  • 第1题:

    Which of the following statements is NOT true?( )

    [A] Sales of contemporary art fell dramatically from 2007 to 2008.

    [B] The art market surpassed many other industries in momentum.

    [C] The art market generally went downward in various ways.

    [D] Some art dealers were awaiting better chances to come.


    正确答案:B
    下列哪一项表述是不正确的?
    [A]从2007年到2008年当代艺术品的销售急剧下滑。
    [B]艺术品市场在势头上超过了很多其他行业。
    [C]在整体上艺术品市场在很多方面下滑了。
    [D]一些艺术品交易者在等待更好时机的到来。
    答案解析:[B]事实细节题。文章第二段第一句提到了“momentum”,意为“势头”,即“世界艺术品市场已经有一段时间失去了它的发展势头”。本段最后一句提到“但是这个市场产生的利益远远超出它本身的规模,因为它可以把巨大的财富、膨胀的自我、贪婪、激情和争议以某种方式结合在一起,其他行业很少能与之媲美。”在这里,作者比较的是艺术品市场和其他行业在“把财富、自我、贪婪、激情和争议结合在一起”的方式方面,而不是发展的势头,[B]的论述张冠李戴,是错误的,故为答案。由文章第三段第三句可知[A]是正确的,[C]是全文的主题,有很多数据可以证明,而[D]在全文最后一段的最后一句可以找到明确表述,这三项都是正确的,故均排除。

  • 第2题:

    Text 4 Shortly after The Economist went to press,about 25,000 people were expected to rurn up at the London Art Fair.Your correspondent visited just before,as 128 white booths were being filled with modern paintings and sculptures.Dealers clutched mobile phones to their ears or gathered in small groups.They seemed nervous-as well they might be."I can eam a year's living in one fair,"said one harried dealer while stringing up a set oflights.Before 1999 London had just one regular contemporary art fair,remembers Will Ramsay,boss of the expanding Affordable Art Fair.This year around 20 will be held in Britain,mostly in the capitaL Roughly 90 will take place worldwide:The success of larger events such as Frieze,which started in London,has stimulated the growth of smaller fairs specialising in craft work,ceramics and other things.Art14,which started last year,specialises in less well-known intemational galleries,showing art from Sub-Saharan Africa,South Korea and Hong Kong.One explanation for the boom is the overall growth of the modern-art market.Four fifihs of all art sold at auction worldwide last year was from the 20th or 21st century,according to Artprice,a database.In November an auction in New York of modern and contemporary art made$691m(£422m),easily breaking the previous record.As older art becomes harder to buy-much ofit is locked up in museums-demand for recent works is rising.London's art market in particular has been boosted by an influx of rich immigrants from Russia,China and the Middle East."When I started 23 years ago I had not a single non-Western foreign buyer,"says Kenny Schachter,an art dealer."It's a different world now."And London's new rich buy arl differently.They ofien spend little time in the capital and do not know it well.Traipsing around individual galleries is inconvenient,particularly as galleries have moved out of central London.The mall-like set-up of a fair is much more suitable.Commercial galleries used to rely on regular visits from rich Britons seeking to fumish their stately homes.Many were family friends.The new art buyers have no such loyalty.People now visit galleries mainly to go to events and to be seen,says Alan Cristea,a gallery owner on Cork street in Mayfair.Fairs,and the parties that spring up around them,are much better places to be spotted.Some galleries are feeling squeezed.Bemard Jacobson runs a gallery opposite Mr Cristea.The changing art market reminds him ofwhen his father,a chemist,was eclipsed by Boots,a pharmaceutical chain,in the 1960s.Seven galleries in Cork Street relocated this month to make way for a redevelopment;five more may follow later this year.Yet the rise ofthe fairs means galleries no longer require prime real estate,thinks Sarah Monk of the London Art Fair.With an intemational clientele,many can work online or from home.Although some art fairs still require their exhibitors to have a gallery space,increasingly these are small places outside central London or beyond the city altogether.One gallery owner says few rich customers ever visit his shop in south London.He makes all his contacts at the booths he sets up at fairs,which might be twice the sizc of his store."It's a little like fishing:'he explains."You move to where the pike is."
    Which of the following is not true about art market according to Paragraphs 4 and 5?

    A.London's art market boosted favorite mainly from overseas.
    B.London's new rich often spend multiple times in the capital and do not know it.
    C.commercial galleries used to depend on regular from wealthy people.
    D.people in recent years visit galleries for events and parties.

    答案:B
    解析:
    事实细节题。题目只是说明对应的段落在第四段和第五段,解决此题目的关键在于通读段落之后找到四个选项在文章中的位置,题目中出现了否定词not.所以在做题的时候是必须注意的,在第四段中And London's new rich buy art differently.They often spend little time in the capital and do not know it well.(伦敦新富在购买艺术品的品位上有所不同。他们在成本方面所花费的时间较少,对此也就了解甚少。)B项则说明花费了较多的时间,意思刚好相反,故B项为正确选项。【干扰排除】剩余的三个选项在这两个段落中都有提及,故不选。

    Art fairs are expanding prosperously in that______.

    A.the cost ofholding an art fair becomes affordable
    B.cross-trade galleries take place worldwide
    C.contemporary art market is growing faster than before
    D.the rapid growth of the modern art market is mainly in developing countries

    答案:C
    解析:
    推理判断题。根据定位词我们可得知第二、三段都有提及,其中的第三段点明了题目中的原因,即One explanation for the boom is the overall growth of the modem-{ui market。(全球当代艺术市场的发展是艺术博览会快速发展的原因之一。)与这个信息相对应的选项为C项contemporary art market is growing faster than before“当代艺术市场发展速度比之前快”,故C项为正确选项。【干扰排除】A项affordable在第二段出现,即Affordable Art Fair,指平价艺术品展览会,但文中并未提及成本变平价。B项中的cross-trade是跨行业的意思,文中没有体现。D项在段落中没有体现,因此均排除。

  • 第15题:

    资料:之后,经济学家Mr.W谈了谈对中国的一些看法,请根据下列资料回答问题。
    China is an emerging economic giant with almost endless potential for business opportunities. Guan xi-meaning “connections” or “relationship”-is a Chinese way of doing business and is practically considered an art form there. It involves exchanging “favors” when you need something done. Many Chinese business people see it as a way to solidify relationships, get things done, and cultivate well-being.
    To Westerners, however, it often looks more like graft in the form of bribery, nepotism, gift giving, and kickbacks. Transparency international, a German-based corruption watchdog, ranks China along with India, Russia, Turkey, Malaysia, and South Africa as the countries with the most rampant corruption.
    However, China is cracking down by enacting stricter anticorruption laws and prosecuting violators. In 2007, China’s former director of the State Food and Drug Administration was executed for taking bribes.

    According to the passage, what is TRUE about Guan xi in the Chinese culture?( )

    A.It requires you to exchange favors to get things done.
    B.It is the art form of bribery in the business.
    C.It involves money and power.
    D.It means connections or relationship among family members.

    答案:A
    解析:
    本题考查的是细节理解。
    【关键词】Guan Xi; Chinese
    【主题句】
    Guan xi-meaning “connections” or “relationship”-is a Chinese way of doing business and is practically considered an art form there. It involves Exchanging “favors” when you need something done. Guan Xi的意思是“关联”或者“关系”,是中国人做生意的一种充满艺术的方式。指的是当你需要办一件事的时候,要交换“诚意”。
    【解析】本题问的是“根据文章,中国文化对于关系的解释哪一项是正确的?”。选项A意为“要办事首先要交换诚意。”;选项B意为“是商业贿赂的一种充满艺术的形式”;选项C意为“它包含钱与权”;选项D意为“它意味着家庭成员间的关系”。结合题意,综合关键句,故选A。
