【正文】 英語(yǔ)閱讀理解(人物故事)專(zhuān)題練習(xí)(及答案)一、高中英語(yǔ)閱讀理解人物故事類(lèi)1．閱讀理解 Three months after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Rebecca Sell, then 24, a photojournalist for Fredericksburg photographed a New Orleans couple worriedly examining waterspotted photo albums. As she took the photo, something within her clicked. I told them I could take the ruined pictures, copy them and give them digitally restored (修復(fù)) photos, she recalls. Although a bit sceptical, the couple agreed. Rebecca took their photos home, restored them and took them to the couple at their temporary home. It felt so good to be able to do that for them, says Rebecca. When her editor, Dave Ellis, saw the photo of the couple, he suggested they go back and restore damaged photos for even more people. So in January 2006, with paid time off from the paper, the two set up shop in Pass Christian. After posting a notice in the munity newsletter, Rebecca and Dave received 500 photos in four days. For each, the pair took a new digital picture, then used hightech software to erase water spots and restore colors. It just so happened that a popular website linked to Dave39。s blog about the experience, and soon Operation Photo Rescue, as it came to be known, had s from hundreds of volunteers, including photographers and restoration experts, eager to help. Though digital restoration is a painstaking process, mending irreplaceable family pictures means the world to victims like Emily Lancaster, 71, who took out piles of ruined photo albums after Katrina, never thinking the mess could be saved. But she just couldn39。t bear to part with a few treasured pictures, including a portrait of her father, who had passed away, and a photo of her husband as a boy. Then she heard about Operation Photo Rescue. I didn39。t have a whole lot of hope they could fix them, but they did, Emily says. Almost every day I think about all the pictures I39。ve lost. I39。m so happy to have these two. In the five years since Katrina, Operation Photo Rescue has collected thousands of pictures ruined by floods, hurricanes and tornadoes. Volunteers make copy runs to disaster areas across the country to gather damaged photos from survivors。 operating costs are covered by donations. It39。s great to be able to give people some of their history back, says Rebecca. One person told me that thanks to us, her grandmother got to see her photos again before she passed away. Moments like that remind me why I do this.（1）When Rebecca took the picture of the New Orleans couple, she decided to .

Their twins173。a girl and a boy173。were born two minutes apart and 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he39。d stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live. I saw him gasp (喘息), but the doctor said it was no use, Kate told the Daily Mail five years later. I know it sounds stupid, but if he was still gasping, that was a sign of life. I wasn39。t going to give up easily. Still, the couple knew this was likely a goodbye. In an effort to cherish her last minutes with the tiny boy, Kate asked to hold him. I wanted to meet him, and for him to know us, Kate told Today. We39。d resigned ourselves to the fact that we were going to lose him, and we were just trying to make the most of those last, precious moments. Kate unwrapped the boy, whom the couple had already named Jamie, from his hospital blanket and asked David to take his shirt off and join them in bed. The firsttime parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skintoskin contact would improve his condition. They also talked to him. We were trying to persuade him to stay, Kate told the Daily Mail. We explained his name and that he had a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to have hi
