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)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 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 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 much more famous person.C.A much stronger person.D.A far more gifted artist.答案 B解析词义猜测题。

AEurope's long history of conflict has meant the people of the area developed some great skills in castle building, and there are many that are still in excellent condition today, despite being several centuries old, and are well worth visiting and exploring.Gravensteen, BelgiumDating from the twelfth century, this castle was built by Philip of Alsace and it includes many design features (特征) that he saw during his journey to the Holy Land. The castle served as the seat of the Counts of Flanders for several centuries, then being used as a prison and a courthouse before it was finally purchased by the city of Ghent, and has since been rebuilt with a historical museum.Bran Castle, RomaniaStanding on a wooded hillside, this castle has become known as Dracula's Castle. The stone castle was built in the late fourteenth century, on the site of a previous fortress (要塞) destroyed by the Mongol army in the thirteenth century. It was militarily (在军事上) important in the area for centuries. The orange roofs on many of the towers help the castle to stand out against the surrounding woodland.Borgholm Castle, SwedenThis impressive ruin is one that can be associated with a name that is known across the world, as it was the seat of King Canute. The castle was first built in the second half of the thirteenth century. Due to its strategic (战略) location it has frequently come under attack over the centuries, but it was changed from a strong fortress to a baroque (巴洛克风格) palace in the seventeenth century. However, visitors to the castle can still see how grand the building would have been in the past.语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。

1．How much will the magazine pay for a joke to be published?A．$50. B．$100.C．$150. D．$350.解析：细节理解题。
根据Anecdotes and Jokes里面的句子：$50可知，这本杂志会为笑话付50美元的稿费，所以选A。
答案：A2．If you want to share a story of your pets with the readers，you need to submit it to ________．A．Anecdotes and Jokes B．Smart AnimalsC．Power of Love D．My story解析：细节理解题。
根据Smart Animals里面的句子：“Send us a tale about the strangebehaviour of unique pets or wildlife in up to 300 words，”可知，如果你想和读者分享宠物的故事，你需要提交给Smart Animals，所以选B。
答案：B3．A story showing people's generosity should be e－mailed to the editor at ________．A．juliet@ B．susan@C．audrey@ D．nanjc@解析：细节理解题。
根据Power of Love里面的句子：“Acts of generosity...E－mail：susan@.”可知，展示人们慷慨的故事应该用电邮发给susan@的编辑，故选B。
答案：B4．An inspiring story sent to the magazine should ________．A．describe strange behaviourB．contain less than 800 wordsC．be real and originalD．be published before解析：细节理解题。
根据My Story里面的句子：“Your story must be true, unpublished, original and 800－1，000 words.”可知一个激励人心的故事应该是真实的、原创的，故选C。
答案：CBEven at school there had been an unhealthy competition between George and Richard.“I'll be the first millionaire in Coleford！” Richard used to boast.“And you'll be sorry you knew me，” George would reply，“because I'll be the best lawyer in town！”George never did become a lawyer and Richard never made any money.Instead both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street.It was hard to make money from books, which made the competition between them worse.Then Richard married a mysterious girl.The couple spent their honeymoon on the coast—but Richard never came back.The police found his wallet on a deserted beach but the body was never found.He must have drowned.Now with only one bookshop in town, business was better for George.But from time to time, he sat in his narrow, old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window,thinking about his former rival(竞争对手)．Perhaps he missed him?George was very interested in old dictionaries.He'd recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a ra re first edition.When the parcel arrived, the book was in perfect condition and George was delighted.But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in.He was astonished—the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable! Trembling, George started reading.“Bookends have bought ten bookstores from their rivals Dylans.The company, owned by multi－millionaire Richard Pike, is now the largest bookseller in Australia.”【语篇解读】乔治和理查德是互相自吹自擂的朋友，乔治说他会成为镇上最好的律师，而理查德说他将成为这里的第一个百万富翁，但是最后理查德实现了他的诺言，而乔治没有成为律师。
5．George and Richard were ________ at school.A．competitors B．good friendsC．roommates D．booksellers解析：细节理解题。
根据文章第一自然段可知，乔治和理查德在学校有着不健康的竞争。
B项good friends意思为“好朋友”，与文章的意思正好相反，故B项排除；C项的roommates 意思为“室友”，文章没提到，故排除C项； D项booksellers意思为“书籍出版商”，这是他们毕业之后才开始的职业，故D项排除；故A项正确。
答案：A6．George got information about Richard from ________．A．a dictionary collector in AustraliaB．the latter's rivals DylansC．the wrapping paper of a bookD．a rare first edition of a dictionary解析：细节理解题。
根据文章倒数第二自然段“But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in.”可知乔治看了包裹字典的报纸上的照片才知道了理查德的信息。
其他三个选项与本题无关，故可排除。
故C项正确。
答案：C7．What happened to George and Richard in the end?A．Both George and Richard became millionaires.B．Both of them realized their original dreams.C．Richard became very rich while George had no great success.D．George established a successful business while Richard was missing.解析：细节理解题。
