问题     Each artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. He hopes the public will listen and understand—he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him.

They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the【13】billions possibles, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their works we should never have noticed these【14】shapes and colors, or have felt the【15】which they brought to the artist.
    Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in 【16】and at rest; their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they【17】choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without【18】to the character of their subjects.
    If one painter chooses to paint a decaying leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is【19】our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something,【20】something—all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.

选项
答案E
解析 由without可知此处应为名词或动名词，并可与to搭配。本句实际上是一个承上启下句，从下一段的内容可以推断画家选择作画主题的时候需考虑对象的特征特点，因此此处最合适的词是reference。reference to意为“涉及，提及”。
