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 （图象）．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 （伪君子） 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．ask 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．are no better than self-employed photographers
C．are 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 作者通过讲述记者和摄影师的职责，告诉我们他们的不同．

解答 CDBD
67    C   细节题．由第二段"I justified marching into moments of sadness，under the appearance of the reader's right to know．"可知在读者的知情权的表象下，我有理由进入悲伤的片刻，说明记者必须把感情和工作分开，正确答案为C．
68    D   细节题．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．"可知这两段讲了大灾难发生后，摄影师第一时间跑去拍摄是为了拿到独家照片来赚钱，由此可知这两段告诉我们摄影师去竞争独家照片是有利益驱使的，所以D项正确．而A、B、C项在这两段没有相关内容，所以A、B、C项错误．故正确答案为D．
69     B    推断题．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．"可知作者想表达的观点是读者认为记者是"伪君子"的看法是对的，所谓严肃的新闻人其实和自由摄影师没有根本的差别，所以B项正确．而另外三项在最后一段没有相关内容，所以A、C、D项错误．故正确答案为B．
70    D   猜测词义题．由最后一段形容 them 所使用的形容词"mean-spirited"以及形容他们记者的 clear-minded 可知作者想把有职业素养的新闻人与那些为了利益而去拍照片的人分开，由此可推断 them 指的是那些 self-employed photographers，故正确答案为D．

5．It is 2035．You have a job，a family and you are about 40years old!Welcome to your future life．
Getting ready for work，you pause in front of the mirror．"Turn red，"you say．Your shirt changes from sky blue to deep red．Tiny preprogrammed electronics are rearranged in your shirt to change its color．Looking into the mirror，you find it hard to believe you're 40．You look much younger．With amazing progress in medicine，people in your generation may live to be 150years old．You are not even middle-aged!
As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your breakfast cereal into a bowl，you hear，"To lose weight，you shouldn't eat that，"from your shoes．They read the tiny electronic code on the cereal box to find out the nutrition details．You decide to listen to your shoes．"Kitchen，what can I have for breakfast？"A list of possible foods appears on the counter as the kitchen checks its food supplies．
"Ready for your trip to space？"you ask your son and daughter．In 2005only specially trained astronauts went into space-and very few of them．Today anyone can go to space for day trips or longer vacations．Your best friend even works in space．Handing your children three strawberries each，you add，"The doctor said you need these for space travel．"Thanks to medical progress，vaccination shots（防疫针） are a thing of the past．Ordinary foods contain the vaccines．With the strawberries in their mouths，the kids head for the front door．
It's time for you to go to work．Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors．"My office，Autopilot，"you order．Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic on the highway．You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper．The latest news downloads and fills the viewer．Looking through the pages，you watch the news as video film rather than read it．
（Notes：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TWELVE  WORDS．）

78．What changes the color of your shirt？The shirt itself
79．The shoes know that you shouldn't eat the breakfast cereal bychecking the nutrition details of the food．
80．What do the strawberries the children eat serve as？Vaccines
81．In the future，when you look through the pages in the e-newspapers，you watch the news as video film rather than read it．
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 （文化适应）．
Cultures are often identified by their symbols-images that are familiar and coated with meaning．Totem poles （图腾柱） 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．

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，Frank 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．are 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．advocate White Oak'S African Club        D．call for more attention to immigrants．
10．根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项．
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．

4．Zhang Lili，a 29-year-old middle school teacher at the No 19middle school in the city of Jiamusi in Northeast China's Heilongjiang province was crossing the road just outside the school's gate when a school bus suddenly came rushing toward nearby students at 8：38pm on May 8，2012．
"There were three buses at the school gate ready to pick up students，but the one in the back suddenly crashed into the second bus and pushed it into the first one．There were several students standing between the first and the second buses and they were about to be crushed，"said Liu Ye，a student of No.19middle school．
"We were waiting to board the bus when suddenly itbegan moving toward the teachers and students．Zhang Lili immediately pushed the students out of the way，but unfortunately she didn't escape．The bus crushed her legs．"added Liu．
Zhang Lili was sent to hospital at about 9pm and she was critically injured and her blood pressure was low．The situation was quite serious when rushed to hospital．
After consulting specialists，the doctors decided that the only way to save her life was cut off both of her legs．
Upon learning about the accident，the deputy mayor of the city，Sun Zhe，asked the hospital to"save the young teacher regardless of the cost"
"If necessary，we will invite more specialists from the capital city，even from the whole nation，"said Sun．
Fortunately，after 58hours of emergency medical attention after being transferred to the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University，Zhang finally regained consciousness on May 15．
"But it cannot be ruled out that her condition may worsen，and the doctors are still working full out to save the heroic teacher，"said Zhao Mingyan，ICU director at the hospital，where Zhang is now receiving treatment．"Her courage moved all of our staff，and we will try our best to help the brave teacher in her future life．"said Wang Jianwei，the director of center．
The Ministry of Education has also named her"National Outstanding Teacher"and called on the country's educators to learn from her．

"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．
