1.TheunderlinedsentenceinthefirstparagraphmeanstheMonaLisa________.
A.islosingitsvalue
B.isbeingdamagedaftersomanyyears
C.isgettingmorevaluablewithyearspassing
D.willrotaway
答案:
B 细节理解题。
首先,由转折词But判断,本句的意思应和文章前面所说“美貌是永恒的”在意义上相反。
后面又介绍说“蒙娜·丽莎”的健康状况随着岁月的流逝而恶化,画的木板变形,因此断定此处的意思是指随着岁月的流逝,名画《蒙娜·丽莎》受到了损坏。
2.ThesmileoftheMonaLisacanonlybeseen________.
A.byindirectvisionB.atadistance
C.bydirectvisionD.inshadows
答案:
A 细节理解题。
文章第四段提到,人们“正视”时,往往看不到“蒙娜·丽莎”的微笑,原因是当时达·芬奇是在暗处画得画,因此只有人们“不正视”时,才能看到她的微笑。
3.Fromthelastparagraph,wecaninferthat________.
A.manyinterestingstorieshavebeenwrittenabouttheMonaLisa
B.peopleareinterestedinthestoriesabouttheMonaLisa
C.somemysteriesstillremaintobesolvedabouttheMonaLisa
D.manymorestorieswillbetoldabouttheMonaLisa
答案:
C 推理判断题。
文章前面提到“蒙娜·丽莎”的历史像她的微笑一样是个谜,因此最后一段的意思是她还有一些秘密未被人知。
4.Expertshaven'thadanyrepairsontheMonaLisabecause________.
A.itisnowinapoorchemicalstate
B.theydon'tknowhowtoreplacethewoodenpanel
C.theydon'thavethematerialsDaVinciused
D.theyareafraiditwillbedonefurtherdamage
答案:
D 推理判断题。
根据第三段最后一句可知,专家对于达·芬奇所用的材料及材料现在的化学状态没有把握,也就是说担心盲目修补会更加损坏此画。
A项讲此画状况极差,观点过激与本文不符;B项本文未提及;C项与第三段最后一句不符。
