【语篇解读】这是•篇说明文。文章主要阐述了解艺术史比上历史课能更好的了解一种文化,因为艺术作品
中倾注了创作人的思想情感,可以更好地反映某个特定时期的历史以及某个特定地域的文化。
61.WhichofthefollowingsentencesisWRONGaccordingtothepassage?
A.Arthistoryconcentratesonreligiousbeliefs,emotionsandpsychologyonly.
B.Artcanprovideinformationabouttheeverydayactivitiesofancientpeople.
C.Informationandfactsaboutpoliticsaregivenobjectivelyinhistory.
D.FrancisoGoyawasperhapsthefirsttrulypoliticalartist.
【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段中Butarthistoryfocusesonmuchmorethanthisbecauseartreflectsnotonly
thepoliticalvaluesofapeople,butalsoreligiousbeliefs,emotions,andpsychology.(但艺术史关注的
远不止这些,因为艺术不仅反映了一个民族的政治价值观,而且还反映了宗教信仰、情感和心理。)
可知,艺术史既反映了一个民族的政治价值观,也反映了宗教信仰、情感和心理。A.Arthistory
concentratesonreligiousbeliefs,emotionsandpsychologyonly.(艺术史只关注宗教信仰、情感和心
理)符合题意。故选A项。
62.ThetwopicturesTheThirdofMay,1808andGuernicamentionedinparagraph2showthat.
A.artissubjective
B.artistsareverysimilarevenoverahundredyears
C.artcanreflectpoliticallifeofacountry
D.historybookspresentobjectiveinformation
【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段中Art,ontheotherhand,issubjective:itreflectsemotionsandopinions.(另
一方面,艺术是主观的:它反映情感和观点。)可知,艺术是主观的。然后作者用一些例子来支持自
己的观点,包括TheThirdofMay,1808andGuernica这两个作品,所以可以推测,作者举这两个例子,
就是为了证明艺术是主观的。A.anissubjective(艺术是主观的)符合题意。故选A项。
63.Thepassageismainlydiscussing.
A.thedifferencebetweengeneralhistoryandarthistory
B.thedevelopmentofarthistory
C.theinfluenceofartistsonarthistory
D.whatwecanlearnfromart
【答案】D
【解析】主旨大意题。根据第■段中Astudyofarthistorymightbeagoodwaytolearnmoreaboutaculture
thanispossibletolearningeneralclasses4学习艺术史可能是了解一种文化的好方法,比在一一般课堂
上学到的要多)可知,文章开篇点名主题,所以本文主要讲述了我们可以从艺术中学到什么。D.what
wecanleanifromarl.(我们可以从艺术中学到什么)符合题意。故选D项。
64.Itmaybeconcludedfromthispassagethat.
A.Islamicartistsfocusoncreatingarchitecturaldecorationswithpicturesofflowersorgeometric(/L)forms
B.historyteachersaremoreobjectivethanartists
C.itismoredifficulttostudyarthistorythangeneralhistory
D.peopleandstoriesfromtheBiblewerepaintedonchurchesandotherbuildingsinordertopopularizethe
Bible
【答案】A
【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中Bycontrast,oneofthemaincharacteristicsofartintheMiddleEast
was(andstillis)itsabsenceofhumanandanimalimages.ThisreflectstheIslamic(伊斯兰教的)belief
thatstatuesareunholy(不神圣的,亵渎的).(相比之下,中东艺术的主要特征之一是,现在仍然是,缺少
人类和动物的形象。这反映了伊斯兰教徒认为,雕像是邪恶的)可推测出,伊斯兰教徒们因为信仰,
所以很少画人类和动物,所以转而用花卉等艺术形象进行创作。A.Islamicartistsfocusoncreating
architecturaldecorationswithpicturesofflowersorgeometric(几彳可)forms.(伊卜斯兰艺术家专注于开发
建筑装饰与鲜花的照片或几何形式)符合题意。故选A项。

A.somethingbadhadhappenedinthegarden
B.herneighbourswereexperiencinggreatgrief

【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。根据文章的“Butwecan'tpossiblyhaveagardenpartywithamandeadjustoutsidethe
frontgate.Andjustthinkofwhatthebandwouldsoundliketothatpoorwoman,"saidLaura.”可知,但
我们不可能在前门外面有个死人的情况下举行花园派对。劳拉说:“想想那个可怜的女人会怎么
样。”所以劳拉建议停止聚会是因为邻居家刚死了人彳艮难过。故选B。
66.Whatdoesthelastparagraphmainlytellus?
A.Laurawastryingtosubmitherselftoherfamily.

AmIbeingextravagant?和I'llrememberitagainaftertheparty'sover,shedecided.Andsomehow
thatseemedquitethebestplan…可知,劳拉一直在说服自己妈妈是正确的,她开始认为应该继续举
行派对。由此判断出,劳拉正在向家人屈服,submittosb.屈服于,顺从。故选A。
67.Whatwillmostprobablyhappenfollowingthisstory?
A.Lauracameupwithabestplantosolveallthis.
B.Lauramanagedtopersuadehermotherandsister.
C.Thepartyjustcontinuedasplannedinthegarden,
D.Thepoorwidowcameovertoscoldtheband.
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。结合上文,根据最后一段的rilrememberitagainaftertheparty'sover,shedecided.And
somehowthatseemedquitethebestplan…可知,派对结束后我会记起来的,她决定了,不知怎么的,
这似乎是最好的计划。由此判断出这个派对会如期举行。故选C。
68.WhichofthefollowingcanbestdescribeLaura?
A.Sentimentalandpersistent.B.Optimisticandeasy-going.
C.Considerateandsympathetic.D.Hardworkingandopen-minded,
【答案】C
【解析】推理判断题。根据文中的“Andjustthinkofwhatthebandwouldsoundliketothatpoorwoman/said
Laura.劳拉说道:“想想这个乐队对那个可怜的女人来说会是什么样子J由此判断叫劳拉是•个
体贴而又富有同情心的人。故选C。
69.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“extravagant"probablymean?

“停止派对?"我亲爱的劳拉,别那么荒谬。我们当然不能做这种事。没人希望我们这么做。可
知Jose认为停止派对是不可能的,结合选项可知,extravagant应是“不现实”的意思。故选B。
7O.Whichofthefollowingcanbethebesttitleofthestory?
A.Thegardenparty.B.Thequarrel.C.therichandthepoor.D.Thedeathofaneighbour.
【答案】A
【解析】主旨大意题。文章讲述了劳拉家要在花园里举行派对,可是贫穷的邻居家死了人,劳拉认为此时举
行派对不合适,但是母亲和姐姐认为她太荒谬,最后,她不得不顺从于家人。整篇文章都是围绕花园
里的派对这一主题。因此,本文的最佳题目是“花园派对”。故选A。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,以莫纳科为例介绍了如今越来越多的美国青少年注重学业而不是工作。
58.WhatisthetrendofAmericanteenagers?
A.Theyarebecominglazy.
B.Theyarefondofdoingholidayjobs.
C.Theyarefocusingmoreonstudiesthanonjobs.
D.Theyarebecomingparticularaboutholidayjobs
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Itusedtobethatasummerjobwasconsideredateenagething.Today,
Monaco,whohasneverhadasummerjob,ispartofgrowingtrend(趋势)teenagersfocusingontheir
studies,evenduringthesummer.”可知,以前暑期工作被认为是青少年该做的事,如今漠纳科从未做
过暑期工作,她也成了越来越多的注重学业的青少年中的一员,即使是在暑期,由此可知,美国青少
年的趋势是注重学业而不是工作,故C项正确。
59.Whatisthethirdparagraphmainlyabout?
A.Thereasonsforteenagersgivingupwork.B.Thefiercecompetitionteenagersface.
C.ThestructureofAmerica'sworkforce.D.TheeffectsofAmerica9sweakeconomy.
【答案】A
【解析】主旨大意题。根据第二段内容,特别是根据“thebiggestreasonwhysometeenswon'tbeworking”可
知,本段主要介绍的是青少年放弃工作的原因——激烈的竞争、年长的工人重返劳动大军以及疲
软的经济增长;家庭作业占用的时间越来越多;根本没有时间,故A项正确。
60.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“fhzed"inthelastparagraphmean?
A.supported.B.helped.C.upset.D.confused.
【答案】C
【解析】词义猜测题。根据画线词后的"MaybeIhavemissedoutonacoupleoflifeskills/*shesaid."ButI
don'tthinkitwillharmmeinway.”可知,她说,“也许我错失了•些生活技能,但我不认为它会伤害
到我”,这说明莫纳科并没有被缺乏工作经验而困扰,由此可知画线词词义为“困扰、使心烦”,
故C项正确。
C
