1.因mistake A for B (将A误以为B)是固定搭配。
2.由常识可知,报社应是“发布”消息,故用announce (give information about)。
3.由首句became a millionaire可知。
4.根据常识,看到自己本来死却报道死了这样的消息,特别是说自己通过kill more people faster来发财的评论,应当是“不高兴,苦恼(unhappy or annoyed)”,不可能是“兴奋的(excited)”“高兴的(pleased)”“渴望的(anxious)”。
25与destruction(毁灭)并列并且上文death原词复现故选出A。
5.由后文设立奖金可知,是为了改变自我形象,要设法“被别人充满爱与尊敬地铭记(be remember with love and respect)”。
6.由最后一句Nobel had to die before he realized…可知,是在“遗嘱(will)”中作的安排。
7.根据与名词the Nobel prizes的搭配,又结合常识,应当是“设立”诺贝尔奖金。
8.奖金应当是将给那些为世界和平、文学和科学等领域做出过巨大贡献的人。make contributions to…(对……作出贡献)是固定搭配。
9.这个题最有争议了。我认为这句话不可以直译为:诺贝尔在认识到他的人生的真正意义之前就不得不死去了。这不仅不合情理,也很明显与作者所设置的写作背景不符。语言是非常灵活的,我们不妨来意译:好在诺贝尔认识到了自己人生的真谛,否则他就是行尸走肉,灵魂早已死去。
而这句话,则是作者对诺贝尔的评语。可以读得出来,作者对诺贝尔的晚年还是抱赞赏态度的。

For a writer, there is hardly any greater honor than winning the Nobel Prize for literature.
And for a woman writer, claiming the prize is even harder, for only eight women once won it. Austria’s Elfriede Jelinek is the ninth and the first since 1996.
The Stockholm-based Swedish Academy announced last Thursday that Jelinek won this year’s Nobel Prize in literature. She is recognized for her socially critical(批判的) novels and plays.
Jelinek, 57, made her literary debut (初次露面) in 1967. She has written plays, novels and poetry. She is best known for her autobiographical 1983 novel “The Piano Teacher”, made into a movie in 2001.
The basic theme of her work is the inability of women to live as people beyond the roles and personalities traditionally expected of them. Her characters struggle to lead lives not normally acceptable in society. “The nature of Jelinek’s texts is often hard to define. They shift between prose(散文) and poetry and songs, they contain theatrical scenes and film script,” said the academy.
The Nobel Prize was founded by Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel. Nobel died in 1896 and left his fortune of about US $920 million to a fund to honor people who have helped other human beings. This year each prize is worth US $13 million.
【小题1】 The underlined word “them” in the last second paragraph refers to _______.

A.she was an Austrian woman writer

【小题3】 Which of the following about the Nobel Prize is TRUE?
A.It is harder for a woman writer to win than a man writer.
B.The total prize every year was $920 million.
C.Women writers were not awarded until 1996.
D.Only eight women writers won the prize since 1996.
【小题4】This passage is most likely taken from _______.

A Nobel Prize is considered by most people one of the highest international honors a person can receive. As you know, the prizes were started by a Sweden called Sweden Alfred Nobel. Alfred Nobel was born in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, and lived from 1833 to 1896.
Alfred Nobel was a chemist and inventor. He made two important inventions, so he became very rich. Although he was rich, Nobel was not a happy man. He never married or had children. Also, he was a sick man in large part of his life. Nobel died at the age of sixty-three. When he died, he left a fund of $9,000,000. The money was to be used in giving prizes to those who made outstanding achievement in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and the promotion(促进)of the world peace.
The first Nobel Prize were given on December 10th,1901, five years after Nobel’s death. Many famous people all over the world have been given Nobel Prizes for their achievements. Albert Einstein was one of them.
Each prize has three parts. The first part is a gold medal. Second, a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a diploma saying that he has been given the prize. The third part of the prize is a large amount of money---about $40,000.
Often a prize is given to just one person, but not always. Sometimes a prize is shared. It might be given to two or more people who have worked together. It is also sometimes true that a prize is not given at all if there is no outstanding achievement. In 1972, for example, not a Nobel Prize was given. It is the Nobel Foundation in Stockholm that decides whether to give the prize or not.
