All but two pieces sold, fetching more than £70m, a record for a sale by a single artist. 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.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.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.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."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.(分数:20.00)(1).In the first paragraph, Damien Hirst"s sale was referred to as "a last victory" because (分数:4.00)A.the art market had witnessed a succession of victories.B.the auctioneer finally got the two pieces at the highest bids.C.Beautiful Inside My Head Forever won over all masterpieces.D.it was successfully made just before the world financial crisis. √解析:[解析] 含义题。

相关推荐:新东⽅校推荐: It is said that inEngland death is pressing, in Canada inevitable and in California optional.Small wonder. Americans’ life expectancy has nearly doubled over the past century. Failinghips can be replaced, clinical depression controlled, cataracts removed in a30-minute surgical procedure. Such advances offer the aging population aquality of life that was unimaginable when I entered medicine 50 years ago. Butnot even a great health-care system can cure death—and ourfailure to confront that reality now threatens this greatness of ours。

Death is normal; we are genetically programmed to disintegrate andperish, even under ideal conditions. We all understand that at some level, yetas medical consumers we treat death as a problem to be solved. Shielded bythird-party payers from the cost of our care, we demand everything that canpossibly be done for us, even if it's useless. The most obvious example islate-stage cancer care. Physicians—frustrated by theirinability to cure the disease and fearing loss of hope in the patient—too oftenoffer aggressive treatment far beyond what is scientifically justified。

OnePart ADirections:Read the following four texts.Answer the questions below each text by choosing A,B,C or D.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1.(40points)Text1Not long after the telephone was invented,I assume,a call was placed.The caller was a parent saying,“your child is bullying my child,and I want it stopped!”The bully's parent replied,“you must have the wrong number.My child is a little angel.”A trillion phone calls later,the conversation is the same.When children are teased or tyrannized,the parental impulse is to grab the phone and rant.But these days,as studies in the U.S.show bullying on the rise and parental supervision on the decline,researchers who study bullying say that calling moms and dads is more futile than ever.Such calls often lead to playground recriminations and don't really teach our kids any lessons about how to navigate the world and resolve conflicts.When you call parents,you want them to“extract the cruelty”from their bullying children,says Laura Kavesh,a child psychologist in Evanston,Illinois.“But many parents are blown away by the idea of their child being cruel.They won t believe it.”In a recent police department survey in Oak Harbor,Washington,89%of local high school students said they had engaged in bullying behavior.Yet only18%of parents thought their children would act as bullies.In a new U.S.PTA survey,5%of parents support contacting other parents to deal with bullying.But many educators warn that those conversations can be misinterpreted,causing tempers to flare.Instead,they say,parents should get objective outsiders,like principals,to mediate.Meanwhile,if you get a call from a parent who is angry about your child's bullying,listen without getting defensive.That's what Laura McHugh of Castro Valley,California,did when a caller told her that her then13-year-old son had spit in another boy's food.Her son had confessed,but the victim's mom“wanted to make sure my son hadn't given her son a nasty disease,”says McHugh,who apologized and promised to get her son tested for AIDS and other diseases.She knew the chance of contracting any disease this way was remote,but her promise calmed the mother and showed McHugh's son that his bad behaviour was being taken seriously.McHugh,founder of Parents Coach Kids,a group that teaches parenting skills, sent the mom the test results.All were negative.Remember:once you make a call,you might not like what you hear.If you have an itchy dialing finger,resist temptation.Put it in your pocket.[419words]1.The word“bullying”probably means______.[A]frightening and hurting[B]teasing[C]behaving like a tyrant[D]laughing at2.Calling to a bully's parent.______.[A]has long existed but changed its content[B]is often done with careful thinking[C]often leads to blaming and misunderstanding[D]is used to warn the child not to do it again3.According to the surveys in the U.S.,_______.[A]bullying among adults is also rising[B]parents are not supervising their children well[C]parents seldom believe bullies[D]most parents resort to calling to deal with bullying4.When bullying occurs,parents should_______.[A]help the bulling child

confessed to being wrong[B]she was afraid to annoy the boy's parent[C]he was likely to be affected by these diseases[D]she wanted to teach her own son a lesson核心词汇blow away*①to completely surprise

2017考研英语一阅读理解Text 4真题及答案解析

2017考研英语一阅读理解Text 4真题及答案解析

Text 4In a rare unanimous ruling, the US Supreme Court has overturned thecorruption?conviction of a former Virginia governor, Robert McDonnell.?But it did so while holding its nose at the ethics of his conduct, which included accepting gifts such as a Rolex watch and a Ferrari automobile from a company seeking access to government.The high court’s decision said the judge in Mr. McDonnell’s trial failed to tell a jury that it must look only at his “official acts,”or the former governor’s decisions on “specific”and “unsettled”issues related to his duties.Merely helping a gift-giver gain access to other officials, unless done with clear intent to pressure those officials, is not corruption, the justices found.The court did suggest that accepting favors in return for opening doors is “distasteful”and “nasty.”But under anti-bribery laws, proof must be made of concrete benefits, such as approval of a contract or regulation. Simply arranging a meeting, making a phone call, or hosting an event is not an “official act”.The court’s ruling is legally sound in defining a kind of favoritism that is not criminal. Elected leaders must be allowed to help supporters deal with bureaucratic problems without fear of prosecution for bribery.”The basic compact underlying representative government,”wrote Chief Justice John Roberts for the court,”assumes that public officials will hear from their constituents and act on their concerns.”But the ruling reinforces the need for citizens and their elected representatives, not the courts, to ensure equality of access to government. Officials must not be allowed to play favorites in providing information or in arranging meetings simply because an individual orgroup provides a campaign donation or a personal gift. This type of integrity requireswell-enforced laws in government transparency, such as records of official meetings, rules on lobbying, and information about each elected leader’s source of wealth.Favoritism in official access can fan public perceptions of corruption. But it is not always corruption. Rather officials must avoid double standards, or different types of access for average people and the wealthy. If connections can be bought, a basic premise of democratic society—that all are equal in treatment by government—is undermined. Good governance rests on an understanding of the inherent worth of each individual.The court’s ruling is a step forward in the struggle against both corruption and official favoritism.36. The undermined sentence (Para.1) most probably shows that the court _______.[A] avoided defining the extent of McDonnell’s duties.[B] made no compromise in convicting McDonnell.[C] was contemptuous of McDonnell’s conduct.[D] refused to comment on McDonnell’s ethics.【答案】C【解析】答案为C。

2017考研英语真题解析之阅读题

2017考研英语真题解析之阅读题跨考教育英语教研室—项硕考试一结束,就有学生留言告诉我,好高兴呀,今年的英语阅读依然很简单呢。

然而,我们跨考陪考的英语老师说今年的阅读题目出得蛮有心机的呢。

学生说简单,老师说不简单,因缺思厅。

那真相只有一个,文章不难,但是题目不简单。

考后跟我打听英语答案的同学很多,因为某道题不确定答案来跟我讨论的同学更多。

其中有一道题可以说是独得众位同学的恩宠,就是阅读第二篇文章的第30题,也就是最后一题——问作者对于choosing Mauna Kea as the TMT site 选址Mauna Kea建TMT天文望远镜的态度是怎样。

毋庸置疑,这是一道态度题,文章里头的attitude明明白白地说明了这一点,四个选项里的老熟人,什么criticism,approval更是进一步佐证了我们的判断。

其实我们在课堂上讲态度题的解题思路时,往往第一步就是先判断题型,套路那么多,不用对怎么可以。

那态度题的特征之一就是题干中的attitude,另外一个更显著的特征是选项中的表示态度的词汇,好比optimistic,skeptical等等。

确定了题型后,重点到了,怎么做?态度题的解题关键有两个,第一点是主旨,有时候文章的主旨句就直接能看出作者的态度,是支持还是反对,要是不明显,那就有可能是中性。

当然,也可能还要用到第二个关键,也就是情感色彩。

一般表达情感色彩的词都是形容词和副词,所以多关注形容词和副词你就能看出作者态度了,也就是所谓的察言观色,比方说什么unfortunately,regrettable等等。

如果以上你还觉得不够解渴,担心范围太大,找不到,那我再友情赠送一个圣诞大礼包:全文态度题往往在最后一段都能找到线索,嘘,小声点。

办法肯定是管用的,要是不管用,那肯定是你没用对,我们不妨以2017年英语阅读第二篇的最后一题来试一试。

这道全文态度题咱们可以通过情感色彩来找到线索,有人问为什么不用主旨句找?很简单,因为很多人找不着主旨句,而这篇文章的主旨句也没有明显到长眼睛就能发现。

”And oneleading authority says that, these intensely powerful mental events can be notonly harnessed but actually brought under conscious control, to help us sleepand feel better. “It’s your dream,” says Rosalind Cartwright, chair of psychology at Chicago’s MedicalCenter. “If you don’t like it, change it。

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D。

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET。

(40 points)Text 1Every Saturday morning,at 9 am,more than 50,000 runners set off to run 5km around their local park。

The Parkrun phenomenon began with a dozen friends and has inspired 400 events in the UK and more abroad。

Events are free, staffed by thousands of volunteers。

Runners range from four years old to grandparents; their times range from Andrew Baddeley’s world record 13 minutes 48 seconds up to an hour。

Parkrun is succeeding where London’s Olympic “legacy” is failing。

Ten years ago on Monday, it was announced that the Games of the 30th Olympiad would be in London。

Planning documents pledged that the great legacy of the Games would be to level a nation of sport lovers away from their couches。

但最近Rough Trade的最新商业计划—于11月25日在纽约开张的15,000平方尺的超大音像店的这一计划着实令人震惊。

Between 2001 and 2012 the number of independent music shops in Britain fell by 69%. Overthe same period physical album sales fell by 68%. The American market is no healthier.Expanding in either country seems barmy.在2001年至2012年间,英国独立音像店的数量减少了69%,与此同时,实体专辑的发售量也下降了68%,实际上美国的音像市场也并没有好多少,因此此时无论是在这其中哪个国家扩大店面都不太切合实际。

2017考研英语一阅读理解真题及答案详解

2016年考研英语一真题阅读理解及答案解析完整版SectionⅡReading ComprehensionPart AText1France,which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion,has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for women.Its lawmakers gave preliminary approval last week to a law that would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models on runways.The parliament also agreed to ban websites that“incite excessive thinness”by promoting extreme dieting.Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives.They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health.That’s a start.And the ban on ultra-thin models seems to go beyond protecting models from starving themselves to death-as some have done.It tells the fashion industry that it must take responsibility for the signal it sends women,especially teenage girls,about the socialtape-measure they must use to determine their individual worth.The bans,if fully enforced,would suggest to women(and many men)that they should not let others be arbiters of their beauty. And perhaps faintly,they hint that people should look tointangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to size zero or wasp-waist physiques.The French measures,however,rely too much on severe punishment to change a culture that still regards beauty as skin-deep—and bone-showing.Under the law,using a fashion model that does not meet a government-defined index of body mass could result in a$85,000fine and six months in prison.The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing on material adornment and idealized body types.In Denmark,the United States,and a few other countries,it is trying to set voluntary standards for models and fashion images that rely more on peer pressure for enforcement.In contrast to France’s actions,Denmark’s fashion industry agreed last month on rules and sanctions regarding the age, health,and other characteristics of models.The newly revised Danish Fashion Ethical Charter clearly states:“We are aware of and take responsibility for the impact the fashion industry has on body ideals,especially on young people.’The charter’s main tool of enforcement is to deny access for designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen Fashion Week,which is run by the Danish Fashion Institute.But in general it relies on a name-and-shame method of compliance.Relying on ethical persuasion rather than law to address the misuse of body ideals may be the best step.Even better would be to help elevate notions of beauty beyond the material standards of a particular industry.21.According to the first paragraph,what would happen in France?[A]Physical beauty would be redefined.[B]New runways would be constructed.[C]Websites about dieting would thrive.[D]The fashion industry would decline.【答案】[A]Physical beauty would be redefined【解析】推断题。

2017考研英语阅读理解题材解析之艺术市场每年考研英语阅读篇章很多都取材于经济学人,因此年考研复习之初,一定要从基础打好,稳扎稳打。

凯程考研频道分享《经济学人》文章,希望大家能够多看、多练,提升阅读能力!考研英语阅读题源经济学人文章:艺术市场The art market艺术市场Fairly popular相当流行The rapid growth of art fairs is changing the waygalleries operate艺术品集会的快速发展正在改变画廊的运转方式That won't fit in the living room那并不适合放客厅里SHORTL Y after The Economist went to press, about 25,000 people were expected to turn up atthe London Art Fair. Your correspondent visited just before, as 128 white booths were beingfilled with modern paintings and sculptures. Dealers clutched mobile phones to their ears orgathered in small groups. They seemed nervous—as well they might be. “I can earn a year'sliving in one fair,”said one harried dealer while stringing up a set of lights.就在本期《经济学人》付印后不久,预计有两万五千人次参加伦敦艺术博览会。

笔者之前参观过这个艺术博览会,现代画和现代风格的雕塑填满了128个白色展览位。

商人们紧紧把手机贴在耳朵旁,或者三五成群。

他们看上去神情紧张—也许事实也如此。

一位忙碌的经销商一边忙着吊起组灯,一边说“一次博览会能让我挣足一年的生计”。

Before 1999 London had just one regular contemporary art fair, remembers Will Ramsay,boss of the expanding Affordable Art Fair. This year around 20 will be held in Britain, mostly inthe capital. Roughly 90 will take place worldwide. The success of larger events such as Frieze,which started in London, has stimulated the growth of smaller fairs specialising in craft work,ceramics and other things. Art14, which started last year, specialises in less well-knowninternational galleries, showing art from Sub-Saharan Africa, South Korea and Hong Kong.逐步壮大的平价艺术品展览会老板拉姆齐,犹记得1999年之前,伦敦只有一个定期开展的当代艺术博览会。

今年,英国将开展20余场,大都聚集在首都伦敦。

粗略估计,全世界范围内会开展约90个艺术博览会。

一些大型博览会,如开办于伦敦的斐列兹博览会刺激了小型专业于艺术品、陶艺品之类博览会的成长。

去年开办的Art14博览会专注于一些不知名的画廊,专门展出一些来自黑非洲、韩国以及香港的艺术品。

One explanation for the boom is the overall growth of the modern-art market. Four-fifths ofall art sold at auction worldwide last year was from the 20th or 21st century, according toArtprice, a database. In November an auction in New York of modern and contemporary artmade $691m (£422m), easily breaking the previous record. As older art becomes harder tobuy —much of it is locked up in museums—demand for recent works is rising.艺术博览会的快速发展原因之一是全球当代艺术品市场的发展。

据调研公司Artprice的数据,去年全球拍卖的艺术品中,有五分之四源于20世纪和21世纪。

11月,纽约的一场现当代拍卖会创下了6亿9千1百万美元(约合4亿2千2百万欧元)交易额,轻松打破先前的记录。

由于历史悠久些的艺术品变得难以购买(大部分都被锁在了博物馆里),所以对于近现代艺术品的需求有所上升。

London's art market in particular has been boosted by an influx of rich immigrants fromRussia, China and the Middle East. “When I started 23 years ago I had not a single non-Western foreign buyer,”says Kenny Schachter, an art dealer. “It's a different world now.”AndLondon's new rich buy art differently. They often spend little time in the capital and do not knowit well. Traipsing around individual galleries is inconvenient, particularly as galleries have movedout of central London. The mall-like set-up of a fair is much more suitable.伦敦的艺术品市场还尤其受来自俄罗斯、中国和中东移民浪潮推动。

“23年前我刚开始入行的时候,我连一个非西方买主都没有”一名艺术品经销商沙克特说道:“世道变了”。

而且伦敦的新富购买艺术品口味各异。

他们很少花时间在成本上,对此了解也不多。

漫步在个人画廊中很不便,尤其是当画廊都从伦敦市中心搬出去后。

而商场式的集会设置就显得更为合适。

Commercial galleries used to rely on regular visits from rich Britons seeking to furnish theirstately homes. Many were family friends. The new art buyers have no such loyalty. People nowvisit galleries mainly to go to events and to be seen, says Alan Cristea, a gallery owner on Corkstreet in Mayfair. Fairs, and the parties that spring up around them, are much better places tobe spotted.商业画廊过去一向依靠那些英国富人的定期造访,他们寻求艺术品来装饰他们富丽堂皇的家。

还有一些还是亲友。

那些新兴艺术品购买者没有这么忠诚。

梅菲尔区科克街的画廊主克里斯蒂说,人们现在造访画廊主要是去参加活动。

他们的周围充斥着各种集市还有聚会,都是更值得去的地方。

Some galleries are feeling squeezed. Bernard Jacobson runs a gallery opposite Mr Cristea. Thechanging art market reminds him of when his father, a chemist, was eclipsed by Boots, apharmaceutical chain, in the 1960s. Seven galleries in Cork Street relocated this month to makeway for a redevelopment; five more may follow later this year.一些画廊感受到了相当的压力。

雅各布森经营的画廊就在克里斯蒂的对面。

艺术品市场的变化提醒他,他的化学家父亲因上世纪六十年代的制药锁链而失败。

本月,科克街的七家画廊为了再发展决定迁址;还有五家在今年末也会跟随他们的脚步迁址。

Yet the rise of the fairs means galleries no longer require prime real estate, thinks Sarah Monkof the London Art Fair. With an international clientele, many can work online or from home.Although some art fairs still require their exhibitors to have a gallery space, increasingly theseare small places outside central London or beyond the city altogether. One gallery owner saysfew rich customers ever visit his shop in south London. He makes all his contacts at the boothshe sets up at fairs, which might be twice the size of his store. “It's a little like fishing,”heexplains. “You move to where the pike is.”伦敦艺术博览会的芒克认为,艺术品集市的兴起意味着画廊再不需要黄金地带。
