2．The literary world has a new star.Novelist Abdulrazak Gurnah is the winner of the 2021 Nobel Prize in literature in recognition of his "compassionate penetration（洞察力） of the effects of colonialism（殖民主義） and the fate of the refugee（難民）"。
Gurnah grew up in Zanzibar，an island off the coast of Tanzania.In 1964，Gurnah was forced to leave for England as a refugee，where he began to reflect on his experiences in a diary and then through stories.Through the years，he wrote 10 novels and stores that explore the suffering caused by war and colonialism. "The thing that motivated the whole experience of writing for me was this idea of losing your place in the world，" Gurnah told the New York Times.
His 1994 novel Paradise ，which tells the story of a boy growing up in early 20th century Tanzania，marked his breakthrough as a novelist and won the Booker Prize.- Afterlives，his most recent work，continues the narrative of Paradise and takes place during the period of German colonialism in Tanzania.
Before he retired，Gurnah，73，was a professor of English and Postcolonial Literatures at the University of Kent in England.Although Gurnah's first language is Swahili，he adopted English as his literary language.His writing often contains traces of Arabic，Swahili and German，as well.
Anders Olsson，the chair of the Nobel committee，said that Gurnah " is widely recognized as one of the world's more preeminent post-colonial writers".
Ethiopian-American novelist Maaza Mengiste described Gurnah's writings as being"like a gentle blade（刀刃） slowly moving in"""He has written work that is absolutely unfearing and yet at the same time completely compassionate and full of heart for people of East Africa，" Mengiste said."He is writing stories that are often quiet stories of people who aren't heard，but there's an insistence there that we listen."

3．Imagine that one day you live in a highly immersive （virtual） world.You can go to a virtual concert，take a trip online，view or create artworks and try on or buy digital clothing.Amid a pandemic like COVID-19，instead of seeing teachers and classmates on a video call screen，you could join them in a virtual classroom.This may help you understand the concept，metaverse.
The term metaverse refers to a shared virtual 3 D world in which people can access via the Internet.Currently，most virtual spaces look more like the inside of a video game than real life.However，metaverse's made the digital spaces more realistic by the use of virtual reality （VR） or augmented reality （AR）.
Metaverse was first used in Neal Stephenson's novel Snow Crash in 1992.The novel is about Hiro，a pizza delivery man by day and a VR superhero by night who lives in an online universe called The Metaverse. "He is in a computer-generated universe that his computer is drawing onto his glasses and pulling into his earphones，" the novel says of the city that everyone pops into in VR.The idea rings in many other works，for example，in Ready Player One directed by Steven Spielberg.
In recent years，metaverse has become the latest popular word to capture the tech industry's imagination so much that one of the best-known Internet platforms is renamed to embrace the futuristic idea-Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently announced that he changed his company's name to Meta.
Tech companies are also dedicated to exploring metaverse-related products.Facebook has launched meeting software for companies，called Horizon Workrooms，to use with VR headsets.The headsets cost ﹩ 300 or more，putting the metaverse's most cutting-edge experiences out of reach for many.For users who can afford it，they can enter the virtual worlds created by different companies.Fans of metaverse see it as the next stage in the development of the Internet.
So，do you expect the coming of metaverse？
（1）What can be inferred about metaverse in paragraph 1？
A．It is a video game like real life.
B．It is a parallel universe imagined by scientists.
C．It gives us a real life in a virtual world.
D．It can protect yourself from a pandemic.
（2）What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about？
A．The fiction Snow Crash.
B．The origin of metaverse.
C．A VR superhero.
D．The film Ready Player One.
（3）Why did Facebook CEO use Meta as his company's name？
A．Metaverse has become more popular.
B．He lives in a virtual world every day.
C．Facebook is the best-known Internet platform.
D．He has accepted the idea of metaverse.
（4）What can we know from the text about VR headsets？
A．They are very cheap for most of us.
B．Their users can experience a virtual world.

9．Music has always been an essential part of my family.As a little girl，I often watched my mom singing with others in the church.As I grew older，she and I would sing while we did the dishes or hung clothes.My brother Dean was also a musical soul.In good time or in bad，there was always music in our house.It shapes us，comforted us，and gave us a way to express feelings that might otherwise have gone unspoken.
After Dean became a father，we learned that his oldest son was on the autism spectrum（自閉癥）.My nephew Dj did not handle social situation well，and sometimes even for him to speak aloud outside the family was a struggle.He worked very hard to overcome his fears，so much so that the year he was eight，he decided he wanted to be part of the Christmas music program with the other children in his Sunday school class.The part he had been offered was one that required him to sing a verse all on his own - a solo.
My brother carefully explained to him that this would mean singing in front of the audience；there would be no one singing with him.Dj considered this very carefully.After a couple of days，he decided that he would accept the part.He explained to us that he believed he could do it because it was a very special occasion，and lie would practice until he was as perfect as he could be.He said he knew his daddy would help him to be the best singer possible.
For over a month，he and his father practiced together.Every evening would find them locked away in the music room，my brother on guitar，and my nephew's small voice coming from somewhere deep down inside his little body.He gained confidence，and when the day of the concert arrived，he was certain all would go well.My brother waited backstage，giving Dj double thumbs-up，and he came out lo sit with the rest of the family to watch and take photos.
注意：
1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
When it was finally time for Dj to sing，the music played on，and he froze.__________
Everyone turned to see who was singing，while I knew it was my brother.__________組卷：9引用：4難度：0.4
