阅读下列短文,然后根据短文的內容從每小题的四个选项中选出可填入相应空白处的最佳选择,并把它前面的大写字母填入左边括号里。

A

Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the   United States, yet she had only just begun painting 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.

She was born on a farm in New York State. At twelve she left home and was in   a service until at twenty-seven, she married Thomas Moses, the tenant of hers.   They farmed most of their lives. She had ten children, of whom five survived;   her husband died in 1928.

Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a   hobby, but only changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too   stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were   first sold at an exhibition, and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought   everything she painted. Three of the pictures were shown 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 pictures of   the country life she had known, with a wonderful sense of color and form.

A. Grandma Moses

In the fall of 1924 Thomas Wolfe, fresh from his courses in play writing at   Harvard joined the eight or ten of us who were teaching English composition in   New York University. I had never before seen a man so tall as he, and so ugly. I   pitied him and went out of my way to help him with his work and make him feel at   home.

His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness. They   spoke of his ability to explain a poem in such a manner as to have them shouting   with laughter or struggling to keep back their tears, of his readiness to quote   in detail from any poet they could name.

Indeed, his students made so much of his power of observation that I decided   to make a little test and see for myself. My chance came one morning when the   students were slowly gathering for nine o;clock classes.

Upon arriving at the university that day, I found Wolfe alone in the large   room which served all the English composition teachers as an office. He did not   say anything when I asked him to come with me out into the hall, and he only   smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told him to enter alone and look   around.

He stepped in, remained no more than thirty seconds and then came out. Tell   me what you see. I said as I took his place in the room, leaving him in the   hall with his back to the door. Without the least hesitation and without a   single error, he gave the number of seats in the room, pointed out those which   were taken by boys and those occupied by girls, named the colors each student   was wearing, pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard, spoke of the   chalk marks which the cleaner had failed to wash from the floor, and pictured in   detail the view of Washington Square from the window.

As I rejoined Wolfe, I was speechless with surprise. He, on the contrary, was   wholly calm as he said, The worst thing about it is that I;ll remember it   all.

( )55. What is the passage mainly discussing?

A. Thomas Wolfe;s teaching work.

B. Thomas Wolfe;s course in playwriting.

C. Thomas Wolfe;s ability of explaining.

D. Thomas Wolfe;s genius.

( )56. Which of the following is NOT said in the passage?

B. The author made an experiment on Wolfe;s ability.

C. Wolfe;s students asked the author to have a test of their ability.

D. Wolfe did not feel angry when he was tested.

( )57. What do we learn about Wolfe from the passage?

A. He tried hard to remember what was in the classroom.

B. He stayed in the classroom for a short time.

C. He stayed drew a picture of Washington Square.

D. He followed the author into the classroom.

( )58. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. The author was happy to see the test result.

B. What the students said was hardly true.

C. Wolfe would remember forever what the author had done.

D. Wolfe felt joyful after he had been tested.
