　　第二部分：閱讀理解 (共20小題; 每小題2.5分，滿分50分)

　　閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

　　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.

　　36. After realising an email accident, you are likely to feel _______.

　　A. curious B. tired C. awful D. funny

　　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

　　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.

　　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.

　　40. What is the passage mainly about?

　　A. Defining email errors.

　　B. Reducing email mistakes.

　　C. Handling email accidents.

　　D. Improving email writing.

　　36.【答案】C

　　考點：考查主旨大意。

　　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.

　　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.

　　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

　　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.

　　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

　　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

　　考點：考查推理判斷。

　　C

　　This month, Germany’s transport minister, Alexander Dobrindt, proposed the first set of rules for autonomous vehicles(自主駕駛車輛). 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(財產(chǎn)) 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(法律責任) 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 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.

　　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.

　　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

　　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.

　　49. Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future in _________.

　　A. Singapore B. the UK C. the US D. Germany

　　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

　　46.【答案】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.

　　第三部分：寫作

　　第一節(jié)：閱讀表達(共5小題;每小題2分，滿分10分)

　　閱讀短文，并按照題目要求用英語回答問題。

　　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 need 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(堅持不懈).”

　　Now I get to work with Dad a lot, which I love. We 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)

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

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

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

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

　　56. 【答案】

　　She should make her bed, do her homework and drink no alcohol.

　　Or: Making her bed, doing her homework and drinking no alcohol.

　　【解析】

　　試題分析：根據(jù)文章第一段的句子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. 可知作者愛麗斯的父親給她制定了自己鋪床、做作業(yè)和不許喝酒的規(guī)定。

　　57. 【答案】

　　I got/was criticised/scolded.

　　【解析】

　　試題分析：根據(jù)文章第二段畫線句子后面的內(nèi)容：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.可以判斷出我和父親早年的時候一樣，面對了許多次的拒絕，即受到了批評。

　　58. 【答案】He encouraged/comforted/inspired her.

　　【解析】

　　59. 【答案】

　　They are both passionate about acting and interested in people.

　　【解析】

　　試題分析：根據(jù)文章最后一段中的We both passionate about acting, which comes from us being so interested in people.可以判斷出愛麗斯和她的父親的共同點就是對演藝事業(yè)充滿了激情，對人們感興趣。

　　60. 【答案】

　　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.

　　【解析】

　　試題分析：根據(jù)第一段的句子 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.和第二段的句子As expected, I got a roasting, but I now understand why I need discipline.可知，愛麗斯的父親對女兒嚴格要求，是一個嚴父。由第四段內(nèi)容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(堅持不懈).”可以判斷出愛麗斯的父親對女兒的關愛和鼓勵，所以判斷出愛麗斯的父親是一個好父親，是女兒力量的源泉。

　　________________________________________________________________________________________

　　________________________________________________________________________________________

　　Yours,

　　Li Jin

　　【答案】略

　　【解析】這是一封郵件，要點都已經(jīng)給出，關鍵在于要點要全面，不能有遺漏和省略。但是要點只是提綱，考生還要在此基礎上增加細節(jié)，不要逐字逐句翻譯，同時注意謀篇布局的順序，運用合適的連接詞連接全文，同時選擇高級的詞匯和語法項目讓文章更有文采。審題時注意本文時態(tài)主要是一般現(xiàn)在時和一現(xiàn)在完成時，描述要盡量選擇簡潔的語言，運用合適的語法規(guī)則和詞匯把各要點都準確表述出來。難點在于選擇詞匯和句型，可以靈活運用高級詞匯和固定短語準確表述。還要用適當?shù)倪B接詞把句子連接起來，這樣文章顯得更連貫。
