Tradition has it that Leonardo da Vinci worked for ten years upon the painting; the monks in the church were annoyed 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 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 findfaultwith the idle painter. Leonardo was slightly unhappy and explained to somebody else that there is a great difference between the work of the 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 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. But he would look no further; if none camehisway， he would 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 in such a fashion.1Why did the Prior complain about the delay?ABecause he thought that the painter idled most of the hours.BBecause he knew that genius might be busiest when seemingly idlest.CBecause he liked the work of a stonemason.DBecause he was eager to be taken as a model for Judas.答案：A推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“. who believed that the busier a man seems, the more he accomplishes; and so he tried to find fault with the idle painter”可知，院长抱怨达芬奇画画延误了，因为他觉得画家虚度了大部分时间。故选A。2What does the underlined word “contemplation” in Paragraph 1 mean?APossibility. BIntention.CDeep thought. DGreat expectation.答案：C词义猜测题。上文描述达芬奇有时连续作画甚至不思饮食，由画线词所在句句首的“But”可知，此处应与上文形成反义对比，表明没有作画，而是花费数小时在画前，检查、对比、测量他的人物。由此可推知lost in contemplation的意思是“陷入深思”。故选C。3What can we conclude from the passage?AThe painter was pleased with the Priors anger.BThe Prior was angry because he thought the painter did not work hard.CThe painter took one of the monks as a model for Christ.DThe painter took one of the monks as a model for Judas.答案：B细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句中的“This inactivity aroused the anger of the fussy Prior .”可知，院长很生气，因为他觉得达芬奇没有努力画画。故选B。4Why did the Prior stop complaining?AHe did not wish to be remembered like an evil traitor after he died.BHe wanted to be painted as a tender Christ.CHe disliked to be painted in fashionable clothes.DHe was pleased to be a fashionable model.答案：A细节理解题。根据文章最后两句“But he would look no further; if none came his way, he would 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 in such a fashion.”可知，院长停止抱怨，因为他不想作为一个邪恶的叛徒被后代记住。故选A。1inactivity n. 静止；不活泼2idle adj. 空闲的；懒散的3descendant n. 后代；后裔1find fault with 挑剔；找茬；指责2come ones way 来到的身边；发生在某人身上B We all know the old saying, “Laughter is the best medicine.” But can we make ourselves laugh at will? According to a Czech doctor, Karel Nespor, the answer is “Yes！” In his book, TheHealingPowerofLaughter, he tells us good ways to produce laughter all day long so we can be happy and healthy. He believes that with a little training, anyone can laugh at everyday events and therefore enjoy better health and relationships. Dr Nespor says that we should start the effective“laughtertraining” first thing in the morning. As soon as we get up, we should be sure to smile at ourselves in the mirror. We may feel silly at first, but that will only make us smile more! The next step is that while we are bored or anxiously waiting for something, we should think of funny things. For example, as we waitinline for the bus, we can imagine Tom Hanks character in the movie TheTerminal and how he loses his ID papers, and has to live in an airport and entertain himself and others in very amusing ways. The third step is to laugh at difficult things that make us feel sad or even afraid. Really!When these situations and feelings come, we can laugh at our problems, and find humour in real life. No matter how unpleasant things are, try to imagine that these events are like an old friend whom you love to jokewith. This will help us learn the powerful skills of letting go of negative thoughts and replacing them with positive thoughts. And finally, as we eat our dinner at night, remember what Dr Nespor says, “Laughter need not be lonely. Smile more often at your friends and relatives. Point out funny things to each other, tell each other humorous stories, and laugh together a lot.” Repeat these four steps each day for best results! There are two points to remember to keep your funny feelings flourishing:_avoid entertainment such as horror movies, and be careful not to laugh at others. This may hurt them and you as well. Dr Nespor warns that making others unhappy may reverse (颠倒) the health benefits of laughter. But making yourself and others happy should produce longlasting healthy effects.5Which of the following best explains the saying “Laughter is the best medicine”？ALaughter is regarded as a new kind of medicine nowadays.BLaughter is the best way to stay healthy.CLaughter can cure any disease.DLaughter is more effective than any medicine.答案：B细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In his book, TheHealingPowerofLaughter, he tells us good ways to produce laughter all day long so we can be happy and healthy.”可知，笑是保持健康的好方法。故选B。6What is the passage mainly about?AA Czech doctors newly published book.BAn old saying.CA laughtertraining course. DEffective ways to be healthy in body and mind.答案：D主旨大意题。读完整篇文章，很明显它不是着重在介绍一本书或单纯介绍一句谚语，更不是一个课程，而是介绍如何让微笑真正有益身心健康的一些有效方法。故选D。7The underlined word “flourishing” in Paragraph 5 means “_”Adeveloping BdisappearingCremaining Dencouraging答案：A词义猜测题。画线词后的句子解释了“two points”的内容：不要做与微笑对立的事，故作者列这两个注意事项的目的是让微笑的初衷，即美好的感觉，继续发展下去。故该词与develop的意义相近。故选A。8The writers attitude towards laughter is _.Acritical BdoubtfulCpositive Dnegative答案：C推理判断题。根据作者的介绍，笑是良药，可以令人开心，改善人际关系，让人变得积极、乐观，有益身心健康，所以作者所持的是肯定、积极的态度。故选C。1effective adj. 有效的2.negative adj. 消极的1wait in line 排队等候 2.joke with . 与开玩笑语法填空There was a woman who went to the airport _1_ (hurry).
