Belt has worked for National Geographic since 1978，and has taken pictures on almost every continent in the world. In fact, Antarctica is the only continent Belt hasnt seen yet.Belts photographs are well known for their beauty and high quality. They also reflect very different cultures and regions of the world. Belt has photographed the ancient city of Petra, Jordan, as well as the green landscapes of the Lake District in England. Recently，her pictures appeared in a book about undeveloped natural places in North America.Everywhere that Belt goes, she takes pictures of people. Belt has found ways to connect with people of all ages and nationalities even when she does not speak their language. “ The greatest privilege of my job is being allowed into peopled lives,” she has said. “The camera is like a passport, and I am often overwhelmed by1 how quickly people welcome me!”Knowing how to break the ice has helped to make Belt a successful photographer, but experts say that anyone can learn to connect with new people. When people speak the same language, greetings and small talk can make strangers feel more comfortable with each other. When people dont speak the same language, a smile is very helpful. Having something in common can also help break the ice. For example, Belt has traveled with her two children, so when she takes pictures of children or their parents，they all have that family connection in common. Even bad weather can help people to connect when they are experiencing it together.Belt has some advice if you are thinking about a career in photography. You can volunteer to take pictures for a local organization that cant afford to hire a professional photographer. You can also take a good, honest look at your best photographs. If youre a real photographer, your photos are good because of your personal and technical skills. Belt also recommends studying and learning from photos taken by professional photographers.Remember, the next time you look at a beautiful photograph, you might be looking at the work of Annie Griffiths Belt. And the next time you meet a new person, dont be afraid to break the ice. The connection you make could be very rewarding.词汇：landscape n.风景，风景画rewarding adj.值得的，有益的，有报酬的privilege n.特权，优惠nationality n 国籍，民族think about 考虑overwhelm vt. 征服;使受不了，使不知所措注释：1.

Belt has never traveled to Antarctica.A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned3. Belt has worked for a number of magazines.A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned4. Petra is a very old city in Jordan.A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned5. Belt can only connect with English-speakers.A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned6. People can connect with each other in bad weather.A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned7. Volunteering is one way to begin a photography career.A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned答案与题解：1. B在第二段第三行，作者提到贝尔特曾经为英格兰湖区的美景拍过照片，那她自然就去过英格兰。因此，这一题题干的表述（贝尔特从没去过英格兰）明显是错误的。2. A第一段第三行说到南极洲是贝尔特唯一没亲眼见过的大洲，那么她必然没去过南极洲。 因此这一题题干的表述（贝尔特从没去过南极洲）是正确的。3. C第一段第一行提到贝尔特从1978年就开始为国家地理杂志工作，可是并无其它信息，因此我们无从得知在1978年之前，贝尔特是否还为其它杂志工作过。因此我们既没法说贝尔特只为国家地理一家杂志工作过，也没法说贝尔特在很多家杂志工作过。因而,我们无法在文中找到这一题题干所表述的信息（贝尔特在很多家杂志工作过），答案只能是C。4. A在第二段第二行，作者提到贝尔特曾经在约旦的古城佩特拉进行过拍摄，这迎合题干的表述(佩特拉是一座古老的约旦城市）。因此答案为A。5. B在第三段第一行第二句话，作者提到：在语言不通的情况下，贝尔特找到了和不同年龄、不同民族的人沟通的方法。而题干中的表述(贝亦特只能和会说英语的人沟通)和文中的信息完全不符，因此答案为B。6. A在第四段第七行，作者提到：一起体验坏天气能够帮助人们增进相互间的交流。这和题干的表述(人们在坏天气下能够相互沟通)基本一致，因此答案为A。7. A第五段第一行提到贝尔特为希望从事摄影行业的人提供了一些建议：当个志愿者为没钱请专业摄影师的地方机构拍摄照片。这和题干的表述（做一名志愿者是开始摄影生涯的一种方式)基本吻合，因此答案为A。第十二篇 Starting a New TraditionShantelle Davis is a nine-year-old girl in New York. On a cold night in December, her family is standing around the kitchen table while she lights a candle. The table is decorated with baskets of fruits and vegetables and ears of com for Shantelle and her two brothers.“This candle represents umoja, an African word that means being together,” Shantelle says. “Thats the most important thing for a family. ”Tonight is the first night of Kwanzaa, and Shantelle is spending the holiday with her family. More than 5 million African Americans celebrate Kwanzaa every year from December 26 until January I. Its a time when they get together with their families to think about their history and their ancestors in Africa.Kwanzaa is very unusual because it was started by one man. In 1966, an American named Maulana Karenga wanted a holiday for African-Americans to honor their culture and traditions. So he used words and customs from Africa to create a new celebration. He took the name Kwanzaa from the words for “first fruits” in Swahili, an African language. At first, a few American families had small celebrations at home. Now there are also Kwanzaa events in schools and public places， and Kwanzaa has spread to other countries like Canada and Jamaica.The main symbol of Kwanzaa is a candleholder with seven candles, one for each of the principles of Kwanzaa. Each night, a family member lights one of the candles and talks about the idea it represents： being together, being yourself, helping each other, sharing, having a goal， creating, and believing. The candles are red, black, and green, the colors of Kwanzaa. The parents also pour drinks to honor family members who have died. On the last night of Kwanzaa, there is a big dinner with African food, and children receive small presents.Today people can buy Kwanzaa greeting cards and special Kwanzaa clothes. Stores sell Kwanzaa candles and candleholders. Some people dont believe that Kwanzaa is a real holiday， because its so new. But other people say that customs and celebrations are always changing and that Kwanzaa shows what is important in peoples lives.Shantelle Davis says she likes Kwanzaa because its fun. “But I also learn new things every year, she says.词汇：ancestor n.祖宗，祖先be decorated with 由所装饰honor vt. 尊敬,使荣幸; n.荣誉,尊敬ears of com玉米穗candleholder n.烛台注释：1. Its a time when they get together with their families to think about their history and their ancestors in Africa.这段时间里她们和家人待在一起缅怀她们的历史和非洲的祖先。2. . shows what is important in peoples lives. 展现了人们生活中重要的东西。练习：1. Kwanzaa is celebrated at the end of the year.A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned2. Kwanzaa is a holiday for African-Americans.A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned3. Kwanzaa is a very old holiday.A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned4. People in Africa celebrate Kwanzaa.A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned5. People spend a lot of time with their families during Kwanzaa.A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned6. Children receive presents at the end of Kwanzaa.A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned7. Everyone thinks Kwanzaa is an important holiday.A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned答案与题解：1. A在第三段第二行我们能够发现：超过500万的非洲裔美国人每年从12月26日到1月1日庆祝宽扎节。因此题干的表述(人们在年底庆祝宽扎节)是正确的,答案为A。2. A从第四段前四行所述的内容中我们能够发现：为了向自己的文化和传统致敬,1966年美国人马拉那卡林加为非洲裔美国人创立了宽扎节。因此，题干的表述(宽扎节是为非洲裔 美国人创立的节日）是正确的，答案为A。3. B在第二题中我们知道宽扎节创立于1966年，而且文中第六段第三行也提到：一些人认为宽扎节的历史并不久远。因此，从以上两点我们能够得出结论：题干的表述（宽扎节的历史非常悠久)是错误的,答案为B。4. C从整篇文章中我们知道宽扎节最初是为非洲裔美国人创立的，之后宽扎节的传统又流传到诸如加拿大、牙买加等其它国家(这一信息能够从第四段最后一行得到）。可是文中并未提及非洲人民是否也庆祝宽扎节，因此这一题的题干信息（非洲人民庆祝宽扎节）并没在文中给出答案为C05. A在段最后两行中，作者提到：这段时间里非洲裔美国人和家人待在一起緬怀历史和非洲的祖先。因此题干中的表述 (宽扎节期间人民花很多时间和家人待在一起）是正确的， 答案为A。6. A在第五段最后两行中，作者提到：在宽扎节的最后一夜会有一顿非洲风味的大餐,而且孩子们会收到小礼物。因此，题干的表述(孩子们在宽扎节即将结束时收到礼物)是正确的，答案为A。7. B在第六段第二行末尾，作者提到：由于宽扎节的历史并不久远，一些人认为它并不是一个真正的节日。从这里我们能够看出题干的表述(每个人都认为宽扎节是一个重要的节日）不正确，故答案为B。第五篇 US Signs Global Tobacco Treaty1 The United States has taken the first step toward approving a global tobacco treaty that promises to help control the deadly effects of tobacco use throughout the world1 Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson signed the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) this week at the United Nations. The Senate must still approve the treaty before the US can implement its provisions.2 The FCTC was developed by the World Health Organization and approved by members of the World Health Assembly，including the United States，last year. Countries that ratify it would be required to enact strict tobacco control policies.3 For instance, cigarettes sold in those countries would have to have health warnings on at least 30% of the front and back of every pack3. The treaty calls for higher tobacco taxes, restrictions on smoking in public places, and more promotion of tobacco prevention and cessation programs. It also requires bans on tobacco advertising, though there are some exceptions for countries like the United States, where the Constitution prohibits such an outright ban.4 The impact of the treaty could be huge. The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco use kills nearly 5 million people worldwide every year. In the US alone, about 440,000 people die each year from tobacco-related illnesses ； about one-third of all cancers in the US are caused by tobacco use. If current trends continue, WHO estimates, by 2025 tobacco will kill 10 million people each year.5 The treaty must be ratified by at least 40 countries before it can take effect. So far，109 countries have signed it, and 12 have ratified it. 词汇：ratify vt 批准;认可enact vt.使(法案等）成为法律；经过 (法案等）；颁布(法令等）cessation n.停止，休止advertising n.做广告,登广告prohibit v.禁止;不准outright adj.完全的,彻底的注释：1. The United States has taken the first step toward approving a global tobacco treaty that promises to help control the deadly effects of tobacco use throughout the world.美国朝着批准一项全球性烟草协议迈出了第一步。该协议有望在世界范围内控制使用烟草所产生的致命性影响。2. Countries that ratify it would be required to enact strict tobacco control policies.批准该协议的国家将被要求制定严格的烟草控制政策。3. For instance, cigarettes sold in those countries would have to have health warnings on at least 30% of the front and back of every pack.例如，在那些国家出售的香烟将必须在每包烟正反面至少30%的地方注明吸烟有害健康的警告。练习：1. Paragraph 2_2.

Much more countries have signed the FCTC than those that_.A have ratified itB approving itC implement its provisionsD restrict smoking in public placesE caused by tobacco useF including higher tobacco taxes答案与题解：1. B文章第一段主要讲美国朝着批准一项全球性烟草协议迈出了第一步，这一步指的就是美国本周在联合国签署了烟草控制框架性协议(FCTC)事。2. D文章第二段简要介绍了烟草控制框架性协议的形成过程。3. A文章第三段列举了烟草控制框架性协议的一些具体要求。4. E文章第四段经过列举吸烟所造成的危害旨在说明实施烟草控制框架性协议将产生的影响。5. B经过文章的第一句可知，签署烟草控制框架性协议只是批准该协议的第一步。6. D文章第二段说，经过烟草控制框架性协议的国家必须实施严格的烟草控制措施,而文章的第三段便列举了具体应实施的措施，其中便包括限制在公共场所吸烟。7. E文章第四段的第一句说，实施烟草控制框架性协议将产生巨大的影响。接下来便列举了吸烟所造成的巨大危害。可见人们希望该协议的实施将大大减少吸烟所造成的危害，特别是大量的死亡。8. A从文章的第五段可知，签署烟草控制框架性协议的国家的数量大大超过经过该协议的国家的数量。第八篇How We Form First lmpression1We all have first impression Of someone wejust met. But why?Why do we form an opinion about Someone without really knowing anything about him or her -aside perhaps from a few remarks or readily observable traits.2 The answer is related to how your brain allows you to be aware of the world. Your brain is so sensitive in picking up facial traits，even very minor difference in how a persons eyes，ears，nose，or mouth are placed in relation to each other makes you see him or her as differene1.In fact，your brain continuously process incoming sensory information- the sights and sounds of your world.These incoming signals are compared against2 a host of memories stored in the brain areas called the cortex system to determine what these new signals mean .3 If you see someone you know and like at school3，your brain says familiar and safe. If you see someone new，itsays，new-potentially，threatening. Then your brain starts to match features of this stranger with other known memories. The height ，weight，dress ，ethnicity ， gestures ，and tone of voice are all matched up. The more unfamiliar the characteristics ，themore your brain may say，This is new. I dont like this person. Or else，Im intrigued . Or yourbrain may perceive a new face but familiar clothes，ethnicity，gestures-like your other friends;so your brain says: I like this person . But these preliminary impressions can be dead wrong44 When we stereotype people，we use a less mature form of thinking (not unlike the immature thinking of a very young child) that makes simplistic and categorical impressions of others. Rather than learn about the depth and breadth of people-their history，interest，values，strengths，and true character - we categorize them as jocks，geeks，or freaks.5 However，if we resist initial stereotypical impressions，we have a chance to be aware of what a person is truly like. If we spend time with a person，hear about his or her life，hopes，dreams，and become aware of the persons character，we use a different，more mature style of thinking- and the most complex areas of our cortex，which allow us to be humane.词汇:trait /trei，treit/n.特点，特征，特性 host/h?ust/ n.一大群，许多simplistic /simplistik/ adj.过分单纯化的 sensory/sens?ri/ adj. 感官的，感觉的categorical/k?tig?rikl/adj.绝正确 cortex/k?:teks/ n.脑皮层jock/d?k/ n.骗子 ethnicity/enis?ti/ n.种族特点geek /gi:k / n.反常的人 intrigue/intri:g/ v.激起兴趣stereotype /steri?taip/ v. 对产生成见 freak/fri:k/ n. 怪人humane /hju:mein，hju-/ adj. 有人情味的，人文的注释:1. Your ?rain，is so sensitive in picking up facial traits，even very minor difference in how a persons eyes ，ears ，nose ，or mouth are placed in relation to each other makes you see him or her as different. 从 even 开始到 as different 是个结果状语从句，相当于that even very minor . ，而 that 是与主句中的 so 呼应的。2.against:和对比3.If you see someone you know，and like school . :如果你在学校里看到某个你认
