“And this year’s Nobel Prize in Literature goes to ... someone who’s not Haruki Murakami (村上春树) again.”

This was how the BBC started one of its reports about the 2017 Nobel Prizes, even though it was Japanese-British writer Kazuo Ishiguro who won the prize. “To be honest, it’s a bit annoying,” Murakami, 69, said in an interview with The Japan Times when asked how he felt when the public kept making a fuss about his potential (可能的) Nobel win. “This is not a horse race,” he added. And yet, to the public, a horse race is perhaps all it is.

So, the limelight is now once again on Murakami, after he made it onto the final list for the New Academy Prize in Literature 2018. “By combining pop culture with magic realism, he has attracted much attention with his novels and short story collections, and has attracted readers worldwide,” said the New Academy about Murakami.

Indeed, Murakami has a huge fan base in his home country of Japan, especially among young people. These young fans call themselves “Harukists”, as they identify with the “absurdity (荒谬) and loneliness of modern life” described in his novels, according to Business Insider. And in 2005, Murakami started reaching an international readership when his novel Kafka on the Shore appeared on the New York Times’ Top 10 list for book of the year, which was also believed to be the time when the world’s interest in Murakami’s Nobel win first began to surface.

But Murakami himself couldn’t care less about whether he wins the prize or not. “If you’re a writer and you have readers, you have everything. You don’t need critics or reviews.” he told The New Yorker.

However, if winning the prize is all that it takes to end this “horse race” and put Murakami out of his misery (煎熬), let’s just hope that when the winner is announced on Oct 12, the BBC’s story will open with, “This year’s New Academy Prize in Literature goes to ... Haruki Murakami.”

1.According to paragraph 2, what made Haruki Murakami annoyed?

A. Losing the horse race.

B. Not winning the Nobel Prize.

C. Being interviewed by the media.

D. Over focus on his potential Nobel win.

2.We learn from the passage that Haruki Murakami _____.

A. is especially popular among the elders

B. is more famous abroad than at home

C. became internationally acceptable in 2005

D. combines pop culture with serious literature

3.What can we learn from Murakami’s words in paragraph 5?

A. He puts his readers in the first place.

B. He cares much about people’s reviews.

C. He considers winning the Nobel Prize a top honor.

D. He is very disappointed about not winning the Nobel Prize.

4.What is the writer’s attitude towards Murakami winning the Nobel Prize?

A. Favorable. B. Uncaring.

C. Changing. D. Doubtful.

Tu Youyou, 84, honored with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine on Oct 5, 2015. She was the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize in science for her work in helping to create an anti-malaria(疟疾) medicine.

In 1967, Communist leader Mao Zedong decided there was an urgent national need to find a cure for malaria. At the time, malaria spread by mosquitoes was killing Chinese soldiers fighting Americans in the jungles of northern Vietnam. A secret research unit was formed to find a cure for the illness. Two years later, Tu Youyou was instructed to become the new head of Mission 523. Researchers in Mission523 pored over ancient books to find historical methods of fighting malaria. When she started her search for an anti-malarial drug, over 240,000 compounds(化合物) around the world had already been tested, without any success.

Finally, the team found a brief reference to one substance, sweet wormwood（青蒿）, which had been used to treat malaria in China around 400 AD. The team isolated one active compound in wormwood, artemisinin（青蒿素）, which appeared to battle malaria-friendly parasites（寄生虫）. The team then tested extracts（提取物） of the compound but nothing was effective until Tu Youyou returned to the original ancient text. After another careful reading, she improved the drug recipe one final time, heating the extract without allowing it to reach boiling point.

After the drug showed promising results in mice and monkeys, Tu volunteered to be the first human recipient of the new drug. “As the head of the research group, I had the responsibility.” she explained.

1.When did Ms. Tu start her malaria research?

A. When she was 84 years old

B. After she entered “Mission 523”.

C. In 1967

D. When malaria become serious among ordinary Chinese people.

2.What can we learn about the discovery of anti-malaria drug?

A. The process of testing extracts of the compound is very smooth.

B. No one had ever done any research on it before Tu and her team.

C. The idea of using wormwood to treat malaria was from ancient Chinese text

D. Heating the extract until it reaches boiling point is necessary.

3. The underlined phrases “pore over” in paragraph 3 most probably means ________.

A. think about　　　 　　 B. pay attention to

C. search for　　　　　　 D. go over

4.Which of the following words can best describe Tu Youyou?

A. Responsible　　　　　 B. Traditional

C. Stubborn　　　　　　 D. Lucky
