Why People Collect Art
Many people through history have gone to great lengths to collect art. But what motivates these collectors
One popular explanation for collecting is that they can have financial gain. Some resell works, earning enormous profit. ①_________ Immorally, some "collectors" buy art as a form of money laundering (洗钱), since it is far easier to move art than cash between countries without examination.
②_________ For them, art is important for other reasons. The best way to understand the underlying drive of art collecting is as a means to create and strengthen social bonds, and as a way for collectors to communicate within these new networks.
Collectors are not only interested in creating social links; they are also motivated by the messages they can send once these social networks are created. We all know art is a powerful way for the artists to express thoughts and feelings. ③_________ Displaying art can send a message about who the collector really is—at least who she sees herself as.
④_________ Through the collections, collectors convey messages not just about themselves, but about the world as a whole. For example, a kid with a shoebox of bird feathers might show others her collection not just to make friends, but also to convince them about the importance of protecting endangered species.
People collect art for various reasons. ⑤_________
A. Some gain art works in an illegal way.
B. But most collectors think little of profit.
C. Artworks preserve the qualities of their makers.
D. No doubt art collection is a hard addiction to overcome.
E. Some get large tax reductions for donating art to museums.
F. It also serves as an effective way to express collectors.
G. Other art collectors see their collections as having broader power.

③考查形容词。根据空前a different and和空后idea可知应用形容词。encouraging意为“令人鼓舞的;振奋人心的”。
④考查时态和语态。根据前后语境可知此处是指地球正在被破坏,故用现在进行时的被动语态。
⑤考查非谓语动词。此处用不定式作目的状语。
⑥考查定语从句。句意:作为回应,全世界的人一起工作来建造一个巨型机械系统,它可以把地球推得远离太阳。先行词是a giant engine system,为物,设空处引导非限制性定语从句且在从句中作主语,故填which。
