  Mona Lisa,the mysterious woman in Leonardo da Vinci's 16       th century masterpiece,had just given birth to her second son when she sat for the paint?ing,a French art expert said on Tuesday. The discovery was made by a team of Canadian scientists who used special infrared (紅夕卜線(xiàn)的) and threedimen?sional (三維的) technology to study the paint layers on the work,which now sits in the Louvre Museum in Paris.

  Bruno Mottin of the French Museums' Centre for Research and Restora?tion said that on very close examination of the painting it became clear that Mona Lisa's dress was covered in a thin transparent gauze veil (透明面紗) .

  "This type of gauze dress was typical of the kind worn in early 16th cen?tury in Italy by women who were pregnant or who had just given birth. This is something that had never been seen up to now because the painting was always judged to be dark and difficult to examine," he told a news conference.

  "We can now say that this painting by Leonardo da Vinci was painted in memory of the birth of the second son of Mona Lisa,which helps us to date it more precisely to around 1503. " The young woman with the ambiguous half smile has been identified as Lisa Gherardini,wife of Florentine merchant Francesco del Giocondo. She had five children.

  "People always wrote that Mona Lisa had allowed her hair to hang freely over her shoulders. This greatly surprised historians because letting your hair hang freely during the Renaissance was typical of young girls and women of poor virtue (美德) ”，he said.

  The team had hoped to discover more details about Leonardo's painting tech?niques,which the artist used to create a hazy (朦朧的) effect. But scientist John Taylor said the team had been disappointed by the lack of brush stroke detail on the painting.

5. According to the passage,Mona Lisa was .

   A. a woman of poor virtue

   B. Leonardo's second wife

   C. a woman who was pregnant

   D. the wife of Florentine merchant

6. We can infer from the passage that .

   B. Mona Lisa was painted in 1503

   C. in Leonardo's time women could only wear short hair

   D. the most difficult part is to identify the paint layers

7. What is probably the best title for the passage?

   A. Mona Lisa,the mysterious woman

   B. Mona Lisa was a new mother

   C. Great discovery in painting

   D. Leonardo's painting technique

  La Gomera is the only place in the world which has a whistle ( 口哨) language. We do not know how and why it began because we do not know the complete history of the island. But we can certainly imagine the reasons for the beginning of the whistle language. There are many deep valleys on the island. A person on one side of a valley cannot easily shout to a person on the other side. But he can whistle and be heard. Some of the best whistlers can be heard from four miles away and the record is seven miles.

  The people who live on the island usually have good teeth,and this helps them to whistle well. They must also have good ears so that they can hear other whistlers.

  We can understand why the whistle language con?tinues. It is very useful on the island,and quite easy to learn. When somebody is hurt or ill,the whistle lan?guage takes the place of telephone. If the sick person is quite far away from the town,people pass the message from one to another. A boy guarding cattle on a hillside whistles to a man fishing from his boat. The last one is able to describe the trouble fully and exactly to the doc?tor in town. People help one another in the same way when a car breaks down or a cow is lost.

  The whistle language is hundreds of years old,and probably it will continue to live on for hundreds of years more. Radio and TV often kill the special ways of speaking in different parts of a country. But on La Gomera you are nobody if you cannot whistle. Perhaps soon after TV arrives on the island? people there will be whistling the news and other facts and opinions.

1. If a person on La Gomera is ill,       .

   A. others will phone the doctor in town

   B. people will take him to town by carriage

   C. his family will take him to the hospital

   D. the whistle language will help pass the message to the doctor

2. La Gomera is special because       .

   A. many visitors go there every year

   B. no visitors have ever been there

   C. people there have special ears to hear whistles

   D. people there use the whistle language to com?municate with each other

3. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

   A. It is not easy for a person to live on La Gomera if he cannot whistle.

   B. The whistle language can only be found on La Gomera.

   C. The whistle language has been used for hundreds of years on the island,but will not be used any longer.

   D. The record shows that one best whistler can be heard by others seven miles away.

4. Which of the following will be the best title of this passage?
