Question

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 （卢浮宫博物馆） 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 （现在的）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，French 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．

Answer 1

分析 本文讲述了达芬奇的名画（蒙娜丽莎），她的微笑一直是世人所不理解的但随着时间的流逝，该作品受到了损坏．

解答 1．B句意理解题．首先由转折词but判断，本句的意思应和文章前面所说的"美貌是永恒的"意义相反，后面介绍说《蒙娜丽莎》的健康状况随着岁月的流逝在恶化，画板已变形，因此断定此处的意思是指随着岁月的流逝，名画《蒙娜丽莎》已受到了损坏．
2．D推理判断题．文章第三段介绍专家们对名画《蒙娜丽莎》也不敢轻举妄动，原因是他们也不清楚当时达芬奇嗦使用的颜料以及这幅画现在的化学状况，因此可推断出他们没有对画做修复是怕弄巧成拙，进一步损坏这幅名画．
3．A细节理解题．文章四段提出，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作的画，因此只有人们"不正视"时，才能看到她的微笑．
4．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迷，因此最后一段的意思是她还有一些秘密等待人们去揭开．

点评 本文讲述了达芬奇的名画（蒙娜丽莎）的一个故事，题目涉及多道细节理解题，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案．推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据．
