8.A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding-undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism-if they had been made last week.In fact,they were shot from 1914 through 1916,most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海灘),by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival.Many of the images were stored in an ice chest,under freezing water,in the damaged wooden ship.
The ship was the Endurance,a small,tight,Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,27 men in all,to the southernmost shore of Antarctica's Weddell Sea.From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent.The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done.Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.
As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance,adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort.Scott's last journey,completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger,caught the world's imagination,and a film made in his honor drew crowds.Shackleton,a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908,started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography.Frank Hurley,a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic,was hired to make the images,most of which have never before been published.

29.What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?D
A.They were made last week.
B.They showed undersea sceneries.
C.They were found by a cameraman.
D.They recorded a disastrous adventure.
30.Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?C
A.Frank Hurley.
B.Ernest Shackleton.
C.Robert Falcon Scott.
D.Caroline Alexander.
31.What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?C
A.Artistic creation.
B.Scientific research.
C.Money making.
D.Treasure hunting.

解答 29-31 DCC
29.D.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"fact,they were shot from 1914 through 1916,most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海灘),by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival"可知這張照片記錄了一場(chǎng)災(zāi)難性的冒險(xiǎn).故選D.
30.C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)"Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back."可知Robert Falcon Scott先到達(dá)南極.故選C.
31.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)"Shackleton,a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908,started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography."可知Alexander認(rèn)為他的這次航行就是為了掙錢.故選C.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文是一篇人物故事類閱讀.文章主要向我們描述了Frank的圖片記錄了一次不成功的航海活動(dòng).此類題型主要考查學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力.細(xì)節(jié)理解題是針對(duì)文中某個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)、某句話或某部分具體內(nèi)容設(shè)置問題,所以在做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)要結(jié)合原文和提干有針對(duì)性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,再結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.在做推理判斷題時(shí)不要以個(gè)人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要聯(lián)系上下文根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

18.Not long ago,few little girls imagined they could grow up to become astronauts.For years in the United States,only men had that opportunity.In 1983,that changed.Sally Ride made history by becoming the first American woman to travel to space.
On Monday,Ride died at the age of 61,"Sally was a national hero and a powerful role model,"President Barack Obama said in a statement."She inspired generations of young girls to reach for the stars."
Ride became interested in space when she was a kid."If you asked me when I was 12 whether I wanted to be an astronaut,I'm sure I would have said yes,"she said in a 2010 interview."But I didn't even think about that as a possible career."
After studying physics in college,Ride got her chance.She was accepted into NASA's astronaut training program in 1978,and then chosen to be the first American female in space.In 1983,she blasted into space aboard the Challenger shuttle.
Ride returned to space on the Challenger a second time in 1984.Between the two missions,she spent a total of 343hours in orbit.After that,she remained involved with the space program and also worked to share her passion for science with kids.She co-authored six science books for children,and started her own science education company.
Ride knew that she held a unique place in history."I realized how important it was for a woman to break that barrier and open the door for other women to be able to do the same exciting things that the men had been doing,"she said.
Since Ride's historic trip,more than 40other American women have traveled to space.They all had Ride to thank for opening the door to the final frontier.
