问题    A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.
   In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented: that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective (主观的) : it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly "political" artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May, 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its abuse (滥用) of power over people.
   In the same way, art can reflect a culture’ s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art had been almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that described people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’ t read, they could still understand the Bible stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues are not holy.
The passage mainly discusses .
选项 A、the development of art history
B、the difference between general history and art history
C、what we can learn from art
D、the influence of artists on art history
答案C
解析 通读全文可知，第一段指出对艺术表现了一个时期、一个地方的本质，比起多数历史书，研究艺术会让人们有更深刻的理解；第二段指出艺术是客观的，反映了人们的情绪和观点；最后一段指出艺术能反映一个文化的宗教信仰。由此可推知，文章主要讨论了“我们能从艺术中学到什么”。故选C。
