Where do you find beauty Fashion Magazines Music Videos One American photographer is finding beauty in unexpected places. And a new documentary about his work might help change the traditional standards of “who” is beautiful.
Rick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashion photographer to turn his lens to people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences. He says what changed his perception of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino(白化病)girl.
“I was just tired of people telling me who was beautiful. Every season that face would change but I was always told who was beautiful. As an artist, I don't see beauty just on covers of magazines. I see it everywhere. So it was my initial intention that opened my eyes a little wider and wider.” Said Guidotti.
Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public views and promote a world where differences are celebrated. Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called On Beauty.
The cast and crew recently hosted a screening at Georgetown University in Washington. One of the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera. “I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me, but meeting him was my profound moment. I remember that particular day he took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there's somebody who, really loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition.” said Waithera.
The documentary is the idea of producer Joanna Rudnick. After seeing Guidotti's photos, she decided to tell his story. Joanna and Guidotti are traveling from city to city to promote On Beauty. “As I travel from community to community, I'm taking photographs and I'm encouraging individuals with a positive sense of who they are. They're seeing beauty in their reflection but I'm also encouraging their families and they in turn are encouraging their communities as well. All is based on the philosophy of change how you see,see how you change.”
4. What made Rick change his understanding of beauty
A. A girl diagnosed with albino.
B. His job as a fashion photographer.
C. The beauty on the covers of magazines.
D. Influence from the people working with him.
5. What can we infer about Jayne Waithera
A. She showed great interest in taking photos.
B. She used to be disappointed at her work and life.
C. She was greatly influenced by the experience with Rick.
D. She believed Rick was the best photographer in the world.
6. Which of the following words can best describe On Beauty
A. abstract and different B. traditional and academic
C. tolerant and encouraging D. creative and interesting
7. What's the best title of the text
A. True Beauty In The Eye Of A Photographer
B. Beautiful Or Not Beautiful,That's A Question
C. Be Who You Are Not Who You Want To Be
D. A Different photographer, A Different Magazine
C
Globally, people use roofs to dry out food, do their laundry and sleep. In Belfast, where we're based, there's a culture of enjoying looking down on the city from up high, because it's in a valley. But because we were a conflict area for a long time,many people didn't want to live, work or hang out in the city, and our roofs cape has been neglected.
Rooftop projects can be as big or as small as you want. They can be used as social or cultural spaces, for green or blue public facilities. But it's not just about commercial opportunities; it can be as simple as an individual turning his/her city balcony into a mini garden or vegetable patch. It's not just about doing it on a rooftop because it's “cool”.It's about giving up the deep-rooted thought that roofs are off limits and embracing their challenges as opportunities. That can make a huge difference. For instance, we're helping turn the rooftop car park of a city central shopping centre into an outdoor space for employees, due to restrictions they now face indoors because of COVID-19.
Using rooftops creatively allows us to cope with many of the challenges faced by cities today--be those environmental, social, technological, or cultural. At the moment,we're being forced to rethink how we use public spaces due to COVID-19. With lots of restrictions on enclosed areas, we should be acknowledging rooftops alternatives.For example,Rotterdam recently hosted a play that took place across its rooftops. Each roof lit up and hosted a different part of the drama, while residents sat and watched, listening to the action through headphones.
Are there any challenges Rain is one. Also is health and safety. But there are creative and practical solutions to all the barriers we face. In fact,the challenges are what make rooftops so exciting----because they give you even more opportunities to be creative and solve problems. It is always a matter of trial and error.
8. What can we learn about rooftops in the first two paragraphs
A. People enjoy getting together on rooftops.
B People can use rooftops to their own advantage.
C. Rooftops are made good use of by locals in Belfast.
D. Rooftops projects were launched for commercial reasons.
9. How can rooftops benefit people in their life
A. Rooftops can be adapted to car parks.
B. Rooftops help solve environmental problems.
C. Rooftops can provide space for work and play.
D. People can exchange their thoughts on rooftops.
10. What will be possibly mentioned after the last paragraph
A. The new challenges of the future.
B. Reasons for building rooftop projects.
C. Exciting development of rooftop projects.
D. Solutions to the challenges we are facing now.
11. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce rooftop projects in Belfast.
B. To encourage people to start rooftop projects.
C. To analyze the current situation of rooftop projects.
D. To offer suggestions on long-term city development.
D
In a world simultaneously on fire and underwater thanks to climate change, scientists have announced some good news: Several important tuna (金枪鱼) species have stepped back from the edge of extinction.
The unexpectedly fast recovery speaks to the success of efforts over the past decade to end overfishing. But tuna are not the only species scientists are discussing at the 2021 World Conservation Congress in Marseille, France, which is organized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Researchers caution that many other marine species remain imperiled. For instance, more than a third of the world's sharks remain threatened with extinction due to overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change.
“I think the good news is that sustainable fisheries are possible,” says Beth Polidoro, a marine biologist at Arizona State University. “We can eat fish in a proper way and without driving the population to the point where it is on the road to collapse or extinction."At the same time, she warned that the changes in status should not be an reason to catch as many fish as we want.
The IUCN, which ranks the world's most endangered species on its Red List of Threatened Species and is backed by 16,000 experts across the globe, also announced at the meeting that some animals are moving in the other direction, onto the Red List. One notable example is the Komodo dragon, an island-living lizard at particular risk from climate change.
For the better part of two decades, Polidoro has been part of a specialist group tasked with assessing the statuses of more than 60 species of tuna and billfishes for the IUCN.Her team announced its first comprehensive findings in 2011, mentioning that a number of commercially fished tuna species were dangerously close to disappearing.According to the new data, the Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), once listed as endangered, now qualifies for a status of least concern. As does the yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) and albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga), which were both considered near-threatened the last time they were assessed.
12. What does the underlined word “imperiled” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Endangered B. Conserved
C. Extinct D. Safe
13. What can we infer from Polidoro's words
A. Too many fish are being eaten by human beings.
B. Eating fish does not necessarily lead to its extinction.
C Fish species are on the edge of dying out if no action is taken.
D. The situation of underwater species are changing for the better.
14. Which of following statement is true according to the passage
A. Some Tuna species are wiped out by overfishing.
B. Tuna are ranked as the world's most endangered species.
C. Climate change poses a threat to most species in water and on land.
D. Three tuna species have been saved from extinction according to the data.
15. What's the main idea of the passage
A. Some tuna species are reported endangered recently.
B. IUCN has helped saved a great many marine species.
C. Improvement has been made in saving marine species.
D. Great efforts should be made to conserve species underwater.

Where do you find beauty Fashion Magazines Music Videos One American photographer is finding beauty in unexpected places. And a new documentary about his work might help change the traditional standards of “who” is beautiful.
Rick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashion photographer to turn his lens to people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences. He says what changed his perception of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino(白化病)girl.
“I was just tired of people telling me who was beautiful. Every season that face would change but I was always told who was beautiful. As an artist, I don't see beauty just on covers of magazines. I see it everywhere. So it was my initial intention that opened my eyes a little wider and wider.” Said Guidotti.
Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public views and promote a world where differences are celebrated. Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called On Beauty.
The cast and crew recently hosted a screening at Georgetown University in Washington. One of the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera. “I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me, but meeting him was my profound moment. I remember that particular day he took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there's somebody who, really loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition.” said Waithera.
The documentary is the idea of producer Joanna Rudnick. After seeing Guidotti's photos, she decided to tell his story. Joanna and Guidotti are traveling from city to city to promote On Beauty. “As I travel from community to community, I'm taking photographs and I'm encouraging individuals with a positive sense of who they are. They're seeing beauty in their reflection but I'm also encouraging their families and they in turn are encouraging their communities as well. All is based on the philosophy of change how you see,see how you change.”
4. What made Rick change his understanding of beauty
A. A girl diagnosed with albino.
B. His job as a fashion photographer.
C. The beauty on the covers of magazines.
D. Influence from the people working with him.
5. What can we infer about Jayne Waithera
A. She showed great interest in taking photos.
B. She used to be disappointed at her work and life.
C. She was greatly influenced by the experience with Rick.
D. She believed Rick was the best photographer in the world.
6. Which of the following words can best describe On Beauty

C. tolerant and encouraging D. creative and interesting
7. What's the best title of the text
A. True Beauty In The Eye Of A Photographer

(“我从来不认为自己是美丽的,因为没有人对我说过这句话,但遇见他是我意义深远的时刻。我记得那天他拍了我的照片,我感觉很好,就好像有人真的爱我,看到了真实的我,看到了比我的病情更重要的我。”Waithera说。)”可推断,Jayne Waithera深受Rick经历的影响。故选C。

Globally, people use roofs to dry out food, do their laundry and sleep. In Belfast, where we're based, there's a culture of enjoying looking down on the city from up high, because it's in a valley. But because we were a conflict area for a long time,many people didn't want to live, work or hang out in the city, and our roofs cape has been neglected.
Rooftop projects can be as big or as small as you want. They can be used as social or cultural spaces, for green or blue public facilities. But it's not just about commercial opportunities; it can be as simple as an individual turning his/her city balcony into a mini garden or vegetable patch. It's not just about doing it on a rooftop because it's “cool”.It's about giving up the deep-rooted thought that roofs are off limits and embracing their challenges as opportunities. That can make a huge difference. For instance, we're helping turn the rooftop car park of a city central shopping centre into an outdoor space for employees, due to restrictions they now face indoors because of COVID-19.
Using rooftops creatively allows us to cope with many of the challenges faced by cities today--be those environmental, social, technological, or cultural. At the moment,we're being forced to rethink how we use public spaces due to COVID-19. With lots of restrictions on enclosed areas, we should be acknowledging rooftops alternatives.For example,Rotterdam recently hosted a play that took place across its rooftops. Each roof lit up and hosted a different part of the drama, while residents sat and watched, listening to the action through headphones.
Are there any challenges Rain is one. Also is health and safety. But there are creative and practical solutions to all the barriers we face. In fact,the challenges are what make rooftops so exciting----because they give you even more opportunities to be creative and solve problems. It is always a matter of trial and error.
8. What can we learn about rooftops in the first two paragraphs
A. People enjoy getting together on rooftops.
B. People can use rooftops to their own advantage.
C. Rooftops are made good use of by locals in Belfast.
D. Rooftops projects were launched for commercial reasons.
9. How can rooftops benefit people in their life
A. Rooftops can be adapted to car parks.
B. Rooftops help solve environmental problems.
C. Rooftops can provide space for work and play.
D. People can exchange their thoughts on rooftops.
10. What will be possibly mentioned after the last paragraph
A. The new challenges of the future.
B. Reasons for building rooftop projects.
C. Exciting development of rooftop projects.
D. Solutions to the challenges we are facing now.
11. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce rooftop projects in Belfast.
B. To encourage people to start rooftop projects.
C. To analyze the current situation of rooftop projects.
D. To offer suggestions on long-term city development.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. B

【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“For instance, we're helping turn the rooftop car park of a city central shopping centre into an outdoor space for employees, due to restrictions they now face indoors because of COVID-19.(例如,我们正在帮助将一个城市中心购物中心的屋顶停车场变成员工的户外空间,因为由于COVID-19,他们现在面临室内限制。)”和文章第三段“For example, Rotterdam recently hosted a play that took place across its rooftops. Each roof lit up and hosted a different part of the drama, while residents sat and watched, listening to the action through headphones.(例如,鹿特丹最近举办了一场横跨其屋顶的戏剧演出。每个屋顶都亮起了灯光,呈现出不同的场景,而居民们则坐在那里观看,通过耳机听着表演。)”可推知,屋顶可以为工作和娱乐提供空间。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“But there are creative and practical solutions to all the barriers we face.(但对于我们面临的所有障碍,都有创造性和实际的解决方案。)”可知,本来这一段要讲解决方案,但是后面没有提到具体的方法,由此可推知,接下来的段落会涉及解决我们现在面临的挑战的方法。故选D。

In a world simultaneously on fire and underwater thanks to climate change, scientists have announced some good news: Several important tuna (金枪鱼) species have stepped back from the edge of extinction.
The unexpectedly fast recovery speaks to the success of efforts over the past decade to end overfishing. But tuna are not the only species scientists are discussing at the 2021 World Conservation Congress in Marseille, France, which is organized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Researchers caution that many other marine species remain imperiled. For instance, more than a third of the world's sharks remain threatened with extinction due to overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change.
“I think the good news is that sustainable fisheries are possible,” says Beth Polidoro, a marine biologist at Arizona State University. “We can eat fish in a proper way and without driving the population to the point where it is on the road to collapse or extinction."At the same time, she warned that the changes in status should not be an reason to catch as many fish as we want.
The IUCN, which ranks the world's most endangered species on its Red List of Threatened Species and is backed by 16,000 experts across the globe, also announced at the meeting that some animals are moving in the other direction, onto the Red List. One notable example is the Komodo dragon, an island-living lizard at particular risk from climate change.
For the better part of two decades, Polidoro has been part of a specialist group tasked with assessing the statuses of more than 60 species of tuna and billfishes for the IUCN.Her team announced its first comprehensive findings in 2011, mentioning that a number of commercially fished tuna species were dangerously close to disappearing.According to the new data, the Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), once listed as endangered, now qualifies for a status of least concern. As does the yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) and albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga), which were both considered near-threatened the last time they were assessed.
12. What does the underlined word “imperiled” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Endangered B. Conserved
C. Extinct D. Safe
13. What can we infer from Polidoro's words
A. Too many fish are being eaten by human beings.
B. Eating fish does not necessarily lead to its extinction.
C. Fish species are on the edge of dying out if no action is taken.
D. The situation of underwater species are changing for the better.
14. Which of following statement is true according to the passage
A. Some Tuna species are wiped out by overfishing.
B. Tuna are ranked as the world's most endangered species.
C. Climate change poses a threat to most species in water and on land.
D. Three tuna species have been saved from extinction according to the data.
15. What's the main idea of the passage
A. Some tuna species are reported endangered recently.
B. IUCN has helped saved a great many marine species.
C. Improvement has been made in saving marine species.
D. Great efforts should be made to conserve species underwater.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了海洋物种保护工作不断加强。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“For instance, more than a third of the world's sharks remain threatened with extinction due to overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change.(例如,由于过度捕捞、栖息地丧失和气候变化,世界上超过三分之一的鲨鱼仍然面临灭绝的威胁。)”可知,研究人员警告说,许多其他海洋物种仍然处于危险之中。由此可知,imperiled意为“濒临灭绝的”。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段““I think the good news is that sustainable fisheries are possible,” says Beth Polidoro, a marine biologist at Arizona State University. “We can eat fish in a proper way and without driving the population to the point where it is on the road to collapse or extinction."(“我认为好消息是,可持续的渔业是可能的,”亚利桑那州立大学的海洋生物学家Beth Polidoro说,“我们可以以适当的方式食用鱼类,而不会将鱼类种群推向崩溃或灭绝的地步。”)”可推知,吃鱼并不一定会导致它的灭绝。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“According to the new data, the Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus thynnus), once listed as endangered, now qualifies for a status of least concern. As does the yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) and albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga), which were both considered near-threatened the last time they were assessed.(根据新的数据,曾经被列为濒危物种的大西洋蓝鳍金枪鱼(Thunnus thynnus)现在是最不受关注的物种。黄鳍金枪鱼(Thunnus albacares)和长鳍金枪鱼(Thunnus alalunga)也是如此,这两种金枪鱼在上次评估时都被认为濒临灭绝。)”可知,根据数据,有三种金枪鱼免于灭绝。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The unexpectedly fast recovery speaks to the success of efforts over the past decade to end overfishing.(出人意料快速恢复表明过去十年结束过度捕捞的努力取得了成功。)”可知,文章讲述了海洋物种保护工作不断加强。故选C。

【43题详解】
考查从属连词。句意同上。此处引导时间状语从句,表示“在……之前”,需用从属连词before。故填before。

【45题详解】
