2014年考研英语(一)真题及参考答案(20)

从余下选项进行选择。B选项中有another，所以不会是第一段。E选项中代词their没有指代对象。F中有however，也不会是第一段。因此，只留下C和D选项。在C选项最后一句提到survey和test sample也很重要。而在D选项开头就提到了survey，而且整段都是，由此可看出D是对C的分述。所以C是首段。

42． 此题排在A项之后，所以内容上应该是衔接的。A项主要谈论的是大部分考古地点是通过仔细搜寻之后找到的，而其他的很多是被偶然发现的，接着举了一些例子。接下来在看各段首句的时候，发现F项中提到大部分考古地点是被考古学家们特意寻找发现的，和A提到的偶然发现意思相反，所以F正确。

43． 此题排在E项之后。E选项最后一句提到天空的搜寻，而在G选项的开头提到地面搜寻，正好形成对应，所以为正确答案。

44． 此时，只留下B和D选项。其中B选项开头提到了in another case，所以前面一段一定要提到in one case， 而D选项中有in one case．所以，D选项在前。

45． 根据上面的分析，此题只能选B。

Beethoven’s importance in music has been principally defined by the revolutionary nature of his compositions． He freed music from hitherto prevailing conventions of harmony and structure． Sometimes I feel in his late works a will to break all signs of continuity． The music is abrupt and seemingly disconnected， as in the last piano sonata． In musical expression， he did not feel restrained by the weight of convention． 47） By all accounts he was a freethinking person， and a courageous one， and I find courage an essential quality for the understanding， let alone the performance， of his works．
