29、sabled boy since they became classmates.40. Sharon Draper is probably a(n) _.A. editor B. doctor C. teacher D. writerBLeonardo da Vinci, one of the greatest thinkers in the world, began his career as an artist. Very little is known about Leonardos early life. He was born in 1452 in the town of Vinci
30、. 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
31、 was an exciting time to be in Florence, one of the cultural capitals of Europe. Leonardo trained with one of the citys very successful artists, Andrea del Verrocchio. He was a painter, sculptor and gold worker. Verrocchio told his students that they needed to understand the bodys bones and muscles
32、when drawing people. Leonardo took the teachers 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
33、 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.Leonardos first known portrait now hangs in the National Gallery in Washington, D.C. He made this painting
34、 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 Verrocchios painting “Baptism of Ch
35、rist.” One story says that when Verrocchio saw Leonardos addition to the painting, he was so amazed by his students skill that he said he would never paint again.41.

39、work terrible.C. Verrocchio thought highly of Leonardos work.D. Verrocchio didnt believe Leonardo could paint well.CNot 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 fr
40、om 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 often ask how to plant in shade spaces. He said, “The bottom line here is that mos
41、t 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 morni
42、ng 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（芦笋） around a tree at its drip line, the area below the outer lim
43、it 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 al
44、so 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 (农药). Instead, he planted the potatoes at the drip line, especially on the east side of the tree. The potatoes ge
45、t 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 doe
46、s 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.
47、 Whats the authors 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 sh
