Taking Pictures of the World
Meet Annie Griffiths Belt, a National Geographic photographer. Belt has worked for National Geographic since 1978,and has taken pictures on almost every continent in the world. In fact, Antarctica is the only continent Belt hasn't seen yet.
Belt's photographs are well known for their beauty and high quality. They also reflect very different cultures and regions of the world. Belt has photographed the ancient city of Petra, Jordan, as well as the green landscapes of the Lake District in England. Recently,her pictures appeared in a book about undeveloped natural places in North America.
Everywhere that Belt goes, she takes pictures of people. Belt has found ways to connect with people of all ages and nationalities even when she does not speak their language. “The greatest privilege of my job is being allowed into peopled lives,” she has said. “The camera is like a passport, and I am often overwhelmed by1 how quickly people welcome me!”
Knowing how to break the ice has helped to make Belt a successful photographer, but experts say that anyone can learn to connect with new people. When people speak the same language, greetings and small talk can make strangers feel more comfortable with each other. When people don't speak the same language, a smile is very helpful. Having something in common can also help break the ice. For example, Belt has traveled with her two children, so when she takes pictures of children or their parents,they all have that family connection in common. Even bad weather can help people to connect when they are experiencing it together.
Belt has some advice if you are thinking about a career in photography. You can volunteer to take pictures for a local organization that can't afford to hire a professional photographer. You can also take a good, honest look at your best photographs. If you're a real photographer, your photos are good because of your personal and technical skills. Belt also recommends studying and learning from photos taken by professional photographers.
Remember, the next time you look at a beautiful photograph, you might be looking at the work of Annie Griffiths Belt. And the next time you meet a new person, don't be afraid to break the ice. The connection you make could be very rewarding.

第3部分:概括大意与完成句子(第23~30题,每题l分,共8分)
下面的短文后有2项测试任务:(1)第23-26题要求从所给的6个选项中为第2~5段每段选择1个最佳标题;(2)第27-30题要求从所给的6个选项中为每个句子确定1个最佳选项。
US Signs Global Tobacco Treaty
1 The United States has taken the first step toward approving a global tobacco treaty that promises to help control the deadly effects of tobacco use throughout the world. Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson signed the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) this week at the United Nations. The Senate must still approve the treaty before the US can implement its provisions.
2 The FCTC was developed by the World Health Organization and approved by members of the World Health Assembly,including the United States,last year. Countries that ratify it would be required to enact strict tobacco control policies.
3 For instance, cigarettes sold in those countries would have to have health warnings on at least 30% of the front and back of every pack. The treaty calls for higher tobacco taxes, restrictions on smoking in public places, and more promotion of tobacco prevention and cessation programs. It also requires bans on tobacco advertising, though there are some exceptions for countries like the United States, where the Constitution prohibits such an outright ban.
4 The impact of the treaty could be huge. The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco use kills nearly 5 million people worldwide every year. In the US alone, about 440,000 people die each year from tobacco-related illnesses; about one-third of all cancers in the US are caused by tobacco use. If current trends continue, WHO estimates, by 2025 tobacco will kill 10 million people each year.
5 The treaty must be ratified by at least 40 countries before it can take effect. So far,109 countries have signed it, and 12 have ratified it.

A. What the FCTC Demands
B US Signing of the FCTC
C Opposition to the FCTC

29 It is hoped that the FCTC will greatly help to reduce deaths__________.
30 Much more countries have signed the FCTC than those that__________.

第4部分:阅读理解(第31~45题,每题3分,共45分)
下面有3篇短文,每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容,为每题确定1个最佳选项。
第一篇
Shark Attack!
Craig Rogers was sitting on his surfboard, scanning the distance for his next wave,when his board suddenly stopped moving. He looked down and was terrified to see a great white shark biting the front of his board. “I could have touched its eye with my elbow,” says Craig. The shark had surfaced so quietly that he hadn't heard a thing.
In his horror and confusion,he waved his arms and accidentally cut two of his fingers on the shark's teeth. He then slid off the opposite side of his surfboard into the water. Then, with Craig in the water and blood flowing from his fingers,the five-meter-long shark simply swam away, disappearing into the water below.
Although sharks are often categorized as killers that hunt and eat as many humans as they can, this is factually inaccurate. Sharks very rarely kill humans. A person has a greater chance of being struck by lightning or drowning in a bath than of being killed by a shark. Only 74 people have been reported killed by great whites in the last century. But great white sharks can reach six meters in length and weigh 2,200 kilograms or more. With frightening jaws that can hold up to 3,000 teeth arranged in several rows,they could very easily kill and eat a helpless human in the water. Why is it, then, that most people survive attacks by great whites? Shark researchers are trying to comprehend the reasons that allow people to escape without being eaten.
The most common explanation is that great whites don't see well. It has been thought that they mistake people for the seals or sea lions which make up a large part of their diet. There is reason to doubt this,however. Recent information shows that great whites can actually see very well. Also, when attacking seals, great whites shoot up to the surface and bite with great force. When approaching humans, however, they most often move in slowly and bite less hard. They soon discover that humans are not a high — fat meal. “They spit us out because we're too bony,” says Aidan Martin,director of Reef Quest Center for Shark Research.
Shark researchers like Martin hypothesize that great whites are actually curious animals that like to investigate things. It's possible that they use their bite not only to kill and eat, but also to gather information. Although such an experience is unlucky for people like Craig Rogers, when sharks bite surfboards or other objects or people,they are likely just trying to learn what they are.
31 After Craig Rogers fell into the water, the shark_________.
A) bit his surfboard
B) bit his fingers
C) swam away
D) attacked him
32. It is difficult for the author to understand why great whites_________.
A) often let humans escape
B) kill humans
C) have so many teeth
D) grow to six meters or more
33. Which of the following is closest in meaning to make up in line 2 of paragraph 4?
A) create.
B) are.
C) increase.
D) depend upon.
34. The word their in line 2 of paragraph 4 means_________.
A) people's
B) great whites'
C) sea lions'
D) seals'
35. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?
A) Great whites eat low-fat, bony meals more slowly.
B) Great whites see well enough to include seals, sea lions, and humans in their diet.
C) We now know great whites don't mistake humans for other animals.
D) There is reason to doubt that great whites see well enough to attack humans.

A New Immigration Bill
The US Senate is considering a new immigration bill. It will value the economic promise of immigrants over family ties when considering US residency and citizenship. The legislation, which was proposed by President Bush and a group of senators, contains a point system. The proposal aims to increase the number of immigrants with graduate degrees, earnings or job skills.
The proposed point system would use a l00-point scale. According to a draft of the law, merit applicants could earn up to 47 points for things like occupation, or year of work for a US firm. They could earn up to 28 points for their education, 15 points for English and US civics(公民学), and l0 points for family ties. The system has stirred up debate. Critics on the left say it opposes family unity and American values. Critics on the right complain that it does not reflect the needs of high-tech employers.
The current kinship(血缘关系)-based system puts pressure on the US, as it attracts low-skill workers who consume more public services than they pay back in taxes. It allows a variety of uneducated people in from Mexico and Central America.
The immigration bill would allow eight years to clear the current backlog(积压)of application for a permanent resident card, or green card. After that, only the children and spouses(配偶)of legal immigrants would be able to apply for family visas. Adult children, siblings(兄弟姐妹), parents, and other relatives would have to apply in the general queue (排队). Under the proposal, immigrants from Asian, countries would likely fare well(很有利). For instance, over half of recent immigrants from China and India have a bachelor's(学士的)or higher degree. Immigrants from Latin American countries would likely face more difficulties.
Immigration point systems have been in use in Canada, Australia and New Zealand for years. The UK adopted a similar approach in 2001. One thing that Canada and other nations have discovered is that their system needs to fit the needs of their economy. Too often they find that they attract highly-educated people who end up finding work that doesn’t use their skills. Some end up driving a taxi.
36 One of the reasons for proposing the point system is
A to give priority to immigrants from China.
B to protect the US from terrorist attacks.
C to attract skilled immigrants.
D to increase population.
37 What do critics on the right say about the proposed point system?
A It opposes family unity.
B It is very difficult to apply.
C It opposes American values.
D It does not meet the needs of high—tech employers.
38 Which statement is NOT true of the current system?
A It is kinship-based.
B It puts pressure on the US.
C It draws low-skilled workers.
D It attracts highly-educated people.
39 Who can apply for family visas in future?
A The uncles and aunts of legal immigrants.
B The brothers and sisters of legal immigrants.
C The spouses and young children of legal immigrants.
D The parents and grandparents of legal immigrants.
40 Which country adopted the point system in 2001 ?
A The UK.
B The US.
C Canada.
D Australia

The Travels of Ibn Battuta
“I left Tangier, my birthplace, the 13th of June 1325 with the intention of making the pilgrimage [ to Mecca]... to leave all my friends both female and male, to abandon my home as birds abandon their nests. ” So begins an old manuscript in a library in Paris—the travel journal of Ibn Battuta.
Almost two centuries before Columbus, this young Moroccan set off for Mecca, returning home three decades later as one of history’s great travelers. Driven by curiosity, he journeyed to remote comers of the Islamic world, traveling through 44 modem countries, three times as far as Marco Polo. Little celebrated in the West2, his name is well known among Arabs. In his hometown of Tangier, a square, a hotel, a cafe, a ferry boat, and even a hamburger are named after him.
Ibn Battuta stayed in Mecca as a student for several years, but the urge to travel soon took over. In one adventure, he traveled to India seeking profitable employment with the Sultan of Delhi.3 On the way, he described his group being attacked in the open country by 80 men on foot, and two horsemen: “we fought ... killing one of their horsemen and about twelve of the foot soldiers ….I was hit by an arrow and my horse by another, but God in his grace preserved me .... We carried the heads of the slain to the castle of Abu Bak, har ... and suspended them from the wall. ” In Delhi, the sultan gave him the position of judge, based on his prior study at Mecca. But the sultan had an unpredictable character, and Ibn Battuta looked for an opportunity to leave. When the sultan offered to finance a trip to China, he agreed. Ibn Battuta set off in three ships, but misfortune struck while he was still on the shore. A sudden storm grounded and broke up two ships, scattering treasure and drowning many people and horses. As he watched, the third ship, with all his belongings and slaves一one carrying his child—was carried out to sea and never heard from again.
After a lifetime of incredible adventures, Ibn Battuta was finally ordered by the Sultan of Morocco to return home to share his wisdom with the world. Fortunately, he consented and wrote a book that has been translated into numerous languages, allowing people everywhere to read about his unparalleled journeys.
41. What is the passage mainly about?
A) Visitors to Mecca.
B) The adventures of Ibn Battuta.
C) Ibn Battuta’s character.
D) Asian countries of the 14th century.
42. Which of the following is closest in meaning to set off for in line 5?
A) left to go to.
B) discussed.
C) arrived at.
D) decided upon.
43. The Sultan of Delhi gave Ibn Battuta a position of judge because • .
A) the sultan needed a translator.
B) Ibn Battuta had been a judge before.
C) Ibn Battuta had studied in Mecca.
D) Ibn Battuta had traveled to many countries.
44. Which of the following would the writer of this passage most likely agree with?
A) Ibn Battuta’s journeys were very common for people of that time.
B) Ibn Battuta’s stories are probably not true.
C) Ibn Battuta’s journey was less important than Marco Polo’s.
D) Ibn Battuta should be better known in the West today.
45. Why did Ibn Battuta finally return to his home?
A) He was tired of traveling.
B) He didn’t have any more money.
C) He feared the Sultan of Delhi.
D) The Sultan of Morocco asked him to return.

Bomb Explosions in Thailand
The new year celebration in Thailand was shattered by violence, when nine bombs exploded across Bangkok around midnight. Three Thai citizens were killed and more than 30 injured.
Among the injured, six were foreigners. No Chinese casualties were reposed, the Chinese Embassy in Bangkok, the capital, said on Monday. (46)But other embassies have advised their citizens to avoid traveling to Bangkok. “There is a possibility of further attacks in coming days, ” said a travel advisory(公告)from Australia. “Australians are urged to avoid unnecessary travel in Bangkok.”
No terrorist group claimed responsibility for the bombings by Tuesday . (47)Bombings and shootings occur almost daily in Thailand's three southernmost provinces. Yala, Naarathiwat and Pattani have a dominant Muslim population and have long complained of neglect(忽视)and discrimination(歧视)in the largely Buddhist(佛教徒的)nation. They have asked for independence and a separate Islamic(伊斯兰的)state. Since 2004, the insurgents(叛乱者)have carried out numerous attacks in the south and more than l,900 people have been killed. (48)
But Thai Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont said on Monday that domestic politics rather than the Muslim insurgency was behind the bombings. “It is likely related to people who lost their political benefits,” Surayud said, referring to Thaksin Shinawatra.
(49)Surayud was later appointed interim(临时的)prime minister. Thaksin, however,still enjoys widespread support, especially in the countryside.
(50)Thaksin's lawyer, Noppadol Patama, denied his client’s involvement in the bombings, according to a local website.
A Some believe the explosions were the work of Muslim separatists.
B Some believe that several senior army officers loyal to Thaksin plotted the bombings with ousted(赶下台)politicians to discredit(败坏名声)the government.
C Thaksin was ousted in a military coup(政变)last September.
D The Thai Government has been unable to control the violence, though thousands of troops have been sent to the south.
E The embassy issued no travel warnings.
F Nobody is to blame.

UFOS
Sixty years ago, a man named Kenneth Arnold saw something that we can still (51)today-something that changed popular culture for ever.
Flying his plane over mountains in the US state of Washington, he saw a line of strange objects, either crescent-shaped(月牙形的)or disc-like, flying (52) the motion of a saucer(碟)skimming(飞速掠过)on water.
The media soon picked up on the story - the Flying Saucers were here! Was the earth being (53)by creatures from another planet? Soon, So many sightings were made that the US military began to (54). 1t called these strange Objects UFOs - Unidentified Flying Objects, and that is how they are (55)today.
Military investigations found no evidence of visitors from outer space. But that did not stop the true (56). The military were (57)up, they said. Or maybe it was because the travelers from space were of such superior intelligence (58)they could hide from military analysts(分析家).
People have always seen strange lights in the sky. In the past these were explained in (59)ways. In a world where religion was less influential and science fiction was popular, signs from God were replaced by visitors from other (60).
The date of the first UFO sightings was also significant. In l947, World War II had just ended and the (61)War was just beginning. Humanity seemed locked in endless conflicts. Like generations before them, people looked (62)the skies for help. But instead of seeking God, they looked for help from super-intelligent aliens(外星人)with (63)technology. Belief in UFOs became the first religion of science.
However, even people who believe in UFOs are not quite sure why they visit the earth. The universe is a big place and it is (64)to assume that there is life somewhere out there. It is possible that aliens have worked out how to travel through space. Yet some people report that they have been taken by aliens and have had experiments (65)on them. Why would anyone travel across half the universe to conduct medical experiments on people living in small towns in the United States?
