His works were not a until after his death.——青夏教育精英家教网—

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　Famous centenarians(百岁老人)still active in arts, science are in no mood to retire．"Those who stand still, die, " is one of Oliveira's favorite phrases．He knows from experience what it means, as the Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession．Every year, Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project．"You have to work, work, work in order to forget that death is not far away, " he said．When asked about his age, Oliveira said with some humility："It's down to mother nature．It gave to me what it took from others．"

　　Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to do with character．Not every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to train the brain are essential for senior citizens．

　　Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer(103), Nobel laureate Montalcini(101)and director Kurt Maetzig(100), Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of a listless elderly generation．

　　Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer．The 103-year-old Brazilian is best known for his futuristic-looking(未来派的)buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the poor．"The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few, " said Niemeyer recently．He spends almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on ideas：After a gallbladder(胆囊)operation he composed a samba tune(桑巴舞曲)in the clinic．

　　Another man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters．The Dutch-born opera singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works．Recently Heesters said："I want to be at least 108-years-old．" He also plans to keep performing．"Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?" Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is looking for a "good stage role"．

　　Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and is still active in medical science, has described the force that keeps driving her on："Progress is created through imperfection．" In 1986 she and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor．She's convinced that humans grow on challenges．

　　With so many brilliant examples given, we can see clearly that age is no barrier to some high achievers．

Many famous painters worked in Antwerp during the city’s period of greatest power but Peter Paul Rubens is undoubtedly the most famous one of them. Known as Rubens House, the palace-like residence(大宅) and studio where Rubens worked and lived from 1616 until his death in 1640 is now one of Antwerp’s most visited museums.

Almost all of the works Rubens and his students created in the Rubens House have been dispersed (分散) over major museums across the whole world, but there is still an impressive collection well worth the visit. Besides paintings form the master himself you will find other works of art and furniture of the 17th century as well as paintings from his students, including works by Jacob Jordaens and Anthony Van Dyck.

The Rubens House was not only a studio but also a meeting place for the rich and famous. His clients(委托人) included wealthy merchants, diplomats, and there were also many noblemen who often visited his studio to see how work progressed. The Rubens House even had a special viewing area which allowed visitors to see the artists at work.

Ruben bought the house at the beginning of the 17th century after his eight-year-long stay in Italy. Influenced by Italian architecture, he rebuilt the building into an Italian-styled palace with a beautiful garden and moved in the house in 1616.

After his death the building was sold. New owners modified the building greatly and by 1937, when the building was purchased by the city of Antwerp, it hardly resembled the original structure.

The impressive entrance hall, which connected the studio and the residence, is one of the few parts that survived. Other parts have been carefully restored and reconstructed after original plans and paintings of the house.

As a museum, the Rubens House is popular because ________.

A. it lies in the famous city of Antwerp

B. it holds all the works by Rubens and his students

C. there are many people who enjoy visiting it

D. Rubens, a great artist, lived and worked there

We can learn from the third paragraph that ________.

A. the Rubens House was popular with upper-class people

B. the Rubens House was the best studio in its time

C. Rubens’s students included noblemen and diplomats

D. people were not allowed to view the artists working

What can be inferred from the text?

A. Thanks to its great painters, Antwerp became a rich city.

B. Ruben possibly showed strong interest in Italian buildings.

C. Antwerp must be a historical city in Italy.

D. The Rubens House was completely rebuilt before 1937.

Which of the following is TRUE, according to the text?

A. Rubens created his works by working with his students.

B. A beautiful garden was added to the Rubens House by new owners.

C. Today’s Rubens House looks like its original structure.

D. The Rubens House is decorated with furniture of the 17th century.
