三、考题对应考点
12.Professor
OK, last time we were talking about government support for the arts. Who can sum up some of the main points? Frank?开头原则的直入主题式，直接交代主旨，所以选择B
13.But then when the United States became involved in the Second World War,
unemployment was down and it seems that these programs weren‟t really necessary any
longer. well any real government involvement in the arts again until the early 1960s, when
President Kennedy and other politicians started to push for major funding to support and
promote the arts.转折原则，But后面的内容是重点，unemployment was down失业率下降，push for major funding to support and promote the arts.扩大了艺术被接受的范围，所以选择BD
14.对应原文中的“Right. But then when the United States became involved in the Second
World War, unemployment was down and it seems that these programs weren‟t really
necessary any longer. So, moving on, we don't actually see any govern…well any real
government involvement in the arts again until the early 1960s, when President Kennedy
and other politicians started to push for major funding to support and promote the arts. It
was felt by a number of politicians that …well that the government had a responsibility to
support the arts as sort of… oh, what can we say?...the the soul…or spirit of the country.
The idea was that there be a federal subsidy…um…uh…financial assistance to artists and
artistic or cultural institutions. And for just those reasons, in 1965, the National Endowment
for the Arts was created. So it was through the NEA, the National Endowment for the Arts,
um…that the arts would develop, would be promoted throughout the nation. And then
individual states throughout the country started to establish their own state arts councils to
help support the arts. There was kind of uh…cultural explosion. And by the mid-1970s, by
1974 I think, all fifty states had their own arts agencies, their own state arts councils that
work with the federal government with corporations, artists”综合分析，得出答案：2.The Federal Art Project helped reduce unemployment. 3. The National Endowment for the Arts was established. 4. The federal budget supporting the arts was reduced by half
15.when President Kennedy and other politicians started to push for major
funding to support and promote the arts. The Kennedy Centre in Washington D.C. , you may
uh…maybe you‟ve been there, or Lincoln Centre in New York. Both of these were built with
substantial financial support from corporations. And the Kennedy and Lincoln center‟s aren‟t
the only examples.举例原则，要明白例子要证明的观点，Pro 提及Kennedy Center and Lincoln Center 就是为了举例证明institutions 在与政府合作支持艺术发展的过程中收益。因此选A。
16.In fact, with artists in particular, you have lots of artists who support and who have benefited
from this agency, although it seems that just as many artists suppose a government agency
being involved in the arts, for many different reasons, reasons like they don‟t want the
government to control what they create.
强调原则，In fact起强调作用，从这里可以看出艺术家对于政府出资支持艺术的看法也就是they don‟t want the government to control what they create.不想被控制，与C 选项符合。
17.Frank : Yeah. But didn‟t the government end up wasting a lot of money for art that wasn‟t even
very good?
Professor : Uh…some people might say that. But wasn‟t the primary objective of the Federal
Art Project to provide jobs?
Frank : That‟s true. I mean…it did provide jobs for thousands of unemployed artists.
这是问答原则，从这组问答中体现出 government project 提供了工作机会且推广了艺术，可以说是物尽其用，因此是The government project was not a waste of money. 所以选择D
听力文本结构框架：
这个讲座主要讲的是政府支持艺术的发展史，先说二十世纪三十年代设立给无业的艺术家提供了工作,接着说到二战，然后二十世纪六十年代政府参与到艺术当中去，到1974年公司也参与到艺术当中去。政府对艺术的有人支持有人反对。
