1.1.
A
B
C
D
解析：选well。此空考查短语“go well”，意为“进展顺利”。本句想表达的是“但他进展得并不顺利”，所以此空应填well。
2.2.
A
B
C
D
解析：选to paint。此空考查短语“ask sb to do sth”，意为“要求某人做某事”。本句想表达的是“她丈夫要求达芬奇为她画一幅肖像”，所以此空应填动词不定式to paint。
3.3.
A
B
C
D
解析：选and。分析句子结构可知，前后两个句子“After da Vinci finished the painting in 1506”和“he was invited by the French King to visit France”都是完整的句子，且这两个句子之间存在逻辑上的顺承关系，所以此空需要一个连词来连接这两个句子。又因为“he took the painting with him”是对“he was invited by the French King to visit France”的进一步说明，表示“他带着这幅画”，所以此空应填连词and。
4.4.
A
B
C
D
解析：选visitors。此空考查名词复数。空格前有数词“six million”修饰，所以此空应填名词的复数形式。又因为“visitor”意为“参观者”，所以此空应填visitors。

A
B
C
D
解析：选with。此句中“is painted”为被动语态的谓语部分，所以此空应填介词与“painted”构成被动语态的短语。又因为“paint sth with sth”意为“用……画……”，所以此空应填介词with。
6.6.
A
B
C
D
解析：选his。本句中“it”为代词，指代前文提到的“the painting”，所以空格处应填一个可以修饰“coat”的代词。又因为“he”为主格代词，不能修饰名词，所以此空应填其形容词性物主代词his。
7.7.
A
B
C
D
解析：选the。本句中，“painting”为名词，且为单数形式，所以空格处应填一个可以修饰“painting”的冠词或代词。又因为前文提到了“the Mona Lisa”，且此句想表达的是“两年后，警察在他试图卖画时发现了这幅画”，所以此空应填定冠词the。
8.8.
A
B
C
D
解析：选taken。分析句子结构可知，“the Mona Lisa”为句子的主语，“in 1962”为时间状语，“to Washington and New York for artwork shows”为目的状语，所以句子缺少谓语部分。又因为主语“the Mona Lisa”与“take”为被动关系，且句子为一般过去时，所以谓语是一般过去时的被动语态was taken，此空应填taken。
9.9.
A
B
C
D
解析：选wanted。本句中缺少谓语部分。又因为句子为一般过去时，且主语“the museum”为第三人称单数，所以此空应填一般过去时的第三人称单数形式wanted。
10.10.
A
B
C
D
解析：选valuable。本句中“painting”为名词，且为单数形式，所以空格处应填一个可以修饰“painting”的形容词。又因为“value”的形容词形式为“valuable”，意为“有价值的”，所以此空应填valuable。
