问题                 The Photographer of the Blind Man
    Blind photography: the very concept sounds odd. But a striking exhibition of photographs in California, argues that it stems from the core of contemporary art. The show "Sight Unseen", at the California Museum of Photography until Aug. 29, features everything: underwater scenes, portraits, landscapes, abstracts, and everything else you might expect from a "sighted" photographer.
    How do the blind take their photographs? Some rely on assistants to set up and then describe the shots, and others just point and shoot in the right place. "Just like any good artists," says McCulloh, "they have their unique ways of operating."
    One participating photographer is Pete Eckert, an artist with multiple degrees in design and sculpture who only turned to photography after losing his vision in the mid-1950s. He opens the shutter on his camera and then uses flashlights, lasers, lights, and candles to paint his scene on film. Kurt Weston’s dark and depressing images are also a star of the show. A former fashion photographer in Chicago, Weston lost his vision due to AIDS in 1996, and focuses on images of decay and disability.
    What do gallery-goers say? "I was very impressed by it. The technique and experience was amazingly diverse," says John Hesketh, a printmaker in Anaheim. "You never have a sense of feeling sorry for these people because they’ve worked very hard to prove their value."
    Beyond the praise, however, the exhibition also makes a great example for disabled people everywhere. That point was explained in early May during a panel discussion on the TV show. At the very end of the talk, one attendee summed it up: " This exhibition is extraordinary and revolutionary for many reasons. I think that by being an artist with a disability, you are continuing the work of those people who fought for basic civil rights to gain access and to have a voice. In that way, it’s so wonderful, that your photographs say it all. "
What can we learn about the blind photographers?
选项 A、Most of them were not born blind.
B、Most of them did job related to art.
C、They concentrate on different subjects.
D、Their images are dark and depressing.
答案C
解析 推理判断题。由题干中的blind photographers定位到第三段。本段中的两位摄影师一位通过光影进行表现，一位则关注腐败与残缺。再加上第一段第二句中所提到的各种不同的照片作依据，可知，摄影师的主题各有不同，故[C]为正确答案。虽然文章中提到的两位摄影师都是后来失去的视觉，但这并不能说明大多数盲人摄影师都是后天失明，排除[A]；同样，不能因为两位摄影师一位有艺术类的学位，一位曾经是时装摄影师，就推断大多数摄影师都从事过与艺术有关的工作。故排除[B]；第三句说库尔特·韦斯顿的照片画面黑暗而且压抑，而不是所有的照片作品都是这样的色调。故排除[D]。
