问题     After three years of precise analysis, X-rays and infrared(红外线的)imaging, experts claim to have uncovered the only surviving portrait of William Shakespeare painted during his life. The oil canvas(油画)is thought to have been painted in 1610—six years before the playwright’s death—when he was about 46 years old.
    For three centuries the family who kept it was【C1】______of the identity of the figure in the portrait. According to Alec Cobbe, an art restorer(做修复工作的人), at one【C2】______it had been thought to be of Sir Walter Raleigh.

Prof Wells said: "My first impression was skepticism—I am a scholar. But my【C9】______has grown with the amount of evidence about the painting. ""I am willing to go 90 percent of the way to declaring my confirmation that this is the only life time portrait of Shakespeare. It marks a【C10】______development in the history of Shakespearian portraiture."

选项
答案K
解析 名词辨析题。空格前为the，空格处应为名词。本句两次出现the painting，第一次thepainting指悬挂于华盛顿福尔杰莎士比亚图书馆的莎士比亚画像，第二次指Cobbe本人拥有的画像。因为Cobbe的画像在首段就被确定为莎士比亚的画像，所以当Cobbe看到图书馆的画像，稍经对比就意识到该画像和自己的那幅有相似之处，所以应填入similarities。
