Question

9．When Frida Kahlo's paintings were on show in London，a poet described her paintings as"a ribbon （絲帶）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 nametoday than she was during her time．
Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City，Kahlo suffered from polio（小兒麻痹癥）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 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．

Answer 1

分析 本文是一篇人物傳記，介紹了墨西哥著名藝術家弗里達•卡洛的人生以及她的遭遇．
卡洛對她那個時期的藝術世界有著很大的影響．不幸的是，實際上在世時遠不如今天有名．
卡洛出生墨西哥．7歲時，患上小兒麻痹癥．她的脊柱隨著年齡的增長變得彎曲．1925年，背部多處骨折．在卡洛的余生中，經歷過許多手術，但是無論什么都治愈不了她背部的錐心之痛．然而，那場車禍也帶來了一個意外的收獲：當她躺在床上康復期間，卡洛自學了繪畫．
在卡洛早期的作品中里維拉對卡洛畫風的強烈影響，但是在她那些20世紀40年代以后的作品中，她丈夫的影響很少．1953年舉辦了在墨西哥首個女畫家個人畫展．1954年去世后的十多年里，卡洛的畫作仍不廣為人知，但是從20世紀70年代開始，她的作品最終聲名鵲起．

解答 ABAC

51．A  推斷題．根據第一段第二句中的"Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time"可推斷"a much bigger name"應與"had a big influence on…"的意思相近，即 Frida Kahlo 在今天更加有名；從最后一段第三、四句 For more than a decade after her death in…began to gain international fame at last 也可以看出她的作品在她死后變得更加有名．故正確答案為A．
52．B 細節題．根據第二段第三、四句"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．"可知，Kahlo 的劇痛是由于車禍中背部受傷造成的．故正確答案為B．
53．A 細節題．根據第三段最后一句中"…but her later works from the 1940s，known today as her best works，show less influence from her husband．"可知，Kahlo 的作品在二十世紀四十年代后開始較少地受到她丈夫的影響，變得更加獨立．故正確答案為A．
54．C 細節題．根據最后一段第一句"Unfortunately，her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and1940s，even in her home country．"以及后文內容可知，作者對 Kahlo 在世時沒有能夠得到認可感到深深的遺憾和同情．故正確答案為C．
