24、的假设，从句用过去式，主句用would/could/should/might动词原形。 2B 句意为：他们出价聘请著名艺术家来为自己画像，画自己的房屋和其他财物，以及他们的活动和成就。as well as 除之外( 也)，还；as long as 只要；as far as 远到；as soon as 一就。3C 考查“介词关系代词”引导的定语从句。be famous for 因为而著名，先行词是 masterpieces 指物，故排除 A 项。位于介词后指物的关系代词用 which，不用 that，排除 B 项。 4B 此处 to work outdoors 为不定式短语作后置定语，修饰 th
25、e first painters，不定式与所修饰的词是主谓关系。在主谓关系中，不定式所修饰的名词或代词前面常有only，next，序数词或形容词最高级等修饰。5B 句意为：他们的画不像以前那些画家们的画那样细致。that 用来代替前面提到过的单数可数名词或不可数名词，其复数形式是 those，此处 those 指代前文提到的paintings。ones 用来替代前面出现的复数名词，所替代的是同名异物，表示泛指；it 特指上文提到过的同名同物，不带任何修饰语。6A 此处是 what 引导的宾语从句， what 在宾语从句中作宾语。7A 句意为：如今，现代艺术风格有好几十种，然而如果没有印象派，那
26、么这许多不同的风格就不可能存在。score 作“ 二十”讲时，单复数同形；表示准确的数量时，score前加数字，后面的 of 可省略； scores of 许多，大量。后半部分由 without 引导的介词短语是一个暗含的非真实条件，主句用虚拟语气：would/ could/should/might动词原形。8B abstract 抽象的；absolute 绝对的；absorbed 精神集中的；attractive 吸引人的，有魅力的。根据题意，只有 B 项符合。9B 句意为：他试图摆脱困境，但没有人会帮他。attempt to do sth.企图/试图做某事。succeed in doing
27、 sth.与 manage to do sth.都表示成功地做了某事，跟后面的转折语气相矛盾，D 不合题意。10A 句意为：一方面，我们要发展经济；另一方面，我们要保护环境。 on the other hand 另一方面；as a matter of fact 事实上；that is 即，也就是说；in other words 换句话说。.1.C 词义猜测题。根据前文“No matter what objects they select，artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change.”可知，他们发现的是与以前不同的东西，故选C 项。2C 细节理解题。根据第二段第五、六句话可知，故选 C 项。3D 推理判断题。根据最后两句话可知。4B 主旨大意题。文章各段分别分析不同历史时期的作品主题、对现实的不同理解、不同的艺术风格等，故选 B 项。
