Chinese writer Mo Yan’s Nobel Prize for Literature might ignite an explosion of global interest in Chinese literature and lead to more titles translated into English, European experts say.

“Hopefully, the award means more peop le will read Chinese literature and more works will get translated,” says Michel Hocks, professor of the Languages and Cultures of China and Inner Asia from University of London. “Many very good Chinese writers have been accepted globally for a long time already. Mo Yan is probably the most translated Chinese writer alive, with at least five of his novels made available in English over the past 20 years.”

As East-West cultural exchange has been booming, Chinese literature has been attracting growing attent ion in recent years. Hocks explains, “It’s mainly because there are many more opportunities for Chinese writers to visit other countries, to publish their works outside China and to interact with readers abroad. At the same time, more and more people globally are learning Chinese and taking an interest in the Chinese language and culture.”

University of Oxford lecturer in modern Chinese literature Margaret Hillenbrand says, “The obvious reason for the growing global presence of Chinese literature

is the growing global presence of China itself. People have come to realize that there is a serious knowledge deficit between China and its international counterparts — in particular, China knows incomparably more about Europe and America than the other way round —and reading Chinese literature is an effective, simple means of solving that gap.”

56. The unde rlined word “ignite” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”.

A. start out

B. set off

C. burn up

D. appeal to

57. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. In the past, no Chinese writers were accepted outside China.

B. Chinese literature has spread with the development of China.

C. The Nobel Prize for Literature has a history of hundreds of years.

D. Foreigners know a bout China mainly by reading Mo Yan’s works.

58. Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention mainly because __________.

A. the Chinese government attaches great importance to literature

B. Chinese writers have been writing more and more books in English

C. the Chinese language has become the most widely used language in the world

D. the cultural communication between China and western countries has developed

59. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?

A. China knows more about Europe and America than before.

B. Compared with America, China knows more about Europe.

C. China, Europe and America know one another more than before.

D. China knows more about Europe and America than they know about China.

B

Why Doesn’t Anybody Copy Apple?

Apple’s products are the envy of the world. They have been spectacularly successful and are widely imitated, if not copied. The minute Apple crystallizes a product, everyone knows how to compete. This idea that the basis of competition is set by Apple and then the race is on to climb the path of improvement is unquestionable. When Apple releases a product that defines a category or dramatically changes the structure of an industry, it becomes obvious what needs to be built. But what I wonder is why everyone wants to copy Apple’s products but nobody wants to copy being Apple?

I can think of two reasons. Firstly, Apple is not worth copying because it’s not successful; secondly, Apple’s success cann ot be copied because it is a magical process.

There is a great deal of evidence for the first hypothesis. The idea of Apple being successful is not something reflected in its stock price. Being valued lower than the average company in the S&P（标准普尔）500 indicates that to whatever degree Apple was successful in the past, it’s not seen by the vast majority of observers as successful in the future. Why should one bother copying Apple if it results in being punished with a low valuation? If one works really hard at innovation and then

that innovation becomes commoditized（商品化）very quickly, why should one

bother?

What about Apple’s own opinion of what makes it tick? Tim Cook refers to a great team and integration of hardware, software and services as unique Apple advantages. It’s a better explanation. Integration is something that can take a long time, but it is possible with great effort. A few companies are starting to make moves in that direction, but efforts are half-hearted. There is no “move the Earth” panic to become an integrated company from Samsung, Google or Microsoft.

My own suspicion is that Apple is more aware of what makes it special than it lets out. However, as Tim points out, it’s not a formula. I t’s complex, it’s subtle, but it’s not magic. It’s a process that requires a degree of faith and courage.

60. When a new product of Apple comes out, often it ______.

A. starts a revolution of an industry

B. ruins an industry dramatically

C. puts itself in an unbeatable position

D. is soon overtaken by imitated products

61. According to the passage, other companies don’t “copy being Apple” because

______.

A. Apple is not a successful company

B. they have no access to relevant resources

C. it’s hard t o find a magician like Steve Jobs

D. being Apple takes more than time and efforts

62. We can infer from Para.5 that ______.

A. other companies are dedicated to integration

B. Apple itself is fully aware of its unique advantages

C. Apple will hold the leading position in this industry

D. other companies don’t have a great team as Apple does

63. What does the author think of Tim Cook’s statement?

A. Doubtful.

B. Acceptable.

C. Unbelievable.

D.

Disappointing.

C
