Part 5 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)
(Each item: 2)
Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
Questions 41 to 45 are based on the same passage or dialog.
Winston Churchill was one of the great men of his age. To show their respect for him, the British lawmakers asked a fine artist, Graham Sutherland, to paint Winston Churchill's picture. When it
was completed, it was presented to him, at a grand affair in the Westminster Hall, at the House of Commons (下议院).
There is a famous film that shows Churchill accepting the gift. He describes the painting as "a remarkable example of modern art", which draws loud laughter.
In fact he must have been unhappy with the painting. Sutherland later reported that he asked whether it was to be painted with a "happy" or "angry" attitude. "Angry," replied Churchill. At the time, Churchill was coming to the end of his political life and was unhappy that people wanted him to end his career.
Some twenty years later it was revealed that Lady Churchill hated the painting so much that she had it destroyed. "It was preying on (折磨) his mind," she was reported as saying.
A leading art critic was asked what he thought about the matter. He said he could understand Lady Churchill and had pity on her. Graham Sutherland was a very honest artist, who could only paint what he saw. At the time it was painted, Churchill was an old man, worried by the thought that he would have to end his political career soon. But Lady Churchill shouldn't have had the painting destroyed. It could have been stored away until after their deaths.
41. Why did the British lawmakers ask Graham Sutherland to paint a picture of Winston Churchill?
A. To show their respect for him.
B. To make Churchill happy.
C. To put it in the Westminster Hall.
D. To make Churchill unhappy.
42. Where was the painting of Winston Churchill after it was finished?
A. In Churchill's home.
B. In Churchill's office.
C. In the Westminster Hall.
D. In a busy town square.
43. What did Churchill say about the painting at the presentation?
A. He said it was not well painted.
B. He said he was unhappy with it.
C. He said it was very honest art.
D. He said it was a great piece of art.
44. Why was Churchill actually unhappy at that time?
A. Because he had to retire and put an end to his political life.
B. Because the painting did not look like him one little bit.
C. Because Lady Churchill was not happy with the painting.
D. Because he was so very sick and did not feel well at all.
