I didnt check my schedule before I said yes. Id seen these insects light up the forests in Tlaxcala once before, and I jumped at the chance to go
17、 back.While studying, I began exploring Mexico, crossing the country several times by bus. Now I work as a photojournalist in Mexico and along the border, documenting desperate situations that face everyday Mexicans. Though necessary and important, news stories dont reflect the Mexico that I fell fo
18、r and that is home to so many people I love. A task focused on the countrys natural beauty was a welcome reprieve for me.I had three nights to film the magical scene in the forest. According to our guides, visitors are usually not allowed to photograph the fireflies because the presence of artificia
19、l light from electronics can affect their habits. As I started shooting, I adjusted my exposures constantly to account for the fading light. In order to get the composition that I wanted, I placed my tripod (三脚架)on a steep, rocky path and had to steady it during the long exposures. Normally this wou
20、ldnt be a big deal, but the fireflies were very interested in the camera and, by extension, in me. I stood completely still while they were all over me-my arms, my hair, my face. From what I observed, peak(高峰时期的)firefly presence lasts for only about 20 minutes each night, so I had time for just a fe
21、w tries.On the last night everything came together. The weather cooperated. I had improved my method for focusing and composing photos in the dark with quick flashes from a powerful flashlight- and Id grown accustomed to insects on my face.I was rewarded with the image you see here.

25、rs working conditions.CFor many of us, summertime means road trips to the beach or mountains, or at the very least some additional dust on the outside of our vehicle. The extra dirt leads us to do one of two things: wash our car in the driveway or head to the car wash. But which choice is better for
26、 the environment?The main concerns with either choice are the amount of fresh water used and the types of chemicals used to get rid of the dirt. Both of these concerns can be closely monitored when washing the car at home, says Katy Gresh, spokeswoman for the Southwest Region of the Pennsylvania Dep
27、artment of Environmental Protection. She advises car owners to keep a set amount of water in a container for the entire wash. You dont want to leave the water running or use more than you need for the job, she says. But even following this piece of advice comes with an environmental risk: Washing yo
28、ur car in the driveway gets the dirty water into drains(下水道).Drains are not made for treating waste. says John Schombert, executive director of 3 Rivers Wet Weather. Even when car owners use natural soaps to wash their car, Schombert says they are probably ineffective in breaking down grease(油脂)anyw
29、ay.The commercial car wash knows full well the rules regarding wastewater in drains. According to the International Carwash Association( ICA), professional car washes must use special water treatment systems. These processes not only keep the dirty water out of drains and regular water treatment sys
30、tems, but also work to reduce water usage at commercial facilities.As experts point out, cleaning our car at home can use 100 gallons of water. Compare that to self-service car washes, which allow you to use only about 17 or 18 gallons of water. And most full-service car washes average about 30 to 4
31、5 gallons of water per vehicle.28. What does Katy suggest people do about washing cars?A. Use soft toothbrushes. B. Save treated water.C. Put aside some water. D. Avoid using chemicals.29. What is Schomberts attitude to washing cars at home?A. Disapproving. B. Favorable. C. Indifferent. D. Objective

Rumours(谣言)have surrounded Johannes Vermeers work ever since it was redisco
34、vered in the late 19th century, and this painting still continues to generate interest, debate and imagination.Although Vermeer was among the most successful artists working in Delft during the 17th century, he was almost completely forgotten after his death in 1675. Even during his lifetime, Vermee
35、rs influence was mainly limited to Delft where he earned a reasonable living as a painter and art dealer. Whats more, Vermeers name is rarely mentioned in historical records and he left behind barely any other documents about his career or personal history.Very little is known about Girl with a Pear
36、l Earring. However, art historians have decided several important facts about the painting. Recent research suggests that the black, negative space behind Vermeers model was originally painted dark green.Much like other artists of his time, Vermeer enjoyed painting figures dressed in Middle Eastern
37、clothes. As his model is dressed in a turban(女用头巾), many art historians argue that the Vermeers painting shouldnt De considered as a portrait(肖像画)at all. Instead, most scholars agree that Girl with a Pearl Earring belongs to a kind of painting called Tronie that began in the Low Countries around Ver
38、meers time. This type of artwork often portrays(描绘) characters rather than actual people. It portrays a certain type of character; in this case a girl in fanciful cress, wearing an oriental turban and an improbably large pearl in her ear. It is interesting to note that the painting was known as Girl
39、 with Turban or simply Young Girl for most of its existence and only received its current name less than a century ago. While it is impossible to identify Vermeers model, due to a complete lack of evidence, he may have asked one of his seven daughters to sit for the painting.32. What do we learn abo
40、ut Johannes Vermeer when he was alive?A. He lived a very hard life B. He wasnt a gifted artistC. He liked writing about himself D. He wasnt much known out of his city33. What made some scholars regard Girl with a Pearl Earring as a work of Tronic?A. The girls special expression. B. The girls unusual
41、 dressingC. The models unclear gesture. D. The models background painting34. What can we know about the painting from the last paragraph?A. Its model remains mysterious B. Its name is still controversialC. It was severely damaged a century ago. D. It was inspired by a daughter of the artist35. What
42、would be the best title for the text?A. Life experiences of Johannes VermeerB. The model of Girl with a Pearl EarringC. The story behind Girl with a Pearl EarringD.
