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 school­bus 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 one­woman 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.

31. What does the phrase “a much bigger name” in Paragraph 1 mostly mean?

A. A far better artist.

B．A far more gifted artist.

C．A much stronger person.

D.A much more famous person.

32．The terrible pain Kahlo suffered was caused by ________.

A．polio B．her bent spine

C．back injuries D．the operations she had

33. Kahlo's style had become increasingly independent since the ________．

A．1930s B．1940s

C．1950s D． 1970s

34. What is the author's attitude toward Kahlo?

A．Devotion. B．Sympathy.

C．Worry. D．Encouragement.

B

I was off to go back to work one evening when I saw my two children were busy sewing things on the sewing machine. My 11­year­old daughter was, in the midst of her project, going to assist her elder brother in making a little cushion. I left, and after a few hours returned to find a mess in the kitchen and in the front room, and both children sitting in front of the television.

Having had a long day, I was too tired to greet them and then I noticed the material my daughter had used. It had been purchased to make a color­coordinated (颜色协调的) baby blanket, and now had chunks (块) cut out of almost every piece of fabric. Not stopping to listen, I exploded at the children and explained how angry I was at what had been done.

My daughter listened to me sheepishly, not trying to defend herself at all, but the pain could be seen written across her face. She retreated to her room, and spent some time there alone before she came out to say good night and once again apologized for the mistake she had made.

A few hours later, as I was preparing to go to bed, I found that there on my bed lay a beautiful, little cushion made out of the forbidden fabric, with the words “I LOVE MOM”．Alongside it was a note apologizing again, and the innocence in which she had taken the fabric.

To this day, I still get tears in my eyes when I think of how I reacted and still feel the pain of my actions. It was I who then went to her and apologized for my actions. I display with great pride the cushion on my bed, and constantly use it to remind me that nothing in this world is greater than a child's love.

35．The underlined word can be replaced by “________”．

A．hopefully came up B．hopefully went back

C．quietly came up D．quietly went back

36．What did the children do?

A．They cut out the material and made it into a baby blanket.

B．They cut the material into pieces and used them to clean the TV set.

C．They cut the material into pieces on which they wrote apologizing words.

D．They made a cushion with the material to show their love for Mom.

37．What can be inferred from the text?

A．The two children are good at sewing.

B．The two children are introverted (内向的)．

C．The mother is often rude to her children.

D．The mother is regretful for what she did.

38．The passage is mainly to tell about________．

A．a mom's tears B．a mom's love　

C．a child's love D．a child's complaint
