26、 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 ca
27、mera,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 as
28、k 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 pho
29、to 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”i
30、t,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 a
31、ll 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,separ
32、ated 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 herselfB.losing her pati
33、ence C.waiting for the sunsetD.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

35、hotographyD.a lost friendship 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 d
36、eal 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 hum
37、ans 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 lega
38、l 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 car
39、s,z&xxk 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 co
40、nfusion,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,California.That is happening in the UK and Singapore,where government-
41、provided driverless vehicles are being launched.That would go down poorly in the US,however.“The idea that the government would take over driverless cars and treat them as a public good would get absolutely nowhere here,”says Calo.46.What does the phrase“death valley”in Paragraph 2 refer to?A.A plac
42、e where cars often break down.B.A case where passing a law is impossible.C.An area where no driving is permitted.D.A situation where drivers?role is not clear.47.The proposal put forward by Dobrindt aims to _.A.stop people from breaking traffic rulesB.help promote fully automatic driving C.protect d
43、rivers of all ages and racesD.prevent serious property damage 48.What do consumers think of the operation of driverless cars?A.It should get the attention of insurance companies.B.It should be the main concern of law makers.C.It should not cause deadly traffic accidents.D.It should involve no human
44、responsibility.49.Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future in _.A.SingaporeB.the UKC.the USD.Germany 50.What could be the best title for passage?A.Autonomous Driving:Whose Liability?B.Fully Automatic Cars:A New Breakthrough C.Autonomous Vehicles:Driver Removed!D.Driverless Cars:R
45、oot of Road Accidents D I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting.But where are we doing all of this waiting,and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours?To understand the issue,let?s take a look at three types of“waits”.The very purest form of waiting is the Watche
46、d-Pot Wait.It 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 it?s full.During these waits,the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until
47、the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks.This 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 discipline.Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait.Directions are very specif
48、ic.“Bring three cups of water to boil,add mix,simmer three minutes,remove from heat,let stand five minutes.”I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly.After all,Forced Waiting requires patience.Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait.This typ
49、e 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 one?s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope,and is strictly for the optimists among us.On the su
50、rface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes,but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it.As long as one doesn?t 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 n
