参考解析
解析：be well-known for keeping to himself意思是“以很少与人来往为大家所熟知”，符合句意。
come across , run into , bump into在语义上都有某种“偶然性”，意思是“偶然遇见”，不符合句意。particularly difficult to catch意思是“特别难找到他”，符合句意。
由后面一句话“It came as a complete surprise.”可知，Goetzee觉得这个奖来得很突然。联系上下文，可推测出当Goetzee得知他获得了诺贝尔奖时，他觉得很震惊。D项符合句意。
此处需要一个名词。like作“喜欢”解时是动词；devote是“奉献”的意思，是动词；attract 是“吸引”的意思，是动词。love既可作动词，也可作名词，因此C为正确答案。
该句意思是：尽管人们认为很难找到Goetzee，但是评论家一致认为他的作品很容易理解。despite引导的是一种反向对比，主句中有easy，那么该处应是它的反义词difficult。因此A 为正确答案。
make a breakthrough是固定搭配，意思是“取得突破”。C项符合句意。
to take one's place是固定说法，是“占据一席之地，跻身于”的意思。C项符合句意。
这个句子里没有宾语，因此需要一个不及物动词，在这四个动词中，只有“won”既可作及物动词，又可作不及物动词。其他三个词均为及物动词，所以C为正确答案。
除了deal外，handle , solve和remove后都不跟with。因此A为正确答案。
该句意思是：在处理这个国家依然存在的暴力、犯罪和种族隔离问题时，他的书能使一般人从内部理解种族隔离制度。“从……角度”常用from。因此D为正确答案。
cast its shadow on/over是固定说法，是“使不快，（在心理上）投下阴影”的意思。D项符合句意。
think twice是固定说法，是“再三考虑，慎重思考”的意思。B项符合句意。
这两个句子意思是：事实上，Coetzee作品中的这种纯洁性似乎也反映在他的个人生活之中。他是一个吃素食的人，他骑车而不开车，并且他也不喝酒。nuirror作动词时，是“反映” 的意思，符合句意。
从下文“far greater than the things he has given up（比他放弃的东西要多得多）”来看，应选择contributed。该句意思是：但是，他对文学、文化、南非人民所做出的贡献比他放弃的东西要多得多。A项符合句意。
该句意思是：Goetzee的作品表现了人类的非凡才华。express意思是“表达，表现”，符合句意。
come across , run into , bump into在语义上都有某种“偶然性”，意思是“偶然遇见”，不符合句意。particularly difficult to catch意思是“特别难找到他”，符合句意。

You don't know what you've got till it's gone,Joni Mitchell rold us.So now that the 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature will be postponed-it seems worth asking what,exactly,the prize gives us.For decades,the choices of the Swedish Academy have failed to provoke much interest from American publishers and readers.This i.s not just because American readers are resistant to fiction in translation,as publishers often complain.On the contrary,over the last two decades,many foreign writers have made a major impact on American literature.But then,the failure of the Swedish Academy to reflect the actual judgment of literary history is nothing new.If you drew a Venn diagram showing the winners of the Nobel Prize in one circle and the most influential and widely read 20th-century writers in the other,their area of overlap would be surprisingly small.Does this mean that a different group of critics and professors in a bigger,more diverse country woulcl have done a better job at picking the winners?Very possibly.In the mind of the general public,the Nobel basically descends from the sky to bless the winner.But it is nothing more or less than the decision of a particular group of readers,with their own strengths and weaknesses.And the problem with the Nobel Prize in Literature goes deeper.No matter who is in the room where it happens,the Nobel Prize is based on the idea that merit can best be determined by a small group of specialists.This may make sense for the prizes in the sciences,since those fields are less than penetrable to anyone but fellow practitioners.Even in the sciences,however,there is a growing sense that the tradition of awarding the prize to just one or two people distoris the way modern science is actually practiced today:Most important discoveries are the work of teams,not of individual geniuses brooding in isolation.Literature is at least produced by individual authors;but in this case,the Nobel's reliance on seemingly expert judgment runs into a different problem.For literature is not addressed to an audience of experts;it is open to the judgment of every reader.Nor is literature proZressive,with new discoveries replacing old ones:Homer is just as groundbreaking today as he was 2,500 years ago.This makes it impossible to rank literary works according to an objective standard of superiority.Good criticism helps people to find the books that will speak to them,but it doesn't attempt to simply name"the most outstanding work,"in the way the Nobel Prize does.A book earns the status of a classic,not because it is approved by a committee or put on a syllabus,but simply because a lot of people like it for a long time.Literary reputation can only emerge on the free market,not through central planning.Which of the following is true of the Nobel Prize in Literature according to Para.3?A.Its judges are narrow-minded.B.lts value is overstated by the public.C.Its decision is interfered by amateurs.D.Its rewards for the winners are falling.

Medicine Award Kicks off Nobel Prize Announcements【诺贝尔奖的公布从医学奖开始】 Two scientists who have won praise for research into the growth of cancer cells could be candidates for the Nobel Prize in medicine when the 2008 winners are presented on Monday, kicking off six days of Nobel announcements. Australian-born U. S. citizen Elizabeth Blackburn and American Carol Greider have already won a series of medical honors for their enzyme research and experts say they could be among the front-runners for a Nobel. Only seven women have won the medicine prize since the first Nobel Prizes were handed out in 1901. The last female winner was U. S. researcher Linda Buck in 2004, who shared the prize with Richard Axel. Among the pair's possible rivals are Frenchman Pierre Chambon and Americans Ronald Evans and Elwood Jensen, who opened up the field of studying proteins called nuclear hormone receptors. As usual, the award committee is giving no hints about who is in the running before presenting its decision in a news conference at Stockholm's Karolinska Institute. Alfred Nobel, the Swede who invented dynamite, established the prizes in his will in the categories of medicine, physics, chemistry,, literature and peace. The economics prize is technically not a Nobel but a 1968 creation of Sweden's central bank. Nobel left few instructions on how to select winners, but medicine winners are typically awarded for a specific breakthrough rather than a body of research. Hans Jornvall, secretary of the medicine prize committee, said the 10 million kronor ( US $1.3 million. prize encourages groundbreaking research but he did not think winning it was the primary goal for scientists. "Individual researchers probably don't look at themselves as potential Nobel Prize winners when they're at work," Jornvall told The Associated Press. "They get their kicks from their research and their interest in how life functions." In 2006, Blackburn, of the University of California, San Francisco, and Greider, of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, shared the Lasker prize for basic medical research with Jack Szostak of Harvard Medical School. Their work set the stage for research suggesting that cancer cells use telomerase to sustain their uncontrolled growth.文章(31~35)Who is NOT a likely candidate for this year's Nobel Prize in medicine? A Elizabeth Blackburn. B Carol Greider . C Linda Buck. D Pierre Chambon.
Which was NOT originally one of the Nobel Prizes?A The medicine prize. B The literature prize. C The peace prize. D The economics prize.
