阅读理解：
Photographs are everywhere. They decorate the walls of homes and are used in stores for sales of different goods. The news is filled with pictures of fires, floods, and special events. Photos record the beauties of nature. They can also bring things close that are far away. Through photos, people can see wild animals, cities in foreign lands, and even the stars in outer space. Photos also tell stories.Reporting the news through photos is called photojournalism. At times photojournalists tell their stories through a single picture. At other times, they use a group of pictures to tell a story. Each picture is like a chapter in a book, which can do more than record the facts. It can also be a strong force for social change.Jacob Riis was among the first photojournalists. He took pictures of parts of New York City where the poor lived. Riis believed that poverty　caused crime, and he used photos to help him prove his point. A few years later, the photos of small children working in factories by Lewis Hine shocked the public. Hine’s pictures helped bring about laws to protect such children.Hundreds of pictures may have to be taken in order to get one or two really good photos. It takes science to have the photo come out clearly and art to make a photo that has a good design and expresses feeling. Photojournalists make an actual record of what they see. A photo, however, can be both a work of art and an actual record. It can record an important event as a beautiful or exciting picture.As historical and artistic documents, photos can become more important over time. Today photojournalists still have their pictures appear in newspapers and magazines. They also publish them in books and on the Internet.1. The underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refers to .A. beautiesB. photosC. goodsD. events2. The photos of the small children by Hine show us that photos________.A. are also works of artB. are popular ways of reporting newsC. often shock the publicD. can serve as a force for social change3. The text is mainly about_______.A. telling the story through pictureB. decorating the walls of homesC. publishing historical papersD. expressing feeling through pictures



答案解析：

1.解析：B正确第一段划线的they指什么？代词肯定是指上文已出现的东西啦，Photos record the beauties of nature. They can also bring things close that are far away.前面句子的主语就是they指代的对象

2.解析：D正确海因拍摄的孩子的照片向我们展示了照片怎么样？the photos of small children working in factories by Lewis Hine shocked the public. Hine’s pictures helped bring about laws to protect such children.海因的照片反响很大，甚至为此出台了儿童保护法，这正是上文所提到的改变社会的力量：It can also be a strong force for social change.其他都是与文章主旨无关的

3.解析：A正确这篇文章主要讲的是什么？Picure或者photo是关键词。第一段的最后一句话Photos also tell stories.起引起下文的作用。而文章也是在告诉我们图片的作用。D项是图片的作用之一，不能以偏概全。

参考译文：照片四处可见。它们装饰家庭墙壁，用于商店销售的不同物品上。新闻中充斥着火灾，洪水和特殊事件的图片。照片记录下自然的美丽。它们可以将远方的事物带到咫尺。通过图片，人们可以看见野生动物，国外的城市，甚至外太空的星星。照片也可以讲故事。用照片报道新闻被称为摄影报道。有时摄影记者仅用一张图片来讲述他们的故事。有时，他们使用一组图片来讲述一个故事。每一张图片就像一本书的每个章节，它们的作用远不止记录事实。还能改变社会的强大力量。雅各布•里斯是首批摄影记者之一。他拍摄了美国的贫民窟。里斯认为贫穷滋生犯罪，他用相片证明自己的观点。几年之后，路易斯•海因拍下工厂中工作的年幼孩童，这些照片震惊了社会。海因的图片促使保护这样的孩子的法律的出台。可能要拍下数以百计的照片才能从中挑出一到两张真正的好图片。使用科技使照片显示清晰，而艺术使得照片有设计感，传达人们的情感。摄影记者们真实记录他们所见。现在摄影记者的照片依然会出现在报纸和杂志上。他们也在图书和因特网上发表照片。
