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
10、 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
11、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. A
12、nother 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 coms to life and breathes because this woman is eng
13、aging 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 4knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some strangers bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in wh
14、ich 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 tha
15、t 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. 21. 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
16、leave. D. A friend approached from behind. 22. 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 23. In the authors opinion, what makes the photo so alive? _ A. The rich color of the landscape. B. The per

19、uture. The trend could cause social problems, according to a report on July 8by the Washington Post. Women received about 57 percent of the bachelors degrees awarded this year from colleges and universities in the United States. The figure of 57percent has been the highest since World Warended in 19
20、45. During the war, many men were in the military. The gap between men and women is greater among African Americans and Hispanics. Two AfricanAmerican women receive a degree for every AfricanAmerican man. Only 40percent of Hispanics who get a degree are males. The USA Department of Education estimat
21、es 698,000 females received bachelors degree this year. The number of male graduates was 529,000. The trend toward more female graduates began in the mid1980s. Nobody seems to know why. However, many theories exist. Researchers say the trend could lead to social problems. They also say this may indi
22、cate two things. It may reflect the increasing success of women. But it also may show the educational problems affecting men. High school graduation rates are slightly lower for men than for women. Males also make up the vast majority of students in special education classes.The Business Roundtable
23、is studying the trend. The group is an organization of chief executives of some of the nations largest corporations. Susan Traiman is the director of the groups education policy.

28、of social problems in America.CI 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 i
29、s 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 wan
30、ders 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 7bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup required a Forced Wait. Dir
31、ections 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
32、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
33、 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 sp
34、end 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.31. While doing a Watched-Pot Wait，we t
35、end to _A. keep ourselves busy B. get absent-mindedC. grow anxious D. stay focused32. What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait? _ A. The Forced Wait requires some self-control.B. The Forced Wait makes people passive.C. The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions.D. The Watch
36、ed-Pot Wait engages body and brain.33. What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait? _ A. It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.B. It doesnt always bring the desired result.8C. It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.D. It doesnt give people faith and hope.34. What does the author advise us to
37、do the next time we are waiting? _ A. Take it seriously. B. Dont rely on others.C. Do something else. D. Dont lose heart.35. The author supports his view by _ .A. exploring various causes of“waits“B. describing detailed processes of“waits“C. analyzing different categories of“waits“D. revealing frust
38、rating consequences of“waits“第二节 七选五(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分)Worry problems are everywhere in our daily life. How to solve them? The answer is that we must equip ourselves to handle different kinds of worries by learning the three basic steps of problem analysis. The three steps are:Get the factsWhy
39、is it so important to get the facts? Unless you have the facts, you cant possibly attempt to solve your problem intelligently. Without the facts, all you can do is wondering around in confusion. 36 When you are worried, your emotions are riding high. But here are two ideas that can help you see the
40、facts in a clear and objective way.When trying to get the facts, you can pretend that you are collecting this information not for yourself but for some other person. This will help you to take a cold and fair view of the evidence. You can also pretend that you are a lawyer preparing to agree. 37 You
41、 will generally find the truth lies somewhere in between.Analyze the facts38 And write out all the various steps you could take and then the probable consequences(后果) of each step. For example, what am I worrying about? What can I do about it? Here is what Im going to do about it. After carefully we
42、ighing all the facts, you can calmly come to a decision.939 Unless you take your action, all you face-finding and analyzing-is a waste of energy. How can you break the worry habit before it breaks you? Crowd worry out of your mind by keeping busy. 40 Accept what cant be avoided. If you know a situat
43、ion is beyond your power, say to yourself: “ It is so; it cant be otherwise.” Dont permit little things to ruin your happiness. Try to develop a mental attitude that will bring you peace and happiness.A. Act on that decisionB. It is not an easy job to get facts.C. Decide how much anxiety a thing may
44、 be worthD. Plenty of action is one of the best ways to cure worry.E. There comes a time when you must decide and never look backF. Try to get all the facts both on your side and the other side of the caseG. Whenever you are worried, write down the questions that make you worry.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分 20
