There are count
11、ries where the white man (2) his rule by brute force; there are countries where the black man protests by (3) fire to cities and by looting and pillaging. Important people (4) both sides, who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue (5) violencesas if it were a le

We may wear collars and ties instead of war- paint, but our instincts remain (8) unchanged. The whole of the (9) hi
13、story of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learnt that violence never solves a problem but makes it more (10) . The sheer horror, the bloodshed and the suffering mean nothing. No solution ever (11) when we dismally. (12) the s

They are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted by their own (16) because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law (17) . If half the (18)
15、that goes into violent acts were put into good use, if our efforts were (19) on cleaning up the slums and ghettos, on improving living standards and providing education and employment for all, we would not go a long (20) to arriving at a solution.(分数:20.00)A.grantingB.grantedC.being grantedD./A.impo

(1) , the seeds
19、were there and they sprouted, took (2) and have continued to grow. To this (3) the inheritance was valuable, but it is not to be denied that even though English law gave us the seeds of liberty, it also (4) us a vast amount of useless lumber that we have not (5) entirelyafter three hundred years of
20、(6) effort.Even the system of trial by jury, in spite of its (7) value, came to us with burdensome, outworn ideas and (8) precautions, (9) the one hand, and with no adequate (10) of adaptation to changing conditions, on the other. For one thing, in the early days it was (11) that ignorance of the fa

At that time, when means of communication were (13) and slow, there was something to be said for the idea; but today, when means of communication were (14) and almost instantaneous, ignorance of the facts is (15) , not of impartiality, (16) of extraordinary s

A baby has generally (4) facial features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrow

In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York state (18) . Many southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendl

40、数:20.00)A.forB.as C.toD.with解析:考点 考查固定搭配。在空格后列举了三个方面,空格前由 such,很容易联想到 suchas这一固定搭配,这一短语表示“诸如”,用来引起后面的列举,故选 B。A.Since B.ForC.AsD.In解析:考点 考查逻辑衔接。根据后文“has become ever moreprominent”使用的时态现在完成时可知,此处要填的是介词since。该句意为“然而,自从那时起,艺术的哲学就变得”。A.promotionalB.promissoryC.promiscuousD.prominent 解析:考点 考查形容词词义辨析。promo
41、tional 意为“增进的;奖励的”;promissory 意为“约定的,允诺的”;promiscuous?卷为“混杂的,杂乱的”;prominent 意为“突出的,杰出的”。根据上文的 however 可知,西方哲学家关注的重点由自然哲学转向了艺术哲学,因此艺术哲学应该是变得更加突出才对,答案为 D 项 pominent。A.plantB.supplant C.transplantD.replant解析:考点 考查动词词义辨析。plant 意为“种植,栽培”;supplant 意为“取代”;transplant 意为“移植;迁移”;replant 意为“改种;再植”。根据前文所说的“艺术哲学
42、变得更加突出”以及可以表示递进关系的 and 可知,艺术哲学的地位渐渐超越了自然哲学,因此答案为 B 项 supplant。A.central B.concentratingC.focusingD.centering解析:考点 考查固定搭配。be central to 为固定搭配,意为“对极为重要”。concentrate 和 focus 都与 on 搭配意为“将注意力集中在”,用在此处讲不通。该句意为“与艺术哲学有关的各种问题对 20 世纪的美学倾向产生了冲击”,因而此处应选 be central to,表示这些问题与艺术哲学之间有着极为重要的关系。A.markingB.remarkingC
43、.marked D.remarked解析:考点 考查词义辨析。malling 为名词“标志;打分”;remarking 为名词“评论”;marked 为形容词“显著的;有标记的”;remarked 为动词或名词“评论;察觉”。用来形容名词 impact 的只能是形容词,因此选 C,即“显著的冲击”。A.on B.forC.inD.to解析:考点 考查固定搭配。impact on 为固定搭配,意为“对产生冲击”,因此选 A。A.ForebodingB.Foremost C.ForethoughtfulD.Foregone解析:考点 考查形容词词义辨析。四个选项中,foreboding 意为“预感
44、的,不祥之兆的”,foremost 意为“最重要的”,forethoughtful意为“深谋远虑的,有先见之明的”,foregone 意为“过去的,先前的,预知的”。根据下文 Still another far-reaching question(另一个影响深远的问题)可知,此处的问题也有深远的意义,因此只有foremost 符合句意,答案为 B。A.atB.forC.to D.on解析:考点 考查固定搭配。relate to为固定搭配,意为“将与联系起来”。前文提到“relating to the theory fan as form and”,此处由 and 连接的两部分并列,都与 rel
45、ating 相呼应,因而空格处也应该是 to。该句意为“其中最重要的问题是关于将艺术作为形式的理论以及表现和表达之间的区别。”A.have broughtB.have been broughtC.have takenD.have been taken 解析:考点 考查语法结构和固定搭配。句子的主语是 Two opposing theoretical positions,因而谓语应使用被动语态,由此排除 A 和C。takepositions on为固定搭配,意为“在问题上采取态度/姿态”,所以排除 B。该句意为“在这个问题上人们持有两种完全对立的理论观点”,故选 D。A.whereas B.wh
46、ereinC.whereonD.wherefore解析:考点 考查逻辑衔接。根据前后文中的 one 和 the other 可知,这里是在具体列出上文所提到的两个对立观点,四个选项中只有连词 whereas 表示对比,因此选 A。A.preoccupancyB.preoccupation C.premonitionD.proportion解析:考点 考查名词词义辨析。preoccupancy 意为“先占,先取”;preoccupation 意为“全神贯注,入神;关注的事物”;premonition 意为“预告,征兆”;proportion 意为“比例”。根据上句中的 one of the ba
47、sic concerns of aesthetics 和该句前半部分的 also 可知,该空格处所应填入的名词也是人们很关注的一种事物,只有 preoccupation 符合该文意,preoccupation with 为固定搭配,意为“对很关注”,故选 B。A.artistsB.writersC.critics D.analysts解析:考点 考查名词词义辨析。arfist 意为“艺术家”;writer 意为“作家”;critic 意为“评论家;批评者”;analyst 意为“分析师”。由下文的 criticism 可知该空为 critic。A.allB.either C.neitherD.
48、none解析:考点 考查固定搭配。all of 意为“不少于”,all 表示数量时至少应有三个;either of 意为“两者之一”;neither of 意为“两个都不是”;none of 意为“三个以上都不”。根据文中的“of two approaches”和 in one 可以首先排除 A 和 D,因为根据后文列举的两种情况可知,作者并非否定了两者,因此句意是“批判家要么采取了这种方法,要么采取了那种方法”,正确答案为 B。A.In the other mannerB.In the other wayC.In anotherD.In the other 解析:考点 考查逻辑衔接。根据前文
49、的 two approaches 和 in one 可知,文章已经解释了两方面中的一方面,此处应为 in the other,引出“另一方面”,因此本题选 D。A.justifyB.justifiedC.justifying D.having justified解析:考点 考查语法结构。前文提到“it is devoted to articulating the response to the aesthetic object and”,由 and连接的两部分为并列关系,都与 devoted 相呼应,因此在形式上要保持一致,故本题选 C 项justifying。该句意为“它致力于对具有美学价值的物体做出反应以及为一种特定的感知这一物体的方式辩护”。A.diverse B.dividedC.divineD.dividual解析:考点 考查形容词词义辨析。diverse 意为“不同的,多种多样的”;divided 意为“分开的,分裂的;有分歧的”;divine 意为“神圣的,非凡的”;dividual 意为“可分开的”。从该句到文章结尾列举的都是其中的问题,可见能形容这些问题的只有 diverse 了,
