Manyexpatriatewritersoften______theirsocializedbehaviorwiththedominantcultureoftheirown.

問題1選項

A.collaborated

B.attached

C.tied

D.identified

【答案】D

【解析】考查動詞辨析。A項collaborate“合作，勾結(jié)，通敵”，B項attach“使依附，貼上”，C項tie“（用線、繩等）系，系牢，打結(jié)”，D項identify“確定，鑒定，識別”。根據(jù)句子可知，空格處應(yīng)該填入一個動詞并和介詞with搭配使用，由關(guān)鍵詞socializedbehavior“社會化行為”和thedominantcultureoftheirown“他們自己的主導(dǎo)文化”可知，identify…with…“認(rèn)為……密切相關(guān)”符合語境。句意：許多旅居國外的作家經(jīng)常將他們的社會化行為與他們自己的主導(dǎo)文化聯(lián)系起來。因此，該題選擇D項正確。

第2題:細(xì)節(jié)事實題。由文章第二段第一句中SinceDecember,whenthereportcameout,themayor,neighborhoodactivistsandvariousparent-teacherassociationshaveengagedinafiercebattleoveritsvalidity（自去年12月該報告發(fā)布以來，市長、社區(qū)積極分子和各種家長教師協(xié)會就該報告的有效性展開了激烈的討論）可知選A。

第3題:細(xì)節(jié)事實題。由文章第二段中Withallsidespresentingtheirownexpertsarmedwithconflictingscientificstudies,whomshouldparentsbelieve?（由于各方都提出了一些支持各自觀點的專家，但這些專家的科學(xué)研究是相互矛盾的，家長應(yīng)該相信誰？）以及后面的一連串提問，可知父母對這些觀點感到困惑，不知道該相信誰，因此選C。

第4題:推理判斷題。由文章最后一段中A2004reportinthejournalPediatricsexplainedthatnervousparentshavemoretofearfromfire,caraccidentsanddrowningthanfromtoxicchemicalexposure.（《兒科雜志》2004年的一份報告解釋說，神經(jīng)緊張的父母對火災(zāi)、車禍和溺水的恐懼比有毒化學(xué)暴露更多）可推測父母對日常容易遇到的事故更擔(dān)心，因此選B。

C.endured（v.）忍耐，忍受D.sustained（v.）維持（生命、生存）

【干擾項排除】A、C、D選項詞義與之不符。

【答案】第1題:C

第2題:B

第3題:A

第4題:D

第5題:C

【解析】1.題目問作者的文章主要是關(guān)注什么。根據(jù)文章第一段首句Theearliestcontroversiesabouttherelationshipbetweenphotographyandartcenteredonwhetherphotography’sfidelitytoappearancesanddependenceonamachineallowedittobeafineartasdistinctfrommerelyapracticalart.最早的關(guān)于攝影與藝術(shù)的關(guān)系的爭論主要集中在攝影對于外表的保真度和對機器的依賴是否能夠允許它成為一門藝術(shù)，有別于僅僅實用的美術(shù)。后文主要通過討論攝影是否是一門藝術(shù)這個問題，然后分析了論點雙方對于這個問題的態(tài)度。綜合分析后可知主要是分析了攝影師對待藝術(shù)的態(tài)度，C選項“揭示了嚴(yán)肅的當(dāng)代攝影師對于攝影作為藝術(shù)以及在歷史背景下的藝術(shù)態(tài)度”符合題意。A項意為“解釋了在十九世紀(jì)的爭議之后攝影是怎樣成作為美術(shù)出現(xiàn)的”；B項意為“鑒別在近期影響了被嚴(yán)肅的攝影師所采納的技術(shù)的繪畫和雕塑藝術(shù)中所用到的方式”；D項意為“定義嚴(yán)肅的當(dāng)代攝影師對他們的藝術(shù)所采取的各種方法和評估這些方法的價值”不符合，排除。

2.theconceptofartimposedbythetriumphofModernism意為“被現(xiàn)代主義的勝利所強加的藝術(shù)的概念”。A項意為“呆板的，機械的”；B項意為“矛盾的”；C項意為“表面的，膚淺的”；D項意為“引人注目的”。本句所在句子意為“重要的攝影家們不再愿意辯論攝影是或者不是一種藝術(shù)，除了聲稱他們自己的作品不再涉及藝術(shù)，表明了在多大程度上他們簡單地認(rèn)為“被現(xiàn)代主義的勝利所強加的藝術(shù)的概念是理所當(dāng)然的”：藝術(shù)越好，越顛覆藝術(shù)的傳統(tǒng)目的。根據(jù)句意可知作者所表達(dá)的內(nèi)容是‘矛盾的‘，B選項符合題意。

3.題目問作者介紹抽象表現(xiàn)主義畫家的目的。根據(jù)第三段第二句‘Forexample,thosephotographerswhosupposethat,bytakingpictures,theyaregettingawayfromthepretensionsofartasexemplifiedbypaintingremindusofthoseAbstractExpressionistpainterswhoimaginedtheyweregettingawayfromtheintellectualausterityofclassicalModernistpaintingbyconcentratingonthephysicalactofpainting.例如，那些假設(shè)的攝影師，通過拍照，他們越來越遠(yuǎn)離以繪畫藝術(shù)的自命不凡提醒我們的抽象表現(xiàn)主義畫家想象他們擺脫古典現(xiàn)代主義繪畫的知識緊縮專注于繪畫的物理行為?！芍髡咧饕窍肱e出這樣的例子，A選項“是為了舉出像嚴(yán)肅的現(xiàn)代攝影師那樣的藝術(shù)家，否認(rèn)傳統(tǒng)上公認(rèn)的現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)的目的”符合題意。

4.題目問哪一項最好地解釋了嚴(yán)肅的當(dāng)代攝影師對于攝影是否是一門藝術(shù)的反應(yīng)。根據(jù)文章最后一句Manyprofessionalsprivatelyhavebeguntoworrythatthepromotionofphotographyasanactivitysubversiveofthetraditionalpretensionsofarthasgonesofarthatthepublicwillforgetthatphotographyisadistinctiveandexaltedactivity—inshort,anart.許多專業(yè)攝影人員私下里己經(jīng)開始擔(dān)心，攝影作為藝術(shù)活動促進(jìn)顛覆傳統(tǒng)的自命不凡已經(jīng)走得太遠(yuǎn)，引起公眾忘記攝影是一種獨特的高活動總之，是一種藝術(shù)。確定D選項“攝影師認(rèn)為最好的藝術(shù)是對藝術(shù)的顛覆，就像之前定義的那樣”正確。

5.題目問作者很可能認(rèn)為嚴(yán)肅的當(dāng)代攝影是一種……。A項意為“一種正努力要被認(rèn)可為美術(shù)的當(dāng)代藝術(shù)”；B項意為“一種要求敏感性的工藝，但絕不是藝術(shù)”；C項意為“顯示了現(xiàn)代主義的傾向，試圖顛覆主流的藝術(shù)目標(biāo)的現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)”；D項意為“顯示所有的現(xiàn)代主義藝術(shù)的趨勢變得越來越正式和抽象的現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)”。根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容以及最后一段的闡述’thebettertheart,themoresubversiveitisofthetraditionalaimsofart.Manyprofessionalsprivatelyhavebeguntoworrythat...ofarthasgonesofar藝術(shù)越好，對傳統(tǒng)藝術(shù)目標(biāo)的顛覆性就越大。許多專業(yè)人士私下里開始擔(dān)心……藝術(shù)已經(jīng)走了這么遠(yuǎn)’確定C選項“顯示了現(xiàn)代主義的傾向，試圖顛覆主流的藝術(shù)目標(biāo)的現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)”正確。

8.單選題

A.eminent

B.brutal

C.vulnerable

D.adequate

【答案】C

【解析】形容詞詞義辨析。eminent杰出的;brutal殘忍的;vulnerable易受攻擊的;adequate充足的。句意：部隊處于易受攻擊的位置,完全暴露了。選項C符合句意。

9.單選題

Thenoisewasso（）thatonlythosewithexcellenthearingwereawareofit.

問題1選項

A.dim

B.quiet

C.gentle

D.faint

【答案】D

【解析】考查形容詞辨析。A選項dim“不亮的；看不清的”；B選項quiet“安靜的”；C選項gentle“溫和的；文雅的；高尚的”；D選項faint“微弱的；模糊的；不清楚的”。句意：噪音非?！灾劣谥挥芯哂辛己寐犃Φ娜瞬拍苈牭?。詞組sothat“如此……以至于……”后半句只有聽力非常出色的人才能聽到，由此可知，噪音是非常微弱的。故選D。

10.單選題

Thecopperpothasbecometarnishedaftermanyyearsofneglect.

問題1選項

A.lostitsluster

B.becomeglossy

C.beenremoved

D.beenbuffed

【答案】A

【解析】考查形容詞辨析。becometarnished表示“變得晦暗的，失去光澤的”；A項lostitsluster“失去光澤”，B項becomeglossy“變得光滑”，C項beenremoved“被移除”，D項beenbuffed“被拋光”。句意：這只銅壺多年沒管了，已經(jīng)失去了光澤。因此A項正確。

11.單選題

Icanrespectsomeonewhois（）fortheiractions,butIcannotrespectsomeonewhoisalwayspointingthefinger.

問題1選項

A.millennium

B.dominant

C.accountable

D.commercial

【答案】C

【解析】語義題。millennium一千年，千禧年；dominant占優(yōu)勢的，支配的；accountable負(fù)有責(zé)任的；commercial商業(yè)的，商務(wù)的。accountable符合要求。根據(jù)句中but一詞推測,空格出應(yīng)填與alwayspointingthefinger(總是指手畫腳)反向的詞。因此選C。

44.E

45.D

【解析】【選項釋義】

A.Veldestartsoutbylayingoutthenumbers.A.維爾德首先列出了這些數(shù)字。

B.Forthosewhohaveponderedwhatbitcoinactuallyis—currencyvs.stockvs.money—Veldehasananswer.B.對于那些一直在思考比特幣到底是貨幣、股票還是金錢的人來說，維爾德有一個答案。

C.IfthiswereEconomicMeanGirls,thisisthepartofthemoviewhereLindsay“Bitcoin”Lohangetsfriendedbythepowerful,popularcrowd.C.如果這是經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)中的《卑鄙女孩》，那么比特幣就是電影中的林賽?羅韓，受到了大家的歡迎。

D.Atthatlevelofspending,it’sfairlyobviousthatmostoftheactivityhappeninginBitcoinisnotactuallybuyingthings(asIdidinMay),butrathertrading.D.在這樣的消費水平上，很明顯，大多數(shù)用比特幣進(jìn)行的活動實際上不是購買東西，就像我在5月份做的那樣，而是交易。

E.Thankstoarecentpricesurgetoover$250,themarketcapforthenearly12millionBitcoininexistenceisnowwellover$3billion.E.由于最近比特幣價格飆升至250美元以上，現(xiàn)有的近1200萬比特幣的市值現(xiàn)在遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過30億美元。

F.ThedigitalcurrencyhasgottenanofficialnodfromtheoverseerofU.S.currencyintheformofaprimeroutoftheFederalReserveBankofChicago.F.這種數(shù)字貨幣已經(jīng)以芝加哥聯(lián)邦儲備銀行入門級的形式得到了美元監(jiān)管機構(gòu)的正式認(rèn)可。

41.由第一句“這是比特幣的重要時刻（bigmoment）”，以及第二句中的“最終認(rèn)為它是一個卓越的概念和技術(shù)成就，很可能被現(xiàn)有的金融機構(gòu)使用”，可知，比特幣的重要時刻就是被認(rèn)可，所以F項正確。

42.這一段講的是比特幣被美元監(jiān)管機構(gòu)認(rèn)可，并且被認(rèn)為是一個卓越的概念和技術(shù)成就，那么比特幣會被人們所歡迎和支持，所以C項正確。

43.根據(jù)該段后面兩句，其中提到了一些數(shù)字，如“生產(chǎn)一個比特幣需要一臺價值約3000美元的機器，每天需要消耗約1美元的電力”，而且中間三段闡述了很多關(guān)于比特幣的一些數(shù)據(jù)，所以該段第一句填入A項正確。

44.由該段最后一句“自2013年初以來，比特幣的價值已經(jīng)增長了10倍”可知，空格處可能是與比特幣的價值有關(guān)，而第一句提到“目前流通的美元有1.2萬億美元，而比特幣只有10億美元”，可推測第二句要講的是比特幣價值的上漲，所以E項正確。

45.該段第一句提到“每一分鐘平均約有30比特幣交易（transactions），相當(dāng)于每分鐘20萬筆簽證交易，比特幣交易的平均規(guī)模是大約16次，即2000美元左右，而簽證交易平均額約為80美元”，可知，比特幣的消費水平比較高，并且成為一種交易，所以D項正確。
