中国画是中国传统艺术的一个重要分支。使用长毫毛笔，墨汁及水彩在绢纸上创作的传统中国画可谓硕果累累，且对中国文化与艺术有着重要影响。

传统中国画可以按其主题分为人物，山水，花鸟画等，或依据创作技法区分为工画(Meticulous)和写意画(Thought-sketching)。

中国画将诗、书、画、印结合起来，构成一种程式化形式的艺术。凭借上述元素，中国画能够充分展现B师的艺术特色，并且增添了其美学价值。

）andhavedeterminedthedirectionofAmericanindustrywererelatedtoagricultureandfoodproduction.

问题1选项

A.affluent

B.abundant

C.sufficient

D.bankrupt

【答案】A

【解析】考查形容词辨析。affluent富裕的，丰富的；abundant充裕的，丰富的；用来形容物。sufficient足够的，充足的；bankrupt破产的。句意：许多使人民生活富足并且决定了美国产业发展方向的发明都与农业和食品生产有关。由inventions可知发明都是为了让人类的生活更好，故可推知这些发明使人民生活富足。答案A

3.单选题

）thesystemofexploitationofmanbyman.

问题1选项

A.canceled

B.abolished

C.refused

D.rejected

【答案】B

【解析】句意:我们己经废除了人剥削人的制度。

动词辨析。Cancel取消，删除;abolish废除（一种制度，形式）;refuse拒绝；reject抵制，排斥.。因此B符合句意。

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:A

第3题:C

第4题:C

第5题:C

【解析】1.事实细节题。根据第一段第二句“ThatisthesoundofsolidwastehittingthebottomofgarbagecansalloverUnitedStates.”可知，本文主要讲的是全美国的固体垃圾处理问题，所以选项D正确。

2.信息归纳题。根据原文可知，尽管我们一直在为处理固体垃圾不断努力，但每年废弃物的数量都在不断增加，由此可知，这是一个棘手的难题，选项A正确；焚烧和回收是目前正在使用的方法，科学家需要找到其他废物处理方法，由此可知这是一个漫长的过程，所以选项B不正确；根据最后一段，加州虽然首次使用了卫生填埋的方法，但存在很多弊端，所以选项C不正确；选项D在文中没有提及。

3.事实细节题。根据第二段“Today,about85%ourgarbagegoestolandfillsorgarbagedumps.”大约85%的垃圾进入了垃圾填埋场或垃圾场。选项C符合原文。

4.词义推断题。“recycle”指循环利用。选项C将废物转化为可重复使用的材料，正确。

5.是非判断题。根据第一段“Thisdoesnotincludefluidmaterials.”可知选项A正确；根据第三段第一句“OnetypeofwastedisposalcalledsanitarylandfillwasfirstusedinFresnoCalifornia.”可知选项B正确;根据最后一段最后一句“Incinerationandrecyclingaremethodsthatarecurrentlyinusetoday.”可知选项C错误；根据第二段第一句“Eventhoughwemakeanefforttorecycleandcompostoursolidwaste”可知选项D正确。所以本题选C。

5.单选题

ToreturnGermanpropertytoGermanyiscertainlyjustand____.However,toclaimthatthepaintingsofRembrandandVermeerarepartofGermany’sculturalheritageoverstatesthematter.

问题1选项

A.decent

B.exhilarating

C.eruptive

D.combative

【答案】B

【解析】【选项释义】

A.decent体面的；正派的B.exhilarating令人高兴或兴奋的

C.eruptive爆发的D.combative好战的

【答案】B

【考查点】修饰语与被修饰语的搭配

【解题思路】空格处所填的形容词修饰的是“把德国的财产还给德国”这件事，能修饰这件事的是B选项exhilarating“令人高兴或兴奋的”。

【干扰项排除】

A选项decent指人正直的、正派的，或人的行为举止得体的、体面的，或某物像样的、体面的，与被修饰语搭配不当；

C选项eruptive“爆发的”，与被修饰语搭配不当；

D选项combative“好战的”，与被修饰语搭配不当。

【句意】把德国的财产归还德国当然是公正的、令人高兴的。然而，声称伦勃朗（Rembrand）和维米尔（Vermeer）的画作是德国文化遗产的一部分，就言过其实了。

6.单选题

JapanremainstiedtotheWesterncamppartlybecausetherelationshiphasbecome（

）tohereconomyandpoliticsoverfortyyears’association.

问题1选项

A.integral

B.unilateral

C.rational

D.hierarchical

【答案】A

【解析】形容词辨析。句意:日本依然和西方保持着关系，因为这层关系是他40年社交出来经济和政治的不可分割的一部分。

integral构成整体所必需的，完整的。unilateral单边的；［植］单侧的；单方面的。rational合理的；理性的。hierarchical分层的；等级体系的。

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:D

第3题:C

第4题:B

第5题:D

【解析】1.判断推理题。根据题干定位到第一段最后一句Thisisespeciallytrueinagriculture,wheresustainabledevelopmentisoftentakenasthesolemeasureofprogresswithoutaproperappreciationofhistoricalandculturalperspectives.（在农业领域尤其如此，可持续发展往往被视为进步的唯一衡量标准，而没有从历史和文化的角度进行适当的评价。）因此可持续发展就是人们衡量农业进步的指标，A选项“通过它的可持续性正确”。B选项“通过它对环境的影响”；C选项“通过它的生产力”；D选项“通过它对于经济发展的贡献”这三项都不是文章认为的观点。

2.事实细节题。根据题干定位到第三段Competitionfromoverseasledfarmerstospecializeandincreaseyields...However,thesechangeshavealsoledtohabitatlossandtodiminishingbiodiversity.（来自海外的竞争促使农民专业化并提高产量。在这一时期，食品变得更便宜、更安全、更可靠。然而，这些变化也导致了栖息地的丧失和生物多样性的减少。）也就是说这些使农民专业化并且增加产量的手段使得物种生物性减少，因此D选项“生物多样性的减少”正确。A选项“局部污染”这个是原文所没有提及的；B选项“来自海外的竞争”这个是造成物种多样性减少的根本原因，因果颠倒；C选项“农田的萎缩”原文并没有明确提及。

3.判断推理题。根据题干关键词定位到倒数第三段第三句话Forexample,weneedtomoveawayfromtheideathattraditionalpracticesareinevitablymoresustainablethannewones.（例如，我们需要摆脱认为传统做法不可避免的比新做法更具可持续性的想法。）也就是说传统做法并不比新做法具有持续性，因此C选项“它们不一定是可持续的”正确。A选项“它们几个世纪以来一直保持不变”原文未提及；B选项“它们没有跟上人口增长的步伐”，不符合原文；D选项“它们是环保的”与原文相悖。

4.事实细节题。根据题干关键词定位到倒数第三段第一、二句话Allthismeansthatagricultureinthe21stcenturywillhavetobeverydifferentfromhowitwasinthe20th.Thiswillrequireradicalthinking.（所有这些都意味着，21世纪的农业将与20世纪截然不同。这需要激进的思维。）激进的思维将会带来根本性的改变，根据这句话可以得出B选项“它将经历根本性的变化”正确。A选项“它将提供更多的动物产品”，无关项；C选项“它将放弃传统的农业做法”，原文并没有明确的提出说是否要放弃传统农业的做法；D选项“它将对环境造成零损害”，这个是做不到的。

5.主旨大意题。文章第一段提到，Thisisespeciallytrueinagriculture,wheresustainabledevelopmentisoftentakenasthesolemeasureofprogresswithoutaproperappreciationofhistoricalandculturalperspectives.（在农业领域尤其如此，可持续发展往往被视为进步的唯一衡量标准，而没有从历史和文化的角度进行适当的评价。）人们忽略了从历史文化的角度去合理评价它；接下来三段具体分析了人们是如何忽略的；第五段至末段提出21世纪的农业将与以前的截然不同，要求人们改变原有的农业方面的可持续发展思想。由此可知，作者主要是为了让人们重新思考什么是可持续发展的农业，因此D选项“敦促人们重新思考什么是可持续农业”。A选项“提醒人们可持续发展的需要”，是片面的信息；B选项“建议确保可持续粮食生产的方法”，只是文章中有略过，不是主旨；C选项“提出衡量农业发展的新标准”，作者并没有提出。

【答案】第1题:A

第2题:D

第3题:C

第4题:D

第5题:C

【解析】第1题:文章标题题。根据全文的大意，我们看到全文一直围绕的是艾滋病的危害和药物的研发，B选项并没有提及，C选项艾滋病毒已经蔓延到全世界了，D只是最后几段有提到亚洲，但是没有说亚洲是中心的意思，因此答案是A。

第2题:词义辨析题。gloom意为“昏暗”，doom意为“死亡，厄运”；A选项的obscurity是“朦胧；阴暗”的意思，D选项是“悲伤失望和终结”，与题干最符合，答案为D。

第3题:细节推断题。问：下列哪个数据是对的？正确的是C选项，答案在第二段的开头：AsofJanuary2000,theAIDSepidemichasclaimed15millionlivesandleft40millionpeoplelivingwithaviralinfectionthatslowlybutrelentlesslyerodestheimmunesystem.Accountingformorethan3milliondeathsinthepastyearalone.（截至2000年1月，艾滋病已夺去1500万人的生命，使4000万人生活在病毒感染中，这种病毒缓慢而无情地侵蚀着免疫系统。仅去年一年，就有300多万人死于艾滋病病毒。）这句话就是C选项的转述。

第4题:推断题。D选项的提示点在倒数第二段，“NewHIVinfectionswilloccurpredominatelyintheunderclass,withrates10timesashighinminoritygroups.”因此D正确；A、B、C通过原文都能判定出是错误的。

第5题:本题的答案在最后一段。“AcureforAIDSbytheyear2025isnotinconceivable.Butconstrainedbyeconomicreality,thesetherapeuticadvanceswillhaveonlylimitedbenefitoutsidetheU.S.andWesternEurope.（到2025年治愈艾滋病是不可想象的。但受经济现实的限制，这些治疗方面的进步在美国和西欧以外的国家的效果有限。）”因此可以看出，治疗艾滋病毒最重要的是经济实力，有经济实力才能去开发药物治疗病毒，因此答案为C。

【答案】第1题:D

第2题:C

第3题:B

第4题:C

第5题:C

【解析】1.主旨题。纵观全文，文章前半部分主要提到了与经济相关的规律，垄断经济形势对经济带来了重大影响。文章后半部分将垄断经济层面延伸至政治层面，提出在政治选举中也出现了相似的垄断统治规律，这样的民主实际上不是真正的民主。所以，本文主要围绕现代社会的选举政治这个话题展开的。选项D符合题意。

2.推断题。文章一二段主要提到了在经济层面出现的一种垄断经济现象，导致供不应求。根据文章第三段，“Theelectionrealm,issimilartotheeconomyinthatittendstobeaduopolyingeneralelections”，可知选举领域和经济领域类似，在选举中往往是双头垄断。可推断出一二段提到的经济现象主要是为了引出政治层面存在的政治垄断现象。选项C符合题意。

3.词义理解题。Infront“在前面”；Attheforefront“最前沿”；Inthecenter“在中央，表具体位置”；Inthemiddle“在中间，表具体位置”。句意：广告作为一种增加市场份额的主要方式出现在市场的前端，不从事破坏性的、损益性的价格竞争。选项B符合题意。

4.推断题。根据文章最后一段，“Thebasicsinthepoliticaleconomyareagreeduponbythetwopartiesandoffthetableforpublicdebateordiscussion.”，可知政治经济学的基础是两党一致同意的，不公开辩论或讨论。这里是说两党在政治方面垄断，因此并不是说他们对于政治经济基础有一致观点，而是完全由他们议定，不让公众或其他党派插手。因此C选项符合题意。

5.推断题。根据文章最后一段，“whatwouldbecalleda‘weakdemocracy’”，可知在文章末尾出现了Macpherson关于weakdemocracy的观点，可推断出，在接下来的文段中，可能会进一步对weakdemocracy进行讨论。选项C符合题意。

10.单选题

Thebadanddampweatherinthehotareawouldenabletheplantstoget（）quickly.

问题1选项

A.deduced

B.denounced

C.detached

D.decomposed

【答案】D

【解析】考查动词词义辨析。deduce“推论；推断”;denounce“谴责；告发”；detach“分离，派遣”；decompose“分解，腐烂”。根据badanddampweather“恶劣潮湿天气”可知plant（植物）容易腐烂，选项D符合题意。

11.单选题

Althoughtheinsistenceonbalancingspendingagainsttaxrevenueshascontributedtotheeconomy’sstagnation,unfortunately,thegovernmentdoesnotseemlikelyto_______thisrigidpolicy.

问题1选项

A.persistin

B.initiate

C.repudiate

D.continue

【答案】C

【解析】考查动词辨析。A选项persistin“坚持，固执于”；B选项initiate“创始；发起”；C选项repudiate“拒绝；（正式）否认；断绝关系”；D选项continue“继续；连续”。句意：尽管坚持收支平衡导致经济停滞，不幸的是，政府似乎不太可能_______这个僵化的政策。根据语境，这里指坚持收支平衡这个僵化的政策让经济停滞，但政府大有可能继续坚持这个政策，所以repudiate“（正式）否认”符合题意。因此C选项正确。
