Like many old ladies,the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.
1.The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means the Mona Lisa________.
A.is losing its value
B.is being damaged after so many years
C.is getting more valuable with years passing
D.will rot away
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.The smile of the Mona Lisa can only be seen________.
A.by indirect vision
B.at a distance
C.by direct vision
D.in shadows
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。
