Learning to use the controls is easy and comes quickly, and you can measur
17、e the results in terms of sharp and correctly developed pictures. Once you have mastered that, you can start on the second step of your photographic work. Using these basic skills in the wide variety of situations to give the pictures you want, noticing what you see through the viewfinder and turnin
18、g that into the most effective picture becomes totally interesting.All good photographs have one thing in common: there is no doubt what the subject of the picture is meant to be. Every photographer must use those same standards to his or her work, not only to finished results but to the subject bef
19、ore he or she takes it. Always work out quite clearly what the subject of the picture is to be and why you are taking the picture. For example, “I am going to take a picture of this street to show the different styles and ages of the buildings and that people have been living, working and shopping i
20、n them since time began.” By doing this you have a better idea of what to include in the picture and what to leave out. How often have you been shown photographs taken by people away on a trip somewhere? The judgment is always similar, something about “the car park is out of the picture to the left”
21、, or “you cant quite see from this picture but if you go up the street”. The photographs are usually collections of buildings, people, parked cars, possibly a distant look of an ancient church, and best of all, a figure which you are told is Aunt Henrietta, disappearing in the middle distance. When
22、photographers show you their pictures, they have a clear idea of what they want to bring to your attention, but it often does not appear in the picture. If they had given just a little of their time to think about their future judgment before taking the picture, then the picture would relate its own
23、 story. Good pictures can show their subjects quickly and easily.56. What does the author mean by saying “in many ways, the earliest periods of photography are the most satisfying”?A. The skills of photography are not as satisfactory nowadays as before.B. The earliest pictures were the best pictures
24、 people have ever taken.C. The present-day photography depends more on technology than on art.D. Learning to produce a sharp and correctly developed picture is only the first step in photography and is easily learned.57. What will it bring you if you decide the purpose of the photograph in advance?A
25、. It will allow you to leave out unnecessary material.B. It will allow you to stand in the best place.C. It will help you to vary the subjects of your pictures.D. It means you will waste less time.58. Many photographers fail because _.A. their pictures include both buildings and peopleB. everything
26、is not clear in their picturesC. the subjects of their pictures are not obviousD. the explanation given for their pictures is mistaken59. What book is this passage most likely taken from?A. A book on photography for news reporters. B. A book on how to photograph people.C. A book on choosing the righ
27、t camera. D. A book on improving photographic techniques.第四部分：任务型阅读：Do we need an “Ivy League”?China may soon have its own “Ivy League”, with a union of top universities.The term originally referred to an athletic conference of eight top universities in the northeastern US. The Chinese version, whic
28、h was officially started in mid-October, consists of nine famous universities, including Peking, Tsinghua, Zhejiang and Fudan. The union is supposed to result in student exchange programs, recognition of academic achievements, and other joint programs.The news of this Chinese “Ivy League” has receiv
29、ed mixed responses from the public and press. Some negative critics have dismissed it as yet another example of the wishful copying of international practices without fully understanding them. Others say that the “Ivy League” is not necessary but that the union is a good idea, one that could promote
30、 academic development.So whats your opinion on a Chinese “Ivy League”? Do we need one?Yes. Ivy League or not, nine of Chinas best universities cooperating is a good thing.These universities combining resources could create a better environment for students and for research. It could also save a lot
31、of time and resources because it would mean fewer unnecessary investments for some of the universities.Allowing students to move to or have exchanges with other universities could broaden their horizons, improve their social skills and create more employment opportunities. The results could be more
32、important than lessons and achievements.The term “Ivy League” carries a sense of academic excellence, tradition and reputation. If borrowing such a term could encourage students and professors mental state and improve Chinese higher education, then theres no reason not to do it.No. Universities shou
33、ld do some work on increasing cooperation instead of copying an “Ivy League” model.Many Chinese universities already have such cooperation with each other. If this cooperation were associated with the “Ivy League”, it would just distract (分散) attention and resources and have a negative effect.These
34、Chinese universities are all state-run and most get their funding from the government. Theyre quite similar to each other in many ways and more cooperation wouldnt bring about as much potential ability as between , say, public and private, or Chinese and foreign universities.China should find its ow
35、n way to develop world-class universities instead of by copying some foreign practices. We have our own unique conditions and foreign lessons often dont apply well here.
