TPO22 閱讀 The birth of photography - 英檢

Table of Contents

最近在做TPO22第二篇閱讀的時候 覺得有幾題有疑問 不知道大家覺得如何

---
Paragraph1

Perceptions of the visible world were greatly altered by the invention of
photography in the middle of the nineteenth century.In particular,and quite
logically,the art of painting was forever changed,though not always in the
ways one might have expected. The realistic and naturalistic painters of the
mid-and late-nineteenth century were all intently aware of photography-as a
thing to use,to learn from,and react to.

Paragraph2

Unlike most major inventions, photography had been long and impatiently
awaited.The images produced by the camera obscura,a boxlike device that used a
pinhole or lens to throw an image onto a ground-glass screen or a piece of
white paper, were already familiar-the device had been much employed by
topographical artists like the Italian painter Canaletto in his detailed views
of the city of Venice.What was lacking was a way of giving such images
permanent form.This was finally achieved by Louis Daguerre(1787-1851),who
perfected a way of fixing them on a silvered copper plate.His discovery,
the“daguerreotype,” was announced in 1839.

Q1.What can be inferred from paragraphs 1 and 2 about the effect of
photography on nineteenth-century painting?

O Photography did not significantly change the way people looked at reality.
O Most painters used the images of the camera obscura in preference to those
of the daguerreotype.
O Painters who were concerned with realistic or naturalistic representation
were particularly influenced by photography.
O Artists used the long-awaited invention of photography in just the ways
they had expected to.

黃金閱讀上這題的答案是第三個選項

可是在Paragraph1中有提到 the art of painting was forever changed 那答案中的

particularly influenced 兩者部會很奇怪嗎?

Paragraph 4

The two processes produced very different results. The daguerreotype was a
unique image that reproduced what was in front of the camera lens in minute,
unselective detail and could not be duplicated. The calotype could be made in
series, and was thus the equivalent of an etching or an engraving. Its general
effect was soft edged and tonal.

Q2. The word "duplicated" in the passage is closest in meaning to

O copied
O replaced
O handled
O clarified

這題的答案是第三個 答案後面有註明有爭議

我個人覺得是第二個 因為怎麼看都不像是第三個 大家覺得呢?

---

Q3. The phrase "Its general effect" in the passage refers to

O the camera lens
O the calotype
O the etching
O the engraving

這題答案是第一個 為什麼不是第二個選項呢?
