        (3) [German police appealed Friday for information about the possible owners of two 17th-century oil paintings. Police said a 64-year-old man found the paintings in a garbage pile at a highway rest stop last month.] He later handed them in to the Cologne Police. (4) [An initial assessment by an art expert concluded the two framed paintings were originals,] police said. One is a landscape painted by the Italian artist Pietro Bellotti, dating to 1665. The other is a painting of a boy by the 17th-century Dutch artist Samuel van Hoogstraten, date unknown. Their combined worth is estimated to be around one million euros. Authorities have not yet confirmed what will happen if the rightful owner is not found. Nevertheless, it is speculated that they could either be handed over to the National Art Museum of Cologne or sold to the public by the local government.

4. What is the art expert’s conclusion about the two framed paintings?

解析：B。录音中提到，经过艺术专家的初步评估，这两幅裱框画是原作。B项的originals原词复现，故正确答案为B。

错项排除：录音中提到，两幅裱框画是原作，A项的imitations与此相悖，故排除。录音中提到，一幅是意大利画家（Italian artist）彼得罗·贝洛蒂于1665年创作的一幅风景画；另一幅是17世纪荷兰画家（Dutch artist）塞缪尔·范·霍赫斯特拉滕的一幅男孩肖像画（a painting of a boy），由此可知，并不是意大利男孩偷了画，两幅画也不是出自同一位画家之手，故C、D两项排除。
