23．（8分）Samanta Schweblin, one of the best young Spanish language novelists nominated (提名) by British literary magazine Granta, has visited Beijing to promote the first Chinese edition of a collection of her short stories. The collection, Birds in the Mouth, has been translated and published by Shanghai-based publisher Reader.
“Sometimes I hold the Chinese edition and choose a story at random and try to guess which one it is. But it is almost impossible for me; even the length is different.” says Schweblin. “When a book is translated into a Western language, I can at least understand some parts of my stories, and therefore suffer some doubt about the quality of the translation. But my Chinese edition is more like an act of faith.”
Born in Argentina in 1978, Schweblin says she is influenced by the literary traditions of the La Plata area, home to many famous Latin-American novelists.
Interested in writing stories of ordinary lives where suddenly something extraordinary happens, something new, strange or unknown, she thinks, “The stranger and the unknown are not always related to ghosts or aliens, but can be something related to the known world, something that actually could happen.”
Birds in the Mouth tells of a divorced father who worries about his 13-year-old daughter and her mysterious appetites. It turns out that his daughter eats live birds.
The idea for this story came to Schweblin when she was browsing the Internet, “Click, click, click, a picture of a little girl who looks frightened with her hands covering her mouth came to my eyes. Little by little, I developed the story in my mind, and then wrote it down” recalls Schweblin.
Although there are elements of violence and bloodiness in Schweblin’s stories, she skillfully hides them, thinking the trick to writing a thrilling story is to stop the monster from appearing, while maintaining a frightening and mysterious atmosphere.
1、Samanta Schweblin came to China to ________.
A．pay a visit to Beijing
B．translate her stories into Chinese

A．she suffers some doubt about the quality of the translation
B．her Chinese edition is slightly different from the original one

A．has an appetite for writing something extraordinary
B．got the idea of her story Birds in the Mouth by design
C．tried to quit describing violent and bloody scenes in her story
D．thinks her writing style is mainly affected by some famous native novelists
4、We can probably read the passage in ________.
A．a textbook
B．a newspaper
C．a report
D．a science fiction
24．（8分）As a boy, Charles Robert Darwin(达尔文）collected anything that caught his interest: insects, coins and interesting stones. He was not very clever, but Darwin was good at doing the things that interested him.

25．（10分） Everyone knows about straight-A students. We see them frequently in TV situation comedies and in movies like Revenge of the Nerds. They get high grades, all right, but only by becoming dull laborers, their noses always stuck in a book. They are not good at social communication and look clumsy while doing sports.
How, then, do we account for Domenica Roman or Paul Melendres?
Roman is on the tennis team at Fairmont Senior High School. She also sings in the choral group, serves on the student council and is a member of the mathematics society. For two years she has maintained A's in every subject. Melendres，a freshman at the University of New Mexico，was student body president at Valley High School in Albuquerque. He played soccer and basketball well，exhibited at the science fair，and meanwhile worked as a reporter on a local television station. Being a speech giver at the graduation ceremony，he achieved straight A's in. his regular classes，plus bonus points for A's in two college-level courses.
How do super-achievers like Roman and Melendres do it？Brains aren't the only answer. "Top grades don't always go to t
