【答案】第1题:B

第2题:D

第3题:A

第4题:C

第5题:D

【解析】1.判断推理题。题干问的是“对IsadoraDuncan来说，大自然代表了什么？”根据第二段的一、二句“她对自然运动形式的探索使她进入了自然。她认为运动应该像树木的摇摆和大海的波涛一样自然，应该与大地的运动协调一致。”也就是说，IsadoraDuncan把大自然当作舞蹈运动的模型，将舞蹈和自然相结合。所以选项B正确。

2.判断推理题。根据原文第四段的内容“她摒弃了紫色内衣，芭蕾舞鞋和具有限制性的服装，取而代之的是飘逸的希腊宽松外衣、光着脚和披散着的头发。”由此可知，Duncan的服装是轻松自由的，相对于芭蕾服装来说，没有那么多的限制性，所以选项D正确。

3.细节事实题。原文第三段主要讲述的是Duncan对舞蹈动作的改变；第四段主要讲述的是对舞蹈服装的改变；第五段主要讲述的是对音乐运用的改变。所以只有选项A“舞台”的改变在原文中没有提及。

4.判断推理题。原文首段的一二句提及“上世纪晚期，许多艺术家都在寻找一种表达自己个性的方法。现代舞是其中一些人寻求释放他们创造精神的方式之一。”接下来的内容主要是围绕着现代舞的先驱IsadoraDuncan展开，讲述了她在舞蹈上的一些创新，由此可推断，作者非常注重个性。所以选项C正确。

5.主旨大意题。结合全文内容可知，本文是一篇传记，主要讲述的是现代舞的先驱——IsadoraDuncan对舞蹈的巨大贡献。所以选项D正确。

2.单选题

问题1选项

【答案】A

【解析】形容词辨析。A选项crude“天然的，未加工的”；B选项fresh“新鲜的，清新的”；C选项rude“粗鲁的，无礼的”；D选项original“原来的；开始的”。句意：汽油是由地下开采的原油提炼而成的。由选项意思和句意可知，A选项符合句意。

3.单选题

Theteachersofthecollegearemakinggreateffortsto（

）intheirstudentsthehabitofspeakingEnglish.

问题1选项

A.cultivate

B.accomplish

C.assist

D.require

【答案】A

【解析】考查动词辨析。cultivate“培养，陶冶”；accomplish“完成，实现”；assist“帮助”；require“需要，要求”。句意：这所大学的老师花很多努力培养学生说外语的习惯。A项符合题意，答案A

4.单选题

问题1选项

A.inspiteof

B.inwaysof

C.infavorof

D.intermsof

【答案】D

【解析】考查词组辨析。inspiteof尽管；infavorof有利于，支持；intermsof依据，按照，在…方面。许多科学家和工程师从他们所取得的成就来被评价，只有D项符合题意。

5.单选题

Shespentahappyafternoon______hercoinsandstamps.

问题1选项

A.makingout

B.sortingout

C.figuringout

D.turningout

【答案】B

【解析】考查词组辨析。A选项makingout“理解；证明；填写完”；B选项sortingout“整理；挑选”；C选项figuringout“解决；算出”；D选项turningout“原来是”。句意：她______她的硬币和邮票，度过了一个快乐的下午。根据语境，sortingout“整理；挑选”搭配coinsandstamps“硬币和邮票”比较合适。因此B选项正确。

Thegovernment’sinabilityto（）itsownlawsandregulationsdisappointedtheelectorate.
