3、a. Pluto,which famously was downgraded from a “major planet” to a“dwarf planet”(矮行星)in 2006,captured our imagination because it was a mystery that could complete our picture of what it was like at the most remote corners of our solar system.

13、B (21世紀(jì)報(bào)第28期) When I was 14,life felt dull and boring. However,I didn’t mind looking at the same views every day.And even though the high school I go to has over a thousand students,I didn’t really care to notice the differences between us all. But this dull view of mine shifted when my parents

14、bought me a camera for Christmas. Even though I didn’t know the first thing about photography,I dived headfirst into the medium. It was after a month of playing with my new camera when I realized I had no talent for taking pictures. Even though I got friends to pose in front of abandoned building

15、s and in flowery fields,nothing seemed to work. My photos were clearly missing something of importance and lacked originality (創(chuàng)意). After a while,I became so enraged(暴怒的) with my lack of artistic talent that I quit my new hobby. Then,a month or two later,I suddenly decided to pick it up again.

16、During the summer break,I went for a walk on the railroad track behind my house. The area is abandoned and the tracks are a warm red color;it’s a gorgeous(燦爛的) sight to see. Before the walk,I thought,“Maybe I should bring my camera”,which at the time,hadn’t been touched for weeks. Surprisingly,th

17、is walk on the tracks was what began my love for photography.

I didn’t worry about trying to create something beautiful.Instead,I just ca

18、ptured photos of the beauty already around me. I quickly became obsessed with texture,color,lighting,shape,shading and everything in between. Later—after months of studying outdoor scenes,watching shadows and staring at people’s eyes—I was finally able to create beauty of my own. Slowly,my photos

19、 became something I was proud of. So far,my work has been published in two small magazines and featured in two different art galleries. They’re not huge achievements,but they’re important to me.And they’re signs of how much my artistic abilities have grown:I went from zero artistic talent to being

20、 published. Thanks to this Christmas gift from my parents,I now have a new way of looking at the world. 5.It can be inferred from the first four paragraphs that the author 　　　.? A.was unsatisfied with his life in high school B.didn’t get on well with his classmates at school C.had been expecti

24、是一篇記敘文,記敘了作者用相機(jī)發(fā)現(xiàn)生活中的美。 答案及剖析: 5.D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一句“When I was 14,life felt dull.”可知,作者在學(xué)校的生活很無(wú)聊。根據(jù)第三段第一句可知,父母送給作者的相機(jī)改變了這種生活。故選D。 6.C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第七段中的“My photos were clearly missing something of importance...”可知,作者對(duì)自己的相片不滿意。 7.A　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第八段中的“I realized how important it was to look at the details of

25、 things.”可知,美就在我們的身邊,故選A。 8.D　主旨大意題?？偨Y(jié)全文可知,相機(jī)使作者用一種新的方式去看待這個(gè)世界。 Ⅱ.語(yǔ)法填空(2018貴州遵義第四中學(xué)月考) Leonardo da Vinci was an artist,scientist,and 1.　　　　(invent) during the Renaissance in Italy.The word “renaissance” 2.　　　　(come) from Latin and means “to be born again”.The renaissance was a time 3.　　　　 Europe
