When Our Words Collide
“Wanna buy a body?” That was the opening line of more thana few phone calls I got from freelance (自由职业) photographers when I was a photo editor at U. S. News. Like many in the mainstreampress, I wanted to separate the world of photographers into “them,” who tradein pictures of bodies or chase celebrities, and “us,” the serious news people.But after 16 years in that role, I came to wonder whether the two worlds wereeasily distinguishable.
Working in the reputable world of journalism, I assignedphotographers to cover other people’s nightmares. I justified invading momentsof grief, under the guise(借口) of the reader’sright to know. I didn’t ask photographers to trespass(冒犯) or to stalk(跟踪), but I didn’t haveto: I worked with pros(同行) who did what othersdid; talking their way into situations or shooting from behind police lines toget pictures I was after. And I wasn’t alone.
In the aftermath of a car crash or some other hideousincident when ordinary people are hurt or killed, you rarely see photographerspushing past rescue workers to capture the blood and gore(血腥场面). But you are likely to see the local newspaper and televisionphotographers on the scene—and fast.
How can we justify our behavior. Journalists are taught toseparate doing the job from worrying about the consequence of publishing whatthey record. Repeatedly, they are reminded of a news business dictum(格言) : leave your conscience in the office. “You get thepicture of the footage: the decision whether to print or air it comes later. Avictim may lie bleeding, unconscious, or dead: your job is to record the image.You put away your emotions and document the scene.
We act this way partly because we know that the picturescan have important meaning. Photographs can change deplorable(凄惨的) situations by mobilizing public outrage or increase publicunderstanding.
However, disastrous events often bring out the worst inphotographers and photo editors. In the first minutes and hours after adisaster occurs, photo agencies buy pictures. Often an agency buys a picturefrom a local newspaper or an amateur photographer and put it up for bid bymajor magazines. The most keenly sought “exclusives” command tens of thousandsof dollars through bidding contests.
Many people believe that journalists need to change the waythey do things, and it’s our pictures that annoy people the most. Readers maynot believe, as we do, that there is a distinction between sober minded “us”and sleazy(低级庸俗的) “them.” In too manycases, by our choices of images as well as how we get them, we prove ourreaders right.
16. The writer never got an offerfor a photograph of a dead person.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
17. The writer was a photographersixteen years ago.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
18. The writer believes thatshooting people’s nightmares is justifiable.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
19. News photographers are usuallya problem for rescue workers at an accident.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
20. Journalist’s aren’t supposedto think about whether they are doing the right thing.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
21. Editors sometimes have to paya lot of money for exclusive pictures.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
22. Many people say that they areannoyed by the U. S. News pictures.
A. Right
B. Wrong
C. Not mentioned
【参考答案及解析】
16.C 本题说“作者从未得到为死者拍照片这样的工作”,但是原文中并没有提到这一点。因此,本题的说法也就没有依据。故选C。

19.B 原文中第三段第一句中说到,you rarely see photographerspushing past rescue workers to capture the blood and gore意思是:你很少能看到摄影师挤过救援人员去捕捉血雨腥风的场面。因此,本题的说法是错误的。故选B。
20.A 原文中第四段第二句说到,Journalists are taughtto separate doing the job from worrying about the consequence of publishingwhat they record.意思是:记者们被教育要努力工作,不必关心他们所记录事实的报道结论。由此可知他们并不会想到自己所做之事是否正确。因此,本题的说法是正确的。故选A。
21.A 原文中第六段最后一句说到,The most keenly sought“exclusives” command tens of thousands of dollars through bidding contests.最敏锐地寻求独家报道,需要数百万的竞价比赛。因此,本题的说法是正确的。故选A。
22.A 原文中最后一段第一句说到,Many people believethat journalists need to change the way they do things,and it’s our picturesthat annoy people the most.许多人认为记者需要转变他们的做事方式,而且我们现在的图片让人们感到极度困扰。因此,本题的说法是正确的。故选A。

2. Even decades later, Spielberg says he has vivid memoriesof his earliest years, which are the origins of some of his most successful films.He believes that E. T. is the resultof the difficult years leading up to his parent’s 1966 divorce. He commented, “Itis really about a young boy who was in search of some stability in his life.” Close Encounters of The Third Kind wasinspired by times when the four-year-old Steven and his father would search theskies for meteors(流星). His motherremembers, “He was scared of just about everything. When trees brushed againstthe house, he would jump into my bed. And that’s just the kind of scary stuffhe would put in films like Poltergeist.”

It also made it easier for him to makefriendships. On Boy Scout camping trips, when night fell, young Steven becamethe center of attention. “Steven would start telling his ghost stories,” saysRichard Y. Hoffman. Jr., leader of Troop294,”and everyone would suddenly getquiet so that they could all hear.”
4. Spielberg moved to California’ with his father and went to highschool there, but his grades were so bad that he barely graduated. Both UCLAand USC film schools rejected him, so he entered CaliforniaState Universityat Long Beach because it was close to Hollywood. Spielberg wasdetermined to make movies, and he managed to get an unpaid, non-creditinternship(实习)in Hollywood. Soon hewas given a contract, and he dropped out of college. He never looked back.
5. Now, many years later, Spielberg is still tellingstories with as much passion as when he was a boy. Ask him where he gets hisideas, and Spielberg will shrug, “The process for me is mostly intuitive. “ hesays.” There are films that I feel that I need to make. And it’s for a varietyof reasons, for personal reasons, or because I just want to have fun. Or maybebecause the subject matter is cool, and I think my kids will like it.”

下面有3篇短文,每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容,为每题确定1个最佳选项。
第一篇The National Trust
The National Trust in Britain plays an increasinglyimportant part in the preservation for public enjoyment of the best that is leftunspoiled of the British countryside. Although the Trust has received practicaland moral support from the Government, it is not a rich government department.It is a voluntary association of people who care for the unspoiled countrysideand historic buildings of Britain.It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support frommembers of the public. Its primary duty is to protect places of great naturalbeauty and places of historical interest.
The attention of the public was first drawn to the dangersthreatening the great old houses and castles of Britain by the death of LordLothian, who left his great seventeenth-century house to the Trust togetherwith the 4500 acre park and estate surrounding it. This gift attracted wide publicityand started the Trust’s “Country House Scheme”. Under this scheme, with the helpof the Government and the general public, the Trust has been able to save andmake accessible to the public about 150 of these old houses. Last year, about 1.75million people paid to visit these historic houses, usually at a very smallcharge.
In addition to country houses and open spaces, the Trustnow owns some examples of ancient wind and water mills, nature reserves, 540farms and nearly 2500 cottages or small village houses, as well as some completevillages. In these villages no one is allowed to build, develop or disturb theold village environment in any way and all the houses are maintained in theiroriginal 16th century style. Over4000 acres of coastline, woodland, and hillcountry are protected by the Trust and no development or disturbances of anykind are permitted. The public has free access to these areas and is only askedto respect the peace, beauty and wildlife.
Over the past 80 years the Trust has become a big andimportant organization and an essential and respected part of national life. Ithelps to preserve all that is of great natural beauty and of historicalsignificance not only for future generations of Britons but also for the millionsof tourists who each year invade Britain in search of a great historic and culturalheritage.

33.D 本题是推断题。原文第二段的第一、二句说到,洛锡安勋爵把他的17世纪的房子和4500英亩的大庭园以及周边的财产都捐给了托管组织。这份礼物引起了广泛的宣扬……”由此可知,洛锡安勋爵在他那个时代是很有影响力的。因此,本题的正确答案为D。
34.A 原文只说到,Its primary duty is toprotect places of great natural beauty and places of historical interest. 注重英国原生态村落和历史建筑的保护。全文未提及该组织倾向于保护什么时期的建筑。倒数第二段第一句指出,该组织当前有540个庄园,2500个村舍或农村房屋,也有完好的乡村。由此可知,无法推断的是A选项。
35.C 本题问的是单词意思,本文最后一段最后一句提到,每年有数以百万的游客到英国来观看这壮观的历史和文化遗产。invade对应本句中的the millions of tourists。因此,本题的正确答案为C。
第二篇 A New Strategy toOvercome Breast Cancer
Post-menopausal(绝经后的)women who walk for an hour a day can cut their chance ofbreast cancer significantly, a study has suggested. The report, which followed73,000 women for 17 years, found walking for at least seven hours a week loweredthe risk of the disease. The American Cancer Society team said this was thefirst time reduced risk was specifically linked to walking. UK experts said it was moreevidence that lifestyle influenced cancer risk.
A recent poll for the charity Ramblers found a quarter ofadults walk for no more than an hour a week, but being active is known toreduce the risk of a number of cancers. This study, published in Cancer Epiderniology, Biomarkers Prevention,followed 73,615 women out of 97,785 aged 50-74 who had been recruited by theAmerican Cancer Society between 1992 and 1993, so it could monitor theincidence of cancer in the group.
They were asked to complete questionnaires on their healthand on how much time they Were active and participating in activities such aswalking, swimming and aerobics(有氧运动) and how much timethey spent sitting watching television or reading. They completed the samequestionnaires at two-year intervals between 1997 and 2009.Of the women, 47%said walking was their only recreational activity. Those who walked for at leastseven hours per week had a 14% lower risk of breast cancer compared to thosewho walked three or fewer hours per week.
Dr. Alpa Patel, a senior epidemiologist at the AmericanCancer Society in Atlanta, Georgia, who led the study, said: “Giventhat more than 60% of women report some daily walking, promoting walking as ahealthy leisure-time activity could be an effective strategy for increasingphysical activity amongst post-menopausal women. We were pleased to find thatwithout any other recreational activity, just walking one hour a day wasassociated with a lower risk of breast cancer in these women. “More strenuous(紧张的)and longer activities lowered the risk even more.”
Baroness Delyth Morgan, chief executive of Breast CancerCampaign, said: “This study adds further evidence that our lifestyle choicescan play a part in influencing the risk of breast cancer and even small changesincorporated into our normal day-to-day activity can make a difference.”
She added: “We know that the best weapon to overcoming breastcancer is the ability to stop it occurring in the first place. The challengenow is how we turn these findings into action and identify other sustainable lifestyle changes that will help us prevent breast cancer.“
36. All of the following factors relatingto cancer risk were mentioned in the passage EXCEPT ______.
A. breathing exercise
B. regular walking
C. recreational activity
D. lifestyle choices
37. It can be inferred from Dr. AlpaPatel’s study that ______.
A. women have fewer chances of physical activity
B. daily walking could cut the chance of breast cancer
C. leisure-time activity is not associated with cancer risk
D. walking is not recommended for women with breast cancer ______.
38.Dr. Alpa Patel was ______.
A. chief editor of Cancer Epidemiology
B. chair of the American Cancer Society
C. head of the survey study
D. chief executive of Breast Cancer Campaign
39. Which of the followingstatements is true according to the passage?
A. Most women take walking as their only recreationalactivity.
B. Walking was the only recreational activity for about halfof the women surveyed.
C. The study aims to track the health conditions of itssubjects.
D. Irregular walking increased the risk of breast cancer inpost-menopausal women.
40.The word “sustainable” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A. affordable
B. available
C. persistent
D. continuable
【参考答案及解析】
36.A 本文第一段第二句说到,The report, which followed 73,000women for 17 years, found walking for at least seven hours a week lowered the riskof the disease.一周至少徒步7小时会降低患癌几率,可排除B选项。最后一句说到生活方式对影响患癌几率,可排除D选项。第四段最后一句话说到休闲活动可排除C。因此,本题的正确答案为A。
37.B 本题问的是从Alpa Patel博士的研究可以得出什么结论。原文第三段最后一句说到Those who walked for at least seven hours per week had a14% lower risk of breast cancer compared to those who walked three or fewerhours per week.,一周至少徒步七小时的人与一周只步行三小时或者不足三小时的人相比,其患癌几率降低14%”。由此可知,本题正确答案为B
38.C 本题问的是Alpa Patel博士是是谁。原文第四段第一句说到,Dr. Alpa Patel, a senior epidemiologist at the AmericanCancer Society in Atlanta, Georgia, who led the study,由此可知,lpaPatel博士领导这项研究开展。因此,本题正确答案为C。

第三篇 How We FormFirst Impression
We all have first impression of someone we just met. Butwhy? Why do we form an opinion about someone without really knowing anythingabout him or her—aside perhaps from a few remarks or readily observable traits?
The answer is related to how your brain allows you to beaware of the world. Your brain is so sensitive in picking up facial traits.Even very minor difference in how a person’s eyes, ears, nose, or mouth are placedin relation to each other makes you see him or her as different. In fact, yourbrain continuously processes incoming sensory information—the sights and soundsof your world. These incoming signals are compared against a host of “memories”stored in the brain areas called the cortex(皮质) system to determine what these new signals “mean”.
If you see someone you know and like at school, your brainsays “familiar and safe”. If you see someone new, it says, “new and potentiallythreatening”. Then your brain starts to match features of this strangers withother “known” memories. The height, weight, dress, ethnicity, gestures, andtone of voice are all matched up. The more unfamiliar the characteristics, themore your brain may say, “This is new. I don’t like this person. “ Or else, “I’mintrigued(好奇的)”. Or your brain mayperceive a new face but familiar Clothes, ethnicity, gestures—like your otherfriends; so your brain says: “I like this person”. But these preliminary impressions can be dead wrong.
When westereotype people, we use a less mature form of thinking (not unlike theimmature thinking of a very young child) that makes simplistic and categoricalimpressions of others. Rather than learn about the depth and breadth of people—theirhistory, interest, values, strengths, and true character—we categorize them asjocks(骗子), peeks(反常的人),or freaks(怪人).
However, if we resist initial stereotypical impressions, wehave a chance to be aware of what a person is truly like. If we spend time witha person, hear about his or her life, hopes, dreams, and become aware of theperson’s character, we use a different, more mature style of thinking—and themost complex areas of our cortex, which allow us to be humane.
41. Our first impression ofsomeone new is influenced by his or her ______.
A. past experience
B. character
C. facial features
D. hobbies
42. If you meet a stranger withfamiliar gestures, your brain is most likely to say ______.
A. “He is familiar and safe.”
B. “He is new and potentially threatening.”
C. “I like this person.”
D. “This is new, I don’t like this person.”
43.The word “preliminary” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. simplistic
B. stereotypical
C. initial
D. categorical
44. Our thinking is not matureenough when we stereotype people because ______.
A. we neglect their depth and breadth
B. they are not all jocks, peeks, or freaks
C. our thinking is similar to that of a very young child
D. our judgment is always wrong
45. Which of the followingstatements best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A. One’s physical appearance can influence our firstimpression.
B. Our first impression is influenced by the sensitivity ofour brain.
C. Stereotypical impressions can be dead wrong.
