The Mona Lisa painting now hangs in the Musee du Louvre in Paris. The painting’s increasing fame was further emphasized when it was stolen on 21 August 1911. The next day, Louis Beroud, a painter, walked into the Louvre and went to the Salon Carre where the Mona Lisa had been on display for five years. However, where the Mona Lisa should have stood, he found four iron pegs. Beroud contacted the section head of the guards, who thought the painting was being photographed for marketing purposes. A few hours later, Beroud checked back with the section head of the museum, and it was confirmed that the Mona Lisa was not with the photographers. The Louvre was closed for an entire week to aid in investigation of the theft.
French poet Guillaume Apollinaire, who had once called for the Louvre to be " burnt down," came under suspicion; he was arrested and put in jail. Apollinaire tried to implicate his friend Pablo Picasso, who was also brought in for questioning, but both were later exonerated. At the time, the painting was believed to be lost forever, and it was two years before the real thief was discovered. Louvre employee Vincenzo Peruggia had stolen it by entering the building during regular hours, hiding in a broom closet and walking out with it hidden under his coat after the museum had closed. Peruggia was an Italian patriot who believed Leonardo’s painting should be returned to Italy for display in an Italian museum. Peruggia may have also been motivated by a friend who sold copies of the painting, which would skyrocket in value after the theft of the original. After having kept the painting in his apartment for two years, Peruggia grew impatient and was finally caught when he attempted to sell it to the directors of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence; it was exhibited all over Italy and returned to the Louvre in 1913. Peruggia was hailed for his patriotism in Italy and only served six months in jail for the crime.
During World War II , the painting was again removed from the Louvre and taken safely, first to Chateau d’Amboise, then to the Loc - Dieu Abbey and Chateau de Chambord, then finally to the Ingres Museum in Montauban. In 1956, the lower part of the painting was severely damaged when a vandal doused the painting with acid. On 30 December of that same year, a young Bolivian named Ugo Ungaza Villegas damaged the painting by throwing a rock at it. This resulted in the loss of a speek of pigment near the left elbow, which was later painted over. The use of bulletproof glass has shielded the Mona Lisa from more recent attacks. In April 1794, a handicapped woman, upset by the museum’s policy for the disabled, sprayed red paint at the painting while it was on display at the Tokyo Natinal Museum. On 2 August 2009, a Russian woman, distraught over being denied French citizenship, threw a terra cotta mug or teacup, purchased at the museum, at the painting in the Louvre; the vessel shattered against the glass enclosure. In both cases, the painting was undamaged.

选项
A、the section head of the guard
B、French poet Guillaume Apollinaire
C、Pablo Picasso
D、a Louvre employee called Vincenzo Peruggia
答案
D
解析
这是一道考察细节的题型。题干要求:找出1911年8月21日《蒙娜丽莎》是被谁偷走的?这道题有相当大的迷惑性,文章第一段出现了题干中的时间,即1911年8月21日,但是并未具体讲到是被谁偷走,而且文章中也多次出现人名,因此考生容易在这里出现误判。而问题的真正答案却是在第二段讲述中提到:“Louvre employee Vincenzo Peruggia had stolen it by entering the building during regular hours…”第二段最后一句“Peruggia was hailed for his patriotism in Italy and only served six months in jail for the crime.”如果考生不认真读完,很容易忽略掉这些细节。此题正确答案为选项D。
