Part 3 Reading and Writing

3 / 9

VI. Reading comprehension A. Choose the best answer.

“ Mona Lisa” attracts art lovers around the world. Do you know Leonardo da Vinci also painted an “ Earlier Mona Lisa” before? It will be exhibited in Shanghai next year. Joel Feldman, the general secretary of the Mona Lisa Foundation, accepted an interview about the painting and the organization recently.

Q: How was the “Earlier Mona Lisa” discovered?

A: In 1913, Hugh Blaker, a manager of the Holburne Museum in England, found the “Earlier Mona Lisa” and brought it to his museum. A year later, the painting was sent to the US for safekeeping. It was housed in the Boston Museum of Fine Art until 1918. In 1975, Henry Pulitzer, a publisher, bought the painting and kept it in the Bank of Switzerland.

Since the Mona Lisa Foundation was established in 2008, we have done lots of necessary research on the “Earlier Mona Lisa” and many high technologies were used. In the end, 28 out of the 29 experts believe this is certainly the painting created by Leonardo da Vinci.

Q: Do you remember the feeling when you first saw the “Mona Lisa” painting and this “Earlier Mona Lisa” painting?

A: I first saw the “Mona Lisa” in the Louvre as a young boy. Quite honestly I was disappointed as the painting looked quite small and dark. When I first saw the “Earlier Mona Lisa”, I was absolutely stunned. Believe me, there is really something amazing that occurs when you are in the presence of this painting.

Q: Why did you choose Shanghai for this exhibition?

A: First, Shanghai is one of world art centres. In addition, the mission of the foundation is to show the painting to the world. Therefore, we decided to begin its Asian tour and Shanghai obviously would be the first stop.

Q: Could you tell more details about the security for the painting?

A: I can’t tell you a lot. What I can say is that we paid huge amounts of money for the insurance and the painting will be exhibited in a high-tech case, and also no more than 2,000 people will be allowed to visit the painting a day. But visitors will be able to come quite close to the painting. 69. ______ was the first owner of the “Earlier Mona Lisa” in the passage. A) The Mona Lisa Foundation B) The Holburne Museum

C) The Boston Museum of Fine Art D) The Bank of Switzerland 70. What was the main purpose of the research? A) To learn the history of Leonardo da Vinci. B) To know the value of the “Earlier Mona Lisa” C)To find out who painted the “Earlier Mona Lisa” D)To test different high technologies.

72 Which city will the “Earlier Mona Lisa” most probably travel to after Shanghai? A) Los Angeles B) London C) Paris D) Beijing

73 The organization did many things to keep the painting safe, except _____. A) buying an expensive insurance for the painting B) using a high-tech case to show the painting C) limiting the number of visitors to the exhibition
