Ironically, now that photography is securely established as a fine art, many photographers find it pretentious or irrelevant to label it as such. Serious photographers variously claim to be finding, recording, impartially observing, witnessing events, exploring themselves—anything but making works of art. In the nineteenth century, photography's association with the real world placed it in an ambivalent relation to art; late in the twentieth century, an ambivalent relation exists because of the Modernist heritage in art. That important photographers are no longer willing to debate whether photography is or is not a fine art, except to proclaim that their own work is not involved with art, shows the extent to which they simply take for granted the concept of art imposed by the triumph of Modernism: the better the art, the more subversive it is of the traditional aims of art.
9.Which of the following adjectives best describes
―the concept of art imposed by the triumph of
Modernism‖ as the author represents it in the last sentence?
(A) Objective
(B) Mechanical
(C) Superficial
(D) Dramatic
(E) Paradoxical
从哪里看出来paradoxical？
谢过！

在这里问问版主第10题吧
10. In the context in which it appears, "ambivalent " most
nearly means
○A subversive
○B unambiguous
○C equivocal
○D disreputable
○E contradictory
答案C
我觉得应该选E
B和C应该都是模棱两可不清楚的意思啊，E才是表明对立（和paradoxical也相符不是么）的意思啊

         ↑
【是我没看清选项。。。把C看成ambiguous了

当时很激动的看到contradictory就选了（因为ambivalent和contradictory被叔叔归为同一意群，同一意群还有paradoxical）但阅读还是不能像填空那样处理单词

WB的解释：
ambivalent: 1 : simultaneous and contradictory attitudes or feelings (as attraction and repulsion) toward an object, person, or action
2 a : continual fluctuation (as between one thing and its opposite) b : uncertainty as to which approach to follow
equivocal 1 a : subject to two or more interpretations and usually used to mislead or confuse <an equivocal statement> b : uncertain as an indication or sign <equivocal evidence>
contradictory : a proposition so related to another that if either of the two is true the other is false and if either is false the other must be true

ambivalent 和 equivocal 为近义词
