江苏省无锡市北塘区2016届九年级上学期英语期中考试试卷

根据短文理解,选择正确答案。

    I once had a hard time making a living in France. Three years ago, I moved to a new neighborhood and felt an intense(强烈的) need to meet people so I went to the cinema. Outside the cinema was a woman with long gray hair who had a strong smell and was asking for money. I reached for my wallet to give her a Euro and then something made me stop and enter into conversation with her. I said, “Look, all the women going to the cinema here on a Tuesday night are seeing a film that can change your life. I'd rather buy you a ticket than give you money.”

    She hesitated(犹豫) for a moment and then came in with me. She hid behind me because, she said, the people running the theater didn't like her. I got her a ticket and she sat next to me. There were about 80 women there; I noticed some of them were turning around and looking at me with expressions of surprise and curiosity(好奇心).

    I encouraged the woman I had bought the ticket for to come the following night to an event where there would be many representatives(代表) of various social services. I thought they could be of some help to her. She did come and I was able to direct her to an agency that helped women in her situation. At the same time, a woman came toward me and said, “Are you the person who bought a ticket for the woman outside the theater asking for handouts?” When I said yes she said, “I want you to come to the community center where I work. I want the other employees there to meet you.”

    This was the beginning of a deep friendship and colleague relationship. I now have a great job and have more work than I've ever had in my 20 years in France. And the woman I took to the cinema that night? I learned that she was not homeless and that she was a secretary.

Zhang Daqian was born in 1899 in Sichuan. He came from an art-loving family His mother first taught him painting. He copied lots of great paintings he could see. Shitao and Bada Sbanren influenced him a lot. In the early 1940s, Zhang studied the Buddhist wall paintings in Dunhuang for two years. This was important for his art growth. 

Zhang's works are famous for his many painting styles. He could paint detailed portraits(肖像). He was creative and had his own style, but his art was based on Chinese tradition. People like his later works, especially his lively splashed-ink landscapes. 

When Zhang was old, he mastered the art of "painting from heart to hand". In 1971, he chose this phrase for a stamp. This phrase has two meanings. First, Zhang was proud that he could paint nature's different things with various styles. He got this ability by copying old masters' works, making his art combine many historical styles. He also traveled a lot, which gave him more life experience to paint the world's beauty. Second, the phrase shows Zhang's belief that an artist should follow his heart to show "spirit harmony". This is an old idea about Chinese painting beauty Before painting, Zhang knew what he wanted to paint and what feeling he wanted to show. He knew how to amaze people with his paintings. 

Zhang lived a long life and died at 83 in 1983. He was energetic. He painted many paintings in his life, about 500 per year on average. 

In 2011, Zhang became the most popular Chinese artist at auction(拍卖会), more popular than Pablo Picasso. People still want his works very much.

 Throughout her life, Mckenna Reitz was known for her long, thick brown hair. The 33-year-old mom's hair1 falling out after the birth of her second daughter. She went to many hospitals, but 2 could stop her hair falling. By December of 2015, she had no hair and was told that she had alopecia(秃头症). 

 Mckenna was 3 . She spent months visiting doctors and trying anything to regrow her hair. She wouldn't leave the house without a 4 . Mckenna says she couldn't 5 look in the mirror after her hair fell out. She could hardly get out of bed in the morning, but it was her young daughters who finally6 her out of her fear. 

 Understanding that alopecia is genetic(遗传) and could someday happen to them too, she decided to 7 her daughters that hair loss is not the end of the 8 . "I needed them to understand that if it does happen to them, they could 9 it, just like they saw their mom do. " she explained. 

 From then on, she stopped trying to make her hair grow back and started to 10 herself as she is. She stopped wearing hats in public. 11 she learned to love public and then herself. She felt 12 now. My mom always said to me, "Life gives the 13 people the hardest challenges. It's made me understand that every person has their own14 . "

 Mckenna is a beautiful person, inside and out. 15 showing us that we are much more than our physical body, her strong mind is also helping remove the shame about hair loss.
