4、 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 worlds most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian ar
5、tist used and their current (现在的 ) 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 youre not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Marga
6、ret Livingstone of Harvard University. “Its because direct vision (视觉) is excellent at picking up details, 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
7、that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to the king of France, 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

11、nted the smile.D. It plays a trick upon the human eye.B To us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But in fact the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun.Nobody knows who first invented it, but
12、 the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the eleventh century B.CWe know that the umbrella was also used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and p
13、ower. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office or by royal people such as the kings or queens.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed tha
14、t the first persons in Europe to use the umbrellas as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the middle ages in Europe, the use of the umbrella most disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it became a symbol of power.Umbrellas have n

18、on of the umbrella D. The differences among umbrellasCWe all know the hard work that filmmakers and actors put in to provide us with entertainment, but it seems that even regular moviegoers like us have a big impact on how a movie turns out too. For decades now, film studios have used so-called test
19、 screenings (试映) to get feedback from members of the public before a movie comes out.While test audience members are usually asked to fill in a questionnaire after a screening, telling the film studio what they liked and didnt like, media giant Disney has come up with a more high-tech solution.Accor
20、ding to a paper published this summer by the companys researchers, Disney is measuring test audiences reactions (反应) by using special cameras placed inside cinemas. Pairing the cameras with custom (定制的) software, the company can track what each audience member is feeling at any point in the movie, f
21、rom anger to joy. This works by mapping 68 different points on each audience members face. The cameras can see in the dark, and the software can figure out a persons mood based on the slightest of facial expressions.It is hoped that this new method will allow more detailed feedback from test audienc
22、es. Rather than relying on audience members to recall their feelings after the movies over, it can accurately read their reactions in real-time.Test screenings are highly valued in the movie industry, and several well- known movies have been greatly altered following feedback. Viewers of E.T. the Ex
23、tra-Terrestrial (1982) would have left the cinema feeling a whole lot differently if it werent for its test audiences feedback.“In one cut of the film that was tested, E.T. died instead of going home in his spaceship. You wont be surprised to hear that the test audience in question didnt warm to thi
24、s ending at all,” wrote media website Den of Geek.But for those of us who are concerned about privacy, the cameras wont be installed in public cinemas. After all, unless youre part of a test audience, being in front of the cam era is best left to the movie stars.28. What is the main advantage that t
25、he cameras have over questionnaires?A. They protect the audiences privacy better.B. They allow the audience to recall their feelings more easily.C. They are able to record the audiences mood accurately on the spot.D. They can help audience members adjust their mood with custom software.29. With the
26、example of E.T. the extra-Terrestrial (1982), the author intends to .A. show the significance of test screeningsB. emphasize the importance of altering a movieC. show what kind of endings are better received by viewersD. explain what kind of feedback could be accepted in test screenings30. What does
27、 the underlined word “alter” mean?A. prefer B. changeC. predict D. adopt31. What is the authors attitude towards the cameras Disney researchers are using?A. Positive B. IndifferentC. Negative D. NeutralDThe latest study by the University of Florida has found that eating from smaller, less beautiful,
28、 and even paper plates will help prevent overeating. Eating with a fork instead of a spoon can help you lose weight, the researchers say. Much to their surprise, they find that putting mirrors in the dining room will also help reduce weight.The researchers asked 185 college students to choose a choc
29、olate cake or a fruit salad, and evaluated the taste. Those who ate in a room with a mirror scored the taste of junk food much lower than those in a room without a mirror. But the taste of fruit salad remained the same in any case.Lead scientist, Dr. Ata Jami, says that a glance in the mirror tells
30、people more than just about their physical appearance. It enables them to view themselves objectively (客观地) and helps them to judge themselves and their behavior in the same way that they judge other people.The mirrors were found to push people to compare and match their own behavior with accepted s
31、ocial standards. The researchers believe it proves that people dont want to look in the mirror when they feel they are following the social standards. When they look in the mirror with mouths full of junk food, feelings of discomfort and failure can be increased. Therefore, the presence of the mirro
32、r lowers the taste of unhealthy food.However, researchers say this is only the case if people select the food they are eating, because they are responsible for that choice. The researchers suggest that mirrors be placed in dining rooms and other eating spaces, so that people will start eating more h
33、ealthily.32. Researchers are amazed to find that _.A. paper plates make food look nicerB. people using a fork will eat moreC. mirrors can help people lose weightD. people will eat more in front of a mirror33.

34、uired to eat with a spoon.C. People preferred a chocolate cake to a fruit salad.D. The mirror may not affect the taste of healthy food.34. According to Dr. Ata Jami, the mirror _.A. makes people judge others correctlyB. makes people well judge themselvesC. is a necessary part of peoples daily lifeD.

By attracting people to healthy food.D. By causing a feeling of discomfort.第 二 节 (共 5 小 题 ;每 小 题 2 分 ,满 分 10 分 )根 据 短 文 内 容 ,从 短 文 后 的 选 项 中
