he
2014 Nobel Prize in Literature went to the French novelist for“the
art
of memory with which he has uncovered the lifeworld of the
occupation”．
Although the 69yearold writer is a very popular literary figure in France, he is little known elsewhere.
So who is this Patrick Modiano，why does his memory have such an influence upon him, and what exactly has he uncovered?
Modiano was born in a suburb of Paris right after World War Ⅱ ended in Europe in July 1945. His father was a JewishItalian businessman who met his Belgian actress mother during the Nazi occupation of Paris.
As The New Yorker magazine put it, Europeans born in 1945 share a condition－they escaped the war, but “not the taint (污点)of the war”．
Modiano's life has been influenced by Nazi Germany's occupation during the war, and his family's connections to it. According to New Yorkbased newspaper Forward, his father survived the war dishonorably.When Paris' Jews were brought together to be sent to concentration camps, the businessman did not join them but spent the time making money from deals with Nazis on the black market.
“The novelist has a duty to record the lives of the people who have disappeared，the people who were made to disappear，” French writer Clemence Boulouque, also an expert in Jewish studies, told The New Yorker magazine.
In his more than three dozen novels, Modiano has returned again and again to the same themes：Jewishness, the Nazi occupation, and the loss of identity. His characters collect pieces of old evidence, handwriting, photographs, police files, and newspaper cuttings.
His most admired novel, Missing Person, is a good example. It's the story about a detective who has lost his memory. He tries to find out who he really is by following his own steps through history.
Although Modiano's win is a surprise outside France，people are celebrating in his home country.Modiano is the 15th French literature winner. After Le Clezio's 2008 win, it seemed unlikely that there would be another so soon.
【语篇解读】 本文为记叙文。介绍了2014年诺贝尔文学奖获得者法国作家帕特里克·莫迪亚诺及其文学成就。
1．The passage is mainly about________．
A．a literary figure's personal affairs
B．a famous novelist's family background
C．a Nobel Prize winner and his literary achievement
D．European people's sufferings during World War Ⅱ
【解析】 主旨大意题。文章第一至三段提出主题；第四至九段介绍了帕特里克·莫迪亚诺的作品的特点；最后一段是对帕特里克·莫迪亚诺的评价。由此可见本题答案为C项。

B
The Japanese have long puzzled public health researchers because they are such an obvious paradox(矛盾)：They have the world's lowest rates of heart disease and the largest number of people that live to or beyond 100 years despite the fact that most Japanese men smoke－and smoking counts as one of the strongest risk factors for heart disease. So what's protecting Japanese men?
Two professors at the University of California at Berkeley hoped to find out the answer. They investigated a group of 12，000 Japanese men equally divided into three groups: One group had lived in Japan for all their lives, and the other two groups had immigrated to Hawaii or Northern California. It was found that the rate of heart disease among Japanese men increased five times in California and about half of that for those in Hawaii.
The differences could not be explained by any of the usual risk factors for heart disease, such as smoking, or high blood pressure. The change in diet，from sushi to hamburgers and fries, was also not related to the rise in heart disease. However, the kind of society they had created for themselves in their new home country was. The most traditional group of Japanese Americans, who maintained closely and mutually supportive social groups, had a heartattack rate as low as their fellow Japanese back home. But those who had adopted the more isolated (孤立的) western lifestyle increased their heartattack incidence by three to five times.
The study shows that the need to bond with a social group is so fundamental to humans that it remains the key determinant of whether we stay healthy or get ill, even whether we live or die. We need to feel part of something bigger to thrive (茁壮成长). We need to belong, not online, but in the real world of hugs, handshakes, and pats on the back.
5．What is the best title of this passage?
A．Heart Disease and Its Causes
B．The Power of Social Connection
C．Differences in Japanese Americans
D．The Sense of Belonging vs Isolation
【解析】 从结构上看，短文先分后总，主题段落在最后两段。根据其中的关键词“maintained closely and mutually supportive social groups”可知B为最佳答案。

B．Those who often ate hamburgers and fries were more likely to fall sick.
C．Japanese immigrants to America usually formed a close community.
D．Westernized social life was related to the heartattack rate of Japanese Americans.
【解析】 根据“第三段．..the more isolated(孤立的) western lifestyle increased their heartattack incidence by three to five times.”可知答案。
【答案】 D
7．Which of the following is an example of “something bigger” in the last paragraph?
A．A family. B．A stadium.

【答案】 A
8．What is the rate of heart disease between Japanese living in Japan and Japanese Americans in Hawaii?
