9、d 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

10、. 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. 世界藝術(shù)品市場(chǎng)在經(jīng)歷了2003年起的急劇上升后， 一段時(shí)間以來其發(fā)展勢(shì)頭已經(jīng)開始喪失。Clare McAndrew 是一家名叫Arts Economics,研究公司的創(chuàng)始人， 他估計(jì)在2007年的高峰期， 世界藝術(shù)品市場(chǎng)的價(jià)值約為

11、650億美元， 是五年前的兩倍。 從那時(shí)起， 它的價(jià)值可能已經(jīng)降到500億美元。 但是藝術(shù)品市場(chǎng)產(chǎn)生的利益遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出它本身的規(guī)模， 因?yàn)樗鼌R集了巨大的財(cái)富、膨脹的自我、貪婪、激情和爭(zhēng)議。 其方式幾乎沒有哪個(gè)產(chǎn)業(yè)能與之相提并論。18. to stay away from: 遠(yuǎn)離19. sector: 領(lǐng)域， 部門20. guarantee: （名詞） 保證金* In the weeks and months that followed Mr. Hirsts sale, spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable.

13、rly $200m in guarantees to clients who had placed works for sale with them. 在Hirst的作品拍賣會(huì)后的幾個(gè)星期和幾個(gè)月里， 任何此類的投資都變得很不合時(shí)宜。 在藝術(shù)品領(lǐng)域， 這意味著收藏家遠(yuǎn)離了畫廊和銷售店。 當(dāng)代藝術(shù)品的銷售額下降了三分之二， 而在最熱門的領(lǐng)域， 那一年的銷售額截止到2008年11月份下跌了近90%。 幾周之內(nèi)， 世界上兩家最大的拍賣行， 蘇富比和佳士得， 不得不支付近兩億美元把那些早已把作品交與他們出售的客戶， 以作為擔(dān)保費(fèi)用。 21. downturn: （名詞）下降， 衰退， 低迷 the c

16、峰值來講下降了大約百分之四十， 盡管有些價(jià)格波動(dòng)的幅度更大。 但佳士得的首席執(zhí)行官Edward Dolman說：“我們現(xiàn)在已處于谷底， 對(duì)此我深信不疑?！?6. slump: （名詞） 低潮， 銳減= downturn 27. to keep away: 遠(yuǎn)離= to stay away from What makes this slump different from the last, he says, is that there are still buyers in the market.

18、在買家。 幾乎每位接受這個(gè)特別報(bào)道采訪的人都說， 當(dāng)前最大的問題不是缺乏需求， 而是沒有好的作品銷售。 三D因素-death(死亡)、debt(債務(wù))、divorce(離婚)-依然會(huì)把藝術(shù)品推向市場(chǎng)。 但所有那些不必出手的人正在遠(yuǎn)離市場(chǎng)， 等待市場(chǎng)信心的回歸。 文章結(jié)構(gòu)：本文主要就世界藝術(shù)品市場(chǎng)的低迷狀況進(jìn)行論述。 第一段：指出藝術(shù)市場(chǎng)上持續(xù)一個(gè)世紀(jì)的牛市結(jié)束了， 標(biāo)志就是達(dá)米安赫斯特56部作品的出售。第二段：回顧了自2003年至今， 藝術(shù)市場(chǎng)的走勢(shì)情況， 即在經(jīng)歷了急劇的上升期后， 藝術(shù)市場(chǎng)的勢(shì)頭大減。第三段：對(duì)低迷的藝術(shù)市場(chǎng)進(jìn)行詳細(xì)的分析。第四段：指出盡管當(dāng)前的藝術(shù)市場(chǎng)狀況糟糕， 但佳士得

19、的總裁仍有信心期待市場(chǎng)的復(fù)蘇。第五段：指出這次衰退與以往的不同之處是市場(chǎng)上仍存在需求， 但缺乏好的作品， 原因是許多賣主在等待未來的時(shí)機(jī)。 試題分析1.

Some art dealers were awaiting better chances to come.（尾段尾句）排除性判斷題，題干往往缺乏信號(hào)詞，所以需要一一回文定位，加以比較和判斷，由于相對(duì)繁瑣費(fèi)事，我們需要“無比耐心”（）回文定位到第二段第二、三句At its peak in 2007 it was worth some $65 b

26、t, of any sort=generally 和in various ways, became deeply unfashionable=went downward, 所以（C）正確（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） 正確（B）是無中生有，雖然有標(biāo)志性的詞momentum， 但回到有momentum的地方定位， 完全歪曲了愿望。 正確答案應(yīng)該選（）4. The three Ds mentioned in the

43、nt divorce rate of nearly 50 percent, that amounts to millions of cases in the United States every year - a virtual epidemic of failed conversation. 早在二十世紀(jì)七十年代末， 政治學(xué)家Andrew Hacker 就注意到了這一行為方式。 社會(huì)學(xué)家Catherine Kohler Riessman在她的新書離婚談話中說， 多數(shù)采訪的女性把缺乏溝通作為她們離婚的原因， 而受訪的男子則微乎其微。 考慮到目前近百分之五十的離婚率， 這意味著在美國(guó)每年會(huì)有數(shù)

48、 of daily life-support work like cleaning, cooking, social arrangements and errands. Instead關(guān)注紅色字“not”, “instead”是出現(xiàn)題眼的地方, 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 the

49、ir 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， 女性對(duì)丈夫的抱怨往往不是側(cè)重于有形的不平等現(xiàn)象， 如為了陪伴丈夫放棄自己的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)， 或做了過多日常生活的工作， 比如清洗、烹飪以及社交安排。 相反， 她們很在意溝通交流， 她們會(huì)抱怨說：“他不聽我講話”或者“他不和我說話”。 正如Hacker 多年前注意到的那樣， 我也發(fā)現(xiàn)， 大多數(shù)妻子都希望自己的丈夫， 首先并且最重要的， 是成為交談

50、伙伴， 但很少有丈夫有著和妻子同樣的愿望。 32. stereotype: 對(duì)人或事的成規(guī)老套的想法（通常是不公正的或不真實(shí)的） # stereotype of * women who don't fit the stereotype of the good mother. 那些女人不符合好母親的老套想法# stereotype about * stereotypes about the elderly 對(duì)老年人的老套想法stereotypical （形容詞） * the stereotypical Californian - tall, fit, and tanned對(duì)加州人的老套看

51、法是-長(zhǎng)得高大、健美、膚色古銅色* stereotypical cartoon scene： 老套的卡通場(chǎng)景33. to glare at: （憤怒地）盯著 辨別： stare at: (長(zhǎng)時(shí)間地)盯著 peer: （費(fèi)力地）看* He was peering through the wet windscreen at the cars ahead. 他費(fèi)力地透過車前的濕濕的的擋風(fēng)玻璃看。 * Philippa peered into the darkness.菲力普費(fèi)力地望著一片漆黑。 glance at: （快速地）看*The man glanced nervously at his wa

52、tch. 那個(gè)男人緊張地看了一下他的表。 * 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. 簡(jiǎn)言之，最能表現(xiàn)當(dāng)前危機(jī)的一幅老套的漫畫圖片， 其情景是： 一個(gè)男子坐在早餐

53、桌旁， 面前舉著一份報(bào)紙， 而一名女子則生氣地瞪著報(bào)紙的背面， 很想說話。 文章結(jié)構(gòu)本文主要講述的是美國(guó)兩性在溝通上的危機(jī)以及該危機(jī)對(duì)婚姻的危害。 第一段: 講述了一個(gè)例子， 導(dǎo)出本文話題： 在公共場(chǎng)合， 美國(guó)男子說話往往比妻子多， 但在家里， 他們說的特別少。第二、三段：講述了男性這一行為對(duì)婚姻的影響第四段：重點(diǎn)分析了女性的心理， 尤其是對(duì)家庭溝通的期待。第五段: 以一幅漫畫的內(nèi)容再次重申了本文的主題：即良性溝通上的危機(jī)。 試題分析從五個(gè)題干看， 大體了解到是關(guān)于丈夫和妻子關(guān)系的文章6. What is most wives main expectation of their husband

54、s?A. Talking to themB. Trusting them.C. Supporting their careers.D. Sharing housework.一看到“ what is”這是細(xì)節(jié)題， 沒有什么技術(shù)含量， 回文定位。 大體判斷答案在第一第二段， 但是第一段是具體的實(shí)例， 可以在第二段中找到， “although", "this pattern"都是提示詞， 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", 答案為（A）7.
