The history ofpop art begins with abstract art. Pop art emerged from the foundation of abstract art in the 1950s, first gaining recognition in Great Britain, then establishing itself in the United States in the 1960s.
In the 1930s and 1940s, abstract art was greatly popular, but people began to hate this art form. Most abstract art produced in this era could be found in art galleries or the homes of the elite(名流), not in the homes of everyday people. Pop art sprung onto the scene as the people's art.
Some art critics say pop art is a rebellion against abstract art; others say it is an extension of abstract art. You can see elements of abstract art in many pop art prints, especially those that consist of a collage(拼贴画)of images. However, some pop art pieces have nothing to do with abstract art, looking more like a photo of a popular consumer item, which impressed people deeply.
Richard Hamilton and Eduardo Paolozzi were two of the first contemporary pop art pioneers recognised in Great Britain. They were a part of the Independent Group, an organised group of British artists who wanted to challenge ruling modernist approaches to culture. They recognised the value of modern advertising and comic book images. They used these popular images in art as a social commentary, often building irony and humour into their artworks, thus creating a new form of art. These pieces were mass-produced and sold at affordable prices.
When pop art took off in the United States, it expanded to include a celebration of kitsch and the common images found in movies and television. Andy Wharhol is perhaps the most famous American pop art artist, known for his prints of the actress Marilyn Monroe, the singer Elvis Presley and of Campbell's soup cans. Andy Wharhol was inspired by images from advertisements and common consumer items. He also made a series of paintings which showed images of car accidents. 1. Why did people dislike abstract art?
A. People found it hard to understand. B. Ordinary people couldn't afford it. C. People disliked enjoying it in galleries. D. It wasn't based on everyday life. 2. What impression do pop art works leave on people?
A. They are a rebellion against abstract art. B. They have many elements of abstract art. C. They are created so real. D. They are products of advertisers.
3. The Independent Group was set up to ________.
A. introduce a new art form to the world B. develop modern advertising further C. create new comic book images D. make British culture better known

\"Sorry, but I don't agree with you...\"This is usually followed by unbearable silence and angry tears. I've always found it difficult to disagree with someone, because I don't want to lose a friend. I've found it even harder to accept it when someone disagrees with me, because my ego(自尊心)ishurt.
Before the other person gets a chance to explain why she disagrees with me, my usual response would be,\" If you aren't able to see my point of view, then what you think isn't worth my time or consideration, either.\" But now I've come to realize that when a friend disagrees with me, sometimes she is simply saying, \"I don't agree with the way things are done.\" She still respects me as a person, and is only pointing out a better way to look at a matter. However, there may be times when my friend disagrees with me because I'm against the truth. That's when need to listen to what she says.
I've learned that one way to help my friend is for me to be open and honest with the other to voice my thoughts and listen to the other carefully. While we can't control how a person will respond to our views, we must learn to disagree with our friends in love. We will never feel that we are better than the other person.And that will help us to be less emotional, and more objective in the way we express our opinions.In the same way, we can also stay open to feedback(反馈)from others,knowing that our friends may be correcting us in love.
Good friendships build each other up, sometimes through disagreements and honest opinions. Though I don't like being disagreed with, I'm starting to see the value of such disagreements.

Move over, helicopter parents. “Snowplow (扫雪机) parents” are the newest reflection of an intensive (强化的) parenting style that can include parents booking their adult children haircuts, texting their college kids to wake them up so they don’t sleep through a test, and even calling their kids’ employers.
Helicopter parenting the practice of wandering anxiously near one’s children, monitoring their every activity, is so 20th century. Some rich mothers and fathers now are more like snowplows: machines moving ahead, clearing any difficulties in their children’s path to success, so they don’t have to suffer failure, frustration (挫折) or lose opportunities.
It starts early, when parents get on wait lists for excellent preschools before their babies are born and try to make sure their kids never do anything that may frustrate them. It gets more intense when school starts: running forgotten homework to school or calling a coach to request that their children make the team.
Rich parents may have more time and money to devote to making sure their children don’t ever meet with failure, but it’s not only rich parents practicing snowplow parenting. This intensive parenting has become the most welcome way to raise children, regardless of income, education, or race.
Yes, it’s a parent’s job to support the children, and to use their adult wisdom to prepare for the future when their children aren’t mature enough to do so. That’s why parents hide certain toys from babies to avoid getting angry or take away a teenager’s car keys until he finishes his college applications.
But snowplow parents can take it too far, some experts say. If children have never faced a difficulty, what
happens when they get into the real world?
“Solving problems, taking risks and overcoming frustration are key life skills,” many child development experts say, “and if parents don’t let their children experience failure, the children don’t acquire them.” 12. What do we know about snowplow parenting? A. It appeared before helicopter parenting. B. It costs parents less than helicopter parenting. C. It was a typical phenomenon of the 20th century. D. It provides more than enough services for children.
13. What is mainly discussed about snowplow parenting in Paragraph 4?
A. Its cost. B. Its benefits. C. Its popularity. D. Its ending. 14. Why does the author mention parents’ taking away car keys? A. To show teenagers are no better than babies. B. To advise teenagers not to treat their cars as toys. C. To advise parents not to buy cars for their teenagers. D. To show it’s appropriate to help children when necessary.
15. What’s the possible result of snowplow parenting according to the experts? A. Children lacking problem-solving ability in reality. B. Children mastering more key life skills than parents. C. Children gaining great success in every aspect of life. D. Children meeting no problems or frustration after growing up. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
