题目信息

Although elementary school children have traditionally received considerable instruction in creating visual art, there has been no such instruction in music. Consequently, in contrast to the situation for visual art, most people as adults do not recognize the artistic intentions of composers. To remedy this situation, a few educators now recommend teaching elementary school students to compose music.

Which of the following, if true, is the strongest basis for arguing that implementation of the recommendation will not lead to the desired result?

A:Few elementary school students are likely to create superior compositions.

B:Traditional education facilitates the appreciation of visual art, but not the recognition of the artistic intentions of artists.

C:More people report that they enjoy music than report that they enjoy visual art.

D:Some composers have had little formal instruction in composition.

E:The recommendation is based on the results of a controlled longitudinal study conducted in three schools within a single city.

正确答案： B:Traditional education facilitates the appreciation of visual art, but not the recognition of the artistic intentions of artists.

答案B
题目类型：削弱题
题目大意：尽管小学生在视觉艺术方面有大量的教学，但在音乐方面却没有这样的教学。因此，与视觉艺术的情况相反，大多数人不认识作曲家的艺术意图。为了解决这种情况，一些教育者现在建议教小学生作曲。
核心逻辑：区分出哪些选项可以给“音乐教学-识别作曲家意图“的核心逻辑链带来影响，并区分排除无关选项。
A.很少有小学生会创造出出色的作品。该改革的目的并不熟让学生创造出色作品。
B.传统教育促进对视觉艺术的欣赏，而不是对艺术家的艺术意图的认可。这说明现有的视觉教育，并不能带来教育家们期望的结果；而对照视觉教育的音乐教育，也不对带来同样的结果，因此正确。
C.喜欢音乐和了解作曲家意图没有必然关系
D.作曲家是否有正式的作曲指导，和是否被改革并没有相关的联系
并不能论证改革能带来相关结果。
