问题 单项选择题

生活是艺术创作的源泉,______了生活就不可能创造出好的作品,这篇作品我选择了画身边的人,去表现一种最______但也最温情的存在。

填入横线部分最恰当的一项是()。

A.忽略;平实

B.违背;淳朴

C.脱离;熟悉

D.扭曲;普通

答案

参考答案:A

解析:

由“生活是艺术创作的源泉”可知,生活对于艺术创作是至关重要的。这里强调的是艺术创作离不开生活,而不是不能“违背”或者“扭曲”生活。故排除B、D。句意说选择“画身边的人”,而“身边的人”的一个特点就是因为司空见惯而往往容易忽略。故第一空填“忽略”比“脱离”更合适,这样更契合句中“身边的人”的特点。再看第二空,这里所填的词要与“最温情”构成转折关系,“熟悉”与“温情”之间不存在明显的转折关系,不如“平实”合适。故本题选A。

The garden city was largely the invention of Ebenezer Howard (1850-1928). After immigrating from England to the USA, and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer, he moved to Chicago, where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871. In those days, it was nicknamed “the Garden City”, almost certainly the source of Howard’s name for his later building plan of towns. Returning to London, Howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s, drawing on ideas that were popular at the time, but creating a unique combination of designs.
The nineteenth-century poor city was in many ways a terrible place, dirty and crowded; but it offered economic and social opportunities. At the same time, the British countryside was in fact equally unattractive: though it promised fresh air and nature, it suffered from agricultural depression(萧条) and it offered neither enough work and wages, nor much social life. Howard’s idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement, the garden city. Howard’s idea was that a group of people should set up a company, borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside; far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price.
Garden cities would provide a central public open space, radial avenues and connecting industries. They would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt, also owned by the company, containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions. As more and more people moved in, the garden city would reach its planned limit-Howard suggested 32,000 people; then, another would be started a short distance away. Thus, over time, there would develop a vast planned house collection, extending almost without limit; within it, each garden city would offer a wide rang of jobs and services, but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system, thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city.
