24.C可义猜测题。根据第一段“the teacher emphasized perfectly replicating other works and wanted everyone todraw what was shown"以及后文“it seemed my circles and lines could never be as precise as the original images"可知,老师要求大家画出所展示的内容,且作者觉得自己的线条不如原作精准,山此可推测“心plicating”意为“复制,再现”。故选C。25.D推理判断道。根据第二段中“I often heard the teacher tell senior students that art was a competition judgedmerely by technical mastery,and she also kept reminding us that someone would always be better."可知,这位关术老帅认为艺术是一场仅由技术水平评判的竞争,反复强调技术的重要性。所以D项(艺术成就依赖熟练的方法)符合老师对技术的重视,故选D。26D细节理解题。根据第三段中“Gradually,the class felt like a hopeless race,exhausting my enthusiasmcompletely,Two months later,I asked my mom to take me out of the art elass."可知,美术课的竞争氛围让作者彻底耗尽了对艺术的热情,这是退出关术班的根本原因。放选D。
