But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona 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(卢浮宫博物馆)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 the changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state.‎ Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” 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 France’s King Francis I in 1519.‎ In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre 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 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.‎ ‎21．The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means the Mona Lisa ________.‎ A. is losing its value B. is being damaged after so many years C. is getting more valuable with years passing D. will rot away ‎22．Experts haven’t any repairs on the Mona Lisa because______.‎ A. it is now in a poor chemical state B. they don’t know how to replace the wooden panel C .they don’t have the materials Da Vinci used D. they are afraid it will be done further damage.‎ ‎23．The smile of the Mona Lisa can only be seen_______.‎ A. by indirect vision B. at a distance C. by direct vision D. in shadows ‎24．From the last paragraph, we can infer that______.‎ A. many interesting stories have been written about the Mona Lisa B. people are interested in the stories about the Mona Lisa.‎ C. some mysteries still remain to be solved about the Mona Lisa.‎ D. Many more stories will be told about the Mona Lisa.‎ Below is some adviee on how to prevent cancer.‎ Eat Blueberries Aside from being a healthy and delicious snack, blueberries contain pterostilbene, which has important colon cancer-fighting prosperities. But wait, it gets better. Blueberries also offer a large dose of vitamins C (14 milligrams per cup). So at breakfast, try to take in a cup and a half of blueberries in your cereal or yogurt, or mixed with other berries.‎ Drink Pomegranate（石榴）Juice The deep red juice of the pomegranate contains various chemicals, which together create a powerful anticancer mixture. Most recently, researchers from the University of Wisconsin at Madison has discovered that 16 ounces of pomegranate juice per day also may inhibit(阻碍) the growth of lung cancer.‎ Relax Feeling stressed or worried? Find ways to relax and you may reduce your chances of developing cancer. Purdue University researchers tracked 1,600 men over 12 years and found that half of those with high levels of worry died during the study period. Only 20 percent of the optimists died before the study were completed, while 34 percent of the extremely anxious men died of some type of cancer. Instead of stressing about the past or future, focus on the present and relax!‎ Take Selenium（硒）‎ Selenium is well known for its cancer-fighting properties. In a study of almost 1,000 men, researchers from the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that when men with the lowest initial levels of selenium in their bodies received a daily supplement over a 4-year period, they cut their prostate（前列腺）cancer risk by a remarkable 92 percent. However, it is possible to get too much of a good thing, so monitor your ‎ intake of selenium-containing supplements, Brazil nuts, tuna, meats and grains carefully.‎ Break a Sweat Even a small amount of exercise can offer major cancer-fighting benefits. In a study of 29,110 men published in the International Journal of Cancer, men who exercised just once a week had a percent lower risk of prostate cancer than men who didn’t work out at all. The better the frequency, duration and intensity of the exercise, the bigger the reduction in risk, according to the study.‎ ‎25．To prevent yourself from catching colon cancer, you should eat ____ as often as possible.‎ A. selenium B. blueberries C. pomegranates D. Vitamin D ‎26．A person is very likely to catch some type of cancer if ______.‎ A. he is very fond of exercise every day.‎ B. he is addicted to drinking C. he always feels extremely stressed or worried D. he likes to have meals in restaurants ‎27． will remarkably reduce the risk of men’s prostate cancer.‎ A. Having a proper supplement of selenium B. Drinking a cup of pomegranate juice every day C. Breathing fresh air now and then D. Taking exercise at least once a week ‎28． If you want to keep cancer away, it is very important to ______.‎ A. have a daily supplement of vitamins B and C B. try to ignore the secondhand smoking C. take in as much selenium as possible D. have exercise as often as possible 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项。‎ Depression is much higher amongst female bosses than male bosses，a new US survey finds.Dr Tetyana Pudrovska，the study's first author，explained：“Women with job authority－the ability to hire，fire，and influence pay－have greatly more symptoms of depression than women without this power.But men with job authority have fewer symptoms of depression than men without such power.”‎ The study followed 1，500 middle-aged women and 1，300 middle-aged men who all graduated from high schools in Wisconsin.The men and women were surveyed in 1993 and 2004 to look at the connection between how much authority they had at work and symptoms of depression.‎ The results showed that amongst men and women with lower levels of authority at work，women had slightly higher levels of depression.This is normal since overall women suffer from depression slightly more than men.Amongst men and women with higher levels of authority at work，however，it was women who had many more symptoms of depression than men.Men in authority actually had a 10% lower risk of depression，while authority increased the risk of women having depressive symptoms by 9%.‎ Dr Pudrovska continued：“What shocked us is that women with job authority in our study are advantaged in terms of most characteristics that are strong signs of positive mental health.These women have more education，higher incomes，better jobs，and higher levels of job satisfaction than women without job authority.Yet，they have worse mental health than lower－status(地位)women.”‎ The cause of this discrepancy is not known，but Dr Pudrovska says：“Years of social science research suggests that women in authority positions deal with interpersonal anxiety，negative social interactions，negative stereotypes，prejudice，social isolation(社会孤立)，as well as resistance(抵抗)from colleagues.Women in authority positions are viewed as lacking in the assertiveness(果断)and confidence of strong leaders.But when these women display such characteristics，they are judged negatively for being unfeminine(不像女性的)．This causes mental stress.”‎ Men，on the other hand，do not have to face these kinds of negative stereotypes about their abilities.‎ ‎29．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?‎ A．Female bosses get less stress from work than male bosses.‎ B．Female bosses get the same stress from work as male bosses.‎ C．Female bosses get the same stress from work as employees.‎ D．Female bosses get more stress from work than male bosses.‎ ‎30．What conclusion can we draw from the passage?‎ A．The higher levels of authority，the fewer women suffer depression.‎ B．The higher levels of authority，the more women suffer depression.‎ C．The lower levels of authority，the more men suffer depression.‎ D．The lower levels of authority，the more women suffer depression.‎ ‎31．What did Dr Pudrovska think of the results?‎ A．Exciting. B．Surprising.‎ C．Disappointing. D．Inspiring.‎ ‎32．What does the underlined word“discrepancy”in Paragraph 5 mean?‎ A．Difference. B．Excellence.‎ C．Preference. D．Reference.‎ Dear Guys,‎ I’d like to talk to you about the shame you subjected me to last night. Let me first refresh your memory: You, a group of fit, young men, were playing soccer on the field across from my apartment building. I, a better-than-average looking young woman, was walking along the sidewalk with my groceries. That’s when your ball came flying over the fence and landed in front of me.‎ One of you approached and asked politely if I would throw the ball back to you. Fighting the urge to drop my bags and run screaming down the street, I reluctantly (勉强地) agreed.‎ Before I continue, let me explain something that I didn’t have a chance to mention last night: I hate sports. More specifically, I hate sports involving balls. This results from my lack of natural ability when it comes to throwing, catching and hitting. I’m bad at aiming too. So you can understand why I’d be nervous at what I’m sure seemed to you like a laughably simple request.‎ However, wanting to appear agreeable, I put my bags down, picked up the ball and, eyes half-shut, and threw it as hard as I could.‎ It hit the middle of the fence and bounced back to me.‎ Trying to act casually, I said something about being out of practice, and then picked up the ball again. If you’ll remember, at your command, I agreed to try throwing underhand. While outwardly I was smiling, in my head, I was praying, oh God, oh please oh please oh please. I threw the ball upward with all my strength, terrified by what happened next.‎ The ball hit slightly higher up on the fence and bounced back to me.‎ This is the point where I start to take issue with you. Wouldn’t it have been a better use of your time, and mine, if you had just walked around the fence and took the ball then? I was clearly struggling; my smiles were more and more forced. And yet, you all just stood there, motionless.‎ Seeing that you weren’t going to let me out of the trouble, I became desperate. Memories of middle school softball came flooding back. I tried hard to throw the ball but it only went about eight feet, then I decided to ‎ pick it up and dash with ball in hand towards the baseline, while annoyed thirteen-year-old boys screamed at me that I was ruining their lives. Children are cruel.‎ Being a big girl now, I pushed those memories aside and picked up the soccer ball for the third time. I forced a good-natured laugh while crying inside as you patiently shouted words of support over the fence at me.‎ ‎“Throw it granny-style!” one of you said.‎ ‎“Just back up a little and give it all you’ve got!” another offered.‎ And, most embarrassing of all, “You can do it!”‎ I know you thought you were being encouraging, but it only served to deepen the shame.‎ Anyway, I accepted your ball-throwing advice, backed up, rocked back and forth a little, took a deep breath and let it fly.‎ It hit the edge of the fence and bounced back to me.‎ I surprised myself—and I’m sure you as well—by letting out a cry, “DAMN IT!!!” I then willed myself to have a heart attack and pass out in front of you just so I’d be put out of my misery.‎ Alas, the heart attack didn’t happen, and you continued to look at me expectantly, like you were content to do this all night. I had become a sort of exhibition for you. I could feel your collective thoughts drifting through the chain-link: “Can she really not do it? But I mean, really?”‎ Unfortunately for you, I wasn’t really game to continue your experiment. Three failed attempts at a simple task in front of a group of people in a two-minute period were just enough blows for me for one night. I picked up the ball one last time, approached the fence and grumbled, “Please just come get the damn ball.”‎ And you did. And thanks to you, I decided at that very moment to never throw anything ever again, except disrespectful glances at people who play sports.‎ Sincerely,‎ Jen Cordery ‎33．The writer agreed to throw the ball because ______.‎ A．she needed to have a relax carrying the heavy groceries B．she wanted to refresh her childhood memories C．she could not refuse the polite request from the young man D．she had fallen in love with the young man at first sight ‎34．Which of the following is closet in meaning to the underlined word “game”?‎ A．anxious B．brave C．afraid D．curious ‎35．Why did the writer mention her middle school memory?‎ A．To explain why she failed the attempts to throw the ball back.‎ B．To complain that she had not mastered the ball throwing skills.‎ C．To show how cruel those 13-year-old boys were.‎ D．To express her dislike towards softball.‎ ‎36．What the boys said before the writer’s third attempt actually made the writer ________.‎ A．inspired B．encouraged C．awkward D．depressed ‎37．What happened to the ball at last?‎ A．The writer managed to throw the ball back.‎ B．The boy got the ball back by himself.‎ C．The writer threw the ball away out of anger.‎ D．The boys got angry and left without the ball.‎ ‎38．What’s the writer’s purpose in writing this open letter?‎ A．To express her regret over what she did the day before.‎ B．To announce that she would never play all games again.‎ C．To joke on her inability to throw the ball over the fence.‎ D．To criticize the young men for their cruelty to her dignity.‎ 三、完形填空 It’s a sad and familiar sentence from a beggar that we often hear.

The column, aimed at relieving pressure and ensuring the health of us students, mainly deals with our worries in life and the challenges we meet in the course of study. It has a unique advantage that we can seek from experts in psychology some professional advice on our respective problems. ‎ In my opinion, our school attaches great importance to our study and our mental health as well. Starting this column provides us with a platform on which to communicate with others and pour out our feelings. On the other hand, we can turn to it for help when at a loss what to do. Under the expert guidance of the column, I believe, we can achieve our goals with more confidence and keep a good state of mind at the same time.‎
