She had more than 20 books published.”可知本文主要介绍了格温多林布鲁克斯的诗歌。故选B。2答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据第
40、二段中的“She was an expert at the language of poetry.”可知她擅长使用诗歌的语言。3答案与解析：A推理判断题。作者通过多个事例来讲述文章，故选A。4答案与解析：B推理判断题。最后一段中的“She wrote about a wider world and dealt with important political issues.”提出了她写的关于政治问题的东西，故下文可能继续介绍她关于政治问题的诗歌。B【语篇解读】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章以国外视角报道中国文化及中国美学对国际时尚的影响，展现了中国对国际时尚和设计发展的引领作用。这篇文章通过在试题情
41、境中融入中国优秀传统文化和美学知识，引导考生在关注和提高审美情趣的同时，坚定理想信念，增强文化自信，树立正确的价值观。5答案与解析：B推理判断题。由题干中的the exhibition in New York定位到原文第三段。本段中并没有提到这次展览促进了艺术品的销售，也没有提到展示了中国古代的服装，故排除A、C两项；由第三段“The exhibition had record attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.(此次展览吸引了破纪录的出席者，显示出人们对中国影响的浓厚兴趣)”可知，B项表
42、述正确；由原文中的“.with the aim of exploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries.(旨在探索中国美学对西方时尚的影响，以及几个世纪以来中国是如何激发时尚想象力的)”可知，这次展览的目的不是介绍中国模特儿，故D项表述错误。6答案与解析：A推理判断题。由原文第四段中Hill说的“.Chinese women are not just consumers of fas
43、hionthey are central to its movement.(中国女性不仅是时尚的消费者她们是这场运动的核心)”可以推断出，她们正在引领潮流，故选A项。B项“她们发起许多时尚运动”，C项“她们崇拜超模”，D项“她们在世界各地做生意”，均不符合此处的语境。7答案与解析：D词义猜测题。由画线词后面的“beating them hands down in design and sales(在设计和销售方面轻而易举地击败他们)”可知，take on此处意为“与较量”，故选D项competing against。learn from“向学习”；look down on“轻视，瞧不起”；wo
44、rk with“与共事”。8答案与解析：D标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章的第一段就点明了主题：对于西方设计师来说，长期以来中国及其丰富的文化一直是西方创作者的灵感来源。接下来Amanda Hill对中国文化和中国美学对国际时尚的影响进行了评价，由此可知，中国文化推动了国际时尚潮流，故D项作为文章的标题最合适。Hill说中国模特儿是向全世界女性贩卖梦想的美丽和时尚活动的代言人，旨在强调中国女性在时尚方面的重要性；在纽约举办的中国艺术展只是文章提到的一个事例，不是文章论述的中心；文章中没有提到东西方在审美方面的不同，因此A、B、C三项均不能概括全文。.七选五【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要分析了
45、人们收藏艺术品的原因。1答案与解析：E上文说关于收藏的一个普遍的解释是他们可以获得经济利益，一些人转售收藏品以赚取巨额利润，下文又说一些收藏者购买艺术品进行洗钱，所以可推知此处说的还是利用艺术品获得经济利益的做法，故E项(有些人因为向博物馆捐赠艺术品而获得了大幅减税。)符合语境。故选E。2答案与解析：B根据本空后的“For them，art is important for other reasons.”可知，对于他们来说，艺术品之所以重要，还有其他原因，可推知此处说的是一些人收藏艺术品不是看重经济利益，故B项(但是，大多数收藏者很少考虑利润。)符合语境。故选B。3答案与解析：F根据本空前的“
46、We all know art is a powerful way for the artists to express thoughts and feelings.”可知，我们都知道艺术是艺术家表达思想和情感的一种有力的方式。此处承接上文，故F项(它也是收藏者表达自己的一种有效的方式。)符合语境。故选F。4答案与解析：G根据本空后的“Through the collections，collectors convey messages not just about themselves, but about the world as a whole.”可知，总的来说，通过收藏品，收藏者不仅传递
47、关于他们自己的信息，还传递关于世界的信息。此处是说收藏者认为自己的收藏品有重要意义，故G项(其他艺术收藏者认为自己的收藏品有更广泛的影响力。)符合语境。故选G。5答案与解析：D根据本空前的“People collect art for various reasons.”可知，人们收藏艺术品有各种各样的原因。此处总结全文，故D项(毫无疑问，艺术收藏是一种难以克服的瘾。)符合语境。故选D。.语法填空【语篇解读】本文主要评论了电影流浪地球。1答案与解析：solution考查名词。根据设空处前的定冠词the可知此处应为名词，所以填solution。2答案与解析：by考查介词。by后面跟交通工具，意为“
48、乘坐”。3答案与解析：encouraging考查形容词。根据空前a different and和空后idea可知应用形容词。encouraging意为“令人鼓舞的；振奋人心的”。4答案与解析：is being destroyed考查时态和语态。根据前后语境可知此处是指地球正在被破坏，故用现在进行时的被动语态。5答案与解析：to build考查非谓语动词。此处用不定式作目的状语。6答案与解析：which考查定语从句。句意：作为回应，全世界的人一起工作来建造一个巨型机械系统，它可以把地球推得远离太阳。先行词是a giant engine system，为物，设空处引导非限制性定语从句且在从句中作主语，故填which。7答案与解析：has had考查时态。句意：时至今日，家园这个词已经成为中国人心里一个柔软的点。根据时间状语Up to now可知此处应用现在完成时。8答案与解析：probably考查副词。此处用副词修饰后面的动词makes。9答案与解析：a考查冠词及固定句型。句意：这是许多人经过辛苦的漂泊回到自己家乡的时刻。it is a time when.为固定句式，意为“的时刻”，故此处应用不定冠词a。10答案与解析：their考查形容词性物主代词。hometown前面缺定语，所以应该用形容词性物主代词their来作定语。
