2016年GRE阅读答案(34)

2015-11-30 17:07:55来源：网络

　　The revival of mural painting that has occurred in San Francisco since the 1970s, especially among the Chicano population of the city’s Mission District, has marked differences from its social realist forerunner in Mexico and the United States some 40 years earlier. Rather than being government sponsored and limited to murals on government buildings, the contemporary mural movement sprang from the people themselves, with murals appearing on community buildings and throughout college campuses. Perhaps the biggest difference, however, is the process. In earlier twentieth-century Mexico, murals resulted from the vision of individual artists. But today’s murals are characteristically the products of artists working with local residents on design and creation.

　　Such community engagement is characteristic of the Chicano art movement as a whole, which evolved from the same foundations as the Chicano civil rights movement of the mid-1960s. Both were a direct response to the needs of Chicanos in the United States, who were fighting for the right to adequate education, political empowerment, and decent working conditions. Artists joined other cultural workers in making political statements and played a key role in taking these statements to the public. They developed collectives and establishedcultural centers that functioned as the public-relations arm of the Chicano sociopolitical movement.

　　A. argue for the superiority of a style of art

　　D. They constituted the nucleus from which the Chicano civil rights movement originated.

　　3. Which of the following best describes the relationship between the first paragraph and the second paragraph of the passage?

　　A. The first focuses on the mural artists as individuals; the second, on their actions as a group.

　　B. The first compares the mural revival with an earlier artistic movement; the second describes the context contemporary to the revival

　　C. The first defines the revival by distinguishing it from an earlier artistic movement; the second addresses the political goals of both the revival and its forerunner

　　D. The first presents an apparently plausible account of the relationship between the revival and is forerunner, the second calls that account into question

　　E. The first is concerned with the artistic aims and ambitions behind the San Francisco murals; the second considers their political significance
