3、内容判断这些话是正确、错误,还是在短文中没有提到。 第一篇Taking Pictures of the World Meet Annie Griffiths Belt, a National Geographic photographer. 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 hasn't seen yet.
4、 Belt's 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 boo
5、k 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,
6、 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, greet
7、ings and small talk can make strangers feel more comfortable with each other. When people don't 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 th
8、eir 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 can't afford to hi
9、re a professional photographer. You can also take a good, honest look at your best photographs. If you're 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, th
10、e 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, don't 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
11、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. I am often overwhelmed by ...我常常被……搞得不知所措。 2. Having something in common can also help break the ice.彼此的共同点也有助于打开话题。 练习: 1. Belt has never traveled to England. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 2. Belt has never t
12、raveled to Antarctica. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 3. Belt has worked for a number of magazines. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 4. Petra is a very old city in Jordan. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 5. Belt can only connect with English-speakers. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mention
13、ed 6. People can connect with each other in bad weather. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 7. 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
14、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
15、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 Tradition Shantelle
16、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 Afric
17、an word that means being together,” Shantelle says. “That's 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. It'
18、s 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 u
19、sed 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
20、 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
21、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
22、 people can buy Kwanzaa greeting cards and special Kwanzaa clothes. Stores sell Kwanzaa candles and candleholders. Some people don't believe that Kwanzaa is a real holiday, because it's so new. But other people say that customs and celebrations are always changing and that Kwanzaa shows what is impo
23、rtant in people's lives. Shantelle Davis says she likes Kwanzaa because it's 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. It's a time when they get together with thei
24、r 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 people's 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 mentioned 2. Kwanzaa is a holiday for African-Ameri
25、cans. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 3. Kwanzaa is a very old holiday. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 4. People in Africa celebrate Kwanzaa. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 5. People spend a lot of time with their families during Kwanzaa. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 6. Chil
26、dren receive presents at the end of Kwanzaa. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 7. 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
27、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C0
28、 5. 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 Tobac

41、we just 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 pickin
42、g up facial traits,even very minor difference in how a person's 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
43、 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,it says,"new-potentially,threatening". The
44、n 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 ,the more your brain may say,This is new. I don't like this person". Or else,"I'm intrig
45、ued" . Or your brain 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 wrong4 4 When we stereotype people,we use a less mature form of thinking (not unlike the
46、 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 i
47、nitial 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 person's character,we use a different,more mature style of thinking- and the most complex areas of our cortex,w
