话题:《蒙娜丽莎》人物眉毛争议
When it comes to debates over the Mona Lisa, most people tend to fall into conversation over whether the subject is pretending a smile. __1__—whether the painting shows an image of a woman who has eyebrows (眉毛), as her forehead seems strangely free of follicles (毛囊).
The answer? Perhaps.But not anymore.__2__.It was most stylish for women in 16thcentury Italy to pull out or shave their eyebrows.It's within reason that Lisa Gherardini, who is the suspected model for the painting, may have been lacking in eyebrows for that reason.
In 2007, a French photographer and engineer named Pascal Cotte cast doubt on that idea.Using an advanced camera capable of capturing images of high quality, Cotte claimed he was able to visualize a faint eyebrow hair on her face.__3__.
If Cotte's observation is correct, why only one hair? It's possible, Cotte said, that Da Vinci painted a glaze (釉) over most of the piece and then added further detail on top of it.__4__.The restoration work applied to the painting over time may have accidentally erased her follicular features.Based on his analysis, Cotte visualized other layers of the painting.Da Vinci moved the two left fingers of his subject and had originally made her smile wider, according to the photographer.
Cotte's photos allow observers to make their own judgment about whether Mona Lisa's eyebrows were pulled out.__5__.
A.A more careful analysis might raise another argument
B.No one will deny it's Leonardo Da Vinci's symbolic artwork
C.Perhaps Da Vinci had indeed intended to paint his subject with eyebrows
D.In painting the work, Da Vinci was likely to be recognizing the fashion trends
E.That may have created the situation where the topmost layer was easily damaged
F.It's another element that may make the painting appealing for another 500 years
G.It can clearly be seen that cracks (裂缝) around the eye have slightly disappeared
[语篇解读] 这是一篇说明文。人们一直争议《蒙娜丽莎》中的人物是否在假笑,而本文介绍了另一个争议,画中人物为什么没有眉毛。
1.A 空后下文“—whether the painting shows an image of a woman who has eyebrows (眉毛), as her forehead seems strangely free of follicles (毛囊).(——这幅画是否展示了一个有眉毛的女人的形象,因为她的额头似乎奇怪地没有毛囊。)”介绍了一个新的争议,破折号起解释说明的作用,本句前的破折号是对空处的解释说明。故A选项“更仔细的分析可能会提出另一种争议”切题。
2.D 根据空后下文“It was most stylish for women in 16thcentury Italy to pull out or shave their eyebrows.(对于 16 世纪的意大利女性来说,拔眉毛或剃眉毛是最时尚的。)”可知,拔眉毛或者剃眉毛是当时的流行趋势,所以D项中“Da Vinci was likely to be recognizing the fashion trends(达·芬奇可能认识到了流行趋势)”,符合上下文逻辑关系。
3.C 根据空处上文“Using an advanced camera capable of capturing images of high quality, Cotte claimed he was able to visualize a faint eyebrow hair on her face.(使用能够捕捉高质量图像的先进相机,科特声称他能够看到她脸上一根模糊的眉毛。)”可知,科特看到了人物脸上一根模糊的眉毛,C项“Perhaps Da Vinci had indeed intended to paint his subject with eyebrows.(也许达·芬奇确实打算给他的人物画上眉毛。)”可以解释模糊眉毛的由来,符合上下文逻辑关系。
4.E 空处上文“It's possible, Cotte said, that Da Vinci painted a glaze (釉) over most of the piece and then added further detail on top of it.(科特说,达·芬奇有可能在大部分作品上涂上釉,然后在上面添加更多细节。)”提到了在作品表层上釉,E项中“the situation”就指代这种情况;下文“The restoration work applied to the painting over time may have accidentally erased her follicular features.(随着时间的推移,对这幅画进行的修复工作可能不小心抹去了她的毛囊特征。)”表明画作易受破坏,符合E项“easily damaged”的说法。故E选项“这可能造成了最上层很容易被破坏的情况”切题。
5.F 根据空处上文“Cotte's photos allow observers to make their own judgment about whether Mona Lisa's eyebrows were pulled out.(科特的照片让观察者可以自行判断蒙娜丽莎的眉毛是否被拔掉。)”可知,科特的照片让观察者做出自己的判断,这会让人们对这幅画继续争论下去,从而吸引观众,所以F项符合上下文因果关系。故F选项“这是另一个因素,可能会使这幅画再吸引人500年”切题。
