12、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。而魍千中的表
13、述(贝尔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。【翻译】镜头中的世界手机版、网页版、单机版 三位一体多平台学习模式让我们来认识摄影师艾妮?格里菲斯?贝尔特。贝尔特从 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
14、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进人们的生活,”她说,“照相机就像通行证一样,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
15、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
16、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。第二篇“Own“ Your Childrens Education “Helping them isnt about showing your kids how to do the work.Its about being genuinely interested and having regular conversations about what theyre learning,says J.Gary Knowles,a professor at the Ontario Insti

27、孩子做家庭作业,文章中并没有提及。2.B 文章的第二段提到了父母应该阅读孩子的教科书,但这样做的目的是为了给他们解决问手机版、网页版、单机版 三位一体多平台学习模式题,而不是为了教他们。3.C 文中虽然提及了朗读的问题,但朗读的时间是在睡前半小时;在放学的路上学生是否应该朗读,文中未提及。4.A 文章第四段第二行说“父母的参与是孩子在学校的学习得以成功的重要因素之一。由此可以推知,这个句子的内容是正确的。5.A 文章结尾处说:你能够给你孩子上的最重要的一课是让你的孩子知道你在乎他们。所以,这个句子中的提法是正确的。6.C 该句说的是:父母必须经常听课。文章中并没有提到父母必须经常听课。7.C
28、该句说的是:政府的支持对孩子在学业上取得成功也起作用。文章提到了父母和教师的支持,但没有提到政府的支持。译文:“拥有”孩子的教育 多伦多大学安大略教育学院的教授 J.Gary Knowles 说:“帮助孩子不是告诉孩子怎样做。你要 对他们所学的东西真正感兴趣,并和他们经常进行对话。”怎样才能更多地参与,Rozcm 给了许多建议。“与老师相识,并讨论怎样量体裁衣地布置一些 适合你孩子学习风格的作业。花些时间在教室里。索要每个单元的提纲,这样的话,你可以在图 书馆或者电视里找到补充材料。阅读孩子的教科书:如果你能提前读几页,你就能帮他们解决遇 到的问题了。”Rozcm 认为朗读是另外一件必须做的事

A novel can be on the “best seller“2 list with a sale of fewer than 100 ,0
31、00 copies3, but a popular TV show might have 70 million TV viewers4. TV can make anything or anyone well-known overnight5.This is the principle behind“quiz“ or“game“ shows, which put ordinary people on TV to play a game for prizes and money6. A quiz show can make anyone a star, and it can give away7
32、 thousands of dollars just for fun8. But all of this money can create problems. For instance, in the 1950s, quiz shows were very popular in the US and almost everyone watched them. Charles Van Doren, an English instructor, became rich and famous9 after winning money on several shows. He even had a c

The result of this cheating was a huge scandal12.Based on his story, a movie under the title“Quiz Show“is on13 40 years later.Charles Van Doren is no longer involved with TV14. But game shows are still here, though they arent taken as seriously. I
35、n fact, some of them try to be as ridiculous as possible. There are shows that send strangers on vacation trips together, or that try to cause newly 一 married couples to fight on TV,or that punish losers by humiliating them.

43、电视智力比赛”背后运作的原理,指的是第一段最后一句话所讲的“电视可以使任何事物或任何人一夜成名”。而不是所谓“让普通人上电视参加有奖比赛”。This 一词作为一种衔接手段,常用来指上文刚刚提到的内容。,3. C 文中只提到“电视智力竞赛,的获胜者会得到价值不等的奖品和奖金,并未提到其来源。4. B 文中第三段提到为了吸引观众,节目制片人主动把答案事先告诉了 Charles Van Doren。5. B Charles Van Doren 在“电视智力竞赛”中作弊的丑闻早在 20 世纪 50 年代就被当时比赛中的一位失败者揭发出来,“智力竞赛”这部电影只是在 40 年后从中汲取了素材。6. A
44、第三段中讲“电视智力竞赛”仍旧在电视上放映,只是人们对它的态度不再像从前那样认真。7. B 文章结尾处说今天“电视智力竞赛”的获奖者们获得的真正的奖励是在数百万的观众面前亮相,但他们仍旧能得到一些钱。译文:手机版、网页版、单机版 三位一体多平台学习模式翻译:电视“智力竞赛”表演电视最迷人的方面之一就是其观众的人数多、规模大。一本小说即使“最畅销”,其发行量 也不到 10 万册。但一部受人欢迎的电视剧可以有 7 000 万的观众。电视可以使任何事物或任何人一夜成名。这就存在于电视“智力竞赛”表演背后的原理,这些表演促使普通老百姓为了奖品和奖金 走上电视玩游戏。智力测验能够使任何一个人成为明星,它
45、也能使你为了好玩花掉许多钱。但这 些钱带来了许多社会问题。例如,20 世纪 50 年代“智力竞赛”在美国就非常流行,几乎所有人 都观看这种节目。查尔斯?范?多林是一位英语教师,在赢得了几场比赛后,变得非常富有,甚 至成了电视明星。但有一位失败者证明多林是在骗人。原来,在幕后操纵的节目制片人已提前将 问题的答案告诉了那些最受(观众)欢迎的参赛者。为什么呢?因为如果观众讨厌_奖的人,那 他们就会关掉电视。这一骗局产生了一个巨大的丑闻。40 年后,人们根据这个敌事拍了一部名叫 “智力竞赛”的电影。多林不再参与电视节目 T,但智力竞赛仍在进行,尽管人们已不再像以前那样严肃对待它了。事实上,有些智力竞赛
46、是尽可能做得荒谬。有些节目送一些陌生人一起去旅游,或让那些新婚夫 妇在电视上打架,或者用羞辱来惩罚那些失败者。现在的娱乐是看们怎样做才能上电视。人们 仍在贏钱,但真正的奖励是熊在数百万的观众面前亮相。第四篇:SmokingSince 1939, numerous studies have been conducted to determine whether smoking is a health hazard. The trend of the evidence has been consistent and indicates that there is a serious health

Female smokers are thought to be less affected because they do not breathe in the smoke so deeply.Apart from statistics, it might be helpful to look at what smoking tobacco does to the human body. Smoke is a mixture of gases, vaporized chemicals, minute particles of ash and other solids. There is also nicotine, which is powerful poison, and black ta
