He took his place among the worlds leading writers with two Booker prize victories, Britains

27、 highest honor for novels. He first won in 1983 for the Life and Times of Michael K, and his second title came in 1999 for Disgrace.A major theme in his work is South Africas former apartheid (种族隔离) system, which divided whites from blacks. Dealing with the problems of violence, crime and racial div

28、ision that still exist in the country, his books have enabled ordinary people to understand apartheid from within.“I have always been more interested in the past than the future.“ he said in a rare interview. “The past casts its shadow over the present. I hope I have made one or two people think twi

29、ce about whether they want to forget the past completely.“In fact this purity in his writing seems to be mirrored in his personal life. Coetzee is avegetarian, a cyclist rather than a motorist and doesnt drink alcohol.But what he has contributed to literature, culture and the people of South Africa

30、is far greater than the things he has given up. “In looking at weakness and failure in life,“ the Nobel Prize judging panel said, “Coetzees work expresses the divine spark in man.“（分数：10.00）(1).When the news came that he won the 2003 Nobel Prize for literature, Coetzee was_.（分数：2.00）A.excitedB.surpr

34、riter. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that theres a big difference between “being a writer“ and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “Youve got to want to write,“ I say to them, “not want to be a write

35、r.“The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the US Coast Guard to become a freelance writer (自由撰稿人), I had no prospects at all. What I did have

36、 was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didnt even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadnt gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so

37、hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasnt going to be one of those people who die wondering, “What if?“ I would keep putting my dream to the testeven though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This i

43、waste has been a problem since humans started producing it. As more and more people choose to live close together in cities, the waste-disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult.During the eighteenth century, it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as

44、 a dumpsite. Residents or trash haulers (垃圾托运者) would transport household rubbish, rotted wood, and old possessions to the site. Periodically (定期的) some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried. The unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by.Factories, mills,

45、 and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of. Those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water. Others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem.Several facts make these choices unacceptable to modem society. The first problem is space. Du

Property is either too expensive or too close to residential (住宅区的)neighborhoods Long-distance trash hauling has been a common practice, but once farm areas a

47、re refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere, cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent.Awareness of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. Pollution of rivers, ground water, land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get r

48、id of waste. The amount of waste, however, continues to grow.Recycling efforts have become commonplace in recent years, and many towns require their people to take part. Even the most efficient recycling programs, however, can hope to deal with only about 50 percent of a citys reusable waste.（分数：10.00）(1).The most suitable title for this passage would be_.（分数：2.00）A.Places for Disposing WasteB.Waste Pollution DangersC.Ways of Getting Rid of WasteD.Waste Disposal Problem(2).During the 18th century, people disposed their waste in many Ways EXCEPT for_.（分数：2.00）A.burying itB.re
