问题     Unlike the static, classically composed portraits produced by her mentor Walker Evans, twentieth-century New York photographer Helen Levitt’s photographs seem candid and spontaneous. Whereas Evans’ subjects look directly into the camera, so that photographer and subject conspire in the making of a portrait, Levitt’s subjects seem caught unawares. As a “street” photographer, before the term’s invention, Levitt has claimed to have attempted to capture life as she found it. But there is a paradox to her technique. Her off-the-cuff aesthetic seemingly guarantees objectivity, since she was recording street scenes she happened upon, yet her photographs could be said to be highly subjective, to be reflections of Levitt’s own distinctive preoccupations and ways of seeing. Unlike Evans’ images, Levitt’s are solely the products of the photographer without the conscious participation of their subjects. The repetitions evident in Levitt’s choices of subjects, for example her many photographs of children in masks and disguises, reveal more about Levitt herself than about those subjects.
The passage asserts which of the following about Evans’ portrait photographs?
选项 A、Evans’ photographs indicate a conscious rejection of the approaches associated with street photography.
B、The subjects in an Evans’ photograph become collaborators in the portrait’s creation.
C、Evans’ photographic portraits usually reveal more about Evans than they do about his subjects.
D、Evans’ static, classically composed portraits reveal Evans’ preoccupation with maintaining an appearance of objectivity.
E、Evan’s static, classically composed portraits reveal little about his distinctive way of seeing.
答案B
解析 本题考查埃文斯的人像内容，因此定位点是文章前两句。collaborators对应第二句的conspire。A项程度太强，根据原文，我们只能说埃文斯没有街头摄影的属性，但不能说她刻意地拒绝了街头摄影。C、E项根据文章我们并不知道埃文斯的照片想要揭示什么。D项客观性形容的是莱维特，与埃文斯无关。
