高考英语试题 篇1

对省略现象的考查已成为近年来英语高考试题中的常考点。在新课标 (人教版必修5) 中还特别设计了省略的专项训练。 省略这种语法手段既可避免重复, 又能使上下文更紧密地连接起来, 因此, 在英语交际中, 只要不违反语法结构和引起歧义, 就大可使用省略。

一、复合句中的省略现象

1. 在含有比较结构的复合句中, 常在as或than引导的分句中省略某些与主句相同的成分或省略在特定上下文或特定情景中已知的成分。如:

(NMET 96) How beautifully she sings! I’ve never heard ______.

A.the better voice B.a good voice

C.the best voice D.a better voice

本题应选D。从整个语境来分析, 后句中的比较状语从句than hers被省略掉了。故此题应选比较级。

2. 表示时间、条件的状语从句用了主语+be+分词结构, 且主句与从句主语一致时, 可省略从句的主语和be, 形成连接词+过去分词结构。如:

(2010江西卷) The experiment shows that proper amounts of exercise, if ______ regularly, can improve our health.

A. being carrying out B. carrying out

C. carried out D. to carry out

此处if 引导省略句, 该省略句原句应为“if proper amounts of exercise are carried out regularly...”根据省略原则, 把相同的主语和系动词be省去, 就只剩下carried out regularly, 所以选C。

3.在定语从句中的省略。大部分的定语从句都可以通过省略成为分词作定语, 主动语态用现在分词, 被动语态用过去分词。如:

(NMET 97) The Olympic Games, ______ in 776 B.C., did not include women players until 1912.

A.first playing B.to be first played

C.first played D.to be first playing

本题应选C。first played 为which was first played 之省略。

(NMET 89) Do you know the boy______ under the big tree?

A. lay B.lain C.laying D.lying

本题应选D。lying为who is lying之省略。

二、用to 代替动词不定式

在上下文比较清楚时, 有时可省略动词不定式中的动词及其后面的部分。如:

(2002上海卷) —You should have thanked her before you left.

—I meant ______, but when I was leaving I couldn’t find her anywhere.

A. to do B. to C. doing D .doing so

本题选B。

三、在并列句中, 如果前后结构基本相同, 常省略相同的成分

(2000北京春招卷) One of the sides of the board should be painted yellow, and ______ .

A. the other is white B. another white

C. the other white D. another is white

根据句意, and后面应该是 the other side of the board should be painted white, 其中的should be painted承前省略了, 故选C。

四、固定下来的省略结构:what for, if so, if possible

(2004全国卷Ⅰ) —Susan, will you please go and empty that drawer?

—______

A. What for B. What it is

C. How it is D. How come

本题选A。

(2009江西卷) Some of you may have finished Unit One, ______, you can go on to Unit Two.

A. if you may B. if you do C. if not D .if so

本题选D。if so是if (it is) so 的省略。

高考英语试题 篇2

The Brown Bear

My wife Laura and I were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear. The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.

Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An agreesive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back---- the sign (迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.

I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.

Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.

The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.

Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack----- The first time I felf panic.

Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the outcome for us could hardly have been better. I’m proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.

60. The brown bear approached the family in order to _______.

A. catch shore birds B. start an attack

C. protect the children D. set up a barrier for itself

61. The bear finally went away after it _______.

A. felt safe B. got injured

C. found some food D. took away the camera

62. The writer and his family survived mainly due to their ______ .

A. pride B. patience

C. calmness D. cautiousness

C

Choosing the Right Resolution (决定)

Millions of Americans began 2014 with the same resolution they started 2013 with, a goal of losing weight. However, setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake.

To reach our goal of losing weight --- the output, we need to control what we eat --- the input ( 输入). That is, we tend to care about the output but not to control the input. This is a bad way to construce goals. The alternative is to focus your resolution on the input. Instead of resolving to lose weight, try an actionable resolution: “I’ll stop having desert for lunch,” or “I’ll walk every day for 20 minutes.” Creating a goal that focuses on a well-specified input will likely be more effective than concentrating on the outcome.

Recently a new science behind incentives (激励) , including in education, has been discussed. For example, researcher Roland Fryer wanted to see what works best in motivating children to do better in school. In some cases, he gave students incentives based on input, like reading certain books, while in others, the incentives were based on output, like results on exams. His main finding was that incentives increased achievement when based on input but had no effect on output. Fryer’s conclusion was that the intensives for inputs might be more effective because do not knoe how to do better on exam, aside from general rules like “study harder.” Reading certain books, on the other hand, is a well-set task over which they have much more control.

As long as you have direct control over your goal, you have a much higher chance of success. And it’s easier to start again if you fail, because you know exactly what you need to do.

If you want to cut down on your spending, a good goal would be making morning coffee at home instead of going to a cafe, for example. This is a well-specified action-based goal for which you can measure your success easily. Spending less money isn’t a goal because it’s too general. Similarly, if you want to spend more time with your family, don’t stop with this general wish. Think bout an actionable habit that you could adopt and stick to, like a family movie night every Wednesday.

In the long run, these new goals could become a habit.

63. The writer thinks that setting weight loss as a goal is a mistake because _______ .

A. it is hard to achieve for most Americans

B. it is focused too much on the result

C. it is dependent on too many things

D. it is based on actionable decisions

64. In Roland Fryer’s research, some students did better than the others because ______ .

A. they obeyed all the general rules

B. they paid more attention to exams

C. they were motivated by their classmates

D. they were rewarded for reading some books

65. According to the writer, which of the following statements is a good goal?

A. “I’ll give up desert.” B. “I’ll study harder.”

C. “I’ll cut down my expense” D. “I’ll spend more time with my family”

66. The writer strongly believes that we should ________ .

A. develop good habits and focus on the outcome

B. be optimistic about final goals and stick to them

C. pick specific actions that can be turned into good habits

D. set ambitious goals that can balance the input ang output

D

Multitasking

What is the first thing you nitice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed (展示) at the entrance? Or the soft background music?

But have you ever notice the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sightsand sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.

A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers’ intension to purchase increased by 80 percent.

When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs, scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on slaes. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.

Some years ago,the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants’ disproving attitude and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t-afford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destination. And scent is just one way to achieve this.

Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut (椰子) scent in the swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books, pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.

67. According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?

A. Friendly assistant. B. Unique scents.

C. Soft background music D. attractive window display.

68. E-shops are mentioned in the passage to _______ .

A. ashow the advantages of brick-and-mortar stores

B. urge shop assistants to change their attitude

C. push stores to use sights and sounds

D. introduce the rise of e-commerce

69. The underlined word “destination” in Paragraph 5 means _______ .

A. a platform that exhibts goods

B. a spot where travelers like to stay

C.a place where customers love to go

D. a target that a store expects to meet

70. The main purpose of the passage is to ______ .

A. compare and evaluate B. examine and assess

C. argue and discuss D.inform and explain

Evaluating Sources (来源) of health Information

Making good choices about your own health requairs reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of healthy information. Resonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to fins relevant information, how to separate fact from opinions, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. 71G

Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determin whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. 72 D

Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behaviour “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. 73 F Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.

Use your common sense. Ifa report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. 74 B Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术).

75A Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.

Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about the health problems will serve you well throughout your life.

A. Make choice that are right for you.

B. The goal of an ad is to sell you something.

C. Be sure to work through the critical questions.

D. And examine the findings of the original research.

E. Distinguish between research reports and public health advice.

2007年高考英语试题分析 篇3

全国卷I分析

听力

首先，将2007年全国卷I所考听力题型进行归纳，如下表：

从上表我们可以看出：今年高考听力还是以细节信息题为主。同时，与往年全国卷I相比，数字题比例在下降，但原因题的比例却在上升。而这几类题型除了推断题，都在考查考生准确把握细节的能力。所以，平时练习听力时，大家一定要着重培养对重要信息的敏感度；做题时，必须在听录音前阅读题目。

单项选择

近三年全国卷I单项选择题所考查语法项目的详细分布表：

从上表我们可以看出，单项选择题基本上涵盖了高中阶段所学的所有语法点。不过，动词时态和语态、非谓语动词、情景交际等语法项目基本是每年的考查热点。所以说，在高三复习的时候，必须把语法基础打扎实，在这个基础上，强化一些重点的语法项目。另外，现在的单项选择题更多的是在一定的语境中考查某个语法点，很少单纯考语法。下面我们就给大家介绍几道全国卷I中的经典试题。

25. — The last one ________ pays the meal.

— Agreed!

A. arrivedB. arrives

C. to arrive D. arriving

【解析】解此题，我们需要先分析这个句子的结构，找出它的主、谓、宾。主语很明显是the last one，但谓语呢？我们根据句意判断：最后到的那个人埋单。所以谓语是pays。这就说明空格处应该是一个非谓语结构，排除B。再来看其余三个选项，此时就需要结合语境考虑了。对话中的场景比较可能是这样的：一群人在酒店门口等人吃饭时，开玩笑说：“来得最晚的负责埋单。”这就表明在对话时，应该还有人没到，自然“the last one”的arrive动作尚未发生，用不定式，选C。

27. — How's your tour around the North Lake? Is it beautiful?

— It ______ be, but it is now heavily polluted.

A. willB. wouldC. shouldD. must

【解析】此题考查的是情态动词，解题时更需要理解语境。很显然是两个人谈论旅游的情况，一个人问“North Lake漂亮吗？”被问的人回答说“……，但现在被严重污染了。”一个but表明关系转折，那就说前半句应该是“原本是漂亮的”或“本来应该是漂亮的”。结合选项，只能选C。

30. Does this meal cost $50? I ______ something far better than this!

A. prefer B. expect C. suggest D. suppose

【解析】这道题给出四个选项意思十分相近，都有“喜欢，想要”的意思，所以解题的关键是结合题意区别这四个选项。Prefer的意思是“更喜欢，宁愿”，用于对几种不同情况做出选择，而这里表示的意思是觉得50元钱应该吃到比现在上的菜更好的食物，排除；expect有“盼望、希望”的意思，同时，在口语中，还有“料想、认为”的意思，用于此处，十分适合；suggest表示的是“建议”，此处明显不合适，排除；suppose表示“猜想”，但按常理应该是还没看到东西才猜想，不符题意，排除。故本题选B。

方向解读：上面这三个比较典型的例题，从一定程度上体现了单选题的一些重点考查内容，如：在理解句子的基础上，找出句子的主干；理解对话的语境，将语法点融入语境中进行考查(全国卷I中的25、26、27、29、31等题也需要理解语境后作答)；结合句意，辨析近义词(组)。

完形填空

今年全国卷I的完形填空难度不大。

全国卷I的完形填空一直选用记叙文，今年也不例外。这篇文章讲述了一位女孩与一群野天鹅的感人故事：小女孩无意中在湖边拾到一些天鹅蛋，并把它们带回了家，还全部成功孵化出了小天鹅。小天鹅们把小女孩当成了妈妈，小女孩可以领着小天鹅到处走动，但却无法教它们飞翔。于是就请她的父亲做了一架小飞机，最终教会了它们飞翔。文章故事情节简单，容易理解。

高考英语完形填空的设空方式会直接影响到题目的难易度，一般来说，首句是理解文章的关键，是不会设空的。今年也遵循这个惯例，所以，没有对理解文章设置障碍。

在题目设置上，所有的题目均为细节理解题，完全可以通过一句话或设题点附近的两三句话找到答案。考查内容方面则主要为：语法、词汇知识以及理解文章的能力。下面，我们就这三大考点，分别举例。

1、 固定搭配

Several days40the eggs broke and the baby geese came into the 41 .

40. A. ago B. out C. laterD. long

【解析】这其实是一道语法题。整篇文章的时态是过去时，在过去时中，表示“几天后”，我们只能用several days later，选C。

2、 理解文章，根据意思进行选择

这一类型主要是根据上下文的句子进行选择。

Geese are known to take the first living thing they see as their mother.42, to these young geese, the girl was their mother.

42. A. ButB. AlsoC. Thus D. Still

【解析】根据上下文，前句讲：小天鹅把它们看到的第一样活物当作自己的妈妈。后句讲：那个女孩就被它们当成了自己的妈妈。这两句明显是因果关系，选C。

Caring about 49safety, the father decided to pilot the plane himself.

49. A. hisB. herC. their D. its

【解析】根据后面讲爸爸决定自己驾驶飞机，是由于考虑到某个人的安全。但全文只出现两个人——爸爸和小女孩。爸爸决定去驾驶飞机，自然考虑的不是自己的安全，只能是小女孩，选B。

3、词汇知识，特别是近义词的辨析

虽然今年的完形填空并没怎么涉及近义词的辨析，但却是一个重要考点，主要考查的是辨析近义词和近义词组。大家平常要注意多积累这方面的内容。

阅读理解

A篇：一篇记叙文，讲述的是一个贫困家庭自

行车被盗，得到陌生人帮助的故事。这篇文章基本上没有什么生词，比较容易把握。设题上，56、58、59均为细节题，57为推理题。

56. Why was the bike so important to the couple?

A. The man's job was bike racing.

B. It was their only possession.

C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.

D. They used it for work and daily life.

【解析】由于文章中讲到“The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.” 所以，很明显，D是最佳选项。做此类题(56、58、59)应该回到原文，寻找相关内容，通过细节定位来解答。

57. We can infer from the text that _________.

A. the couple worked 60 hours a week

B. people were busy before Christmas

C. the stranger brought over the bike

D. life was hard for the young family

【解析】这是一道推理题，我们一般采用排除法来做。A项，文章中只有说到husband每周工作60小时，并没有说wife的工作情况，排除；B项，文章中根本没有讲到，排除；C项是文中讲到的内容，自然不属于推理得出的，排除；D项根据文中说的家里只有一辆自行车，可以推断出生活比较困难，选D。推理题的干扰项一般可分为两类：一类是像这道题A、B两项的胡乱推理；另一类就是像C项这样对原文内容的复述。抓住这两大特点正是排除推理题中干扰项的一个好办法。

B篇：一篇科技类的说明文。讲的是各类生物

的饮食选择。从题目设置上看，60是推断题，61、62是细节题，63是主旨题。

63. We can learn from the last paragraph that ______________.

A. food is chosen for a good reason

B. French and British food is good

C. some people have few choices of food

D. some people care little about healthy diet

【解析】这道题要求考生根据最后一段来进行归纳。最后一段主要讲的是人类不好的饮食习惯，所以各选项中，D最佳。解主旨题要将最主要的意思作为答案，切忌以偏概全。

C篇：一篇记叙文，主要讲述的是在多子女家

庭中，母亲与单个孩子独处的好处。设题方面，64是主旨大意题，65、66均为细节题，67是推理题。

64. What is the text mainly about?

A. The experience of the only child being with mother.

B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.

C. The happy life of two families.

D. The basic needs of children.

【解析】A项是典型的以偏概全的错误。文章的确讲到了一个孩子和妈妈独处的经历，但是这并不是文章最核心的内容。文章最核心的内容应该是独处的好处，全文后几段都在着重讲述这个道理。故选B。

D篇：一篇人物传记类的文章，讲述的是一个

名叫Ralph W. Tyler的人的故事。题目设置上，68、70、71均为细节题，69为词汇题。

69. The words "hooked on teaching" underlined in Paragraph 2 probably mean _______.

A. attracted to teaching

B. tired of teaching

C. satisfied with teaching

D. unhappy about teaching

【解析】这是一道词汇题，首先，我们回到原文第二段找到划线词组的出处：Born in Chicago in 1902, brought up and schooled in Nebraska, the 19-year-old college graduate Ralph Tyler became hooked on teaching while teaching as a science teacher in South Dakota and changed his major from medicine to education. 后面讲到，他将自己的专业从药学调整到教育学，那说明，当他第一次当老师的时候，他就喜欢上或者说被教育吸引了。做词汇题主要是从前后文找出相关信息。

E篇：一篇科技类说明文，主要讲述了Daylight

Saving Time(DST)制度。题目设置上，72、73、74均为细节题，75为主旨大意题。

73. According to the text, which state was the last to use DST?

A. Victoria. B. Queensland.

C. South Australia. D. New South Wales.

【解析】解这道题需要综合文中出现的所有信息。根据文中“In 1972, New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria joined Tasmania for regular daylight saving, but Queensland did not do so until 1989”这条信息，答案一目了然，选B。

75. What do we know about the use of DST from the last paragraph?

A. There exist some undesirable effects.

B. It helps little to save energy.

C. It brings about longer working days.

D. Radio and TV programs become different.

【解析】最后一段讲述的是在交通运输和其他社会活动方面，由于DST的不同而造成的一些严重问题。所以，这里A项是最佳答案。其实解一段或者全文的主旨大意题，关键在于抓该段的首句和尾句或全文的首段末段。

短文改错

今年的短文改错，改错的对象还是传统的类似学生习作的文章，考查的还是那些常考的考点：固定搭配、代词、时态、单复数、连词、介词、冠词等。不过今年考查固定搭配、习惯用法的数量有所增加，同时，有部分题目还需要理解全文的意思后才能做出解答。

书面表达

在连续两年考查看图作文后，今年的全国卷I的作文题又回归到了提供要点式作文上来。同时，文章还是以书信的形式出现，并且已经给出了书信的格式。可以说，难度反而比去年有所下降了。不过，今年的书面表达虽然是提供要点式的，但是要点的内容并未给出，需要考生自己发挥，如年龄、性别、爱好等。可以说，今年的书面表达是一篇半开放式的作文。另外，虽然题中已经给出了开头，但隐含着必须写一个合适结尾的要求，这也是一个必不可少的要点。

下面我们结合范文来看一下，如何写作才能在高考中取得高分。

这篇范文(见本期赠卷页)的几个优点：

1、 文章结构层次分明，使用一些过渡连接词besides等；

2、 句型多样化，没有出现句式相同的短句，过多的简单句或者简单句的并列；

3、 使用一些比较复杂的句型，如：

·I want to have a pen friend, hopefully a girl in her early twenties, and with interests similar to mine. (在介绍性别和年龄时，并没有按我们大部分同学的方式写“I want to have a pen friend, a girl about 20 years old”，或者有的同学使用定语从句写出的“I want to have a pen friend, who is a 20-year-old girl”。)

·In my mind, she is someone who is interested in traveling, swimming, and playing table tennis. (用到了定语从句和be interested in这种固定搭配。)

·Besides, it would be better for her to have a pet dog as I have kept one at home for some time. (这里使用了高中最难的语法点之一 ——虚拟语气。)

·With such a pen friend, I hope we can share with her our experience in traveling, taking care of pets, or whatever we have in common. (不仅使用了倒装句式，还使用了whatever这种词语。)

正如上面所说，倒装这类强势句式的使用，使文章更耐读，阅卷老师读起来更舒服。如果可以，大家可以在高考书面表达中，适当使用倒装、强调、感叹等强势句式，避免文章句式单一。

全国各地卷总评

在了解了高考英语全国卷I的基础上，我们再来综合分析一下今年各地的地方卷。

总体而言，2007年全国高考英语试题可以用四个字来总结“稳中求变”。“稳”在于各省市试题难度、题型变化均不大；“变”在于这是使用新课标教材以后的第一次高考，各省对高考题型进行了新的设置，出现了一些如语法填空、基础写作、任务阅读、读写任务等新题型。下面对今年各地高考题的总体方向做一个简评。

听力：大部分自主命题省份还是统一使用了全国卷的听力测试题。听力的语速、词汇量、口音等均与往年相仿。但是，考查听力填空题的省份却在增加，并且分值、难度各有不同。由此可以看出，今后听力填空题是命题的一个热点方向所在，解听力题将不再是能选择就行，而是需要学生具备处理并记录相关信息的能力。

语法：今年各地单项选择题所考热点还是以动词及其延伸考点为主，同时涉及其他各类语法知识点。但是，今年各地的单项选择题基本上不再有纯语法题，各地命题人在命题时均遵循“在语境中考查学生运用英语能力”这一原则。同时，今年使用新课标的广东首次通过语法填空题这一形式来考查学生的语法知识，有所创新。

完形：今年各地完形填空命题以记叙文或者夹叙夹议的文章为主，所叙述的事情通俗易懂，在内容上未给学生做题带来太大的困难。在命题上，除了细节性的题目、语法类的题目外，还增加了一些整体性的题目，这类题目需要学生了解整个文章大意后才能找到正确的答案。同时，完形中开始考查学生对长难句的理解和分析能力，这一点以前并未在高考中广泛考查，但今年各地的高考英语卷都有不同程度涉及，需要大家予以足够重视。

阅读：今年各地阅读在词汇量、题型、难度上均与去年持平，但是应用性的文章越来越受到重视，如广告、网站信息、节目单等。这类文章就如上海、浙江、广东等省考查的任务型阅读一样，主要考查学生实际运用和处理所得信息的能力。这从一定程度上反映了一个趋势：阅读理解今后会更加注重考查对应用性文章的理解能力。

第三部分阅读理解 (共两节, 满分40分)

第一节 (共15小题;每小题2分, 满分30分)

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的四个选项 (A, B, C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

In America, each of the states likes to promote themselves with a slogan (口号) .I currently live in Utah, where the slogan is“Life Elevated.”It's a nod to outdoor entertainment in thehigh country, including the ski industry.I previously lived in Colorado, a land with red dirt, great mountains and golden plains.The slogan there is“Colorful Colorado.”Years ago I lived in the“Peach State”of Georgia, and I grew up in New Mexico as a little boy, whose slogan is“Land of Enchantment (魔力) .”

We never seemed to get away from dust inNew Mexico, so I appreciate the story of a newcomer to the Land of Enchantment who learned about dusty breezes.She was visiting an antique shop and the owner wiped down every item before showing it.The newcomer said, “Everything gets dusty here pretty quickly, doesn't it?”

“That's not dust, honey, ”the shop owner replied.“That's ENCHANTMENT.”

Here was a person who took a negative and turned it into something humorous.That made the problem more acceptable, or at least live with.A Hong Kong shopping center manager was informed that an escalator (电动扶梯) broke.He posted a sign to warn customers.He chose not to use the traditional“Out of Order”or“Do Not Use”warnings.Instead, his sign read, “This Escalator Is Temporarily a Stairway.”He turned a minus into humor and made it a plus.

And in fact there are some things, like the weather, we can't change.All we can change is our ways that we think and feel about them.I believe one of the best techniques to do this is to find some humor in the situation.Finding something amusing or enjoyable of a difficulty, an irritation or a troublesome problem can be one of the most creative and effective things we can do.Sometimes the only sense you can make of a situation is a sense of humor.

56.The first paragraph is severed as a (n) ______.

A.predicationB.explanation

C.introductionD.conclusion

57.How could the newcomer feel after hearing what the shop owner said?

A.Angry.B.Curious.

C.Nervous.D.Relaxed.

58.According to the author, what is the most important when facing with problems?

A.Accepting them bravely.

B.Holding positive attitude.

C.Ignoring them quickly.

D.Using great intelligence.

59.What's the purpose of the writer's writing the passage?

A.To encourage people to find the funny side in their daily life.

B.To show the effects of using slogans to raise the position.

C.To explain the skills of turning a disadvantage into humor.

D.To tell the strange experience of a bargain in an antique shop.

B

There were once two brothers who lived on the 80th level.On coming home one day, they realized their situation of disorder that the lifts were not working and that they have to climb the stairs home.

After reassigning the 20th level, breathing quickly and tired, they decided to abandon their bags and come back for them the next day.They left their bags then and climbed on.When they have struggled to the 40th level, the younger brother started to complain and both of them began to quarrel all the way to the 60th floor.They then realized that they have only 20 levels more to climb and decided to stop quarrelling and continue climbing in peace.They silently climbed on and reached their home at last.Each stood calmly before the door and realized that the key was in their bags which were left on the 20th floor.

This story is reflecting on our lifemany of us live under the expectations of our parents, teachers and friends when young.We seldom get to do the things that we really like and love and are under so much pressure and stress so that by the age of 20, we get tired and decided to throw away this load.

Being free of the stress and pressure, we work eagerly and dream great wishes.But by the time we reach 40 years old, we start to lose our dreams.We began to feel unsatisfied and start to complain and criticize.Reaching 60, we realize that we have little left for complaining anymore, and we began to walk the final episode (插曲) in peace and calmness.We think that there is nothing left to disappoint us, only to realize that we could not rest in peace because we have an unfulfilled dreama dream we gave up 60 years ago.

A.They were trapped in lift.

B.They went to repair the lifts.

C.They left their keys at home.

D.They had to walk home.

61.How did the two men feel when standing in front of their door?

A.ExcitedB.Relaxed

C.UpsetD.Funny

C.Calm down and think highly of your family.

D.Make careful plans, avoid getting into troubles.

Being a teenager is a difficult challenge.You frequently jump up and down between childhood and adulthood, testing parental power and then depending on it.Parents often do not know what to expect.Many often find it difficult to understand your growing need for independence.

Some adults and parents view adolescence as a period of friction, change and problems.For you, it's a time of concern about acne (粉刺) , weight problems, late or early development, boredom, peer or school pressures and so on.

It's easy to understand why many find this a difficult time.But once it's over, you realize that most of your parents'“irritating”behavior was caused by feelings of love and concern.Yes, adolescence can be a suffering time.But how to make this period will less suffering and find more fun.Here are a few tips:

◆Be honest with your feelings.Your parents are a great resource of support and knowledge, but they don't know what's going on in your life if you don't tell them.

◆If your parents upset you by setting a curfew (宵禁) or by grounding you, don't immediately take the defensive side.If you start yelling or crying, you won't be able to express your important feelings.Make sure you talk to your parents when you're not emotionally upset.

◆Calmly tell your parents what's on your mind.Try not to use“you”statements like, “You don't give me enough freedom”or“You're never happy with anything I do.”These types of criticizing statements will only cause more conflict (冲突) .Instead use“I”statements such as“When I go out with my friends, your early curfew makes me feel as if you don't trust me, ”or“Sometimes I feel hurt when you don't give me credit for being responsible.”

◆Listen to what your parents have to say.If they say something you disagree with, don't immediately overreact.Give them a chance to express their feelings and then calmly explain why you may disagree with them.If you're getting a chance to express yourself, it's only fair to give the same opportunity to your parents.

63.From the passage, we can infer that as a teenager, he/she is likely to feel______.

A.confused B.exhausted

C.frightened D.wronged

64.The word friction in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to______.

A.unawarenessB.uncertainty

C.disagreementD.discouragement

65.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A.If possible, we should hide our feelings in order not to make our parents worry.

B.Our parents inspire us to get more life experience and learn more knowledge.

C.Whenever we have an argument with our parents, we should react actively.

D.We are likely to come to know why our parents treated us like that before.

66.When expressing our personal opinions, we are supposed to______.

A.ignore our parents'demands

B.avoid blaming our parents

C.ask someone else to convey

D.choose proper place and time

67.The author uses this passage mainly to______.

2014年高考英语模拟试题 (一) 参考答案

第二部分英语知识运用

第一节单项填空

21.D。考查情景交际用语。根据语境, 问句是提出请求而非建议, 故不能选A, with pleasure是对建议的回答, 意为“当然了, 很乐意”, 选项B和C不恰当。故选择D项, by all means“一定, 务必”表示肯定回答, 符合句意。

22.C。本题考查冠词。have a reputation for“有……的名誉”;in nature“在大自然里”, nature意为“大自然”时, 其前一般不用冠词。

23.C。本题考查tend的用法。tend“趋向, 倾向”, 其后跟动词时, 应用不定式, 所以这里用tend to do sth.

24.D。本题考查连词。由空格前的complain以及其后的happy with可知前后的关系用unless符合逻辑。

25.D。本题考查介词短语。句意:观众等着幕布升起, 一看到滑稽的演员上场, 他们就大笑起来。at the sight of“一看到”, 符合语境。in the presence of“在……面前”;at the point of“靠近, 接近”;in the case of“在……的情况下”。

26.D。本题考查否定陈述。当同意对方否定的说法时, 可用me neither, 意为“我也不……”。

27.B。本题考查短语动词。句意:那个战士很坚强, 动手术的时候没用麻药, 但他一声也没叫。let out“发出 (喊叫等) ”;make out“理解, 了解”;pick out“挑选出”;work out“解决”。

28.B。句意:今天比昨天有更多的人。本题容易选A。因为许多学生很快会联想到a lot of短语。其实, 只需要仔细看完句子就会发现句子的后面有than, 暗示要选比较等级, 而比较级前面用a lot来加强语气。

29.C。句意:小猴子要到几岁的时候才开始表现出脱离母猴而独立的迹象。否定词not位于句首, 要用倒装句, 即把句子谓语的情态动词或助动词提到主语前面。

30.C。本题考查名词性从句。由reflects可知其前的句子应是主语从句, 主语从句的主谓结构为everyone wants to be friends, 本身不缺成分, 故用that引导主语从句。

31.C。考查习惯用法。It occurs/occurred to sb that意为“某人想起……”句意为:Tim, 你有没有想到过会被选上参加学校才艺表演决赛呢?

32.C。这里用的是with+名词+doing的结构, 表示动作正在进行或在当时看来已是一种在持续的状态, 又表示被动, 所以要用现在分词的被动形式, 故答案选C。

33.B。本题考查形容词辨析。句意:与别人不同的是, Tim十分渴求知识, 以至于找的到的书他都读。greedy“渴望的”, 符合句意。responsible“负责的”;appropriate“合适的”;ready“准备好的”。

34.A。句意:那个小女孩发现自己迷路了, 不知道走去那里, 并被她所见到的东西吓坏了, 这里用过去分词与前面的现在分词短语not knowing都表示伴随状语。

35.C。句意:———这是一个可爱的一天, 不是吗?———是的。我喜欢像这样的天气。我们坐在外面吃午餐好吗?本题主要考查it作形式宾语的句型。动词love, like, hate, dislike, enjoy, prefer, appreciate等后一般不能直接接句子, 需加it后再接when或if所引导的句子。

3.第一段第三句中thank→thanks。表示谢意一般习惯用thanks形式, 又如祝愿语的wishes。

4.第二段第二句中the→a。这里要表达的意思是:……给我提供幸福的生活, 所以要用a happy life。

5.第二段第三句中on→for。这是短语do sth for sb的固定搭配。

6.第二段第三句中such→so。这里是修饰much, 所以要用so, such只修饰名词。

7.第二段第五句中Unless→Whenever/When/If。根据句子结构和语境这里不是表示“如果不, 除非”, 而是表示时间或者肯定的条件。

8.第二段第五句中help→helpful。根据句子结构可知, 这里是表示与前面的patient并列, 所以要用形容词形式。

9.第二段第六句中more→less。根据句意和逻辑关系可知, 有更多的朋友, 应该是没有感到太多的孤独寂寞, 故用little的比较级less。

10.第三段第二句中you后加are。根据短语be in good health的搭配, 而且句子主语为you, 所以这里漏了be动词。

高考英语试题 篇6

听力

2013年湖南卷听力部分在题型设置上没有改变，仍然为15道选择题和五道填空题。听力材料共有六段对话和一段独白，内容涉及学习、娱乐、生活三大主题。听力难度相较于2012年有所提高，但是总体来说难度不大，具体体现在有95%的题为细节信息题，答案可以直接从录音中得出。下面笔者分题型进行具体分析。

1. 细节信息题

细节信息题是指答案可以直接从录音中听取的题型。今年的细节信息题主要呈现以下几个特点。

（1） 时间数字题一直以来都是湖南卷喜欢考查的一类题型，今年也不例外。例如：

2. When should the man arrive at the airport？

A. By 8：15.B. By 9：00.C. By 9：25.

【解析】录音大意为男士询问女士关于航班的信息。A、C两项在录音中均有提到，从we've got a nonstop flight leaving Kennedy at 9：25可知C为航班起飞时间，而题目问的是男士应到达机场的时间，从女士的回答try to be there by 8：15可知正确答案为A。

【总结】近年来，湖南卷对时间数字题进行了简化，往年喜欢考的数字计算题近两年均未出现，取而代之的是数字时间听辨题，即出现多个数字但只选择其一。尽管难度降低，但是时间数字题一直都是同学们的薄弱点，因此平时还是要多进行时间数字的辨音练习。

（2） 今年的听力试题中多次考查了建议句型。例如：

7. What will the project focus on？

A. A dog.B. A fish.C. A cat.

【解析】录音大意为男女同学讨论养宠物课题任务以及分工事宜。三个选项在录音中均有出现，男生说他和Tom正在考虑研究a cat or a dog，问女生喜欢哪个，女生回答说：“Well， I don't know much about either of them. What about fish？”从中可知女生对猫和狗都不感兴趣，她建议研究鱼，故正确答案为B。

【总结】湖南卷在长对话部分经常设题考查建议句型，比如该题考查的“What about ...”。一般来说，建议句型本身为考点的几率可达98%，因此同学们需要对各类建议句型相当熟悉，在听到建议句型时要保持高度敏感。

（3） 转折词后出现考点是湖南卷每年必有的出题形式，而且今年难度有所增加。具体体现在往年均出现在显性转折词but等后，而今年却出现了隐性转折。例如：

10. What can we know about the woman's vacation？

A. She will stay on the beaches.

B. She will go camping in the jungle.

C. She will spend 3 weeks in South Africa.

【解析】录音大意为男士询问女士去度假旅行的事宜。男士以为女士会去海边，女士回答说：Actually， I'm not going to the beaches.... So I'm going camping in the jungle instead. 女士没用显性转折词but进行否定，而是用了隐性转折词actually和instead，故正确答案为B。

【总结】转折词后跟考点是湖南卷最常见的出题形式之一。从今年的试题来看，同学们不但要对but、however等显性转折词敏感，还要格外注意actually、instead、in fact等隐性转折词。

2. 推理判断题

推理判断题是指无法直接从录音中找到答案的题型。值得一提的是，今年湖南卷听力部分只出现了一道推理判断题，而且是常考的人物身份判断题。例如：

15. What is the probable relationship between the two speakers？

A. Teacher and student.

B. Father and daughter.

C. Classmates.

【解析】录音大意为两人在派对上相遇后进行寒暄。通过女士对男士的称谓Mr. Martin以及两人谈论的细节I can't believe all you kids are graduating和I'll never forget your interesting lectures可推断，两人为师生关系，故正确答案为A。

【总结】人物身份推断题切忌通过话题来猜测，而是要通过特殊的场景词汇以及说话语气来进行判断。

3. 填空题

填空题的形式仍旧采用往年最常用的提纲式，但与近几年不同的是，今年的填空题在表头设了空，比如第16题的“How to Speak English ___ （Confidently）”。除此之外，其他题一般都能直接从录音中得出答案。

备考建议：

值得同学们注意的是，2013年湖南卷听力试题有许多题的出题形式回归到了2010年改革前的旧题形式，这就意味着同学们在平时练习时不能只注重近几年的高考真题，还要练习和研究2010年之前的真题。

单项选择

nlc202309062214

今年湖南卷单项选择的难度较去年稍有增加。从考点来看，三大考点（时态和语态、从句、非谓语动词）仍然是重中之重，有11道题之多，剩余四道题包括三道特殊句型题和一道情态动词题。具体分布如下表所示：

1. 时态和语态

时态和语态题是湖南卷单选题的重要考点之一，题目数量一直为4～6道。解答这类题一般需要分三步走：第一步，根据句中时间状语、其他动词时态和对话情境判断动作发生的时间（现在、过去、将来）；第二步，判断动作发生的状态（一般、进行、完成、完成进行）；第三步，判断主被动语态。下面笔者以今年真题为例来进行具体分析。例如：

34. —I don't understand why you didn't go to the lecture yesterday afternoon.

—I'm so sorry. But I ______ my homework.

A. had done B. was doing

C. would do D. am doing

【解析】首先判断动作发生的时间。题干属于一问一答的对话，根据句意可知答句后半句回答的是问句中的问题why you didn't go to the lecture yesterday afternoon。由问题中的一般过去时和过去时间yesterday afternoon可知“做作业”发生在过去，故可先排除D。接下来判断动作发生的状态。如果选A，则说明在昨天下午之前做作业去了；如果选C，则说明在昨天下午之后开始去做作业。二者均不能回答“为什么你昨天下午没有去听讲座”，故正确答案为B，表示在昨天下午那段时间正在做作业。

2. 从句

三大类从句是湖南卷必考的内容，今年各考查了一道，其中名词性从句选择了宾语从句作为考点，这道题也是今年从句题中较难的一道。例如：

28. Do not let any failures discourage you， for you can never tell ______ close you may be to victory.

A. how B. that

C. which D. where

【解析】分析题干可知，tell后缺少宾语，故可判断该题考查的是名词性从句中的宾语从句。再来看宾语从句______ close you may be to victory，分析可知从句缺少表语，引导词在此充当表语且其后要紧跟形容词close，故只能用表程度的how，答案为A。

3. 非谓语动词

今年湖南卷对非谓语动词的考查主要包括非谓语动词作状语和作定语两个知识点。做这类题要把握以下三点：第一，确定非谓语动词的逻辑主语；第二，确定逻辑主语和非谓语动词的主被动关系；第三，非谓语动词和谓语动词动作发生的时间顺序。另外要注意，句首设空时要优先考虑不定式to do表目的的用法。例如：

25. The sun began to rise in the sky， ______ the mountain in golden light.

A. bathed B. bathing

C. to have bathed D. having bathed

【解析】首先确定非谓语动词的逻辑主语。一般来说，被逗号分隔的非谓语动词往往与主句共用一个主语，因此此处非谓语动词的逻辑主语即为句子主语the sun。接下来确定逻辑主语和非谓语动词的主被动关系。分析题干可知，是太阳使山峦沐浴在金色的阳光中而不是太阳被沐浴，因此the sun与bathe为主动关系。最后来判断非谓语动词和谓语动词动作发生的时间顺序。根据句意可知，“太阳升起”与“使山峦沐浴”同时进行，故答案为B。

4. 特殊句型

今年的湖南卷主要考查了主谓一致、倒装和祈使句三大特殊句型，主谓一致和倒装近几年都有考到，祈使句则比较少见。从今年来看，祈使句题目（第30题）是最容易出错的一道，同学们要注意辨别，找到该题考查的实质。

5. 情态动词

今年对情态动词的考查（第32题）非常简单，只要正确理解题干，选出答案不是问题。

备考建议：

近几年来，湖南卷单项选择主要考查的是一些最基本的知识点以及对基本用法的实际运用，因此大家在复习备考时，要以基础练习和实际运用为主，切勿抓住难题和偏题不放。

完形填空

2013年湖南卷完形填空整体难度与去年基本持平，考点也相对固定，考生容易拿到高分。选择型完形填空依旧着重考查考生对文意的理解以及对实词的把握。填词型完形填空主要考查考生对文意的理解以及对虚词的把握。

1. 选择型完形填空

2013年湖南卷选择型完形填空依旧是一篇记叙文，讲述了主人公离家出走的一则故事。文章及选项均无难词，整体难度较低。12道题对词类的考查也比较均匀，具体分布为：名词三道，动词四道，形容词和副词各两道，固定短语一道。试题虽然简单，但是考生在做题时仍需注意以下几个方面。

（1） 把握文意

对于一篇记叙文而言，事情发展的过程必然有前后联系。对于一篇文章而言，文章的主题思想起着统领全文的作用。考生如果能意识到这两点，那绝大多数题目都可以迎刃而解。例如：

With my suitcase 36 and some sandwiches in a bag ...

36. A. packed B. returned

C. cleaned D. repaired

nlc202309062214

【解析】考生只要理解文意，知道文中主人公要离家出走即可解题。离家出走前一般会做什么呢？结合四个选项可知，“收拾”东西为最佳答案，故选A。

（2） 注意联系上下文

一篇记叙文在记叙的过程中，会有许多信息重复出现，所以考生在解题时需要注意上下文的信息提示。例如：

"Wait a minute，" Mom said. "I want your 39 back. You didn't wear anything when you arrived." This really angered me. I tore my clothes off ...

39. A. bag B. clothes

C. sandwiches D. suitcase

【解析】分析句子不难发现，下文中的wear和clothes属于上下文对应重复信息，故正确答案为B。

2. 填词型完形填空

填词型完形填空的文章为一篇说明文，介绍了一种足球。该题考查的重点依旧为虚词，题目看似简单，但由于个别题目的类型不同于以往的填词型完形填空，所以考生要拿高分并非易事。具体体现在以下两方面。

（1） 加强了对代词的考查

对代词的考查其实就是对文意的考查，只有了解了空格所指代的内容才能填出正确答案。例如：

Determined to solve this problem， 50 created an indestructible ball called the One World Futbol.

【解析】分析句子不难发现，整个句子缺少主语。根据文意可知，决定解决这个问题的正是该句的主语，联系前文可知此处应填he。

（2） 新增对比较级与最高级的考查

今年考查了近几年没有考查的比较级和最高级，增加了试题难度。例如：

It's lightweight， it's flexible， and—52 important—it holds its shape.

【解析】结合文意可知，本句在描述新型足球的优点。空格前已介绍了两个优点，那么接下来要介绍的肯定是最重要的，所以要用最高级，答案为most。

备考建议：

近几年湖南卷完形填空的文章及题目基本都维持在中等难度，考生要注重培养对文意的准确把握。填词型完形填空着重考查虚词，因此大家还要加强对虚词用法及文章逻辑的训练。

选择型阅读理解

2013年湖南卷选择型阅读理解和前三年相比，无论是文章体裁还是题目难度均无较大差异。文章体裁主要考查的还是记叙文（B篇）、应用文（A篇）和说明文（C篇）。题目难度与2012年持平，属于中等偏易。另外值得一提的是，湖南卷自2010年以来阅读理解题型数量的分布相当稳定，细节题、主旨题和词义题比例一直都是12：2：1。今年也不例外。下面笔者按题型来具体分析。

1. 细节题

所谓细节题，是指针对文中某个细节、某句话或某部分具体内容所设置的问题。该类题几乎都可以在文章中直接找到与答案有关的信息或是其变体。做这类题一般可采用先题后文的方法，即先读题，然后带着题干中的定位词或问题本身快速阅读文章，找出与问题有关的词语或句子，再将相关内容进行分析对比，找出答案。简言之，细节题的正确答案只要满足下列两个条件之一即可：①与原文重复；②是对原文某处的同义改写。例如：

62. In the journey， the author was most disappointed at seeing .

A. the long track B. the poor houses

C. the same train D. the winding road

【解析】根据题干信息most disappointed定位至原文第二段最后一句and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness，由此可知当作者看到那些破旧的（shabby）房屋时最为失望，故正确答案为B。本题题干对原文信息进行了改写，原文最后一句the greatest feeling of hopelessness与题干定位信息most disappointed均为最高级形式，属于同义改写。

2. 主旨题

主旨题主要包括四大类：文章大意类、最佳标题类、写作目的类和作者态度类。不管是哪种类型的主旨题，都要做到高屋建瓴，不能管中窥豹，略见一斑。因此，找准文章的主旨句至关重要。文章主旨句一般出现在文章首段或第二段的句首。例如：

60. The main purpose of the passage is ____.

A. to tell visitors how to book in advance

B. to supply visitors with hotel information

C. to show visitors the importance of self-help

D. to offer visitors some money-saving tips

【解析】该题属于主旨题中的写作目的类。首先看A篇首段：Planning a visit to the UK？ Here we help with ways to cut your costs. 考生只需读完首段便可知本文的目的是向游客介绍几种去英国旅游减少开销的方法，故正确答案为D。

nlc202309062214

3. 词义题

词义题主要考查考生对文章前后逻辑的理解能力。对于湖南卷而言，词义题的答案基本可以在划线词所在的句子或该句子附近的1～3句话内找到答案。例如：

61. "Early Childhood Development" in Paragraph 1 refers to .

A. a program directed by Dorothy

B. a course given by the author

C. an activity held by the students D. an organization sponsored by Union College

【解析】根据题干中的Early Childhood Development可快速定位至文章第一段，由when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program可知，Early Childhood Development为作者所教授的一门课程，故正确答案为B。

备考建议：

综上所述我们可以看出，湖南卷选择型阅读理解的文章体裁和题型分布都已趋于稳定，因此，同学们在备考过程中要以近几年的高考真题为主，把每道题做懂、做透。另外，建议想得高分的同学可以从词汇、句子、逻辑和出题规律四个方面进行备考，相信大家一定可以在明年高考中轻松攻克选择型阅读理解。

（李胜）

阅读填空与阅读简答

1. 阅读填空

从文章来看，今年的文章延续了湖南卷历年高考阅读填空题的特征：文体为说明文，结构是非常清晰的总分结构。内容上主要讲述了大规模网络开放课程（MOOCs）的特点和潜力以及面临的挑战和对未来的展望。从题目难度来看，今年题目总体来说比去年稍难，属于中等难度。从题型设置来看，文章中的五个段落与图表中的五个分支相匹配。从题型来看，三大题型的分布也基本平衡。其中主旨大意题三道（第71、75、77题），细节定位题四道（第72、76、78、79题），信息加工题三道（第73、74、80题）。下面笔者按题型进行具体分析。

（1） 主旨大意题

一般来说，这类题的基本解题方法为先看首句（文章首句或段落首句），然后找核心名词。但也有些题目需要利用各段段首的信息来解题，例如第77题。阅读第四段首句“However， it is still very early days for MOOCs”，从中我们并没有发现可以概括该句意思的核心名词。这时，可以阅读第五段首句“Considering the challenges， some people argue MOOCs will soon evaporate （蒸发）”，利用上下文的逻辑关系可知此处的the challenges指的是上文中的内容，故可判断第四段主要讲述的就是所面临的challenges。

（2） 细节定位题

这类题重点考查学生的快速定位能力，只要找到原文定位处，答案基本可以照抄原文或将原文稍作修改（注意与并列项结构相同）即可，例如第74题。首先根据attractions定位到文章第二段，再根据并列项中的信息university education定位到“of university education， or who do not have formal qualifications”。已给题干和原文结构不完全相同，需要稍作改写，故将原来修饰have的do not改为修饰名词的no，答案为no formal qualifications。

（3） 信息加工题

这类题要求考生在准确定位的基础上，对原文进行加工。这就需要考生在理解原文的基础上删减字数或进行同义替换，例如第73题。首先根据attractions定位到文章第二段，再根据空格后的信息university education定位到MOOCs are attractive to people who do not have the financial resources to meet the growing costs of university education。根据句意可知这里是指那些负担不起日益增长的大学教育费用的人，由于题干缺少谓语，故将原文同义替换为cannot/can't afford/pay for。

2. 阅读简答

从文章体裁和题材来看，今年的文章仍旧是一篇记叙文，主要讲述作者与一个特别的人交流和相处的过程。从题目难度来看，今年与去年持平，比较容易。从题型来看，今年没有特别大的变化。其中信息定位题三道（第81、82、83题），信息加工题一道（第84题）。信息定位题主要考查考生的定位能力以及对题干意思的理解能力，解题关键在于抓准定位词并迅速定位。信息加工题主要考查考生对题干和原文的理解能力和对句子的加工表达能力，解题关键在于准确理解题干和原文定位处的意思。

备考建议：

2013年湖南卷阅读填空和阅读简答整体比较平稳，文章特点和出题规律都与近几年保持一致，这说明这两类阅读新题型已经基本走向标准化。鉴于此，大家在备考时要注意以下三点：①了解说明文和记叙文的文体结构特征；②从题型、难度等方面入手总结历年真题的出题规律；③积累一定的信息转换知识，如短语改写成用单词概括以及句子的合并等。

（袁宇娇）

写作

1. 命题趋势

今年湖南卷的写作题既“合乎常理”又“出人意料”。“合乎常理”是因为它完全遵循了考试大纲的要求，即“要求学生用英语恰当地表达自己的情感、态度和价值观”。从2010年“记叙+议论”的布局方式，到2011年的“描述+议论”，再到2012年的“记叙+议论”，直至今年的“记叙+议论”，这几年的试题在要求中都有强调考生写出自己的感受，也就是前面提到的“议论”。“出人意料”则是因为湖南卷写作部分开放程度越来越高。与去年“失而复得的经历”相比，今年试题的开放程度堪称最高。题中仅给出了match、winner、loser和result这四个考生再熟悉不过的单词，任考生联想，写出自己或他人的一段故事或经历。

2. 试题解析

高考作文三段式的结构对大家来说是再熟悉不过了。开头段可直接提出话题，简单明了。

中间段是整篇作文的重头戏，考生在写作时要注意以下三点。第一，不管是故事描述类还是现象评论类，首先要对整个经历有一个大致的描述，交代经历发生的时间、地点等。如：The most unforgettable experience happened during the summer vacation in 2010. 第二，总述过后就是“分”的部分的处理。任何一个故事的发展都应该具备“起—承—转—合”四个部分，这四个部分可以用四句话来写，句首可采用一些时间标志词来体现故事的发展顺序。如：On a bright sunny day/After a short enjoyable time/Then/Unfortunately/At last。书写时要注意句与句的连贯性，以增强中间段的紧凑性。第三，高考英语作文轻内容而重语言，所以大家不需要费尽心思去想一个情节多么跌宕起伏、结局多么出人意料的故事。真正需要斟酌的地方在于语言，灵活运用各种词汇和句型才是得分法宝。

结尾段对应的是题目要求中的“你的感受”。这一段不需要大篇幅的铺陈，完全可以套用常用的句型“只有……人们才能……”（Only by ... can somebody ...）来写。（编注：该文作者提供的范文请参见本刊随刊附赠的赠卷答案部分）

备考建议：

湖南卷近十年以来都未曾出现过偏题、怪题，因此，同学们在平时的学习中要注意掌握重点词汇，加强和巩固基础语法的运用，在此基础上再辅以相应的技巧练习。

A new study finds a lack of education foryoung children in developing nations seriously affects the country's economic progress. The organization Results for Development called R4D performed the study.The Non-Governmental group is based in Washington D. C. Its study says children who are not attending primary school are an unused source of economic growth for their country.

R4D says it performed the study because it was worried about a growing worldwide problem in education.

Milan Thomas works for R4D. He says therehas been progress in reducing the number of children who do not attend school, but he says thatprogress has slowed in recent years. He says thereis no disagreement that children with basic education can look forward to a better life.

“The benefits associated with primary education are really undisputed at this point becausethere are countless studies showing that childrenwho complete basic education tend to enjoy betterhealth and higher incomes over their lifetimes, ”said Thomas.

But he says even though the value of education is known, it is important to find new ways ofproving that value. So the organization led itswork with the question, “What is the estimatedcost to a nation's economy of its out-of-school children? ”

The study uses information from the UNESCOInstitute for Statistics, as well as studies of developing labor markets. The results estimate thelosses suffered by 20 developing countries if moreyoung children can not get basic education. MilanThomas says the study also considered earningsthe children not attending primary school wouldnever receive.

He says the research found that it is far morecostly in Sub-Saharan Africa to have primaryschool age children out of school than to educatethem. He notes the cost to provide all childrenwith primary education is much less than the average cost of not providing the schooling.

He says he hopes the study will prove to localgovernments and policy makers the value of abasic education for all children. And he says hehopes it will move them for provide that educationto primary school age children in their country.

New research suggests that speaking morethan one language may delay different kinds of dementia, that is the lost of mental ability. In fact, researchers say, speaking two languages appearsto be more important than the level of education indefending against dementia.

A study in India examined the effect ofknowing more than one language in delaying thefirst signs of several disorders, these includedAlzheimer's disease, frontotemporal dementia, vascular dementia, Lewy bodies dementia andmixed dementias. Researchers studied nearly 650people whose average age was 66. 240 of thosestudied suffered from Alzheimer's, the most common form of mental decline.

391 of the subjects spoke two or more languages. Investigators found the dementia beganabout four-and-a-half years later in those whowere bilingual compared to those who spoke onlyone language. The level of education had no effecton the age at the first sign of dementia.

Thomas Bak helped to organise the study.He is with the Center of Cognitive Aging at theUniversity of Edinburgh in Scotland. He suggeststhat individuals who speak more than one language train their brains by moving back and forthbetween different words and expressions.

Mr Bak believes this effort improves what scientists called executive functioning or attention totasks, which often weakens in people with dementia.

Researchers found there was no extra gain inspeaking more than two languages. They also didnot see a delay in the first signs of Lewy bodiesdementia, the disorder causes patients to see orexperience things that do not really exist. Theycan also cause sufferers to move back and forthbetween being wide awake and really sleeping.

Mr Bak says it does not appear importantwhether you learn a language at a young age orlater in life.

“So it's not something you sort of say that‘you missed the boat when you do not do it as ababy. ' It is something that is still quite useful andpowerful when you do it as an adult, ”he said.

B. Speaking more than one language.

C. Doing sports.

D. Playing games.

Seventy years have passed since the Battle ofStalingrad, a fierce battle between Adolf Hitler'sGermany and Joseph Stalin's Russia. Yet a newgeneration of Russians is now going out to see thelatest film called Stalingrad.

Ksenia Kuznetsova has just seen the film at atheater in a Moscow shopping mall.

“Thankfully I was born after that period andI didn't have to experience it. But the charactersin the film give you the feeling that you're livingwith them. ”

The movie Stalingrad began showing in theaters in October. It has become Russia's biggestselling movie since the collapse of the SovietUnion more than 20 years ago.

Today, the city of Stalingrad is calledVolgograd. The government completely rebuilt thecity, after it was destroyed during the war.

A patriotic statue there known as theMotherland Calls was the largest in the worldwhen Soviet officials first displayed it in 1967.However, the 8, 000-ton monument is built onclay, and it has started to lean.

City residents are hopeful that, after spending millions on a Hollywood-style movie, Russia'sgovernment will invest in repairing the monumentto the real war dead of Stalingrad.

Workplaces all over the UK are preparing forthe festive period and all the traditions and customs that come with it. But will this Christmas bea cause for happiness and celebration ordisappointment and embarrassment?

One way that colleagues in Britain show theirappreciation of each other at this time of year is bydoing a “Secret Santa ” present giving. SecretSanta is when people who work together buy eachother gifts without saying who they are from.

Co-workers all write their names on a pieceof paper and then stage a lottery ( 抽签) in whicheach workmate takes another colleague's name atrandom ( 随意) . Each person then has to buy apresent for the colleague whose name they havepicked, usually with an agreed budget ( 预算) setat a small amount of money such as five or tenpounds.

As the gifts are given without telling theirnames, the quality of presents can vary greatly; inan Internet survey of Secret Santa presents, giftsthat people received ranged from tickets to theopera to an air-freshener hanger ( 钩子) for a car.

Another common seasonal workplace traditionis the office Christmas party, when workmates puton their most beautiful clothes and take advantageof a plentiful supply of free beer, wine or softdrink.

While most parties go off without a mistake, sometimes the effects of alcohol cause party-goersto regret their drunken behaviors.

The BBC invited people to share their mostembarrassing Christmas office party stories, andreceived hundreds of funny stories, such as theman who split his trousers back to front with hisextravagant dance moves or a bit drunken ladywho spent the entire night with her dress put intoher pants and saw the photos that proved it later at work.

But the worst story must surely come fromStuart Vaines, who got so drunk that he put hisboss's head down the toilet. Unsurprisingly, hewas fired the very next day.

32. According to the passage, who is SecretSanta?

A. Christmas Father.

B. One of the bothers and sisters.

C. One of the parents.

D. One of the colleagues.

33. For whom do the workers decide to buygifts?

A. The person whose name is on the lottery.

B. The person he loves best.

C. The person who has helped him most.

D. The person he respects most.

34.Which one of the events is themost embarrassing?

A. A man split his trousers back to front.

B. A drunken lady with her dress put intoher pants.

C. A drunken man put his boss's head downthe toilet.

D. A man received a ticket to the opera.

35.What is mainly talked about inthis passage?

This week, we hear about an Americanscientist, Tom Krupenkin, who teaches electricalengineering at the University of Wisconsin. Heand his team want to reduce dependence on costlyand polluting batteries, soNow he isdeveloping easy-to-use technology to harvestelectrical energy from the simple act of walking.He hopes the technology can provide an environmentally friendly way to power mobile devices likecellphones, laptop computers, and GPS systemsanywhere.

Professor Krupenkin and his team haveplaced a device in a shoe that collects and storesenergy from human motion and turns it into electricity. One part of this device is an energy harvester. It has two small containers filled withthousands of very small drops of liquid. Thesedroplets get pushed back and forth as a personwalks. This way,

The team has also developed a system to permit use of the stored energy by common mobile devices. It does not require connections with wires, and can be used to create a wireless signal. A cellphone that uses the wireless “hotspot”from the shoe would use much less power than if connected to a wireless telephone network.

The devices are about the size of a creditcard. Professor Krupenkin says the system isalways powered. So unlike a traditionalbattery,

However, the professor also says he does notexpect this invention to replace traditionalbatteries. But it will help reduce dependence onthem. Professor Krupenkin says there are a hugenumber of possible uses for this technology, so hethinks the technology would be useful for peoplein rural areas

He notes that it makes a lot of sense forpeopleAnd he says the technology couldbe used by soldiers who must carry batterypowered electronic devices into difficult territory.

Capturing human energy to power globallypopular mobile devices could be both a technological and business success. Professor Krupenkinexpects to have a commercial product on the market within the next two years.

A.the droplets produce and harvestelectricity

B. where there is no electrical power

C. who can't afford their batteries for theirelectric equipment

D. who depend on devices like mobilephones and laptop computers

E. this energy harvester never needs tobe recharged

F. they have turned to human beings

G. where there is little water

One possible version:

Dear editor,

I had my lunch in our school canteen yesterday, when I found that some students wasted food badly. Now I'm writing to you, hoping that you can help stop that things happening in our school again.

It was about 12∶ 30 yesterday when I went into the canteen, and there were many students having their lunch there, some of whom bought too much food. As they couldn't finish their food, they couldn't but throw it away. As a result, some other students couldn't get food when they came to the canteen later.

Though they are rich and they have the right to use their own money, I think they still have no right to waste the food. I hope they can understand it and know that food belongs to human beings. We should all cherish the food.

Thank you!

Yours,

Li Ming.

A

Researchers in Hungary have confirmedsomething many dog owners have long suspected:that canines understand our feelings.

Using a Magnetic Resonance Scanner, orMRI,scientists found that when it comes to emotions,dogs' brains are similar to those of humans.

Dogs are usually not relaxed in a lab environment,but with a little petting and lots of treatsthey can be trained to sit still even in an MRIscanner. That's how researchers in Hungary'sELTE University were able to get images of theirbrains at work.

Research fellow Attila Andics says it helpedthem better understand the dogs' relationship withhumans.

“We have known for a long time that dogsand humans share similar social environment,but now our results show that dogs and humans alsohave similar brain mechanisms to process socialinformation,”said Andics.

After training 11 dogs to stay motionlesswhile their brains were scanned,the researcherschecked their neurological responses to about 200emotionally significant sounds,from whining andcrying to playful barking and laughing. They thencompared the responses from human subjects.They found striking similarities. Andics says itopens new possibilities for research.

“It establishes a foundation of a new branchof comparative neuroscience,because until now itwas not possible to measure the brain activities ofa non-primate and the primate brain in a singleexperiment,”said Andics.

The canine mind is also being studied atDuke University,in North Carolina. Co-Directorof the school's Canine Cognition Center, EvanMac Lean,says that the Hungarian results are animportant step forward.

“We've known for a long time that dogs havea lot of behavioral similarities compared to humans. But we don't know anything or very little atleast about whether some of these behaviors arerepresented similarly inside the brain of the dog,so this research is providing a first glimpses towhether these behavioral similarities are underlined by similar neural processes,” said Mac Lean.

And what that tells ordinary dog owners,theHungarian scientists say,is to treat your caninecompanions as friends, not mere animals, because they evidently understand human feelings.

21. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. It illustrates the development of neuroscience.

B. It presents a new biological research.

C. It calls on the public to treat dogs asfriends as they can understand human feelings.

D. It shows how advanced technology andequipment support a research.

22. How does the scientific method workduring the research of dogs?

A. Observation, Experiment, Data collection,Conclusion,Question

B. Observation, Experiment, Data collection,Question,Conclusion

C. Observation,Question,Experiment,Datacollection,Conclusion

D. Question,Observation,Data collection,Experiment,Conclusion

23. It is implied in the sixth paragraph that______.

A. all the responses between the dogs andhumans are the same

B. the Hungarian research would make itpossible for researchers to further study

C. different animals respond to the 200 emotionally significant sounds differently

D. not all the dogs were scanned duringthe research

B

Being a mother is apparently not like it wasin the good old days.

Today's parents yearn for the golden age thattheir own mothers enjoyed in the 1970s and1980s,researchers found.

Mothers have less time to themselves and feelunder greater pressure towork and familylife than the previous generation.

As a result,88 percent said they felt guiltyabout the lack of time they spent with their children.

The survey of 1,000 mothers also found thatmore than a third said they had less time to themselves than their mothers did — just three hours aweek or 26 minutes a day.

And 64 percent said this was because theyfelt they had to go out to work,while nearly athird ( 29 percent) said they were under constantpressure to be the perfect mother, the reportfound.

Other findings showed social networking andparenting websites,as well as technology such asSkype,were important in providing help and support among female communities.

Kate Fox,of the Social Issues Research Centre,which conducted the survey for Procter &Gamble,said“With increasing pressure on mothers to work a ‘double shift ’— to be a perfectmother as well as a wage-earner — support networks are more important than ever. ”

It comes as a separate report examiningchildcare in the leading industrialized nationsfound that working mothers in Britain spend just81 minutes a day caring for their children as a‘primary activity'.

Mothers who stay at home, on the otherhand,manage twice as much time — more thantwo and a half hours — looking after their offspring, accordingtotheOrganizationforEconomic Co-operation and Development.

Critics say the pressure on women to worklong hours,and leave their offspring in the handsof nurseries or childminders,is putting the wellbeing of their children at risk.

The study also reveals that,despite the factthat more and more modern mothers go out towork,the burden of childcare still falls on them— even if their husband is not in work.

A father who is not in work tends to spendjust 63 minutes a day looking after his child — 18minutes less than a mother who goes out to work.

Working fathers spare less than three quarters of an hour with their children.

24. The underlined word “ juggle ” in thethird paragraph most probably means.

A. deal with B. look for

C. fight with D. meet with

25. The working mothers and the motherswho stay at home mainly differ in that.

A. the working mothers spend more time caring for their children

B. the mothers who stay at home spend moretime caring for their children

C. the working mothers and the mothers whostay at home have different attitudes to children

D. the working mothers care more about theirchildren

26. What's the main idea of the passage?

A. Motherhood was harder nowadays.

B. It is easier to be a mother than before.

C. Mothers should spend more time with theirchildren.

D. Fathers spend little time looking after theirchildren.

27. What is the tone of the writer?

A. Pessimistic.B. Excited.

C. Objective.D. Sympathetic.

About 70 percent of the new diseases thathave infected humans in recent decades havecome from animals. The U. N. Food and Agriculture Organization warn it's getting easier for diseases to make that jump as the population and foodsupply chains grow.

The FAO has released a new reported calledWorld Livestock 2013: Changing Disease Landscapes. It says those landscapes have become“vastly more complicated”by human activity.

“I think that if we continue the state of play,we'll only see more diseases emerge — more natural resources disappear — and more threats to thehuman health into the food chain,” said JuanLubroth,the agency's Chief Veterinary Officer.

He described conditions as the “perfect microbial storm”.

“We have certain issues such as climatechange,particularly humidity and tropical weathers. We have increased globalization,more trafficacross the world. People traveling more, moretrade. We are occupying habitats that previouslywe as humans did not really know those ecologicalniches were occupied by other species. But weare invading them. ”

He said inadequate healthcare systems andsanitation infrastructure( 卫生设施) raise the riskof disease in poor areas. And as populationgrows,livestock production intensifies,which hasits own set of risk factors.

“As we intensify livestock production,wehave created,let's say,a monoculture. By usingantibiotics,for example,as growth promoters orantibiotics without the supervision( 监督) of qualified personnel,we do allow for disease resistantorganisms to go throughout the herd or throughoutthe community. And this can,at the end,affecthuman health,”he said.

Lubroth gave some examples of diseases thathave jumped from animals to humans.

“The origin of the human immunodeficiency( 免疫缺陷) virus,HIV,which causes AIDS,probably had its precursor in something that weknow today to be simian or monkey immunodeficiency virus. And then even more recently,wehave the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome,which is caused by a corona virus,which likelyhas an animal origin. We are at the point in research,which we still are trying to find out whatorigin that is. ”

Other diseases that have emerged from animals over the last five to ten years,he says,include the Nipah and Hendra viruses. These areusually found in bats.

“Probably more familiar to your readers orlisteners will be the H5N1avian influenza,whichin 2003 spread in Southeast Asia. And by 2006was present in over 60 countries and territories,”he said.

The Food and Agriculture Organization iscalling for a holistic approach to meet the growingdisease threat. This involves scientists,researchers and doctors and others from many disciplinesworking together and sharing information.

The report said the holistic approach includesreducing poverty, addressing biological threatsposed by globalization and climate change andbetter safety and health measures in livestock production.

The FAO Chief Veterinary Officer is promoting — what he called — dealing with the diseaseat source. He said that means snuffing out a potential outbreak at a particular location,village ortown before it can spread.

28. How many examples of diseases arementioned in the whole passage?

A. 5. B. 6.

C. 7. D. 8.

29. The last three paragraphs play a role in the whole structure of the passage as______.

A. Recommendation

B. Conclusion

C. Introduction

D. Body

30.We can read this passage on a (an)______.

A. biography

As one of Britain's best known choreographers( 编舞 ) ,Arlene Phillips has had more thanher fair share of dance floor tumbles. But the onethat still leaves her wincing is the memory of aspectacular fall she suffered 44 years ago while filming a television show with Welsh singer Sir TomJones.

“It's the most excruciating pain I've ever endured,”says Arlene,whoin the1970s when she formed racy dance troupe HotGossip and went on to choreograph West Endshows such as Starlight Express and We Will RockYou. “We were filming the Tom Jones show in1967 at Elstree Studios in north London and theproducers wanted me and another performer,Juliet Prowse,to dance on a table in a kind of stagedfight over Tom,” explains the former Strictlyjudge who lives in London with her partner AngusIon.

“There was a point where Juliet was supposed to push me and I had to jump off the tablebut during the final camera rehearsal the jumpthrew me and because of the way I landed I was inagony. Yet nothing was going to stop me from doing the actual show so I dosed myself with painkillers and carried on but it took me a long timeand many visits to all sorts of physiotherapists( 理疗医师) to recover. ”

Back pain affects 80 percent of the UK population at some point in their lives. Contrary to theold belief that bed rest is the best treatment for theailment,official advice now for treating back painis to keep as active as possible and take a coupleof paracetamol when needed. It is an approachArlene,who has daughters Alana,33,and Abi,22,has always followed. “Throughout my careerI've just worked through any injuries. Howeverbad the pain I've always kept going and it's stillthe same today,”she explains.

Arlene also got severe knee pain. “About 20years ago,I started doing more American jazz andthe newly formed rock jazz style of dancing whichinvolved dropping down on to my knees a lot moreand that's when my knee pain first started. Gradually it increased to the point where I stopped running because I thought I was beating my knees todeath. ”

“When I was choreographing,the bendingdown then jumping back up again really began tohurt. I'm a bit obsessive about cleaning and I noticed that when I got on my hands and knees toclean,the pain in my right knee was worse andbecoming increasingly aggravating ( 加重) . ”Arlene soldiered on without seeking professionaltreatment until she attended a dinner party wherea physiotherapist and osteopath were extolling thevirtues of rose hip for their patients' joint pain.She decided to try it herself,with extraordinaryresults.

Even though she turned 70 last May,Arleneis showing no signs of slowing down. She hasbeen busy in her role as chief choreographer inthe hotly anticipated Monty Python comeback thisJuly. “I truly believe that dancing is keeping mevibrant and young,”she says,“My dream is tocarry on dancing until 80 and beyond. As long asmy mind and body are active,the years may go bybut inside I want to feel that spirit. I want to geton with the life I'm enjoying,keep eating healthily and remain as active as I can and look forwardto a positive future. ”

A

At present there are a large number of ways to listen to music. Some music fans still like to use traditional ways. However,the most popular way to listen to music now is by either downloading or streaming.

Since it becomes easier to get connected on the Internet,more MP3s were downloaded and shared. But the sound quality of these MP3s is not so good. However,new generations of music fans have grown accustomed to this cheapened sound quality.

Streaming technology has made it even easier to listen to your favorite music. Unfortunately, streaming is not without its downsides. Because all of the music is provided online,a strong Internet connection is a must. And although it may seem like the Internet is available everywhere, there may be situations where you don't get connected.

Whether you choose to download or stream music,the artist does not make much money. The low payment from downloading and streaming music has also led to the continuing increase in concert ticket prices. And we can only expect these prices to increase greatly in the future.

Much as I would like to have all my music for free,I realize that it will kill the industry I have enjoyed for most of my life. I cannot say for certain which is better — downloading or streaming — but I do know how I can do my little part to help musicians continue making great music. Rather than focus on one or the other, I'm going to continue doing what I have been doing since I first discovered music: listen to it any way I can.

21. What are new groups of music think of MP3s?

A. They mind getting them online.

B. They think little of them.

C. They have no interest in them.

D. They liked this kind of music.

22. The underlined word “downsides ” in Paragraph 3 probably means “___”.

A. disadvantages

B. strengthens

C. connections

D. possibilities

23. What will the author probably do in the future?

A. Help musicians make music.

B. Try to listen to free music.

C. Listen to music in many ways.

D. Stop downloading music.

B

Climate researchers met recently in Cameroon to talk about threats to Africa's land and animals. They said they believe the continent may lose a large number of its animal and plant species by the end of this century. They blame the expected losses on the warming of earth,population growth and unrestricted development.

The researchers represent 20 African,American and European universities. They say countries in south of the Saharan desert are losing forest faster than any place on earth. Wood companies are cutting down trees to meet growing demand from China,Europe and the United States.

The population is growing at 3 percent per year. There are now homes,factories and farms on land that once was forest. Climate change also continues to threaten species.

Thomas Smith is the director of the Center for Tropical Research at the University of California. “With a 1. 5 degree rise in global temperature, Africa may lose 30 percent of its animals and plants. And unfortunately with the increase in CO2that has been now estimated to be up to three degrees in terms of rising global temperatures — that means we may lose 40 percent of all animals in Africa by the end of the century,”said Smith.

The African chimpanzee is one such animal at risk. Mary Katherine Gonder studies chimpanzees in the Congo Basin. She says the forest home is disappearing. She also says hunters continue to kill the animals to sell as food. “What will happen over the next 20 years,the distribution of those chimpanzees will change. Their habitat will change fundamentally and they will no longer be around. The habitat for those chimpanzees will be gone,”said Gonder.

Thomas Smith of the University of California says it's possible to develop Africa and care for the environment at the same time. “With these challenges,we need to develop green economies. For example,we are working with parties here to develop new ways of providing green jobs,for example areas that you can preserve,like forests,and at the same time produce crops that are appropriate for people to sell and to eat. ”said Smith.

24. According to the first paragraph,which is NOT the cause of the expected losses?

A. The earth becomes warm.

B. Population grows quick.

C. Development is not limited.

D. Hunting becomes fierce.

25. Why are countries in south of the Saharan desert losing forest faster than any place on earth?

A. Climate change continues to threaten forests.

B. People there cut trees to make fire.

C. Trees are being cut to satisfy great countries' increasing need.

D. Wood companies want to help China, Europe and the USA.

26. What can we infer from Gonder's words in Paragraph 5?

A. Chimpanzees will be gone in the next 20 years.

B.Chimpanzees' habitat may disappear one day.

C. The forest home of Chimpanzees has already disappeared.

D. The African chimpanzee is one such animal at risk.

27. What's the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. We need to balance nature and people's needs.

B. It's impossible to develop Africa and preserve nature.

C. We are facing a very large number of challenges.

D. It's more important to provide for economic needs.

C

When I first started growing my own fruit and vegetables in containers,I found information about how,when and what to feed plants in containers surprisingly hard to come by. Perhapsthisisn't surprising. Crop nutrition is never going to be a sexy subject. At its best it's a complicated and slightly smelly one. Still,if you want your plants to thrive in containers,you need to put a bit of thought into feeding them. You can dedicate a lifetime to learning about crop nutrition. But I've found a little knowledge can go a long way.

Plants need a mix of nutrients,just as humans need to consume a mix of protein,fat,carbohydrate,minerals and vitamins. They particularly need nitrogen ( N ) for leaf growth,phosphorus ( P) for root growth,and potassium ( K) for fruit growth. All plants need all three,but leafy crops particularly need nitrogen,and fruit crops won't develop well without enough potassium. They also need a wide range of other nutrients,often in tiny quantities. I think of these as the equivalent of the vitamins and minerals we need to keep us healthy. Finally,plants need bacteria and fungi in the soil to break it down and release food to their roots,just as humans need bacteria to digest food in our stomach.

Most compost or growing mixes you can buy in garden centers only contain enough nutrients for six weeks' growth. So for optimum results,you need the right fertilizer ( rich in either nitrogen or potassium) and you need to make sure the plant has enough vitamins and minerals and that there is plenty of soil life in your pots.

28. What does the underlined word “this”in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A. Hard to grow fruit and vegetables in containers.

B. Difficult to find information about growing fruit and vegetables.

C. Difficult to feed fruit and vegetables in containers.

D. Hard to get information about feeding plants in containers.

29. If you want to grow tomatoes,which nutrient will you use more?

A. Nitrogen.

B. Phosphorus.

C. Potassium.

D. Vitamin.

30. According to the writer,which will be needed if you want to get the best results?

a. the right fertilizer

b. enough vitamins and minerals

c. plenty of soil life

d. protein,fat and carbohydrate

A. abc

B. bcd

C. acd

D. abd

31. What's the main purpose of the passage?

A. To tell people most compost in garden centers contains few nutrients.

B. To tell people to dedicate a lifetime to learning about crop nutrition.

C. To tell people all plants need nitrogen, phosphorus,and potassium.

D. To tell people some information about feeding plants in containers.

D

A Robot Fish has been developed by National University of Singapore's researchers from the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering. This robot fish has movements which have been inspired by the movements of the carp ( 鲤鱼) .

There are various purposes that it can be used for. It can help in underwater archaeology. For example,it can enter a sunken city where human divers cannot enter. Just like a fish,it can also look at all the corners of particular wreckage. This robot can also be used for general purposes such as detection of leakages in a pipeline or for laying down communication cables across oceans. It also has possible military uses.

In order to copy carp movements,Mr. Fan studied the movements of the fish for around 3 months. He studied all the different movements of carp using different cameras and then converted these movements mathematically to transfer this data to the robot using many actuators( 驱动器) .

Professor Xu commented on the robot that the current models that copy fish movements are capable only of 2D movements which limits their capability as they are not able to dive into water. He said that his model is the first model with 3D movements which allows it to dive as well as float with the help of its fins,just as a normal fish would do. Hence,this fish model robot has much greater movement capability. It would be much harder for enemies to detect as compared to traditional ones when used for military purposes.

The researchers want to make their robot fish even smaller,more realistic while adding more sensors such as GPS and video camera to it. This will improve its autonomous 3D movement. They are also planning to test the fish by giving it more difficult tasks such as detecting various objects.

32. The author gave an example in Paragraph 2___.

A. to introduce the Robot Fish can help in underwater archaeology

B. to show the Robot Fish can be used for general purposes

C. to show the Robot Fish can lay down communication cables across oceans

D. to tell us the Robot Fish has possible military uses

33. What does the underlined phrase “transferto”in the third paragraph mean?

A. adapt…to…

B. send…to…

C. apply…to…

D. appoint… to…

34. What's the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. The researchers will give the robot more difficult tasks.

B. The researchers want to make their robot smaller.

C. The researchers are going to test the robot.

D. The researchers plan to improve the robot.

35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. First Robot Fish with Autonomous 3D Movement used widely

B. First Robot Fish with Autonomous 3D Movement treading the ocean

C. First Robot Fish with Autonomous 3D Movement created in Singapore

D. First Robot Fish with Autonomous 3D Movement's general purposes

If you are interested in studying at an American university,you have probably heard about the Test of English as a Foreign Language.36It is the most widely used language assessment exam for American universities.

Many foreign students are frightened of the TOEFL because it is risky.37But a low TOEFL score will limit your choices for financial aid and admission to top schools.

38:

A

Ebola made headlines throughout 2014. The virus has existed in parts of Africa for decades, but many Americans only became aware of it after a major outbreak in late 2013.

Ebola gets its name from the Ebola River,in the Democratic Republic of the Congo,where the disease was first reported in 1976. Its early symptoms are similar to those of other illnesses,but Ebola can worsen quickly and turn deadly.

The virus spreads through direct contact with the bodily fluids of the infected people. West Africa is experiencing the most severe Ebola outbreak on record. It began in December 2013. As of December 6,this outbreak has resulted in more than 6,000 deaths,according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Currently,Guinea, Liberia,and Sierra Leone are the countries with the most Ebola cases.

The hardest-hit areas are trying extreme measures to contain the spread of Ebola. Sierra Leone ordered its 6 million residents ( 居民 ) to stay indoors for three days. During this lockdown, 30,000 health-care workers and volunteers went door to door to teach people about the disease, and to look for possible cases. Officials called the lockdown a success,but it was not a solution.

The outbreak of Ebola tested the world's ability to respond to pandemic disease ( 流行病) . It was a difficult task,but the group of doctors,nurses,and other responders who fought tirelessly to battle the virus proved themselves heroic and selfless in their mission. The Ebola fighters have put their own lives at risk. Some contracted the disease themselves,in their efforts to take care of sick patients and stop the virus from spreading.

“If someone from America comes to help my people,and someone from Uganda,” says Iris Martor,a Liberian nurse,“then why can't I?” Foday Gallah,an ambulance driver who survived infection,calls his immunity a holy gift. “I want to give my blood so a lot of people can be saved,” he says. “I am going to fight Ebola with all of my might. ”

“The rest of the world can sleep at night because a group of men and women are willing to stand and fight,”wrote TIME's Managing Editor Nancy Gibbs.

As we all know,the ocean holds more than 97% of the water on earth. Through its role in the water and carbon cycles,the ocean is a major contributor( 促成因素) to many of earth's processes.It hosts some of our planet's most diverse ecosystems.

Now global warming and resulting climate change have a strong impact on those ocean ecosystems and the marine wildlife living there. Regional climate changes have resulted in increased numbers of natural disasters such as storms,floods,and droughts,which affect wild animals' migration,nesting,and hibernation activities,as well as the availability( 可利用性) of regular food sources.

Meanwhile,rising water temperatures, sea levels,and ocean acidity( 酸度) are affecting the coastal habitats and the animals that live in or near them,including polar bears,whales,seals, fish,penguins,turtles,and humans.

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC ) recently released a large-scale study focusing on climate change. The new report demonstrates just how wide-ranging the effects of a warming world will be. “We have assessed impacts as they are happening in natural and human systems on all continents and oceans,” said Rajendra Pachauri of the IPCC. “No one on this planet will be untouched by climate change. ”

According to the study,glaciers will continue to shrink ( 收缩) as the climate warms. Species on land and in the sea are shifting their range in response to warming,and some will face an increased risk of extinction. Health impacts will be felt from heat waves and from floods in low-lying areas. The seas will continue to become more acidic,destroying coral reefs.

25.The second paragraph is mainly about_____.

A. the important function of the ocean

B. the necessity of protection the ocean

C. the consequences of global warming

D. animals affected by changing weather

26. Which of the following may cause animals to change their habitat?

B. Constant melting snow.

C. Volcanic eruption.

D. Tourists making noise.

A. Everyone will be affected by climate change.

B. The effects of climate change will last forever.

C. Marine animals are probably the most effected.

D. Most of animals will suffer from global warming.

28. What will probably happen if global warming continues?

A. There will be more sea plants.

B. There will be too many floods.

C. Land animals will die out soon.

D. The oceans will get more acidic.

C

There's good news for people hoping that Earth is not the only inhabited world in the universe. A team of astronomers announced on January 6 that they have identified eight planets beyond our solar system. The scientists say three or four of those planets orbit in their stars'“Goldilocks Zone ”—the region where temperatures are not too hot and not too cold for water to exist in liquid form. Water is a necessary ingredient for life as we know it.

The scientists,led by Dr. Guillermo Torres of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics,made the discoveries using data collected by the planet-seeking Kepler telescope.

NASA launched Kepler in 2009. Since then, the telescope has identified more than 1,000 planets outside of our solar system. Torres and his team analyzed the data about the eight newly discovered worlds to determine which ones are most likely to be similar to the earth.

Among the new discoveries,the scientists say the planets called Kepler 438b and 442b are the closest to the earth. Kepler 438b is just about 10% larger than our planet,and gets 40% more of its energy from its star than the earth receives from the Sun. Temperatures there would be about 140 degrees. Kepler 442b is about 33% larger than the earth,but receives 30% less energy from its star. That would make it a potentially colder world than our own.

Torres says it is possible for life to exist and survive in either of those temperatures. But for that to happen,these planets would need to have another key ingredient for life: a heat-trapping atmosphere like Earth's.

While these findings add to the possibility that life exists beyond the earth,Torres cautions against drawing conclusions. “We're not claiming they're inhabited,”he says. In fact,these planets are so far away that scientists cannot observe them directly. For now, it remains unknown whether these planets contain life. But the discovery of planets in their stars' habitable zones suggests that somewhere out there,some form of alien life may exist.

29. Kepler was launched for the purpose of.

A. studying the temperatures of planets

B. analyzing the data about 1,000 planets

C. discovering planets beyond the solar system

D. collecting information about the solar system

30. What do we know about Kepler 438b and 442b?

A. They are almost as large as the earth.

B. They are similar to Earth in some ways.

C. They are likely to be much colder than the earth.

D. They receive as much energy from the star as the earth.

31. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that____.

A. scientists can observe more planets now

B. some form of alien life does exist in space

C. scientists don't announce what they have discovered

D. it is still unknown whether life exists on other planets

32. Which would be the best title of the text?

A. Are We Alone?

B. New Planets in Outer Space

C. There Are Alien Beyond the Earth

D. Importance Discovery in Astronomy

“If thankfulness were a drug,it would be the world's best-selling product with a health maintenance ( 养生 ) indication,” said Dr. P. Murali Doraiswamy,head of the department of biologic psychology at Duke University Medical Center.

“While the act of being thankful is not a substitute for a proper medical diagnosis ( 诊断) and treatment”,Doraiswamy said,“it's certainly a strategy that can be used to improve wellness”.

Studies had shown measurable effects on multiple body and brain systems, said Doraiswamy.

“When my friends ask me why gratitude is beneficial,I tell them that humans have something called a negativity bias ( 消极偏见) where ‘bad stuff’in our life outweighs the good by a measure of about 3: 1,”Renee Jain,an expert of positive psychology,wrote in an email.

“This bias developed over millions of years help us survive threats in our environment,”said Jain. “Fortunately,we no longer have to worry about tigers attacking us on the way to work. Unfortunately,we still have this bias,which have negative effects on our lives. ”

The brain's fundamental organizing principle in life is to avoid threat and maximize rewards, said Mitch Wasden, CEO of Ochsner Medical Center in Baton Rouge. “The brain's primary reward chemical is called dopamine,” continued Wasden. “The interesting thing,however,is that we can't feel rewards and threats unless we focus attention on them. Many good and bad things happen in our life every day,but until they come to our own attention,we don't get the neurotransmitter( 神经传递素 ) release that allows us to feel good or bad. ”

“Gratitude helps us counteract the negativity bias by focusing our attention on the ‘good stuff,'”Jain said. “A little focus can go a long way to improving one's psychological,social,and physical health. ”

33. According to Doraiswamy,the thankfulness____.

A. benefits us physically and mentally

B. can take the place of medical treatment

C. just likes a medicine

D. is the best-selling product benefiting patients

34. Renee Jain seems to believe that the negativity bias helped human beings____.

A. to adapt to the environment

B. to be aware of threats nearby

C. to feel hopeless with the future

D. to live in harmony with animals

35. Why don't we feel good after many good things happen in our life?

A. We don't concentrate our attention on them.

B. We have too many things to attend in a day.

C. There are more bad things than good things.

D. Our body lacks a chemical called dopamine.

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。

Here are some tips for having a very productive 90-min period:

36 — Instead of doing a bunch of random actions,pick one clear theme for the block. This allows your brain to load in a single context and stick with it,which makes you more efficient. Your theme may be a project you're working on,a type of work like catching up on correspondence,or anything that lets your brain load in one clear context and stick with it.

Define the finish line — See your focus block as a fast dash to the finish line. But where is the finish line? Having a clear goal that's only 90 minutes away will help you focus.37It's there to help you focus,so aim for it,but accept that sometimes you'll miss.

38 — List the specific actions you'll take during this block. For some blocks this is really helpful. For others it may not be necessary if the steps are already clear. I wouldn't list out my action steps for writing a new article since that process is very familiar to me,but I'd list brainstorm and list steps for an unfamiliar new project to make it easier to get started.

Ensure zero interruptions — Do whatever it takes to ensure that you will not be interrupted under any circumstances during your focus block. If necessary,tell people in advance that you will not be available for the next 90 minutes.39Lock your door if you can. You'll be much more productive and your focus will be deeper if you know for certain that you won't be interrupted.

Work fast — Think fast. Move fast. Work fast.40Imagine that you're in a race,and you have to maintain a strong pace for the full 90 minutes. After that you can rest. With practice this gets easier.

A. Pick one theme.

B. Focus on your goals.

C. List the action steps.

D.If you catch yourself going slow, speed up!

E. Let them know that you will be available after that.

F. Don't push yourself too hard even if there is a lot to do.

As we all know it,a lot of Chinese parents have high expectations for their children,hope they will stand out among other teenagers and be admitted into famous universities. That is why they always give them so much homework every day. Many parents consider it great glory for their children to enter a famous university.

However,doing too much homework without having time to relax was harmful. A great many students are under pressure. So they feel too nervous to sleep well but even have no appetite for food after exams. That phenomenon is worth of attention.

I hope parents don't push their children too hard. Children have different talent and not everybody is good at learning. What is important is that children are interesting in their lessons and find pleasure in learning.

41. B。由“杰里在他70岁的时候取得了学士学位”可知,追求梦想永远都不会太晚 ( late) 。

42. D。杰里对于弗吉尼亚大学的热爱开始于( began) 1963年,也就是他从高中辍学之后。

43. A。虽然在年青时代,他经常在周末去弗吉尼亚大学找朋友玩,但是,他从没( never) 申请上大学。

44. C。尽管杰里曾经从事过多种职业,但是他始 终没有忘 记进入大 学这个梦 想 ( dream) 。

45. B。因为杰里仍然心存大学的梦想,所以他在一个社区学习大学课程,由此判断出前后的逻辑关系是因果关系,故填So。

46. D。杰里在社区大学学习是为了申请 ( apply for) 弗吉尼亚大学的学士学位。

47. A。由下一句可知,杰里实现了自己的梦想,可见“弗吉尼亚大学接受( accepted) 了他的申请”。

48. C。由下文可知,杰里在2011年的春天第一次走在校园的时候,他觉得一切都是令人惊异的。故选择C项。

49. B。习惯用语have no idea“不知道”。 句意为: 他不知道自己将会踏上一个怎样的奇幻之旅。

50. D。“在大学里我有机会( opportunity) 去做一切我想要做的事情。”have opportunity to do sth. “有机会做某事”。

51 . A。available“可得到的,可利用的”; familiar“熟悉的 ”; accessible“易接近的,可进入的”; acceptable“可接受的”,由句意可 知选A。

60. C。前文讲述了杰里在老年时读大学的经历,因此本空填how old。“无论你的年龄有多大,世界总是 在你面前,而不是在 你身后。”

第二节语法填空

61. grew。考查谓语动词。本段讲述美国著名歌手Taylor Swift的人生经历,故应用一般过去时,因此填grew。

62. As。考查介词。短语as a child“在她小时候”,因此填介词As。

66. how。考查疑问词 + 动词不定式。

67. that / which。考查定语从句。 本空到句末为定语从句,从句缺少主语,故填关系代词that / which。

第一节短文改错

1. 第一句中去掉it。As we all know为非限制性定语从句,关系代词As指代主句的内容。 代词it多余,应去掉。

2. 第一句中逗号后为现在分词短语做状语,因此把hope改为hoping。

3. 第二句中应把so改为too,本题考查副词。

4. 第三句中应在great glory前加a。

5. 第四句中was改为is。整篇为一般现在时,故应用is。

6. 第六句中but改为and。上下句之间为并列关系。

7. 第六句中after改为before。由句意可知应在考试前。

8.“be worth + 名词”和be worthy of意为 “值得”,因此在第七句中去掉of或把worth改为worthy。

9. different后的名词应用复数形式,因此把第九句中的talent改为talents。

10. 考查固定词组。词组be interested in “( 某人) 对……感兴趣”。因此把第十句中的interesting改为interested。

第二节书面表达

One possible version:

Some parents provide their children with GPS-equipped wristwatches beforegoingto school,through which they can learn what is happening to their children at school. This issue has aroused widespread concern about whether parents have right to monitor teachers and students in class.

高考英语试题 篇11

总体特点

1. 注重基础，重点突出。这一点在语法和词汇知识部分的考查上体现得尤其明显。在注重考查考生基础知识的同时，突出考查了英语学习中的重点，加大了对重要知识点如名词性从句、时态等的考查力度。

2.材料新颖，贴近生活。这一点主要体现在完形填空、阅读理解和阅读表达的选材上。今年的英语试题共选用了六篇阅读材料，文章体裁题材多样，话题新颖，语言特色鲜明，原汁原味，文中很多句子含义深刻，耐人寻味。同时，文章的主题贴近生活，为考生所熟悉，尤其是阅读表达题，其文章提出了人们对手机短信上瘾的原因、症状以及解决办法。在人们越来越依赖手机的当今社会，此文在考查考生语言水平的同时，对考生也有一定的教育意义。

3.阅读总量控制合理，超纲词汇处理得当。今年高考英语山东卷的阅读总量保持相对稳定，对于超纲词汇的处理也非常得当。整套试题中出现的超纲词汇数量很少，并对可能影响考生理解的词汇都给出了汉语释义，同时试题也保留了不影响考生理解与答题的个别超纲词汇，如sentiment、recall等。至于试题中还有一些词汇，如cruelty、severely、financial等，虽未出现在高中英语新课程标准词汇表内，但都是其规定词汇的派生词，不能算做超纲词。

4. 稳中求变，亮点突出。今年的英语试题在选材与难度控制上与往年一样保持了相对稳定，但在各个题型上从选材、设题等方面进行了优化和一定程度的创新。

下面结合真题，分题型逐一进行分析。

题型分析

听力

2011年高考英语山东卷的听力部分继续采用全国卷I的听力试题，考查考生在听懂对话或独白的基础上对题目所给的选项进行判断选择。该部分题型稳定，难度略有提升。试题中交际情景真实，选材内容丰富，能够充分利用听力材料设置问题；题目设计形式多样，考查考生获取信息、判断推理、归纳主旨大意、理解作者意图等能力；选材情景真实，难易比例比较合理。值得注意的是，在本次听力的最后一题，有关身体状况的情景对话中，山东卷考查了dream (做梦)的生理现象。这与考生通常理解的“梦想”的意思有所区别，需要考生格外注意。(编者注：此部分具体的试题解析请参阅本刊2011年11月号《2011年高考英语全国卷I听力题评析》一文。)

语法和词汇知识

该部分仅15小题，但却覆盖了中学英语里大部分的基础语法项目，如定语从句(32)、名词性从句(26、33)、状语从句(28)、时态(31、35)、非谓语动词(27)、冠词(21)、代词(24)、介词(30)、并列句(23)、交际英语(22、29)等。试题注重语言知识在特定语境中的运用，题干简洁，设问符合语言交际命题原则，较好地考查了在相对真实的情境下考生的语言知识综合运用能力。该部分在注重考查基础知识的同时，加大了对重要知识点如从句、时态等的考查力度，但对词汇的考查较往年有所弱化。往年考查词汇的题目一般为四个：名词、动词、动词短语各考一题，形容词和副词选考一题；今年考查词汇的题目仅有第25题(考查动词短语)和第34题(考查名词)。

下面来看几道难度较大的题。

26. I'm afraid he's more of a talker than a doer, which is _____ he never finishes anything.

A. that B. when

C. where D. why

【解析】本题考查名词性从句中的表语从句的用法。前句说“恐怕他是个说得多做得少的人”，表语从句说“他一事无成”，由此判断表语从句同上文为因果关系，所以选择连接副词why引导表语从句，正确答案为D。

32. The old town has narrow streets and small houses _____ are built close to each other.

A. theyB. where C. whatD. that

【解析】本题考查定语从句中关系代词的用法。空格前有名词，而其后的句子又不完整，缺少主语，故不可能考查名词性从句，排除C项。此题考查定语从句，空格之后的定语从句中缺少主语，故需选择引导定语从句的关系代词。A项不能引导定语从句，B项是关系副词，故正确答案为D。

29. —Are you going to Tom's birthday party?

—_____. I might have to work.

A. It dependsB. Thank you

C. Sound greatD. Don't mention it

【解析】本题考查日常交际用语。第一句说“你打算去参加汤姆的生日聚会吗？” 第二句说“我或许得上班”。 A项“视情况而定” ；B项“谢谢”； C项“听起来是个好主意”；D项“别客气”。根据题意，正确答案为A。

35. She was surprised to find the fridge empty; the children _____ everything!

A. had been eatingB. had eaten

C. have eatenD. have been eating

【解析】本题考查时态。题干的意思是：“她很惊讶地发现冰箱空了，孩子们吃光了里面的所有食物。”依题意可知，“孩子们吃光食物”在前，空格处所填的动词动作应先于was surprised发生，所以应填入过去完成时，排除C、D两项。A项过去完成进行时表示动作还未完成，故排除。所以正确答案为B。

完形填空

今年的完形填空没有继续采用“夹叙夹议”的文章，而用了一篇结构完整、语言生动的记叙文，更注重语言的地道性，并没有刻意去追求“哲理”和“教育意义”，整体难度有所降低。

在这篇文章里，作者为我们绘声绘色地描述了他跟着哥哥第一次去看一个摇滚乐队的演唱会时的情景和他的现场感受。文章多为现场的细节描写及人物的心理活动，这就要求考生尽可能还原故事场景，结合所学知识做出正确选择。此外，这篇完形填空的选项词汇较为容易，除了如53、55等题外，其余词汇均为常见常用的简单词汇，秉承了山东卷一贯倡导的“稳中有变、不偏不怪”的命题思路。

另外，今年山东卷的完形填空题还有一个特点，即很多空格不读到最后是无法选择的。这也给广大考生一个很重要的启示：要做好完形填空，必须整体把握，联系上下文，充分利用上下文语境所提供的线索。上下文语境包括选项与空格所在句子中的语义联系、空格所在句与周围句群的关系、空格所在句在本段中所起的作用、空格所在句在整篇短文中所起的作用以及其与文章主题思想的关系等。例如：

My brother and his friends were all36 of a heavy metal group called Black Wednesday.

A. membersB. friends

C. fans D. volunteers

【解析】这是文章中的第二句话。文章第一句话“I first went to hear a live rock concert when I was eight years old.”并未交代作者的哥哥与一个叫做“黑色星期三”的重金属摇滚乐队是什么关系，因此解答此题时需联系下文。从下文“去看摇滚音乐会”以及最后一段“After the 53 (performance), I became a Black Wednesday fan too for a few years before getting into other kinds of music.”可知，我哥哥和他的朋友都是“黑色星期三”乐队的“粉丝(fans)”。正确答案为C。

I could barely make out the stage in the 43.

A. silenceB. noise

C. darkness D. smoke

【解析】如果仅看此句，很难选出正确答案，因为四个选项从语法上都说得过去，后三个从常理上也说得通。联系上文“After a few minutes, the lights went down and everybody became 42 (quiet).”可知，“我”几乎辨认不出舞台在哪儿，是因为“灯灭了”，眼前一片黑暗。正确答案为C。

阅读理解

今年的阅读理解不再过多地注重形式，而是尝试使用了一些新题型。例如，以往几乎每年都有一个猜词题，今年却没有，而是因材设题，根据短文的具体情况采用了一些诸如事实排序、最佳标题、主旨大意等往年试题中较少出现的提问方式。

A篇是一篇人物传记，讲述了剧作家阿瑟·米勒(Arthur Miller)的生平经历和他的代表作《推销员之死》(Death of a Salesman)的内容及评价。其中有三道问题(57、58、59)是对该剧内容进行发问的，涉及文章的第二、三段，这三道题也是该篇文章比较有难度的问题。文章第二段首句作者就说明《推销员之死》是抨击美国社会制度的剧作，with所附加的内容解释这个制度错误的价值观，由此我们可以推测剧情应该是在这个制度下发生的悲剧故事。同时，第二段中冒号后的内容以及引号强调的词组支持了这个推测。在这篇文章中，每段的首尾句都给出了很明显的解题线索。例如第58题：

58. What can we learn about Willy Loman?

A. He treats his employer badly.

B. He runs the Wagner Company.

C. He is a victim of the American system.

D. He is regarded as a hero by his colleagues.

【解析】这是一道推理判断题。从上文介绍的情节中得知Willy Loman是戏剧中的一个角色，而这个角色因为在这个制度中屡遭失败而自杀身亡，因此推断他是美国社会制度的受害者和牺牲品。正确答案为C。

B篇是一篇记叙文，难度不高，叙述了Richter夫妇从接触一个名为Imagination Library的项目到成立自己的基金会的历程。除了最后一道推断题外，其他问题都可以在原文中直接找到答案。该篇记叙文每一段都有一个比较明显的时间表述，从1998年Richter先生动心脏手术，到术后不久接触到Imagination Library的宣传册决定退休后从事这样的工作，五年后退休了的两人着手建立基金会，并考察图书的质量，到2004年以后送出了超过12200本书到其他国家。文章的最后一句，Richter先生描述了自身的体会，同时也点明了文章的主旨：“Some people sit there and wait to die, others get as busy as they can in the time they have left. (有些人坐着等死，有些人却在他们剩余的时光中让自己尽可能忙碌)”。只要认清这一主旨，第65题就迎刃而解。

65. What can we learn from Tim's words in the last paragraph?

A. He needs more money to help the children.

B. He wonders why some people are so busy.

C. He tries to save those waiting to die.

D. He considers his efforts worthwhile.

【解析】这是一道推理判断题。Tim认为人不应该无所事事等待死神的到来，而应该好好利用晚年的时光，使自己忙碌起来，对社会做出应有的贡献，他也正是这样做的。由此看出，四个选项中D项(认为自己的努力很值得)最能表达此意。

C篇是一篇说明文。从文中的两个中文提示“贷款”和“学费”来看，这很可能是一篇与“助学贷款”相关的文章。细读文章可知，随着失业人员增加，很多家庭已经无力供孩子上大学，由于无利可图，很多商业银行也终止了相关的贷款。不过政府的资金资助项目仍在进行，这无疑对那些资金紧张而又想让孩子上大学的中产阶级家庭是个福音。比较有难度的是第70题：

70. According to the last paragraph, the government will ______.

A. provide most students with scholarships

B. dismiss some financial aid administrators

C. stop the companies from making student loans

D. go on providing financial support for college students

【解析】这是一道细节理解题，解题关键在于读懂最后一段最后一句的一个词uninterrupted，是“不中断”的意思，虽然financial aid administrators发放学生贷款面临困难，但是政府认为federal loans不应被中断。即使考生不懂uninterrupted一词，也可以从however一词推断两者应为转折关系，故正确答案为D，即“政府将继续向大学生提供资金援助(go on providing financial support for college students)”。

D篇是一篇科技说明文，说明的对象是BCI，即脑机接口技术。文章首段开门见山地点明了BCI的作用是“help people with disabilities send commands to machines”，即帮助残疾人向机器输送指令。之后就BCI的该项功能展开，包括BCI的实验、原理、程序和目的等。文章内容新颖，涉及现在比较前沿的科技动态，引导考生关注社会，关注生活。其中第73题是排序题，比较新颖。

73. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?

A. scalp→computer→cap→wheelchair

B. computer→cap→scalp→wheelchair

C. scalp→cap→computer→wheelchair

D. cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair

【解析】这是一道排列顺序题。由第五段可知，信号从the scalp发出，然后被a special cap接收，接着传到了a computer，然后传到wheelchair。正确答案为C。

阅读表达

阅读表达题是今年整套试题的一大亮点。首先，从选材上看，“手机短信上瘾”这一题材主题鲜明，语言地道，话题时代感强，有较强的现实意义。其次，题目设置上舍弃了“同义语句替换”和“翻译句子”等题目，在一定程度上降低了难度。往年的同义语句替换题考生往往是要么得3分，要么得0分，而今年这些题目换了设问方式，根据考生的作答与参考答案的接近程度给分。再次，从分值的分配情况看，不再是每小题统一计分，而是根据题目的思维量与作答量分别赋予了不同的分值。如第76题难度不大，计2分；第79题难度相对较大，因此计4分。这种做法有利于区分不同层次的考生。例如：

76. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? (no more than 5 words)

【解析】由文章第一段很容易看出，作者是通过提出问题的方式引入话题的(By asking/raising questions)。

79. What do experts say about text addiction? (no more than 14 words)

【解析】文章第二段“Experts warn that text addiction is likely to become the most common form of addiction in the future, especially among the young.”就是本题的答案，但是词数超出要求，需要考生浓缩提炼：“It may become the most common form of addiction, especially among the young.”

今年的写作题中规中矩，波澜不惊，要求考生以电子邮件形式写一封120~150词的求助信，这已是山东卷连续第五年考查书信体裁的写作题。看似平淡无奇，缺乏新意，但是熟悉高考命题的考生应该知道，在高考英语写作中，文章的体裁和格式不是考查的重点，重点是考查考生应用英语解决实际问题的能力。对于这样一封求助信，题目只给出了三条简单的内容提纲，并没有过多细节，这就要求考生们能够联系生活实际、充分发挥合理想象力来完成一篇字数有限制而又言之有物的文章。

写求助信通常由三个步骤组成：①说明自己要做什么事，即背景介绍；②说明自己遇到了怎样“具体的困难”；③希望对方“如何帮助你”。就今年的高考写作而言，考生应该首先说明自己正在为一个比赛做着怎样的准备，即准备到了哪个阶段，然后应该说明在这个过程中遇到了怎样具体的困难，最后表明希望对方如何帮助你。这样一来，考生的作文既可以达到字数的要求，又合情合理，符合实际生活，考生得到一个满意的分数就变得顺理成章。(编者注：今年的山东卷高考写作题和全国卷I写作题非常类似，同样的书信体格式，题干中都给出了三个要点提示，且内容都是“描述自己的情况并寻求帮助”。具体讲解和参考范文可参阅本刊11月号《2011年高考英语全国卷I试题评析》中的“书面表达”部分。)

总之，2011年的山东省高考英语试题保持了一贯的稳定特色，难度与往年趋同，与此同时，很多细节处都体现出了课改之后的创新尝试，值得明年参加高考的考生认真研读体会。

Winters are long and unforgiving in North Dakota. The winter of 1996 was especially brutal.It was a difficult time in my own life too. A neck injury had kept me flat in bed for nearly a year.“Just in time for Easter, ”my husband, Dick, said.But how could I feel the joy when the snow was four feet deep and I had months of painful physical treatment ahead?

I was doing the dishes one day, feeling hopeless when there was a tap against the glass. It was a branch of the troublesome cottonwood (棉白杨) .Back in the fall of 1979, it was a new subdivision (细枝) then. The people whod briefly occupied the house before us had placed the pipe from the pump next to it. The earth was so wet that the poor thing had fallen down, most of its bare root system pointing skyward, blowing hopelessly back and forth in the cold wind. Dick decided to pull it out one day, but I protested.

“Look at how hard its trying!”I said, pointing to the way it strongly kept hold of the earth.“It deserves a chance.”

Dick borrowed some tools. We packed dry soil around the tree and put up some stakes (桩) into the ground, making it stand upright. That winter was still terrible. Surprisingly, in the spring my“rescue stick”put forth a few leaves, then with lots of branches. By the 1990s that little stick was a giant, towering over the house.

Now the tapping at the window continued, louder as the wind picked up, almost as though to tell me to look up. At last, I did. I caught my breath. In the window against the icy blue sky, thousands and thousands of fresh red buds were waving in the wind.

The tree was bursting with life and I had a wonderful Easter.

24. What is the meaning of the underlined word“brutal”in Paragraph 1?

A.Busy.B.Hard.

C.Long.D.Warm.

25.How did Dick rescue the new subdivision?

A.By supporting the stick firmly.

B. By watering the stick regularly.

C.By distributing chemical fertilizer.

D.By lighting the stick day and night.

26. The author writes the last paragraph mainly to________.

A. inform us of the current condition of his cottonwood

B. imply that hed spent the hardest time and felt hopeful

C. tell us that the tree had survived from the awful winter

D. suggest what he was going to do for the coming festival

27. Which of the following can serve as the main idea of the passage?

A.A friend in need is a friend indeed.

B.There is no garden without its weeds.

C.Success is the accumulation of sweat.

D.While there is life, there is hope.

Animal lovers know that we communicate with our pets on some level, especially when they are family members. Dogs and many other animals understand very well verbal ( 言语的) signals to heel, fetch, sit, but that sort of communication can feel one- sided, as if our pets understand us better than we understand them. For a deeper communication with animals, we should learn to listen and speak their language.

Animals communicate with each other, and us, on many different levels. They use a combination of smell, sounds, and body language to express themselves. Most of us know that when a dog stretches his front legs out and lowers his body, its an invitation to play.

To understand what your pet is trying to tell you, start by observing and noticing what your pet is paying attention to. We know when they go to their food dish that theyre probably hungry or if they go to a door, they probably want out. Notice your pets facial expressions when you are talking to them. Animals are capable of conveying many emotions. Learn to know when they look happy, sad, bored.

Try talking to your animals non-verbally, as well as with words. Direct a simple question to them in your mind, and then wait quietly and patiently for an answer. Allow the first thing that comes into your mind to be verbalized to you, and then see what your pets reaction is. You might be surprised at their facial or verbal answer.

Allow animals their space. If you sense they dont feel like talking, leave them alone. Theyll come to you more often, if you respect their need for privacy. Listen and talk to your pets and theyll listen and talk to you.

28.What can we infer from Paragraph 1?

A. Dogs and many other animals share the same language.

B. Common languages contribute to a better understanding.

C. Humans could communicate with animals without disabilities.

D. Animals often use verbal signals to communicate with each other.

29. What will a dog do if it wants to go out according to the text?

A. It will make special facial expressions.

B.It will walk towards the door of the house.

C.It will go to find its food dish itself.

D. It will stretch front legs out and lower its body.

30. We can conclude from the fourth paragraph that animals________.

A.should be respected with private space

B.should be talked to quietly and patiently

C.can understand us by reading our eyes

D.can answer a simple question with words

31. The best title for the text would be________.

A. how to communicate with animals

B.how to learn and speak animal language

C.difference between humans and animals

D.meanings of body language animals use

D

It may not come as a surprise but the world as a whole is getting richer. Recent data has shown that the number of people living in extreme poverty has halved in recent decades. So should we celebrate the fact?

Maybe not. While the gap between the rich and the poor in some countries is narrowing, there is still a lot of inequality in other places—some people have a lot of money and opportunities and others dont. A recent report by Oxfam and Credit Suisse revealed how divided many of us are when it comes to wealth. A lot of the money in the world is in the hands of very few people. In fact, 48% of global wealth is owned by the richest 1% of the population.

But some countries are attempting to reduce this inequality and make the poor less poor.According to David Bryer from Oxfam, Brazil has been taking“some really sensible measures—measures around having more progressive tax, around investing in a higher minimum wage and investing in central public services”. Having a higher minimum wage can help people eat better and receive a better education. And more people with more money buy more things—and factories can produce more. In turn, a factory which produces more will need more workers. So, more jobs are created.

Other wealthy individuals are doing their best to help reduce inequality. Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft, earned a lot of money from his company but when he retired, he and his wife Melinda, created a foundation to help the poor.He thinks that rich people should all bephilanthropicand take out some wealth to help the poorest both at home and abroad.

Bill Gates feels that giving money to help poor people is“fulfilling”. But other super- rich people don t want to experience this fulfillment, according to Oxfam.

32. According to a recent report by Oxfam and Credit Suisse, ________.

A. the gap between the rich and the poor is widening gradually

B. increased wealth helps people to reduce the inequality

C. people should be happy about the worlds getting richer

D. a small number of people possess the major world wealth

33. What s the author s attitude towards Brazils measures?

A.Cautious. B.Approving.

C.Doubtful. D.Critical.

34. What is the meaning of the underlined word“philanthropic”in Paragraph 4?

A.Broadminded. B.Responsible.

C.Realistic. D.Merciful.

35. The author develops the article mainly by________.

A. comparing opinions from different fields

B. listing detailed numbers and analyzing them

C. presenting a trend and analyzing its cause and effect

D. presenting research findings and giving some examples

2016年高考英语模拟试题 (一)

第一部分听力 (略)

第二部分阅读理解

第一节

A

【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文阅读, 介绍了几条与孩子的活动相关的广告。

21. B。细节理解题。根据Family Art Fun in the Gardens中的“2pm-3.30pm”可知, 只有B项符合题意。

22. D。细节理解题。根据全文, 只有Nature Trail Discovery这项活动在星期三开展, 其他几项活动都在星期二开展。

23. B。推理判断题。根据各个项目的要求可知, 参加者至少都要求在3岁以上。根据文章内容可知, 其他三项都不符合题意。

B

【语篇导读】疾病、寒冷使作者无心过节, 觉得生活看不到希望。但是, 寒风夹带着树枝敲打着窗户, 使作者想起了这棵棉白杨成长的过程。棉白杨成长的过程让作者看到了生活的希望, 度过了一个快乐的复活节。

24. B。词义推断题。根据第一段中的“It was a difficult time in my own life too.”可知, 作者当时的生活很“困难 (hard) ”。

25. A。细节理解题。文章的第四段谈到了援救的措施:作者的丈夫借来工具之后, 先是给细枝培土, 然后再打桩加固。

26. B。推理判断题。通读全文可知, 作者正经历着一个难熬的冬天, 因疾病缠身, 心灰意冷。但偶然间, 她看到了昔日栽下的小树枝竟变成了生机盎然的棉白杨, 心中自然充满了力量。故作者是在用棉白杨来象征自己, 暗示作者已经度过了最难熬的时光, 对生活重新燃起了希望。

27. D。主旨大意题。作者使用的是象征的手法, 文章中的棉白杨在逆境中生长, 从小树枝变成大树, 经历寒冬后仍能焕发出盎然的生机。由此使作者对生活重新充满了希望, 因此全文传递出“While there is life, there is hope.”的信息, 故答案选D。

C

【语篇导读】人类可以在一定程度上理解动物, 但是深入的交流就需要人类能听懂和使用其语言了。应观察他们的行为和脸部表情, 用语言的和非语言的方式与它们交流, 还应给它们留下私密的空间, 只有这样才能更好地理解它们。

28. B。推理判断题。第一段中谈到, 动物能很好地利用言语手势来理解人类, 但是人类却不能更好地理解动物。要想深入地与动物交流, 我们就必须学会动物的语言。可见, 共同的语言有助于更深地理解对方。

29. B。细节理解题。根据第三段中的“... if they go to a door, they probably want out.”可知答案选B。

30. C。推理判断题。倒数第二段提到, 与动物交流既要有语言的也要有非语言的。当把脑海中一个简单的问题引导给它们时, 还需要静静地、耐心地等待答案。把脑海中想到的第一个问题转换成你能理解的语言, 然后去观看动物的反应, 你就会对他们的面部表情的变化或者言语方面的回答感到惊奇。从上面可以看出, 作者一直没有提到把问题变成语言说给动物听, 只是引导, 这个引导指代的就是“眼神”, 可见作者认为动物是能读懂我们的眼神的。

31. A。主旨大意题。通读全文可知, 文章谈到的就是怎样与动物交流的问题, 因此A项最能概括文章的主旨大意。

D

【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文, 主要论述了怎样应对贫富差距日益扩大带来的不平等以及对其的应对措施。

32. D。细节理解题。由第二段中的“A lot of the money in the world is in the hands of very few people.”可知, 世界上的大量财富掌握在极少数人的手中, 故D正确。

33. B。推理判断题。根据第三段中的“some really sensible measures”“help people eat better and receive a better education”可知, 作者对巴西采取的措施是持赞成态度的。

34. D。词义推断题。根据画线词后的“and take out some wealth to help the poorest both at home and abroad”和下文的“Bill Gates feels that giving money to help poor people is‘fulfilling’.”可知, 画线词的意思应为“慈善的”, 同D项的Merciful意思相近。

35. D。推理判断题。通读全文可知, 文章明显是采用了介绍研究结果并列举实例的写作手法, 故选D。

第二节

【语篇导读】本文是一篇指导性说明文, 就怎样写作新闻性文章给出了一些建议。

36. E。文章第一句指出了写作新闻性文章与写作其他文章或者信息性文章是有差别的, 故下文应指出两者的具体不同之处, 此处应填写细节句。E项中的unlike与上文中的different形成照应, 而news articles是对前句中的a news article的同义复现。

37. G。选项中的list与本段首句中的make a list形成照应;选项中的helps与最后一句中的also help也形成照应。

38. D。本段主要写的是文章开篇句的使用问题。首句指出要使用the lead (主题句) , 空格后的句子中出现了the leading statement, 故选项D中的A leading sentence能够连接上下文。

39. C。本段阐述的是写出全部重要细节的问题。C项中的what, where, when, who and why说明了应写出的细节, 且其中的basics和下句中的these details形成了照应。

40. A。下文中的“check all the facts”“Writing accurately”表明本段阐述的主要问题是在结束文章前应核实信息, 故答案为A。

59. C。从后文中的a shining light可知, 是不经意间注意到闪闪的光线。notice意为“注意到”, 符合题意。

第7处:考查时态。本文叙述的是作者小时候的事情, 结合全文可知应用一般过去时, 故将miss改为missed。

第8处:考查冠词。在visit前加不定冠词a, 表示泛指。

第9处:考查代词。根据语境可知此处指母亲的老板, 故将His改为Her。
