Bob Dylan has own the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature, announced Sara Danius, Swedish Academy’s permanent secretary, on Oct. 13, 2016 in Stockholm, Sweden.

The Swedish Academy said it chose Dylan for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition. “As an artist, he is outstandingly all-round: he has been an active painter and actor," said the official statement. U. S. President Barack Obama congratulated Dylan on Twitter, describing him as one of his favorite poets.

Singer and songwriter Dylan is recognized worldwide for the influence he has had on music. He became a symbol of the 1960s counterculture (反主流文化) but his voice has reached widely into the American past. Since early in his career, Dylan has experimented with the combination of the literary and the musical.

Dylan had been mentioned in the Nobel prediction for years, but few experts expected the academy to extend the award to a genre (体裁) such as pop music. He’s the first American winner of the Nobel Literature Prize since Toni Morrison in 1992. The choice was met by a long round of applause from journalists attending the prize announcement. Sara Danius said that while Dylan performs his poetry in the form of songs, that’s no different from the ancient Greeks, whose works were often performed to music.

Dylan’s early rock classics such as The Times They Are A-Changin’, and A Hard Rains Gonna Fall, help to get cross the thoughts and feelings of the counterculture. The music publication Rolling Stone released a list of the “100 Greatest Bob Dylan Songs” in honor of his 75th birthday earlier this year.

1.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?

A. What Nobel Prize Dylan won in 2016.

B. How Dylan influences music worldwide.

C. Who congratulated Dylan on winning the prize.

D. Why Dylan was awarded the Nobel Literature Prize.

2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “extend” in Paragraph 4?

A. allocate B. deliver C. offer D. compensate

3.What do we know about Dylan from the text?

A. He is Barack Obama’s favorite finger.

B. He performs poetry in the form of songs.

C. He had never been expected to win a Nobel Prize.

D. He is the first American to win the Nobel Literature Prize.

4.What’s the journalists’ attitude towards Dylan’s winning the Nobel Literature Prize?

A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Skeptical. D. Uncaring.

Love to sink into your chairs and relax when you get to school? Then you will not be happy to hear that schools all over the world are seriously considering exchanging traditional desks for ones with no seats at all — Yes, that means you will be encouraged to stand through those already too long math and science lessons! Why would anyone even think of putting kids to such cruelty? Experts say it improves their health and helps fight obesity. While that may seem a little far-fetched (牵强的) the officials at the few schools around the world seem to agree.

Among them are educators from the College Station Independent School District in Texas, who recently completed a week-long experiment involving 480 students across three elementary schools. The 374 kids that agreed to participate in the study were provided a device that helped record step count and calorie consumption over the entire period.

All 25 teachers involved in the study reported that students appeared to be more alert and concentrate better, when allowed to stand. The one thing that did surprise the researchers was that younger kids were more willing to stay standing than kids in higher grades. They believe this may have something to do with the fact that after years of being asked to “sit still”, older kids have a harder time adjusting to this unexpected freedom.

American schools are not the only ones reporting success with stand-up desks. Four Catholic schools in Perth, Australia, which have been testing them since October 2013, have seen similar results. In May 2014, Grove House Primary School in Bradford, West Yorkshire, became Europe’s first test one, with a seven-week trial that involved the use of desks made by Ergotron in their fifth-grade classrooms. While official results are not out yet, early reactions from both teachers and students, have been extremely encouraging.

The findings of these studies and others done previously, all seem to mean that allowing kids to move around in classrooms is a win-win for students and teachers — it helps kids get healthier and provides educators with a more engaged audience.

1.According to the first paragraph, what may make the students at school unhappy is that ________.

A. they have to exchange desks with each other

B. they have to exchange traditional desks for ones with no seats

C. there are no seats for them to sit in class

A. they are cleverer than younger students

B. they are easily tired of standing long

C. they have formed the habit of sitting

D. they do badly in class while standing

3.What is most likely to be the result of the seven-week trial?

A. The standing desks can’t be used at all.

B. It is good for students to use stand-up desks.

C. More tests should be done in other schools.

D. The students are different in personality.

4.Why do the teachers like the standing desks?

A. Because the educators can draw the students’ attention.

B. Because the teachers can keep the students healthy.

C. Because the students can have a walk in the classroom.

For humans, climbing Mount Qomolangma is seen as a great impressive achievement. People make movies, write books, and have essentially developed a whole industry surrounding the challenge that is this mountain. While we consider climbing the mountain as an athletic achievement, there is one animal, the bar-headed goose, does not think so.

As the species migrates (迁徙) from Central Asia to Southeast Asia every autumn, it must cross over the Himalayan range. These mountains force the bar-headed goose to fly at around 30,000 feet above sea level, which is the highest altitude for migratory birds.

These geese have special adaptions that allow them to survive at the altitude. For example, a special protein (蛋白质) in blood cells that transports oxygen throughout the body allows their blood cells to combine with oxygen. Their circulatory system provides a constant supply of fresh, oxygenated blood to their wing muscles (肌肉). They have much larger lungs than other birds, which give them the ability to take in more air.

Scientists initially believe that the geese flow at an extremely high altitude for the full length of their migration. But later the data suggests that the birds use a much more effective way of travel. Instead of remaining at an extremely high altitude to fly over the mountain range, the geese hug the mountains, flying up and down depending on the obstacles (障碍物) in their way. This works better for them because they don’t have to use all their energy flying in an area with low oxygen; they can spend time flying at lower altitudes.

The geese also make use of nature to make this work easier. To fly down, they simply allow gravity to pull them. To fly back up, they make use of orographic (地形的) lift, which happens when flowing air meets an obstacle, such as a mountain. The mountain forces the air up, creating an upward draft. The birds take advantage of this draft, expending less of their own energy to fly up the mountain.

The way these birds have adapted to flying across the Asian continent during their annual migration is certainly an amazing way to see nature at work.

1.What does the underlined part "this work” in Paragraph 5 most probably refer to?

A. To fly down. B. To fly back up.

C. To fly over the mountain. D. To fly at lower altitudes.

2.How do the geese behave while crossing over the Himalayan range?

A. By flowing at an extremely high altitude all the way.

B. By taking advantage of the orographic lift.

C. By smoothing the obstacles in their way.

D. By forcing the air up, creating an upward draft.

3.What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. The geese’s amazing migration.

B. The highest flying record of geese.

C. The flying mystery of geese.

D. Mount Qomolangma and its geese.

The ninth week of SEAL (Sea, Air, Land) training is referred to (意指) as Hell Week. It is six days of no sleep, physical and mental suffering and one special day at the Mud Flats (泥沼) where you will sink into the mud.

It is on Wednesday of Hell Week that we came down to the mud flats and spend the next 15 hours keeping alive in the freezing-cold mud, the cold wind and the strong pressure from the instructors to give up.

As the sun began to set that Wednesday evening, my training class, having broken some of the rules, was ordered into the mud. We sank into the mud until only our heads could be seen. The instructors told us we could leave the mud if only five men would give up — just five men and we could get out of the cold.

Looking around the mud flat, it was clear that some of us were about to give up. It was still over eight hours till the sun came up—eight more hours of coldness. Our cries were so loud that it was hard to hear anything. And then, one voice began to fly through the night—one voice raised in song.

The song sounded terrible, but it was sung with great power. One voice became two, and two became three, and before long everyone in the class was singing.

We knew that if one man could rise above the suffering then others could as well. The instructors warned us of more time in the mud if we kept up the singing—but the singing went on and on. And somehow, the mud seemed a little warmer, the wind a little weaker and the morning not so far away.

If I have learned anything in my time traveling the world, it is the power of hope. The power can change the world by giving people hope.

So, if you want to change the world, start singing when you’re up to your neck in mud.
