【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文讲述了：安富有的爷爷六十岁时开始学习绘画，十二年里画了很多作品，他对自己的作品很满意，并保存的很好。临终前他告诉安，想把自己的绘画捐给一所学校，可是不知道给哪一所。安建议他送给盲校，因为他的画太差了。

1.Ann的爷爷是个富人。根据第一句Ann’s grandpa was very rich and he had some shops.可知安的爷爷很富裕，故选D。

2. old man began to learn drawing when he was sixty, and he loved it very much. 可知他喜欢绘画，据句意他相当艺术家，故选A。

3.60岁时，老人喜欢画画。根据The old man began to learn drawing when he was sixty.可知她爷爷喜欢绘画。故选D。

4.细节理解题。当老人住院时，他72岁。根据第1段第2句可知，安的爷爷60岁开始学绘画；再由For twelve years he drew a lot ...可知画了十二年，故他的年龄是60+12=72。应该选C。

5. better give them to a blind school. 你最好送给一所盲校。暗示着他的画很差，令人不忍看。故选D。
