In many ways, the earliest periods of photography are the most satisfying. Learning to use the controls is easy and comes quickly, and you can measure 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 turning 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 before 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 in 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", or "you can't 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 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 story. Good pictures can show their subjects quickly and easily.

64. 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 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.

65. What will it bring you if you decide the purpose of the photograph in advance?

A. 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.

66. Many photographers fail because ______.

A. their pictures include both buildings and people    

B. everything is not clear in their pictures

C. the subjects of their pictures are not obvious

D. the explanation given for their pictures is mistaken

67. 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 right camera.           D. A book on improving photographic techniques.

第三部分:閱讀理解(共20小題,每題2分,滿分40分)

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中,選出最佳答案,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

In this age of ours, I find that almost all of my friends are becoming mere voices.

Not too long ago when friends came, they would fill half the drawing room and their voices would penetrate the four walls and disturb all the neighbors. Now they have all become, step by step, into invisible and untouched beings, whose tiny voices can only be heard by one ear through the telephone, no louder than the mosquitoes(蚊子).

Since this has become a necessary part of modern life, I too have learnt to live with this “ear language”. Many friends have become more distant because they are not very good at this way of communication(交流), others have become closer through ear language, and there are some friends I know by voice only. There is one particular voice friend I got to know through a very curious incident.

One day my telephone rang. When I lifted the receiver- a young lady’s voice informed me that she was phoning in answer to an advertisement for a night club program hostess. Obviously she had got the wrong number. The incident should have ended there and then. Actually, it was a sweet voice, only her poor imitation(模仿)of Hong Kong pronunciation and intonation got on my nerve and especially the “wa!” gave me the goose flesh. I told her that if I were the boss of the club, I wouldn’t give her a second thought because of her poor pronunciation. The young lady at the other end of the phone immediately came up with a surprising suggestion that, of course in her true local accent, she wanted to learn proper standard spoken Chinese speech from me, because she valued every chance very much. To my great surprise, we became “phone” friends. Every day, at the agreed time, she would ring me up and our “l(fā)esson” would begin. And she was tested and interviewed by a radio station in the south and got acceptd. She phoned me for the last time to thank me and to say good-bye. We had already formed a very deep “voice” friendship and have left deep unchangeable vocal(聽覺的) impressions in each other’s mind. Any sudden appearance of visual images(視覺印象), good or bad, could only be destructive.

56.The underlined word penetrate in the first paragraph means _____.

A.pass quickly by              B.force a way through 

C.hear accidentally       D.make a hole in

57.The passage suggests us that _____.

A.they would be friends forever

B.they would meet in the future

C.they hadn’t had and wouldn’t have any interview

D.the young lady was able to sing sweet songs in standard Chinese

58.We know from the passage that _____.

A.in modern times people get in touch less than before

B.young people enjoys getting together very much

C.people are more ready to help others

D.people can earn a lot of money in the night club

59.Which is wrong according to the passage?

A.The writer taught the young lady without pay.

B.The young lady can’t be a native of Beijing.

C.The writer is not fond of getting in touch with others

D.Neither of the two is ready to see each other.
