第16题：

DemetriuswasateenagerborninNewYork.

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Notmentioned

参考答案：C

文章的第1段提到“sincea17-year-oldcalledDemetriusstartedspraying

histag,TAKI183,allovertheNewYorkundergroundn,由此可以得知他

是一名青少年，但是没有证据显示他来自于纽约，因此该语句在文中没有提到。

第17题：

ThegraffitischemeinRochdalewasforteenagersonly.

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Notmentioned

参考答案：B

第2段中间一1句"Theschemestartedin2000,andhasattractedpeopleof

allagegroupsandbothsexes.v可以看出，这一计划是针对所有年龄的人

B.Wrong

C.Notmentioned

第19题：

Sincetheschemestarted,newwallinthetownweresprayedwithgraffiti.

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Notmentioned

作品的场所，在居民的私人财产上涂鸦的现象有所下降。很显然不可能有新的墙

壁被乱涂乱画。

thanTemper.

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Notmentioned

参考答案：A

本题给出的信息正确。从第3段第4句“at12yearsold,Temperstarted

old",可知泰普12岁时和其他艺术家一起开始绘画，他们大约比他大十岁。

第21题：

Temper,astreetartist,isnowheadofgraffiticlubinEngland.

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Notmentioned

参考答案：B

文中最后一段提到作为一名涂鸦艺术家，泰普敬佩并喜欢上了英国

Wolvehampicn的艺术家们。并没有说他现在是涂鸦俱乐部的负责人。

第22题：

A.Right

B.Wrong

C.Notmentioned

参考答案：A

文中最后一段提到"Thewholehip-hopscenewasbuiltupofdifferentthings
