Question

【題目】

Who was the most talented person that ever lived? It might be Leonardo da Vinci. The Italian was a painter, sculptor (雕塑家) and inventor. This year, we celebrated his 566th birthday on April 15th.

Da Vinci is still widely considered as one of the greatest painters. His most famous painting, the Mona Lisa which still sits in the Louvre Museum (盧浮宮), is one of the greatest art works of the world.

The Mona Lisa is famous for the mysterious(神秘的) smile. What is the reason for the woman’s smile? This is a question always asked, but it remains unanswered to this day.

Some believe that the Mona Lisa is actually a portrait (肖像) of Da Vinci himself! This is because some of her expressions on the face are similar to those in one of Da Vinci’s self-portraits. Others might suggest she smiles because she has lost her teeth! We will never know for sure… It is just fun to guess!

But the new research from scientists showed that some people even think she isn’t smiling but looks unhappy. The scientists also said that if Mona Lisa doesn’t look happy to you, it might be because of your own feelings.

The researchers showed 43 people two groups of pictures. Group One all had neutral(中性的) faces. Group Two had happy and angry faces. Each time, people saw two pictures, one from Group One, the other from Group Two. Later, they described what the neutral faces were like. When people saw a neutral face after a happy face, most of them thought it was smiling. When they saw a neutral face after a sad face, most of them thought it had a sad expression. Scientists believe our brain has predictive (預(yù)測(cè)性的) power. People use their past experiences to predict what they are going to experience next.

“________” said Erika Siegel, one of the researchers. “However, if you see the Mona Lisa after you have great fun, you can see her beautiful smile.”

【解析】

文章介紹了世界上最偉大的藝術(shù)作品之一《蒙娜麗莎》，主要是針對(duì)其微笑不同的人有不同的看法感受，并且研究人員做了一些實(shí)驗(yàn)來驗(yàn)證這一點(diǎn)。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中Da Vinci is still widely considered as one of the greatest painters.可知，達(dá)芬奇仍然被廣泛認(rèn)為是最偉大的畫家之一，故選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中Some believe that the Mona Lisa is actually a portrait (肖像) of Da Vinci himself! This is because some of her expressions on the face are similar to those in one of Da Vinci’s self-portraits.可知，有人認(rèn)為蒙娜麗莎實(shí)際上是達(dá)芬奇本人的肖像！這是因?yàn)樗�臉上的一些表情與達(dá)芬奇的一幅自畫像中的表情相似，故選C。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中However, if you see the Mona Lisa after you have great fun, you can see her beautiful smile.” 不過，如果你在玩得開心之后看到蒙娜麗莎，你可以看到她美麗的笑容�？芍�這里說的是看到蒙娜麗莎的感受，應(yīng)該是相反的一面，也就是如果不開心的話會(huì)怎么樣，故選B。

【4】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中The scientists also said that if Mona Lisa doesn’t look happy to you, it might be because of your own feelings.以及第六段的調(diào)查結(jié)果可知，如果你在和朋友們愉快地交談后看到蒙娜麗莎，你會(huì)看到她的微笑，所以D選項(xiàng)是正確的，故選D。

【5】篇章結(jié)構(gòu)題。根據(jù)文章的介紹可知看出，文章第一二段主要是介紹達(dá)芬奇和他的最著名的作品之一《蒙娜麗莎》，而第三四段主要是介紹有關(guān)蒙娜麗莎的面部表情的事情，然后接下來文章就這個(gè)表情做出的一些研究調(diào)查，所以文章結(jié)構(gòu)A選項(xiàng)是符合的，故選A。
