When he was young, he moved to Kunming with his mother. Feeling like a caged (笼中的) bird in a big city, he was bored with the busy and noisy city life and looked forward to nature. His chance soon came. In 1983, he helped shoot (拍摄) a documentary about birds. That experience led him to learn photography and take photos of flying birds. In the 1980s, the Internet was not that popular in China and cameras were expensive. He managed to borrow a camera and threw himself into studying how to use it. During that time, the library became his favorite place where he first read some magazines about nature. It opened a door for him to connect with nature. In 1992, a research program was organized to protect a type of unusual monkeys which only live in China. Usually, the home of these monkeys has half-a-year-long winters. It created great challenges for Zhi Nong’s work, but he never drew back “I didn’t see the monkeys in the wild until I went into the mountains the third time,” said Zhi Nong. He went into the snow mountains six times just to get valuable photographs of the monkeys. Three years later, his works won international prizes. People around the world began to pay attention to the protection of wild animals in China. And he is the first Chinese winner of the world Wildlife Photographer of the year. ★ , he started “China Wildlife Photography Training Camp”.

Photographer’s Way of Protecting Nature B. Door between Magazines and Nature C. Difficulties of Taking Wildlife Photos D. World Attention to Animal Protection 【答案】21. C 22. D 23. A 24. B 25. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍志农的野生动物拍照经历，呼吁人们保护自然。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In 1983, he helped shoot (拍摄) a documentary about birds. That experience led him to learn photography and take photos of flying birds.”可知他在20世纪80年代学会了拍摄飞鸟，故选C。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In 1992, a research program was organized to protect a type of unusual monkeys which only live in China....He went into the snow mountains six times just to get valuable photographs of monkeys.”可知他给猴子拍了一些珍贵的的照片，故选D。 【23题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“It created great challenges for Zhi Nong’s work, but he never drew back‘I didn’t see the monkeys in the wild until I went into the mountains the third time,’”可以推测出“drew back”与“放弃”同义，故选A。 24题详解】 推理判断题。根据“He hopes that more young people will join in for the nature protection.”可知，他开创摄影训练营的目的应该是希望更多年轻人加入自然保护的行列，故选B。 25题详解】 最佳标题题。根据全文可知，文章主要写了自然摄影师志农的成长经历和他对自然的热爱，以及他开办了“中国野生动物摄影培训营”，希望更多年轻人加入自然保护的行列，因此“摄影师保护自然的方法”为最佳标题，故选A。 三．任务型完形填空（共 10 小题，每小题 1.5 分，计 15 分） 请用括号内词语的正确形式填空。 visit so paint at new city idea one spend he Pablo Picasso (毕加索) was born in Spain in 1881.

Do you know how tea bag drinking came about? The tea bag was invented in 1908 by Thomas Sullivan, an American tea seller. He was sending out free tea in silk (丝绸) bags for people to try. People put the bags together with the tea leaves into the cup and added hot water. 3 The tea tasted better, and people thought it was easier to clean the cup. They were not happy when Sullivan started sending them loose (散的) tea again. Sullivan realized that he had a hot new thing in his hands, and he built a machine to pack the bags. As tea bags became popular, they were changed from silk to gauze (薄纱) and later paper. In 1952, Lipton Tea made the tea bag even more popular with its invention of the four-sided (四面的) tea bag. Tea bags were soon popular in the UK, and today 85% of tea in the UK is packed in paper bags. 4 ________, many people still prefer loose tea. This is because some tea companies put not very good tea in their tea bags.
