     Of all the folk artists in the United States the best known of the twentieth century is certainly Grandma
Moses--Anna Mary Robertson Moses (1860-1961). She was also the most successful within her lifetime
and her work was reproduced on greeting cards and in prints. As with many folk artists, her career as a
painter started late in life, at the age of 67, but she continued painting until her death at the age of 10l, so
her active painting life still lasted over 34 years.
     Her subjects are based on the New England countryside. Many of her early paintings are copies of, or
use sections from, prints by Currier and Ives that she then recreated in her own way. In her paintings the
figures became more stylized and the landscapes less naturalistic. Her painting was preceded (优先) by the
production of landscapes in needlework. The images, however, continued the same, and she remade some
of her needlework landscapes in paint at a later date.
     From these early sources she began to compose original paintings such as Housick Falls, New York in
Winter (1944) that relied on her surroundings and her memories of country life and activities; these paintings
show her increasing technical ability. By the 1940"s her work had become a marketable commodity and
collectors created a demand for her paintings.
     Like many painters of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Grandma Moses made use of photographs
for information, for figures, for landscapes, and for buildings, but her work, especially that of her later years,
was not a simple copying of these but compositions using them as source material. Her output was amazing,
and consequently her work is of varying quality. Her paintings place her among the top folk painters of the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
1. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. The painting materials used by Grandma Moses.
B. The major artistic influences on Grandma Moses.
C. The folk art of Grandma Moses.
D. The life of Grandma Moses.
2. According to the passage, Grandma Moses started her painting career ____.
A. without much success
B. in her sixties
C. after much study
D. by producing greeting cards
3. Why does the author mention Currier and Ives in the second paragraph?
A. They are folk artists.
B. They collected many of Grandma Moses" paintings.
C. They made calendars from Grandma Moses" landscapes.
D. Grandma Moses based some paintings on their work.
4. According to the passage, Grandma Moses switched (转变) from needlework to painting because of ____.
A. her desire to create landscapes
B. the public"s interest in painting
C. her need to make money
D. a physical condition that affected her

     Mary Somerville was born in 1780 in Burntisland, Scotland. Her contribution to mathematics was in both
algebra (代数) and differential and integral calculus (微积分学).
     Mary was one of the world"s first famous female mathematicians. She became interested in mathematics
and decided to study it at the time when it was considered unacceptable for a woman to do so. She bought
books on algebra and geometry and read them at night. In spite of disapproval from people around her, she
firmly went on with her struggle to learn. She won a prize for her solution to an algebra problem. She went
on to write several books on mathematics. Later in her life, she thought deeply about the years in which she
had persevered (坚持) almost without hope and said, "It taught me never to lose heart."
     Mary"s way of learning remains useful today. If she worked for a while on a problem without coming up
with an idea, she stopped working and turned her attention to the piano, her needlework, or a walk outdoors.
She then returned to the problem with a fresh mind and a solution turned up. If she could not understand a
passage while reading, she would forget about it and read on; several pages later, the meaning of the puzzling
passage would become clear to her.
1. Why did Mary decide to study math?
A. Because she found math interesting and wanted to study it.
B. Because she was one of the world"s first famous female mathematicians.
C. Because it was not considered acceptable for a woman to study math.
D. Because she was bored and had nothing to do.
2. What does the underlined word "disapproval" in Paragraph 2 mean in this text?
A. Disagreement.
B. Agreement.
C. Support.
D. Discovery.
3. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. Mary could solve any difficult math problem easily.
B. Mary was, without doubt, a famous female mathematician.
C. Mary had some useful ways to deal with difficulties in her work.
D. Mary"s ways to overcome difficulties were not effective.
4. According to the passage, if you have been puzzled by a math problem, you"d better ____.
A. keep working on it until it is solved

     Jeanne Calment, a French woman, became a record breaker on 17 October of 1995, when at the age of
120 years and 238 days, she became the longest-lived human being on record. A Japanese man died in 1986
at the age of 120 years and 237 days.
     Jeanne Calment lives in a small old people"s home in the south of France; her husband, her only child and
her grandson have all died. She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describe
s her as being more like a 90-year-old in good health than someone of 120. She still has a lively sense of humor. When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied: A very short one. She also
remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her.
     So what is the key to a long life? According to some doctors, diet, exercise and no smoking are the three
important factors. Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips. She has always eaten a healthy diet, and she
used to do exercises every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115. However, until recently she drank two
glasses of strong red wine a day, and she does smoke(now only a little). Besides, Jeanne Calment might have
got very good genes (基因) from her parents. Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86.
      A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money
every year until her death. It must have seemed a good move at the time, but so far the lawyer has paid her at
least three times the value of the house. Every year on her birthday Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying:
Sorry, I"m still alive!
1. How does Jeanne Calment feel about her old age?
A. She is miserable and unhappy.
B. She is cheerful and humorous.
C. She would like to live much longer.
D. She feels she is going to die very soon.
2. Jeanne Calment owes her good health and long life to ______.
A. smoking only a little every day
B. her giving up smoking and drinking
C. drinking two glasses of strong red wine every day
D. the good genes from her parents, a healthy diet and some exercises
3. Which of the following could best replace the word "move" in the fourth paragraph?
A. deal
B. trick
C. march
D. sport
4. Why does Jeanne Calment say" Sorry, I"m still alive" to the local lawyer every year on her birthday?
A. Because she had an agreement at 80 with the lawyer which was to her advantage.
B. Because she has asked the lawyer to pay her more rent than they first agreed.
C. Because the lawyer has paid her much more money than the value of the house.
D. Because the house she sold to the lawyer isn"t worth the money he has already paid.
