The Academy said it awarded Tokarczuk for imaginative writing that “represents the crossing of boundaries as a form of life.”

The Polish writer’s first published work came in 1989, a book of poetry called Cities in Mirrors. Her first novel, The Journey of the Book-People, was published in 1993. Last year, Tokarczuk became the first Polish writer to win Britain’s Man Booker Prize for International Literature for her novel Flights. Her novel Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead, was on the short list of nominees for the 2019 prize as well. That prize went to another writer. Tokarczuk spoke Thursday with readers hours after she won the Nobel. “I can only write.” She said.

The Swedish Academy said it named Peter Handke winner of the 2018 prize for “influential work that with linguistic gift has explored the boundary and the specificity of human experience.” Handke’s first novel was published in 1966. He also writes plays and is a political organizer. The Austrian writer was an opponent(反对者) of NATO’s air attacks against Serbia in the Kosovo war of thelate1990s.He was a supporter of the Serbian government under the leadership of Slobodan Milosevic. He has denied that Bosnian Serb troops carried out a campaign killing of 8, 000 locals in Srebrenica during the Bosnian war in the 1990s. As a result, some critics are angry that he was given the Nobel Prize.

At home in Paris Thursday, Handke called the decision to give him the literature award “courageous.” He said the recognition gave him “a strange kind of freedom.”

Once a traveler came to a village, hungry. The villagers tried to stop the traveler from staying, fearing he wanted to give him food. They told him there was no food anywhere to be found. The traveler explained he didn't need any food and that in fact, he was planning to make a soup to share with all of them. The villagers watched strangely as he built a fire and filled a large pot with water. Then he pulled a stone from a bag, dropping the stone into the pot. He tasted the soup and said how delicious the stone soup was. As the villagers began to show interest, he said how good the soup would be with just a little cabbage in it. A villager brought out a cabbage to share. This event repeated itself until the soup had cabbage, carrots and onions indeed, a large soup that fed everyone in the village.

Are you like one of the villagers, holding back? If you come forward and share your gifts, you will encourage others to do the same. The reward is a gift that can benefit many.

【题目】阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

As any younger brother will tell you, having a big brother involves a lot of walking in someone else’s shadow, especially when you have a brother who is a typical example of “cool”. For years I wanted to do everything my elder brother Tyson did, but no matter how hard I tried, I was always the neglected (被忽略的) one. My legs just weren’t made to run like his. I could never play football or basketball well.

I probably would have continued trying to keep up with him for the rest of my high school career, but when my family moved, everything changed. Tyson left for college, so I had to start at a new school all by myself. This new start gave me an opportunity to redefine myself and discover an entirely new version of “cool”.

I don’t know what made me decide to try some new activities at the new school, but one day I chanced to show up for an after-school meeting of the Science Olympiad team. I had always been fascinated with chemistry, biology, and math, but since those interests hadn’t fit Tyson’s definition of “cool”, I had never pursued them. On this day, for some reason, I did.

As we organized teams, prepared resources and practiced answering questions, I felt more connected than I ever had to any sports team. I didn’t feel as though I needed to keep up with anybody else; I was finally with peers who understood me. It was so good to feel accepted for what I’m good at. For the first time in my life, I actually felt cool. Now I know who I am! I’m Tyson’s little brother, but that’s only part of my identity. I’m a cool guy in my own way, too. I’m relieved to know that “cool” has a much broader definition than what I used to think.

Dumplings are the most essential and popular food for Winter Solstice especially in northern China. There is a legend for this 【1】 (tradition ) food. Zhang Zhongjing, a famous medical scientist at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, found his fellow-townsmen 【2】(suffer) from coldness and hunger in winter. More 【3】(severe), many of them had terrible chilblains (冻疮) in the ears. On the Winter Festival, he cooked food named Jiao Er 【4】 a stuffing (馅）of medicine and other ingredients resisting the cold to feed these people, and they recovered soon.

Nowadays, there are different 【5】 (custom) in southern and northern China. As a popular saying goes in northern China that "Have dumplings for Winter Solstice and noodles for Summer Solstice."

【题目】 The biggest safety threat facing airlines today may not be a terrorist with a gun, but the man with the portable computer in business class. In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference. The source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic device such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.

RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation (航空) industry, has recommended that all airlines ban such devices from being used during “critical” stages of flight, particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.

The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft’s computers. Experts know that portable device emit radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not.

The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio systems in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the passenger who can’t hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music’s too loud.

【1】The passage is mainly about _____.

A.a new regulation for an airlines

B.the drawbacks of electronic devices

C.a possible cause of aircraft incidents

D.effective safety measures for air flight

【2】What is said about the over 100 aircraft incidents in the past 15 years?

A.They may have been caused by the damage to the radio systems.

B.They may have taken place during take-off and landing.

C.They were proved to have been caused by the passengers’ portable computers.

D.They were suspected to have resulted from electromagnetic interference.

【3】Few airlines want to impose a total ban on their passengers using electronic devices because ______.

A.they don’t believe there is such a danger as radio interference

B.the harmful effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be proved

C.most passengers refuse to take a plane which bans the use of radio and cassette players

D.they have other effective safety measures to fall back on

【4】It can be inferred from the passage that the author _____.

A.hasn’t expressed his own opinion on this problem

B.has overestimated the danger of electromagnetic interference

C.is in favor of prohibiting passengers’ use of electronic devices completely

D.regards it as unreasonable to exercise a total ban during flight

【题目】 We assume exercise improves our mental health. But what kind of exercise works best? Researchers analyzed the effect of different types of exercise. They looked at the link between physical activities and mental health and found team sports were the best, followed by cycling, either on the road or a stationary bike. Physical activities typically performed in groups, such as team sports and gym classes, provided greater benefits than running or walking.

Researchers rated mental health based on a survey. It asked respondents how many days in the previous month their mental health was “not good” due to stress, depression or problems withemotions. People who played team sports like soccer and basketball reported 22.3% fewer poor mental-health days than those who didn’t exercise. Those who ran or jogged fared 19% better, while those who did household chores 11.8% better.

They found team sports may have an extra benefit because of the social component, and yoga or tai chi can promote mindfulness, which is often touted as beneficial for mental health.

The researchers also found that those who exercise between 30 and 60 minutes had the best mental health, with 45 minutes the optimal duration. Exercising three to five times a week correlated with fewer dark days. “Over 90 minutes of exercise and there isn’t an extra benefit,” Dr. Chekroud said.

The study analyzed the exercise habits and mental health of 1.2 million US adults, based on self-reported answers to survey questions from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It wasn’t a randomized controlled study and just an association between exercise and better mental health. It can’t explain if poor mental health causes people to exercise less or exercise causes people to have better mental health.

【1】Which exercise will best help to cheer up the depressed?

A.Running and jogging outdoors.B.Playing soccer and basketball.

C.Doing some household chores.D.Cycling or riding a stationary bike.

【2】What do the researchers say about team sports?

A.They boost self-esteem.B.They offer inner peace.

C.They involve interaction.D.They help achieve goals.

【3】What Dr. Chekroud said means that_______.

A.more exercise isn’t always better

B.exercise habits decide mental health

C.exercise leads to better mental health

D.mental health causes people to exercise

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.What sports work best for mental health?B.More exercise, better mental health!

C.Less exercise, poor mental health!D.What is the good effect of exercise?
