试题分析：一个穷困但诚实的年轻人靠在街头拉小提琴来卖艺谋生。一天他意外地发现在人们给的钱里有一张中了大奖的彩票，于是第二天他仍然到了前一天去的地方，希望能找到失主，归还彩票。故事给我们的启示是“Honesty is the best policy”。
1.B名词辨析。A上午；B 晚上；C下午；D中午。从第二段中的The next night,可知年轻人是晚上在街头卖艺。所以B选项正确。
2.C形容词辨析。A安静的；B令人兴奋的；C漂亮的，优美的；D 熟悉度。从下文The music sounded more pleasant.判断可知此处应用beautiful来形容音乐的美妙动听，故正确答案是C。
3.C动词短语辨析。A 路过；B走开；C 慢下来；D加速。从情理可知人们听到优美动听的音乐时，应该是放慢脚步，然后把钱放到卖艺人面前。所以C选项正确。
4.D名词辨析。A钱包；B 箱子；C包，袋子；D 帽子。从下文18空后面的“thing into my hat.”可知人们把钱放到年轻人面前的帽子里，故选D选项。
5.A名词辨析。A纸；B布料；C玻璃；D塑料。根据下文17空后面的on that paper 判断可知年轻人在纸上写的字，然后展开铺到地上。所以A为正确选项。
6.B动词辨析。A唱歌；B玩耍；演奏C工作；D等待。从上下文可知年轻人是演奏小提琴的，所以判断他是放好东西后，开始拉小提琴，故B选项正确。
7.C名词辨析。A诗；B文章；C单词，字；D课文，文本。从下文“Last night ,a gentleman put a(n) thing into my hat. Please come to get it back.”可知纸上写的是寻找失主的内容，故C选项正确。
8.A形容词辨析。A重要的；B极好的； C危险的；D有趣的。从下文可知年轻人拾到的是中了$5000，000大奖的彩票，所以此处用形容词“重要的”，故A选项正确。
9.D动词辨析。A争论；B在乎；介意；C期望，预计；D猜想。从上文curious可知人们看到这种情况感觉很好奇，所以应该是猜想这个重要的东西是什么。所以D选项正确。
10.B动词辨析。A来；B匆忙，仓促；C走，散步；D离开。从故事内容可以推断丢了大奖的人应该是心情急躁的所以动作也是匆忙而且下文的in a hurry 也是重要提示，所以B选项正确。
11.D动词辨析。A得到；B发现；C忘记；D丢失。从上下文可知此处年轻人拾到了中奖的彩票来等待失主，所以别人来找的时候，应该是问他丢了什么，D选项正确。
12.B副词辨析。A迅速地；B焦急地；C严肃地；D仔细地。从情理推断丢了东西的人应该是内心焦虑着急， 所以选项B正确。
13.C形容词辨析。A困惑的；B焦虑的；C 激动的；D 惊讶的。根据情理判断当一件东西失而复得的时候，人内心应该是激动的，所以C选项正确。
14.A动词辨析。A买；B制作；C发现；D卖。从常识可知彩票是人们花钱买的，所以文中应该是Geogrge Sang买的彩票， A选项正确。
15.B动词短语辨析。A分发；B拿出；C寻找；D捡起。从下文put it in the hat when hearing the music.可知他应该是从口袋里拿出钱来，把钱放到帽子中，同时把彩票也给带了出来。所以B选项正确。
16.C动词辨析。A忘记；B记起；C返回，归还；D捡起。从上下文可知年轻人第二天去原地等待的目的是认为失主将会回到原地找丢失的彩票，所以C选项正确。
17.B副词辨析。A 哪儿；B 为什么；C 何时；D 如何。从情理的推测以及下文的回答都可以知道别人想问的是他这样做的原因，所以B选项正确。
18.B连词辨析。A因为；B尽管；C如果；D 尽管，当。。。时候。从语境可知此句和后句是转折关系，所以用although，表示尽管我没有很多钱，但是我却很快乐。
19.A名词辨析。A钱；B食物；C时间；D运气。从文章开头的a poor artist 以及他拉小提琴，人们给他帽子里放钱等可以判断此处是没有很多钱。
20.B名词辨析。A友谊；B诚实；C希望；D爱。从故事内容可以判断文章主要讲述的是年轻人的诚实，不把拾到的东西据为己有。所以B选项正确。

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）become 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 and1940s, 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.
【小题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 |
| A．polio | B．back injuries |
