  • 第1题:

    According to the author ,a politician's morality

    [A] is no match for his political ambition.

    [B] has been undervalued by Machiavelli and his likes.

    [C] is usually of secondary importance.

    [D] should be taken as a yardstick of his capability


    正确答案:C
    59.C该题为细节题。根据第一段倒数第四句,“What is good politics may be bad morals, and in fact, by a strange fatality,where mor- als and politics clash, the latter generally gets the upper hand.”可知作者认为政治上的好事从道德方面看可能是坏事,事实上,很奇怪的是当道德和政治发生冲突时,往往后者会占据上风。即作者认为对于政治家来说道德往往置于政治之后,处于第二位,故选C。

  • 第4题:

    The phrase "his pen" is pronounced as_________in real speech.


    答案:B
    解析:
    考查同化规则。在英语中,“擦音和塞擦音”的带声性受其后辅音带声与否的影响。后面的不带声音会影响前面的带声音,发生清音化。his原来读作/hiz/,pen读作/pen/,而在正常连贯的言语中,读作/his pen/。故选B。

  • 第9题:

    单选题
    The “Mozart problem”, as defined by the author, is that.
    A

    it is difficult to understand Mozart’s letters and his music

    B

    there is little connection between his personality and his music

    C

    Mozart gave us nothing of a clue about his music in his letters

    D

    his music is quite different from that of Beethoven or Wagner


    正确答案: A
    解析:
    推断题。第四段第一句提到了Mozart Problem,指出“这就是我所说的因此Mozart Problem…”,可知Mozart Problem应在前文提及。第三段第一句提到“你无法明白驱动他的动力是什么,也无法理解从他体内呼之而出的乐曲”。接下来一句指出“at any rate useless, to seek for internal ones either”,可知人们难以从莫扎特的作品中寻求其动力,也无法将他的作品和他的性格联系起来。因此选B。
