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 6 herself right in front of my viewLike me，this woman was here to stop，sigh and appreciate the viewPatient as I was，after about 15 minutes，my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take，I grew frustratedWas 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 soShe seemed so content in her observation I didnt want to mess with thatAnother 15minutes passed and I grew bored The woman was still there I decided to take the photo anywayAnd now when I look at it，I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interestingThe landscape，beautiful on its own，somehow coms to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it This photo，with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman whoruinedit，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 othersspace 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 usThat photo is a reminder，a captured moment，an unspoken conversation between two women，separated only by a thin square of glass 41What happened when the author was about to take a photo？AHer camera stopped working BA woman blocked her viewCSomeone asked her to leaveDA friend approached from behind42According to the author，the woman was probablyAenjoying herselfBlosing her patienceCwaiting for the sunset7 Dthinking about her past43In the authors opinion，what makes the photo so alive？AThe rich color of the landscape BThe perfect positioning of the cameraCThe womans existence in the photoDThe soft sunlight that summer day44The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understandAthe need to be close to natureBthe importance of private spaceCthe joy of the vacation in ItalyDthe shared passion for beauty45The passage can be seen as the authors reflections uponAa particular life experienceBthe pleasure of travelingCthe art of photographyDa lost friendship46（12.5 分）This month，Germanys transport minister，Alexander Dobrindt，proposed the first set of rules for autonomous vehicles（自主驾驶车辆）They would define the drivers role in such cars and govern how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lostThe proposal attempts to deal with what some call thedeath valleyof autonomous vehicles：the grey area between semiautonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driverless futureDobrindt 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 wheelto check email，saythe cars maker is responsible if there is a crash The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic driving，says DobrindtIt 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 lawyersThe liability（法律责任）issue is the biggest one of them all，says Natasha Merat 8 at the University of Leeds，UKAn assumption behind UK insurance for driverless cars，introduces earlier this year，insists that a humanbe watchful and monitoring the roadat every moment But that is not what many people have in mind when thinking of driverless carsWhen you saydriverless cars，people expect driverless cars Merat saysYou knowno driverBecause of the confusion，Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully automated without operation Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport rather than vehicles you own，says Ryan Calo at Stanford University，CaliforniaThat is happening in the UK and Singapore，where governmentprovided driverless vehicles are being launched That would go down poorly in the US，howeverThe idea that the government would take over driverless cars and treat them as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here，says Calo 46What does the phrasedeath valleyin Paragraph 2 refer to？AA place where cars often break down BA case where passing a law is impossible CAn area where no driving is permittedDA situation where driversrole is not clear47The proposal put forward by Dobrindt aims toAstop people from breaking traffic rulesBhelp promote fully automatic drivingCprotect drivers of all ages and racesDprevent serious property damage48What do consumers think of the operation of driverless cars？AIt should get the attention of insurance companiesBIt should be the main concern of law makers CIt should not cause deadly traffic accidents DIt should involve no human responsibility49Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future inASingapore9 Bthe UKCthe USDGermany50What could be the best title for passage？AAutonomous Driving：Whose Liability？BFully Automatic Cars：A New BreakthroughCAutonomous Vehicles：Driver Removed!DDriverless Cars：Root of Road Accidents 51（12.5 分）I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waitingBut where are we doing all of this waiting，and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours？To understand the issue，lets take a look at three types ofwaitsThe very purest form of waiting is the WatchedPot WaitIt is without doubt the most annoying of all Take filling up the kitchen sink（洗碗池）as an example There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until its full During these waits，the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socksThis kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless A cousin to the Watched Pot Wait is the Forced Wait This one requires a bit of disciplineProperly preparing packaged noodle soup required a Forced Wait Directions are very specificBring three cups of water to boil，add mix，simmer three minutes，remove from heat，let stand five minutesI have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictlyAfter all，Forced Waiting requires patience Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky Break Wait This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary Unlike the Forced Wait，which is also voluntary，waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen Turning ones life into a waiting game requires faith and hope，and is strictly for the optimists among us On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes，but the LuckyBreak Wait well serves those who are willing to do itAs long as one doesnt come to rely on it，wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting The next time youre standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that youll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls 10 out of the sky，dont be desperateYoure probably just as busy as the next guy 51While doing a WatchedPot Wait，we tend toAkeep ourselves busyBget absentmindedCgrow anxiousDstay focused52What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched Pot Wait？AThe Forced Wait requires some self controlBThe Forced Wait makes people passive CThe WatchedPot Wait needs directionsDThe Watched Pot Wait engages body and br
