14、try in 1911.”可知 Jane Addams 和 Marie Curie 都获得了诺贝尔奖，故 A 项正确。2C 推理判断题。根据第二部分的“The popular 1962 book Silent Spring by Rachel Carson made people realize the dangers and the harmful effects(影响) of pollution on humans and on the worlds lakes and oceans.”可知，她写书是为了让人们知道人类的行为对环境的影响，故 C 项正确。3B 细节理解题。根据第三部分的“I

16、的故事。老人因为年老不能再从事农场工作，于是转向画画，并且疯狂地爱上了画画。她开始只是为了取悦自己，后来卖画赚钱，最后她的画被一个收藏家发现，她也因此出名。1but 考查连词。前文说很少有人在 76 岁还想着开始一份新的工作，后文说美国一位著名的艺术家就这么做了，前后是转折关系，故填 but。2when 考查连词。横线后面是一个时间状语从句，整句语境为“当她年龄太大不能从事农场工作时她转向画画” ，故填 when。3painting 考查动名词。be crazy about “为疯狂” ，about 是介词，后跟动词要用动名词形式， 故填 painting。4carefully 考查副词。修饰
17、前面的谓语动词 painted，应用副词形式，故填carefully。5herself 考查反身代词。由下文的“then began to sell her works for a little money.”可知，她开始只是为了取悦自己，故填反身代词 herself。6that 考查定语从句。_were hanging in a shop 是定语从句，横线处引导定语从句并在从句中作主语，先行词是 works(作品)，且又被形容词的最高级修饰，故填 that。7bought 考查动词的时态。所填词与前面的 liked 和后面的 set out 并列，一起作句子的谓语，时态也应一致，都用一般过去时，故填 bought。8a 考查冠词。 Caldor 举办了一次展览。show “展览” ，是可数名词，此处是单数，故填 a。9to 考查固定短语。他把 Grandma Moses 的作品介绍给其他艺术家。introduceto是固定短语，意为“把介绍给” ，故填 to。10who 考查定语从句。横线处引导定语从句并在从句中作主语，先行词是 Grandma Moses，故填 who。
