问题     If art seeks to divorce itself from meaningful and associative images, if it holds material alone as its objective, then I think that the material itself ought to have the greatest possible plasticity, the greatest potentialities for the development of shapes and the creating of relationships. For that reason I think that the sculpture which has been created with a view to being form alone has been a great deal more successful and interesting than has been the painting in that vein. The sculptor sets out with two pre-existing advantages: one, that he must have craftsmanship, and the other, that he works in the round. He does not have to stimulate depth nor create illusions of depth because he works in volume—in three-dimensional form.
    Thus Noguchi, working in marble, is able to develop relationships in three-dimensions rather than two and yet retain both simplicity and unity. He has at his disposal the advantages of light and space, and the natural translucence and glow of marble, all of which he exploits and reveals with great elegance.
    Henry Moore is one of the great contemporary imaginers who has brought new materials and new concepts into sculptural form. He discovers the naturally heroic character of bronze and exploits feelingly the graining and fine surfaces of wood. Undoubtedly his most remarkable feat has been the surrounding of open space and his use of such space as a sculptural material. But beauty and craft and idea are still paramount with Moore and he never obliterates these qualities in the shock of the new. [br] Why, according to the passage, is marble good for sculpture as different form other materials?
选项 A、It is three-dimensional.
B、It is readily available.
C、It has simplicity and unity.
D、It has translucent and glowing qualities.
答案 D
解析 第二段，作者评论Noguchi的作品“尽显优雅”时，提到了大理石的特点：the natural translucence and glow of marble，选项D正确。
