第二部分:阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2.5分,满分50分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
(2017天津,A)
Suppose you’re in a rush,feeling tired,not paying attention to your screen,and you send an email that could get you in trouble.
Realisation will probably set in seconds after you’ve clicked “send”.You freeze in horror and burn with shame.
What to do?Here are four common email accidents,and how to recover.
Clicking “send” too soon
Don’t waste your time trying to find out if the receiver has read it yet.Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief title explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored.
Writing the wrong name
The sooner you notice,the better.Respond quickly and briefly,apologising for your mistake.Keep the tone measured:don’t handle it too lightly,as people can be offended,especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture(i.e.incorrect ordering of Chinese names).
Clicking “reply all” unintentionally
You accidentally reveal(透露)to the entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner,or what holiday you’d like to take.In this instance,the best solution is to send a quick,light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness.But it can quickly rise to something worse,when everyone starts hitting “reply all” to join in a long and unpleasant conversation.In this instance,step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down.
Sending an offensive message to its subject
The most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger.You write an unkind message about someone,intending to send it to a friend,but accidentally send it to the person you’re discussing.In that case,ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry.Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly — see it as an opportunity to clear up any difficulties you may have with this person.
36.After realising an email accident,you are likely to feel 　　　. 
A.curious B.tired
C.awful D.funny
37.If you have written the wrong name in an email,it is best to 　　　. 
A.apologise in a serious manner
B.tell the receiver to ignore the error
C.learn to write the name correctly
D.send a short notice to everyone
38.What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your “reply all” email?
A.Try offering other choices.
B.Avoid further involvement.
C.Meet other staff members.
D.Make a light-hearted apology.
39.How should you deal with the problem caused by an offensive email?
A.By promising not to offend the receiver again.
B.By seeking support from the receiver’s friends.
C.By asking the receiver to control his anger.
D.By talking to the receiver face to face.
40.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Defining email errors.
B.Reducing email mistakes.
C.Handling email accidents.
D.Improving email writing.

B
(2017天津,B)
Fifteen 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 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 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 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 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 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.
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 herself
B.losing her patience
C.waiting for the sunset
D.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 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
45.The passage can be seen as the author’s reflections upon 　　　. 
A.a particular life experience
B.the pleasure of traveling
C.the art of photography
D.a lost friendship

C
(2017天津,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 deal 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 humans 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 legal 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 cars,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 confusion,Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vehicles can be fully automated without human 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-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 place 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 rules
B.help promote fully automatic driving
C.protect drivers of all ages and races
D.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 responsibility.
49.Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future in 　　　. 
A.Singapore B.the UK
C.the US D.Germany
50.What could be the best title for the passage?
A.Autonomous Driving:Whose Liability?
B.Fully Automatic Cars:A New Breakthrough
C.Autonomous Vehicles:Driver Removed!
D.Driverless Cars:Root of Road Accidents

D
(2017天津,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 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 it’s 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 one’s 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 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 next time you’re standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you’ll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky,don’t be desperate.You’re probably just as busy as the next guy.
51.While doing a Watched-Pot Wait,we tend to 　　　. 
A.keep ourselves busy
B.get absent-minded
C.grow anxious
D.stay focused
52.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 Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain.
53.What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait?
A.It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait.
B.It doesn’t always bring the desired result.
C.It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.
D.It doesn’t give people faith and hope.
54.What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting?
A.Take it seriously.
B.Don’t rely on others.
C.Do something else.
D.Don’t lose heart.
55.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 frustrating consequences of “waits”

(2017天津)
In the years of my growing up,Dad was strict with me.He made sure I made my bed and did my homework.He would call in advance to make sure there was no alcohol at the party.I got so angry with him for laying down the law.I would scream,“ I hate you!” Dad would yell back,“Good!I don’t care!” Deep down I knew he did.
One time at a party,I drank too much alcohol and got so sick.I said,“ Call my dad.” Next thing,Dad was carrying me to the car.I woke up the next morning,thinking I would definitely be criticised.As expected,I got a roasting,but I now understand why I needed discipline. 
Dad was 29 when he got his big roles in films.I had an early start at the age of nine with a role in a 1990s TV series,but it wasn’t until I finished film studies that I pursued my career as an actress.Like those early days for Dad,I faced lots of rejections.Working in such a competitive industry,I’ve sometimes thought,“ I can’t do this any more.”
Once,after a trip to Hollywood,I returned to Australia so depressed and spent months in my bedroom painting,listening to Eckhart Tolle’s music and trying to find myself again.Dad sat me down and said,“Alice,I know it’s hard,but it’s all about persistence(坚持不懈).”
Now I get to work with Dad a lot,which I love.We are both passionate about acting,which comes from us being so interested in people.If it weren’t for Dad,I wouldn’t be where I am today.He’s my biggest fan,and when you have that in your life you can go a long way.
56.What rules did Alice’s father set for her when she was growing up?(no more than 15 words)
57.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?(no more than 5 words)
58.What did Alice’s father do when she felt depressed?(no more than 5 words)
59.According to the last paragraph,what do Alice and her father have in common?(no more than 10 words)

2017天津卷解析
第一部分
第一节　单项填空
1.A　考查交际用语。句意:——下周六是艾伯特的生日,我想给他筹划一个惊喜派对。——听起来很有趣。我会带些酒。Sounds like fun“听起来很有趣”;It depends“视情况而定”;Just a minute“稍等一下”;You are welcome“不客气”。根据句意可知A项符合语境。
2.C　考查情态动词。句意:我的房间乱得一团糟,但是今晚出门前我不必打扫。我可以早上打扫。根据后一句“我可以早上打扫”可知,此处应用needn’t表示“不必做某事”。故选C项。
3.D　考查形容词。句意:——我想见怀特先生,我们有约定。——抱歉,他现在没有空,因为会议还没有结束。busy“繁忙的”;active“积极的”;concerned“担心的”;available“有空的;可得到的”。故选D项。
4.C　考查名词性从句。句意:她问我是否已经把书还到图书馆了,我承认我还没有还。分析句子结构可知,此处用whether来引导宾语从句,意为“是否”,故选C项。
5.A　考查动词短语。句意:布朗夫妇想要看着他们的女儿安定下来,结婚生子。settle down“(在某地)定居下来,过安定的生活”;keep off“远离;避开”;get up“起床”;cut in“插嘴”。故选A项。
6.B　考查语态和主谓一致。句意:如今,骑自行车与慢跑和游泳一样,被认为是最全面的锻炼形式之一。本句的主语是cycling,因此谓语动词用单数形式;cycling与regard之间是被动关系,因此用被动语态。当“A along with B”结构出现在句首时,谓语动词的形式应与A保持一致。类似的词(组)还有with,together with,rather than,as well as等。故选B项。
7.D　考查交际用语。句意:——今天早上,在史密斯先生的化学课上,迈克尔迟到了。——怎么可能?据我所知,他可是上课从不迟到的。So what“那又怎样”;Why not“为什么不呢”;Who cares“谁在乎”;How come“怎么可能”。D项符合语境,用来表示听话者的惊讶。A、C两项表示不在乎;B表示赞同或疑问,故选D项。
8.A　考查时态。句意:当驱车前往伦敦的时候,我突然意识到自己走错了路。本题考查了句式be doing...when...,意为“正在……,这时……”。故选A项。
9.B　考查定语从句。句意:我的大儿子此刻正在纽约,他的工作使他全世界奔波。分析句子结构可知,定语从句的引导词在从句中作定语修饰work,故选B项。
10.C　考查固定句型。句意:会议期间我都在看表,因为我要赶火车。have sth.to do意为“有某事要做”,故选C项。
11.D　考查强调句型。句意:就在我回到公寓的时候,我第一次遇见了我的新邻居。强调句型的构成为:It is/was+被强调部分+that/who+句子其他部分。本句中被强调的部分是时间状语从句when I got back to my apartment,故用引导词that。选D项。
12.A　考查介词。句意:当你驱车驶入加利福尼亚州红杉林的时候,你会置身于一片超过一千年历史的树木之中。among“在……中”符合句意。against“靠着”;behind“在……之后”;below“低于”。故选A项。
13.C　考查介词短语。句意:我们为学生提供卓越的教育。相应地,我们期望学生努力学习。on average“平均”;at best“最多”;in return“作为报答;反过来;相应地”;after all“毕竟”。故选C项。
14.B　考查非谓语动词。句意:医院最近购买了新的医疗设备,这使得更多的患者能得到医治。前面的句子和allow之间构成主动关系,故用动词-ing作结果状语。
15.B　考查虚拟语气。句意:——你有贝蒂的电话号码吗?——是的。如果没有的话,昨天我就找不到她了。这是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气形式,otherwise相当于一个条件状语从句,空格所在的句子相当于主句,故用“情态动词+have done”的形式,选B项。
第二节　完形填空
【语篇导读】本文为一篇记叙文。作者曾经为自己的肥胖和体重所困扰,后来受到别人的影响,把减肥与公益事业相结合,终于达成了自己的目标。
16.C　根据后文的“to make myself feel better”可知,“我”经常用食物来消除坏情绪。add“增加”;mix“混合”;kill“中和;抵消”;share“分享”。故选C项。
17.A　根据语境可知,为了减肥,“我”尝试了各种节食方法,但都毫无作用。故选A项。
18.D　由前文可知,“我”尝试了多种减肥方法,但都没有用,因此“我”对自己的体重感到无奈。height “身高”;ability“能力”;wisdom“智慧”;weight“体重”。故选D项。
19.C　由上文可知,“我”体重370磅,减肥也没有效果,无可奈何。当“我”五十岁的时候,体重问题开始严重地影响“我”的生活。而且与后文“我”想做一些改变相呼应。temporarily“暂时地”;recently“最近”;seriously“严重地”;secretly“秘密地”。故选C项。
20.B　此处表示“我”再也不想这么胖了。用extra weight表示“额外的重量”,故选B项。
21.A　由下文的“A seminar leader”可知,“我”只是参加了这个研讨会,并不是组织者。attend“参加”;organize“组织”;recommend“推荐”;mention“提及”。故选A项。
22.B　由后文可知,这位女士不仅减掉了125磅,而且还为无家可归的孩子们筹集了资金。因此,她分享的是自己成功的故事。故选B项。

26.D　strike sb.as sth.为固定搭配,意为“让某人觉得……,给人……的印象”。“我”把治愈自己与治愈世界相结合,“我”觉得这是最完美的解决方式。故选D项。
27.A　分析句子结构可知,此处为时间状语从句。指的是当“我”开始“我”的个人减肥计划的时候,“我”感到很害怕。故选A项。
