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 didnt 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 strangers 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 other s space.Perhaps this is what photo s are for:文档来源为:从网络收集整理.word 版本可编辑.欢迎下载支持.5文档收集于互联网，已整理，word 版本可编辑.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 authors opinion,what makes the photo so alive?A.The rich color of the landscape.B.The perfect positioning of the camera.C.The womans 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 Londoners are great readers.They read and buy vast numbers of newspapers and magazines and of books especially paperbacks,which are still comparatively cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing.They still continue to buy“proper”books,too,printed on good paper and bound(装订)between hard covers.There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in bookselling.Perhaps the best known of these is Charring Cross Road in the very heart of London.Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found,from the celebrated one which boasts of being“the biggest bookshop in the world”to the 文档来源为:从网络收集整理.word 版本可编辑.欢迎下载支持.6文档收集于互联网，已整理，word

books,in foreign books,in books on philosophy,politics or any other of the countless subjects about which books may be written.One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet!Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books,Charring Cross Road is not the cheapest.For the really cheap second-hand books,the collectors must venture off the beaten track,to Farringdon Road,for example,in the East Central district of London.Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops.The booksellers come along each morning and pour out their sacks of books onto small handcarts.And the collectors,some professionals and some amateurs,have been waiting for them.In places like this they can still,occasionally,pick up for a few pence an old one that may be worth many pounds.28.“Londoners are great readers.”means that _.A.Londoners are great because they read a lot B.There are a great number of readers in London C.Londoners are readers who read only great books D.Londoners read a lot 29.According to this passage,Charring Cross Road _.A.is in the suburbs of London B.is famous for its bookshops C.contains various kinds of shops D.is the busiest street in London 30.In this passage,what does the underlined part“venture off the beaten track”mean?A.Buy books in a most busy street.B.Move away from a busy street.C.Waste time looking for books.D.Take a risk of losing ones life.31.On Farringdon Road,_.A.you can find fine books for the latest books B.there are only small bookshops for the secondhand books C.you can see booksellers selling books on handcarts D.the same books as the ones in the bookshops of Charring Cross Road are sold 文档来源为:从网络收集整理.word 版本可编辑.欢迎下载支持.7文档收集于互联网，已整理，word 版本可编辑.D You must have heard of the formula E=mc2.This is still the most famous scientific formula ever worked out.It remains an important cornerstone of science,and devising it made Albert Einstein famous.Before he published his calculations in 1904 that showed why E=mc2,scientists around the world strongly believed that E=l/2 mc2.Today,a high school physics student can do the calculations and understand what Albert Einstein did to become famous.Albert Einstein was born into a Jewish family in Germany on March 14,1879.He only started to speak when he was 5.Young Einstein did not do well at school because he didn t work hard in the classes that bored him.As a result,many people thought that he was stupid.Eventually he became interested in science and tried to discover a law of physics that would explain how everything in science works.In 1922,he received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics.Later,he moved to America and became a professor at Princeton University.In 1939,Einstein,together with Leo Szilard,a Hungarian-American physicist,wrote a letter to the U.S.president,F.D.Roosevelt,saying that America should develop an atomic bomb before the Germans did.This letter resulted in the development of atomic bombs that would be dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945.Einstein died at Princeton,New Jersey,on April 18,1955 before he could find out exactly how the universe worked.Einstein published over 300 scientific works and over 150 non-scientific works.Most of his ideas are still used by many scientists today.His name“Einstein”has become synonymous with genius.32.Einstein is famous mainly because _.A.he created the word“genius”B.he built the first atomic bomb ever C.he knew President Roosevelt well D.his ideas are still being used by scientists today 33.As a child,Einstein was considered stupid because _.文档来源为:从网络收集整理.word 版本可编辑.欢迎下载支持.8文档收集于互联网，已整理，word 版本可编辑.A.he refused to work hard B.he thought the classes were boring C.he was born into a Jewish family D.he didn t do well at school 34.Einstein helped persuade President Roosevelt to _.A.invade Japan with atomic bombs B.end World War II with atomic bombs C.invent atomic bombs ahead of Germans D.discover how the universe worked 35.What can we learn from this passage?A.All roads lead to Rome.B.Hard work often results in success.C.Schooling is unnecessary.D.All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.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。To someone stuck in a traffic jam,the ability to fly right over other cars seems like a dream.36 That may be changing.Nearly a dozen companies around the globe are competing to be the first to develop a flying car.One of the ideas being developed is a car with wings that unfold for flight.But,most arent cars at all.They are more like helicopters and are operated by a battery-powered motor.37 Companies have to convince the government that the flying cars are safe.They will also need longer-lasting batteries.And,cities will have to figure out how to handle thousands of flying cars in the sky.Still,some companies are moving forward.38 Especially as cities grow more crowded and people spend more time being stuck in traffic.These taxis would deliver passengers to the rooftops of office buildings during rush hours.“In as little as 10 years,products could be on the market that revolutionize urban travel for millions of people,”said Zack Lovering.He is the leader of a 文档来源为:从网络收集整理.word 版本可编辑.欢迎下载支持.9文档收集于互联网，已整理，word 版本可编辑.project to develop a self-flying taxi for Airbus,a European company that makes airplanes.39 Uber doesnt have any plans to develop a flying car itself.But,the company is advising several companies that are developing them.40 Designers think that if enough people want to buy them,prices can be kept affordable.A.Some flying cars are designed for human pilots.B.It s still unclear how much flying cars will cost.C.They see a need for“air taxis”and personally owned flying cars.D.Companies will also have to get permission from the government.E.The Uber ride-share company sees air taxis as the future of on-call transportation.F.Inventors and business people tried to make flying cars,but have never been able to.G.There are many challenges that could keep flying cars from becoming part of everyday life.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节,满分 55）第一节完形填空（共20 小题；每小题1.5 分,满分 30 分）阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和
