The painter Georgia O’keeffe was born in Wisconsin in 1887 and grew up on her family’s farm. At seventeen she decided she wanted to be an artist and left the farm for schools in Chicago and New York, but she never lost her bond with the land. Like most painters, O’Keeffe painted the things that were most important to her, and nearly all her works are simplified portrayals of nature.
O’Keeffe became famous when her paintings were discovered and exhibited in New York by the photographer Levered Stieglitz, whom she married in 1924. During a visit to New York in 1929, O’Keeffe was so moved by the bleak（荒涼的） landscape and broad skies of the Western desert that she began to paint its images. Cows’ skulls and other bleached（變白的） bones found in the desert figured prominently（突出的） in her paintings. When her husband died in 1946, she moved to New Mexico permanently and used the horizon lines of the desert, colorful flowers, rocks, barren(貧瘠的) hills, and the sky as subjects for her paintings. Although O’Keeffe painted her best known works in the 1920’s, 1930’s and 1940’s, she continued to produce tributes（貢品、頌詞） to the Western desert until her death in 1986.
O’Keeffe is widely considered to have been a pioneering American modernist painter. While most early modern American artists were strongly influenced by European art, O’Keeffe’s position was more independent. She established her own vision and preferred to view her painting as a private endeavor. Almost from the beginning, her work was more indentifiably American than that of her contemporaries in its simplified and idealized treatment of color, light, space, and natural forms.
Which of the following best tells what this passage is about ?
A. O’Keeffe was a distinctive modern American painter.
B. O’Keeffe was the best painter of her generation.
C. O’Keeffe liked to paint only what was familiar to her.
D. O’Keeffe used colors and shapes that are too reduced and simple.
Which of the following is NOT mentioned as an influence on O’Keeffe’s paintings ?
A. Her rural upbringing B. Her life in the West
C. The works of European artists D. The appearance of the natural landscape
Which of the following is most similar to O’Keeffe’s relationship with nature?
A. A photoghrapher’s relationship with a model.
B. A writer’s relationship with a publisher.
C. A student’s relationship with a teacher
D. A carpenter’s relationship with a hammer.
Why is O’Keeffe considered an artistic pioneer ?
A. Her work became influential in Europe.
B. She painted the American Southwest.
C. Her paintings had a definite American style.
D. She painted things that were familiar to her.

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth.”
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易動感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface”.
As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
【小題1】The passage shows that ______.
| A．mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter |
| B．mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done |
| C．mother cared much about her daughter in words |
| D．mother wrote to her daughter in careful words |
| A．deep understanding between the old and the young |
| B．different ideas between the mother and the daughter |
| C．free talks between mother and daughter |
| D．part of the sea going far in land |
| A．She had never received the letter. |
| B．For years, she often talked about the letter. |
| C．She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life. |
| D．She read the letter again and again till she died. |
| A．My letter to Mother | B．Mother and Children |
| C．My mother’s Desk | D．Talks between Mother and Me |

As the Internet’s influence grows, the potential for danger also escalates (逐步上升). One of these dangers is from cyber-bullying. Cyber-bullying (網(wǎng)絡(luò)欺凌) is repeatedly hurting someone else through the use of technology. It consists of sending or posting cruel messages, photos, or videos on the Internet or other electronic media with the intent of damaging the reputation of the target. Imagine being a 13-year-old girl discovering a cell phone picture of her changing clothes for gym class has been sent to all her classmates. Or imagine being an 11-year-old boy who is scared to go to school because an unknown bully sent him an instant message saying that he is so fat that he should kill himself. Cases such as these are happening every day, leading kids to be depressed and unable to concentrate.
Worse yet, parents are oblivious (忽視的) to what is happening. Only 15 percent of parents even know what cyber-bullying is. And anyone who thinks that their child is not a victim or a bully is probably wrong. 90 percent of middle school students have had their feelings hurt online and 75 percent have admitted to visiting a website attacking another student.
Unlike traditional schoolyard bullying, where a bully has a name and a face, cyber-bullying gets much of its power from anonymity (匿名). A cyber bully might design a website posting cruel remarks about a classmate and never tell anyone that he or she was the creator. The cyber-bullying also gets its power from the scope (范圍) of its audience. Within seconds, a cyber bully can send an e-mail to everyone he or she knows, inviting them to take part in an online poll (民意測驗) of who is the ugliest kid in their class. Victims can be picked on day and night from any place.
The good news is that you can help stop cyber-bullying. By making parents and educators aware of what is going on and encouraging them to take quick and strong action when cyber-bullying cases happen, you can help make technology constructive, not destructive, for young people.
【小題1】What can we learn from the second paragraph?
| A．Not many students have known of cyber-bullying. |
| B．Parents may not know their child is a victim of cyber-bullying. |
| C．Parents know a lot of cyber-bullying. |
| D．Most of the students have not been hurt by cyber-bullying. |
| A．It is not as harmful as people think. |
| B．It is too complex a problem to settle. |
| C．It will not affect the relationship between classmates. |
| D．It can be stopped through our efforts. |
| A．How to prevent cyber-bullying. |
| B．What parents and educators think of cyber-bullying. |
| C．How to make parents aware of cyber-bullying. |
| D．How to make good use of technology. |
