Since my retirement(退休) from teaching music in 2001, I have spent a good deal of time painting as an artist. I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died, so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father, or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him. In any case, I drew pen and ink animals and landscapes(風景畫) much influenced(影響) by Krenkel and St. John for five years.
For some strange reason, I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again, but as soon as I walked out of the school door for the last time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth, who quickly became my favorite artist. I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors should look. So I painted landscapes around
Art is now together with my piano playing and reading. There is a time for everything in my world, and it is wonderful to have some time doing what I want to do. As Confucius once said, “At seventy I can follow my heart’s desire.”
69．What is the text mainly about?
A．Learning to paint in later life. B．How to paint watercolors.
C．An artist-turned teacher. D．Life after retirement
70．The author started drawing again in 1995 because ___________.
A．he hoped to draw a picture of his father

71．We can infer from the text that the author ____________.
A．had been taught by Krenkel and
B．painted landscapes in
C．believed Wyeth to be the best in watercolors
D．started his retirement life at the age of seventy
72．How does the author probably feel about his life as an artist?

C．Rather busy. D．Fairly dull.
69.D.
解析：本題正確選項可以用純排除法得出.因A,B,C三個選項與短文陳述內容出入很大,而D是短文的中心.
70.B.
解析：短文開頭中…so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father, or maybe…可以得知B為正確選項.
71.C.
解析：從短文作者對Andrew Wyeth的評價:…and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors should look.可以推斷出.
72.A.
解析：從短文最后一段…and it is wonderful to have some time doing what I want to do. As Confucius once said, ” At seventy I can follow my heart’s desire.”可得知作者對自己的藝術生涯感道快樂.
