【单选题】The questions in this group are based on the content of a passage.After reading the passage, choose the best answer to each question.Answer all questions following the passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in the passage.
One of the biggest questions facing the art world today is the dilemma over the repatriation of cultural treasures.Although the subject has not been widely noted by the general public, in recent decades museums and art dealers have repeatedly faced off against the representatives of nations and ethnic groups whose cultural legacies have been robbed by the rapacious collecting of these so-called art experts.Advocates of repatriation have argued that cultural treasures should be returned to their nations of origin, both because of basic fairness and because the artwork and cultural artifacts in question are best understood within their local context.
Several prominent museums, most notably theBritish Museum in London and the Louvre in Paris, have defended themselves on the grounds that they can better protect and preserve these cultural treasures than can the developing nations and impoverished ethnic groups that frequently seek their return. They further argue that more people can see the treasures if they are proudly displayed in a major museum, as opposed to some poorly funded national museum in a backwater country; evidently, the quantity of viewers is more important than the relevance of the art and artifacts to the viewer.
The arguments of the museum curators fall apart in an instance such as theElgin Marbles. These majestic marble sculptures, which once graced the Parthenon on theAcropolis inAthens, were stolen by LordElgin in the nineteenth century and given to theBritish Museum, which holds them to this day. The people ofAthens have built a beautiful, modern museum on theAcropolis to display theElgin Marbles and other treasures from the Greek cultural heritage, so there can be no valid argument that the Greeks are unable to house the sculptures properly. Furthermore, more people visit theAcropolis every day than visit theBritish Museum.
Of the following, the most appropriate title for the passage above would be:
A、TheElgin Marbles: Timeless Symbols of the Glory That Was Greece
B、The Role of Great Museums in the Preservation ofCulturalArtifacts
C、Repatriation ofCultural Treasures: TheBritish Museum’sDirty Little Secret
D、The Value ofCultural Treasures inDefining National Identity
E、A、CuriousCurator: LordElgin and the Rise of theBritish Museum

James Joyce revolutionized the novel, the short story, and modern literature as we know it. He was born inDublin, the first of 10 children in aCatholic family. His father was a civil servant whose poor financial judgment left the family impoverished for much of Joyce’s youth. Young James attendedDublin’s fine Jesuit schools, which gave him a firm grounding in theology and classical languages--subjects that appeared repeatedly in his later work. The story of his early life and his intellectual rebellion againstCatholicism and Irish nationalism are told in the largely autobiographical novelA、Portrait of theArtist as a Young Man.
In 1902, at the age of 20, Joyce leftDublin to spend the rest of his life in Paris, Trieste, Rome, and Zurich, with only occasional visits back home.Despite this self-imposed exile,Dublin was the setting for most of his writings.Dubliners (1914), Joyce’s most accessible work, is a collection of short stories describing the paralyzing social mores of middle-classCatholic life. "TheDead," the final story in the collection, is frequently listed as one of the finest short stories ever written.
Joyce’s next book, Ulysses, took seven years to write; once he finished writing it, he almost couldn’t find anyone to publish it. Upon the novel’s publication, both Ireland and the United States immediately banned it as obscene.Despite these obstacles, Ulysses has come to be generally recognized as the greatest twentieth-century novel written inEnglish. The novel was revolutionary in many ways. The structure was unique: Joyce recreated one rill day in the life of his protagonist, LeopoldBloom, and modeled the actions of the story on those of Ulysses in the Odyssey. In recountingBloom’s day, Joyce mentions everything that happens toBloom--including thoughts, bodily functions, and sexual acts--providing a level of physical actuality that had never before been achieved in literature. To provide a psychological insight comparable to the physical detail, Joyce employed a then-revolutionary technique called stream of consciousness, in which the protagonist’s thoughts are laid bare to the reader.
From 1922 until 1939, joyce worked on a vast, experimental novel that eventually became known as Finnegan’s Wake. The novel, which recounts "the history of the world" through a family’s dreams, employs its own "night language" of puns, foreign words, and literary allusions. It has no clear chronology or plot, and it begins and ends on incomplete sentences that flow into each other. Many of Joyce’s supporters thought he was wasting his time on the project, although the playwright SamuelBeckett, who later won the Nobel Prize for Literature, helped Joyce compile the final text when his eyesight was failing. Today, Finnegan’s Wake is viewed as Joyce’s most obscure and possibly most
