Question

【題目】閱讀理解
Wherever travelers go, cameras are sure to follow. It's great fun to take photos, and even more fun to show slides of the trip to friends and relatives when they come back home.
There's Aunt Sarah, smiling in front of Buckingham Palace; Aunt Sarah, smiling under the Eiffel Tower; and Aunt Sarah, smiling in a Venetian Canal. Everyone knows what Aunt Sarah looks like; they also know what Europe's great landmarks (顯著地面景觀) look like.
But a young man named David, just back from a trip to Greece, asked a few friends over to see his slides. The young man had an artist's eye. His pictures were not of familiar Greek architectures. Instead he took pictures of farmers at work in the field, fishermen repairing their nets, and bearded priests (牧師) bending over their Bibles. He captured (抓住) the colour and character of the country. His friends were so interested that they asked for more.
Any amateur (外行) can do the same. All he needs is a simple camera and a little sensitivity. When he learns that a nation lives in its people as well as in its landmarks, he moves from an amateur to an artist.
（1）What does the underlined word “slide” mean?
A.故事
B.幻燈片
C.風(fēng)景
D.路線
（2）People who watch Aunt Sarah’s slides would be _______.
A. frightened

（3）David’s pictures were about _______.
A.landmarks

（4）David is _______.

C.strange
D.original (有創(chuàng)意的)

Answer 1

【答案】
（1）B
（2）C
（3）C
（4）D
【解析】本文講述的是拍照的話題，從拍照的內(nèi)容和技巧可以看出外行與藝術(shù)家的差別。
（1）詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)句意：當(dāng)他們回到家向親戚朋友展示旅途的幻燈片甚至更有趣。show sth to sb向某人展示某物。故選B。
（2）推理判斷。frightened恐懼的；excited興奮的；bored厭煩的；sad傷心的。根據(jù)第二段Everyone knows what Aunt Sarah looks like; they also know what Europe’s great landmarks (顯著地面景觀) look like.故選C。
（3）推理判斷。landmark地標(biāo)；architecture建筑；people人；history歷史。根據(jù) 第三段His pictures were not of familiar Greek architectures. Instead he took pictures of farmers at work in the field, fishermen repairing their nets, and bearded priests (牧師) bending over their Bibles. 可知他拍的都是人。故選C。
（4）推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段可知，任何外行做的都一樣，他需要的只是一個(gè)照相機(jī)和一點(diǎn)敏感性。當(dāng)他知道一個(gè)國(guó)家生活不但生活在它的地標(biāo)中而且還生活在它的人民中的時(shí)候，他就從一個(gè)外行變成了一個(gè)藝術(shù)家。因此可知David是一個(gè)藝術(shù)家，故選Ｄ。
