15．"Wanna buy a body？"That was the opening line of more than a few phone calls I got from self-employed 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 pictures of bodies or run after famous people like Princess Diana，and"us"，the serious newspeople．But after 16years in that role，I came to wonder whether the two worlds were easily distinguishable．
Working in the reputable world of journalism，I told photographers to cover other people's difficult life situations．I justified marching into moments of sadness，under the appearance of the reader's right to know．I worked with professionals talking their way into situations or shooting from behind police lines．And I wasn't alone．
In any American town，after a car crash or some other horrible incident when ordinary people are hurt or killed，you rarely see photographers pushing past rescue workers to take photos of the blood and injuries．But you are likely to see local newspaper and television photographers on the scene-and fast…
How can we justify doing this？Journalists are taught to separate，doing the job from worrying about the consequences of publishing what they record．Repeatedly，they are reminded of a news-business saying：Leave your conscience in the office，A victim may lie bleeding，unconscious，or dead．Your job is to record the image （圖象）．You're a photographer，not an emergency medical worker．You put away your feelings and document the scene．
But catastrophic 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．They rush to obtain the rights to be the only one to own these shocking images and death is usually the subject．Often，an agency buys a picture from a local newspaper or an amateur photographer and puts it up for bid by major magazines．The most sought-after special pictures command tens of thousands of dollars through bidding contests．
I worked on all those stories and many like them．When they happen，you move quickly：buying，dealing，trying to beat the agencies to the pictures．
Now，many people believe journalists are the hypocrites （偽君子） who need to be brought down，and it's our pictures that most anger others．Readers may not believe，as we do，that there is a distinction between clear-minded"us"and mean-spirited"them"．In too many cases，by our choices of images as well as how we get  them，we prove our readers right．

67．When journalists are working，they are told toC．
A．work with their conscience
B．respect the privacy of the victim
C．separate their work from feelings
D．a(chǎn)sk police for permission to take photos
68．The 5th and 6th paragraphs mainly tell us thatD．
A．speed determines the success of a news story
B．photo agencies are greedier than serious newspeople
C．photographers have free access to photos of accidents
D．profit is the driving force beliind the competition for photos
69．It can be learned from the last paragraph that serious newspeopleB．
A．obtain photos differently from news agencies
B．a(chǎn)re no better than self-employed photographers
C．a(chǎn)re more devoted to work than non-professionals
D．have a higher moral standard than self-employed photographers
70．The underlined word"them"in the last paragraph refers toD．
A．photo editors                          B．photo agencies
C．serious newspeople                     D．self-employed photographers．

分析 作者通過(guò)講述記者和攝影師的職責(zé)，告訴我們他們的不同．

解答 CDBD
67    C   細(xì)節(jié)題．由第二段"I justified marching into moments of sadness，under the appearance of the reader's right to know．"可知在讀者的知情權(quán)的表象下，我有理由進(jìn)入悲傷的片刻，說(shuō)明記者必須把感情和工作分開(kāi)，正確答案為C．
68    D   細(xì)節(jié)題．由第五段第三、四句"They rush to obtain the rights to be the only one to own these shocking images and death is usually the subject．Often，an agency buys a picture from a local newspaper or an amateur photographer and puts it up for bid by major magazines．"可知這兩段講了大災(zāi)難發(fā)生后，攝影師第一時(shí)間跑去拍攝是為了拿到獨(dú)家照片來(lái)賺錢，由此可知這兩段告訴我們攝影師去競(jìng)爭(zhēng)獨(dú)家照片是有利益驅(qū)使的，所以D項(xiàng)正確．而A、B、C項(xiàng)在這兩段沒(méi)有相關(guān)內(nèi)容，所以A、B、C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤．故正確答案為D．
69     B    推斷題．由最后一段最后一句"In too many cases，by our choices of images as well as how we get them，we prove our readers right．"可知作者想表達(dá)的觀點(diǎn)是讀者認(rèn)為記者是"偽君子"的看法是對(duì)的，所謂嚴(yán)肅的新聞人其實(shí)和自由攝影師沒(méi)有根本的差別，所以B項(xiàng)正確．而另外三項(xiàng)在最后一段沒(méi)有相關(guān)內(nèi)容，所以A、C、D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤．故正確答案為B．
70    D   猜測(cè)詞義題．由最后一段形容 them 所使用的形容詞"mean-spirited"以及形容他們記者的 clear-minded 可知作者想把有職業(yè)素養(yǎng)的新聞人與那些為了利益而去拍照片的人分開(kāi)，由此可推斷 them 指的是那些 self-employed photographers，故正確答案為D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 學(xué)生需要認(rèn)真閱讀原文，把握文章大意，對(duì)文章脈絡(luò)有整體的了解，能仔細(xì)查找文中細(xì)節(jié)，并能根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容進(jìn)行合理的推測(cè)判斷．

6．The term culture now is more used to describe everything from the fine arts to the outlook of a business group or a sports team．In its original sense，however，culture includes all identifying aspects of a racial group，nation，or empire：its physical environment，history，and traditions，its social rules and economic structure，and its religious beliefs and arts．
The central beliefs and customs of a group are handed down from one generation to another．It is for this reason that most people regard culture as learned rather than innate．People acquire a culture because they are not born with one．The process by which a person develops a taste for regional foods，accented speech，or an outlook on the world over time，therefore，is known as enculturation （文化適應(yīng)）．
Cultures are often identified by their symbols-images that are familiar and coated with meaning．Totem poles （圖騰柱） carved with animals and creative figures suggest aspects of the Native American peoples of the Pacific Northwest but more literally represent specific tribes （部落）．In Asia and India，the color of yellow is connected with temples while in ancient China it was a color only the emperor's family was allowed to wear．Thus，different cultures may respond to a symbol quite differently．For example，to some a flag may represent pride，historical accomplishments，or ideals； to others，however，it can mean danger or oppression．
To individuals unfamiliar with cultures outside their own，the beliefs，behaviors，and artistic expression of other groups can seem strange and even threatening．A society that ranks all other cultures against its own standards is considered to be ethnocentric （from the Greek ethnos，meaning"people，"and kentros，meaning"center"）．A strongly ethnocentric society assumes also that what is different from its own culture is likely to be inferior and，possibly，wrong or evil．
All people are ethnocentric to some degree，and some aspects of ethnocentrism，such as national pride，contribute to a well-functioning society．An appreciation for one's own culture，however，does not prevent acceptance and respect for another culture．History documents the long-term vigour and success of multicultural groups in which people from numerous and various cultural backgrounds live and work together．Extreme ethnocentrism，in contrast，can lead to racism-the belief that it is race and racial origin that account for variations in human character or ability and that one's own race is superior to all others．

74．What does the word"innate"in Paragraph 2 most probably mean？A
A．Instinctive．
B．Developed．
C．Believable．
D．Cultivated．
75．Which of the following is true according to the passage？A
A．Different interpretations of a symbol help to distinguish one culture from another．
B．An ethnocentric country opens welcoming arms to cultures different from its own．
C．Culture consists of some positive features of a racial group，nation or empire．
D．People from various cultural backgrounds often reach an agreement on some image．
76．What can be inferred from the passage？C
A．All aspects of ethnocentrism can produce negative effects on a society．
B．Racism is unlikely to bring about serious conflicts among different cultures．
C．Respect and acceptance of different cultures are a proper cultural attitude．
D．Countries with a strong sense of national pride play a superior role in the world．
77．Which might be the best title of the passage？D
A．Culture，the origin of racial superiority
B．Culture，a faithful mirror of history
C．Culture，the vigour of world development   
D．Culture，a distinctive identity of a nation．

3．As a group of young African immigrants struggle to adapt to life in the United States，an after-school drama program at White Oak Middle School aims to make their lives easier by first making them a little harder．
Project X is a program that uses drama，dance，poetry and other creative outlets to help students discuss the tough and sometimes painful problems they face as pre-teen immigrants with language barriers．A final unveiling of their creation will be performed for friends and family at the end of the year at Imagination Stage．
Wanjiru Kamau，coordinator of White Oak's African Club said it's important to give troubles to group members to help them find their place at the school．"It comforts those who are uncomfortable，and it discomforts those who are comfortable，"Kamau said of Project X．
Kamau teamed up with Imagination Stage after she noticed that many African students seemed uncomfortable talking about problems，such as being laughed at by their fellow students about how they look and talk．When most of the kids join the club，they speak little or no English，Kamau said．Each week，the club typically draws five to ten students who are originally from Africa for discussion sessions and the Project X programme．
"We are going to express ourselves through our words and our actions，and that's powerful，"said teaching artist Meg Green as she introduced fill-in-the-blank poems the students wrote about their identities．
One student，F(xiàn)rank Ketchouang，13，wrote，"I am from the world； I am love，"which drew oohs and aahs from the group．Ketchouang has been in the United States for less than a year，said Program Coordinator Chad Dike．When Ketchouang started attending Project X，he had been in the United States for two months and spoke no English．Now he's one of the group's most outgoing members and helps translate instructions from English to Creole for the group's newest member，who is from Haiti．
Many people will give up when there's a language barrier，"but these students prove them wrong"．Kamau said．"You do have something to give．You are important．When TV，media，etc．a(chǎn)re bringing them down，this program is bringing them up．"

41．Project X is intended for helping the young African immigrants toC．
A．get over language barriers                   B．enrich after-school life
C．overcome tough problems                      D．become more creative
42．How well the members learn in the Project X program is shown byA．
A．their annual creative performances          B．their annual scores gained at school
C．the comments of friends and family          D．the comments of the program teachers
43．What do we know about the Imagination Stage？B
A．It's established by Kamau for Project X．
B．It's a cooperative partner of White Oak'S African Club．
C．It's a project designed by White Oak Middle School．
D．It's operated once at the end of each year．
44．According to the author，what Franck Ketchouang wrote wasC．
A．silly        B．simple      C．excellent     D．contradictory
45．The passage is written mainly toA．
A．introduce the Project X program           B．inspire immigrants to never give up
C．a(chǎn)dvocate White Oak'S African Club        D．call for more attention to immigrants．

Brain Drain
Imagine you are sitting in your living room and out of surprise you get a call from a friend．He tells you that he's gotten the student visa and is going to study abroad for higher education．His parents may feel it a privilege that their son is guaranteed to have a bright future and unbelievable job opportunities．（71）A  While many people believe that immigration is a personal choice that must be understood and respected，others have realized a serious problem-brain drain．Brain drain refers to the flow of highly skilled and educated people，such as doctors，engineers，scientists from less developed countries to developed countries． Brain drain has become a common social problem．（72）F These reasons are"Push"factors （因素） and"Pull"factors．The push factors include low wages and lack of satisfactory working and living conditions，and so on．The pull factors，however，include higher pay and better working conditions，better job opportunities，as well as better research equipment．
As we can see，many educated people are heading for richer countries，seeking higher wages and better working conditions．（73）D It reduces the number of creative people who can contribute to the development of their country．Meanwhile，with more successful businessmen taking their money abroad，their countries are missing an opportunity of wealth creation．（74）B Besides these economic effects，the brain drain has also social negative effects，such as the loss of improvement in research and technique．
Therefore，measures must be taken in less developed countries to avoid brain drain．（75）E   Social developments like health services and education opportunities also need improving．Otherwise，less developed countries will face an uncertain future．
A．Even you may start to admire his plans．
B．This also reduces government tax income．
C．Why should their motivations be seriously considered？
D．This of course has serious negative effects on their own countries．
E．There should be more job opportunities for highly educated people．
F．So it is important to find out the proper reasons behind the brain drain．
G．Most of the measures taken so far have not reduced the effects of brain drain．

5．Rae Armantrout，who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego（UCSD） for two decades，has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most recent book，"Versed"．
"I'm delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings，as compared to even the National Book Critics Award，which I was also surprised and delighted to win，"said Armantrout．
"For a long time，my writing has been just below the media radar，and to have this kind of attention，suddenly，with my 10th book，is really surprising．"
Armantrout，a native Californian，received her bachelor's degree at UC Berkeley，where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov，and her master's in creative writing from San Francisco State University．She is a founding member of Language Poets，a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think．
In March，she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for"Versed．"
"This book has gotten more attention，"Armantrout said，"but I don't feel as if it's better．"
The first half of"Versed"focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq．The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006．
Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not．"Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry，"said Seth Lerer，head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD．
"Versed"，published by the Wesleyan University Press，did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works，which is about 2，700 copies．The new edition is scheduled to appear in May．
66．According to Rae Armantrout，B．
A．her 10th book is much better
