定位

1…Besides its residence in Edinburgh, it owned Press Estate, 650 acres of farmland about 35 miles southeast of the city. The family often stayed at Press Castle, the large mansion on the northern edge of the property, and Alexander spent much of his childhood in the area, playing on the beach near Eyemouth or fishing in the streams nearby.

2… Although he never liked the prospect of a business career, he stayed with it to please his family. In October 1855, however, he emigrated to Canada with his wife Agnes Elder Robertson and they settled in Montreal.

3 Henderson learned photography in Montreal around the year 1857 and quickly took it up as a serious amateur. He became a personal friend and colleague of the Scottish- Canadian photographer William Notman. The two men made a photographic excursion to Niagara Falls in 1860 and they cooperated on experiments with magnesium flares as a source of artificial light in 1865. They belonged to the same societies and were among the founding members of the Art Association of Montreal. Henderson acted as chairman of the association's first meeting, which was held in Notman's studio on 11 January 1860.

4??In spite of their friendship, their styles of photography were quite different. While Notman's landscapes were noted for their bold realism, Henderson for the first 20 years of his career produced romantic images, showing the strong influence of the British landscape tradition…

5  In 1866, he gave up his business to open a photographic studio, advertising himself as a portrait and landscape photographer. From about 1870 he dropped portraiture to specialize in landscape photography and other views…

7…That same year, while in the lower St Lawrence River region, he took some photographs of the construction of the lntercolonial Railway. This undertaking led in 1875 to a commission from the railway to record the principal structures along the almost-completed line connecting Montreal to Halifax…

9 In 1892 Henderson accepted a full-time position with the CPR as manager of a photographic department which he was to set up and administer. His duties included spending four months in the field each year. That summer he made his second trip west, photographing extensively along the railway line as far as Victoria. He continued in this post until 1897, when he retired completely from photography.

答案

第1段第四句出现了定位词Press Estate，第五句出现了Press Castle（从名字可以看出这个城堡是属于Press estate的），这句中的Alexander 对应题干中的Henderson，这中的spent much of his childhood in the area与题干中的rarely visited…when he was younger是矛盾的，所以第1题答案是FALSE。

第2段三句出现了定位词business career和his family，这句中的stayed with it（business career）对应题干中的pursued【追求】，这句中的to please his family对应题干中的it was what his family wanted，所以第2题答案是TRUE。

第3段第二句出现了定位词1865和William Notman，第三句中出现了定位词experiments，但这句到这段结尾都没有出现跟题干对应的surprised by和result对应的信息，所以第3题答案是NOT GIVEN。

第4段第二句出现了定位词landscapes，第 一句中的their styles were quite different与题干中的many similarities是矛盾的，第二句中给出了两个人具体的风格Notman's landscapes were noted for their bold realism与Henderson for the first 20 years of his career produced romantic images，前者是现实主义，后者是浪漫主义，所以两者风格不一样，原文内容与题目内容相反，所以第4题答案是FALSE。

第5段第 一句出现了定位词in 1866和studio，但这句中没有跟题干中的his home对应的信息，往下的内容跟下一道题对应，所以第5题答案是NOT GIVEN。

第5段第二句出现了定位词portraiture和landscape photography，这句中的dropped【放弃】对于题干中的gave up，这句中的to specialize in【为了专攻…】对应题干中的so that he could focus on，所以第6题答案是TRUE.

第7段第四句中出现了定位词lntercolonial Railway，第五句出现了定位词Montreal 和Halifax，第五句中的a commission【录用；佣金】对应题干中的work for，第五句中的almost complete【快完成的】与题干中的had been finished【被完成了】是矛盾的，所以第7答案是FALSE。

第9段第 一句出现了定位词CPR对应题干中的Canadian Pacific Railway，第 一句中的a full-time position与这段最后一句中的He continued in this post until 1897, when he retired completely from photography【他一直持续这个岗位到1897年彻底从摄影行业退出为止】对应题干中的Henderson’s last work as a photographer，所以第8题答案是TRUE。
