词义辨析【直击答案】本空格所在句是But it was still possible to vaccinate people in other highrisk groups:health care workers,people 20 infants and healthy young people.句子主干意为,但是对其他高危人群接种该疫苗仍是可行的,后面具体列举了这些人群的身份。由给出的四个选项可推出,所需填入词是动词的分词形式作后置定语。B项caring for“照顾,关心”与此处前面的care构成同义复现,故为正确选项,即照顾婴儿的人们。【命题思路】本题考查考生对动词和动词短语的辨析,同时也考查考生对上下文信息的理解。【干扰排除】C项concerned with“关心,关注”是强干扰项,其含义和B项有一定相似之处,但没有照顾之意,故排除。

Text 1 The longest bull run in a century of artmarket history ended on a dramatic note with a sale of 56 works by Damien Hirst,Beautiful Inside My Head Forever,at Sotheby's in London on September 15th,2008.All but two pieces sold,fetching more than£70m,a record for a sale by a single artist.It was a last victory.As the auctioneer called out bids,in New York one of the oldest banks on Wall Street,Lehman Brothers,filed for bankruptcy.The world art market had already been losing momentum for a while after rising bewilderingly since 2003.At its peak in 2007 it was worth some$65 billion,reckons Clare McAndrew,founder of Arts Economics,a research firm—double the figure five years earlier.Since then it may have come down to$50 billion.But the market generates interest far beyond its size because it brings together great wealth,enormous egos,greed,passion and controversy in a way matched by few other industries.In the weeks and months that followed Mr Hirst's sale,spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable.In the art world that meant collectors stayed away from galleries and salerooms.Sales of contemporary art fell by twothirds,and in the most overheated sector,they were down by nearly 90%in the year to November 2008.Within weeks the world's two biggest auction houses,Sotheby's and Christie's,had to pay out nearly$200m in guarantees to clients who had placed works for sale with them.The current downturn in the art market is the worst since the Japanese stopped buying Impressionists at the end of 1989.This time experts reckon that prices are about 40%down on their peak on average,though some have been far more fluctuant.But Edward Dolman,Christie's chief executive,says:“I'm pretty confident we're at the bottom.”What makes this slump different from the last,he says,is that there are still buyers in the market.Almost everyone who was interviewed for this special report said that the biggest problem at the moment is not a lack of demand but a lack of good work to sell.The three Ds—death,debt and divorce—still deliver works of art to the market.But anyone who does not have to sell is keeping away,waiting for confidence to return.

Which of the following statements is NOT true?

正确答案:B

本题解析:

细节题【命题思路】这是一道反向提问的开放性细节题。第一需要选错误的,第二需要全文寻找答案。比较快捷的办法是,在阅读文章时做关键词的记号,以便解题时定位。【直击答案】根据B项的内容定位到第二段第一句话“The world art market had…since 2003.”意为:世界艺术品市场自2003年经历了急速攀升后的一段时间以来逐步失去了发展动力,即作者表明,艺术品市场越来越不景气。显然,B项与原文表达意思相反,因此为正确答案。【干扰排除】根据A项提供的具体年代定位到第三段第三句话“Sales of contemporary art fell…November 2008.”意为:当代艺术品的销售量下降了三分之二,最热门的艺术品销售在2008年11月份降幅高达近百分之九十,与A项相一致。C项与第三段表述的内容相一致。该段先提及收藏者们远离了画廊和销售店,其次描述了销售数据的下降,最后又提及两大拍卖行的举措,与C项中的“in various ways”相符,此内容表明“the current downturn”,同义替换选项中的“the art market generally went down”。D项与文章最后一句话“But anyone who…confidence to return.”所表述的内容相一致,some art dealer等同于“anyone who does not have to sell”,“waiting for confidence to return”等同于“were awaiting better chances to come”,这都属于同义替换。

正确答案:D

本题解析:

词义辨析【直击答案】本空格所在句是More than three million doses were to be made available in early October 2009,though most of those 17 doses were of the FluMist nasal spray type。句意为,2009年10月初,300多万新型疫苗被予以使用,虽然这种药剂大多数是喷鼻剂特敏福。本题答案为D项initial“最初的”,意为“这种疫苗初期产品的类型是喷鼻剂”。【命题思路】本题主要考查形容词辨析和对上下文信息的把握。【干扰排除】C项innovative“创新的,革新的”有一定干扰强度,D项initial的含义是“开始的,最初的”,与上文前一句的new构成语义连接,为近义词复现。

本题解析:

词义辨析【直击答案】本空格所在句是people over 50 or those with breathing difficulties,heart disease or several other__19.解答本题时要联系上文信息,上文说该药剂不推荐给一些特殊人群使用,本题空格处前面的or表明所需填入词仍是指特殊人群。所以可推断出答案为A项problems,即还有其他健康问题的人群。【命题思路】本题考查考生对相近含义的名词的辨析能力。【干扰排除】B项issues的含义也是“问题”,但多指有争议的问题;A项problems的含义是“问题”,泛指其他的一些疾病。

正确答案:A

本题解析:

推理题【命题思路】这是一道句意推理题,属于封闭式推理题。句意推理题和词义推理题一样,需要借助上下文的信息进行推理解答。首先将短语定位到原文中后再根据所在文本进行推理。本题考查的是代词指代。【直击答案】根据题干定位到文章第三段第一句话“in the weeks and months that…deeply unfashionable”。紧接着第二句话“in the art world that meant…”中that充当代词,指代第一句话的内容,因此meant后面的内容是对第一句话的解释,其意思是:在艺术收藏界里这就意味着收藏者们会远离画廊和拍卖会场。这一信息与A项“收藏者们不再积极参与到艺术平市场的拍卖会中”一致,因此为正确选项。【干扰排除】B项中的“停止各种花销”是对题干的过度推理。文章第三段第三句话中提到“sales of contemporary art fell by twothirds”,其含义是说当代艺术品的销售量下降了三分之二,这与选项中提到的“停止各种花销”不相符,其表述过于绝对。C项在文中并未提及,题干并未提及有关吸引力的方面。D项是对题干字面意思的理解,而没有结合句子所在的文本语境,属于望文生义。

正确答案:D

本题解析:

推理题【命题思路】这是一道因果推理题。考生需要找出原因和结果。【直击答案】根据题干关键词“first paragraph”和“last victory”定位到第一段的倒数第二句“it was a last victory”。it指代文章前面所叙述的赫斯特作品大卖,创造了极佳的销售业绩。由第一句话可知,这个持续时间最长的艺术品市场牛市以赫斯特的作品成功拍卖而终止。而出现这一现象的原因在首段尾句进行了总结:“as the auctioneer called out bids,…,Lehman Brothers,filed for bankruptcy”,D项中的world financial crisis是原文中filed for bankruptcy的同义替换。因此,D项为正确选项。
