二、阅读理解

She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year,

according to the Louvre museum(卢浮宫博物馆)where it is housed.

―The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,‖ the museum said. Visitors have noticed the changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.

Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. ―It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,‖ said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. ―It’s because direct vision(视觉)is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.‖

However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis I in 1519. In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat. He said he planned to return it to Italy. The painting was sent back to France two years later.

During World War II, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces. Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.

21．The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means the Mona Lisa ________.

D. they are afraid it will be done further damage.

23．The smile of the Mona Lisa can only be seen_______.

Below is some adviee on how to prevent cancer.

Eat Blueberries

Aside from being a healthy and delicious snack, blueberries contain pterostilbene, which has important colon cancer-fighting prosperities. But wait, it gets better. Blueberries also offer a large dose of vitamins C (14 milligrams per cup). So at breakfast, try to take in a cup and a half of blueberries in your cereal or yogurt, or mixed with other berries.

Drink Pomegranate（石榴）Juice

The deep red juice of the pomegranate contains various chemicals, which together create a powerful anticancer mixture. Most recently, researchers from the University of Wisconsin at Madison has discovered that 16 ounces of pomegranate juice per day also may inhibit(阻碍) the growth of lung cancer.

Relax

Feeling stressed or worried? Find ways to relax and you may reduce your chances of developing cancer. Purdue University researchers tracked 1,600 men over 12 years and found that half of those with high levels of worry died during the study period. Only 20 percent of the optimists died before the study were completed, while 34 percent of the extremely anxious men died of some type of cancer. Instead of stressing about the past or future, focus on the present and relax!

Take Selenium（硒）

Selenium is well known for its cancer-fighting properties. In a study of almost 1,000 men, researchers from the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that when men with the lowest initial levels of selenium in their bodies received a daily supplement over a 4-year period, they cut their prostate（前列腺）cancer risk by a remarkable 92 percent. However, it is possible to get too much of a good thing, so monitor your intake of selenium-containing supplements, Brazil nuts, tuna, meats and grains carefully.

Break a Sweat

Even a small amount of exercise can offer major cancer-fighting benefits. In a study of 29,110 men published in the International Journal of Cancer, men who exercised just once a week had a percent lower risk of prostate cancer than men who didn’t work out at all. The better the frequency, duration and intensity of the exercise, the bigger the reduction in risk, according to the study.

25．To prevent yourself from catching colon cancer, you should eat ____ as often as possible.

A. selenium B. blueberries

C. pomegranates D. Vitamin D

26．A person is very likely to catch some type of cancer if ______.

A. he is very fond of exercise every day.

B. he is addicted to drinking

C. he always feels extremely stressed or worried

D. he likes to have meals in restaurants

27．will remarkably reduce the risk of men’s prostate cancer.

A. Having a proper supplement of selenium

B. Drinking a cup of pomegranate juice every day

C. Breathing fresh air now and then

D. Taking exercise at least once a week

28． If you want to keep cancer away, it is very important to ______.

A. have a daily supplement of vitamins B and C

B. try to ignore the secondhand smoking

C. take in as much selenium as possible

D. have exercise as often as possible

Depression is much higher amongst female bosses than male bosses，a new US survey finds.Dr Tetyana Pudrovska，the study's first author，explained：―Women with job authority－the ability to hire，fire，and influence pay－have greatly more symptoms of depression than women without this power.But men with job authority have fewer symptoms of depression than men without such power.‖

The study followed 1，500 middle-aged women and 1，300 middle-aged men who all graduated from high

“The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said.

No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.

All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is finally, the most telling "interpretation" of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting （背诵） it.

I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than "analyzing" it, if there isn't time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is "a criticism of life", and "a heightening （提升） of life". It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.

I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don't like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those, who do teach poetry must keep in mind 31. According to the passage，to have a better understanding of a poem，the best way is_____. .

A.to hear it read out

B.to discuss it with others

C.to analyze it by oneself

D.o practice reading it aloud

32. The best explanation for the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 should be______. .

A.we should end the analyzing of the poem by reading it aloud

B.we feel the original meaning of the author by hearing the poem read aloud after discussion

C.students should read the poem at the end of poem class

D.sometimes the sound of the poem represents the meaning of it

33. What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply (暗示)?

A.The teaching of poetry is more important than the teaching of any other subject.

B.The teaching of poetry should have been much more stressed.

C.One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.

D.Poetry is the foundation of all languages and literature courses.

34.The underlined phrase “make room” in the last paragraph can be best replaced by “ ”．

A.build a booth

B.provide equipment

C.set aside enough space

D.leave a certain amount of time

35.Which is NOT true of the following according to the passage?

A.The writer thinks reading a poem aloud is much less important than “analyzing” it.

C.A poem should be discussed or “analyzed”．

B.All discussions of poetry are preparations for reading it aloud.

D.The writer thinks that teachers must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as wellas thinking about it while teaching poetry.

The heavy rain began at mid-night. The people of Jackson, Ohio awoke to the sound and then went back to sleep. The next day the rain continued, and the water began to rise.

made Easter baskets from shoe-boxes and filled them with candy and toys as well as toothpaste,soap,and shampoo.

She and I put the Easter baskets into her mom’s car. On the trip, I wondered what I would see and I felt nervous when we arrived. No carpet, furniture, plumbing or appliances remained. Knowing that only days ago this had been someone's home pained my heart.

We drove from house to house, knocking on doors, ready to begin our mission. I wonder :would families who had been by floodwater want an Easter basket? Their faces lit up as they opened their gifts. As we entered one home and gave the gift to a couple, the man opened the box and began to cry. "I can't believe those kids did this. Let me give you some money for their school." As I glanced at what was left in this home, I could not believe his generous spirit. He finally agreed to write a thank-you note instead.

My heart was warmed as I played the small role of messenger in his tribute to the goodness of the human spirit. So often we hear of the shortcomings of youth, but these youngsters answered a cry for help with their generosity and love .

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s，we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap, and drove a white truck. As a five-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer(硬币兑换器) fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery, and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.
