廣東省高考英語閱讀理解題目及答案
Three decades ago，Steve McCurry took arguably the most famous picture of all time.Yet even after all this time，the photographer is filled with enthusiasm when he talks about Afghan Girl.
“I knew she had an incredible look，a sharp gaze，”he recalls.“It was before digital camera and with the big crowd and dust all around，you never knew what would happen with the film.When I developed the picture，I knew it was special.I showed it to the editor of the National Geographic，and he jumped to his feet and shouted，‘That’s our next cover’.”
Not only did Afghan Girl become the magazine’s next cover，but the most successful in its distinguished history.The striking portrait of 12yearold Sharbat Gula，in a refugee camp，was taken in December 1984 and published the following year.
When McCurry reflects upon its popularity，what excites him most is the impact that this single image has had on the real world.
“People volunteered to work in the refugee camps because of that photograph，”he says.“Afghans are incredibly proud of it，as the girl is poor but shows great pride，strong will and selfrespect.It drew attention to their poor situation，and inspired a lot of people.” It also led the National Geographic to set up the Afghan Children’s Fund—and meant that to this day，McCurry is never charged a fare by appreciative Afghan taxi drivers.
The portrait forms the centerpiece of a major exhibition of McCurry’s work，which opened recently in Monza，Italy，and will run until 6 April.The famous photograph is just one of thousands of extraordinary pictures that McCurry has taken over a 40year career，during which he has won dozens of awards.For many years，frontline war photography like this was McCurry’s stock in trade.Indeed，it enabled him to make his name.
