The Mona Lisa is the famous Leonardo da Vinci painting of a woman with a mysterious smile.This week, the painting gave up a secret.
Scientists using Xrays to examine the chemical structure of a small part of the painting discovered a technique Leonardo used in the work.An oil paint used for it was a special, new chemical mixture, which suggests that the Italian artist was in an experimental mood when he worked on the painting in the 16th century.
“He loved to experiment, and each of his paintings is completely different technically,”said Victor Gonzalez, a chemist who has studied the chemical element of several works by Leonardo and other artists.The researchers found a rare lead compound—plumbonacrite, in Leonardo's first layer of paint.The discovery proved that da Vinci most likely used lead oxide to thicken and help dry his paint.The paint in the study is about the thickness of a human hair, lying in the top right area of the painting.
The scientists looked into its atomic structure using Xrays, moving particles at the speed of light, permitting researchers to look deeper into the paint structure.“ Plumbonacrite is really a fingerprint of his recipe, as it's the first time we can chemically confirm it,” Gonzalez said.
Dutch artist Rembrandt may have used a similar mixture when he was painting in the 17th century.Gonzalez and other researchers have found plumbonacrite in his work, too.Leonardo is thought to have put lead oxide powder, which has an orange color, in the oil to make it thicker and dry faster.“What you will get is an oil that has a very nice golden color,” Gonzalez said.“It flows more like honey.”
But the Mona Lisa—said by the Louvre to be a portrait of Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a Florentine silk businessman—and additional works by Leonardo still have other secrets to tell.“What we are saying is just a little brick in the knowledge,” Gonzalez said.
4.What's the new discovery about the Mona Lisa?
A.A new explanation of the secret smile.
B.A new chemical element used in the painting.
C.The secret of the woman in the painting.
D.The structure of the paint da Vinci used.
5.Which best explains the underlined word “fingerprint” in paragraph 4?
A.Open secret. B.Widespread use.
C.Hidden element. D.Longterm dream.
6.How does Gonzalez view the use of lead oxide powder in paintings?
A.It helps to make many things into paints.
B.It helps to make paints easy to deal with.
C.It helps to keep the paintings last long.
D.It helps to make paintings rich in color.
7.What can we learn about the Mona Lisa from the last paragraph?
A.It has more secrets to tell the world.
B.It's the portrait of a silk businessman.
C.It's well kept in bricks in the Louvre.
D.It has a mixture of different art styles.

Fresco (湿壁画) refers to painting techniques used on plaster.Popular during the Renaissance period, especially in Italy, frescoes were usually used to decorate walls of public buildings.
The purest type of fresco painting, also known as “buon fresco”, involves mixing pigments directly with wet plaster.The color is thus actually part of the material, rather than a coating on top of it, as is the case with “fresco a secco” or with regular painting.The colors of a buon fresco are especially vibrant and longlasting; the BullLeaping Fresco in Knossos, Crete was created around the 17th-15th centuries BCE, but the colors are still clear today.However, this technique is not without its unique disadvantages.For one thing, colors look different when they are wet than when they are dry.Artists of the time typically mixed their own plaster and color mixtures, working quickly to finish a part of a mural (壁画) before the plaster dried.The mixture they created the next time might have been a slightly different shade.If you look carefully at the frescoes on the Sistine Chapel, you can see which parts must have been completed in a single session by the faint differences in colors.
Fresco a secco requires something to be added to the paint to make it stick to the dry plaster.This technique is sometimes used to repair a buon fresco that has been damaged, although the colors are generally not as bright.However, some colors actually worked better with the fresco a secco.During the Renaissance period, the available pigments for creating blue did not mix well with wet plaster; for this reason, skies, water, and blue clothing sometimes were painted as secco frescoes after the buon fresco had dried.
In 1997, the frescoes by Giotto di Bondone in the Basilica of St.Francis in Assisi, Italy were damaged in an earthquake.150 restorers, of whom most are volunteers, spent five years gathering 60,000 pieces that they could find and set them back into place, much like a puzzle, although about 35 percent of the fresco remains incomplete.
8.Which of the following can replace the word “vibrant” underlined in paragraph 2?
A.Bright. B.Simple.
C.Watery. D.Rare.
9.What does the author want to show by mentioning the frescoes on the Sistine Chapel?
A.It was in Italy that true fresco was widely used.
B.It is crucial to differentiate varied painting style.
C.It took time for painters to create their unique colors.
D.It was hard to create the exactly same color every time.
10.What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A.The disadvantages of fresco a secco.
B.The reasons why painters preferred blue.
C.The characters and uses of fresco a secco.
D.The similarities between the two fresco techniques.
11.Which can best describe the repair process of Giotto's frescoes?
A.Slow but creative.
B.Complicated and dangerous.
C.Discouraging but moneysaving.
D.Timeconsuming and laborious.

SETTING A GOAL OF PAINTING
You'll find that having a clear goal when you go out painting will make you a better painter, faster.__1__.The goals are as follows.
Explore an area.__2__.When in Scotland for the first time, I didn't know what to paint.So, rather than making finished paintings, I focused on just sketching (素描) the things that were new to me.It's a relaxing approach to painting, and it helps you get familiar with a strange land.
__3__.It's like exploring, but with more focus.On my Scotland trip, I became fond of a beautiful, ancient stone bridge and knew I wanted to make a big painting of it when I got home.I collected color studies in gouache (水粉画), pencil sketches and photos.Once home, where I had all the tools and materials ready, I was able to create that larger work.
Work on a skill or problem.This is usually a workshop goal, but you can do it on your own.If you don't understand color temperature, consider making color studies in different temperature.__4__: Is it true that white in shadow is darker than black in light? See for yourself by observing and painting such a situation.
Create a finished painting.This can be a difficult task compared to the others.You have to be at the top of your game, employing good design, good color and good edge treatment.I usually do this for openair contests or when I'm practicing for one.Many artists, however, often enjoy bringing a painting fully to completion at the scene.__5__.
A.Have a good trip
B.Gather reference materials
C.Before this you'd better make a plan
D.This is what I do if I'm in unfamiliar area
E.Or you may have a question you want to answer
F.It takes experience, time and energy and plenty of coffee

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了四家位于巴塞罗那的艺术画廊。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句“雷蒙艺术拥有现代化和舒适的空间,为独特和高质量的艺术品提供当代方法以及一个私人画廊空间,其中一些作品可供购买,这是一个主要吸引游客的地方。”可知,雷蒙艺术的优势是提供一些艺术品可供购买。故选D。
2.A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句“马尔伯勒家族画廊于1946年在伦敦成立,被誉为第一家展出亨利·摩尔和弗朗西斯·培根等德国表现主义者作品的画廊。”可知,马尔堡画廊的主画廊在伦敦。故选A。
3.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“这是第一家在整个西班牙开业的。”可知,Sala Parés画廊第一个在巴塞罗那开业。故选C。
B
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。科研人员研究意大利画家达·芬奇的名画《蒙娜丽莎》后发现,达·芬奇在作画时使用了一种铅化合物,并且表示达·芬奇的画作中仍然有很多秘密等待人们去寻找和发现。
4.B 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“这幅画所使用的油画颜料是一种特殊的新型化学混合物,这表明这位意大利艺术家在16世纪创作这幅画时处于一种实验的状态。”可知,科学家们发现了一种特殊的化学混合物被用在《蒙娜丽莎》的颜料上。故选B。
5.C 词义猜测题。画线词后的连词as表明前后句意呈因果关系。根据第四段画线词后“因为这是我们第一次用化学方法证实水白铅矿”可知,科学家们用科学方法第一次证实了达·芬奇在他的画作中使用了这种铅化合物。由此可知,画线词“fingerprint”指的是达·芬奇的画作中这种先前不为人知的成分。故选C。
6.D 推理判断题。根据第五段后三句“人们认为达·芬奇在油画中加入了橙色的氧化铅粉末,使油画变稠,干得更快。冈萨雷斯说:‘你会得到一种非常漂亮的金黄色的油彩。它流动起来更像蜂蜜。’”可推知,冈萨雷斯认为这种铅化合物的添加有助于使绘画色彩丰富。故选D。
7.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段“但《蒙娜丽莎》——卢浮宫称其为佛罗伦萨丝绸商人的妻子丽莎·盖拉尔迪尼的肖像——以及列奥纳多的其他作品仍有其他秘密要讲。冈萨雷斯说:‘我们所说的只是知识中的一小块砖。’”可知,画家达·芬奇的《蒙娜丽莎》和他的其他画作仍有很多秘密有待被发现,我们所知道的只是其中很小的一部分。故选A。
C
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了兴盛于欧洲文艺复兴时期的两种壁画的绘画技巧。
8.A 词义猜测题。根据第二段画线词所在句子“布恩壁画的色彩尤其……持久;克里特岛克诺索斯的跳牛壁画创作于公元前17至15世纪左右,但其色彩至今仍然清晰。”可知,布恩壁画的色彩能够持续很久,这说明了它的色彩特别“鲜艳的”,才让今天的人们得以目睹其效果。故选A。
9.D 推理判断题。根据第二段最后两句“他们下一次创造的混合物可能有点不同。如果你仔细看西斯廷教堂的壁画。通过颜色上的微弱差异,你可以看到哪些部分一定是在同一时间内完成的。”可知,作者提到西斯廷教堂的壁画是想说明对于画匠而言,每次都调配出一模一样的颜色是很困难的。故选D。
10.C 段落大意题。根据第三段“干壁画需要在油漆中添加一些东西,使其粘在干燥的石膏上。这种技术有时用于修复损坏的彩绘壁画,不过颜色通常不那么鲜艳。然而,有些颜色实际上更适合干壁画。在文艺复兴时期,用于创造蓝色的颜料不能很好地与湿石膏混合;由于这个原因,天空、水和蓝色的衣服有时会在彩绘壁画干燥后被画成干壁画。”可知,第三段的主要内容是干壁画技法的特点和用法。故选C。
11.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“1997年,意大利阿西西圣弗朗西斯大教堂的乔托·迪·邦多纳的壁画在地震中受损。150名修复者,其中大多数是志愿者,花了五年时间收集了6万件他们能找到的碎片,并把它们放回原位,就像拼图一样,不过大约35%的壁画仍然不完整。 ”可知,修复乔托在圣弗朗西斯大教堂的壁画的过程“费时费力”。故选D。

2.D 下文详细描述了作者自己在苏格兰时的画画经历:用素描对陌生的地方进行探索,这是对D项“这是我在不熟悉的地方所做的”中“what I do if I'm in unfamiliar area”的阐述,即在不熟悉的地方进行探索,照应段首主题句“Explore an area.”。故选D。
3.B 设空句是段首主题句。根据下文可知,要创作一件作品,需要收集其相关素材,说明第二个目标是收集素材,B项“收集参考素材”是本段内容的概括。故选B。
4.E 下文提出一个具体的问题,对E项“或者你可能想知道一个问题的答案”中“a question”进行举例,上下文语意连贯。故选E。
