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.
【C5】
选项 A、imagination
B、prediction
C、information
D、outline
答案C
解析 原句中In addition提示这句话还在列举art history与general history classes相比具有的优势。艺术或艺术史告诉我们的应该是关于人们日常活动的“信息”，即选项information。在imagination不对，因为艺术史不能说是对历史的“想象”；说艺术史是predication“预测”更不对；outline“轮廓，大概”，而历史包含的知识肯定是具体的，因此也不能选。
