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, i n 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.
4. 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.
5. 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
6. 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.
7. 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
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D
【解析】

Alice Moore is a teenager entrepreneur(创业者), who in May 2015 set up her business AilieCandy. By the time she was 13, her company was worth millions of dollars with the invention of a super-sweet treat that could save kids’ teeth, instead of destroying them.
It all began when Moore visited a bank with her dad. On the outing, she was offered a candy bar. However, her dad reminded her that sugary treats were bad for her teeth. But Moore was sick of missing out on candies. So she desired to get round the warning, “Why can’t I make a healthy candy that’s good for my teeth so that my parents can’t say no to it?” With that in mind, Moore asked her dad if she could start her own candy company. He recommended that she do some research and talk to dentists about what a healthier candy would contain.
With her dad’s permission, she spent the next two years researching online and conducting trials to get a recipe that was both tasty and tooth-friendly. She also approached dentists to learn more about teeth cleaning. Consequently, she succeeded in making a kind of candy only using natural sweeteners, which can reduce oral
bacteria.
Moore then used her savings to get her business off the ground. Afterwards, she and her father secured their first business meeting with a supermarket owner, who finally agree d to sell Moore’s product—CanCandy.
As CanCandy’s success grows, so does Moore’s credibility as a young entrepreneur. Moore is enthusiastic about the candy she created, and she’s also positive about what the future might bring. She hopes that every kid can have a clean mouth and a broad smile.
Meanwhile, with her parents’ help, Moore is generally able to live a normal teenage life. Although she founded her company early on in life, she wasn’t driven primarily by profit. Moore wants to use her unique talent to help others find their smiles. She donates 10% of AilicCandy’s profits to Big Smiles. With her talent and determination, it appears that the sky could be the limit for Alice Moore.
8. How did Moore react to her dad’s warning?
A. She argued with him.
B. She tried to find a way out.
C. She paid no attention.
D. She chose to consult dentists.
9. What is special about CanCandy?
A. It is beneficial to dental health.
B. It is free of sweeteners.
C. It is sweeter than other candies.
D. It is produced to a denti sts’ recipe.
10. What does Moore expect from her business?
A. To earn more money.
B. To help others find smiles.
C. To make herself stand out.
D. To beat other candy companies.
11. What can we learn from Alice Moore’s story?
A. Fame is a great thirst of the young.
B. A youth is to be regarded with respect.
C. Positive thinking and action result in success.
D. Success means getting personal desires satisfied
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. 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 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
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 Terrafugia was he lped 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.
12. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The basic data of the Transition.
B. The advantages of flying cars.
C. The potential market for flying cars.
D. The designers of the Transition.
13. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?
A. It causes traffic jams.
B. It is difficult to operate.
C. It is very expensive.
D. It burns too much fuel.
14. What is the government’s attitude to the development of the flying car?
A. Cautious
B. Favorable.
C. Ambiguous.
D. Disapproving.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Flying Car at Auto Show
B. T he Transition’s First Flight
C. Pilots’ Dream Coming True
D. Flying Car Closer to Reality 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。

文章主要讲述Terrafugia公司，研制出了飞车，试飞成功，预计将于明年进行销售。

本文主要对飞车的历史由来及其构架进行了介绍。

【12题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据第一段内容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
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 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.可知特拉弗吉亚公司(Terrafugia Inc.)周一说，其新型飞行汽车已经完成首飞，离明年销售这种飞行汽车的目标又近了一步。

这款名为Transition的汽车有两个座椅、轮子和可折叠的机翼，可以像汽车一样行驶。

Transition上个月在1400英尺的高空飞行了8分钟，在公路上可以达到每小时70英里，在飞行中可以达到每小时115英里，油箱容量为23加仑，在空中每小时可燃烧5加仑。

在地面上，它每加仑能跑35英里。

由此可知，第一段主要是对Transition的基本数据进行了介绍。

故选A。

【13题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段中But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000.可知但别指望它会出现在太多的车道上。

预计将花费27.9万美元。

由此可知，因为Transition 的价格较高，所以不太可能在太多的马路上出现。

故选C。

【14题详解】
推理判断题。

根据倒数第二段中The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly.( 政府已经允许该公司使用特殊材料，使其更容易飞行)以及最后一段Mann said Terrafugia 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.( Mann说，美国联邦航空管理局五年前决定为轻型运动飞机制定一套单独的标准，这一标准低于大型飞机飞行员的标准，Terrafugia因此得到了帮助)由此可推知，政府对于飞车的研发是比较支持的。

故选B。

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据第一段中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.可知特拉弗吉亚公司(Terrafugia Inc.)周一说，其新型飞行汽车已经完成首飞，离明年销售这种飞行汽车的目标又近了一步。

结合文章主要讲述Terrafugia公司，研制出了飞车，试飞成功，预计将于明年进行销售。

本文主要对飞车的历史由来及其构架进行了介绍。

故D选项“飞行汽车更接近现实”最符合文章标题。

故选D。

第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

We all go through times when we feel we are not good enough. We might feel that way at work or in school or even as a parent. Here are some things to remember when you feel like that.
___16___ When I started my Ph.D. program, I felt like the dumbest person in every class. I couldn’t believe how many smart people were there. I didn’t know if I could measure up to their intelligence or compete in the same league with them. Years later, I found out that almost everyone felt this way, too.
You are unique and have special talents. If you can barely make Hamburger Helper, don’t compare yourself to your sister who is a chef(厨师). I’m sure you can do many things that she can’t.___17___You are you. You are not your sister.
You need to stop chasing perfection. It doesn’t exist. What’s perfect to me is not perfect to you. So if you think that there is some objective measurement of perfection and that the rest of the world is judging you against, then you are wrong. ___18___
___19___ Our sense of self-worth is based in our thoughts. We have been programmed for many years with thoughts about ourselves. Messages come from our parents, our peers, teachers, the media and our own labels. But guess what? They are only thoughts. Just because you think these thoughts, it doesn’t make them true.___20___
A. You have the power to change your future.
B. So focus on your own passions and talents.
C. You are not the only one who feels this way.
D. If you love yourself for who you are, other people will notice.
E. You need to change your thought patterns.
F. One of my favorite sayings is, “Don’t believe a negative thought you think!”
G. Most people are too worried about their own lack of perfection to judge you. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. G 19. E 20. F
【解析】
本文为说明文，文章主要介绍了每个人都认为自己不够完美，都会因此而产生负面情绪或压
力。

同时还给出了一些避免这些压力的建议。

【16题详解】
根据本段最后一句Years later, I found out that almost everyone felt this way, too.可知几年后，我发现几乎每个人都有这样的感觉。

由此可知，你并不是唯一有这种感觉的人。

故C选项“你不是唯一有这种感觉的人”符合语境，故选C。

【17题详解】
根据本段第一句You are unique and have special talents.可知你是独一无二的，你有你自己特殊的才能。

由此可知，本段强调的是要关注的是自己而不是他人，尤其是专注于你自己的激情和才能。

故B选项“所以专注于你自己的激情和才能”符合语境，故选B。

【18题详解】
根据上文You need to stop chasing perfection. It doesn’t exist. What’s perfect to me is not perfect to you. So if you think that there is some objective measurement of perfection and that the rest of the world is judging you against, then you are wrong.可知你需要停止追求完美。

它不存在。

对我来说完美的，对你来说并不完美。

所以，如果你认为对完美有某种客观的衡量，而世界上的其他人都在反对你，那么你就错了。

由此可知，因为完美的标准是不一样的，完美也没有客观的标准来衡量，很多人都担心自己不完美，这样就会带来很多的压力。

故G选项“大多数人都太担心自己的不完美，所以不会评判你”符合语境，故选G。

【19题详解】
根据后文Our sense of self-worth is based in our thoughts.可知我们的自我价值感是基于我们的思想。

由此可知，我们的自我价值感根植于我们自己的思想，所以我们要改变自己的思维模式，那样我们才不会认为自己不完美而产生压力。

故E选项“你需要改变你的思维模式”符合语境，故选E。

【20题详解】
根据上文We have been programmed for many years with thoughts about ourselves. Messages come from our parents, our peers, teachers, the media and our own labels. But guess what? They are only thoughts. Just because you think these thoughts, it doesn’t make them true.可知多年来，我们一直被设定为反思我们自己。

信息来自我们的父母、同龄人、老师、媒体和我们自己的标签。

但你猜怎么着？它们只是思想。

仅仅因为你有这些想法，并不会使它们成真。

由此可知，想法并不会成真，所以本句强调不要相信我们心里的那些消极
的想法。

故F选项“我最喜欢说的一句话是:‘不要相信你所想的消极想法!’”符合语境，故选F。

第三部分语言知识运用 (共两节，满分45分)
