问题 Although elementary school children have traditionally received considerable instruction in creating visual art, there has been no such instruction in music. Consequently, in contrast to the situation for visual art, most people as adults do not recognize the artistic intentions of composers. To remedy this situation, a few educators now recommend teaching elementary school students to compose music.
Which of the following, if true, is the strongest basis for arguing that implementation of the recommendation will not lead to the desired result?
选项 A、Few elementary school students are likely to create superior compositions.
B、Traditional education facilitates the appreciation of visual art, but not the recognition of the artistic intentions of artists.
C、More people report that they enjoy music than report that they enjoy visual art.
D、Some composers have had little formal instruction in composition.
E、The recommendation is based on the results of a controlled longitudinal study conducted in three schools within a single city.
答案B
解析 Which answer choice most suggests that implementing the recommendation will not lead to the desired result?
Most elementary school children receive education in creating visual art but no education in composing music. Although most adults recognize the artist’s intentions in a work of visual art, the same is not true for most adults’ ability to recognize the composer’s intentions in a piece of music. Based on these facts, it is advocated that elementary school children be taught to compose music.
It is important to note that we are not told that most adults are able to recognize an artist’s intentions specifically because of elementary-level instruction in creating visual art.
A    The goal of the recommendation is not for elementary school students to create superior compositions in music.
B    Correct. This indicates that traditional education in visual art—including, presumably, such education for elementary school students—does not generally result in ability to recognize the artistic intentions of artists. By analogy, the recommended education in music composition would be unlikely to lead to a recognition of the artistic intentions of composers.
C    Ability to enjoy music or visual art does not necessarily imply the ability to recognize the artistic intentions of visual artists or composers.
D    Composers’ formal instruction is entirely irrelevant to the recommendation as well as to whether the recommendation achieves its intended purpose.
E    This suggests that the recommendation is based on scientifically collected data. That does not suggest that the recommendation would fail to achieve its intended purpose.
The correct answer is B.
