Mona Lisa’s painting is a work of art that has fascinated people around the world for decades. Many have often wondered about the features of this painting and now it seems that the mystery behind her lopsided smile may have finally been【C1】______.
An Indian physician named Mandeep Mehra believes that Lisa Gherardini, or the muse to Da Vinci’s timeless creation, was sick. Mehra’s study that reveals the medical diagnosis of the reasons behind the【C2】______of Mona Lisa has been published in the journal of Mayo Clinic Proceedings. As【C3】______by Dr. Mehra, "I don’t know how to appreciate art, but I sure do know how to make a clinical diagnosis. " She suffered from a(n)【C4】______condition of hypothyroidism or an underactive thyroid gland (甲状腺), say Mehra and his co-author. Due to this condition, she had a very evident lump in her neck, a(n)【C5】______hairline, a yellowish tint to her skin and a half-lopsided smile on her face. She also had【C6】______swollen hands, argue the authors. All of these symptoms point to one condition—hypothyroidism that is caused by an underactive thyroid gland. It is basically a severe【C7】______of iodine (碘) in the daily diet, an element which is commonly found in seafood, eggs, bread, and dairy products.
The results of the study expose that famine was a common【C8】______five centuries ago and seafood was an uncommon product. This resulted in diets that primarily【C9】______of fruit and vegetables, without any livestock or dairy components. In addition to that, it is believed that her lopsided smile can be【C10】______to a significant disability that is the result of muscle weakness.
A) acute I) exposed
B) appearance J) indispensable
C) attributed K) occurrence
D) challenged L) receding
E) claimed M) seemingly
F) consisted N) surplus
G) cracked O) visibly
H) deficiency [br] 【C6】
选项
答案
O
解析
空格后为形容词swollen“肿胀的”,很可能应填入副词来修饰。两个副词中,M)seemingly表示“看似,表面上”,一般强调和实际情况相反或者没有确凿证据;O)visibly则表示“明显地,易察觉地”,上文出现的a very evident lump和a yellowish tint都是肉眼可见的外貌特征,所以这里应该是指“蒙娜丽莎的手部出现了明显的肿胀”,故选择O)。
