  • 第2题:

    Comparisons were drawn between the development of television in the 20th century and the diffusion of printing in the 15th and 16th centuries. Yet much had happened between. As was discussed before, it was not until the 19th century that the newspaper became the dominant pre- electronic(61), following in the wake of the pamphlet and the book and in the(62)of the periodical. It was during the same time that the communications revolution(63)UP, beginning with transport, the railway, and leading on through the telegraph, the telephone, radio, and motion pictures into the 20th-century world of the motor car and the air plane. Not everyone sees that process in(64). It is important to do so.

    It is generally recognized,(65), that the introduction of the computer in the early 20th century,(66)by the invention of the integrated circuit during the 1960s, radically changed the process, although its impact on the media was not immediately(67). As time went by, computers became smaller and more powerful, and they became "personal" too, as well as(68), with display becoming sharper and storage(69)increasing. They were thought of, like people,(70)generations, with the distance between generations much(71).

    It was within the computer age that the term "information society" began to be widely used to describe the(72)within which we now live. The communications revolution has(73)both work and leisure and how we think and feel both about place and time, but there have been(74)view about its economic, political, social and cultural implications. "Benefits" have been weighed(75)"harmful" outcomes. And generalizations have proved difficult.

    正确答案:C
    解析:文章背景分析:这是一篇有关人类信息社会发展过程问题的社科类说明文。文章中心主线分析:文章的中心主线在文章的首句以及第2句就已经明确了。(Comparisonsweredrawnbetweenthedevelopmentoftelevisioninthe20thcenturyandthediffusionofprintinginthe15thand16thcenturies.Yetmuchhadhappenedbetween)。我们要在以电视发展为标志的20世纪和以印刷术的传播为标志的15、16世纪之间做比较。但是,在这两个阶段之间又有许多发明出现了。从文章的头两句话可以读山本文探讨的主题是有关人类信息社会的发展过程,而且重点是讲述在20世纪和15、16世纪两个阶段之间发生的事情。文章结构分析:由于此篇文章讲述的主题是有关人类信息社会的发展过程,时间阶段就成为贯穿全文的一个重要线索。通过总结和比较这些时间阶段,可以很快掌握文章的结构为总分结构。英语知识运用分析:(61)空是考查名词的专业术语,主语newspaper显然是一种medium(媒体)。

    Appreciation.

    C

    Scorn.

    D

    Irony.


    正确答案: A

    观点态度的判断。在谈到20世纪早期英国的建筑师时,说话者提到“there were slightly batty architect-craftsmen…still trying to turn the clock back to before the Industrial Revolution by making chairs and spurning new technology”,可知在其他国家的建筑师尝试新材料时,英国一些有点古板的建筑师们却仍在制作椅子,并且对新科技表示唾弃,从而试图将时钟拨回到工业革命之前。由此可推测,说话者实际上在讽刺英国建筑师们没有创新精神,还停留在工业革命前的状态。故选D。

  • 第14题:


    What can be inferred from paragraph 1 about theatrical dance in the late nineteenth century?( )

    A.It influenced many artists outside of the field of dance.
    B.It was very similar to theatrical dance of the early nineteenth century.
    C.It was more a form of entertainment than a form of serious art.
    D.It was a relatively new art form in the United States.

    答案:C
    解析:
    推断题。根据题干关键词theatrical dance定位到文章第一段的第一句。该句意为“洛伊·富勒发现十九世纪末的剧场舞蹈在艺术上并没有什么成就”。第二句话中,她认为自己是一位艺术家,而不仅仅是一位娱乐性的演艺人员。A项“影响了许多舞蹈领域之外的艺术家”,偷换了原文主语,且“舞蹈领域之外”与原文不符。B项“与十九世纪初的戏剧舞蹈非常相似”,原文未做比较。D项“这在美国是一种相对较新的艺术形式”,原文未提及。因此C项“更像是一种娱乐形式而不是严肃的艺术形式”为正确推断。

    正确答案: B
    解析:
    事实细节的找寻和判断。说话者在谈到自己并不支持电子乐器的使用会毁掉古典音乐的观点时,指出“This…is not the first such revolution in musical history…”,由此可推测其后便是对另一次乐器变革的描述,其中提到“Remember we’ve already studied the similar case in the early l9th century when the piano replaced…”,其中the similar case对应题干中的关键词another significant change(另一次重要变革)。可见,在历史,乐器发生的另一次重大变革应该是在19世纪早期。故选项A为正确答案。
