四、閱讀理解

• 4．Inspired by the movement to protect the Carmanah Valley and Clayoquot Sound，I decided to devote myself to producing images for conservation full-time in 1992.Since that time my work has taken me all over the world and my photos have appeared in many major magazines.However，many of my most rewarding moments have come from working on projects in British Columbia，Canada，and sharing those images in slide show tours I have given throughout Canada，the U.S.jye.ai Europe.
      The more I travel and photograph in other parts of the world，the more I have come to realize the wilderness we have in Canada is truly special and rare.
      I have always felt that as a photographer my goal is to approach the natural environment with the sense of wonder and curiosity that comes so naturally to children.This，I believe，is one of the basic keys not just to producing meaningful images，but more importantly，to gaining a full appreciation and enjoyment of the natural world.
      I find that not only my best images，but also my most enjoyable experiences in nature，occur when I have an open mind and follow my intuition（直覺）.When I feel drawn to a certain scene，I try to make the scene simple and not include anything that is not relevant.I also try all ways to look for beautiful light.Early morning and the end of the day almost always produce light that results in more pleasing images than those taken under the strong light in the middle of a sunny day.Soft cloudy skies are wonderful for photographing all day，especially in our beautiful forests or for small subjects like wildflowers.Rain，storms，and snow also provide wonderful opportunities for new and different kinds of images.
  
  （1）In the first paragraph，the author mainly tells us about

  .
  A．his working experiences
  B．his goal as a photographer
  C．his skills in photographing
  D．his understanding about conservation
  （2）It can be inferred that the author

  .
  A．was born in the United Kingdom
  B．now works mainly in the United States
  C．has worked as a full-time tour guide since 1992
  D．is aware of the importance of environmental protection
  （3）Which of the following is true of the author's images？

  
  A．They are not easy to be produced in soft cloudy skies.
  B．Sometimes the scenes in them are simple and don't include irrelevant things.
  C．If they are wildflowers，the best time to produce them is in the rain.
  D．If produced at the end of the day，they are more beautiful than in the early morning.
  （4）What is the purpose of writing the passage？

  
  A．To study the key to becoming a famous artist.
  B．To show thoughts about nature photography.
  C．To praise wonderful scenes they have in Canada.
  D．To tell the most enjoyable experiences in nature.
