    Born in Cape Town, South Africa, to all English-speaking family, Coetzee___(56)his breakthrough in 1980 with the novel"Waiting for the Barbarians(野蠻人)"He____(57) his place among the world's leading writers with two Booker prize victories, Britain's highest onour for novels He first_____(58)in l983forthe"Life and Times of Michael k"and his second title came in 1999 for"Disgrace" A major theme in his work is South Africa's former apartheid(種族隔離)system, which divided whites from blacks____(59)with the problems of violence, crime and racial division that still exist in the country his books have enabled ordinary people to understand apartheid____(60)within.

    答案:
    51 B 該段中有這樣一個短語"particularly difficult to catch"(很難找到他),"well known for keeping himself to himself"是"以與世隔絕為大家熟知".可以看出,根據(jù)下文,用"well known"最為合適。
    52 A hold:抱??;拿住。run into和bump into都有"撞上"的意思,這是不由一個人的主觀意志所能控制的。
    53 D 對第一段做解釋時,提到了上下文可以幫助我們做出正確的判斷。緊隨其后的是"It came as a complete surprise."(這個獎來得很突然)。"shock"和"surprise"意思很接近,因此選擇"shocked"是對的。
    54 c like作"喜歡"解時是動詞,而此處需要的是一個名詞。devotion后面跟"to",attraction是"吸引"的意思。填入后意思不太合適。因此只有"love"是正確的選項。
    55 A despite引導(dǎo)的是一個反比,主旬中有一個"easy",那么它的反義詞就是"difficult".
    56 B "幻make a breakthrough"等于"t0 break through".是周定的搭配。
    57 c "t0 take one's place"是"處于某種位子", 是固定的說法。
    58 C 這里需要填入的是一個不及物動詞,"received","obtained","had"都是及物動詞,只有"won"既可作及物動詞,又可作不及物動詞。
    59 A 在這四個動詞中,只有"deal"可跟"with"搭配。
    60 D 整個句子說的是:在處理這個國家依然存在的暴力,犯罪和種族隔離問題,他的書能使一般人從內(nèi)部理解種族隔離。"從……角度"常用"from…".
    61 D "casts its shadow"是"給……帶來影響",是固定的搭配。
    62 B "think twice"相當(dāng)于漢語中的"三思而后行".正如漢語中不說"二思而后行"一樣,英文中也不說"think three times",這是固定的說法。
    63 c 該句子的意思是,他作品中的純潔性反映到了他的個人生活中,"mirrored"是"反映"的意思。
    64 A 從下文"far greater than the things he has given up"(比起他放棄的東西要多得多)來看,選擇"contributed"是對的。全句說的是:但是,他對文學(xué)、文化、南非人民所做出的貢獻比起他放棄的東西要多得多。
    65 D 其他三個動詞填入后生成的都是不合格的句子。
