When Kate’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 Kate 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, Kate 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, Kate taught herself to paint.
In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexican artist. Rivera’s strong influences on Kate’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, Kate’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 underlined phrase “a much bigger name” in paragraph 1 most probably 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 Kate suffered was caused by .
A. polio B. her bent spine
C. back injuries D. the operations she had
3.Kate’s style had become increasingly independent since the .
A.1930s B. 1940s C. 1950s D. 1970s
4.What is author’s attitude toward Kate?
A. Devotion. B. Sympathy.
C. Worry. D. Encouragement.

Some people may say a hero is someone older than you, someone you personally know, someone who has done something everyone knows about, etc. I don’t think a hero necessarily has to be an older person or a close friend or a family member. My hero is younger than me, but we are related. His name is Marcus. He is my cousin. He isn’t necessarily a wise person or someone who does something great every day, but he has taught me to appreciate some of the simple things in life.
I am now in 11th grade. When I was in 8th grade, Marcus had a brain tumor (脑瘤) which had to be removed. Thankfully the tumor was benign (良性的). When the doctors removed it Marcus lost his sight. He felt down only once. Ever since then, he has been an extremely happy second-grader. He is very typical of a nine-year-old. He likes to tell jokes, play new games, and he likes to play tricks on people, just like children at his age. I love spending time with him. We go to movies whenever there is a good one and look after him every chance I get.
I say that Marcus helps to appreciate the simple thing in life. He doesn’t have his sight and that causes me to realize how lucky I am to be able to see, to walk, and to talk. I can do everything I need to. If everyone could see how happy and satisfied Marcus is and how much he makes everyone around him happy, then they might just be able to better appreciate the simple things in life.
1.It can be inferred that the author has_________.
A. the same idea about heroes as others
B. a different idea about heroes from others
C. the idea that a hero must be older
D. the idea that a hero must be a close friend
2.Why does the author consider his cousin as a hero?
A. Because his cousin is a very wise person..
B. Because his cousin does great things every day.
C. Because his cousin teaches him how to enjoy a simple life.
D. Because his cousin teaches him to live a rich life.
3.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Marcus looks older than his age.
B. Marcus isn’t nine years old at all.
C. Marcus is different from the other students.
D. Marcus is the same as the other children at his age.
4.What makes the author think himself lucky?
A. Marcus’ simple life. B. Marcus’ serious illness.
C. Marcus’ blindness. D. Marcus’ recovery.

After the Summer Olympics are over, when all the athletics have gone home and the television audience has switched off, another group of athletics and fans will arrive at the host city, and another competition will begin.These are the Paralympics, the games for athletes with a disability.But in Beijing in 2008, for the first time, one of the greatest Paralympics will not be taking part.
She is a British athlete by the name of Tanni Grey-Thormpson.Born with spina bifida (脊椎裂) which left her paralyzed from the waist down.Tanni used a wheelchair from the age of 7.At first, she was not keen on sport, apart from horse-riding, which gave her a sense of freedom.But in her teens, she started taking sports more seriously.She tried swimming, basketball and tennis.Eventually

Tanni’s enduring success had been part motivation(动机), part preparation, “The training I do that enables me to be a good sprinter(短跑运动员) enables me to be good at a marathon too.I train 50 weeks of the year and that keeps me prepared for whatever distance I want to race.I am still competing at a very high lever, but as I get older things get harder and I want to retire before I fall apart.”
