BCommunity.CSchool.DSociety.C解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“both have a place in the pantheon of 20thcentury Mexican artists”以及“thus confirming his place in history as the founder of the nationalist school”可知，pantheon的意思接近school，表示“流派”。3. What can we infer about Rivera from the passage?ARivera broke up with Kahlo finally.BRiveras works are popular in Europe.CRiveras works are the focus of the exhibition.DRivera had his works rooted in his motherland.D解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“His travels throughout Europe influenced his vision and his skills without ever distancing him from his roots”可知，Rivera的欧洲之旅影响了他的视野和技艺，但并未让他疏远自己的根。再根据最后一段中的“It also gives us a better view of their respective artistic worlds, so different and yet so complementary(互补的), through the deeprootedattachment they shared to their country.”可知，Rivera将自己对祖国的根深蒂固的依恋反映在作品里。4. Why does the author write the passage?ATo praise the celebrities.BTo introduce two famous artists.CTo make an announcement.DTo encourage people to learn art.B解析：写作目的题。根据最后一段中的“The exhibition devoted to the legendary couple Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo presents their works together”以及“It also gives us a better view of their respective artistic worlds”可知这次画展的目的，同时也暗示作者写这篇文章的用意就是介绍两位艺术家的作品及其传奇人生。CKid Presidents: True Tales of Childhood from Americas PresidentsBy David Stabler ISBN 9780062358684 Type: Historical nonfictionIn the 20 stories of 20 different U.S. presidents in this book, we learn that our countrys leaders are not so different from us.
