The world-famous Belgian has arrived in Britain with his equally famous dog for a five-month stay—nearly 70 years after his first visit. Tintin, the eternally youthful reporter who only was ever known to file one story in all his adventures, is celebrating his 75th birthday this year with a new exhibition at London’s National Maritime Museum.
Tintin at Sea is a collection of original drawings by Belgian cartoonist Georges Remi—more commonly known as Herge which was the French-speaking pronunciation of his reversed initial RG— and some of the artifacts and models that inspired him.
"Herge had a lifelong fascination with the sea and was above all a person who insisted on detail," the museum’s director Roy Clare told reporters at a preview of the exhibition which opens to the public on Wednesday and runs to September 5.
Tintin, with his trademark quiff and plus-four trousers, traveled all over the world on adventures that took him and his white terrier known as Snowy in English and Milou in French from Tibet to America and Iceland to Africa.
Books of his adventures have been translated into 60 languages and have sold 200 million copies since the comic strip character first saw the light of day in 1929.
Although the stories took Tintin and his irascible companion Captain Haddock as far as the moon, the sea is a recurring theme, in stories such as The Crab with the Golden Claws, Red Rackham’s Treasure and The Secrets of the Unicorn.
Herge, who only traveled widely after the success of his creation, was a self-taught artist. He stayed in Belgium through World War Two and was accused and cleared of collaboration immediately afterwards, although he suffered a period of being an exile as a result. He was also accused of racism in some of Tintin’s earlier adventures.
The reporter only once travelled to Britain, in the story The Black Isle, published in 1938. "Here you have four famous Belgians," Joren Vandeweyer, the country’s cultural attache(大使随员)to Britain, told reporters. "Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock and of course Herge himself, back after 66 years." [br] What can we learn about the exhibition in London?
选项
A、The exhibition is intended to mark Remi’s creation of Tintin.
B、Tintin at Sea is a new collection that is promoted in the exhibition.
C、Remi, the Belgian cartoonist, attends the exhibition with his dog.
D、The exhibition, which lasted five months, has just ended.
答案
A
解析
首段第2句中的celebrating his 75th birthday表明伦敦的展览是为了纪念Remi在75年前创造了Tintin这个人物的,因此选项A为正确的说法。第2段首句中的original drawings表明《丁丁历险记》并非最新创作,因此B不正确;从第1段和第4段可知,小狗的主人是漫画的主角丁丁,并非该漫画书的作者,因此C不正确;首句中的for a five-month stay表明这个展览还没开始,D与此相反,显然不正确。
