[单选题]阅读判断：下面的短文后列出了7个句子，请根据短文的内容对每个句子作出判断：如果该句提供的是正确信息，请选择A;如果该句提供的是错误信息，请选择B;如果该句的信息文中没有提及，请选择C。When Our Words Collide“Wanna buy a body?” That was the opening line of more than a 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 mainstream press, I wanted to separate the world of photographers into “them”, who trade in picture 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 were easily distinguishable.Working in the reputable world of journalism, I assigned photographers to cover other people’s nightmares. I justified invading moments of grief, under the guise(借口) of the reader's right to know. I didn’t ask photographers to trespass(冒犯) or to stalk(跟踪),but I didn’t have to: I worked with pros(同行) who did what others did: talking their way into situations or shooting from behind police lines to get pictures I was after. And I wasn’t alone.In the aftermath of a car crash or some other hideous incident when ordinary people are hurt or killed, you rarely see photographers pushing past rescue workers to capture the blood and gore(血雨腥风). But you are likely to see the local newspaper and television photographers on the scene - and fast.How can we justify our behavior? Journalists are taught to separate doing the job from worrying about the consequence of publishing what they record. Repeatedly, they are reminded of a news-business dictum(格言): leave your conscience in the office. You get the picture of the footage: the decision whether to print or air it comes later. A victim 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 pictures can have important meaning. Photographs can change deplorable(凄惨的) situations by mobilizing public outrage or increase public understanding.However, disastrous events often bring out the worst in photographers and photo editors. In the first minutes and hours after a disaster occurs, photo agencies buy pictures. Often an agency buys a picture from a local newspaper or an amateur photographer and put it up for bid by major magazines. The most keenly sought “exclusives” command tens of thousands of dollars through bidding contests.Many people believe that journalists need to change the way they do things, and it’s our pictures that annoy people the most. Readers may not believe, as we do, that there is a distinction between sober-minded “us” and sleazy(低级庸俗的) “them”. In too many cases, by our choices of images as well as how we get them, we prove our readers right.

正确答案 ：

解析：译文：作者认为拍摄人们噩梦般的经历是合理的。按照行文的顺序，文中对应的信息应该在第三段，通过题干中的关键词nightmares和justifiable，可以再该段的第二行找到，I assigned photographers to cover other people’s nightmares. I justified invading moments of grief, under the guise（借口） of the reader’s right to know.这句话表面的意思：我委派摄影师们去拍摄别人的噩梦，我为入侵别人伤心欲绝的时刻这一行为的合理性找到的借口是读者的知情权。（作文暗含的意思是摄影记者总是以读者知情权为幌子拍摄那些具有新闻价值的图片，而不顾忌当事人的感受）题干中的动词shooting在文中对应的动词是cover都是拍摄的意思，（同义替换的情况）justified是作者为自己行为开脱的合法性理由，因此从作者传达的本意来看，他并不认为这样一种行为是合理的。因此选项是错误。（wrong）考点细节信息查找

[单选题]概括大意与完成句子：The Storyteller1.Steven Spielberg has always had one goal: to tell as many great stories to as many people as will listen．And that’s what he has always been about．The son of a computer scientist and a pianist, Spielberg spent his early childhood in New Jersey and, later, Arizona．From the very beginning, his fertile imagination filled his young mind with images that would later inspire his filmmaking．　　2.Even decades later, Spielberg says he has clear memories of his earliest years, which are the origins of some of his biggest hits．He believes that E．T．is the result of the difficult years leading up to his parent’s 1966 divorce, “It is really about a young boy who was in search of some stability in his life．”“He was scared of just about everything,” recalls his mother, Leah Adler．“When trees brushed against the house, he would head into my bed．And that’s just the kind of scary stuff he would put in films like Poltergeist．”3.Spielberg was 11 when he first got his hands on his dad’s movie camera and began shooting short flicks about flying saucers and World War ΙΙ battles．Spielberg’s talent for scary storytelling enabled him to make friends．On Boy Scout camping trips, when night fell, Spielberg became the center of attention．“Steven would start telling his ghost stories,” says Richard Y．Hoffman Jr．, leader of Troop 294, “and everyone would suddenly get quiet so that they could all hear it．”4.Spielberg moved to California with his father and went to high school there, but his grades were so bad that he barely graduated．Both UCLA and USC film schools rejected him, so he entered California State University at Long Beach because it was close to Hollywood．Spielberg was determined to make movies, and he managed to get an unpaid, non-credit internship（实习）in Hollywood．Soon he was given a contract, and he dropped out of college．He never looked back．5.Now, many years later, Spielberg is still telling stories with as much passion as the kid in the tent．Ask him where he gets his ideas, Spielberg shrugs．“The process for me is mostly intuitive (凭直觉的),” he says．“There are films that I feel I need to make, for a variety of reasons, for personal reasons, for reasons that I want to have fun, that the subject matter is cool, that I think my kids will like it．And sometimes I just think that it will make a lot of money, like the sequel(续集) to Jurassic Park．”

正确答案 ：

解析：译文：当斯皮尔伯格还是个孩子时，他曾经对_______感到害怕。通过关键词 boy, be scared of可以找到文中相关的位置，“It is really about a young boy who was in search of some stability in his life．”“He was scared of just about everything,” “真得是一个少年寻找生活的安全感，他几乎害怕任何事。” 因此只有B选项almost everything是最符合原文意思的。考点细节信息查找

[单选题]阅读理解：请根据短文内容，为每题确定l个最佳选项。The National Trust。The National Trust in Britain plays an increasingly important part in the preservation for public enjoyment of the best that is left unspoiled of the British countryside. Although the Trust has received practical and moral support from the Government, it is not a rich government department. It is a voluntary association of people who care for the unspoiled countryside and historic buildings of Britain. It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of the public. Its primary duty is to protect places of great natural beauty and places of historical interest.The attention of the public was the first drawn to the dangers threatening the great old houses and the castles of Britain by the death of the Lord Lothian, who left his great seventeenth-century house to the Trust together with the 4500-acre park and estate surrounding it. This gift attracted wide publicity and started the Trust’s “Country House Scheme” Under this scheme, with the help of the Government and the general public, the Trust has been able to save and make accessible to the public about 150 of these oil houses. Lats year, about 1.75 million people paid to visit these historic houses, usually at a very small charge.In addition to country houses and open spaces, the Trust now owns some examples of ancient wind and water mills, nature reserves, 540 farms and nearly 2500 cottages or small village houses, as well as some complete villages. In these villages no one is allowed to build, develop or disturb the old village environment in any way and all the houses are maintained in their original 16th century style. Over 4,000 acres of coastline , woodland, and hill country are protected by the Trust and no development or disturbances of any kind are permitted. The public has free access to these areas and is only asked to respect the peace, beauty and wildlife.Over the past 80 years the Trust has become a big and important organization and an essential and respected part of national life. It helps to preserve all that and of historical significance not only for future generations of Britons but also for the millions of tourists who each year invade Britain in search of a great historic and cultural heritage.

正确答案 ：

解析：译文：国家信托投身于________.按照行文顺序向下，可以找到原文It is a voluntary association of people who care for the unspoiled countryside and historic buildings of Britain. 国家信托是热心保护未被污染的乡村和历史建筑的志愿者组织。原文中这句话的本质意思是，国家信托投身于保护乡村和历史建筑的事业。因此只有D选项Protecting the unspoiled countryside and historic buildings.是最为符合原文的意思的。

[单选题]阅读理解：请根据短文内容，为每题确定l个最佳选项。A New Strategy to Overcome Breast Cancer。Post-menopausal（绝经后）women who walk for an hour a day can cut their chance of breast cancer significantly,a study has suggested. The report, which followed 73,000 women for 17 years,found walking for at least seven hours a week lowered the risk of the disease.The American Cancer Society team said this was the first time reduced risk was specifically linked to walking. UK experts said it was more evidence that lifestyle influenced cancer risk.A recent poll for the charity Ramblers a quarter of adults walk for no more than an hour a week,but being active is known to reduce the risk of a number of cancers.This study, published in Cancer Epidemiology,Biomarkers&Prevention,followed 73.615 women out of 97,785 aged 50-74 who had been recruited by the American Cancer Society between 1992 and 1993,so it could monitor the incidence of cancer in the group.They were asked to complete questionnaires on their health and on how much time they were active and participating in activities such as walking,swimming and aerobics（有氧运动）and how much time they spent sitting watching television or reading.They completed the same questionnaires at two-year intervals between 1997 and 2009. Of the women,47% said walking was their only recreational activity.Those who walked for at least seven hours per week had a 14% lower risk of breast cancer compared to those who walked three or fewer hours per week.Dr. Alpa Patel, a senior epidemiologist at the American Cancer Society in Atlanta, Georgia, who led the study, said:”Given that more than 60% of women report some daily walking, promoting walking as a healthy leisure-time activity could be an effective strategy for increasing physical activity amongst post-menopausal women.We were pleased to find that without any other recreational activity, just walking one hour a day was associated 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 Cancer Campaign,said:”This study adds further evidence that our lifestyle choices can play a part in influencing the risk of breast cancer and even small changes incorporate into our normal day-to-day activity can make a difference.”She added:”We know that the best weapon to overcoming breast cancer is the ability to stop it occurring in the first place. The challenge now is how we turn these findings into action and identify other sustainable lifestyle changes that will help us prevent breast cancer.”

正确答案 ：

解析：译文：文中最后一段的“sustainable”和下列哪个词意思最为相近？通过查询字典和联系上下文“The challenge now is how we turn these findings into action and identify other sustainable lifestyle changes that will help us prevent breast cancer.””文中的意思找到一个可持续的生活方式的改变来帮助我们抗击乳腺癌，因此只有D选项最为合适。考点推理判断
