After climbing up a hill for a panoramic（全景的） view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I stopped 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 enjoy the view.After about 15 minutes, although I was patient, I grew upset. Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape（风景）? Sure, I could have asked her, but something prevented me from doing so. She seemed so satisfied in her observation. I didnt want to disturb her.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 it interesting. The scenery, beautiful on its own, somehow es to life and breathes because of this woman.This photo, with the unique beauty 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 strangers bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I dont 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 enjoy beauty, that we all share a mon 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.49. 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.50. According to the author, the woman was probably_.A. enjoying herselfB. losing her patienceC. waiting for the sunsetD. thinking about her past51. In the authors opinion, what makes the photo so alive?A. The rich color of the landscape.B. The soft sunlight that summer day.C. The womans presence in the photo.D. The perfect positioning of the camera.52. The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand _.A. the importance of private spaceB. the joy of the vacation in ItalyC. the need to be close to natureD. the shared love for beauty53. The passage can be seen as the authors deep thinking upon _.A. a particular life experienceB. the pleasure of travelingC. the art of photographyD. a lost friendshipCElectric CarsWhere do cars get their energy from? For most cars, the answer is petrol. But some cars use electricity. These cars have special motors that get their power from large batteries. An electric car being chargedMost people tend to think of electric cars as a new invention, but they have been around for a long time. They were popular when the technology for petrol engines was not very advanced. Recently, electric cars have again bee popular because people want cars that pollute less. Electric cars are better than petrol cars in several ways. The biggest benefit is reduced pollution. In areas where there are more electric cars, there is less pollution. The second benefit of electric cars is a reduction in the dependence on foreign oil. There are several countries, including the United States, which dont want to depend on oil ing from other countries to power their transportation systems. Since electric cars can run on electricity from coal or nuclear power stations, there is less of a need to import oil. Despite the benefits of electric cars, there are some problems with them as well. One disadvantage is that electric cars are more expensive than normal cars. This is mostly because of the high cost of the batteries these cars need. Electric cars run on batteries, just like a mobile phone does. But unlike a mobile phone, you cannot charge your electric cars battery by plugging it into a wall. They need to be charged in special places. Right now, there is a lack of places where people can charge the batteries. Another problem is that electric cars cannot travel as far as gas cars. Some people are afraid that the battery will run out of electricity (and the car will stop) before they reach their destination.Despite these problems, many people, including automobile industry experts, believe that the number of electric cars will increase in the future.54. Whats the main idea of Paragraph 3? A. Electric cars make some countries independent. B. Electric cars cause no pollution to the environment. C. Electric cars have some advantages over petrol cars. D. Electric cars need electricity from solar or wind energy.55. Which of the following is not mentioned as the disadvantages of electric cars? A. Petrol cars are cheaper than electric cars. B. Electric cars need special motors to get power. C. Petrol cars can travel farther than electric cars.D. Electric cars need special places to get charged.56. We can infer from the passage that _. A. electric cars will take the place of petrol cars B. no one holds hope for electric cars at present C. electric cars waste more energy than beforeD. more and more people will use electric cars57. The main purpose of the passage is to_.A. argue and prove B. attract and discussC. inform and explain D. advertise and conclude第二节 阅读回答问题（共5小题，11分，58-61题每题2分，62题3分）Im a 34-year-old man, married, live in a nice house, and have a successful career as an educational consultant. But my life was not always so great. I had a learning disability from an early age. I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help. Still, I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools. My life improved remarkably when I discovered art. The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words. I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay（黏土）. Here I learned my first important lesson: disabled as I was in language, I could still be smart and well express myself with clay. And my confidence came along. I got my next lesson from rock climbing. It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start. I soon noticed it wasnt a talent thing; it was practice. So I did it more. After about five years of climbing, I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall. I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time, you will get better at it.Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write. Every day I practiced reading and writing, which I used toavoid as much as possible. After two hard years, I was literate. Having gone through the long process with art, rock climbing, and reading and writing, now Ive got to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown, hard, but interesting. 根据上面短文内容，完成下列问题的回答。并将相关信息写在在答题卡的相应题号后的横线上。答语要结构正确，书写工整，字迹清楚。58.
