23、 Leonardo da Vinci, one of the greatest thinkers in the world, began his career as an artist. Very little is known about Leonardo’s early life. He was born in 1452 in the town of Vinci. As a boy, Leonardo showed a great interest in drawing, sculpting and observing nature.
However, because Leonardo was born to parents who were not married to each other, he was barred from some studies and professions. He trained as an artist after moving to Florence with his father in the 1460s. It was an exciting time to be in Florence, one of the cultural capitals o£ Europe. Leonardo trained with one of the city’s very successful artists, Andrea del Verrocchio. He was a painter, sculptor and gold worker. Verrocchio told his students that they needed to understand the body’s bones and muscles when drawing people.
Leonardo took the teacher’s advice very seriously. He spent several periods of his life studying the human body by taking apart and examining dead bodies. While training as an artist, Leonardo also learned about and improved on relatively new painting methods at the time. One was the use of perspective (透视) to show depth. A method called “sfumato” helped to create a cloudy effect to suggest distance. "Chiaroscuro” is a method using light and shade as a painterly effect.
Leonardo’s first known portrait now hangs in the National Gallery in Washington, D. C. He made this painting of a young woman named Ginevra de’ Benci around 1474. The woman has a pale face with dark hair. In the distance, Leonardo painted the Italian countryside.
He soon received attention for his extraordinary artistic skills. Around 1475 he was asked to draw an angel in Verrocchio’s painting The Baptism of Christ. One story says that when Verrocchio saw Leonardo’s addition to the painting, he was so amazed by his student’s skill that he said he would never paint again.
【1】What does the underlined word “barred” mean in Paragraph 2?
A．Saved.
B．Stopped.
C．Protected.
D．Separated.
【2】What made Leonardo interested in studying the human body?
A．His own desire.
B．His parents’ request.
C．His teacher’s suggestion.
D．Successful artists’ direction.
【3】“Sfumato” and “Chiaroscuro” are mentioned in the text to show ________.
A．the ways of art training
B．Andrea’s teaching methods
C．the difficulty in learning art
D．Leonardo’ devotion to learning
【4】What resulted in Leonardo’ first fame?
A．Ginevra de’ Benci.
B．The Baptism of Christ.
C．Andrea’s appreciation.
D．The Italian countryside painting.
24、 Increasing numbers of airports, especially in Europe, are promoting a “silent airport” idea. It is to reduce noise pollution, such as airport-wide announcements, without sacrificing timely and helpful updates of information.
International airports were once characterized by their high voices, competing gate announcements and so on. This is all changing. Angela Gittens, director general of Airports Council International (ACI), says there is a growing desire among airports and airlines they serve to create a calm, relaxed atmosphere without being disturbed by announcements. “Passengers can relax while they wait for their flight to board in the common airside lounges(休闲区), and food and drink areas,” she says.
In June, Helsinki Airport in Finland—a country where the tourism slogan(口号) is “silence, please”—became the most recent airport to adopt the silent concept. As part of its commitment to quieting things down, announcements for flights are made only in boarding gate areas.
Lost track of time in the shops?
Too bad.
Nobody’s going to call you to your flight, as announcements in all terminals will be made only in exceptional（尤其） emergency circumstances.
Heikki Koski, vice president of Helsinki Airport, says that improved flight information display system and interactive kiosks(交互式自助服务机), together with advances in mobile technology, are changing the way airports communicate with passengers. At Munich airport, InfoGate kiosks allow for video-based face-to-face conversation with a live customer service representative in the traveler’s language of choice. Interactive signs, on the other hand, give directions at the touch of finger. Passengers can tap a “you are here” display to get directions and approximate walking time to their destinations.
Of course, an airport will never be as silent as a temple. There will continue to be a need for airport-wide emergency announcements along with boarding calls. But at silent airports, the latter can be restricted to specific gates, as has adopted in Helsinki.
【1】What is Angela Gittens’ opinion on the silent airport concept?
A. It makes airport noise-free.
B. It is intended for passengers’ benefit.
C. It has changed international airports’ reputation.
D. It has encouraged the catering industry in airports.
【2】What should passengers pay close attention to at Helsinki Airport?
A. Their boarding time. B. Finland’s tourism slogan.
C. The shop’s opening hours. D. The “you are here” display.
【3】Why is Munich Airport mentioned in the text?
A. To show its popularity. B. To introduce Infogate kiosks.
C. To prove Heikki Koski’s words. D. To be compared with Helsinki Airport.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A. Silence, please. This is an airport.
B. Can airports be as quiet as temples?
C. Silent airports all around the world.
D. Technology helps airports become interactive.
