第3题：
It is generally agreed that the first true cities appeared about 5,000 years ago in the food-producing communities of the Middle East． The cities of Sumeria, Egypt and the Indus Valley possessed a number of characteristics that distinguished them as truly urban． The cities were very much larger and more densely populated than any previous settlement, and their function wasclearly differentiated from that of the surrounding villages． In the cities the old patterns of kinship relations were replaced by a complex hierarchy of social classes based on the specialization of
labor． Moreover, the need to keep records led to the development of writing and arithmetic, and the increased sophistication of urban society gave a new impetus to artistic expression of every kind．
When the basis of city life was established in Europe the urban tradition was drawn from the ancient cities of the Middle East, via the civilization of Greece and Rome． We can trace three main phases in the growth of the West European city． The first of these is the medieval phase which extends from the beginning of the 1 lth century A．D． to about 1,500 to the beginning of the 19th century． The third is the modern phase extending from the early 19th century to the present day．
Every medieval city began as a small settlement, which grew up round a geographical or cultural focal point． This would be a permanent structure such as a stronghold, a cathedral or a large church． In districts where travel and trade were well established, it might be a market, a river crossing, or a place where two or more trade routes met, in studies of urban geography the oldest part of town is referred to as the nuclear settlement． There are many small towns in Europe where it is still possible to trace the outline of the original nuclear settlement． It is, of course,
much more difficult to do this in the case if a large modern city which has grown to many times its original size．
The ancient cities were characterized by all the following except__________．A.larger populations
B.different roles
C.different social classes
D.different locations答案：D解析：根据题干关键词定位到第一段。第一段中的第三句和第四句分别提到了人口、不同的角色和不同的社会阶层。而文中始终没有提及不同的位置，故选D。 -

Houses in 18th Century North America
Seventeenth-century houses in colonial North America were simple structures that were primarily functional,carrying over traditional designs that went back to the Middle Ages.During the first half of the eighteenth century,however,houses began to show a new elegance.As wealth increased, more and more colonists built fine houses.
Since architecture was not yet a specialized profession in the colonies,the design of buildings was left either to amateur designers or to carpenters who undertook to interpret architectural manuals imported from England.Inventories of colonial libraries show an astonishing number of these handbooks for builders,and the houses erected during the eighteenth century show their influence.Nevertheless,most domestic architecture of the first three-quarters of the eighteenth century displays a wide divergence of taste and freedom of application of the rules laid down in these books.
Increasing wealth and growing sophistication throughout the colonies resulted in houses of improved design,whether the material was wood,stone or brick.New England still favored wood, though brick houses became common in Boston and towns, where the danger of fire gave an impetus to the use of more durable material. A few houses in New England were built of store,but only in Pennsylvania and adjacent area was stone widely used in dwellings.An increased use of brick in houses and outbuildings is noticeable in Virginia and Maryland,but wood remained the most popular material even in houses built by wealthy landowners.In the Carolinas,even in closely packed Charleston,wooden houses were much more common than brick.
Eighteenth-century houses showed great interior improvement over their predecessors.Windows were made larger and shutters removed.Large,clear panes replaced the small leaded glass of the seventeenth century.Doorways were larger and more decorative.Fireplaces became decorative features of rooms.Walls were made of plaster or wood,sometimes elaborately paneled.White paint began to take the place of blues,yellows,greens,and lead colors,which had been popular for walls in the earlier years.After about 1730,advertisements for wallpaper styles in scenic patterns began to appear in colonial newspapers.What does the passage mainly discuss?
A:The improved design of eighteenth-century colonial houses.
B:A comparison of eighteenth-century houses and modern houses.
C:The decorations used in eighteenth-century houses.
D:The role of carpenters in building eighteenth-century houses.答案：A解析：根据文章第一段中第二句“During the first half of the eighteenth century, however , houses began to show a new elegance."（然而在18世纪前半叶，房屋开始显示出新的优稚风格。），可知本文要讨论的是18世纪殖民地房屋的设计改进。故选项A为正确答案。
根据第二段首句“Since architecture was not yet a specialized profession in the colonies,the design of buildings was left either to amateur designers or to carpenters who under-took to interpret architectural manuals imported from England."（由于建筑在殖民地还不是一项专奋门的职业，房屋设计或者由业余设计者来做，或者由那些翻译英国进口建筑手册的木匠来做），可知在18世纪的北美，木匠负责设计房屋。故正确答案为选项D。
根据文中第三段第四、五句“An increased use of brick in houses and outbuildings is noticeable in Virginia and Maryland,but wood remained the most popular material even in houses built by wealthy landowners.In the Carolinas,even in closely packed Charleston,wooden houses were much more common than brick."（在弗吉尼亚和马里兰，人们在房屋和外屋的建造上明显越来越喜欢使用砖料，但甚至在富有的土地主建造的房屋里面，木料仍然是最流行的材料。在南北卡罗来纳州，甚至在拥挤的查理斯顿，木制房屋也比砖房要普遍），可知正确答案为选项B。
根据第四段第一句“Eighteenth-century houses showed great interior improvement over their predecessors.”可以看出文章是拿18世纪的房屋和“their predecessors”相比较，但从句子意思上看，肯定是与18世纪以前建造的房屋相比较。故正确答案为选项B。
文中最后一句话“After about 1730 , advertisements for wallpaper styles in scenic patterns began to appear in colonial newspapers."（大概1730年后，殖民地报纸上开始出现了风景画形式的壁纸风格广告），言外之意就是，在此之前这种风景画式的壁纸还没有广泛使用。故正确答案为选项C。 -
第5题：

A:colonists who arrived in North America in the seventeenth century
B:houses constructed before the eighteenth-century
C:interior improvements
D:wooden houses in Charleston答案：B解析：根据文章第一段中第二句“During the first half of the eighteenth century, however , houses began to show a new elegance."（然而在18世纪前半叶，房屋开始显示出新的优稚风格。），可知本文要讨论的是18世纪殖民地房屋的设计改进。故选项A为正确答案。

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。 -

1.nothing改为“everything” 属逻辑错误。根据上下文,此句意为“美国农场主能够生产出家庭所需的一切东西”所以句子的含义是肯定的。
2.because改为although/though 此句是让步状语从句,并非因果关系。
3.nineteen改为 nineteenth 世纪前面应用序数词修饰。
4.that 改为what 名词性that从句不可以直接跟在介词后面作宾语,应该为what。
5.arouse改为rose/arose/got up arouse是及物动词,意为“叫醒、唤醒”,在此处可改为rise,arise或get up,三者都表示自己醒来。
6.like改为as或being 此处意为 “作为力量的主要来源”,所以应用as或being,而不能用like,like作介词意为“像”。
7.complicated改为simple 属逻辑错误。根据上下文,此处谈论十七世纪的牧场生活,当时的劳动工具并不复杂,相反,有许多简单工具,如上文提到的斧子和铲子。
8.√
9.to that改为to which 关系代词which可放在介词之后引导定语从句,而that则不行,这是它们的主要区别之一。
10.去掉not 属逻辑错误。本句是说由于学期短,所以孩子们能在农场帮忙。解析： 暂无解析 -
