The world art market had already been losing momentum for a while after rising bewilderingly since 2003. At its peak in 2007 it was worth some $65 billion, reckons Clare McAndrew, founder of Arts Economics, a research firm – double the figure five years earlier. Since then it may have come down to $50 billion. But the market generates interest far beyond its size because it brings together great wealth, enormous egos, greed, passion and controversy in a way matched by few other industries. 世界艺术品市场在经历了2003年起的急剧上升后，一段时间以来其发展势头已经开始丧失。Clare McAndrew 是一家名叫Arts Economics,研究公司的创始人，他估计在2007年的高峰期，世界艺术品市场的价值约为650亿美元，是五年前的两倍。从那时起，它的价值可能已经降到500亿美元。但是艺术品市场产生的利益远远超出它本身的规模，因为它汇集了巨大的财富、膨胀的自我、贪婪、激情和争议。其方式几乎没有哪个产业能与之相提并论。

20.guarantee: （名词）保证金
* In the weeks and months that followed Mr. Hirst’s sale, spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable. In the art world that meant collectors stayed away from galleries and salerooms. Sales of contemporary art fell by two-thirds, and in the most overheated sector, they were down by nearly 90% in the year to November 2008. Within weeks the world’s two biggest auction houses, Sotheby’s and Christie’s, had to pay out nearly $200m in guarantees to clients who had placed works for sale with them. 在Hirst的作品拍卖会后的几个星期和几个月里，任何此类的投资都变得很不合时宜。在艺术品领域，这意味着收藏家远离了画廊和销售店。当代艺术品的销售额下降了三分之二，而在最热门的领域，那一年的销售额截止到2008年11月份下跌了近90%。几周之内，世界上两家最大的拍卖行，苏富比和佳士得，不得不支付近两亿美元把那些早已把作品交与他们出售的客户，以作为担保费用。

The current downturn in the art market is the worst since the Japanese stopped buying Impressionists at the end of 1989. This time experts reckon that prices are about
40% down on their peak on average, though some have been far more fluctuant. But Edward Dolman, Christie’s chief executive, says: “I’m pretty confident we’re at the bottom.” 当前艺术品市场的下滑是自1989年底日本停止购买印象派作品以来最糟糕的一次。这一次，专家估计平均价位相对于峰值来讲下降了大约百分之四十，尽管有些价格波动的幅度更大。但佳士得的首席执行官Edward Dolman说：“我们现在已处于谷底，对此我深信不疑。”
26.slump: （名词）低潮，锐减= downturn
27.to keep away: 远离= to stay away from
What makes this slump different from the last, he says, is that there are still buyers in the market. Almost everyone who was interviewed for this special report said that the biggest problem at the moment is not a lack of demand but a lack of good work to sell. The three Ds—death, debt and divorce—still deliver works of art to the market. But anyone who does not have to sell is keeping away, waiting for confidence to return. 他指出，与上一次暴跌不同的是目前市场上仍存在买家。几乎每位接受这个特别报道采访的人都说，当前最大的问题不是缺乏需求，而是没有好的作品销售。三D因素----death(死亡)、debt(债务)、divorce(离婚)------依然会把艺术品推向市场。但所有那些不必出手的人正在远离市场，等待市场信心的回归。
本文主要就世界艺术品市场的低迷状况进行论述。
第一段：指出艺术市场上持续一个世纪的牛市结束了，标志就是达米安?赫斯特56部作品的出售。
第二段：回顾了自2003年至今，艺术市场的走势情况，即在经历了急剧的上升期后，艺术市场的势头大减。
第三段：对低迷的艺术市场进行详细的分析。
第四段：指出尽管当前的艺术市场状况糟糕，但佳士得的总裁仍有信心期待市场的复苏。
第五段：指出这次衰退与以往的不同之处是市场上仍存在需求，但缺乏好的作品，原因是许多卖主在等待未来的时机。
1. In the first paragraph, Damien Hirst’s sale was referred to as “a last victory” because
__________.
because:原因分析题, 通常先下再上, 即在下文中找
A. the art market had witnessed a succession of victories 逻辑上说不通
B. the auctioneer finally got the two pieces at the highest bids也不能说是因
C. Beautiful Inside My Head Forever won over all masterpieces 也不能说是因
D. it was successfully made just before the world financial crisis
在原文中定位It was a last victory. As the auctioneer called out bids, in New York one of the oldest banks on Wall Street, Lehman Brothers, filed for bankruptcy.（宣布破产，表示金融危机的来临）
2. By saying “spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable” (Line 1-2, Para 3),
the author suggests that __________.
对于句子解释的，我们面对的句子有这样的特点：句子结构很晦涩；或用了修辞手段。
A. collectors were no longer actively involved in art-market auctions
B. people stopped every kind of spending and stayed away from galleries违背事实，因为every kind绝对化，绝对化的选项，毙掉
C. art collection as a fashion had lost its appeal to a great extent
D. works of art in general had gone out of fashion so they were not worth buying
C与D是一致的，所以不选。回文定位到第三段In the weeks and months that followed Mr. Hirst’s sale, spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable. In the art world that meant collectors stayed away from galleries and salerooms. Stay away from: 我们做的是深刻的推断题，选取正确答案的规则是：面子不同，里子同。
答案选（A）
3. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Sales of contemporary art fell dramatically from 2007 to 2008.’（Para 2S2，3）
B. The art market surpassed many other industries in momentum.
C. The art market generally went downward in various ways.（p3s1）
D. Some art dealers were awaiting better chances to come.（尾段尾句）
排除性判断题，题干往往缺乏信号词，所以需要一一回文定位，加以比较和判断，由于相对繁琐费事，我们需要“无比耐心”
（Ａ）回文定位到第二段第二、三句At its peak in 2007 it was worth some $65 billion, reckons Clare McAndrew, founder of Arts Economics, a research firm – double the figure five years earlier. Since then it may have come down to $50 billion
（C）回文定位到第三段首句In the weeks and months that followed Mr. Hirst’s sale, spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable.的spending=the art market, of any sort=generally 和in various ways, became deeply unfashionable=went downward, 所以（C）正确
（D）回文定位到尾段尾句：But anyone who does not have to sell is keeping away, waiting for confidence to return. 所以（D）正确
（B）是无中生有，虽然有标志性的词momentum，但回到有momentum的地方定位，完全歪曲了愿望。
正确答案应该选（Ｂ）
4. The three Ds mentioned in the last paragraph are __________.
A. auction houses’ favorites
B. contemporary trends
C. factors promoting artwork circulation
D. style representing Impressionists
尾段：The three Ds—death, debt and divorce—still deliver works of art to the market.从破折号后面找到线索，很多时候破折号出现的地方也是题眼。
５．The most appropriate title for this text could be __________.
A. Fluctuation of Art Prices
B. Up-to-date Art Auctions
C. Art Market in Decline
D. Shifted Interest in Arts
这是篇章主旨题。思路是对整篇文章做高度概括，可以将各段的首句信息做综合处理
P1s1: end
P2s1: lose momentum
P3s1: unfashionable
P4s1downturn /worst
P5s1: slump
通过上述各句的核心词，不难发现（C）是正确答案。
2012年
1.家庭作业
2.粉色
3.基因专利
4.经济萧条对美国社会的影响
2011年
1.外部董事
2.美国报业的重生

I was addressing a small gathering in a suburban Virginia living room -- a women's group that had invited men to join them. Throughout the evening, one man had been particularly talkative, frequently offering ideas and anecdotes, while his wife sat silently beside him on the couch. Toward the end of the evening, I commented that women frequently complain that their husbands don't talk to them. This man quickly concurred. He gestured toward his wife and said, "She's the talker in our family." The room burst into laughter; the man looked puzzled and hurt. "It's true," he explained. "When I come home from work I have nothing to say. If she didn't keep the conversation going, we'd spend the whole evening in silence." 佛吉尼亚郊区的一间会客厅里有一个小的聚会，我正在做发言----这是个女性团体举办的聚会，但也邀请了男性一同参加。整个晚上，一位男子特别健谈，不断地表达自己的观点，讲述着奇闻轶事，而他的妻子则静静地坐在沙发上，就在他的旁边。那晚的聚会即将结束时，我评论说，女性常常抱怨自己的丈夫不和他们交谈。这名男子即可点头表示认同。他向自己的妻子示意并且说：“她是我们家的话匣子。”闻听此言，整个房间哄堂大笑。但该男孩看上去却很困惑，一副受伤的样子。他解释说：“这是事实，我下班回到家时找不到话题好谈。如果不谈下去，我们将在沉默中度过整个晚上。

24. epidemic: （名词）1）（文中含义）流行病* global epidemic: 全球性的流行病
25. a failed conversation: 沟通不畅的谈话
The pattern was observed by political scientist Andrew Hacker in the late '70s. Sociologist Catherine Kohler Riessman reports in her new book "Divorce Talk" that most of the women she interviewed -- but only a few of the men -- gave lack of communication as the reason for their divorces. Given the current divorce rate of nearly 50 percent, that amounts to millions of cases in the United States every year -- a virtual epidemic of failed conversation. 早在二十世纪七十年代末，政治学家Andrew Hacker 就注意到了这一行为方式。社会学家Catherine Kohler Riessman在她的新书《离婚谈话》中说，多数采访的女性把缺乏沟通作为她们离婚的原因，而受访的男子则微乎其微。考虑到目前近百分之五十的离婚率，这意味着在美国每年会有数以百万计的案例，所以交谈不畅在显示中如同一场瘟疫。

airport
30. errand: （名词）差事
*I seemed to spend my life running errands for people.似乎我一辈子都在为人跑腿。
*She was always sending me on errands. 她总是差遣我。
# on an errand
* I couldn't stop because I was on an errand.我不能停下来，因为我有事在身。
* He quickly set out on his errand of mercy. 他立马出发去帮助别人。
31. first and foremost: 用于强调最重要的品质、目的、原因等
* Dublin is thought of first and foremost for its literary heritage. 人们想到都柏林，主要是由于它的文学遗产。
In my own research, complaints from women about their husbands most often focused not on tangible inequities such as having given up the chance for a career to accompany a husband to his, or doing far more than their share of daily life-support work like cleaning, cooking, social arrangements and errands. Instead, they focused on communication: "He doesn't listen to me," "He doesn't talk to me." I found, as Hacker observed years before, that most wives want their husbands to be, first and foremost, conversational partners, but few husbands share this expectation of their wives. 在我自己的研究中，女性对丈夫的抱怨往往不是侧重于有形的不平等现象，如为了陪伴丈夫放弃自己的就业机会，或做了过多日常生活的工作，比如清洗、烹饪以及社交安排。相反，她们很在意沟通交流，她们会抱怨说：“他不听我讲话”或者“他不和我说话”。正如Hacker 多年前注意到的那样，我也发现，大多数妻子都希望自己的丈夫，首先并且最重要的，是成为交谈伙伴，但很少有丈夫有着和妻子同样的愿望。
32. stereotype: 对人或事的成规老套的想法（通常是不公正的或不真实的）# stereotype of
* women who don't fit the stereotype of the good mother. 那些女人不符合好母亲的老套想法
# stereotype about
* stereotypes about the elderly 对老年人的老套想法
—stereotypical（形容词）
* the stereotypical Californian - tall, fit, and tanned对加州人的老套看法是----长得高大、健美、肤色古铜色
* stereotypical cartoon scene：老套的卡通场景
33. to glare at: （愤怒地）盯着
辨别：stare at: (长时间地)盯着
peer: （费力地）看
* He was peering through the wet windscreen at the cars ahead. 他费力地透过车前
的湿湿的的挡风玻璃看。
* Philippa peered into the darkness.菲力普费力地望着一片漆黑。
glance at: （快速地）看
*The man glanced nervously at his watch. 那个男人紧张地看了一下他的表。
* In short, the image that best represents the current crisis is the stereotypical cartoon scene of a man sitting at the breakfast table with a newspaper held up in front of his face, while a woman glares at the back of it, wanting to talk. 简言之，最能表现当
前危机的一幅老套的漫画图片，其情景是：一个男子坐在早餐桌旁，面前举着一份报纸，而一名女子则生气地瞪着报纸的背面，很想说话。
本文主要讲述的是美国两性在沟通上的危机以及该危机对婚姻的危害。
第一段: 讲述了一个例子，导出本文话题：在公共场合，美国男子说话往往比妻子多，但在家里，他们说的特别少。
第二、三段：讲述了男性这一行为对婚姻的影响
第四段：重点分析了女性的心理，尤其是对家庭沟通的期待。
第五段: 以一幅漫画的内容再次重申了本文的主题：即良性沟通上的危机。
从五个题干看，大体了解到是关于丈夫和妻子关系的文章
6. What is most wives’ main expectation of their husbands?
A. Talking to them
B. Trusting them.
C. Supporting their careers.
D. Sharing housework.
一看到“what is”这是细节题，没有什么技术含量，回文定位。大体判断答案在第一第二段，但是第一段是具体的实例，可以在第二段中找到，“although",
"this pattern"都是提示词，可以看到although 后面的主句是主要信息：they often talk less at home. 所以妻子期待的是丈夫“talk more", 答案为（A）
7. Judging from the context, the phrase “wreaking havoc” (Line 3, Para. 2) most
probably means __________.
A. generating motivation
B. exerting influence
C. causing damage
D. creating pressure
“词汇习语句子”题，大多都是超纲词，熟词生义，在本质上是推理题。
两个思路：1）正面思路：借助于上下文（如在段首，看下文，在段尾，看上文，段中，看上下文）
2）反面思路：a. 代入验证，如果是正确的，顺畅的
b. 面子不等，里子等的选项
A. generating motivation （正面项）
B. exerting influence （中性项）
C. causing damage （负面项）
D. creating pressure（负面项）
鉴于词汇推断题的思路是跳出词汇本身，依据其前后信息的综合分析找到线索，在第三段的第二句...most of the women ...gave lack of communication as the reason for their divorces. 显然缺乏沟通给婚姻造成了破坏。答案选（C）
注：这里but only a few of the men....but 也是关键词
8. All of the following are true EXCEPT __________.
A. men tend to talk more in public than women
B. nearly 50 percent of recent divorces are caused by failed conversation
C. women attach much importance to communication between couples
D. a female tends to be more talkative at home than her spouse
四排一，三个在本质上具有相通性，一个不同于其他三个，“三同一不”原则，差异项是个特殊项。题干没有任何信号帮助你，大致确定段落的位置。四道题相当于细节题, 所以需要对选项一一回文定位，加以比照和判断。
（A中有talk, B, C D中都有conversation,
题目与选项的排序在很大程度上是一致的，所以第六题可以大胆地选A，我认为这条思路很重要）
A、D在逻辑上接近，均可回文定位到第二段首句：...although American men tend to talk more than women in public situations, they often talk less at home, 所以A和D是正确的，C可以回文定位到第四段具有instead，they focused on communication, (C）是正确的，选项（B）可以回文定位到第三段尾句，given the current rate of nearly 50% percent...原文只是提到“离婚率为50%”，但与（B)说的“50%的离婚率是因为交谈失败造成的”，所以（Ｂ）是错误的。
9. Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of this text?
A. The moral decaying deserves more research by sociologists.
B. Marriage break-up stems from sex inequalities.
C. Husband and wife have different expectations from their marriage.
D. Conversational patterns between man and wife are different.
有两个解题思路：１）鉴于主旨题的思路是对整篇文章做高度概括，可以将首段和尾端的信息做综合处理，首段episode 和尾段cartoon scene 都在讲述丈夫和妻子在家中交谈方式的差异，可见主旨是（Ｄ）
2）根据本篇文章的篇章结构，开头一段是episode, 本质上是个例子，而通过例子导出主题这样的“抛砖引玉”：this episode crystallizes the irony that although American men tend to talk more than women in public situations, they often talk less at home. And this pattern is wreaking havoc with marriage. 根据词句也同样选出（D）项。
（黄金原则：
第一段第一句话：过去式= 巨不重要
第二段第一句：This episode crystallizes彻底进行了概括，crystallizes 用了一般现在时，才是最重要的，illustrate 是抛砖引玉式的文章，后面的信息非常重要。
And this pattern is wreaking havoc with marriage. 这里的this又是题眼，才是命题老师要你抓住的内容。可以解答第七题了。
10. In the following part immediately after this text, the author will most probably focus
on __________.
A. a vivid account of the new book Divorce Talk （account 是“叙述”的意思）
B. a detailed description of the stereotypical cartoon。（“stereotypical”模式化的）
C. other possible reasons for a high divorce rate in the U.S.
D. a brief introduction to the political scientist Andrew Hacker
篇章推理题的思路是根据已知段落信息推理未知段落信息，具体到本题，就是对最后一段简要描述的一幅漫画情景做出分析推断，接下来很可能会就该漫画的细节做具体阐述。（B)为正确答案。其他选项关联性都不大。（这里关注account作“叙述，描述”的释义）

If you look hard enough, you’ll find that many of the products we use every day —chewing gums, skin moisturizers, disinfecting wipes, air fresheners, water purifiers, health snacks, antiperspirants, colognes, teeth whiteners, fabric softeners, vitamins —are results of manufactured habits.

高考英语阅读理解试题经典及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 When times get tough, we all look for ways to cut back. When we're hungry, we eat at home instead of going out. We take buses instead of taxis. And we wear our old designer jeans just a few months longer. With college expenses at all-time highs, high school students are eager to do anything to cut the cost of a university education. One cost-cutting proposal is to allow college students to get a bachelor's degree in three years instead of four. Educational institutions have been actively exploring ways to make the learning process more efficient. But there's a question: Would the quality of undergraduate education suffer? Few US universities have formally approved a "three-year degree" model. I doubt that mainstream North American colleges will carry out a three-year curriculum any time soon. For one thing, most universities already allow highly qualified students to graduate early by testing out of certain classes and obtaining a number of college credits. In addition, at famous universities, the committee who determine which courses are required and which courses are electives are unlikely to suddenly "throw out" one quarter of the required credits. Professors will resist "diluting (稀释)" the quality of the education they offer. In my opinion, a quality four-year education is always superior to a quality three-year education. A college education requires sufficient time for a student to become skilled in their major and do coursework in fields outside their major. It is not a good idea to water down education, any more than it's not a good idea to water down medicine. If we want to help students find their way through university, we should help them understand early on what knowledge and skills they need to have upon graduation. We should allow students to test out of as many courses as possible. We should give them a chance to earn money as interns (实习生) in meaningful part-time jobs that relate to their university studies, such as the five-year co-op program at Northeastern University. （1）Which of the following can best sum up the main idea? A.It's time to shorten the learning process. B.Best learning takes place over time. C.University education should be watered down. D.College education calls for reform. （2）We can learn from the passage that ________. A.most American universities are against the "three-year degree" model B.many famous US universities are considering adopting the "three-year degree" model C.professors are willing to accept the "three-year degree" model D.The "three-year degree" model can make college learning more efficient （3）In most US universities, ________. A.college students are offered the co-op program B.electives' credits make up one quarter of the required credits C.all students are required to finish four-year education before graduation D.some excellent students can graduate ahead of time

2020年高考英语（全国卷3）试题解读 2020 年的高考刚刚结束。在考试要求、形式和卷面结构上，今年高考与往年基本一致，但是今年的高考与往年相比，有四个新的特点，值得考生和家长注意。 一、选材上更加注重实用性 从今年的全国三卷的题目不难看出，现在的高考英语的文章和题目等，都更偏重生活化的表达。比如阅读的 A 篇生活化痕迹非常明显，甚至是直接来自于生活中的实际文章。阅读 B 篇也是一类偏重生活的内容。C 篇D 篇的主题也都是生活化的表达和实用性较高的内容。 事实上，2015 年高考英语取消语法单选题后，就一直在表现出要偏重实用的决心。英语作为一门语言，有它必备的语言规律。高考英语则是要在考查语言的同时，作为风向标，指导未来中学英语的教学。 既然已经是偏向实用，考生在复习高考时就应该更加多地偏重「理解」，尤其是在学习语言时，要考虑到「这一语言点是为了解决什么表达障碍、为了突出什么表达语境」等因素，不能再死记硬背，尤其不能像以往学习中的状态，盲目追求解题技巧，忽视背后的逻辑理解和应用。 从这个角度来看，英语学习中的「训练体系」就显得格外重要了。在训练时，所有不回归语境，不给考生提供理解的方法，全都应该摒弃。 二、难度上更加考查积累性 在全国三卷的七选五和完形填空中，考查了跟我们的生活息息相关的内容。不少考生反映「太难了」「看不懂」。阅读的 CD 两篇大家也有同样的困惑，因为这些事情比较抽象，涉及到的生词和陌生句式表达较多。
但事实上，这些内容的难度有两面性。如果平时注意做积累训练的同学，会觉得相当简单。不注重这些训练的同学，会觉得非常难。 值得一提的是，这里所谓的「积累训练」，仍然是「训练」，而不是盲目的积累。以笔者的学生为例，他们在考试后纷纷发来微信：“刘旸老师/教主！这次的阅读好多都是训练过的！”这些学生用词是「训练」。对比以往教学中的各种靠多做多练等题海战术的「积累」，「训练」的目的性会更强。所谓的训练，就是拆解考生在解题过程中的各个技术动作，每个技术动作辅以相应的练习。比如阅读的词汇和语法，必须在重视「高频词」和「长难句」的基础上，才能看懂。单这两个板块，就有海量的训练方法和模式。 综上，考生必须打破以往固有的「英语靠积累」的思路，拥抱训练，才可以有所突破。 三、知识上更加偏重运用度 今年的写作题目里，全国三卷考查了求助信，主题是请外教指导课本剧，并且没有给出提纲，而是直接要求考生补充短剧剧情、指导内容、修改要求、会面时间地点等。如果考生对此类题目不熟悉，或者话题不熟悉，是很难有发挥的余地的。 可以看到，虽然题目形式没有太大的变化，但是已经慢慢在开放度上予以加强了。往年考生只需要按照提纲按部就班地翻译即可完成一篇写作，但现在则需要自己补全若干信息。在这种情况下，还要确保自己的句式和词汇都是高水平的。这种对知识的综合运用度，前所未有。

2020年高考英语试题分析 一、试题总体特点 2020年高考的命题体现了科学设计考试内容，优化高考选拔功能，强化能力立意与素养导向，助力推动中学素质教育。 今年的高考英语试题都是-一个个语篇构成,充分体现了重语篇轻语法的原则。试题取材广泛性、体裁多样性，选材围绕人与自然、人与社会、自我发展三大主题，全面考察学生的能力，时代性强，拓展了学生全球视野，增强学生劳动精神的考察。试卷能很全面考查学生的英语语言能力，引导学生形成良好的思维品质，高考坚持立德树人，发展素质教育这一目标被充分的体现了。 二、试卷结构 2020年高考英语全国II卷试题整体难度与往年大体相同。无论从题型的设置上还是题目的难度上，都基本延续了2019年的出题模式。本套试题坚持了“科学性、目标性、发展性”的高考命题原则，重视对学生基础知识的考查，题型稳定，同时继续深化对英语实际使用能力的考查，相对弱化语法，加强阅读。整张试卷体现了回归英语语言本质的特色，凸显了英语学科的核心素养，在帮助孩子树立国际视野的同时，也兼顾到了国家情怀,彰显了立德树人的根本任务。 今年试卷秉承了多年来的一贯特点：材料体现丰富的文化内涵，体裁丰富多样有记叙文、说明文、应用文等；文章侧重考查学生的细节理解能力和推理判断能力。试题的语篇材料选材新颖，时代性强，话题涉及各个方面。 完形填空和往年一样是我们常见的记叙文，着重考查实词在语篇中的准确运用，难度适中。通过讲述一位Nicolo的工人在一次拍卖会上以低廉的价格拍得两幅画，后来无意中发现这两幅画是价值连城的作品。故事情节曲折动人，一波三折。 语法填空和短文改错涉及到动词、名词、形容词、副词、介词、连词、逻辑关系等常见考点。 三、模块分析 1. 阅读理解
