Passage 6

(10·山东C篇)

Rae Armantrout, who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego(UCSD) for two decades, has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most recent book, “Versed”.

“I’m delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings, as compared to even the National Book Critics Award, which I was also surprised and delighted to win,” said Armantrout.

“For a long time, my writing has been just below the media radar, and to have this kind of attention, suddenly, with my 10th book, is really surprising.”

Armantrout, a native Californian, received her bachelor’s degree at UC Berkeley, where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov, and her master’s in creative writing from San Francisco State University. She is a founding member of Language Poets, a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think.

In March, she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for “Versed.”

“This book has gotten more attention,” Armantrout said, “but I don’t feel as if it’s better.”

The first half of “Versed” focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq. The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.

Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not. “Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry,” said Seth Lerer, head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD.

“Versed”, published by the Wesleyan University Press, did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works, which is about 2,700 copies. The new edition is scheduled to appear in May.

49. 答案:D

考点:考主旨大意

解析:提示在文章第一段结尾句 “Hey, stop! This is no vacation-you have to finish something!”和第二段第二句 “but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those things,”说明了没有想到“度假也可以谋生”的欣喜之情。

Passage 5

(10·山东A篇)

Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that weren't bad enough, he had no health insurance.

After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar,, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones-a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.    Jason Swencki’s son, Kody, was diagnosed with type diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children's forums(论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over," says Swencki, one of the site's volunteers. "They know what he's going through, so he doesn't feel alone."

Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.    These days, Thomas's main focus is his charity(慈善机构), Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people-225 to date-who can't afford a diabetic's huge expenses. Fight-it.org has raised about $23,000-in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean.    Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his full-time job waiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure," says Bentley Gubar,  one of Rockstar's original members. "But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now." 56. Which of the following is true of Christopher Thomas?

A.   He needs to go to the doctor every day.

B.   He studies the leading cause of diabetes

C.   He has a positive attitude to this disease.

D.   He encourages diabetics by writing articles.

解析:细节理解题。通读全文可知,Christopher Thomas对于自己的疾病采取了积极的态度,所以C项正确。A项与Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life不符;B项与文中的Thomas开办网站,与病人及其家属分享有关的信息和资源不符;D项提到的写作是Thomas的专职工作,而他的志愿工作才是运作Fight It 这个慈善机构。

答案:C

was created for _________.

  A. diabetics to communicate      B. volunteers to find jobs

  C. children to amuse themselves    D. rock stars to share resources.

解析:细节理解题。根据a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones-a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources可知A项正确。

答案:A
