31、[Cl]

标准答案：purpose

知识点解析：女文中的第一句话“Themostobviouspurpose…”可以看出后面还有别

的目的，而不是仅仅有最明显的目的。故答案为purpose。

32、[C2]

标准答案：first

知识点解析：根据题意，作者想在这里做一个比较，而比较的对象是目的。这里作

者仅仅给出了两个目的，所以这里是和第一个目的进行比较。故答案为firsi。

33、[C3]

标准答案：production

知识点解析：从前一句话“Themanufacturersgobeyondonlytellingconsumersabout

iheirproducts.”可以看出，一方面广告要介绍自己的产品，而第二个目的就是卖掉

自己的产品。所以这里作者想要表达的意思是“广告要使得顾客有一种购买的欲望

去购买自己的产品。”故答案为production。

34、[C4]

标准答案：for

知识点解析：解析见上题。desire后面用介词for。故答案为tor,表示、、…的欲

望”。

35、[C5]

标准答案：bought

知识点解析：本句的前一句话说“顾客认为他们需要一些他们其实不需要的商品。”

这就是广告的作用。但是买完之后，“他们却不知道当时为什么买了这种商品。”这

里是被动的句式。故答案为bought。

36、[C6]

标准答案：though

知识点解析：本句话的意思是“尽管知道顾客们可能不知道自己为什么买了这些商

品，但是卖家却知道怎么去做。”故答案为though。

37、[C7]

标准答案：do

知识点解析：解析见上题，为了避免与前面的know重复，这里可以换做do。故答

案为do。

38、[C8]

标准答案：selling

知识点解析：关键是看and后面的buying。本句话的意思是“商家分析市场的供需

情况。”故答案为sellingo

39、[C9]

标准答案：some

知识点解析：关键是注意and前后一致。“somerationaland…emotional”,前面说促

使顾客购买的动机有很多，有的是理性的，有的却是冲动。所以这里应该是

some。故答案为some。

40、[CIO]

标准答案：knowledge

知识点解析：前面讲商家正确地分析市场的供需信息，知道是什么因素影响顾客的

购买欲望。这就是他们利用的信息知识。故答案为knowledge。

41、[CU]

标准答案：are

知识点解析：分析句子结构，这里缺少系动词be来构成动词的被动形式。故答案

为are。

42、[C12]

标准答案：reasons

知识点解析：本段的第一句话提出问题，问为什么在结算处摆设了那么多的商品。

很明显，后面的文章对这个问题进行回答，并列举了原因。故答案为reasons。

43、[C13]

标准答案：ready

知识点解析：顾客来到结算处，说明他们准备好了要付账。bereadyto的意思是“准

备好了做某事故答案为ready。

44、[C14]

标准答案：on

知识点解析：“…的决定''英语表达为“decisiononsth.”这里介词需要用。n。故答

案为on。

45、[C15]

标准答案：customer

知识点解析：从这个句子的宾语”…ihalheorshehasdoneagoodjobofchoosingthe

items.”可以看出，这里说的是顾客的行为，他们认为自己买这些商品是很理性

的。故答案为customer

46>[C161

标准答案：display

知识点解析：这里耍回应本段笫句话中的“di叩laved”。在出口结算处展示的这些

小商品无疑是一种诱惑。这里需要用名词形式。筱答案为display。

47、[C17]

标准答案：rational

知识点解析：从文章的后面可以知道，顾客们已经要结算了，认为都买了该买的商

品。但是售货员在他们等着付账的过程中巧妙地利用顾客们的购物冲动向他们推

销，而不是理性购物。故答案为rational。

48、[C18]

标准答案：some

知识点解析：这里需要填写的是商品的名称，就是说摆在出口结算处的那些小商

品。泛指时用some。故答案为some。

49、[C19]

标准答案:what

知识点解析：这句话的意思是“这就是商家和卖者希望顾客们做的事情"，what引

导的是一个表语从句，故答案为what。

50、（C201

标准答案:do

知识点解析：分析见上题。故答案为do。

A、Sperocanhardlymaintainherbusiness

B、Speroistoomuchengagedinherwork

C、Sperohasgrownoutofherbadhabit

D^Speroisnotinadesperatesituation

标准答案：D

知识点解析：“bitingone'snails”的意思是“一筹莫展”，通过后面的表述，“mostof

herclientsspend$12to$50weekly,...”可以看出Spero并不是到T没有顾客的地

步，只是越来越少，所以她并没有到达绝望的处境。故应选D。

52、Howdothepublicfeelaboutthecurrenteconomicsituation?

A、Optimistic

B>Contused.

担心，相反他们认为从长远的角度来看，这种情况还是比较好的。故应选A。

53、Whenmentioning"the$4millionto$10millionrange"(Line2,Paragraph3)the

authoristalkinga-bout.

A^goldmarket

B、realestate

C^stockexchange

D、ventureinvestment

标准答案：B

Bo

A、Anowboom,onthehorizon.

Tightenthebelt,thesingleremedy.

标准答案：C

知识点解析：通过全文的理解，我们可以发现作者在列数了经济形势不好的局面之

度应该是“对此加以注意，但不要惶恐。”故应选C。

workremainedoutsideofacceptedtaste,pleasingneitheramateurobserversnor

connoisseurs.(Manyofhisbestpaintings,however,remainedhiddenawayinobscure

A^TheRoleofStandardArtAnalysesandAppraisals

B、SandroBotticelli:FromRejectiontoAppreciation

C、TheHistoryofCritics*ResponsestoArtWorks

D^BotticelliandFlorentine:AComparativeStudy

标准答案：B

知识点解析：文章一开始就说“…suggeststhatwidespreadappreciationbycriticsisa

relativelyrecentphenomenon.”桑德罗・波提切利作品被关注是最近才看的现象，接

卜.来作者说明被抛弃的原因以及重新被认识的原因。所以整篇文章都是围绕他的作

品是如何被拒绝后来又被欣赏的。故应选B。

62>Wecanlearnfromthetextthatartcriticshaveahistoryof.

A、suppressingpainters,artinitiatives

B、favoringBotticelli'sbestpaintings

C>rejectingtraditionalartcharacteristics

D、undervaluingBotticelli^achievements

标准答案：D

知识点解析：文章的第一段最后一句话“Evenwhenanti—academicarthistorians...,

Botticelli'sworkremainedoutsideofacceptedtaste…就算当时很多正统的艺术风

格被批判，波提切利的作品也没有引起重视，认为他的作品不随人们的口味，既满

足不了专业人士的品位，也不能满足业余人士的欣赏要求。这里的unTiervalue的

意思是“低估，没有重视”，故应选D。

63TheviewsofVasariandHomeonBotticelli'sproductsare.

A^identical

B、complementary

C、opposite

D、similar

标准答案：C

知识点解析：瓦萨利在文中第一段说到“VasariexpressedanuneasewithBotticelli's

work,…”说明他的态度是反对的，后来在最后一段倒数第二句"However,Home

arguedthatBotticelli...emphasizedcleardepletionofastory,auniqueachievement...

表明霍姆的态度是肯定的。故应选C。

64、Theword"connoisseurs'XParagraph1)mostprobablymeans.

A、representativesinthePre-RaphaeliteMovement

B、peoplewhoareinfavorofFlorentine

C、criticswhoarelikelytomakeassessments

D、conservativesclingingtoclassicalart

标准答案：C

taste,pleasingneitheramateurobserversnorconnoisseurs.”可知,作者讲述了那些

评论家.不管是'II，余的还是职'II，的.他们都不满意他的作品风格C所以这个词的意

思可能是“对作品做出评论的那些业余人士故应选Co

65、WhatdoestheauthorthinkofBotticelli'srepresentationskills?

A、Theyaretobefullyappreciated.

B、Theyevolvefromanuncertainsource.

C、Theyunderliehispersonality.

D、Theyconformtotheclassicalstyle.

标准答案：A

知识点解析：从文章最后一句话“BecauseofHome'semphasiscrucialtoanystudyof

art,thetwentiethcenturvhascometoappreciateBotti-celli'sachievements.“可以看

出，作者认为波提切利ii勺作品在二十一世纪会被重新的认识，人们会重新认识他作

品的成就。故应选A。
