17、kes of herself, but her work is not autobiographical. Coveted by collectors and extolled by critics, her images explore raw human emotion and common artificewithout revealing who she really is.A retrospective at the Museum of Modem Art (MoMA) in New York demonstrates that although the 58-year-old Am

18、erican may be her own model, she is not her own muse. Her ninth-floor Manhattan studio also offers clues. Pinned to the walls are magazine cuttings and computer printouts of people in what she calls “preposterous“ positions: society ladies in ball gowns making breakfast, actresses who are completely

19、 naked except for a designer handbag and costume jewellery. She keeps her props in meticulously organised cupboardsmulticoloured wigs, prosthetic noses, false boobs and funny clothes. An orange plastic chest of drawers holds loads of make-up; nearby is the giant track pad she uses to do her post-pro

20、duction digital work. It is here that Ms Sherman mutates into the objects of her fascination.Why does the photographer appear in most of her work? One reason is shyness. Disguises can be liberating and delegating can be arduous; she tried hiring models once, but found she hated it. Ms Sherman enjoys

21、 working alone and doing everything herself. She has also experimented with still lives in which she does not appear. These images appeal to her hard-core fans but they lack the life, literally, of her other work. They are also hard to sell. When collectors buy a Sherman photograph, they want her. L

22、ast year one of the 1981 “Centrefold“ series (pictured) made $3.9m, then a record for a photograph at auction. Bemused by how much collectors want her in the frame, the artist mimics a male voice: “Is she behind that mask? I only want it if she is in there!“Unlike many of her male peers who have jum

23、ped ship to bigger galleries, Ms Sherman has stayed loyal to her original dealersMetro Pictures, the New York gallery that presented her first solo show in 1979, and Sprth Magers, which has represented her in Europe since 1984. Neither gallery puts pressure on her; they let her get on with her work

24、at her own pace. As a result, she does not overproduce or aimlessly repeat herself.Ms Sherman broke into the art world with “Untitled Film Stills“, a series of 69 black-and-white images that were taken in the late 1970s. A fictional archive of publicity shots in which she poses as characters in film

25、s from the 1950s and 1960s, the work was an immediate hit. Its exploration of media culture took Pop Art beyond celebratory consumerism into a more critical vein. And its satire of female stereotypes was subtly feministso subtle, in fact, that a feminist art historian advised the young Ms Sherman to

26、 superimpose text on the works to bring out the irony.Ambiguity is a characteristic of Ms Shermans work. One is never quite sure where the artist stands in relation to her characters, and they in turn are often difficult to define. The “Centrefold“ series of 12 colour photos in which the artist shot

27、 herself from above with fearful or pensive expressions added a layer of anxiety to the uncertainty.Among Ms Shermans most celebrated later works are her “Clowns“, which were shot in 2003 and 2004. Eva Respini, who has curated the MoMA show, believes that the clown is a “stand-in“ for the artist. In

28、 one picture, the name Cindy is embroidered on the jacket of a heavily made-up clown with prosthetic cheeks and nose. It is typical of Ms Shermans style that she would be disguised beyond all recognition, looking sad and ugly, in a work that flirts with self-portraiture.Indeed, looking over all the

29、photographs, it is interesting to see how the artist has aged gracefully in real life but intriguingly badly in her fictions. In 2007 French Vogue commissioned her to do a series of six photographs in which she transformed herself into desperate middle-aged fashion victims dressed in Balenciaga. The

30、se pictures led to “The Socialites“ in which she depicted herself as older women whose multimillionaire husbands, one suspects, have cast them off for younger versions. Their dignity in the face of faded glamour reveals both the empathy and brutality of the artists eye.Ms Sherman is a kind of actor-

31、director of still pictures who delves into the representation of womenand occasionally menin Western society. Back in the 1970s, when she first embarked on this artistic path, few would have predicted that she could make so many compelling bodies of work through depicting herself. But much like a ch

32、aracter actor who takes pleasure in nailing a bit part, Ms Sherman takes a detailed interest in others while mastering the art of making it up. (From The Economist; 805 words)（分数：6.00）(1).What does “muse“ most likely mean in the 2nd paragraph?A. Inspiration. B. idol.C. Admirer. D. Master.（分数：1.00）A.

33、B.C.D.(2).Which of the following is NOT a reason that Ms Sherman takes photos of herself?A. Her own photographs are easy to sell.B. She hates working with other models.C. She enjoys doing everything herself.D. Other models are short of spirits.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).What is most probably the reason th

34、at Ms Sherman hasnt changed dealers?A. Because they are based in New York.B. Because they have been presenting her for years.C. Because they have given her freedom for artistic creation.D. Because they are her original dealers.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).What can be learned about “Untitled Film Stills“ acc

35、ording to the passage?A. It includes photos of celebrities in the 1950s and 1960s.B. It is an example of Pop art of 1970s.C. It is subtly sarcastic of feminism.D. It brought Ms Sherman immediate success in the art world.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(5).What does the sentence “.the clown is a stand-in for the ar

36、tist“ mean?A. The picture is representative of Ms Shermans art.B. The clown takes the role of the artiest.C. The clown is identical with Ms Sherman.D. The clown is typical of Ms Shermans character.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(6).What can be learned from the last but one paragraph?A. Its difficult to see the tr

37、aces of time on the face of Ms Sherman.B. Ms Sherman poses as older women in her works as she advances in age in real life.C. The characters in Ms Shermans works are not dignified.D. Ms. Sherman is short of elegance in her works.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.七、TEXT B(总题数：1，分数：4.00)Chris, I have something to tell

38、 you. Yesterday, a woman conducting a survey called the house. You know I usually dont do those thingsnot unless Im feeling especially guilty that daybut then she mentioned not having to commute.You see, this was the choice the survey offered me, as I understood it: I could continue to take a forty-

39、seven-minute train ride (or a thirty-eight-minute ferry fide) and a twelve-minute subway ride to and from work every day while remaining your wife, or I could work from home and cease to be married to you. I have chosen the latter.You probably have a few questions, as I did. For example, will this h

40、ome be our home, where you also live? Given the fact that we will no longer be husband and wife, this is a complication. I asked the surveyor this question, but she had already moved on to “Would you give up manicures if it meant you didnt have to commute?“ (No.)You may be confused, or perturbed. Th

41、is I understand. I had my doubts, too. Not long after I said I would divorce you to work from home, I wondered if the surveyors would be providing me with some sort of alternate home or, ideally, divorce-litigation fees. On these matters, too, my surveyor was mute.And if you refuse to grant me a div

42、orce? I also queried the surveyor about whether a mere separation would be sufficient to guarantee me a commute-free existence, but by then, it seemed, I was taking up her timeher very important surveyor timeand she had to get off the phone.I am unsure if you will be allowed to remain in our house;

43、the survey was murky on this point. Can we still speak to each other? Will I still make roasted veggie-meatie for the Franks on Thursdays? I know this is difficult for everyone. Will you be working from home, too? With regard to that last onecmon, Chris, its important to be realistic here.Perhaps yo

44、u are wondering what will happen to our children. Will they be able to remain in their childhood home, likely my new office? Again, Im still pretty unclear on this whole thing, but Id guess no. If we have to separate physically, its better that they move in with youyou make the mac and cheese they l

45、ike.Having the entire house to myself does bring up some annoying considerations, such as choosing which room I will work in. I suspect Ill alternate. If you like, Chris, I will use our lovely master bedroom only for the most important of conference calls. Our daughters room will be for Mondays; the

46、 light will cheer me.I became a bit concerned when Todd called this morning asking why I wasnt at the office. Apparently, the surveyors have yet to make arrangements with my employers for me to work from home, but perhaps they are waiting for the divorce papers to be signed. It does make me question

47、 the binding nature of my answer, though. Maybe we dont have to end our marriage, simply because I answered “Yes“ on a survey conducted by a company called TeamVision? But of course we do. Dont be silly, Chris.You may find comfort, in this unfortunate circumstance, in the fact that TeamVision is a p

48、opular company that provides software for remote and online meetings, and that by participating in its survey I have helped confirm the strong future of telecommuting.Darling, I really did love you. When the survey asked if I would bike to work in exchange for you, I said, “What kind of bike?“ And t

49、hen, “Absolutely not.“ Ill see you at the office. (From New Yorker; 619 words)（分数：4.00）(1).What is the womans attitude towards commuting to and from work?A. She hates it so much that she would give up manicure to be free from it.B. She is fed up with it.C. She doesnt care about it.D. She loves it if she could spe
