1解析:因mistake A for B (将A误以为B)是固定搭配。

答案:C。

难易度:难

2.解析:由常识可知,报社应是“发布”消息,故用announce (give information about)。

答案:B。

难易度:难

3.解析:由首句became a millionaire可知。

答案:C。

难易度:难

4.

解析:根据常识,看到自己本来死却报道死了这样的消息,特别是说自己通过kill more people faster来发财的评论,应当是“不高兴,苦恼(unhappy or annoyed)”,不可能是“兴奋的(excited)”“高兴的(pleased)”“渴望的(anxious)”。

答案:A。

难易度:难

5.解析:与destruction(毁灭)并列并且上文death原词复现故选出A。

答案:A。

难易度:难

6.

解析:由后文设立奖金可知,是为了改变自我形象,要设法“被别人充满爱与尊敬地铭记(be remember with love and respect)”。

答案:D。

难易度:难

7.

解析:由最后一句Nobel had to die before he realized…可知,是在“遗嘱(will)”中作的安排。

答案:C。

难易度:难

8.解析:根据与名词the Nobel prizes的搭配,又结合常识,应当是“设立”诺贝尔奖金。

答案:A。

难易度:难

9.

解析:奖金应当是将给那些为世界和平、文学和科学等领域做出过巨大贡献的人。make contributions to…(对……作出贡献)是固定搭配。

答案:D。

难易度:难

10.解析:这个题最有争议了。我认为这句话不可以直译为:诺贝尔在认识到他的人生的真正意义之前就不得不死去了。这不仅不合情理,也很明显与作者所设置的写作背景不符。语言是非常灵活的,我们不妨来意译:好在诺贝尔认识到了自己人生的真谛,否则他就是行尸走肉,灵魂早已死去。

而这句话,则是作者对诺贝尔的评语。可以读得出来,作者对诺贝尔的晚年还是抱赞赏态度的。

答案:B

B. The establishment of the Academy (and its awards system) has had a major effect and influence upon the film industry, due to the enormous boost a nomination or award (for a film or actor) creates, by giving prestige and bottom- line profits to a studio or performer.

C. In 1895, Alfred Nobel signed his last will and testament in Paris. Among its four closely-written pages, less than one refers to the donation which was destined to link his name with the supreme achievements of the modern world in science and literature and the cause of peace. In the will, Nobel made his lifelong love of literature clear, as one of the prizes was to be awarded to “the person who shall have produced in the field of literature the most outstanding work in an ideal direction.”

D. Regarded as China’s Nobel Prize by those in the Chinese scientific circle, the Supreme State Science and Technology Award was established in 1999 to honour scientists who make remarkable contributions to the progress of science and the commercialization of technological findings. The top honour is bestowed on no more than two individuals each year and the prize is presented by the president.

E. The Mao Dun Literature Prize was created due to Mao Dun’s wish that outstanding novels should be encouraged and communist literature should be promoted. It is one of the most honorable literature awards in China.

F. The Fields Medal plays the most importance in the world of mathematics. It is awarded by the International Mathematical Union (IMU) every four years at ICM. It is accompanied by strict conditions. Only those mathematicans below the age of 40 are eligible to receive it. This is because they are meant to encourage future endeavour.
