A

Georiga O'Keeffe always thought of herself as an artist.By 1928，the rest of the world did，too.At the age of 41 she was living in New York City and becoming a wellknown painter.Still，O'Keeffe wasn't happy.New York had been a good source of ideas for almost ten years.Now those ideas were drying up.O'Keeffe felt like she needed a change.She had visited New Mexico in 1917 with her sister.The wide open space had thrilled her.“Maybe I should go back，” she thought.In April of 1929，O'Keeffe packed her bags.

The wide open space of New Mexico drew O'Keeffe in.She spent hours just watching the sky change.Because the light was so clear，she felt like she could see for the first time.The beauty of the land renewed her.She couldn't wait to start painting.Cow and horse

skulls and desert flowers filled her canvases(画布).The colors of the desert inspired O'Keeffe.As a result，she made new choices in her artwork.“The color up there is different，”she explained.She loved the dusty blues and greens.

That August，O'Keeffe went home to New York.It was the start of a pattern.Each spring，she traveled to New Mexico to paint.These trips restored her spirit.Then，in the fall，she would return to New York.There，she showed her work.Each time O'Keeffe visited New Mexico，she explored a little more.

The bleached animal bones and skulls that O'Keeffe found excited her because she could see their special beauty.The bones didn't mean death to O'Keeffe.To her，they showed the lasting beauty of the desert.The landscapes，clear light，and bright colors also spoke to her.She often painted closeups of the rocks and mountains.Later，she began to travel more in search of new ideas.However，she always came back to New Mexico.

As O'Keeffe grew older，her eyesight began to fail.Still，O'Keeffe wasn't ready to give up.Her friend Juan Hamilton helped her work with watercolors.He also taught her to sculpt.As a result，she made art into her 90s.When she died at the age of 98，Hamilton

sprinkled her ashes over the desert.Her body became part of the land that had touched her art and her life.

[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了画家乔治亚奥基夫每年春天都从纽约出发到新墨西哥州的沙漠里挖掘艺术灵感的故事。

A　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“New York had been a good source of ideas for almost ten years.Now those ideas were drying up.”可知，近十年来，纽约一直是一个很好的创意来源。现在，这些想法正在枯竭，由此可知，1928年，乔治亚奥基夫在纽约生活得并不开心是因为她缺乏创造性的想法，故A项正确。
