Answer 1

【答案】but；because/when；carefully；herself；for；hanging；bought；more；a；who
【解析】很少会有人在76岁时考虑开始一份新工作，但是一位美国艺术家做到了。本文讲的就是这位美国艺术家的故事。

（1）but前后是转折关系，所以填but。

（2）because/when后面接的从句是她转行开始画画的原因。从句也可视作时间状语从句，填when。故答案可为because或when。

（3）carefully修饰谓语动词painted，作状语，用副词，故填carefully。

（4）herself由后文“开始卖作品给别人”可知，她先只是自己画给自己看，取悦于自己。故填herself。

（5）for表示交换用for, sell sth．for…意为“以多少钱卖某物”。故填for。

（6）hanging非谓语动词短语作定语，修饰名词works，因works与hang(悬挂)是主动关系，用现在分词短语作定语。故填hanging。

（7）bought与liked和set out并列，一起作谓语，时态也应一致。故填过去式bought。

（8）more因他喜欢她的画，所以他开始寻找“更多”Grandma Moses的作品。故填more。

（9）a为了把Grandma Moses的作品介绍给别的艺术家，所以他“举行了一次展览”。故用不定冠词a。

（10）who引导定语从句并在从句中作主语，先行词是Grandma Moses。故填who。
