Ⅰ.閱讀理解(共兩節)
第一節 閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D)中,選出最佳選項。
The 2024 Nobel Prize in Literature went to the French novelist for “the art of memory with which he has uncovered the life-world of the occupation”.
Although the 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 upon him,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 who met his Belgian actress mother during the Nazi occupation of Paris.
As The New Yorker magazine put it,Europeans born in 1945 share a condition—They escaped the war,but “not the taint (污點) of the war”.
Modiano’s life has been influenced 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’s Jews were brought together to be sent to concentration camps,the businessman did not join them but spent the time making money from deals with Nazis on the black market.
“The novelist has a duty to record the lives of the people who have disappeared,the people who were made to disappear,” French writer Clemence Boulouque,also an expert in Jewish studies,told The New Yorker magazine.
In his more than three dozen novels,Modiano has returned again and again to the same themes:Jewishness,the Nazi occupation,and the loss of identity.His characters collect pieces of old evidence,handwriting,photographs,police files,and newspaper cuttings.
His most admired novel,Missing Person,is a good example.It’s the story about a detective who has lost his memory.He tries to find out who he 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 15th French literature winner.After Le Clezio’s 2008 win,it seemed unlikely that there would be another so soon.

Happiness is the only true measure of personal success.Making other people happy is the highest expression of success.1.
With that in mind,here are some suggestions that will immediately increase the amount of happiness in your life:2.
If there’s any big truth about life,it’s that it usually lives up to your expectations.Therefore,when you rise from bed,make your first thought:“Something wonderful is going to happen today.” Guess what?You’re probably right.
Take time to plan and prioritize (優先處理)

Eat high quality food slowly

1.解析:選D。根據前文可知,作者認為幸福是衡量個人幸福的重要標準,能讓別人感到開心的人是很成功的;但是下文又開始闡述如何讓自己的生活感到幸福,所以此處應該是一個轉折句。句意:如果你自己都不開心是不可能讓別人感到高興的。
2.解析:選A。根據該空后的“If there’s any big truth about life,it’s that it usually lives up to your expectations.”以及該段內容可知,本段是說人應該心懷希望。句意:充滿希望地開始每一天。
3.解析:選F。根據標題“Eat high quality food slowly”可知,本段是想告訴大家要能夠慢慢享受食物,但現實生活中我們常常做不到這樣。句意:有時候我們不可避免地迅速吃完食物然后繼續工作。
4.解析:選G。根據本段內容可知,對無法控制的未來感到焦慮是阻礙幸福的因素,我們只要專注于能夠做到的事情就好了。句意:專注于手中的事情而不是那些可能會發生的幻想。
5.解析:選E。本段主要告訴了我們每一天結束時都應該對這一天發生的事情心懷感激。句意:不論因為什么事,我們都要心懷感激,因為這樣的一天再也不會出現。
