    2.Blank1中應(yīng)該填入一個(gè)形容詞,描述人們對(duì)于大量肖像畫(huà)出現(xiàn)在藝術(shù)博物館中這一事實(shí)的一些看法;而blank2中應(yīng)該填入一個(gè)動(dòng)詞,表現(xiàn)肖像畫(huà)中的藝術(shù)技巧對(duì)于它們出現(xiàn)在藝術(shù)博物館中的事實(shí)的影響。
    3.在第一句中,后半句中出現(xiàn)了since,表示因果關(guān)系,因而應(yīng)該選取前后半句中同義關(guān)系的詞語(yǔ),而后半句給出了人們對(duì)于肖像畫(huà)出現(xiàn)在藝術(shù)博物館中的看法的原因,即“它們?cè)臼潜挥脕?lái)為家族相冊(cè)添光彩用的,而不是為了展現(xiàn)藝術(shù)而出現(xiàn)的”,因此說(shuō),在人們看來(lái),肖像畫(huà)出現(xiàn)在博物館中是屬于出現(xiàn)在了不該出現(xiàn)的地方,因此說(shuō)選取一個(gè)表達(dá)這種“出現(xiàn)在了不該有的地方”色彩的詞語(yǔ)最合適,即應(yīng)該選取(A)選項(xiàng);
    4.對(duì)于第二句,由于句首的“but”的作用,因而這整個(gè)一句話(huà)應(yīng)該體現(xiàn)一種與前一句話(huà)截然相反的意思,前面說(shuō)肖像畫(huà)不應(yīng)該在藝術(shù)博物館中出現(xiàn),那第二句話(huà)應(yīng)該體現(xiàn)“肖像畫(huà)可以出現(xiàn)在藝術(shù)館中”的作用。
