问题     One way to assess This is the American Earth, a collection of photographs selected and arranged by Nancy Newhall, is to apply Newshall’s own criteria for judging photographic art. Does this photographic essay achieve results impossible in other media? By contrasting the small with the vast—for example, placing a photo of a rock pool next to one of a spiral galaxy— Newhall exploits the camera’s ability to manipulate the size of an object, thereby challenging viewers to question their conventional concepts of size. However, a similar result could be achieved in the medium of painting.
    Does the work bear its creator’s imprint, and does it draw viewers’ interest even after repeated viewings, Newhall’s second and third criteria? Indeed, Newhall’s work bears her unmistakable imprint in the juxtaposition of the photos and in the rhythmic prose accompanying them, but the individual viewer must decide whether Newhall’s work evokes, as it did for this reviewer, new experiences upon subsequent viewings. [br] The author of the passage suggests which of the following about Newhall’s third criterion?

选项 A、Its satisfaction may depend on the reactions of individual viewers.
B、It cannot be applied by the individual viewer on the basis of his or her own experience.
C、It is easier to apply than are Newhall’s other criteria.
D、It is the most important criterion to consider when judging photographic art.
E、Its application may be more difficult when a photographic essay rather than another form of photographic art is being evaluated.

答案 A

解析 根据最后一句,第三个标准是在观众看了那么多作品之后,是否对其他作品依然有兴趣,另外这一点必须要由观众自己来决定自己是否还感兴趣,因此标准三依赖的是观众的个人反应,所以选项A正确。
