从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案,并在答案纸上将相应
的字母涂黑。
Passage One
Question 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Art, said Picasso, is a lie that makes us realize the truth. So is a map. We do
not usually associate the precise work
of the map maker with a fanciful object of art. Yet a map has many qualities that
a painting or a poem has. It is
truth realized in a symbolic way, holding meanings it does not express on the
surface. And like work of art, it
requires imaginative reading.
Thus, map and reality are not, and cannot be, identical. No aspect of map use
is so obvious yet so often overlooked.
Most map reading mistakes occur because the user forgets this vital fact and
expects a one-to-one correspondence
between map and reality.
A map, like a painting, is just one special version of reality. To understand
a painting, you must have some idea
of the medium which was used by the artist. You wouldn’t expect a water color
to look anything like an oil painting
or a charcoal(木碳)drawing, even if the subject matter of all three were identical.
In the same way, the techniques
used to create maps will greatly influence the final representation. As a map
reader, you should always be aware of
the invisible hand of the map maker. Never use a map without asking yourself how
it has been biased by the methods
used to make it.If the entire map making process operates at its full potential,
communication takes place between
the map maker and the user. The map maker translates reality into the clearest
possible picture under the circumstances,
and the map reader converts this picture back into an impression of the environment.
For such communication to take
place, the mapreader as the map maker must know something about how maps are
created.
21. Map is a lie _________ .
[A] that has little truth in it
[B] that few of us believe
[C] that we use to express the truth
[D] that cheats people in a tricky way
22. Map resembles art in that ________ .
[A] they are both absolute lies
[B] they are both precise as well as fanciful
[C] they must be read with imagination
[D] they both express meanings in a superficial way
23. Most map reading mistakes occur because ________ .
[A] the map is not made according to reality
[B] there are
