20.It's hard to find Alice Munro in the media.Even after she won the 2013Nobel Prize in Literature,the Canadian writer just appeared for a quick interview and then dropped out of sight.On Dec 29th,she still didn't seek the spotlight when she was named one of the five Women of the Year by the Financial Times.
In Munro's eyes,ordinary lives always hide larger dramas.So she records what we casually think of as the everyday actions of normal people.She often focuses on life in her hometown,a small village in Ontario which she is most familiar with.She writes about the ordinary things in the village-trees in the Ontario wilderness,poor country schools and long last illnesses.Above all,she talks about girls and women who have seemingly ordinary lives but struggle against daily misfortune.
She has a special talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary.These are ordinary people,ordinary stories,but she has the magic.Her precise language,depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made her stories inviting.
Runaway,one of Munro's representative works,is a good example of her writing style.One of the stories centers on the life of an ordinary woman Carla,who lives in a small Canadian town with her husband Clark.The story slowly forms a picture of Carla,trapped in a bad marriage,her unhappiness building into desperation until she decides to flee.The story of Carla is a story of the power and betrayals of love.It is about lost children and lost chances that we can all find in life.There is pain beneath the surface,like a needle in the heart.
Since she published her first collection of short stories in 1968,Munro has won many awards,with the Nobel Prize being her biggest honor.On Oct 10th,2013,the Nobel Prize committee named Munro the"master of the contemporary short story".

16.The garden city was largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard (1850-1928).After immigrating from England to the USA,and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer,he moved to Chicago,where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871.In those days,it was nicknamed"the Garden City",almost certainly the source of Howard's name for his later building plan of towns.Returning to London,Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s,drawing on ideas that were popular at the time,but creating a unique combination of designs.
The nineteenthcentury poor city was in many ways a terrible place,dirty and crowded; but it offered economic and social opportunities.At the same time,the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive:though it promised fresh air and nature,it suffered from agricultural depression(萧条) and it offered neither enough work and wages,nor much social life.Howard's idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement,the garden city.Howard's idea was that a group of people should set up a company,borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside,far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price.
Garden cities would provide a central public open space,radial avenues and connecting industries.They would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt,also owned by the company,containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions.As more and more people moved in,the garden city would reach its planned limit-Howard suggested 32,000 people; then,another would be started a short distance away.Thus,over time,there would develop a vast planned house collection,extending almost without limit; within it,each garden city would offer a wide range of jobs and services,but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system,thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city.

32.How did Howard get the name for his building plan of garden cities?D
A.By taking other people's advice.
B.Through the combination of different ideas.
C.Through his observation of the country life.
D.By using the nickname of the reconstructed Chicago.
33.According to Howard,garden cities should be builtB.
A.as far as possible from existing cities
B.in the countryside where the land was cheap
C.in the countryside where agriculture was developed
D.near cities where employment opportunities already existed
34.The passage mainly talks aboutC.
A.a new city in Chicago
B.the invention of the garden city
C.a well-known garden city in England
D.the differences between the countryside and the city
35.What can we learn about garden cities from the last paragraph?A
A.Their number would get larger and larger.
B.Every garden city would continue to become larger.
C.more and more people moved out of the garden city.
D.Each garden city would offer a wide range of houses.
