（1）第2题：
People living today in the northwestern state of Washington who have many sources
of news in addition to newspapers must stretch their imaginations to understand the
importance of the press during much of the state's history. Beginning in 1852 with
The Cohumblan. the first paper in laceName>WashingtonlaceName> laceType>TerritorylaceType>, ,lewspapers served to connect
settlers in frontier communities with each other and with the rnajor events of their times.
Unlike many mid-century papers, The Columbian, published every Saturday in Olympia,
one of Washington's larger towns, was "neutral in politics," meaning that it was not the
organ of a particular political party or religious group. For its first few years, it was the
only newspaper in the territory, but during the following decades, enterprising
Washingtonians founded many other papers. Few of these papers lasted long. Until the
turn of the century, most were the production of an individual editor, who might begin
with insufficient capital or fail to attract a steady readership. Often working with no
staff at all, these editors wrote copy, set type, delivered papers, oversaw billing, and
sold advertising. Their highly personal journals reflected their own tastes, politics, and
known as the "Oregon style"--graphic, torrid, and potentially libelous.
Early newspapers were thick with print, carrying no illustrations or cartoons.
Advertising was generally confined to the back pages and simply listed commodities
received by local stores. Toward the end of the century, newspapers in Washington
began to carry national advertising, especially from patent medicine companies, which
bought space from agencies that brokered ads in papers all over the country. By 1900,
Washington boasted 19 daily and 176 weekly papers. Especially in the larger cities, they
reflected less the personal opinions of the editor than the interests of the large businesses
they had become. They subscribed to the Associated Press and United Press news
services, and new technology permitted illustrations. Concentrating on features, crime
reporting, and sensationalism, they imitated the new mass-circulation papers that William
Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer were making popular throughout the United States.
2. What does the passage imply about early Washington newspapers?
(A) People relied on them as their primary source of news.
(B) They contained important historical articles.
(C) They were not as informative as today's newspapers.
(D) They rarely reflected the views of any particular religion.
答案是C，但是C是原文全然没有提到的啊？怎么变成了正确答案了呢？不明白，我选了D（原文中在第7-8行：was "neutral in politics," meaning that it was not the organ of a particular political party or religious group.）
（2）第4题：
4. In line 13, the word "oversaw" is closest in meaning to
(A) estimated
(B) supervised
(C) collected
(D) provided
答案居然是A，我选了B，真搞不明白是怎么回事？
（3）第9题：
9. In line 22, the word "boasted" is closest in meaning to
(A) planned
(B) financed
(C) was forced to close
(D) took pride in having
答案是B，怎么看也不像啊？我选了D。
（4）第10题：
Europa is the smallest of planet Jupiter's four largest moons and the second moon
out from Jupiter. Until 1979, it was just another astronomy textbook statistic. Then
came the close-up images obtained by the exploratory spacecraft Voyager 2, and within
days, Europa was transformed--in our perception, at least--into one of the solar system's
most intriguing worlds. The biggest initial surprise was the ahnost total lack of detail,
especially from far away. Even at close range, the only visible features are thin, kinked
brown lines resembling cracks in an eggshell. And this analogy is not far offthe mark.
The surface of Europa is almost pure water ice, but a nearly complete absence of
craters indicates that Europa's surface ice resembles Earth's Antarctic ice cap. The
eggshell analogy may be quite accurate since the ice could be as little as a few kilometers
thick--a tree shell around what is likely a subsurface liquid ocean that, in turn, encases
a rocky core. The interior of Europa has been kept warm over the cons by tidal forces
generated by the varying gravitational tugs of the other big moons as they wheel around
Jupiter. The tides on Europa pull and relax in an endless cycle. The resulting internal heat
keeps what would otherwise be ice melted almost to the surface. The cracklike marks on
Europa's icy face appear to be fractures where water or slush oozes from below.
Soon after Voyager 2's encounter with Jupiter in 1979, when the best images of
Europa were obtained, researchers advanced the startling idea that Europa's subsurface
ocean might harbor life. Life processes could have begun when Jupiter was releasing a
vast store of internal heat. Jupiter's early heat was produced by the compression of the
material forming the giant planet. Just as the Sun is far less radiant today than the primal
Sun, so the internal heat generated by Jupiter is minor compared to its former intensity.
During this warm phase, some 4.6 billion years ago, Europa's ocean may have been liquid
right to the surface, making it a crucible for life.
10. What does the passage mainly discuss?
(A) The effect of the tides on Europa's interior
(B) Temperature variations on Jupiter's moons
(C) Discoveries leading to a theory about one of Jupiter's moons
(D) Techniques used by Voyager 2 to obtain close-up images
答案是D，是这个答案吗？我选了C，不明白啊
（5）第24题：
The term "print" has several meanings, so it is important to understand exactly what is
meant by the artistic terminology. A print in the artistic sense is not a reproduction of a
work of art done in some other medium, such as painting or drawing. That can in no sense
be considered a work of art, since the artist had no involvement with it. A print is an original
work of art created by an indirect method. Instead of making an image directly on a surface,
as in drawing or painting, the artist works on a master surface, which may be a sheet of
metal, a block of stone, wood, plastic, or linoleum. From this master surface, numerous
impressions may be made by inking the surface, laying a sheet of paper on it, and then
subjecting both surface and paper to pressure, generally by means of a printing press.
A print may exist in several versions. Sometimes the printmaker alters the image between
impressions, so that each print is slightly different from the others. Any series of such prints
is referred to as multiples. The number of impressions (known as the edition) that are
possible from a single original varies with the material. Prints made from linoleum, which
wears readily, will be fewer than those made from a metal plate, which is capable of striking
fine-quality prints in the thousands. It is customary to number prints as they come off the
press, the earlier impressions being the finest and therefore the most desirable.
Prints incorporate the same compositional principles, as paintings. Line, shape, or texture
may be the predominant element according to the printing technique used. Some prints have
obvious decorative qualities while others may be filled with emotional impact.
Printmaking derives from two historical sources: early woodblocks into which an
image was cut and used to illustrate a book or playing cards, and the medieval practice of
decorating metal with incised designs, as in armor. Today most techniques fall into one of
four categories: relief( intaglio, lithography, and serigraphy. However, there are many
variations, combinations with photographic techniques, and considerable overlapping.
24. Which of the following terms is NOT defined in the passage?
(A) "print" (line I)
(B) "impressions" (line 8)
(C) "multiples" (line 12)
(D) "edition" (line 12)
答案是C，但是C不是在原文中有明确定义的吗（在原文第11-12行Any series of such prints is referred to as multiples.）？我选了D
后面还有第26题
26. The word "customary" in line 15 is closest in meaning to
(A) necessary
(B) attractive
(C) legal
(D) usual
答案居然是B，我选D

28. It can be inferred that prints may differ from other works of art in terms of all of the following EXCEPT
(A) compositional principles
(B) use of line, shape, or texture
(C) decorative qualities
