Traveling on British public transport could become a pleasurable, artistic and educational experience, according to a report. But the real situation is not what we expect. The study of the arts in the transport system is fiercely critical about the lack of public art and notes that mostly it is limited to painting.
Naseem Khan and Ken Worpole, the arts policy researchers who wrote the report, conclude that well thought-out and positioned art on the underground can improve the experience of travel and gain dedicated fans. Generally, though, hours spent on public transport are "spent in a state that can range from boredom to annoyance. Traveling has become a depressing experience, a state in which one thinks of nothing in order to minimize unpleasantness."
But people who travel abroad bring back memories of Stockholm’s metro system, with art in each station. The authors point out that Britain’s transport system used to stir the imagination. Sepia(深棕色)photographs of resorts used to decorate old railway carriages, old London Transport posters encouraged travelers to explore their own city and in the Thirties a travel guide was sold on the London-Penzance express, detailing the route and giving historical information.
But now the wall designs which decorate the passageways at Heathrow airport are described as "dull and unexciting". However, praise is given to the sculptures at Brixton railway station. While the report says that there is no substitute for good architecture and design, some of its most interesting recommendations call for more imaginative developments than just concentrating on the visual arts." The presence of personal stereos and new technology suggest the introduction of fresh developments such as journey tapes containing information on, or music and poetry related to, the sights being passed." Live performance carries the danger of being a nuisance, but videos on trains containing information on shows, with booking available from train phones, would, says the report, provide a welcome service. [br] According to the researchers, what is wrong with public art at the moment?
选项
A、It is in old-fashioned styles.
B、It irritates the public.
C、It does not stand out enough.
D、It does not make travelers relaxed.
答案
C
解析
文中并未直接述及交通艺术形式是否突出,但题干中已将范围缩小到研究人员,故可根据第二段中的“Generally, though,hours spent on public transport are‘spent in a state that can range from boredom to annoyance.Traveling has become a depressing experience,a state in which one thinks of nothing in order to minimize unpleasantness’”推断出,正是由于交通广告艺术形式不够突出,才导致人们在旅途中出现无聊、不愉快等,故C正确。
