【答案解析】解析:词义理解题。根据原文Until Annie's first dance recital when the camcorder had a sudden breakdown…可知 Annie第一次独舞演出时这台摄像机突然坏了。由此可见题干说“我在Annie第一次舞蹈表演时摄下许多精彩瞬间”与原文不符,是错误的。

I gave up my camcorder because it had prevented me from fully enjoying the precious moments in my daughters' life.
【正确答案】

【答案解析】解析:语义理解题。根据原文Until Annie's first dance recital when the camcorder had a sudden breakdown,I never realized how little of their lives I was experiencing when I had a camcorder in front of my face.So I decided to try life without one,可知直到Annie第一次独舞演出时这台摄像机突然坏掉时,我才意识到摄像机挡在我面前使我无法几乎体验孩子们的生活。所以我决定过没有摄像机的生活。由此可见题干“我放弃摄像机因为它使我无法尽情享受女儿们生活中的精彩瞬间”的说法与原文意思相符,是正确的。

【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】解析:词义理解题。根据原文But when soccer season started…I cheered when Jane,the goalie,made a save or when Annie charged ahead with the ball可知足球赛季开始,守门员Jane的救球、Annie的带球冲锋使我为她们喝彩欢呼。由此可判断,讲话者的两个女儿都踢足球。因此题干的说法与原文相符,是正确答案。

单选题
Now I am upset if I can't record my daughters' soccer match with the camcorder.
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】解析:语义理解题。根据原文At first I felt neglectful not filming birthdays or the first day of school.But when soccer season started,instead of“directing” my kids so I could get good video,I cheered...可知起先刚放弃录像机时,讲话者在孩子们的生日或第一天上学时,感到对他们的关心不足,但后来足球赛季开始,讲话者专心于孩子们的比赛时,感到兴高采烈,由此可推断现在讲话者那种认为忽视了孩子的感觉已不存在。因此题干“现在我因不能给孩子们比赛录像而感到沮丧”的说法与原文不符,是错误的。
单选题
I feel the video films made by the camcorder too matter-of-fact.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】解析:语义理解题。根据原文With video,you're a passive viewer,and events are recorded as is,with no room to embellish可知用录像机时,你成为被动的观看者,被录的事件死板客观,没有一点想象余地。由此可见题干含义与原文相符,是正确的。
单选题
Now I still keep records, of my kids' growth.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】解析:词义理解题。根据原文we want to document the girls' childhoods.I write in memory books,save drawings and take plenty of still photos可知我们还是要记录下孩子们童年的,我们将他们的生活写下来,收集他们的图画并拍了大量照片。
单选题
I think photos are even better means to remember my kids' growth.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】解析:观点态度题。原文说者认为使用照片triggers a dynamic collaboration即激发孩子们的合作,而且we've turned an event that's ho-hum on video,like a trip to the zoo,into something spectacular即以去动物园的游玩以例,我们把刻板的录像改为照相后,这次活动变得非常生动有趣。由此可见“与录像相比,照片在记录孩子们的成长方面更胜一筹”与原文意思相符,是正确的。
