One of the looters, Chief Auda abu Tayi of the
33、Howeitat clan, suddenly notices the camera and snatches it. “Am I in this?“ he asks, before smashing it open. To the dismayed reporter, Lawrence explains, “He thinks these things will steal his virtue. He thinks youre a kind of thief.“As soon as colonizers and explorers began taking cameras into dis
34、tant lands, stories began circulating about how indigenous peoples saw them as tools for black magic. The “ignorant natives“ may have had a point. When photography first became available, scientists welcomed it as a more objective way of recording faraway societies than early travelers exaggerated a
35、ccounts. But in some ways, anthropological photographs reveal more about the culture that holds the camera than the one that stares back. Up into the 1950s and 1960s, many ethnographers sought “pure“ pictures of “primitive“ cultures, routinely deleting modern accoutrements such as clocks and Western
36、 dress. They paid men and women to re-enact rituals or to pose as members of war or hunting parties, often with little regard for veracity. Edward Curtis, the legendary photographer of North American Indians, for example, got one Makah man to pose as a whaler with a spear in 1915 even though the Mak
37、ah had not hunted whales in a generation.These photographs reinforced widely accepted stereotypes that indigenous cultures were isolated, primitive, and unchanging. For instance, National Geographic magazines photographs have taught millions of Americans about other cultures. As Catherine Lutz and J
38、ane Collins point out in their 1993 book Reading National Geographic, the magazine since its founding in 1888 has kept a tradition of presenting beautiful photos that dont challenge white, middle-class American conventions. While dark-skinned women can be shown without tops, for example, white women
39、s breasts are taboo. Photos that could unsettle or disturb, such as areas of the world torn asunder by war or famine, are discarded in favor of those that reassure to conform with the societys stated pledge to present only “kindly“ visions of foreign societies. The result, Lutz and Collins say, is t
40、he depiction of “an idealized and exotic world relatively free of pain or class conflict.“Lutz actually likes National Geographic a lot. She read the magazine as a child, and its lush imagery influenced her eventual choice off anthropology as a career. She just thinks that as people look at the phot
41、ographs of other cultures, they should be alert to the choice of composition and images.61 Whats the main idea of the passage?（A）Photographs taken by Western explorers reflect more Westerners perception of the indigenous cultures and the Western values.（B） There is a complicated relationship between
42、 the Western explorers and the primitive peoples.（C） Popular magazines such as National Geographic should show pictures of the exotic and idealized worlds to maintain high sales.（D）Anthropologists ask the natives to pose for their pictures, compromising the truthfulness of their pictures.62 We can i
43、nfer from the passage that early travelers to the native lands often_.（A）took pictures with the natives（B） gave exaggerated accounts of the native lands（C） ask for pictures from the natives（D）gave the natives clocks and Western dresses63 The author mentions the movie Lawrence of Arabia to_.（A）show h
44、ow people in the indigenous societies are portrayed by Westerners.（B） illustrate how people from primitive societies see cameras as tools of black magic that steal their virtues.（C） show how anthropologists portray untruthful pictures of native people.（D）show the cruel and barbarian side of the nati
45、ve people.64 “But in some ways, anthropological photographs reveal more about the culture that holds the camera than the one that stares back.“ In this sentence, the “one culture that stares back“ refers to_.（A）the indigenous culture（B） the Western culture（C） the academic culture（D）the news business
46、 culture65 With which of the following statements would Catherine Lutz most probably agree?（A）Reporters from the Western societies should routinely delete modern elements in pictures taken of the indigenous societies.（B） The primitive cultures are inferior to the more advanced Western culture.（C） Th
47、e western media are not presenting a realistic picture of the faraway societies.（D）People in the Western news business should try not to challenge the well-established white middle-class values.65 Having a few too many drinks can mean more than just a blackout or a bad hangover. People who engage in
48、 binge drinking are courting danger, experts warn.Binge drinking is most common at colleges and universities, where many adults treat drinking to excess as a rite of passage. A 1997 study from the Harvard School of Public Health reports that 42.7% of all college students engage in binge drinking. Th
49、e well-publicized deaths of several college students from binge drinking in 1997 highlights the risks.An 18-year-old freshman at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology drank himself into a coma and died. A 20-year-old fraternity pledge at Louisiana State University died from alcohol poisoning.“Alcohol is always toxic. Its really a poison,“ said Steven Schandler, professor of psychology at Chapman University and chief of addiction research at the Long Be
