The mystery of Leonardo da Vinci’s famous Mona Lisa painting has been cracked with the help of emotion-recognition software by scientists recently.
According to the findings which will be published in the New Scientist, Mona Lisa’s 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 Lisa’s 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 Lisa’s 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(被画像的人), most likely the wife of Francesco del Giocondo, an Italian living in Florence.
Mona Lisa features in the opening of Dan Brown’s hit novel The da Vinci Code when the curator(图书馆馆长) at the Louvre is found dead near the painting. (270W)
1. The underlined word “cracked” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to“ ”.
A. accepted
B. broken
C. discussed
D. analyzed
2. According to the passage, the software judged Mona Lisa’s emotion by .
A. her certain facial features
B. the change of her smile
C. the paint on the painting
D. all the parts of the painting
3. The practical use of emotion-recognition software might be to .
A. draw lively paintings
B. show the painter of an ancient painting
C. help the police detect a criminal
D. examine the value of a painting
4. According to the passage Mona Lisa was probably .
A. Leonardo da Vinci’s wife
B. a rich woman living in Paris
C. a curator at the Louvre
D. married to an Italian in Florence
5. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Mona Lisa “Happy”, Computer Finds
B. Another Mona Lisa, Computer Copies
C. New Application of Software to Painting
D. Artists Puzzled by Mona Lisa’s Smile
Ⅲ. 任务型阅读
请认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意: 请将答案写在相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。
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 Children’s 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 don’t 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.
