第1题：
Text 2 The contempt of artists for critics is,of course,understandable.To create an artwork is to give the world a kind of gift,and no one likes having a gifi rejected,or even inspected too carefully.In a sense,artists who condemn criticism are relying on the old idea that"it's the thought that counts":Because the intention of the giver is generous and pure,any criticizing about the gift is cruelly small-minded.Yet as anyone who has received an ill-fitting or unsuitable gift knows,the thought is not the only thing that counts.Once a work of art emerges from its creator's study or studio,it becomes the possession of anyone who interacts with it,and therefore it is open to judgment:Do I actually derive pleasure and enlightenment from it?There is no way to evade this question,which is the foundation of all criticism.Every reader or viewer or listener asks it,whether they want to or not.A critic is just a reader or viewer or listener who makes the question explicit and tries to answer it publicly,for the benefit of other potential readers or viewers or listeners.No one gets to be president without wanting to write his or her name in large letters on the American psyche,but most presidents at least gesture in the direction of humility and public service.President Trump,however,has never been anything but straightforward about his egotism.He made his reputation in real estate by splashing his name in gold on almost every structure he built;now he hangs a map of his electoral victory on the White House wall.When the terms of his achievement are so personal,how could criticism fail to strike him as an egoistic injury?There is a danger when we see criticism as nothing but an expression of resentment.For in politics,as in art,the right to criticize is really the right to make an independent judgment of reality.Democracy relies on a citizenry informed and active enough to make such judgments;in a democracy,we are all critics.How to live with criticism is perhaps the hardest lesson that a liberal democracy teaches its citizens.No one really welcomes it,neither the left nor the right."If we are free to loathe Trump,xve are free to loathe his most loyal voters,"wrote Frank Rich in New York magazine in March.But as soon as our critics become our enemies-voices to be silenced and dismissed,rather than listened to-we have left the realm of politics behind 26.According to Paragraph l,the artists condemn critics becauseA.critics always rejected their gifts.
B.artists'works should not be inspected.
C.artists stick to old traditions.
D.artists think nothing but thought is important.答案：D解析：事实细节题。第一段第三句提到“在某种意义上，艺术家谴责批评是基于这样一个古老的思想：‘其中蕴含的思想才是最重要的。”’故选D项。【干扰排除】A项“批评家总是拒绝他们的礼物”，过于绝对，文中只是说“没有人希望礼物遭到拒绝”，并不能推出批评家总是拒绝艺术家的礼物，故排除；B项“艺术家的作品不应当被检查”，第一段第二句提到“创造一个艺术品是给世界带来一件礼物……更不希望其受到过于苛刻的检查”，而非作品不应当被检查，故排除；C项“艺术家坚持旧传统”，文中提到艺术家基于一种古老的思想，并没有提到艺术家坚持旧传统，故排除。 -

第17题：
单选题What is true about Dolly according to the text?AShe was a lonely sheep in the first place.
BShe was manufactured out of the lab.
CShe was cloned from the cell of a mature sheep.
DShe was replaced by cloned piglets in terms of importance.
正确答案： D解析：
细节理解题。根据题干中的名字定位到第一段首句“Dolly was once an awfully lonely sheep.” ，由此可知，多利曾经是一只孤单的绵羊，但并没交代是什么阶段，A选项中的in the first place意为“起初，首先”，与文意不符；该段第二句提到“…she was the only mammal ever to be manufactured from the cell of an adult donor”，即多利是唯一一只由原体提取的细胞培养而成的哺乳动物，不能推出它是完全依靠实验室制造出来的，故B选项错误；mature sleep是adult donor的同义转述，故C选项为正确答案；文章最后一句话提到“For the present，even a little new transplant material is a big improvement over what’s available…”，即即使是一个细微的新的移植物在已有的技术基础上都将是一个重大的进步，两者都体现了科技的进步，没有将其重要性进行比较，故D选项错误。 -
