The different colors were created by adding no, little or lots of milk to each cup of black coffee. The recreated Mona Lisa measured 20 feet long and 13 feet wide. It took a team of eight people three hours to complete the work. It was created for The Rocks Aroma Festival in Sydney, Australia, and seen by 130,000 people who attended the one-day coffee-lovers event. Elaine Kelly, one of the organizers from the Sydney Harbor Foreshore Authority, was delighted with the result. She said, “Each coffee cup was filled with different amounts of milk to create the different shades(色度) of the painting. We wanted to create a surprise and a sense of fun in the way we communicated with the public.” “Once we had the idea of creating an image(像) out of coffee cups we searched for something iconic（有代表性的）to reproduce(复制).And after some time we chose the most iconic painting in history. The Mona Lisa has been reproduced so many times in so many different mediums but, as far as we know, never out of coffee,” Kelly continued. “Besides, the idea is practical.” “It was fantastic. It really looked like the famous paintingthe Mona Lisa. It was wonderful,” said one visitor. After much planning it was great to see it coming together so well and the 130,000 people who attended the event certainly enjoyed it and were deeply attracted by it,” said Kelly.51. How were the different colors of the recreated Mona Lisa created?A. By adding different amounts of black coffee to each cup of milk. B. By adding different amounts of milk to each cup of black coffee. C. By using paints of different colorsD. By using different kinds of coffee52. How large is the recreated Mona Lisa?A. 20 square feet B. 260 square feet C. 564 square feet D. 3,604 square feet53. The event organizers chose to recreate the Mona Lisa for the following reasons EXCEPT that _.A. it is very easy to do so B. the idea can be actually carried out C. the Mona Lisa has never been reproduced out of coffeeD. the Mona Lisa is a very iconic painting in historyBDear Francisco Jiménez,I used to think my dad was too hard on me. Whatever I did just wasnt good enough for him. I had no idea why he treated me so hard, After reading your book, The Circuit, I understand my dad better and what he has been trying to tell me.My dad is an immigrant just like you. He came to the US when he was 14 years old. He spoke broken English, his family had to sleep together in one room, and he had to work to help his family out. He had to earn everything he got.My dad scolds me about not taking enough initiative（主动性）to learn another language. He says that when he was a kid he had to learn English on his own. I used to not listen to him, but after I read your book, I started to think about what he said differently. I thought about when you chose to stay in for recess（课间休息）at school every day to practice English and when, while you were working in the fields, you looked at your notebook and tried to memorize the English words that you didnt know. It must have taken a lot of initiative to do that all by yourself.My dad makes me do extra work even after I have done all of my homework. He says working hard is the only way to get far in life. The Circuit describes the importance of hard work much better than my dad described it. When you won a prize for your butterfly drawing, it made you feel like you were rushing out of your cocoon(茧) and you were flying away on your wings to become noticed. Before, your classmates had not paid attention to you. My dad told me that when he had just come to the US, he won a math prize. Now I understand how he must have felt. I think he is pushing me to work extra hard because he wants me to feel the same way.Your book made me feel a lot better about my dad. I am now sure that he cares about me and he is just trying to help me become a better person. The Circuit has helped me understand my dad and realize his good intentions. Thank you for sharing your childhood memories with me.With appreciation,Lara Bagdasarian54. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The authors father doesnt like her.B. The author may work harder after reading the book C. The author had to do extra homework arranged by her father.D. The author understood her father better before reading the book.55. What may be the function of the underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph?A. To show the authors puzzles about what her father does.B. To describe the feeling of achieving success.C. To show the authors success in drawing.D. To explain the importance of hard-working.56. The author wrote the letter to _.A. show her anger to her fatherB. help sell the book, The CircuitC. express her thanks to FranciscoD. express her thanks to her fatherCLast week, my granddaughter started kindergarten, and I wished her every success. But part of me didnt. I actually wanted her to fail in some ways because I believe that failure can be good for our learning process. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first time, which can often be a problematic (存在问题的) victory. First-time success is usually a fluke (侥幸). First-time failure, however, is supposed to be the natural order of things. Failure is how we learn. In Africa they describe a good cook as “She who has broken many pots.” If youve spent enough time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of pots, probably you know a fair amount about cooking. I once had dinner with a group of cooks, and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much credibility (可信) their failures gave them. I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column. Each week I know that one column I write is going to be the worst column. I try my best every day. I have learned to love that column. A successful column usually means that I am discussing my familiar topic, writing in a style I am used to or saying the same things as anyone else but in a better way. My younger daughter is a trapeze artist (荡秋千演员). She spent three years practising a show, and she did it successfully for years. There was no reason for her to change it but she did anyway. She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored. And if she was bored, there was no point in subjecting (使服从于) her body to all that stress. She risked failure and great public embarrassment in order to feed her soul. My granddaughter is a perfectionist. She will feel her failures, and I will want to comfort her. But I will also, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and how she can do better next time. I hope I can tell her, though, that its not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the beginning.57. Why did the author want his granddaughter to fail?A. Success is boring though good.B. He wanted her to be strong enough to face hardships.C. Its impossible to do everything successfully.D. She would learn more from failure.58. Whats the author
