28、e typical of 为固定搭配,表示“是的特征”,此处指“大批现代艺术家的作品和艺术运动都具有高度主观化的个人自我表达的特征”,故本题答案为 B。(5).【C5】(分数:2.00)A.particularlyB.speciallyC.importantlyD.specifically 解析:解析:上一句提到的还是从 modern artists(现代艺术家)这个大范畴来定义表现主义,而下一句则是从德国及奥地利这些国家的艺术家来给表现主义下定义,显然下文会比上文更加具体,故选 D 项specifically“具体地”。A 有 particularly 意为“尤其”。B 项 speciall
29、y 表示“专门地”。C 项importantly 意为“重要地”。(6).【C6】(分数:2.00)A.distinct B.universalC.coherentD.biased解析:解析:由上一句的 Itssubjective,personal self-expression is typical,可看出表现主义极具个性,能与这个语义相吻合的只有 A 项 distinct“独特的”,代入后表示“表现主义作为一种独特的艺术风格或者艺术运动,涉及了大量德国、奥地利、法国和俄罗斯艺术家”。(7).【C7】(分数:2.00)A.lengthB.stretchC.wholeD.much 解析:解析:
30、空格前没有定冠词 the,在特指的情况下,length“长度,时间的长短”、stretch“一段(时间)”、whole“整个,全部”前都需要加定冠词,只有 much 不需要,表示“一战的大部分时间”,故D 项为本题答案。(8).【C8】(分数:2.00)A.consisted ofB.lay in C.referred toD.counted on解析:解析:此处的句意为“德国表现主义流派的根源文森特凡高的作品”,B 项layin“在于”代入空格。句意通顺。故本题选 B。(9).【C9】(分数:2.00)A.whom B.theseC.themD.which解析:解析:分析句子结构,空格所在句
31、为定语从句,先行词为 Vincent Van Gogh 等三位艺术家,且引导词充当介词 of 的宾语故选 A 项 whom。(10).【C10】(分数:2.00)A.innovatedB.evolved C.adaptedD.derived解析:解析:根据前面说到的“德国表现主义流派的根源凡高等人的作品”,可大致推断这种艺术风格是凡高等艺术家先创造的;此处时间状语为 1885-1900,表示这种动作是在一段较长时间内发生的,B项 evolved“使逐步形成”符合此处的语境,代入后表示“他们在 1885-1900 年间各自形成了高度个性化的绘画风格”,句意通顺。(11).【C11】(分数:2.0
32、0)A.drawB.displayC.explore D.exploit解析:解析:空格后的宾语为 themes“主题”,四个选项中,能与之搭配的是 C 项 explore“探索”,explore themes 指“探索主题”。故本题选 C。(12).【C12】(分数:2.00)A.ran outB.broke outC.ran awayD.broke away 解析:解析:下文提到 in order to express more subjective outlooks(为了传达更为主观的个人看法),可推断,“对自然的平实描述”这种方法会被抛弃,broke away from“打破(陈规)”

34、ed 等词推断,下文讲的是表现主义的衰落,故空格处应填入“衰落,衰败”含义的词,B 项 decline“衰落,衰退”符合要求。(15).【C15】(分数:2.00)A.for B.toC.aboutD.into解析:解析:long for 为固定搭配,表示“渴望”,此处是指“对更美好世界的渴望”。(16).【C16】(分数:2.00)A.on averageB.in general C.at lengthD.as usual解析:解析:空格处填入的副词用于描述导致表现主义衰落的第三个原因的特征,上文讲到表现主义时多次提到 subjective、personal 等词,这跟第三个原因一致,故第三

36、主义相反,根据上文 highly poetic 和 intensely personal 等描述,知道表现主义极为晦涩难懂,故推测社会现实主义的政治风格就应该是清楚易懂的,结合选项,overtly“公开地”能表达这种“易懂的”属性,因此本题选 C。(19).【C19】(分数:2.00)A.inducedB.quickened C.ensuredD.slackened解析:解析:上一句提到“was brought about 带来(衰落)”,而后一句出现“killed(消亡)”,因此推断此空所在句讲的应该是发生在“表现主义衰落开始”和“表现主义完全消亡”之间的一个中间状态,B项 quickene
37、d“使加速”代入此空,表示“德国国内政局部分趋于稳定以及社会现实主义的出现,加速了表现主义的没落”,句意通顺,逻辑合理,故本题选 B。(20).【C20】(分数:2.00)A.definitively B.criticallyC.adequatelyD.invariably解析:解析:空格处填入副词,修饰 killed,A 项 definitively“最终地”符合语境,其他三项不能修饰 killed。During the traditional wedding ceremony, the【C1】_couple promise each other lifelong devotion.
