　　答案簡析

　　1.C。為了引出話題人物━━達?芬奇，這里引用了設(shè)問手法，問題應(yīng)表示“是誰畫了世界上最著名的畫”，故選擇動詞painted。

　　2.B。對人體比較了解的莫過于醫(yī)生了，將達?芬奇與醫(yī)生相比才能顯示其對人體的精通。故選擇doctors。

　　3.A。介詞to常表示一一對應(yīng)的關(guān)系，“問題的答案”習(xí)慣表達為an answer to a question。

　　4.D。達?芬奇應(yīng)是世人所知道的天才中最偉大的人，the world 一般指每個人，相當(dāng)于第三人稱單數(shù)，故people為正確選項。

　　5.D。draw和paint不合文意， work為不及物動詞，不能直接接賓語。在那個時代，達?芬奇所不能做的應(yīng)是制造飛機，故選擇build。

　　6.B。這一句起承上啟下的作用，意為“達?芬奇不僅僅是一名發(fā)明家”，故選擇 wasn’t just。

　　7.C。less和no不合文章，very不能用來修飾比較級，而even常用來修飾比較級，意為“甚至更……”，故為正確選項。

　　8.A。為了使自己的畫達到最高境界，應(yīng)在畫這幅畫之前去嘗試不同的畫法，所以應(yīng)選before。

　　9.B。達?芬奇的畫今天依然保存在世，為本文作者以及讀者所共享，所以應(yīng)選us。

　　10.C。達?芬奇的名作━━Mona Lisa以畫中人物面部神秘的微笑而名揚天下，故選smiling。
