问题                 The Photographer of the Blind Man
    Blind photography: the very concept sounds odd. But a striking exhibition of photographs in California, argues that it stems from the core of contemporary art. The show "Sight Unseen", at the California Museum of Photography until Aug. 29, features everything: underwater scenes, portraits, landscapes, abstracts, and everything else you might expect from a "sighted" photographer.
    How do the blind take their photographs? Some rely on assistants to set up and then describe the shots, and others just point and shoot in the right place. "Just like any good artists," says McCulloh, "they have their unique ways of operating."
    One participating photographer is Pete Eckert, an artist with multiple degrees in design and sculpture who only turned to photography after losing his vision in the mid-1950s. He opens the shutter on his camera and then uses flashlights, lasers, lights, and candles to paint his scene on film. Kurt Weston’s dark and depressing images are also a star of the show. A former fashion photographer in Chicago, Weston lost his vision due to AIDS in 1996, and focuses on images of decay and disability.
    What do gallery-goers say? "I was very impressed by it. The technique and experience was amazingly diverse," says John Hesketh, a printmaker in Anaheim. "You never have a sense of feeling sorry for these people because they’ve worked very hard to prove their value."
    Beyond the praise, however, the exhibition also makes a great example for disabled people everywhere. That point was explained in early May during a panel discussion on the TV show. At the very end of the talk, one attendee summed it up: " This exhibition is extraordinary and revolutionary for many reasons. I think that by being an artist with a disability, you are continuing the work of those people who fought for basic civil rights to gain access and to have a voice. In that way, it’s so wonderful, that your photographs say it all. "
What does the passage tell us about the exhibition of blind photography?
选项 A、The photographs at the exhibition look quite odd, but striking as well.
B、The exhibition of blind photography contains photographs about California.
C、The photos at the exhibition are about something that usually can’t be seen.
D、The content of the photos is the same as those made by common photographers.
答案D
解析 事实细节题。由题干中的the exhibition定位到第一段。第二句中列出了参展照片的内容，包括了所有正常人摄影作品出的各种内容。因此[D]“照片内容与视力正常的摄影师拍出的照片的内容没什么不同"为正确答案。本段第一句说“盲人摄影”这个概念听上去很奇怪，并没有说照片看上去很奇怪，因此排除[A]；本段第二句说这个摄影展是在加利福尼亚照片博物馆展出，但并不一定所有的照片拍的只是加利福尼亚州的景色人 物，因此排除[B]；摄影展的主题是“失明者的影像"，指的是这些照片出自看不到这个世界的人之手，并不是照片本身的内容是一般人看不到的，因此排除[C]。
