    正确答案:A
    57.A该题为细节题。根据第一段第六和七句“He merely had the frank- ness and courage to write down. what everybody was tlunking and what everybody knew.”“He merely gives us the impressions he had received from a long and intimate intercourse with princes and the affairs of state.”可知,作者认为马基雅维利只是够坦白、有勇气将每个人所想的和所知道的写下来而已;他所告诉我们的是他和君主的长期亲密接触过程中以及国家事务中所留下的印象。接着作者引用培根的话“马基雅维利告诉我们君主所做的事,而不是他们应该做的事。”由此可知,作者和培根的观点一致,都认为 2010年9月笔试真卷参考答案及精析第10页(共12页)马基雅维利只是讲述了君主实际上所做的事,可以推断出作者引用培根的话为了进一步支持自己的观点,故选A。

  • 第14题:

    [A] a dangerous moment

    [B] the last decision

    [C] the crucial point

    [D] a brave engagement


    正确答案:C
    本题考查词义理解。crisis一词出现在全文最后一句。该句指出它是一个点(point)。由其上文即倒数第二句可知,在这个点上主人公会完成一个行为或者做出一个决定,这个决定必然使他进入进一步发展轨迹(造成某些一般结果的点)。可见,crisis指的是戏剧中决定情节发展的关键性的转折点,而不是“时刻”、“决定”或“约定”。[C]正确。

  • 第15题:

    [B]当代的(流行)趋势
    [C]促进艺术品循环的因素
    [D]代表印象派的风格
    答案解析:[C]推理判断题。文章最后一段第三句“The three Ds—death,debt and divorce—still deliver works of art to the market.”提到“三个D一一死亡,债务和离婚,依然为市场提供艺术作品。”紧接着下一句指出,“But anyone who does not have to sell is keeping away,waiting for confidence to return.”即“但那些并非必须卖作品的人就一直远离着市场,等待信心的回归。”可见,三个D(死亡,债务和离婚),是促进艺术品进入市场循环的因素,故选[C]。[A]、[B]和[D]都不符合题意,均排除。

    解析:
    推理题。从文章最后一段“Down-town arrests have gone from 490 in April-September 2001 to 94l during the same period in 2002”可知,在市区抓捕到的罪犯从2001年4月至9月之间的490人上升到了2002年同期的941人,由此可知,该措施的实施取得了成功。B项是对最后一段的推理引申,符合题意。A项张冠李戴,抓捕到的罪犯人数上升与交通系统的效率不是一个概念;C项无中生有;D项事实与原文相反,属于语意矛盾。
