试题分析：曾经纽约有一个小男孩叫山姆。他四岁开始画画，五岁擅长画画。他的画非常漂亮，许多人买他的画。他的画与众不同之处在于他从不画满整张画纸，只是一半。大家都说这个做法很聪明，没有画家这么做过。有人问他为什么这么做，他说是因为不够高。 小题1:根据 Once there was a boy in New York. 可以判断他住在纽约，所以是美国。 小题2:根据and when he was five, he was already very good at it.可以判断他五岁擅长画画。 小题3:根据He painted many beautiful pictures, and a lot of people bought his pictures .可以判断他画的画都卖出去了。 小题4:根据Sam’s pictures were different from other people’s because he never painted on all of paper. He painted on half of it, and the other half was always empty.可以判断他的画与众不同。 小题5:根据“ Because I’m short,” Sam said, “ and my brushes can’t reach very high.”可知是因为它不够高。
