decide whether
the following statements are
True or False.
Questions 1 to 5 are based on
the same passage or dialog.
Time limitation: 4
minutes and 46 seconds
Grandma Moses is among
the most celebrated twentieth-century
painters
of the United States, yet she barely started
painting before
she was in her late seventies.
She once said of herself,
never sit
back in my rocking chair, waiting for someone to
help me.
No one could have done more in 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 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
绣) pictures as a
hobby, but only changed to oils in her old age
because her hands had become too stiff (僵硬) to
sew and she
wanted to keep busy to pass the
time. Her pictures were first sold at
the
local drugstore and at a fair, and were soon
spotted by a dealer
who bought everything she
painted. Three of the pictures were
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 2000
pictures: detailed and lively portrayals (描绘)
of the rural (乡村) life
she had known for so
long, with a marvelous sense of color and
form.

Part 6 Reading Comprehension (Multiple
Choice)
(每小题：2 分)
Directions: Read
the following passages carefully and choose
the best answer from the four choices marked
A, B, C and D.
Questions 1 to 5 are based on
the same passage or dialog.
Much as Americans
admire George Washington, the greatest of all
American heroes is certainly Abraham Lincoln.
Why? Basic to the
American philosophy is the
idea that an individual with ability,
perseverance (韧劲), and human goodness can
achieve success
no matter how simple and poor
his beginnings. Lincoln is a perfect
example
of the self-made man.
Lincoln was born on
February 12, 1809 in a small house in
Kentucky. His parents were uneducated and
poor. Although Lincoln
eventually became a
lawyer, he had very little formal schooling. But
he did possess a clever mind and great
understanding of right and
wrong. He had the
courage to do what he felt was right, no mater
what the cost. In 1860, shortly before the
Civil War began, he said,
to the end, dare
to do our duty as we understand it.
In 1858,
Lincoln had said,
stand. I believe this
government cannot endure permanently (长久
地)
half slave and half free.
created the
Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, declaring all
slaves in the Southern states to be free.
After the Civil War, the
Thirteenth Amendment
(修改) to the Constitution was adopted. This
amendment freed all slaves throughout
the nation.
Because he was a masterful writer
who could express his beliefs
clearly and with
great emotional force, Lincoln was able to make
Northerners understand why they were fighting
a difficult civil war.
In 1863, in dedicating
land to be set aside for the burial of the dead
in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, he finished his
shortest and most
famous address with the
following wish:
God, shall have a new birth of
freedom, and that government of the
people, by
the people, for the people shall not perish from
the
earth.
1.
One of the special
reasons that the American people regard
Lincoln as a hero is that Lincoln was a ______
man.
A. self-made
B. successful
C. capable
D. able

received much
schooling.

means ________.
A. last

Questions 6 to 10 are based on
the same passage or dialog.
Robert Spring, a
19th century forger, was so good at his job that
he
was able to make his living for 15 years by
selling false signatures
(签名) of famous
Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813
and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a
bookstore. At first he
prospered (兴隆) by
selling his small but real collection of early U.
S. signatures. Discovering his ability at
copying handwriting, he
began imitating (模仿)
signatures of George Washington and Ben
Franklin and writing them on the title pages
of old books. To lessen
the chance of being
found out, he sent his forgeries (伪造品) to
England and Canada for sale.
Forgers have
a hard time selling their products. A forger can't
approach a respectable buyer but must deal
with people who don't
have much knowledge in
the field. Forgers have many ways to
make
their work look real. For example, they buy old
books to use
the aged paper of the title page,
and they can treat paper and ink
with
chemicals.
In Spring's time, right after the
Civil War, Britain was still fond of the
Southern states, so Spring invented a
respectable lady known as
Miss Fanny Jackson,
the only daughter of General
Jackson. For
several years Miss Fanny's money problems forced
her to sell a great number of letters
and manuscripts (手稿)
belonging to her famous
father. Spring had to work very hard to
satisfy the demand. All this activity did not
prevent Spring from
dying in poverty (贫穷),
leaving sharp-eyed experts the difficult task
of separating his forgeries from the
originals.
6.
B. A forger is a
person who is good at his job.
C. A
forger is a person who loves to cheat people.
D. A forger is a person who makes false things
such as
signatures.
7.
B. He
became rich by selling books.
C. He
became rich by selling his collection of real
signatures.
D. He received a large amount
of money from one of his
relatives.
8.
What was the trouble for forgers in
their business mentioned
in this passage?
A. They could not find anyone who was willing
to buy their
forgeries.
B. They found
it very hard to forge the signatures of those
famous people.
C. They found it difficult
to sell their forgeries to people with
knowledge.
D. They had no way to make
their products attractive and true.
9.
B. He tried many times to make good
forgeries but failed.
C. He could not
meet the demand of Miss Fanny and was
poor for a short time.
According to the
passage, what can be said about Spring?
A. He
was very good at forgery and earned money doing
it.
How did Spring make his first fortune?
A. He prospered by selling fake signatures of
famous people.
According to the context, what
does
A. A forger is a person who opens a
bookshop.
D. He prospered on his
forgery and extended his business to
many
parts of the world.
