21、   The earliest known copy of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa—thought to have been painted at the same time as the original masterpiece—has been discovered at the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. The work offers art-lovers an attractive clue to what the model for the world’s most famous painting really looked like. Controllers of the museum found the picture hidden beneath layers of paints during restoration work on a picture initially thought to have been a later replica(exact copy) of the Mona Lisa.

The restored version shows the same woman that Leonardo depicted (描画), against a landscape similar to that shown in the background of the original, which now hangs in the Louvre in Paris. And while the features of Leonardo’s Mona Lisa have been dulled by centuries of dirt and layers of cracked paints—which are unlikely ever to be removed—in the recently-rediscovered copy, she appears fresher-faced and younger than her better-known “twin”.

News of the find was revealed at a meeting at London’s National Gallery, linked to its “Leonardo da Vinci: Painter at the Court of Milan” exhibition. “This sensational (轰动的) find will transform our understanding of the world’s most famous picture,” the Art Newspaper reported, adding that the clues found on the Madrid version suggest that the original and the copy were begun at the same time and painted next to each other, as the work went on.

Miguel Falomir, manager of Italian painting at the Prado, told reporters that expert analysis suggested a strong link between Leonardo and the artist who painted the copy. “The painting was done in the painter’s own workshop,” he said. “It is absolutely consistent with Leonardo’s work, but Leonardo didn’t actually do any work on it himself.”

【1】Which of the following is TRUE about the new version of the Mona Lisa?

A.It was a restored version by Leonardo.

B.It was painted much later than the original version.

C.It is better preserved than the original one.

D.It has been dulled by layers of cracked paints.

【2】We can learn from the third paragraph that ________.

A.the new version of the Mona Lisa went on display at a meeting.

B.there would be two versions of the Mona Lisa at the exhibition.

C.Leonardo was made to paint with another painter meanwhile.

D.the new finding affects the understanding of the original version.

【3】What can we infer from the text?

A.The artist painted the copy in his home.

B.The artist who painted the copy must have been Leonardo’s student.

C.The artist finished painting the copy under Leonardo’s guidance.

D.The artist who painted the copy had close relation with Leonardo.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A.The Prado Museum has discovered the earliest copy of the Mona Lisa.

B.The Prado Museum restored the earliest copy of the Mona Lisa.

C.The Prado Museum displayed the recently-rediscovered copy of the Mona Lisa in Spain.

D.The Prado Museum offers art-lovers a better understanding of Leonardo.

22、   Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.

Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.

There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, .sleep well and have better weight control.

Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modem sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.

【1】Which of the following is resource-hungry sport?

A. Swimming in ocean. B. Cycling in a gym.

C. Running on a running machine. D. Playing golf outdoors.

【2】Which of the following words can best show how to make our choice of sport?

A. Fit. B. Green.

C. Friendly. D. Free.

【3】How does the author prove his idea?

C. Go Green While Doing Sports.

D. Effects of Sports on Environment.
