问题     Ralph Ellison was passionately interested in the visual arts. He immersed himself in Harlem’s art scene in the 1930s, even apprenticing with sculptor Richmond Barthé for a time. Yet he was wary of projects aiming to provide a visual rendering of his novel Invisible Man. He reluctantly allowed Franklin Library to publish two illustrated versions of the novel but found the results disappointing and repeatedly rejected proposed film versions of the book. Despite his involvement in visual arts, Ellison insisted that only language could capture the complexity of American identity. This complexity consisted of the tension arising from the collision of the United States’ written ideals, as outlined in the founding documents, and the historical and contemporary experiences molding the national consciousness.
Which of the following can be inferred from the passage about the “tension”?
选项 A、It partly resulted from social justices that Ellison worked to alleviate.
B、It came to Ellison’s attention partly as a result of his experience with proposed film versions of Invisible Man.
C、Ellison believed that it arose from contradictions within the United States’ founding ideals.
D、Ellison felt that it was an issue that could not adequately be addressed through the depiction of fictional characters.
E、Ellison thought that it could not be adequately represented by sculpture.
答案E
解析 根据第五句可知， “艾里森坚持认为只有语言才能捕捉美国人身份的复杂性”，这意味着视觉艺术无法体现身份的复杂性，sculpture是视觉艺术的一种，因此雕塑无法体现身份的复杂性，选项E正确。A项文中未提及。B项文中未提及。C项有两个错误：a.这种冲突来自written ideals和experiences这两者之间的矛盾，而非ideals内部的矛盾。b.第六句是作者自己的观点，而非艾里森的观点。D项文中未提及。
