【答案】第1题:D

第2题:B

第3题:D

第4题:C

第5题:A

【解析】1.语义推测题。authored意思为“写作；编写”。根据第二段最后一句whohasauthored11otherbooksonsellingcollectibles（写了另外11本关于出售收藏品的书），这里authored搭配books，D选项“写”比较符合语境，也和authored词义相近。A选项“是某方面的权威”，B选项“批准，授权”和C选项“放弃权利”不符合题意。因此D选项正确。

2.推理判断题。根据第三段“TrashorTreasurecanmakeyourich,”…“It’sbetterthanbuyingalotteryticket—youcan’tlosewiththisbook.”（“《垃圾还是宝藏》可以让你变得富有，”……“这比买彩票好——你不会因为拥有这本书而失去什么。”），文章写的是卖废品为财富，运用这本书的内容会让人增加财富，更不会因为这本书失去什么，所以B选项“你可能花了很多钱买彩票，却什么也得不到，但是如果你买这本书，总会得到些什么”正确。A选项“你可能会失去一张彩票，但不会失去这本书”，C选项“可能买彩票你来晚了，但是买这本书不会晚”和D选项“如果你买彩票，可能不会像他人一样优秀，但是如果你买这本书，就会和其他人一样优秀”不符合文章内容。因此B选项正确。

3.语义推测题。根据第五段最后一句That’swhyDr.Hyman’sbookisinvaluable:Itleadsyoustraightto1,200specialtybuyerswhoareactivelylookingforyourdust-gatherers.（这就是为什么海曼博士的书是无价的：它直接把你带到1200个专业买家面前，而他们正在积极地寻找你的灰尘收集器。），这些专家专门收购垃圾，所以D选项“收集垃圾的东西”符合题意。A选项“积灰尘的东西”，B选项“受雇帮助清理垃圾的人”和C选项“被雇佣来清空垃圾箱的人”不符合题意。因此D选项正确。

4.事实细节题。根据第六段第二句Foritnotonlytellsyouwhatyouhavethatcouldbeofvalue,ittellsyouwhotosellitto,wherethey’relocated,andhowtohandlethetransaction.（因为它不仅告诉你你拥有什么可能有价值的东西，还告诉你把它卖给谁，他们在哪里，以及如何处理交易。），可知这本书的内容有A选项“专业买家的所在地”，B选项“可能有价值的东西”和D选项“谁会买有价值的收藏品”，C选项“专业买家什么时候处理交易”不包含在内。因此C选项正确。

5.主旨大意题。这篇文章介绍了TrashorTreasure这本书，也介绍了这本书的作者和内容，而没有对这本书的评价，所以A选项“书的序言”正确。B选项“书评”、C选项“社会服务机构给的意见”和D选项“广告”不符合题意。因此A选项正确。

6.单选题

【答案】第1题:C

第2题:B

第3题:A

第4题:D

第5题:C

【解析】1.题目问作者的文章主要是关注什么。根据文章第一段首句Theearliestcontroversiesabouttherelationshipbetweenphotographyandartcenteredonwhetherphotography’sfidelitytoappearancesanddependenceonamachineallowedittobeafineartasdistinctfrommerelyapracticalart.最早的关于摄影与艺术的关系的争论主要集中在摄影对于外表的保真度和对机器的依赖是否能够允许它成为一门艺术，有别于仅仅实用的美术。后文主要通过讨论摄影是否是一门艺术这个问题，然后分析了论点双方对于这个问题的态度。综合分析后可知主要是分析了摄影师对待艺术的态度，C选项“揭示了严肃的当代摄影师对于摄影作为艺术以及在历史背景下的艺术态度”符合题意。A项意为“解释了在十九世纪的争议之后摄影是怎样成作为美术出现的”；B项意为“鉴别在近期影响了被严肃的摄影师所采纳的技术的绘画和雕塑艺术中所用到的方式”；D项意为“定义严肃的当代摄影师对他们的艺术所采取的各种方法和评估这些方法的价值”不符合，排除。

2.theconceptofartimposedbythetriumphofModernism意为“被现代主义的胜利所强加的艺术的概念”。A项意为“呆板的，机械的”；B项意为“矛盾的”；C项意为“表面的，肤浅的”；D项意为“引人注目的”。本句所在句子意为“重要的摄影家们不再愿意辩论摄影是或者不是一种艺术，除了声称他们自己的作品不再涉及艺术，表明了在多大程度上他们简单地认为“被现代主义的胜利所强加的艺术的概念是理所当然的”：艺术越好，越颠覆艺术的传统目的。根据句意可知作者所表达的内容是‘矛盾的‘，B选项符合题意。

3.题目问作者介绍抽象表现主义画家的目的。根据第三段第二句‘Forexample,thosephotographerswhosupposethat,bytakingpictures,theyaregettingawayfromthepretensionsofartasexemplifiedbypaintingremindusofthoseAbstractExpressionistpainterswhoimaginedtheyweregettingawayfromtheintellectualausterityofclassicalModernistpaintingbyconcentratingonthephysicalactofpainting.例如，那些假设的摄影师，通过拍照，他们越来越远离以绘画艺术的自命不凡提醒我们的抽象表现主义画家想象他们摆脱古典现代主义绘画的知识紧缩专注于绘画的物理行为。‘可知作者主要是想举出这样的例子，A选项“是为了举出像严肃的现代摄影师那样的艺术家，否认传统上公认的现代艺术的目的”符合题意。

4.题目问哪一项最好地解释了严肃的当代摄影师对于摄影是否是一门艺术的反应。根据文章最后一句Manyprofessionalsprivatelyhavebeguntoworrythatthepromotionofphotographyasanactivitysubversiveofthetraditionalpretensionsofarthasgonesofarthatthepublicwillforgetthatphotographyisadistinctiveandexaltedactivity—inshort,anart.许多专业摄影人员私下里己经开始担心，摄影作为艺术活动促进颠覆传统的自命不凡已经走得太远，引起公众忘记摄影是一种独特的高活动总之，是一种艺术。确定D选项“摄影师认为最好的艺术是对艺术的颠覆，就像之前定义的那样”正确。

5.题目问作者很可能认为严肃的当代摄影是一种……。A项意为“一种正努力要被认可为美术的当代艺术”；B项意为“一种要求敏感性的工艺，但绝不是艺术”；C项意为“显示了现代主义的倾向，试图颠覆主流的艺术目标的现代艺术”；D项意为“显示所有的现代主义艺术的趋势变得越来越正式和抽象的现代艺术”。根据文章内容以及最后一段的阐述’thebettertheart,themoresubversiveitisofthetraditionalaimsofart.Manyprofessionalsprivatelyhavebeguntoworrythat...ofarthasgonesofar艺术越好，对传统艺术目标的颠覆性就越大。许多专业人士私下里开始担心……艺术已经走了这么远’确定C选项“显示了现代主义的倾向，试图颠覆主流的艺术目标的现代艺术”正确。

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:C

第3题:D

第4题:B

第5题:C

【解析】31.客观细节题。根据原文Evenwhendoctorswereavailable,theywereoftennomoreknowledgeablethantheirpatients.（即使有医生，他们也常常像他们的病人一样缺乏知识。）故A选项“他们不知道如何治疗他们不熟悉的疾病”正确。B选项“他们对在城市建立业务更感兴趣”，C选项“他们更关心做研究而不是治疗病人”，D选项“他们经常对他们病人的疾病无可奈何”不符合原文。因此A选项正确。

32.客观细节题。根据原文Andmostpatentmedicineswerenomorereliablethantheitinerantmerchantswhosoldthem.（大多数专利药和卖专利药的流动商人的药品一样，都不可靠。）所以我们可以推理出专利药的效果难以保证。C选项“它们的效果不太好。”正确。A选项“它们不贵”，B选项“它们对治疗蛇咬伤有帮助”，D选项“它们味道很重”都不符合原文。故选C。

33.推理判断题。定位在第二段第一句，提示词learnbackhome（从家学习到的），可以在下半句找到答案，theirEasterncousins（她们东部的表兄弟们）可推理出她们来自美国的东部地区。A选项Thedesert“沙漠”；B选项Thewest“西部”；C选项ThestateofMississippi“密西西比州”，首句Asprotectorofherfamily’shealth,thepioneerwomanconfrontedsituationssheneverimaginedbeforecrossingtheMississippi.Fewwomencamewestpreparedtodealwithdesertsunburn,rattlesnakebites,orarrowwounds.（作为她家庭健康的守护者，这位开拓者在穿越密西西比州之前遇到了她从未想象过的情况。很少有妇女来西部就准备好了应对沙漠晒伤、响尾蛇的咬伤或箭伤的。）由此可排除AB选项，C选项为干扰项，文中只说了穿越了密西西比并没有直接说明来自那里。故选D。

34.客观细节题。根据原文Fewwomencamewestpreparedtodealwithdesertsunburn,rattlesnakebites,orarrowwounds.（很少的妇女来到西部，就能够准备应对沙漠晒伤、响尾蛇咬伤或者箭伤的。）A选项“箭伤”，C选项“沙漠晒伤”，D选项“响尾蛇咬伤”在句中都有提及，而B选项“严重的冻伤”并未涉及，故选B。

35.语义推测题。A选项sincere“真诚的”；B选项young“年轻的”；C选项resourceful“有策略的，足智多谋的”；D选项rich“富有的”。从第一段我们知道西部地区是比较艰苦的，定位到第二段awomancoulddrawuponthefolkwisdomandremediesshehadlearnedbackhome.(女人可以借鉴自己在家里学到的民间智慧和疗法。)由此我们可知先锋者在西部艰苦的地方生存下来是需要有一定技巧的，故选C。

【答案】C

9.单选题

Thefiremen（

）theabandonedwarehouseforpotentialfirehazards.

问题1选项

A.scanned

C.scrutinized

D.audited

【答案】B

【解析】考查动词辨析。scan“浏览，扫视”；inspect“检查，仔细挑剔”；scrutinize“细看，仔细阅读，仔细挑剔地检查”；audit“审计，查账”。句意：消防员检查了废弃仓库是否存在潜在的火灾隐患。B项符合题意。

第3题:D

第4题:B

第5题:D

【解析】1.根据第一段的第一句“...aminoritygroupwasseenasdifferentfromthecharacteristicsofthedominantmajoritydeterminedtheextentofthatgroup'sacceptance.”少数群体因其不同于占主导地位的多数群体的特征的程度决定了该群体被接受的程度。选项A符合原文。

2.根据第一段的最后一句“ThelargenumbersofimmigrantswithsignificantlydifferentcharacteristicstendedtobeviewedasathreattobasicAmericanvaluesandtheAmericanwayoflife.”大量具有明显不同特征的移民往往被视为对美国基本价值观和美国生活方式的威胁。选项C正确。

3.根据第四段的第一句“AmericanstriedtomeetwhattheysawasathreattotheirvaluesbyofferingEnglishinstructionforthenewimmigrantsandcitizenshipclassestoteachthembasicAmericanbeliefs.”为移民提供公民课程是因为美国希望移民们了解并保持美国的价值观。选项D符合原文。

11.单选题

C.cavity

D.liability

【答案】D

【解析】考查名词辨析。A项capacity“能力，容量”，B项capability“才能”，C项cavity“腔，洞，凹处”，D项liability“责任，债务”。根据句子后半部分的意思“如果汽车损坏了，我们必须赔偿”可知，空格处填入“责任”符合句意。句意：汽车损坏是我们的责任，我们必须赔偿。因此，该题选择D项正确。
