Question

【題目】Looking at life differently

When I was 14, life was boring.

However, I didn’t mind having the same views (風(fēng)景) every day. And even though my school had over a thousand students, I didn’t really care to notice the differences between us all.

But this boring view of mine _______ when my parents bought me a camera for Christmas. After a month of playing with my new camera, I realized I had no _______ for taking pictures. Even though I got friends to pose (擺姿勢(shì)) in front of ancient buildings and in flowery fields, nothing seemed to _______. My photos were clearly missing something of importance and had no creativity. After a while, I dropped my new hobby.

Then, a month or two later, I suddenly decided to pick it up again. During the summer break, I went for a walk on the railroad tracks (鐵軌) behind my house.

The tracks are a warm red color. Before the walk, I thought, “Maybe I should bring my camera.”

Surprisingly, this _______was what began my love for photography. When I was walking on the tracks without a model and only nature around me, I realized how important it was to look at the details (細(xì)節(jié)) of things. I didn’t worry about trying to _______ something beautiful. Instead, I just took photos of the beauty already around me.

I quickly ________ about color, lighting, shape and everything in between. After months of studying outdoor sights and looking at people’s eyes, I was _______ able to create beauty of my own. Slowly, my photos became something I was proud of.

So far, my works have appeared in two magazines and been shown in two different museums. They’re not huge achievements, but they’re important to me. And they’re the ______ of how much my artistic abilities have grown.

Thanks to this Christmas gift from my parents, I now have a new way of looking at the world.

【解析】

文章大意：本文是一篇記敘文，父母給作者買(mǎi)了一個(gè)相機(jī)作為圣誕禮物，開(kāi)始的時(shí)候作者拍攝的照片很失敗，作者認(rèn)為自己沒(méi)有藝術(shù)天賦，于是放棄了攝影。后來(lái)作者無(wú)意中對(duì)生活有了新的領(lǐng)悟：美好事物就在自己身邊。隨之而來(lái)作者的藝術(shù)理解力也有了提高，最終作品被雜志出版了。

【1】句意：但當(dāng)我父母給我買(mǎi)了一臺(tái)相機(jī)作為圣誕禮物時(shí)，我的這種無(wú)聊的看法改變了。本題考查動(dòng)詞。文章第一段提到“生活很無(wú)聊，第二段中提到即使我們學(xué)校有1000多名學(xué)生，我也并沒(méi)有注意到我們之間有什么不同”，而在第三段的轉(zhuǎn)折詞“but”說(shuō)明作者無(wú)聊的生活發(fā)生了改變。選項(xiàng)A譯為“出現(xiàn)”；選項(xiàng)B譯為“改變”；選項(xiàng)C譯為“發(fā)展，培養(yǎng)”；選項(xiàng)D譯為“仍然，繼續(xù)”。故正確答案為選項(xiàng)B。

【2】句意：玩了一個(gè)月的新相機(jī)后，我意識(shí)到我沒(méi)有拍照的天賦。本題考查名詞。前文提到“在擺弄了相機(jī)一個(gè)月之后”和后文的“My photos were clearly missing something of importance and had no creativity.”可知作者意識(shí)到自己在攝影方面沒(méi)有天賦和才華。選項(xiàng)A譯為“天賦，才華”；選項(xiàng)B譯為“愿望”；選項(xiàng)C譯為“時(shí)間”；選項(xiàng)D譯為“計(jì)劃”。根據(jù)文章語(yǔ)境判斷，故正確答案為選項(xiàng)A。

【3】句意：盡管我讓朋友在古建筑前面和鮮花盛開(kāi)的田野里擺姿勢(shì)，但似乎都無(wú)濟(jì)于事、不起作用。本題考查動(dòng)詞。前文中提到盡管我讓朋友在古建筑前面和絢麗的田野里擺姿勢(shì), 說(shuō)明和后面的nothing seemed to前后邏輯表示轉(zhuǎn)折，譯為“似乎都無(wú)濟(jì)于事，不起作用”。選項(xiàng)A譯為“失去”；選項(xiàng)B譯為“傷害”；選項(xiàng)C譯為“成長(zhǎng)，生長(zhǎng)”；選項(xiàng)D 譯為“起作用，工作”。根據(jù)文章語(yǔ)境判斷，故正確答案為選項(xiàng)D。

【4】句意：令人驚訝的是，這次散步開(kāi)始了我對(duì)攝影的熱愛(ài)。本題考查名詞。根據(jù)上文中“before the walk”和下文中的“when I was walking”，本題是名詞復(fù)現(xiàn)。選項(xiàng)A譯為“顏色”；選項(xiàng)B譯為“房子”；選項(xiàng)C譯為“散步”；選項(xiàng)D譯為“相機(jī)”。根據(jù)文章語(yǔ)境判斷，故正確答案為選項(xiàng)C。

【5】句意：我不需要擔(dān)心去創(chuàng)造一些美麗的東西。本題考查動(dòng)詞。前文提到，當(dāng)作者在鐵軌上行走而且沒(méi)有模特的時(shí)候，他的周?chē)�只有大自然。后文提到，我只需要拍攝我周?chē)�已有的美景就可以了。因�(yàn)榍拔暮秃笪亩继岬搅?/span>“大自然”和“已有的美景”，所以是不需要再去“創(chuàng)造”美景。選項(xiàng)A譯為“復(fù)制，抄襲”；選項(xiàng)B譯為“做記號(hào)，打分?jǐn)?shù)”；選項(xiàng)C譯為“創(chuàng)造”；選項(xiàng)D譯為“保護(hù)”。根據(jù)文章語(yǔ)境判斷，故正確答案為選項(xiàng)C。

【6】句意：我很快就迷上了顏色、燈光、形狀以及這兩者之間的一切。本題考查形容詞。上文提到“令人驚訝的是，這次散步開(kāi)始了我對(duì)攝影的熱愛(ài)。”所以應(yīng)該是對(duì)攝影相關(guān)的事情非常喜愛(ài)，非常癡迷。選項(xiàng)A譯為“瘋狂的，著迷的”；選項(xiàng)B譯為“緊張的”；選項(xiàng)C譯為“擔(dān)心的”；選項(xiàng)D譯為“自豪的”。根據(jù)文章語(yǔ)境判斷，又因?yàn)?/span>“be crazy about”為固定搭配，譯為“著迷于……，瘋狂愛(ài)好……”故正確答案為選項(xiàng)A。

【7】句意：我終于能夠創(chuàng)造出屬于我自己的美麗。本題考查副詞。前文提到，作者很快就對(duì)攝影相關(guān)的色彩、光線、形狀和與之相關(guān)的所有事情著迷。“在幾個(gè)月的對(duì)于室外風(fēng)景的研究以及觀察人們的眼神之后，我______能夠創(chuàng)造屬于自己的美麗”。因?yàn)樯衔奶岬揭婚_(kāi)始作者拍攝風(fēng)景的時(shí)候不需要?jiǎng)?chuàng)造自己的風(fēng)景，所以經(jīng)過(guò)幾個(gè)月的學(xué)習(xí)之后，最終能夠拍攝，或者說(shuō)創(chuàng)造出屬于自己的美麗。選項(xiàng)A譯為“可能”；選項(xiàng)B譯為“很快， 快速地”；選項(xiàng)C譯為“立即、馬上”；選項(xiàng)D譯為“最終、終于”。 根據(jù)文章語(yǔ)境判斷，故正確答案為選項(xiàng)D。

【8】句意：這些都是我藝術(shù)能力提高的標(biāo)志。本題考查名詞。前文提到，“目前為止，我的作品已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)在兩家雜志并且在兩家不同的博物館展出。這不是巨大的成就, 但是對(duì)于我來(lái)說(shuō)很重要。它們是我藝術(shù)能力提高的____。對(duì)于一個(gè)攝影師來(lái)說(shuō)，作品的展出就是藝術(shù)能力提高的一種標(biāo)志”。選項(xiàng)A譯為“標(biāo)準(zhǔn)”；選項(xiàng)B譯為“標(biāo)志”；選項(xiàng)C譯為“方式、方法”；選項(xiàng)D譯為“價(jià)格”。根據(jù)文章語(yǔ)境判斷，故正確答案為選項(xiàng)B。

解答完形填空首先要通讀全文，掌握大意。結(jié)合選項(xiàng)初步弄清短文寫(xiě)了些什么內(nèi)容。在理解全文意思的基礎(chǔ)上，結(jié)合文章內(nèi)容對(duì)空缺句子作合乎邏輯的推理。必須弄清空缺詞句的確切含義，空缺詞句與其前后句的意義銜接必須自然、合理，最后根據(jù)語(yǔ)境，結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，選出正確答案。如，第2小題，根據(jù)前文提到“在擺弄了相機(jī)一個(gè)月之后”和后文的“My photos were clearly missing something of importance and had no creativity.”可知作者意識(shí)到自己在攝影方面沒(méi)有天賦和才華。故答案選A。第4小題，根據(jù)上文中“before the walk”和下文中的“when I was walking”，此處是名詞復(fù)現(xiàn)，根據(jù)文章語(yǔ)境判斷，故答案選C。
