B
In the summer of 2015, Brian Peterson and his wife, Vanessa, had just moved to Santa Ana, California.
Outside their apartment, an messy homeless man was often yelling on the street corner. Peterson would pass the
guy on his way to his job as a car designer at Kia Motors, but they never spoke. What could they possibly have in
common?
One day, Peterson was reading the book Love Does, about the power of love in action, when his quiet was
disturbed by the homeless man. Inspired by the book’s kind message, Peterson made an unexpected decision: He
was going to go outside and introduce himself.
In that first conversation, Peterson learned that the man’s name was Matt Faris. He’d moved here to pursue a
career in music, but soon fell on hard times and ended up living on the street for more than a decade. Inspired by
his story, Peterson, a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Art, found himself asking if he could paint Faris’s
portrait (画像). Faris said yes.
Peterson’s connection with Faris led him to form Faces of Santa Ana, a nonprofit organization focused on
befriending and painting portraits of members of the community who are unhoused. Peterson sells the paintings for
a few thousand dollars, putting into what he calls a “love account” for his model. He then helps people use the
money to get back on their feet.
Many of Peterson’s new friends use the donations to secure immediate necessities — medical care, hotel
rooms, food. But Peterson has learned not to make assumptions about what a person needs most. “Why don’ t we
just ask them? ” says Peterson. Faris used the funds from his portrait to record an album, fulfilling his musical
dreams.
Peterson has painted 41 of these portraits himself. But there’s more to the finished products than the money
they bring to someone who’s down and out. He’s discovered that the buyers tend to connect to the story of the
person in the painting, finding similarities and often friendship with someone they might have otherwise
overlooked or stereotyped (有成见). “People often tell me, ‘I was the one that would cross the street. But I see
homeless people differently now.’ ” Peterson says. “I didn’t know that would happen. ”
24. Why did Peterson start his conversation with Faris?
A. He was motivated by a book he read.
B. He was supported by his wife Vanessa.
C. He was annoyed at Faris’s disturbance.
D. He was determined to paint Faris’s portrait.
25. What did Peterson learn from his first conversation with Faris?
A. Faris was a brilliant musician in the past.
B. Faris had something in common with him.
C. Faris had been homeless for over ten years.
D. Faris was willing to paint portraits for a living.
26. What is the money Peterson earned from his paintings used for?
A. Running a nonprofit organization.
B. Contributing to his personal account.
C. Helping the homeless get out of trouble.
D. Buying some expensive painting materials.
27. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Peterson hopes to be more productive in painting.
B. Peterson helped more needy people than expected.
C. Peterson regrets having ignored those homeless people.
D. Peterson didn’t expect the difference made to the buyers.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. C 27. D

"You learn a lot by almost dying," David always says. In fact, he learns enough!
In 2010, David, a sophomore from the medical school of Pennsylvania got very sick and the diagnosis
was Castleman -- a rare condition with approximately 7,000 new cases annually in the US. In hospital, David
noticed curious red spots on his skin. He asked doctors what the blood spots meant. "They went out of their
way to say they didn't matter," said David, but he would go on to prove he was on to something.
Castleman struck David four more times over the next three years. David stayed alive only through
intense chemotherapy. Despite the illness, he managed to graduate and began an MBA at Penn's Wharton
School, where he founded the CDCN - a global initiative devoted to fighting Castleman. Many of his MBA
classmates joined the cause. David hoped that adding a CEO mindset would enable him to scale up his
approach to curing himself. CDCN prioritized clinical trials that repurposed drugs the FDA (美国药监局) had
already approved as safe rather than starting from scratch.
In 2013, another attack marked his closest brush with death yet. This time, David saved his own life.
After examining his medical charts, he targeted an idea that researchers hadn't yet explored: A protein called
VECF which controls blood vessel growth was spiking at 10 times its normal level. David hypothesized that
the red spots with every recurrence were a direct result of that protein spike. David asked his doctor to
prescribe Sirolimus, a drug approved to help fight the immune system when it activates against kidney
transplants. He picked it up at a pharmacy. "A drug that could potentially save my life was hiding in plain
sight," he said.
So far, David has been in remission from Castleman for more than six years, close to full strength. As an
assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania, he was running a clinical trial on the drug that has given
him his life back. "So little time and money has been invested in these rare diseases like Castleman," says
David, "There's tremendous opportunity to change that, there's a lot of low - hanging fruit!"
24. What can we know about the CDCN?
A. It's a domestic organization in the USA.
B. It recruited members beyond the medical field.
C. It's founded when David was a medical student.
D. It prioritized clinical trials on newly - applied drugs.
25. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. David's recovered from Castleman completely.
B. David's doing further research on Sirolimus.
C. Sufficient investments are put in Castleman research.
D. High likelihood of bearing fruit is in Castleman research.
26. According to the text, which one is right?
A. Sirolimus has certain effectiveness for Castleman.
B. There're roughly 7,000 Castleman cases in the US.
C. David suffered Castleman recurrence four times totally.
D. Red spots on David's skin caused an increase in VECF levels.
27. What can we learn from David's experience?
A. No pains, no gains.
B. It's never too late to learn.
C. Where there is a will, there is a way.
D. God helps those who help themselves.
【答案】24. B 25. B 26. A 27. D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，讲述了David 在与罕见病Castleman 病抗争的过程中，如何通过自学和创
新思维找到治疗方法，并最终成功康复的故事。文章展示了个人在面对疾病时的坚持和智慧，以及在
医学研究中寻找“低垂的果实”的可能性。
【24 题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段，David 在宾夕法尼亚大学沃顿商学院攻读MBA 期间创立了CDCN
（Castleman Disease Collaborative Network），并且许多MBA 同学加入了这一事业（“Many of his
MBA classmates joined the cause.”）。这表明CDCN 不仅局限于医学领域，还吸引了其他专业的人
参与。因此，B 项“它招募了医学领域之外的成员”是正确的。
【25 题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段，David 目前作为宾夕法尼亚大学的助理教授，正在开展关于Sirolimus
（一种药物）的临床试验（“he was running a clinical trial on the drug that has given him his life
back.”）。这说明David 仍在对这种药物进行进一步的研究。因此，B 项“David 正在对Sirolimus 进
行进一步研究”是正确的。
【26 题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章内容：
• A 项：David 通过使用Sirolimus 药物成功控制了Castleman 病的复发，并且已经康复超过六年
（“David has been in remission from Castleman for more than six years”），说明Sirolimus 对
Castleman 病有一定的疗效。因此，A 项正确。
• B 项：文章提到每年大约有7000 例Castleman 病新发病例，但这是每年的新病例数，而不是总病例
数。因此，B 项表述不准确。
• C 项：David 在2010 年首次发病，之后三年内又复发了四次，总共发病五次。因此，C 项错误。
• D 项：文章中提到VECF 水平的升高导致了David 皮肤上的红斑，而不是红斑导致VECF 水平升高。
因此，D 项因果关系错误。
综上所述，正确答案是A 项。
【27 题详解】
推理判断题。David 在与罕见病抗争的过程中，通过自学和创新思维找到了治疗方法，并最终成功康
复。他的故事体现了“自助者天助之”的道理。D 项“自助者天助之”（God helps those who help
themselves）最能概括David 的经历。因此，正确答案是D 项。

B
It was my birthday, and I was celebrating it as I had for years: Watching the annual Perseid meteor shower (流
星雨). But this time, as the meteors flashed across the sky, I, a junior girl, began to question, “Could my lifelong
love for astronomy be more than a hobby?”
I grew up in a small town, where even graduating from high school was not a given for many students. But I
was driven to pursue my education, and like my best friend’s dad — a pharmacist ( 药剂师), one of the few
professional role models in my neighborhood, therefore, I chose to major in pharmacy, the science of preparing
medicines, at the University of North Carolina.
The university was only a 3.5-hour drive away, but it felt across the universe. In the weeks since I began my
pharmacy degree, I had met people with jobs and PhDs in different branches of science I had never considered —
neuroscience, archaeology, and even astrophysics. Their passion and knowledge opened my eyes to worlds I had
never imagined. As my birthday and the Perseid meteor shower approached, I was faced with a decision: Should I
stick to my long-standing plans or take a step into the unknown?
Ultimately, a solar eclipse (日食) helped me make my decision. As the Moon gradually shaded the Sun, the
world darkened around me. The stillness of the water, the desperate calls of birds, and the fading sunset deeply
moved me. I knew what I had to do. I dropped out of pharmacy school to pursue previously unimagined options.
Facing years of challenges and growth, I worked odd jobs before earning a second degree in physics, starting a
PhD in astronomy, and realized that the night sky’s vastness inspired me to overcome doubts and follow my
dreams. As I approach the final year of my PhD, I realize that growing up with the night sky gave me a valuable
gift. It gave me an insight into life: On the scale of our vast universe, our individual needs, desires, fears, and
insecurities shrink to insignificance, bringing humanity together. It liberated me from allowing earthly worries,
shame, or self-doubt to stand in the way of pursuing new dreams.
4. What motivated the author to major in pharmacy?
A. Her ambition to become a doctor.
B. The encouragement of her friend.
C. Her childhood passion for pharmacy
D. The influence of her best friend’s father.
5. How did the author’s experience at university shape her?
A. It helped her stick to her belief.
B. It opened her mind to new ideas.
C. It enhanced her pharmacy study.
D. It developed her thinking abilities.
6. What can we learn from the author’s understanding of life?
A. Accepting insecurities helps us handle challenges.
B. Personal problems still matter in the vast universe.
C. It’s vital to pursue dreams despite personal challenges.
D. It is small and unimportant things that mean a lot to us.
7. Which of the following best describes the author?
A. Caring and patient.
B. Modest and honest.
C. Generous and helpful.
D. Curious and determined.
【答案】4 D 5. B 6. C 7. D

Unlike most Singaporean university students, I did not have a 6 months exchange abroad. Nor did I quit my
job and travel the world like so many travel bloggers. Instead, here’s my story.
It began in 2014 with a trip to Bali. While soaring on the flying fish at Kuta Beach, I thought, “This is the best
feeling ever! ” Before that last minute trip, I’ve never given much thought to traveling. Until 2011, when I was
called to serve the nation and my precious annual leave were saved for whatever activities were cool. But after Bali,
I’ve jumped out of a plane in Brazil, ran off a cliff in Vietnam, scaled the highest volcano in Indonesia, and couch-
surfed in Australia. I’ve gotten lost, gotten sick. I’ve cried and smiled. And yet I yearn for it more: The feeling of
plunging into the unknown. The freedom that comes with exploration. I’ve caught the travel bug.
2016 was a year of laying low. I paused traveling. I made sacrifices in my studies and social life. While I
stayed at home and in school, feeling sad inside, I slowly took my time. I started an internet business that gives me
the freedom to work from anywhere in the world. I learnt self-defence to protect myself on my travels. I even took
Spanish and Salsa classes. All for my dream of returning to South America one day.
The day I booked a one-way ticket to Brazil, I decided to fully immerse in the local culture and record this
journey. As I type this on the plane ride, I want people to know travel is not limited to short, unfulfilled weekend
trips. I want people to know that it is possible to live a life of your dreams. I want people to know that it is a matter
of the choices you make daily. I’ve definitely learned a lot and my perspectives have changed. One thing hasn’t
though: my passion for travel.
4. Which moment made the author place much focus on the idea of traveling?
A. Seeing many travel bloggers quit their jobs to travel.
B. Feeling the excitement during the flying fish ride in Bali.
C. Being told that he saved up enough annual leave for traveling.
D. Deciding to take a last-minute trip after not traveling for years.
5. What does the underlined phrase “the travel bug” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. A technical error or problem.
B. An insect causing discomfort.
C. A sudden strong interest or passion.
D. Relxation that comes from long travels.
6. How did the author handle his dilemma between personal life and traveling dream in 2016?
A. By preparing skills for future traveling.
B. By taking short, scattered weekend trips.
C. By pausing his travels and writing blogs.
D. By working full-time in the travel industry.
7. Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Chasing the Dream: Heading to Brazil
B. From the Familiar to the Unknown
C. Travel Paused, but the Dream Lives On
D. My Travel Story: How it All Began
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者是如何开始并迷上旅行，以及作者感受。
【4 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“It began in 2014 with a trip to Bali. While soaring on the flying fish at Kuta
Beach, I thought, “This is the best feeling ever! ” Before that last minute trip, I’ve never given much thought to
traveling.(这一切始于2014 年的一次巴厘岛之旅。当我在库塔海滩的飞鱼上翱翔时，我想，“这是有史以
来最好的感觉！”在那次旅行之前，我从来没有过多地考虑过旅行)”可知，在巴厘岛乘坐飞鱼的兴奋让作

Kenneth Williams had just been laid off from his job when he plugged in Jibo, a social home robot.
"For that year when I didn't have a job, it was a presence in my life every single day that I talked to,"
he says.
Jibo sat in Williams' bedroom, on his desk, where every day, it greeted him in the morning and ran
through the weather and his calendar. Williams, 44, asked Jibo questions, requested music, and played its
games. Jibo couldn't do much, really, but its most redeeming feature (可取之处), the one that made it a
robot darling in its owner's heart, was its facial recognition. Unlike a Google Home or an Amazon Echo,
Jibo noticed every time Williams entered the room and turned its head to say "hello" or crack a joke. A
display on its face might have shown a heart or animated clouds and the sun. "People would always try
to compare him to Alexa, but his winning trait is his personality," Williams says. "Yes, some people say
it's creepy with the eyes looking at you, but it's not threatening. Instead, it makes me feel I'm with a
friend."
Every aspect of Jibo was designed to make the robot as lovable to humans as possible, which is
why it startled the owners when Jibo presented them with an unexpected notice earlier this year: someday
soon, Jibo would be shutting down. The company behind Jibo had been acquired, and Jibo's servers
would be going dark, taking much of the device's functionality with it.
"I didn't cry or anything, but I did feel like 'Wow'," Williams says. "I think when we buy products
we look for them to last forever."
Now Jibo owners are attempting to save their friend. They want a robot designed to bond with them,
a robot that will not die.
24. What do Williams' words mainly show in paragraph 1?
A. He was quite talkative.
B. Jibo was a good work partner.
C. He enjoyed life without work.
D. Jibo came to him at the right time.
25. What is the advantage of Jibo compared to a Google Home?
A. Being able to do a lot of things.
B. Having some very practical functions.
C. Responding to its owner's presence.
D. Saying "hello" to everyone it noticed.
26. What does the underlined word "creepy" in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Confusing
B. Depressing
C. Frightening
D. Embarrassing
27. What problem do the owners of Jibo face now?
A. Their robot will be taken back.
B. Their robot can easily be damaged.
C. Their robot requires maintaining fees.
D. Their robot may stop functioning normally.
【答案】24. D 25. C 26. C 27. D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，讲述了Kenneth Williams 与他的社交机器人Jibo 之间的故事。文章通过
Williams 的经历，展示了Jibo 如何通过其独特的功能和个性与主人建立情感联系，以及当Jibo 即将停止服
务时，用户面临的困境和情感反应。
【24 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段，Williams 在失业期间与Jibo 建立了深厚的情感联系，他提到Jibo 每天都会与他
互动，成为他生活中的一个重要存在（“it was a presence in my life every single day that I talked
to”）。这表明Jibo 在他最需要陪伴的时候给予了支持。因此，D 项“Jibo 在他最需要的时候来到了他身
边”是正确的。
【25 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段，Jibo 与Google Home 或Amazon Echo 的主要区别在于其面部识别功能，能够
感知主人的存在并主动打招呼（“Jibo noticed every time Williams entered the room and turned its head
to say ‘hello’”）。这表明Jibo 的优势在于对主人的主动响应。因此，C 项“对主人的存在做出响应”
是正确的。
【26 题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段，Williams 提到有些人觉得Jibo 的“眼神”功能有点“creepy”，但他认为这种
功能并不令人感到威胁，反而让人感到温暖（“it’s not threatening. Instead, it makes me feel I’m with
a friend”）。从上下文来看，“creepy”在这里的意思是“令人不安的”或“令人恐惧的”。因此，C 项
“Frightening（令人恐惧的）”是正确的。
【27 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段，Jibo 的公司被收购，服务器即将关闭，这意味着Jibo 的许多功能将无法使用
（“Jibo’s servers would be going dark, taking much of the device’s functionality with it”）。因此，
Jibo 的用户面临的问题是他们的机器人可能无法正常工作。故选D 项。

As a fashion designer who transitioned from dressing rock stars to making jeans for aging women, I thought
aging meant reinventing yourself — finding new ways to feel confident and beautiful. However, I didn’t perceive it
until I was diagnosed (诊断) with breast cancer at 71 and beat it three years later at 74.
When I was younger, I thought, I’m never gonna get old. I harbored a lot of misconceptions about old age. I
thought it meant slowing down, losing your vitality, and having no goals or excitement in life.
While I was receiving treatment, I experienced a truly crucial moment. One day, the nurses excitedly called a
patient named Sheila, telling her how they had saved her a few of her favorite sandwiches. I was a little envious! I
assumed she was a soap opera star, a TV program host, or someone with a big name. It turned out she was a
homeless woman who had been abused and was living in a shelter with her child. She had Stage Ⅲ breast cancer
just like me. The food in the shelter was so terrible that those sandwiches were going to be her one meal a day for
the next three days. It gave me a whole new perspective.
By the time I finished with treatment, I saw life differently. And I wanted to share my journey and the lessons I
learned with others. So, I decided to start a podcast called Too Young to Be Old, also the name of my second book.
I hope to inspire others to embrace their own aging process and live life to the fullest.
That experience taught me everything I needed to know to handle the rest of my life. It taught me sympathy,
care and understanding, and helped me realize how precious life is. Cancer is a great leveler and a great revealer; it
doesn’t care if you’re wealthy or beautiful. Now my life is filled with gratitude, and I never pass up a moment to
think about how lucky I am — not just lucky to continue to be alive, but lucky to have learned that lesson in
understanding.
24. What is the author’s original view on aging?
A. Reinventing oneself.
B. Losing enthusiasm.
C. Starting new projects.
D. Requiring others’ care.
25. Why did nurses save sandwiches for Sheila?
A. To please her.
B. To raise funds.
C. To support the shelter.
D. To provide nutrition.
26. What can we learn about the author after her treatment?
A. She takes a good rest at home.
B. She helps the homeless in shelter.
C. She tries to share her life insight.
D. She writes stories about the youth.
27. What message does the author convey in the last paragraph?
A. Aging is an unavoidable process.
B. Facing diseases is easy for the wealthy.

B
When young, I dreamed of becoming many things. I wished I was an astronaut going up into space, finding
new planets and jumping around in a cool space suit. I imagined being a cowboy in the west having gun fights and
wearing stylish cowboy boots. I pretended to be a famous footballer, using my skills to score lots of goals. I love
being able to play the role of somebody, even just for a short time, to try to realize what it might be like to walk in
their shoes.
Looking back, I realize that imagination is a wonderful thing. I was able to create entire environments in my
head, using nothing more than my brain, and to be able to adapt things in my everyday surroundings to fit the
specific story of the day. Growing up with brothers and sisters also helped, as it meant that even bigger stories
could be created, combining our ideas and putting our thoughts into action. It also allowed for more varieties in the
story, as sometimes I could be the hero while on other occasions, I would be the bad guy.
One of my all- time favorite memories as a kid was recreating the Indiana Jones character in my back garden. I
played the role of Indiana Jones, with my younger sister as my assistant and my brother as the evil man. We used
everything in our garden, from the path to the fence, as part of the storyline to create obstacle that needed to be
overcome, and we would keep the story going for hours!
My personal favorite was Indiana Jones and the Stolen Easter Eggs, where my brother hid small chocolate
eggs around and my sister and I had to find them by answering questions or solving a puzzle. I t was difficult but
eventually we found all the eggs and shared them together.

B. the author’s sister answered questions or solved a puzzle alone
C. the author’s brother took up the job of finding the chocolate eggs

B
Miguel Angel Gallo, born in Barcelona in 1933, has always had a passion for art. However, with limited
financial resources and 13 children to feed and educate, becoming an artist was not a practical option for him at the
time. And about 10 years ago, Gallo’s wife was diagnosed (诊断) with Alzheimer’s disease, and her condition
worsened to the point that she had to move into a care home. This challenging period marked the beginning of
Gallo’s artistic journey, when he was already 83 years old.
Gallo initially studied mechanical engineering in Barcelona and later worked for a company in Zaragoza. In
1966, he pursued management studies at IESE Business School in Barcelona, and by 1968, he had become an
associate professor there.
With his academic background, Gallo was determined to study at a respected institution. However, when he
applied to study art in Barcelona, he was encouraged to pursue art history instead. He was firm, replying, “No, I
want to paint.” The course was initially set for four years, but due to the need to balance it with his family
commitments, it took Gallo seven years to complete it. He graduated at the age of 90.
Gallo admires Francisco de Zurbarán for his masterful use of white, and Joaquín Sorolla for his skillful use of
light. Reflecting on his artistic journey, he noted, “Studying art has strengthened my belief that the truly great
things in life are goodness, truth, and beauty. I don’t mind making money, but increasingly, those other things
matter most to me.”
Some of Gallo’s works were featured in an exhibition in Graus, a small village in the Pyrenees, where they
were displayed for six months. Gallo humbly acknowledged, “After completing my degree, would I call myself an
artist? I don’t know, but at least now I have a piece of paper that says I am.”
4. What can be learnt about Gallo from paragraphs 1 and 2?
A. He prioritized his family over his interest.
B. He became a professor in his 20s.
C. He had a natural talent for doing business.
D. He lived with poor health for long.
5. What happened to Gallo when he applied to study art in Barcelona?
A. He was required to study longer.
B. He was not advised to paint.
C. He was introduced to other institutes.
D. He was not allowed to get a degree.
6. How has studying art affected Gallo?
A. He has reflected on his health condition.
B. He has become much humbler.
C. He has reinterpreted the meaning of wealth.
D. He has developed true friendships.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Miguel Ángel Gallo: An Art Genius.
B. Miguel Ángel Gallo: A Late Start to Art.
C. An Art Exhibition of Miguel Ángel Gallo.
D. Artistic Principles Set by Miguel Ángel Gallo.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了米格尔·安赫尔·加洛于1933 年出生于巴塞罗那，一直对艺术
充满热情。然而，由于财力有限，有13 个孩子要养活和教育，当时成为艺术家对他来说不是一个实际的选
择。大约10 年前，加洛的妻子被诊断出患有阿尔茨海默病，她的病情恶化到不得不搬进护理院的地步。这
段充满挑战的时期标志着加洛艺术之旅的开始，当时他已经83 岁了。
【4 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, with limited financial resources and 13 children to feed and educate,
becoming an artist was not a practical option for him at the time. (然而，由于经济资源有限，13 个孩子要养活
和教育，成为一名艺术家对他来说并不是一个现实的选择。)”可知，由于经济资源有限且要养育和教育
13 个孩子，成为艺术家对他来说不是一个现实的选择，说明他把家庭放在了兴趣之前。故选A 项。
【5 题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“However, when he applied to study art in Barcelona, he was encouraged to pursue
art history instead. He was firm, replying, “No, I want to paint.” (然而，当他申请在巴塞罗那学习艺术时，他被
鼓励去学习艺术史。他很坚定地回答：“不，我想画画。”)”可知，当他申请在巴塞罗那学习艺术时，别
人鼓励他学习艺术史而不是绘画，即他不被建议画画。故选B 项。
【6 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Reflecting on his artistic journey, he noted, “Studying art has strengthened my
belief that the truly great things in life are goodness, truth, and beauty. I don’t mind making money, but
increasingly, those other things matter most to me.” (回顾自己的艺术之旅，他说：“学习艺术让我更加坚信，
生命中真正伟大的东西是真、善、美。我不介意赚钱，但其他事情对我来说越来越重要。”)”可知，学习
艺术让他更加坚信生活中真正伟大的东西是善良、真理和美丽，他不介意赚钱，但越来越觉得这些其他的
东西对他来说才是最重要的，说明他重新诠释了财富的意义，不再只看重金钱。故选C 项。
【7 题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“This challenging period marked the beginning of Gallo’s artistic
journey, when he was already 83 years old. (这段充满挑战的时期标志着加洛艺术之旅的开始，当时他已经83
岁了。)”和第三段中“The course was initially set for four years, but due to the need to balance it with his
family commitments, it took Gall o seven years to complete it. He graduated at the age of 90. (课程最初设定为四
年，但由于需要平衡他的家庭责任，他花了7 年时间才完成。他90 岁毕业。)”可知，文章主要讲述了米
格尔·安赫尔·加洛虽然一直热爱艺术，但由于家庭原因直到 83 岁才开始他的艺术之旅，经过努力在
90 岁时完成艺术课程毕业，所以“Miguel Ángel Gallo: A Late Start to Art”（米格尔·安赫尔·加洛：一
个晚开始的艺术学习者）作为标题最合适。故选B 项。
