Few people would even think of beginning a new job at the age of 76, but one of America's most famous artists did just that. Anna Mary Robertson, better known as “Grandma Moses”， turned to painting because she was too old to work on her farm.
Grandma Moses painted carefully and her works were nice. She first painted only to enjoy herself，and then began to sell her works for a little money. In 1939，a collector，Louis Caldor happened to see several of Grandma Moses' works hanging in a shop. He liked them, bought them at once, and set out to look for more. Caldor held a show to introduce the works of Grandma Moses to other artists.
Grandma Moses died on December 13th, 1961, at the age of 101. She was world－famous.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12 ，a white gardenia was delivered to my house. No card came with it. Calls to the flower－shop were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender's name and just delighted in the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.
But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these imaginings. She'd ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail I'd delivered during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I had run into.
One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didn't care if I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia—lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery (神秘)．
My mother died ten days after I was married. I was 22. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.
21．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．A Mother's Love
B．A Graduation Party
C．A Special Birthday
D．A Childhood Dream
22．The mother insisted that her daughter go to the graduation dance because ________.
A．she hoped she would find a boyfriend

Life is difficult.
It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.
Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that their difficulties represent (代表) a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.
What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause in us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.
Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability (能力) to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct.” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.
24．From the passage, it can be inferred that ________.
A．everybody has problems
B．we become stronger by facing and solving the problems of life
C．life is difficult because our problems bring us pain
D．people like to complain about their problems
25．The main idea of Paragraph 3 is that ________.
A．most people feel life is easy
B．the writer feels life is easy
C．the writer likes to complain about his problems
D．most people complain about how hard their lives are
26．According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to ________.
A．encourage them to learn
B．teach them to fear the pain of solving problems
C．help them learn to deal with pain
D．teach them how to respect for problems
27．The saying from Benjamin Franklin “Those things that hurt, instruct.” suggests that ________.
A．we do not learn from experience
B．we do not learn when we are in pain
C．pain teaches us important lessons
D．pain cannot be avoided

Stepping into a pool of water is common enough, but who could ever imagine, stepping into a pool of fish? In February of 1974, Bill Tapp, an Australian farmer, saw a rain of fish that covered his farm. How surprised he must have been when he heard many fish hitting against his roof!
What caused this strange occurrence? This is a question that had long puzzled people who study fish. The answer turned out to be a combination of wind and storm.
When it is spring in the northern part of the world, it is fall in Australia. Throughout the autumn season, terrible storms arise and rains flood the land. The strong winds sweep over Australia like huge vacuum cleaners, collecting seaweed, pieces of wood, and even schools of fish. Strong winds may carry these bits of nature for many miles before vacuum dropping them on fields, houses, and astonished people.
Although they seem unusual, fishfalls occur quite frequently in Australia. When Bill Tapp was asked to describe the scene of fish, he remarked, “They look like millions of dead birds falling down.” His statement is not surprising. The wonders of the natural world are as common as rain. Nature, with its infinite wonders, can create waterfalls that flow upward and fish that fall out of the sky.
32．What is this passage mainly about?
A. A sad story.
B. A rain of fish.
C. Australia's northern part.
D. The damage done by floods.
33．Fishfalls occur in Australia ________.
A. quite often
B. on large farms
C. only in winter
D. when the air is calm

A. one should watch where one steps
B. Bill Tapp is a scientist who studies farming
C. the natural world can never create waterfalls that fall upward
D. the seasons in the southern part are different from those in the north
35．The underlined word “infinite” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.
A. easy
B. difficult
C. countless
D. dangerous

M: Yes. I am telling her I've decided to take up a part－time job as a shop assistant.
W: What do you mean? You've been working as one for nearly three months. Have you been fired by Rogers?
M: No. My mother doesn't know I have a part－time job.
W: You mean, you didn't tell her before?
M: No.
W: But why are you telling her now?
M: Now I don't want her to worry about my life here. You see, I told her that I'd just bought a car in my last letter.

M: It's almost vacation time. Have you found a summer job yet?
W: No，I don't think I will work at the boy's camp where I worked last summer. Camp jobs don't pay much.
M: I think I can find a job at the Hollywood Hotel. A friend of mine was a waiter last summer. The pay wasn't good, but the tips were.
W: My sister worked there last summer, making beds and cleaning bathrooms. She didn't like it but she earned a lot of money.
M: That sounds really good.
W: Yes. And I want a job outside. After sitting in college classes all winter, I'd like a job in the open air.
M: The high school kids earn a lot of money every summer cutting grass. My brother is only fourteen, but he gets five dollars every time he cuts the grass, and it only takes him an hour. He just rides around on the machine that he bought, and the machine does all the work.
W: That's pretty good. I used to cut grass when I was in high school. But now I think I might work for a road－building company, or do something like that.
M: It could be a good experience. And you could earn a lot, too.

Few people would even think of beginning a new job at the age of 76, but one of America's most famous artists did just that. Anna Mary Robertson, better known as “Grandma Moses”， turned to painting because she was too old to work on her farm.
Grandma Moses painted carefully and her works were nice. She first painted only to enjoy herself，and then began to sell her works for a little money. In 1939，a collector，Louis Caldor happened to see several of Grandma Moses' works hanging in a shop. He liked them, bought them at once, and set out to look for more. Caldor held a show to introduce the works of Grandma Moses to other artists.
Grandma Moses died on December 13th, 1961, at the age of 101. She was world－famous.

Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12 ，a white gardenia was delivered to my house. No card came with it. Calls to the flower－shop were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to discover the sender's name and just delighted in the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.
But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these imaginings. She'd ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail I'd delivered during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I had run into.
One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didn't care if I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia—lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery (神秘)．
My mother died ten days after I was married. I was 22. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.
21．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A．A Mother's Love
B．A Graduation Party

Life is difficult.
It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.
Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that their difficulties represent (代表) a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.
What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause in us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.
Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability (能力) to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct.” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.
24．From the passage, it can be inferred that ________.
A．everybody has problems
B．we become stronger by facing and solving the problems of life
C．life is difficult because our problems bring us pain
D．people like to complain about their problems
25．The main idea of Paragraph 3 is that ________.
A．most people feel life is easy
B．the writer feels life is easy
C．the writer likes to complain about his problems
D．most people complain about how hard their lives are
26．According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to ________.
A．encourage them to learn
B．teach them to fear the pain of solving problems
C．help them learn to deal with pain
D．teach them how to respect for problems
27．The saying from Benjamin Franklin “Those things that hurt, instruct.” suggests that ________.
A．we do not learn from experience
B．we do not learn when we are in pain
C．pain teaches us important lessons
D．pain cannot be avoided

Stepping into a pool of water is common enough, but who could ever imagine, stepping into a pool of fish? In February of 1974, Bill Tapp, an Australian farmer, saw a rain of fish that covered his farm. How surprised he must have been when he heard many fish hitting against his roof!
What caused this strange occurrence? This is a question that had long puzzled people who study fish. The answer turned out to be a combination of wind and storm.
When it is spring in the northern part of the world, it is fall in Australia. Throughout the autumn season, terrible storms arise and rains flood the land. The strong winds sweep over Australia like huge vacuum cleaners, collecting seaweed, pieces of wood, and even schools of fish. Strong winds may carry these bits of nature for many miles before vacuum dropping them on fields, houses, and astonished people.
Although they seem unusual, fishfalls occur quite frequently in Australia. When Bill Tapp was asked to describe the scene of fish, he remarked, “They look like millions of dead birds falling down.” His statement is not surprising. The wonders of the natural world are as common as rain. Nature, with its infinite wonders, can create waterfalls that flow upward and fish that fall out of the sky.
32．What is this passage mainly about?
A. A sad story.
B. A rain of fish.
C. Australia's northern part.
D. The damage done by floods.
33．Fishfalls occur in Australia ________.
A. quite often

A. one should watch where one steps
B. Bill Tapp is a scientist who studies farming
C. the natural world can never create waterfalls that fall upward
D. the seasons in the southern part are different from those in the north
