Question

【題目】Looking at life differently

When I was 14, life was boring.

However, I didn’t mind having the same views (風景) every day. And even though my school had over a thousand students, I didn’t really care to notice the differences between us all.

But this boring view of mine _______ when my parents bought me a camera for Christmas. After a month of playing with my new camera, I realized I had no _______ for taking pictures. Even though I got friends to pose (擺姿勢) in front of ancient buildings and in flowery fields, nothing seemed to _______. My photos were clearly missing something of importance and had no creativity. After a while, I dropped my new hobby.

Then, a month or two later, I suddenly decided to pick it up again. During the summer break, I went for a walk on the railroad tracks (鐵軌) behind my house.

The tracks are a warm red color. Before the walk, I thought, “Maybe I should bring my camera.”

Surprisingly, this _______was what began my love for photography. When I was walking on the tracks without a model and only nature around me, I realized how important it was to look at the details (細節(jié)) of things. I didn’t worry about trying to _______ something beautiful. Instead, I just took photos of the beauty already around me.

I quickly ________ about color, lighting, shape and everything in between. After months of studying outdoor sights and looking at people’s eyes, I was _______ able to create beauty of my own. Slowly, my photos became something I was proud of.

So far, my works have appeared in two magazines and been shown in two different museums. They’re not huge achievements, but they’re important to me. And they’re the ______ of how much my artistic abilities have grown.

Thanks to this Christmas gift from my parents, I now have a new way of looking at the world.

【解析】

文章大意：本文是一篇記敘文，父母給作者買了一個相機作為圣誕禮物，開始的時候作者拍攝的照片很失敗，作者認為自己沒有藝術(shù)天賦，于是放棄了攝影。后來作者無意中對生活有了新的領(lǐng)悟：美好事物就在自己身邊。隨之而來作者的藝術(shù)理解力也有了提高，最終作品被雜志出版了。

【1】句意：但當我父母給我買了一臺相機作為圣誕禮物時，我的這種無聊的看法改變了。本題考查動詞。文章第一段提到“生活很無聊，第二段中提到即使我們學校有1000多名學生，我也并沒有注意到我們之間有什么不同”，而在第三段的轉(zhuǎn)折詞“but”說明作者無聊的生活發(fā)生了改變。選項A譯為“出現(xiàn)”；選項B譯為“改變”；選項C譯為“發(fā)展，培養(yǎng)”；選項D譯為“仍然，繼續(xù)”。故正確答案為選項B。

【2】句意：玩了一個月的新相機后，我意識到我沒有拍照的天賦。本題考查名詞。前文提到“在擺弄了相機一個月之后”和后文的“My photos were clearly missing something of importance and had no creativity.”可知作者意識到自己在攝影方面沒有天賦和才華。選項A譯為“天賦，才華”；選項B譯為“愿望”；選項C譯為“時間”；選項D譯為“計劃”。根據(jù)文章語境判斷，故正確答案為選項A。

【3】句意：盡管我讓朋友在古建筑前面和鮮花盛開的田野里擺姿勢，但似乎都無濟于事、不起作用。本題考查動詞。前文中提到盡管我讓朋友在古建筑前面和絢麗的田野里擺姿勢, 說明和后面的nothing seemed to前后邏輯表示轉(zhuǎn)折，譯為“似乎都無濟于事，不起作用”。選項A譯為“失去”；選項B譯為“傷害”；選項C譯為“成長，生長”；選項D 譯為“起作用，工作”。根據(jù)文章語境判斷，故正確答案為選項D。

【4】句意：令人驚訝的是，這次散步開始了我對攝影的熱愛。本題考查名詞。根據(jù)上文中“before the walk”和下文中的“when I was walking”，本題是名詞復現(xiàn)。選項A譯為“顏色”；選項B譯為“房子”；選項C譯為“散步”；選項D譯為“相機”。根據(jù)文章語境判斷，故正確答案為選項C。

【5】句意：我不需要擔心去創(chuàng)造一些美麗的東西。本題考查動詞。前文提到，當作者在鐵軌上行走而且沒有模特的時候，他的周圍只有大自然。后文提到，我只需要拍攝我周圍已有的美景就可以了。因為前文和后文都提到了“大自然”和“已有的美景”，所以是不需要再去“創(chuàng)造”美景。選項A譯為“復制，抄襲”；選項B譯為“做記號，打分數(shù)”；選項C譯為“創(chuàng)造”；選項D譯為“保護”。根據(jù)文章語境判斷，故正確答案為選項C。

【6】句意：我很快就迷上了顏色、燈光、形狀以及這兩者之間的一切。本題考查形容詞。上文提到“令人驚訝的是，這次散步開始了我對攝影的熱愛。”所以應該是對攝影相關(guān)的事情非常喜愛，非常癡迷。選項A譯為“瘋狂的，著迷的”；選項B譯為“緊張的”；選項C譯為“擔心的”；選項D譯為“自豪的”。根據(jù)文章語境判斷，又因為“be crazy about”為固定搭配，譯為“著迷于……，瘋狂愛好……”故正確答案為選項A。

【7】句意：我終于能夠創(chuàng)造出屬于我自己的美麗。本題考查副詞。前文提到，作者很快就對攝影相關(guān)的色彩、光線、形狀和與之相關(guān)的所有事情著迷。“在幾個月的對于室外風景的研究以及觀察人們的眼神之后，我______能夠創(chuàng)造屬于自己的美麗”。因為上文提到一開始作者拍攝風景的時候不需要創(chuàng)造自己的風景，所以經(jīng)過幾個月的學習之后，最終能夠拍攝，或者說創(chuàng)造出屬于自己的美麗。選項A譯為“可能”；選項B譯為“很快， 快速地”；選項C譯為“立即、馬上”；選項D譯為“最終、終于”。 根據(jù)文章語境判斷，故正確答案為選項D。

【8】句意：這些都是我藝術(shù)能力提高的標志。本題考查名詞。前文提到，“目前為止，我的作品已經(jīng)出現(xiàn)在兩家雜志并且在兩家不同的博物館展出。這不是巨大的成就, 但是對于我來說很重要。它們是我藝術(shù)能力提高的____。對于一個攝影師來說，作品的展出就是藝術(shù)能力提高的一種標志”。選項A譯為“標準”；選項B譯為“標志”；選項C譯為“方式、方法”；選項D譯為“價格”。根據(jù)文章語境判斷，故正確答案為選項B。

解答完形填空首先要通讀全文，掌握大意。結(jié)合選項初步弄清短文寫了些什么內(nèi)容。在理解全文意思的基礎上，結(jié)合文章內(nèi)容對空缺句子作合乎邏輯的推理。必須弄清空缺詞句的確切含義，空缺詞句與其前后句的意義銜接必須自然、合理，最后根據(jù)語境，結(jié)合選項，選出正確答案。如，第2小題，根據(jù)前文提到“在擺弄了相機一個月之后”和后文的“My photos were clearly missing something of importance and had no creativity.”可知作者意識到自己在攝影方面沒有天賦和才華。故答案選A。第4小題，根據(jù)上文中“before the walk”和下文中的“when I was walking”，此處是名詞復現(xiàn)，根據(jù)文章語境判斷，故答案選C。
