题目解答
答案
（1）段落大意题。根据文章第一段Few would question that arts，in its massive forms and media，are like a mirror that reflects the social，cultural.economic or even political situation of a society of a particular era.However，beyond being simply an illustration of the human condition.arts can be vital in pushing the country forward.culturally and economically.（很少有人会质疑，艺术，以其巨大的形式和媒介，就像一面镜子，反映了一个特定时代的社会、文化、经济甚至政治状况。然而，艺术不仅仅是对人类状况的简单展示，它对推动国家的文化和经济发展也是至关重要的。）可知第一段主要讲艺术的功能。A.The forms of arts.艺术的形式；B.The functions of arts.艺术的功能；C.The definition of arts.艺术的定义；D.The development of arts.艺术的发展。故选B。（2）推理判断题。根据文章第三段 Morcover，arts enable a nation to progress in human rights and values.As powerful media that are able to stir hearts and cause reflection，arts can speak up the human voice of criticism sharply and clearly in times of crisis，and call upon society to seek the common good.It is evident that arts，which express human values and emotions，can constitute a profound way of promoting human dignity and additionally，form the barrier of the ethical and moral life of society.（此外，艺术使一个国家在人权和价值观方面取得进步。作为能够触动心灵和引起反思的强大媒体，艺术可以在危机时刻尖锐而清晰地表达人类的批评之声，并呼吁社会寻求共同利益。显而易见，表达人类价值观和情感的艺术可以构成促进人类尊严的深刻方式，此外，还构成社会伦理和道德生活的障碍。）可知艺术通过形成社会的道德标准来影响人权和价值观。A.By reflecting humans' views.通过反映人类的观点；B.By pointing out the common good.通过指出公共利益；C.By giving people a sense of fulfilment.给人们一种成就感；D.By forming the moral standard of society.通过形成社会的道德标准。故选D。（3）推理判断题。根据文章第四段However，where they can be afforded，arts may well complement （补充） economic policies as arts encourage individuals to exercise creativity.As Albert Einstein stated，imagination is more important than knowledge.While knowledge and professional skills may stimulate a country's development，the ability to innovate and think out of the box may be valuable to a society facing ever new and unpredictable challenges.（然而，在负担得起的情况下，艺术可以很好地补充经济政策，因为艺术鼓励个人发挥创造力。正如阿尔伯特•爱因斯坦所说，想象力比知识更重要。虽然知识和专业技能可能会刺激一个国家的发展，但创新和跳出框框思考的能力对于一个面临不断新的和不可预测的挑战的社会来说可能是有价值的。）可知第四段提到阿尔伯特•爱因斯坦是为了强调艺术在创造力中的重要性。故选C。（4）推理判断题。根据文章最后一段 While the importance of arts may differ from country to country，depending on its economic circumstances and the socio-political issues each face，the importance of arts to the progress of a nation should not be overlooked.（虽然艺术的重要性可能因国家而异，取决于每个国家的经济情况和面临的社会政治问题，但艺术对一个国家进步的重要性不应被忽视。）可知作者可能会同意艺术在一个国家的进步中发挥了作用。故选B。
