The revival of mural painting that has occurred in San Francisco since the 1970s, especially
among the Chicano population of the city’s Mission District, has marked differences from its
social realist forerunner in Mexico and the United States some 40 years earlier. Rather than
being government sponsored and limited to murals on government buildings, the
contemporary mural movement sprang from the people themselves, with murals appearing on
community buildings and throughout college campuses. Perhaps the biggest difference,
however, is the process. In earlier twentieth-century Mexico, murals resulted from the vision
of individual artists. But today’s murals are characteristically the products of artists working
with local residents on design and creation.

Such community engagement is characteristic of the Chicano art movement as a whole,
which evolved from the same foundations as the Chicano civil rights movement of the
mid-1960s. Both were a direct response to the needs of Chicanos in the United States, who
were fighting for the right to adequate education, political empowerment, and decent working
conditions. Artists joined other cultural workers in making political statements and played a
key role in taking these statements to the public. They developed collectives and established
cultural centers that functioned as the public-relations arm of the Chicano sociopolitical
movement.

1. The primary purpose of the passage is to
C. describe the political content of a certain works of art
E. place an art movement in its historical context

3. Which of the following best describes the relationship between the first paragraph and the
second paragraph of the passage?
B. The first compares the mural revival with an earlier artistic movement; the second describes
the context contemporary to the revival
C. The first defines the revival by distinguishing it from an earlier artistic movement; the
second addresses the political goals of both the revival and its forerunner

答案是EB。
错选了CC。疑惑第二段为什么不是把mural painting置于政治角度里描述？第二段一直在说政治的empowerment，artist为了什么而奋斗，有了什么努力。。
两道题都是类似于主旨题。。还是想不通啊！！
求大神相助！！感谢！！！

自己的理解：主旨题要往宽泛里选，越是general的越可能对
1的C没说第一段的difference，但其实答案里的historical contex也可以被运用到首段的内容上

2.The first defines the revival by distinguishing it from an earlier artistic movement
通过区分来define了revival，好像有点曲解原意？
..distinguis的目的不是define the revival！原文只是对比了2类。
... has marked differences from its social realist forerunner in Mexico and the United States some 40 years earlier
1st是为了对比difference，而没有通过difference来define revival？好像是这个意思？？

哇好tricky！！还是希望有大神来指点下迷津啊！！！不知道理解的对不对

个人看法哈：1.你说的没错。而且C里面的works of art 也不对，主旨是movement
2.你这样说也可以。我觉得C的第二部分的its forerunner 不对。应该是civil rights movement。而forerunner指的是第一段的40年前的墨西哥和老美的那个运动。如果你觉得forerunner指代的是第二段的civil。那这个说法就是错的啊，因为指代不明。

大神呢？？过来帮我们看看呀

单纯讲一件很具体的东西不是GRE的特点，他就要升华到一个高度吧，更general
