Ⅰ.七选五

(2023山东菏泽市一中测试)Leonardo da Vinci is often thought of mainly as an artist，with world-famous works like The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa.__1__ But his notebooks，filled with his strange writing，show that his main interests were in engineering and technology.

__2__ If his pioneering work on anatomy (解剖学) is also taken into consideration，it is not hard to see why Leonardo is considered to be one of the greatest geniuses of all time.

Born in 1452 to a Florentine lawyer and a local village girl，Leonardo was given only a very basic education.After ten years in the workshop of the artist Verrocchio，he began to work for himself.The work he did shows an unbelievable combination of technical skill and very careful observation.__3__

At the age of thirty，he left his hometown and moved to Milan，where he spent seventeen years working for the Duke of Milan.__4__ In fact，his painting was increasingly influenced by his interest in mathematics.During this period，he painted The Last Supper and developed his ideas for chemical weapons(化学武器).

In 1506 he returned to Milan and became increasingly interested in science.__5__ He also studied many other animals，comparing their bodies to the human bodies.From then on，Leonardo spent the rest of his life mainly on his scientific studies.

Ⅱ. 应用文写作

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Thank you.

One possible version：

Hello, everyone!

Among all the foreign travellers，my favourite is Marco Polo，a famous Italian traveller who travelled along the ancient Silk Road to China in the 13th century.

He lived in China for 17 years，visiting many parts of China and was amazed to find how beautiful and powerful China was. He introduced Chinese culture and scientific inventions to other parts of the world.

In my opinion，Marco Polo was really a great traveller，whose mission was to promote the exchange of different cultures and spread the seeds of civilisation.

Thank you.
