    　　Good afternoon, and welcome to England. We hope that your visit here will be a pleasant one. Today, I would like to draw your attention to a few of our laws.
    　　The first one is about drinking. Now, you may not buy alcohol in this country if you are under 18 years of age, nor may your friends buy it for you.

    　　When you have something to throw away, please put it in your pocket and take it home, or put it in a litter bin. Finally, as regards smoking, it is against the law to buy cigarettes or tobacco if you are under 16 years of age.
    　　I'd like to finish by saying that if you require any sort of help or assistance, you should contact your local police station, who will be pleased to help you.

    More than a hundred reporters from around the world thronged and bustled in the Stock Exchange Building in Stockholm's Old Town for about an hour before the doors to the Swedish Academy swung open. Notably, there were many Japanese reporters present, hoping to break the news that Haruki Murakami had won the prize. Finally, the Swedish Academy's Permanent Secretary Peter Englund stepped out from the doors and said Canadian short story writer Alice Munro has won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature.
    The following is a truncated Q&A with reporters and Englund. (The questions have been simplified and clarified.)
    Why did Alice Munro win?
    We gave her the Nobel Prize in Literature because she is a master of the contemporary short story.
    Which book to begin with?
    One of the amazing things about her is that she has no weak works in her writing. She has always worked to the best of her ability; she has always cultivated the short story to perfection. And she has never really written a weak or bad book. So you can take your pick. 'The Moons of Jupiter' was the first book I read by her and you can see both her different themes in that book and also her very special narrative mode, you can find it there. She tells her stories a bit like nobody else. She has a very economical language and sparse style. You can find that in 'The Moons of Jupiter.' You can take your pick. The latest one is obviously very interesting, 'Dear Life,' which contains a number of autobiographical sketches at the end that gives a key to the entire authorship of Alice Munro.
    How was she informed?
    Well, I left a message on her answering machine. I couldn't reach her and it was of course pretty early in the morning. But she will be notified by courier, by email to her both agents, by standard mail and so on.
    What kind of message did you leave?
    Basically, congratulations! You've won the Nobel Prize in literature.
    What's the Importance of a woman winning?
    Don't ask me. We picked her for excellence, nothing else. Of course it matters when you start doing the headcount. But she is no representative. She has received this prize just because of what she has done. Nothing else.
    So the sexual balance doesn't count?
    We don't have these kinds of quotas; thank god ... We don't have any quotas. We could, if we wanted to, award this prize four times in a row to a children's book writer working in the United States. If we wanted to. We can do as we please. We don't have to fill any quotes in any direction. We just give it to authors who show an extraordinary literary quality. One of these is Mrs. Alice Munro.
    小题1:Why were there so many Japanese reporters in the Stock Exchange Building in Stockholm's Old Town?
    A．They were waiting there to report who would win the 2013 Nobel Prize in 2013.
    B．They had expected that Haruki Murakami would win the prize.
    C．They just wanted to be the first to report the 2013 Noble Prize winner.
    D．They were waiting in the stock market to give the world a big surprise.
    小题2:Alice Munro would most probably be informed of her winning by ________?
    A．picking up her answering machineB．email from both of her agents
    C．standard mailD．The passage doesn’t clarify it.
    小题3:According to the passage, Alice Munro was awarded the 2013 Noble Prize in Literature mainly for ________.
    A．she has an obvious advantage over Haruki Murakami
    B．it is rare for a woman to have written so many perfect stories
    C．she is a master of the contemporary short story
    D．she deserves a prize for her hard work for so many years
    小题4:Alice Munro is best known for her work ________.
    A．“Dear Life”, which contains a number of autobiographical sketches that gives a key to her entire authorship
    B．“The Moons of Jupiter”, which represented both her different themes and also her very special narrative mode
    C．“DanceoftheHappyShades”, which helped her win the first Governor General’s Award
    D．no specific work, but the uniqueness and perfection reflected in all her works

    C
    (1)Mr. Brown(the motorist)
    At about 9∶20 p.m. on October 14th, I was driving along Market Road in the direction of Midwick. I wanted to go to Sturham to collect my wife, who had been visiting some friends. I prepared to turn into Sturham Road, which was on my right. In the distance, I saw the lights of a car moving towards me but it was a long way from me. I put out my hand to show that I was going to turn right. Then I started to turn slowly towards Sturham Road. Suddenly there was a loud noise on the passenger’s (near) side of the car. I stopped the car and got out. A motorcycle had hit my car. The motorcyclist had been thrown over the car. He was injured, so I ran to a shop to phone for help.
    (2)Mr. Smith (the injured motorcyclist)
    On the evening of October 14th, I was going home along Market Road towards Newtown. I was riding my motorcycle. I was going slowly because some of the streetlights were out and the road was wet and slippery. Just before Sturham Road, a car suddenly drove right across my path. The driver did not flash his lights to give a warning. I could not turn in time, so I hit the side of the car. When I woke up, I was lying in a hospital in Market Road.
    (3)Mr. Lee (another motorcyclist)
    At about 9∶10p.m.on October 14th, I left my home in Midwick. Ten minutes later I was riding my motorcycle along Market Road. I was going to Newtown. There was a motorcycle about 40 metres in front of me. It was not going very quickly. The man on it was riding near the curb(路边) but I was near the center of the road. The motorcyclist in front of me tried to turn to his right but there was no time. He hit the car and was injured. There was no car going along in front of us or put by the road.
    50．Which or these pictures exactly shows the scene of the accident?
    X＝the place where the motorcycle hit the car; N＝Newtown; M＝Midwick; S＝Sturham. (Note that cars and motorcycles always keep to the left in England.)

    51．Which of these statements about the accident is probably correct?
    A．Mr. Brown wrongly supposed that the lights of the two motorcycles were those of a car.
    B．The lights of the car moving towards Mr. Brown made him unable to see.
    C．Mr. Brown knocked down a motorcyclist on purpose.
    D．The accident was caused by the carelessness of the first motorcyclist.
    52．It seems probable from the statements that Mr. Brown_______.
    A．gave no signal to show that he was turning right
    B．did not give any signal until he was actually turning
    C．failed to give a proper signal at that time
    D．flashed his light to show that he was going to turn
    53．We would expect to find that Mr. Brown’s car was damaged on its______ side.
    A．front　　　　　B．left　　　　　C．right　　　　　D．driver’s
