易错题解析：
Paragraph 6: Photography did indeed make certain kinds of painting obsolete—the daguerreotype virtually did away with the portrait miniature. It also made the whole business of making and owning images democratic. Portraiture, once a luxury for the privileged few, was suddenly well within the reach of many more people.
6. What point does the author make in paragraph 6?
O Paintings became less expensive because of competition with photography.
O Photography, unlike painting, was a type of portraiture that even ordinary people could afford.
O Every style of painting was influenced by the invention of photography.
O The daguerreotype was more popular than the calotype.
题型：事实信息题。答案是(B)
解析：It also made the whole business of making and owning images democratic. Portraiture, once a luxury for the privileged few, was suddenly well within the reach of many more people.(它还使拍照和拥有属于自己的相片这件事变得平民化。肖像这个一度只是少数的贵族的奢侈品，突然就变成了很多人触手可及的事物。)也就是说以前绘画被认为是一种奢侈的东西，只有富人可以享有的东西，现在由于摄影的发展，普通人都可以支付的起。所以正确选项是B。
易错选项：(A)。
Paragraph 8: The rapid technical development of photography—the introduction of lighter and simpler equipment, and of new emulsions that coated photographic plates, film, and paper and enabled images to be made at much faster speeds—had some unanticipated consequences. Scientific experiments made by photographers such as Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904) and Etienne-Jules Marey (1830-1904) demonstrated that the movements of both humans and animals differed widely from the way they had been traditionally represented in art. Artists, often reluctantly, were forced to accept the evidence provided by the camera. The new candid photography—unposed pictures that were made when the subjects were unaware that their pictures were being taken—confirmed these scientific results, and at the same time, thanks to the radical cropping (trimming) of images that the camera often imposed, suggested new compositional formats. The accidental effects obtained by candid photographers were soon being copied by artists such as the French painter Degas.
12.It can be inferred from paragraph 8 that one effect that photography had on painting was that it
O provided painters with new insights into how humans and animals actually move
O showed that representing movement could be as interesting as portrait art
O increased the appeal of painted portraiture among the wealthy
O influenced artists to improve techniques for painting faster
题型：推论题。答案是(A)
解析：从第八段中的“Scientific experiments made by photographers such as Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904) and Etienne-Jules Marey (1830-1904) demonstrated that the movements of both humans and animals differed widely from the way they had been traditionally represented in art.(摄影师，例如爱德华德•麦布里奇(1830-1904)及艾蒂安-朱尔•马雷(1830-1904)进行的科学实验证明人类和动物的运动与我们通常在艺术品中表现的有巨大差异。)”可以推断出人和动物的运动和之前描述的不一样，即A选项，provided painters with new insights into how humans and animals actually move。
