问题 In the past century Irish painting has changes from a British—influenced lyrical tradition to an art that evokes the ruggedness(朴实)and roots of an Irish Celtic past．At the turn of the twentieth century Irish painters，including notables Walter Frederick Osborne and Sir William Orpen，looked elsewhere for influence Osborne’s exposure to‘plain air’painting deeply impacted his stylistic development；and Orpen allied himself with a group of English artists，while at the same time partici pated in the French avant-garde experiment，both as painter and teacher．
    However，nationalist energies were beginning to coalesce(接合)，reviving interest in Irish culture-including Irish visual arts．Beatrice Elvery’s(1907)，a landmark achievement，merged the devotional simplicity of fifteenth—century Italian painting with the iconography(图像学)of Ireland’s Celtic past，linking the history of Irish Catholicism with the still—nascent(初生的)Irish republic And，although also captivated by the French plain air school，Sir John Lavery invoked the mythology of his native land for a 1928 commission to paint the central figure for the bank note of the new Irish Free State Lavery chose as this figure，with her arnl on a Celtic harp(竖琴)，the national symbol of independent Ireland   In Irish painting from about 1910，memories of Edwardian romanticism coexisted with a new sense of realism，exemplified by the paintings of Paul Henry and Se Keating，a student of Orpen’s．Realism also crept into the work of Edwardians Lavery and Orpen，both of whom made paintings depicting World War I，Lavery with a distanced Victorian nobility，Orpen closer to the front，revealing
a more sinister and realistic vision．Meanwhile，counterpoint(对照)to the Edwardians and realists came JackbYeats，whose travels throughout the rugged and more authentically Irish West led him  to depict subjects ranging from street scenes in Dublin to boxing matches and funerals．Fusing close observations of Irish life and icons with an Irish identity in a new way，Yeats changed the face of I fish painting and became the most important Irish artist of his century．
Which of the following best explains the author’s use of the word‘counterpoint’in referring toYeats ?_____________
选项 A、Yeats’paintings differed significantly in subject matter from those of his contemporaries inIreland
B、Yeats reacted to the realism of his contemporary artists by invoking nineteenth．century natu．ralism in his own painting style
C、Yeats avoided religious and mythological themes in favor of mundane portrayals of Irish life
D、Yeats built upon the realism painting tradition，elevating it to unprecedented artisticheights．
答案A
解析 根据题干中“Counterpoint”和“YeatS”可定位到文章最后一段，这一段中提到1910年前后，爱尔兰绘画是浪漫主义与现实主义并存，Lavery和Orpen的画主要反映一战带来的灾难性；而Jack B.Yeats则是在游览了爱尔兰西部后，他的画更多的是描绘都柏林的街景、拳击比赛、葬礼等。这两种绘画风格最大的不同之处在于他们所描绘的对象不同，故A项正确。
