正确答案：D
语义题。“mostaccomplished”肯定了达·芬奇的成就，同时“underachievers”(字面意思为“成就不足者”)又暗示他本应取得更高的成就。纵观文中对达·芬奇画风的描述，特别是第八段前两句指出他善于深入地观察和细致地表现，第九段首句指出他有时候会花上几年的时间去思索一幅画。可见，达·芬奇一方面表现出了杰出的艺术才能，另一方面正是因为他绘画时极其认真、细致，所以完成的作品不多，不是一个高产的画家，故选[D]。他的很多作品半途而废只是其中一个方面，显然作者无意将达·芬奇描写成一个虎头蛇尾的人，故排除[A]；作者对其成就和历史地位是充分肯定的，故排除[B]和[C]。
