单选题. ①A primary value in early twentieth-century Modernist architectural theory was that of "truth to materials", that is, it was essential that a building's design express the "natural" character of the building materials. ②This emphasis would have puzzled the architects of the Italian Renaissance (sixteenth century), a period widely regarded as the apex of architectural achievement, for Renaissance architects' designs were determined only minimally by the materials employed. ③The diversity of Italy's natural resources provided Renaissance architects with a wide variety of building materials. ④The builders of the Pitti Palace (1558-1570) used great blocks of Tuscan stone, just as Etruscans living in the same part of Italy had done some twenty centuries earlier. ⑤Had the Florentine Renaissance builders aped the Etruscan style, it might be said that their materials determined their style, since Etruscan style matched the massive, stark, solid character of the stone. ⑥But these same materials, which so suited the massive Etruscan style, were effectively used by the Florentine Renaissance to create the most delicate and graceful of styles. ①A similar example of identical materials used in contrasting styles characterizes the treatment of Roman travertine marble. ②When Baroque architects of seventeenth-century Rome desired a massive and solid monumental effect, they turned to travertine marble, whose "natural effect" is, indeed, that of spacious breadth and lofty, smoothly rounded surfaces. ③Yet during the Renaissance, this same material had been used against its "nature," in the Florentine tradition of sharply carved detail. ④Italian Renaissance architecture was shaped less by the "nature" of the materials at hand than by the artistic milieu of Renaissance Italy, which included painting and sculpture as well as architecture. ⑤While Roman travertine marble may have lent itself to fine carving, the Florentine passion for fine detail is no less marked in Florentine Renaissance painting than in Florentine Renaissance architecture. ⑥Similarly, in the next century, the emphasis on shading and corporeal density in Baroque painting mirrored the use of Roman travertine marble in Baroque architecture to create broad shadow and powerful masses. ①The ingenuity of Renaissance architects extended beyond merely using a material in a way not suggested by its outward natural appearance. ②If they conceived a design that called for a certain material either too expensive or difficult to work with, they made no scruple about imitating that material. ③Their marbles and their stones are often actually painted stucco. ④When the blocks of masonry with which they built were not in scale with the projected scheme, the real joints were concealed and false ones introduced. ⑤Nor were these practices confined, as some scholars insist, to the later and supposedly decadent phases of the art. ⑥Material, then, was utterly subservient to style.46. The passage is primarily concerned with ______

单选题36. Cuts that need to be held closed in order to heal properly have generally been held closed with stitches. However, pressure to reduce medical costs is mounting. Consequently, it is likely that a newly developed adhesive will become the routine method of holding most types of cuts closed. The new adhesive holds most types of cuts closed as well as stitches do, and the cost of applying it is comparable to that of closing cuts with stitches. But whereas stitches must generally be removed by medical personnel after the cut has healed, the adhesive simply wears off. Thus, for any cut that the adhesive can hold closed as well as stitches can, it is more economical to use the adhesive. In the argument given, the two highlighted portions play which of the following roles? ______

单选题1. Even after numerous products made with artificial sweeteners became available, sugar consumption per capita continued to rise. Now manufacturers are introducing fat-free versions of various foods that they claim have the taste and texture of the traditional high-fat versions. Even if the manufacturers' claim is true, given that the availability of sugar-free foods did not reduce sugar consumption, it is unlikely that the availability of these fat-free foods will reduce fat consumption. Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the argument? ______

单选题6. There are many structural and thematic similarities between Piers Plowman by Langland (1330-1400) and House of Fame by Chaucer (1342-1400), two Middle English poems relating dream visions. Some critics have argued that because a number of the shared elements are uncommon in Middle English poetry, and because Langland's poem probably predates Chaucer's by a few years, Chaucer was most likely influenced by Piers Plowman when writing House of Fame. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the critics' argument? ______

单选题. ①Certain practices common in the early United States make it easy for historians to underestimate the extent of American women's paid labor. ②Under the legal principle called coverture, married women had no legally recognized economic existence apart from their husbands and could not receive wages for their work. ③Records of payments for outwork (work performed in the home on a piece-rate basis) show male names as wage recipients. ④One has to look in the columns recording the amount of work completed to see that female names are listed as producers. ⑤Furthermore, most wage laborers were paid partly in goods and received cash wages only quarterly or once or twice a year. ⑥The infrequency of such payments has sometimes made it difficult for historians to recognize them as wages.11. According to the passage, payments to wage laborers in the early United States were ______

单选题. ①Early naturalists believed two species of beaver lived in North America: dam beavers and bank beavers. ②The bank species was thought to resemble the muskrat in behavior, living in burrows or lodges and unable to build dams. ③In fact, dams are primarily a strategy for dealing with annual variations in water levels. ④If water levels fall in summer, as they do in most of North America, then beavers lodge entrances may be exposed. ⑤With stabilized water levels, their homes are much safer. ⑥Along deep rivers, where bank beavers are found, this problem seldom arises. ⑦But these beavers do know how to build dams, and do so if the need arises, as may occur if they are forced to relocate after felling and consuming all nearby trees.36. The passage provides support for which of the following statements about beaver dams? ______

单选题30. Scientists typically do their most creative work before the age of forty. It is commonly thought that this happens because aging by itself brings about a loss of creative capacity. However, studies show that a disproportionately large number of the scientists who produce highly creative work beyond the age of forty entered their field at an older age than is usual. Since by the age of forty the large majority of scientists have been working in their field for at least fifteen years, the studies' finding strongly suggests that the real reason why scientists over forty rarely produce highly creative work is not that they have simply aged but rather that they generally have spent too long in a given field. In the argument given, the two portions in boldface play which of the following roles? ______

单选题. ①Having a larger assortment to choose from increases consumers' expectations about matching their preferences. ②The heightened expectations seem logical, since assortments containing more or more varied items should increase the degree to which preferences can be matched. ③In practice, however, as assortment size increases, the degree to which consumers realize better preference matches often rises relatively little. ④Larger assortments may not actually offer more variety, the market may simply not supply an envisioned offering, or in the absence of sophisticated search tools, consumers may miss a better preference match even if it is available. ⑤Therefore, larger assortments can increase the likelihood that expectations will not be met, leaving consumers less satisfied with options chosen from larger rather than smaller assortments.14. In the highlighted portion of the passage, the author assumes that ______
