At my heaviest I weighed 370 pounds. I had a very poor relationship with food: I used it to

telling them about my project. It worked perfectly. Donations began 31 in from hundreds

of people.

Of course, I also took some practical steps to lose weight. I consulted with a physician（内科

focus also gave me new motivation to exercise 33 .

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, felling 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 horrors

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 receivers has read it yet. Write another email

as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief 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, apologizing for your mistake.

Keep the tone measured: don’t handle it too lightly, as people can be offered, especially if your

error suggests a misunderstanding of their incorrect ordering of Chinese names).

Clicking “reply all” unintentionally

You accidentally reveal(透露)to 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 toclear up any difficulties you may

have with this person.

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

第 3页 共 9页

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.

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.

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
