问题     Aesthetic thought of a distinctively modern art emerged during the 18th century. The western philosophers and critics of this time devoted much attention to such matters【C1】______natural beauty, the sublime, and representation—a trend reflecting the central position they had given to the philosophy of nature. 【C2】______ that time, however, the philosophy of art has become ever more【C3】______and has begun to【C4】______ the philosophy of nature.
    Various issues【C5】______to the philosophy of art have had a(n)【C6】______impact【C7】______ the orientation of the 20th-century aesthetics. 【C8】______among these are problems relating to the theory of art as form and【C9】______the distinction between representation and expression. Still another far-reaching question has to do with the value of art. Two【C10】______theoretical positions have taken on this issue: one holds that art and its appreciation are a means to some recognized moral good,【C11】______the other maintains that art is intrinsically valuable and is an end in itself. Underlying this whole issue is the concept of taste, one of the basic concerns of aesthetics. In recent years there has also been an increasing【C12】______ with art as the prime object of critical judgment. Corresponding to the trend in contemporary aesthetic thought, 【C13】______ have followed either of the two approaches. In one, criticism is【C14】______to the analysis and interpretation of the work of art. 【C15】______, it is devoted to articulating the response to the aesthetic object and to【C16】______a particular way of perceiving it.
    Over the years, aesthetics has developed into a broad field of knowledge and inquiry. The 【C17】______ of contemporary aesthetics include such problems as the nature of style and its aesthetic significance; the relation of aesthetic judgment to culture; the【C18】______of a history of art; the【C19】______of Freudian psychology and other forms of psychological study to criticism; and the place of aesthetic judgment in 【C20】______reasoning in the conduct of everyday affairs.
【C5】
选项 A、chief
B、central
C、main
D、prime
答案B
解析 形容词辨析题。[B]central“核心的，中心的”，central to sth.表示“……的中心、核心”，因此该项正确。[A]chief“主要的，首要的”，一般用作前置定语，例如：a chief engineer，且不能与介词to搭配，故排除；[C]main“主要的”也一般用作前置定语，不与介词to搭配，故排除；同理排除[D]prime“主要的，重要的”。
