真题回忆

第一篇：

The revival of mural painting that has occurred in San Francisco since the 1970s, especially among the Chicano population of the city's Mission District, has marked differences from its social realist forerunner in Mexico and the United States some 40 years earlier. Rather than being government sponsored and limited to murals on government buildings, the contemporary mural movement sprang from the people themselves, with murals appearing on community buildings and throughout college campuses. Perhaps the biggest difference, however, is the process. In earlier twentieth-century Mexico, murals resulted from the vision of individual artists. But today's murals are characteristically the products of artists working with local residents on design and creation.

Such community engagement is characteristic of the Chicano art movement as a whole, which evolved from the same foundations as the Chicano civil rights movement of themid-1960s. Both were a direct response to the needs of Chicanos in the United States, who were fighting for the right to adequate education, political empowerment, and decent working conditions. Artists joined other cultural workers in making political statements and played a key role in taking these statements to the public. They developed collectives and established cultural centers that functioned as the public-relations arm of the Chicano sociopolitical movement.

1. The primary purpose of the passage is to

A. argue for the superiority of a style of art

B. consider the impact of an art movement

C. describe the political content of a certain works of art

D. detail the characteristic style of an art movement

E. place an art movement in its historical context

2. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the “cultural centers” is true?

A. They were the venue where many later leaders of the Chicano civil rights movement first became politically active.

B. Though later widespread, they originated in San Francisco area.

C. Springing up in a number of communities, they initially had largely a political goals centered on art instruction.

D. They constituted the nucleus from which the Chicano civil rights movement originated.

E. Founded by artists, they provided support for the Chicano civil rights movement.

3. Which of the following best describes the relationship between the first paragraph and the second paragraph of the passage?

A. The first focuses on the mural artists as individuals; the second, on their actions as a group.

B. The first compares the mural revival with an earlier artistic movement; the second describes the context contemporary to the revival

C. The first defines the revival by distinguishing it from an earlier artistic movement; the second addresses the political goals of both the revival and its forerunner

D. The first presents an apparently plausible account of the relationship between the revival and is forerunner, the second calls that account into question

E. The first is concerned with the artistic aims and ambitions behind the San Francisco murals; the second considers their political significance

第二篇：

One reason researchers have long believed that Mars never enjoyed an extensive period of warm and wet climate is that much of the surface not covered by wind-borne dust appears to be composed of unweathered material. If water flowed for an extended period, researchers reasoned, it should have altered and weathered the volcanic minerals, creating clays or other oxidized, hydrated phases (minerals that incorporate water molecules in their crystal structure).

It turns out, though, that the scientists were not looking closely enough. New high-resolution mapping data and close-up surface studies have revealed clays and other hydrated minerals in many regions. The clay deposits are scattered all over, in ancient volcanic surfaces and heavily cratered highland regions, some of which have apparently been exposed by erosion only recently.

1. According to the passage, scientists are able to discover weathered material on the Martian surface because they have benefited from which of the following?

A. a new method to analyze volcanic craters created on the Martian surface.

B. an improved ability to detect hydrated materials on the Martian surface

C. a more sophisticated understanding of the effect of wind-borne dust on the Martian surface

D. a decision to look for water primarily in heavily cratered highland regions.

E. a better understanding of how erosion might affect clay deposits.

Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.

2. It can be inferred from the passage that the author would agree with which of the following statements regarding the reasoning discussed in the highlighted sentence?

A. It provides the basis for an explanation of why water on Mars has been difficult to find until recently.

B. It correctly identifies a consequence of water flowing on the Martian surface.

C. It depends on a false assumption about how water and volcanic materials interact on Mars.

第三篇：

Princess fish are a species of coral-reef fish that are captured alive by divers who first stun the individual fish by squirting a certain poison at them. Since the divers limit their catch to a few individuals and take care not to overfish, the divers’ continuing activities will clearly not result in serious harm to populations of princess fish.

1. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weaken the argument given?

A. Princess fish cannot be captured alive by traditional methods of fishing.

B. The poison used to stun the princess fish has no effect on humans who eat them.

C. Demand for princess fish has remained steady during the last decade.

D. Traces of the poison that remain in the seawater damage the Corals that create and maintain the reefs on which princess fish depend.

E. Fish that have been stunned but have selected for capture by the divers soon recover from the temporary effect of the poison.

第四篇：

Normally, seeds of Emmenathe Penduliflora stay dormant for years and germinate only when a fire burns through their habitat. Nitrogen dioxide in the smoke induces the seeds to germinate. Fires clear the brush, allowing germinating seeds to receive the sunlight they need to grow. The plants mature quickly, produce seeds, and then die. In areas with heavy automobile traffic, however, the seed germinates in the absence of fire, with automobile exhaust supplying the required nitrogen dioxide.

1. The information given, if accurate, most strongly supports which of the following hypotheses?

A. Fires in the habitat of E. Penduliflora do not entirely destroy the plant’s seeds even in the places where the fires burn most intensely.

B. The nitrogen dioxide in automobile exhaust cannot harm plants of E. Penduliflora after germination.

C. If human intervention decreases the number of fires in the habitat of E. Penduliflora, automobile exhaust can replicate the conditions the plant requires in order to thrive.

D. Within the habitat of E. Penduliflora, natural fires are significantly more frequent in areas with heavy automobile traffic than they are in other areas.

E. Unless E. Penduliflora seeds that have germinated can survive in the shade, automobile exhaust threatens the long-term survival of the plant in areas with heavy automobile traffic.
