TPO11阅读第一篇古代埃及雕塑第2小题请教

坠坠芙蓉影UID: 2815408

Paragraph 1：In order to understand ancient Egyptian art, it is vital to know as much as possible of the elite Egyptians' view of the world and the functions and contexts of the art produced for them. Without this knowledge we can appreciate only the formal content of Egyptian art, and we will fail to understand why it was produced or the concepts that shaped it and caused it to adopt its distinctive forms. In fact, a lack of understanding concerning the purposes of Egyptian art has often led it to be compared unfavorably with the art of other cultures: Why did the Egyptians not develop sculpture in which the body turned and twisted through space like classical Greek statuary? Why do the artists seem to get left and right confused? And why did they not discover the geometric perspective as European artists did in the Renaissance? The answer to such questions has nothing to do with a lack of skill or imagination on the part of Egyptian artists and everything to do with the purposes for which they were producing their art.
2. Paragraph 1 suggests that one reason Egyptian art is viewed less favorably than other art is that Egyptian art lacks
○ a realistic sense of human body proportion
○ a focus on distinctive forms of varying sizes
○ the originality of European art
○ the capacity to show the human body in motion

答案选4。不懂。根据题目不是应该定位到“In fact, a lack of understanding concerning the purposes of Egyptian art has often led it to be compared unfavorably with the art of other cultures”（粗体句）这一句吗？怎么4个选项跟这句话都没什么关系？谢谢！

我说下我的理解啦：
Egyptian art is viewed less favorably than other art is that Egyptian art lacks问题问的是埃及艺术不受欢迎是因为埃及艺术缺乏什么。
而定位处的那个lack，它的主语是people，In fact, a lack of understanding concerning the purposes of Egyptian art has often led it to be compared unfavorably with the art of other cultures人们不喜欢埃及艺术是因为他们对其创作目的不了解。
然后呢，定位的那一句cultures后面是冒号：所以真正的原因要在冒号后面找：
Why did the Egyptians not develop sculpture in which the body turned and twisted through space like classical Greek statuary? Why do the artists seem to get left and right confused?说的是有关body的问题。
再看选项，答案一定是和body有关的，先排除BC，A，说的是人体比例不对，而文中说的是人的姿势奇怪，和比例无关。答案就是D啦，因为埃及人不会表现人体的运动~

我最近也做TPO，被阅读搅得心烦意乱的。。。

我也觉得这个D不大对啊，楼上的那个解释的那个body是雕塑的body，不是人的body，可是答案D。。。。

我觉得这道题解题的关键不是楼主加粗体的那句话，而应该是这句话：
Why did the Egyptians not develop sculpture in which the body turned and twisted through space like classical Greek statuary?
turned and twisted 表现出身体的状态是处于运动中的。

解题步骤：
1.读题，确定关键字：“one reason Egyptian art is viewed less favorably than other art is that Egyptian art lacks......”
2.回原文定位，找到定位句：In fact, a lack of understanding concerning the purposes of Egyptian art has often led it to be compared unfavorably with the art of other cultures:。比较选项发现选项中的文字并不对应这个句子。然后看到定位句有个冒号，所以看冒号后面。（提示：如果定位句本身找不到答案，就要看与定位句逻辑关系最紧密的其他句子。逻辑关系通常会通过关系词或者标点符号给出，例如本句的冒号。冒号后解释冒号前。）
3.冒号后出现三个问题：所以把这三个问题比照一下选项就可以了。
选项一中的“body propotion”文章没提过。
选项二中的“varing sizes”没提过。
选项三中的“European art”提过，但是originality不是原文信息。原文讲的是“geometric perspective”。如果这个单词不懂，那就没办法了。（不要因为选项的字眼有一两个与文章相同就选它，一定要整个选项整体考察。）
剩下第四个。找到‘ the body turned and twisted ’，对应“in motion”。选这个。

关键点在于，你要知道 turned and twisted的抽象理解就是“in motion”

考试中找错项往往比找正确答案容易。
如果文章读的不是很懂，可以通过选项理解原文。把原文与选项比较，无关的先排除，剩下的再比一次原文，通常答案就出来了。不要因为选项的字眼有一两个与文章相同就选它，一定要整个选项整体考察
