Which C. whose D. what ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查非限定性定语从句。句意：越来越多的人喜欢住在农村，农村对人们的吸引力在于安静和慢节奏的生活。分析句子结构可知，此处为非限定性定语从句，先行词是the countryside，从句中不缺主语和宾语，缺少定语，故C项正确。‎ ‎7._____ his conclusion on the evidence he collected on the spot, he proved that the murderer was ‎ guilty.‎ A. Based B. Basing C. To base D. Being based ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：根据他当场搜集证据得出的结论，证明凶手是有罪的。base…on意为“以……为依据”，base的逻辑主语是句子的主语he，它们之间存在主动关系，所以应该用base的现在分词形式basing，在句子中做方式状语。故选B项。‎ ‎【点睛】现在分词作状语，通常表示主语正在进行的另一个动作，用来对谓语动词表示的动作加以解释或说明，它可以表示时间、原因、结果、条件、让步、方式或伴随状语，相当于相对应的状语从句；现在分词做状语，它与逻辑主语（即句子的主语）之间存在主动关系。本题中base的逻辑主语是句子的主语he，它们之间存在主动关系，所以应该用base的现在分词形式basing，在句子中做方式状语。故选B项。‎ ‎8.The exchange student from Kenya often shares with us the news of his country and ____of his neighbouring countries.‎ A. those B. that C. it D. the one ‎【答案】B ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查代词。句意：来自肯尼亚的交换生经常与我们分享他的国家和邻国的新闻。the news为不可数名词，用that 来代指，不可以用the one。故选B。‎ ‎9.The science competition is a good opportunity to show students _____ creativity can add new value to their school life.‎ A. where B. whether C. how D. when ‎【答案】C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【详解】考查宾语从句。句意：这个科技竞赛是一个很好的可以向学生展示创新是怎样能给校园生活增加新价值的机会。A. where在……的地方；B. whether是否；C. how如何；D. when当……的时候。此处应使用how引导，表示方式。故选C。‎ ‎10.

But the moment he saw me, instead of trying to avoid me, he came straight across the road as I drew level with the jeweler’s. Halfway across he began addressing me: “I thought you were going to…” — but his voice trailed away as he received no reply and no sign of recognition from me. It was quite obvious that he had mistaken me for someone else. But he started up again as if nothing had happened．“Good morning, ” he said．“Nice to bump into someone so early. Someone to talk to. I’ve taken to talking to myself on this job.”‎ I hate meeting people when I’m out early, and I was almost out of breath, so I just paused in my stride, nodded in a friendly manner, and went on up the road. The stranger had spoken quietly, and quite slowly. And I had noticed that he was well dressed, too. But if he looked suspicious dressed like that at that time of the morning, what about me? I was in a track suit, with an old sweater round my shoulders and a cap on my head．As to his odd remark about “talking to himself on this job”, I hadn’t paid any attention to it, although now it began to worry me. Was he perhaps a plain clothes policeman? At the time I somehow felt he was.‎ I had just turned the corner into the High Street when I heard the sound of breaking glass somewhere behind me, and I thought the sound came from the street I had just left. I stopped dead and almost without thinking looked back around the corner. The stranger was not there, but almost immediately an alarm bell in the jeweler’s began ringing furiously.‎ I found out later that a burglar had broken into the jeweler’s shop and stolen watches and rings worth about ￡5,000. The police are still looking into the matter, but I’m afraid to go and tell them what I know now because they might even suspect me of committing the crime, and it might be difficult for me to prove my innocence. After all, I haven’t offered my assistance as a witness, and the only other person around that morning was the “stranger” who had spoken to me.‎ ‎40. From the passage we can infer that the author _____.‎ A. always goes past the jeweler’s B. didn’t like talking to the strangers C. meets a few people every morning D. saw a plain clothes policeman that morning ‎41. Why did the stranger talk to the author?‎ A. Because the stranger took the author as someone else.‎ B. Because the stranger loved talking to people.‎ C. Because the stranger recognized the writer.‎ D. Because the stranger took a job of talking to himself.‎ ‎42. Why did the stranger seem suspicious?‎ A. He was about to go into the jeweler’s.‎ B. He was far too friendly.‎ C. He was dressed too well for that time.‎ D. He talked to himself a lot.‎ ‎43. If the writer had been on the spot, _____.‎ A. he might have been badly injured B. he would have seen what happened C. he wouldn’t have heard the alarm bell D. the stranger wouldn’t have broken the window ‎44. What idea does the author convey in the last paragraph?‎ A. he thinks the stranger is innocent B. the burglar didn’t steal very much C. he might commit the crime to the police D. he hesitates whether to report to the police about what he knew ‎【答案】40. B 41. A 42. C 43. D 44. D ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者晨跑时，碰到一个行为装扮怪异的人，这个人可能是砸珠宝店的罪犯，但作者因为没有证据，所以不敢去报警。‎ ‎【40题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段中I hate meeting people when I’m out early, and I was almost out of breath, so I just paused in my stride, nodded in a friendly manner, and went on up the road. (我不喜欢在大清早出门的时候见人，我几乎喘不过气来，所以我只是大踏步暂停了一下，友好地点了点头，然后继续走路。) 可推断出，作者不喜欢跟陌生人讲话。B. didn’t like talking to the strangers. (不喜欢和陌生人讲话。) 符合题意。故选B项。‎ ‎【41题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段中It was quite obvious that he had mistaken me for someone else. (很明显，他把我错当成别人了。)可知，这个陌生人认错人了。A. Because the stranger took the author as someone else. (因为那个陌生人把作者当成了别人。) 符合题意。故选A项。‎ ‎【42题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段中“And I had noticed that he was well dressed, too. But if he looked suspicious dressed like that at that time of the morning,”(我注意到他也穿得很好，但如果他早上那个时候穿成那样看起来很可疑，那我呢?) 可推知，那个陌生人是因为穿着而显得可疑。C. He was dressed too well for that time. (他那时候穿得太讲究了。) 符合题意。故选C项。‎ ‎【43题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据这道题中If the writer had been on the spot (如果作者当时在现场)，可知，这是由If引导的虚拟条件句，had been为谓语动词，时态为过去完成时，可知这是对过去的事情的假设。根据常识，犯罪活动一般发生在没有其他人的情况，因为那样会留下证人，所以假如作者当时在珠宝店那里，那个陌生人应该不会砸窗户。故选D项。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段中and it might be difficult for me to prove my innocence. After all, I haven’t offered my assistance as a witness, and the only other person around that morning was the “stranger” who had spoken to me. (要证明我的清白可能很难。毕竟，我没有作为目击者提供帮助，那天早上周围唯一的另一个人就是和我说话的“陌生人”。) 可知，作者没有去报警，因为他无法提供有力的证据证明那个陌生人就是罪犯，反而可能会让他自己成为嫌疑犯，所以他犹豫了。D. he hesitates whether to report to the police about what he knew (他犹豫是否要向警方报告他所知道的情况) 符合题意。故选D项。‎ C I have had just about enough of being treated like a second-class citizen, simply because I happened to be that put-upon member of society ― a customer. The more I go into shops and hotels,‎ ‎ banks and post offices, railway stations, airports and the like, the more I’m convinced that things are being run just to suit the firm, the system, or the union. There seems to be a new motto for the so-called “service” organization ― Staff Before Service. How often, for example, have you queued for what seems like hours at the Post Office or the supermarket because there aren’t enough staff on duty at all the service counters? Surely in these days of high unemployment it must be possible to increase counter staff. Yet supermarkets, hinting darkly at higher prices, claim that bringing all their cash registers into operation at any time would increase expenses. And the Post Office says we cannot expect all their service counters to be occupied “at times when demand is low”.‎ It’s the same with hotels. Because waiters and kitchen staff must finish when it suits them, dining rooms close earlier or menu choice is lowered. As for us guests (and how the meaning of that word has been cut away little by little.), we just have to put up with it. There’s also the nonsense of so many friendly hotel night porters having been gradually withdrawn from service in the interests of “efficiency” (i.e. profits) and replaced by coin-eating machines which supply everything from beer to medicine, not to mention the creeping（慢慢加剧的） threat of the tea-making set in your room: a kettle with teabags, milk bags and sugar. Who wants to wake up to a raw teabag? I don’t, especially when I am paying for “service”.‎ Our only hope is to repeat our anger whenever and wherever we can and, if all else fails, restore that other, older saying ― Take Our Custom（买卖） Elsewhere.‎ ‎45 The author feels that nowadays customers are _____.‎ A. not provided with proper service B. considered to be lower members of society C. not worthy of special treatment D. regarded as privileged ‎46. In the author’s opinion, the quality of service is changing because _____.‎ A. more consideration is given to the staff than customers B. customers are becoming more demanding C. customers are unwilling to be satisfied with D. the staff are less considerate than employers ‎47. According to the author, long queues at counters are caused by _____.‎ A. deliberate（故意的）understaffing B. lack of cooperation among staff C. the reducing supply of good staff D. inefficient staff ‎48. The disappearance of old-style hotel porters can be attributed to the fact that _____.‎ A. the personal touch is less appreciated nowadays B few people are willing to do this type of work C. machines are more reliable than human beings D. self-service provides a cheaper alternative ‎49. The author’s final solution to the problem discussed in the passage is _____.‎ A. to put up with whatever service is provided B. to fully use all kinds of coin-eating machines C. to make strong complaints wherever necessary D. to go where good service is available ‎【答案】45. A 46. A 47. A 48. D 49. D ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇议论文。文章作者首先指出在很多服务行业里，消费者得不到适当的服务，这归咎于这些行业把利益看的很高，不愿投入更多的人力成本，最后作者给出建议，如果在一个地方得不到好的服务，就换个更好的地方。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第一段中I have had just about enough of being treated like a second-class citizen, simply because I happened to be that put-upon member of society ― a customer. (我已经受够了被当作二等公民的待遇，仅仅因为我碰巧是那个被社会欺骗的成员——一个顾客。)可知，作者作为消费者时，觉得自己是个二等公民，说明消费者没有被很好的对待。A. not provided with proper service (没有提供适当的服务) 符合题意。故选A项。‎ ‎【46题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段中The more I go into shops and hotels, banks and post offices, railway stations, airports and the like, the more I’m convinced that things are being run just to suit the firm, the system, or the union. There seems to be a new motto for the so-called “service” organization ― Staff Before Service. (‎ 我越是走进商店、旅馆、银行、邮局、火车站、机场等地，就越是确信，这些东西只是为了公司、系统或工会的利益而运行的。对于所谓的“服务”组织来说，似乎有一个新的座右铭——员工先于服务。)可知，在商场、酒店、银行等行业里，作者的体会这些行业把员工作为第一考虑要素，而顾客就相对于没有那么重要了。A. more consideration is given to the staff than customers (考虑更多的是顾客，而不是员工) 符合题意。故选A项。‎ ‎【47题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段中How often, for example, have you queued for what seems like hours at the Post Office or the supermarket because there aren’t enough staff on duty at all the service counters? (例如，你有多少次在邮局或超市排了几个小时的队，因为所有的服务台都没有足够的工作人员值班?) 可知，人们在商场等出现排队现象，就是因为这些行业里没有配备足够的员工。A. deliberate（故意的）understaffing (故意没有配备足够的人员) 符合题意。故选A项。‎ ‎【48题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段中There’s also the nonsense of so many friendly hotel night porters having been gradually withdrawn from service in the interests of “efficiency” (i.e. profits) and replaced by coin-eating machines which supply everything from beer to medicine. (还有这么多友好的酒店夜班行李员被公司因为“效率”(即利润)而解雇，取而代之的是提供从啤酒到药品等一切东西的吃硬币的机器。) 可推测，酒店用投币器来取代酒店的夜班服务员，那是因为投币器对于酒店来说成本更少。D. self-service provides a cheaper alternative (自助服务提供了一种更便宜的选择) 符合题意。故选D项。‎ ‎【49题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段Our only hope is to repeat our anger whenever and wherever we can and, if all else fails, restore that other, older saying ― Take Our Custom（买卖） Elsewhere. (我们唯一的希望就是随时随地重复我们的愤怒，如果其他所有的都失败了，那就回复到另一个，俗话说-换个地方。) 可推测出，作者认为在某些地方没有得到相应的服务，那么消费者就会到别的地方去消费。D. to go where good service is available (去有优质服务的地方) 符合题意。故选D项。‎ D A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics, and wars. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities ‎ of our ancestors ― or of people very different from our own ― can be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than what can be found in most history books.‎ In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented: that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Franciso Goya was perhaps the first truly political artist. In his well-known painting The Third of May, 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picasso’s Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clements Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros ― as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martinez ― showed these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness about social problems.‎ In the same way, art can reflect a culture’s religious beliefs. Four hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn’t read, they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic（伊斯兰教的）belief that statues are unholy（不神圣的；亵渎的）.‎ ‎50. Which of the following sentences is WRONG according to the passage?‎ A. Art history concentrates on religious beliefs, emotions and psychology only.‎ B. Art can provide information about the everyday activities of ancient people.‎ C. Information and facts about politics are given objectively in history.‎ D. Franciso Goya was perhaps the first truly political artist.‎ ‎51. History books are objective because _____.‎ A. personal and emotional opinions are expressed through it B. it will make the viewers angry and sad about history C. it can help us understand historical facts better D. opinions about facts are not expressed ‎52. The two pictures The Third of May, 1808 and Guernica mentioned in paragraph 2 show that _____.‎ A. art is subjective B. artists are very similar even over a hundred years C. art can reflect political life of a country D. history books present objective information ‎53. In paragraph 2, the underlined “another continent” refers to _____.‎ A. Europe B. America C. Mexico D. Middle East ‎54. The passage is mainly discussing _____.‎ A. the difference between general history and art history B. the development of art history C. the influence of artists on art history D. what we can learn from art ‎55. It may be concluded from this passage that _____.‎ A. Islamic artists focus on creating architectural decorations with pictures of flowers or geometric (几何) forms B. history teachers are more objective than artists C. it is more difficult to study art history than general history D. people and stories from the Bible were painted on churches and other buildings in order to popularize the Bible ‎【答案】50. A 51. D 52. A 53. B 54. D 55. A ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了解艺术史比上历史课能更好的了解一种文化，因为艺术作品中倾注了创作人的思想情感，可以更好地反映某个特定时期的历史以及某个特定地域的文化。‎ ‎【50题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段中But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology. (但艺术史关注的远不止这些，因为艺术不仅反映了一个民族的政治价值观，而且还反映了宗教信仰、情感和心理。)‎ 可知，艺术史既反映了一个民族的政治价值观，也反映了宗教信仰、情感和心理。A. Art history concentrates on religious beliefs, emotions and psychology only. (艺术史只关注宗教信仰、情感和心理。) 符合题意。故选A项。‎ ‎【51题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段中In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented: that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. (在历史书中，关于一个国家政治生活的客观信息被呈现出来：也就是说，给出了政治事实，但是观点没有被表达出来。) 可知，历史书只呈现客观历史事件，不会表达感情。D. opinions about facts are not expressed (观点不会被表达出来。) 符合题意。故选D项。‎ ‎【52题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段中Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions.( 另一方面，艺术是主观的:它反映情感和观点。) 可知，艺术是主观的。然后作者用一些例子来支持自己的观点，包括The Third of May, 1808 and Guernica这两个作品，所以可以推测，作者举这两个例子，就是为了证明艺术是主观的。A. art is subjective (艺术是主观的) 符合题意。故选A项。‎ ‎【53题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据第二段中Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clements Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros ― as well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martinez ― showed these Mexican artists’ deep anger and sadness about social problems. (与此同时，在另一个大陆上，Diego Rivera, Jose Clements Orozco, and David Alfaro Siqueiros他们这些大师的作品，以及Alfredo Ramos Martinez的作品，展示了这些墨西哥艺术家对社会问题的深深愤怒和悲伤。) 可知，这些墨西哥艺术家指就是来自于another continent的艺术家们，所以another continent指的是美洲。此题的干扰项是C. Mexico，但墨西哥是个国家，不是洲。故选B项。‎ ‎【54题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据第一段中A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general classes. (学习艺术史可能是了解一种文化的好方法，比在一般课堂上学到的要多。) 可知，文章开篇点名主题，所以本文主要讲述了我们可以从艺术中学到什么。D. what we can learn from art. (我们可以从艺术中学到什么。) 符合题意。故选D项。‎ ‎【55题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段中By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East ‎ was (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic（伊斯兰教的）belief that statues are unholy（不神圣的；亵渎的）.(相比之下，中东艺术的主要特征之一是，现在仍然是，缺少人类和动物的形象。这反映了伊斯兰教徒认为，雕像是邪恶的。) 可推测出，伊斯兰教徒们因为信仰，所以很少画人类和动物，所以转而用花卉等艺术形象进行创作。A. Islamic artists focus on creating architectural decorations with pictures of flowers or geometric (几何) forms. (伊斯兰艺术家专注于开发建筑装饰与鲜花的照片或几何形式) 符合题意。故选A项。‎ ‎【点睛】概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，记叙文寻找概括情节和中心的动词或反映人物特点的形容词，说明文就去看文章的中心话题)。文中出现两种或两种以上的不同观点时，务必牢记作者的观点才是体现全文中心的。如第4小题，文章开篇点名主题，所以本文主要讲述了我们可以从艺术中学到什么。D. what we can learn from art. (我们可以从艺术中学到什么。)故选D项。‎
