D Throughout the history of the arts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists．No matter what objects they select, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change---to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before．
Landscape (風景) is another unchanging element of art．It can be found from ancient times through the17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists．In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists, continued this practice．Leslie sought out the same place where ThomasCole, a romanticist, had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before．Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature, Leslie paints what he actually sees．In his paintings, there is no particular change in emotion, and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background．He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom．
Besides, all art begs the age-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another．The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient forests．To sum up, understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods．
Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant．Past or present, Eastern or Western, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience．Many and different are the faces ofart, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings．
1.The underlined word “poetry” most probably means ________ ．
A．a(chǎn)n object for artistic creation
B．a(chǎn)n unusual quality
C．a(chǎn) collection of poems
D．a(chǎn) natural scene
2.Leslie’s paintings are extraordinary because ___________．
A．they draw attention to common things in life
B．they look like works by 19th-century painters
C．they are close in style to works in ancient times
D．they depend heavily on color photography
3.What is the author’s opinion of artistic reality?
A．It does not have a long-lasting standard
B．It will not be found in future works of art．
C．It is expressed in a fixed artistic form．
D．It is lacking in modern works of art．
4.Which of the following is the main topic of the passage?
A．History of the arts．
B．Use of modern technology in the arts．
C．Basic questions of the arts．
D．New developments in the arts．
