6. 32 What is the writer's main point in the second paragraph?

   • Australian landscape painting is more highly regarded than British.
   • Britain is still imposing its principles on Australian art.
   • British art cannot be compared to Australian art.

7. 33 What does Joanna Mendelssohn find surprising?
   • Modem Australian landscape painting has great variety.
   • The guidelines for the choice of work were very traditional.
   • Landscape painting remains a popular subject for British artists.
   • The British find the Australian landscape unsuitable as a subject.

   答案：The guidelines for the choice of work were very traditional.

   原文定位：What Mendelssohn found surprising about this exhibition was that the underlying rules for the selection of works seemed to have been so conservative

8. 34 Shaun Gladwell's work is included in the exhibition because
   • it adopts a subjective approach to depicting the landscape.
   • skateboarding is an inspiration to many Australian artists.
   • storms are a significant feature in the Australian landscape.
   • Bondi is an iconic Australian location.

   答案：it adopts a subjective approach to depicting the landscape.

   原文定位：It is his acknowledgment of landscape (or seascape) tradition, colored by Gladwell's own individualism. "To exhibit my work in this show might make some sense because I was interested in Turner and the idea of atmosphere affecting vision, something I was really interested in around the time of Storm Sequence. I was thinking about this tradition of Romantic landscape, but I wanted to make it personal

   同义替换：「adopts a subjective approach」↔「own individualism」，「depicting」↔「acknowledgment」

9. 35 What was the reason for Soriano including Aboriginal art in the exhibition?
   • It is not well known in London art circles.
   • Aboriginal landscape painting influenced Australian settlers.
   • It is part of the Australian art tradition and not independent of it.
   • Modem Aboriginal painting deals with changes to the landscape.

   答案：It is part of the Australian art tradition and not independent of it.

   原文定位：I felt it was most authentic that it was seen as part of Australian art history, rather than a separate area with a world of its own

   同义替换：「It is part of the Australian art tradition」↔「seen as part of Australian art history」，「not independent of it」↔「rather than a separate area with a world of its own」

10. 36 By referring to China, Mendelssohn is making the point that
    • having an exhibition in London is not as important as it used to be.
    • young artists in Britain are not interested in Australian art.
    • art from Shanghai is more important than Australian art.
    • New York is still a preferred destination for young artists.

    答案：having an exhibition in London is not as important as it used to be.

    原文定位：London is increasingly less important to today's generation of artists, and this somewhat weakens the ceremony surrounding the exhibition in London

    同义替换：「having an exhibition in London」↔「the exhibition in London」，「not as important as it used to be」↔「is increasingly less important」
