He explained th at he wished to buy a pearl（珍珠）for his wife’s birthday. The price didn’t matter, since business had been very good for him that year. After examining a nice black one that cost $5, 000, he paid for the pearl in cash, sho ok hands with the jeweler and left.A few days later the man returned and said that his wife like d the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like this. It had to be exactly the same size and quality, as she wanted a pair of earrings made. "Can you give me any advice on ho w to get such a pearl?" said the man. The jeweler regretfully r eplied "I would say it’s absolutely impossible to find one exactl y like that pearl".The rich man insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newsp apers, offering $25,000 for the matching pearl. Many people a nswered the advertisement（广告） but nobody had a pearl that was just right.Just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old lady cam e into his store.

They c ome and visit some of the most famous places in England: Bi g Ben, the Tower of London and the River Thames.You can see some of the most interesting places in London b y getting on the tour buses. Or you can take a ride on the Lon don Eye. This large wheel slowly takes you 135m above the River Thames.The River Thames is London’s main waterway. It has shaped the capital’s landscape, history and geography. So one of the best ways of making sense of the city is to take a trip along th e river.The clock tower of the House of Parliament, Big Ben, has bec ome one of the main symbols of London. The sound of the bel l, which you can hear at the beginning of many television and radio programmes has become well-known throughout the nation.No visit to London is complete without a look at the Tower of London, in the eastern part of the city. After Big Ben, the Tow er may be London’s most visited tourist spot. Directly south is Tower Bridge, which is more than 100 years old.Among all the palaces in London, Buckingham Palace is the most famous. It has been the main London home of the royal family since Queen Victoria moved there in 1837. You can visi t some of the rooms in August and September. And most mor nings of the year you can watch the soldiers outside changing the guard.About one hour by train out of London is the town of Windsor. Here you can visit another of the Queen’s homes---Windsor Castle. There was a fire in 1992 and many of the roo ms were badly burned. But now they are full of beautiful pictur es, tables and chairs again.Sightseeing in London is great, but it can get very tiring. So, t he best way to start the day is to fill up with an English breakf ast.You can buy an English breakfast in nearly every hotel, and at many restaurants and cafes. An English pub is a good place t o stop for lunch and a drink. You can get hot or cold food and try one of England’s many ales (浓啤酒). Fish and chips are also a traditional English meal. So look out for fish and chip shops in cities as well as by the sea. Or you can sit outside one of the many roadside pubs and caf es in London, and simply watch the busy world go by.27. The underlined word “landscape”(paragraph3) is closest i n meaning to ______.A. sightsB. interestC. growthD. travel28. Which place may be London’s most visited tourist spot?A. The River ThamesB. The Tower of LondonC. Buckingham PalaceD. Big Ben29. If you go to London in December, you will not be able to _ _____.A. visit Windsor CastleB. tour the Buckingham PalaceC. tour the city along the River ThamesD. watch the soldiers outside changing guards30.

AThere was a park near my home. But I didn’t go there very oft en. Many people said there was nothing special. One afternoo n, I went into the park and found it was really small. I walked q uickly because there wasn’t much to see. I walked for some time and found myself standing in front of two paths. “Which w ay should I go?” I asked myself. I looked at one way, then the other. I found that the two paths were different from each othe r.The left one was wide and clean. There were lots of flowers o n both sides of the path. Though they weren’t that beautiful, th ey made me feel good. I decided to take this path. But wait! I l ooked at the right one. The path didn’t look nice. It was narro w and dirty. It looked as if it had not been cleaned for months. Grass grew everywhere. For a long time, I couldn’t make up my mind. After a while a strange feeling made me follow the d irty path. It wasn’t nice, but I didn’t want to give up. At last, I c ame to the end of the path.Ah! There was a small garden there. It was beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful garden I had ever seen. There were trees, flowers and chairs. I thought it was the nicest part of the park. Many people told me that there was nothing much to see in th e park. Now I’d like to tell them that if they had followed the rig ht way, they would have felt differently. But when I told them a bout what I had seen in the park, they just smiled at me witho ut saying a word. I knew they didn’t believe me. They couldn’t even remember that path because it was too small.My trip to the park that day made me understand something about life. Don’t be afraid to choose a different path.

Choosing a different path in life may get to the same end. BBack in 2007, French director Jean-Jacques Annaud returned to his home in France after finishin g making a film in the Sahara. There, from a large number of books his friends had mailed to him, Annaud picked up Wolf T otem, a novel by a Chinese author.After almost six years of the film making, Wolf Totem started t o be shown throughout China on February 19, 2015. Nowadays in China, most people have got to know that it’s im portant to protect grasslands and get along well with nature. A nnaud said that he was touched by the author’s concerns abo ut the worse and worse environment which has widely influen ced the Chinese public and the novel is becoming more and more popular.The film Wolf Totem is about environmental problems becaus e they not only exist in China, Annaud said, adding that many EU members and the United States have also had to deal wit h these serious problems. According to him, the film shows a message about the importance of a pleasant relationship bet ween man and nature.Both man and the wolf need a good environment to live in, An naud said. Feng Shaofeng, who played Chen Zhen in the film, was also allowed to raise and train the wolves, so that he cou ld get to know the animals. “Wolves will never accept humans as their master as dogs do; they treat us as friends,” Feng said.5. Where does Annaud come from?A. China.B. England.C. France.D. United States.6. When did they begin to make the film Wolf Totem?A. In 2007.B. In 2009.C. In 2014.D. In 2015.7. What does the film show?A. Humans can become the wolves’ master.B. It’s important for humans to live in peace with nature.C. Humans are stronger than the forces of nature.D. China has serious environmental problems.CDictionaries are not closed books. There is still plenty of room for more words in them. New words are being created and ad ded to our language. And many of today's word experts can t hank a famous Englishman for his creation of the way in whic h they develop many new words. His name was Charles L. D odgson. Besides working with numbers, Dodgson wrote book s. His stories and poems have made Dodgson popular with a l ot of readers. We know him, however, not by the name of Dod gson but by his pen name, Lewis Carroll.Lewis Carroll has made so many readers happy, young and old, with Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and a lot of poems. In these works, Carroll developed lots of wor ds such as "chortle" and "galumph". Many of these words are combined naturally with more common words in the English la nguage. Carroll referred to his made-up words as "portmanteau" words, named after a kind of leath er suitcase that opens into two parts. The name was just right for Carroll's words, because most of his words had two parts. They were usually made from the combined parts of two differ ent words. A "snark", for example, clearly came from a snake and a shark.Although Carroll died long ago, his way to create new words c ontinues to be used today. We clearly see his influence in such words as “smog” and “brunch”.8. What does the underlined sentence probably mean accordi ng to the passage?A. Dictionaries are open to the public.B. Dictionaries are helpful to the public.C. New words can be added to dictionaries.D. The words in dictionaries are always changing.9. From the passage, we know that Charles L. Dodgson was also good at______.A. mathB. actingC. teachingD. music10. Dodgson's made-up words were____.A. made from different wordsB. borrowed from other langua gesC. all come from his poemsD. are still widely used11. This passage is mainly about______.A. how Dodgson wrote his worksB. how English words are c reatedC. how a dictionary is writtenD. how Dodgson created ne w wordsDHave you visit any famous museums? Many famous museum s throughout the world can offer you good chances to enjoy ar t. Florida International University (FIU) in Miami also shows ar t for people to see, but it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.FIU has opened the first computer art museum in the United States. You don’t have to visit the University to see the art. W hat you need is just a computer connected to a telephone. Th at’s enough.You can call the telephone number of a University computer a nd connect your own computer to it. All of the art is in the school computer. It is computer art, produced by artists on their o wn computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can recei ve and copy all the pictures and drawings.Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their work. A computer artist could only record his pictures on the computer and send the records to others t o see on their computers. He could also put his pictures on pa per. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist wi ll have to need a very expensive printer(打印机).Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art o r computer students at schools and universities. Many of the p ictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for comput er artists because more people can see it. He says artists enj oy their work much more if they have an audience. And the gr eat number of home computers in America could mean huge audience for the electronic museum.12. The main purpose of this text is to give information about_ ___________.A. famous museums throughout the worldB. an electronic art museum in Miami, U.S.AC. art exhibitions in Florida International UniversityD. the latest development in computer art in the USA13.

绝密★启用前【省级联考Word 】湖北省部分重点中学2016-2017学年高一下学期期中联考英语试题（有答案）试卷副标题考试范围：xxx ；考试时间：27分钟；命题人：xxx学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________注意事项．1．答题前填写好自己的姓名、班级、考号等信息 2．请将答案正确填写在答题卡上第I 卷（选择题）一、阅读理解（题型注释）Ever since Donald Trump was elected the next president of the US, the entire Trump family has been put under a microscope(显微镜).In China, the spotlight has been mainly focused on Trump and his daughter Ivanka. She is described on WeChat as an extremely influential role model with stunning beauty, a successful career, and a happy family.She leads a dream life that a million girls would kill for. Yes, she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. But she got where she is by herself.There‟s always going to be articles that say people born into wealthy families are better looking and have a better family background than you, but these people do work harder than you. Are you a loser if you were raised in an ordinary family? Should you feel guilty that you sleep eight hours a day because Ivanka sleeps five? If you just want to keep a stable （稳定的） nine-to-five job, does it mean you are not ambitious? How about if you don‟t work out or eat healthy, does that mean you will not find your Mr. or Miss Right?试卷第2页，共11页There is a tendency in media nowadays to encourage elitism(精英主义).They are trying to brainwash young people into thinking that they should invest （投资）a large amount of time and money in bodybuilding and appearance. They encourage lifestyle makeovers: wine tasting classes and expensive trips overseas. They make you believe that if you do as they say, you can improve the quality of your life and join the elites (社会精英).But what‟s the downside of being ordinary? Do you really need to go to the gym five day s a week? Do you need to take hundreds of selfies （自拍） and Photoshop the selected ones to post on WeChat? Do you really need to break your neck and sacrifice to earn your first pot of gold only to worry constantly about how to enter high society later?Don‟t let the idea of elitism get to you. Everybody has a right to the life they want. Human beings should not be judged as a success or failure based on whether they are a part of the elite or not. As long as you lead a happy and comfortable life, why bother to chase after other people‟s shadows? Choose your own life path and go for it. 1、Why does Ivanka become a hit online in the writer‟s opinion? A ．She lives such a dream life that a million girls would like to kill her. B ．She gets what she has through personal efforts despite rich origin. C ．She has a better family background than ordinary people. D ．She is a role model frequently seen among ordinary people.2、Which of the following are considered as a life belonging to the elites? ①Polish and post carefully- selected selfies on WeChat. ②Break your neck to earn your first pot of gold. ③Spare no effort to improve physical appearance. ④Sign up for wine tasting classes and oversea trips. A ．③④ B ．②④ C ．②③ D ．①④3、It can be inferred from the text that ____________.A ．Ivanka sleeping five hours a day makes the majority of people guilty.B ．Keeping a stable nine-to- five job will be thought of as a loser.C ．Improving the quality of life will help you enter high society.D ．Joining the elites is what more and more people dream of nowadays.4、Which attitude towards life would the writer probably agree with?A．Life is like a dogsled team. If you aren‟t the lead dog, the scenery never changes. B．Life is not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.C．There is only one success — to be able to spend your life in your own way.D．The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.Whether rich or poor, parents who have books in the home increase the level of education their children will attain, according to a 20-year study led by Mariah Evans.For years, educators have thought the strongest predictor(预示物) of attaining high levels of education was having parents who were highly educated. But, the study showed that the difference between being raised in a bookless home compared to being raised in a home with a 500-book library has as great an effect on the level of education a child will attain as the difference between having parents who are barely literate (有文化的) and having parents who have a university education.Being a sociologist, Evans was particularly interested to find that children of lesser-educated parents benefit the most from having books in the home. What kinds of investments should we make to help these kids get ahead? The results of this study indicate that getting some books into their homes is an inexpensive way that we can help these children succeed. Evans said, "Even a little bit goes a long way. Having as few as 20 books in the home still has a significant impact on motivating a child to a higher level of education, and the more books you add, the greater benefit the children get.”The researchers were struck by the strong effect having books in the home had on children's educational attainment even above and beyond such factors as education level of the parents, the father's occupation or the economic level of the country.Having books in the home is twice as important as the father's education level, and more important than whether a child was brought up in a developing country or a developed country. Surprisingly, the difference in educational attainment for children born in developed country and children born in developing country was just 2 years, less than two-thirds of the effect that having 500 or more books in the home had on children.5、In the past educators held a point of view that ______ .A．children whose family had a library would possibly attain high levels of educationB．children who were born in poor families studied harder than those in rich families试卷第4页，共11页C ．children whose parents are highly educated would attain high levels of educationD ．parents‟ level of education had nothing to do with their children‟s levels of education 6、What does the underlined word “motivating ” in Paragraph 3 mean? A ．Making somebody want to do something. B ．Helping somebody to finish something C ．Making somebody pretend to do something. D ．Preventing somebody from achieving something.7、Which of the following has the most important effect on the level of education a child will gain?A ．The economic level of the country.B ．The father‟s occupation.C ．Education levels of parents.D ．Having books in the home.8、Which is the following is NOT TRUE?A ．Getting books into homes is good investment parents can make.B ．Children who get a higher level of education must have many books in their homes.C ．Reading books is good for the development of children.D ．Books in home have a great effect on children‟s education levels.Jennifer Lawrence, 25, is known for being down -to- earth and likable —she ordered McD onald‟s on the red carpet at the Oscars.And when she described her anger and disappointment at the fact that women are not equal to men in Hollywood, Lawrence “continued to make America fall in love with her”, said Business Insider.Earlier this year, an E-mail from film company Sony Pictures showed that Lawrence and Amy Adams made less money for American Hustle(2013) than their male(男性) co-stars, even though both women played major roles in the movie.In an article published in Lenny Letter, a popular e-m ail newsletter, Lawrence wrote “I‟m trying to find the …adorable(可爱的) way to state my opinion and still be likable‟!”Lawrence joins a long list of actresses, including Meryl Streep and Cate Blanchett, who have spoken up about Hollywood‟s pay gap.According to Forbes, the 10 highest paid movie actors in 2015, led by Robert Downey Jr, made＄431 million.But the 10 highest paid movie actresses, led by Lawrence, only made about $218 million. The pay gap comes partly from the low number of actresses. According to a report in August, only 28.1 percent of characters in 2014‟s 100 top grossing(高票房的) films were female(女性) and of them, only 21 percent had a female lead or co-lead character. “People with more experience are paid more,” Nancy Dubue, the president CEO of A+E Networks, told Variety, “The problem is that the industry still gives too many men that experience.”The pay gap is a problem that affects the whole US, The White House reported that women earn 78 cents to every dollar a man gets there.“This is what made Lawrence‟s piece powerful: it showed that women still experience pay inequality everywhere-whether you‟re Hollywood‟s top talent or you work in a retail store,” commented CNN.As Lawrence points out, it‟s not just about less payment for women; it‟s al so about women making sure that their pay shows their value.9、According to Business Insider, Americans_____ Lawrence after she expressed her anger at Hollywood‟s pay gap.A．dislike. B．likeC．doubt D．forgive10、From the passage we can infer that_____.A．men earn more money for the same job than women because they are better than women B．Lawrence is the leader of the 10 highest_ paid movie actressesC．a great many actresses have spoken up about Hollywood‟s pay gapD．a White House report points out that men make twice as much money as women11、The writer‟s purpose of writing this passage is____.A．to informB．to adviseC．to persuadeD．to argue12、The best title of the passage can be____.A．More Experience, More PayB．Asking for Fair Pay试卷第6页，共11页C ．Speaking up for HollywoodD ．Higher value, Higher PayDo you like animals? If you do, you can go to visit the following zoos around America. Denver Zoo, ColoradoThe zoo covers 80 acres in all. It houses species from all over the world, including bears, elephants, giraffes, birds, monkeys and fish. The zoo is laid out in a large circle, with animals both inside and outside the circle.

Also, Riverbanks Zoo has a 70-acre botanical(植物的)garden with more than 4,200 species of native and foreign plants. Zoo Miami, FloridaIt is the largest and oldest zoo in Florida. Zoo Miami is also the only tropical(热带的)zoo in the United States. There are four main sections in the zoo: Asia, Africa, Amazon and Beyond, and Australia. Don‟t miss a ride on the air-conditioned monorail(单轨列车). It is a convenient and comfortable way to move between sections. And it also provides an amazing view of the zoo. Fort Worth Zoo, TexasThe zoo has been named as a top zoo in the nation by Family Life magazine, The LA Times, and USA Today, and it made the list of top zoos in the South by Southern Living magazine. The zoo now is home to 5,000 native and foreign animals. Colorado Springs, ColoradoAmerica‟s only mountainside zoo spans 140 acres and has a collection of more tha n 750 animals, representing nearly 150 different species. Don‟t miss the wildly popular giraffe-feeding activity.13、Riverbanks Zoo would most probably attract those who__________.

They order clothes and they don‟t fit. People get very unhappy.”Wong and her design partner, Xuaner “Cecilia” Zhang, are Team White Mirror, creators of what they call a “virtua l (虚拟)fitting room”. Their goal is simple and consumer-friendly: to let online clothing shoppers have a perfect fit and a perfect look when shopping every time. Both women are from China, Wong from Hong Kong and Zhang from Beijing. They both order most of their clothing online. They got the idea from their own experience as consumers and from listening to the complaints of friends and relatives. “They say, …The color is wrong‟ or …I got t he right size but it still does not fit.‟ We want to make it like you‟re in the store trying on the clothes,” Zhang said.Using a Kinect developed by Microsoft for use with its Xbox 360 video game player, Zhang scans Wong and turns her image(影像) into, in effect, a virtual model, keeping Wong‟s dimensions (尺寸), and even her skin and hair color. “We put the clothes on the shopper‟s 3-D body models and show how they look when they are dressed,” Wong said. So far, Wong and Zhang have adapted the software to show dresses and shirts, and they are now working on shorts.Asked if she thought men as well as women might be interested in using their virtual fitting room, Wong said, “I think their wives will care about this, so it will also be important t o men.”5. Why is shopping conveniently online for clothes a disadv antage?A. Students may easily get addicted to it.B. It causes shoppers to waste too much money.C. It attracts more online clothing shoppers.D. Clothes bought online may not fit.6. Wong and Zhang got the idea to design a virtual fitting room from ____.A. their shopping experiencesB. a program at their universityC. some shop-owners‟ complaintsD. the Xbox 360 video game player7. Which of the following shows the process of using the virtual fitting room?A. scanning -- trying on clothes -- getting imagesB. trying on clothes -- getting models -- scanningC. trying on clothes -- getting images -- scanningD. scanning -- getting models --trying on clothes8. What did Wong think of her virtual fitting room?A. It is perfectly developed.B. It will have its market share(占有率).C. It is limited to women shoppers.D. It is like a kind of video game player.CMy parents moved to Mississippi when my brother and I were small children, and we were separated from our Oklahoma grandparents by some 600 miles. This geographic distance allowed us to only visit our grandparents once a year, either at Christmas or during summer vacation.Most of my classmates lived near their grandparents, and I would routinely hear stories of extended families（大家庭）regularly spending time with one another, fishing at “grandpa‟s” house or going over to “grandma‟s” for her famous fried chicken. We were disappointed that we did not get to spend more time with our grandparents, but our love for them remained deep and strong.We always expected a road trip to Oklahoma. We would count the days, and when Day I came, the entire family would pile into the car at four o‟clock in the morning. Crossing the Mississippi River into Louisiana, the landscapes （风景）changed. Crossing the Red River in Oklahoma, we were in a foreign world.Every trip to see my grandparents can‟t be without bringing delight. We jumped out of the car in their driveway to be met with bear hugs. My grandparents wanted to know everything about their grandchildren, and we would sit for hours and tell story after story. Grandma had a meal planned, and you could bet she fixed her grandsons‟ favorite foods. Of course the best part of the visit was that we were able to do whatever we wanted without punishment from our grandparents. Grandma and Grandpa always had presents for us, neat scenic trips planned and lovely surprises, such as the time we got to go to a local restaurant and eat the world‟s largest hamburger.9. T he family don‟t visit the grandparents often because _________.A. they live far away from each otherB. they seldom have a vacationC. they are all busy with their workD. they have a bad attitude to them10. Whenever the author and his brother met their grandparents, they ________.A. shared cooking skills with each otherB. found they were in a foreign worldC. were all full of great excitementD. seemed not to be familiar with each other11. What can we infer f rom the author‟s story？A. Distance leads to the most beautiful scene.B. Physical separation (实际的分离) hurts the heart deeply.C. Distance can‟t break the bond (纽带) of love.D. Family life is filled with love and understanding.DVacation is a time for refreshment. In work, we are often called to think. Sometimes, it’s good to give our brains a rest. Without a break, we may not be able to perform up to our potential. This can be a problem, not only for the employee, but for the employer as well. “The main benefit of vacation is for the worker to come back energized(有活力的),” says Weaver. “If they haven’t had a break, then they‟re not coming back with new energy. They haven‟t had a chance to step back and get perspective（远景）, and come back with renewed enthusiasm(热情).”Long working hours without a break, insecurity（不安）about one’s job, and other work-related worries can lead to burnout and stress. Humans can usually adapt to pressure, but not for a limitless amount of time.“It is a problem of relating good workers and having them loyal to the firm while they‟re there,” says David Maume, PhD, professor of sociology at the University of Cincinnati. He says burnout can also affect employees‟ productivity, creativity, and effectiveness.In addition, high levels of stress are likely to be precursors (前兆) to depression, which can hit both the employer and employee’s pocketbook. Even people who manager to remain productive at work can have problems. If they’re always at work, then they’re not with their family and friends. If they’re working while on vacation, for the time that they’re on the job, they’re not really present.An unbalanced emphasis on work can strain family and social life. When you come up forair, you may see that you’re alone, or that your r elationships have gone on without you.12. The underlined word “there” in the fourth paragraph probably refers to ________.A. the vacationB. the universityC. the companyD. the home13. What‟s the main benefit of a vacation?A. The worker can step back and get more excitedB. The worker can come back with new energy.C. The worker can adapt to pressure much better.D. The manager can be more creative.14. When a worker is always at work, he is likely to get more and more__________ .A. activeB. energeticC. skillfulD. absent-minded15. Which of the following is the best title of the text?A. Why the workers need new energy.B. How to deal with the daily pressure.C. How to spend the vacation effectively.D. Why the workers need a vacation.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Here are some attractions we recommend, all within a comfortable walk from the Quad:As one of the best-known of New York City’s 1,900 public parks, it is a landmark in the Manhattan neighborhood of Greenwich Village, as well as a meeting place and center for cultural activity.

In nearly every experim ent, the group that took photos showed higher levels of enjoy ment.The finding might not sound terribly surprising. After all, Face book members upload about 2 billion photos daily, and Instag ram users upload about 80 million photos every day. But som e people argue that taking photographs can distract (分散注意力) themselves from enjoying an experience while it’s happeni ng.The new research shows that it isn’t the case and that photog raphy does increase a person’s enjoyment, because it increas es his or her engagement in the activity. For example, in one experiment, people toured a museum while wearing glasses t hat tracked their eye movements. The group that took photos spent more time looking at the artifacts than those who didn’t. However,photos are sometimes a drag. For instance, if the ca mera is difficult to carry, it might not bring enjoyment to a pers on. And in some cases, photography can make situations unp leasant. For example, when people in the study took a virtual safari (游猎) and watched some lions attacking a water buffalo, the peo ple who took photos of the bloody event were reported to hav e a lower enjoyment of the activity than those who didn’t, the r esearchers said.28. Why does taking photos increase enjoyment?A. People can share their photos on Facebook.B. People have more time to look at the objects to be photogr aphed.C. Some photos may end up as valuable artifacts.D. Photography gets people more involved in the activity.29. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. Photography sometimes can be dangerous.B. Photography requires more courage to do.C. Photography is an unpleasant process.D. Photography isn’t fun all the time.30. Which of the following is closest to the main idea of the te xt?A. Photography helps you appreciate people around you.B. Snapping a selfie is a symbol of self-confidence.C. Taking photos doesn’t ruin your experience.D. The photo-taking process is a mental choice.The writing form of the passage is _______A. a research reportB. a novelC. a dramaD. a descrip tionDOnce upon a time, there was an old businessman, who cam e to a small town when it was about 12 o’clock at night. He fo und an inn and decided to stay there for the night. After he ha d gone to his room, the owner said to his wife, “Look at his sui tcase, dear. I’m sure there are lots of valuable things in it.
