题目内容

16.Back in the fifteenth century,in a tiny village near Nuremberg,lived a family with eighteen children.Eighteen!In order merely to keep food on the table for this mob,the father worked almost eighteen hours a day at his trade and any other paying chore(零工) he could find in the neighborhood.Despite their seemingly hopeless condition,two of the children had a dream that they both wanted to pursue their talent for art,but they knew full well that their father would never be financially able to send either of them to Nuremberg to study at the Academy.
The two boys finally decided to toss a coin.The loser would go down into the nearby mines and,with his earnings,support his brother while he attended the academy.Albrecht Durer won the toss and went off to Nuremberg.Albert went down into the dangerous mines and,for the next four years,financed his brother,whose work at the academy was almost an immediate sensation(引起轰动的人).Albrecht's oils were far better than those of most of his professors.
Returning to his village,Albrecht said,"Now it is your turn to pursue your dream,and I will take care of you."Tears streaming down his pale face,Albert said softly"No!It is too late for me.Look what four years in the mines has done to my hands!The bones in every finger have been smashed at least once,and lately I have been suffering from arthritis(关节炎) so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a glass."
To thank Albert for all that he had sacrificed,Albrecht Durer painstakingly drew his brother's hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward.He called it"Hands,"but the entire world almost immediately opened their hearts to his great masterpiece and renamed it"The Praying Hands."

分析 文章大意:本文讲述了在十五世纪,在纽伦堡附近的一个小山村住着一家人,这家人有十八个孩子,为了养家糊口,父亲辛苦工作,尽管家庭条件不好,但是其中的两个孩子却梦想实现艺术的天赋,后来他们用掷硬币的方式决定了由谁去完成学业,由谁去打工挣钱资助另一个人,结果Albrecht Durer去了纽伦堡学习艺术,而他的哥哥Albert去矿井打工挣钱.结果Albrecht Durer非常有天赋,作品引起轰动;回到村庄以后,Albrecht Durer打算让Albert去完成学业,但是Albert却因为四年的煤矿打工而不能再去上学了,为此Albrecht Durer画了一幅画"手",后来改为"祈祷之手".这是一个非常感人爱与牺牲的故事.

解答 41.A  细节理解题. 根据文章第一段第二句Eighteen!In order merely to keep food on the table for this mob,the father worked almost eighteen hours a day at his trade and any other paying chore(零工) he could find in the neighborhood,可知父亲要努力工作去养活这么大的一个家庭.因此答案选A.
42.A 细节理解题.根据文章第二段倒数第二句Albert went down into the dangerous mines and,for the next four years,financed his brother,whose work at the academy was almost an immediate sensation(引起轰动的人).可知是Albert到煤矿打工挣钱去资助Albrecht Durer完成学业.因此答案选A.
43.B 推理判断题.根据文章最后一段最后一句话but the entire world almost immediately opened their hearts to his great masterpiece and renamed it"The Praying Hands."可以推断,后来人们了解了他们的故事后,认为这是艾伯特爱与奉献让Albrecht Durer能够取得成功,因此更名为"祈祷之手".
44.D 主旨大意题.通过对整个故事的了解,我们知道是艾伯特的爱与奉献才使得Albrecht Durer能够取得辉煌地成功,没有谁的成功是只靠自己的力量才能完成的.因此答案选D,其他选项与文意不符.
