【题目】When Frida Kahlo’s paintings were on show in London, a poet described her paintings as “ a ribbon(丝带)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(小儿麻痹症) 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 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.
【1】What does the phrase “a much bigger name” in Paragraph 1 most nearly mean?
A. a far better artist
B. a much more famous person
C. a much stronger person
D. a far more gifted artist
【2】The terrible pain Kahlo suffered was caused by .
A. back injuries B. her bent spine
C. polio D. the operations she had
【3】Kahlo’s style had become increasingly independent since the .
A.1930s B. 1970s C. 1950s D. 1940s
【4】What is the author’s attitude toward Kahlo?
A. Devotion. B. Encouragement.
C. Worry. D. Sympathy.
【答案】
【1】B
【2】A
【3】D
【4】D
【解析】
试题分析:文章介绍了著名的艺术家Kahlo。
【1】B 猜测词义题。根据文章可知在她去世以后她的名气更大了,比她在世的时候还要大。故这个短语指更著名的人,故选B。
【2】A根据第2段2,3行Her spine (脊柱)become bent as she grew older. Then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident.可知是脊柱的问题也就是背部的问题,故选A。
【3】D细节理解题。根据第3段后两行but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.可知是从1940s她开始独立,故选D。
【4】D作者态度题。根据文章可知这位艺术家一生受尽折磨,有生之年并没有得到太多的荣誉,只是去世以后才出名。故作者对她持同情的态度,故选D。

【题目】iPhone owners are vainer and spend more on clothes and grooming (仪容) than those who have BlackBerrys and Android phones, new research claims.
BlackBerry owners earn the most and are more likely to have long-term relationships, while people with Android handsets are most creative and the best cooks.
The study, carried out by TalkTalk Mobile, surveyed 2,000 owners of the three major smartphone brands to determine whether the choice of handset was an extension of their personality. The study rated users in various walks of life using a point scoring system including personalities, daily habits and the type of industries they work in.
Other results from the study found that people with an iPhone are more image conscious and generally rate themselves more attractive than those with other handsets. They are most likely to describe themselves as adventurous, bright and are most likely to work in media, publishing and education. They also believe their boss rates them highly. Apple owners also tend to have done more travelling and are the most active on social media sites.
BlackBerry owners were found to be the least punctual, but despite putting in the least hours at work they are the most active phone user — sending more texts and making more calls in the average day than any other phone user. They are more social and have more friends overall. They also earn nearly two and a half thousand pounds a year more than other smartphone owners, with an average salary of $27,406. BlackBerry users classed themselves so loud and mainly work in the health, finance or property sectors. They were also found to drink more tea and coffee each day than any other phone user.
Android owners were found to watch more TV than others and drink the most alcohol — consuming more in an average week than iPhone and BlackBerry drinkers. They have the most jobs in engineering, the government and public services and environmental services. They have the best manners and are more shy and relaxed than their counterparts.
Dan Meader, Director of Mobile at TalkTalk, said, “Many of us have our mobile phones on us almost constantly so they do become an extension of us in many ways. It’s interesting to see then how the choice in handset may reflect different aspects of personality and the results do show some unusual differences.”
【1】The underlined words “image conscious” (Paragraph4) mean “caring about ________”.
A. income B. appearance
C. social media D. interpersonal relationships
【2】 What were Android users found to be like?
A. Loud. B. Brave. C. Polite. D. Confident.
【3】 Dan Meader may agree that the kind of mobile phone we use ________.
A. will decide the way we live our life
B. can be a window into the lives we lead
C. can change our personalities gradually
D. has become the most important part of our life
【4】How is the text organized?
A. By drawing comparisons. B. By giving reasons only.
C. By providing examples. D. By giving solutions.

【题目】请阅读下面短文,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
Cleanliness is important to academic success at one Chinese university where compulsory labor is part of a program designed to award class credits while teaching students with proper moral values.
During winter,the sky is still dark at 6:30 a.m.when the first year students in Trade and Management College in Zhengzhou begin sweeping the 165 acre campus and it can take up to an hour.
Mr.Sun,the university official,said labor is good for building character and promotes “the spirit of hard work.” Some students also claim that they are always proud of the clean campus.They never litter because they’ve been through the labor and understand that they should respect the fruits of labor of others.
Some students,however,are against it because they feel the demands of the cleaning program are a distraction.Some often show up late and hungry to their morning classes after rushing to sweep the campus and clean their rooms.
