According to the findings which will be published in the New Scientist, Mona Lisas exact emotions were 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry. Dr Nicu Sebe, a professor at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, used emotion-recognition software to come up with the exact analysis of Mona Lisas emotional state. The software rated features such as the curvature(曲度)of the lips and crinkles around the eyes. The program draws on a database of young female faces to get an average “neutral” expression. The software uses this average expression as the standard for comparisons. Other applications of emotion-recognition software might be to detect terror suspects on the basis of their emotions as well as their physical characteristics. Possibly the most famous portrait of all time, Mona Lisas mystic expression has puzzled art lovers for five centuries. In 2003, a scientist from Harvard University said the way the human eye processes visual information meant her smile was only apparent when the viewer looked at other parts of the painting. The painting, which is on public display in the Louvre in Paris, was painted between 1503-1506. It was thought to be named after the sitter(被畫像的人), most likely the wife of Francesco del Giocondo, an Italian living in Florence. Mona Lisa features in the opening of Dan Browns hit novel The da Vinci Code when the curator(圖書館館長) at the Louvre is found dead near the painting. (270W)1.

A. her certain facial featuresB. the change of her smileC. the paint on the paintingD. all the parts of the painting3. The practical use of emotion-recognition software might be to. A. draw lively paintingsB. show the painter of an ancient paintingC. help the police detect a criminalD. examine the value of a painting4. According to the passage Mona Lisa was probably. A. Leonardo da Vincis wifeB. a rich woman living in ParisC. a curator at the LouvreD. married to an Italian in Florence5. What is the best title for the passage? A. Mona Lisa “Happy”, Computer FindsB. Another Mona Lisa, Computer CopiesC. New Application of Software to PaintingD. Artists Puzzled by Mona Lisas Smile. 任務(wù)型閱讀請(qǐng)認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文, 并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一個(gè)最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。注意: 請(qǐng)將答案寫在相應(yīng)題號(hào)的橫線上。每個(gè)空格只填一個(gè)單詞。Museums have changed. They are no longer places that one “should” go to but to enjoy. At a science museum in Canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body. At the Childrens Museum in New York, you can play an African drum. There are no “Do Not Touch” sign in some other museums in the USA. More and more museum directors have realized that people learn best when they can become part of what they are seeing. In many science museums, the visitors are encouraged to touch, listen, operate and experiment so as to discover scientific rules for themselves. The purpose is not only to provide fun, but also help people feel at home in the world of science. If people dont understand science, they will be afraid of it; and if they are afraid of science, they will not make the best use of it. One cause of all these changes is the increase in wealth and spare time. Another cause is that the number of young people grow in the population. Many of them are college students or college graduates. They see things in a new and different way. They want art that they can take part in. The same is true of science and history. The old museums have been changing and the government is encouraging the building of new, modern museums. In the United States and Canada, there are more than 6, 000 museums, twice as many as there were 25 years ago.
