问题     People who love music, who can lose themselves in a book, or who can spend hours painting a picture of a mountain, know the deep satisfaction that can be found in art. It is not easy to express this satisfaction in words. But, in some partly mysterious (神秘的) way, works of art are among the things of highest value in our lives.
   A fine piece of music, a masterpiece of painting, or a first-class play has the power to hold our fullest attention. We are completely lost in it, and everything works out right. The music comes to the right close at the right time and in the right way. The play ends, not necessarily on a happy note, but in a way that seems enjoyable. As we get to know more about painting, its parts seem to belong together and to be made for one another. We see harmony(和谐) in the object and feel harmony within ourselves.
   When the beautiful experience has ended, we often feel uplifted and refreshed. Our eyes and ears, or our understanding of other persons and values, may be sharpened and improved. We may feel more at home with ourselves. Works of art have value for us in some such ways as these.
   It is this value that marks the difference between great art and simple entertainment (娱乐). A work that is fairly easy to understand takes little effort on our part. It may give us pleasure, but it does not touch our feelings or attract out attention at a deep level.
What is the main idea of the text?
选项 A、Music has a power to catch all our attention.
B、Art of high values can improve us as human beings.
C、It’s difficult to express our satisfaction from works of art.
D、Simple entertainment is easy to understand and can give us pleasure.
答案B
解析 主旨题。通读全文不难发现，这篇短文主要讲述了艺术具有很高的价值，能给人们带来美妙的享受，还简要对比了艺术和娱乐的区别。文中强调的是艺术能让人感到满足，而第三段还特别指出美的经历可以提升我们自身。结合这些方面即可推知，短文要表达的意思就是艺术可以提升人类自身，即[B]项的意思。其余三项都属于原文中的词句，但都无法概括作者所要表达的主旨。
