When Frida Kahlo's paintings were on show in London,a poet described her paintings as "ribbons (絲帶) around a bomb". Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time. Sadly,she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time.
Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City,Kahlo suffered from polio (脊髓灰質炎) at the age of seven. Her spine (脊柱) became bent as she grew older. Then,in 1925,her back was broken in several places in a school bus acci?dent. Throughout the rest of her life,the artist had many operations,but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. However,the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering,Kahlo taught herself to paint.
In 1929,she got married to Diego Rivera,another famous Mexican artist. Rivera's strong influences on Kahlo's style can be seen in her early works,but her later works from the 1940s,known today as her best works,show less influence from her husband.
Unfortunately,her works did -not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s,even in her home country. Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953. For more than a decade after her death in 1954,Kahlo's works re?mained largely unnoticed by the world,but in the 1970s her works began to gain in?ternational fame at last.

[2015山東省實驗中學高三第一次模擬考試] Three decades ago,Steve McCurry took arguably the most famous picture of all time. Yet even after all this time,the pho?tographer is filled with enthusiasm when he talks about Afghan Girl.
"I knew she had an incredible look,a sharp gaze,"he recalls. "It was before the digital camera and with the big crowd and dust all around* you never knew what would happen with the film. When I developed the picture,I knew it was special. I showed it to the editor of the Na?tional Geographic,and he jumped to his feet and shouted, 'That's our next cover.”，
Not only did Afghan Girl become the magazine's next cover,but the most successful in its famous history. The striking portrait of 12-year-old Sharbat Gula,in a ref?ugee camp,was taken in December 1984 and published the following year.
When McCurry reflects upon its popularity,what ex?cites him most is the impact that this single image has had on the real world.
"People volunteered to work in the refugee camps be?cause of that photograph,"he says. "Afghans are incredi?bly proud of it,as the girl is poor but shows great pride,strong will and self-respect. It drew attention to then poor situation,and inspired a lot of people. ” It also led the National Geographic to set up the' Afghan Children's Fund―and meant that to this day,McCurry is never charged a fare by appreciative Afghan taxi drivers.
The portrait forms the centrepiece of a major exhibi?tion of McCurry's work,which opened recently in Monza,Italy,and will run until 6 April. The famous photograph is just one of thousands of extraordinary pictures that McCurry has taken over a 40-year career during which he has won dozens of awards. For many years,frontline war photography like this was McCurry's stock-in-trade. In?deed,it enabled him to make his name.
18. What do we know about Afghan Girl ？
A. It has been influential since published.
B. It is the star of an old film.
C. It is a famous painting in a magazine.
D. It first came out in 1984.
19. How does McCurry feel about Afghan Girl ？

D. Proud.
20. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the im?pact of the picture?
A. It inspired people to do volunteer work.
B. It set off more terrorist attacks in the world.
C. People are more aware of Afghans' situation.
D. Afghan Children's Fund was set up.
21. What can we infer from the text?
