问题  
W: Thank you for inviting me to the gallery, Christopher. I haven’t visited here since your predecessor’s retirement function.
M: Would you like to see the newest additions to our collection first, Catherine?
W: Are those the landscapes by Daniel Gregory? I absolutely adore her work.
M: This first piece was a gift to the gallery from the artist herself, and it’s quite exquisite.
W: I love how she depicts the barren landscape. The colors complement each other perfectly.
M: You can sense the desolation in the picture. This piece was inspired by Gregory’s recent trek in the Gobi Desert.
W: And how did you obtain her other piece over here?
M: It was purchased at auction by an anonymous collector who lent it to the gallery for display. This composition is one of her most acclaimed paintings.
W: It must have cost that collector a small fortune to purchase this.
M: Obviously. I can’t disclose the exact amount he paid, but it was substantial.
W: There’s so much detail in this painting. I feel like I can really immerse myself in the scene. I particularly like the symmetry created by the reflection of the mountain in the lake.
M: This particular piece was the one that was nominated for a Gateway Award. I was lucky enough to attend the award ceremony as Gregory’s guest.
W: So you know her personally. I assume she is an eccentric artist.
M: Quite the opposite, in fact, she’s not at all eccentric. I would say she is one of the most easygoing and intelligent people I know.
W: I’d love to be able to meet her. There are so many questions I’d like to ask.
M: What a coincidence! I’m meeting her for dinner tonight! Would you like to come along?
W: I’d love to, thank you.

选项 A、It was the painting that instantly made her rich.
B、It has cost him a lot of money to purchase it.
C、It was recently purchased by the gallery.
D、It is owned by an anonymous collector.

答案D

解析 本题问男士对Daniel Gregory那幅最受赞誉的画作的看法。男士说这幅画是一位匿名收藏家在拍卖会上购买的(purchased at auction by an anonymous collector),并借给画廊展出。故选D项“它是由一个匿名收藏家拥有的”,owned是对purchased的同义转述。A项“是这幅画让她一下子变得富有”未在录音中提及。B项“为了购买它,他花了很多钱”是女士的话。这幅画只是收藏家借给画廊展出的,故排除C项“它最近被画廊购买下来”。
