Photographs are everywhere. They decorate the walls of homes and are used in stores for sales of different goods. The news is filled with pictures of fires, floods, and special events. Photos record the beauties of nature. They can also bring things close that are far away. Through photos, people can see wild animals, cities in foreign lands, and even the stars in outer space. Photos also tell stories.
Reporting the news through photos is called photojournalism. At times photojournalists tell their stories through a single picture. At other times, they use a group of pictures to tell a story. Each picture is like a chapter in a book, which can do more than record the facts. It can also be a strong force for social change.
Jacob Riis was among the first photojournalists. He took pictures of parts of New York City where the poor lived. Riis believed that poverty caused crime, and he used photos to help him prove his point. A few years later, the photos of small children working in factories by Lewis Hine shocked the public. Hine’s pictures helped bring about laws to protect such children.
Hundreds of pictures may have to be taken in order to get one or two really good photos. It takes science to have the photo come out clearly and art to make a photo that has a good design and expresses feeling. Photojournalists make an actual record of what they see. A photo, however, can be both a work of art and an actual record. It can record an important event as a beautiful or exciting picture.
As historical and artistic documents，photos can become more important over time. Today photojournalists still have their pictures appear in newspapers and magazines. They also publish them in books and on the Internet.

(答案→)B 解析：照片无处不在。他们装饰着家庭、商店等等。 从照片中,人们可以看到野生动物,城市,甚至恒星、外太空。一张或者一组照片也能讲故事。Jacob Riis是第一批新闻摄影家之一。他用他拍的照片帮助立法以保护那些穷孩子。拍摄数以百计的图片才可能获得一两张好照片。 一张照片既是艺术的杰作,又是一个实际的记录。它可以记录重要的事件,一个美丽的或令人兴奋的景观。作为历史和艺术的文献,照片会变得越来越重要。【小题1】词义推测题。 前一句提到Photos record the beauties of nature.照片记录自然之美，显然这里they是指photos。意为照片把本来很遥远的的东西给拉近了。 故选B。【小题2细节理解由第二段最后一句与第三段最后一句可知，几年后, Lewis Hine拍的小孩在工厂里工作这些照片使公众震惊。他的的图片帮助带来法律以保护这些孩子。故选D。【小题3】细节理解 由第四段最后两句可知，然而一张照片既是艺术的杰作,一个实际的记录。它可以记录重要的事件,一个美丽的或令人兴奋的图画。故选C。【小题4】主旨大意题，考查文章概括能力,通读全文便知，文章主要谈到图片在传递信息中的作用。故选A。
