Question

【题目】阅读理解
Wherever travelers go, cameras are sure to follow. It's great fun to take photos, and even more fun to show slides of the trip to friends and relatives when they come back home.
There's Aunt Sarah, smiling in front of Buckingham Palace; Aunt Sarah, smiling under the Eiffel Tower; and Aunt Sarah, smiling in a Venetian Canal. Everyone knows what Aunt Sarah looks like; they also know what Europe's great landmarks (显著地面景观) look like.
But a young man named David, just back from a trip to Greece, asked a few friends over to see his slides. The young man had an artist's eye. His pictures were not of familiar Greek architectures. Instead he took pictures of farmers at work in the field, fishermen repairing their nets, and bearded priests (牧师) bending over their Bibles. He captured (抓住) the colour and character of the country. His friends were so interested that they asked for more.
Any amateur (外行) can do the same. All he needs is a simple camera and a little sensitivity. When he learns that a nation lives in its people as well as in its landmarks, he moves from an amateur to an artist.

【解析】本文讲述的是拍照的话题，从拍照的内容和技巧可以看出外行与艺术家的差别。
（1）词义猜测。根据句意：当他们回到家向亲戚朋友展示旅途的幻灯片甚至更有趣。show sth to sb向某人展示某物。故选B。
（2）推理判断。frightened恐惧的；excited兴奋的；bored厌烦的；sad伤心的。根据第二段Everyone knows what Aunt Sarah looks like; they also know what Europe’s great landmarks (显著地面景观) look like.故选C。
（3）推理判断。landmark地标；architecture建筑；people人；history历史。根据 第三段His pictures were not of familiar Greek architectures. Instead he took pictures of farmers at work in the field, fishermen repairing their nets, and bearded priests (牧师) bending over their Bibles. 可知他拍的都是人。故选C。
（4）推理判断。根据最后一段可知，任何外行做的都一样，他需要的只是一个照相机和一点敏感性。当他知道一个国家生活不但生活在它的地标中而且还生活在它的人民中的时候，他就从一个外行变成了一个艺术家。因此可知David是一个艺术家，故选Ｄ。
