解析：细节题。原文谈到，“迫于经济危机的压力，许多原先住在大城市里的艺术家纷纷离开，回到乡下小镇”(Well，many artists who had been living in big cities were forced by the economic crisis to leave those big cities and move back to their small towns in rural America．)，这与选项C(许多艺术家搬离了大城市)的意思不谋而合。因此，答案为C。而选项A(许多艺术家对艺术的价值丧失了信心)、B(许多艺术家被迫改行)、D(许多美国艺术家搬到了其他国家)均与原文不符。
2.(C)
A. People working in a large factory.
B. People walking on crowded city streets.
C. An everyday activity in a small town.
D. A well-known historical event.
解析：细节题。原文提到，这些艺术家的创作源于小镇或乡村的日常生活(They created things from everyday life in small towns or farming areas．)，这与C的意思是一样的。因此，答案为C。而A(在大工厂里上班的人)、B(在拥挤的城市街道上行走的人)、D(著名的历史事件)均与题目的意思不符。
3.(B)
A. Because the paintings sold very well.
B. Because it helped strengthen people’s faith in their country.
C. Because people liked to live in the country at that time.
D. Because it helped recover the economy.
解析：因果关系题。原文提到，这种风格之所以流行，部分是因为当时的经济状况。当时，大萧条让很多人开始怀疑社会。而该流派的画作歌颂的是美国的价值观念，画作中的场景很容易让人们产生共鸣。因此，该运动帮助人们重拾对国家的信心。(And this style became very popular, in part because of the economic conditions of the time．You see，the Depression had caused many Americans to begin to doubt their society．But regionalist artists painted scenes that glorified American values，scenes that many Americans could easily identify with．So the movement helped strengthen people’s faith in their country, faith that had weakened as the result of the Depression．)因此，答案是B。而选项A(他们的画作很畅销)、C(那时，人们喜欢住在乡下)、D(有助于经济复苏)都与主题无关。
4.(D)
A. The populations of small towns increased rapidly.
B. Art critics in cities began to take notice of Regionalism.
C. Some regionalist painters began a new art movement.
