Many things make people think artists are weird and the
weirdest may be this: artists’ only job is to explore emotions, and
yet they choose to focus on the ones that feel badly. This wasn’t 【M1】______
always so. The earliest forms of art, like painting and music, are
those best suited to expressing joy. But somewhere in the 19th 【M2】______
century, more artists began seeing happiness as phony, worst of 【M3】______
all, boring as we went from Wordsworth’s daffodils to
Baudelaire’s flowers of evil.
You could argue that art became more skeptical of
happiness because modern times have seen such misery. But it’s
not as that earlier times didn’t know perpetual war, disaster and the 【M4】______
massacre of innocents. The reason, in fact, may be just opposite: 【M5】______
there is too much damn happiness in the world today.
People in earlier eras were surrounded by reminders of
miseries. They worked until exhausted, lived with few 【M6】______
protections and died very young. In the history of the west,
before mass communication and literature, the most powerful 【M7】______
mass media was the church, which reminded worshippers that 【M8】______
their souls were in peril. Today the messages everyone is
bombarded are not religious but commercial. Our magazines 【M9】______
feature beaming celebrities and happy families in perfect homes,
while these messages are to lure us to open our wallets and make
the very idea of happiness seem unreliable.
What we forget is that happiness is more than pleasure
without pain. Today, surrounded by promises of easy happiness,
we need someone to tell us which religion once did: remember 【M10】______
that happiness comes not in denying misery but in living with it. [br] 【M7】
选项
答案
literature—literacy
解析
形近词错误。这里涉及对西方文化的了解,在宗教之前,西方已经有文学作品出现。而宗教之后出现的各社会阶层的融合带来的是教育的普及,所以literature应该改为literacy。
