B 在第二段第三行，作者提到贝尔特曾经为英格兰湖区的美景拍过照片，那她自 然就去过英格兰。因此，这一题题干的表述（贝尔特从没去过英格兰）明显是错误 的。 2. A 第一段第三行说到南极洲是贝尔特唯一没亲眼见过的大洲，那么她必

12、然没去 过南极洲。 所以这一题题干的表述（贝尔特从没去过南极洲）是正确的。 3. C 第一段第一行提到贝尔特从 1978 年就开始为国家地理杂志工作，但是并 无其他信息，所以我们无从得知在 1978 年之前，贝尔特是否还为其他杂志工作过。 所以我们既没法说贝尔特只为国家地理一家杂志工作过，也没法说贝尔特在很 多家杂志工作过。因而,我们无法在文中找到这一题题干所表述的信息（贝尔特在很 多家杂志工作过），答案只能是C 。 4. A 在第二段第二行，作者提到贝尔特曾经在约旦的古城佩特拉进行过拍摄，这 迎合题干的表述(佩特拉是一座古老的约旦城市）。所以答案为A 。 5. B 在第三段第一行第二句话，作

13、者提到：在语言不通的情况下，贝尔特找到了和 不同年龄、不同民族的人沟通的方法。而题干中的表述(贝亦特只能和会说英语的人 沟通)和文中的信息完全不符，所以答案为B 。 6. A 在第四段第七行，作者提到：一起体验坏天气可以帮助人们增进相互间的交 流。这和题干的表述(人们在坏天气下可以相互沟通)基本一致，所以答案为A 。 7. A 第五段第一行提到贝尔特为希望从事摄影行业的人提供了一些建议：当个志 愿者为没钱请专业摄影师的地方机构拍摄照片。这和题干的表述（做一名志愿者是 开始摄影生涯的一种方式)基本吻合，所以答案为A 。 参考译文： 第一篇 镜头中的世界 让我们来认识摄影师艾妮格里菲斯贝尔特。贝尔

14、特从1978 年以来就一直在为国 家地理杂志拍摄照片，她的拍摄足迹几乎遍布世界上的所有大洲。事实上，南极 洲是贝尔特唯一没亲眼见过的大洲。 贝尔特的拍摄作品因美轮美奂和质量上乘而广为人知，它们也反映了世界上不同的 文化和地区。贝尔特曾经为约旦古城佩特拉和英格兰湖区的美景拍过照片。最近， 在一本介绍北美未开发的自然区域的书中出现了她的摄影作品。 无论去哪里，贝尔特都在所到之处拍下人物照片。贝尔特已经找到在语言不通的情 况下和不同年龄、不同民族的人进行沟通的方法。“我的工作的最大优势就是可以走 2012-12-31 第 2 页，共 15 页 - Page 3- 进人们的生活，”她说，“照相机就像通

15、行证一样，而且我常常由于人们迅速地接纳 我而被搞得手足无措!” 知道如何打开话题帮助贝尔特成为了一名成功的摄影师，但是专家们声称任何人都 能学会如何同陌生人打交道。当语言相通时，打招呼和相互寒暄能使陌生人之间感 到更舒适。当语言不通时，微笑就会变得很有用。彼此的共同点也有助于打开话题。 比如，贝尔特常和她的两个孩子一起旅行，所以当她为孩子们或孩子们的父母拍照 时，他们就有了相同之处：家庭联系。甚至一起体验坏天气也可以帮助人们增进相 互间的交流。 如果你正在考虑从事摄影行业，贝尔特对此有一些建议。你可以当个志愿者为没钱 请专业摄影师的地方机构拍摄照片。你也可以用诚实的态度仔细端详自己最好的摄 影

16、作品。如果你是一位真正的摄影师，你的作品会因为你的个人特色和精湛的技艺 而变得出类拔萃。贝尔特也推荐向专业摄影师的作品学习。 记住，当你下一次看到漂亮的照片时，也许你看的正是艾妮格里菲斯贝尔特的作品。 当你下一次遇见陌生人时，不要害怕打开话题。你为沟通所做的一切都是非常值得 的。 2012-12-31 第 3 页，共 15 页 - Page 4- 阅读判断 第十二篇 Starting a New Tradition Shantelle Davis is a nine-year-old girl in New York.

27、veryone thinks Kwanzaa is an important holiday. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 答案与题解： 1. A 在第三段第二行我们可以发现：超过 500 万的非洲裔美国人每年从 12 月26 日到1 月 1 日庆祝宽扎节。所以题干的表述(人们在年底庆祝宽扎节)是正确的,答案 为A 。 2. A 从第四段前四行所述的内容中我们可以发现：为了向自己的文化和传统致 敬,1966 年美国人马拉那卡林加为非洲裔美国人创立了宽扎节。因此，题干的表述(宽 扎节是为非洲裔 美国人创立的节日）是正确的，答案为A 。 3. B 在第二题

28、中我们知道宽扎节创立于 1966 年，并且文中第六段第三行也提到： 一些人认为宽扎节的历史并不久远。所以，从以上两点我们可以得出结论：题干的 表述（宽扎节的历史非常悠久)是错误的,答案为B 。 4. C 从整篇文章中我们知道宽扎节最初是为非洲裔美国人创立的，之后宽扎节的传 统又流传到诸如加拿大、牙买加等其他国家(这一信息可以从第四段最后一行得到）。 但是文中并未提及非洲人民是否也庆祝宽扎节，因此这一题的题干信息（非洲人民 庆祝宽扎节）并没在文中给出答案为C 。 5. A 在段最后两行中，作者提到：这段时间里非洲裔美国人和家人待在一起緬怀 历史和非洲的祖先。所以题干中的表述 ( 宽扎节期间人民花

29、很多时间和家人待在一 起）是正确的，答案为A 。 6. A 在第五段最后两行中，作者提到：在宽扎节的最后一夜会有一顿非洲风味的 大餐,并且孩子们会收到小礼物。所以，题干的表述(孩子们在宽扎节即将结束时收到 礼物)是正确的，答案为A 。 7. B 在第六段第二行末尾，作者提到：由于宽扎节的历史并不久远，一些人认为它 并不是一个真正的节日。从这里我们可以看出题干的表述(每个人都认为宽扎节是一 个重要的节日）不正确，故答案为B 。 参考译文 第十二篇 开始新的传统 珊特尔戴维斯是一位九岁的纽约小女孩。12 月的一个寒夜，珊特尔戴维斯的家人 都围站在餐桌边看着她点亮一支蜡烛。水果蔬菜篮子和玉米穗装饰着

30、这个餐桌，这 些都是给珊特尔和她的两个兄弟的。 “这支蜡烛代表umoja ，在非洲这个词意味着在一起，”珊特尔说，“这是家庭中最重 要的事。” 2012-12-31 第 5 页，共 15 页 - Page 6- 今晚是宽扎节的第一个晚上，珊特尔正和她的家人待在一起。超过 500 万的非洲裔 美国人每年从 12 月26 日到1 月1 日庆祝宽扎节。这段时间里他们和家人聚在一起 缅怀他们的历史和非洲的祖先。 宽扎节非常独特，因为它是由一个人创立的。在 1966 年，一个名叫马拉那卡林加 的美 国人想要为非洲裔美国人创立一个节日来向他们的文化和传统致敬。因此他利 用非洲的语言和习俗来创造一个新的传统。他将节日命名为宽扎节，这个词来源于 非洲语言斯瓦西里语；在斯瓦西里语中，宽扎节的意思是“最初的果实。” 一开始， 只有少数一些美国家庭在家进行小规模庆祝。现如今学校和
