The condition of scholarship devoted to the history of women in photography is confounding. Recent years have witnessed the posthumous inflation of the role of the hohhyist Alice Austen into that of a pioneering documentarian while dozens of notable
line senior figures—Marion Palfi, whose photographs of civil-rights activities in the South
5 served as early evidence of the need for protective legislation, to name one—received scant attention from scholars. And, while Naomi Rosenblum’s synoptic History of Women Photographers covers the subject through 1920 in a generally useful fashion, once she reaches the 1920s, when the venues, forms, applications, and movements of the medium expanded exponentially, she resorts to an increasingly terse listing of un-
10 familiar names, with approaches and careers summarized in a sentence or two.
In the context in which it appears, "inflation"(line 2)most nearly means
选项
A、exaggeration
B、acquisition
C、evaluation
D、distortion
E、attenuation
答案
A
解析
The term "hobbyist" suggests Austen’s relative lack of seriousness as a photographer when compared with "senior figures," yet her role has been elevated to that of a "pioneering documentarian" at the expense of these other figures. Choice D may be appealing in that this elevation could be considered a form of distortion, but Choice A is more specific as well as more in line with the dictionary definition of "inflated" as "expanded to an abnormal or unjustifiable volume or level." Thus, Choice A, "exaggeration," is the correct answer.
