The Komodo
lizard is the world's largest lizard(蜥蜴). It was not discovered until this century and was
named only in 1921. It was formerly found on three Indonesian islands: Komodo,
Rintja and Flores. By the 1930's, in spite of government protection, the
population of this great lizard had been reduced to a few hundred. It was,
however, still found on the three main islands and there were still lizards of
over 4 metres in length. By 1963, after a period of only fifty years since its
discovery, the entire population was based on Komodo. It is now unusual to see
one as long as 3 metres. The lizard's normal food consists mainly of wild goats
and pigs, animals which the islanders also hunt. This, of course, means that
the lizard often gets too little to eat. It will certainly die out soon its
hunting and breeding(繁殖) grounds are protected more effectively.

D
You would like to take good
photographs of real-life situations but you have few ideas for pictures. I
suggest you look around you. The everyday world is full of scenes being played
by an ever-changing group of actors. You probably passed a dozen picture
situations without noticing on your way to work this morning.
The realistic approach to
photograph has been perfected in the past by such maters as Henri
Cartier-Bresson and Bill Brandt. But while you can learn a great deal from
looking at the work of others, any success you can hope to achieve in this field
has to come from developing an individual approach.
The main requirement for any
photographer has little to do with technical matters. You must develop an
awareness of the world around you and the people who live in it, and you should
learn to notice when a situation may develop to a point where you will be able
to take a good picture. Those who have reached this happy state will be
prepared when that moment comes, and will simply raise their camera quickly and
shoot. Others who are not so aware will be struggling with camera cases and
lens caps.
Film manufactures must be
delighted at the thought of the inexperienced photographer setting out in
search of the right situation and the right moment. Many miles of costly
material have passed through thousands of cameras as this endless search
continues. But although a lot of this waste must be put down to inexperience,
you'll find that even the professionals have to use a lot of film when they are
out shooting.
Not every shot is going to
be a winner. If you look at the work of even the best photographers, you'll
notice dozens of pictures have had to be taken only because they lead up to the
successful shot of a situation that the photographer has obviously been
observing through the lens. You may find that you have taken one or two
pictures after the right moment has passed as well. There is seldom more than
one shot which stands out. There is just one point where it all comes together,
and you often have to waste film to catch that precious moment.
52. According to the passage, one can become a better real-life photographer by
_____.
A. watching other
photographers at work
B. learning about famous
photographers
C. just taking a great many
photographs
D. developing skills and
ideas for yourself
53. The writer thinks that a photographer is required to _____.
A. go out and search for
unusual situations
B. be highly skilled in
camera techniques
C. be able to tell when a
good situation might come
D. have a camera which is
easy and quick to use
54. Most likely, to catch the right moment, one must _____.
A. take pictures without too
much preparation
B. take a whole series of
similar pictures
C. take great care to set up
the situation
D. take one picture just at
the right moment
55. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The waste of film in
photography is essential to the production of good pictures.
B. Film manufacturers
usually enjoy pictures by inexperienced photographers.
C. Only amateur photographers
waste film in taking pictures.
D.The waste of film, which
is the result of poor choice of subject, is expensive and
unnecessary.
56.
The passage is _____.
A. part of a book of camera instruction
B. an advertisement for film
C. a history of photography
D. an introduction to photography

Have you eaten too much over the holidays? You should try fidgeting for a while. Those around you might not like it, but scratching (moving your nails (指甲) against a part of your body) and twitching (moving suddenly and quickly when you don’ t want to) is an important way of burning up calories (卡路里).
American researchers have found that some people’s squirming (continuously turn your body when nervous) and wigging (move in small movements, especially from side to side) equals (等于) several miles of slow running each day.
The scientists, based at the National Institute of Health’s laboratory in Phenix, Arizona, are studying why some people get fat and others stay slim.
In one study 177 people each spent 24 hours in a room in the institute where the amount (量) of energy is measured by their oxygen and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) levels. By the end of the day, some people had burned up 800 calories in toe-tapping, (moving the front part of your foot up and down) finger-drumming (hitting your fingers continuously and lightly against something hard) and other nervous habits. However, others had burned up only 100 calories.
The researchers found that slim women fidget more than fat women, but there was no significant difference in men. Heavy people burn up more energy when they fidget than do thin people.
57. Which of the following can be used to explain the meaning of “fidgeting”?
A. scratching and twitching B. squirming and wigging
C. slow running D. moving one’s body nervously
58. We can know from the passage that scientists believe the reason why some people get fat and other people stay slim is that ____ .
A. thin people burn up less calories than fat people
B. fat people burn up more calories than thin people
C. those who burn up more calories than others will be thinner
D. those who fidget more than others will be thinner
59. Scientists found in the experiment that ____ .
A. the energy burned up by fat people when they fidget was more than that burned up by thin people when they fidget
B. some people’s fidgeting burned up more than 800 calories, but some people’s fidgeting burned up less than 100 calories
C. slim women fidget more than fat women but fat men fidget more than thin men
D. thin men fidget more than fat men
60. Scientists think a fidget habit to be ____ .
A. a way to lose fat
B. a nervous habit annoying(使讨厌) the people around
C. a better exercise than slow running
D. a habit of thin people
