解析:

本文讲述了战地记者在战场上所遇到的各种艰难和危险并且描述了他们的思想斗争的情况。

36. D。上句话说,“你”不是士兵,接下来说的是“你”甚至(even)没有枪,因为“你”是战地记者。

37. D。通读全文(尤其是第2段第1句话)可知,“你”是战地记者(a war reporter),那“你”当然地站在 camera 前了。

38. B。既然是战地记者站在摄像机前,那当然是给电视观众(TV viewers)作报道了。

39. A。根据第1段中说的around you shells are exploding以及第2段中说的…reporters and photographers were killed 可知,只有选项A最合适。另外,比较四个选项,再结合常识,也可选出答案A。

40. C。根据常识和后面的 28 reporters and photographers were killed 可知答案选C。

41. A。根据文章意思和常识,战地记者死了28人,那么还有数百人应该是 injured。

42. A。比较:bring 带来;show 出示,拿给……看;take 带去,拿到;make 制造。结合后面的 pictures to our TV screens,只有bring 最佳。

43. C。前面说给电视带来pictures,那么与之相对照,给报纸带来的应该是stories。

44. B。根据下文可知,成为一名驻外记者是年轻记者的梦想。

45. D。where引导地点状语从句,其意为“……的地方”。

46. D。前文说当驻外记者是每个年轻记者的梦想,所以当实现梦想的机会出现的时候,他们就一定会抓住,即使(even if)是战争也不畏惧。

47. A。根据下文中的…and bullet(子弹) are flying past your ears…What am I doing here? I’m not going to do this again 可知,记者们也有“害怕”的时候。

48. C。子弹从耳边飞过,用past,即指从耳朵旁边飞过。注意不能用through,因为它是指“穿过”“穿透”。

49. B。句中的but使句意发生转折,前面说有时也有害怕的时候,后面经but转折后,应该这种感觉一会儿就过去了。(答此题时要注意围绕“当驻外记者是每个年轻记者的梦想”这一主题。)

50. A。此处指的是害怕的感觉过去后,当下一场战争爆发的时候,你又会出现在那里。(答此题时也要注意围绕“当驻外记者是每个年轻记者的梦想”这一主题。)

51. C。由下文可知,他们随身带着护身符,所以他们不相信他们会死。

52. D。比较:hang 悬挂;wear 穿,戴;hold 握住,拿住;carry 带,携带。因其后的宾语是 a lucky charm(护身符),显然只有 carry 最合适。

53. B。比较四个选项,再结合空格后的every time,选B最佳。

54. C。向上帝祈求,当然是说“我保证”或“我发誓”,故选C最佳。

55. B。由于战地记者们在“退出”这个问题上总是说话不算数,所以当上帝再次听到他们保证的时候,上帝便会“发笑”了。

 [1] While the Amazon may seem far away, we are all closely connected to it through our actions. Now there are largely the results of great demand for forest products and agriculture land, which makes its plant and animal species in danger. Fortunately, we can help save the Amazon rainforest by making the right choices in our daily lives. By being smart consumers, we can make a difference and help reduce human pressures on the forests and rivers.

[2] Look for forestt products that you don ’ t need to destroy forests to get. We can choose many rainforest products like Brazil nuts and coffee, which can be got without destroying forests. And at the same time the money you provide can help local people to _______________.

[3] Recycle everything possible. Such items as batteries, cloth, glass, paper in our daily life can be recycled with different techniques. For example, the collected glass pieces are taken to a glass recycling factory where they are madeinto new glass bottles through a series of processing.

[4] Buy the rightpets. Many wild animals are illegally caught in the Amazon and sold as pets and large numbers of these animals die in the process. It ’ s important to ask where the animal comes from and to require a store to give you proof when you decide to buy a pet.

[5] Carefully select the appliances( 家用电器 ) in your home . For example, order low-flow shower heads ( 喷头 ),which can reduce your use of hot water and use of energy to heat the water. So it ’ s wise to select the appliances which can save energy.

[6] Turn off appliances that you are not using and take the plug off them..Switch off TVs, computers, lights, etc. even when they are not being used and make sure the plug off the switch of some appliances that se electricity including TVs, video and audio systems, computers.
