Robert Capa is a name that has for many years been associated with war photography. Born in Hungary in 1913,Capa was forced to leave his native country after his involvement in anti-government protests.Capa had originally wanted to become a writer,but after his arrival in Berlin he first found work as a photographer.He later left Germany and moved to France and it was here that he changed his name to Robert Capa,mainly because he thought it would sound more American. In 1936,after the breakout of the Spanish Civil War,Capa went to Spain and it was here that he built his reputation as a war photographer.It was here too in 1936 that he took one of his most famous pictures,The Death of a Loyalist Soldier.One of Capa’s most famous quotes was“If your pictures aren’t good enough,you’re not close enough.”And he took his attitude of getting close to the action to an extreme.His photograph,The Death of a Loyalist Soldier is a prime example of this as Capa captures the very moment the soldier falls.However,many have questioned the reality of this photograph,claiming that it was staged. When World War II broke out,Capa was in New York,but he was soon back in Europe covering the War for Life magazine.Some of his most famous work was created on 6th June 1944.Capa,armed only with two cameras,took more than one hundred photographs in the first hour of the Normandy landing(诺曼底登陆),but a mistake in the darkroom during the drying of the film destroyed all but eight frames.It was the images from these frames,however,that inspired the visual style of Steven Spielberg’s Oscar winning movie Saving Private Ryan. 小题1:Capa originally wanted to be ____________.A.a journalist | B.a writer | C.an American | D.a photographer | 小题2:Why did Capa change his name?A.To hide his identity. | B.Because he had been involved in protests. | C.To sound more American. | D.Because he had to leave Hungary. | 小题3:Capa went to Spain to ________________.A.fight in the civil war | B.build his reputation | C.have a holiday | D.take photographs | 小题4:Capa’s famous picture Death of a Loyalist Soldier _______________.A.was taken by someone else | B.was definitely real | C.wasn’t even taken in Spain | D.cannot be proven real or staged | 小题5:A mistake meant that ______________.A.most of Capa’s images of the Normandy landing were destroyed | B.Capa lost both of his two cameras | C.Capa’s images inspired an Oscar winning movie | D.only one hundred of Capa’s photographs were published |

Like most Oregonians, Stephanie McRae was used to driving in bad weather. Although rain still beat the window of her car, the worst of the day’s storm seemed to have passed as she drove her 11-year-old daughter, Maggie, home from a church at 8:30 p.m. Two little children sat into their car seats in back. When crossing over Fawcett Creek (小河), McRae found the road just ahead had been washed away. The storm had turned Fawcett Creek into a 100-feet-wide river. Water began to go into the car and the four of them had to climb onto the car’s roof. The car was floating about and was being swept toward the Tillamook River only a few miles ahead. Suddenly it stopped when hitting a logjam (浮木阻塞).The water swept over them, rising higher and higher. Stephanie screamed into the rainy night, almost crying. “Mom, I have to go and get help,” her 11-year-old daughter Maggie cried. Stephanie realized if she went by herself, Maggie couldn’t hold on to the other two babies. But Maggie was still recovering from foot surgery. How could she manage? Finally she shouted, “I’m proud of you. Be careful!” As Maggie McRae struggled to reach the shore, she was all wet. The sixth grader started running to the nearest house. Inside, the neighbors immediately called 911 and were told that firefighters were making their way toward another trapped car. Maggie joined the neighbors, and helped the rescue team point out where her mother was. The firefighters saved McRae and her children by using a 35-foot-long ladder. When Stephanie reached land in safety, Maggie raced into her mother’s arms. “She hugged me for five minutes,” Maggie remembers. Maggie accepted an award for her heroism, but she’s happier to get back to her sports team and her family. 小题1:What can we infer from the passage?A.Without the logjam, McRae’s car would have been swept into the Tillamook River. | B.The rain became heavier when McRae drove home. | C.McRae’s car was the only vehicle that was blocked in the Fawcett Creek that night. | D.Most of the time the weather in Oregon is quite good. | 小题2:Stephanie McRae’s screaming on the car’s roof suggested that she felt ______.A.surprised | B.helpless | C.disappointed | D.careless | 小题3:According to the passage, we can infer that Maggie ______.A.was strong enough to hold the two children in the water | B.tried to swim to the bank in order to get help | C.stopped her sports activities due to her foot injury | D.rescued her family using a ladder | 小题4:Which of the following is in the correct order of events? ①Firefighters rescued McRae and her children from the river. ②Firefighters were sent to the broken road. ③The neighbors Maggie found called 911. ④The rescue team had got informed of the trouble at Fawcett Creek. ⑤Another trapped car was found in the river by the firefighters.A.④②③⑤① | B.④③②①⑤ | C.③④②①⑤ | D.③④②⑤① | 小题5:What is the passage mainly about?A.A heavy storm that damaged a road and killed lots of drivers. | B.A brave young girl who helped save her family from flood. | C.Firefighters who rescued a family late at night from flood. | D.Great neighbors who saved people swept away into a river. |
