When Frida Kahlo’s paintings were on show in London,a poet described her paintings as “ a ribbon (絲帶)around a bomb”.Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time.Sadly,she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time.

Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City,Kahlo suffered from polio(小兒麻痹癥)at the age of seven.Her spine(脊柱) became bent as she grew older.Then,in 1925,her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident.Throughout the rest of her life,the artist had many operations,but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back.However,the accident had an unexpected side effect.While lying in her bed recovering,Kahlo taught herself to paint.

In 1929,she got married to Diego Rivera,another famous Mexican artist.Rivera’s strong influence on Kahlo’s style can be seen in her early works,but her later works from the 1940s,known today as her best works,show less influence from her husband.

Unfortunately,her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s,even in her home country.Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954,Kahlo’s works remained largely unnoticed by the world,but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.

1.What does the phrase “a much bigger name” in Paragraph 1 most nearly mean?

A.A far better artist.

B.A far more gifted artist.

C.A much stronger person.

D.A much more famous person.

2.The terrible pain Kahlo suffered was caused by .

A.polio B.her bent spine

C.back injuries D.the operations she had

3.Kahlo’s style had become increasingly independent since the .

A.1930s B.1940s

C.1950s D.1970s

4.What is the author’s attitude towards Kahlo?

A.Indifferent. B.Sympathetic.

C.Worried. D.Critical.

Every country has its heroes.The heroes are the people the nation and especially the young people admire.If you get a list of the heroes of a nation,it will tell you the potential(潛力) of that nation.

Today in America,if you ask the high school students to list their heroes,their choices would probably fall into three groups.The first group of heroes would be the rock stars—the people connected with rock music.There is no doubt that such people do have talent(才能).But one wonders if one should treat rock stars as a model.The rock stars too often are mixed with drugs and their personal life is not all that good.The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles.However,one should seek more in a hero than such things as money and good clothes.

A second type of hero for the American youth is the sports star.Again you have a person who has a great ability in one area—sports.However,too often the personal life of the sports star is a bit of disorder.Too frequently drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports star.

A third type of hero is the TV or movie star.This person may have lots of acting talent and is quite handsome.However,the personal life of too many actors is quite sad and they should not be held up as a model of young people.Today,the rock star,the athlete and the actor all have become the models of the youth in America.Really,do you hear a young person say that his hero is a doctor,a teacher or a scientist?These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes.However,they are talented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone.

What is really sad is that the young try to imitate(模仿) their heroes.They like to wear the same clothes and follow their styles.If the heroes of today for the American young people are limited only to rock stars,athletes and actors,the future does not look too bright.

1.The last sentence of the first paragraph implies that .

A.if a nation has a lot of heroes,it will be strong

B.heroes of a nation will make the nation itself

C.what the people admire will make the future of the nation

D.if you want to be a hero,you must admire the hero

2.According to the writer,people should admire those .

A.who are rich and wear the latest fashion clothes

B.who can express people’s feelings

C.whose personal life is good

D.who work for the interests of the people

3.What is the writer’s attitude towards American youth’s admiration?

A.He understands it.

B.He criticizes it.

C.He is angry about it.

D.He is uninterested in it.

I was a high school student then, from low-income family. So I have to work to support my family. My first one job was to clean tables in a small restaurant.I still remember going there early and felt anxious of the new world. I worked harder because I was afraid of losing the job. At night, I was sometimes very tired to do my homework. And I came to understand this was not easy to earn money, and that knowledge could change my lives. So I think what I learned from the job was much more important as what I earned.

Probably you have seen photographs of the Grand Canyon,the great valley in the desert country of Arizona.But you must go there yourself to feel its true size and beauty.The Grand Canyon is one of the greatest natural wonders of the world.

The Colorado River formed the Grand Canyon over millions of years.Slowly,the river cut down through hard rocks.At the same time,the land was rising.Today,the canyon is one and a half kilometers deep and 446 kilometers long.The oldest rocks at the bottom of the canyon are more than one billion years old.The width varies from about 200 meters to 29 kilometers across.The rim or top of the canyon is about 2,300 meters above sea level on the South Rim,and about 3,000 meters on the other side,the North Rim.As a result,there are different kinds of plants and animals on opposite sides of the canyon.The South Rim is a dry desert country.The North Rim has tall forests.

The canyon looks different at different times of a day,and in different seasons and weather.At sunrise and sunset the black,gold,brown,and orange colours of the rocks are especially clear and bright.In winter,the canyon is partly covered with snow.

The view from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is the best.Most visitors come to the South Rim and stay in campgrounds or hotels.Every point along the canyon’s edge offers a different view.

The North Rim of the Canyon is quieter.It takes all day to drive there from the South Rim because there is only one bridge across the Colorado River.On the way,you go through Navajo Indian lands,and a colourful pink desert called “The Painted Desert”.

You can walk down into the Grand Canyon,or you can go down on the back of a mule.You can also take a boat trip down the Colorado River,and camp on the beaches at night.But whether you see the Grand Canyon from the top or the bottom,it will be an experience that you will never forget.

1.The best way to feel the size and beauty of the Grand Canyon is .

A.to see its photographs

B.to listen to the report about it

D.to watch the TV program about it

閱讀理解。

In ancient Egypt,a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment.Modern businesses have been following his lead,with more tactics(策略).

One tactic involves where to display the goods.For example,stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section.They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food(垃圾食品) later in their trip.In department stores,the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妝品) section:while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe,bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.

Besides,businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses.Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping,so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day.Music sells goods,too.Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played,sales of French wines went up.

When it comes to the selling of houses,businesses also use highly rewarding tactics.They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door,and turn it into a business opportunity.A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly.When entering the house,the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level.The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.

1.Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?

A.To save customers time.

B.To show they are high quality foods.

C.To help sell junk food.

D.To sell them at discount prices.

2.According to Paragraph 3,which of the following encourages customers to buy?

A.Opening the store early in the morning.

B.Displaying British wines next to French ones.

C.Inviting customers to play music.

D.Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.

3.What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?

A.The house structure is a key factor customers consider.

B.The more costly the house is,the better it sells.

C.An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste.

D.A good first impression increases sales.

4.What is the main purpose of the passage?

A.To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.

B.To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.

C.To report researches on customer behavior.

D.To show dishonest business practices.
