1.A whitehaired old man riding an ordinary bicycle around the streets of New York,always wearing the same blue worker's jacket and simple black running shoes①.

镜头背后的生活
1.总是穿着与工人同样的蓝色夹克和简朴的黑色跑鞋,一位白发苍苍的老人骑着一辆普通的自行车在纽约的街道上穿行。如果你见到他,你绝不会想到他有什么了不起的地方。然而,纽约富有的上流社会的每一位成员都只想给这个人摆造型。
2.这个相貌平平的人就是比尔·坎宁安,过去50年里美国最重要的摄影师之一。
3.是什么让坎宁安如此伟大?这当然不是昂贵的、技术先进的设备的使用。坎宁安总是使用结构简单、相对便宜的相机,他所有的照片都是在纽约街头拍摄的,而不是在摄影棚里。也不是通过广泛的接触和联系。尽管他总是知道哪里有时髦人物的聚会和活动,但坎宁安同等程度地喜欢为贫穷的布朗克斯区的普通人和富裕的曼哈顿的要人拍照。他从一些简单的日常场景中找到了别人无法找到的灵感,比如一个在当地超级市场买橘子的男人,或者一个乘坐满是涂鸦的地铁回家的女人。这些东西都是真实的,正是在现实中,坎宁安看到了美和潜力。通过他对人们穿着的着迷,而不是他们是谁,他为每个人打开了时尚的大门——在他看来,时尚属于大众,而不只是属于上流社会和大品牌。

4. Moreover,what made Cunningham great was his devotion to⑰ photography,and the hours and hours of sheer hard work⑱ he put into⑲ his work. (7)Cunningham would go out onto the streets of New York each and every day,regardless of⑳ the weather.He would even stay outside in a storm,not coming back until_he_knew_he_had_the_right_photos (8).He hardly ever took a day off and not once stayed home sick.This devotion and hard work is what we see reflected within his photos (9).This is what makes them so special (10).

5. Although he was a worldfamous fashion photographer ,(11)Cunningham's approach to life was uncomplicated.He lived in a small apartment with a shared washroom.A simple restaurant was where_he_usually_had_the_same_meal_of_sausages,eggs_and_coffee (12).
(11)although引导让步状语从句。
(12)where引导表语从句。
6.Cunningham never accepted the benefits offered to him for being a fashion photographer.He valued his integrity and would not be bought by anyone, no matter how many free clothes or flights to faraway destinations he was offered (13).And if he went to a celebrity party ,(14)he was there to work rather than have fun.“Money's the cheapest thing,”he once said,then added:“...freedom is the most expensive.”This lack of selfinterest and promotion kept Cunningham focused on his craft, enabling_him_to_capture_New_York's_unique_street_style (15).

7.Cunningham's passion for photography lasted throughout his life.He was 87 when he passed away ,(16)and had been working right up until his last illness.Nothing ever stopped him from getting the photo he_wanted (17).His hard work made him more than a fashion photographer — he was a“cultural anthropologist”, who we can thank for recording the life of a whole city and its people over half a century (18).Bill Cunningham was an observer,and not one of the observed,a worker not a star — and this was how he wanted it.

4.此外,令坎宁安伟大的是他对摄影的热爱,以及他在工作中投入的长时间的十足的辛劳。不管天气如何,坎宁安每天都会走到纽约的街头。他甚至会在外面待在暴风雨中,直到他知道他拍摄了理想的照片才回去。他几乎没有请过一天假,也没有一次因生病待在家里。这种奉献和勤奋是我们看到的,都反映在他的照片中。这就是它们的特别之处。
5.虽然坎宁安是世界著名的时尚摄影师,但他的生活方式并不复杂。他住在一个共用洗手间的小公寓里。他通常在一家简朴的餐馆里吃同样的食物,有香肠、鸡蛋和咖啡。
6.作为时尚摄影师,坎宁安从未接受过别人给他的好处。他珍视自己的正直,不会被人收买,无论别人给他多少免费的衣服,或为他提供多少飞往遥远目的地的航班。如果他去参加名人派对,他是去工作而不是为了享乐。“钱是最便宜的东西,”他曾经说过,然后又补充道:“……自由是最昂贵的。”对私利及晋升的不屑让坎宁安专注于自己的拍摄技能,使他能够捕捉到纽约独特的街头流行式样。
7.坎宁安对摄影的热情贯穿了他的一生。他去世时87岁,直到得了最后一场病才停止工作。没有什么能阻止他得到他想拍摄的照片。他的辛勤工作使他不仅仅成为一名时尚摄影师——他还是一名“文化人类学家”,我们应该感谢他记录了整整一个城市和市民们半个多世纪的生活。比尔·坎宁安是一个观察者,而不是一个被观察者;是一个作者而不是一个明星——这正是他想要得到的。

Chinese Culture Shown to the World with Love
Li Ziqi, a short video blogger specializing in traditional Chinese cooking and handicrafts, has gained worldwide acclaim.
Li has about 20 million followers on Sina Weibo, China's equivalent to Twitter, plus 7 million followers on overseas social media networks. Many foreigners say they have got to know traditional Chinese food culture via her channel.
It is the spirit of craftsmanship behind her works that makes Li's video clips attractive. She strictly follows the authentic traditional steps and procedures when making traditional Chinese food and handicrafts, such as peach flower wine and silk, and goes to great lengths to ensure her videos are accurate. Sometimes she spends several months producing one of her videos.
Li has been inheriting (继承) traditional Chinese culture in a rather creative way. A closer look at her videos will show that they are never with any“analysis”that makes people feel bored. They just show audiences each and every detail of traditional Chinese culture so that the audience know how the Chinese live their beautiful and elegant lives. It is that universal appeal that makes her works so attractive. Thanks to Li's efforts, many intangible cultural heritages that only existed in memories and written records now appear before our eyes. Via her short videos, Li presents the image of a beautiful and friendly China.
With the growth of the Chinese economy, people overseas are showing more interest in traditional Chinese culture. Li has shown how to satisfy that interest in a good way, namely showing the best parts of traditional Chinese culture.
To effectively present the beauty of Chinese culture to the world, we need more Li Ziqi.

A.They promote the sales of Chinese food and handicrafts.
B.They attract a large number of foreigners to her online shop.
C. They aim to introduce traditional Chinese food culture and handicrafts worldwide.
D.They are based on her family's recipes for making traditional Chinese food.
2.What could be inferred from Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4?
A.Analysis of Chinese culture in Li's videos makes people bored.
B.Details and accuracy play significant roles in the success of Li's videos.
C.Li makes sure all of her video clips are short enough to be downloaded.
D.Cultural heritages usually exist in memories and written records.
3.What does the underlined word“intangible”in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Nonphysical. B.Inaccessible.
C.Valueless. D.Unnoticeable.
4.What is the author's purpose of writing the passage?
A.To provide guidance on cooking and making handicrafts.
B.To suggest a way of attracting more followers on Sina Weibo.

Walking home from work with a family friend,I found myself in a discussion about her daughter's going to college.
It started with the mother telling me that she had no money to help her daughter go through college,which led the mother to push the community college fiercely.She then started to say how she had been pushing“highpaying”fields on her daughter-doctor,engineer,lawyer,etc.When I asked her if that was what her daughter had interest in,she said no.I asked her what the point was to push her daughter into something that she didn't like,and she responded with,“I just want her to make a good fortune.”
After hearing her words,I would like to state that money is not everything.A highpaying job means nothing if you are miserable.I used to do a high paying job,but it was very tiring and I had no time of my own.I didn't like it at all.Though the pay was good,I was not happy.
So I'd like to tell parents,please do not force your children into a major or a career just because you think they are going to make a lot of money.They would feel terrible for taking that major or job just to comfort you.The worst part is the feeling of guilty when they decide to change that major to something they actually want or when they quit that job.
Being a member of a generation who are willing to give absolutely everything to our kids,we know we just hope our children could live happy lives.Please do not force a career path on our children just because we think it is good for them.Give our children advice,but don't force them.
[语篇解读] 本文是对父母的忠告:不要为了让孩子将来多赚钱而逼迫他们学习自己不喜欢的专业或从事他们不喜欢的工作。
5.What do we know about that mother?
A.She thought highly of the community college.
B.She got along very well with her daughter.
C.She couldn't afford her daughter's college fees.
D.She wanted to be a doctor when she was young.
解析:C [细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知,那位妈妈没有足够的钱来供女儿上大学。故选C。]
6.The mother chose the fields for her daughter mainly because ________ .
A.her daughter really liked those fields
B.she thought those fields were interesting
C.those fields wouldn't cost much at college
D.she considered them to be high paying fields
解析:D [细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知,这位妈妈之所以让她的女儿学那些专业,是因为那些专业的学生将来挣钱多。]
7.Why did the writer mention her story in Paragraph 3?
A.To prove that high paying jobs mean nothing.
B.To show that not all high paying jobs are satisfying.
C.To prove that high paying jobs make people miserable.
D.To show that low paying jobs are better than high paying jobs.
解析:B [推理判断题。根据上下文可知,作者通过那位妈妈的故事来引出话题,再用自己的故事表明并不是所有的高薪工作都是令人满意的。故选B。]
8.From the text,we can infer that the writer would most probably advise parents to ________ .
A.choose the best major or career for their children
B.avoid giving their children advice on their major or career
C.let their children make the final decision on their major or career

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Mary went through a personal experience 40 years ago that changed her life path and established her connection with Chinese herbal medicine.
Still childless after 13 years of marriage, Mary longed to become a mother. For years she travelled from country to country and visited top experts in the field, but without success. __1__ Nonetheless, her grandmother, a Chinese herbalist, gave her hope through a herbal treatment.
After three and a half years she became pregnant. __2__ The expectant mother's delight was shared by the rest of her family too. This was the point when she made up her mind to carry on her grandmother's work and devote her life to herbal medicine research, development and promotion. To this end, she invested in a large herbal garden in the suburb of Jakarta, where more than 30,000 plants are grown. __3___
Through the application of great effort and resources over many years, Mary's career has developed well. __4__ When she was asked whether it was worthwhile to have devoted much of her life to this research, she firmly responded,“What I have done is to fulfill a promise I once made. More importantly, I want to bring Chinese herbal medicine to all those in need. __5__ ”
A.More than 7,000 of these can be used as medicine.

C.I believe it can help relieve pain and enable the sick to regain their hope of life.
D.Mary decided to make great contributions to the development of Chinese herbal medicine.

F.I'm so happy that the local people like to use Chinese herbal medicine for treatment.
G.The heartbreak and disappointment were so great that she came close to giving up.
[语篇解读] 本文是记叙文, 主要讲述了玛丽与中草药结下不解之缘, 并献身于中草药研究的励志故事。
1.G [根据上文中的“Still childless after 13 years of marriage, Mary longed to become a mother. For years she travelled from country to country and visited top experts in the field, but without success.”可推知,多年来求子无果的经历让玛丽很是伤心和失望,所以G项符合语境。G项承接上文且与空后一句形成转折。]
2.B [根据下文中的“The expectant mother's delight was shared by the rest of her family too.”可知,通过中草药疗法,多年不孕的玛丽终于怀孕了,梦想达成,自然是喜出望外,所以选B。]
3.A [根据上文中的“devote her life to herbal medicine research”及“To this end, she invested in a large herbal garden in the suburb of Jakarta, where more than 30,000 plants are grown.”可推知,玛丽决定致力于中草药研究工作,在她投资的药园里有许多植物,这些植物很多可以用作药物,所以A项符合语境。]
4.E [根据下文中的“When she was asked whether it was worthwhile to have devoted much of her life to this research, she firmly responded”可推知,玛丽后来多年一直致力于中草药的研究工作,所以选E。]
5.C [根据上文中的“More importantly, I want to bring Chinese herbal medicine to all those in need.”并结合玛丽自身的经历可知,玛丽认为中草药能帮助有需要的人,所以C项符合语境。]
