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.

24．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.
25．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
26．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.
27．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
C
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 agreed 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.
28．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.
29．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 dentists’ recipe.
30．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.
31．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
D
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 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.
32．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.
33．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.
34．What is the government’s attitude to the development of the flying car?
A．Cautious B．Favorable. C．Ambiguous. D．Disapproving.
35．What is the best title for the text?
A．Flying Car at Auto Show B．The Transition’s First Flight
C．Pilots’ Dream Coming True D．Flying Car Closer to Reality
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。
A Diet Without Enough Protein(蛋白质) Can Cause Depression
Depression is a condition so common. 36 The World Health Organization (WHO) calls it “a leading cause of disability.” Difficulty in falling asleep, loss of appetite(胃口), and loss of ability to concentrate are just a few of the other effects of depression. While life events such as the loss of a spouse or a job may create a happening of depression, many cases come from within, such as people’s diet.
As is reported, both before and during a happening of depression, those with the condition show a “poor appetite”. 37 On the other hand, depression may be closely related to protein. Many cases of depression happen to those who don’t eat properly, which then result in lack of protein taken into the body.
38 It all comes down to amino acids (氨基酸). Proteins are made up of amino acids. Both the human brain and nervous system use amino acids as a substance that creates a signal from one brain cell to another or one nerve cell to another. With them communication between the cells becomes possible.
39 But eight of them, the “essential” ones for communication between the brain cells, must be eaten in one’s diet. So a diet which is lacking in protein lessens the signal being sent from one brain cell to the next during a thought. The process can lead to twisted signals, which can not only lead to depression, but also aggression. 40
A. It happens with aggression.
B. It may lead to serious effects.
C. But how lack of protein occurs?
D. There are 20 different amino acids.
E. But what does protein have to do with depression?
F. The poor appetite itself can create a depressed mood.
G. This is why depression can often express itself as anger or aggression.

It had been a year since Susan, an attractive young woman of 34, became blind and she was suddenly thrown into a world of darkness, anger, frustration and self- pity. And all she had to depend on was her husband, Mark.
Mark, an Air Force officer, loved Susan with all his heart and he was determined to help his wife gain the strength and confidence she needed to become independent again.
Finally, Susan felt ready to return to her job, but how would she get there? Mark volunteered to drive her to work each day, even though they worked at opposite ends of the city.
At first, this comforted Susan. Soon, however, Mark decided that Susan had to start taking the bus again on her own. But she was still so fragile(脆弱的), so angry - how would she react?
Just as he predicted, Susan was horrified at the idea of taking the bus alone . "How am I supposed to know where I am going? I feel like you're abandoning me." she responded bitterly.
Mark's heart broke to hear these words, but he knew what had to be done. He promised Susan that he would ride the bus with her, for as long as it took, until she got the hang of it.
For two solid weeks, Mark, in military uniform and all, accompanied Susan to and from work each day. He taught her everything to adapt to her new environment, including befriending the bus drivers who could watch out for her, and save her a seat.
Finally, Susan decided to try the trip on her own. Monday morning arrived, she said good-bye to Mark, and for the first time, they went their separate ways.Before leaving, Mark held Susan into his arms and told her to be confident and try to imagine that he was always with her.
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday... Each day on her own went perfectly, but Susan had never felt better. She was just doing it!
On Friday morning, as she was paying the fare to get off the bus to her office as usual , the driver said, "Young lady, I sure do envy(嫉妒,羡慕) you."
Surprised and curious, she asked the driver, "Why do you say that you envy me?"

【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．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．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．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．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。

How to protect the traditional Chinese cultures?
A heated discussion was held in my class recently in order to encourage us students to protect the traditional Chinese cultures.
The students hold different views about that. Some suggest resisting Western holidays due to their strong influence. Some argue that we are supposed to hold some creative activities to celebrate traditional cultures so that we can have fun during Chinese festivals. Still others consider various competitions should be held at times, which provides more chances for the citizens to recite Chinese poems and practice calligraphy.
In my view, it is high time that we spared no effort to protect the traditional Chinese cultures. Otherwise we will regret one day.
