Module 2　The Renaissance;晨读晚诵;Mona Lisa,the mysterious woman in Leonardo da Vinci’s 16th century masterpiece,had just given birth to her second son when she sat for the painting,a French art expert said on Tuesday.The discovery was made by a team of Canadian scientists who used special technology to peer through the paint layers on the work,which now sits in the Louvre museum in Paris. One of the researchers said that on very close examination of the painting it became clear that the Mona Lisa’s dress was covered in a thin transparent gauze.This type of dress was typical of the kind worn in early 16th century Italy by women who were pregnant or who had just given birth.This is something that had never been seen up to now because the painting was always judged to be dark and difficult to examine.;The team had hoped to discover more details about Leonardo’s painting technique,which the artist used to create a hazy effect.But scientist John Taylor said the team had been frustrated by the lack of brush stroke detail on the painting. 1.peer v.仔细看 2.gauze n.薄纱 3.hazy adj.朦胧的 The team had hoped to discover more details about Leonardo’s painting technique,which the artist used to create a hazy effect.;had hoped to do sth.表示“原希望做某事,但没成功”。which引导的是非限制性定语从句。 句意:研究小组原希望揭示有关达·芬奇油画技巧的更多细节,达·芬奇用这种技巧来创造一种朦胧的效果。 导读诱思 1.When did Mona Lisa sit for the painting according to the passage? ? 2.What had the team hoped to do? ? 答案:1.After she had just given birth to her second son. 2.To discover more details about Leonardo’s painting technique.;Section Ⅰ　Introduction,Reading Vocabulary;一;一;一;一;一;一;一;一;　Post-reading　? 五、再读课文,完成以下短文,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的适当形式。 The Renaissance,a French word,1.　　　　　 means rebirth,appeared in the English language in the 19th century.It 2.　　　　　 (describe) a period of exploration and the beginning of the modern world.From Italy,it spread all over Europe where the artists found new ideas for 3.
