7.Leonardo da Vinci's mother may have been a Chinese slave according to a new research by an Italian historian and novelist-Angelo Paratico,who has spent the last 20years living and working in Hong Kong,researching the links between his homeland and China over the past half century.
Mr Paratico said the documents he has uncovered during two years of research form the basis of his latest book Leonardo Da Vinci,a Chinese scholar lost in Renaissance(文艺复兴) Italy.The book,which is due to be published next year,uncovers evidence that there's a link between Da Vinci and the Far East.
Speaking to the South China Morning Post,Mr Paratico said,"I am sure that Leonardo's mother was from the East,but to make her a Chinese,we need to use a deductive method(演绎法).One wealthy client of Leonardo's father had a slave called Caterina.After Leonardo's date of birth,she disappeared from the documents.She was no longer working there."
It is believed that his mother was called Caterina,who,according to some reports,was a local peasant.But Mr Paratico's new work claims it is most likely that Da Vinci's mother was a slave.Supporting his theory,he said,"During the Renaissance,countries like Italy and Spain were full of slaves from the East."
He claimed that there were certain aspects of Da Vinci's life and works which suggest a Chinese link.For instance,he was writing with his left hand from left to right and he was also a vegetarian,which was not common.Mona Lisa is probably a portrait of his mother,as Sigmund Freud said in 1910.On the back of Mona Lisa,there is a Chinese landscape and even her face looks Chinese.
Mr Paratico said he believes the only way to solve the mystery is to dig out some of Da Vinci's relations in Florence and extract some DNA.
43.What is Mr Paratico's latest book based on?A
A.His research findings.
B.His living experience.
C.His final visit to Italy.
D.His interest in Renaissance.
44.What may suggest there is a link between Da Vinci and Chinese?B
A.His working habit.
B.His ways of writing.
C.His birth date.
D.His father's friend.
45.What can we learn about Da Vinci's mother?D
A.She was a slave of Leonardo's father.
B.She quit working after her marriage.
C.She was buried in Florence after death.
D.She was probably the model of Mona Lisa.

15.I was as normal as other children,totally exposed to brilliant sunshine and splendid world.However,I became blind at four after falling off a box car in a yard and landing on my head.Now I am thirty-two.I can slightly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is.It would be wonderful to see again,but a calamity(灾难) can do strange things to people.It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn't been blind.I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes.I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.
  Life,I believe,asks adjustments to reality.The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments,the more meaningful his own private world becomes.The adjustment is never easy.I was totally confused and frightened.But luckily,my parents and teacher saw my potential to live,and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.
  The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself.That was basic.If I hadn't been able to do that,I would have broken down and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life.When I say belief in myself,I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone,but something bigger than that:an assurance that I am,despite imperfections,a real,positive person; that somewhere in the complicated pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.
  It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance.It had to start with the simplest things.Once a man gave me an indoor baseball and urged me to roll it around.His words stuck in my head."Roll it around!"By rolling the ball I could hear where it went.This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible:playing baseball.Later I invented a successful variation of baseball-groundball.
  I have set a series of goals and tried to reach them,one at a time.It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure.I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.

1.Suddenly all the lights on that crowded underground train went out.Then it stopped in that dark tunnel(隧道).
We waited.We expected the lights to come on again soon.But nothing happened.Then I began to smell something.Yes,I could smell smoke.So I asked myself,"Is this train on fire?"People around me then began to cry out in fear."The train is on fire!"they cried.
Then the woman standing next to me suddenly fell on the floor.I realized she was overcome by the smoke.Then I saw flames appearing."If something does not happen soon,"I said to myself,"I will be burnt alive!"
But as I stood there in the dark in that crowded burning train,I could see no way to escape.I thought,"No one can save me from certain death but God.Only God can make a way for any of us to escape death in this train."
Before the flames reached me,I found the open door and I climbed out of the train into the dark tunnel.Then as quickly as I could,I ran from the burning train down the tunnel.Now as I ran I could hear hundreds of people that were locked in that burning train,crying out for help.I knew I could do nothing to help them,so I ran on.
Then for two hours I kept walking in that dark train tunnel.At last I saw a light in the distance.I asked myself"Why did God enable me to escape death?"I decided,"God must have a purpose for saving my life.He must want me to help other people experience what He could do for them."

59.Between which two paragraphs can the following paragraph be put?C
I cried,"God,if it is not my time to die,please help me!"Then I heard a noise.It was like a door opening.It was on my right hand side.So in the dark,I at once began to push my way forward to where that noise came from.
A.Between Paragraph 2and 3.
B.Between Paragraph 3and 4.
C.Between Paragraph 4and 5.
