9.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 nametoday 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 influences 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 and1940s,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.
 
51.What does the phrase"a much bigger name"in paragraph 1 most nearly mean?A
A.a(chǎn) much more famous person         B.a(chǎn) far more gifted artist
C.a(chǎn) much stronger person            D.a(chǎn) far better artist
52.The terrible pain Kahlo suffered was caused byB.
A.polio                             B.back injuries
C.her bent spin                     D.the operations she had
53.Kahlo's style had become increasingly independent since theA.
A.1940s         B.1930s        C.1950s        D.1970s
54.What is author's attitude toward Kahlo?C
A.Devotion                      B.Worry       
C.Sympathy                      D.Encouragement.

分析 本文是一篇人物傳記,介紹了墨西哥著名藝術(shù)家弗里達(dá)•卡洛的人生以及她的遭遇.
卡洛對(duì)她那個(gè)時(shí)期的藝術(shù)世界有著很大的影響.不幸的是,實(shí)際上在世時(shí)遠(yuǎn)不如今天有名.
卡洛出生墨西哥.7歲時(shí),患上小兒麻痹癥.她的脊柱隨著年齡的增長(zhǎng)變得彎曲.1925年,背部多處骨折.在卡洛的余生中,經(jīng)歷過(guò)許多手術(shù),但是無(wú)論什么都治愈不了她背部的錐心之痛.然而,那場(chǎng)車(chē)禍也帶來(lái)了一個(gè)意外的收獲:當(dāng)她躺在床上康復(fù)期間,卡洛自學(xué)了繪畫(huà).
在卡洛早期的作品中里維拉對(duì)卡洛畫(huà)風(fēng)的強(qiáng)烈影響,但是在她那些20世紀(jì)40年代以后的作品中,她丈夫的影響很少.1953年舉辦了在墨西哥首個(gè)女畫(huà)家個(gè)人畫(huà)展.1954年去世后的十多年里,卡洛的畫(huà)作仍不廣為人知,但是從20世紀(jì)70年代開(kāi)始,她的作品最終聲名鵲起.

解答 ABAC

51.A  推斷題.根據(jù)第一段第二句中的"Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time"可推斷"a much bigger name"應(yīng)與"had a big influence on…"的意思相近,即 Frida Kahlo 在今天更加有名;從最后一段第三、四句 For more than a decade after her death in…began to gain international fame at last 也可以看出她的作品在她死后變得更加有名.故正確答案為A.
52.B 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)第二段第三、四句"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."可知,Kahlo 的劇痛是由于車(chē)禍中背部受傷造成的.故正確答案為B.
53.A 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)第三段最后一句中"…but her later works from the 1940s,known today as her best works,show less influence from her husband."可知,Kahlo 的作品在二十世紀(jì)四十年代后開(kāi)始較少地受到她丈夫的影響,變得更加獨(dú)立.故正確答案為A.
54.C 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)最后一段第一句"Unfortunately,her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and1940s,even in her home country."以及后文內(nèi)容可知,作者對(duì) Kahlo 在世時(shí)沒(méi)有能夠得到認(rèn)可感到深深的遺憾和同情.故正確答案為C.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀理解題測(cè)試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力,要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系,對(duì)未說(shuō)明的趨勢(shì)或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷;或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點(diǎn)理論,對(duì)文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋?zhuān)忌紫纫屑?xì)閱讀短文,完整了解信息,準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點(diǎn).

19.Hearing aids today are so small that sometimes you cannot even see them.They can even be part of the frames of a person's glasses.These hearing aids work very much like transistor radios,powered by very tiny batteries.The hearing aid is a wonderful invention that can help a deaf person to hear again.Soon it will be as common for people to wear hearing aids to help them to hear as it is for people to wear glasses to help them to see.
At one time,there was a shame attached to wearing a hearing aid.But this was once true of glasses,too. Today three out of every ten school children wear glasses,and many more people wear glasses as they grow older.The hearing aids is becoming equally well-accepted,for modern hearing aids are wonderfully efficient,available in many styles,and can be fitted to help almost all types of hearing losses.
Hearing aids come in two basic types:air conduction,worn directly in the ear,transmitting (傳送)vibrations (振動(dòng)) through the eardrum (耳鼓),and bone conduction,which transmit vibrations through the mastoid(乳頭狀的) bone behind the ear directly to the nerve endings of inner ear.The discovery of a new electronic miracle,known as the transistor,has made it possible to produce hearing aids so small and
so light that they can be worn directly in the outer ear or in the frames of eyeglasses.
Children under five will accept and use a hearing aid eagerly,for it is like a toy to them.If a child has hearing difficulties,parents should act immediately,in accordance with the child's needs.

66.What does the passage mainly talk about?C
A.Hearing loss.               B.Hearing aids and glasses.
C.Hearing aids.               D.None of the above.
67.Which of the following statements is true?A

C.Hearing aids can help children under five improve their reading.
D.Hearing aids can make the parents understand what their children need.
68.How does a hearing aid work?B
A.It's powered by sun batteries.           B.It's powered by tiny batteries.
C.Both A and B.                            D.Not mentioned.
69.What are the two basic types?A
A.Bone conduction and air conduction.
B.Air conduction and inner ear conduction.
C.Bone conduction and inner ear conduction.
D.Air conduction and transmitting vibration conduction.
70.Which is not the reason of hearing aid becoming equally well-accepted?C
A.You can get hearing aids in many styles.
B.Modern hearing aids are wonderfully efficient.
C.It can be placed to the nerve endings of the inner ear.
D.It can be fitted to help almost all types of hearing losses.

20.Cold weather has a great effect,on how our minds and our bodies work.Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word"cold".For centuries,the body's blood has been linked closely with the emotions.People who show no human emotions or feelings,for example,are said to be cold-blooded.Cold-blooded people act in a merciless way.They may do brutal things to others,and not by accident.For example,a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer.The killer murdered someone,not in self-defense.He seemed to kill with no emotion.
Cold can affect other parts of 1he body,the feet,for example.Heavy socks can warm your feet,if your feet are really cold.But there is an expression-to get cold feet-that has nothing to do with cold or your feet.The expression means being afraid to do something you had decided to do.For example,you agree to be president of an organization.But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned.All the work of the organization will be your responsibility.You are likely to gel cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.
Cold can also affect your shoulder.You"give someone the cold shoulder"when you refuse to speak to them.You treat them in a distant,cold way.The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone,instead of speaking to him face-to-face.You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise:he made to you.Or,to someone who has lied about you to others.
"A cold fish"is not a fish.It if a person.But it is a person who is unfriendly,unemotional and show no love or warmth.A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.
"Out in the cold"is an expression often heard.It means not getting something that everybody else got.A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise.He was left out in the cold.And it is not a pleasant place to be.

67.The text is intended to tell us thatC.
A.cold weather has a great.effect on human bodies
B."cold"is a word closely linked with human emotions
C.many English expressions contain the word"cold"
D.the word"cold"has many different meanings in English
68.The underlined word"brutal"in paragraph 1most probably meansA.
A.Cold-blooded.     B.illegal       C.impolite      D.extreme
69.Which phrase can best describe a person who is unwilling to offer anything to others?C
A.cruel                  B.To get cold feet.
C.A cold fish.          D.A cold shoulder.
70.If the teacher gives all the boys except Tom a pen as a prize,you can say heD.
