　　Even at the age of 89 Rene Huyghe still loves the woman with whom he spent World WarⅡ driving her from her house to safety, hiding her in his office, even sharing a bedroom with her. She was “Mona Lisa”, masterpiece of Leonardo da Vinci and a centerpiece of the Louvre. He was the chief curator（管理員）of paintings there.

　　Foreseeing the Nazi drive across Europe, Huyghe began planning in 1938 to hide his charges. When Germans entered Poland a year later, Huyghe’s trucks took Louvre paintings to hiding places far from Paris. “Mona Lisa” rode in a car, “always going with a curator, sometimes with me,” he recalls.

　　She was carried from place to place out of fear. Bombs could strike her hiding place; fire could burn her; she could end up in a German collection.

　　Once, as Nazi troops passed her last hiding place, Chateau de Montal, a Resistance fighter inside fired at them. Fearing retaliation（報復）, Huyghe shouted to the man, “You are mad! Stop it at once!” The troops moved on and the following day razed（洗劫） entire village nearby.

　　“At war’s end every single work was back in the Louvre,” Huyghe says. “Mona Lisa” herself returned in a curator’s private car.

1．According to the passage, the one Rene Huyghe still loves is ______.

[　　]

　　A．a painting　　　　　　B．a German girl

2．When did the Nazi drive across Poland?

[　　]

　　　A．Not mentioned.　　B．In 1938.

　　　C．After 1938　　D．Before 1938.

3．In paragraph 2, “Huyghe began planning in 1938 to hide his charges.” Means ______.

[　　]

A．Huyghe wanted to hide his money in 1938

B．Huyghe had planned to complete his tasks

C．Huyghe made a plan to hide the paintings of the Louvre in 1938

D．Huyghe hoped to take good care of his photos in 1938.

4．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

[　　]

A．A resistance fighter stayed together with the old man.

B．A village in which they stayed was razed by the Germans.

C．All the works were returned to the museum after the war.

　　MONTREAL (Reuters)-Crossing the US-Canada border (邊界) to go to church on a Sunday cost a US citizen $ 10 000 for breaking Washington's strict new security(安全) rules.

　　The expensive trip to church was a sur-prise for Richard Albert, who lives right on the Canadian border. Like the other half-doz-en people of Township 15, crossing the bor-der is a daily occurrence for Albert. The nearby Quebec village of St. Pamphile is where they shop, eat and go to church.

　　There are many such situations in these areas along the largely unguarded 5 530-mile border between Canada and the US-which in some cases actually runs down the middle of streets or through buildings.

　　As a result, Albert says he did not expect any problems three weeks ago when he returned home to the US after attending church in Cana-da, as usual. The US customs (海關(guān)) station in this area is closed on Sundays, so he just drove around the locked gate, as he had done every weekend since the gate appeared last May, fol-lowing a tightening of border security. Two days later, Albert was told to go to the customs office, where an officer told him he had been caught on camera crossing the border illegally(非法).

　　Ottawa has given out special passes to some 300 US citizens in that area so they can enter the country when Canadian customs stations are closed, but the US stopped a similar program last May. That forces the people to a 200-mile detour along hilly roads to get home through another border check-point.

　　Albert has requested that the customs office change their decisions on the fine, but he has not attended a Sunday church since. “I feel like I'm living in a prison, ”he said.

(1) We learn from the text that Richard Al-bert is ________ .

[　　]

A．a(chǎn)n American living in Township 15

B．a(chǎn) Canadian living in a Quebec village

C．a(chǎn) Canadian working in a customs station

D．a(chǎn)n American working in a Canadian church

(2) Albert was fined because he ________.

[　　]

A．failed to obey traffic rules

B．broke the American security rules

C．worked in St. Pamphile without a pass

D．damaged the gate of the customs office

(3) The underlined word “ detour ” in Para-graph 5 means ________ .

[　　]

A．a(chǎn) drive through the town

B．a(chǎn) race across the fields

C．a(chǎn) round about way of travelling

D．a(chǎn) journey in the mountain area

(4) What would be the best title for the text?

[　　]

A．A Cross-country Trip.

B．A Special Border Pass.

C．An Unguarded Border.

D．An Expensive Church Visit.

Fading beauty

　　She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last for ever．But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa．

　　The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum(盧浮宮博物館)where it is housed．

　　“The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,” the museum said．Visitors have noticed changes but repairing the world's most famous painting is not easy．Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state(狀態(tài))．

　　Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile．“It is very interesting that when you're not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University．“It's because direct vision(視覺)is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows．Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows．”

　　However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile．Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France's King Francis I in 1519．

　　In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat．He said he planned to return it to Italy．The painting was sent back to France two years later．

　　During World War II, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces．
