Answer 1

答案：1．B;2．A;3．C;4．C;5．B;6．D;7．B;8．A;9．D;10．C;
解析：

(1)	第一句讲到“think of each of the arts as a separate area”，第二句又提到“a warm relationship between the various areas，”两个句子是转折关系。
(2)	这一句是对上一句的relationship举的例子，所以用for example。
(3)	第二句提到warm relationship，所以这里音乐和绘画的联系紧密。
(4)	上一句讲到音乐家从画家那里得到灵感，所以这里对的音乐作品是对视觉艺术的回应。
(5)	这句话中“their friendship had not been a particularly long-lasting one”和shocked是转折关系，所以这里用though。
(6)	unexpected death“意外的死亡”。
(7)	relieve one’s grief“减轻悲痛”。
(8)	这句话的意思是“这是首曲子不是对画的阐述，而是一种象征”。
(9)	as引导时间状语从句。
(10)	上一句讲到他的音乐一会儿是witty and playful，一会儿是alarming and frightening，有很大的对比。
