ethewoodenpanelC．theydon'thavethematerialsDaVinciusedD．theyareafraidit'llbedonefurtherdamage答案D[推理判断题。文章第三段介绍专家们对名画“蒙娜丽莎”也不敢轻举妄动，原因是他们也不清楚当时达·芬奇绘画所使用的颜料以及这幅画现在的化学状况，因此可推断出他们没有对画做修复是因为怕弄巧成拙，进一步损害这幅名画。]58．ThesmileoftheMonaLisacanonlybeseen________.A．byindirectvisionB．atadistanceC．bydirectvisionD．inshadows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·芬奇是在暗处作的画，因此只有人们“不正视”时，才能看到她的微笑。]59．WhichofthefollowingisTRUEaboutMonaLisa?A．ItwasoncetakenawayandhiddenupbyGermanforces.B．Itspainterhimselfloveditgreatlyandalwayskeptitinashade.C．MonaLisastopssmilingwhenyoulookatherwantingtoseehersmiles.D．KingFrancIboughtitandplannedtoreturnittoItaly.答案C[细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段可以排除A项；根据第四段中的“DaVincihimselfloveditsomuchthathealwayscarrieditwithhim.”可排除B项；选项D与文章内容不符，故答案为C。]BNotallawardsareasnobleastheNobels.Eventhoughmostcountrieshaveasystemforrecognising,honouringandrewardingpeoplewhohavedonesomethinggoodintheircountries,therearenowhundredsofawardsandawardsceremoniesforallkindsofthings.TheOscarsareprobablythemostfamous,atimeforthe(mostly)Americanfilmindustrytotellitselfhowgooditis,anannualopportunityforlotsofbigstarstogiveeachotherawardsandmaketearfulspeeches.Butit'snotonlyfilms­nowtherearealsoGrammies,Brits,theMercuryPrizeandtheMTVandQawardsformusic.InBritain,awriterwhowinstheBookerprizecanexpecttoseetheirdifficult,literarynovelhitthebestsellerlistsandcompetewith“TheDaVinciCode”forpopularity.TheTurnerPrizeisanawardforaBritishcontemporaryartist－eachyearitcausescontroversybyapparentlygivinglotsofmoneytoartistswhodothingslikedisplaytheirbeds,putanimalsinglasscasesor－thisyear－buildagardenshed.Awardsdon'tonlyexistforthearts.TherearenowawardsforSportsPersonalityoftheYear,forEuropeanFootballeroftheyearandWorldFootballeroftheYear.Thisseemsverystrange－sometimesawardscanbegoodtogiverecognitiontopeoplewhodeserveit,ortohelppeoplewhodon'tmakealotofmoneycarryontheirworkwithoutworryingaboutfinances,butprofessionalsoccerplayersthesedayscertainlyaren'tshortofcash!Manysmalltownsandcommunitiesallovertheworldalsohavetheirownawardsceremonies,forlocalwritersorartists,orjustforpeoplewhohavegraduatedfromhighschoolorgotauniversitydegree.EventheBritishCouncilhasitsownawardsfor“InnovationinEnglishLanguageTeaching”．Shakespeareneverwonaprize,nordidLeonardodaVinciorAdamSmithorCharleswouldbepossibletosay,however,thatinthepast,scientistsandartistscouldwin“patronage”fromrichpeople－akingoralordwouldgivetheartistorscientistmoneytohavethempainttheirpalacesorhelpthemdevelopnewwaysofmakingmoney.Withthechangeinsocialsystemsacrosstheworld,thisnolongerhappens.Alotofscientificresearchisnoweitherfundedbythestateorbyprivatecompanies.Perhapsawardceremoniesarejustthemostrecentfaceofthis,thereismoretoitthanthat.WhenafilmwinsanOscar,manymorepeoplewillgoandseeit,orbuytheDVD.WhenawriterwinstheNobelPrize,manymorepeoplebuytheirbooks.WhenagroupwintheMTVawards,theceremonyisseenbyhundredsofthousandsofpeopleacrosstheworld.Theresult?Thegroupsellalotmorerecords.Mostawardsceremoniesarenowsponsoredbybigorganisationsorcompanies.Thismeansthatitisnotonlythepersonwhowinstheawardwhobenefits，butalsothesponsors.TheMTVawards,forexample,aregreatforpublicisingnotonlymusic,butalsoMTVitself!Onthesurface,itseemstobea“win­win”situation,witheveryonebeinghappy,butletmeaskyouaquestion－howfardoyouthinkthatpublicityandmarketingarewinninghere,andhowmuchgenuinerecognitionofachievementistakingplace?【语篇解读】各种名目的颁奖越来越多，但他们是否得到了大众的认可？60．Whichofthefollowingawardsoftenconfusesthepublicbygivingaprizetopeoplewhodounusualthings?A．TheTurnerPrize.B．TheBookerPrize.C．TheMercuryPrize.D．TheOscars.答案A[细节理解题。题干中的confusesthepublic与第二段中最后一句中的causescontroversy同义，题干中的如unusualthings与此句中的dothingslike...agardenshed同义，由此可知A项正确。]61．Fromthefifthparagraphwecaninferthat“patronage”isperhaps________.A．anofficialpositioninthegovernmentB．theworksofancientscientistsandartistsC．theprofessionalqualificationforapostD．supportandencouragement答案D[词义猜测题。根据此段意义及句中的关键词win，givetheartistorscientistmoney可知，patronage指“资助，支持”。]62．Whichofthefollowingquestionsdoesthefifthparagraphmainlygivetheanswerto?A．Howdoesthesocialsysteminhistorydevelopacrosstheworld?B．Whycansomeonewinaprizeandawardnotsomeoneelse?C．Whyhavealltheseawardsandawardceremoniesappearedrecently?D．WhydidShakespeare，LeonardodaVinci，AdamSmithandCharlesDickensneverwinprizes?答案C[段落大意题。作者在此段中指出，在过去，科学家、艺术家会得到富人的资助，而当今情况已大不一样，现在科学研究一般由政府和公司资助，一部电影获奖之后，前去观看的人就多，作家获奖之后，人们就去买他们的书，一个音乐团体获奖之后，人们就愿意去买他们的唱片，是社会体系的变化使诸多奖项逐渐涌现。由此可知此段主要回答的问题是C项。]63．Attheendofthetext，thewritershowsconcernaboutwhether________.A．peoplearereallybeinggivencreditforwhattheyhavedoneB．peoplearehappytodosomethinggoodfortheircountriesC．itisworthwhiletolaunchsomanyawardsD．somanyawardswillcontinuetobegivenaroundtheworld答案A[推理判断题。作者在文章最后一段说，表面上这(颁奖)是一种双赢的局面，皆大欢喜，紧接着作者向读者提出问题：宣传和市场获利多少，人们认同你所取得的成就的程度有多深，这些你们了解多少？言外之意就是人们所付出的是否真的得到了回报，是否得到大众的认可。]CLandArt,sometimesreferredtoasEarthArtorEarthworks,isaformofartwhichinvolvesusingphysicallandscapestocreateart,takingartoutofthemuseumandintotheoutsideworld.ModernLandArtmovementreallygotgoinginthe1960s,whenA
