Living in Iowa and trying to become
a photographer specializing in landscape(风景)can
be quite a challenge, mainly because the corn state lacks geographical
variation.
Although landscapes in the Midwest
tend to be quite similar either farm fields or highway, sometimes I find
distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my landscape
shots, I have travelled up to four hours away to shoot within 10-minture time for
me, I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the
countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way.
Being at the right place at the
right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek
the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am
attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sun sets and rises
due to being on the sport only five minutes before the best moment.
One time my friends and I drove
three hours t0Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz(石英) rock around the lake. After we
found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to
photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake
with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb
higher because of the spare time until sunset.
However, we did not mark
the route(路线)so we ended up almost
missing the sunset entirely. Once wefound the place, it was
stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still looking
backon the photos, they are
some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would
havebeen prepared and
managed my time wisely.
24.How does the author
deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest?
A. By teaming up with other
photographers. B. By shooting
in the countryside or state parks.
C. By studying the geographical
conditions. D. By creating
settings in the com fields.
25. What is the key to
successful landscape photography according to the author?
A. Proper time management. B. Good
shooting techniques.
C. Adventurous spirit. D. Distinctive styles.
26.What can we infer
from the author’s trip with friends to Devil’s Lake?
A. They went crazy with the purple
quartz rock B. They felt stressed while waiting
for the sunset.
C. They reached the shooting spot
later than expected.
D. They had problems with their
equipment.
27. How does the author
find his photos taken at Devil's Lake?
A. Amusing. B. Satisfying. C.
Encouraging. D. Comforting.
C
What comes into your mind when you
think of British food? Probably fish and chips or a Sunday dinner of meat and
two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though
Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more
top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose
recipe books frequently top the best seller lists.
lt's thanks to these TV chefs
rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from
meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their
cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a
traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain's consumers
would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a
rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and
colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people thinking
about cooking.
According to a new study from market
analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has
encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a
wider variety of in- gradients(配料)than they used to, and
just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One
in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about
expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting
more interested in cooking. The UK’s
obsession(痴迷) with food is reflected through television
scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often
than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer
"uncool" for boys to like cooking.
28. What do people
usually think of British food?
A. It is simple and plain. B. It is
rich in nutrition.
C. It lacks authentic tastes. D. It
deserves a high reputation.
29.Which best describes
cookery programmes on British TV?
A. Authoritative.B.
Creative.C.
Profitable.D.
Influential.
30.Which is the
percentage of the people using more diverse ingredients now?
A.20%. B.24%. C.25%. D.33%.
31.What might the author
continue talking about?
A. The art of cooking in other
countries. B. Male chefs on
TV programmes.
C. Table manners in the UK. D. Studies of
big eaters.
D
If you want to tell the history of
the whole world, a history that does not privilege one part or humanity. you
cannot do it through texts alone. Because only some of the world has ever had
texts, while most of the world, for most of the time, has not. Writing is one
of humanity’s later achievements, and until fairly recently even many literate(有文字的)societies recorded their concerns
not only in writing but in tings.
Ideally a history would bring
together texts and objects, and some chapters of this book are able to do just
that, but in many cases we simply can’t. The clearest example of this between
literate and non-literate history is perhaps the first conflict at Botany Bay
between Captain Cook's voyage and the Australian Aboriginals. From the English
side, we have scientific reports and the captain’s record of that terrible day.
From the Australian side, we have only a wooden shield(盾)dropped by a man in flight after
his first experience of gunshot. If we want to reconstruct what was actually
going on that day, the shield must be questioned and interpreted as deeply and
strictly as the written reports.
In addition to the problem of
miscomprehension from both sides, there are victories accidentally or
deliberately twisted, especially when only the victors know how to write. Those
who are on the losing side often have only their things to tell their stories.
The Caribbean Taino. the Australian Aboriginals, the African people of Benin and
the Incas all of whom appear in this book, can speak to us now of their past
achievements most powerfully through the objects they made: a history told
through things gives them back a voice. When we consider contact(联系)between literate and non-literate
societies such as these, all our first-hand accounts are necessarily twisted, only
one half of a dialogue. If we are to find the other half of thatconversation, we have to
read not just the texts, but the objects.
32. What is the first
paragraph mainly about?
A. How past events should be
presented.
B. What humanity
is concerned about.
C. Whether facts speak louder than
words.
D. Why written language
is reliable.
33. What does the author
indicate by mentioning Captain Cook in paragraph 2?
A. His report was significant B. He represented
the local people.
C. He ruled over Botany Bay. D. His record was
one-sided.
34. What does the
underlined word "conversation" in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Problem. B. History. C.
Voice. D. Society.
35. Which of the
following books is the text most likely selected from?
A. How Maps Tell Stories of the
World
B. A Short History of
Australia
C. A History of the World in 100
Objects
D. How Art Works Tell
Stories

The new skill I acquired was skating. The process is
challenging but productive.
Initially, on watching the Winter Olympics Games in
Beijing, I became enthusiastic about skating. From then on, I was determined to
master this fascinating sport. However, at the very beginning, when I stepped
on the ice, I stumbled over myself.Hard as I strive, I still fell over
again and again. The moment I thought of the athletes on the field, I was
inspired by their powerful spirits. Eventually, my persistence and painstaking
efforts paid off. Ican skate freely all by myself.
From the
learning experience, I fully understand that only by diligent practicing can we
overcome many kinds of difficulties. And eventually, we can have a good command
of what we desire to learn.
