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 passage suggests that the author would be most likely to agree with which of the following statements?
选项 A、Art speaks to the passions as well as to the intellect.
B、Most works of art express unconscious wishes or desires.
C、The best art is accessible to the greatest number of people.
D、The art produced in the last few decades is of inferior quality.
答案A
解析 艺术既激发才智又激发情感。根据最后一句，评论家的知识和训练为认知能力和情感作好厂准备，评论家个人要对艺术品本身的特征作出适当的反应，这些是必不可少的。
