On a hot African morning, Leila was lying on her stomach and an elephant was walking towards her. Leila waited. Then she pushed the button on her camera. “And I got my best photo of an elephant ever, by lying under my car,” Leila explained. “I wanted to get close to the elephants, but of course this was dangerous; they had their babies with them. So every morning I used to park my car in the open near the path (小道). They used to take the same path every morning when they left the water hole. After a week, they were used to seeing my car. So the next morning, I lay under it and got my photo!”

Many of the best wildlife photos come from good planning. In Africa, photographers set up their hides (隱匿處) near water holes. They also set up hides near forest paths, as animals use the same paths every night. For bird-watching, many lakes have hides. Inside the hides, bird-watchers can watch all day in the shade (蔭處) out of the wind and rain.

Good wildlife photos are needed for books, postcards, magazines and newspapers. But a success rate of 1 in 20 is good.

1.Why did Leila lie under her car on the stomach?

A.Because she wanted to sleep.

B.Because she wanted to take photos but was afraid of the animals.

C.Because it’s easy to see the elephants.

D.Because it’s very comfortable.

2.How can photograpers take good photos?

A.By making good preparation.               B.By going into the forest at night.

C.By walking around the holes.               D.By going to the nearest lake.

3.Which of the following statements is right according to the passage?

A.All animals go to water holes at night.

B.Lakes are good places for bird-watching.

C.Leila used her car to prevent the sunshine.

D.Animaals pay no attention to photographers.

4.What can we know from the underlined sentence?

A.The successf rate of taking wildlife photos is 50% at most.

B.Photographers who take wildlife photos need more practice.

C.To take good wildlife photos is not difficult.

D.It’s hard to take good wildlife photos.

試題分析:本文講述的是拍攝短文照片的情況介紹,同時(shí)也告訴我們,拍攝動(dòng)物的照片很困難。

1.B 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第一段3,4行“I wanted to get close to the elephants, but of course this was dangerous; they had their babies with them.可知B項(xiàng)內(nèi)容:他想拍動(dòng)物的照片,可是又很害怕。正確。

2.A 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第二段第一句Many of the best wildlife photos come from good planning.可知好的作品都需要好的計(jì)劃,也就是說要好好準(zhǔn)備。故A正確。

3.B 細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)文章第二段后兩行For bird-watching, many lakes have hides. Inside the hides, bird-watchers can watch all day in the shade (蔭處) out of the wind and rain.可知lakes是觀察鳥兒的好對(duì)方。故B正確。

4.D 推理題。根據(jù)本句. But a success rate of 1 in 20 is good.可知20張照片里只有1張是好的,能夠使用的。說明很難拍攝到合適的照片。故D正確。

考點(diǎn):考察知識(shí)類短文閱讀

點(diǎn)評(píng):本文講述的是拍攝短文照片的情況介紹,同時(shí)也告訴我們,拍攝動(dòng)物的照片很困難。文章基本上是考查細(xì)節(jié)題,對(duì)此類題型考生可以首先從問題中找到關(guān)鍵詞,然后以此為線索,運(yùn)用略讀及查閱的技巧在文中迅速尋找這一細(xì)節(jié),找到后再把這一部分內(nèi)容仔細(xì)閱讀一遍,仔細(xì)比較所給選項(xiàng)與文中細(xì)節(jié)的細(xì)微區(qū)別,在準(zhǔn)確理解細(xì)節(jié)的前提下,最后確定最佳答案。
