A Tale of Two Cities

　　One night in December 1757, Dr Manette, a young doctor in Paris, was walking by the Seine when he was stopped by two noblemen the Marquis of Evremonde brothers, and forced into a carriage(四輪馬車) to visit two patients, a pretty girl about twenty and a peasant boy around seventeen, the girl's younger brother. Struck by(被……迷住) the beauty of the girl, the two noblemen had taken her by force and tortured(折磨) her husband to death.

Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa has always been something of a mystery woman. There have been questions over the reason for her mysterious smile and her whereabouts(行蹤) during the Second World War. Now the story of a secret agent(間諜) working for Britain may have the answer to the second puzzle.

Albrecht Gaiswinkler, an Australian, rescued the painting from the Nazis, according to the official history of the Special Operations Executive.

The Louvre in Paris, where Mona Lisa is exhibited, has always denied that it was taken by the occupying Nazi forces, although last year the museum said for the first time that a 16th or 17th-century copy of the painting was taken by the Germans and hidden in a saltmine in Austria.

The SOE history , which has been kept secret for 50 years, details the hero of Gaiawinkler, who is singled out（突出）for rescuing a number of Nazi treasure boards(聚藏物), including “ Mona Lisa”.

The Secret History of SOE 1940-1945, written by the late Wiliam Mackenzie and published by St.Ermin’s Press, is based on secret files from the war and interviews with members of the secret organization. It states clearly that Mona Lisa was recovered from the Nazis.

The Nazis pillaged(搶奪) European art treasures on a huge scale on the orders of Adolf Hitler and many were stored in a saltmine near the town of Bad Ausee in Austria.

According to the SOE history, Gaiswinkler deserted from the German Armed Forces and joined the Marquis(抗德游擊隊) in France in June 1944. Gaiswinkler was “ dropped blind” back into his country, where he raised an active force of 350 men. In the last weeks of the Nazi rule, he was able to harass(騷擾) the Nazis “ by a multitude of bluffs(虛張聲勢)”, When the Americans arrived, they found that he had captured several important Nazis and “had rescued a number of treasure boards, including Mona Lisa and the Austrian Imperial Crown Jewels.”

45. What does the second puzzle in the first paragraph refer to ?

   A. Where Mona Lisa was during the Second World War.

   B. The story of a secret agent.

   C. Mona Lisa’s mysterious smile .

D. The SOE history.

46. From the article, we can know that Gaiswinkler’s home country is ____________.

A. France        B. Germany      C. Austria         D. Britain

47. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

A. Mona Lisa was not taken by the Nazis at all

B. Gaiskinkler rescued Mona Lisa from the Nazis

C. A 16th  or 17th-century copy if Mona Lisa was taken by the Austrians. 

D. The SOE has always been lying to the public.

48. What is the text mainly about?

   A. A secret agent and his experience.   B. How Mona Lisa was rescued by a British agent.

   C. The mystery of Mona Lisa.         D. Whether the Mona Lisa was taken by the Nazis.

They were just grasshoppers(螞蚱). But there were millions of them, which was why dad was so anxious to get rid of them.

“They’re totally destroying our beans,” he told Mom over lunchtime one Saturday. “I’ve been trying to keep them out of the tomatoes, but I don’t know if I can make it.”

“Isn’t there something you can do about them?” Mom asked. She was mostly concerned about the tomatoes. “I think there’s a spray(噴霧) or something,” Dad said. “I’m going down to the garden center after lunch and see if they have any suggestions.”

I’m pretty sure that’s what he said. But what I heard was, “While I’m gone, why don’t you and George come up with your own plan for getting fid of the grasshoppers?”

And so that’s what we did. It was the summer between fifth and sixth grade, so we were feeling pretty clever and mature. Certainly we knew how to get rid of these grasshoppers. That seemed simple enough. Finally Ron and Don joined us but then, things got a little crazy. Before we knew it we were doing terrible experiments. I won’t describe our experiments. Let’s just call it “The Adventures of the Marquis de Orkin”. Dad came home and saw these different deaths. We were laughing, but the laughter quickly turned to silence when we saw the look on my dad’s face.

“What are you boys doing?” he asked .

“We’re just sort of helping to get rid of the grasshoppers,” I said.

“This isn’t ‘getting rid of grasshoppers,’” Dad said. “This is killing.”

I was confused. I looked at the insecticide he was carrying. “But aren’t you going to kill grasshoppers with that?” I asked.

“Yes, because it’s something we need to do for the protection of our garden,” he said seriously. “But I’m not going to enjoy it.”

56. It can be inferred from the text that _________.

A. the tomatoes in the garden were badly damaged by grasshoppers

B. the father was advised to get rid of grasshoppers with insecticide

C. the father asked the author to help catch grasshoppers

D. the author’s way of treating grasshoppers was interesting

57. The underlined word “them” in Para. 3 refers to __________.

A. Dad and I              B. grasshoppers                   C. beans         D. tomatoes

58. The underlined sentence “And so that’s what we did.” means that _________.

A. we killed the grasshoppers for fun

B. we carried out an experiment on the grasshoppers

C. we thought of a way to deal with the grasshoppers

D. we were clever enough to get rid of the grasshoppers

59. How did the author’s father feel when he saw what the children were doing？

A. Angry.                  B. Confused                          C. Satisfied     D. Fearful

60. In which magazine would you most probably find this passage?

A. American Laboratory               B. Accounts of Chemical Research   

C. Readers’ Digest                               D. Technology
