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【C1】______history courses primarily concentrate on politics, economies, and war. But art history【C2】______on much more than this【C3】______art reflects not only the political【C4】______of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology. In addition,【C5】______about the daily activities of our【C6】______or of people very different from our own can be provided by art. In short, art【C7】______the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it【C8】______offers us a deeper understanding【C9】______can be found in most history books.
    In history books,【C10】______information about the political life of a country is【C11】______; that is, facts about politics are given,【C12】______opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is【C13】______: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first【C14】______"political" artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May, 1080, he【C15】______the Spanish government for its【C16】______of power over people.
    In the same way, art can【C17】______a culture’s religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only【C18】______of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that【C19】______people and stories from the Bible. By【C20】______, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was(and still is)its absence of human and animal images.
【C7】

选项 A、excludes
B、ignores
C、expresses
D、imagines

答案C

解析 原句中In short提示这句话是对前文的总结。前文中说艺术反映一个民族的政治观、宗教信仰、情绪以及心理,还提到艺术再现了古人的日常行为,因此推断此处作者是想表达“艺术表现某一时间和地点的根本特征”。用express一词与前文的reflect一词呼应。
