第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题3分，满分60分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
You would like
to take good photographs of real-life situations but you have few ideas for
pictures. I suggest you look around you. The everyday world is full of scenes
being played by an ever-changing group of actors. You probably passed a dozen
picture situations without noticing on your way to work this morning.
The realistic
approach to photograph has been perfected in the past by such masters as Henri
Cartier-Bresson and Bill Brandt. But while you can learn a great deal from
looking at the work of others, any success you can hope to achieve in this field
has to come from developing an individual approach.
The main
requirement for any photographer has little to do with technical matters. You
must develop an awareness of the world around you and the people who live in
it, and you should learn to notice when a situation may develop to a point
where you will be able to take a good picture. Those who have reached this
happy state will be prepared when that moment comes, and will simply raise
their camera quickly and shoot. Others who are not so aware will be struggling
with camera cases and lens caps.
Film
manufactures must be delighted at the thought of the inexperienced photographer
setting out in search of the right situation and the right moment. Many miles
of costly material have passed through thousands of cameras as this endless
search continues. But although a lot of this waste must be put down to
inexperience, you’ll find that even the professionals have to use a lot of film
when they are out shooting.
Not every shot
is going to be a winner. If you look at the work of even the best
photographers, you’ll notice dozens of pictures have had to be taken only
because they lead up to the successful shot of a situation that the
photographer has obviously been observing through the lens. You may find that
you have taken one or two pictures after the right moment has passed as well.
There is seldom more than one shot which stands out. There is just one point
where it all comes together, and you often have to waste film to catch that
precious moment.
36. According
to the passage, one can become a better real-life photographer by
____.
A. watching
other photographers at work
B. learning
about famous photographers
C. just taking a great many
photographs
D. developing
skills and ideas for yourself
37. Most
likely, to catch the right moment, one must ____.
A. take
pictures without too much preparation
B. take a
whole series of similar pictures
C. take great
care to set up the situation
D. take one
picture just at the right moment
38. Which of
the following is TRUE?
A. The waste
of film in photography is essential to the production of good
pictures.
B. Film
manufactures usually enjoy pictures by inexperienced photographers.
C. Only
amateur photographers waste film in taking pictures.
D. The waste
of film, which is the result of poor choice of subject, is expensive
and unnecessary.
39. The passage
is ____.
A. part of a book of camera instruction B. an advertisement for film
C. a history
of photography D.
an introduction to photography

C
Culture means
any human behavior that is learned by human society. All of the meaningful
parts of a culture are passed on to different generations through “tradition”
or social learning. From this viewpoint, all human groups have a culture.
Culture exists in agricultural as well as industrialized societies.
Culture is
necessary for the survival and existence of human beings as human beings.
Practically everything humans know, think, value, feel and do is learned
through taking part in a social cultural system. This statement is well
supported by some well-written cases. Here’s one of the cases of children
growing up apart from human society. In the province of Midnapore in India, the
director of a children’s home was told by the local villagers that there were
“ghosts(鬼)” in the forest. Upon looking into the case, the director
found that two children, one about eight years old and the other about six
years old, appeared to have been living with a group of wolves in the forest.
These children were the ghosts described by the local people. In his diary, the
director describes his first view of Kamala, the older, and Amana, the younger.
Kamala was
a terrible being, the head, a big ball of something covering the shoulder.
Close at its heels there came another terrible creature exactly like the first,
but smaller in size. Their eyes were bright and sharp, unlike human eyes. They
were very fond of raw milk and raw meat. Generally, as they got stronger, they
began going on all fours, and afterwards began to run on all fours, just
like squirrels.
Children
learn human languages in the same way they learn other kinds of human
behavior―by taking part in a cultural community. They learn a certain human
language as well as certain kinds of human behavior through their membership in
a certain cultural community.
44. Which of
the following is a must for people to grow up?
A. Being raised by one’s own
parents.
B. A good education.
C. Being raised by human in human
society.
D. Fresh air and water.
45. The
“ghosts” in the Midnapore forest seen by the local villagers were in fact two
____.
A. children running on fours
B. squirrels
C. young wolves with bright and
sharp eyes
D. children growing up in a
children’s home
46. The
underlined part “going on all fours” means “____”.
A. seeing with all four eyes
B. walking with four feet
C. walking with both hands and
feet
D. running in groups of four
47. What would
be the best title for this passage?
A. Wolf Children
B. Culture and Human Behavior
C. A Director’s Diary
D. Culture and Language Learning
D

This
uncertainty about the weather has had a definite effect upon the Englishman’s
character; it tends to make him careful, for example. The foreigner may laugh
when he sees the Englishman walking on a brilliantly sunny morning wearing a
raincoat or carrying an umbrella, but he may well regret his laughter later in
the day! The English weather has also helped to make the Englishman adaptable.
It has been said that one of the reasons why the English colonized so much of
the world was that, whatever the weather conditions they met abroad, they had
already experienced something like them at home!
And, of
course, the weather’s being different provides a constant topic of talk. Even
the most silent Englishman is always prepared to discuss the weather. And,
though he sometimes complains bitterly of it, he would not, even if he could,
exchange it for the more predictable climate of other lands.
48. Which of
the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Weather and Englishmen
B. Weather Forecasting in
C. Weather Problems in
D. Better Weather in
49. The first
sentence implies that weather in
A. better than that in other
countries
B. worse than that in other
countries
C. more changeable than that elsewhere
D. the same as that in other
countries
50. According
to Paragraph 3, weather in
A. predictable
B.
unpredictable
C. extremely hot or cold
D. cold for
almost 10 months of the year
51. We can
infer from Paragraph 5 that ____.
A. Englishmen hope they would have
more stable weather
B. Englishmen like their own
weather
C. the weather in
D. the weather
