music in 2001,I have spent a good deal of time painting as an artist.I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died,so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father,or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him.In any case,I drew pen-and-ink animals and landscapes(风景画)much influenced(影响)by Krenkel and St.John for five years.For some strange reason,I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolours again,but as soon as I walked out of the school door for the last time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth,who quickly became my favourite artist.I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves and found his watercolours to be the closest to how I thought good watercolours should look.So I painted landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many other types of painting.However,watercolours remained my first choice,and I think I did my best,showing my paintings at a number of art exhibitions.Art is now together with my piano playing and reading.There is a time for everything in my world,and it is wonderful to have some time doing what I want to do.As Confucius once said,“At seventy I can follow my hearts desire.”1.What is the text mainly about?A.Learning to paint in later life.B.How to paint watercolours.C.An artist-turned teacher.D.Life after retirement.答案D解析主旨大意题。文章第一句“Since my retirement(退休)from teaching music in 2001,I have spent a good deal of time painting as an artist.”讲述作者退休后的生活,最后一段还提及自己的“.piano playing and

can infer from the text that the author .A.had been taught by Krenkel and St.JohnB.painted landscapes in Minnesota for 5 yearsC.believed Wyeth to be the best in watercoloursD.started his retirement life at the age of seventy答案C解析推理判断题。从文中第一段最后一句可知A项错误;从第二段第三句判断B项错误;从第二段第二句可知C项正确;D项文中没有涉及。4.How does the author probably feel about his life as an artist?A.Very enjoyable.B.A bit regretful.C.Rather busy.D.Fairly dull.答案A解析推理判断题。从文中描述可知,作者退休后的生活忙碌而充实,并且有时间做自己想做的事,故A项正确。四、七选五(思维品质)Everybody in this world is different from one another.But do you know that understanding differences can help you
