Ⅲ.阅读理解

It is a tiny portrait of one of the most powerful women of the Renaissance. And for more than 50 years the old BBC journalist Charles Wheeler kept the picture of Eleonora of Toledo on his bookshelf.

But yesterday Wheeler returned the painting to Berlin's Gemäldegalerie after discovering that it was a priceless original looted (掠夺) from the museum during the Second World War, not a copy as he had thought.

Wheeler, 83, acquired the 16th­century portrait by the Florentine artist Alessandro Allori from a German farmer who dropped in to the BBC's West Berlin office. “It was 1952.At the time people could move freely between East and West，”he said yesterday. “We were doing a programme called Letters Without Signature, where people living in the eastern zone could write a letter. The farmer reached into his pocket, took out a brown envelope and said it was a wedding present for me.” The farmer claimed he had got it from a Russian soldier in exchange for two sacks of potatoes to make vodka. Over the next 50­plus years Wheeler, one of the BBC's most distinguished foreign journalists, took the miniature (小画像) with him. “I was burgled four times over the years，”he said. “People were always taking my TV and radio. But they ignored the painting.”

It was only last year while making a BBC radio series on missing art that Wheeler realised the painting could have been stolen. After contacting the London­based Commission for Looted Art in Europe the work was swiftly identified as a minor masterpiece and returned yesterday to Berlin's picture gallery, where it was last seen in 1939.

Yesterday Anne Webber, co­chair of the commission, hailed (赞扬) the work as one of the “earliest diplomatic portraits of a woman”. “It's a charming painting，” she said. The miniature depicts (描绘) Eleonora of Toledo，whose husband Cosimo de Medici was one of Renaissance Italy's most powerful men.

【解题导语】　一位记者得到一幅意大利文艺复兴时期一位妇女的画像，但他以为是复制品，因此并没有在意。在保存了50多年以后，他最后得知画像是柏林艺术馆在二战中被盗的真品，于是他把这幅画归还给了该艺术馆。

A．he thought it was of little value

B．he thought it would be safer there

C．he liked the picture very much

D．he wanted it to be seen by others

2. The miniature was probably taken from the Berlin's picture gallery by        .

B．a German farmer

C．a Russian soldier

D．a worker at the gallery

解析：选C　推理判断题。由第三段可知，这幅画是一个德国农民从一个俄国士兵手中用两袋土豆换来的。由此可以推断，该画很可能在战乱中落入一个俄国士兵手中。

3. In what way is the miniature considered to be priceless?

A. It survived the Second World War.

B．It depicts a powerful woman of the Renaissance.

C．It is a masterpiece by a famous artist in Germany.

D．It was painted more than 50 years ago.

A. the painting was drawn by a woman of the Renaissance

B．Allori gave the journalist the painting as a wedding present　

C．Charles Wheeler has kept the painting for over 50 years

Ⅴ.短文改错

Dear Editor，

I'm writing to tell you about a food poisoning accident. Several days ago, my neighbor ate a bag of food buying from the market. After the meal, they had stomachaches and their faces turn pale. Lucky, one of their friends found the accident and immediately called an ambulance, which carried them quickly to a hospital. After several hours' treatment they finally escaped of death.

As some illegal businessmen are only interested in making profits to become rich quickly, we seldom care about the necessary safety measures or which happens to consumers. They must be have charged by law. Meanwhile, I do hope whole society can realize the important of food safety.
