Who was the most talented person that ever lived? It might be Leonardo da Vinci. The Italian was a painter, sculptor (雕塑家) and inventor. This year, we celebrated his 566th birthday on April 15th.

Da Vinci is still widely considered as one of the greatest painters. His most famous painting, the Mona Lisa which still sits in the Louvre Museum (卢浮宫), is one of the greatest art works of the world.

The Mona Lisa is famous for the mysterious(神秘的) smile. What is the reason for the woman’s smile? This is a question always asked, but it remains unanswered to this day.

Some believe that the Mona Lisa is actually a portrait (肖像) of Da Vinci himself! This is because some of her expressions on the face are similar to those in one of Da Vinci’s self-portraits. Others might suggest she smiles because she has lost her teeth! We will never know for sure… It is just fun to guess!

But the new research from scientists showed that some people even think she isn’t smiling but looks unhappy. The scientists also said that if Mona Lisa doesn’t look happy to you, it might be because of your own feelings.

The researchers showed 43 people two groups of pictures. Group One all had neutral(中性的) faces. Group Two had happy and angry faces. Each time, people saw two pictures, one from Group One, the other from Group Two. Later, they described what the neutral faces were like. When people saw a neutral face after a happy face, most of them thought it was smiling. When they saw a neutral face after a sad face, most of them thought it had a sad expression. Scientists believe our brain has predictive (预测性的) power. People use their past experiences to predict what they are going to experience next.

“________” said Erika Siegel, one of the researchers. “However, if you see the Mona Lisa after you have great fun, you can see her beautiful smile.”

B.If you see the Mona Lisa after you fail your exam, you may think she is sad.

A.①②;③④;⑤⑥⑦B.①;②③④⑤⑥;⑦C.①②③④;⑤⑥;⑦D.①②;③④⑤;⑥⑦

【解析】

文章介绍了世界上最伟大的艺术作品之一《蒙娜丽莎》，主要是针对其微笑不同的人有不同的看法感受，并且研究人员做了一些实验来验证这一点。

【1】细节理解题。根据文中Da Vinci is still widely considered as one of the greatest painters.可知，达芬奇仍然被广泛认为是最伟大的画家之一，故选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据文中Some believe that the Mona Lisa is actually a portrait (肖像) of Da Vinci himself! This is because some of her expressions on the face are similar to those in one of Da Vinci’s self-portraits.可知，有人认为蒙娜丽莎实际上是达芬奇本人的肖像！这是因为她脸上的一些表情与达芬奇的一幅自画像中的表情相似，故选C。

【3】推理判断题。根据文中However, if you see the Mona Lisa after you have great fun, you can see her beautiful smile.” 不过，如果你在玩得开心之后看到蒙娜丽莎，你可以看到她美丽的笑容。可知这里说的是看到蒙娜丽莎的感受，应该是相反的一面，也就是如果不开心的话会怎么样，故选B。

【4】推理判断题。根据文中The scientists also said that if Mona Lisa doesn’t look happy to you, it might be because of your own feelings.以及第六段的调查结果可知，如果你在和朋友们愉快地交谈后看到蒙娜丽莎，你会看到她的微笑，所以D选项是正确的，故选D。

【5】篇章结构题。根据文章的介绍可知看出，文章第一二段主要是介绍达芬奇和他的最著名的作品之一《蒙娜丽莎》，而第三四段主要是介绍有关蒙娜丽莎的面部表情的事情，然后接下来文章就这个表情做出的一些研究调查，所以文章结构A选项是符合的，故选A。

【题目】

Imagine waking up at the age of six and discovering your family is missing! That’s what happened to young Charles Mulli in his Kenyan hut one morning. He soon realized he had been abandoned(抛弃) by his very poor parents and seven siblings!

The child was forced to become a street beggar in order to make a living. Living a poor and hopeless life, he still dreamed of being an important man someday.

When Mulli turned 16, he walked for three days to Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, in search of work.

In the years that followed, he tried many difficult jobs.

Mulli saved his money and bought a car, which he began using as a taxi in 1971. In time, he started a transportation service. The company, called “Mullyways,” became quite successful. Mulli then went on to become the owner of an oil company.

All of his hard work turned Mulli into a millionaire and an important man. Yet his life would soon take another dramatic turn.

Mulli was becoming painfully aware of the growing number of homeless children in Kenya. Their faces were a haunting reminder of his own childhood. One day Mulli told his wife and children that he was to devote his life to taking care of street kids.

Soon the Mulli House was filled with 100 orphans( 孤 儿 ), but that was just the beginning! In 1989, Mulli and his wife opened the Mulli Children’s Family (MCF). They provided children with food, clothes, medical care and an education. Most importantly, they offered something many of the kids had never experienced--parental love. In fact, the Mullis chose the name “Mully Children’s Family” because their emphasis was on providing a family.

So far, MCF has helped more than 12,000 children through its MCF homes and community-based centers.

In evaluating his life, Mulli once said, “I believe you can make a difference to the world, one child at a time. As a child, I wanted to be important, but where I am now is important for mankind.”
