AWhen 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)become 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 influences 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.21.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.22.The terrible pain Kahlo suffered was caused by________.A.PolioB.her bent spineC.back injuriesD.the operations she had23.Kahlo's style had become increasingly independent since the________.A.1930sB.1940sC.1950sD.1970s24.What is author's attitude toward Kahlo?A.Devotion.B.Sympathy.C.Worry.D.Encouragement.BAcross Britain, burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers.But,according to a new study,we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work.Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours, they would earn as much as £172,000 a year.The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do,as well as the hours they are working,to determine the figure.This would make their yearly income£30,000 more than the Prime Minister earns.By analysing the numbers,it found the average mother works 119 hours a week, 40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate and 79 hours as overtime.After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18, it found that, on most days, mums started their routine work at 7 am and finished at around 11 pm.To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, parttime lawyer,personal trainer and entertainer.Being a parttime lawyer, at £48.98 an hour,would prove to be the most profitable of the "mum jobs",with psychologist(心理学家)a close second.It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional(情感的)demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother's Day.The emotional, physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be neverending,but children are also sources of great joy and happiness.Investing(投入)in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.25.How much does a Prime Minister earn,according to the passage?A.£30,000.B.£142,000.C.£172,000.D.£202,000.26.The biggest challenge for most mothers is from______.A.emotional demandB.low pay for workC.heavy workloadck of training27.What is stressed in the last paragraph?A.Mothers' importance shows in family all year long.B.The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.C.Mothers' devotion to children can hardly be calculated.D.Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.28.What can we conclude from the study?A.Mothers' working hours should be largely reduced.B.Mothers should balance their time for work and rest.C.Mothers' labour is of a higher value than it is realized.D.Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.三、单词填空(共7小题;每题2分,满分14分)29.He had o________ the difficulties with his English before he went aboard.(战胜,克服)30.
