太原五中2015-2016学年度第一学期高 二 英 语 出题、校对： 宋向军（考试时间2016）. 阅读理解 (共两节满分0分) 第一节 (共小题；每小题2分0分) A Described as a child Picasso by the Indian media, five-year-old Shorya hit the headlines last month when Indias most famous cartoonist, RK Laxman, took him under his wing by welcoming the young talented artist into his home. His father, Aditya says, he was so impressed that he suggested the pair put on an exhibition together in Mumbai next month. Dressed in his painting trousers, cartoon-themed shoes and collarless shirt, Shorya set to work. Like all the greats, he has assistants to do the boring work – his older sisters, and one of his dads servants. Crouched(蹲伏) down on a plastic mat, he surveyed his painting tools and told his assistants which paints to open. His hands are too little to handle the lids, explained his proud father, who organized his first exhibition last year at Mumbais Taj hotel. After choosing an autumn colors of browns and oranges, Shorya demanded the biggest paintbrush be passed to him, and swept it over the canvas(画布) as if his painting were an orchestra under his conduction. Shoryas teachers agree he has a special talent, but add that it is the enthusiasm with which Aditya was encouraging his sons creativity that they found particularly touching. He said he would love his son to become a successful artist, raising India’s reputation in the global art world. It didnt matter if Shorya remained a penniless artist for years, Aditya insisted. I will support him for as long as I can. He says his next task is to get Shorya gallery representation, giving him a channel to present his works to the world. 1.
