【文章內(nèi)容簡介】
渠,但古羅馬人最先開發(fā)和廣泛的利用它作為地上建筑的結(jié)構(gòu),他們完善了由分段的石塊組成的半圓形拱。作為跨越空間的一種方式,拱 可以比水平橫梁支撐更大的重量。它使得其上的壓力轉(zhuǎn)移到兩側(cè),由兩側(cè)垂直的部分來承擔壓力。拱形結(jié)構(gòu)只是近百年來眾多重要建筑結(jié)構(gòu)的突破之一。第1題:According to paragraph 1, all of the following statements about architecture are true EXCEPT:A:Architecture is visual art.B:Architecture reflects the cultural values of its creators.C:Architecture has both artistic and scientific dimensions.D:Architecture has an indirect effect on life.題目解析EXCEPT題排除法,以visual art做關(guān)鍵詞定位至本段最后一句,A對,不選;以cultural values做關(guān)鍵詞定位至第二句,B對,不選;以artistic and scientific dimensions做關(guān)鍵詞定位至第一句,C對,不選;D選項與A選項在同一句,indirect effect和directly的原文說反,錯,選。第2題:The word “feasible” in the passage is closest in meaning toA:in existenceB:without questionC:achievableD:most likelyEXCEPT題排除法,以visual art做關(guān)鍵詞定位至本段最后一句,A對,不選;以cultural values做關(guān)鍵詞定位至第二句,B對,不選;以artistic and scientific dimensions做關(guān)鍵詞定位至第一句,C對,不選;D選項與A選項在同一句,indirect effect和directly的原文說反,錯,選第3題:The word “enhance” in the passage is closest in meaning toA:protectB:improveC:organizeD:match題目解析詞匯題,問的是第二段第三句中的enhance,備選項分別是protect, improve, organize, match,enhance提高,原文中與enhance their way of life并列的動詞是shelter,庇護之意,所以再選protect的話重疊,而且也不應(yīng)該是保護他們的生活方式;organize組織match搭配都不能與庇護并列,所以improve改善生活方式最靠譜。第4題:Which of the sentences below best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence in the passage? Incorrect choices change the meaning in important ways or leave out essential information.A:Unchanging physical laws have limited the size and strength of buildings that can be made with materials discovered long ago.B:Building materials have changed in order to increase architectural size and strength, but physical laws of structure have not changed.C:When people first started to build, the structural methods used to provide strength and size were inadequate because they were not based on physical laws.D:Unlike building materials, the methods of support used in architecture have not changed over time because they are based on physical laws.題目解析(PDF版3題) In order for只是一個表目的的狀語,暫時放棄不看,同時because那部分插入語不看,整個句子就變成了建筑師們采用的方法是不變的,盡管建筑材料發(fā)生了很大變化。A沒說原文的建筑材料發(fā)生了很大變化,而且law沒有限制size and strength,所以完全不對;B錯在in order的那個狀語部分,increase原文沒說;C說not based on physical laws與原文相反,錯,D正確第5題:The word “devised” in the passage is closest in meaning toA:binedB:createdC:introducedD:suggested題目解析devise設(shè)計,所在句說全世界的建筑也要怎么樣根據(jù)簡直材料的限制,因為有also,所以是接著前一句的,前句在上題中已經(jīng)分析過了,說建筑師為了達到要求采用了多種方法,說明建筑的產(chǎn)生應(yīng)該是一個從無到有的過程,所以B選項create最合適,A聯(lián)合C介紹,引進D建議,表明都不對。第6題:The word “integral” is closest in meaning toA:essentialB:variableC:practicalD:independent題目解析integral完整的,有機的,構(gòu)成整體的,原文說建筑材料和建筑方法是建筑什么樣的部分,代入選項也知道應(yīng)該是A重要的部分,B可變的C實際的都不靠譜,D獨立的雖
