[黑龙江哈尔滨三中 2025 月考]Perhaps you've seen a giant sculpture of a fork, and wondered how on earth is this art? I'll bet you didn't dare ask it out loud for fear of looking awkward. Luckily for us, Bianca Bosker is willing to dive into the art world in Get the Picture, where she explores the spiritual richness art itself provides.
She sets out to develop what art lovers call an “eye”, keen perception to separate the “good” art from the “bad”. She finds out that the art world can be tough for people who can't afford art schools and there's a lot of mean behaviour from those at the upper levels of the art world.
Even though Bosker's experiences might make you feel less sure about art, she keeps looking deeper and finds out that art can make people happy whether they're creating it or just looking at it.
While expanding on the meaning of art, Bosker demonstrates that our brains have a “filter” (过滤器) that helps us quickly understand the world around us. This filter lets us ignore some things and focus on others. It allows us to take mental shortcuts and dismiss certain visual details to rapidly process our chaotic environment.
One function of art, Bosker wrote, is removing this filter to re-examine the world with renewed wonder. Art has the power to heal, a fact that's seized upon by doctors who will ask the patients to visit art museums. Over two dozen medical schools require students to study paintings to avoid jumping to conclusions. Instead of lecturing readers from an authoritative angle, Bosker lets them witness at eye level her growing clarity of art's function.
In the end, readers don't get a complete answer to humankind's fascination with art. Bosker instead offers her own interpretation: Art is a way to find beauty and heighten our appreciation of life. In the process of revealing the truth of an “eye”, Bosker argues that art is everywhere and can be anything, as long as we're open to letting what we see move us. By the last page, you'll be forced to revisit that fork sculpture and behold the artwork with a fresh eye.

答案： 1.C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Luckily for us, Bianca Bosker is willing to dive into the art world in Get the Picture where she explores the spiritual richness art itself provides.”和第二段中的“She sets out to develop what art lovers call an ‘eye’, keen perception to separate the ‘good’ art from the ‘bad’.”可知，Get the Picture一书探索艺术本身所蕴含的精神丰富性，旨在培养读者区分“好”艺术与“坏”艺术的洞察力，即这本书的主要目的是阐释如何欣赏艺术。故选C项。
2.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“keen perception to separate the ‘good’ art from the ‘bad’”可推测，画线词指的是分辨“好”艺术和“坏”艺术的敏锐感知能力，即批判性地感知艺术的能力。故选A项。
3.D 推理判断题。根据第三段中的she keeps looking deeper and finds out that art can make people happy、第五段中的Art has the power to heal和最后一段中的“Bosker instead offers her own interpretation: Art is a way to find beauty and heighten our appreciation of life... Bosker argues that art is everywhere and can be anything, as long as we’re open to letting what we see move us.”可知，博斯克认为艺术对人们的情感有积极影响，且艺术形式多样，无处不在，能触动人心。由此可知，她最可能同意的观点是艺术具有以各种形式影响我们情感的力量。故选D项。
4.B 推理判断题。通读全文，文章开篇引入比安卡·博斯克的Get the Picture一书，介绍了书中的核心观点(如“艺术让人快乐”“艺术帮助我们理解世界”“艺术无处不在”等)，最后总结本书的观点及对读者的启发，符合书评对书籍内容进行介绍、分析和评价的特点，所以本文最有可能是一篇有关艺术探索的书评。故选B项。
