He seemed___（53）by the news that he won the US$1 3 million prize "It came as a complete surprise. 1 wasn’t even aware they were due to make the announcement, he said. His___（54）of privacy led to doubts as to whether Coetzee will attend Pnize-giving in Stockholm, Sweden, on December 10.
But despite being described as____（55）to track down, the critics agree that his Writing is easy to get to know.
Born in Cape Town, South Africa, to all English-speaking family, Coetzee___（56）his breakthrough in 1980 with the novel"Waiting for the Barbarians（野蛮人）"He____（57） his place among the world’s leading writers with two Booker prize victories, Britain’s highest onour for novels He first_____（58）in l983forthe"Life and Times of Michael k"and his second title came in 1999 for"Disgrace" A major theme in his work is South Africa’s former apartheid（种族隔离）system, which divided whites from blacks____（59）with the problems of violence, crime and racial division that still exist in the country his books have enabled ordinary people to understand apartheid____（60）within.
’I have always been more interested in the past than the future, "he said in a rare interview.’The past___（61）its shadow over the present. I hope I have made one or two people think ——（62）about whether they want to forget the past completely. "
In fact this purity in his writing seems to be__（63）in his personal life. Coetzee is a vegetarian, a cyclist rather than a motorist and doesn’t drink alcohol.

答案:
51 B 该段中有这样一个短语"particularly difficult to catch"（很难找到他），"well known for keeping himself to himself"是"以与世隔绝为大家熟知".可以看出，根据下文，用"well known"最为合适。
52 A hold：抱住；拿住。run into和bump into都有"撞上"的意思，这是不由一个人的主观意志所能控制的。
53 D 对第一段做解释时，提到了上下文可以帮助我们做出正确的判断。紧随其后的是"It came as a complete surprise．"（这个奖来得很突然）。"shock"和"surprise"意思很接近，因此选择"shocked"是对的。
54 c like作"喜欢"解时是动词，而此处需要的是一个名词。devotion后面跟"to"，attraction是"吸引"的意思。填入后意思不太合适。因此只有"love"是正确的选项。
55 A despite引导的是一个反
