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] 【C7】
选项
答案
H
解析
空格出现在形容词severe和介词of之间,且前面有不定冠词a,故应填入名词。从语法和句意上来看,H)deficiency“缺乏,不足”和N)surplus“过剩,剩余”似乎都说得通,但结合下文可知,碘常见于海鲜等食物,而在蒙娜丽莎那个时代,海鲜属于稀缺食品,由此可知,她的疾病不是由于碘过剩,而是由于碘缺乏所致,故选H)deficiency。
