On the anniversary of the artist’s birth, Van Gogh’s Sunflowers was【C1】______for just under £25 million at the fine art auctioneers(拍卖商), Christie’s, in London. The【C2】______was triple the previous record of £8 million paid in 1985 for Mantegna’s Adoration of the Magi. At least ten bidders【C3】______for the painting, half【C4】______telephone, anonymously battling it out in leaps of £500,000. Van Gogh wrote in a letter of 1889 that one of these Scots or Americans【C5】______to pay 500 francs— about £25 at that time — for【C6】______a painting.
Christie’s chairman【C7】______reporters after the sale, " it’s a rare picture. " A spokesman for the firm added, "It’s fantastic. " Not【C8】______who was at the auction agreed. One commented, "More money【C9】______sense. "
Many people do【C10】______uneasy that a picture could be auctioned for such an unbelievable sum. They find distasteful the contrast【C11】______this sort of money and the impoverished life of the painter【C12】______. Van Gogh, once a lay preacher among the miners of Belgium , was more【C13】______in producing work that dignified labor than he was in selling for a profit. Depressive, poor, unrecognized and【C14】______suicidal, he remains a romantic figure in the public【C15】______
【C3】
选项
A、competed
B、shouted
C、fought
D、argued
答案
A
解析
前面已经说了是拍卖,bidder可估计是投标者,为了这幅画竞争。这种竞争不是肢体上的争斗fight,也不是口头上的争论argue,当然也不是喊叫shout了。选项A是正确的。
