A.beinginvited;allowed
B.areinvited;areallowed
C.invited;isallowed
D.invited;areallowed

解析 细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句“人类似乎有一种本能的欲望用装饰来改进自己制造的物品,有时是为了美化……”可知,这是人类一直在做的事情。
72.Theunderlinedword“fulfil”inParagraph3means“________”.

A.itshowshowfarhumanshaveprogressed
B.ithasalongerhistorythanmanyotherartobjects
C.ithasbeenappropriatelychangedaccordingtoneed
D.itisanartformwhichraisesconcernabouttheenvironment
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。由最后一段可知,汽车最初是模仿马车设计的,但是发展到今天,其设计既满足了实用的要求也满足了美观的要求。比如,上个世纪八、九十年代的流线形设计既能减少风的阻力,又符合韵律感的艺术审美标准。现如今的汽车将安全性、环保理念融入到设计中,同时又时尚美观。由此推断,作者认为汽车总是能根据时代的需求做出相应的改变,对应本段主旨。
75.Whatisthebesttitleforthetext?
A.FormFollowsFunction
B.LifeIsArt,ArtIsLife
C.ArtinEverydayLife
D.TheBestWorkofArt
答案 C
解析 标题归纳题。文章第一句就讲“艺术在我们的生活中无处不在。”接下来,从人类为什么总在美化自己制造的每一件物品、美化的要点论述这个主题,并以现代家具和汽车为例证,因此推断文章标题为“艺术存在于日常生活之中”。
