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. Her likes and dislikes are less important than what the work itself communicates, and her preferences may blind her to certain qualities of the work and thereby prevent an adequate understanding of it. Hence, 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 all adequate personal response to an artwork's own particular qualities.
According to the author, a serious art critic may avoid being prejudiced by her subjective reactions if she ______.
A．treats an artwork in relation to a fixed set of ideas and values
B．brings to her observation a knowledge of art history and aesthetic theory
C．allows more time for the observation of each artwork
D．takes into account the preferences of other art critics
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
A．By 1963 political conditions in the United States had changed.
B．Friedan's book was less intellectual and abstract than Beauvoir's
C．Readers did not recognize the powerful influence of Beauvoir’s book on Friedan's ideas.
D．Friedan's approach to the issue of women's emancipation was less radical than Beauvior's.
Simone de Beauvoir's work greatly influenced Betty Friedan's--indeed, made it possible. Why, then, was it Friedan who became the prophet of women's emancipation in the United States？ Political conditions, as well as a certain anti-intellectual bias, prepared Americans and the American media to better receive Friedan's deradicalized and highly pragmatic The Feminine Mystique, published in 1963, than Beauvoir's theoretical reading of women's situation in The Second Sex. In I953 when The Second Sex first appeared in translation in the United States, the country had entered the silent, fearful fortress of the anticommunist McCarthy years (1950--1954), and Beauvoir was suspected of Marxist sympathies. Even The Nation, a generally liberal magazine, warned its readers against "certain political leanings" of the author. Open acknowledgement of the existence of women's oppression was too radical for the United States in the fifties, and Beauvoir's conclusion, that change in women's economic condition, though insufficient by itself, "remains time basic factor" in improving women's situation, was particularly unacceptable.
According to the passage, one difference between The Feminine Mystique and The Second Sex is that Friedan's book ______.
A．rejects the idea that women are oppressed
B．provides a primarily theoretical analysis of women's lives
C．does not reflect the political beliefs of its author
D．concentrates on the practical aspects of the question of women's emancipation
A．modify an earlier assertion
B．point out a possible exception to her argument
C．illustrate her central point
D．clarify the meaning of a term
A．is the outcome of political oppression
B．is inherently tied to their economic condition
C．can be best improved under a communist government
D．is a theoretical, rather than a pragmatic, issue
A．clash
B．clarify
C．clarity
D．clatter
A．presumed
B．proposed
C．presented
D．presided
