A、post-warmodernistarchitecturewascomingunderfire

B、UNbuildinginNewYorkblocksthehousingprojects

C、windsweptplazaspresent"face"totheinhabitantsofthecity

D^functionismreflectstheneedsofthesocialbody

标准答案：C

知识点解析：推理判断题。题目是关于功能主义者的观点的，这是文章第一段的内

容。从第一段的论述可以看出，所谓的建筑功能主义者就是注重建筑功能而忽视建

筑外观的设计者，他们认为建筑本身不需要注重外形，因为周围广场的存在已经满

足了市民的需要。

27、Thelastsentenceofthesecondparagraphimplies.

A、agovernmentistheembodimentofacountry

B、architecturalformshouldreflecttheneedsofthesocialbody

C、thecities,asgovernment,shouldshowpeopleperfectappearance

D^makingthedecisionofarchitectureisacomprehensiveproject

标准答案：D

知识点解析：推理判断题。由第二段最后一句话可知，Rykweri把约瑟夫的格言”

一个国家应有配得上的政府“改为“城市也需要与之般配的外观”。

28、28Theword"cxaccrbating"(Para4)means.

A、deteriorating

B、inspiring

C、encouraging

D^producing

标准答案：A

知识点解析:猜词题。”...whenpopulationsshifted,andincreased,exacerbating

problemsofhousingandcrime”这句话是说人口增长对住房和犯罪的影响。按逻辑推

理，通常人口增长会使犯罪增加，住房问题恶化；exacerbate意为"恶化，

deteriorate"恶化"，inspire"激发",encourage"®®"»produce"产生",因此正确答案

为deterioratingo

29AccordingtoMr.Rykwert,he.

A、seesdamagehereandthere

B、isabsolutelyafunctionist

C、iscompletelydisappointedwiththecily'sdeath

D、islookingatthecityobjectively

标准答案：D

知识点解析：推理判断题。本题是关于Rykweri对城市建筑的观点，可以采用排除

法。他认为城市建筑不应当忽略外形，但他对城市也不持否定态度。从“Mr.

Rykwcrthashisworries,tobesure,buthedocsnotsecruinorchaoseverywhere.He

defendsthecityasahumanandsocialnecessity".可以看出，他对城市源持乐观的态

度，客观地看待城市的发展。

B、post-warmodernistarchitectureistherepresentativeoffunctiomsm

C、functionismandpost-warmodernismarchitecturearetotallycontradictory

D、Mr.Rykwcrtsupportsfunctionism

标准答案：B

知识点解析：推理判断题。题目要求找出作者把建筑功能主义与战后现代建筑联系

起来的原因，从第•段可以看出，战后现代建筑不注重外形，只注重功能，这就是

将二者联系起来的原因。

A、didnothingsubstantiveexceptcriticizingthereality

B、protectedanimalssuccessfully

C^werecrueltotheanimals

D、niurdurcdlliuirneighbor'sdog

标准答案：A''

知识点解析：事实细节题。题干是说小说中女孩的做法。第一段中心意思是：她们

企图保护动物权益，但除了抨击一些现象外几乎没有什么实质性的突破。由

"Drivenhazilytodefendanimalrights,thegirlsaccomplishliltlebeyondcursing”这句话

可以看出她们没有实质性成果。四个备选项中，”除针硬时弊外没有实质性的作为”

正确。

32、ThisnovelisattentivetoeachofthefollowingEXCEPT.

A^backgrounds

B、conversations

C、traditionalstorylines

标准答案：C

知识点解析：事实细节题。由第一段"AcareenacrossthebarelytamedArizona

出，这部小说更注重场景、对话、背景而非传统的故事情节。

出现…”。言外之意，这本小说主要是关于动物保护的。四个备选项中，”动物保护

正确。

34Thesecondparagraphtellsus.

ANthemiserablelifeofthegirls

B、thegirls'parentsaregrowingold

C、socialcontradictionandcircumstancesihegirlslivein

D、thebackgroundsofthestoryandtheheroines

标准答案：D

知识点解析：推理判断题。文章第二段讲了几个女孩的家庭背景，她们都没有母

亲，选项”几个女孩的悲惨生活“、”主人公的生活背景和家庭背景”都有提及，但是

本题是内容概括题，答案选项更合适。”女孩的父母正在变老”，文中提到Corvus

的父母淹死了，故不正确。”女孩们生活中的社会矛盾和社会环境”，第二段并未提

到社会矛盾。

35、ForAlice,puttinglostteethunderapillowformoneyis.

A^justabeautifuldream

B、awaytohavesomehope

C、awaytobeawayfromlust

的牙齿放在枕头下想得钱是典型的资本主义消费者的小伎俩，目的是让你从小就远

离正常的恐惧和沮丧，而充满贪婪、迷惑人的美好愿望）。可以看出，这个小伎俩

就是让人充满贪婪的愿望。四个备选项中，”使人有一些希望”正确。

2010年后F1赛事的转播权，而转播权也许会移交给拥有F1车队的一群汽车制造

商)。可以得知，FIA要移交该权利必须等到合同期2010年后，因此四个备选项

中，”合同期限结束”正确。
