　　Ⅳ.阅读理解

　　The painter Georgia O’Keeffe was born in Wisconsin in 1887 and grew up on her family’s farm.At seventeen she decided 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 Alfred Stieglitz, whom she married in 1924.During a visit to New Mexico in 1929, O’Keeffe was so moved by the bleak landscape and broad skies of the western desert that she began to paint its images.Cows’ skulls and other bleached bones found in the desert figured prominently 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 hills, and the sky as subjects for her paintings.Although O’Keeffe painted her best known works in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, she continued to produce tributes 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 identifiably American than that of her contemporaries in its simplified and idealized treatment of color, light, space and natural forms.

　　1．The main idea of this passage is that ________.

　　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 what was familiar to her

　　A．Her rural upbringing.

　　B．Her life in the West.

　　C．The works of European artists.

　　D．The appearance of the natural landscape.

　　解析：选C。细节理解题。从最后一段第二句可知，O’Keeffe有自己独立的绘画风格，没有受到欧洲画法的影响。

　　3．Alfred Stieglitz ________.

　　A．was a film director

　　B．married O’Keeffe in 1924

　　C．died in 1986

　　D．became famous when his paintings were exhibited in New York

　　解析：选B。细节理解题。由第二段第一句中“Alfred Stieglitz，whom she married in 1924”可知B项正确。

　　4．Which of the following is most similar to O’Keeffe’s relationship with nature?

　　A．A photographer’s relationship with a model.

　　B．A writer’s relationship with a publisher.

　　C．A student’s relationship with a book.

　　D．A carpenter’s relationship with a hammer.

　　解析：选A。推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知，O’Keeffe的作品基本都是自然界的真实写照，可见她与自然的关系是描写者与描写对象的关系。A项与之类似。

　　5．Why is O’Keeffe considered an artistic pioneer?

　　A．Because her work became influential in Europe.

　　B．Because she painted the American Southwest.

　　C．Because her paintings had a definite American style.

　　D．Because she painted things that were familiar to her.

　　解析：选C。推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知，O’Keeffe与其他同时代画家相比，有自己独特的绘画风格，不受欧洲画法的影响，开创了美国本土绘画风格的先河，所以被认为是艺术先驱。
