7."A Long Walk Home"---life as Eli Reed saw it.
American photographer and photojournalist Eli Reed has been documenting"life as I saw it"for more than 40years.His career retrospective (回顧),"Eli Reed:A Long Walk Home",is an extraordinary search of beauty while recording hardship.With a heart of love,Reed uses a style that uncovers humanity at every turn.According to Reed,"A Long Walk Home"is about what it means to be a human being.It all began with a photo he took of his mother and his memory of her smile.
Raised in New Jersey,Reed was originally a painter.Primarily self-taught in photography,he became a freelance (自由的) photographer in 1970.After producing some impressive photos that drew much attention,he joined the famous company Magnum Photos---the first black photographer invited to do so.
His photos are remarkable in their lack of judgment of the people or the situations he comes across.In Beirut,Lebanon,a man removes a tree branch from a car in a recently bombed parking lot.An old man wrapped in a sheet plays a drum in front of a sign reading"God Is the Way"while National Guardsmen lift their guns during a war in Miami.A young boy upside down with his legs in the air in a Kenyan refugee camp,his determined look faces the camera.In Harlem,New York,a group of laughing children take over an abandoned car,using it as a jungle gym.
Reed's camera smiles.His images show how humans cope,rise above,and carry on.This is what gives"A Long Walk Home"its power.Considering the places Reed has been to,there are very few photos of guns or obvious violence.Instead,Reed focuses on the varied human responses to hardship.
We smile along with Reed in a gesture of compassion.We recognize our fellow human beings.

17.As students and teachers returned to school on Monday after the publication of performance ratings(等級(jí)) for 18,000 teachers,many parents said they were giving the reports serious thought.Yet there was an equal measure of skepticism among parents that test scores have any relationship with teachers'competence.
Some said they already knew how good a teacher was by walking into the classroom or by monitoring their children's progress."I'm the kind of person who likes to see for themselves,"a father in Queens said.
Others worried about how their fellow parents,perhaps ones with sharper elbows,might respond.Will they demand a new teacher?Move their children to a new school?
Elizabeth Sane,the mother of a fourth grader at the Ella Baker School,a kindergarten-through-eighth-grade school on the Upper East Side,said that her daughter was switched to a different teacher's class over the summer,and that it was"like adding salt to the wound"when she saw the high ratings for her daughter's previous teacher.Her daughter's teacher this year did not receive a rating because he previously taught high school.
Ms.Sane said that the rating was not the only factor that influenced how she assessed a teacher's performance,but that the data used for teacher evaluations mattered.
But other parents dropping their children off at the Ella Baker School said they did not trust teacher ratings based on test scores any more than they wanted their children's learning measured only by the state exams.
"Some people take it as the final word,but it doesn't change who they are as teachers.The ratings aren't accurate,and the whole student testing thing needs to be thrown out,"said Lydia Delgado,whose child is in the second grade.
 
41.Paragraph 1 tells us thatD
A.All the teachers received a rating given by the students.
B.All the teachers will receive a rating at the end of each semester,
C.Most parents took the teachers'ratings seriously.
D.About half of the parents doubted the ratings to be reliable.
42.What does the underlined part"with sharper elbows"mean?A
A.With the ability to change the situation.
B.With a good relationship with the school.
C.With a stong will to succeed.
D.With strong elbows physically.
43.Paragraph 4 shows that Elizabeth SaneB 
A.was on the side of giving ratings to the teachers.
B.regretted having sent her daughter to another class.
C.didn't think her daughter's previous teacher was better.
D.wanted her daughter to return to her previous class.
44.Which of the following statements is true?A
A.The teacher ratings were decided by the test scores of the students.
B.Ms.Sane evaluated a teacher's performance only by the rating.
C.Lydia Delgado didn't think the students'scores should be kept.
D.To give ratings to teachers will come to an end in the near future.
45.The attitude of the author towards the way to assess teachers'competence isD.
A.supportive         B.critical
C.indifferent        D.objective.

2.The summer of 2001saw.Australians win the Cycling Tour de France,beat the world at cricket and rugby,and have a player in the final of the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament for the eighteenth time.
Many countries would be amazed at that kind of success.For Australia,it was just a typical sporting summer.At the 2000Olympics,Australia came fourth in the medals table.That does not sound great,yet Australia has a population of only 19million.There are more Olympic medal winners per head of population in Australia than any other country.
What is it that makes Australians a sporting people?This is a question that many people participating in sports have asked themselves over the years.
Some of the answers are simple.Sports need space.Australians have 7.4million square kilometers of space to play sports in.Many other countries are either too crowded or too small to encourage everybody to take part.Besides that,Australia is a warm,dry country.This encourages people to go outdoors to enjoy themselves.Furthermore,since 85percent of Australians live near the sea,they learn water sport early; and since sharks swim off the coasts of Australia,they also learn to swim very fast.
Other reasons go deep into the history,culture and economy of the country.When the British first found Australia they decided that it would be a great place to send criminals to.Life for the first Australians was very tough,so they had to be independent and develop a will to win just to survive.Yet they also had to be able to trust each other and be willing to help each other out.In other countries,coaches train people in mental toughness and team building.In Australia,these qualities are part of the general social environment.
From the cultural perspective,being far away from Europe also means that Australians are far away from the centers of Western arts and cultures.As a result,sport itself has become a way of cultural expression and part of Australian nationality.An English football fan wants to see the national team do well,but really cares about his local club.For an Australian,representing the nation is the most important of all.Everything else is just good practice.Being good at sports is part of what it means to be an Australian.

55.What can we learn from Para.2?D
A.Australia has the most medal winners in the world.
B.The achievement made in 2001is abnormal for Australia.
C.Australia has a smaller population than any other country.
D.The performance of Australia in sports is great in relation to its population.
56.According to Para.4,the following factors make Australians a sporting people EXCEPTC.
A.climate            B.playground
C.a(chǎn)dvertisement         D.geography
57.Supposing you are an English football fan,you are most delighted thatB.
A.you will watch a live football match
B.the club you support wins the match
C.you will see a football star in the flesh
D.the national team defeats its competitor
58.In the following paragraph,the author is probably toA.
A.explain the reason in economy
B.introduce the sports stars in clubs
C.foresee the future of sports in Australia
D.describe the competition in the Olympics.
