Leonardo Da Vinci is most famous for his paintings, especially the Mona Lisa. The woman in the painting is best-known for her mysterious smile. But who was she?

Experts say she was Lisa di Antonio Maria di Noldo Gherardini, the third wife of a nobleman (贵族) from Florence. He invited Leonardo to paint the portrait (肖像画). Leonardo started to work on this painting in 1503. At this time "Mona Lisa" was 24 years old. He worked on the portrait for the next four years. However, Leonardo didn’t sell the painting; and when he left Florence in 1507, he kept it for himself. Why? Several believe it was because he had never managed to finish it on time, while others say he had fallen in love with the painting.

The Mona Lisa spent the next few hundred years traveling around the world. Leonardo finally sold the painting to King Francis I of France, who put it in his castle at Amboise. After the French revolution, the painting ended up in the Louvre. Napoleon took it away from there and hung it up in his bedroom. When Napoleon was driven away, the Mona Lisa returned once again to the Louvre. On 21 st August, 1911, the Mona Lisa was stolen by an Italian thief, who took the painting to Italy. It appeared two years later in Florence and was taken back to the Louvre. An acid (酸) attack in 1956 damaged the lower half of the painting, and the repair work took several years. In the 60s and 70s, the Mona Lisa was on show in New York, Tokyo and Moscow.

Today the painting is behind bullet-proof glass in the Louvre once again, and is no longer allowed to travel. Her journeys are over.

1. What can we learn about the Mona Lisa from paragraph two?

A. Leonardo Da Vinci finished the painting when he was 24 years old.

B. Leonardo Da Vinci kept the painting for himself due to his love for it.

C. It was probably a portrait of the young wife of a nobleman from Florence.

D. A young woman from Florence asked Leonardo Da Vinci to draw the painting.

2. What happened to the Mona Lisa after Leonardo finally sold it?

A. It was sent to the Louvre immediately after that.

B. An acid attack took people two years to repair it.

C. Napoleon once took it from the Louvre for himself.

D. It has been on show around the world since the 1960s.

3. The passage is probably taken from ________.

A. a magazine B. a news report C. a travel brochure D. a science book

B

When I was in school, I participated in an internship (实习期) with a hospital chaplain (牧师). This largely included me visiting certain hospital patients and then discussing the communication with the chaplain.

I had no special training in this, and introducing myself to strangers was not my natural talent. On one visit, I cautiously entered a darkened room to find an elderly man lying lonely in the bed. He was awake, but very weak, confused and anxious. He badly wanted to communicate something, but I couldn’t understand what he was saying. He obviously didn’t want me to leave, but I felt so lost and uncomfortable that I had to leave the room after only several minutes.

The next time I was at the hospital, I was arranged to make follow-up visits with the same list of patients. I expected my time with the old man to be just as short as the last time. As I arrived at the room, the first thing I noticed was that the lights were on. His daughter was there visiting him. He was sitting in the bed and looked much better. I was certain the man didn’t remember me at all, but he recognized me immediately, saying, "I remember you. You were the angel that gave me hope in my darkest hour!" I was so amazed that I didn’t know how to respond.

    I may never be able to explain it, but somehow he found in me something he needed at an important point in his life, just because I was there. I have thought about this encounter (相遇) often over the past 25 years. It has shaped the way I see life, the way I see myself, and the way I see others. Obviously, we can’t know the effect our actions, or even just our presence, will have on life.

4. Why did the writer leave the elderly man soon on the first visit?

A. They had a short and boring conversation.

B. The elderly man wanted to stay by himself.

C. The writer was frightened by the elderly man.

D. The writer didn’t know what he could do to help.

5. What happened on the writer’s second visit to the elderly man?

A. The elderly man’s condition turned much better.

B. The elderly man could hardly remember the writer.

C. The writer planned to communicate more deeply with the elderly man.

D. The writer wasn’t surprised at being called an angel by the elderly man.

6. The elderly man regarded the writer as his angel most probably because _______.

A. he was encouraged by the writer’s words

B. the writer’s second visit moved him deeply

C. he was impressed by the writer’s friendliness

D. the writer’s first visit gave him much strength

7. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Getting a New Talent. B. An Angel by Accident.

C. Saving a Lonely Old Man. D. Communication Makes Life Better.

C

The common use of Google Maps, a navigation (导航) app on smartphones, raises the age-old question we meet with any technology: What skills are we losing? But also, importantly: What abilities are we getting?

People who are good at finding their way around or good at using paper maps are usually confused about digital (数字的) maps. For example, they may mess up the direction of north and south. But consider what digital navigation apps have meant for someone like me. Although I travel often, I’m so terrible at finding my way that I still use Google Maps almost every day where I have lived for many years. What seems unnecessary to some has been an important part of my own abilities.

Part of the problem is that reading paper maps requires a special skill set. There is nothing natural about them. In many developed nations, street names and house numbers are meaningful, and instructions such as "go north for three blocks and then west" are usually understandable. In Istanbul, however, where I grew up, none of those hold true. For one thing, the locals hardly use street names, and house numbers often aren’t sequential. After buildings 1,2 and 3 were built, someone might put in another house between 1 and 2, and that’s 4. Therefore, instructions as simple as "go north" would require a helicopter. I got lost all the time.

But since I used Google Maps, I travel with a lot more confidence. As a result, my world has opened up and my native navigation skills have improved, too.

That brings me back to my question: while we often lose some skills after seeking convenience from technology, this new setup may also allow us to gain more abilities and do something more confidently. Maybe when technology closes a door, we should also look for the doors it opens.

8. What do we know about Google Maps from the first two paragraphs?

A. It confuses users like the writer.

B. It helps people read maps better.

C. It is a technology welcomed by all.

D. It is popular but brings doubts as well.

9. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “sequential” in Paragraph 3?

A. In a usual order. B. Easily noticed. C. of the same kind. D. Clearly written.

10. What’s the writer’s main purpose of writing the passage?

A To introduce the use of Google Maps.

B. To share his opinions on Google Maps.

C. To show the influence of Google Maps.

D. To tell the great popularity of Google Maps.
