Cao, a professor of Chinese literature at Peking University, received the honor at the Bologna Children’s Book Fair in Italy.

In an interview with the Zhengzhou Evening News, he said, “It’s time for us to alter our understanding of reading. Books shouldn’t bring only joy to young readers, but also sensations, either through comedy or tragedy.” Other writers, including Jin Bo, have also blamed poor translation as the reason why Chinese literature fails to get international acknowledgment. Jin was nominated for the Hans Christian Andersen Prize in 1992, but at that time, he had to translate, in a rush, several paragraphs from his book to give to the jury. “On one hand, the jury has little knowledge of Chinese authors.

Passage Two Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage. Jane Eyre is a novel by English writer Charlotte Brontë. It was published in London, England, in 1847 with the title Jane Eyre. An Autobiography under the pen name "Currer Bell". The Penguin edition describes it as an "influential feminist text" because of its in-depth exploration of a strong female character's feelings. The novel merges elements of three distinct genres. It has the form of a bildungsroman, a story about a child's maturation, focusing on the emotions and experiences that accompany growth to adulthood. The novel also contains much social criticism, with a strong sense of morality at its core, and finally has the brooding and moody quality and Byronic character typical of Gothic fiction. It is a novel often considered ahead of its time due to its portrayal of the development of a thinking and passionate young woman who is both individualistic, desiring for a full life, while also highly moral. Jane evolves from her beginnings as a poor and plain woman without captivating charm to her mature stage as a compassionate and confident whole woman. As she matures, she comments much on the complexities of the human condition. Jane also has a deeply pious personal trust in God, but is also highly self-reliant. Although Jane suffers much, she is never portrayed as a damsel in distress who needs rescuing. For this reason, it is sometimes regarded as an important early feminist (or proto-feminist) novel. 注意:此部分试题请在答题卡 2 上作答。 61、Why penguin edition says “Jane Eyre” is a influential feminism text?
