Tradition has it that Leonardo Da Vinci worked for ten years upon the painting, the monks in the church annoyed

19、 at the delay. It was said that Leonardo often painted continuously from dawn to night without eating his meals. But at other times he spent hours before the picture, lost in contemplation, examining, comparing, and measuring his figures.This inactivity aroused the anger of the fussy Prior, the head

20、 of the church, who belonged to the large group of those who believed that the busier a man seems, the more he accomplishes; and so he tried to find fault with the idle(空闲的) painter. Leonardo was slightly unhappy and explained to somebody else that there is a great difference between the work of the

21、 creative artist and the stonemason(石匠). The creative artist needs time for contemplation; he may be busiest when his hands are idlest. Just now he needed two heads to complete the picture: that of Christ, for which no model on earth could be found, for where was the man to be found whose face would

22、 express the strength, and beauty, and tenderness, and deep sorrow of the Christ; then he also needed a head of Judas, and that was hard to find as well, for where was the man whose face could express the meanness of that base traitor（叛徒）. But he would look no further; if none came his way, he would

23、 be satisfied to take Prior as a model for Judas. This threat silenced the angry Prior, who quite naturally had no desire to pass to descendants（后代）in such a fashion. 51. Why did the Prior complain about the delay?A. Because he thought that the painter idled most of the hours.B. Because he knew that

24、 genius(天才) might be busiest when seemingly idlest.C. Because he liked the work of a stonemason.D. Because he was eager to be taken as a model for Judas.52. What does the underlined word “contemplation ” in Paragraph 1 mean?A. possibilityB. intentionC. deep thoughtD. great expectation 53. Which of t

25、he following is true?A. The painter was pleased with the Priors complaint.B. The Prior was angry because he thought the painter did not work hard.C. The painter took one of the monks as a model for Christ.D. The painter took one of the monks as a model for Judas.54. Why did the Prior stop complainin

26、g? A. He did not wish to be remembered like an evil traitor after he died. B. He wanted to be painted as a tender Christ. C. He disliked to be painted in fashionable clothes. D. He was pleased to be a fashionable model.BThe ability to make small talk is highly valued. In fact, many English students

27、are more interested in making effective small talk than knowing correct grammar structures! Small talk gets friendships started and “breaks the ice” before important business meetings and other events.Making small talk is difficult not only for English learners, but also for many native speakers of

28、English. This is because making small talk means talking about almost anything and that means having a wide vocabulary that can cover most topics.Lets look at some tips to improve small talk skills and some proper subjects for small talk.Do some researchSpend time on the Internet, reading magazines,

29、 or watching TV specials about the type of people you are going to meet. For example: If you are taking a class with students from other countries, take time after the first few days of class to do some research. They will appreciate your interest and your conversations will be much more interesting

30、._While you may believe in something very strongly, beginning conversations and making small talk about your own personal convictions(信仰) may quickly end the conversation. Keep it light, dont try to convince the other person that you have the “correct” information about a higher being, religion, pol

31、itical system or other belief system.Use the Internet to gain specific vocabularyThis is related to doing research about other people. If you have a business meeting, or are meeting people who share a common interest (a basketball team, a tour group interested in art，etc.), take advantage of the Int

32、ernet to learn specific vocabulary. Ask yourself about your cultureTake time to make a list of common interests that are discussed when making small talk in your own culture. Once you have a subject that interests both of you, keep to it! ListenThis is very important. Listening carefully will help y

33、ou understand and encourage those speaking to you. You might be nervous, but letting others state their opinions will improve the quality of the discussion and give you time to think of an answer.55. Why are English students more interested in making small talk?A. Because of small talks cultural val

34、ue.B. Because of small talks practical effects.C. Because it can help them get good grades.D. Because its easier than grammar structures.56. English learners find small talk difficult because of _.A. a lack of vocabularyB. a lack of confidenceC. different values between speakersD. different cultures

35、 between speakers57. Which of the following is proper to be filled in the blank?A. Dont persuade the othersB. Do have your own beliefsC. Stay away from religion or strong political beliefsD. End the conversation quickly58. What will most probably be talked about in the paragraph that follows?A. What

36、 subjects to talk aboutB. How to improve small talk skillsC. What effects small talk hasD. Why small talk is so importantCYou have probably heard of the Mozart effect. Its the idea that if children or even babies listen to music composed by Mozart, they will become more intelligent. A quick Internet

37、 search reveals plenty of products to assist you in the task. Whatever your age there are CDs and books to help you taste the power of Mozarts music, but when it comes to scientific evidence that it can make you more clever, the picture is more mixed.The phrase “the Mozart effect” was made up in 199

38、1, but it was a study described two years later in the journal Nature that sparked real media and public interest about the idea that listening to classical music somehow improves the brain. It is one of those ideas that sound reasonable. Mozart was undoubtedly a genius himself; his music is complex

39、 and there is a hope that if we listen to enough of it, well become more intelligent.The idea took off, with thousands of parents playing Mozart to their children, and in 1998 Zell Miller, the Governor of the state of Georgia in the US, even asked for money to be set aside in the state budget so tha

40、t every newborn baby could be sent a CD of classical music. It was not just babies and children who were exposed to Mozarts music on purpose, even an Italian farmer proudly explained that the cows were played Mozart three times a day to help them to produce better milk.Ill leave the debate on the im

41、pact on milk yield to farmers, but what about the evidence that listening to Mozart makes people more intelligent? More research was carried out but an analysis of sixteen different studies confirmed that listening to music does lead to a temporary improvement in the ability to handle shapes mentall

42、y, but the benefits are short-lived and it doesnt make us more intelligent.59. What can we learn from paragraph 1?A. Mozart composed (作曲) many musical pieces for children.B.

45、ats the Queens apple and falls victim to a curse; in Shakespeares novel, Romeo drinks the poison and dies; some ancient Chinese emperors took pills that contained mercury, believing that it would make them immortal(不朽的), but they died afterward. Poison has long been an important ingredient in literature and history, and it seems to always be related to evil, danger and death. But how much do you really know about poison?
