Take a view, the Landscape Photographer of the Year Award, was the idea of Charlie Waite, one of today’s most respected landscape photographers. Each year, the high standard of entries had shown that the Awards are the perfect platform to showcase the very best photography of the British landscape. Take a view is a desirable annual competition for photographers from all corners of the UK and beyond.
Mike Shepherd (2011) Skiddaw in Winter Cumbria, England It was an extremely cold winter’s evening and freezing fog hung in the air. I climbed to the top of a small rise and realized that the mist was little more than a few feet deep, and though it was only a short climb, I found myself completely above it and looking at a wonderfully clear view of Skiddaw with the sun setting in the west. I used classical techniques, translated from my college days spent in the darkroom into Photoshop, to achieve the black-and-white image.
Timothy Smith (2014) Macclesfield Forest Cheshire, England I was back in my home town of Macclesfield to take some winter images. Walking up a path through the forest towards Shutlingsloe, a local high point, I came across a small clearing and immediately noticed the dead yellow grasses set against the fresh snow. The small pine added to the interest and I placed it centrally to take the view from the foreground right through into the forest.

On a table at his home in Rosetta, a port city in northern Egypt, self-taught artist Ibrahim Bilal displayed a variety of his signature mini sculptures made with pencil tips.
With about 80 works featuring landmarks and famous people in Egypt and beyond, the 30-year-old artist said he was inspired four years ago to thoroughly grasp the art form after watching videos of a Chinese artist carving pencil lead into sculptures.
Fond of ancient Egyptian icons, Bilal dedicated one of his earliest works to the world-famous Rosetta Stone, an ancient Egyptian relic unearthed in his city and kept in the British Museum. “Being the first Egyptian to master this kind of art, I wanted to present the Egyptian cultural relics in a modern way,” Bilal noted.
Bilal uses a microscope for an enlarged view, a set of pen cutters or carving detail knives, and quality pencils mostly made in Germany or China while working. Through his deft hands, landmarks across the globe, including the Burj Khalifa skyscraper in Dubai, the Eiffel Tower in Paris and the Learning Tower of Pisa in Italy, emerge on the pencil tips. The size of each sculpture is no more than 6 mm unless it’s a tower, and each takes an average of 10 hours to finish. Some may take him more than 40 hours like his dearest King Tut’s mask. These pieces are so delicate and fragile that they have to be wrapped in tissues before sliding into a lab tube for temporary storage.
After graduating from law school, Bilal taught himself to be a painter professional enough to give painting classes to junior artists. He started taking part in exhibitions two years ago. “We use magnifying glasses to allow visitors to see the showcased works on display in detail without having to come too close to them,” Bilal said, noting the feedback from visitors has been awesome. “It was a pencil. But once I turned it into a sculpture, it has to be treated as art as well.
4. What is the author’s purpose in writing the second paragraph
A. To introduce the origin of the art form.
B. To highlight the short history of the art form.
C. To reveal how to turn pencils into mini sculptures.
D. To show what made Bilal an artist of pencil tips.
5. What was Bilal’s goal after becoming Egypt’s first pencil tip artist
A. To reach young artists about the art form.
B. To hold exhibitions of pencil tip sculptures.
C. To promote foreign landmarks through the art form.
D. To show the Egyptian icons with a modern technique.
6. What do we know about Bilal from the text
A. Bilal got the inspiration from an Egyptian professional.
B. All of Bilal’s sculptures are around 6 mm.
C. The King Tut’s mask cost Bilal much longer time than the average.
D. Bilal’s sculptures display famous structures and people within Egypt.
7. What is the attitude of the people towards the exhibitions
A. Favorable B. Objective C. Critical D. Indifferent
C
Living in Iowa and trying to become a photographer specializing in landscape can be quite a challenge, mainly because the corn state lacks geographical variation.
Although landscapes in the Midwest tend to be quite similar, either farm or highways, sometimes I find distinctive character in the hills or lakes. To make some of my landscape shots, I have traveled up to four hours away to shoot within a 10-minute time frame. I tend to travel with a few of my friends to state parks or to the countryside to go on adventures and take photos along the way.
Being at the right place at the right time is decisive in any style of photography. I often leave early to seek the right destinations so I can set up early to avoid missing the moment I am attempting to photograph. I have missed plenty of beautiful sunsets/ sunrises due to being on the spot only five minutes before the best moment.
One time my friends and I drove there hours to Devil’s Lake, Wisconsin, to climb the purple quartz rock around the lake. After we found a crazy-looking road that hung over a bunch of rocks, we decided to photograph the scene at sunset. The position enabled us to look over the lake with the sunset in the background. We managed to leave this spot to climb higher because of the spare time until sunset. However, we did not mark the route so we ended up almost missing the sunset entirely. Once we found the place, it was stressful getting lights and cameras set up in the limited time. Still, looking back on the photos, they are some of my best shots though they could have been so much better if I would have been prepared and managed my time wisely.
8. How does the author deal with the challenge as a landscape photographer in the Midwest
A. By teaming up with other photographers.
B. By shooting in the countryside or state parks.
C. By studying the geographical conditions.
D. By creating settings in the corn fields.
9. What is the key to successful landscape photography according to the author
A. Proper time management B. Good shooting techniques
C. Adventurous spirit D. Distinctive styles
10. What can we infer from the author’s trip with friends to Devil’s Lake
A. They went crazy with the purple quartz rock.
B. They felt stressed while waiting for the sunset.
C. They reached the shooting spot later than expected.
D. They had problems with their equipment.
11. How does the author find his photos taken at Devil’s Lake
A. Amusing B. Satisfying C. Encouraging D. Comforting
D
The TV series, The Longest Day in Chang’an, which was shown on Chinese online platforms in 2019 became a hit soon. Since then, it has been shown on partnering streaming platforms and TV networks abroad. Some websites overseas also offered the program to their users paying for it—the first time a Chinese series was broadcast as paid content abroad.
“I was amazed by the overseas audience’s love for this show,” Cao Dun, director of The Longest Day in Chang’an, told Beijing Review. “I was worried that they wouldn’t understand the complex political structure of the Tang Dynasty. But in reality, the show is prompting foreign audiences to research Tang Dynasty’s history to better understand the plot.”
The unique culture in ancient China is not a barrier but a bridge to connect with foreign audiences. In the TV series, every figure is given enough space to flesh out his or her character. Telling stories of ordinary Chinese people that resonate with the audience might be the way to communicate with the world. “The success of the TV series shows that beauty is a universal language crossing borders,” he told Beijing Review.
His ambition is to distinguish Chinese dramas from the TV shows in the rest of the world. “The TV series is a step in my plan to tell Chinese stories to the world,” Cao said. “After describing the impressive beauty of the Tang Dynasty, I am looking for several plays that tell stories of today’s China. I don’t want to copy any country’s production. Chinese dramas have to be built on our rich culture and Chinese people’s everyday life, Cao added.
12. What do we know about the TV series, The Longest Day in Chang’an
A. It was first put on overseas. B. It can be appreciated for free.
C. It was very popular once it was shown. D. It is about the development of the Tang Dynasty.
13. What does the underlined word “prompting” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Requiring B. Reminding C. Informing D. Encouraging
14. What made the TV series a success
A. Recognition of beauty B. Stories of ordinary people.
C. Diversity of Chinese culture D. Personalities of every figure.
15. What is Cao Dun’s ambition
A. To make a successful TV series. B. To tell Chinese stories to the world.
C. To show China’s different nationalities. D. To learn the ancient political structure.
