　　寫人記事（閱讀理解）

　　When Frida Kahlo’s paintings were on show in London,a poet described her paintings as “a ribbon (絲帶)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 (小兒麻痹癥)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 toward Kahlo?()

　　A.Devotion. B.Sympathy.

　　C.Worry. D.Encouragement.

　　語篇解讀:本文為記敘文,題材是人物故事類。Frida Kahlo出生于1907年,7歲患小兒麻痹癥,之后又遭遇了車禍,在病榻上自學繪畫。然而,她的作品在她早年生活的那個時代卻沒有引起足夠的重視,但最終在20世紀70年代逐步獲得了國際贊譽。

　　答案及剖析:1.D　猜測詞義題。通讀全文可知,Frida Kahlo現在比當時出名;又根據name可知D項正確。A:一個更好的藝術家;B:一個更有天賦的藝術家;C:一個更強壯的人。

　　2.C　推理判斷題。根據第二段可知,Frida Kahlo在車禍中脊柱斷了幾處,并為此進行了多次手術,但都無法治愈她的背痛。而背痛的罪魁禍首是那次車禍導致的背部傷害,故選C。A、B兩項均未提及與背痛有關的內容。

　　3.B　事實細節題。根據第三段中...but her later works from the 1940s...show less influence from her husband.可知B項正確。

　　4.B　推理判斷題。本文描述了Frida Kahlo“從小患病,之后出車禍,作品在早期未受到足夠的重視”等一系列故事,從中可以體會到作者始終很同情Frida Kahlo。A:忠誠;C:擔憂;D:鼓舞。

　　In a world with limited land, water and other natural resources (資源), the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing and globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持續的) ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.

　　Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decades. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil (棕櫚油)，which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.

　　Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions (排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.

　　The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the limits of this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.

　　) 1. The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that ______.

　　A. It makes the world warmer

　　B. it consumes natural resources

　　A. China lacks wind and solar energy.

　　B. China is the leader of the low-carbon market.

　　C. High-speed trains are a low-carbon development.

　　(

　　) 3. To full develop the low-carbon markets, government can ______.

　　A. cut public expenses

　　B. forbid carbon emission

　　(

　　) 4. We can learn from the last paragraph that businesses have many chances to ______.

　　A. develop sustainable products

　　) 5. What is the main purpose of the passage?

　　【2024界崇明縣】（A）

　　Marshall was a promising young artist. He painted with great feeling. His paintings were all characterized by a strong love and sympathy for people. His high school art teacher felt he had a special talent.

　　Marshall’s father didn’t want him to be a painter, however. Mr. Donaldson wanted his son to be a stockbroker(股票經紀人“Listen,” he told his son, “I had no say in choosing my career. I just did what my dad told me.”

　　“But you are good at business,” Marshall replied. “I’m not. I’m sure I would just cause trouble for you and problems for the company.” Marshall felt there was no way he could ever fill his father’s shoes. And, although he was no stranger to high society, he didn’t feel comfortable among the wealthy. He preferred the ordinary, working-class people of the city. His paintings told of their struggles and their hopes.

　　Sometimes after school Marshall would hang around outside a factory gate. He would draw the workers as they came out at the end of their shift. Marshall wondered how they could keep doing that hard, boring work year after year. Then he realized most of them would be doing something different if they could. But their great obstacle in life was lack of education.

　　When Marshall got home, he would take out his paintings. The paintings expressed his sympathy and respect for those hard-working people.

　　Well, Marshall never did enter the family business. This angered his father. But as Marshall got older, his career as an artist began to take off. He became quite famous, and people paid large amounts for his “plain people” paintings.

　　In time, this success won Marshall’s dad over. Mr. Donaldson could see his son was born to paint. Marshall was glad his father finally came around. And happily, the two began to work together after all. Twice each year they held a benefit art show.

　　Marshall donated a number of his paintings to be sold at each show. The persuasive Mr. Donaldson got his wealthy friends and clients(客戶) to attend—and to spend. The money from the art sales was used to help factory workers improve their education.

　　65. Why didn’t Marshall’s father want Marshall to be a painter at first?

　　A. He thought Marshall was good at business rather than art.

　　B. He expected Marshall to continue their family business.

　　C. He wanted Marshall to earn more money.

　　D. He thought Marshall was individualistic.

　　66. From the passage we can learn that ___________.

　　A. Marshall’s choice turned out to be wrong

　　B. Marshall’s choice affected their family business

　　C. Marshall’s father at last supported Marshall’s choice

　　D. Marshall’s father was always unhappy with Marshall’s choice

　　67. The underlined phrase “take off” in paragraph 7 probably means “__________”.

　　A. to take away or remove
