答案簡(jiǎn)析：

1.C.為了引出話(huà)題人物——達(dá)·芬奇，這里引用了設(shè)問(wèn)手法，問(wèn)題應(yīng)表示“是誰(shuí)畫(huà)了世界上最著名的畫(huà)”，故選擇動(dòng)詞painted.

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

3.A.介詞to常表示一一對(duì)應(yīng)的關(guān)系，“問(wèn)題的答案”習(xí)慣表達(dá)為an answer to a question.

4.D.達(dá)·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(gè)人，相當(dāng)于第三人稱(chēng)單數(shù)，故people為正確選項(xiàng)。

和paint不合文意， work為不及物動(dòng)詞，不能直接接賓語(yǔ)。在那個(gè)時(shí)代，達(dá)·芬奇所不能做的應(yīng)是制造飛機(jī)，故選擇build.

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

和no不合文章，very不能用來(lái)修飾比較級(jí)，而even常用來(lái)修飾比較級(jí)，意為“甚至更……”，故為正確選項(xiàng)。

8.A.為了使自己的畫(huà)達(dá)到最高境界，應(yīng)在畫(huà)這幅畫(huà)之前去嘗試不同的畫(huà)法，所以應(yīng)選before.

9.B.達(dá)·芬奇的畫(huà)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(dá)·芬奇的名作——Mona Lisa以畫(huà)中人物面部神秘的微笑而名揚(yáng)天下，故選smiling.
