitals are planned and built in previously undeveloped areas to promote development. Countries sometimes change their capital because they expect some type of political, social, or economic benefit. They hope and expect that the new capitals will surely develop into cultural treasure and hopefully make the country a more stable place.
Here are capital relocations that have occurred in approximately the last few centuries.
Asia | Japan | from Kyoto to Tokyo — 1868 |
Turkey | from Istanbul to Ankara — 1923 | |
Israel | from Tel Aviv-Jaffo to Jerusalem — 1950 | |
Europe | Poland | from Krakow to Warsaw — 1596 |
Finland | from Turku to Helsinki — 1812 | |
Italy | from Turin to Florence to Salerno to Rome — 1871 | |
The Americas | The US | from New York to Washington — 1800 |
Jamaica | from Port Royal to Spanish Town to Kingston — 1872 | |
Oceania | New Zealand | from Auckland to Wellington — 1865 |
【1】Why did some countries decide to move the capital?

C.To develop undeveloped areas.
D.To declare war on another country.
【2】Which country was the earliest to move its capital?

24、 Although Paris is often considered the city of romance, close to a million adults who call it home are single. Many single people say that France’s capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people. The complaints of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as “supermarket dating”. At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet, singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list. They can look for someone who has blue eyes, brown hair, and is 1.8 meters tall, or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list.
At this Paris location, single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6:30 and 9:00 p.m. When they walk through the door, they pick up a purple basket to advise that they are looking for love. They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly, and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles. With purple baskets in hand, shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out their groceries. When they are ready to pay, they can go to the checkout line for singles who want to chat.
Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating. They know that it is easy to embellish (美化) one’s appearance or to lie about one’s age over the Internet. The supermarket, on the other hand, is considered a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match. In addition, what one finds in another’s grocery basket can say a thing or two about that person’s character or intentions. Buying pet food can be a man’s way of showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side. Women who fill their baskets with low-fat food show their healthy style of living. These days it’s possible to find much more than food at a grocery store.
【1】What do many single people in Pairs complain about?
A.The difficulty in finding a match.
