27、Forexample,in1970RobertSmithsoncreatedtheSpiralJetty,madeofacollectionofstonesandmud,intheGreatSaltLake.”可知,地景艺术可以采取多种形式,罗伯特史密森在大盐湖中用泥浆和石头制造了螺旋防波堤。由此可知,他是一位非常有创造力的艺术家。7.B细节理解题。由文章的最后一句“Othersareexposedtorainandwindsothattheydevelopanddecayovertime,whichispartoftheattractivenessintheeyesoftheartists.
28、”可知,地景艺术会随着时间的推移而发展和衰败,故B项正确。8.D主旨大意题。由全文可知,本文的主题句是第一段的第一句“LandArt,sometimesreferredtoasEarthArtorEarthworks,isaformofartwhichinvolvesusingphysicallandscapestocreateart,takingartoutofthemuseumandintotheoutsideworld.”结合下文内容可知,本文主要介绍了地景艺术,故D项正确。.【解题导语】本文为说明文,主要介绍了几个已经缺失的社会礼仪。1.D根据空前一句“Etiquette,orgood
