问题1选项

A.faceupto

B.makeupto

C.standupto

D.lookupto

【答案】C

【解析】考查词组辨析。A项faceupto“勇敢地面对”，B项makeupto“接近，奉承”，C项standupto“经得起，抵抗”，D项lookupto“尊敬，崇拜”。根据关键词falsebanknotes“假钞”和closeexamination“仔细检查”可知，C项符合语境。句意：虽然这些假钞骗过了很多人，但它们并没有经得起仔细的检验。因此，该题选择C项正确。

【答案】第1题:B

第2题:A

第3题:D

第4题:A

第5题:D

【解析】1.推理判断题。由文章第一段中的Themanyexpressionsofhumanviolencearealwaysconditionedbysocialconventionsthatgiveshapetoaggressivebehavior.（人类暴力的许多表现形式总是受到社会习俗的制约，这些社会习俗形成了侵略性的行为）可知B选项“它受社会的影响”符合题意。

2.细节事实题。由文章第二段中的Theviolencewithinasocietyiscontrolledthroughinstitutionsoflaw.（社会中的暴力行为是通过法律制度来控制的）可知A选项“控制社会中的暴力”符合题意。

3.推理判断题。文章第二段中的Thesocietyassumestheresponsibilityforprotectingindividualsfromviolence.Incaseswheretheycannotbeprotected,thesocietyisresponsibleforimposingpunishment（社会承担起保护个人免受暴力侵害的责任，不能保护的，由社会负责处罚）是对前面句子Butinlegalsystems,theresponsibilityforrevengebecomesdepersonalizedanddiffused（但在法律制度中，复仇的责任变得非个性化和普及）进行解释，因此D选项“惩罚不是由有关个人直接执行的”符合题意。

4.词义题。A选项loyalty“忠诚”；B选项objective“目标”；C选项survival“幸存”；D选项motive“动机”。由文章第三段中的itisthemomentwhenthestatemakesitsmostpowerfuldemandsuponitspeoplefortheirrecommitment,allegiance,andsupremesacrifice（这是国家对它的子民提出的承诺、allegiance和至高无上的牺牲最强有力命令的时刻）可知recommitment,allegiance,andsupremesacrifice为并列的名词词语，allegiance的感情色彩要与承诺、牺牲的感情色彩一致，结合四个选项的意思以及句意可知A选项最为恰当。

5.推理判断题。由文章最后一段中的Warisnotsimplyatrialbycombattosettledisputesbetweenstates;itisthemomentwhenthestatemakesitsmostpowerfuldemandsuponitspeoplefortheirrecommitment,allegiance,andsupremesacrifice.（战争不仅仅是通过战斗来解决国家间争端的审判；这是国家对它的子民提出的承诺、忠诚和至高无上的牺牲最强有力命令的时刻）可知D选项“在战争时期，政府可以为了国家的利益牺牲个人”符合题意。

【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。

4.单选题

问题1选项

A.rapport

B.rapine

C.prospect

D.rapture

【答案】A

【解析】考查名词辨析。A选项“rapport”，意为“亲善；融洽；和睦关系”；B选项“rapine”，意为“掠夺；劫掠”；C选项“prospect”，意为“前途；预期；景色”；D选项“rapture”，意为“狂喜；欢天喜地；兴高采烈”。句意：和艾伦一起工作多年后，我们彼此非常了解，并建立了__良好的关系__。本句表示“因为和艾伦一起工作多年，彼此也十分了解，两人之间建立了亲密、和谐的良好关系”。因此A选项符合题意。

5.单选题

ThoughhewasbornandbroughtupinAmerican,hecanspeak（）Chinese.

问题1选项

A.fluid

B.smooth

C.fluent

D.flowing

【答案】C

【解析】句意:虽然他出生并成长于美国，但是他的汉语很流利。

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:C

第3题:A

第4题:C

第5题:D

【解析】1.细节事实题。文章第一段第二句提到他们真正的期望是获得足够的教育来为社会提供人力（Whattheyreallymeanistogetjustenougheducationtoprovidemanpowerforyoursociety），因此选项D符合题意。

2.判断推理题。文章第二段提到高中文凭是必要的，如果没有的话，除非你是萧伯纳或者爱迪生，如果你是他们，你小学辍学都行（unlessyournamehappenstobeGeorgeBernardShaworThomasAlvaEdison,andyoucansuccessfullydropoutingradeschool），因为他们就算没有文凭，也在各自领域中脱颖而出，因此选项C符合题意。

3.细节事实题。文章第五段倒数第一句话提到美国失业或未充分就业的博士人数比世界上其他国家要多（TherearemorePh.D.sunemployedorunderemployedinthiscountrythananyotherpartoftheworldbyfar），由此可知选项A符合题意。

4.判断推理题。根据文章第五段可知很多博士就业问题并不是很理想，由此可知选项C表述是错误的，符合题意。

5.判断推理题。无论是雇主、雇员还有博士生本人都是属于社会中的一员，一系列状况都是社会发展导致的，因此作者批判的是这个社会，因此选项D符合题意。

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:B

第3题:D

第4题:B

第5题:A

【解析】1.【试题答案】A

【试题解析】事实细节题。根据第二段第二句Infact,airconditioninghassubstantiallyalteredthecountry’scharacterandcustoms.（事实上，空调已经极大地改变了这个国家的性格和习俗。），可知空调在很大程度上影响着美国，A选项“空调的过多使用”正确。B选项“先进的计算机文明”：根据第三段最后一句Ithasbeenindispensable,noless,tothefunctioningofsensitiveadvancedcomputers,whosehighoperatingtemperaturesrequirethattheybeconstantlycooled.（对于灵敏的高级计算机来说，它是必不可少的，因为它们的高工作温度需要不断地冷却。），可知这里指的是计算机需要空调，而不是计算机影响美国。C选项“公众的自我追求”和D选项“它对人类文明的最大贡献”：文中没有提到公众的自我追求对美国的影响，也没有提到美国对人类的贡献。因此A选项正确。

2.【试题答案】B

【试题解析】推理判断题。根据第四段第一句Ithas,atwill,forcedfamiliesintoretreatingintofamilieswithcloseddoorsandshutwindows,reducingtheinteractionsofneighborhoodlife.（它随意地迫使家庭退回到门窗紧闭的家庭中，减少了社区生活的互动。），可知空调减少了人们在社区间的交流，B选项“社区生活中社会交流的减少”符合文章内容。A选项“人类适应气候变化能力的丧失”：根据第四段第三句air-conditioningmaydamagethehumancapacitytoadapttostress（空调可能会降低人类适应压力的能力），可知空调会降低人的适应力，但不至于到丧失的地步。C选项“所有用户积极的生活方式”：文中没有具体提到空调让人的生活方式变得更积极还是消极，这不是文章表达的重点。D选项“减少人类生产和力量”：根据文章最后一句air-conditioning…liberatemanfromnaturebyincreasinghisproductivityandpowerinsomeway（空调……通过在某些方面提高人的生产力和力量，把人从自然中解放出来），可知空调提高人的生产力和力量。因此B选项正确。

3.【试题答案】D

【试题解析】推理判断题。根据文章最后一句Ifso,air-conditioning…liberatemanfromnaturebyincreasinghisproductivityandpowerinsomeway—whileindirectlyweakeninghiminothers.（如果是这样的话，空调……通过在某些方面提高人的生产力和力量，把人从自然中解放出来，而在其他方面间接地削弱了人的能力。），可知空调有利有弊，D选项“对用户来说有利有弊”正确；没有分别点出利弊的程度有多深，C选项“对用户来说利大于弊”错误。根据文章倒数第二句Thoughsciencehaslittlestudiedhowhabitualair-conditioningaffectsmindandbody,somemedicalexpertssuggestthat…air-conditioningmaydamagethehumancapacitytoadapttostress.（尽管科学上很少研究习惯性的空调是如何影响身心的，但一些医学专家认为……空调可能会降低人类适应压力的能力。），前文也提到空调减少社区生活的互动，可知空调对人的身心都有影响，但没有点出对哪方面的影响更大，A选项“对其用户没有什么影响”错误和B选项“对身体的影响比对精神的影响大”错误。因此D选项正确。

4.【试题答案】B

【试题解析】推理判断题。根据第一段第二句Air-conditioningbegantospreadinindustriesasaproductionaidduringWorldWarⅡ.（在第二次世界大战期间，空调作为一种生产援助开始在工业中传播），制造商可以从中赚钱，D选项“制造商”错误。根据第一段最后一句TodaymostAmericansneedtotakeair-conditioningforgrantedtohomes,offices,factories,theatres,shops,studios,schools,hotels,andrestaurants.（如今，大多数美国人在家庭、办公室、工厂、剧院、商店、工作室、学校、酒店和餐馆都需要空调。），工厂工人可以在夏天仍然享受舒服的室温，A选项“工厂工人”错误。根据第四段第三句somemedicalexpertssuggestthat,likeothertechnicalavoidanceofnaturalvariationsinclimate,air-conditioningmaydamagethehumancapacitytoadapttostress.（但有的医学专家认为，就像其他躲避气候自然变化的技术一样，空调可能会损害人类适应压力的能力。），医学专家可以以空调带给人的影响做研究，C选项“医学专家”错误。纵观全文，作者点出空调带给用空调的人的各种坏处，比如减少社区互动、降低适应压力的能力等，所以消费者受益最小，B选项“消费者”符合文章内容。因此B选项正确。

5.【试题答案】A

【试题解析】观点态度题。文章提到空调成本高昂、带来的舒适性小，减少了人们的交流，降低了人们适应压力的能力，罗列出很多缺点，却没有提到空调给人们带来的具有建设性的优点，A选项“批评”正确，B选项“折衷”和C选项“中立”错误。D选项“客观”：带有批判性就不是客观的态度。因此A选项正确。

8.单选题

Itonlytookafewsecondsforhertosize（）thesituation.

问题1选项

A.over

B.up

C.on

D.to

【答案】B

【解析】考查固定短语搭配。根据题干可知考查sizeup“打量；估计……的大小；判断”，其他的选项都没有这种搭配。句意：她只花了几秒钟审时度势。因此B选项正确。
