One
of
the
most
famous
buildings
in
the
United
States
is
Carnegie
Hall,
the
home
of
classical
and
popular
music
concerts
in
New
York.
Carnegie
Hall
is
known
not
just
for
its
beauty
and
history,
but
also
for
its
amazing
sound.
It
has
been
said
that
the
hall
itself
is
an
instrument.
It
takes
the
music
and
makes
it
larger
than
life.
Carnegie
Hall
is
named
after
Andrew
Carnegie,
who
paid
for
its
construction.
Construction
on
Carnegie
Hall
began
in
1890
and
the
official
opening
night
was
on
May
5,
1891.
The
hall
was
owned
by
the
Carnegie
family
until
1924
when
it
was
sold
to
Robert
E.
Simon.
The
building
became
very
old
and
in
1960,
the
new
owner
made
plans
to
destroy
it
and
build
an
office
block.
Isaac
Stern
led
a
group
of
people
who
fought
to
save
Carnegie
Hall
and
finally,
the
city
of
New
York
bought
it
for
$5
million.
It
was
then
fixed
up
between
1983
and
1995.
Advertisements
and
stories
in
newspapers
about
how
Carnegie
Hall
needed
help
to
recover
its
history
led
people
to
send
in
old
concert
programmes
and
information
from
all
over
the
world.
Over
12,
000
concert
programmes
were
received
and
with
these
it
was
possible
to
make
a
proper
record
of
Carnegie
Hall’s
concert
history.
Carnegie
Hall
is
actually
made
up
of
several
different
halls,
but
the
Main
Hall,
now
called
the
Isaac
Stern
Hall,
is
the
most
famous.
The
hall
itself
can
hold
an
audience
of
2,
804
in
five
levels
of
seating.
Because
the
best
and
most
famous
musicians
of
all
time
have
played
at
Carnegie
Hall,
it
is
the
dream
of
most
musicians
who
want
to
be
great
to
play
there.
This
has
led
to
a
very
old
joke
which
is
now
part
of
Carnegie
Hall’s
history.
Question:
“How
do
I
get
to
Carnegie
Hall?
”
Answer:
“Practise,
practise,
practise.
”

O’Keeffe
always
thought
of
herself
as
an
artist.
By
1928,
the
rest
of
the
world
did,
too.
At
the
age
of
41
she
was
living
in
New
York
City
and
became
a
well-known
painter.
Still,
O’Keeffe
wasn’t
happy.
New
York
had
been
a
good
source
of
ideas
for
almost
ten
years.
Now
those
ideas
were
drying
up.
O’Keeffe
felt
like
she
needed
a
change.
She
had
visited
New
Mexico
in
1917
with
her
sister.
The
wide
open
space
had
thrilled
her.
“Maybe
I
should
go
back,
”
she
thought.
In
April
of
1929,
O’Keeffe
packed
her
bags.
The
wide
open
space
of
New
Mexico
drew
O’Keeffe
in.
She
spent
hours
just
watching
the
sky
change.
Because
the
light
was
so
clear,
she
felt
like
she
could
see
for
the
first
time.
The
beauty
of
the
land
renewed
her.
She
couldn’t
wait
to
start
painting.
Cow
and
horse
skulls
and
desert
flowers
filled
her
canvases
(画布).
The
colors
of
the
desert
inspired
O’Keeffe.
As
a
result,
she
made
new
choices
in
her
artwork.
“The
color
up
there
is
different,
”
she
explained.
She
loved
the
dusty
blues
and
greens.
That
August,
O’Keeffe
went
home
to
New
York.
It
was
the
start
of
a
pattern.
Each
spring,
she
traveled
to
New
Mexico
to
paint.
These
trips
restored
her
spirit.
Then,
in
the
fall,
she
would
return
to
New
York.
There,
she
showed
her
work.
Each
time
O’Keeffe
visited
New
Mexico,
she
explored
a
little
more.
The
bleached
animal
bones
and
skulls
that
O’Keeffe
found
excited
her
because
she
could
see
their
special
beauty.
The
bones
didn’t
mean
death
to
O’Keeffe.
To
her,
they
showed
the
lasting
beauty
of
the
desert.
The
landscapes,
clear
light,
and
bright
colors
also
spoke
to
her.
She
often
painted
close-ups
of
the
rocks
and
mountains.
Later,
she
began
to
travel
more
in
search
of
new
ideas.
However,
she
always
came
back
to
New
Mexico.
As
O’Keeffe
grew
older,
her
eyesight
began
to
fail.
Still,
O’Keeffe
wasn’t
ready
to
give
up.
Her
friend
Juan
Hamilton
helped
her
work
with
watercolors.
He
also
taught
her
to
sculpt.
As
a
result,
she
made
art
into
her
90s.
When
she
died
at
the
age
of
98,
Hamilton
sprinkled
her
ashes
over
the
desert.
Her
body
became
part
of
the
land
that
had
touched
her
art
and
her
life.
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了画家乔治娅·奥·吉弗每年春天都从纽约出发到新墨西哥州的沙漠里发掘艺术灵感。
4.
Why
was
O’Keeffe
unhappy
in
New
York
in
1928?
A.
Because
she
was
lack
of
the
creative
ideas.
B.
Because
she
felt
disappointed
about
her
job.
C.
Because
she
was
not
successful
as
an
artist.
D.

York
had
been
a
good
source
of
ideas
for
almost
ten
years.
Now
those
ideas

”可知,
1928年,

缺乏创造性的想法。

One
of
the
most
famous
buildings
in
the
United
States
is
Carnegie
Hall,
the
home
of
classical
and
popular
music
concerts
in
New
York.
Carnegie
Hall
is
known
not
just
for
its
beauty
and
history,
but
also
for
its
amazing
sound.
It
has
been
said
that
the
hall
itself
is
an
instrument.
It
takes
the
music
and
makes
it
larger
than
life.
Carnegie
Hall
is
named
after
Andrew
Carnegie,
who
paid
for
its
construction.
Construction
on
Carnegie
Hall
began
in
1890
and
the
official
opening
night
was
on
May
5,
1891.
The
hall
was
owned
by
the
Carnegie
family
until
1924
when
it
was
sold
to
Robert
E.
Simon.
The
building
became
very
old
and
in
1960,
the
new
owner
made
plans
to
destroy
it
and
build
an
office
block.
Isaac
Stern
led
a
group
of
people
who
fought
to
save
Carnegie
Hall
and
finally,
the
city
of
New
York
bought
it
for
$5
million.
It
was
then
fixed
up
between
1983
and
1995.
Advertisements
and
stories
in
newspapers
about
how
Carnegie
Hall
needed
help
to
recover
its
history
led
people
to
send
in
old
concert
programmes
and
information
from
all
over
the
world.
Over
12,
000
concert
programmes
were
received
and
with
these
it
was
possible
to
make
a
proper
record
of
Carnegie
Hall’s
concert
history.
Carnegie
Hall
is
actually
made
up
of
several
different
halls,
but
the
Main
Hall,
now
called
the
Isaac
Stern
Hall,
is
the
most
famous.
The
hall
itself
can
hold
an
audience
of
2,
804
in
five
levels
of
seating.
Because
the
best
and
most
famous
musicians
of
all
time
have
played
at
Carnegie
Hall,
it
is
the
dream
of
most
musicians
who
want
to
be
great
to
play
there.
This
has
led
to
a
very
old
joke
which
is
now
part
of
Carnegie
Hall’s
history.
Question:
“How
do
I
get
to
Carnegie
Hall?
”
Answer:
“Practise,
practise,
practise.
”
1.
Why
do
people
mainly
wanted
to
save
Carnegie
Hall?
A.
Because
it
made
a
lot
of
money.
B.
Because
it
was
worth
visiting.
C.
Because
many
important
concerts
were
held
in
it.
D.
Because
it
made
some
musicians
become
famous.
2.
How
did
Carnegie
Hall
recover
its
concert
history?
A.
Through
newspaper
reports.
B.
Through
old
concert
programmes.
C.
Through
old
photographs.
D.
Through

Georgia
O’Keeffe
always
thought
of
herself
as
an
artist.
By
1928,
the
rest
of
the
world
did,
too.
At
the
age
of
41
she
was
living
in
New
York
City
and
became
a
well-known
painter.
Still,
O’Keeffe
wasn’t
happy.
New
York
had
been
a
good
source
of
ideas
for
almost
ten
years.
Now
those
ideas
were
drying
up.
O’Keeffe
felt
like
she
needed
a
change.
She
had
visited
New
Mexico
in
1917
with
her
sister.
The
wide
open
space
had
thrilled
her.
“Maybe
I
should
go
back,
”
she
thought.
In
April
of
1929,
O’Keeffe
packed
her
bags.
The
wide
open
space
of
New
Mexico
drew
O’Keeffe
in.
She
spent
hours
just
watching
the
sky
change.
Because
the
light
was
so
clear,
she
felt
like
she
could
see
for
the
first
time.
The
beauty
of
the
land
renewed
her.
She
couldn’t
wait
to
start
painting.
Cow
and
horse
skulls
and
desert
flowers
filled
her
canvases
(画布).
The
colors
of
the
desert
inspired
O’Keeffe.
As
a
result,
she
made
new
choices
in
her
artwork.
“The
color
up
there
is
different,
”
she
explained.
She
loved
the
dusty
blues
and
greens.
That
August,
O’Keeffe
went
home
to
New
York.
It
was
the
start
of
a
pattern.
Each
spring,
she
traveled
to
New
Mexico
to
paint.
These
trips
restored
her
spirit.
Then,
in
the
fall,
she
would
return
to
New
York.
There,
she
showed
her
work.
Each
time
O’Keeffe
visited
New
Mexico,
she
explored
a
little
more.
The
bleached
animal
bones
and
skulls
that
O’Keeffe
found
excited
her
because
she
could
see
their
special
beauty.
The
bones
didn’t
mean
death
to
O’Keeffe.
To
her,
they
showed
the
lasting
beauty
of
the
desert.
The
landscapes,
clear
light,
and
bright
colors
also
spoke
to
her.
She
often
painted
close-ups
of
the
rocks
and
mountains.
Later,
she
began
to
travel
more
in
search
of
new
ideas.
However,
she
always
came
back
to
New
Mexico.
As
O’Keeffe
grew
older,
her
eyesight
began
to
fail.
Still,
O’Keeffe
wasn’t
ready
to
give
up.
Her
friend
Juan
Hamilton
helped
her
work
with
watercolors.
He
also
taught
her
to
sculpt.
As
a
result,
she
made
art
into
her
90s.
When
she
died
at
the
age
of
98,
Hamilton
sprinkled
her
ashes
over
the
desert.
Her
body
became
part
of
the
land
that
had
touched
her
art
and
her
life.
4.
Why
was
O’Keeffe
unhappy
in
New
York
in
1928?
A.
Because
she
was
lack
of
the
creative
ideas.
B.
Because
she
felt
disappointed
about
her
job.
C.
Because
she
was
not
successful
as
an
artist.
D.
Because
she
felt
bored
about
life
in
a
big
city.
5.
What
can
we
know
about
O’Keeffe
after
her
trips
to
New
Mexico?
A.
She
received
great
reputation
there.
B.
She
discovered
the
meaning
of
her
life.
C.
She
chose
to
settle
down
in
that
country.
D.
She
got
new
thoughts
from
the
scenery.
6.

O’Keeffe

She
was
never
afraid
of
failure
and
death.

and
