Question

15．The 2104 Nobel Prize for Literature went to the French novelist Patrick Modiano"for the art of memory"with which he has"uncovered the life-world of the occupation"．
    （21）Althoughthe 69-year-old writer is a very popular literary figure in France，he is little known elsewhere．So who is this Patrick Modiano，why does his memory have such an influence（22）uponhim，and what exactly has he uncovered？
    Modiano was born in a suburb of Paris right after World War II ended in Europe in July 1945．His father was a Jewish-Italian businessman （23）who/thatmet his Belgian actress mother during the Nazi occupation of Paris．Modiano's life has been affected by Nazi Germany's occupation during the war，and his family's connections to it．According to New York-based newspaper Forward，his father survived the war dishonorably．When Paris Jews（24）were brought（bring） together for deportation （遣送） to concentration camps，the businessman did not join them but spent the time （25）making（make） money from deals with Nazis on the black market．
His most （26）admired（admire） novel，Missing Person，is a good example of his three dozen novels with the same themes：Jewishness，the Nazi occupation，and loss of identity．It's a story about a detective who has lost his memory．He tries to find out（27）whohe really is by following his own steps through history．
Although Modiano's win is a surprise outside France，people are celebrating in his home country．Modiano is the 15^th French literature winner．After Le Clezio's 2008 win，it seemed unlikely（28）thatthere would be another so soon．

Answer 1

分析 本文作者主要介绍了法国小说家帕特里克获得2014年诺贝尔文学奖的原因（即他的作品"唤起了对最不可捉摸的人类命运的记忆"），他的生活背景，家庭出身及其作品《暗店街》等的影响力．

解答 答案：
21．Although  考查句意理解以及从属连词  本句的意思是：虽然这位69岁的作家在法国是一个很受欢迎的文学人物，但他在其他地方却鲜为人知；此处用来引导让步状语从句，意为：虽然，尽管；故用Although．
22．upon/on   考查固定搭配  have an influence upon/on意为：对…有影响；故用upon/on． 
23．who/that  考查关系代词  本句为定语从句；由于先行词businessman （指人），在该从句中作主语，故用 who/that．
24．were brought    考查时态及语态  本句的意思是：当巴黎犹太人被带到集中营流放时； 由于此处讲述的是历史故事，所以应使用一般过去时；由于主语 Paris Jews与动词bring是被动关系，所以应使用一般过去时态的被动语态；故用were brought．
25．making   考查固定短语   spend time（in） doing意为：花费时间做…；故用making．
26．admired  考查过去分词   此处在句中作定语，修饰名词novel；由于动词admire与该名词是被动关系，故用过去分词admired．
27．who   考查句意理解以及特殊疑问词    本句的意思是：他试图通过他自己的历史经历来弄清楚他到底是谁；此处用来引导宾语从句，意为：谁；故用who．
28．that  考查固定句型   it seems/seemed unlikely that意为：似乎不可能…；其中的it为形式主语，用来指代真正的主语即that从句；故用that．

点评 本题主要考查了各种语法在短文中的具体运用．做本题时，需要在正确理解短文的前提下，逐句分析句意以及所考查到的语法现象；因此在平时的学习中，应熟练掌握各种语法知识，其中包括词法，句法，各种时态语态以及虚拟语气等．
