第二部分  閱讀理解（共25小題；第一節(jié)每小題 2 分，第二節(jié)每小題1分；滿分45分）

第一節(jié) 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

A

Diane Arbus is known for creating intense black and white photographs of very unusual people. She used a special camera that produced square shaped images. One art expert said Diane Arbus turned photography inside out. Instead of looking at her subjects, she made them look at her.

Diane Arbus was born in 1923 to a wealthy family in New York City. After finishing high school at the age of 18, Diane married Allan Arbus. Mr. Arbus worked in the advertising department of her father’s store.

It was Mr. Arbus who gave Diane her first camera. Diane soon decided to take a class with the famous photographer Berenice Abbott. The Arbuses eventually started taking photographs of clothing. These images were used as advertisements for Diane’s father’s store. After the birth of their daughter, Doon, the Arbuses started a business together. Their purpose was to photograph clothing fashions. Diane Arbus was the stylist. She would prepare the hair and faces of the fashion models who wore the clothing being photographed. Allan Arbus took the pictures.

The couple soon had jobs from important fashion magazines such as “Vogue” and “Harper’s Bazaar”. Their work was very successful during the 1950s. They became part of a group of artists that were helping to redefine visual culture. They were breaking with past traditions to create a new look for a new decade, the sixties.

But Diane was not satisfied with her secondary role. She wanted a more active part in making photographs. She wanted to explore her own artistic expression and freedom. To do this, she stopped working with her husband. Then she started taking photography classes at the New School in New York City.

Arbus’ teacher, Lisette Model, influenced her in many ways. She showed Diane how to use a camera like an expert. She also taught Diane to use her art to face her doubts and fears. Miss Model once said that Diane soon started “not listening to me but suddenly listening to herself.”

41. Diane Arbus got her first camera ______.

閱讀理解。
     My bookshelves are full of dust-and with good reason. When it comes to cleaning that part of my
home, I suffer from the most serious case of avoidance (回避反應癥).
     The thing is this: when I do set out to clean and re-organize my books, which seldom happens, I
place myself into a really bad situation. No sooner do I take a title from the shelf, blow off the dust, and
wipe down the cover than I find myself sitting on the floor with legs crossed and my back against the
wall. Pretty soon books get piled up on my legs as I am reunited with old friends.
     It is as if these books have voices, and each wants to say its piece. "Remember me? I was given to
you when you went into the Navy, so that you would never lack for companionship," one whispers.
Another says, "I was your first book of poems, given to you before you learned to love poetry." And
a third, "I was the book that made history so attractive to you."
     Perhaps the greatest pleasure of re-organizing my books are the surprises - or better said,
reunions-that occur. During my latest book-cleaning adventure, I found one that had fallen behind the
shelf: "Tales of Edgar Allan Poe." Not an unusual title, but the words written on the first page made it
very special: "With Love from Mom and Dad, Christmas 1965." What's this? A book on the physics
of lasers().It is filled with mathematical statements, and I had bought it at a library sale when I was 12,
not long after the laser had been invented. I couldn't understand a bit of it, but I did learn what "laser"
meant.
     What I end up with when I empty my bookshelves is a cross-section (橫剖面) of my personal
history. It's like a road cut where one sees all the layers of rock going back through time to the beginning
of the simplest life forms. The books I've read-and kept-are not just old friends. They are my résumé ?
1.What could be said about the author?
A. He is too busy to tidy up his bookshelves.  
B. He considers his books treasured possessions.
C. He has made a lot of notes in his books.    
D. He is a lover of science books.
2. By saying that his books have voices, the author means            .
A. hey bring back happy memories  
B. they are recorded in human voice
C. they say a lot about human history  
D. they offer good topics for discussion
3.What does the author enjoy most from re-organizing his books?
A. Finding some missing books.          
B. Putting books in good order.
C. Learning something new from the books.
D. Rediscovering interesting stories behind some books.
4. The underlined word "résumé" in the last paragraph probably means __________.
A. personal history  
B. precious notes
C. good companion
D. imply life forms
