TPO52lecture1部分题目

C. To explain what inspired him to create a still-life painting at university

D. To explain why still-life paintings are often studied in beginning art classes

原文：for example, in a portrait there might be a map hanging on the wall, or there might be some books on a table next to the subject. These objects tell you something about the subject, like, uh, maybe that person was well educated.

解析：听例子一定要注意例子说明了什么道理，这个例子说明了很多静物画家是用这种简单的风格来传达一个信息，或者讲一个故事。肖像画有时也包含静物画的元素。所以和B选项表达一致。

A. Their paintings were used to illustrate scientific journals.

B. They had studied science at university before becoming artists.

C. They were interested in exploring the natural world through their art.

D. They were interested in experimenting with nuances of color.

原文： Peale, and other painters of his era, used still-life painting as a way of, ah, of exploring the natural world, and satisfying their curiosity about nature.

解析：原文提到人物皮尔，提到人物一定要注意人物做了什么事。皮尔和他那个时代的其他画家，把静物画作为一种探索自然世界的方式，来满足他们对自然的好奇心。所以涉及到了C选项所说的探索世界。

4.Why does the professor tell the story about his own painting of some vegetables?

A. To emphasize the importance of planning the composition of a still-life painting

B. To encourage the use of a variety of objects in a still-life painting

原文：Now, before you paint a single stroke, you've got to plan the composition of your painting—you know, the arrangement of the objects, to make sure everything is set up the way you want it. I remember a still-life piece I painted when I was at university.…It was vegetables, I think, and I had created sketches of the setting—but then realized that the arrangement of the vegetables in a basket just, ugh, just didn't look right…so I had to start over.

解析：听例子一定要注意例子说明了什么道理，这个例子说明了你必须计划好你的画的组成——你知道，物体的排列，以确保一切都按照你想要的方式进行。和A选项一致
