问题     Modern technology and science have produced a wealth of new materials and new ways of using old materials. For the artist this means wider opportunities. There is no doubt that the limitations of materials and nature of tools both restrict and shape a man’s work. Observe how the development of plastics and light metals along with new methods of welding has changed the direction of sculpture. Transparent plastic materials allow one to look through an object, to see its various sides superimposed on each other (as in Cubism or in an X-ray). Today, welding is as prevalent as casting was in the past. This new method encourages open designs, where surrounding and intervening space becomes as important as form itself.
    More ambiguous than other scientific inventions familiar to modern artists, but no less influential , are the psychoanalytic studies of Freud and his followers, discoveries that have infiltrated recent art, especially Surrealism. The Surrealists, in their struggle to escape the monotony and frustrations of everyday life, claimed that dreams were the only hope. Turning to the irrational world of their unconscious, they banished all time barriers and moral judgements to combine disconnected dream experiences from the past, present and intervening psychological states. The Surrealists were concerned with overlapping emotions more than with overlapping forms. Their paintings often become segmented capsules of associative experiences. For them, obsessive and often unrelated images replaced the direct emotional message of expressionism. They did not need to smash paint and canvas; they went beyond this to smash the whole continuity of logical thought.
    There is little doubt that contemporary art has taken much from contemporary life. In a period when science has made revolutionary strides, artists in their studios have not been unaware of scientists in their laboratories. But this has rarely been a one-way street. Painters and sculptors, through admittedly influenced by modern science, have also molded and changed our world. If break-up has been a vital part of their expression, it has not always been a symbol of destruction. Quite the contrary : it has been used to examine more fully, to penetrate more deeply, to analyze more thoroughly , to enlarge, isolate and make more familiar certain aspects of lire that earlier we were apt to neglect. In addition, it sometimes provides rich multiple experiences so organized as not merely to reflect our world, but in fact to interpret it.
According to the passage, it is true that______.
选项 A、artistic creations seem to be the reproductions of modern technology
B、artistic creations have made great strides scientifically
C、artistic creations appear to be incapable of ignoring material advances
D、artistic creations are the reflection of the material world
答案C
解析 文章主要是讲现代科技中新材料的出现和原有材料的新方法的运用对艺术创造的影响。A项．reproductions of modem technology(现代技术的复制品)过于广泛，不合原文。B项文中没有提及。D项the material world(物质世界)过于广泛，不合原文。C项科技进步和艺术创造之间有很大的联系，符合题意。
