【分析】本文是一篇说明文，分析了人们收藏艺术品的原因。16．上文说关于收藏，一个普遍的解释是他们可以获得经济利益，一些人转售收藏品以赚取巨额利润，下文又说游戏收藏者购买艺术品进行洗钱，此处说的还是利用艺术品获得经济利益的做法，故E项（有些人因为向博物馆捐赠艺术品而获得了大幅减税）符合语境。17．根据本空后的“Forthem,artisimportantforotherreasons.”可知，对他们来说，艺术之所以重要还有其他原因，此处说的是一些人收藏艺术品不是看重经济利益，故B项（但是，大多数收藏者很少考虑利润）符合语境。18．根据本空前的“Weallknowartisapowerfulwayfortheartisttoexpressthoughtsandfeelings.”可知，我们都知道艺术是艺术家表达想法和情感的有力方式，此处承接上文，故F项（它也是表达收藏者的一种有效方式）符合语境。19．根据本空后的“Throughthecollections,collectorsconveymessagesnotjustaboutthemselves,butabouttheworldasawhole.”可知，一般来说，通过收藏品，收藏者不仅传递关于他们自己的信息，还传递关于世界的信息，此处是说收藏者认为自己的收藏品有重要意义，故G项（其他艺术收藏者认为自己的收藏品有更广泛的影响力）符合语境。20．根据本空前的“Peoplecollectartforvariousreasons.”可知，人们收藏艺术品有各种各样的原因，此处总结全文，故D项（毫无疑问，艺术收藏是很难戒掉的瘾）符合语境。【点睛】在七选五的解题过程中，上下文和选项里出现的一些关联词往往是重要线索，例如本篇第3题，根据本空前的“Weallknowartisapowerfulwayfortheartisttoexpressthoughtsandfeelings.”可知，我们都知道艺术是表达想法和情感的有力方式，F项中的also是重要提示，而且express一词在上文中也出现过，F项（它也是表达收藏者的一种有效方式）正好承接上文。三、阅读理解19.EachmorningGrandpawasupearlysittingatthekitchentable,readinghisbook.Hisgrandsonwantedtobejustlikehimandtriedtocopyhimineverywayhecould.Onedaythegrandsonasked,“Grandpa,Itrytoreadthebookjustlikeyou,butIdon’tunderstandit,andIforgetwhatIunderstandassoonasIclosethebook.Whatgooddoesreadingthebookdo?”Thegrandpaquietlyturnedfromputtingcoalinthestove（炉子）andreplied,“Takethiscoalbasketdowntotheriverandbringmebackabasketofwater.”Theboydidashewastold,butallthewaterleaked（漏水）outbeforehegotbacktothehouse.Thegrandpalaughedandsaid,“You’llhavetomovealittlefasternexttime,”andsenthimbacktotheriverwiththebaskettotryagain.Thistimetheboyranfaster,butagainthebasketwasemptybeforehereturned.Outofbreath,hetoldhisgrandpathatitwasimpossibletocarrywaterinabasket,sohewenttogetabucketinstead.Thegrandpasaid,“Idon’twantabucketofwater;Iwantabasketofwater.You’rejustnottryinghardenough.”Theboyagaindippedthebasketintotheriverandranhard,butwhenhereachedhisgrandpathebasketwasemptyagain.Outofbreath,hesaid,“Grandpa,it’suseless!”“So,youthinkitisuseless?”thegrandpasaid,“Lookatthebasket.”Theboylookedatthe
