Another kind of distinction that can be made among works of art is whether they were originally intended as objects purely to be looked at, or as objects to be used. The FINE ARTS, such as drawing, painting, and sculpture, involve the production of works to be seen and experienced primarily on an abstract rather than practical level. Pieces of fine art may produce emotional, intellectual, sensual, or spiritual responses in us. Those who love the fine arts feel that these responses are very valuable, and perhaps especially so in the midst of "a highly materialistic world", for they expand our awareness of the great richness of life itself.
In contrast to the nonfunctional appeals of the fine arts, the first purpose of the APPLIED ARTS is to serve some useful function. Lucy Lewis, a traditional potter from Acoma Pueblo in New Mexico, has applied a visually exciting surface decoration to her water jar. But the jar’s main reason for being, however, is to hold water. Some of the people of Acoma, which may be the oldest continually inhabited city in the United States, still follow the old ways, carrying water for drinking, cooking, and washing up to their homes from natural ponds below. The forms of their water jars are therefore designed to prevent spilling and to balance readily on one’s head. The pots must also be light in weight, so Acoma water pots are some of the world’s thinnest-walled pottery. Interestingly, the languages of most Native American peoples do not include a word that means "fine art". While they have traditionally created pottery, basketry, and weaving with a good sense of design, these pieces were part of their everyday lives.
The applied art of pottery-making is one of the crafts, the making of useful objects by hand. Other applied art disciplines are similarly functional. Graphic designers create advertisements, fabrics, layouts for books and magazines, and so on. Industrial designers shape the mass-produced objects used by high-tech societies, from cars, telephones, and teapots, to one of the most famous visual images in the world: the Coca-cola bottle. Other applied arts include clothing design, interior design, and environmental design.
The Coca-Cola bottle mentioned in Paragraph 3______.
选项
A、is a product of crafts
B、is an example of applied art
C、produces spiritual responses
D、is an object to be looked at
答案
B
解析
此题是一道细节推断类题,考查考生根据文章中的细节内容进行理解和引申推断的能力。问题问第三段中提到的可口可乐瓶怎样。第三段中相关信息指出:工业设计师塑造高科技社会中使用的大规模生产的物品,从汽车、电话、茶壶到世界最著名的视觉形象:可口可乐瓶子。其他应用艺术包括服装设计、室内设计和环境设计。由此可以推断出可口可乐瓶子是应用艺术。所以,本题的正确答案应该是B,应用艺术的一个实例。选项A:一个工艺产品;C:产生心灵的回应;D:一个观赏物品;这三个选项均为干扰项。
