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、The entire European coastline will be submerged.
B、The rich heritage of Europe will be lost completely.
C、The seawater of Europe will be seriously polluted.
D、The major European scenic spots will disappear.
答案
A
解析
浏览四个选项,根据选项中出现的submerged,lost completely,seriously polluted,disappear等词可推测,此题与某现象对环境造成的负面影响有关。题干问的是当气候灾难发生时会发生什么事。对话中男士提到他不想记录灾难本身,只想记录灾难即将来临的时刻,接着又谈到欧洲海岸线被海水吞没只是时间问题。submerged是disappears under water的同义转换,故答案为A。B项(丰富的欧洲遗产将会完全消失),C项(欧洲的海水将会受到严重污染),D项(重要的欧洲景点会消失)对话中均未提及,故排除。
