We chose the first. Up early, my husband and I and our three children couldnt wait to get started. We decided to walk

9、 along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail. As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldnt help noticing that the other tourists werent like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed. As the sun rose higher, Arizonas famous heat se

10、emed to roast(烘烤)us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly.The next day, after wed had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Can

11、yon by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world.We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed(翻转)the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted,

12、“STOP, TAKE US BACK!” When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally Id suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geograp

13、hic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.21. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?A. They made a careful preparation before the tripB. They children were more joyful than their parents.C. Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.D. The

14、 summer heat prevented them from enjoying the view.22.

Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air?A. It proved to be frighten

15、ing. B. It was more comfortableC. It turned out to be exciting D. It made each of them tired.24. We can infer from the passage that .A. experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best wayB. one needs to dress less when visiting the Grand Canyon.C. the writer was not serious when she made the sugg

16、estion.D. the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accident.BPhotographs are everywhere. They decorate (装饰) the walls of homes and are used in stores for sales of different goods. The news is filled with pictures of fires, floods, and special events. Photos record the beauties of nature. They

17、can also bring things close that are far away. Through photos, people can see wild animals, cities in foreign lands, and even the stars in outer space. Photos also tell stories.Reporting the news through photos is called photojournalism. At times photojournalists tell their stories through a single

18、picture. At other times, they use a group of pictures to tell a story. Each picture is like a chapter in a book, which can do more than record the facts. It can also be a strong force for social change.Jacob Riis was among the first photojournalists. He took pictures of parts of New York City where

19、the poor lived. Riis believed that poverty(贫穷)caused crime, and he used photos to help him prove his point. A few years later, the photos of small children working in factories by Lewis Hine shocked the public. Hines pictures helped bring about laws to protect such children.Hundreds of pictures may

20、have to be taken in order to get one or two really good photos. It takes science to have the photo come out clearly and art to make a photo that has a good design and expresses feeling. Photojournalists make an actual record of what they see. A photo, however, can be both a work of art and an actual

21、 record. It can record an important event as a beautiful or exciting picture.As historical and artistic documents(文献) ,photos can become more important over time. Today photojournalists still have their pictures appear in newspapers and magazines. They also publish(发表) them in books and on the Inter

22、net.25. The underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refers to .A. beauties B. photos C. goods D. events26.

People prefer reading news with pictures.28. The text is mainly about .A. telling the story through pictures B. decorating the walls of

24、homesC. publishing historical papers D. expressing feeling through picturesCThis was no ordinary class. The students who came together were all science or engineering professors at Cornell University. They had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment:

25、“an interesting week of poetry.” This class was part of a study to answer the questions: Why is science difficult for many nonscience students? What can teachers learn about teaching if they take a class that is not in their field?The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes.

26、 They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers. All students noticed one thing the importance of spoken words. In science and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard. But in this poetry class, the instructors just talked. They didnt write anything

27、on the board.The scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science and poetry. In both subjects, students need to find layers (层次)of meaning . Some layers are simple, clean, and on the surface; other layers are deeper and more difficult. This search for different levels of meaning does

28、nt happen much in undergraduate(本科)science classes, but it is important later, in graduate school. And it is always important in humanities(人文科学).Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience. One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the imp

29、ortance of using careful, clear definitions(定义) when he explains a poem. He also plans to be more informative as he teaches. Most of the scientists agreed on several points. First, humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important. Second, the p

30、oetry class was fun. One engineer decided, “We need to change the way we teach engineering to make it an enjoyable experience for students.”But perhaps the most important result of the experience was this: All of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they can teach better.29. Wh

46、pending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods.
