A serious critic has to comprehend the particular content, unique structure, and special meaning of a work of art. And here she faces a dilemma. The critic must recognize the artistic element of uniqueness that requires subjective reaction; yet she must not be unduly prejudiced by such reactions. It is necessary that a critic develop a sensibility informed by familiarity with the history of art and aesthetic theory. On the other hand, it is insufficient to treat the artwork solely historically, in relation to a fixed set of ideas or values. The critic‘s knowledge and training are, rather, a preparation of the cognitive and emotional abilities needed for an adequate personal response to an artwork‘s own particular qualities.
The author‘s argument is developed primarily by the use of
(A) an attack on sentimentality
(B) an example of successful art criticism
(C) a critique of artists training
(D) a warning against extremes in art criticism
(E) an analogy between art criticism and art production
答案为什么会选D呢，而不是C呢。我觉得前面一直都在讲应该要怎么样做才能成为一个公正的评论家，我觉得D项中warning的词性似乎有点重，如果换成suggestion然后去掉extremes我就肯定选D了。作者: Gniel 时间: 2011-9-4 09:58:56
D 作者是想说评论不应该没有历史美感的熏陶但又不应该缺乏综合感性的判断 on the other hand 两个极端连接作者: Destroy_2010 时间: 2011-9-4 10:35:04
