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 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 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 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.4. what happened when the author was about to take a photo?a. her camera stopped working. b. a friend approached from behind.c. someone asked her to leave. d. a woman blocked her view.5. in the authors opinion, what makes the photo so alive?a. the womans existence in the photo.b. the perfect positioning of the camera.c. the rich color of the landscape.d. the soft sunlight that summer day.6. the photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand _.a. the need to be close to nature b. the shared passion for beautyc. the joy of the vacation in italy d. the importance of private space7. the passage can be seen as the authors reflections upon _.a. the art of photography b. the pleasure of travelingc. a particular life experience d. a lost friendship【答案】4.

parents identify their top choices，discussions typically focus on the college itself. is the institution small or large? how strong are the academics？what is the social life like? do i like the campus? such considerations are important, but they can cover the all-important question：where will these college years lead?applicants should think seriously about which college on their list can best prepare them for the real world. they should look for campuses that offer well-structured programs to help them form a direction for their lives and develop the capacity to take steps along that path.one of the most striking recent phenomena about college graduates in america has been the “boomerang” student: the young person who goes away to college, has a great experience, graduates, and then moves back home for a year or two to figure out what to do with his or her life. this pattern has left many graduates and their families wondering whether it makes sense to spend four or more years at college, often at great expense, and finish with no clear sense of who they are or what they want to do next.the trend points to one of the great shortcomings of many of our nations leading colleges and universities. structured opportunities to think about life after graduation are rare. the formal curriculum focuses almost universally on the academic disciplines of the arts and sciences. advising on how various majors connect to pathways into the workplace is typically haphazard (没有条理的). career planning offices are often shorthanded and marginal (不重要的) to college life.it doesnt need to be this way, and in recent years some of the countrys top colleges have enriched their academic offerings with opportunities for students to gain real-world experiences.8. according to the author, what do typical discussions on college choices ignore?a. the function of college education in employment.b. the difficulty in finding jobs after graduation.c. high school students interests.d. the academics of college.9. which accounts for the “trend” mentioned in the text?a. students failing to behave themselves.b. parents overprotecting their children.c. students choosing majors blindly.d. schools lacking proper guidance.10. what will be probably discussed in the following paragraph?a. recipes for academic achievements.b. good academic programs in college.c. academic tips for college students.d. disadvantages of present college course.11. what is the best title for the text?a. a good way to choose a college.b. a new trend in top colleges.c. connect subjects with life beyond college.d. make college one of lifes richest experiences.【答案】8. a 9. d 10. b 11. a【解析】文章主要讲述了在选择大学时需要考虑很多方面如：哪一所大学能让他们更好地为现实世界做准备，应该寻找能提供良好结构的项目的校园，帮助他们形成生活的方向，培养他们沿着这条路走的能力。8. 细节理解题。根据“applicants should think seriously about which college on their list can best prepare them for the real world.” 申请者应该认真考虑他们名单上的哪一所大学能让他们更好地为现实世界做准备。根据作者的观点，关于大学的选择讨论忽视了大学教育在就业中的作用。故选a。9. 词义猜测题。根据“this pattern has left many graduatesand their familieswondering whether it makes sense to spend four or more years at college, often at great expense, and finish with no clear sense of who they are or what they want to do next.”这种模式让许多毕业生与他们的家庭怀疑，在大学花上四年或更多的时间在大学里是否有道理，通常花费很大，而且没有明确知道自己是谁，下一步做什么。故可推知学校缺乏指导。故选d。10. 推理判断题。文章最后一段讲述了近年来，一些国家的顶尖大学丰富了他们的学术成果，有机会让学生获得真实的体验。可推知下一段应介绍大学的学术课程。故选b。11. 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了在选择大学时需要考虑很多方面如：哪一所大学能让他们更好地为现实世界做准备，应该寻找能提供良好结构的项目的校园，帮助他们形成生活的方向，培养他们沿着这条路走的能力。故选a。【名师点睛】推理判断型推理判断题属于高层次阅读理解题。这种题型包括判断题和推理题。这两类题常常相互依存，推理是为了得出正确的判断，正确的判断又依赖于合乎逻辑的推理。做好该题型要从整体上把握语篇内容，在语篇的表面意义与隐含意义、已知信息与未知信息间架起桥梁，透过字里行间，去体会作者的“弦外之音”。推理判断题常常可以分为如下几类：(1)细节推断。如时间、地点、人物关系等；(2)逻辑推断。根据已知的结果推断导致结果产生的可能原因；(3)目的、意图、态度推断。根据文章的论述，推断作者的写作目的以及作者的情感态度；(4)预测想象推断。文章没有明确说明，要求根据语篇对文章可能涉及的内容进行预测判断。例如：本题中的第3小题。【解题剖析】此题属于推理判断型中的(4)预测想象推断。文章没有明确说明，要求根据语篇对文章可能涉及的内容进行预测判断。【答案定位】文章最后一段讲述了近年来，一些国家的顶尖大学丰富了他们的学术成果，有机会让学生获得真实的体验。可推知下一段应介绍大学的学术课程。di 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, lets take a look at three types of “waits”.the very purest form of waiting is the watched-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 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 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 specific. “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 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 lucky-break wait well serves those who are willing to do it. as 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 out of the sky, dont be desperate. youre probably just as busy as the next guy.12. what is the difference between the forced wait and the watched-pot wait?a. the watched-pot wait needs directions.b. the forced wait makes people passive.c. the forced wait requires some self-control.d. the watched-pot wait engages body and brain.13. what can we learn about the lucky-break wait?a. it doesnt always bring the desired result.b. it is less voluntary than the forced wait.c. it is more fruitful than the forced wait.d. it doesnt give people faith and hope.14. what does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting?a. take it seriously. b. dont lose heart.c. do something else. d. dont rely on others.15. the author supports his view by _.a. exploring various causes of “waits”b. describing detailed processes of “waits”c. revealing frustrating consequences of “waits”d. analyzing different categories of “waits”【答案】12. c 13. a 14. b 15. d【解析】本文作者通过分析不同类别的“等待”，建议我们在等待的时候要保持乐观的心态，不要灰心。12. 细节理解题。根据“after all, forced waiting requires patience.”可知forced wait需要有耐心，即需要有自控能力。故选c。13. 细节理解题。根据“unlike the forced wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.”可知你要等待的东西并不一定意味着它会发生。故选a。14. 细节理解题。根据“turning ones life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optimists among us. ”可知作者建议我们在等待时要乐观不要灰心。故选b。15. 推理判断题。纵览全文可知作者通过分析不同类别的“等待”，建议我们在等待时要乐观不要灰心。故选d。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。mary had feared the day she would draw a blank during a presentation. then one day during
