B
In my early teens, I was once given a film camera as a gift. On receiving it, I jumped on my
bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and wildlife. I
was out all day. On my way home, I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture
its beauty. Rushing home, I put the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a
photography store, desperate to see how it would come out. I took many photos then and loved
the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious
moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing.
As I grew into adulthood, that simple, deep happiness gradually faded away. One weekend,
when I was busy answering the work calls, my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room. I
suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera
from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. I thought I needed a change.
I took out the camera and dusted it down. It was a great joy that it still worked. I bought
new film and took the camera everywhere I went. Now, it is always on hand to accompany me on
journeys, to allow me time to myself. Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments
for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me.
The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment on display, along with photos I’ve
taken. To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger
part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an
environment that allows opportunities for delight.

答案： 24. C [推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing.（那时我拍了很多照片，当你冲洗你的胶卷时，你会得到彩色照片，这一事实让我称赞，它定格了那些珍贵的时刻，默默地鼓励了我坚持这项爱好和为冲洗照片而付费的意愿。）”可推断，对于作者小时候热爱拍照这件事，作者觉得这是令人兴奋且值得的。故选C。]
25. D [细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner.（这些年来不断增长的压力把相机从我的枕头旁推到了角落里的盒子里。）”可知，作者面临的压力越来越大，这使得作者停止了拍照。故选D。]
26. A [细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me.（即使一天是充实且忙碌的，我也能抓住一些时间拍照，观察周围的世界。）”和第四段中的“To me, the room represents how I've found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight.（对我来说，这个房间代表了我是如何找到幸福的：通过重新连接我搁置已久的、年轻的自己，通过在我的生活中为快乐留出空间，通过创造一个可能带来快乐的环境。）”可知，作者通过重新开始拍照，在繁忙的日程中获得了乐趣。故选A。]
27. D [标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是由最后一段中的“To me, the room represents how I've found happiness:... and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight.”可知，文章讲述了作者小时候很喜欢拍照，后来作者的压力越来越大，这使得他放弃了拍照。偶然看到角落里的照相机后，作者重新开始拍照，从而在繁忙的生活中获得了乐趣。所以D项“Regaining Pleasure Through Photography（通过摄影重新获得乐趣）”作为文章标题最佳。故选D。]
