W: Mr. De Keyzer, I’m a great lover of your book Moments Before the Flood. Can you tell us how you first became interested in this subject matter?
M: [5/6 - 1] In 2006, when the concert hall of the city of Bruges asked me to take some pictures for a catalogue for a new concert season around the theme of water, I found myself working along the Belgian coastline. [6-2] As there had been numerous alarming articles in the press about a climate catastrophe waiting to happen, I started looking at the sea and the beach very differently, a place where I spent so many perfect days as a child. This fear of a looming danger became the subject of a large-scale photo project.
W: [7-1] You wrote in the book: "I don’t want to photograph the disaster, I want to photograph the disaster waiting to happen." Can you talk a bit about that?
M: [7-2] It is clear now that it’s a matter of time before the entire European coastline disappears under water. The same goes for numerous big cities around the world. My idea was to photograph this beautiful and very unique coastline, rich in history, before it’s too late—as a last witness.
W: Can you talk a bit about how history plays a role in this project?
M: Sure. The project is also about the history of Europe looking at the sea and wondering when the next enemy would appear. In the images, you see all kinds of possible defense constructions to hold back the Romans, Germans, Vikings, and now nature as enemy No. 1. For example, there is the image of the bridge into the sea taken at the Normandy D-Day landing site. [8] Also, Venice, the city eternally threatened by the sea, where every morning wooden pathways have to be set up to allow tourists to reach their hotels.
W: Thank you, Mr. De Keyzer. It was a pleasure to have you with us today.
Questions 5 to 8 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
5. What does the man say about the book Moments Before the Flood?
6. When did the man get his idea for the work?
7. What will happen when the climate catastrophe occurs?
8. What does the man say about Venice?
选项
A、It is a book of European history.
B、It is about the city of Bruges.
C、It is an introduction to music.
D、It is a collection of photos.
答案
D
解析
浏览四个选项,根据选项中出现的it以及a book,about the city,an introduction,a collection等词可推测,此题与it的内容有关。题干问的是关于《洪水袭来前》这本书,男士说了什么。对话开头男士提到2006年当布鲁日的音乐大厅请他以水为主题为新一届音乐季拍一组照片并编成目录时,他发觉自己是在沿着比利时的海岸线工作,因此这是一本照片集,故答案为D。A项(它是一本关于欧洲历史的书),B项(它介绍了布鲁日这个城市),C项(它介绍了音乐),以上三个选项均不是这本书的内容,故排除。
