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. In 2006, he visited the National Portrait Gallery and saw a painting of Shakespeare that【C3】______in the Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington. It had been【C4】______as a life portrait of Shakespeare, but was denied 70 years ago. Mr. Cobbe saw the painting and realized the【C5】______with the painting he had【C6】______.

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."
    The painting was displayed finally at The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust in Stratford-upon-Avon on April 23, Shakespeare’s birthday.

B)envy G)initially L)stands
C)excitement H)major M)time

E)ideal J)original O)unsure
【C1】
选项
答案O
解析 形容词辨析题。空格前为系动词was，后为介词of，故应填形容词。由后一句可知，这幅画曾被认为是Walter Raleigh爵士的画像。因此可以推断，3个世纪以来，收藏这幅画的Cobbe家族并不清楚画上人物的身份。结合选项可知，unsure“不确定的”符合句意，故为答案。
