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。

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

这样似乎说得通。但我可能把你这两者理解成评论所应该具备的品质了。所以可能就误选了C了。看来思考角度有了偏差。

我也不确定自己的想法对不对只提供意见哈 另外我注意到C选项用artists training 这个词有点主观倾向原文没提及 BDE都统一用了art criticism

这个问题其实不难做啊，首先排除的就是A,C，E，他讲的是critique's training, 而不是critique of training. 意思都反了，肯定不选C。
至于B，其实这个paragraph是neutral的态度的，并没有说哪种是好的approach，是没有一个结论的
但是D，是最能表现作者意图的，就是我们在做艺术批评的时候，要避免绝对的主观或者客观，走任何一个极端都是很危险的，所以选D
