【题目】阅读理解。
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 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.
【答案】
【1】D
【2】C
【3】B
【4】B
【解析】
试题解析:
根据文章的最后一段可知,她在世和去世后的十几年里,她的作品没有引起人们的注意,但在20世纪70年代后,她开始赢得了国际声誉,所以a much bigger name指“更有名的人”,故D项符合题意。
解析:根据第二段第三句“Then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident.”可知,C项符合题意。
解析:根据第三段最后一句“...but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.”可知,B项符合题意。
解析:作者在第一段最后一句用了Sadly,在最后一段开头用了Unfortunately,第二段介绍了她小时候的遭遇,最后一段介绍了她去世十多年后才开始得到人们的认可,这些都体现了作者同情的态度。

Dear Manager,
I am an exchange student from the UK. Yesterday, I went to your cinema to see a film. The film was very well, but I did not enjoy it because there were some problem in the cinema.
First, the film was delayed as there were so much advertisements at the beginning. It was rather annoyed. Second, the sound of the film was too loud that I could hardly bear. The EXIT sign could not be seen clearly, which presented lots of potential safety dangers. If something terribly should happen, it will be difficult for people to get out quickly.
As a visitor to your city, I'm disappointed with my experience in your cinema. I am writing a letter in the hope that you can consider about these problems and make some improvement.
Yours faithfully,
Jack
