【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。

8.单选题

Thetroopswereina（）position,completelyexposedtoattackfromtheair.

问题1选项

A.eminent

B.brutal

C.vulnerable

D.adequate

【答案】C

【解析】形容词词义辨析。eminent杰出的;brutal残忍的;vulnerable易受攻击的;adequate充足的。句意：部队处于易受攻击的位置,完全暴露了。选项C符合句意。

9.单选题

Thenoisewasso（）thatonlythosewithexcellenthearingwereawareofit.

问题1选项

A.dim

B.quiet

C.gentle

D.faint

【答案】D

【解析】考查形容词辨析。A选项dim“不亮的；看不清的”；B选项quiet“安静的”；C选项gentle“温和的；文雅的；高尚的”；D选项faint“微弱的；模糊的；不清楚的”。句意：噪音非常……，以至于只有具有良好听力的人才能听到。词组sothat“如此……以至于……”后半句只有听力非常出色的人才能听到，由此可知，噪音是非常微弱的。故选D。

10.单选题

Thecopperpothasbecometarnishedaftermanyyearsofneglect.

问题1选项

A.lostitsluster

B.becomeglossy

C.beenremoved

D.beenbuffed

【答案】A

【解析】考查形容词辨析。becometarnished表示“变得晦暗的，失去光泽的”；A项lostitsluster“失去光泽”，B项becomeglossy“变得光滑”，C项beenremoved“被移除”，D项beenbuffed“被抛光”。句意：这只铜壶多年没管了，已经失去了光泽。因此A项正确。

11.单选题

Icanrespectsomeonewhois（）fortheiractions,butIcannotrespectsomeonewhoisalwayspointingthefinger.

问题1选项

A.millennium

B.dominant

C.accountable

D.commercial

【答案】C

【解析】语义题。millennium一千年，千禧年；dominant占优势的，支配的；accountable负有责任的；commercial商业的，商务的。accountable符合要求。根据句中but一词推测,空格出应填与alwayspointingthefinger(总是指手画脚)反向的词。因此选C。

【解析】【选项释义】

A.Veldestartsoutbylayingoutthenumbers.A.维尔德首先列出了这些数字。

B.Forthosewhohaveponderedwhatbitcoinactuallyis—currencyvs.stockvs.money—Veldehasananswer.B.对于那些一直在思考比特币到底是货币、股票还是金钱的人来说，维尔德有一个答案。

C.IfthiswereEconomicMeanGirls,thisisthepartofthemoviewhereLindsay“Bitcoin”Lohangetsfriendedbythepowerful,popularcrowd.C.如果这是经济学中的《卑鄙女孩》，那么比特币就是电影中的林赛•罗韩，受到了大家的欢迎。

D.Atthatlevelofspending,it’sfairlyobviousthatmostoftheactivityhappeninginBitcoinisnotactuallybuyingthings(asIdidinMay),butrathertrading.D.在这样的消费水平上，很明显，大多数用比特币进行的活动实际上不是购买东西，就像我在5月份做的那样，而是交易。

E.Thankstoarecentpricesurgetoover$250,themarketcapforthenearly12millionBitcoininexistenceisnowwellover$3billion.E.由于最近比特币价格飙升至250美元以上，现有的近1200万比特币的市值现在远远超过30亿美元。

F.ThedigitalcurrencyhasgottenanofficialnodfromtheoverseerofU.S.currencyintheformofaprimeroutoftheFederalReserveBankofChicago.F.这种数字货币已经以芝加哥联邦储备银行入门级的形式得到了美元监管机构的正式认可。

41.由第一句“这是比特币的重要时刻（bigmoment）”，以及第二句中的“最终认为它是一个卓越的概念和技术成就，很可能被现有的金融机构使用”，可知，比特币的重要时刻就是被认可，所以F项正确。

42.这一段讲的是比特币被美元监管机构认可，并且被认为是一个卓越的概念和技术成就，那么比特币会被人们所欢迎和支持，所以C项正确。

43.根据该段后面两句，其中提到了一些数字，如“生产一个比特币需要一台价值约3000美元的机器，每天需要消耗约1美元的电力”，而且中间三段阐述了很多关于比特币的一些数据，所以该段第一句填入A项正确。

44.由该段最后一句“自2013年初以来，比特币的价值已经增长了10倍”可知，空格处可能是与比特币的价值有关，而第一句提到“目前流通的美元有1.2万亿美元，而比特币只有10亿美元”，可推测第二句要讲的是比特币价值的上涨，所以E项正确。

45.该段第一句提到“每一分钟平均约有30比特币交易（transactions），相当于每分钟20万笔签证交易，比特币交易的平均规模是大约16次，即2000美元左右，而签证交易平均额约为80美元”，可知，比特币的消费水平比较高，并且成为一种交易，所以D项正确。
