No wonder that man in Munch’s The Scream is screaming. He keeps getting stolen. The famous painting went    1   in 1994 and again ten years later, both times from museums in Norway.    2  , security was extremely poor. Officials thought the painting was so famous that it wouldn’t be stolen. Wrong.

The world of art theft is not, as one might think, populated with intelligent persons who have a fine appreciation of art. Art thieves are thugs(流氓), according to a new book by Charley Hill. Hill was an undercover policeman    3   job was to track down stolen paintings. He says that the people who steal    4   were usually stealing wheels from cars a few years earlier. He describes priceless Vermeers being stuffed    5       the back of cars, Gainsboroughs being passed around by drug dealers with dirty hands and a nasty end to one of Henry Moore’s huge sculptures. The bronze, King and Queen, a    6   by Moore, was too heavy for the thieves to move, so they took out a chainsaw and cut off the heads, thinking those might be worth something.

The artworks usually turn up, sometimes many years    7  , though the police don’t always catch the thief. Even rarer is when a gentleman thief—one who steals art for personal pleasure only—is caught. In 2009, a waiter, Stephane from Switzerland, 32,    8        (find) guilty of stealing 69 artworks from museums since 1998. He told the court he did    9   for the love of art. His haul (贓物) was   10  over $1 billion—not bad for a waiter.

 

Answer 1

【答案】

  missing  

 Obviously/ Apparently 

  whose

  paintings

  into    

 masterpiece   

  later    

 was found

 it       

 worth

【解析】

試題分析：

  missing  根據下句the painting was so famous that it wouldn’t be stolen. Wrong.可知這幅畫被偷不見了。故使用missing失蹤，不見了。

 Obviously/ Apparently 上下文串聯。東西被偷了，很明顯是因為安全保衛方面的問題較大。

  whose 本句是定語從句，whose指代先行詞在句中放在名詞job前面做定語。

 paintings 上下文串聯。根據文章第一段可知是指偷走這幅畫的人，

  into    這里是指放在了汽車的后面。

  masterpiece  名詞masterpiece杰作；指這幅作品King and Queen是Moore的杰作。

  later    副詞later與一段時間連用，表示一段時間以后。

  was found 本句的主語a waiter與動詞find構成被動關系，find sb guilty轉換成sb be found guilty。

 it    it指代上文前句提就的stealing 69 artworks from museums since 1998偷盜行為。

  worth   固定搭配be worth+錢數；指值…錢。
