　　Ⅳ.閱讀理解

　　A

　　Rembrandt was an extraordinary Dutch painter. He was most well-known for his brushwork and the way in which he connected with the human soul. His life, however, was not happy.

　　He was born on July 15, 1606 in Leiden, the Netherlands. His father wanted him to have a real, learned profession but Rembrandt left the University of Leiden after becoming bored. He began studying art under a local teacher but soon left and studied in Amsterdam where he mastered all his lessons in six months!

　　At the age of 22, he moved back to Leiden and began to get his own students. One of his students was the famous artist Gerrit Dou. In 1631 he returned to Amsterdam where he became the most popular portrait painter in Holland. Rembrandt met Saskia and married her in 1634. She was a cousin of a very successful art dealer and she helped him to meet wealthy people who commissioned (委任制作) many paintings from him. He used her as a model in many of his paintings.

　　Rembrandt's private life, however, was very unfortunate. He had four children with Saskia but only one, Titus, survived. Saskia diet in 1642 at the age of only 30. In 1649, his housekeeper became his second wife and was also a model for many of his paintings. Even though Rembrandt was very successful as an artist, art dealer and teacher, he lived in a careless way and had to declare bankruptcy (破產) in 1656. He even had to sell his whole art collection and his house to pay off his debts.

　　His unfortunate life, however, didn't affect his art. He painted many great paintings during that time. His new love, Hendrickje, died in 1663 and his 27-year-old son, Titus, died in 1668. Eleven months later, on October 4, 1669, Rembrandt died in Amsterdam. He produced more than 600 paintings and over 2, 000 drawings!

　　荷蘭藝術家Rembrandt大學還沒畢業就拜師學畫畫，一生有2600多幅作品問世。然而他的一生極具悲劇色彩。

　　1．Which of the following is the reason that made his business fail?

　　A．As an extraordinary Dutch painter, he knew nothing about business.

　　B．He spent most of his time on art, leaving no time to care his business.

　　C．All his children but Titus died, which made him very sad.

　　D．Like other famous artists, he was thoughtless.

　　答案： D　細節理解題。由第四段中的“he lived in a careless way and had to declare bankruptcy (破產) in 1656.” 可知是他的疏忽、考慮不周造成了生意的失敗。題中的“thoughtless”和原文的“careless”意義相近。

　　2．From the passage we learn that Rembrandt ________.

　　A．graduated from the University of Leiden

　　B．began his teaching career in 1628

　　C．married Saskia when he was 22 years old

　　D．was good at drawing animals and flowers

　　答案：B　細節理解題。根據第二段的“He was born on July 15, 1606...”和第三段的“At the age of 22, he...get his own students”可推算出他是在1628年開始他的教學生涯的。他并沒有從大學畢業，A項錯誤；他1606年出生，1634年結婚，時年28歲，C項錯誤；D項文中未提及。

　　3．How many members of Rembrandt's family died before him, not including his parents?

　　A．Four.　B．Five.　C．Six.　D．Seven.

　　答案：C　推理判斷題。第四段提到他的第一個妻子與三個孩子辭世，第五段提到他的27歲的兒子Titus和第二個妻子也去世了，總共6個家人在他之前去世。

　　4．What's the best title for this passage?

　　A．A Brief Biography of Rembrandt

　　B．A Great Dutch Painter

　　C．The Greatest Painter in the World

　　D．Rembrandt's Unhappy Family

　　答案：A　主旨大意題。本文按時間順序簡單介紹了Rembrandt的成長、事業、家庭等，也就是他一個簡單的“傳記”，故A項作為本文標題最合適。

　　B

　　(2024·成都三診)Everyone knows the smart black-and-white dog that sits on top of a red doghouse with his best friend—a bird called Woodstock.

　　Created by the American cartoonist Charles Schulz in 1950, the clever dog is loved by generations of kids and adults. He speaks more than 20 languages and appears daily in 26,000 newspapers around the world.

　　When Snoopy first appeared, he was not different from other pet dogs. But two years later, he had begun to speak with simple words and sounds. By 1957 he could walk on two legs and was going to school with his master, Charlie Brown, who failed in just about everything. Later he learned to use the typewriter.

　　Snoopy has done lots of jobs. He has been a bow-tie wearing lawyer, a tennis player, an Olympic figure skater, a world famous grocery checkout clerk, a pilot and even the first astronaut on the moon.

　　However, Snoopy has always dreamed of being a famous writer. The beginning of his story is always, “It was a dark and stormy night...”Unfortunately for him no one has ever wanted to publish the story.

　　In love, Snoopy is as much of a failure as Charlie Brown is at baseball. He easily falls in love but always has his heart broken. He eats to forget, but it never works.

　　Snoopy is an insightful (富有洞察力的)，feel-good and sometimes sad dog. If you think a little about his words, you might find them full of lie lessons. Among his most famous lines are “To live is to dance, to dance is to live.” and “Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There's so little hope for advancement”．

　　史努比(Snoopy)是美國卡通作家Charles Schulz創作出來的經典動漫形象。它是一只性格外向的小狗，也是世界上最純真、聰明的狗狗，它的漫畫形象早已風靡世界。

　　5．Snoopy has done all the following jobs EXCEPT ________.

　　A．a lawyer

　　B．a player

　　C．a clerk

　　D．a writer

　　答案：D　細節理解題。文章第四段中談到Snoopy曾做過律師、網球手、職員等；第五段中的“However, Snoopy has always dreamed of being a famous writer.”表明當作家一直是Snoopy的夢想，但未曾實現。

　　6．From the passage, we can learn that ________.

　　A．Snoopy is always a sad dog

　　B．Snoopy can not speak in the beginning

　　C．Snoopy often dreams of true love

　　D．Snoopy is a real smart pet dog

　　答案：B　細節理解題。由文章第三段中的“When Snoopy first appeared, he was not different from other pet dogs. But two years later, he had begun to speak with simple words and sounds.”可知史努比(Snoopy)最初不會講話。

　　7．It can be inferred that Snoopy ________.

　　A．has many bird friends and relatives

　　B．is a well-known writer and clerk

　　C．has been unfortunate since it was born

　　D．is very popular in the whole world

　　答案：D　推理判斷題。由文章第二段內容可知，史努比(Snoopy)風靡世界，很受歡迎。

　　8．The underlined word “advancement” probably means ______.

　　A．success

　　B．progress

　　C．growth

　　D．popularity

　　答案：B　詞義猜測題。文中最后一段中的內容“Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still be a dog.”表明advancement意思為“進展，促進，改進”，與選項B(progress)意義相近。
