Tuning the World

For most of musical history, there was no such thing as a single correct pitch. The note we call 'A' might be tuned noticeably higher in one town than in the next, and an instrument built for a church in northern Europe could sound out of tune the moment it was carried south. Itinerant musicians simply adjusted as best they could. As long as the players in any one place agreed among themselves, the absence of a universal standard ( 23 ). …(続く)

(23)空所(23)に入れるのに最も適切なものを選ぶ問題です。

1could never be tolerated at all2raised few practical difficulties3ruined almost every performance4baffled even the finest players

解説:空所前は「各地の奏者が互いに合わせている限り」という条件、直後の段落が逆接的に『The trouble began as music became more international(問題は音楽が国際化して初めて生じた)』と続く。ゆえに当時は統一基準がなくとも〈ほとんど実害がなかった〉= raised few practical difficulties。2「決して容認されえない」・3「ほぼ全ての演奏を台無しにした」は次段落の『問題は後に生じた』と矛盾、4「名手すら当惑させた」も同様に時系列が合わない。

The Camera and the Canvas

When the first practical photographic processes were unveiled in the late 1830s, some painters greeted the news with consternation. For centuries, one of the central tasks of the visual artist had been to record the visible world with painstaking fidelity—to capture a likeness, document an event, or preserve the features of the wealthy and powerful. Now a machine could do this in minutes, with a precision that no human hand, however practised a virtuoso, could match, and at a fraction of the cost. A celebrated French painter is said to have declared that, from that day on, painting was dead. …(続く)

No.29What does the passage say happened to portrait painting after photography appeared?

1Every portrait painter quickly abandoned the profession altogether.2Photographers refused to make portraits of the wealthy and powerful.3The market for simple, inexpensive likenesses moved largely to the camera.4Painted portraits became far more detailed than they had ever been.

解説:第2段落「the modest likeness, in particular, migrated almost entirely to the camera(ささやかな肖像はほぼ完全にカメラへ移った)」の強いパラフレーズが2。1は『画家は廃業した』と全体を誇張(本文はむしろ画家が別の道で生き残ったとする)で誤り、3は本文に記述がなく逆、4は『写真的な細密描写を捨てた』という後段と矛盾。
