Having studied John Berger’s Ways of Seeing, you will write a four-page image analysis essay and interpret what you “see” when you study the visual text. Your focus is not simply to describe the visual text you’re analyzing, but to explain to the readers the argument you believe is proposed by the visual text.

Context:

Some visual texts can motivate, persuade and/or influence. Advertisements, political cartoons, art or campaign posters that are concerned with social or political issues are examples of this category of visual text. We are surrounded everyday by visual arguments or attempts at persuasion.

Instructions:

◆ Select a visual text that you believe presents an argument to its viewers.

◆ Briefly study the visual text you’ve selected and underline the central argument its designers are trying to make.

◆ Analyze the design elements used and the organization of the text in order to determine some of the decisions the designer or artist has made.

◆ Use the process of “observation/inference/evaluation” to check your essay and determine the tools the designer or artist is using to persuade you.

Schedule & Due Date:

(All work is due at the beginning of class on the dates listed below; late work will be downgraded.)

March 1st: Select three visual texts for assignment consideration.

An English mother, Liz Pinfield-Wells, has recycled more than 2,600 pounds (1,200 kg) of trash (垃圾) through a DIY recycling center in her garden shed (棚) in Dawley Shropshire. Pinfield-Wells established the recycling center after the birth of her third child when she discovered that her town’s roadside recycling program did not accept certain items.

The recycling center accepts 30 different categories of recyclable waste. Pin field-Wells encouraged the public to leave their mixed recycled items at the end of her driveway, and dozens of residents have since dropped off their trash in her shed. She has even accepted Pringles tubes, which have metal and plastic components and should not be placed in the roadside bin. “Setting up the recycling drop-off center, in my front garden has hopefully helped the community to recycle more. It can sometimes seem a little difficult knowing where to start but with every small step, it gets that little bit easier,” she said.

Every month, she sends the collected items in vacuum-packed (真空包装的) bags to TerraCycle, a firm that turns the waste into small plastic balls for use in other products, such as watering cans and benches. The weight of the trash is then changed into points for money, which can be paid out twice a year to a charity or sports organization of her choice.

In the last three years, Pinfield-Wells has raised more than £1,000, which she has donated to her 14-year-old daughter Zoe’s gymnastic group to buy new equipment. She has also donated money to another local charity to buy woodchips for their community garden.

Pinfield-Wells hopes that her recycling center will raise awareness about the importance of recycling and encourage others to take small steps to reduce their carbon footprint. She has created a Facebook group for here eco-center recycling shed, which now has over 1,000 members.

4. What inspired Liz to start the program?

A. Overloading trash. B. Her preference for DIY practice.

C. Her children’s encouragement. D. Limitation of local trash service.

5. What does TerraCycle do?

A. It develops plastic tubes.

B. It produces vacuum-packed bags.

C. It processes waste into small plastic balls.

D. It supplies woodchips for community gardens.

6. What is Liz’s expectation of her center?

A. It will get new equipment. B. It will boost community economy.

C. It will replace the local trash service. D. It will motivate more people to take action.

7. Which of the following best describes Liz Pinfield-Wells?

A. Ambitious and intelligent. B. Responsible and thoughtful.

C. Adventurous and determined. D. Pioneering and humble.

C

In a strawberry field surrounded by strawberry fields on the outskirts of Santa Maria, a pair of robots have been picking berries all summer.

Each robot, made by a Colorado company called Tortuga AgTech, rolls in the field on wheels, then stops in front of a plant. A mechanical arm operates its sensor among the leaves; machine vision software scans the sensor data in search of ripe berries. If an unripe berry is in the way, the robot repositions for a better angle. As nipper-grabber (夹爪) mounted in the middle of the sensors stretches to cut the berry’s stem (茎), then cautiously places it in awaiting plastic container at the robot’s base.

Tortuga’s robots are designed to pick strawberries from plants grown on hydroponic (水培的) tabletops, not the ground shadberries. The tabletop system enables Tortuga’s strawberry robots to work by making berms cower to be poked up with robotic arms and protecting the robots from direct exposure to the elements.

Since hitting this field last spring, the robots are on their way to picking nearly as many berries as human pickers, and with 95% accuracy, according to Tortuga. Unlike a human, the Tortuga robots don’t need breaks, can’t get sick, are always ready to work and can pick all day and into the night. With wages making up so much of a grower’s expense, the allure of a robots increased reliability and potential to become more cost-efficient over time is hard to resist.

I do think the best humans are going to be able to outperform robots at these judgment-driven tasks,” said Eric Adamson, Tortuga’s cofounder and chief executive. “But that’s OK. It doesn’t have to be better than every human; it just has to be better than enough people.”

Meanwhile, the team behind Tortuga sees agricultural robots as more than labor-saving devices. They see them as the only way that an industry facing climate change, land use and chemical regulation can adapt and survive.

8. How can the robot detect ripe strawberries?

A. By analyzing the sensor data. B. By observing their positions.

C. By monitoring their stems. D. By testing them in containers.

9. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?

A. Add some relevant information. B. Provide some advice for growers.

C. Summarize the previous paragraphs. D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.

10. What does the underlined word “allure” in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Pressure. B. Appeal. C. Impact. D. Expansion.

11. What is the text mainly about?

A. Robots replacing human labor.

B. Urgent need for agricultural robots.

C. Robots shaping the future of strawberry.

D. Great challenges of future robots.

D

All human languages use vowels and consonants (元音和辅音) to express ideas. Most primates (灵长类) communicate almost using vowel-like calls, but non-human great apes (猿), like chimpanzees, produce consonant-like sounds to varying degrees. This raises the question of where consonants came from, says Adriano Lameira at the University of Warwick. To find it out, he studied existing literature to see how common consonants are among the great apes.

He found that orangutans (猩猩), which spend most of their time in the trees, produce a greater number and variety of consonant sounds than gorillas and chimpanzees living on the ground. “Orangutans have rich sounds like kiss sounds, scrapes and clicks.” says Lameira. They typically use these sounds while building nests or commencing with their young.

Lameira thinks that living in the trees may explain that Great apes are exports at processing protected foods. Like nuts, which often requires tools. While living in trees, however, orangutans must always use at least one arm to maintain stability. They have therefore developed more complex control of their lips, tongues and jaws, allowing them to use their mouths as a “fifth limb” orangutans can peel oranges just with lips, for example.

This advanced motor skill enables orangutans make consonant-like sounds, argues Lameira. This could mean that our early ancestors developed consonant sounds while hanging around in the trees, too. “There’s a growing sense that our dependency on trees was much larger and deeper than we think,” says Lameira.

The link between feeding and sounds doesn’t apply to smaller tree-living primates like monkeys, argues Lameira, because their size and tails make them more stable on branches and they eat differently.

“This is an interesting assumption worth testing,” says Chris Petkov at Newcastle University, though he questions some aspects. As humans aren’t tree-living, there must be other reasons why consonants remain, which could be tested by characterising consonant-like sounds more systematically across species, he says.

12. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A. Why vowels and consonants are used. B. What ideas the consonants express.

C. Where the consonants came from. D. How common the consonants are.

13. What fact can support Adriano Lamerica’s assumption about orangutans?

A. They build nests with their young. B. They are skillful in employing tools.

C. They show stability in controlling arms. D. They gain advanced motor skill of mouths.

14. What can we infer from Adriano Lameira’s findings?

A. Consonant sounds were made by our earliest ancestors.

B. Our ancestors depended more on trees than believed.

C. The link between feeding and sounds applies to monkeys.

D. Monkeys differ from orangutans in eating habits.

15. What is Chris Petkov’s attitude to Adriano Lameira’s assumption?

A. Opposed. B. Puzzled. C. Confident. D. Cautious.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Most of us never forget the person that was there for us in our darkest times. Apparently, penguins (企鹅) don’t either.

On a typical day, off the coast of a small Brazilian island, Joao Pereira de Souza headed out fishing. He was disheartened to find that an oil leak had polluted the waters. Staring out at the oily waves, he decided it was not a good day to fish. But walking on the beach that day, he found a struggling penguin, covered in oil and starving.

Joao took the penguin home, and spent a whole week gently cleaning it and nursing it back to health. He named it Dindim, a Portuguese word meaning “ice pop”. Dindim is a Magellanic penguin, a species known for living in the seas of South America. In order to breed (繁殖), they must return to Patagonia, 5,000 miles from Joao’s home.

After a week of rehabilitation (康复), Joao patiently took Dindim back to the sea and taught it how to swim again. When Dindim could swim quite well, Joao took it out into the sea by boat and dropped it off to encourage it to swim back to its home. But when he was back to shore, he found the penguin waiting for him. Joao made two more attempts later, but each time the bird would just return to Joao’s home. It seemed that Dindim had already formed a family bond with Joao and wouldn’t leave.

Joao had no choice but to keep the little creature. During the following months, Dindim would follow behind Joao to fish on the coast joyfully. Dindim also liked to lie on Joao’s lap, letting Joao give it showers, allowing Joao to feed it fish and to pick it up. Joao and his family enjoyed the company of Dindim. But deep inside Joao’s heart, he knew Dindim belonged to the wild. Gradually, the hot summer days witnessed the change of its new feathers. Was it time to say “goodbye”?

注意：

1. 续写词数成为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Suddenly one morning, Joao found Dindim disappeared.

A few months later, Joao heard some familiar cries in his backyard.
