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 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.

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

C. the art of photography

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.

B. the pleasure of traveling

D. a lost friendship
