For fun, they

177、unintentionally placed an insect under the lens (镜片). “It is amazingly beautiful!” they both screamed.The father had been making a career taking photographs for advertisements. But that experience gave him a new direction. Around the world, insect populations are in decline because of habitat loss a

178、nd climate change. Biss thought that if people could see what he saw through his sons microscope, they would care more about protecting insects.So Biss turned to macrophotography: taking close-up pictures of small things, like flowers or bugs. His work has attracted attention not just for its unusua

179、l beauty. It also raises awareness about the need for conservation.In 2016, Biss showed his first insect project, Microsculpture. The term refers to the features of an insects exoskeleton, or outer shell, which develops over time as the bug adapts to its environment.Bisss pictures capture the insect

180、s in all their microscopic details. Then he blows up the images until the insects become larger than life, some of them eight feet tall. But each image takes weeks to make. He uses a digital camera with a microscope lens. The camera is fixed on a computerized track, which allows Biss to take a shot,

181、 then move the camera by seven microns (微米) a distance equals to about 1/10 the thickness of a human hair for the next shot. In the end, Biss might take 10,000 shots of a bug. A computer combines these small pictures into a single image.Bisss latest exhibition is Extinct and Endangered at the Americ

182、an Museum of Natural History. He selected bugs that were extinct or endangered, hoping his photographs would serve as a better purpose. “I communicate visually,” he says, “The way I work is through pictures. But I think its my duty to shake things up and get people to pay attention.”53What made Levo

183、n Biss turn to macrophotography?ABeautiful insects.BAttractive environment.CAn expensive microscope.DAn accidental observation.54How does Levon Biss manage to capture insects microscopic details?ABy taking a shot at them twice.BBy adjusting the camera on a track.CBy taking close-up pictures countles

185、describes Levon Biss?APatient and responsible.BWealthy and ambitious.CPolite and strong-willed.DCurious and easy-going.【答案】53D 54C 55D 56A【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一名广告摄影师为保护昆虫而改变了自己的职业的故事。53细节理解题。根据一段中“For fun, they unintentionally placed an insect under the lens (镜片).

(摄像机固定在计算机控制的轨道上，这使得Biss可以拍摄一张照片，然后将相机移动7微米大约相当于人类头发厚度的1/10拍摄下一张照片。最后，Biss可能会拍1万张照片。计算机把这些小图片合成一张图像)”可知，Levon Biss是通过无数次的特写照片捕捉到昆虫的微观细节的。故选C项。55词句猜测题。划线词句前文“He selected bugs that we

188、re extinct or endangered, hoping his photographs would serve as a better purpose. (他选择了已经灭绝或濒临灭绝的昆虫，希望他的照片能起到更好的作用)”说明他希望他的照片能够引起人们重视对自然界的保护，从而推知划线词句“But I think its my duty to shake things up and get people to pay attention. (但我认为我有责任shake things up，引起人们的关注)”其中划线短语意思是“让人们对大自然重视起来”。故选D项。56推理判断题。根据第五

199、, ran to the window, and saw the problem the airports runway lights were out.(Nelson和她的妹妹跳出桑拿房，跑到窗前，看到了问题机场跑道上的灯灭了)”和倒数第二段中“The helicopter made its final approach and, guided by the headlights, landed safely.(直升机做了最后的降落，在前灯的指引下安全着陆)”可知，机场跑道的灯灭了，所以直升机无法在夜间找到跑道的位置，故选D。58词句猜测题。根据划线词后“it was a helicopte

200、r, there to transport a seriously ill local girl to the nearest hospital, 280 miles away in another city(这是一架直升机，要把一名身患重病的当地女孩送到280英里外另一个城市最近的医院)”可知，直升机的任务很紧急，urgent意为“紧急的，迫切的”，故选A。59推理判断题。根据第四段“Nelson had a plan.

201、e plane to follow. Great idea, but it wasnt enough. More light was needed, so a neighbor called nearly every home in the village 32 of them.(Nelson有一个计划。她把吉普车开到跑道尽头，把车灯照在路上，让飞机跟着。好主意，但这还不够。因为需要更多的光线，所以一个邻居几乎给村里的每户人家打了电话一共32户)”和第五段中“Within 20 minutes, 20 vehicles arrived at the airport, many of the d

202、rivers still in pajamas. Following directions from the helicopter pilot, the cars lined up on one side of the runway.

However, for Nelson, it was only a small deed.(如果没有他们，这个女孩可能不会成功。然而，对Nelson来说，这只是一件小事)”可知，Nelson的一个小小的举动救了一位孩，故本文想要告诉我们小小的善举也会产生重大影响。故选C。
