【正文】 probably e from?A．A travel guide. B．A geography textbook.C．A hotel advertisement. D．An introduction to Weekly News.BInspired by the movement to protect the Carmanah Valley and Clayoquot Sound, I decided to devote myself to producing images for conservation fulltime in 1992. Since that time my work has taken me all over the world and my photos have appeared in many major magazines. However, many of my most rewarding moments have e from working on projects in British Columbia, Canada, and sharing those images in slide show tours I have given throughout Canada, the . and Europe.The more I travel and photograph in other parts of the world, the more I have e to realize the wilderness we have in Canada is truly special and rare.I have always felt that as a photographer my goal is to approach the natural environment with the sense of wonder and curiosity that es so naturally to children. This, I believe, is one of the basic keys not just to producing meaningful images, but more importantly, to gaining a full appreciation and enjoyment of the natural world.I find that not only my best images, but also my most enjoyable experiences in nature, occur when I have an open mind and follow my intuition (直覺). When I feel drawn to a certain scene, I try to make the scene simple and not include anything that is not relevant. I also try all ways to look for beautiful light. Early morning and the end of the day almost always produce light that results in more pleasing images than those taken under the strong light in the middle of a sunny day. Soft cloudy skies are wonderful for photographing all day, especially in our beautiful forests or for small subjects like wildflowers. Rain, storms, and snow also provide wonderful opportunities for new and different kinds of images.41．In the first paragraph, the author mainly tells us about________.A．his working experiences B．his goal as a photographerC．his skills in photographing D．his understanding about conservation42．It can be inferred that the author________.A．was born in the United KingdomB．now works mainly in the United StatesC．has worked as a fulltime tour guide since 1992D．is aware of the importance of environmental protection43．What’s the authors goal as a photographer?A．To produce beautiful picturesB．To take his children to approach the nature.C．To gain people’s appreciation and admiration.D．To get close to nature with strong desire to know about it44．Which of the following is true of the author’s images?A．They are not easy to be produced in soft cloudy skies.B．Sometimes the scenes in them are simple and don’t include irrelevant things.C．If they are wildflowers, the best time to produce them is in the rain.D．If produced at the end of the day, they are more beautiful than in the early moming.45．What is the purpose of writing the passage?A．To study the key to being a famous artist.B．To show thoughts about nature photography.C．To praise wonderful scenes they have in Canada.D．To tell the most enjoyable experiences in nature. CThe official opening of Beijing Daxing International Airport caps a long design and building process. Designed by the late architect Zaha Hadid and her Chinese partners, the airport is built for the future, having a terminal the size of 97 soccer groundsas well as customerservice robots that provide travelers with flight updates and airport information. Called starfish by Chinese media for its shape of five concourses（大廳）connected to a main hall, Daxing Airport aims to reduce the walking distance for passengers. The airport authority has promised a distance of no more than 600 meters（about eight minutes of walking）between security checkpoints and the remotest boarding gate. This new modern airport employs a special intelligent lighting system, supported by eight big Cshaped columns that let in the sunlight, brightening the architecture and structure. Therefore, it minimizes the need to use electric lighting. To offer a more refreshing travel experience, five outdoor courtyards with the themes Silk Garden. Tea Garden, Porcelain Garden, Countryside Garden and Chinese garden feature at the end of the five departure lounges（等候室）for use by passengers waiting for their flights. Travelers will be scanned on cameras using facial recognition. Counters will be fully automated to capture face photos and relay them in each part of the journey through the airport, including security and the departure gate. China is projected to overtake the United States as the world39。 第二部分：閱讀理解（共20小題；，滿分50分）閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。Regardless of the weather or the distance, Paul Wilson will make sure lowine students in his neighbourhood arrive at their college classes on time.A retired engineer, 76yearold Wilson has been 16 free rides to college students for the past eight years.
