简单地说,就是你家里的这种平常的肖像画是难登大雅之堂的,但是因为它所使用的精湛技艺使得它在博物馆中出现是无可厚非的.
1.关键字：“since”表同义因果,“but”表转折
2.Blank1中应该填入一个形容词,描述人们对于大量肖像画出现在艺术博物馆中这一事实的一些看法；而blank2中应该填入一个动词,表现肖像画中的艺术技巧对于它们出现在艺术博物馆中的事实的影响.
3.在第一句中,后半句中出现了since,表示因果关系,因而应该选取前后半句中同义关系的词语,而后半句给出了人们对于肖像画出现在艺术博物馆中的看法的原因,即“它们原本是被用来为家族相册添光彩用的,而不是为了展现艺术而出现的”,因此说,在人们看来,肖像画出现在博物馆中是属于出现在了不该出现的地方,因此说选取一个表达这种“出现在了不该有的地方”色彩的词语最合适,即应该选取(A)选项；
4.对于第二句,由于句首的“but”的作用,因而这整个一句话应该体现一种与前一句话截然相反的意思,前面说肖像画不应该在艺术博物馆中出现,那第二句话应该体现“肖像画可以出现在艺术馆中”的作用.
5.
[1].(A) surprising：（令人惊讶的）to strike with wonder or amazement especially because unexpected
[2].(B) understandable：（可以理解的）have the power of comprehension
[3].(C) irrelevant：（不相关的）not relevant :INAPPLICABLE
[4].(D) challenges：（质疑）to dispute especially as being unjust,invalid,or outmoded
[5].(E) justifies：（表明或证明（某人[某事]）是正当的、有理的或公正的）to show to have had a sufficient legal reason
[6].(F) changes：（改变）to make different in some particular :ALTER

答案是正确的: 因为个人画像( Portrait paintings)比较属於家族的( Family photograph album)而艺术博物馆( art museum)比较属於公众的, 所以在艺术博物馆挂个人画像会感到惊奇( surprising), 但如绘艺(artistic skill) 高超则应是合理( justify)的.
