2022年考博英语-中共中央党校考前模拟强化练习题（附答案详解）1. 单选题Classics is a subject that exists in that gap between us and the world of the Greeks and Romans. The questions raised by Classics are the questions raised by our distance from their world and at the same time by our closeness to it, and by its familiarity to us in our museums, in our literature, languages, culture, and ways of thinking. The aim of Classics is not only to discover or uncover the ancient world (though that is part of it, as the rediscovery of Bassae). Its aim is also to define and debate our relationship to that world. This book will explore that relationship, and its history, starting from a spectacle that is familiar, but, at the same time, can become puzzling and strange: dismembered fragments of an ancient Greek temple put on show in the British Museum. In Latin the word museum once indicated; a temple of the Muses； in what respects is the modem museum the right place to preserve treasures from a classical temple? Does it only look the part? The issues raised by Bassae provide a model for understanding Classics in its widest sense. Of course, Classics is about more than the physical remains, the architecture, sculpture and painting, of ancient Greece and Rome. It is also about the poetry, philosophy, science and history written in the ancient world and still read and debated as part of our culture. But here too, essentially similar issues are at stake, questions about how we are to read literature which has a history of more than 2,000 years, written in a society very distant and different from our own. To read Platos writings on philosophical topics, for example, involves facing that difference, and trying to understand a society, the ancient Greece, in which writing came not in printed books but on papyrus rolls, each one copied by the hand of a slave; and in which philosophy was still thought of as an activity that went on in the open air life of the city, and was part of a social world of drinking and dinner. Even when philosophy became a subject for study in lecture and classroom, in its own right, it remained a very different business from our own academic tradition - for all that Platos school was the original Academy named after a suburb of Athens. On the other hand, remote or not, to read Plato is also to lead philosophy that belongs to us, not just to them. Plato is still the most commonly read philosopher in the world; and as we read him now, we inevitably read him as part of our philosophical tradition, in the light of all those philosophers who have come since, who themselves had read Plato. Every survival from the classical world is, of course, unique. At the same time, as this book will show, there are problems, stories, questions, significances that all those survivals hold in common; there is a place in our cultural story that they (and only they) share. That, and reflection on that, amounts to Classics. 1.According to the passage, which of the following can be inferred about Classics?2.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true of Plato?3.The word “them” in paragraph 4 refers to （ ）.4.The passage is most likely a part of （ ）.5.The title that best expresses the idea of the passage is （ ）问题1选项A.Classics can only be understood from the treasure in the modem museums.B.Classics may just be snapshots of the ancient world.C.Classics are not only for one age but also for all time.D.Only those appearing in ancient Greece can be called Classics.问题2选项A.Plato lived in a time when paper was made from the papyrus plant.B.Plato lived in a time when philosophy is part of peoples daily life.C.Platos writings were found in the Temple of Bassae.D.Platos writings are read by all people both in ancient times and at present.问题3选项A.the ancient peopleB.Platos studentsC.the Greek slavesD.philosophers问题4选项A.conclusionB.afterwordC.prefaceD.book review问题5选项A.Us and Them: ClassicsB.Philosophy and PlatoC.Museum and ClassicsD.Classics【答案】第1题:C第2题:C第3题:A第4题:C第5题:A【解析】1.推断题。根据文章第一段，“The questions raised by Classics are the questions raised by our distance from their world and at the same time by our closeness to it, and by its familiarity to us in our museums, in our literature, languages, culture, and ways of thinking.”，可知古典文学提出的问题来自于我们和遥远世界的距离，与此同时，也是近距离时代的问题，以及在我们熟悉的博物馆、文学、语言、文化和思维方式中提出的问题。可推断出古典文学适用于所有时代。选项C符合题意。2.推断题。根据文章第三段，“the ancient Greece, in which writing came not in printed books but on papyrus rolls”，可知在古希腊，文字不是写在纸上，而是印在纸草卷上。所以选项A符合文意，可排除。根据文章第三段，“in which philosophy was still thought of as an activity that went on in the open air life of the city, and was part of a social world of drinking and dinner.”，可知在柏拉图时代，哲学是人们生活的一部分，选项B符合文意，可排除。根据文章第四段，“remote or not, to read Plato is also to lead philosophy that belongs to us, not just to them.”，不管时代
