Tradition has it that Leonardo da Vinci worked for ten years upon the painting; the monks in the church were annoyed at the delay. It was said that Leonardo often painted continuously from dawn to night without eating his meals. But at other times he spent hours before the picture, lost in contemplation,_examining, comparing, and measuring his figures.This inactivity aroused the anger of the fussy Prior, the head of the church, who belonged to the large group of those who believed that the busier a man seems, the more he accomplishes; and so he tried to findfaultwith the idle painter. Leonardo was slightly unhappy and explained to somebody else that there is a great difference between the work of the creative artist and the stonemason (石匠). The creative artist needs time for contemplation; he may be busiest when his hands are idlest. Just now he needed two heads to complete the picture: that of Christ, for which no model on earth could be found, for where was the man to be found whose face would express the strength, and beauty, and tenderness, and deep sorrow of the Christ; then he also needed a head of Judas, and that was hard to find as well, for where was the man whose face could express the meanness of that base traitor. But he would look no further; if none camehisway， he would be satisfied to take Prior as a model for Judas. This threat silenced the angry Prior, who quite naturally had no desire to pass to descendants in such a fashion.1Why did the Prior complain about the delay?ABecause he thought that the painter idled most of the hours.BBecause he knew that genius might be busiest when seemingly idlest.CBecause he liked the work of a stonemason.DBecause he was eager to be taken as a model for Judas.答案：A推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“. who believed that the busier a man seems, the more he accomplishes; and so he tried to find fault with the idle painter”可知，院长抱怨达芬奇画画延误了，因为他觉得画家虚度了大部分时间。故选A。2What does the underlined word “contemplation” in Paragraph 1 mean?APossibility. BIntention.CDeep thought. DGreat expectation.答案：C词义猜测题。上文描述达芬奇有时连续作画甚至不思饮食，由画线词所在句句首的“But”可知，此处应与上文形成反义对比，表明没有作画，而是花费数小时在画前，检查、对比、测量他的人物。由此可推知lost in contemplation的意思是“陷入深思”。故选C。3What can we conclude from the passage?AThe painter was pleased with the Priors anger.BThe Prior was angry because he thought the painter did not work hard.CThe painter took one of the monks as a model for Christ.DThe painter took one of the monks as a model for Judas.答案：B细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句中的“This inactivity aroused the anger of the fussy Prior .”可知，院长很生气，因为他觉得达芬奇没有努力画画。故选B。4Why did the Prior stop complaining?AHe did not wish to be remembered like an evil traitor after he died.BHe wanted to be painted as a tender Christ.CHe disliked to be painted in fashionable clothes.DHe was pleased to be a fashionable model.答案：A细节理解题。根据文章最后两句“But he would look no further; if none came his way, he would be satisfied to take Prior as a model for Judas. This threat silenced the angry Prior, who quite naturally had no desire to pass to descendants in such a fashion.”可知，院长停止
