I justified invading moments of grief, under the guise(借口) of the reader's right to know. I didn’t ask photographers to trespass(冒犯) or to stalk(跟踪),but I didn’t have to: I worked with pros(同行) who did what others did: talking their way into situations or shooting from behind police lines to get pictures I was after. And I wasn’t alone.In the aftermath of a car crash or some other hideous incident when ordinary people are hurt or killed, you rarely see photographers pushing past rescue workers to capture the blood and gore(血雨腥风). But you are likely to see the local newspaper and television photographers on the scene - and fast.How can we justify our behavior? Journalists are taught to separate doing the job from worrying about the consequence of publishing what they record.

正确答案 :
解析:译文:作者16年前是摄影师。本题考察的是文中的细节,按照顺序来讲,属于段落比较靠前的位置,通过定位16years这个不能被同义替换(paraphrase)的时间状语,我们可以在第二自然段第一行找到,原文为“But after 16 years in that role. I came to wonder whether the two worlds were easily distinguishable.(但是充当了16年这样一个角色之后,我开始感到疑惑,是否这两个世界真的是那样泾渭分明。)“该题的难点在于没有能够通过直接定位关键词找到答案,但是结合文中第一段第三行的” when I was a photo editor at U.S. News.(当我还是美国新闻的图片编辑时。)“可以得知,作者说的“in that role”所指就是他的职业,即图片编辑,由此可以判断,他当了16年的图片编辑。因此题干给出的信息是错误。考点细节信息查找

正确答案 :
解析:译文:作者认为拍摄人们噩梦般的经历是合理的。按照行文的顺序,文中对应的信息应该在第三段,通过题干中的关键词nightmares和justifiable,可以再该段的第二行找到,I assigned photographers to cover other people’s nightmares. I justified invading moments of grief, under the guise(借口) of the reader’s right to know.这句话表面的意思:我委派摄影师们去拍摄别人的噩梦,我为入侵别人伤心欲绝的时刻这一行为的合理性找到的借口是读者的知情权。(作文暗含的意思是摄影记者总是以读者知情权为幌子拍摄那些具有新闻价值的图片,而不顾忌当事人的感受)题干中的动词shooting在文中对应的动词是cover都是拍摄的意思,(同义替换的情况)justified是作者为自己行为开脱的合法性理由,因此从作者传达的本意来看,他并不认为这样一种行为是合理的。因此选项是错误。(wrong)考点细节信息查找

[单选题]阅读理解:请根据短文内容,为每题确定l个最佳选项。The National Trust。The National Trust in Britain plays an increasingly important part in the preservation for public enjoyment of the best that is left unspoiled of the British countryside. Although the Trust has received practical and moral support from the Government, it is not a rich government department. It is a voluntary association of people who care for the unspoiled countryside and historic buildings of Britain. It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of the public. Its primary duty is to protect places of great natural beauty and places of historical interest.The attention of the public was the first drawn to the dangers threatening the great old houses and the castles of Britain by the death of the Lord Lothian, who left his great seventeenth-century house to the Trust together with the 4500-acre park and estate surrounding it. This gift attracted wide publicity and started the Trust’s “Country House Scheme” Under this scheme, with the help of the Government and the general public, the Trust has been able to save and make accessible to the public about 150 of these oil houses. Lats year, about 1.75 million people paid to visit these historic houses, usually at a very small charge.In addition to country houses and open spaces, the Trust now owns some examples of ancient wind and water mills, nature reserves, 540 farms and nearly 2500 cottages or small village houses, as well as some complete villages. In these villages no one is allowed to build, develop or disturb the old village environment in any way and all the houses are maintained in their original 16th century style. Over 4,000 acres of coastline , woodland, and hill country are protected by the Trust and no development or disturbances of any kind are permitted. The public has free access to these areas and is only asked to respect the peace, beauty and wildlife.Over the past 80 years the Trust has become a big and important organization and an essential and respected part of national life. It helps to preserve all that and of historical significance not only for future generations of Britons but also for the millions of tourists who each year invade Britain in search of a great historic and cultural heritage.
正确答案 :
