   Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States, yet she did not start painting until she was 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.” No one could have had a more productive old age.

    She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. At twelve she left home and was in domestic(家庭的) service until, at twenty-seven, she married Thomas Moses, the hired hand of one of her employers. They farmed most of their lives, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived; her husband died in 1927.

    Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery(刺繡) pictures as a hobby, but only changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff(硬的) to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at a local market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930s and her death she produced some 2,000 pictures: detailed and lively portrayals(描繪) of the country life she had known for so long, with a wonderful sense of colour and form. “I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it.” she said.

According to the passage, Grandma Moses began to paint because she wanted to      .

   A. make herself beautiful               B. keep active

   C. earn more money                   D. become famous

The underlined word “survived” means      .

   A. graduated from college               B. examined the condition of the house

   C. lived longer than the other children      D. gave up themselves to the police

From Grandma Moses’ description of herself in the first paragraph, it can be inferred that she was      .

   A. independent     B. pretty     C. rich     D. nervous

Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

   A. Grandma Moses: Her Life and Pictures.    B. The Children of Grandma Moses.

   C. Grandma Moses: Her Best Exhibition.    D. Grandma Moses and Other Older Artists.

There are many sorts of spies. There are those employed by governments to protect their countries’ interests; there are those we find in fiction and film, like the famous James Bond; and then there are the spies of the business world. But now there is a new form of espionage (間諜): sports spying. It may be a profitable job – if the spy can find a buyer for the information.

    Last week, British newspapers reported that the England national team had been secretly recorded by an unknown group of individuals.

    Media suggested that bugs had picked up a discussion of team tactics (戰(zhàn)術(shù)), as well as playful talk about athletes’ affairs and possible rewards for players if they manage to win the World Cup.

    England officials immediately filed a suit to stop media from publishing the contents of the recordings. Little is known about the identities of the spies, but authorities doubt they have any connection to rival sides preparing for this summer’s competition in South Africa. Rather, it appears that the people who bugged the hotel meeting room are just after money. If they find the right buyer, they could get a lot of it.

    Gambling in major sports, like football, involves much more than picking the winner of a particular match. People can also place bets on starting line-ups, the timing of substitutions and goals scored. Knowing a team’s tactics for a particular game, or for a series of games, can help gamblers to increase their chances of winning big money.

    England manager Fabio Capello tried to play down the importance of game tactics. He argued that a team’s psychological preparation is the most vital. “It’s more important to train the mind, to find confidence, create a group and a winning mentality,” he said.

    Perhaps of more interest to the casual fan are the discussions of the players’ relationships with wives and girlfriends. UK newspapers may be prevented from publishing the details, but some Britons might say, the chances of the recordings never being heard are about as good as those of England winning this year’s competition: slim to none.

We may know from the first paragraph that ______________.

A. the spies mentioned are all pursuing money

B. all the spies are employed by the government

C. James Bond belongs to spies of the business world

D. if a sport spy can find a buyer, he can make money

B. Many people will never hear the recordings.

C. A fan will be more interested in the players’ relationships with wives and girlfriends.

D. No one can get any information from the UK newspapers for ever.
