11、 each other in bad weather.A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned7. Volunteering is one way to begin a photography career.A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned答案与题解：1. B 在第二段第三行，作者提到贝尔特曾经为英格兰湖区的美景拍过照片.那她自然就去过英格兰。因此，这一题题干的表述( 贝尔特从没去过英格兰) 明显是错误的。2. A 第一段第三行说到南极洲是贝尔特唯一没亲眼见过的大洲，那么她必然没去过南极洲。所以这一题题干的表述（贝尔特从没去过南极
12、洲) 是正确的。3. C 第一段第一行提到贝尔特从1978 年就开始为国家地理杂志工作，但是并无其他信息，所以我们无从得知在1978 年之前. 贝尔特是否还为其他杂志工作过。所以我们既没法说贝尔特只为国家地理一家杂志工作过，也没法说贝尔特在很多家杂志工作过。因而，我们无法在文中找到这一题题干所表述的信息( 贝尔特在很多家杂志工作过)，答案只能是C。4. A 在第二段第二行，作者提到贝尔特曾经在约旦的古城佩特拉进行过拍摄，这迎合题干的表述(佩特拉是一座古老的约旦城市)。所以答案为A。5. B 在第三段第一行第二句话，作者提到：在语言不通的情况下，贝尔特找到了和不同年龄、不同民族的人沟通的方法。而
13、魍千中的表述(贝尔特只能和会说英语的人沟通)和文中的信息完全不符，所以答案为B。6. A 在第四段第七行，作者提到：一起体验坏天气可以帮助人们增进相互间的交流。这和题干的表述（人们在坏天气下可以相互沟通)基本一致.所以答案为A。7. A 第五段第一行提到贝尔特为希望从事摄影行业的人提供了一些建议：当个志愿者为没钱请专业摄影师的地方机构拍摄照片。这和题干的表述(做一名志愿者是开始摄影生涯的一种方式）基本吻合，所以答案为A。第十二篇 Starting a New Tradition Shantelle Davis is a nine-year-old gir1 in New York. On a
14、cold night in December, her family is standing around the kitchen table while she lights a candle. The table is decorated with baskets of fruits and vegetables and ears of corn for Shantelle and her two brothers.

15、. Thats the most important thing for a family. Tonight is the first night of Kwanzaa, and Shantelle is spending me holiday with her family. More than 5 million African Americans celebrate Kwanzaa every year from December 26 until January 1. Its a time when they get together with their families to think about their history and their ancestors in Africa. Kwanzaa is very unusual because it was started by one man.
