Theophile looked sad and dreamy, and didnt talk with anybody else, which brought me back to the past.A long time ago,

2、 Francois Millet, Claude, Carl and I were young artistsvery young artistsin fact.Yes, Francois Millet, the great French artist, was my friend.Millet wasnt any greater than we were at that time. He didnt have any fame, even in his own village. We were all poor though we had stacks and stacks of as go

3、od pictures as anybody in Europe painted. Once a person ever offered four francs* for Millets “Angelus”, which he intended to sell for eight.It was a fact in human history that a great artist would never be acknowledged* until after he was starved and dead. His pictures climbed to high prices after

4、his death.Then we made a decision that one of us must die, to save the others and himself.Millet was elected*elected to die.During the next three months, Millet painted with all his might, enlarged his stock all he could, not pictures, no! sketches, studies, parts of studies, fragments of studies, o

5、f course, with his cipher* on them. They were the things to be sold.Carl went to Paris to start the work of building up Millets name. Claude and I went to sell Millets small pictures and to build up his name as well.We made Millet a master. I always said to my customer, “I am a fool to sell a pictur

6、e of Francois Millets at all, for he is not going to live three months, and when he dies his pictures cant be had for love or money.” Claude and I took care to spread that little fact as far as we could.Carl made friends with the correspondents, and got Millets condition reported to England and all

7、over the continent, and America, and everywhere.The sad end came at last, Millet died, not really. He became Theophile Magnan.The pictures went up. Theres a man in Paris today who owns seventy Millet pictures. He paid us two million francs for them. Do you still remember the “Angelus”? Carl sold it

8、for twenty-two hundred francs. And as for the bushels of sketches and studies which Millet produced in the last six weeks, well, it would astonish you to know the figure we sell them at nowadays.We are no longer artists and Millet dead.1.Why did the four friends decide to elect one of them to die?A.

9、They wanted to be rich.B.They wanted to be famous.C.They wanted to save money.D.They wanted to be respected.2.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the passage?A.The writer lives a busy life in Mentone.B.Millet was finally made a famous artist.C.Millet painted best among the four friends.D

11、.4.Is Millet living or dead? Why?(请用约40词回答) 1. 【参考答案】A【解析】细节理解题。由第四至第六段可知四人非常贫困。只有艺术家饿死后,才华才能被承认,作品的价格才会攀升,因此他们决定一个人必须“死亡”,来拯救自己和其他人,因此可知选出一人去“死”的原因就是想致富。由此可知本题选择A。2. 【参考答案】B【解析】细节理解题。A项的busy与原文第一句中的restful不符;B项符合原文;由第四段第一句可知C项错误;D项表示“故事是为纪念Millet而写”,事实上,Millet并没有死去。由此可知本题选择B。3. 【参考答案】D【解析】推理判断题。A项“

12、他们不想再当艺术家了”文中没有提及;B项表示“Millet的画作以极高价出售”,原文中Millet在“未死”之前,画作不值钱,曾有人花4法郎买画,因此B项与原文不符;C项“人们对即将饿死的艺术家的态度”文中没有提及;D项“人们对以低价获得珍贵的艺术品的欲望”符合原文的表述。4.【参考答案】Millet is alive. In order to sell his pictures at high prices, he pretended to be dead. He continues to live in the world with a new name Theophile Magnan.

13、(30词)Millet is dead. There is no famous artist called Millet living in the world any longer. He only lives in peoples memory. Everything related to the artist Millet has become history.(31词)Millet is alive. He just pretended to be dead and took a new name Theophile Magnan. To some extent, he is dead

14、. There is no famous artist called Millet living in the world any longer. Everything related to the artist Millet has become history.(45词)【解析】文中作为画家的Millet在民众眼中已经死去。他隐姓埋名,以Theophile Magnan的名字,苟活于世间;他既不敢让民众知道他的过去,也不敢做他喜欢的事情;他虽富有,却不快乐。他神情忧伤、恍惚。他活着,他也死了。二Both of my parents worked full-time when I was a
