46Whyaretheremanydotsonanimpressionistpainting?

标准答案：Inordertoblendormixdifferentcolortogether.

知识点解析：文章第一段中两次出现"dots”一词："youseeliltledotsofdifferent

coloredpaints”和“thedotsofcolorsblendtogether"。将这两句话串起来综合分析，可

知，上一句提出现象，下一句解释现象出现的原因。因此，“Inordertoblendor

mixdifferentcolortogether.”可作为本题概括性的答案。

47、Ifanimpressionistpainterdrawsanapple,whatpartoftheapplewillattractthe

painter'sattentionmost?

标准答案：Lightandcolor

知识点解析：问句中的“attention”实际上与原文中的“interest”是指的同一个意思。

故本题可用“Lightandcolor.”来回答"What”的问句。

48、Whatdotraditionalpaintersfailtodo?

标准答案：Theycouldnotcreatethefeelingofbrightandnaturallight.

知识点解析：文章第二段指出“Traditionalpaintersworkedinside.Impressionist

paintersworkedoutsidebecausetheywantedtopainttheeffectofsunlightonobjects.”

传统画家与印象派画家形成对比。因此，“Theycouldnotcreatethefeelingofbright

andnaturallight.”可概括性地回答本题问题。

49、Bysayingthattraditionalpaintersworkedinside,wecanconcludethatthey

ignore.

标准答案:theeffectofsunlightonobjects

知识点解析：与前一句相同，在本文中，作者继续对比传统和印象派画家的不同。

通过对比，我们可以得知，传统画家忽视的是物体外表的光与色，即“Theeffectof

sunlightonobjects”。

50>WhydidMonetworkonadifferentpictureeveryhour?

标准答案：Becauseeveryhourthesunlightisdifferentorbecausethesunkeeps

Changing.

知识点解析：根据第三刍然段中“Monetmadehispaintingsdirectlyfromthechanging

ofnature,especiallyfromdifferenthoursofsunlight.Hisstudyofthehaystackisan

hour-by-hourrecordoftheartistryoflight"，我们可以做出准确的概括：Because

everyhourthesunlightisdifferentorbecausethesunkeepschanging.

51、Thank-youcardsseemtobecomerarebecause.

A、interactionbetweenpeoplehasbeendiminishedthanbefore

B、theetiquetteofthank-younoteshasbecomeoutofdate

C,peoplehavefoundbettermeansofexpressingtheirthanks

D、peoplehavebecomeforgetfulinthenewage

标准答案：A

知识点解析：答案在第一段“Thank-youcards...seemtoberareinanagewhen

theInternetcontinuestoreducehumaninteraction”：“在这个因特网的出现使人与人之

间的交流变得越来越少的时代，致谢卡似乎己十分少见了"。可见作者认为因人们

之间交流减少了，致谢卡才变得稀少的。故选A）。

52、Bysaying"atnotimeoftheyeararethank-younotesmorevisiblethanJune"the

writermeans.

A、thank-younotescanbemoreeasilynoticedinthemonthofJune

B、thank-younotescanbedisplayedtothebridesoratgraduationandsummerparlies

C>Juneisthemonthfullofinteraction,yetwedon'twriteenoughthank-younotes

D、it'sbettertosendthank-younotesinthemonthofJune

标准答案：C

知识点解析：六月是举办婚礼、毕业典礼以及初夏晚会的高峰期，根据上下文可知

作者认为在这些活动写感谢信是十分必要的，因此六月应该是一个充满了感谢信的

时间，但是因为人们没有能做到，因此感谢信才会变得更加“visible”（明显的，显著

的），故选C）。

53、AccordingtoLetitiaBaldrige.

A、realthank-younotesshouldbetouchedandhandledandpassedaroundforeveryone

toread

B、realthank-younotesshouldbehandwritten

C、thankyounoteswillbecomefashionableagaininthenewrenaissance

D^thankyounotesinemaildonotshowimportanceordignity

标准答案：B

知识点解析：第二段中LetitiaBaldrige指出“Arealthankyoudoesnotcomebye-

mail.Theycomeinthemailinanenvelope"：“真正的感谢不能通过表达，而必须通

过装在信封内的信件来表达”。紧接着第三段中指出“Don'tthinkforasecondthat

Baldrigeisold-fashioned.Handwrittenthank-younotes—anyhandwritten

correspondence,forthatmatter-havetakenonanairofextraimportanceanddignityin

thise-hypcrworld"："千万别以为Baldrige的想法过时了.手写的感谢信以及所有

手写的信件都给人特别重要和充满尊严的感觉因此Baldrige认为真正的感谢必

须用手写感谢信的方式才能表达，故选B）。

54、AccordingtoPeterPost,bywritingathank-youcard.

A、youexpressthatyouareobeyingrulesofetiquette

B、youshowthatyouarecaringforotherpeople

C、youacknowledgethatyouhavearelationshipwithothers

D、youdisplayyourgratitudeforwhatpeoplehavedoneforyou

标准答案：D

知火点解析：关键提示是笫四段中第四句"...isthatyouacknowledgewhen

someonehasclonesomethingniceforyou^o第四段指出：除了是一种礼节以外，致

谢卡还代表着关切。PeterPost认为写致谢卡很重要，人们通过卡片在建立一和联

系，而这种联系的一部分就是对他人为你所做的事情表示感谢。此处到

acknowledge为：expressordisplaygratitudefororappreciationof,即表示感激或欣

赏之意，故选D）。选项A写致谢卡表示你遵守礼节不符合题意。选项B写致谢卡

表示你喜欢或正照料他人不符合文章意思，选项C写致谢卡表示你承认与别人有

染当然也不符合文章的意思。

SS、PeterPostbelievesthat.

A、theetiquetteofsendingthank-youcardsdoesgoodtopeopleandmayneverdieaway

B、ifwesendmorethank-youcards,wewillreceivemoreinreturn

C>sendingthank-youcardsmayhelppeopledevelopapositiveattitudetowardlife

D、wecanbegreatlyrewardedforsendingthank-youcards

标准答案：A

知识点解析：根据第四段后一部分“'Thepayoff,Postsays,canbehuge.4Itwill

continueindefinitely,5hesays.'Themorewedoit，themoreitcomesbacktou。

andit'sabenefittousall.Itmakesourworldalittlebitnicerplacetolive“Post

说回报将是巨大的，它永远也不会消失，你做得越多，回报就越大，这对我们都有

好处，它使我们的世界变得美好"，故选A）。
