问题    For nearly a century before there was such a thing as a space program, a view of space was possible. People could see detailed views of the Moon, explore Mars, and study the geometric beauty of Saturn’s rings. All of this was made possible by a small group of artist-astronomers who made a career of illustrating how other worlds in space might look.
   Lucien Rudaux, a French artist, was the first to combine his artistic talents with his knowledge of astronomy. His paintings show a mixture of skilled observations, brilliant imagination, and painstaking attention to details. As a result, many of his works have come surprisingly to close to actual conditions on distant planets. His painting of Mars included moonlike craters that were first photographed by the Mariner 4 probe in 1965. His 1930 painting of a dust storm looks remarkably like a photograph of a storm taken by Orbiter 2 in 1976.
   The artist-astronomers, including Rudaux, stimulated interest in outer space by painting what eventually turned out to be precise portraits of the planets. [br] According to the passage, the works of Lucien Rudaux represent a combination of _________.
选项 A、astronomy and mathematics
B、generalizations and specifics
C、photography and illustration
D、fact and fiction
答案 D
解析 本题要求考生注意文中“His paintings show a mixture of skilled observations，brilliant imagination，and painstaking attention to details．”可见他的作品是事实与幻想的结合，所以正确的答案为D。
