But it is not only in technology and commerce that glass has widened its horizons. The use of glass as art, a tradition going back at least to Roman times, is also booming. Nearly everywhere, it seems, men and women are blowing glass and creating works of art. I didnt sell a piece of glass until 1975, Dale Chihuly said, smiling, for the 18 years since the end of the dry spell, he has become one of the most financially successful artists of the 20th century. He now has a new commissiona glass sculpture for the headquarters building of a pizza companyfor which his fee is half a million dollars.
解题:首先读段落的第一、二句话,考生们会发现第一句实际为一个强调句式,强调not only in technology and commerce。我么都知道not onlybut also的句式重点要讲的是but also后面的内容而非not only后的内容,因此运用无词阅读法,考生就可以不用关注第一句话的大意了,直接进入第二句话,关注but also的内容;第二句话中,也运用无词阅读法,只看主句,考生即可以抓出大意为玻璃作为艺术的应用也在兴盛第三句中的blowing glass,可能考生们陌生,但其并列内容creating works of art认识即可,第三句话大意为男性女性都在创造艺术品第四句和第五句我们略读一下即可知道,作者在运用艺术家Dale Chihuly的例子解释说明玻璃在艺术方面应用的兴盛。因此最终我们可以断定此段中第三、四、五句内容是解释说明第一、二句内容的。段落大意根据第一、二句归纳,答案为 i Growth in the market for glass crafts。
