【題目】Pablo Picasso, born in Spain in 1881, was one of the most famous artists of the 20th century. Picasso began painting when he was a small child and took advanced art courses when he was only fifteen. Between 1904 and 1947 Picasso lived in Paris. In 1947 he moved to Riviera, in the south of France.

Many people thought Picasso's works were strange and unpleasant. Still，he had a great influence on artists in every country. Today, Picasso is regarded as a genius (天才), and his paintings are in the museums all over the world.

In 1912, Picasso actually invented a new type of art. He painted a picture，then he pasted bits of paper and something else on the picture. This picture of art is called collage(拼貼藝術(shù)).

Picasso was not only a painter, he was also a sculptor (雕塑家)and a designer of scenery for plays. There are even some photographs of “ light paintings ” that he created. These paintings were produced by moving a light pencil, or a small flashlight in the air. Although the images could be seen only briefly by anyone watching them happen, the camera was able to catch the images as they occurred.

By the time he died in France in April of 1973 , he had created a staggering 22,000 works of art.

When Picasso was asked how someone could become an artist, he would reply, If you want to draw, you must shut your eyes and sing.

【1】After reading the text, we can learn that Picasso was a _________.

A. French artist

B. Spanish artist

C. English artist

D. Australian artist

【2】The meaning of the underlined word "pasted" in this text means __________

A. stuck with

B. struck on

C. drew

D. mixed with

【3】Which of the following statements best explains the meaning of Picasso's advice about how to become an artist?

A. Study hard and practise painting.

B. Only people who sing can become painters.

C. Painters should learn to paint with their eyes closed.

D. There is more to painting than just study and hard work.

【4】Which would be the best title for the text?

A. How to Become a Great Artist

B. A Genius

C. Pablo Picasso ： More Than Just a Painter

D. Picasso's Life in France

【5】According to the text, which of the statements is right?

A. Even Picasso was a great artist, he was not clever at all when he was young.

B. Picasso didn't leave Paris until he was 23 years old.

C. People didn't like Picasso's works at first.

D. Picasso was only good at collage.

【答案】

【1】B

【2】A

【3】D

【4】C

【5】C

【解析】

【1】首段說(shuō)畢加索生于西班牙，23歲才去法國(guó)。所以選B。

【2】“拼貼藝術(shù)”是畫(huà)了畫(huà)再把紙、布等材料的碎片粘上去，所以選A。注意A項(xiàng)stuck的原形是stick，而B(niǎo)項(xiàng)struck的原形是strike。

【3】結(jié)合畢加索的原話和我們對(duì)藝術(shù)的理解可知，藝術(shù)需要學(xué)習(xí)和努力，但更需要想象力，所以D項(xiàng)最佳。B、C項(xiàng)是對(duì)畢加索原話的曲解。

【4】文章始終沒(méi)有離開(kāi)對(duì)畢加索這個(gè)人物的描寫(xiě)，所以標(biāo)題必須有畢加索的人名，所以選項(xiàng)C最佳。A項(xiàng)脫離文章內(nèi)容；B項(xiàng)太寬泛；D項(xiàng)不準(zhǔn)確。

【5】由文章中的Many people thought Picasso's works werestrange and unpleasant. 可知人們一開(kāi)始是不大喜歡他的作品的。他15歲就學(xué)了高等藝術(shù)課程，說(shuō)明小時(shí)候就非常聰明，所以排除A項(xiàng)。他是1904年(23歲)來(lái)到巴黎的，不是離開(kāi)。D項(xiàng)與文義不符。

【題目】 Marjorie Baer used to joke about her retirement plans. She wasn't married and had no kids, but she didn't intend to be alone—she and all her single friends would move into a fictional home she called Casa de Biddies. Instead, Baer developed terminal brain cancer when she was 52. But just as she'd hoped, her friends and family provided her with love and care to the end.

Ballance was only the first of Baer's friends who became her unofficial caregivers. With her brother Phil Baer from Los Angeles, they worked out a system to watch over their friend and allow her to keep some of the privacy and independence she cherished.

Baer's good friend Ruth Henrich took Baer to doctors' appointments and helped her deal with all the aspects of life —answering machines, TV controls, and even phone numbers. After Henrich sent out an e-mail request, a group of volunteers signed up to ferry Baer back and forth to radiation therapy（放療）. Others in Baer's circle offered up particular talents: A nurse friend helped Baer figure out how to get what she was due from Social Security and her disability insurance; a lawyer pal helped Baer with her will; a partner who was an accountant took over her bills when she could no longer manage them. "There was this odd sense that the right person always showed up," says Ballance. Their arrangement worked remarkably well.

Unmarried women are one of the fastest-growing groups in America; experts are concerned about how care-giving will be managed for them as they age. If the experience of Baer's friends is a guide, the Internet will play a role. It's already making it possible to create communities of caregivers who may have only one thing in common: the person who needs their help. On personal "care pages" set up through services such as Lotsa Helping Hands, friends and family members can post a list of tasks that need to be done, volunteer to do them, and keep updated on the person's condition. As Baer's cancer progressed, for example, her friends set up a page on Yahoo! where people could sign up to deliver meals or do errands（差事）.

Catherine Fox, one of the friends who were present when Baer died, was deeply affected. "It was so comforting to know that if you're willing to ask for help, the generosity of family and friends can be phenomenal（顯著的）. It makes me feel secure and hopeful to know that help is there when you need it. "

【1】The most appropriate title of this passage should be ______.

A．On her own, but not alone

B．A friend in need is a friend indeed

C．A new practice of American government

D．An impressive advantage of the Internet

【2】The underlined part in paragraph four suggests that the Internet will ______.

A．play a role in American future pension system

B．provide online medical care for aged unmarried women

C．help manage care-giving for unmarried women as they age

D．help those aged unmarried women to kill their spare time

【3】The writer tells us the story of Marjorie Baer for the purpose of ______.

A．reminding us to be kind and make as many friends as we can

B．informing that there will be a new trend of care-giving for the single elderly

C．persuading us that we can enjoy our retirement even if we don’t have a child

D．introducing the convenience that will be brought by the Internet after we retire

【題目】Arthur Miller( 1915 - 2005) is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century. Miller's father had moved to the USA from Austria-Hungary, drawn like so many others by “the Great American Dream". However, he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s.

Miller's most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system，with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble with this system. Willy is “ burnt out ” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment ： if he can't do the work，then he is no good to his employer，the Wagner Company, and he must go. Willy is painfully aware of this，and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success. He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.

When it was first staged in 1949，the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won the Tony Award for Best Play，the New York Drama Critics' Circle Award，and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.

Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut , on the evening of February 10,2005 , the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.

【1】Why did Arthur Miller's father move to the USA?

A. He suffered from severe hunger in his home country.

B. He was attracted by"the Great American Dream".

C. He hoped to make his son a dramatist.

D. His family business failed.

【2】The play Death of a Salesman __________.

A. exposes the cruelty of the American business world

B. discusses the ways to get promoted in a company

C. talks about the business career of Arthur Miller

D. focuses on the skills in doing business

【3】What can we learn about Willy Loman?

A. He treats his employer badly.

B. He runs the Wagner Company.

C. He is a victim of the American system.

D. He is regarded as a hero by his colleagues.

【4】After it was first staged, Death of a Salesman __________.

A. achieved huge success

B. won the first Tony Award

C. was warmly welcomed by salesmen

D. was severely attacked by dramatists

【5】What is the text mainly about?

A. Arthur Miller and his family.

B. The awards Arthur Miller won.
