题目解答
答案
D. To give examples of things pleasant to human senses.
解析
本题考查对演讲中举例目的的理解。关键在于明确演讲者通过日落和鸟鸣这两个例子想要传达的核心意图。
- 日落属于视觉上的美好体验，鸟鸣属于听觉上的享受，两者均属于自然现象中能给人带来感官愉悦的事物。
- 需要排除与“艺术创作”直接相关的选项（如A、B、C），因为例子本身并非艺术作品或创作过程，而是人类感官感知的对象。
选项分析
A. To illustrate the power of beautiful art
- 错误。日落和鸟鸣是自然现象，而非艺术作品。艺术是人为创造的，而例子强调的是自然的美感，与“艺术的力量”无关。
B. To show the process of creating beauty in art
- 错误。艺术创作的过程需要体现人为设计或步骤，而日落和鸟鸣是自然形成的，无法说明“如何创造美”。
C. To explain the use of color and form in art creation
- 错误。虽然日落涉及色彩，但鸟鸣是声音，与“色彩和形式”无关。选项未全面涵盖例子的特征。
D. To give examples of things pleasant to human senses
- 正确。日落（视觉）和鸟鸣（听觉）均为人类感官带来愉悦的自然现象，符合“感官愉悦事物”的定义。
