We were on tour a few summers ago, driving through Chicago，when right outside of the city, we got pulled over(被迫停车). A middle-aged policeman came up to the car and was really being troublesome at first. He said, “ You were speeding. Where are you going in such a hurry?” Our guitarist, Tim, told him that we were on our way to Wisconsin to play a show. Then his way towards us totally changed. He asked, “Oh, so you boys are in a band(乐队)?” We told him that we were. He then asked all the usual band questions about the type of music we played and how long we had been at it.

Suddenly, he stopped and said, “Tim, you want to get out of this ticket, don’t you?” Tim said, “Yes.” So the officer asked him to step out of the car. The rest of us, inside the car, didn’t know what to think as we watched the policeman talk to Tim. Then the policeman put Tim in the back of the police car and threw the car into reverse(倒车), stopping a few feet in back of our car.

Now we suddenly felt frightened. We didn’t know if we were all going to prison. Suddenly, the policeman’s voice came over in a loudspeaker. He said, “Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time ever, we have Tim here singing on Route 90.” Later we knew, the policeman had told Tim that if he sang one of our songs over the loudspeaker in the police car, we would get out of the ticket. Seconds later, Tim started screaming into the receiver. The policeman enjoyed the performance, and sent us on our way without a ticket.

1.Why did the policeman stop the boys?

A. Because they drove too fast.

B. Because they were late for their show.

C. Because they didn’t see the policeman.

D. Because they had to answer the band questions.

2.The policeman became friendly to the boys when he knew they __________.

A. were famous singers　　 B. were driving for a show

C. didn’t break the traffic rules　　 D. promised him a performance

3.The underlined word “ticket” in paragraph 2 means “a piece of paper that __________.”

A. allows you to enter a cinema

B. shows the price or size in a shop

C. shows that you have paid to travel on a bus

D. orders you to pay money because you have done something wrong

The Mona Lisa, one of the world’s most famous paintings, has been recreated with 3,604 cups of coffee—and 564 pints of milk. The different colors were created by adding no, little or lots of milk to each cup of black coffee.

The recreated Mona Lisa measured 20 feet long and 13 feet wide. It took a team of eight people three hours to complete the work. It was created for The Rocks Aroma Festival in Sydney, Australia, and seen by 130,000 people who attended the one-day coffee-lovers event.

Elaine Kelly, one of the organizers from the Sydney Harbor Foreshore Authority, was delighted with the result. She said, “Each coffee cup was filled with varying amounts of milk to create the different shades(色度) of the painting. We wanted to create an element of surprise and a sense of fun in the way we communicated with the public.”

“Once we had the idea of creating an image(像) out of coffee cups we searched for something iconic（有代表性的）to reproduce(复制).And after some time we chose the most iconic painting in history. The Mona Lisa has been reproduced so many times in so many different mediums but, as far as we know, never out of coffee,” Kelly continued. “Besides, the idea is practical.”

“It was fantastic. It really looked like the famous painting—the Mona Lisa. It was wonderful,” said one visitor.

After much planning it was great to see it coming together so well and the 130,000 people who attended the event certainly enjoyed it and were deeply attracted by it,” said Kelly.

1.How were the different colors of the recreated Moma Lisa created?

A.By adding different amounts of black coffee to each cup of milk.

B.By adding different amounts of milk to each cup of black coffee.

C.By using paints of different colors

D.By using different kinds of coffee

2.How large is the recreated Mona Lisa?

A. 20 square feet               B. 260 square feet

C. 564 square feet              D. 3,604 square feet

3.The people who saw the recreated Mona Lisa are all_______ lovers.

A.Mona Lisa      B.milk     C.coffee     D.painting

4.The event organizers chose to recreate the Mona Lisa for the following reasons EXCEPT that _________ .

A. the Mona Lisa is a very iconic painting in history
