　　Question

　　【TPO53-passage3】
　　(Paleolithic Cave Paintings)
　　This simple acceptance of art for art's sake has a certain appeal.To think of Lascaux as a gallery allows it to be a sort of special viewing place where the handiwork of accomplished artists might be displayed. Plausibly, daily existence in parts of Paleolithic Europe may not have been so hard, with an abundance of ready food and therefore the leisure time for art. The problems with this explanation, however, are various. In the first place, the proliferation of archaeological discoveries-and this includes some of the world's innumerable rock art sites that cannot be dated-has served to emphasize a remarkably limited repertoire of subjects.The images that recur are those of animals. Human figures are unusual, and when they do make an appearance, they are rarely!done with the same attention to form accorded to the animals. If Paleolithic artists were simply seeking to represent the beauty of the world around them, would they not have left a far greater range of pictures-of trees, flowers, of the Sun and the stars?
　　Paragraph 2 suggest that the Lascaux cave paintings could have been created as art for art’s only if which of the following were true?
　　A. Caves were often used as viewing places for handiwork of all kinds.
　　B. Artists during the Paleolithic era were especially accomplished.
　　C. Paleolithic people were able to satisfy their basic needs fairly easily.
　　D. People in Paleolithic Europe learned about art from people living in other areas.

　　思路解析
　　题目类型：事实信息题题
　　干扰选项：A/D、B
　　干扰类型：无中生有、信息不符
　　干扰项分析

　　选项A：无中生有
　　选项A声称“洞穴经常被用作各种手工艺品的展示场所”。虽然原文提到"To think of Lascaux as a gallery"，但这只是一种假设性的类比，并未提到洞穴经常被用作展示场所陈述，选项A是无中生有。

　　选项B：信息不符
　　选项B声称“旧石器时代的艺术家特别有成就”。虽然原文提到" viewing place where the handiwork of accomplished artists might be displayed."，指的是技艺精湛的艺术家们的杰作可能在该洞窟被展示，但是洞窟可能展示了杰作并不对等于旧石器时代艺术家本身特别有成就，选项B是信息不符。

　　选项D：无中生有
　　选项D声称：旧石器时代的欧洲人从其他地区的人那里学习艺术，但是原文完全没有提及艺术知识的传播或学习，选项D是无中生有.

　　做题策略
　　1. 分析题干：分解题干问题、抓定位词
　　2. 原文定位
　　3. 理解定位词相关原文
　　4. 选项和定位句同义替换
　　正确答案：C

　　详细正确思路
　　1. 分析题干：分解题干问题、抓定位词
　　分解题干问题：题目问的是“洞穴壁画被创造的原因是因为艺术本身”这一假设成立的条件是什么？
　　抓定位词：根据定位词的不可替换性，确定题目中定位词为"art for art's sake"
　　2. 原文定位
　　关键词定位：题干中的核心信息为“art for art's sake”，需定位至原文中第一句话：This simple acceptance of art for art's sake has a certain appeal.
　　*需要注意整个文章前半段都在讨论该假设，都应该是解题范围
　　由于第一句话中并没有提到条件，需往后文找条件。
　　3. 理解定位词相关原文
　　核心逻辑链：
　　"art for art's sake"理论假设基于条件是旧石器时代生活不太艰难（"daily existence...may not have been so hard"）；食物充足可能带来艺术创作的空闲时间（"abundance of ready food and therefore the leisure time for art"）。
　　关键句分析：
　　"Plausibly, daily existence...with an abundance of ready food and therefore the leisure time for art. "句子中使用“with”表现条件，该关键词后就是答案1
　　4. 选项和定位句同义替换
　　同义替换识别：
　　选项C中的"were able to satisfy their basic needs fairly easily"对应原文"with an abundance of ready food and therefore the leisure time for art."。
　　总结
　　这道题主要涉及到三大难点：首先，最根本的问题在于学生往往无法识别出题目要求的是找出假设成立的条件，而非客观事实。许多考生会直接寻找文章中的事实陈述，而忽略了题干中"could have been...only if"这一关键提示。其次，即使意识到需要寻找条件，学生在实际定位时也面临困难，难以在复杂文本中准确锁定支持假设的具体条件信息。最后，学生对"as art for art only"这一艺术理论概念的理解存在障碍，这导致他们无法准确把握题目考查的核心要点。要克服这些问题，建议考生：1) 加强对于逻辑关系词的密感度，特别是对条件性表述的敏感度；2) 练习在长难句中提取条件信息的技巧；3) 积累常见艺术理论术语，如"art for art's sake"等专业表达。
