问题     A serious critic has to comprehend the particular content, unique structure, and special meaning of a work of art. And here she faces a dilemma. The critic must recognize the artistic element of uniqueness that requires subjective reaction; yet she must not be unduly prejudiced by such reactions.  Her likes and dislikes are less important than what the work itself communicates, and her preferences may blind her to certain qualities of the work and thereby prevent an adequate understanding of it. Hence, it is necessary that a critic develop a sensibility informed by familiarity with the history of art and aesthetic theory. On the other hand, it is insufficient to treat the artwork solely historically, in relation to a fixed set of ideas or values. The critic’s knowledge and training are, rather, a preparation of the cognitive and emotional abilities needed for all adequate personal response to an artwork’s own particular qualities.  
The author’s argument is developed primarily by the use of ______.

选项 A、an attack on sentimentality
B、an example of successful art criticism
C、a critique of artists’ training
D、a warning against extremes in art criticism

答案D

解析 作者的论点是要防止在文艺批评方面走极端。作者含蓄地表达了这样的观点:仅从历史的角度欣赏艺术品意味着走极端。当然,仅有认知能力和情感却不从历史的角度对待艺术品也会走向极端。
