Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank Note 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分　听力(略) 第二部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。 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 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.

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。Kahlo生前默默无闻，甚至死后十多年里她的作品也鲜为人知，直到20世纪70年代以后她的作品终于享有盛名，所以今天Kahlo应该是著名的人物。因此，选择B项。 22.Kahlo’s style had become increasingly independent since the . A.1930s B.1970s C.1950s D.1940s 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知。 23.What is author’s attitude towards Kahlo? A.Devotion. B.Encouragement. C.Worry. D.Sympathy. 答案　D 解析　作者态度题。作者对主人公不幸的经历描述的客观真实，但对主人公深表同情。主人公少时患小儿麻痹症，又因车
