A
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(小儿麻搏症)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．
36．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
37．The terrible pain Kahlo suffered was caused by ______．
A．polio B．her bent spine
C．back injuries D．the operations she had
38．Kahlo’s style had become increasingly independent since the ______．
A．1930s B．1940s C．1950s D．1970s
39．What is author’s attitude toward Kahlo
A．Devotion． B．Sympathy．
C．Worry． D．Encouragement．

William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13,1865．His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦)that was typical of a happy family．Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”．In fact，he inherited(继承)excellent taste in art from his family—both his father and his brother were painters．But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama(戏剧)and poetry．
Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements．He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s．His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning．He didn’t lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama．
Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats’s poems attract much admiring notice．The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging．Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modem sensibility to them．As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition．
He had not enjoyed a major public lift since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923．Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life．Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the age of 50 and 75．After Yeats’s death in 1939, W．H．Auden wrote, among others, the following liners：
Earth, receive an honoured guest：
William Yeats is laid to rest．
Let the Irish vessel (船)lie．
Emptied of its poetry．
40．Which of the following can describe Yeats’s family
A．It filled Yeats’s childhood with laughter．
B．It was shocked by Yeats’s choice．
C．It was a typically wealthy family．
D．It had an artistic atmosphere．
41．According to this passage, what do we know about Yeats’s life
A．Yeats founded the first Irish theater．
B．Yeats stuck to modem forms in his poetry．
C．Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s．
D．Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize．
42．What is the passage mainly about
A．Yeats’s literary achievements．
B．Yeats’s historical influence．
C．Yeats’s artistic ambition．
D．Yeats’s national honor．

41．细节理解题。由第二段第二句可知，他想建立—所爱尔兰国家剧院，并不是第一家(first)剧院，排除A；由第三段第三句可排除B，他的作品采用传统的形式而非“现代的形式”；由第二段第三句可知他早期的戏剧作品而不是1923年获得诺贝尔文学奖前的作品不受人们喜爱，排除D。由第四段可知，叶芝最优秀的作品是在他四十岁后写成的，结合他的生日“June 13，1865”可推知C项正确。
42．推理判断题。根据文章内容可以判断出本文主要讲述了叶芝的文学成就。其他选项均不全面。

Three Boys and a Dad
Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother．Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months．“This will be like a walk in the park,” he’d told his wife．“I’ll look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom．’’
Things started well, but just after eight o’clock，his three little “good kids”一Mike, Randy, and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy”．When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum．Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat (节拍)．Mike chanted “Where’s my toast, where’s my toast” in the background．Brad realised his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds．
Life became worse after breakfast．Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head．Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants．Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes．Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes．Brad knew the talk show had already started．
By ten o’clock, things were out of control．Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter．Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils．Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands．Brad realised that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible．
At exactly 11:17, Brad called the daycare centre (日托所)．“I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away．Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes ” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling．

Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work, others that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute his or her fortune before dying．But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes, accompanied by an article from the local paper, has made a northern German city believe in fairy tales (童话)．
The first envelope was sent to a victim support group．It contained 10,000 with a cutting from Braunschweiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag; similar plain white anonymous (匿名)envelopes，each containing 10,000, then arrived at a kindergarten and a church．
The envelopes keep coming, and so far at least 190,000 has been distributed．Last month, one of them was sent to the newspaper’s own office．It came after a story it published about Tom, a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident．The receptionist at Braunschweiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of 500 inside, with a copy of the article．The name of the family was underlined．
“I was driving when I heard the news,” Claudia Neumann, the boy’s mother, told Der Spiegel magazine．“I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless．”
The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for．
“For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself, was astonishing,” Mrs Neumann said．Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character, taking from banks to give to the needy．
Henning Noske, the editor of Braunschweiger Zeitung, said, “Maybe it is an old person who is about to die．We just do not know．” However, he has told his reporters not to look for the city’s hero, for fear that discovery may stop the donations．
47．Braunschweiger Zeitung is the name of ______．
A．a church B．a bank
C．a newspaper D．a magazine
48．Which of the following is TRUE about the donation to Tom
A．The donation amounted to 190,000． B．The donation was sent directly to his house．
C．The money will be used for his education．
D．His mother felt astonished at the donation．
49．It can be inferred from the passage that ______．
A．the donator is a rich old man
B．the donation will continue to come
C．the donation comes from the newspaper
D．the donator will soon be found out
50．What would be the best title for the passage
A．Money Is Raised by the Newspaper B．Newspaper Distributes Money to the Needy
C．Unknown Hero Spreads Love in Envelopes D．Robin Hood Returns to the City

A
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(小儿麻搏症)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．
36．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
37．The terrible pain Kahlo suffered was caused by ______．
A．polio B．her bent spine
C．back injuries D．the operations she had
38．Kahlo’s style had become increasingly independent since the ______．
A．1930s B．1940s C．1950s D．1970s
39．What is author’s attitude toward Kahlo
A．Devotion． B．Sympathy．
C．Worry． D．Encouragement．

William Butler Yeats, a most famous Irish writer, was born in Dublin on June 13,1865．His childhood lacked the harmony (和睦)that was typical of a happy family．Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered “little of childhood but its pain”．In fact，he inherited(继承)excellent taste in art from his family—both his father and his brother were painters．But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama(戏剧)and poetry．
Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements．He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s．His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received favorably at the beginning．He didn’t lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama．
Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats’s poems attract much admiring notice．The subject matter includes love, nature, history, time and aging．Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he brought modem sensibility to them．As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which led him to worldwide recognition．
He had not enjoyed a major public lift since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923．Yet, he continued writing almost to the end of his life．Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now be valued as a minor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the age of 50 and 75．After Yeats’s death in 1939, W．H．Auden wrote, among others, the following liners：
Earth, receive an honoured guest：
William Yeats is laid to rest．
Let the Irish vessel (船)lie．
Emptied of its poetry．
40．Which of the following can describe Yeats’s family
A．It filled Yeats’s childhood with laughter．
B．It was shocked by Yeats’s choice．
C．It was a typically wealthy family．
D．It had an artistic atmosphere．
41．According to this passage, what do we know about Yeats’s life
A．Yeats founded the first Irish theater．
B．Yeats stuck to modem forms in his poetry．
C．Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s．
D．Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize．
42．What is the passage mainly about
A．Yeats’s literary achievements．
B．Yeats’s historical influence．
C．Yeats’s artistic ambition．
D．Yeats’s national honor．

41．细节理解题。由第二段第二句可知，他想建立—所爱尔兰国家剧院，并不是第一家(first)剧院，排除A；由第三段第三句可排除B，他的作品采用传统的形式而非“现代的形式”；由第二段第三句可知他早期的戏剧作品而不是1923年获得诺贝尔文学奖前的作品不受人们喜爱，排除D。由第四段可知，叶芝最优秀的作品是在他四十岁后写成的，结合他的生日“June 13，1865”可推知C项正确。
42．推理判断题。根据文章内容可以判断出本文主要讲述了叶芝的文学成就。其他选项均不全面。

Three Boys and a Dad
Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother．Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months．“This will be like a walk in the park,” he’d told his wife．“I’ll look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom．’’
Things started well, but just after eight o’clock，his three little “good kids”一Mike, Randy, and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy”．When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum．Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat (节拍)．Mike chanted “Where’s my toast, where’s my toast” in the background．Brad realised his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds．
Life became worse after breakfast．Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head．Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants．Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes．Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes．Brad knew the talk show had already started．
By ten o’clock, things were out of control．Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter．Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils．Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands．Brad realised that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible．
At exactly 11:17, Brad called the daycare centre (日托所)．“I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away．Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes ” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling．

Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work, others that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute his or her fortune before dying．But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes, accompanied by an article from the local paper, has made a northern German city believe in fairy tales (童话)．
The first envelope was sent to a victim support group．It contained 10,000 with a cutting from Braunschweiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag; similar plain white anonymous (匿名)envelopes，each containing 10,000, then arrived at a kindergarten and a church．
The envelopes keep coming, and so far at least 190,000 has been distributed．Last month, one of them was sent to the newspaper’s own office．It came after a story it published about Tom, a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident．The receptionist at Braunschweiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of 500 inside, with a copy of the article．The name of the family was underlined．
“I was driving when I heard the news,” Claudia Neumann, the boy’s mother, told Der Spiegel magazine．“I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless．”
The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for．
“For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself, was astonishing,” Mrs Neumann said．Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character, taking from banks to give to the needy．
Henning Noske, the editor of Braunschweiger Zeitung, said, “Maybe it is an old person who is about to die．We just do not know．” However, he has told his reporters not to look for the city’s hero, for fear that discovery may stop the donations．
47．Braunschweiger Zeitung is the name of ______．
A．a church B．a bank
C．a newspaper D．a magazine
48．Which of the following is TRUE about the donation to Tom
A．The donation amounted to 190,000． B．The donation was sent directly to his house．
C．The money will be used for his education．
D．His mother felt astonished at the donation．
49．It can be inferred from the passage that ______．
A．the donator is a rich old man
B．the donation will continue to come
C．the donation comes from the newspaper
D．the donator will soon be found out
50．What would be the best title for the passage

【答案】47．C 48．D 49．B 50．C
【解析】47．细节理解题。根据第三段第二句至第四句内容可知，上个月一份捐赠被送到报社办公室，并且是在Braunschueiger Zeitung登出一位14岁男孩汤姆在游泳事故中导致残疾的故事后寄送过来的。由此可知Braunschueiger Zeitung是报纸的名字。
