[求助]大全-d-18

18.   We commonly speak of aesthetic judgments as subjective, and in the short term they are, since critics often disagree about the value of a particular contemporary work of art. But over time, the subjective element disappears. When works of art have continued to delight audiences for centuries, as have the paintings of Michelangelo, the music of Bach, and the plays of Shakespeare, we can objectively call them great.

The statements above best support which of the following conclusions?

(A) When Michelangelo, Bach, and Shakespeare were alive, critics disagreed about the value of their work.

(B) The value of a contemporary work of art cannot be objectively measured.

(C) The reputation of a work of art often fluctuates greatly from one generation to the next.

(D) The mere fact that a work of art has endured for centuries does not establish its greatness.（B）

(E) If critics agree about the value of a particular cotemporary work of art, then the work can objectively be called great.

请问c为什么不对，b在原文中并没有体现呀？

c的问题在于和文章的中最后一句话矛盾，文章明确了，某些作品delight audience for generations，这是没有起伏的明证。a的问题在于从文章推不出，文章说的是often，而不是all或者must，general的推论未必适用于每个个体。文章的第一句话就说明，短期内，评价一定是主观的。

文中说的是often, 而在b中变成了cannot be objectively measured.也应该是扩大范围吧。

(C) The reputation of a work of art often fluctuates greatly from one generation to the next.

使用了often, 原来经常是主观的（disagree），现在变客观了，当然会有fluctuates.

继续讨论

1。C说的是The reputation often fluctuates greatly 。原文只说对艺术品判断是否客观还是主观。和声誉没直接关系。也就不知声誉是否变化大。所以得不到原文支持

2。B答案来之于in the short term they are（subjective），后面批评家的话只是提理由。
