25、small camera was invented in 1685, but it was just a camera. It was a long time before people figured out how to make the right kind of paper for photographs. Modern photography, as we know it, really came into being in the 19th century, around the year 1865, to be exact. In the late 1800s and early
26、 1900s, photography really took off. Several types of cameras were invented during the time, and photographers also came up with new and better ways to take pictures. Photography became a form of art. Although most people think photographs show real things, photography also changed peoples ideas abo
27、ut modern art. Modern art developed in the late 19th century, around the time of the invention of photographs. Modem art was different from other kinds of art because modern art paintings did not try to show “realistic“ pictures. For example, artists of modern art often produced paintings that looke
28、d different from a real picture. Photography was perfect for producing modern art. For example , a photographer could focus on the subject of a picture and make it look very clear, while other parts of the picture were not in focus and therefore looked fuzzy. In this way, photographers could make pi
29、ctures look less realistic. We are now living in the time of postmodern art. Postmodern art developed in the late 1950s and has allowed for further changes in the world of art. In the case of photography, computers have changed a lot about the way that photographs are made and viewed. For example, a
30、 photographer can now take pictures using a digital camera. These pictures can be saved on a computer and changed using a computer program. In this way, the photographer can change the colors and many other aspects of a photograph. For example, the photographer can change all of the colors in a phot
31、ograph to light or dark red, or he or she can make photographs darker or lighter. These kinds of treatment can create interesting effects. Computers are also changing the way people share photographs. In the past, a photographer had to put his photos in a book, called an album, to show his photograp
32、hs to lots of people. Now, with the Internet, photographers can share their photographs with thousands of people quickly and easily! This means that even teenagers can create interesting photographs as a kind of art to share with people around the world. Questions 56 to 60Fill in the blanks below wi
33、th information from the passage, using no more than three words for each blank. （分数：10.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空项 1:_Read the following passage. Choose from the sentences AG the one which best fits each gap of 61 65. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use. All these activ
34、ities may have damaging environmental impacts. For example, land clearing for agriculture is the largest single cause of deforestation: chemical fertilizers and pesticides may contaminate water supplies: more intensive farming and the abandonment of fallow periods tend to exacerbate soil erosion: an
35、d the spread of monoculture and use of high-yielding varieties of crops have been accompanied by the disappearance of old varieties of food plants which might have provided some insurance against pests or diseases in future. 1The United States, where the most careful measurements have been done, dis
36、covered in 1982 that about one-fifth of its farmland was losing topsoil at a rate likely to diminish the soils productivity. The country subsequently embarked upon a program to convert 11 percent of its cropped land to meadow or forest. Topsoil in India and China is vanishing much faster than in A-m
37、erica. 2In the rich countries, subsidies for growing crops and price supports for farm output drive up the price of land. The annual value of these subsidies is immense: about $250 billion, or more than all World Bank lending in the 1980s. To increase the output of crops per acre, a farmers easiest
38、option is to use more of the most readily available inputs: fertilisers and pesticides. Fertiliser use doubled in Denmark in the period 19601985 and increased in the Netherlands by 150 percent. The quantity of pesticides applied has risen too: by 69 percent in 19751984 in Denmark, for example, with
39、a rise of 115 percent in the frequency of application in the three years from 1981. 3The most dramatic example was that of New Zealand, which scrapped most farm support in 1984. A study of the environmental effects, conducted in 1993, found that the end of fertiliser subsidies had been followed by a
40、 fall in fertiliser use(a fall compounded by the decline in world commodity prices, which cut farm incomes). The removal of subsidies also stopped land-clearing and over-stocking, which in the past had been the principal causes of erosion. Farms began to diversify. The one kind of subsidy whose remo
41、val appeared to have been bad for the environment was the subsidy to manage soil erosion. 4Such countries also try and to introduce new payments to encourage farmers to treat their land in environmentally friendlier ways, or to leave it fallow. It may sound strange but such payments need to be highe
42、r than the existing incentives for farmers to grow food crops. Farmers , however, dislike being paid to do nothing. In several countries they have become interested in the possibility of using fuel produced from crop residues either as a replacement for petrol(as etha-nol)or as fuel for power statio
43、ns(as biomass). Such fuels produce far less carbon dioxide than coal or oil, and absorb carbon dioxide as they grow. 5But they are rarely competitive with fossil fuels unless subsidizedand growing them does no less environmental harm than other crops. Questions 61 to 65:A. Soil erosion threatens the
44、 productivity of land in both rich and poor countries.B. To reduce environmental damages, government have to adopt various methods.C. They are therefore less likely to contribute to the greenhouse effect.D. Government policies have frequently compounded the environmental damage that farming can caus
45、e.E. In less enlightened countries, and in the European Union, the trend has been to reduce rather than eliminate subsidies.F. In the late 1980s and early 1990s some efforts were made to reduce farm subsidies.G. Although all of them can produce poisonous gas through burning.（分数：10.00）填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填
