第3题：
资料：Economic performance is improving in most of the world's leading economies but is still short of a self-sustaining upswing, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said on Wednesday.
In an update to its economic forecasts, the Paris-based international organisation representing advanced economies said that more private sector investment was needed for the expansion to endure, for wages to rise sustainability and for inequalities to be tackled.
Although all leading economies are now recording positive growth, Catherine Mann, the OECD's chief economist, urged governments to “curb your enthusiasm [ because] strong and sustained medium-term global growth is not yet secured”.
The OECD's economic outlook shows upgrades to the 2017 growth forecasts in China, Russia and Europe excluding the UK with the world outlook also appearing stronger in 2018.
World growth should rise from a low of 3.1 per cent in 2016, to 3.5 per cent this year and 3.7 per cent in 2018, the OECD forecast, with the US, the Eurozone, Brazil and Russia contributing most to the improved global outlook.
China's predicted growth rate of 6.8 per cent in 2017 and 6.6 per cent in 2018 has been revised higher by 0.2 percentage points in both years and although India's growth rate has been revised down, reflecting adjustment to its new goods and services tax, it is likely to remain the fastest growing large economy in the world.
Only the UK, which remains embroiled in Brexit negotiations, has a deteriorating outlook. Responding to the OECD's forecast that the British economy will be the slowest growing in the Group of Seven in 2018 having been near the top of the league table in 2016, the British Treasury said it was not complacent.
According to the passage,which one of the following statement is true？A.The Russia’s 2017 economic growth forecast has been revised higher.
B.The leading economies have achieved sustainable long-term growth.
C.The OECD is not optimistic about China's economic growth.
D.India's economic growth forecast have been upgraded.答案：A解析：本题考查细节理解。
【关键词】 which one of the following statement is true
【主题句】第3、4、6自然段.Although all leading economies are now recording positive growth, Catherine Mann, the OECD’s chief economist, urged governments to “curb your enthusiasm [ because] strong and sustained medium-term global growth is not yet secured”.尽管所有主要经济体如今都记录的正增长，但经合组织首席经济学家凯瑟琳?曼（Catherine Mann）敦促各国政府“抑制激情，（因为）强劲且持续的中期全球增长尚未得到保障”。
The OECD’s economic outlook shows upgrades to the 2017 growth forecasts in China, Russia and Europe excluding the UK with the world outlook also appearing stronger in 2018.经合组织在经济展望中，上调了对中国、俄罗斯和欧洲（除英国外）2017年的增长预测，2018年的全球经济前景似乎也更加强劲。
China’s predicted growth rate of 6.8 per cent in 2017 and 6.6 per cent in 2018 has been revised higher by 0.2 percentage points in both years and although India’s growth rate has been revised down, reflecting adjustment to its new goods and services tax, it is likely to remain the fastest growing large economy in the world.中国在2017年和2018年的预期增速分别达到和，分别被上调0.2个百分点。虽然印度的增长率遭到下调（反映根据该国新的商品及服务税作出的调整），但印度很可能仍是全球增长最快的大型经济体。
【解析】题干意为“下列哪一项是正确的？选项A意为“俄罗斯2017年经济增长预测被上调”；选项B意为“发达经济体已经获得长期可持续增长”；选项C 意为“经合组织对中国经济增长不乐观”；选项D意为“印度经济增长被上调”。根据主题句可知，选项B、C、D与题意不符，故选项A正确。 -

第5题：
问答题For a very long period of historical development, mankind could only pass on music through performance and oral instruction. When mankind invented musical scores, music started to break away from the boundaries of being merely a performing art, and develop into a system of “written symbols” that can be recorded and spread. Undoubtedly, however, it was the scientists who should be crowned as the founders of the real revolutionary milestone of human musical communication. Scientists invented marvelous means of music transmission, beginning from the earliest mechanical “record turntable” to today’s many kinds of “electronic media”.正确答案：
在一个极为漫长的历史阶段中,人类只能通过音乐表演和口授来传播音乐。当人类发明了乐谱后,音乐便开始脱离表演而演变成“文字”得以记录和传播。然而,人类音乐传播的真正革命性里程碑(milestone)的建立者无疑是科学家们。他们创造了令人叹为观止的音乐传播手段,从最早的机械“留声机”( milestone)到今天五花八门的“电子媒体”。解析： 暂无解析 -

第10题：
单选题Passage1The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play a significant role in the process of recovery from illness.As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries and into public places，some of the country's most talented artists have been called in to transform older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2，500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain，almost 100 now have significant collections of contemporary art in corridors，waiting areas and treatment rooms.These recent initiatives owe a great deal to one artist，Peter Senior，who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s.He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society，and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.A typical hospital waiting room might have as many as 500 visitors each week. What better place to hold regular exhibitions of art？Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the out-patients waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975.Believed to be Britain's first hospital artist, Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.The effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors, playful images and restful courtyards.The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.According to Peter Senior, _______.Aart is losing its audience in modern society
Bart galleries should be changed into hospitals
Cpatients should be encouraged to learn painting
Dart should be encouraged in British hospitals

第16题：
问答题Expressionism Expressionism is an art movement that produced a wealth of wonderful works of art, and the lives of the artists who created them were no less colorful and exciting. The word expressionism can be used to describe art from different times and places, most of them were part of a movement that took place in Germany from 1905 to 1920. They shared some of the beliefs. Those beliefs were that art should try to change society, to make it less conservative. It should express the energy of nature—following in the footsteps of Vincent van Gogh—-and personal feeling rather than simply representing nature. It should feel uncomfortable, which means it should challenge the traditional ways of looking at the world. This differed from the opinion of Henri Matisse who believed that art should be comfortable. Expressionist art should be inspired by folk art, and the art of what were then called primitive people, for example from Africa. The aim of the Expressionists was to express personal feeling about what they were painting rather than representing it exactly as it was. It should have strong colors and shapes, be relatively direct, untutored and unplanned and should still contain recognizable things, but not be realistic. The lines could be distorted, and the colors could be strengthened or changed as in the art movement that began in 1905 called Fauvism. Expressionism was more than a style in painting. It could be found in theatre and cinema, literature and architecture. It was a sharing of ideas and experiences across all these media. The life stories of the Expressionist artists show just how much they had in common. Many began by studying applied art, such as furniture design, often to please their parents. Although they later made more personal art, they continued to make use of those technical skills. Both art critics and the public received this new movement with derision and outrage. Expressionist artists were trying to shock by challenging the traditional, conservative views held by many people. Gradually, however, it became accepted and even admired. All the Expressionists were affected by World War I (1914-18). Some fled from Germany and spent the war years in exile. Some never returned to their homeland. Most served in the war and some were killed. At first some of them hoped a war would change society for the better but they were soon disillusioned when they saw the destruction and suffering that it caused. In the years after the war, many Expressionist artist revealed the horrors they experienced in their work. After World War I, Expressionism became very fashionable in Germany, where art was allowed to flourish. This freedom ended in 1933 when Hitler declared all Expressionists were degenerate. This led to them being sacked from their jobs or forced to leave Germany. In 1937 the Nazis took thousands of art works from German museums and put them in an enormous exhibition called the Degenerate Art Exhibition, to show how bad and decadent this art was. It presented a view of the world that went against their political and cultural ambitions to rid Germany of all inferior races.正确答案： 【参考译文】
表现主义 表现主义是20世纪初至30年代盛行于欧美一些国家的艺术流派。它首先出现于美术界,后来在音乐、文学、戏剧以及电影等领域得到重大发展。艺术家们从丰富多彩的现实生活中提取素材,创作了大量优秀的艺术作品。虽然表现主义涵盖的范围很广,但本书中所提到的这些表现主义画家是1905年至1920年间,活跃在德国表现主义运动的舞台上的那部分群体。书中其他被提及的作家,有的是用作品影响了这些画家的创作,有的与这些画家有着共同的创作理念。在理念上,表现主义强调反传统,表现主义画家对社会现状不满,要求变革。受凡·高艺术的影响,在创作上,他们不满足于对客观事物的摹写,要求进一步表现事物的内在实质,突破对人的行为和人所处的环境的描绘,揭示人的灵魂和内心的感情世界,以此来引起观众的强烈震撼和共鸣,它给人们提供了看待周围世界的全新视角。表现主义的这一创作观点与野兽派亨利·马蒂斯的观点很不一致,后者认为艺术应该能给人带来内心的祥和与平静,起到抚慰的作用。
表现主义画家在创作过程中改变了以往以写实为主的油画传统,注重通过作品来表达画家个人的真实情感。表现主义的创作受到民间艺术和原始艺术,如非洲艺术的启发。其作品大都色彩鲜艳,轮廓粗犷,虽然在其间也能看见具体的形象,但绝不写实。它们直接、纯朴、直觉地表达了画家的情感。与野兽派的技法较为相近,它擅长运用扭曲的线条或是粗犷的色彩轮廓。
表现主义的影响不仅仅局限于美术界,其创作理念在戏剧、电影、文学以及建筑领域中都有所体现。表现主义画家的生平也有着许多共同之处,比如为了讨好父母,他们大都从学习应用工艺美术起步,如家居设计等。尽管他们后来也有了自己个性化的创作,但这些实用技巧仍会在他们的作品中有所体现。因为试图通过这种新的创作方式向传统而保守的社会观念发起挑战,在出现之初,便受到艺术评论家的公然嘲笑,引起了公众的极度愤慨。不过,随着时代的变迁,它逐渐为人们所接受,甚至成为年轻人崇拜的对象。
第一次世界大战对表现主义画家影响很大。战争期间,他们有的逃离了德国,过着流亡的生活,有些从此就再也没能回去。他们中的大多数都参加了战争,有的在战斗中不幸牺牲。参战之初,他们对战争抱有幻想,期望它能使这个腐化的世界变得更美好,但是战争爆发后不久,这个幻想就破灭了。在亲眼目睹了无数的流血、牺牲、人们流离失所、痛苦挣扎的情景之后,这些画家的精神受到了极大的摧残,战后纷纷在作品中对当时所经历的恐惧和伤害进行了刻画。
一战结束后,百废待兴,表现主义也在德国风靡一时,成为主流艺术。1933年,希特勒上台,情况随之发生了变化。在表现主义作品中,希特勒看到了不利于德国当时所采取的种族灭绝政策的倾向,便宣布表现主义画家都是“堕落分子”。他们在德国社会中已无立足之地,纷纷失去了工作,被迫离开祖国。1937年,纳粹当局从德国博物馆搜罗出上千幅表现主义作品,并组织了一场名为“堕落艺术”的大型展览,以此来宣扬这种艺术形式的腐朽和败坏。解析： 暂无解析 -
