第二部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2.5分,满分50分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

A

Suppose you’re in a rush, feeling tired, not paying attention to your screen, and you send an email that could get you in trouble.

Realisation will probably set in seconds after you’ve clicked “send”. You freeze in horror and burn with shame.

What to do? Here are four common email accidents, and how to recover.

Clicking “send” too soon

Don’t waste your time trying to find out if the receiver has read it yet. Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief title explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored.

Writing the wrong time

The sooner you notice, the better. Respond quickly and briefly, apologising for your mistake. Keep the tone measured: don’t handle it too lightly, as people can be offended, especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture(i.e. incorrect ordering of Chinese names).

Clicking “reply all” unintentionally

You accidentally reveal(透露) to the entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner, or what holiday you’d like to take. In this instance, the best solution is to send a quick, light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness. But it can quickly rise to something worse, when everyone starts hitting “reply all” to join in a long and unpleasant conversation. In this instance, step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down.

Sending an offensive message to its subject

The most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger. You write an unkind message about someone, intending to send it to a friend, but accidentally send it to the person you’re discussing. In that case, ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry. Explain

your frustrations calmly and sensibly—see it as an opportunity to clear up any difficulties you may have with this person.

【C】36. After realising an email accident, you are likely to feel .

A. curious

B. tired

C. awful

D. funny

【A】37. If you have written the wrong name in an email, it is best to .

A. apologise in a serious manner

B. tell the receiver to ignore the error

C. learn to write the name correctly

D. send a short notice to everyone

【B】38. What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your “reply all”

email?

A. Try offering other choices.

B. Avoid further involvement.

C. Meet other staff members.

D. Make a light-hearted apology.

【D】39. How should you deal with the problem caused by an offensive email?

A. By promising not to offend the receiver again.

B. By seeking support from the receiver’s friends.

C. By asking the receiver to control his anger.

D. By talking to the receiver face to face.

【C】40. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Defining email errors.

B. Reducing email mistakes.

C. Handling email accidents.

D. Improving email writing.

B

Fifteen years ago, I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy. After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.

Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view. Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.

Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so content in her observation. I didn’t want to mess with that.

Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored. The woman was still there. I decided to take

the photo anyway. And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting. The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.

This photo, with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who “ruined” it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom. What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger’s bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don’t even know has been immortalized(使……永存). In some ways, she lives in my house.

Perhaps we all live in each others’ spaces. Perhaps this is what photos are for: to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us.

That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass.

【B】41. What happened when the author was about to take a photo?

A. Her camera stopped working.

B. A woman blocked her view.

C. Someone asked her to leave.

D. A friend approached from behind. 【A】42. According to the author, the woman was probably .

A. enjoying herself

B. losing her patience

C. waiting for the sunset

D. thinking about her past

【C】43. In the author’s opinion, what makes the photo so alive?

A. The rich color of the landscape.

B. The perfect positioning of the camera.

C. The woman’s existence in the photo.

D. The soft sunlight that summer day. 【D】44. The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand .

A. the need to be close to nature

B. the importance of private space

C. the joy of the vacation in Italy

D. the shared passion for beauty

【A】45. The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon .

A. a particular life experience

B. the pleasure of traveling

C. the art of photography

D. a lost friendship

C

This month, Germany’s transport minister, Alexander Dobrindt, proposed the first set of rules for autonomous vehicles(自主驾驶车辆). They would define the driver’s role in such cars and

govern how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost.

The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the “death valley” of autonomous vehicles: the grey area between semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driverless future.

Dobrindt wants three things: that a car always chooses property(财产) damage over personal injury; that it never distinguishes between humans based on age or race; and that if a human removes his or her hands from the driving wheel—to check email, say—the car’s maker is responsible if there is a crash.

“The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic driving,” says Dobrindt. It will put fully driverless cars on an equal legal footing to human drivers, he says.

Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not clear among car makers, consumers and lawyers. “The liability(法律责任) issue is the biggest one of them all,” says Natasha Merat at the University of Leeds, UK.

An assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars, introduced earlier this year, insists that a human “be watchful and monitoring the road” at every moment.

But that is not what many people have in mind when thinking of driverless cars. “When you say ‘driverless cars’, people expect driverless cars.” Merat says. “You know — no driver.”

Because of the confusion, Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully automated without human operation.

Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport rather than vehicles you own, says Ryan Calo at Stanford University, California. That is happening in the UK and Singapore, where government-provided driverless vehicles are being launched.

That would go down poorly in the US, however. “The idea that the government would take over driverless cars and treat them as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here,” says Calo.

【D】46. What does the phrase “death valley” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. A place where cars often break down.

B. A case where passing a law is impossible.

C. An area where no driving is permitted.

D. A situation where drivers’ role is not clear.

【B】47. The proposal put forward by Dobrindt aims to .

A. stop people from breaking traffic rules

B. help promote fully automatic driving

C. protect drivers of all ages and races

D. prevent serious property damage

【D】48. What do consumers think of the operation of driverless cars?

A. It should get the attention of insurance companies.

B. It should be the main concern of law makers.

C. It should not cause deadly traffic accidents.

D. It should involve no human responsibility.

【C】49. Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future in .

A. Singapore

B. the UK

C. the US

D. Germany 【A】50. What could be the best title for the passage?

A. Autonomous Driving: Whose Liability?

B. Fully Automatic Cars: A New Breakthrough

C. Autonomous Vehicles: Driver Removed!

D. Driverless Cars: Root of Road Accidents

D

I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the issue, let’s take a look at three types of “waits”.

The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most annoying of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink(洗碗池) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it’s full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.

A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. “Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes.” I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.

Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary,

waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.

Turning one’s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optimists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn’t come to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.

We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you’re standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you’ll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, don’t be desperate. You’re probably just as busy as the next guy.

【B】51. While doing a Watched-Pot Wait, we tend to .

A. keep ourselves busy

B. get absent-minded

C. grow anxious

D. stay focused

【A】52. What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?

A. The Forced Wait requires some self-control.

B. The Forced Wait makes people passive.

C. The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.

D. The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain.

【B】53. What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait?

A. It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.

B. It doesn’t always bring the desired result.

C. It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.

D. It doesn’t give people faith and hope.

【D】54. What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting?

A. Take it seriously.

B. Don’t rely on others.

C. Do something else.

D. Don’t lose heart.

【C】55. The author supports his view by .

A. exploring various causes of “waits”

B. describing detailed processes of “waits”

C. analyzing different categories of “waits”

D. revealing frustrating consequences of “waits”

第三部分:写作

第一节:阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

阅读短文,按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

In the years of my growing up, Dad was strict with me. He made sure I made my bed and did my homework. He would call in advance to make sure there was no alcohol at the party. I got so angry with him for laying down the law. I would scream, “I hate you!” Dad would yell back, “Good! I don’t care!” Deep down I knew he did.

One time at a party, I drank too much alcohol and got so sick. I said, “Call my dad.” Next thing, Dad was carrying me to the car. I woke up the next morning, thinking I would definitely be criticised. As expected, I got a roasting, but I now understand why I needed discipline.

Dad was 29 when he got his big roles in films. I had an early start at the age of nine with a role in a 1990s TV series, but it wasn’t until I finished film studies that I pursued my career as an actress. Like those early days for Dad, I faced lots of rejections. Working in such a competitive industry, I’ve sometimes thought, “I can’t do this any more.”

Once, after a trip to Hollywood, I returned to Australia so depressed and spent months in my bedroom painting, listening to Eckhart Tolle’s music and trying to find myself again. Dad sat me down and said,“Alice, I know it’s hard, but it’s all about persistence(坚持不懈).”

Now I get to work with Dad a lot, which I love. We are both passionate about acting, which comes from us being so interested in people. If it weren’t for Dad, I wouldn’t be where I am today. He’s my biggest fan, and when you have that in your life you can go a long way.

56. What rules did Alice’s father set for her when she was growing up?(no more than 15 words)

She should make her bed, do her homework and drink no alcohol. Or: Making her bed, doing her homework and drinking no alcohol.

57. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean? (no more than 5 words)

I got/was criticised/scolded.

58. What did Alice’s father do when she felt depressed? (no more than 5 words)

He encouraged/comforted/inspired her.

59. According to the last paragraph, what do Alice and her father have in common? (no more than 10 words)

They are both passionate about acting and interested in people.

60. What do you think of Alice’s father? Please explain. (no more than 20 words)

He is a good/devoted/caring/loving father because he was strict with his daughter and

encouraged her when she was in trouble. Or: He is always supportive /a source of strength.

Whenever she is in trouble, he is there for her.

第二节:书面表达(满分25分)

61. 假设你是李津,与你以前的外籍教师Mrs. Green一直保持联系。近日她来信询问你的近况,请根据以下提示给她回复一封邮件。

(1)简要介绍自己的学习和生活;

参考词汇:第十三届全运会the 13th National Games

Dear Mrs. Green,

I’m so glad to hear from you.

Yours,

Li Jin 【参考范文】

Dear Mrs. Green,

I’m so glad to hear from you. How is everything going? Not having seen you for such a long time, I’ve experienced something new and I am eager to share with you.

As senior students, studying is our priority. Therefore, I devote myself to the school work while at weekends, I prefer to hang out with my friends in the suburb and get myself refreshed. What’s more, with the 13th National Games setting in, I’ve successfully become a volunteer for this sports event, which makes me feel proud. Recently, I’m busy making adequate preparations for it, reading some books about the history and the new development of Tianjin so that I can be

very familiar with the big streets and the locations of famous buildings. And I’m sure I’ll be well qualified for it.

I miss every single day we spent together and I’m looking forward to your coming again.

Best wishes.

Yours,

Li Jin

Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen. Turning one?s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optim ists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn?t co me to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody. We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you?rstanding at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you?ll have to eat until a large bag of c ash falls out of the sky, don?t be desperate. You?re probably just as busy as the next guy. 我在某个地方读到过,我们花了整整三分之一的时间在等待。但是,我们在哪里做这些等待呢?对于像我们这样一个没有耐心的社会来说,这意味着什么呢?为了理解这个问题,让我们来看看三种类型的“等待”。 等待是最纯粹的等待。毫无疑问,这是最令人讨厌的。以厨房洗涤槽为例。当这一切发生的时候,你绝对不能做任何事情,但要让双眼紧盯着水槽,直到它满了为止。在等待的过程中,大脑会从身体上滑出,四处游荡,直到水从柜台边缘流到你的袜子上。这种等待使侍者变得无助和没有头脑。 守望者的表弟是被迫等待的。这需要一点自律。做好包装的面汤,需要有强迫的等待。非常具体的方向。将三杯开水煮沸,加入混合物,煮三分钟,从火中取出,放五分钟。我怀疑是否有人严格遵守了程序。毕竟,强迫等待需要耐心。 也许最强大的等待是幸运的等待。这种等待是不寻常的,因为它大部分是自愿的。不像强迫等待,这也是自愿的,等待你的幸运休息并不一定意味着它会发生。 把一个人的生命变成等待的游戏需要信念和希望,这对我们中间的乐观主义者是严格的。表面上看,这似乎很荒谬,就像在汤混合上的说明一样,但幸运的是,那些愿意去做的人却在等待。只要你不依赖它,希望有几件好事不会伤害到任何人。 我们确实花了很多时间等待。下次你“站在水池边,等着它装满你要吃的面条汤,直到一大袋现金从天上掉下来,不要绝望。”你可能和下一个人一样忙。 C

B I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul — he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would hav e listened to their agents or the studio powers. The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft (技艺)and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other— but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core(核心)of our relationship off the screen. We shared the bel ief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back—he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps fo r kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events. I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words. 24.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first? A. Paul Newman wanted it. B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent. C. He wasn’t famous enough. D. The director recommended someone else. 25.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship? A. They were of the same age. B. They worked in the same theater. C. They were both good actors. D. They have similar characteristics. 26.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Their belief. B. Their care for children. C. Their success. D. Their support for each other. 27.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To show his love of films. B. To remember a friend. C. To introduce a new movie. D. To share his acting experience. C Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle —named the Transition – has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon. Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000. And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway. Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards. Mann said Terraf ugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement
