　　名師點評

　　本文介紹了堪稱世界上最偉大的天才——達·芬奇在發明、藝術等方面為人類所作的巨大貢獻，文章層次分明，通俗易懂。

　　參考答案：

　　1.C。為了引出話題人物━━達·芬奇，這里引用了設問手法，問題應表示“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生了，將達·芬奇與醫生相比才能顯示其對人體的精通。故選擇doctors。

　　3.A。介詞to常表示一一對應的關系，“問題的答案”習慣表達為an answer to a question。

　　4.D。達·芬奇應是世人所知道的天才中最偉大的人，the world 一般指每個人，相當于第三人稱單數，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，應在畫這幅畫之前去嘗試不同的畫法，所以應選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。
