B
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 of 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 (透視) 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 “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.
 
41. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. We can find Leonardo’s work in the National Gallery.
B. Leonardo thought his teacher’ s advice was unreasonable.
C. “Sfumato” is a method to show depth by using light and shade.

Not all vegetables need lots of sunshine. Mark Hoffman and his wife, Guia, own a bed-and-breakfast guesthouse in rural Kempton, Illinois. They often serve their guests produce fresh from the garden.
    The Hoffmans have been growing food and flowers for twenty-five years. For almost ten of those years, Mr. Hoffman has been experimenting and working with shade plantings. He says visitors to his website — greenhousebed.com — often ask how to plant in shade spaces. He said, “The bottom line here is that most plants will produce more in full sun. But if you do not have full sun, there are other options.”
 For example, he grows tomatoes near oak trees. Oak trees can produce a lot of shade. But Mr. Hoffman says his tomato plants grow as long as they get five hours a day of direct sunshine, especially morning sun. Not only does this go against the traditional advice that tomatoes need six, eight, even twelve hours a day of full sun, it also shows how plants and trees roots can share nutrients and water. Mr. Hoffman also planted asparagus（蘆筍） around a tree at its drip line, the area below the outer limit of the branches. So when it rains, all the rain drips down right on the asparagus.
    The Hoffmans’ website includes a list of vegetables, flowers and herbs that have produced acceptably for them in partial shade. Mr. Hoffman says plants with wider leaves seem to do better in shady environments. He also found that his potatoes did better in partial shade than in full sun.
    Moving them out of the sun helped control an insect problem with leaf hoppers. Mr. Hoffman does not use pesticides (農藥). Instead, he planted the potatoes at the drip line, especially on the east side of the tree. The potatoes get morning sun, but they are shaded during the hottest part of the day. Leaf hoppers dislike shade, and the hottest part of the day is when they do the worst of their damage.
 Time of day, brightness of the sun, shadows from trees, walls and buildings, these all influence how much sunlight falls or does not fall on plants. And extension agent Curtis Swift at Colorado State University says people interested in shade planting should also remember something else. The term “shade” can describe different amounts of darkness. He says it can even mean different things in different parts of the world.
 
46. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To present a kind of eco-friendly lifestyle.
B. To recommend an approach to managing a website.
C. To show vegetables can be planted in the shade.
D. To introduce Mark Hoffman and his family.
47. What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A. Food and flowers produce more in the shade.
B. Food growing in the shade contains more nutrients.
C. Sun can affect the production of some plants.
D. Food growing in the shade is the best choice for most plants.
48. By using asparagus as an example, the author wants to explain that ________.
A. asparagus prefers to grow in the shade
B. how plants and tree roots share water
C. vegetables grow better in partial shade
D. how leaves gain sunshine under the tree
49. The underlined words “leaf hoppers” in Para.5 may be a kind of ________.
A. plants         B. pesticides         C. insects         D. potatoes
50. According to the passage, Curtis Swift may think that ________.
A. people should consider specific situation while planting vegetables in shade
B. some special rules related to shade plantings should be remembered
C. different parts of the world should plant different kinds of vegetables in shade
D. shade planting is influenced by different kinds of soil condition

    Children with autism (自閉癥) have difficulty with social skills and communication. They often behave in limited and repeated ways and have what seem like unusual strong interests.
Autism is more common in boys than girls. What causes it is not clear. Scientists are studying genes and possible environmental influences.
Doctors usually cannot confirm a diagnosis of autism until a child is about three years old. Rebecca Landa is a researcher at the Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Maryland. Professor Landa wanted to find out what differences in development might be seen earlier. She led a new study that observed 235 babies between six and 36 months of age.
“At six months of age, the signs of some risk for developing communication and social delays, including autism, include motor delays, like when you lay your baby on their back and you pull them by the arms gently into a seated position, the baby’s head may nod back behind the shoulders, like poor head control. So that does not mean that the baby is going to have autism, but it does mean the baby needs to have some exercises to strengthen their body. And when they strengthen their body, they are better able to play with toys and engage with people, which then goes on to help them have better outcomes.”
    By the time a baby is one year old, signs of possible autism include difficulty in using words and not looking eye-to-eye or reaching out to other people. By 14 months, the baby might smile less and use language less. However, Professor Landa says these signs can be so small that they might be missed during a short health exam.
    “It’s important for parents to stay tuned in to their children’s development, and if a parent is concerned about a child’s development, for professionals to listen to them.”
    The earlier parents notice delays, she says, the sooner they can begin doing simple things that may help improve their child’s development, such as talking to the child about what they are doing, commenting when the child shows them something, and playing simple games that keep the child’s attention.
51. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Watching for Early Signs of Autism in Babies
B. How to Confirm a Diagnosis of Autism
C. Children with Autism Have Difficulty in Communication
D. Ways to Help Children with Autism to Recover
52. What can we learn from the third paragraph?
   A. Landa has found ways to confirm a diagnosis of autism when a baby is about six      
     months.
B. Landa tried to find out autism earlier by comparing the differences as the baby grows up.
C. Now doctors can confirm diagnosis of autism before a child is about three years old.
D. Doctors observed 235 babies between six and 36 months of age under the guide of Landa.
53. When a baby with signs of possible autism is a year and two months, he or she may ________.
A. show great interest in learning
B. have difficulty in raising his head
C. like reaching out to other people
D. hate to communicate with others
54. What should the parents do when their child is diagnosed with autism?
A. Send the child to the hospital at once.
B. Find a special school for children with autism.
C. Spend more time talking with the child.
D. Encourage the child to play games online.
