Sheiswidelyseenasproofthatgoodlookscanlastforever.But，atnearly500yearsofage，timeiscatchingupwiththeMonaLisa.

Thehealthofthefamouspicture，paintedbyLeonardodaVinciin1505，isgettingworsebytheyear，accordingtotheLouvreMuseumwhereitishoused.

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。
