SECTION 1
The belief that art originates in
intuitive rather than rational faculties > <
was worked out historically and
philosophically in the somewhat
(5) wearisome volumes of Benedetto Croce, BC
who is usually considered the
originator of a new aesthetic. Croce
was, in fact, expressing a very old 态度
idea. Long before the Romantics stressed R
(10) intuition and self-expression, the
frenzy of inspiration was regarded as
fundamental to art, but philosophers had TS
always assumed it must be controlled by
law and by the intellectual power of
(15) putting things into harmonious order.
This general philosophic concept of art
was supported by technical necessities.
It was necessary to master certain laws 略读 举例
and to use intellect in order to build
(20) Gothic cathedrals, or set up the stained GC
glass windows of Chartres. When this C
bracing element of craftsmanship ceased
to dominate artists' outlook, new
technical elements had to be adopted to
(25) maintain the intellectual element in
art. Such were linear perspective and P & A
anatomy.

艺术源自直觉的而非理性的能力，这一信念是由贝内代托·克罗齐（Benedetto
Groce）在其令人略感厌倦乏味的着作中从历史和哲学的角度阐述建立起来的，而克罗齐一般也被视作一种全新美学体系的创始人。事实上，克罗齐所表述的乃是一个极为古老的思想。早在浪漫主义艺术家强调直觉和自我表达之前，灵感的癫狂被视作艺术之根本，但哲学家一贯认为，它必须受制于规律法则，受制于那种将万物组织成和谐秩序的理性力量。这种有关艺术的一般哲学概念由于技术必要性而获得了依据。只有当人们必须掌握了某些规律法则并运用理性，才能建造出哥特式大教堂（Gothic cathedral），或在沙特尔大教堂（Chartres）上安装彩绘玻璃窗。当这一起着主导作用的因素不再能支配艺术家们的创作观时，新的技术因素必须被采用，以维持艺术中的理性成份。这就是直线透视法（linear perspective）和解剖学（anstomy）。
17. 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（推理题）
（A） The craftsmanship that shaped Gothic architecture would have continued to dominate
artists' outlooks.（L 18——20 It was necessary to master certain laws and to use intellect in order
to build Gothic cathedral）
（B） Some other technical elements would have been adopted to discipline artistic inspiration.（L 21——27 when...,new technical elements had to be adopted to maintain the??intellectual
element in art. Such??were linear perspective and anatomy. ）
（C） Intellectual control over artistic inspiration would not have influenced painting as it did
architecture.（anatomy是在intellect之后出现的，所以即使它没有影响，intellect control over
inspiration还是存在的）
（D） The role of intuitive inspiration would not have remained fundamental to theories of artistic
creation.（L10——13 the frenzy of inspiration was regarded as fundamental to art旧观点）
（E） The assumptions of aesthetic philosophers before Croce would have been invalidated.（无中生有）
答案：(B)
18. The passage supplies information for answering which of the following questions（细节题）
(A) Does Romantic art exhibit the triumph of intuition over intellect（未提，L9——10 Long before
the Romantics stressed intuition and self-expression）
(B) Did an emphasis on linear perspective and anatomy dominate Romantic art(文章末句，new
technical elements had to be adopted to maintain the intellectual element in art. Such were
linear perspective and anatomy. 错选了B 只有末句提到小点强调 不能算)
(C)Are the intellectual and intuitive faculties harmoniously balanced in post-Romantic art（无中生有）
(D)Are the effects of the rational control of artistic inspiration evident in the great works of
pre-Romantic eras（L8——10 expressing a very old idea. Long before the Romantics stressed
intuition and self-expression,）
(E) Was the artistic craftsmanship displayed in Gothic cathedrals also an element in paintings of
this period（无中生有）
答案：(D)
19. The passage implies that which of the following was a traditional assumption of aesthetic
philosophers （细节题）

This general philosophic concept of art was supported by technical necessities. 改写）
