標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：本題可參見文章第一段的最后一句話“Inshort,artexpresses【he

essentialqualitiesofatimeandaplace,andastudyofitclearlyoffersusadeeper

understandingthancanbefoundinmosthistorybooks”,其實(shí)，該問題就是這句話的

翻版，即藝術(shù)能夠更全面深刻地反映歷史。所以選C。

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：問題是“藝術(shù)是主觀的，原因在于?！蔽恼碌诙沃杏幸痪湓挘?/p>

“Art,ontheotherhand,issubjective：itreflectsemotionsandopinions.”從這句話

中可以看出藝術(shù)是感情和觀點(diǎn)的反映。所以選A。

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：從文章第三段倒數(shù)第二句話：“Bycontrast,oneofthemain

characteristicsofartintheMiddleEastwas（andstillis）itsabsenceofhumanandanimal

images.”能夠看出，中東的藝術(shù)形象中沒有人和動(dòng)物的形象。此題的關(guān)鍵是找關(guān)

鍵詞：theMiddleEast。找到后就能很快地確定答案。所以選C。

4^Thepassagemainlydiscusses.

A、thedevelopmentofarthistory

B、thedifferencebetweengeneralhistoryandarthistory

C、whatwecanlearnfromart

D^theinfluenceofartistsonarthistory

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：本題考查對(duì)文章主題思想的理解和把握。文章共分三段。第一段是概

括段落，第二段和第三段采用對(duì)比的寫作方法，分別介紹歷史和藝術(shù)，突出歷史與

藝術(shù)的不同之處。因此，文章主要講一般歷史和藝術(shù)歷史的區(qū)別。所以選B。

B、itismoredifficulttostudyarthistorythangeneralhistory

C、ahistoryteachermustbequiteobjective

D、artistspaintedpeopleorstoriesfromtheBibletohidetheirpoliticalbeliefs

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：C

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：通過對(duì)藝術(shù)和歷史的對(duì)比分析，可以得出結(jié)論：既然歷史本身是客觀

的，那么，歷史老師也應(yīng)該客觀地對(duì)待歷史。所以選C。

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：本題考查對(duì)句子意思的理解.根據(jù)文章第三段第二句話“Someofour

preferencesareclearlypsychological.“可以看出我們對(duì)顏色的喜好是心理因素的影

響。本題的關(guān)鍵是找出關(guān)犍詞preferences,這樣答案就容易找了。所以選D。

7、Ifpeopleareexposedtobrightred,whichofthefollowingthingsdoesNOThappen?

A、Theybreathefaster.

B、Theyfeelsatisfied.

C、Theirbloodpressurerises.

D、Theirheartsbeatfaster.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

inbreath,inheartbeatandinbloodpressure；redisexciting."可知A、C、D均正

確，所以選B。

8、WhichofthefollowingstatementsisNOTtrueaccordingtothepassage?

C、Peopleexposedtopurebluestarttobreathemoreslowly.

A^MostAmericansknowaboutit.

B、Itisnowopentothepublic.

C、Around23,000workerscontributetoitsplanning.

D、Itisoneoftheworld'stallestbuildings.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A、

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：文章第一段第三句表示：“Therearcveryfewpeoplethroughoutthe

UnitedStateswhodonothavesomeknowledgeofthePentagon.”,即在美國幾乎沒

有人不知道五角大樓的。區(qū)此A正確。

12、WhichofthefollowingstatementsaboutthetransportationofthePentagonisNOT

true?

A、Itisaccessiblebysubway.

B、Peoplehavetowalkalottoreachoffices.

C、Peoplecangotherebybus.

D、Theparkinglotscover200acresofland.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：通過文章第二段對(duì)五角大樓各種數(shù)據(jù)的描述不難看出，D項(xiàng)表述不確

切，文中說的是草坪的面積是200英畝，而D項(xiàng)偷換了概念，因此選D。

13、Whydoestheauthorquotesomanyfiguresinthesecondparagraph?

A、ToshowthatheknewquitealotaboutthePentagon.

B、Toshow(helargescaleofthePentagon.

C、ToshowthatitcostsalotofmoneytokeepthePentagongoing.

D^ToshowthatPentagonisaprivilegedplace.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：從文章第二段首句：“ThePentagonisvirtuallyacityinitself.”可知，

五角大樓本身實(shí)際上就是一個(gè)城市。作者引用大量的數(shù)據(jù)來說明五角大樓的規(guī)模宏

大。因此正確答案為B。

14>WhichofthefollowingisNOTmanagedbythePentagon?

A、Theparkinglot.

B、Therestaurantservice.

確答案為B。

15、WhichofthefollowingstatementsaboutthestructureofthePentagonisTRUE?

B、Thelongestdistancebetweentwoofficesis17.5miles.

C、ThereisnorestroominthePentagon.

D、Ittakesnomorethan7minutestowalkfromoneplacetoanotherinthePentagon.

標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：D

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：從文章的最后一句：”…ittakesonlysevenminutestowalkbetweenany

twopointsinthebuilding.”得知D項(xiàng)為正確答案。A中的alltheoffices是錯(cuò)誤的理

解，文章只是說爬131級(jí)臺(tái)價(jià)或乘19個(gè)自動(dòng)扶梯就可以到達(dá)辦公室。B項(xiàng)的原文

應(yīng)為17.5英里長的走廊；而C項(xiàng)明顯錯(cuò)誤，文章明確指出有284間洗手間。

知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：根據(jù)文章第二段第二句：“…arelikelytobethewealthiestgroupof

retireesinhumanhistory.”可推理出商人之所以能從老年市場(chǎng)獲益，是因?yàn)檫@部分

退休的老年人都十分富有，并且擁有很強(qiáng)的購買力。因此正確答案為C。
