試題分析：短文大意：達文西列奧納多1452年4月15日生于意大利。當(dāng)今他最出名的是作為一位藝術(shù)家。他的一個著名的畫叫蒙娜麗莎。然而，列奧納多有許多其他的自然能力。他也是一個偉大的發(fā)明家。

該篇短文介紹了他在創(chuàng)造發(fā)明方面的一些成就。

【1】B聯(lián)系上句He was also a great inventor.（他也是一個偉大的發(fā)明家）可知這里該選B，他的許多發(fā)明在現(xiàn)代生活中變得非常重要。

【2】D聯(lián)系上句 His most special invention was the machine gun（他最特別的發(fā)明是機槍）可知這里該選D，許多年后在戰(zhàn)爭中生產(chǎn)和使用的。

【3】C聯(lián)系下句Leonardo tried to find out the secret of flying（列奧納多試圖找出飛行的秘密）可知這里該選C，通過觀察鳥類的飛行方式。

【4】E聯(lián)系上文He usually used mirror writing, which looks like writing in a mirror（他通常用鏡子寫字，這看起來像是在一面鏡子上寫）可知該選E，從頁面右側(cè)開始移動到左邊。

【5】A聯(lián)系下句Leonardo finished only a few of his paintings.（列奧納多完成了的畫只有幾幅）可知這里該選A，今天我們擁有的他的的作品很少。
