Sheila was reluctant to go to the art show because she thought it would be ______.
W: Sheila entered the art center reluctantly. Her best friend, Lisa, had a painting on display; otherwise she would never have come. But Lisa talked constantly about her summer art class and urged Sheila to attend the first show. Sheila had almost refused to come when she learned what would be shown.
"Do you mean to tell me that everyone in your class painted the same thing?" she had asked.
"Yes," Lisa had said. "It is a still life of an orange and some grapes."
"How boring! I don’t see how you could stand to paint the same thing as everyone else did. Art should be individual."
"It is individual," Lisa had answered. "You’ll see."
So Sheila had come to the show. As she walked into the gallery, she saw her friend waiting. "Hi, Lisa!" Sheila called, "Here I am!"
Lisa led Sheila into a large room. The first painting that Sheila examined was a complete surprise to her. The artist had painted a shapeless mass of color for the fruit but mixed the colors very well, making them quite pleasing to the eye. The next artist had given the orange and grapes such perfect roundness that they looked artificial. Another artist bad painted the fruit in strange shapes, while another had made it look so real that Sheila felt she could almost taste it. Lisa’s painting showed the surface of the orange in every detail, making Sheila want to touch it.
By the time Sheila finished viewing all the paintings, she was thoroughly fascinated. She realized that every painting was as individual as the student who had painted it. All had seen the fruit differently and had tried to put their impressions on canvas. Sheila had begun to learn what art was all about.
选项
答案
boring
解析
本题考查细节理解。文章第一句话说:“Sheila entered the art center reluctantly.”,这里的关键词是“reluctantly”,它的意思是:“不情愿地”,接着讲述她不情愿的原因:“Lisa had said,‘It is a still life of an orange and some grapes.’”当她听到这个时,便失望地叫道:“How boring!”。
