5.Rae Armantrout,who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego(UCSD) for two decades,has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most recent book,"Versed".
"I'm delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings,as compared to even the National Book Critics Award,which I was also surprised and delighted to win,"said Armantrout.
"For a long time,my writing has been just below the media radar,and to have this kind of attention,suddenly,with my 10th book,is really surprising."
Armantrout,a native Californian,received her bachelor's degree at UC Berkeley,where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov,and her master's in creative writing from San Francisco State University.She is a founding member of Language Poets,a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think.
In March,she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for"Versed."
"This book has gotten more attention,"Armantrout said,"but I don't feel as if it's better."
The first half of"Versed"focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq.The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.
Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not."Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry,"said Seth Lerer,head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD.

15."Wanna buy a body?"That was the opening line of more than a few phone calls I got from self-employed photographers when I was a photo editor at U.S.News.Like many in the mainstream press,I wanted to separate the world of photographers into"them",who trade in pictures of bodies or run after famous people like Princess Diana,and"us",the serious newspeople.But after 16years in that role,I came to wonder whether the two worlds were easily distinguishable.
Working in the reputable world of journalism,I told photographers to cover other people's difficult life situations.I justified marching into moments of sadness,under the appearance of the reader's right to know.I worked with professionals talking their way into situations or shooting from behind police lines.And I wasn't alone.
In any American town,after a car crash or some other horrible incident when ordinary people are hurt or killed,you rarely see photographers pushing past rescue workers to take photos of the blood and injuries.But you are likely to see local newspaper and television photographers on the scene-and fast…
How can we justify doing this?Journalists are taught to separate,doing the job from worrying about the consequences of publishing what they record.Repeatedly,they are reminded of a news-business saying:Leave your conscience in the office,A victim may lie bleeding,unconscious,or dead.Your job is to record the image (图象).You're a photographer,not an emergency medical worker.You put away your feelings and document the scene.
But catastrophic events often bring out the worst in photographers and photo editors.In the first minutes and hours after a disaster occurs,photo agencies buy pictures.They rush to obtain the rights to be the only one to own these shocking images and death is usually the subject.Often,an agency buys a picture from a local newspaper or an amateur photographer and puts it up for bid by major magazines.The most sought-after special pictures command tens of thousands of dollars through bidding contests.
I worked on all those stories and many like them.When they happen,you move quickly:buying,dealing,trying to beat the agencies to the pictures.
Now,many people believe journalists are the hypocrites (伪君子) who need to be brought down,and it's our pictures that most anger others.Readers may not believe,as we do,that there is a distinction between clear-minded"us"and mean-spirited"them".In too many cases,by our choices of images as well as how we get  them,we prove our readers right.

67.When journalists are working,they are told toC.
A.work with their conscience
B.respect the privacy of the victim
C.separate their work from feelings
D.ask police for permission to take photos
68.The 5th and 6th paragraphs mainly tell us thatD.
A.speed determines the success of a news story
B.photo agencies are greedier than serious newspeople
C.photographers have free access to photos of accidents
D.profit is the driving force beliind the competition for photos
69.It can be learned from the last paragraph that serious newspeopleB.
A.obtain photos differently from news agencies
B.are no better than self-employed photographers
C.are more devoted to work than non-professionals
D.have a higher moral standard than self-employed photographers
70.The underlined word"them"in the last paragraph refers toD.
A.photo editors                          B.photo agencies
C.serious newspeople                     D.self-employed photographers.

13.I was sleeping in my room when my bed started shaking and a loud noise was heard.I woke up and my mom was screaming my name.Next moment I was running along with my younger sister,mom and dad.Before I ran out of the door,I realized my elder sister hadn't come out yet.So I screamed her name at the top of my voice.My mom said she had gone to her class.Then the four of us,along with many others,were running on the staircase.We lived on the seventh floor,so I thought we would not be able to make it and the building would fall before we managed to reach even the fourth floor.My dad's head was injured by something falling down.I did try to put my hand over his head.When we reached the sixth floor,the building split into two.We had no way to get down.

Our first hope of surviving came when a worker climbed a rope to where we were.That was the first time we thought maybe we could get down.Half an hour passed and we were still trapped.Finally RSS people arrived with ropes.They got people down one by one.My biggest worry was how my dad would get down.Finally after two and a half hours,we all got down.
That day we saw the power of nature.It has taken more than two years to build the flats and it took just one and a half minutes to destroy the structure.

20.We were driving on the right road when,all of a sudden,a black car pulled out of a parking space right in front of us.My taxi driver stepped on his brake,skidded(打滑),and missed the black car's back end by just inches!The driver of the black car,who almost caused a major accident,turned his head angrily and started shouting bad words at us.
    My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.I mean,my taxi driver was friendly.So,I said,"Why did you just do that?This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to hospital!"And the following is what my taxi driver told me,which I now call"the law of the Garbage Truck".
"Many people are like garbage(垃圾) trucks.They run around full of garbage,full of anger,and full of disappointment.As their garbage piles up,they need a place to dump(倾卸)it.And if you let them,they dump it on you.When someone wants to dump on you,don't take it personally.Just smile,wave,wish him well,and move on.Believe me.You'll be happier."
So this is"The Law of the Garbage Truck".I started thinking:How often do I let"Garbage Trucks"run right over me?And how often do I take their garbage and spread it to other people at work,at home,or on the streets?It was then that I said,"I'm not going to do it any more."
    I began to see"Garbage Trucks".I see the load they're carrying.I see them coming to drop it off.And like my taxi driver,I don't make it a personal thing; I just smile,wave,and move on.
Good leaders know they have to be ready for their next meeting.Good parents know that they have to welcome their children home from school with hugs and kisses.What about you?The mark of a successful person is how quickly he can get back his focus on what's important.
40.Who acted like a garbage truck in the accident described in the first two paragraphs?B
A.The author.B.The driver of the black car.C.The taxi driver.D.Both drivers.

A.Always be kind and hardworking.
