题目

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 A Controversial Restoration(修复)     Certain masterpieces are recognized worldwide as outstanding achievements in human creativity and imagination.  All of these works are hundreds of years old, and like everything that ages, some parts of them need to be restored from time to time. However, not everyone agrees on how and when certain works should be restored.      For example, through careful study of the building, experts found that the Taj Mahal was sliding toward the river beside it! Restoration efforts then began to repair cracks in the building and halt (停止) its slide. However, such works as the Sistine Chapel and the statue of David are not under any threat of serious damage or loss. Rather, restorations are planned to clean or touch up the works so that they look better.     David is a perfect case in point of just such a touch-up project. For the statue's 500th "birthday", the museum in Italy where David stands today planned to restore the statue's appearance. In reality, David was just dirty. For more than 300 years, the statue stood outdoors in a square in Florence. When he carved the sculpture, Michelangelo planned for it to stand outside and naturally accumulate the marks of weathering. Therefore, critics of David's restoration claimed that cleaning the statue would change its intended appearance by the artist.      After nine months of careful cleaning, the restored David was revealed (展现) to the public. So, how was the statue different? For one thing, David's hair was no longer blackened with thick dirt. Also, the stains on his hands were gone, and the dirty streaks (条痕) on his left leg had been erased. As one art expert remarked, "Only someone with expert knowledge and long as familiarity with the ‘skin' of the statue will be aware that certain unattractive irregularities are no longer there."     On the other hand, the restoration of the Sistine Chapel resulted in a dramatic difference in the work's appearance. Through painstaking efforts, the frescoes (壁画) of the Sistine Chapel were beautifully restored by erasing years of dust and dirt from the ceiling and walls.  However, most view its restoration as a marvelous success. A. That should not have surprised anyone. B. A few critics maintain that the artist's work has been ruined. C. Ignoring these cries of disapproval, the museum went ahead with the restoration. D. The museum wanted to understand how the changes were happening and the best way to restore it. E. In some cases, there is a pressing need for something to be done in order to save a historical treasure. F. Even critics of the project agreed that the touch-ups to the masterpiece were very moderate (适度的). G. Three good examples of such works are the Taj Mahal, the Sistine Chapel，and the sculpture of David. 答案：【1】G【2】E【3】A【4】C【5】B
