But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the 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(卢浮宫博物馆)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 worlds 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 the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when youre 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. “Its 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 the 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 Frances 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, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.21The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means the Mona Lisa _.A. is losing its valueB. is being damaged after so many yearsC. is getting more valuable with years passingD. will rot away22Experts havent any repairs on the Mona Lisa because_.A. it is now in a poor chemical stateB. they dont know how to replace the wooden panelC .they dont have the materials Da Vinci usedD. they are afraid it will be done further damage.23The smile of the Mona Lisa can only be seen_.A. by indirect visionB. at a distanceC. by direct visionD. in shadows24From the last paragraph, we can infer that_.A. many interesting stories have been written about the Mona LisaB. people are interested in the stories about the Mona Lisa.C. some mysteries still remain to be solved about the Mona Lisa.D. Many more stories will be told about the Mona Lisa.Below is some adviee on how to prevent cancer.Eat BlueberriesAside from being a healthy and delicious snack, blueberries contain pterostilbene, which has important colon cancer-fighting prosperities. But wait, it gets better. Blueberries also offer a large dose of vitamins C (14 milligrams per cup). So at breakfast, try to take in a cup and a half of blueberries in your cereal or yogurt, or mixed with other berries.Drink Pomegranate（石榴）JuiceThe deep red juice of the pomegranate contains various chemicals, which together create a powerful anticancer mixture. Most recently, researchers from the University of Wisconsin at Madison has discovered that 16 ounces of pomegranate juice per day also may inhibit(阻碍) the growth of lung cancer.RelaxFeeling stressed or worried? Find ways to relax and you may reduce your chances of developing cancer. Purdue University researchers tracked 1,600 men over 12 years and found that half of those with high levels of worry died during the study period. Only 20 percent of the optimists died before the study were pleted, while 34 percent of the extremely anxious men died of some type of cancer. Instead of stressing about the past or future, focus on the present and relax!Take Selenium（硒）Selenium is well known for its cancer-fighting properties. In a study of almost 1,000 men, researchers from the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that when men with the lowest initial levels of selenium in their bodies received a daily supplement over a 4-year period, they cut their prostate（前列腺）cancer risk by a remarkable 92 percent. However, it is possible to get too much of a good thing, so monitor your intake of selenium-containing supplements, Brazil nuts, tuna, meats and grains carefully.Break a SweatEven a small amount of exercise can offer major cancer-fighting benefits. In a study of 29,110 men published in the International Journal of Cancer, men who exercised just once a week had a percent lower risk of prostate cancer than men who didnt work out at all. The better the frequency, duration and intensity of the exercise, the bigger the reduction in risk, according to the study.25To prevent yourself from catching colon cancer, you should eat _ as often as possible.A. selenium B. blueberriesC. pomegranates D. Vitamin D26A person is very likely to catch some type of cancer if _.A. he is very fond of exercise every day.B. he is addicted to drinkingC. he always feels extremely stressed or worriedD. he likes to have meals in restaurants27 will remarkably reduce the risk of mens prostate cancer.A.

BSurprising.CDisappointing. DInspiring.32What does the underlined word“discrepancy”in Paragraph 5 mean?ADifference. BExcellence.CPreference. DReference.Dear Guys,Id like to talk to you about the shame you subjected me to last night. Let me first refresh your memory: You, a group of fit, young men, were playing soccer on the field across from my apartment building. I, a better-than-average looking young woman, was walking along the sidewalk with my groceries. Thats when your ball came flying over the fence and landed in front of me.One of you approached and asked politely if I would throw the ball back to you. Fighting the urge to drop my bags and run screaming down the street, I reluctantly (勉强地) agreed.Before I continue, let me explain something that I didnt have a chance to mention last night: I hate sports. More specifically, I hate sports involving balls. This results from my lack of natural ability when it es to throwing, catching and hitting. Im bad at aiming too. So you can understand why Id be nervous at what Im sure seemed to you like a laughably simple request.However, wanting to appear agreeable, I put my bags down, picked up the ball and, eyes half-shut, and threw it as hard as I could.It hit the middle of the fence and bounced back to me.Trying to act casually, I said something about being out of practice, and then picked up the ball again. If youll remember, at your mand, I agreed to try throwing underhand. While outwardly I was smiling, in my head, I was praying, oh God, oh please oh please oh please. I threw the ball upward with all my strength, terrified by what happened next.The ball hit slightly higher up on the fence and bounced back to me.This is the point where I start to take issue with you. Wouldnt it have been a better use of your time, and mine, if you had just walked around the fence and took the ball then? I was clearly struggling; my smiles were more and more forced. And yet, you all just stood there, motionless.Seeing that you werent going to let me out of the trouble, I became desperate. Memories of middle school softball came flooding back. I tried hard to throw the ball but it only went about eight feet, then I decided to pick it up and dash with ball in hand towards the baseline, while annoyed thirteen-year-old boys screamed at me that I was ruining their lives. Children are cruel.Being a big girl now, I pushed those memories aside and picked up the soccer ball for the third time. I forced a good-natured laugh while crying inside as you patiently shouted words of support over the fence at me.“Throw it granny-style!” one of you said.“Just back up a little and give it all youve got!” another offered.And, most embarrassing of all, “You can do it!”I know you thought you were being encouraging, but it only served to deepen the shame.Anyway, I accepted your ball-throwing advice, backed up, rocked back and forth a little, took a deep breath and let it fly.It hit the edge of the fence and bounced back to me.I surprised myselfand Im sure you as wellby letting out a cry, “DAMN IT!” I then willed myself to have a heart attack and pass out in front of you just so Id be put out of my misery.Alas, the heart attack didnt happen, and you continued to look at me expectantly, like you were content to do this all night. I had bee a sort of exhibition for you. I could feel your collective thoughts drifting through the chain-link: “Can she really not do it? But I mean, really?”Unfortunately for you, I wasnt really game to continue your experiment. Three failed attempts at a simple task in front of a group of people in a two-minute period were just enough blows for me for one night. I picked up the ball one last time, approached the fence and grumbled, “Please just e get the damn ball.”And you did. And thanks to you, I decided at that very moment to never throw anything ever again, except disrespectful glances at people who play sports.Sincerely,Jen Cordery33The writer agreed to throw the ball because _.Ashe needed to have a relax carrying the heavy groceriesBshe wanted to refresh her childhood memoriesCshe could not refuse the polite request from the young manDshe had fallen in love with the young man at first sight34Which of the following is closet in meaning to the underlined word “game”?Aanxious Bbrave Cafraid Dcurious35Why did the writer mention her middle school memory?ATo explain why she failed the attempts to throw the ball back.BTo plain that she had not mastered the ball throwing skills.CTo show how cruel those 13-year-old boys were.DTo express her dislike towards softball.36What the boys said before the writers third attempt actually made the writer _.Ainspired Bencouraged Cawkward Ddepressed37What happened to the ball at last?AThe writer managed to throw the ball back.BThe boy got the ball back by himself.CThe writer threw the ball away out of anger.DThe boys got angry and left without the ball.38Whats the writers purpose in writing this open letter?ATo express her regret over what she did the day before.BTo announce that she would never play all games again.CTo joke on her inability to throw the ball over the fence.DTo criticize the young men for their cruelty to her dignity.三、完形填空Its a sad and familiar sentence from a beggar that we often hear.
