28、Birthdays often involve surprises.But this year's surprise on the birthday of the great British playwright William Shakespeare is surely one of the most dramatic.
On April 22, one day before his 441st birthday anniversary, experts discovered that one of the most recognizable portraits of William Shakespeare is a fake.This means that we no longer have a good idea of what Shakespeare looked like.“It's very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare might be unreliable because many of them are copies of this one,” said an expert from Britain's National Portrait Gallery.
The discovery comes after four months of testing using X-rays, ultraviolet light, microphotography and paint samples.The experts from the gallery say the image —commonly known as the “Flower portrait”— was actually painted in the 1800s, about two centuries after Shakespeare's death.The art experts who work at the gallery say they also used modern chemistry technology to check the paint on the picture.These checks found traces of paint dating from about 1814.Shakespeare died in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609.
“We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840.This was when there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare's plays,” Tarnya Cooper, the gallery's curator (馆长), told the Associated President.
The fake picture has often been used as a cover for collections of his plays.It is called the Flower portrait because one of its owners, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare Company.
“There have always been questions about the painting,” said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company.“Now we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture.”
Two other images of Shakespeare, are also being studied as part of the investigation and the results will come out later this month.________.
【1】What makes the birthday of Shakespeare dramatic this year?

B.“Flower portrait” was a portrait of Shakespeare given to Desmond Flower.
C.1814 might be when the portrait was drawn.
D.The Flower portrait is not often used as a cover for Shakespeare's play.
【3】How many methods were used to test the portrait?

29、The population of monarchs passing the winter in Mexico appears to have fallen. Now, the good news for Illinois’ state insects: The Field Museum in Chicago is trying to figure out what makes a successful monarch garden in the city, and it’s proper to start preparing for this summer.
The Field Museum project involves citizens reporting on spaces that researchers can’t walk into every day, like backyards. Participants sent in weekly reports, including the makeup of their garden,and development of eggs and caterpillars. The more successful gardens had more milkweed (乳汁草) and blooming plants, multiple milkweed species, and tended to be larger plots. But Klinger, an expert at the Field Museum,said one participant with a single plant watched eggs transform all the way to chrysalises (蛹). So, she said, “You just need one plant.”
In 2020, during the second season of the study, the number of caterpillars dropped even though the number of participants in the study more than doubled.
Chicago saw a hot, dry summer — its warmest on record, and Klinger said that may have affected the health of the milkweed plants. The reports out of Mexico noted this season’s eastern population drop followed an increase in forest loss,which was 4 times what it was a year ago, primarily from illegal tree cutting, as well as trees hit by wind and drought. But they also said spring and summer weather conditions were tough for milkweed blossoms and egg development in the southern US, which is largely responsible for limiting reproduction.
“But now is the optimum time to start planning to plant some milkweed. The best thing to do is what you can do. One milkweed plant in a pot on your balcony (阳台) is doing something,” Klinger said.
【1】What does Klinger imply about monarch gardens in paragraph 2?
A.More milkweed is a must for larger plots.
B.It’s necessary to participate in this project.
C.It’s easy for citizens to garden for monarchs.
D.One plant can also make a great difference.
【2】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.Bad weather seen in the southern US.
B.Factors leading to the monarch’s decline.
C.Human activities causing harm to butterflies.
D.Plants responsible for the monarch’s reproduction.
【3】What does the underlined word “optimum” in paragraph 5 mean?
A.Fixed.
B.Special.
C.Perfect.
D.Acceptable.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Gardeners Lend All Insects a Hand
B.Plant Milkweed to Save Monarchs
C.Cities Provide the Best Habitat for Monarchs
D.Necessary Approaches to Helping out Butterflies
