A

(2017·天津卷)Fifteen years ago, 1 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 other's 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.

语篇解读：本文讲述了15年前作者去意大利旅行的一个小故事。作者看到美景想拍些照片，但是有位陌生的女士挡在镜头前享受着美景，作者不忍心打扰她，所以不得不把她也拍进了照片中。文章叙述了作者当时有些失望，但后来却欣然接受了。

1．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.

[解析] 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，在作者准备拍照时，一位女士挡住了作者的视线，planted herself right in front of my view和B选项中blocked her view表达的是同一个意思，故选B。

[答案] B

2．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

[解析] 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view.”可知，这位女士像“我”一样，在这里驻足，感叹并欣赏着眼前的美景；根据第三段中的倒数第二句“She seemed so content in her observation.”可知，她对所看到的美景似乎很满意。故选A。
