lisa.the health of the famous picture，painted by leonardo da vinci in 1505，is getting worse by the year，according to the louvre museum where it is housed.“the thin，wooden panel on which the mona lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago.”the museum said.visitors have noticed changes，but repairing the worlds most famous painting is not easy.experts are not sure about the materials the italian artist used and their current(现在的)chemical state.nearly 6 million people go to see the mona lisa every year，many attracted by the mystery of her smile.“its very interesting that when you re not looking at her，she seems to be smiling，and then，you look at her and she slops.”said professor margaret livingstone of harvard university.“it s because direct vision(视觉)is excellent at picking up detail，but less suited to looking at shadows.da vinci painted the smile in shadows.”however，the actual history of the mona lisa is just as mysterious as the smile.da vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him，until it was eventually sold to frances king francis i in 1519.in 1911，the painting was stolen from the louvre museum by a former employee，who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat.he said he planned to return it to italy.the painting was sent back to france two years later.during world war ii，french men hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of german forces.like many old ladies，the mona lisa has some interesting stories to tell.1the underlined sentence in the first paragraph means the mona lisa_.ais losing its valuebis being damaged after so many yearscis getting more valuable with years passingdwill rot away答案：b细节理解题。首先，由转折词but判断，本句的意思应和文章前面所说“美貌是永恒的”在意义上相反。后面又介绍说“蒙娜丽莎”的健康状况随着岁月的流逝而恶化，画的木板变形，因此断定此处的意思是指随着岁月的流逝，名画蒙娜丽莎受到了损坏。2the smile of the mona lisa can only be seen_.aby indirect vision bat a distancecby direct vision din shadows答案：a细节理解题。文章第四段提到，人们“正视”时，往往看不到“蒙娜丽莎”的微笑，原因是当时达芬奇是在暗处画得画，因此只有人们“不正视”时，才能看到她的微笑。3from the last paragraph，we can infer that_.amany interesting stories have been written about the mona lisabpeople are interested in the stories about the mona lisacsome mysteries still remain to be solved about the mona lisadmany more stories will be told about the mona lisa答案：c推理判断题。文章前面提到“蒙娜丽莎”的历史像她的微笑一样是个谜，因此最后一段的意思是她还有一些秘密未被人知。4experts havent had any repairs on the mona lisa because_.ait is now in a poor chemical statebthey dont know how to replace the wooden panelcthey dont have the materials da vinci useddthey are afraid it will be done further damage答案：d推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句可知，专家对于达芬奇所用的材料及材料现在的化学状态没有把握，也就是说担心盲目修补会更加损坏此画。a项讲此画状况极差，观点过激与本文不符；b项本文未提及；c项与第三段最后一句不符。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (a、b、c和d) 中, 选出最佳选项。体裁：记叙文话题：关爱动物时间：7分钟my husband and i had just

pilot, the choice is very difficult. if he ejects, he is safe, but the plane crashes. if he stays in the plane, he risks his life. recently, chinese air force pilot li feng, 38, faced this choice during a training exercise. it was march 7 and he was flying a jian-10 (fighter-10) at 4,500 meters. a warning appeared on the planes computer screen. he realized the plane might fail at any moment.li feng did a quick check of the engine and asked the base if he could return. when the fighter was 7 km away from the airport, however, the engine stopped working. the plane began to fall at a speed of 25 meters a second at an altitude of 1,160 meters .under air force rules, fighter pilots may eject if their aircraft loses engine power below 2,000 meters and cant be restarted. before li lost contact with the control tower, the commander in the air base asked him to eject. but li feng insisted on having another try.“i knew where the deadline (to give up the aircraft) was and was prepared for the ejection, but i decided not to give up unless the fighter was totally out of control,” li recalled（回忆） during a recent television interview.after 104 seconds, li was able to bring the fighter to a safe landing. the plane only suffered slight damage.“you are a hero! congratulations!” lis teacher, xu yongling wrote in a text message to him after the landing. he said li was a cool-headed pilot and very professional(专业的).lis brave and calm act not only saved the 200 million yuan aircraft but also gave him invaluable first-hand experience of dealing with an engine emergency(紧急情况).for his

interface(bci) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.recently, two researchers, jose millan and michele tavella from the federal polytechnic school in lausanne, switzerland, demonstrated(展示)a small robotic wheelchair directed by a persons thoughts.in the laboratory, tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. he could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.“our brain has billions of nerve cells. these send signals through the spinal cord (脊髓)to the muscles to give us the ability to move. but spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles，” tavella says. “our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”the researchers designed a special cap for the user. this head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. the computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. the wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. they help the computer react to commands from the brain. prof. millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “the practical possibilities that bci technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. one example is this wheelchair.”he says his team has set two goals. one is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. and the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time.本文讲述了科学家正在寻找把大脑与电脑连系起来的方法，从而帮助残疾人。大脑与电脑连接技术，可以帮助残疾人交流和控制设备装置，如轮椅。12bci is a technology that can _.a. help to update computer systems b. link the human brain with computersc. help the disabled to

described in paragraph 5?a. scalpcomputercapwheelchairb. computercapscalpwheelchairc. scalpcapcomputerwheelchaird. capcomputerscalpwheelchair答案：c。顺序排列题，根据第五段的二、三句话可知，头皮把信号传递给帽子，帽子再把信号传递给电脑，电脑再传译信号，并指令轮椅，由此可知c项正确。15. the team will test with real patients to _.a. make profits from them b. prove the technology useful to themc. make them live longer 2d. learn about their physical condition答案：b。细节理解题。根据短文最后一段第二句话可知，他们用真正的病人做实验，是为了证明这是一项他们能受益的技术，故b项正确。16. which of the following would be the best title for the text?a. switzerland, the bci research centerb. new findings about how the human brain worksc. bci could mean more freedom for the disabledd. robotic vehicles could help to cure brain injuries答案：c。主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了bci技术能够帮助残疾人，使他们通过思考就能操作一些设备装置，这样他们就有更多的自由，由此可知c项正确。【2014高考英语湖北省武昌区调研试题】短文写作（共1题；满分30分） 请根据以下提示，并结合事例，用英语写一篇短文。 as students in senior grade 3,we are under great pressure of
