In the village where I grew up, everyone knew an old man, who lived a simply life and spent all his time painting. The villagers used to admiring his works and he often gave his paintings to his friends. Whenever he was offered money, he would not take them. He said he painted for a pleasure. He once gave one of his paintings to my father, whom actually wasn’t interested in art. Years later I found it in our old house. By that time the old man has died and people started to recognize his paintings as great works of art, which was worth lots of money. An art gallery made me an offer of $5,000 for this painting and I nearly sold it, so then I decided not to. It always reminds me my childhood and of the old man who didn’t really want to make money by paint.

【解析】

试题分析：作者村子里有一位老人擅长作画，却不为人所赏识，直到去世才体现出了他的画的价值，作者有幸收藏了一幅，但是却没有卖。

1.→simple 考查形容词。此处为形容词作定语，修饰后面的名词，故用simple。

2.→admire 考查动词。此处为固定搭配：used to do“过去常常做……”。

3.→it 考查代词。此处指代前面的money，是不可数名词，用代词it指代。

4. 考查冠词。此处pleasure为不可数名词，for pleasure也可看成固定搭配，“为了乐趣”。故去掉a。

5.→who 考查定语从句关系词。此处为非限制性定语从句，缺少主语，先行词为人，应用who。

6.→had 考查时态。根据By that time可知，此处表示过去的过去，故用过去完成时，故把has改为had。

7.→were 此处为非限制性定语从句，主语which指代前面的works，复数，故was改为were。

8.→but 考查连接词。画廊要出高价买，但作者没卖，故此处为转折关系，故把so改为but。

9. 考查固定搭配。remind sb of使某人想起……。

10.→painting 考查非谓语动词。前面是介词by，后面接动词要用动名词形式。
