9、eries still remain to be solved about the Mona LisaDmany more stories will be told about the Mona Lisa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。4Experts havent had any repairs on the Mona Lisa because_.Ait is now in a poor chemical stateBthey dont know how to replace the wooden panel
