[B] people stopped every kind of spending and stayed away from galleries
[C] art collection as a fashion had lost its appeal to a great extent
[D] works of art in general had gone out of fashion so they were not worth buying
正确答案:A
作者说“任何形式的消费都显得非常不合时宜”(第三段第一至二行)是在暗______
[A]收藏家们不再积极参与艺术品市场的拍卖
[B]人们停止了所有种类的消费并且远离画廊
[C]在很大程度上作为时尚的艺术收藏已经失去了吸引力
[D]通常意义的艺术作品已经落伍因此不再值得购买
答案解析:[A]语义理解题文章第三段第一句“IntheweeksandmonthsthatNllowedMr.Hirst’Ssalespendingofanysortbecamedeeplyunfashionable.”提到“在Hirst先生的作品出售之后的数周乃至数月里任何形式的消费都显得非常不合时宜”紧接着第二句作者给出了进一步解释“…thatmeantcollectorsstayedawayfromgalleriesandsalerooms.”表示“这意味着收藏家远离了画廊和销售店”很显然这指的是收藏家不再花钱购买艺术品即他们不再积极参与艺术品市场的拍卖了所以[A]为正确答案[B]的说法太绝对直接排除文中也没有提到艺术品已经失去了吸引力或者不值得购买因此[C]和[D]也应排除
