Ⅳ.阅读理解
The world got a glimpse(一瞥) of one of the greatest mysteries of our universe(宇宙) on April 10. That's when the first image of a black hole was shown to the public. The picture was created by a network of eight radio telescopes(射电望远镜).
“We__have__seen__what__we__thought__was__unseeable,” says Shep Doeleman. He led the effort to create the image.
The black hole is in the centre of the galaxy(星系) named Messier 87, about 55 million light years from the earth, and is 6.5 billion times the mass of the sun.
The image shows the gas, dust, and stars that move around the black hole before disappearing into it. It does not truly show the black hole, because not even light can escape its gravity. Black holes, like vacuums, suck(吸) in everything that gets too close.
( )16.In Paragraph 1, the underlined word “image” probably means ________.
A.truth B.fact
C.picture D.information

D.Faraway Galaxy
Ⅴ.任务型阅读
What should you do if you want to have a nice photo taken Whether it's work or fun, the most important thing is lighting. If you get bad lighting, you will look bad, too. Know where the light is. You don't want it below you or above you. You want it to shine directly at you.
The key thing is no shadow(阴影). If you are being photographed outside, do it in the morning, or wait till the 2 o'clock shadow has passed. Also don't let pictures in the magazines stress you out—all the pictures are taken by great photographers, and all the faces have had pimples(丘疹;粉刺) taken out by computers.
Tip your head and learn what angles(角度) work with your face. Everyone is different. So you have to learn what suits you. You can practise in Photo Booth to learn what angles suit your face. Tip your neck to make it look longer, and make eye contact with the camera. No one can look bad if they smile.
For long legs, point one leg into centre of the frame and get the photographer to shoot looking up your body.
For just leg shots, lie upside down and raise legs in the air for the best angle. And your legs will look thinner and be in better shape.
Keep shoulders back.
Always have your mouth slightly open, enough to put a penny between your lips, as this will make your lips look fuller.
Lower your eyes and then look up just as the shutter(快门) is clicked for full eyes.
Try to catch every perfect photogenic moment!

Ⅵ.还原短文,方框中有两项多余
In 2011, when British photographer David J. Slater was visiting a park in Indonesia, his camera was taken away by a group of black monkeys. The result was hundreds of monkey selfies(自拍照). The best ones show a monkey smiling for the camera. 26.________
Nobody knew they would create a copyright(版权) battle three years later.
Last month, a website put the monkey selfies online under a collection of free photos without Slater's permission(允许). 27.________
However, the website refused to do so. They said that according to US copyright law, whoever pushes the button on the camera owns the copyright to the photo. 28.________
They said, “US copyright law says that works that come from a non human source can't ask for copy right. That means monkeys don't own copyright.”
29.________He said he bought the cameras; he spent a lot of money travelling to Indonesia; and it was his carelessness that allowed the monkeys to take his cameras away. All these have made him own the pictures, no matter who pushed the button. Slater said that in a sense, the monkeys helped him take the photos.
30.________ Who do you think will win this interesting battle
A.Finally, Slater won the copyright.
B.As of now, there has been no result in the Monkey Selfie case.
C.Slater then sold the photos and they became popular on the Internet.
D.It was the monkeys but not Slater that pushed the button.
E.Slater took photos of the monkeys and sold them.
F.Slater asked the website to take them down since he owns the copyright.
G.Slater argued(争论) that the pictures belonged to him as they were taken from his camera.

24.Keep shoulders back.
25.How to look nice in a photo./How to have a nice photo taken.
Ⅵ.26.C 根据下文“Nobody knew they would create a copyright(版权) battle three years later.”可知,Slater 应该是出售了那些猴子的自拍照,所以会出现当别的网站未经允许便使用那些照片时,会引发版权纠纷。C项意为“Slater 之后卖掉了那些照片并且它们在互联网上变得流行起来”,符合语境。故选C。
27.F 根据下文“However, the website refused to do so.”可知,此处应该是讲 Slater 在得知该网站擅自使用照片后要求撤下照片,维护自己的权利。F项意为“Slater要求该网站撤下那些自拍照因为他拥有版权”,符合语境。故选F。
28.D 根据上文“They said that according to US copyright law, whoever pushes the button on the camera owns the copyright to the photo.”和下文“They said…That means monkeys don't own copyright.”可知,美国版权法规定,谁按了照相机上的按钮谁就拥有照片的版权,而相机上的按钮是猴子按的,但是猴子因为不属于人类,从而无法享有版权。D项意为“是那些猴子而并不是Slater按下了按钮”,符合语境。故选D。
29.G 根据下文“All these have made him own the pictures, no matter who pushed the button.”可知,Slater坚持认为照片的版权是属于自己的。G项意为“Slater 辩论称,照片是属于他的因为它们是从他的相机里取走的”,符合语境。故选G。
30.B 根据下文“Who do you think will win this interesting battle?”可知,这起版权纠纷还未得到妥善解决。B项意为“截至目前,这个猴子自拍照案子还没有结果”,符合语境。故选B。
