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, re
26、ally came into being in the 19th century, around the year 1865, to be exact. In the late 1800s and early 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
27、art. Although most people think photographs show real things, photography also changed peoples ideas about 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
28、try to show “realistic“ pictures. For example, artists of modern art often produced paintings that looked 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 par
29、ts of the picture were not in focus and therefore looked fuzzy. In this way, photographers could make pictures 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 phot
30、ography, computers have changed a lot about the way that photographs are made and viewed. For example, a 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
31、many other aspects of a photograph. For example, the photographer can change all of the colors in a photograph 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 photogra
32、phs. In the past, a photographer had to put his photos in a book, called an album, to show his photographs 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 photograp
33、hs as a kind of art to share with people around the world. Questions 56 to 60Fill in the blanks below with information from the passage, using no more than three words for each blank.50 Read the following passage. Choose from the sentences AG the one which best fits each gap of 61 65. There are two
34、extra sentences which you do not need to use. All these activities 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 aban
35、donment of fallow periods tend to exacerbate soil erosion: and 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. 【 R1】 _The Uni
36、ted States, where the most careful measurements have been done, discovered 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 fore
37、st. Topsoil in India and China is vanishing much faster than in A-merica. 【 R2】 _In 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 i
38、n the 1980s. To increase the output of crops per acre, a farmers easiest 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 applie
39、d has risen too: by 69 percent in 19751984 in Denmark, for example, with a rise of 115 percent in the frequency of application in the three years from 1981. 【 R3】 _The most dramatic example was that of New Zealand, which scrapped most farm support in 1984. A study of the environmental effects, condu
40、cted in 1993, found that the end of fertiliser subsidies had been followed by a 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
41、causes of erosion. Farms began to diversify. The one kind of subsidy whose removal appeared to have been bad for the environment was the subsidy to manage soil erosion. 【 R4】 _Such countries also try and to introduce new payments to encourage farmers to treat their land in environmentally friendlier
42、 ways, or to leave it fallow. It may sound strange but such payments need to be higher 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 cro
43、p residues either as a replacement for petrol(as etha-nol)or as fuel for power stations(as biomass). Such fuels produce far less carbon dioxide than coal or oil, and absorb carbon dioxide as they grow. 【 R5】 _But they are rarely competitive with fossil fuels unless subsidizedand growing them does no
44、 less environmental harm than other crops. Questions 61 to 65: A. Soil erosion threatens the 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
45、. Government policies have frequently compounded the environmental damage that farming can cause. 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 subs
46、idies. G. Although all of them can produce poisonous gas through burning. 51 【 R1】 52 【 R2】 53 【 R3】 54 【 R4】 55 【 R5】 55 Although French, German, American and British pioneers have all been credited with the invention of cinema, the British and the Germans played a relatively small role in its worl
47、dwide exploitation. It was above all the French, followed closely by the Americans, who were the most passionate exporters of the new invention, helping to start cinema in China, Japan, Latin America and Russia. In terms of artistic development it was again the French and the Americans who took the
48、lead, though in the years before the First World War, Italy, Denmark and Russia also played a part. In the end it was the United States that was to become, and remain, the largest single market for films. By protecting their own market and pursuing a vigorous export policy, the Americans a-chieved a
49、 dominant position on the world market by the start of the First World War. The centre of film-making had moved westwards, to Hollywood, and it was films from these new Hollywood studios that flooded onto the worlds film markets in the years after the First World War, and have done so ever since. Faced with total Hollywood domination, few film industries proved competitive. The Italian industry, which had pionee
