TPO11 Ancient Egyptian Sculpture - 英檢

Paragraph 1：In order to understand ancient Egyptian art, it is vital to know
as much as possible of the elite Egyptians' view of the world and the functions
and contexts of the art produced for them. Without this knowledge we can
appreciate only the formal content of Egyptian art, and we will fail to
understand why it was produced or the concepts that shaped it and caused it to
adopt its distinctive forms. In fact, a lack of understanding concerning the
purposes of Egyptian art has often led it to be compared unfavorably with the
art of other cultures: Why did the Egyptians not develop sculpture in which
the body turned and twisted through space like classical Greek statuary?
Why do the artists seem to get left and right confused? And why did they not
discover the geometric perspective as European artists did in the Renaissance?
The answer to such questions has nothing to do with a lack of skill or
imagination on the part of Egyptian artists and everything to do with the
purposes for which they were producing their art.

2. Paragraph 1 suggests that one reason Egyptian art is viewed less favorably
than other art is that Egyptian art lacks
○ a realistic sense of human body proportion
○ a focus on distinctive forms of varying sizes
○ the originality of European art
○ the capacity to show the human body in motion

答案是D
但我看了好多次還是選不出來...
從這句判斷a lack of understanding concerning the purposes of Egyptian art
我原本選C
因為我覺得要了解藝術的用途就要了解藝術的發展(origin)
我是不是想錯了...orz
謝謝大家的解答!
