The novels written by Mo Yan sell best now, but years ago no one could have imagined he _____ the Nobel Prize for Literature.
| A．was winning | B．was to win |
| C．had won | D．won |
B
解析試題分析：句意:現在莫言寫的小說很暢銷，但是幾年前沒人能夠想象出他能獲得諾貝爾獎。這里指過去的時候人們對未來的想象，所以用過去將來時，只有was to do可以表示過去將要做的事情，故選B。
考點：考查動詞時態的用法。
點評：本題難度適中。語境中的時態和語態具有靈活多變的特點，因此找出隱含于上下文中的時間信息，正確認定動作行為所發生的時間是解題的關鍵。
即學即練：---Has Li Lei finished his work today?
--- I have no idea, but he ______ it when I saw him this morning.
A. had done B. would do C. was doing D. did
解析：C。句意：--今天李雷完成他的工作了嗎？----我不知道，但我今早看到他時他在工作。根據句意及時間狀語when I saw him this morning可知用過去進行時。

Tom Becker has won the 2007 Waterstone's children's book prize with his first novel, Darkside, receiving a cheque for ??1,000 and the promise of display in branches of the book store across the country.
The 25-year-old author described winning as an "unbelievable feeling". "I didn't think my book would be on the shortlist and stood a chance of winning, and it's amazing to receive such an important award at the beginning of my writing career. Needless to say I am absolutely made up." he said.
The novel, inspired by film noir（黑色電影）, fantasy（幻想）and a fascination（迷戀）with the dark side of the 19th century, is for children between the ages of nine and 12. It tells the story of a boy, Jonathan Stirling, who discovers a similar world filled with vampires（吸血鬼）and werewolves（狼人）.

Soon hunters from the other side begin searching for Jonathan, who finds himself driven into their world.

Herta Müller, the Romanian-born German writer, has won the 2009 Nobel Prize for Literature. Ms. Müller, 56, immigrated to Germany from Romania in 1987. She is the first German writer to win the Nobel in literature since Günter Grass in 1999 and the 13th winner writing in German since the prize was first given in 1901. She is the 12th woman to gain the literature prize. But unlike previous winners like Doris Lessing and V. S. Naipaul, Ms. Müller is unknown inside of literary circles in Germany.
“I am very surprised and still cannot believe it,” Ms. Muller said in a statement released by her publisher in Germany. “I can’t say anything more at the moment.”
She has written some 20 books, but just 5 have been translated into English, including the novels “The Land of Green Plums” and “The Appointment.”
At a news conference on Thursday at the German Publishers & Booksellers Association in Berlin, where she lives, Ms. Müller, wearing all black, appeared overwhelmed(不知所措) by all the cameras in her face.
When asked what it meant that her name would now be mentioned in the same breath as German greats like Thomas Mann and Heinrich Böll, Ms. Müller remained philosophical(達觀的). “I am now nothing better and I’m nothing worse,” she said, adding: “My inner thing is writing. That’s what I can hold on to.”
Earlier in the day, at a news conference in Stockholm, Peter Englund, secretary of the Swedish Academy, said Ms. Müller was honored for her “very, very distinct special language” and because “she has really a story to tell about…and growing up as a stranger in your own family.
