A. Absolutely B. No way C. Not at all D. With pleasure

Most painters discover a style(风格) of painting that suits them and stick to that, especially if people admire their pictures. But Picasso, the great Spanish painter, was like a man who had not yet found his own particular style of painting. He kept on struggling to find the perfect expression till his death in 1973.

Some of Picasso's paintings are rich, soft coloured and beautiful. Others are ugly and cruel and strange. But such paintings allow us to imagine things for ourselves. They force us to say to ourselves, “What does he see that makes him paint like that?” And we begin to look beneath(在…之下) the surface of the things we see. w.w.w.k.&s.5*u.c.#om

Picasso painted thousands of pictures in different styles. Sometimes he painted the natural look of things. Sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces. He showed us what the mind knows as well as what the eye sees. At the age of 90 he remained as curious about the world as he had been when he was young. That is why people have called him “the youngest painter in the world”.

56. In the passage the writer wants to tell us _________.

A. about some pictures which have different styles

B. about Picasso's style of painting

C. it is not easy for a painter to find his own style

D. that Picasso had not found his own particular style

57. The ugly, cruel and strange paintings by Picasso _________.

A. make us try to notice something latent(潜在的) in the things

B. allow us to ask questions about them

C. force us to question anything we see

D. cause us to think what Picasso saw was different from what we see

58. The sentence“sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces” means _________.

A. sometimes he tore his pictures into pieces

B. he broke something he was painting and threw them away

C. sometimes he showed some broken pictures to others

D. things in some of his pictures seemed to be in disorder

59. Why have people called Picasso “the youngest painter in the world”?

A. Because he looked young when he was old.

B. Because he observed things with the eye and the mind.

C. Because he never stopped painting even when he was old.

D. Because he never gave up looking for something new.

60. What do you suppose the writer thinks of Picasso's paintings?

A. He doesn't understand some of them.

B. He thinks some of them are valuable, some are not.

C. He admires them, including the ugly ones.

D. He doesn't like some of them, but he admires the painter.

People often talk as if shyness is a disease or mental condition that can be cured. I prefer to think of it as an emotional disability. It’s something we are born with and something we carry with us in our entire lives. There are many people, however, who seem to be determined to find some way of doing away with their shyness. In my opinion, it’s a waste of time. I don’t mean that we should do nothing about it; quite the contrary, I think we need to separate the basic fact of our shyness from our ability to take part in a social environment.

Look at one of the most famous shy people, Johnny Carson. This man is painfully shy, yet for decades he made a living talking and associating(交往) with different people every night, in front of a national audience. Carson has never done away with his shyness, but he has successfully found a way to deal with it to the extent that he could be, not just a talk show host, but a legend(传奇) among talk show hosts. Look also at Sally Fields, who has recently admitted her problem with shyness. This is a woman who has appeared in many films, TV shows and interviews, yet in her early years she was so shy that she turned down a lunch invitation from Jane Fonda because she was terribly afraid of meeting her.

I guess that our shyness is there because each of us is born with some insecurity and this insecurity prevents us from reaching out to others the way people with a more open personality do. As we groww*w^w.k&s#5@u.c~o*m up, we allow our social skills to grow and develop. But we are still stuck in kindergarten or elementary school or wherever it was when our shyness took root in our soul.

67. In the author’s view, shyness can be explained as ________.

A. a disease that can be easily cured B. a not very normal mental condition

C. an emotional disability D. something we pick up after birth

68. The author believes it’s a waste of time to _________.

A. develop a healthy personality B. talk with people as much as possible

C. study where shyness comes from D. look for ways to do away with one’s shyness

69. Which of the following is TRUE of Johnny Carson?

A. He dared to speak in front of a national audience.

B. He did away with his shyness carefully.

C. He was described as a hero in some legend books.

D. He failed to become a good talk show host.

70. The underlined word “insecurity” in the third paragraph probably means “________”.

A. feeling safe B. feeling supported C. feeling afraid D. feeling comfortable
