问题     Lithography(平版印刷术)is an art process of printing from a plane surface on which the image to be printed is ink-receptive and the blank area ink-repellent. Lithography is based on the antipathy of oil and water. A drawing is made in reverse on the ground surface of the stone with a crayon or ink that contains soap or grease. The image produced on the stone will accept printing ink and reject water. Once the grease in the ink has penetrated the stone, the drawing is washed off and the stone kept moist. It is then inked with a roller and printed on a lithographic press. As a process, lithography is probably the most unrestricted, allowing a wide range of tones and effects. Several hundred fine prints can be taken from a stone. The medium was employed by many 19th century artists, including Goya, Delacroix, Daumier, Degas, and remains popular with contemporary artists. Among American artists noted for their lithographs are Currier and Ives.
    The Currier and Ives firm of lithographers was founded Nathaniel Currier in 1834. James Ives joined the firm as a bookkeeper eighteen years later just after becoming Currier’s brother-in-law, and was made a partner in 1857. The pair showed an uncanny(神秘的)ability to predict what the American public would rush to buy in the way of cheap art, and literally hundreds of thousands of prints from as many as 7,000 individual pictures were turned out and sold from the firm’s shop in lower New York by street vendors and over shop counters throughout the country and even in Europe. Though in the course of time the firm employed some of America’s finest artists, artistic excellence could certainly not be counted among the firm’s real goals.
    Nevertheless, some time after it went out of business in 1907, the prints enjoyed new popularity as collectors’ items, the rarer examples fetching thousands of dollars in the 1920’s.
What occurs when a design has been drawn on a flat surface with a special grease crayon and to which(the surface)water and then ink are applied?
选项 A、The ink adheres to the crayon image and is repelled by the moist areas.
B、The ink adheres to the moist areas and is repelled by the crayon image.
C、The water adheres to the crayon image and is repelled by the moist areas.
D、Both ink and water are repelled by the crayon image.
答案A
解析 细节归纳题。根据题干关键词grease，crayon定位到原文首段。原文首段第三句提到了“在石板的表面用含有油的材料描画出图样”，其中，原文中的drawing选项A中的image对应，选项A中的crayon，ink为原文重现。原文首段第四、五句提到“石板表面除了有图样的部分由于有油而未沾水以外，其他空白部分均被水浸湿”，其中，reject water与选项A中的is repelled by the moistareas对应。故答案为A。另外，注意本题问了两个问题。
