Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States,
yet she had only just begun painting in her late seventies. As she once said of herself: “I would
never sit back in a rocking-chair, waiting for someone to help me.”
She was born on a farm in New York State. At twelve she left home and was in a service until
at twenty-seven, she married Thomas Moses, the tenant of hers. They farmed most of their
lives. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1928.
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby, but
only changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to
keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at an exhibition, and were soon noticed
by a businessman who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures were shown in the
Museum of Modern Art , and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the
1930‘s and her death she produced some 2,000 pictures: careful and lively pictures of the country
life she had known, with a wonderful sense of color and form.

A. Grandma Moses

B
In the fall of 1924 Thomas Wolfe, fresh from his courses in play writing at Harvard joined
the eight or ten of us who were teaching English composition in New York University. I had never
before seen a man so tall as he, and so ugly. I pitied him and went out of my way to help him
with his work and make him feel at home.
His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness. They spoke of his
ability to explain a poem in such a manner as to have them shouting with laughter or struggling to
keep back their tears, of his readiness to quote in detail from any poet they could name.
Indeed, his students made so much of his power of observation that I decided to make a little
test and see for myself. My chance came one morning when the students were slowly gathering for
nine o‘clock classes.
Upon arriving at the university that day, I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served
all the English composition teachers as an office. He did not say anything when I asked him to
come with me out into the hall, and he only smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told
him to enter alone and look around.
He stepped in, remained no more than thirty seconds and then came out. “Tell me what you
see.” I said as I took his place in the room , leaving him in the hall with his back to the door.
Without the least hesitation and without a single error, he gave the number of seats in the room,
pointed out those which were taken by boys and those occupied by girls, named the colors each
student was wearing, pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard, spoke of the chalk
marks which the cleaner had failed to wash from the floor, and pictured in detail the view of
Washington Square from the window.
As I rejoined Wolfe, I was speechless with surprise. He, on the contrary, was wholly
calm as he said, “The worst thing about it is that I‘ll remember it all.”
( )45. What is the passage mainly discussing?
A. Thomas Wolfe‘s teaching work.
B. Thomas Wolfe‘s course in playwriting.
C. Thomas Wolfe‘s ability of explaining.
D. Thomas Wolfe‘s genius.
( )46. Which of the following is NOT said in the passage?
A. Wolfe‘s students praised Wolfe’s power of observation.
B. The author made an experiment on Wolfe‘s ability.
C. Wolfe‘s students asked the author to have a test of their ability.
D. Wolfe did not feel angry when he was tested.
( )47. What do we learn about Wolfe from the passage?
A. He tried hard to remember what was in the classroom.
B. He stayed in the classroom for a short time.
C. He stayed drew a picture of Washington Square.
D. He followed the author into the classroom.
( )48. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The author was happy to see the test result.
B. What the students said was hardly true.
C. Wolfe would remember forever what the author had done.
D. Wolfe felt joyful after he had been tested.

The trick in food photography is to show the food looking fresh , so many dishes have
stand-ins, just as movie stars do. “When I get my lights and cameras set up, I remove the
stand-in and put in the real thing,” explains Ray Webber, who photographs food for magazine
advertisements. “Sometimes I have to brush the meat with its juices because it may have dried out a
bit. A and when I‘m shooting (拍照) something like tomatoes, I always carry water to spray them
with dew just before I shoot.”
Shooting food outdoors has special problems. “I‘m always worrying about flies or worms
crawling up a glass,” Webber explains, “my worry is that someday a dog will come up from
behind and run off with the food.” Once Webber was shooting a piece of cheese outdoors and
needed something to make its color beautiful. Finally he found it: a weed with lovely blue flowers.
When the shot appeared, several people were horrified-the weed was deadly nightshade!
( )49. Just before being photographed, some meats and vegetables are _______.
A. fanned B. dyed C. frozen D. made wet
( )50. The second paragraph deals mostly with the ________.
A. differences between indoor and outdoor photography
B. problems of outdoor food photography
C. ways of keeping food fresh outdoors
D. combinations of colors outdoors
( )51. Webber is afraid dogs might _______.
A. bark while he is shooting B. get into his picture
C. steal the food D. upset his camera
( )52. From the article we can conclude that deadly night-shade is probably a kind of plant that
is _______.
A. colorful B. poisonous C. ugly D. Both A and B.
D
