11.She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever.But,at nearly 500 years of age,time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.
The health of the famous picture,painted by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1505,is getting worse by the year,according to the Louvre Museum (盧浮宮博物館) where it is housed."The thin,wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago."the museum said.Visitors have noticed the changes but repairing the world's most famous painting is not easy.Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current (現(xiàn)在的)chemical state.
Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year,many attracted by the mystery of her smile."It is very interesting that when you're not looking at her,she seems to be smiling,and then you look at her and she stops,"said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University."It's because direct vision is excellent at picking up detail,but less suited to looking at shadows.Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows."
However,the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile.Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him,until it was finally sold to France's King Francis I in 1519.
In 1911,the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee,who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat.He said he planned to return it to Italy.The painting was sent back to France two years later.
During World WarⅡ,F(xiàn)rench hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German soldiers.Like many old ladies,the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.

分析 本文講述了達(dá)芬奇的名畫(蒙娜麗莎),她的微笑一直是世人所不理解的但隨著時(shí)間的流逝,該作品受到了損壞.
解答 1.B句意理解題.首先由轉(zhuǎn)折詞but判斷,本句的意思應(yīng)和文章前面所說的"美貌是永恒的"意義相反,后面介紹說《蒙娜麗莎》的健康狀況隨著歲月的流逝在惡化,畫板已變形,因此斷定此處的意思是指隨著歲月的流逝,名畫《蒙娜麗莎》已受到了損壞.
2.D推理判斷題.文章第三段介紹專家們對(duì)名畫《蒙娜麗莎》也不敢輕舉妄動(dòng),原因是他們也不清楚當(dāng)時(shí)達(dá)芬奇嗦使用的顏料以及這幅畫現(xiàn)在的化學(xué)狀況,因此可推斷出他們沒有對(duì)畫做修復(fù)是怕弄巧成拙,進(jìn)一步損壞這幅名畫.
3.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題.文章四段提出,人們"正視"時(shí),往往看不到"蒙娜麗莎"的微笑,原因是當(dāng)時(shí)達(dá)芬奇是在暗處作的畫,因此只有人們"不正視"時(shí),才能看到她的微笑.
4.C推理判斷題.文章前面提到《蒙娜麗莎》的歷史像她的微笑一樣是個(gè)迷,因此最后一段的意思是她還有一些秘密等待人們?nèi)ソ议_.
點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文講述了達(dá)芬奇的名畫(蒙娜麗莎)的一個(gè)故事,題目涉及多道細(xì)節(jié)理解題,做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù).
