Doris Lessing was born in 1919 in Persia, moving as a child with her family to southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, where she stayed in school only to the age of 14.
A year after moving to London, she published her first novel in 1950. The Grass Is Singing examines unbridgeable racial conflict in colonial Africa through the eyes of a white farmer’ s wife and her black servant.
Her literary breakthrough came in 1962 with publication of The Golden Notebook, seen by many, though not necessarily Lessing, as a pioneering work of modern feminism(女权运动). A separated study of the mind of the main character, Anna Wulf, the novel explores her thoughts about Africa, politics and relationships with men and sex.
Lessing’s themes changed to psychology in her works from the 1960s, and by the 1970s she was extremely interested in the Islamic mystic tradition of Sufism(苏菲教派). Her turn toward science fiction with the Canopus series in the early 1980s was not warmly received by traditionalist critics, but she has continued to win new readers and numerous literary awards, including the David Cohen British Literary Prize and the Companion of Honour from the Royal Society of Literature, both in 2001.
Following the announcement, the Horace Engdahl told VOA why he was personally so pleased with Lessing’ s selection.
"She is one of the truly great writers—of novels, short stories, fiction and non-fiction," Engdahl said. "She is one of the few writers who have had the courage to uphold the principle of equality between the male and female experience, and she has given the impulse(冲动)to numbers of other women writers. And she is really the mother of a school that is one of the most important in our contemporary literature."
At 87, Doris Lessing is the oldest Nobel Literature winner since the first prizes were awarded in 1901.
According to the fourth paragraph,_____.
选项
A、Lessing began to believe in Christ in the 1970s
B、Lessing’ s science fiction won readers

D、Lessing changed her themes to meet the needs of traditional critics
答案
B
解析
细节题。短文第四段指出she has continued to win new readers andnumerous literary awards即她的科学小说赢得了很多读者,也获得了多项文学奖。故答案B正确。
