So the works of more and more novelists can reach people in other parts of the world.This applies not only to new novels but also to fresh translations of old classics.8.What can we know about the translator in Paragraph1?A.His opinion was shared by the magazine.B.The novelist’s works were his favourite.C.He often sent articles to the magazine.D.The novelist got famous with his help.9.How did the translator feel when he looked closely at the article in the magazine?A.Regretful.B.Proud.C.Upset.D.Skeptical.10.What is the third paragraph mainly about?A.The contributions of novel translators.B.The general attitude towards translators.C.The readers’different tastes in literature.D.The importance of reading original works.11.What does the author stress when talking about the global age?A.The shortage of able novel translators.B.The number of readers of original works.C.The value of novels in different countries.D.The variety of fiction available to readers.DOn23June2016,UK(United Kingdom)adults made a historic decision.More than33million people voted for the UK to leave the European Union(EU).In the referendum,the result was that around52%of them—just over half—voted to leave the group of28countries.This is called Brexit made up to describe the“British Exit”.No country had ever left the EU before,so Brexit was a significant moment in European history.After UK and EU leaders had lots of hard negotiations about how Brexit would work,on22nd,January,2020, Wednesday,the British Parliament finally approved an agreement about the UK’s divorcing the EU,which Queen Elizabeth II agreed to on Thursday.The deal was expected to pass in the European Parliament the next week.If everything went well,the UK would leave the EU on January31,2020.It did!The UK finally and officially left the EU at11pm on this day,ending a process that began three and a half years before.Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Brexit fans celebrated with fireworks and big parties.For many they called it the UK’s Independence Day.For many others in the UK,it represented the final stage of something they fought hard to prevent.Now the deal has been signed and Britain has left,but it doesn’t mean the life in Britain will change suddenly.Until31st December 2020,freedom of movement will continue and this means UK citizens will have the right to live and work in the EU.Making things even more difficult is the fact that the next challenge of Brexit has arrived.The UK and EU now have almost one year to work out the details of the relationship they will have in the future.Many experts express their common concern that making these new agreements will go through the same experience as the original Brexit deal.12.What does the underlined word“referendum”in Paragraph1mean?A.Explanation.B.Vote.C.Deal.D.Statement.13.What day was it when the UK left the EU officially?A.Tuesday.B.Wednesday.C.Thursday.D.Friday.14.What can we say about Brexit?A.It was an extremely difficult process.B.It is a great victory for all UK people.C.It means a temporary loss for the EU.D.It brings UK people a new life overnight.15.What is the experts’attitude towards Brexit’s next work?A.Ambiguous.B.Confident.C.Worried.D.Cautious.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
