问题      When the Group of Seven was founded in 1920, the artists hoped for recognition of their works and ideas. In the catalog to their first exhibition, they actually invited adverse criticism -- only because what they feared most was indifference. At a time when Canada was coming into its own, they felt that a major factor in the development of a strong and healthy nation was a vi tall and relevant art. They hoped that their works would make a significant contribution to the evolution of a truly Canadian art tradition. Therefore, be hind the Group’s desire to paint the Canadian landscape lay the genuine con eviction that it was the northern landscape that represented and expressed the country’s unique character. It was this concept that was to capture the image nation of so many Canadians.
     Today there is every indication that the Group attained its goals. These artists achieved widespread popular success and acclaim, and their works have been honored with exhibitions, degrees, and medals; reproduction of their works can be found on everything from posters to postage stamps.
     As frequently happens with popular trends, there has been a tendency to romanticize the accomplishments of the Group, which has inevitably caused many misconceptions to develop. The most common of these is the popular belief that the Group of Seven was violently criticized in the first Group shows. However, the truth of the matter is that the reviews for these early shows were nearly all favorable.
The author implies that the Group of Seven welcomed adverse criticism because it would ______ .
选项 A、help them to improve as artists
B、mean that their work was being noticed
C、increase the market value of their work
D、gain support for them as victims of unfair criticism
答案B
解析 此题为推论题。具体地说应为细节推论题，解题关键在于对原因状语的理解。答案在第一段第二句中：他们欢迎批评的原因是他们最怕冷漠，由此可推断人们对于新事物的不予理睬比批评更可怕，因为批评意味着引起了注意，据此，B项正确。
