XI．任务型阅读 阅读短文，按照要求完成各题。( 5分)
Experts found that one of the most recognizable (公认的) portraits (肖像) of William Shakespeare is not real.
This means that we no longer have a good idea of what Shakespeare looked like.
“It’s very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare are unreliable (不可靠的) because many of them are copies of this one,” said an expert from Britain’s National Portrait Gallery (美术馆) . The discovery (发现) comes after four months of working.
Experts from the gallery say the picture－－commonly known as the “Flower portrait” was actually painted in the 1800s, two centuries after Shakespeare’s death.
The art experts who work at the gallery say they used modern technology (技术) to check the paint on the picture. These checks found traces (痕迹) of paint deep in the picture dating from about 1814.
Shakespeare died in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609. “We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840. This was when there was a new interest in Shakespeare’s plays,” Tarnya Cooper, the gallery’s 16th century curator (馆长) said.
The fake (仿造品) picture has often been used as a cover for collections of his plays. It is called the Flower portrait because one of its owners, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Two other images of Shakespeare are also being studied and the results will come out later. But for now what Shakespeare really looked like will still be a mystery (谜).
