　　The Mona Lisa, painted by the Italian Leonardo da Vinci, has been on show for years in Paris Now, something unusual on the neck has been“seen”The necklace which the artist later painted over will be examined further by using laser (激光) to show what lies right under the surface of the finished work. This will help us understand how the artist drew the picture. Did he begin with a quick-made drawing or have second thoughts as he painted the picture?

　　This kind of knowledge will show us the famous artist at work. It may also help explain Mona Lisa's smile, which has puzzled art lovers for centuries.

[　　]

(3)We can guess that Leonardo da Vinci was born in ________ century.

D
A child who has once been pleased with a tale likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual situation of the time and the child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.
A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or making him sad thinking. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often sorry for cruelty than those who had not. As to fears, there are, I think, some cases of children being dangerously terrified by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.
There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets, etc. do not exist; and that, instead of being fond of the strange side in fairy tales, the child should be taught to learn the reality by studying history. I find such people, I must say so peculiar(奇怪的) that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.
No fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world and no clever child has ever believed that it was.
68. The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is _______.
A. repeated without any change              B. treated as a joke
C. made some changes by the parent            D. set in the present
69. The advantage claimed for repeating fairy stories to young children is that it _______.
A. makes them less fearful
B. develops their power of memory
C. makes them believe there is nothing to be afraid of
D. encourages them not to have strange beliefs
70. The author’s mention of sticks and telephones is meant to suggest that _______.
A. fairy stories are still being made up
B. there is some misunderstanding about fairy tales
C. people try to modernize old fairy stories
D. there is more concern for children's fears nowadays
71. One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that _______.
A. they are full of imagination
B. they just make up the stories which are far from the truth
C. they are not interesting
D. they make teachers of history difficult to teach

阅读下面文章，根据要求回答下列问题。

                                                 British English and American English
     Many students want to know the differences between American English and British English. Written English
is more or less the same in both Britain and America, though there are some spelling differences. For example,
the words colour, centre and travelled are spelt color, center, and traveled in American English.
     The differences in the spoken language are greater. For example, Americans say dance /dns/, and in southern
England they say /da:ns/. In America, they pronounce not./nt/, in southern England they say /not/. However,
most of the time, people from the two countries do not have any difficulty in understanding each other.
     How did these differences come from? There is no quick answer to this question. When people from England
travelled to other countries they took the English language with them. At first, the language stayed the same as
the language used in Britain, but slowly the language began to change from one part of the world.
     Sometimes, the English spoken in America or Canada or Australia changed, but sometimes the language
spoken in these places stayed the same while the language in England changed. For example, 300 years ago, the
English talked about "autumn". But Americans still talk about "fall" just as people do in some parts of western
England. In the same way Americans use the expression "I guess" (meaning "I think") just as the British did 300
years ago.
     A great many words and expressions have come into the language from American English, for example
movie, gas, store, mail, right away (at once), way of life and so on.
     American English has changed over the centuries, too. There are several reasons for this. One of the reasons
is that people travelled to America from all the European countries and from other parts of the world, too. They
started to use English, but they also brought in some words from old French. One of the States in the USA is
called "Florida". In Spanish this is "the land of flowers". There are a great many American Indian words, for
example, "to howl" means "to cry". And "cookbook" is a German word.

根据文章内容判断下列句子的对(T)与错(F)。
(     )1. There are some differences between British and American English. So people from the two countries
           can hardly understand each other when talking to each other.
(     )2. As time goes by, the English language stays the same.
(     )3. Americans usually use "fall" instead of "autumn" when they talk about the seasons.
(     )4. "Florida" means"the land of flowers" in American English.
(     )5. People who travel to the USA add more words to American English.
根据文章内容，回答下列问题。
6. Which of the following words belongs to British English: movie, gas, mail or petrol?
    _______________________________________________________________________________
7. Please give the American way of spelling of the following words: colourful, metre and traveller.
