To make sense and beauty of it, you have to look at a small part at a time.In using a camera, you choose a small part through he view finder. You move the camera, “framing” pictures until you see one that pleases you. Then-click! If you make a good choice, your picture will please others, as well as yourself.“Wherever you are,” says photographer Ernst Haas, “you are surrounded by pictures. The trick is to recognize them.” His photograph of a twist of barbed wire shows what he means.Mr. Haas tells us of ways to practice seeing. Make a simple frame of black cardboard. Take it out of the doors and look through it at everyday things, large or small, far away or near.At first you may see nothing to interest you. But soon pictures seem to leap (跳) at you through the frame. Oil floating on water makes a picture in rainbow colors. Three people on the steps of an old house form a picture that seems to tells a story.Did you notice such things before you used the frame? Perhaps not. But, with practice, you soon do not need its help. You see things as artists do. Everywhere, shapes and colors catch your eye. Your mind takes “snapshots (快照)” of their patterns. Then, if you wish, you can share what you see by taking a photograph or by making a drawing or a painting.Sometimes its fun to “see small”. Did you ever notice the design of the seeds in sliced bananas? Have you looked deep inside a lily? Or seen the starburst in the center of a wet ice cube?Do you see colors as they really are? When you paint tree trunks, you would make them brown or black. But tree trunks are really gray, purple, yellow-greenalmost any color except brown or black!Do you notice detail? Doing so can be in many ways. Remembering what you see is often useful, too. Practice can help you.A trick for helping you to remember detail is the double take. Lookdont lookthen look again.1. What does the underlined word “trick” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. jokeB. magicC. habitD. skill2. What does the author want to tell us?A. The better you learn to see, the more alive you are.B. Walking in the country, you should look closely at the trunks.C. A branch with a few leaves fills the frame with a beautiful design.D. Close your eyes and try to remember how it looks.3. Which of the fallowing is true according to the text?A. When you paint trees, you would make them gray.B. Glance at a bill and you remember how it looked.C. Seeing is one way of living.D. Give a second look and you remember all the detail.4. What is the main idea of the text?A. The world is too big to travel around.B. Look aroundand see!C. Wherever you are, a camera is important.D. A good way to see is to carry a camera【答案】1. D 2. A 3. C 4. B【解析】这是一篇议论文。世界很大，一下子接收所有的事情是很难的，因此要学会去观察周围的生活和环境。你越是好好地观察，你越会成为一个更加有生气的人。看也是一种生活方式。【1题详解】词义猜测题。根据上下文“Wherever you are,” says photographer Ernst Haas, “you are surrounded by pictures. The trick is to recognize them.”可知摄影师Ernst Haas说无论你身处何处，你都被图片包围着，而诀窍是要会识别他们。故划线部分单词意思为“诀窍；技巧”故选D。【2题详解】判断推理题。根据第五段主要内容是通过列举一些观察生活中景色和人物的例子，来验证越是学会更好地发现生活，你越是会成为一个有活力的人。故选A。【3题详解】判断推理题。根据第五、六段的内容主要为列举观察生活中的场景的例子，可推测得出作者认为看也是一种生活方式。故选C。【4题详解】主旨大意题。文章第一段The world is too big to take in all at once. To make sense and beauty of it, you have to look at a small part at a time.指出这个世界太大了，一下子理解不了所有的事情。为了理解和美化它，你必须一次只看一小部分。结合文章主要内容都是围绕如何去观察周围的一切，强调“看”的重要性，故选B。BGenerally speaking people like those who have a good sense of humor.Sometimes a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum (最后通牒) about being late on the job. Although there was a good reason for Brians being lateserious illness at homehe decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldnt work any longer. His boss was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.Yes, the boss was, as Brian entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room (更衣室): everyone was hard at work. Brians boss came up to him. Suddenly, Brian forced a smile and stretched out his hand. “How do you do!” he said. “Im Brian. Im applying for a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Doesnt the early bird get the worm?”The room exploded in laughter. The boss clamped off a smile and walked back to his office. Brian had saved his job, with the only tool that could wina laugh.Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying “no”, criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, its the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerance (忍受力) than people in any other forum.5. Brian was late for his job because _.A. he got up lateB. he was seriously illC. he was caught in a traffic jamD. he was busy applying for a new job6. What can we infer about humor?A. It is the early bird.B. It is important in our lives.C. Brian often saved his job with humor.D. It can solve racial discriminations.7. What does the underlined phrase “clamped off” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. chargeB. tried to setC. gave upD. tried to hold back8. What can we learn from the text?A. Many people lack in a sense of humor.B. Brian was supposed to arrive at his office at 8: 30.C. It wasnt the first time that Brian came late for work.D. Humor is the most interesting way of solving problems.【答案】5. C 6. B 7. D 8. C【解析】这是一篇记叙文。记叙了上班族Brian因为遇到了交通阻塞上班迟到，而在此之前他已经收到了迟到的最后通牒，因此这次很可能被辞退。当他在9：35分时走进办公室，他的老板走向了他，突然，布莱恩强颜欢笑，伸出手来。“你好!”他说。“我是布莱恩。我正在申请一份工作，据我所知，这份工作在35分钟前才开始招聘。早起的鸟儿有虫吃吗?”于是办公室都爆发出了笑声，他通过一点幽默化解了这次危机。【5题详解】细节理解题。第二段第二句Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum (最后通牒) about being late on the job.可知Brian上班迟到是因为遇到了交通阻塞，故选C。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段第二句Brian had saved his job, with the only tool that could wina laugh.可知布莱恩保住了他工作，用的是唯一能赢的工具笑声。即可推测幽默在生活中是很重要的，故选B。【7题详解】词义猜测题。根据上文The room exploded in laughter. The boss clamped off a smile and walked back to his office.可知房间里哄堂大笑，因此老板也是只能强忍住笑，走回他的办公室。故可知划线部分单词意思为“努力忍住；抑制住”故选D。【8题详解】主旨大意题。根据第二段第二句Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who hit a traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum (最后通牒) about being late on the job.可知Brian在上班路上遇到了交通堵塞，就在他收到上班迟到的最后通牒后不久。可知这不是Brian第一次上班迟到了，故选C。CBritain and France are two important countries in Europe. They are neighbors, separated only by the 20-mile seaway of the English Channel. And for most of the time that the two countries have existed, the French and the British have been rivals or even enemies. One conflict between the two countries lasted over 100 years, and the British and French were at war through the 18th century.There is no fighting now, of course. But there is still a strong sense of rivalry (敌对) between the two nations. Thats why a recent survey in the UK caused a major shock.It revealed (揭露) that one third of the British people would like to live in France. It also showed that twenty-one percent of British people would actually prefer to have been born in France.Many reasons were given. France has a better climate and a more relaxed lifestyle, with some of the longest holidays in Europe. It is thought to have better public services in every area from health to transport. People in France work shorter hours and enjoy longer vacations. And think of the food and wine!Estimates (估计) of the numbers of Britons living in France range from 100,000 to half a million. But it is not one-way traffic. Around 15,000 French people per year come to live in Britain, mainly settling in London. They are attracted by higher pay in Britain, lower taxes, a more dynamic lifestyle. Now it seems that people can go to the place that suits them best.9.
