Certainly they will not help us find a better job or guide us to make more money in the future.(文学是不实用的，尤其是经典的文学作品。它们很古老，只是时间的遗物。当然，他们不会帮助我们找到更好的工作或指导我们在未来赚更多的钱)”可知，上文提到文学不实用，不会帮助我们找到更好的工作或指导我们在未来赚更多的钱。由此推知，文学似乎一点用都没有。故C选项“文学似乎一点用都没有”符合语境，故选C。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Our ancient master Confucius said that a superior man should not be a practical utensil. We read not to make money but to be a better person.(我们古代的孔子说过，君子不应是实用的器具。我们读书不是为了赚钱，而是为了成为一个更好的人)”可知，上文提到阅读是为了成为更好的人，本句为本段最后一句，且后文陈述了阅读文学的两个目的，由此推知，空处指出阅读文学有几个目的。故D选项“阅读文学作品有几个目的”符合语境，故选D。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章开篇提出很多人认为艺术创作的工作很简单，但作者认为这些外行人士不懂艺术创作的艰难之处，并从艺术创作的灵感、资源、时间等方面论述艺术创作工作的不易，最后总结出艺术创作本身就是一件艺术，需要耐心、时间、空间。
【16题详解】
上文“I’m a student at the College of Visual and Performing Arts where we create all kinds of art every day.(我是一名视觉与表演艺术学院的学生，每天都在创作各种各样的艺术作品)”，下文“But I don’t think those people truly know the difficulties and struggles in the process of making art.(但是我认为那些人并不是真正了解艺术创作过程中的艰辛。)”，说明中间设空处需要填一个意思与其相反相对的表达。A项“Outsiders think our jobs easy.(外人认为我们的工作很容易。)”恰好与之对应，下文的those people指代A项中的Outsiders， 下文的difficult也与A项中的easy对应。故选A项。
【17题详解】
上文“First of all, we need to be inspired. You may think that’s easy. In fact, anything can serve as a concept of a work of art.(首先，我们需要灵感。你可能认为这很容易。事实上，任何东西都可以作为艺术作品的概念。)”提到了艺术创作需要灵感，而任何东西都可以作为艺术作品的概念，这是容易的部分。而下文“Sometimes we will need people, volunteers, bodies to do so and finding willing people to work is hard.(有时我们需要人、志愿者、人模来做这些，而找到愿意做这些工作的人很难。)”提到很难找到愿意做这些工作的人，属于艺术创作工作中难的部分。因此中间需要有过度，E项“The hard part comes when we put our ideas into reality.(我们要把想法变为实际时，困难就来了。)”恰好能把上下文衔接起来。故选E项。
【18题详解】
本题设空处位于段首，根据下文“We need a space to be able to be creative and that can be tricky to acquire. Sometimes we need art supplies or certain equipment and costumes and that can cost money. Even if we do acquire what we need, visions change and mistakes happen so we might not end up using the resources.(我们需要一个能够发挥创造力的空间，而这很难获得。有时我们需要一些艺术用品或某些设备和服装，这需要花钱。即使我们获得了我们需要的东西，我们的想法会发生变化，错误也会随之出现，所以我们可能最终不会使用这些资源。)”可知，整段内容都在讲艺术创作需要用到的资源，故段首句需要含括整段内容。结合选项可知，D项“Resources are also a huge factor in making art.(资源也是艺术创作的一个重要因素。)”一方面能概括整段内容，另一方面also与第二段的first of all对应。故选D项。
【19题详解】
上文“The process can take weeks, months, and even years to be fully realized. Once completed, we need to share it and find an audience and provide an environment to display our work.(这个过程可能需要几周、几个月、甚至几年的时间才能完全实现。一旦完成，我们需要分享它，找个观众，并提供一个环境来展示我们的作品。)”提到了作品完成后会做的事情；下文“What if nobody likes what we created What if our vision isn’t what we thought though completed (如果没有人喜欢我们创造的东西怎么办？如果我们的想法并不如我们所想的那样完成了呢？)”是对完成作品后可能出现问题的假设，且都是一些消极的想法，F项“And the negative thoughts love to overpower our minds.(我们的大脑里总是充斥着各种消极的想法。)”恰好与下文的消极设问对应。故选F项。
【20题详解】
上文“Creating art is an art in itself. It is really not as easy as many people think.(艺术创作本身就是一种艺术。这真的不像许多人想的那么容易。)”总结性地提到了艺术创作并不是那么容易的；下文“It’s how we express ourselves and how we communicate with the rest of the world.(它是我们表达自我的方式，也是我们与世界交流的方式。)”总结了艺术创作对从事艺术的人的意义，故中间同样需要一句总结性的话语，表明艺术创作的不易。G项“It takes time, patience and space when things don’t go as expected.(当事情不像预期那样发展时，需要时间、耐心和空间。)”恰好总结了前面几段的内容，符合文意。故选G项。
