So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph. The next important year in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype. Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities and mountains. In about 1840, photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. Mathew Brady was a well-known American photographer. He took many pictures of famous people. He was also the first person to take pictures of a war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible. In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography. Photographers could buy films ready-made in rolls. So they did not have to make the film themselves. The invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive. With the small camera, anyone could be a photographer. They took pictures of their families, friends and favorite places. They called these pictures “snapshots”. Photographs became very popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also use documentary photographs. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real than drawings. Photography also turned into a form of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photographs were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms. 1.What was special about Daguerre’s pictures? A.They were used for his business. B.They were clearer than Niepce’s. C.They were the first colored pictures. D.They were for an artistic purpose. 2.What can we learn about Mathew Brady? A.He took pictures of the American Civil War. B.He was the first to photograph people. C.He invented a new type of camera. D.He was a hero during the American Civil War. 3.What made photography accessible to common people? A.The small handheld camera. B.The ready-made films in rolls. C.Newspapers and magazines. D.Popularity of travelling. 4.What is the text mainly about? A.The history of the film industry. B.The invention of the camera. C.The development of photography. D.The role of photographs. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．A 4．C 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了摄影术从 1826 年法国 Niepce 发明简单相机拍摄首张照片开始，到 19 世纪末发展为艺术形式的历史进程，包括不同时期的重要人物、技术革新及摄影应用范围的拓展。 1.B　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest details.”可知,Daguerre的照片非常清晰。故选B。 2.A　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“He was also the first person...They made the war seem more real and more terrible.”可知,Mathew Brady是第一个拍摄战争照片的人,他拍了美国内战时期的照片。故选A。 3.A　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive...anyone could be a photographer.”可知,小型手持照相机的发明让普通人有机会接触摄影。故选A。 4.C　主旨大意题。根据文章各段首句“In 1826...a good artist.”“The next...was 1837.”“Soon...Daguerre’s process.”“In the 1880s...change photography.”“Photographs became...in the 1890s.”和“Photography...by the end of the 19th century.”可知,本篇文章主要以时间为顺序讲了摄影的发展。故选C。 七、七选五 A Plastic Ocean is a film to make you think.Think,and then act.We need to take action on our dependence on plastic.We’ve been producing plastic in huge quantities.Drinking bottles,shopping bags and even clothes are made with plastic.　1　 What happens to all the rest?This is the question the film A Plastic Ocean answers.  The film begins as a journey to film the largest animal on the planet,the blue whale.But during the journey the filmmakers make the shocking discovery of a huge,thick layer of plastic floating in the Indian Ocean.　2　 In total,they visited 20 locations around the world during the four years to make the film.  In the film there are beautiful shots of the seas and marine life.　3　 We see how marine species are being killed by all the plastic we are dumping in the ocean.The message about our use of plastic is painfully obvious.  　4　 In the second half,the filmmakers look at what we can do to deal with the problem.  They present short-term and long-term solutions.These include avoiding plastic containers and recycling as much as you can.The filmmakers also stress the need for governments to work more on recycling programmes. We make a shocking amount of plastic.Over 300 million tons of plastic are produced every year,and at least 8 million of those are dumped into the oceans.The results are disastrous,but it isn’t too late to change.　5　  A.This causes them to travel around the world to look at other affected areas. B.Once you’ve seen the film,you’ll realize it is time to do our part. C.It has raised public concern all over the world. D.We live in a world full of plastic,and only a small amount is recycled. E.But the film doesn’t only present the negative side. F.In conclusion,we only have one earth to live on. G.These are contrasted with dumps of plastic rubbish. 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．G 4．E 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了塑料垃圾堆积成海的糟糕现状。我们应当提高环保意识,改变现状。 1.D　根据上文“We’ve been producing plastic in huge quantities.Drinking bottles,shopping bags and even clothes are made with plastic.”可知,我们在制造大量的塑料,生活在一个充满塑料的世界;结合下文“What happens to all the rest?This is the question the film A Plastic Ocean answers.”可知,设空处应承上启下,D项“我们生活在一个充满塑料的世界,只有一小部分被回收。”符合语境,故选D项。 2.A　根据上文“The film begins as a journey to film the largest animal on the planet,the blue whale.But during the journey the filmmakers make the shocking discovery of a huge,thick layer of plastic floating in the Indian Ocean.”以及下文“In total,they visited 20 locations around the world during the four years to make the film.”可推断,在印度洋上发现的大量塑料垃圾促使他们去到更多被影响的地方,A项“这使得他们到世界各地去观察其他受影响的地区。”符合语境,选项中的This指代上文提到的“the shocking discovery of a huge,thick layer of plastic floating in the Indian Ocean”,故选A项。 3.G　根据上文“In the film there are beautiful shots of the seas and marine life.”以及下文“We see how marine species are being killed by all the plastic we are dumping in the ocean.The message about our use of plastic is painfully obvious.”可知,上文中的“美丽的镜头”与下文中的“倒进海里的垃圾”形成对比。G项“这些与倾倒的塑料垃圾形成对比。”符合语境,选项中的These指代上文提到的“beautiful shots”,故选G项。 4.E　上一段提到这部电影展现出了大量垃圾倒进海里的消极一面,结合下文“ In the second half,the filmmakers look at what we can do to deal with the problem.”可知,这部电影不仅仅展示了消极的方面,还展示了如何解决问题。E项“但这部电影不仅仅只呈现了消极的一面。”符合语境,故选E项。 5.B　根据上文“We make a shocking amount of plastic.Over 300 million tons of plastic are produced every year,and at least 8 million of those are dumped into the oceans.The results are disastrous,but it isn’t too late to change.”可知,我们制造了太多的塑料垃圾,结果将会是灾难性的,但改变为时未晚。由此推知,在看过这部电影后,我们会意识到是时候发挥自己的作用了。B项“一旦你看过这部电影,你就会意识到是时候发挥我们的作用了。”符合语境,故选B项。 八、完形填空 I was about to shave (剃须) this morning when I caught my reflection in the mirror.There was no doubt about it.My body was growing older.My formerly 　1　 hair which used to be brown with a touch of gray was now gray with a touch of brown.My forehead wrinkles (皱纹) had become 　2　,and when I smiled,a hundred more curled up (卷起) around my eyes and mouth.When I 　3　,I could see I had gotten fatter as well because while my metabolism (新陈代谢) had slowed,my 　4　 hadn’t.My muscles also 　5　 be sorer (酸痛).　6　,when I looked in the mirror again,I 　7　 a sparkle (火花) in my eyes.I smiled and felt a joy in my heart.I knew that no matter what my 　8　 looked like,my soul was forever young.
