In the village where I grew up, everyone knew an old man, that spent all his time in painting. People that lived in the village used to admiring his works and he often gave his paintings to his friends. Whether he was offered money, he would never take it. He said he painted for a pleasure. He once gave one of his paintings to my father, who actually wasn’t interesting in art. Years later I found at our old house. By that time the old man had died and people had started to recognize his paintings as great work of art, which were worth lots of money. So an art gallery make me an offer of $5,000 for this painting and I nearly sold it, so then I decided not to. It reminds me of my childhood and of the old man who didn’t real want to make money by painting.

Answer

【解析】作者村子里有一位老人擅长作画，却不为人所赏识。直到老人去世，人们才意识到他的画的价值。作者有幸得到一幅，但是却没有卖，因为这幅画会让作者想起他的童年和那位老人。

1. that→who 考查关系代词。此处为非限制性定语从句，不能用that，因先行词是人，故用who。

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

3. Whether→If 考查引导词。句意：如果他被提供钱，他从不接受。此处应用if引导让步状语从句，用whether句意不同，故改为if。

4. 去掉a 考查冠词。此处pleasure为不可数名词，for pleasure“为了乐趣”。故去掉a。

5. interesting→interested 考查形容词。此处修饰人，故用interested。

6. found后加 it 考查代词。句意：我在老房子里找到了它。find是及物动词，后面要有宾语，代指前面提到的一幅画，用it。

7. work→works 考查名词。此处works意为“作品，著作”，故用复数。

8. make→made 考查时态。此处应用过去时态，故用made。

9. so→but 考查连接词。前面说老人的画很值钱，一家画廊出很多钱购买，但这句说他最终没有卖，是转折关系，故用but。

10. real→really 考查副词。副词修饰动词，故改为really。
