本文介绍了堪称世界上最伟大的天才——达•芬奇在发明、艺术等方面为人类所作的巨大贡献，文章层次分明，通俗易懂。
答案简析
1.C。为了引出话题人物━━达•芬奇，这里引用了设问手法，问题应表示“是谁画了世界上最著名的画”，故选择动词painted。
2.B。对人体比较了解的莫过于医生了，将达•芬奇与医生相比才能显示其对人体的精通。故选择doctors。
3.A。介词to常表示一一对应的关系，“问题的答案”习惯表达为an answer to a question。
4.D。达•芬奇应是世人所知道的天才中最伟大的人，the world 一般指每个人，相当于第三人称单数，故people为正确选项。
5.D。draw和paint不合文意, work为不及物动词，不能直接接宾语。在那个时代，达•芬奇所不能做的应是制造飞机，故选择build。
6.B。这一句起承上启下的作用，意为“达•芬奇不仅仅是一名发明家”，故选择 wasn’t just。
7.C。less和no不合文章，very不能用来修饰比较级，而even常用来修饰比较级，意为“甚至更……”，故为正确选项。
8.A。为了使自己的画达到最高境界，应在画这幅画之前去尝试不同的画法，所以应选before。
9.B。达•芬奇的画今天依然保存在世，为本文作者以及读者所共享，所以应选us。
10.C。达•芬奇的名作━━Mona Lisa以画中人物面部神秘的微笑而名扬天下，故选smiling。
