From the earliest times,man has been interested in art.People have often worked together to collect and save the world’s art treasures.
Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre(卢浮宫)in Paris,France.The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries.It is the biggest art museum in the world.

During times of peace,new treasures were brought in.During days of war,many treasures were stolen,and the buildings were damaged.
When Francis Ⅰ became king of France in 1515,he brought in many artists from other countries.One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy.Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa is the best known painting in the museum today.

The Great Wall of China was once thought to have been built entirely during the Qin Dynasty between 221 and 207 BC;it is now believed to have been started earlier.
The 15-foot-high,25-foot-wide,1500-mile-long structure was undoubtedly built to keep out invading enemies.To the common people of the empire,who had been forced to build the wall,it was not worth it,however.The wall,and other public works completed by the Qin Dynasty,had caused great losses on the wealth and human life of the country.As a result,an angry population rose up in rebellion against the Qin Dynasty,and in 207 BC the Han Dynasty began.
Because of its rich history and magnificent appearance,the Great Wall attracts many tourists,scientists,and historians to this day and will continue to do so for generations.
5.According to the author of this passage,the Han Dynasty was able to come into power because 　　　.
A.enemies were not effectively prevented from invading the empire
B.it had started the work on the wall and really controlled it all along
C.the common people rebelled against the empire that had forced them to work on the Great Wall
D.the Qin emperor lost all his personal wealth in the creation of the Great Wall
6.The main idea of this passage is that 　　　.
A.the emperor of the Qin Dynasty was a slave driver
B.invading enemies was a problem in ancient China
C.the common people of ancient China were very poor
D.the human achievement of the Great Wall is widely appreciated
7.The author has not directly stated,but would support the opinion that 　　　.
A.Qinshihuang was not that cruel to the people during his time
B.the common people of the Qin Dynasty were the ones who provided the labor in constructing the Great Wall
C.work on the Great Wall was started before the Qin Dynasty came into existence
D.the Great Wall of China is a great human achievement and was probably worth the effort it took
C
She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever.But,at over 500 years of age,time is catching up with Mona Lisa.
The health of the famous picture,painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505,is getting worse by the year,according to the Louvre museum where it is housed.
“The thin,wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said.Visitors have noticed the changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy.Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.
Nearly 6 million people go to see Mona Lisa every year,many attracted by the mystery of her smile.“It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her,she seems to be smiling,and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University.“It’s because direct vision(视觉)is excellent at picking up detail,but less suited to looking at shadows.Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”
However,the actual history of Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile.Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him,until it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis Ⅰ in 1519.
In 1911,the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee,who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat.He said he planned to return it to Italy.The painting was sent back to France two years later.
During World War Ⅱ,French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.
Like many old ladies,Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.
8.The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means Mona Lisa 　　　.
A.is losing its value
B.is being damaged after so many years
C.is getting more valuable with years passing
D.will rot away
9.Experts haven’t any repairs on Mona Lisa because.
A.it is now in a poor chemical state
B.they don’t know how to replace the wooden panel
C.they don’t have the materials Da Vinci used
D.they are afraid it will be done further damage
10.The smile of Mona Lisa can only be seen　　　.
A.by indirect vision B.at a distance
C.by direct vision D.in shadows
11.Which of the following is TRUE about Mona Lisa
A.It was once taken away and hidden up by German forces.
B.Its painter himself loved it greatly and always kept it in a shade.
C.Mona Lisa stops smiling when you look at her wanting to see her smile.
D.King Francis Ⅰ bought it and then returned it to Italy.

1.答案D
解析卢浮宫是1793年才成为一个公共博物馆的,距今200多年。
2.答案A
解析由短文第二段第二句可以得知卢浮宫里的艺术品是由法国人民搜集来的。
3.答案C
解析由倒数第二段第一、二句可以推知,达·芬奇曾经在法国生活过。
4.答案D
解析根据文章最后一句话可知答案。
5.答案C
解析从第二段可知,汉朝能建立是由于老百姓起来反抗逼迫他们修建长城的秦朝的结果。
6.答案D
解析纵观全文,长城的建造是劳动人民血汗和智慧的结晶,它的宏大规模,它的悠久历史,它的文化价值,充分说明它是人类的伟大成就,并具有广泛的审美意义。
7.答案D
解析A项明显错误;B和C两项的内容在文章中直接提到了;只有D项是通过阅读文章
可以推断出的作者观点。
8.答案:B
解析:根据第一段的“...time is catching up with Mona Lisa.”和第三段的“The thin,wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago...”可推知,这幅画现在也受到岁月的侵蚀,也有了破损。
9.答案:D
解析:根据第三段的“Visitors have noticed the changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy.Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.”可推知专家不清楚达·芬奇所使用的原料,所以担心会把画弄坏。
10.答案:A
解析:根据第四段的“It’s because direct vision is excellent at picking up detail,but less suited to looking at shadows.Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.’”可推知,在不直视的情况下才能看到她的微笑。
11.答案:C
解析:根据第四段中的“when you’re not looking at her,she seems to be smiling,and then you look at her and she stops”可知,当你直视她的时候,她却停止微笑。故选C项。
1.答案:D
解析:与the United States相对应的形容词性物主代词为its而不是their,从而排除their。由于本句不是定语从句,故排除A项和B项。
2.答案:C
解析:由上文的“to the north”可以推出墨西哥在美国南部,应该用to。
3.答案:B
解析:本句讲的是通常情况,应用一般现在时;此处主语表示单数概念,故谓语应用第三人称单数形式。
4.答案:D
解析:由后面的数字可推知,主语指的是“人口”,并非指“人们”“面积”和“大小”。
5.答案:A
解析:上文提到美国的地理位置,此处land在此强调疆域;而state表示“州”,continent表示“大洲”,world表示“世界”,均不符合句意。分句意思是“当这片土地首次成为一个国家时”。
6.答案:D
解析:由横线后的“its independence from England”可以推知,应该是从英国的控制中赢得独立,即答案为winning。
7.答案:C
解析:one侧重数量的“一个”;some的意思是“一些,某个”;each的意思是“每一个”;而every为形容词,不能单独使用。从上文看,句意为“在美国国旗上一颗星代表一个州”,据此可排除A、B和D三项。
8.答案:A
解析:根据“As the nation...on the flag.”一句可以推知,国旗上每颗星代表一个州。star意为“星”;moon 意为“月亮”;satellite意为“卫星”;planet意为“行星”。
9.答案:A
解析:句子的主语为“All the states”,因此可把表示单数的was和is排除。再根据本段讲述的是美国的历史,因此时态为过去的时态,从而确定答案为were。
10.答案:D
解析:上文提到所有的州都在东部,可以推出,国家逐渐地向西部发展,与the eastern part形成比较。
11.答案:B
解析:根据上下文可以推出,每当有新的州加入,国旗上都要增添新的星。disappear意为“消失”;appear意为“出现”;paint意为“画画”;print意为“印刷”。
12.答案:C
解析:more除了译成“更多”之外,还有“又、另外的”之意,多置于数字的后面。此处表示“另外的两颗星”,与前面的48 stars形成比较。
13.答案:C
解析:of可以表示其前后的词或词组是同位关系,如:the city of Beijing(北京市),因此答案为C项。
14.答案:B
解析:下文提到大多数美国人都是英国人的后裔,因此可以推知此句说只有印第安人才是唯一真正的美国人。
15.答案:A
解析:通过分析句子结构可知空格后为一个定语从句修饰people,缺少一个关系代词。
16.答案:A
解析:本题考查介词在具体语境中的运用。in great numbers意为“大批地”,在结构上与first并列。
17.答案:C
解析:由下文提到的美国的语言为什么是英语及它的文化习俗更有可能是英国的文化习俗等可以知道,不能选A项Europe,因为欧洲不仅有英语,还有法语、德语等。
18.答案:A
解析:下文提到的“美国的语言和文化习俗与英国的非常相似”的原因正是上文提到的“大多数美国人是英国人的后裔”,因此该空用reason,构成for that reason(因为那个原因)。本句意思是“正是因为那个原因,美国的语言是英语,美国的文化习俗更像英国的文化习俗”。
19.答案:B
解析:根据本句中的“more like ...”可推知,此处应用than。
20.答案:A
解析:使用比较级时,在比较状语中应注意将自身排除在外;else在意义上相当于other,但else常修饰不定代词和疑问词。
答案1.busier　2.an　3.happily　4.third　5.was looking
