解析

1. D 细节题的考查。根据But Grandma Moses is different She starts a new job at the age of 76可知她在76岁开始新的工作不同于他人,故选D。
2. C 事实询问题。根据Mary Moses is 70, and is a grandmother. She begins to paint pictures可知她在70岁开始画画,故选C。
3. A 根据A man from New York sees the paintings in the window and buys them可知通过她女儿之手,她的画被一个男人买走了,故选A。
4. C 主旨题的考查。文章开始说很多人年老时就休息和放松,进而说到其祖母76开始新的工作,后面讲到她七十画画并成名,告诉我们就是学习永远也不会老,故选C,而A,B,D与文章事实不合。
5. B 文章主要讲的是祖母和画画的故事,故B最合适,其它三个方面只是文章的一个方面,不能全面概况全文。
