 The belief that art originates in intuitive rather than
 rational faculties was worked out historically and
 philosophically in the somewhat wearisome volumes of
 Benedetto Croce, who is usually considered the originator
5 of a new aesthetic. Croce was, in fact, expressing a very
  old idea. Long before the Romantics stressed intuition
  and self-expression, the frenzy of inspiration was regarded
  as fundamental to art, but philosophers had always
  assumed it must be controlled by law and by the
10 intellectual power of putting things into harmonious
  order. This general philosophic concept of art was supported
  by technical necessities. It was necessary to master certain
  laws and to use intellect in order to build Gothic cathedrals,
  or set up the stained glass windows of
15 Chartres. When this bracing element of craftsmanship
  ceased to dominate artists‘ outlook, new technical elements
  had to be adopted to maintain the intellectual element in art.
  Such were linear perspective and anatomy.


(156 words)


6. The passage suggests that which of the following
would most likely have occurred if linear perspective and anatomy had not come to influence artistic endeavor?
(A) The craftsmanship that shaped Gothic
architecture would have continued to
dominate artists‘ outlooks.
(B) Some other technical elements would have
been adopted to discipline artistic inspiration.
(C) Intellectual control over artistic inspiration
would not have influenced painting as it
did architecture.
(D) The role of intuitive inspiration would not
have remained fundamental to theories of
artistic creation.
(E) The assumptions of aesthetic philosophers
before Croce would have been invalidated.
7. Select the sentence in the passage that indicates a
traditional assumption of aesthetic philosophers.


8. The author mentions “linear perspective and
anatomy” in the last sentence in order to do
which of the following ?
(A) Expand his argument to include painting as
well as architecture
(B) Indicate his disagreement with Croce‘s
theory of the origins of art
(C) Support his point that rational order of
some kind has often seemed to discipline
artistic inspiration
(D) Explain the rational elements in Gothic
painting that corresponded to craftsmanship
in Gothic architecture
(E) Show the increasing sophistication of artists
after the Gothic period

When this bracing element of craftsmanship ceased to dominate artists‘ outlook, new technical elements had to be adopted to maintain the intellectual element in art.
Such were linear perspective and anatomy.

做对的菜鸟解答：linear perspective and anatomy就是new technical elements，所以当linear perspective and anatomy 不能产生影响的时候，就需要一些其他的new technical elements来 maintain the intellectual element。

确实不怎么会翻译，不知道说清楚没有。据我的感觉，这个题的答案就在AB里面找，因为这个属于细节题，答案就在附近，但A里面提了Gothic architecture，个人感觉不对。望拍砖

严重同意大家一起探讨解题方法，一个人阅读实在是一个孤独的过程，不弄懂答案做了意义也不大。

我是一只Tony

我第六题也错了，求解啊。。。

显然大家第6题都做错了，关键是为什么错了呢？我现在也还没弄明白

josie0710

这么光给答案意义不是很大啊，有没有分析啊？或者大家一起讨论讨论？
