二、阅读理解
Give yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions.
Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的）to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.
The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they’d felt cold water at first.
Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.
The pressures of "time" and "destination" are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.
Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.
11．According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more ____________.
A．anxious to do wonders
B．sensitive to others’ feelings
C．likely to develop unpleasant habits
D．eager to explore the world around them
12．What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?
A．To avoid jumping to conclusions.
B．To stop complaining all the time.
C．To follow the teacher’s advice.
D．To admit mistakes honestly.
13．The bird watchers’ behavior shows that they __________.
A．are very patient in their observation
B．are really fascinated by nature
C．care only about the names of birds
D．question the accuracy of the field guides
14．Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?
A．The natural beauty isn’t attractive to them.
B．They focus on arriving at the camp in time.
C．The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.
D．They are keen to see rare birds at the destination.
15．In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should __________.
A．fill our senses to feel the wonders of the world
B．get rid of some bad habits in our daily life
C．open our mind to new things and ideas
D．try our best to protect nature
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, introduces 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 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.
16．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.
17．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
18．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.
19．Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future in __________.
A．Singapore
B．the UK
C．the US
D．Germany
20．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: Root of Road Accidents

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 required 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.
21．While doing a Watched-Pot Wait, we tend to ___________.
A．keep ourselves busy
B．get absent-minded
C．grow anxious
D．stay focused
22．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.
23．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.
24．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.
25．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”

三、七选五
Why Do We Get Angry?
Anger seems simple when we are feeling it, but the causes of anger are various. Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior, and correct bad habits. The main reasons we get angry are triggering（触发）events, personality traits（特征）, and our assessment of situations. 26．
Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would take hundreds of pages. However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, a deadline approaching, experiencing physical pain, and much more. 27． The reason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one’s personal history and psychological traits.
Each person, no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances. People who have personality traits that connect with competitiveness and low upset tolerance are much more likely to get angry. 28． Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have to do with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event has occurred.
29．Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, or anger itself. Sometimes ignorance and negative (消极的) outlooks on situations can create anger.
30．However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know the reasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence. With these main reasons in mind, we can evaluate our level of anger throughout the day and prevent cases of outbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.
A.Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.
B.But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.
C.Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised to reduce it.
D．Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasons to feel angry.
E.Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind.
F.Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluate ourselves with a critical eye.
G.Not everyone acts the same in response to events, and that is why what triggers one person may or may not trigger another.

参考答案
1．C
【详解】
考查介词+关系代词引导的定语从句。句意：对中国的中等城市而言，还有很多往外扩展的空间，盐城就是这样一个例子。分析句子成分和句子结构可知，________ Yancheng is an example修饰前面的名词cities，所以这是一个非限制定语从句；根据句意可知，句中表达的意思为“盐城是中等城市的一个例子”，表示“……的”需要用到介词of。故选C项。
【点睛】
介词+关系代词引导的定语从句中，介词的选择方法之一是根据句意进行确定，如本题中需要表示“……的”，所以用到的介词是of。考生在遇到这个知识点的时候，要学会从句意出发确定介词。
2．B
【详解】
考查非谓语动词和虚拟语气。句意：在艾滋病日那天，卫生部部长要求被提到的那几个问题应该特别注意。分析句子结构可知，refer to 与the problems之间是逻辑动宾关系，应使用过去分词词组作后置定语，表被动；谓语动词demand后面的宾语从句的谓语动词要用“should+动词原形”，should可以省略。故选B。
3．C
【详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：当我醒过来的时候，发现自己躺在床上，被医生和护士包围着。myself与lie是主动关系，用现在分词lying表主动和进行。myself与surround是被动关系，用过去分词的形式作宾补。故选C。
4．C
【详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：如果这本词典不属于你，就把它放在该放的地方。由选项可知，本句时态用一般现在时，实义动词（词组）的否定形式的助动词用doesn’t，belong to sb.（属于某人）没有被动形式，主动表被动，第二空where 引导的地点状语从句缺乏谓语，belong是不及物动词，构成句型“主语+不及物动词”结构，从句主语 it是单数，谓语加s。故选C项。
5．D
【详解】
考查动词短语和非谓语动词。句意：关于家庭教育的观念有很多分歧，但是大多数人会倾向于同意下面这个事情。那就是只有那些参与到孩子成长过程中的父母，才被认为是合格的。第一个空考查固定短语，approve of表示赞同，同意。短语be involved in “参与，被卷入，被牵连”，分析可知，第二空需要过去分词短语involved in 作parents 的后置定语。故选D。
6．A
【详解】
考查动词短语辨析和过去分词。句意：没有互联网，他们发现自己与外界隔绝了。“cut off”表示“隔绝、隔断”；“cut up”表示“切碎”。根据句意可知，这里是表示“与外界隔绝了”，所以用cut off。这里是非谓语动词作宾补，宾语themselves和cut off之间为被动关系，用过去分词作宾补。故选A项。
7．B
【详解】
考查名词词义辨析。句意：普及教育是所有人都有平等的受教育机会的能力，不论其社会阶层、种族、背景或身体残疾。A. application申请；B. access通道、入径、(使用或见到的)机会/权利；C. admission准许加入；D. attempt尝试。由句意可知，此处指“受教育的机会”，access to...（使用……的机会/权利）。故选B项。
8．B
【详解】
考查过去分词。句意：这项国际协议于2月27日签署，旨在鼓励儿童戒烟，帮助人们戒烟。动词intend意为“设计，打算”，和逻辑主语The international agreement构成被动关系，且根据“was signed on February 27”可知，动作已经完成。所以应用过去分词作后置定语。故选B。
9．D
【详解】
考查动词辨析。句意：我们原以为考试会很难，结果却很容易。A.considered认为；B.made制作；C.kept保持；D.proved证明是。根据转折词but可知，此处是指结果证明考试很容易。故选D。

20．A
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了德国交通部长对于自主驾驶车辆的规章制度的一个提议，引出了位于科技前沿的无人驾驶的自动化车辆在英国、新加坡和美国的不同前景。
16．猜测词义题。根据第二段内容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.注意冒号的作用，就是对死亡谷的解释说明：death valley指的是制约着无人驾驶汽车未来的半自动化和完全无人驾驶汽车之间的灰色地带即司机的角色不明朗的状况。A，B和C项内容文中根本就没有提到，故选D。
17．推理判断题。根据第二段的句子The proposal attempts to deal with what some call the “death valley” of autonomous vehicles:和第四段内容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.可以判断出这个提议被提出是为了推动完全自动化的驾驶。故选B。
18．细节理解题。根据第七段内容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.” 可知消费者认为对于无人驾驶车辆的运行不应该牵涉到人的责任。故选D。
19．细节理解题。根据最后一段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.可知接管无人驾驶汽车并将其视为公共产品的想法在美国绝对行不通，即公共交通工具中无人驾驶车在美国看不到未来。故选C。
20．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了德国交通部长的提议是为了促进无人驾驶车运行，界定了汽车制造方负责，由此在第五段引出全文的主题句:Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not clear among car makers, consumers and lawyers. 下面就此展开陈述。所以“自动化驾驶：谁的责任”可以概括全文，充当本文题目，故选A。
【点睛】
这篇文章内容和每个人生活密切相关，讲的是谁对这种新型交通工具：无人驾驶的全自动化的车辆负责各国意见不一，学生应该有兴趣阅读，涉及到科技前沿，文章篇幅适中。考查比较全面，除了理解细节题，还需要适当的推理，还有词义辨析类的题目，对学生能力考查比较全面。
做词义辨析类的题目，要仔细阅读这个词所在的前后的句子，发现有没有关联的同义词，反义词或是这个词的定义，分析这篇阅读的1题，要求对含有这个短语的整个句子的正确理解以及标点符号的作用。

21．B

【分析】
本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了等待分为三种，我们不应该在等待时失去信心

【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章分析了导致人们生气的三个原因并指出如何防止愤怒爆发。
26．考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。上一句提到导致人们生气的三个主要原因： triggering（触发）events，personality traits（特征），our assessment of situations，下面的几段具体分析了这三个原因与生气的关系。故该句应该起承上启下的作用，故F选项（如果我们愿意用批判性的目光来评估自己的话，那么了解这些原因将会控制我们的愤怒。）承上启下，故选F。
27．考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。该空前面两句提到引发愤怒的事件很多，例如：堵车，截止日期临近，身体疼痛等。下一句提到：某件事会激发一个人的怒气，但其他人却不会为此而生气的原因是由于个人的历史和心理特征。该空承上启下，应当提到某件事会使某些人生气，但不会使别人生气这个现象，故G选项（人们对这些事情的反应不一样，这就导致使一个人生气的事情可能会让另一个人生气，也可能不会让另一个人生气。）承上启下，故选G。
28．考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。上一句提到：每个人都有自己的心里不平衡的地方。那些比较好强，气量比较小的人更容易生气。下一句提到：而且，有时候，pre-anger并不一定是一种持久的状态，而是一种触发事件发生前的暂时状态。该空承上启下，既要提到上一句中的那些性格特征，又要提到下一句中的pre-anger，故Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in the background of your mind. （拥有这些个性特征意味着愤怒之前的状态，愤怒就在你的大脑背景中。）承上启下，故选E。
29．考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。下一句提到：有时候，甚至常规性的事件也会变成pre-anger或恼怒的来源。有时候对这些情况的无知和负面观点会产生愤怒。该空位于段首，引出下文，故A选项（我们的对情况的态度和看法也会在我们内心产生愤怒。）是本段的主题句，概括全段内容，故选A。
30．考查上下文理解和逻辑推理能力。下一句提到：但是生气很容易转变为暴力，所以最好了解一下愤怒的原因来阻止它的存在。该句和上一句之间是转折关系，结合剩余选项可知，D选项（愤怒是一种特别强烈的感情，或许人们认为他们有理由生气。）和下文构成转折关系，故选D。
点睛：七选五解题策略之一：词语复现
词语复现包括原词复现和同反义词复现，及正确选项和空格前后句子有相同的词或同反义词相互呼应。抓住这些复现线索，题目自然迎刃而解。在第一小题中，空前的the main reasons和G选项中的these reasons属于原词复现。第二小题空前文提到的trigger，G选项中的trigger，和空后一句中的trigger也属于原词复现。

【分析】
本文是一篇说明文。讲述了轻松积累词汇的几种方法。
51．考查冠词。句意：和生活中许多事情一样，积累词汇也是一个不断发展的过程。由语境可知填“一个”，欧宁以元音音素开头， “一个”用不定冠词an表示泛指。故填an。
52．考查定语从句关系词。句意：通过分析句子结构可知，_______means you'll just keep getting better and better.是定语从句，空白处所填的词指代逗号前的there’s enough room for improvement，which在句中为关系代词，引导非限定性定语从句，并在句中作主语。故填which。
53．考查名词单复数。句意：你认为青少年时期几个月的记忆锻炼不够。month为可数名词，且由a few可知month应用复数形式。故填months。
54．考查介词。句意：几个月的记忆锻炼对于余生是不够的。be enough for sth 对······已足够。故填介词for。
55．考查形容词最高级。句意：读好书是扩大词汇量最有效的方法之一。此处要表达的是“最有效的方法之一”，因此填most effective。

57．考查谓语动词。句意：这件事并不像听起来那么难。描述的是一般事实，而且主语为it，因此用sound的一般现在时第三人称单数形式。故填sounds.
58．考查非谓语动词。句意：你在阅读一篇有趣的文学故事时增长词汇量。逻辑主语you与动词read为主动关系，故用现在分词reading ... 作状语；也可视为状语从句while you are reading... 的省略形式。故填reading。
59．考查代词。句意：另一个好处是你不知不觉中学习到了新词和它们的用法。use在此处是名词，故用形容词性物主代词their作定语。故填their。
60．考查非谓语动词。句意：你自然会在对话中使用这些词汇。learned / learnt作后置定语修饰words，表示“已学过的词”， words与learn是被动的关系，因此用过去分词。故填learned/learnt。
