20.C

【詳解】通過一系列的驚人的對(duì)比，Mussorgsky 成功地再現(xiàn)了畫家及其作品的精髓。樂曲家，只能通過音樂來(lái)表現(xiàn)，與文章的第一段呼應(yīng)，說明兩者之間的聯(lián)系和相同之處。

【專家備考建議】一份考卷里用兩篇完型填空是上海高考題的特有的色彩，第一篇與日常生活接近，詞匯量需求較小，而第二篇需要有大量的詞匯來(lái)支持。較大的詞匯量不僅能幫助學(xué)生讀懂、理解短文，也能幫助學(xué)生解題。所以高三學(xué)生一定要增加自己的詞匯量。另外，解題方法在完型填空解題中也非常重要。排除法是解完形填空和閱讀理解的一個(gè)很好的辦法。建議考生在平時(shí)的訓(xùn)練中多注意解題思路的培養(yǎng)。
