     In many ways, the earliest periods of photography are the most satisfying. Learning to use the controls is
easy and comes quickly, and you can measure the results in terms of sharp and correctly de- veloped pictures.
Once you have mastered that, you can start on the second step of your photographic work. Using these basic
skills in the wide variety of situations to give the pictures you want, noticing what you see through the
viewfinder and turning that into the most effective picture become totally interesting.
     All good photographs have one thing in common: there is no doubt what the subject of the picture is meant
to be. Every photog- rapher must use those same standards to his or her work, not only to finished results but
to the subject before he or she takes it. Always work out quite clearly what the subject of the picture is to be
and why you are taking the picture. For example, "I am going to take a picture of this street to show the
different styles and ages of the buildings and that people have been living,working and shopping in them since
time began." By doing this you have a better idea of what to include in the picture and what to leave out. How
often have you been shown photographs taken by people away on a trip some- where? The judgment is always
similar, something about"the car park is out of the picture to the left",or " you can't quite see from this picture
but if you go up the street". The photographs are usual- ly collections of buildings, people, parked cars,
possibly a distant look of an ancient church, and best of all, a figure which you are told is Aunt Henrietta,
disappearing in the middle distance. When photographers show you their pictures, they have a clear idea of
what they want to bring to your attention, but it often does not ap- pear in the picture. If they had given just a
little of their time to think about their future judgment before taking the picture, then the picture would relate its
own story. Good pictures can show their sub- jects quickly and easily.
1. What does the first sentence of the passage mean?
A. The skills of photography are not as satisfactory nowadays as before.
B. The earliest pictures were the best pictures people have ever taken.
C. The present-day photography depends more on technology than on art.
D. Learning to produce a sharp and correctly developed picture is only the first step
     in photography and is easily learned.
2. What will it bring you if you decide the purpose of the photo- graph in advance?
A. It will allow you to leave out unnecessary material.
B. It will allow you to stand in the best place.
C. It will help you to vary the subjects of your pictures.
D. It means you will waste less time.
3. Many photographers fail because____.
A. their pictures include both buildings and people
B. everything is not clear in their pictures
C. the subjects of their pictures are not obvious
D. the explanation given for their pictures is mistaken
4. What book is this passage most likely taken from?
A. A book on photography for news reporters.
B. A book on how to photograph people.
C. A book on choosing the right camera.
D. A book on improving photographic techniques.

Students in America have to get required credits (学分) in order to graduate. The average workload at my school, Hotchkiss, is five courses. But at a school full of overachievers (成绩超过预料的学生), it’s very common to see people taking six or more classes.   

I am currently taking six and half classes, including Advanced Placement (AP) Physics, Senior English, AP art, piano (with music history and theory), chorus, US history and AP economics. AP is the more advanced level of courses. It's usually equivalent to first year college courses.   

By taking the AP exams in May every year, high school students in America get credits for college. In the US, most science classes are designed for one year. For example, we are covering the same amount of material in my AP physics class as we did in three years in China. The difference is that here, we get a broad education without studying the subjects in depth. Because of the fast speed, students are expected to study more independently.   

Teachers won’t go through everything in class. But if you want to have an in-depth study of a subject, you could design your own independent study with an instructor.   

As part of our graduation requirements, every student not only has to take US history for one year but also has to write a research paper on a certain topic. Thus, during the whole winter term, my close friends became the library and five thick books on the historic meeting between US President Richard Nixon and Chairman Mao in 1972.My research paper turned out to be 13 pages long and I made a lot of note cards in the process of researching. We took classes on how to write scholarly essays, how to narrow down a topic, how to find sources and how to cite (引证) properly.

In America, academic honesty is considered incredibly important. Paraphrasing (改述) a scholarly work without proper citation (引用) is regarded as academic dishonesty and may get you into trouble with the school’s discipline committee.

1.What does the underlined word “equivalent” in the second paragraph mean?

       A.near                    B.equal                  C.opposite               D.certain

2.Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?

       A.American high school students spend only a year’s time studying physics as we do in

China.

       B.In American high schools, students are expected to study more by themselves.

       C.In American high schools teachers will explain everything clearly to students.

       D.In America, when it comes to a research paper, proper citation is not important.

3.From the passage we can infer that the author is a (an) ______ student.

       A.diligent                B.lazy                    C.excellent             D.clever

4.In the passage, the author mainly tells us about ______.

       A.the differences between American school life and Chinese school life.

       B.courses in American high schools

       C.graduation requirements for American high school students

       D.American school workload
