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(刺绣) pictures as a hobby，but only changed to oils in old age because her hands became too stiff(僵硬的) to sew and she still wanted to keep busy and pass the time．Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought all that she painted．Three of the pictures were exhibited(展览) 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 portrayals of the country life she had known for so long，with a wonderful sense of color and form．"I think really hard till I think of something really pretty，and then I paint it" she said．24．What does Para 2 mainly talk about?A．Moses and her childrenB．Moses and her childhoodC．An introduction to Moses’ lifeD．An introduction to Moses’ marriage25．What did Grandma Moses spent most of her life doing?A. embroideringB. paintingC. nursingD. farming26．The underlined word “portrayals ” in last paragraph means________．A. directionsB. descriptionsC. surveysD. stages27．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？A．Grandma Moses and Her Pictures．B．Grandma Moses: A Woman Pioneer of 20th centuryC．Grandma Moses and Her Exhibition．D．Grandma Moses：The Best Painter of 20th centuryCA woman was sitting by herself in a movie theatre. The movie she was about to see was a musical version (版本)of a very successful book that had sold a million copies that year.As the woman was waiting for the movie to begin, she noticed that the theatre was very crowded but the two seats next to her were empty.Suddenly a large man carrying a big fur coat walked down the aisle (走廊) and sat down, placing the fur coat on the seat next to her.When the lights went out, the fur coat began to move, and the woman realized it was not a coat but a large furry dog. He was sitting up in the seat, watching the movie screen with great interest. As soon as the movie started, the dog began to nod his head and beat his paws（爪） in perfect time to the music.When the movie was over, the woman turned to the man and said, “Excuse me, sir, but I’ve never seen such a well-behaved dog in a movie theatre before. Does he go to the movies often?”“Oh, yes,” replied the man.“And he seemed to enjoy everything so much,” she said, “It was just amazing!”“As a matter of fact, it surprised me, too,” said the man. “He hated the book!”28.

Perhaps, you hate the sound of your alarm clock （闹钟） each morning and have little energy until afternoon. If so, you're probably a “night owl”．Most people can be divided into such two groups, but what makes us this way？And is one better than the other？There are different opinions.Usually, early risers have been praised as hard-working while those who prefer to get up late are considered lazy. Most people believe the early bird catches the worm.Yet some scientists now believe “night owls” can really focus(集中) longer and produce more than early risers.Research has found that the early bird does not always get the worm. In a Belgian study, both “morning people” and “evening people” were watched during their normal asleep and awake routines(常规)．After 10 hours of being awake, the “evening people” became more alert(思维敏捷的). However, the “morning people” became sleepy and less focused. Researchers believe the reason for this difference is that night owls receive a last-minute increase from their brains. This added energy allows them to stay alert for longer periods of time.Environment, lifestyle, activities and childhood routines all may have an effect on sleeping habits, yet genetics(遗传学)may play the biggest role.It is possible to change your sleeping habits through regular bedtimes, early exercise and by avoiding midnight snacks. But if you're happy rising early or staying up late, you're probably doing what works best for your own personal body clock.32. The author introduces the subject by ________.A. telling an interesting storyB. giving different opinionsC. showing research resultsD. asking a question33. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 really mean?A. Those who get up early achieve their goals.B. Early to bed, early to rise is good for health.C. “Night owls” can focus longer than “early birds”.D. “E arly birds” are as hard-working as “n ight owls”.34. What did the researchers find in a Belgian study?A. Late risers become sleepier than early risers.B. Early risers become as focused as later risers.C. Late risers can think quickly after being awaken for 10 hours.D. Early risers can think clearly after being awake for 10 hours.35. What opinion does the author finally agree to?A. People should get up early.B. Whatever time suits you, it’s OK.C. Staying up late is good for health.D. It’s impossible to change one’s sleeping habit.第二节（共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
