问题     A serious critic has to comprehend the particular content, unique structure, and special meaning of a work of art. And here she faces a dilemma. The critic must recognize the artistic element of uniqueness that requires subjective reaction; yet she must not be unduly prejudiced by such reactions.  Her likes and dislikes are less important than what the work itself communicates, and her preferences may blind her to certain qualities of the work and thereby prevent an adequate understanding of it. Hence, it is necessary that a critic develop a sensibility informed by familiarity with the history of art and aesthetic theory. On the other hand, it is insufficient to treat the artwork solely historically, in relation to a fixed set of ideas or values. The critic’s knowledge and training are, rather, a preparation of the cognitive and emotional abilities needed for all adequate personal response to an artwork’s own particular qualities.  
The author implies that it is insufficient to treat a work of in solely historically because ______.

选项 A、doing so would lead the critic into a dilemma
B、doing so can blind the critic to some of the artwork’s unique qualities
C、doing so can insulate the critic from personally held beliefs
D、subjective reactions can produce a biased response

答案B

解析 作者暗示,仅从历史的角度对待一件艺术品是不够的,因为这样做会使评论家无法判断艺术品的某些特色。作者说,仅从历史的角度对待艺术品是不够的。评论家的知识和所受的训练就是为培养认知能力和情感,以便对一件艺术品的特色作出很充分的反应。也就是说,评论家还必须有知识和专业训练,这样就不会失去判断艺术品的某些特色的能力。
