Question

【题目】Looking at life differently

When I was 14, life was boring.

However, I didn’t mind having the same views (风景) every day. And even though my school had over a thousand students, I didn’t really care to notice the differences between us all.

But this boring view of mine _______ when my parents bought me a camera for Christmas. After a month of playing with my new camera, I realized I had no _______ for taking pictures. Even though I got friends to pose (摆姿势) in front of ancient buildings and in flowery fields, nothing seemed to _______. My photos were clearly missing something of importance and had no creativity. After a while, I dropped my new hobby.

Then, a month or two later, I suddenly decided to pick it up again. During the summer break, I went for a walk on the railroad tracks (铁轨) behind my house.

The tracks are a warm red color. Before the walk, I thought, “Maybe I should bring my camera.”

Surprisingly, this _______was what began my love for photography. When I was walking on the tracks without a model and only nature around me, I realized how important it was to look at the details (细节) of things. I didn’t worry about trying to _______ something beautiful. Instead, I just took photos of the beauty already around me.

I quickly ________ about color, lighting, shape and everything in between. After months of studying outdoor sights and looking at people’s eyes, I was _______ able to create beauty of my own. Slowly, my photos became something I was proud of.

So far, my works have appeared in two magazines and been shown in two different museums. They’re not huge achievements, but they’re important to me. And they’re the ______ of how much my artistic abilities have grown.

Thanks to this Christmas gift from my parents, I now have a new way of looking at the world.

【解析】

文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文，父母给作者买了一个相机作为圣诞礼物，开始的时候作者拍摄的照片很失败，作者认为自己没有艺术天赋，于是放弃了摄影。后来作者无意中对生活有了新的领悟：美好事物就在自己身边。随之而来作者的艺术理解力也有了提高，最终作品被杂志出版了。

【1】句意：但当我父母给我买了一台相机作为圣诞礼物时，我的这种无聊的看法改变了。本题考查动词。文章第一段提到“生活很无聊，第二段中提到即使我们学校有1000多名学生，我也并没有注意到我们之间有什么不同”，而在第三段的转折词“but”说明作者无聊的生活发生了改变。选项A译为“出现”；选项B译为“改变”；选项C译为“发展，培养”；选项D译为“仍然，继续”。故正确答案为选项B。

【2】句意：玩了一个月的新相机后，我意识到我没有拍照的天赋。本题考查名词。前文提到“在摆弄了相机一个月之后”和后文的“My photos were clearly missing something of importance and had no creativity.”可知作者意识到自己在摄影方面没有天赋和才华。选项A译为“天赋，才华”；选项B译为“愿望”；选项C译为“时间”；选项D译为“计划”。根据文章语境判断，故正确答案为选项A。

【3】句意：尽管我让朋友在古建筑前面和鲜花盛开的田野里摆姿势，但似乎都无济于事、不起作用。本题考查动词。前文中提到尽管我让朋友在古建筑前面和绚丽的田野里摆姿势, 说明和后面的nothing seemed to前后逻辑表示转折，译为“似乎都无济于事，不起作用”。选项A译为“失去”；选项B译为“伤害”；选项C译为“成长，生长”；选项D 译为“起作用，工作”。根据文章语境判断，故正确答案为选项D。

【4】句意：令人惊讶的是，这次散步开始了我对摄影的热爱。本题考查名词。根据上文中“before the walk”和下文中的“when I was walking”，本题是名词复现。选项A译为“颜色”；选项B译为“房子”；选项C译为“散步”；选项D译为“相机”。根据文章语境判断，故正确答案为选项C。

【5】句意：我不需要担心去创造一些美丽的东西。本题考查动词。前文提到，当作者在铁轨上行走而且没有模特的时候，他的周围只有大自然。后文提到，我只需要拍摄我周围已有的美景就可以了。因为前文和后文都提到了“大自然”和“已有的美景”，所以是不需要再去“创造”美景。选项A译为“复制，抄袭”；选项B译为“做记号，打分数”；选项C译为“创造”；选项D译为“保护”。根据文章语境判断，故正确答案为选项C。

【6】句意：我很快就迷上了颜色、灯光、形状以及这两者之间的一切。本题考查形容词。上文提到“令人惊讶的是，这次散步开始了我对摄影的热爱。”所以应该是对摄影相关的事情非常喜爱，非常痴迷。选项A译为“疯狂的，着迷的”；选项B译为“紧张的”；选项C译为“担心的”；选项D译为“自豪的”。根据文章语境判断，又因为“be crazy about”为固定搭配，译为“着迷于……，疯狂爱好……”故正确答案为选项A。

【7】句意：我终于能够创造出属于我自己的美丽。本题考查副词。前文提到，作者很快就对摄影相关的色彩、光线、形状和与之相关的所有事情着迷。“在几个月的对于室外风景的研究以及观察人们的眼神之后，我______能够创造属于自己的美丽”。因为上文提到一开始作者拍摄风景的时候不需要创造自己的风景，所以经过几个月的学习之后，最终能够拍摄，或者说创造出属于自己的美丽。选项A译为“可能”；选项B译为“很快， 快速地”；选项C译为“立即、马上”；选项D译为“最终、终于”。 根据文章语境判断，故正确答案为选项D。

【8】句意：这些都是我艺术能力提高的标志。本题考查名词。前文提到，“目前为止，我的作品已经出现在两家杂志并且在两家不同的博物馆展出。这不是巨大的成就, 但是对于我来说很重要。它们是我艺术能力提高的____。对于一个摄影师来说，作品的展出就是艺术能力提高的一种标志”。选项A译为“标准”；选项B译为“标志”；选项C译为“方式、方法”；选项D译为“价格”。根据文章语境判断，故正确答案为选项B。

解答完形填空首先要通读全文，掌握大意。结合选项初步弄清短文写了些什么内容。在理解全文意思的基础上，结合文章内容对空缺句子作合乎逻辑的推理。必须弄清空缺词句的确切含义，空缺词句与其前后句的意义衔接必须自然、合理，最后根据语境，结合选项，选出正确答案。如，第2小题，根据前文提到“在摆弄了相机一个月之后”和后文的“My photos were clearly missing something of importance and had no creativity.”可知作者意识到自己在摄影方面没有天赋和才华。故答案选A。第4小题，根据上文中“before the walk”和下文中的“when I was walking”，此处是名词复现，根据文章语境判断，故答案选C。
