问题 Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want to say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand—he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him.
What visual artists, like painters, want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist.
Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose (歇息,静止)；their choices indicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects.
If one painter chooses to paint a broken leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something—all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us. [br] It is much more difficult to understand a painting than a novel because______.

选项 A、a painter only provides interesting patterns
B、a painter is not good at expressing himself
C、a painter is less experienced or educated than a writer
D、a painter uses shapes and colors instead of words

答案 D

解析本题是一道具体细节题。问理解一幅画比理解一篇小说要难上很多的原因是什么。利用查阅式阅读法，我们发现文章第二段指出，要了解像画家这样的视觉艺术家想给人的启示并不难，难的是怎样来解释这种启示，因为画家们是通过各种形象及颜色而并非使用语言来传达他们的体验的。因此，我们可以推断出小说易懂是因为它：是通过语言表达的，而绘画是运用形象和颜色表现的。所以，本题的正确答案应是D。
