It is important to remember that success ________ a sum of small efforts made each day and often ________ years of achieve. A. is; takes B. are; takes C. are; take D. is; take 【答案】A 【解析】 试题分析:主谓一致指“人称”和“数”方面的一致关系。根据分析,第一空的谓语要填一个单数,因为此宾语从句:…that success a sum of…day.的主语是success,一个单数名词,故谓语要用is;后面的句子:often years to achieve.的主语也是success,故第二空的谓语也是一个单数形式。句意:成功是将每天一小点努力积累起来,是需要多年的努力去达到,记住这些很重要。 【考点定位】考查主谓一致原则 【名师点睛】本题旨在考查主谓一致原则,要求学生掌握这一原则和用法,确定句子主语的单复数,不要受其他干扰项干扰而答错。主谓一致是指: 1) 语法形式上要一致,即单复数形式与谓语要一致。2) 意义上要一致,即主语意义上的单复数要与谓语的单复数形式一致。 3) 就近原则,即谓语动词的单复形式取决于最靠近它的词语, 一般来说,不可数名词用动词单数,可数名词复数用动词复数。 4)就远原则,即谓语动词的单复形式取决于离它最远的词语, 一般来说,不可数名词用动词单数,可数名词复数用动词复数。 8.【2015·陕西】14. more learned a man is, more modest be usually become. A. The ; the B. A; a C. The ; a D. A; the 【答案】A 【考点定位】考查冠词 【名师点睛】冠词的考查集中在the表示特指;a/an表示泛指。另外要注意冠词的一些固定搭配中冠词的使用。这里用的是:the +比较级+主谓, the +比较级+主谓的句型,学生在平时应该多积累这些包含冠词的短语和句型。 9.【2015·四川】5.Brian is gifted in writing music; he is very likely to be Beethoven. A. a B. an C. the D.不填 【答案】A 【解析】 试题分析:考查冠词。本题考查不定冠词在人名前,表示:一个像…那样的人。故选择A,句意为:Brian在创作音乐上极有才华,他很有可能成为一个像贝多芬那样的人才。 【考点定位】考查冠词 - 171 - 【名师点睛】考查冠词。冠词是高考英语中的难点和重点,考生在冠词试题上失分较多,主要是缺乏语感,对一些知识点掌握不够透彻。本题中首先根据Beethoven排除选项B,因为不定冠词an用于以元音音素开头的单词前。通常情况下人名前是不加冠词的,但是如果指一个像某个名人的人时,在这个人名前加不定冠词。 10.【2015·浙江】2. Jane’s grandmother had wanted to write children’s book for many years, but one thing or another always got in way. A. a;不填 B. the;the C. 不填;the D. a;the 【答案】D 【解析】 试题分析:句意:多年来,简的奶奶想写一本有关于儿童的书,但总是被这样或那样的原因阻碍了。第一个空使用不定冠词表泛指,第二个in the way 是固定搭配,意为挡道或阻碍。定冠词用于特指或者是固定搭配,不定冠词用于泛指。选D。 【考点定位】考查冠词的使用 【名师点睛】冠词的考查一直以来是一个易错点,虽然冠词只有3个(a , an, the) 但是麻雀虽小五脏俱全,考查起来往往会弄错。名词第一次出现或泛指时,冠词用a/an,,但名词的首字母是(A、E、I、O、U)发音时,用an, 如:apple, English, important, operation, unusual, 特殊的有umbrella, hour, honest用an, university, unique, usual 用 a。 名词第二次出现用the;①强调特指时用the;②the + 最高级,③ the + 形容词(rich 【富人】, poor【穷人】, wounded【伤者】, dead【死者】, elderly【长者】)表某一类人 ④the+比较级(the more .. the better)⑤the +序数词 (表顺序); 'a+ 序数词 (表“又,再”),⑥固定搭配 (in the way 挡道) 另外也需要注意零冠词的情况。零冠词用法归纳:独一职位在某地,用作表/补/同位语;独立主格作状语,用by短语表方式;man字一词指人类,对比含义两名词;系词turn+名单数,街/路/期刊与杂志;具体意义变抽象,as/though之倒装句;人名/地名/国一词,抽象/物质不特指;桥名/单岛/单山峰,一专加一普专用词;月份/星期/节假日,学科/语言/称呼语;颜色/病名/五感觉,棋类/球类/三餐词;复数名词系泛指,固定词组惯用语;以上情况请记住,其前均用零冠词。 11.【2015·浙江】15.

I just heard____ bank where Dora works was robbed by____ gunman wearing a mask. A. the; / B. a; / C. the; a D. a; the 【答案】C 【考点定位】考查冠词。 【名师点睛】冠词的运用要把握 a 一般表示 泛指某一类人或物,意为“任何一个,任一” 。the 表示表示特指,或有某类型的修饰。定冠词的用法口诀,特指双熟悉,上文已提及; 世上独无二,序数最高级; 某些专有名,习语及乐器 要牢记对于做题非常有帮助。 专题二 代词、介词和介词短语 1.【2015·重庆】2.

A. everybody B. nobody C. anybody D. somebody 【答案】B 【解析】 试题分析:句意:会议将在九月举行,但没有人知道确切的日期。根据but - 171 - 表达转折可知没有人知道,故选B项。 【考点定位】考查代词。 【名师点睛】这道题考查不定代词,题目难度不大,不定代词的运用要根据题目中所给的语境,及关键词来进行确定。Somebody一般用于肯定的陈述句中,anybody多用于否定句,疑问句或条件句中,everybody用于肯定句; nobody表示没人或没有人;根据语境中的but可知表示转折,故暗示没有人知道确切的日期。 2.【2015·重庆】10. Last year was the warmest year on record, with global temperature 0.68 ℃____ the average. A. below B. on C. at D. above 【答案】D 【解析】 试题分析:句意:去年是有纪录以来最热的一年,全球平均气温上升0.68度。With 的宾语global temperature ,宾语补足above the average。 【考点定位】考查介词。 【名师点睛】with的复合结构中,复合宾语中第一部分宾语由名词和代词充当,第二部分补足语由形容词,副词,介词短语,动词不定式或分词充当。而本题考查with +名词/代词+介词短语,而介词的使用则根据当时语境的提示来做出相应的变化即句中的the warmest year on record起重要作用,可知高出平均气温。 3.【2015·浙江】3. Have you ever heard of the trees that are homes animals both on land and sea? A. about B. to C. with D. over 【答案】 B 【解析】 试题分析:句意:你是否有听说过树是陆上动物和海上动物的家?home to sth 固定搭配,是什么的家园的意思。该句是一个疑问句,其中还含有一个定语从句。比如这个句子转化为陈述句应该是You have ever heard of the trees that are homes animals both on land and sea? 然后把定语从句单独拿出来看将会是trees are homes animals both on land and sea. 根据固定搭配自然知道答案是to。 【考点定位】考查介词 【名师点睛】本题考查到了分析句子成分的能力。当遇到一个句子比较复杂的时候,比如含有从句或疑问句时,要划分句子成分。对于疑问句,首先把它转化为陈述句,然后找出句子的主谓宾,把那一些修饰成分去掉,最后就可以知道该题考查的是be home to sth. 4.【2015·浙江】12. How would you like if you were watching your favorite TV program and someone came into the room and just shut it off without asking you? A. them B. one C. those D. it 【答案】D 【考点定位】考查代词It 【名师点睛】it 为形式宾语,其后的不定式为真正的宾语。一般说来,当不定式、动名词、从句等用作宾语且其后跟有宾语补足语时,就应在宾语补足语前使用形式宾语,而将真正的宾语移至句末。it 用作形式宾语的基本句型是:动词+形式宾语+宾语补足语+真正的宾语。另外,某些表示“喜、怒、哀、乐”的动词,如like, enjoy, love, hate等,往往不能直接接宾语从句,需要用it作形式宾语。 5.【2015·浙江】17. These comments came specific questions often asked by local newsmen. A. in memory of B. in response to C. in touch with D. in possession of 【答案】B 【解析】 试题分析:句意:这些评论是对某些经常被当地新闻人问到的问题的回应。A. in memory of 意为纪念, B. in response to意为回应,C. in touch with意为联系,D. in possession of意为拥有。分析句子成分知道空格处充当介词短语作状语的作用,根据常识和句意,评论应该是对问题的回应。所以答案应该是B. in - 171 - response to回应。 【考点定位】考查介词短语 【名师点睛】介词不能独立在句中做成份,介词后必须与名词、代词、或动名词构成介词短语在句中充当一个成份,表示人、物、事件等与其它人、物、事件等之间的关系。本题考查的介词短语结构是介词+名词+介词的形式,本句另外还含有一个过去分词(asked by local newsmen)作定语的用法。 6.【2015·天津】2.

A. that B. one C. it D. this 【答案】A 【解析】 试题分析:句意:这所小学校的教育质量要好于一些大学校。句中代词代指不可数名词the quality of education,故用代词that。代词it和one都代指可数名词单数。故选A。 【考点定位】考查代词。 【名师点睛】本题考查代词辨析。代词it, one和that都指代前面提到的名词。一般说来, it指代同名同物;one与that则指代同名异物,但one为泛指, 相当于a/an+名词,只可代指可数名词;that为特指, 相当于the +名词,可以代指不可数名词。one既可代替事物, 也可代替人, that只能代替事物而不能代替人。掌握好这些知识就不难选出答案。 7.【2015·浙江】10.

A. another B. the other C. other D. either 【答案】B 【解析】 试题分析:句意:为了提醒自己,这个水手坐在火前面一只光脚摩擦另外一只脚。因为人有两只脚,一只是one,另外一只是the other,所以选B。 【考点定位】考查代词 【名师点睛】考查代词的题目首先要弄清它指代的是什么,指代的数量,结合句意和代词本身的用法,再进行辨析。如果是一些相似的、易混的代词如another; the other;other;others ,就要弄清它们之间的差别。结合上下文句意来进行判断。 10.【2015·福建】21.The research group produced two reports based on the survey, but contained any useful suggestions.

Most of us, if we know even a little about where our food comes from, understand that every bite put into our mouths was alive.

Having ignored 【答案】B 【考点定位】考查动名词作主语 【名师点睛】本题考查非谓语动词。“will be”前面的“______ the difference between the two research findings”是主语部分,动词原形和过去分词不能直接作主语,习惯上用动名词作主语。且you和ignore是主谓关系,这里表示同时发生,而非先后发生,因此不用分词的完成式。 16.【2015·湖南】34.Sometimes I act as a listening ear for fellow students ________ what is bothering them. A. to talk over B. talked over C.talk over D.having talked over 【答案】A 【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意:有时我充当了倾听同学们谈论烦心事的对象。此处不定式表示目的。故选A。 【考点定位】考查非谓语动词。 【名师点睛】 【名师点睛】非谓语动词不定式可以表示目的,在句中作目的状语。①表目的:He worked day and night to get the money. 他夜以继日地工作来赚钱。She sold her hair to buy the watch chain. 她卖掉了自己的头发来买那条表链。注意不定式放句首时,逻辑主语与句子主语要一致 专题八 定语从句 1.【2015·湖南】29.It is a truly delightful place, ________ looks the same as it must have done 100 years ago with its winding streets and pretty cottages.. A. as B. where C. that D. which 【答案】D 【解析】 - 171 - 试题分析:根据分析,此句是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词是place,在定语从句中是作主语的,所以用关系代词引导。As引导非限定性定语从句时要放在句首,故排除,选用which。句意:这真是一个令人愉快的地方,这里的蜿蜒的小路和美丽的小村庄一定和100年前看起来是一模一样的。故选D 【考点定位】考查定语从句关系代词。 【名师点睛】本题旨在考查定语从句中的关系词,要求学生掌握在什么情况下用关系副词,什么情况下用关系代词以及各自的意义。非限制性定语从句是先行词的附加说明,去掉了也不会影响主句的意思,它与主句之间通常用逗号分开。非限制性定语从句还能将整个主句作为先行词, 对其进行修饰, 这时从句谓语动词要用第三人称单数。关系代词that和关系副词why不能引导非限制性定语从句。 2.【2015·北京】24.Opposite is St.Paul's Church,___you can hear some lovely music. A. which B.that C.when D.where 【答案】D 【解析】 试题分析:句意:对面是圣保罗教堂,在教堂里你能听到一些优美的音乐。这是一个定语从句。先行词是St. Paul’s Church,从句主谓宾成分完整,去掉空后依然是完整的句子,可推断出引导词在从句中作的是地点状语。用where。故选D。 【考点定位】考查非限制性定语从句 【名师点睛】本题考查学生对非限制性定语从句的掌握情况,做题之前先看到句子中间有没有逗号,逗号是非限制性定语从句的标志。然后再看句子中缺不缺成份,在定语从句中从句主语宾语都不缺少时,应该考虑关系副词,所以学生需要记住这种方法。 3.【2015·重庆】14. He wrote many children’ s books, nearly half of____ were published in the 1990s. A. whom B. which C. them D. that 【答案】B 【解析】 试题分析:句意:他写了许多儿童书籍,几乎一半在1990年左右出版。先行词是books,定语从句中of缺少宾语,故选B项。 【考点定位】考查定语从句。 【名师点睛】定语从句有一种介词+关系代词,用关系代词还是关系副词完全取决于从句中的谓语动词,不及物动词后面无宾语,就必须要求用关系副词或介词+关系代词,而及物动词后接宾语,则要求关系代词。Do you know the boy to whom she was talking? Do you know the boy (that) she was talking to?此类定语从句,首先从先行词入手,确实主语是人还是物,再根据定语从句缺少的成分来辨别到底用哪个引导词。 4.【2015·浙江】19. Creating an atmosphere employees feel part of a team is a big challenge. A. as B. whose C. in which D. at which 【答案】C 【考点定位】考查定语从句介词加which的用法。 【名师点睛】解答此题需要能够看出这是一个定语从句的结构名词+连词+句子,也需要分析从句的句子成分。关系词的选择,最关键的就是看先行词在定语从句中作什么成分,而不是看先行词是表示什么的单词,如表示地点的先行词之后未必用where,同样表示时间的先行词之后未必用when。当关系代词作介词宾语,且该介词不是和从句的谓语动词构成固定短语时,介词可以提前,这样就出现"介词+关系代词"。先行词指物,用"介词+which",指人则用"介词+whom", 且两个关系代词均不能省略,介词的选择要遵循两个原则: 1.根据定语从句中谓语动词与先行词的搭配内容而定。2.根据先行词特殊用法而定。 5.【2015·天津】15 The boss of the company is trying to create an easy atmosphere ______ his employees - 171 - enjoy their work. A. where B. which C. when D. who 【答案】A 【解析】 试题分析:句意:公司老板正尽力创造一种轻松的气氛,在这种气氛中,其员工喜欢他们的工作。句中先行词为atmosphere,在从句中作地点状语,故用关系副词where。根据句意可知选A。 【考点定位】考查定语从句。 【名师点睛】本题考查定语从句。定语从句是高考重点考查知识之一,分析定语从句需要牢牢抓住两点:第一、找准先行词。第二、看先行词在从句中所作的成分。抓住这两点,再根据句意,从而能够判断出正确的关系词。 6.【2015·四川】3.The books on the desk, covers are shiny, are prizes for us. A.which B. what C. whose D. that 【答案】C 【解析】 试题分析:考查定语从句。本题考查定语从句的关系词,先行词为the books,和covers之间存在所有关系,故选择C,意为书的封面。句意为:桌上的书是给我们的奖励,那些书的封面闪闪发光。 【考点定位】考查定语从句 【名师点睛】本题考查定语从句中关系词的选择。本句主要考查了关系代词whose的用法,whose在定语从句中担当定语,和其后的名词之间存在所有关系,还是比较容易判断的。此题中如果在covers之前加上定冠词the,则需要用of+which结构。即此题等同于:The books on the desk, of which the covers are shiny, are prizes for us. 7.【2015·陕西】15. As the smallest child of his family, Alex is always longing for the time he should be able to be independent. A. which B. where C. whom D. when 【答案】D 【解析】 试题分析:句意:作为家里最小的孩子,Alex总是渴望他能够有独立的时间。这里使用定语从句,先行词是the time,定语从句中缺少时间状语,用关系副词when,所以选D。 【考点定位】考查定语从句 【名师点睛】定语从句的考查主要就是考查关系词的辨析,关系代词that, which, whose, whom, as, who在句中做主语,宾语,表语或者定语;where, why, when在句中做状语。要分析句子成分,看缺少什么成分,就选用相应的关系词。 8.【2015·福建】34.China Today attracts a worldwide readership,_______ shows that more and more people all over the world want to learn about China. A. who B. whom C. that D. Which 【答案】D 【解析】 试题分析:考查非限制性定语从句。根据句式结构来看出现了逗号,说明这是一个非限制性定语从句。首先That不能引导非限制性定语从句,who在引导非限制性定语从句的时候通常在从句中做主语和宾语,指人,而whom也指人,却只能做宾语。Which引导非限制性定语从句通常在从句中做主语或者宾语。关系词代指前面的中国日报,在定语从句中做主语。该句意思为:中国日报有着全球的读者群,这说明全球越来越多的人想要了解中国。故选D 【考点定位】考查非限制性定语从句 【名师点睛】关系词的选择,最关键的就是看先行词在定语从句中作什么成分,而不是看先行词是表示什么的单词,如表示地点的先行词之后未必用where,同样表示时间的先行词之后未必用when。Which在非限制性定语从句中通常是代指前面整个句子或者一个较长的词语,并且在从句中做主语。 9.【2015·江苏】21.The number of smokers, _____ is reported, has dropped by 17 percent in just one year. A. it B. which C. what D. as 【答案】D 【解析】 试题分析:句意:据报道,吸烟者人数仅(过去)一年就减少了17%。as引导的非限制性定语从句位置灵活,可以置于主句的句首、句中或句末,指代的是整个一句话。故选D项。 - 171 - 考生容易误选B项which,把逗号前面的the number of smokers看成先行词,后面非限制性定语从句用which引导。殊不知,这里关系代词指代的是“The number of smokers has dropped by 17 percent in just one year.”整个一句话。另外,as和which在定语从句都可以指代一句话,但前者有“正如……”的意思,后者则没有。还可以抓住as is reported这一常用结构,类似的还有as is known/expected/planned/mentioned/said等。 【考点定位】定语从句 【名师点睛】考生容易误选B项which,把逗号前面的the number of smokers看成先行词,后面非限制性定语从句用which引导。殊不知,这里关系代词指代的是“The number of smokers has dropped by 17 percent in just one year.”整个一句话。另外,as和which在定语从句都可以指代一句话,但前者有“正如……”的意思,后者则没有。还可以抓住as is reported这一常用结构,类似的还有as is known/expected/planned/mentioned/said等。 10.【2015·安徽】28.Some experts think reading is the fundamental skill upon______ school education depends. A. it B. that C. whose D. which 【答案】D 【考点定位】考查定语从句 【名师点睛】本题考查定语从句。定语从句分为限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句,有逗号隔开的是非限制性定语从句。定语从句的关系词分为关系代词和关系副词。在定语从句中,介词后只能跟whom或which,指人用whom;指物用which。这里的先行词是skill,指物。 专题十 名词性从句 1.【2015·湖南】26.You have to know ________ you're going if you are to plan the best way of getting there. A. what B. that C. where D. who 【答案】C 【考点定位】考查宾语从句。 【名师点睛】判断是什么句子最关键,这个句子是由know引导的宾语从句,宾语从句的连接词有连接代词和连接副词。因为从句部分缺少状语成分,答案就出来了。正确解答该题需要理解句意以及注意上下文(you're going if you are to plan the best way of getting there.)的表达。 2.【2015·北京】33.I truly believe ______beauty comes from within.

On a mere 1/10 of an acre in Los Angeles, Loe and her family grow, can(装罐)and preserve much of the food they consume. Loe is a master food preserver, gardener and canning expert. She also operates a website, where she shares her tips and recipes, with the goal of demonstrating that every has the ability to control what’s on their plate. Loe initially went to school to become an engineer, but she quickly learned that her enthusiasm was mainly about growing and preparing her own food. “I got into cooking my own food and started growing my own herbs (香草) and foods for that fresh flavor,”she said. Engineer by day, Loe learned cooking at night school. She ultimately purchased a small piece of land with her husband and began growing their own foods. “I teach people how to live farm-fresh without a farm,” Loe said. Through her website Loe emphasizes that “anybody can do this anywhere.” Got an apartment with a balcony (阳台)? Plant some herbs. A window? Perfect spot for growing. Start with herbs, she recommends, because “they’re very forgiving.” Just - 171 - a little of the herbs “can take your regular cooking to a whole new level,” she added. “I think it’s a great place to start.” “Then? Try growing something from a seed, she said, like a tomato or some tea.” Canning is a natural extension of the planting she does. With every planted food. Loe noted, there’s a moment when it’s bursting with its absolute peak flavor. “I try and keep it in a time capsule in a canning jar,” Loe said. “Canning for me is about knowing what’s in your food, knowing where it comes from.” In addition to being more in touch with the food she’s eating, another joy comes from passing this knowledge and this desire for good food to her children: “Influencing them and telling them your opinion on not only being careful what we eat but understanding the bigger picture,” she said, “that if we don’t take care of the earth, no will.” 55.The underlined word “prerequisite” (Pare. 1) is closest in meaning to “______”. A. recipe B. substitute C. requirement D. challenge 56.Why does Loe suggest starting with herbs? A. They are used daily. B. They are easy to grow. C. They can grow very tall D. They can be eaten uncooked 57.According to Loe, what is the benefit of canning her planted foods? A. It can preserve their best flavor B. It can promote her online sales C. It can better her cooking skills D. It can improve their nutrition 58.What is the“the bigger picture” (Para. 6) that Loe wishes her children to understand? A. The knowledge about good food B. The way to live a grow-our-own life C. The joy of getting in touch with foods D. The responsibility to protect our earth 【考点定位】记叙文阅读 【名师点睛】记叙文体裁特点是:人不离事,事不离人。写人的文章事情是重点;记事的文章人物是关键。考生要注意抓住故事情节,理解文章脉络,重点关注作者重墨泼就的细节描写,领会作者的写作意图。同时还要把握人物的情绪起伏,要进入“角色”,客观做题。本文顺应当前社会生活潮流,介绍了园艺和食品保存大师Theresa Loe如何利用阳台、小院在喧嚣繁忙的大都市里过田园生活。 2.【2015·北京卷】A The Boy Made It! One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute. Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all the survival shows he - 171 - had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use. He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter form the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him. Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could. By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could- he huddled(蜷缩) in his cave and slept. The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved. Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls’ survival show. Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life, In each episode(一期节目)of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out. When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive. 56.

The four-year-old dog set off racing after the sheep across several fields and, being a city animal, lost both her sheep and her sense of direction. Then she ran along the edge of cliff( 悬崖) and fell 100 feet, bouncing off a rock into the sea. Her owner Mike Holden panicked and celled the coastguard of Cornwall, who turned up in seconds . Six volunteers slid down the cliff with the help of a rope but gave up all hope of finding her alive after a 90-minute search. Three days later, a hurricane hit the coast near Cornwall. Mr. Holden returned home from his holiday upset and convinced his pet was dead. He comforted himself with the thought she had died in the most beautiful part of the country. For the next two weeks, the Holdens were heartbroken . Then, one day, the phone rang and Steve Tregear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holder if he would like his dog bark. A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting desperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy. The dog had initially been knocked unconscious(失去知觉的)but had survived by drinking water from a fresh scream at the base of the cliff. She may have fed on the body of a sheep which had also fallen over the edge. “The dog was very thin and hungry,” Steve Tregear said , “It was a very dog.

After he was put on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey. And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin's chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料). The Smell really burned the inside of your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right. For example, just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell, and the taste was even sweeter. As the vegetables started coming in, Dad threw himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants, potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour. the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Finally, Dad turned off the stove, the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam. If we thought Dad's pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad took off the lid, the smell nearly knocked us out. Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak! Determined, Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around. It didn’t look that bad, and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell, it didn’t offend the nose so much, either. I took a taste. It would never win a prize in a cooking competition, but it was surprisingly edible and we drank up every last drop of soup. 34.Why did Dad clean Old Man Mocolgin’s chicken house regularly? A.

This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — inability to read. In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical(相同的) to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer. Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together. My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them. I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held. 46. The author’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to_____. A. encourage him to do more walking B. let him spend a meaningful summer C. help cure him of his reading problem D. make him learn more about weapons 47. The book caught the author’s eye because_____. - 171 - A. it contained pretty pictures of animals B. it reminded him of his own dog C. he found its title easy to understand D. he liked children’s stories very much 48. Why could the author manage to read the book through? A. He was forced by his mother to read it. B. He identified with the story in the book. C. The book told the story of his pet dog. D.

The author’s mother rewarded him with books. D. The author has had happy summers ever since. 50. Which one could be the best title of the passage? A. The Charm of a Book B. Mum’s Strict Order C.

I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.” I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind. Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; Ijust needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give - 171 - up? I didn’t expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an“A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words:“ See what you can do when you keep trying?” 36. The author didn’t finish the reading in class because. A. He was new to the class B. He was tried of literature C. He had an attention disorder D. He wanted to take the task home 37. What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage? A. He had good sight B. He made a great invention. C. He gave up reading D. He learned a lot from school 38. What was Mrs.Smith ‘s attitude to the author at the end of the story? A. Angry B. Impatient C. Sympathetic D. Encouraging 38. What is the main idea of the passage? A.The disabled should be treated with respect. B.A teacher can open up a new world to students. C. One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts. D. Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges. 【解析】 试题分析: 本文主要讲述作者有注意力紊乱,不想努力,在老师的激励下,克服困难的故事 36.C细节理解题。根据第一段At thirteen, I was diagnosed with a kind of attention disorder.可知作者被诊断出注意力紊乱,故选C项。 37.B 推断题。根据第五段提到it was about a blind person,Louise Braile,和 Instead , he invented a reading systerm of raised dots,which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind可知Louise Braile是个盲人,创造了盲文,故选B项。 38.D 推断题。根据最后一段提到so it was a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A”当我看到作业上A时,非常的吃惊,史密斯小姐对我的态度是令人鼓励的,故选D项。 39.C 主旨大意。本文主要讲述作者有注意力紊乱,不想努力,在老师的激励下,克服困难的故事,故选C项。 【考点定位】日常生活类阅读 【名师点睛】本文是叙事性的文章,着重一些事实细节,认真阅读题干,找到问题的切入点,不可以自以为的事实做为判断的依据,而要立足于文章,而37题属于推断题,则要根据排除来进行选择,且注意主语是谁,不可与文章的主人公混淆;38题是主旨大意,首先比较选项,排除完全没有意义的A项,再根据文章的大意来判断哪个答案更符合。 8.【2015·安徽】B When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing oneperson. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up. Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard. Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business." Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success. - 171 - 60. Helene tied several chopsticks together to show ______. A. the strength of family unity B. the difficulty of growing up C. the advantage of chopsticks D. the best way of giving a lesson 61. We can I earn from Paragraph 2 that the An family ______. A. started a business in 1975 B. left Vietnam without much money C. bought a restaurant in San Francisco D. opened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles 62. What can we infer about the An daughters? A. They did not finish their college education. B. They could not bear to work in the family business. C. They were influenced by what Helene taught them. D. They were troubled by disagreement among family members. 63. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. How to Run a Corporation B. Strength Comes from Peace C. How to Achieve a Big Dream D. Family Unity Builds Success 【答案】 60. A 61. B 62. C 63. D 【解析】 试题分析:文章通过讲述一个家族企业的发展历程。作者以此来强调家庭团结的重要性。Helene和丈夫离开越南时,他们并不富有。Helene给她的女儿讲述了一个关于团结的故事。一双筷子很容易被折断,但是,当几双筷子绑在一起时,它们将很难被折断,对于家庭来说亦是如此。 60. A 细节理解题。根据第一段“she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. This lesson about family unity...”可知,Helene把筷子绑在一起并试着折断它们,是为了显示团结的力量。 61. B 细节理解题。根据“when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money.”可知,当离开越南时,Helene夫妇并没有太多的钱。 62. C 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Eventually the girls all graduated from college”排除A;根据“the daughters returned to work in the family business”可知,Helene的女儿们相继都回到了家族企业,但文中未提到她们无法承受家族企业里的工作,排除B;根据“they worked together to make the business successful”可知,虽然有分歧,但她们还是齐心协力地工作,排除D。 63. D 选择最佳标题。根据第一段“Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结).”和第三段“to succeed we must have unity”与第四段“and they worked together. Now they are a big success.”可知,文文章主要讲的是家庭团结对取得成功的重要性。文章没有讲怎样经营一家大型公司,也没有提到怎样实现伟大梦想。 【考点定位】故事类短文阅读 【名师点睛】细节理解题比较简单,考生可以从文中直接找到提示;推理判断题需要从文中找到排除某一个选项的依据,而不能主观臆断。选择最佳标题,需要注意排除绝对化或片面的选项,要放眼全文,从手段和末段寻找文章的主旨大意。 9.【2015·新课标全国II】A My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed. Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set. When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to - 171 - go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my first, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the sit is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble. 21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set? A. He got an older model than he had expected. B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken. C. He could have bought it at a lower price. D. He failed to find any movie shows on it. 22. Which of the following an best replace the phrase “signed off” in paragraph 1? A. ended all their programs B. provided fewer channels C. changed to commercials D. showed all-night movies 23. How did the author finally get this TV set working again? A. By shaking and hitting it B. By turning it on and off C. By switching channels D. By having it repaired 24. How does the author sound when telling the story? A. Curious B. Anxious C. Cautious D. Humorous 【答案】 21. C 22. A 23. D 24. D 【解析】 试题分析:我的彩电带给我的只有让我头疼的事。从一开始就让我很不痛快。因为我花的钱比广告上的多,这还不算,机子还是过时的,而且质量也有问题,先是接受频道不全,接着是噪音不断,最后只好自己花钱去修。 21. C 细节理解题。根据第一段第四行“when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid.” 当我看到报纸上75美元比我买的价格低的时候,我感觉我上当了。故选C。 22.A 词义推测题。根据后一句Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.:幸运的是,我没有可以整晚看电影的频道,否则我就不能睡觉了,故选A。 23.D 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的My trip to the repair shop cost me $62,可知作者由于用拳头砸电视,导致电视没了噪音,也什么都不出了。最后只好自己花钱去修理店修电视机,共花了62美元,故选D。 24.D推理判断题。根据开头Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.意思是说:看不了电视节目就可以睡觉;中间还说I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.意思是:晃动电视的同时还锻炼了胳膊上肌肉,可知作者很诙谐幽默。故选D。 【考点定位】故事类短文阅读 【名师点睛】本文以考查学生对本故事的内容是否理解为主要考点,以细节理解题为主,兼顾对词语在语境中的意义的考查。最后一题较难,推断作者对事情的态度,考生需要在全文中寻找有关线索,尤其对Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.的理解很关键,or I would never have gotten to bed.是一个虚拟语气句,看不成电视反而成了好事;I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set,晃电视是因为有噪音,作者竟然还提到锻炼了胳膊的肌肉,从中可以看出作者幽默的一面。 10.【2015·福建】B Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. "There's so much to - 171 - learn," he'd say. "Though we're born stupid, only the stupid remain that way. " He was determined that none of his children would be denied ( fll^fe) an education. Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point. Then came the moment—the time to share the day's new learning. Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen. "Felice," he'd say, "tell me what you learned today. " "I learned that the population of Nepal is .... " Silence. Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation of the world would depend upon it. "The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well . . . . " he'd say. "Get the map; let's see wrhere Nepal is. " And the wThole family went on a search for Nepal. This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts. As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another's education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher. Later during my training as a future teacher /1 studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful. 60.What do we know from the first paragraph? A.

The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more.

There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities. The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain. The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre. The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. 28.

Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure, providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta. The camps have excellent horses, professional guides and lots of support workers. They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience. The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes full of water lilies, tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face. It is truly exciting. You are very likely to come across large wild animals, too. On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer to them. In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace. With golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink. Sedate though they are, rides at this time of day are still very impressive. As the sun's rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses, the - 171 - romance of Africa comes to life. Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback Safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild. 48. What does the underlined word "They" refer to? A. Flooded waters B. Wildlife journey C. Safari camps D. Unique rides 49. What does the author find most exciting about a horse safari? A. Seeing and feeling the real African life. B. Enjoying good food and wine at the camp. C. Hunting large animals just as our ancestors did. D. Being part of the scene and getting close to animals. 50. What does the underlined word "sedate" probably mean? A. Wild and romantic B. Slow and peaceful C. Hurry and thirsty D. Active and excited 51. The author introduced the riding experience in the OKavango Delta mainly by________. A. Following space order B. Following time order C. Making classifications D. Giving examples 【考点定位】广告类阅读。 【名师点睛】广告类阅读理解相对来说是比较容易的,但这就可能会在题干上设定一些难度,所以要注意同义词和同义句话的使用,及文章的写作方式,抓住重点;广告类阅读中最容易出现的指代题目,如48题和50题,首先要定位段落,再根据上下文来确定其指代内容;而在49题中明显的体现同义词,题干中是most exciting而文章中是The sense of excitement从而可以容易的找到答案。 7.【2015·安徽】A Welcome to the Electronic Village to explore new ways of language teaching and learning.

It won an Oscar in 2006, and if you watch it, you’ll understand why. It’s an absolutely brilliant cartoon comedy. Cheese-loving inventor Wallace and his brainy dog Gromit have started a company to protect the town’s vegetables from hungry rabbits. However, just before the annual Giant Vegetable Competition, an enormous rabbit begins terrorising the town. It is attacking all the vegetables and destroying everything in its path. The competition organizer, Lady Tottington, hires Wallace and Gromit to catch the monster alive. But they will have to find the were-rabbit before gun-crazy hunter Victor Quartermaine who is desperate to kill it. The screenplay is witty and full of amusing visual jokes. As usual, the voice of Peter Sallis is absolutely perfect for the role of Wallace, and Gromit is so beautifully brought to life, he can express a huge range of emotions without saying a word. And both Helena Bonham-Carter, who plays the part of Lady Tottington, and Ralph Fiennes as Victor are really funny. To sum up, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is an amazing film which is suitable for both children and adults. If you liked Wallace and Gromit’s previous adventures and you appreciate the British sense of humour, you’ll love this film. Don’t miss it! 70. In the film review, what is paragraph A mainly about? A. The introduction to the leading roles B. The writer’s opinion of acting C. The writer’s comments on the story D. The background information 71.

A pony(马驹) bit me earlier.” As it happened, the bite was virtually painless: more the kind of small bite you might get from a naughty child. The pony responsible was queuing up for some ice cream in the car park near Haytor, and perhaps thought I’d jumped in ahead of him. The reason why the ponies here are naughty is that Haytor is a tourist-heavy area and tourists are constantly feeding the ponies foods, despite sighs asking them not to. By feeding the ponies, tourists increase the risk of them getting hit by a car, and make them harder to gather during the area’s annual pony drift(迁移). The purpose of a pony drift is to gather them up so their health can be checked, the baby ones can be stooped from feeding on their mother’s milk, and those who’ve gone beyond their limited area can be returned to their correct area. Some of them are also later sold, in order to limit the number of ponies according to the rules set by Natural England. Three weeks ago, I witnessed a small near-disaster a few mils west of here. While walking, I noticed a pony roll over on his back. “Hello!” I said to him, assuming he was just rolling for fun, but he was very still and, as I got closer, I saw him kicking his legs in the air and breathing heavily. I began to properly worry about him. Fortunately, I managed to get in touch with a Dartmoor’s Livestock Protection officer and send her a photo. The officer immediately sent a local farmer out to check on the pony. The pony had actually been trapped between two rocks. The farmer freed him, and he began to run happily around again. Dartmoor has 1,000 or so ponies, who play a critical role in creating the diversity of species in this area. Many people are working hard to preserve these ponies, and trying to come up with plans to find a sustainable(可持续的) future for one of Dartmoor’s most financially-troubled elements. 51.Why are tourists asked not to feed the ponies? A. To protect the tourists from being bitten B. To keep the ponies off the petrol station C. To avoid putting the ponies in danger D. To prevent the ponies from fighting 52.One of the purposes of the annual pony drift is ______________. A. to feed baby ponies on milk - 171 - B. to control the number of ponies C. to expand the habitat for ponies D. to sell the ponies at a good price 53.What as the author’s first reaction when he saw a pony roll on its back? A. He freed it from the trap B. He called a protection officer C. He worried about it very much D. He thought of it as being naughty 54.What does the author imply about the preservation of Dartmoor’s ponies? A. It lacks people’s involvement. B. It costs a large amount of money C. It will affect tourism in Dartmoor. D. It has caused an imbalance of species 【考点定位】夹叙夹议文阅读 【名师点睛】夹叙夹议文是近几年高考经常涉及的一类文体,文章一方面叙述事情,另一方面又对事情加以评论,此类文章一般先提出论点,然后以事例说明论点,最后得出结论,或者一边叙述事情经过,一边对事情加以分析评论,文章最后一段用一句概括性的话点明主题,将叙述和议论有机地结合起来,其中“叙”是“议”的基础,“议”是“叙”的渗透和延伸。考生要注意在通读全文的基础上弄清文章结构,阅读时重点要放在议论部分,因为该部分表达了作者的观点或看法,是文章的精髓。理解了作者的观点和看法,也就把握了全文的主要内容。本文难度不大,通过作者与小马的“亲密接触”介绍了英国达特穆尔荒原淘气的矮种马,散发出浓浓的英伦风。 2.【2015·湖北卷】C Hilversum is a medium-sized city between the major cities of Amsterdam and Utrecht in the Gooi area of North Holland, the Netherlands. Unlike most of the Netherlands, Hilversum is actually in a hilly area with the soil mostly consisting of sand. Once called the Garden of Amsterdam, it still attracts travelers to come over to cycle and walk through the surrounding forests. They visit it for a relaxing day off from the urban madness. For Dutch people, Hilversum is all about textile (纺织) and media industries, and modern architecture. In history, Hilversum was largely an agricultural area. Daily life was marked by farming, sheep raising and wool production. A railway link to Amsterdam in 1874 attracted rich traders from Amsterdam to Hilversum. They build themselves large villas (别墅) in the wooded surroundings of the town. One of the families moving in was the Brenninkmeijers, currently the wealthiest family of the Netherlands. They moved in after big success in the textile industry and aided a substantial textile industry in Hilversum. But the textile boom lasted only several decades. The last factory closed in the 1960s. The change to a media economy started in 1920, when the Nederlandse Seintoestedllen Fabriek (NSF) established a radio factory in Hiversum. Most radio stations called in the large villas in the leafy areas of the town. Television gave another push to the local economy. Hilversum became the media capital of the Netherlands, and Dutch televison stars moved into the leafy neighborhoods surrounding the town. In the early 1900s, modern architcts W.M. Dudok and J. Duiker placed hundreds of remarkable buildings - 171 - in Hilversum. These modern architectural masterpieces (杰作) are so many that Hilversum almost feels like an open air museum. Dudok alone shaped most 20th century Hilversum and approximately 75 buildings in 1928-1931. It has wide international fame and is included in many architecture textbooks. The building has a remarkable shape and looks like a combination of “blocks”. Actually, one may start his journey of modern architecture by walking or biking the W.M. Dudok Architectural Route in Hilversum. 59.Hilversum is different from most of the Netherlands in that ______. A. it has a large population B. it is cut off from big cities C. it has many beautiful gardens D. it is in a hilly area with sandy soil 60.What was the greatest contribution of the Brenninkmeijers to Hilversum? A. Building a railway link to Amsterdam B. Helping its textile industry to develop C. Constructing large villas for the poor D. Assisting its agricultural industry 61.The beginning of the media industry in Hilversum was marked by the establishment of ______. A. a radio factory B. the medial capital C. a radio station D. a TV station 62.What is known about W.M. Dudok’s Hilversum Town Hall? A. It consists of approximately 75 buildings B. It looks like an open air museum in the city C. It is a classic example in architecture textbooks D. It has shaped most of 20th century Hilvesum. 【解析】 试题分析:本文是一篇说明文。介绍了荷兰Hilversum这一地区的地貌特征、工业发展和现代建筑。 59. D细节理解题。根据首段第二句“Unlike most of the Netherlands, Hilversum is actually a hilly area …”可知Hilversum不同于荷兰其他地方之处在于它属于沙土丘陵地带。故选D项。 60.B细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第三句“They moved in after big success in the textile industry and aided a substantial textile industry in Hilversum”可知Brennikmeijers为Hilversum 的纺织业做出了巨大的贡献。故选B项。 61.A细节理解题。根据第三段首句“The change to a media economy started in 1920, … established a radio factory in Hilversum”可知Hilversum传媒业兴起的兴起是以一家无线电厂的建立为标志的。故选A项。 62.C推理判断题。根据最后一段倒数第三、四句“His master piece… It has wide international fame and is included in many architecture textbooks”可知W. M. Dudok’s Hilversum Town Hall是建筑教科书中的一个典范。故选C项。 【考点定位】说明文阅读 【名师点睛】说明文用平实的语言客观地解释或探讨各种问题,如机器的制造过程、自然或社会现象产生的原因、工程项目的规划或问题的解决方案等,介绍自然科学、社会科学领域的最新成果,社会经济发展过程中出现的新生事物等。本文虽短短几段,却囊括了荷兰小镇Hilversum的前世今生,把一个不怎么出名的小城栩栩如生地呈现在中国读者的眼前。 3.【2015·湖北卷】E Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a temptation(诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character,and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation. Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren’t? - 171 - To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines(学科). Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention.So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters. On the whole,Brooks’s story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’s attempt to translate his tale into science. 67.The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to__________. A. illustrate where science can be applied B. demonstrate the value of Brooks’s new book C. remind the reader of the importance of science D. explain why many writers use science in their works 68.According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book? A. Its strong basis. B. Its convincing points. C. Its clear writing. D. Its memorable characters. 69.What is the author’s general attitude towards the book? A. Contradictory. B. Supportive. C . Cautious. D. Critical. 70.What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph? A. Problems with the book. B. Brooks’s life experience. C. Death of the characters. D.

However, social changes are brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes. An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college. Surveys (调查) on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that today’s parents are trying to manage their children’s lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate. However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children. In the context (背景) of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents’ involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would this have been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasn’t present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents - today’s grandparents - would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier. Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past. Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyondthe role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings. 67. The surveys inform us of ______. A. the development of technology B. the changes of adult children’s behavior C. the parents’ over-protection of their college children D. the means and expenses of students’ communication 68. The writer believes that ______. A. parents today are more protective than those in the past B. the disadvantages of new technology outweigh itsadvantages C. technology explains greater parental involvement with theirchildren D. parents’ changed attitudes lead to college children’s delayedindependence 69. What is the best title for the passage? A. Technology or Attitude B. Dependence or Independence C. Family Influence or Social Changes D. College Management or Communication Advancement 70. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage? - 171 - 【解析】 试题分析:以父母对于上大学的成年子女过度保护的问题为例,提出了科技带来的一些改变容易被误认为态度的改变的论点。 67.C 细节理解题。答案在第二段第二句话,parents today continues to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories”调查显示现在的父母在孩子上大学之后仍然非常或者某种程度上地过度保护子女。故选C。 68.C 观点态度题。第三段作者提出调查的结果并不能理解为现在的家长对孩子不放手,接下来的两段作者论述了出现这种结果的真正原因是科技的发展使得交流手段更丰富,成本更低廉。见第四段最后一句“Many studies show that older parents—today’s grandparents—would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier。最后一段更是再次强调了这种观点。故选C。 69.A主旨大意题。由第一段第二句话得出。这种科技的改变容易被误认为态度的改变。第2-5段讨论到底是科技还是态度的改变。第6段再次明确表示是科技的改变。故选A。学优高考网 70.B 文章结构题。文章第一段是introduction,第二段是第一个论点,指出父母在子女生活中参与度提高的现象。第三段是第二个论点(关键词However),指出通过调查并不能推断出父母未能对子女放手,分论点一是科技的进步导致父母对子女生活更多的参与,分论点二(关键词Furthermore)是子女经济不独立导致父母对子女生活的过多参与。最后一段总结。故选B。 【考点定位】议论文类阅读 【名师点睛】 要想读懂议论文、理解作者的写作意图,关键在于是否能够把握议论文的三要素。首先,论点是作者对所论述事件的基本看法和立场,找准论点有助于把握文章的整体方向和理解文章主题的深层内涵;理清论据材料的内容能够帮助读者更深层次地理解论点的含义;论据是作者组织、运用论据的手法。 5.【2015·北京】D Freedom and Responsibility Freedom’s challenge in the Digital Age is a serious topic. We are facing today a strange new world and we are all wondering what we are going to do with it. Some 2,500 years ago Greece discovered freedom. Before that there was no freedom. There were great civilizations, splendid empires, but no freedom anywhere. Egypt and Babylon were both tyrannies, one very powerful man ruling over helpless masses. In Greece, in Athens (雅典), a little city in a little country, there were no helpless masses. And Athenians willingly obeyed the written laws which they themselves passed, and the unwritten, which must be obeyed if free men live together. They must show each other kindness and pity and the many qualities without which life would be very painful unless one chose to live alone in the desert.The Athenians never thought that a man was free if he could do what he wanted. A man was free if he was self-controlled. To make yourself obey what you approved was freedom. They were saved from looking at their lives as their own private affair. Each one felt responsible for the welfare of Athens, not because it was forced on him from the outside, but because the city was his pride and his safety. The essential belief of the first free government in the world was liberty for all men who could control themselves and would take responsibility for the state. But discovering freedom is not like discovering computers. It cannot be discovered once for all. If people - 171 - do not prize it, and work for it, it will go. Constant watch is its price. Athens changed. It was a change that took place without being noticed though it was of the extreme importance, a spiritual change which affected the whole state. It had been the Athenian’ s pride and joy to give to their city. That they could get material benefits from her never entered their minds. There had to be a complete change of attitude before they could look at the city as an employer who paid her citizens for doing her work. Now instead of men giving to the state, the state was to give to them. What the people wanted was a government which would provide a comfortable life for them; and with this as the primary object, ideas of freedom and self-reliance and responsibility were neglected to the point of disappearing. Athens was more and more looked on as a cooperative business possessed of great wealth in which all citizens had a right to share. Athens reached the point when the freedom she really wanted was freedom from responsibility. There could be only one result. If men insisted on being free from the burden of self-dependence and responsibility for the common good, they would cease to be free. Responsibility is the price every man must pay for freedom. It is to be had on no other terms. Athens, the Athens of Ancient Greece, refused responsibility; she reached the end of freedom and was never to have it again. But, “the excellent becomes the permanent”, Aristotle said. Athens lost freedom forever, but freedom was not lost forever for the world. A great American, James Madison, referred to: “The capacity (能力) of mankind for self-government.” No doubt he had not an idea that he was speaking Greek. Athens was not in the farthest background of his mind, but once man has a great and good idea, it is never completely lost. The Digital Age cannot destroy it. Somehow in this or that man’s thought such an idea lives though unconsidered by the world of action. One can never be sure that it is not on the point of breaking out into action only sure that it will do so sometime. 65. What does the underlined word “tyrannies” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Countries where their people need help. B. Powerful states with higher civilization. C. Splendid empires where people enjoy freedom. D. Governments ruled with absolute power. 66.People believing in freedom are those who________ . A. regard their life as their own business B. seek gains as their primary object C. behave within the laws and value systems D. treat others with kindness and pity 67.What change in attitude took place in Athens? A. The Athenians refused to take their responsibility. B. The Athenians no longer took pride in the city. C. The Athenians benefited spiritually from the government. D. The Athenians looked on the government as a business. 68.What does the sentence “There could be only one result.” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Athens would continue to be free. B. Athens would cease to have freedom. C. Freedom would come from responsibility. D. Freedom would stop Athens from self-dependence. 69.Why does the author refer to Aristotle and Madison? A. The author is hopeful about freedom. B. The author is cautious about self-government. C. The author is skeptical of Greek civilization. D. The author is proud of man’s capacity. 70. What is the author’s understanding of freedom? A. Freedom can be more popular in the digital age. B. Freedom may come to an end in the digital age. C. Freedom should have priority over responsibility. D. Freedom needs to be guaranteed by responsibility. 【解析】 试题分析:这是一篇历史文化类说明文。文章讲述了自由的起源、演变和它在古代文化下的形态和缺陷,以及数字化世界给自由带来的挑战。 65.

But the only thing that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. He always answered, “Son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish”, I remember being even more upset then because, “I’m not a fish!” I didn’t know how to think like a fish. Besides, I reasoned, how could what I think influence what a fish does? As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant. So, I read some books on fish. And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. Besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun huts their eyes… The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.. When I grew up and entered the business world, I remember hearing my first boss say, “We all need to think like sales people.” But it didn’t completely make sense. My dad never once said, “If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” What he said was, “You need to think like a fish.” Years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters. 31. Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine? A. He could not catch a fish. B. His father was not patient with him. C. His father did not teach him fishing. D. He could not influence a fish as his father did. 32. What did the author’s father really mean? A. To read about fish. B. To learn fishing by oneself. C. To understand what fish think. D. To study fishing in many ways. 33. According to the author, fish are most likely to be found _________. A. in deep water on sunny days B. in deep water on cloudy days C. in shallow water under sunlight D. in shallow water under waterside trees. 34. After entering the business world, the author found _________. A. it easy to think like a customer - 171 - B. his father’s fishing advice inspiring C. his first boss’s sales ideas reasonable D. it difficult to sell services to poor people 35. This passage most likely comes from _________. A. a fishing guide B. a popular sales book C. a novel on childhood D. a millionaire’s biography 【解析】 试题分析:本文叙述了作者通过以父亲教授他钓鱼时,要像鱼一样思考,学会钓鱼的道理,告诉大家从事商业销售时要像消费者一样去思考。 31. A细节理解题。根据第一段的But that wasn’t very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn’t catch anything. I usually got pretty upset. 可知作者感到难过,是因为他捉不到一条鱼。故选A。 32. D推理判断题。根据The more I understood fish, the more I became effective at finding and catching them.“我越了解鱼,我越能有效的找到鱼,抓住鱼”可知此处父亲的意思是要我了解钓鱼的方法,故选D。 33. D推理判断题。根据That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water可知鱼喜欢在浅水里,不喜欢在深水里,故排除AB两项。根据water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. Yet, fish don’t have any eyelids(眼皮)and the sun hurts their eyes.可知鱼喜欢呆在阴凉处,不喜欢呆在阳光直射的地方,故排除C项。D项水边树下的浅水处,是鱼喜欢呆的地方,故此处更有可能发现鱼。故选D。 34. B推理判断题。根据I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers“我逐渐了解我们需要像消费者一样去思考”这与父亲的“You need to think like a fish”相似,因此这是父亲的话给他的启发。故选B。 35. B推理判断题。根据It is not an easy job. I will show you how in the following chapters“这不是一份轻松的工作,我将在下面几章里向你们展示如何去做”,故推断这是在教授大家如何去销售的书。故选B。 【考点定位】故事类短文阅读。 【名师点睛】本文设计的问题主要是推理判断题。通过贯穿全文的“You need to think like a fish”通过讲述了钓鱼的方法,介绍了销售的技巧。充分考查了学生的语篇理解能力以及上下文的语境理解能力。第35题,具有引出下文的作用,也充分暗示了本文的主题。 7.【2015·广东】D It was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics. In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the 'decline of class' and 'classless society' in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class. But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification. One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice, Most people said this accent sounded 'educated' and 'soft'. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional(地区的)city accents. These accents were seen as 'common' and 'ugly'. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice. In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song 'Common People' puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may 'want to live like common people' they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life. 41. A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain ________. - 171 - A. it is time to end class distinction B. most people belong to middle class C. it is easy to recognize a person’s class D. people regard themselves socially different 42. The word stratification in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________. A. variety B. most people belong to middle class C. authority D. qualification 43. The study in the US showed that BBC English was regarded as _________. A. regional B. educated C. prejudiced D. unattractive 44. British attitudes towards accent _________. A. have a long tradition B. are based on regional status C. are shared by the Americans D. have changed in recent years 45. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The middle class is expanding B. A person’s accent reflects his class C. Class is a key part of British society D. Each class has unique characteristics. 【解析】 试题分析:这篇短文给我们讲述了在英国社会中,阶级划分是重要的一部分。作者在短文中给我们介绍了两项调查,通过调查的结果我们可以看到,英国社会里的阶级划分没有消失,它是英国社会重要的一部分。 41.D细节理解题。根据短文第三段的内容可知,关于“阶级消亡”的说法,在英国对大众进行了一个调查,结果发现90%的人们仍然把自己划分在一定的阶层中;73%的人认为阶级是英国社会一个必不可少的部分。由此可知人们仍然认为他们在社会中是有区别的,故选D。 42.B词义猜测题。根据短文第三段的内容可知,根据一项关于英国社会阶级是否开始消亡的调查可知,绝大多数人仍然认为英国社会中存在不同的阶级,这是英国社会中重要的一部分。由此可知,英国人好像对阶级划分非常热衷。stratification划分,跟B选项是同义词,故选B。 43.D细节理解题。根据第四段中However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least.可知,美国关于英语口音的调查结果正好和英国的调查结果相反,他们认为一些地方口音是最吸引人的,而BBC的英语是最不吸引人的,故选D。 44.D推理判断题。根据短文的最后一段的内容可知,In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents,可见,现在英国人们对待口音的态度开始改变了。故选D。 45.C主旨大意题。这篇短文给我们讲述了在英国社会中,阶级划分是重要的一部分。作者在短文中给我们介绍了两项调查,其中一项告诉我们大多数人们觉得阶级是英国社会必不可少的一部分;另一项调查是关于人们说好的口音,英国和美国的调查结果正好相反,也说明了英国阶级划分的根源非常深。由此可知C选项:阶级是英国社会中的一个重要部分符合短文的大意。故选C。 【考点定位】文化类短文阅读。 【名师点睛】这篇短文介绍了英国社会中存在的阶级划分这一现象,通过调查数据,论证这一话题。短文属于中上难度,主要考查学生的语篇理解的能力,以及词义猜测、推理判断及概括主旨大意的能力。学生们在平时的英语学习中,要具备对一些说英语国家的文化背景知识,这对他们做题是有好处的。 8.【2015·陕西】D Parents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades. Other forms of prenatal involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child's class, also fail - 171 - to help, according to the most recent study on the topic. The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(养育子女) where schools except them to act as partners in their children's education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn. Kaith Robinson, the author of the study, said, "I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance. One of the things that was consistently negative was parents' help with homework." Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the task." They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but they're still offering advice." Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20% of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant. Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because "children with good academic success do have involved parents ", admitted Robinson. But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success." A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives." 58. The underlined expression "parental involvement " in Paragraph 1 probably means . A. parents' expectation on children's health B. parents' participation in children's education C. parents' control over children's life D. parents' plan for children's future 59. What is the major finding of Robinson's study ? A. Modern parents raise children in a more scientific way. B. Punishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging. C. Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected. D. Parents are not able to help with children’s homework. 60. The example of Asian-American parents implies that parents should . A. help children realize the importance of schooling B. set a specific life goal for their children C. spend more time improving their own lives D. take a more active part in school management 【解析】 试题分析:文章介绍和很多人预期不同的是父母过度地参与孩子的教育未必有好的效果。父母应该帮助孩子意识到学校教育的重要性。 58.句意理解题。根据第一段的句子:Other forms of parental involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child’s class,可知“parental involvement”指的是“父母参与孩子的教育”,故选B。 59.细节理解题。根据文章第二段的句子:but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids’ education that leads to declines in their academic performance.可知Robinson的研究发现是父母参与孩子的教育没有预料的那么有效,故选C。 60.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的句子:They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives.可知美国父母的例子暗示父母应该帮助孩子意识到学校教育的重要性,故选A。 【考点定位】教育类阅读理解 【名师点睛】这篇文章内容是学生比较熟悉的而且和他们的生活有密切联系的,主旨大意很好理解。这篇文章篇幅适中。主要考查的是细节理解题和句意理解题,考生在通读文章的基础上,注意到细节理解不难找出答案。 9.【2015·四川】C Across Britain, burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers, But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year. Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours, they would earn as much as$172,000 a year. The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income £30,000 more than the Prime Minister earns. By analysing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week,40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate and 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,000 mothers with children - 171 - under 18,it found that ,on most days, mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm. To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour, it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at £48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jobs”,with psychologist(心理学家)a close second. It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional(情感的) demand as the hardest thing about motherhood. Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends. The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother’s Day. The emotional ,physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing(投入)in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent. 38.How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister? A.£30,000. B.£142,000. C.£172,000. D.£202,000. 39.The biggest challenge for most mothers is from. A. emotional demand B. low pay for work C. heavy workload D. lack of training 40.What is stressed in the last paragraph? A. Mothers’importance shows in family all year long. B. The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile. C. Mothers’devotion to children can hardly be calculated. D. Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return. 41.What can we conclude from the study? A. Mothers’working hours should be largely reduced. B. Mothers should balance their time for work and rest. C. Mothers’labour is of a higher value than it is realised. D .Mothers should be freed from housework for social life. 【解析】:这是一篇写在母亲节的文章,在母亲节这一天,每个人都会对母亲做出一些事,比如一束花等等,但是作者认为,母亲这一职业值得全年的关注,因为它包含太多。 38.B细节理解题。根据文章的they would earn as much as$172,000 a year.以及This would make their yearly income £3000 more than the Prime Minister earns.可知,总理的工资是172000-30000=142000。故选择B。 39.A 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段的It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional(情感的) demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.可知,选择A。 40.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段的The emotional ,physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness.可知,选择B,指母亲付出的牺牲是巨大的,但是又是值得的。 41.C 推理判断题。根据文章第一段的But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.可知,作者认为母亲的重要性应该得到更多的关注,故选择C。 【考点定位】考查说明文阅读 【名师点睛】本篇是一篇说明文,说明了母亲这一职业的伟大。阅读说明文的重点在于读懂它说明的事理。说明文阅读中要求考生要特别注意一些数字等,如第38题。除此之外,还需要抓住关键词、中心词,迅速在文中进行定位,解决细节题,如39、40题。最后,对文章的内容要了解,通常主题在第一段最后出现,所以考生要善于把握主题。 10.【2015·天津】D Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave — and mighty (强大的) forces will come to your aid. Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim - 171 - until I got my feet on the ground again. Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize. Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet(子弹) — and stopped him cold.” Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks (挫折) and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds. So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed. 51. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past? A. He faced huge risks. B. He lacked mighty forces. C. Fear prevented him from trying. D. Failure blocked his way to success. 52.What is the implied meaning of the underlined part? A. Swallow more than you can digest. B. Act slightly above your abilities. C. Develop more mysterious powers. D. Learn to make creative decisions. 53.

When children are little we make them read aloud, before the teacher and other children, so that we can be sure they “know” all the words they are reading. This means that when they don’t know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously. One day soon after school had started, I said to them, “Now I’m going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, that’s enough for me. Also I’m not going to ask you what words mean. “ The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl, who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me, she said slowly and seriously, Mr Holt, do you really mean that?” I said just as seriously, “I mean every word of it. During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her desk, From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was. I said to myself, “It can’t be,” and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she was reading Moby Dick , in edition with woodcuts. I said, “Don’t you find parts of it rather heavy going?” She answered, Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part. “ This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is,an exciting, joyous adventure. Find something, dive into it, take the good parts, skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, go on to something else. How different is our mean-spirited, picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of “understanding” that can be dug out of a book. 41. According to the passage, children’s fear and dislike of books may result from________. A. reading little and thinking little B. reading often and adventurously C. being made to read too much D. being made to read aloud before others 42. The teacher told his students to read______ . A. for enjoyment B. for knowledge C. for a larger vocabulary D. for higher scores in exams 43. Upon hearing the teacher’s talk, the children probably felt that________. A. it sounded stupid B. it was not surprising at all C. it sounded too good to be true D. it was no different from other teachers' talk 44. Which of the following statements about the girl is TRUE according to the passage? A. She skipped over those easy parts while reading. B. She had a hard time finishing the required reading tasks. C. She learned to appreciate some parts of the difficult books. D. She turned out to be a top student after coming to this school. 45. From the teacher's point of view,_________ . A. children cannot tell good parts from bad parts while reading B. children should be left to decide what to read and how to read C. reading is never a pleasant and inspiring experience in school D. reading involves understanding every little piece of information 【解析】 - 171 - 试题分析:作者认为阅读应该是一种快乐,而不是强迫性的阅读,强调通过快乐阅读培养阅读习惯。 41. D细节理解题 题目的意思是根据文段孩子们害怕或者是不喜欢读书是因____。根据第一段第四行“This means that when they don’t know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone”. 意为这意味着当他们不知道单词的时候,他们会犯错,而且是在所有的人面前犯错,这会给他们带来一些害怕。 42. A 细节理解题 根据第二段作者的话“Now I’m going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before. I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it, that’s enough for me. Also I’m not going to ask you what words mean.”“,but I want you to read them only for pleasure.” 意为“现在我要说一些关于阅读的事情,你可能从来没有听说过一个老师说。我希望你读很多书,但今年,我想让你读书只为乐趣。我不想问你问题,是否理解文章。如果你足够理解一个喜欢这本书,想去读它,这对我来说已经足够了。我也不想问你单词的意思。”在这里enjoyment,enjoy和pleasure是同义词。所以答案选A 43. C细节理解题 根据“The children sat stunned and silent. 孩子们震惊和沉默地坐着。”第三段第四行“seriously, ‘Mr. Holt, do you really mean that?’”不能得出答案。当老师说了这些话之后,孩子们都很震惊耶,很奇怪,所以他会确定问老师是不是真的这样?这表明学生是很不太相信的。答案选项的it sounded too good to be true,意为听起来太好了以致不相信这是真的。 44. C细节理解题这种题目是判断正误题,答题时一定要细心选择是错误还是正确的。此题选择的是正确的,也就意味着有3个是错误,只有一个是正确的。根据第四段最后一句话“She answered, Oh, sure, but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part. “她回答说,哦,当然,但我只是跳过这些部分,继续读下一个好的部分。“可以得出答案是这个女孩知道如何欣赏这些文章。 45. B细节理解题 四个选项的意思分别是A孩子在阅读的时候不能够区别好的部分以及不好的部分;B应该留给学生孩子自己去选择,读什么以及如何读;C在学校阅读永远不会是一个愉快和启发性的体验;D阅读需要理解每一部分的信息。其实根据常识可以判断C和D是错误的,然后再结合全文大意,作者认为孩子不应该是强迫去读,要让他们自己读,选择材料读。 【考点定位】这是一篇记叙文。 【名师点睛】记叙文的文章相对而言是比较容易做的,细节题占多数,但需要的是一个细心。答案都是在文章中可以找到,必须一个一个选项匹配排除,最终才能够得出最佳答案。当遇到答案比较接近的时候,尤其需要细心,比如说41题的CD选项,两者都用到了being made to read。其实这种表达也间接说明了答案就是在两个中选择一个。 12.【2015·浙江】B Graph can be a very useful tool for conveying information especially numbers, percentages,and other data . A graph gives the reader a picture to interpret. That can be a lot more pages and pages and pages explaining the data . Graphs can seem frightening, but reading a graph is a lot like reading a story. The graph has a title ,a main idea ,and supporting details .You can use your active reading skills to analyze and understand graphs just like any other text . Most graphs have a few basic parts: a caption or introduction paragraph, a title , a legend or key, and labeled axes. An active reader looks at each part of the graph before trying to interpret the data. Captions will usually tell you where the data came from (for example, a scientific study of 400 African elephants from 1980 to 2005). Captions usually summarize the author's main point as well. The title is very important. It tells you the main idea of the graph by stating what kind of information is being shown. A legend, also called a key,is a guide to the symbols and colors used in the graph. Many graphs, including bar graphs and line graphs, have two axes that form a corner, Usually these axes are the left side and the bottom of the graph .Each axis will always have a label. The label tells you what each axis measures. Bar Graphs A bar graph has two axes and uses bars to show amounts. In Graph 1 ,we see that the x-axis shows grades that students earned, and the y-axis shows bow many students earned each grade .You can see that 6 students earned an A because the bar for A stretches up to 6 on the - 171 - vertical measurement. There is a lot of information we can get from a simple graph like this(See Graph 1). Line Graphs A line graph looks similar to a bar graph ,but instead of Bars, it plots points and connects them with a line .It has the same parts as a bar graph – two labeled axes –and can be read the same way .To read a line graph, it’s important to focus on the points of intersection rather than the line segments between the points, This type of graph is most commonly used to show how something changes over time. Here is a graph that charts how far a bird flies during the first Five days of its spring migration (See Graph 2). The unit of measurement for the x-axis is days. The unit of measurement for the y-axis is kilometers. Thus we can see that ,on the first day, the pipit flew 20 kilometers. The line segment goes up between Day 1 and Day 2,which means that the bird flew farther on Day 2.If the line segment angled dawn, as between Day 4 and Day 5,it would mean that the bird flew fewer kilometers than the day before. This line graph is a quick, visual way to tell the reader about the bird’s migration. Pie Graphs A typical pie graph looks like a circular pie. The circle is divided into sections, and each section represents a fraction of the data. The graph is commonly used to show percentages; the whole pie represents l00 percent, so each piece is a fraction of the whole. A pie graph might include a legend,or it might use icons or labels within each slice. This pie graph shows on month’s expense, (See Graph 3 ). Food $ 25 Movies $ 12 Clothing $ 36 Savings $ 20 Books $ 7 46. When used in a graph,a legend is_____ A. a guide to the symbols and colors B. an introduction paragraph C. the main idea D. the data 47. What is the total number of students who earned a C or better ? A .4. B.6. C.10. D.20 . 48. The bird covered the longest distance on _____ A. Day 1 B. Day 2 C. Day 3 D. Day 4 49. Which of the following cost Amy most ? A. Food. B. Books C. Movies D. Clothing. 【解析】 试题分析:这是一篇说明文介绍图表的类型以及相关作用,通过对条形图、线形图和饼形图的介绍,让学生学会读图,运用英语解决实际问题。 46.A 根据第三段可以得出答案,第三段出现了两次legend,第一次是在第一行a legend or key ,第二次是在第六行A legend, also called a key,is a guide to the symbols and colors used in the graph.” 一个图例,也被称为一个关键,是一个指导图中使用的符号和颜色。“而且答案直接可以在第六行找到,与答案选项表述一样a guide to the symbols and colors。 47.D 根据表述”In Graph 1 ,we see that the x-axis shows gradesthat students earned, and the y-axis shows bow manystudents earned each grade .You can see that 6 studentsearned an A because the bar for A stretches up to 6 on thevertical measurement. 在图1中,我们看到X轴显示学生获得的等级,Y轴显示每个等级的学生数。可以看到,6的学生获得了A,因为在它延伸到6垂直测量。“可以得出答案。另外其实不需要看文字说明,直接看图读图就可以得出答案。C以上就是包含A,B,C,其中A为6, B 为10,C为4,所以答案为20 - 171 - 48.C 不需要看文字说明,直接看图读图就可以得出答案。从曲线图可以得出答案是Day3。 49.D不需要看文字说明,直接看图读图就可以得出答案。 从扇形图可以得出Clothing占比例最多。 【考点定位】说明文 【名师点睛】初步尝试考查解读图表数据能力,以满足考生进一步学习和社会实践需求。这份阅读虽然文字内容很多,而且涉及到了不少的专业术语表达。但是由于图已经说明了一切,所以不需要认真的读文章。但是在读图之前必须要看一看它的一些备注说明,也就是说起点是多少,每一格代表什么,以免出错。另外这种题目还涉及到一种多学科的能力,比如说文科政治、历史和地理会经常出现一些图表。 13.【2015·浙江】D In 2004 ,when my daughter Becky was ten , she and my husband ,Joe, were united in their desire for a dog . As for me , I shared none of their canine lust. But why , they pleaded. “Because I don’t have time to take care of a dog.” But we’ll do it.”Really? You’re going to walk the dog? Feed the dog? Bathe the dog?” Yes, yes , and yes .”I don’t believe you .” We will . We promise. They didn’t . From day two (everyone wanted to walk the cute puppy that first day ) , neither thought to walk the dog . While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots , to schedule her vet appointments , to feed and clean her , Misty knew this on day one . As she looked up at the three new humans in her life (small, medium, and large) , she calculated ,”The medium one is the sucker in the pack .” Quickly, she and I developed something very similar to a Vulcan mind meld (心灵融合) . She’d look at me with those sad brown eyes of hers , beam her need , and then wait , trusting I would understand — which , strangely , I almost always did . In no time , she became my feet as I read , and splaying across my stomach as I watched television . Even so , part of me continued to resent walking duty . Joe and Becky had promised. Not fair , I’d balk (不心甘情愿地做) silently as she and I walked . “Not fair , ” I’ d loudly remind anyone within earshot upon our return home . Then one day — January 1, 2007 , to be exact — my husband ‘ s doctor uttered an unthinkable word : leukemia ( 白血病) .With that , I spent eight to ten hours a day with Joe in the hospital , doing any- 77 -thing and everything I could to ease his discomfort. During those six months of hospitalizations, Becky, 12 at the time, adjusted to other adults being in the house when she returned from school. My work colleagues adjusted to my taking off at a moment's notice for medical emergencies. Every part of my life changed; no part of my old routine remained. Save one: Misty still needed walking. At the beginning, when friends offered to take her through her paces, I declined because I knew they had their own households to deal with. As the months went by,I began to realize that I actually wanted to walk Misty. The walk in the morning before I headed to the hospital was a quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day's medical drama unfolded. The evening walk was a time to shake off the day's upsets and let the worry tracks in my head go to white noise. When serious illness visits your household, it's , not just your daily routine and your assumptions about the future that are no longer familiar. Pretty much everyone you acts differently. Not Misty. Take her for a walk, and she had no interest in Joe's blood counts or ’one marrow test results. On the street or in the park, she had only one thing on her mind: squirrels! She Was so joyous that even on the worst days, she could make me smile. On a daily basis she reminded me that life goes on. After Joe died in 2009,Misty slept on his pillow. I'm grateful一to a point. The truth is, after years of balking, I've come to enjoy m’ walks with Misty. As I watch her chase after a squirrel, throwing her whole being into the here-and-now of an exercise that has never once ended in victory, she reminds me, too, that no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future , there's almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment. 55. why didn't the writer agree to raise a dog at the beginning of the story?

B 细节理解题 根据第三段第二行“While I was slow to accept that I would be the one to keep track of her shots, to schedule her vet appointments, to feed and clean her“作者慢慢地意识到她要去接父女俩的手尾,比如说安排见宠物医生等。这意味着最终将由她来照顾这一只狗。 56. D 猜词题,根据这3个单词的意思不难知道small指的是作者的女儿, medium指的是作者,一个woman; and large指的是作者的丈夫。根据后文他们有了心灵相通不难得出答案小狗认为这个妇女(也就是作者)是最信任的和最好心的。学优高考网 57. A 推理题,根据第三段“Misty knew this on day one它在第一天就知道“和 “she calculated它在计算”可以得出答案这只狗是非常聪明的。另外也可以根据意思排除选项BCD。B. Misty could solve math problems就算文章中出现了一个计算的词语,但也不能够得出能够解答数学题的结论,而且根据常识也可以把它排除。C. the writer was a slow learner这个内容没有提及,D. no one walked Misty the first day这个选项的答案,也原文“它在第一天就知道了”是不一致的。 58. B 细节理解题,根据第六段第一句话“Then one day — January 1, 2007 , to be exact — my husband ‘ s doctor uttered an unthinkable word : leukemia ( 白血病) . 然后,2007年1月1日,确切地说是丈夫的医生宣布了丈夫得了白血病”,说明这一天是一个转折点,所以可以得出答案为B。 59. C 细节理解题,根据第八段第二行“quiet, peaceful time to gather my thoughts or to just be before the day’s medical drama unfolded安静,安静的时间来收集我的想法 “ ,所有的这一切都是精神上的一些安慰,所以答案选择The walk provided her with spiritual comfort.这个散步给她带来了心灵的安慰。 60. C 推理题,根据文章最后一句话no matter how harsh the present or unpredictable the future , there's almost always some measure of joy to be extracted from the moment.不管现在是多么困难或者将来是多么的难以预计,总是有一些提取快乐的方法。此题易错选A,虽然这句话是正确的。但是这篇文章并不是在说在困难时期享受快乐。 【考点定位】记叙文 【名师点睛】这种记叙文,一定要理清作者的思路。往往 - 171 - 作者经历的事情是一波几折的,最初的想法和最后的想法是不一样的。比如说最初她不想养这只宠物狗,但是最后就是这一只狗陪伴了她,让她得到了一些体会。 14.【2015·重庆】B In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead,with more tactics(策略). One tactic involves where to display the goods. Foe example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food(垃圾食品)later in their trip. In department stores, section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section:while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later. Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wine went up. When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decision in the first few second upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the poll through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses. 40. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section? A. To save customers times. B. To show they are high quality foods. C. To help sell junk food. D. To sell them at discount prices. 41. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy? A. Opening the store early in the morning. B. Displaying British wines next to French ones. C. Inviting customers to play music. D. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread. 42. What is the California builder’s story intended to prove? A. The house structure is a key factor customers consider. B. The more costly the house is, the better it sells. C. An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste. D. A good first impression increases sales. 43. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers. B. To introduces how businesses have grown from the past. C. To report researches on customer behavior. D.

Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries. History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries, Unique works of this kind are different from today’s popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future. In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because“the general principles of taste are uniform(不变的) in human nature,”the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries. Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist. 52. According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativism? A. It introduces different cultural values. B. It explains the history of artistic works. C. It relates artistic values to local conditions. D. It excites the human mind throughout the world. 53. In Paragraph 2, the artists are mentioned in order to show that _____ . A. great works of art can go beyond national boundaries B. history gives art works special appeal to set them apart C. popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great arts D. great artists are skilled at combining various cultures 54. According to Hume, some works of art can exist for centuries because_____ . A .they are results of scientific study B. they establish some general principles of art C. they are created by the world’s greatest artists D. they appeal to unchanging features of human nature 55. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage? A. Are Artistic Values Universal? B. Are Popular Arts Permanent? C. Is Human Nature Uniform? D. Is Cultural Relativism Scientific? - 171 - 【解析】 试题分析: 本文是说明文,主要介绍了根据文化相对主义,艺术作品在永恒受欢迎的原因是人类的审美具有共同性,并且就此展开说明。 52.C 推断题。根据第一段第一句话可知根据相对主义,艺术作品就是把艺术的价值与当地的社会经济条件结合在一块,故选C项。 53.A 推断题。根据第二段提到第二行和第三行提到可知不会把莫扎特与日本的音乐进行比较,正如日本的画作与巴黎的画廊进行比较,艺术作品是没有国界的,故选A项。 54.D 推断题。根据第三段第一句话提到可知Davide曾辩论到风格的原则上是没有变化的,所以一些艺术是可能会永生的,故选D项。 55.A 主题标题。本文主要从相对论的角度来说,艺术的价值只能反应当时的社会经济,但作者提出不同的观点,故选A项。 【考点定位】文化类阅读。 【名师点睛】文章内容较为简单,集中考查细节题,对此类题型,考生可以首先从问题中找到关键词然后以此为线索,运用略读及查阅的技巧在文中迅速寻找这一细节找到后再把这一部分内容仔细阅读一遍,仔细比较所给选项与文中细节的细微区别。52.53.54这三道题分别属于第一段第二段和第三段这个递进的原则,所以定位段落就比较容易而最后一题属于主旨标题,把握整体,提取中心,所以这个阅读理解整体来说目标性比较强。 17.【2015·安徽】C As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how. In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood thatthe computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it. In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)". According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing. 64. The passage begins with two questions to ______. A. introduce the main topic B. show the author's altitude C. describe how to use the Interne. D. explain how to store information 65. What can we learn about the first experiment? A. Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer. B. The two groups remembered the information equally well. C. The first group did not try to remember the formation. D. The second group did not understand the information. 66. In transactive memory, people ______. A. keep the information in mind B. change the quantity of information C. organize information like a computer D. remember how to find the information 67. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research? A. Weare using memory differently. B. We arebecoming more intelligent. C. We have poorer memories than before. D. We need a better way to access information. - 171 - 【答案】 64. A 65. C 66. D 67. A 【解析】 试题分析:文章主要讲的是互联网给人类的记忆带来的影响。互联网使用者越来越依赖互联网储存信息,人们这样做是否会丧失记忆事物的能力呢?专家怀疑互联网可能正在改变人们的记忆内容和记忆的方式。 64.

Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust. Food can also have a specific meaning, and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions. The foods we eat—and when and how we eat them—are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural (农村的) and urban areas within one country. Sharing bread, whether during a special occasion (时刻) or at the family dinner table, is a common symbol of togetherness. Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests. Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread, so this tradition hits its roots in the custom of sharing bread. Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations. In the southern United States, pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity (兴旺) in the New Year. In Greece, people share a special cake called vasilopita. A coin is put into the cake, which signifies (预示) success in the New Year for the person who receives it. Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child, and food can play a significant role. In China, when a baby is one month old, families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red-colored eggs to guests. In many cultures, round foods such as grapes, bread, and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity. Nutrition is necessary for life, so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world. 72. According to the passage, sharing bread______. A. indicates a lack of food B. can help to develop unity C. is a custom unique to rural areas D. has its roots in birthday celebrations 73. What does the coin in vasilopita signify for its receiver in the New Year? A. Trust. B. Success. C. Health. D. Togetherness. 74. The author explains the role of food in celebrations by______. A. using examples B. making comparisons C. analyzing causes D. describing processes 75. What is the passage mainly about? A. The custom of sharing food. B. The specific meaning of food. - 171 - C. The role of food in ceremonies. D. The importance of food in culture. 【答案】 72. B 73. B 74. A 75. D 【解析】 试题分析:文章主要讲的是食物和文化的关系。不同的文化里包含着不同的饮食传统和庆祝方式。食物通过两种基本的方式在扮演着沟通的角色。 72. B 细节理解题。根据第一段“Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust.”可知,分享食物可以促进团结和建立信任。 73.

Here are some letters from our readers. ■Yes, many cyclists behave dangerously. Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists. But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders. People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to the mobile phone, quite unaware of what is going on around them. They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere. The rest of us have to evade (避让) them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision. The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be, at least for the moment, in worlds of their own that are, to them, much more important than the welfare of others. ——Michael Horan ■I love the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists (Viewpoints, May 29). I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads. I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me. The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used. The police do nothing. What a laugh they are! The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets, fluorescent (发荧光的) jacket and lights at night and in the morning they should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them. ——Carol Harvey ■Cyclists jump on and off pavements (which are meant for pedestrians), ride at speed along the pavements, and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red. I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him. Other road users, including horse riders, manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists? It's about time they had to be registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle, or cause an accident, at least they can be treated and there might be an opportunity to - 171 - claim. ——JML Write to Viewpoints of the newspaper. 56.Michael Horan wrote the letter mainly to show that _______. A. drivers should be polite to cyclists B. road accidents can actually be avoided C. sine pedestrians are a threat to road safety D. walking while using phones hurts one's eyes 57.Carol Harvey suggests that cyclists should _______. A. be provided with enough roads B. be asked to ride on their own lanes C. be made to pay less tax for cycling D. be fined for laughing at policemen 58.What is a complaint of JML? A. Very few drivers are insured. B. Cyclists ride fast on pavements. C. Pedestrians go through red traffic lights. D. Horse riders disrespect other road users. 59.The underlined word "they" in the third letter refers to ______. A. accidents B. vehicles C. pedestrians D. cyclists 60.The three letters present viewpoints on _______. A. real source of road danger B. ways to improve road facilities C. measures to punish road offences D. increased awareness of road rules 【答案】 56.C 57.B 58.B 59.D 60.A 【解析】 试题分析:本文围绕一个主题展开一场争论——谁才是马路安全隐患的威胁。 56.C;细节理解题。根据第一段中的最后一句话:But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders.(但是,路人可能才是更严重的罪犯)可知Michael Horan的观点是,路人对道路安全存在威胁,故选C 57.B;细节理解题。根据第八段的开头:The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets.可知Carol Harvey建议骑自行车的人应该在他们应该走的车道去骑。故选B 58.B;细节理解题。根据倒数第四段第一句话:Cyclists jump on and off pavements(which are meant for pedestrians),ride at speed along the pavement, and think they have special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red可知JML抱怨骑自行车的人骑的太快,对道路安全产生隐患,故选B 59.D;细节推理题。最后一段说到:It’s about time they had to be registered and insured, so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle, or cause an accident, at least they can be tranced and there might be an opportunity to claim.JML希望对自行车拥有者登记,当他们撞到行人或者车辆、制造出车祸的时候,他们能够被追查到,所以They在此指的是cyclists。故选D 60.A;主旨大意提。根据文章的标题和所有读者的来信不难发现这篇文章主要是围绕到底谁(自行车或者行人)才是道路安全存在的隐患。故选A学优高考网 【考点定位】社会现象类短文阅读。 【名师点睛】本文考查社会现象类短文阅读,要求考生根据作者的细节描述掌握这一社会现象的起因、结果及影响,然后做题,进行归纳。这篇文章旨在给出了一个议题,让人们给出讨论,意见以及看法,要求学生能够通过字里行间的细节描写找出人们对这个议题想法,例如第一段的第二句:But pedestrians - 171 - are probably the worse offenders.就给出Michael Horan的看法,因此方便了我们做出第56题,所以在做这种文章时一定得抓住表达作者或者他人态度或观点的句子。 20.【2015·湖南】C Have your parents ever inspected your room to see if you cleaned it properly? Imagine having your entire houses, garage, and yard inspected at any time -- with no warning. Inspections were a regular part of lighthouse (灯塔) living, and a keeper's reputation depended on results. A few times each year, an inspector arrived to look over the entire light station. The inspections were supposed to be a surprise, but keeper sometimes had advance notice. Once lighthouses had telephones, keepers would call each other to warn that the inspector was approaching. After boats began flying special flags nothing the inspector aboard, the keeper's family made it a game to see who could notice the boat first. As soon as someone spotted the boat, everyone would do last-minute tidying and change into fancy clothes. The keeper then scurried to put on his dress uniform and cap. Children of keepers remember inspectors wearing white gloves to run their fingers over door frames and windowsills looking for dust. Despite the serious nature of inspections, they resulted in some funny moments. Betty Byrnes remembered when her mother did not have time to wash all the dishes before an inspection. At the time, people did not have dishwashers in their homes. In an effort to clean up quickly, Mrs. Byrnes tossed all the dishes into a big bread pan, covered them with a cloth and stuck them in the oven. If the inspector opened the oven door, it would look like bread was baking. he never did. One day, Glenn Furst's mother put oil on the kitchen floor just before the inspector entered their house. Like floor wax, the oil made the floors shiny and helped protect the wood. This time, though, she used a little too much oil. When the inspector extended his hand to greet Glenn's mother, he slipped on the freshly oiled surface. "He came across that floor waving his arms like a young bird attempting its first flight," Glenn late wrote. After he steadied himself, he shook Glenn's mother's hand, and the inspection continued as though nothing had happened. 66.What does Paragraph I tell us about the inspection at the light station? A. It was carried out once a year. B. It was often announced in advance. C. It was important for the keeper's fame. D. It was focused on the garage and yard. 67.The family began making preparations immediately after ______. A. one of the members saw the boat B. a warning call reached the lighthouse C. the keeper put on the dress uniform and cap D. the inspector flew special flags in the distance 68.Mrs. Byrnes put the dishes in the oven because this would ______. A. result in some fun B. speed up washing them C. make her home look tidy D. be a demand from the inspector 69.If the inspector had opened the oven door, he would have seen _______. A. an empty pan B. many clean dishes C. pieces of baked bread D. a cloth covering something 70.The inspector waved his arms ______. A. to try his best to keep steady B. to show his satisfaction with the floor C. to extend a warm greeting to Glenn's mother D. to express his intention to continue the inspection 【答案】 66.C - 171 - 67.A 68.C 69.D 70.A 【解析】 试题分析:本文讲述了如何利用各种方法应对巡视员的突袭。 66.C;细节理解题。根据第一段的倒数第四行和倒数第三行:and a keeper’s reputation depended on the results.(看守人的名声取决于结果的好坏)可知,故选C 67.A;细节理解题。根据第二段的第三句话:As soon as someone spotted the boat, everyone would do last-minute tidying and change into fancy clothes.可知在建庭成员中一旦有人发现船的到来,全家人就开始快速准备。故选A 68.C;细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的第二句话:Betty Byrnes remembered when her mother did not have time to wash all the dishes before an inspection. 可知没有时间在检查之前去洗所有的碗,所以Mrs.Byrnes将所有的碗都丢进了烤箱避免被inspector发现。故选C 69.D;细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的倒数第三行:Mrs.Byrnes toss all the dishes into a big bread pan, covered them with a cloth, and stuck them in the oven.可知当inspector打开烤箱的时候他只会看到一块盖着布的某物,故选D 70.A;细节推理题。根据最后一段倒数第三行:After he steadied himself, he shook Glenn’s mother’s hand, and the inspection continued as though nothing had happened.可知inspector挥动着他的双手保持平衡。故选A 【考点定位】社会生活类短文阅读。 【名师点睛】社会生活类的文章相对而言是比较容易做的,细节题占多数,需要的是一个细心。注意事情发展的先后顺序和发展的情节,理清作者的思路,以此得出答案。有时可以找出原句,有时可能需要理解,根据前后文推断,进行一个一个选项匹配排除,最终得出最佳答案。 21.【2015·新课标全国II】C More students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年) before going to university. It used to be the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year. This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS). That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said. But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship – young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to£15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacating periods,” he said. 29. What do we learn about the gap year from the text? A. It is flexible in length. B. It is a time for relaxation C. It is increasingly popular D. It is required by universities 30. According to Tony Higgins. students taking a gap year ____. A. are better prepared for college studies B. know a lot more about their future job C. are more likely to leave university in debt D. have a better chance to enter top universities 31. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon? A. He’s puzzled - 171 - A. He’s worried B. He’s surprised C. He’s annoyed 32.What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics? A. Attend additional courses. B. Make plans for the new term C. Earn money for their education D. Prepare for their graduate studies 【答案】 29. C 30.A 31. B 32.C 【解析】 试题分析:本文提到大学的学费高使得很多大学生在上大学学前就要先去挣钱然后再上大学学习。这样的好处是让学生更珍惜大学的时光,更成熟有责任感。但是也给人们带来了思考。 29.C 推理判断题。由短文第一段More students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年) before going to university.可知,过间隔年学生比以前多了,第三段第一句话That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year.可知体验间隔年数量上升了14.7%,说明越来越受到欢迎,因此选C。 30.A 细节理解题。由人名定位到短文第三段。Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course.

It can also be full of challenges, setbacks and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desires—that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place. This tension between what we feel we can have and "what wre're seemingly able to have is the niggling suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it's easier to just give up. But we're never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is us—the real us. It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities. If you drop that, you begin to feel a little "dead" inside because you're dropping "you". So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck, how do we break these patterns? - 171 - Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today's challenges. While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mind—or the minds of those close to us—usually says we can't. That isn't a reason to stop, it's just the mind, that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before. It's all about starting simple and doing it now. Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little, or large, release from the jail of your mind and you'll be on your way. 68.It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should . A.slow down and live a simple life B.be careful when we choose to change C.stick to our dreams under any circumstances D.be content with what we already have 69.What is the key to breaking the old patterns? A. To focus on every detail.B. To decide and take immediate action. C. To listen to those close to us. D. To think twice before we act. 70.Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph? A. Escape from your punishmentB. Realization of your dreams. C. Freedom from your tension. D. Reduction of your expectations. 71.What does the author intend to tell us? A.It's easier than we think to get what we want. B. It's important to learn to accept sufferings in life. C. It's impractical to change our way of thinking. D. It's harder than we expect to follow a new course. 【解析】 试题分析:本文是一篇说明文,作者介绍了在我们想要放弃的时候改变这种模式的一种方法就是重新选择目标并且迅速作出决定。 68.C细节理解题。文章第一段第三句Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desires说不管在什么情况下,我们仍然有着梦想、希望和欲望。以及第二段最后一句If you drop that, you begin to feel a little "dead" inside because you're dropping "you".如果你放弃了,你的内在会变得了无生机,因为你放下了你自己。故选C 69.B细节理解题。根据倒数第三段第一句Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time.可以知道为了打破旧格局需要决定一个新目标并且立刻做出决定。故选B 70.C分析推断题。根据划线句子可知其本意是逃出你内心的牢笼。结合上文中在过多思考之前快速决定和行动可以推测这个划线句子是指要从过多考虑的焦虑中解放自己。故选C 71.A分析推断题。从全文来看,作者主要是想要强调果断的行动而不是空想来实现自己的梦想和欲望,故选A.比起想要成功,行动更加容易。 【考点定位】说明文阅读。 【名师点睛】说明文的文章更相对而言是比较容易做的,答案都是在文章中可以找到或者通过文中的线索分析出来,必须一个一个选项进行分析匹配排除,最终才能够得出最佳答案。结合上下文中的联系,只要掌握了每一段的大意,做题就不会太难。 24.【2015·福建】E Group exercise is one of the most effective ways to improve physical fitness and sustain a healthy lifestyle.Group exercise is challenging, yet fun and empowering! Of course everyone knows that exercise is good for the body.However, studies have shown that when exercise is performed in groups, it's not only great for improving physical health but for psychological health. It's an opportunity to be social, release endorphins , and improve your strength. Additionally, group exercise creates a community feel and the shared common goal motivates participants to work hard. The instrumental support of taking on a fitness journey with others proves more effective than going to the gym alone. Another beneficial aspect of group exercise is the informational support participants receive from the instructor.Many people fear the gym because they feel lost and don't want to embarrass themselves. If you feel you can relate, then group training is an even better option for you. It's a great opportunity to learn - 171 - more about fitness through the clear instruction and supervision (Hu) of a fitness instructor.

I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to - 171 - blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part - particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold- weather root vegetables- was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call. The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m., rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries; the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes. Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they’re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal- and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months. Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where - luckily for me - I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it. 24. What did the author think of her winter life in New York? A. Exciting. B. Boring. C. Relaxing. D. Annoying. 25. What made the author’s getting up late early worthwhile? A. Having a swim. B. Breathing in fresh air. C. Walking in the morning sun. D. Visiting a local farmer’s market. 26. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter? A. They are soft. B. They look nice. C. They taste great. D. They are juicy. 27. What was the author going to that evening? A. Go to a farm. B. Check into a hotel. C. Eat in a restaurant. D. Buy fresh vegetables 【答案】 24. B - 171 - 25. D 26. B 27. C 【解析】 试题分析:文章讲述了作者生活在冬天寒冷的纽约,当有一个到佛罗里达州萨拉索塔一个周的机会,作者在那里体验到完全不同的冬天。 24.

C 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段尤其倒数第一二句可知,作者晚上计划在餐馆吃饭,并且点西红柿。故选C。 【考点定位】记叙类短文阅读 【名师点睛】本文是一篇记叙类短文,整体难度中等,难度较大的是24和26题,学生容易判断错误,需要通过一定的推理才能判断正确。学生首先要从倒数第二段最后一句判断出作者原来生活在纽约,才可理解第一段第一句描述的是纽约。第26题考生是不能根据作者前面描述的文字判断,真正答案要从后段文字描述去判断。这就要求考生做此类阅读时要注意前后之间的联系与对比,选择答案时切不可以以偏概全。 26.【2015·上海】A Look to many of history’s cultural symbols, and there you’ll find an ancestor of Frosty, the snowman in the movie Frozen. It appeared on some of the first postcards, starred in some of the earliest silent movies, and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos, dating all the way back to the 1800s. I discovered even more about one of humanity’s earliest forms of life art during several years of research around the world. For example, snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages, built with great skill and thought. At a time of limited means of expression, snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky. It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art. Some were created by famous artists, including a 19-year-old Michelangelo, who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence, Italy, to build a snowman in his mansion’s courtyard. The Miracle of 1511 took place during six freezing works called the Winter of Death. The city of Brussels was covered in snowmen—an impressive scene that told stories on every street corner. Some were political in nature, criticizing the church and government. Some were a reflection of people’s imagination. For the people of Brussels, this was a defining moment of defining freedom. At least until spring arrived, by which time they were dealing with damaging floods. If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed, don’t worry: I’ve learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today. Every year since 1818, the people of Zurich, Switzerland, celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman. On the third Monday of April, the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds. The parade ends with the Boogg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood. After the bells of the Church of St. Peter have rung six times, representing the passing of winter, the pile is lit. When the snowman explodes, winter is considered officially over—the quicker it is burnt down, the longer summer is said to be. 66. According to the passage, why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages? A. People thought of snow as holy art supplies. B. People longed to see masterpieces of snow. C. Building snowmen was a way for people to express themselves. D. Building snowmen helped people develop their skill and thought. 67. “The heyday of the snowman” (paragraph 4) means the time when___________. - 171 - A. snowmen were made mainly by artists B. snowmen enjoyed great popularity C. snowmen were politically criticized D. snowmen caused damaging floods 68. In Zurich, the blowing up of the Boogg symbolizes__________________. A. the start of the parade B. the coming of a longer summer C. the passing of the winter D. the success of tradesmen 69. What can be concluded about snowmen from the passage? A. They were appreciated in history B. They have lost their value C. They were related to movies D. They vary in shape and size 【答案】 66. C 67. B 68. C 69. A 【解析】 试题分析:本文讲述历史的文化标志:雪人。 66. C 细节理解题 根据第二段第二句“ At a time of limited means of expression, snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky 在那时,表达方式的方法有限,雪就像是来自于上天的一种自由艺术。”. 这说明雪的流行是因为它是一种表达的方式,关键词是express,而且means 和way 同义。 67. B 细节理解题 根据黑体字后面的内容“has passed, don’t worry: I’ve learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today. 已经过去了,不用担心:我了解到一些历史的雪人现在依然在制造。”这表明担心的是现在没有了这样的东西,换句话说就是现在不再流行,所以答案就是B。 68. C 细节理解题 根据“celebrate the beginning of spring ….庆祝春天的开始”,可以知道答案应该是冬天的过去,也就是春天的开始。所以答案是C。 69. A 推理题根据文章的第一句话look to many of history’s cultural symbols回顾许多的历史文化标志,另外整篇文章出现过很多的history,结合上下文可以知道答案是A (雪人在历史上是受欣赏的。)另外也可以根据排除法,排除其他选项。比如B选项,他们的价值现在依然存在,所以它的表达错误。C选项,雪人的确是与电影有关,但是这个答案不可以通过文章得出来。D选项在文章中没有提及这个内容。 【考点定位】 这是一篇说明文 【名师点睛】 细节题占多数,但需要的是一个细心。答案都是在文章中可以找到,而且往往答案都是在设问内容的附近。另外也可以通过排除法,一个一个选项匹配排除,最终得出最佳答案。当遇到答案比较接近的时候,尤其需要细心。 27.【2015·上海】C One of the executives gathered at the Aspen Institute for a day-long leadership workshop using the works of Shakespeare was discussing the role of Brutus in the death of Julius Caesar. “Brutus was not an honorable man,” he said. “He was a traitor(叛徒). And he murdered someone in cold blood.” The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were available to him. He made a bad decision, they said—at least as it was presented by Shakespeare—to take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar. And though one of the executives acknowledged that Brutus had the good of the republic in mind, Caesar was nevertheless his superior. “You have to endeavor,” the executives said, “our policy is to obey the chain of command.” During the last few years, business executives and book writers looking for a new way to advise corporate America have been exploiting Shakespeare’s wisdom for profitable ends. None more so than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carol Adelman, well-known advisers to the White House, who started up a training company called “Movers and Shakespeares”. They are amateur Shakespeare scholars and Shakespeare lovers, and they have combined their passion and their high level contacts into a management training business. They conduct between 30 and 40 workshops annually, focusing on half a dozen different - 171 - plays, mostly for corporations, but also for government agencies. The workshops all take the same form, focusing on a single play as a kind of case study, and using individual scenes as specific lessons. In Julius Caesar , sly provocation(狡诈的挑唆) of Brutus to take up arms against the what was a basis for a discussion of methods of team building and grass roots organism. Although neither of the Adelmans is academically trained in literature, the programmes, contain plenty of Shakespeare tradition and background. Their workshop on Henry V, for example, includes a helpful explanation of Henry’s winning strategy at the Battle of Agincourt. But they do come to the text with a few biases (偏向): their reading of Henry V minimizes his misuse of power. Instead, they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful leader. And at the workshop on Caesar, Mr. Adelmans had little good to say about Brutus, saying “the noblest Roman of them all” couldn’t make his mind up about things. Many of the participants pointed to very specific elements in the play that they felt related Caesar’s pride, which led to his murder, and Brutus’s mistakes in leading the after the murder, they said, raise vital questions for anyone serving as a business when and how do you resist the boss? 73. According to paragraph 1, what did all the executives think of Brutus? A. Cruel. B. Superior. C. Honorable. D. Bade 74. According to the passage, the Adelmans set up “Movers and Shakespeares” to ________. A. help executives to understand Shakespeare’s plays better B. give advice on leadership by analyzing Shakespeare’s plays C. provide case studies of Shakespeare’s plays in literature workshops D. guide government agencies to follow the characters in Shakespeare’s plays. 75. Why do the Adelmans conduct a workshop on Henry V? A. To highlight the importance of catching opportunities. B. To encourage masterful leaders to plan strategies to win. C. To illustrate the harm of prejudices in management. D. To warn executives against power misuse. 76. It can be inferred from the passage that ____. A. the Adelmans’ programme proves biased as the roles of characters are maximized. B. executives feel bored with too many specific elements of Shakespeare’s plays. C. the Adelmans will make more profits if they are professional scholars. D. Shakespeare has played an important role in the management field. 77. The best title for the passage is _____. A. Shakespeare’s plays: Executives reconsider corporate culture B. Shakespeare’s plays: An essential key to business success C. Shakespeare’s plays: a lesson for business motivation D. Shakespeare’s plays: Dramatic training brings dramatic results 【答案】 73. A 74. B 75 A 76. D 77. D 【解析】 试题分析:文章介绍了莎士比亚戏剧在商业管理方面的运用。 73. A 细节理解题 根据第一段描述所用的一些词语“not an honorable man 不是一个受敬仰的人”,“traitor 叛徒”,“in cold blood 冷血”等可以得出答案为cruel 残忍的。Superior 意为较高的(级别、地位); 较好的(在质量等方面); 较多的(数量); 上等的; rude 意为粗鲁的。 74. B 细节题 根据第二段的一些用词“well-known advisers to the White House 著名的白宫顾问”,”management training business 管理训练商业”,可以知道答案是与leadership 管理有关。其中leadership(领导)和management 是同义词。 75. A 细节理解题 根据“Instead, they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful leader.相反,他们强调年轻人的故事。这些年轻人能够抓住机会以及成为有能力的领导” - 171 - 可以知道答案是强调抓住机会的重要性。其中highlight强调和emphasize 是同义词,seizes opportunity 和catch opportunities 是同义词。学优高考网 76. D 推理题,纵观全文,本文提到的一个是莎士比亚,以及是Adelmans所创立的一个培训商业,这个培训主要是管理有关,也与领导有关。所以答案是D Shakespeare has played an important role in the management field.(莎士比亚在管理领域也起着重要作用)。 77. D 标题题 四个选项的意思分别是A. Shakespeare’s plays: Executives reconsider corporate culture (莎士比亚戏剧:管理层重新认识企业文化);B. Shakespeare’s plays: An essential key to business success (莎士比亚戏剧:成功商业的关键);C.

Here are some examples. First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny balled (芭蕾)dancer. “I’m an inside guy,” Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Station. “I like to be wrapped up.” On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, it’s just as easy to pedal violently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help circulate air, the carbon dioxide you exhale (呼气) has a tendency to form an invisible (隐形的)cloud around you head. You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache. Leroy Chiao, 54, an American retired astronaut after four flights, describes what happens even before you float out of your seat,”Your inner ear thinks your’re falling . Meanwhile your eyes are telling you you’re standing straight. That can be annoying—that’s why some people feel sick.” Within a couple days —truly terrible days for some —astronauts’ brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear, and space sickness disappears. Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous. For instance, astronauts lose bone mass. That’s why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) puts it right on the workday schedule. The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronauts return home, and, more importantly, how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars. 63.What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space? A. Deciding on a proper sleep position B. Choosing a comfortable sleeping bag C. Seeking a way to fall asleep quickly D. Finding a right time to go to sleep. 64.The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache when _____. A. the y circle around on their bikes - 171 - B. they use microcomputers without a stop C. they exercise in one place for a long time D. they watch a movie while pedaling 65.Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days because _____. A. their senses stop working B. they have to stand up straight C. they float out of their seats unexpectedly D. whether they are able to go back to the station 66.One of the NASA’s major concerns about astronauts is _____. A. how much exercise they do on the station B. how they can remain healthy for long in space C. whether they can recover after returning home D. whether they are able to go back to the station 【解析】 试题分析:这是一篇说明文。本文通过举例说明了太空生活的奇妙:在太空睡觉时,对宇航员来说主要的挑战在于恰当的睡眠姿势;宇航员在一个地方运动久了会出现碳毒性头痛;宇航员的大脑接收到矛盾的信息时会感到恶心。最后告诉我们美国国家宇航局对宇航员主要的担心是宇航员回家后的修养期和如何在太空长久地保持健康。 63.A细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二句“First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges.”可知在太空睡觉时,对宇航员来说主要的挑战在于恰当的睡眠姿势。故选A项。 64.

These animals typically live between the surface of the ocean and a depth of about 3,300 feet—as far as most light can reach. Most of them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch. Sonke Johnsen, a scientist in biology, says, “These animals live through their life alone. They never touch anything unless they’re eating it, or unless something is eating them.” And they are as clear as glass. How does an animal become see-through? It’s trickier than you might think. The objects around you are visible because they interact with light. Light typically travels in a straight line. But some materials slow and scatter(散射) light, bouncing it away from its original path. Others absorb light, stopping it dead in its tracks. Both scattering and absorption make an object look different from other objects around it, so you can see it easily. But a transparent object doesn’t absorb or scatter light, at least not very much, Light can pass through it without bending or stopping. That means a transparent object doesn’t look very different from the surrounding air or water. You don’t see it ----you see the things behind it. To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light. Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments(色素) that absorb specific colors of light. But a transparent animal doesn’t have pigments, so its tissues won’t absorb light. According to Johnsen, avoiding absorption is actually easy. The real challenge is preventing light from scattering. Animals are built of many different materials----skin, fat, and more----and light moves through each at a different speed. Every time light moves into a material with a new speed, it bends and scatters. Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering. Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat. Without much tissue to scatter light, it is easier to be see—through. Others build a large, clear mass of non-living jelly-lie(果冻状的)material and spread themselves over it . Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge, because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does. They need to look uniform. But how they’re doing it is still unknown. One thing is clear for these larger animals, staying transparent is an active process. When they die, they turn a non-transparent milky white. 63. According to Paragraph 1, transparent animals_______. A. stay in groups B. can be easily damaged C. appear only in deep ocean D. are beautiful creatures 64. The underlined word “dead” in Paragraph 3 means__________. A. silently B. gradually C. regularly D. completely 65. One way for an animal to become transparent is to ________. A. change the direction of light travel B. gather materials to scatter light. C. avoid the absorption of light D. grow bigger to stop light. 66. The last paragraph tells us that larger transparent animals________. A. move more slowly in deep water B. stay see-through even after death C. produce more tissues for their survival D. take effective action to reduce light spreading 【解析】 试题分析:文章解释了生活在海洋的透明生物的特点,透明原理,以及形成机制。 63.B 细节理解题。文章第一段第三行:Mostof them are extremely delicate and can be damaged by a simple touch。得知B选项:透明动物是很容易受伤的。故选B。 64.D 词义猜测题。该词出现在文章第三段第三行。前文提到了:你能看到的物体一种是对光线进行了散射;而另外一种是对光线的吸收。既然吸收了,那在光的传播过程中就完全阻止了,因此这里dead是完全的意思。故选D。 - 171 - 65.C 推理判断题。根据第五段第一句To become transparent, an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light。可知,想变透明就要避免散射或吸收光线,因此其中的一个方法是C选项,避免光线的吸收。故选C。 66.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句中的make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does可以推断出D为正确答案。其中slowdown对应reduce。故选D。 【考点定位】科技类说明文 【名师点睛】做科技类说明文时,考生应能:理解语篇主旨要义,理解文中具体信息,根据上下文提供的线索推测生词的词义,根据文中事实和线索作出简单的判断和推理。此次出现了新型科技类说明文。往年科技类说明文的阅读难点在于专业类词汇,但是今年的“新型耳机”在问题设置上难度不大,属于文章难但题目不难的题目。所以要理解好文章做好此题就不是难题。 3.【2015·江苏】B In the United States alone, over 100 million cell-phones are thrown away each year. Cell-phones are part of a growing mountain of electronic waste like computers and personal digital assistants. The electronic waste stream is increasing three times faster than traditional garbage as a whole. Electronic devices contain valuable metals such as gold and silver. A Swiss study reported that while the weight of electronic goods represented by precious metals was relatively small in comparison to total waste, the concentration (含量) of gold and other precious metals was higher in So-called e-waste than in naturally occurring minerals. Electronic wastes also contain many poisonous metals. Even when the machines are recycled and the harmful metals removed, the recycling process often is carried out in poor countries, in practically uncontrolled ways which allow many poisonous substances to escape into the environment. Creating products out of raw materials creates much more waste material, up to 100 times more, than the material contained in the finished products. Consider again the cell-phone, and imagine the mines that produced those metals, the factories needed to make the box and packaging(包装) it came in. Many wastes produced in the producing process are harmful as well. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that most waste is dangerous in that “the production, distribution, and use of products — as well as management of the resulting waste — all result in greenhouse gas release.” Individuals can reduce their contribution by creating less waste at the start — for instance, buying reusable products and recycling. In many countries the concept of extended producer responsibility is being considered or has been put in place as an incentive (动机) for reducing waste. If producers are required to take back packaging they use to sell their products, would they reduce the packaging in the first place? Governments’ incentive to require producers to take responsibility for the packaging they produce is usually based on money. Why, they ask, should cities or towns be responsible for paying to deal with the bubble wrap (气泡垫) that encased your television? From the governments’ point of view, a primary goal of laws requiring extended producer responsibility is to transfer both the costs and the physical responsibility of waste management from the government and tax-payers back to the producers. 58.By mentioning the Swiss study, the author intends to tell us that _________ . A. the weight of e-goods is rather small B. E-waste deserves to be made good use of C. natural minerals contain more precious metals D. the percentage of precious metals is heavy in e-waste 59.The responsibility of e-waste treatment should be extended _________ . A. from producers to governments B. from governments to producers C. from individuals to distributors D. from distributors to governments 60. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. The increase in e-waste. B. The creation of e-waste. C. The seriousness of e-waste. - 171 - D. The management of e-waste. 【解析】 【考点定位】科普说明文阅读 【名师点睛】科普类文章逻辑性强,条理清楚,主要考查学生对语篇的整体把握和领悟能力以及对特定细节的理解和推理能力。文章选材时代气息浓厚,与经济、科技的发展和变化密切相关。考生应注意:1.平时多读科普知识类文章,学习科普知识,积累常见的科普词汇,从根本上提高科普英语的阅读能力。2.熟悉科普类文章的结构特点。科普类文章一般由标题(高考题中一般不给出标题)、导语、背景、主体和结尾五部分构成。导语一般位于整篇文章的首段。背景交待一个事实的起因。主体则对导语概括的事实进行详细叙述,这部分是命题的重点,考生应该重点把握。结尾往往也是中心思想的概括,并与导语相呼应,命题者常在此要设计一道推理判断题。3. 在进行推理判断时,考生一定要以阅读材料所提供的科学事实为依据,同时所得出的结论还应符合基本的科普常识。 4.C Suppose you become a leader in an organization. It’s very likely that you’ll want to have volunteers to help with the organization’s activities. To do so, it should help to understand why people undertake volunteer work and what keeps their interest in the work. Let’s begin with the question of why people volunteer. Researchers have identified several factors that motivate people to get involved. For example, people volunteer to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships. If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate. To select volunteers, you may need to understand the motivations of the people you wish to attract. People also volunteer because they are required to do so. To increase levels of community service, some schools have launched compulsory volunteer programs. Unfortunately, these programs can shift people’s wish of participation from an internal factor (e.g., “I volunteer because it’s important to me”) to an external factor (e.g., “I volunteer because I’m required to do so”). When that happens, people become less likely to volunteer in the future. People must be sensitive to this possibility when they make volunteer activities a must. Once people begin to volunteer, what leads them to remain in their positions over time? To answer this question, researchers have conducted follow-up studies in which they track volunteers over time. For instance, one study followed 238 volunteers in Florida over a year. One of the most important factors that influenced their satisfaction as volunteers was the amount of suffering they experienced in their volunteer positions. Although this result may not surprise you, it leads to important practical advice. The researchers note that attention should be given to “training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”. Another study of 302 volunteers at hospitals in Chicago focused on individual differences in the degree to which people view “volunteer” as an important social role. It was assumed that those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work. Participants indicated the degree to which the social role mattered by responding to statements such as “Volunteering in Hospital is an important part of who I am.” Consistent with the researchers’ expectations, they found a positive correlation (正相关) between the strength of role identity and the length of time people continued to volunteer. These results, once again, lead to concrete advice: “Once an individual begins volunteering, continued efforts might focus on developing a volunteer role identity.... Items - 171 - like T-shirts that allow volunteers to be recognized publicly for their contributions can help strengthen role identity”. 61.People volunteer mainly out of ______ . A. academic requirements B. social expectations C. financial rewards D. internal needs 62.What can we learn from the Florida study? A. Follow-up studies should last for one year. B. Volunteers should get mentally prepared. C. Strategy training is a must in research. D. Volunteers are provided with concrete advice. 63.What is most likely to motivate volunteers to continue their work? A. Individual differences in role identity. B. Publicly identifiable volunteer T-shirts. C. Role identity as a volunteer. D. Practical advice from researchers. 64.What is the best title of the passage? A. How to Get People to Volunteer B. How to Study Volunteer Behaviors C. How to Keep Volunteers’ Interest D. How to Organize Volunteer Activities 【解析】 试题分析:本文是一篇议论文。文章分析讲述志愿者为什么自发地去服务社会,并通过3个实验研究志愿者的意图。 61. D细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容可知人们做志愿者工作的原因为:“to express personal values related to unselfishness, to expand their range of experiences, and to strengthen social relationships”,再结合“If volunteer positions do not meet these needs, people may not wish to participate” 可知答案为D项(满足内在的需求)。 62.B推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句中“training methods that would prepare volunteers for troublesome situations or provide them with strategies for coping with the problem they do experience”可知志愿者应该从心理上做好充分的准备。故选B项。 63.C细节理解题。根据第五段第二句中“those people for whom the role of volunteer was most part of their personal identity would also be most likely to continue volunteer work”可知志愿者身份认同会激励他们继续从事志愿者工作。故选C项。 64.A标题归纳题。文章首段提出假设:假如你是一名组织领导人,很想得到志愿者的帮助。并指出在此之前,必须弄清志愿者为什么自发地去服务社会,并通过3个实验研究志愿者的意图。因此A项(如何使人们从事志愿者服务)是文章的最佳标题。 【考点定位】议论文阅读 【名师点睛】议论说理类文章具有以下特点:1.一般按提出问题、分析问题、解决问题的方法写作。作者一般从日常生活中的热点问题、社会上的重大问题、与读者息息相关的问题入手,即提出问题。然后,分析利弊,举例说明,推理判断,即分析问题。最后,阐述观点,提出办法,即解决问题。2.以作者的观点或情感为核心,对细节推理等方面进行考查。3.文章的主题一般是生活中的热点问题、重大问题或与生活息息相关的问题等。考生应注意抓住作者提出的观点、给出的例证及最后得出的结论。同时,理清作为论据的诸多事例和理由之间以及它们和观点/结论之间的内在联系,把握文章的结构。 5.【2015·广东】C Daniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it’s important to distinguish television’s influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds. One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images (影像). Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room. Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV - 171 - doesn’t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents’ educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says. Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers. For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences. 36. By watching TV, children learn _________. A. images through words B. more than explicit meanings C. more about images than words D. little about people’s psychology 37. An educational program is best watched by a child _________. A. on his own B. with other kids C. with his parents D. with his teachers 38. Which of the following is most related to children’s reading ability? A. Radio-listening B. Television-watching C. Parents’ reading list D. Parents’ educational background 39. Anderson believed that _________. A. the more a child watches TV, the smarter he is B. the younger a child is, the more he watches TV C. the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TV D. the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school 40. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To advise on the educational use of TV. B. To describe TV’s harmful effects on children. C. To explain traditional views on TV influences. D. To present Anderson’s unconventional ideas. 【解析】 试题分析:本文叙述著名心理学家Daniel Anderson对孩子们看电视的看法,打破了以往人们认为看电视对孩子不好的想法。他认为孩子们看电视不知学到显现出来的东西;父母陪孩子看电视,孩子可以学到更多知识;孩子看电视并没有代替孩子阅读,并没有影响孩子的智商。 36. B细节理解题。根据第二段的Instead, they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see.可知孩子们通过看电视,可以学到显性和隐藏的意义,因此不仅仅学到隐藏的意思。故选B。 37. C推理判断题。根据第二段的Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them“孩子们有父母陪着看电视理解的更多”,故推断教育节目最好是父母陪着孩子看。故选C。 38. D细节理解题。根据第三段的Things like parents’ educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading.可知父母的教育背景对孩子的阅读有很强的影响。故选D。 39. C细节理解题。根据第四段的“If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older”可知如果你小时越聪明,长大看电视看得越来越少。故选C。 40. D推理判断题。根据最后一段的Anderson suggests that television cannot condemned without considering other influences.“Anderson认为不应该按照常规,不考虑电视的其他影响而去谴责电视”故推断这篇文章的目的是呈现Anderson打破常规的想法,故选D。 - 171 - 【考点定位】教育类短文阅读。 【名师点睛】本文侧重考查学生的细节理解能力。问题设置巧妙,根据题干要求,学生自己阅读,就能在文中找到答案。尤其第40题,充分考查了学生的语篇理解能力。同时,这篇短文提出的一种与常规不一样的看法,看电视对孩子是有好处的。 6.【2015·陕西】C The production of coffee beans is a huge, profitable business, but, unfortunately, full-sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage. The change in how coffee is grown from shade-grown production to full-sun production endangers the very existence of, certain animals and birds, and even disturbs the world’s ecological balance. On a local level, the damage of the forest required by full-sun fields affects the area’s birds and animals. The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other special(物种) that depend on the trees’ flowers and fruits. Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home. As a result, many special are quickly dying out. On a more global level, the destruction of the rainforest for full-sun coffee fields also threatens(威胁)human life. Medical research often makes use of the forests' plant and animal life, and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases. In addition, new coffee-growing techniques are poisoning the water locally, and eventually the world's groundwater. Both locally and globally, the continued spread of full-sun coffee plantations (种植园)could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology. The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world's climate, and studies show that loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming. Moreover, the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic(酸性的) soil conditions. It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects many aspects of life, from the local environment to the global ecology. But consumers do have a choice. They can purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible, although at a higher cost. The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee. 54. What can we learn about full-sun coffee production from Paragraph 4? A. It limits the spread of new growing techniques. B. It leads to air pollution and global warming. C. It slows down the loss of shade trees. D. It improves local soil conditions. 55. The purpose of the text is to . A. entertain B. advertise C. instruct D. persuade 56. Where does this text probably come from ? A. An agricultural magazine. B. A medical journal. C. An engineering textbook. D. A tourist guide. 57.Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text? 【解析】 - 171 - 试题分析:文章介绍阳光充足的咖啡生产给环境和生态带来的种种危害,呼吁人们不要购买这种咖啡,而要买对环境有利的产品。 54.细节理解题。根据文章第四段的句子:The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the world's climate, and studies show that loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming.可知阳光充足的咖啡生产会带来空气污染和全球气温变暖,故选B。 55.写作意图题。根据文章最后一段的句子:But consumers do have a choice. They can purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible, although at a higher cost.可知作者的意图是劝说人们购买阴凉处种植的咖啡,这样对环境是有好处的,故选D。 56.推理判断题。文章介绍阳光充足的咖啡生产会带来的破坏,应该是出自一本农业杂志,故选A。 57.文章结构题。文章第一段介绍阳光充足的咖啡生产的话题,二、三、四段介绍了阳光充足的咖啡生产带来的破坏,第五段说服人们去购买对环境有利的阴凉处种植的咖啡,所以是总分总的结构,故选A。 【考点定位】环保类阅读理解 【名师点睛】这篇文章内容不是学生非常熟悉的,但是篇幅适中。考查比较全面,除了抓住主旨,理解细节题,还需要适当的推理,如:判断文章的出处,作者的意图,文章的结构。这些不是某个句子可以体现的,要对文章有整体把握。 7.【2015·四川】D Their cheery song brightens many a winter's day. But robins are in danger of wearing themselves out by singing too much. Robins are singing all night一as well as during the day, British-based researchers say. David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps, takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds' biological clocks, leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep. Dr Dominoni, who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns, said lack of sleep could put the birds’ health at risk. His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab, it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day. And the more birds are exposed to light, the more active they are at night. He told people at a conference, "There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing. Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy. So by increasing their song output, there might be some costs of energy." And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light. Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal. Dr Dominoni said, "In Glasgow where I live, gulls are a serious problem. I have people coming to me saying `You are the bird expert. Can you help us kill these gulls?'.During the breeding(繁殖)season, between April and June, they are very active at night and very noisy and people can't sleep." Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution, other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise. However, some birds thrive(兴旺)in noisy environments. A study from California Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery. It is thought that they are capitalising on their predators(天敌)fleeing to quieter areas. 42.According to Dr Dominoni's study, what cause robins to sing so much? A. The breeding season. B. The light in modern life C. The dangerous environment. D. The noise from heavy machinery. 43.What is the researchers' concern over the increase of birds' song output? A. The environment might be polluted. B. The birds' health might be damaged. C. The industry cost might be increased. D. The people's hearing might be affected. 44.What does the underlined word "nocturnal" in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Active at night. B. Inactive at night. C. Active during the day. D. Inactive during the day. 45.Why do some birds thrive in noisy environments? A. Because there are fewer dangers. B. Because there is more food to eat. C. Because there is less light pollution D. Because there are more places to take shelter. - 171 - 【解析】 试题分析:本文主要介绍了一项研究调查的结果,由于人类制造的光线问题,越来越多的鸟类如知更鸟在晚上也会唱歌,这极大地影响了鸟的健康。 42.B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段的David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps, take away signs and homes is affecting the birds' biological clock, leading to them being wide awake可知选择B。 43.B 细节理解题。根据文章Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy.

But a new study suggests they used a little rock‘n’roll. Long-ago builders could have attached wooden pole s to the stones and rolled then across the sand, the scientists say. “Technically, I think what they’re proposing is possible,” physicist Daniel Bonn said. People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks. And there’s no obvious answer. On average, each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck. The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away. The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths. Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板). Then they would have dragged them along paths. To make the work easier, workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle. Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand. Evidence from the sand supports this idea. Researchers found small amounts of fat, as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths. However, physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way , who led the new study . West said , “I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction . I thought , ‘Why don’t they just try rolling the things?’“A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides , he realized . That , he notes , should make a block of stone” a lot easier to roll than a square”. So he tried it. He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block. That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel. Then they placed the block on the ground. They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled. The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths. They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的)path. West hasn’t tested his idea on larger blocks, but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding. At least, workers wouldn’t have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths. 46.It’s widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by ______. A. rolling them on roads B. pushing them over the sand C. sliding them on smooth paths D. dragging them on some poles - 171 - 47.The underlined part “lubricated the paths” in Paragraph 4 means____. A. made the path wet B. made the path hard C. made the path wide D. made the path slippery 48.What does the underlined word “it”in Paragraph 7 refer to? A. Rolling the blocks with poles attached. B. Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels. C. Rolling poles to move the blocks. D. Rolling the blocks with fat. 49.Why is rolling better than sliding according to West ? A. Because more force is needed for sliding. B. Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle. C. Because sliding on smooth road is more dangerous. D. Because less preparation on path is needed for rolling. 50.What is the text mainly about ? A. An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site. B. An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid site. C. An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site. D. An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site. 【解析】 试题分析:本文主要讲述的是关于金字塔的建造,不同的专家有着不同的见解。这篇文章主要讲述了两种看法。 46.C 细节理解题。根据文章第四段的The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths.可知选择C。 47.D 词义猜测题。根据第四段的To make the work easier,以及下文的either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle.可知,这样做是为了让路更加平滑,故选择D。 48.A 词义猜测题。这是考查指代词的指代内容,由于是指代词,可知内容应该在上文,根据第六段的内容可知,选择A,意为把杆绑在石块上,然后滚动石块。 49.D 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的workers wouldn’t have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.可知,滚动石块不需要有准备工作,故选择D。 50.D 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知,文章主要讲述了一种新的把石块移动到金字塔地址的方法,故选择D。 【考点定位】考查说明文阅读 【名师点睛】本篇文章考查了科普说明文的阅读。科普说明文是高考阅读理解中的重点与难点。在阅读此类文章时,考生会觉得篇幅长、生词多、逻辑性强、长句多、话题陌生且枯燥,表达方式专业化。因此,要求考生要掌握相对的解题技巧与能力。设题时,常会考查生词词义判断题,如要求考生从上下文理解中概括出生词词义。以及代词指代判断题,如,此类试题常以it、them等代词为命题特色,要求考生推断其指代对象。通常在上文出现。 9.【2015·天津】B Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo. While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user. The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn’t just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos. - 171 - Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces. Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company’s “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product’s location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for. The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us,” said Breazeal. 41. How are social robots different from household robots? A. They can control their emotions. B. They are more like humans. C. They do the normal housework. D. They respond to users more slowly. 42. What can a Jibo robot do according to Paragraph 3? A. Communicate with you and perform operations. B. Answer your questions and make requests. C. Take your family pictures and deliver milk. D. Obey your orders and remind you to take pills. 43. What can Oshbot work as? A. A language teacher. B. A tour guide. C. A shop assistant. D. A private nurse. 44. We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will ______. A. train employees B. be our workmates C. improve technologies D. take the place of workers 45. What does the passage mainly present? A. A new design idea of household robots. B. Marketing strategies for social robots. C. Information on household robots. D. An introduction to social robots. 【解析】 试题分析:文章大意:文章主要介绍了社会机器人的功能与作用。 41.

Instead,we are diurnal creatures, with eyes adapted to living in the sun’s light. This is a basic evolutionary fact, even though most of us don’t think of ourselves as diurnal beings. Yet it’s the only way to explain what we’ve done to the night: We’ve engineered it to receive us by filling itwith light. The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences 一 called light pollution 一 whose effects scientists are only now beginning to study. Light pollution is largely the result of bad lighting - 171 - design,which allows artificial light to shine outward and upward into the sky.III-designed lighting washes out the darkness of night and completely changes the light levels 一 and light rhythms — to which many forms of life, including, ourselves, have adapted. Wherever human light spills into the natural world, some aspect or life is affected . In most cities the sky looks as though it has been emptied of stars, leaving behind a vacant haze(霾) that mirrors our fear of the dark. We’ve grown so used to this orange haze that the original glory of an unlit nigh, - dark enough for the planet Venus to throw shadow on Earth, is wholly beyond our experience, beyond memory almost. We’ve lit up the night as if it were an unoccupied country, when nothing could be further form the truth. Among mammals alone, the number of nocturnal species is astonishing, Light is a powerful biological force, and on many species it acts as a magnet(磁铁). The effect is so powerful that scientists speak of songbirds and seabirds being“captured”by searchlights on land or by the light from gas flares on marine oil platforms. Migrating at night, birds tend to collide with brightly lit tall buildings. Frogs living near brightly lit highways suffer nocturnal light levels that are as much as a million times righter than normal, throwing nearly every aspect of their behavior out of joint including most other creatures ,we do need darkness .Darkness is as essential to our biological welfare, to our internal clockwork, as light itself. Living in a glare of our making,we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritage—the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night .In a very real sense light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe, to forget the scale of our being, which is best measured against the dimensions of a deep night with the Milky Way—the edge of our galaxy arching overhead. 50. According to the passage, human being . A. prefer to live in the darkness B. are used to living in the day light C. were curious about the midnight world D. had to stay at home with the light of the moon 51. What does “it”(Paragraph 1) most probably refer to? A. The night. B. The moon C. The sky D. The planet 52. The writer mentions birds and frogs to . A. provide examples of animal protection B. show how light pollution affects animals C. compare the living habits of both species D. explain why the number of certain species has declined 53. It is implied in the last paragraph that . A. light pollution dose harm to the eyesight of animals B. light pollution has destroyed some of the world heritages C. human beings cannot go to the outer space D. human beings should reflect on their position in the universe 54. What might be the best title for the passage? A. The Magic light. B. The Orange Haze. C. The Disappearing Night. D. The Rhythms of Nature. 【解析】 试题分析:文章介绍了光污染对于动物和人类的影响,呼吁我们反思我们的行为。 50. B 细节理解题 根据第一段第三行“ with eyes adapted to living in the sun’s light眼睛适应了太阳的光线” 可以知道答案。其中adapted to 和used to 同义,意为习惯于。 51. A 猜词题,对于这种指代的题目,往往答案是最接近它的一个。根据这种原则,不能得出答案是night 夜晚。最后一句话的句意是:但是这是唯一的方法去解释我们对于夜晚做了什么:我们设计了光,让光充满星空。 52. B 写作目的题 根据第二段第一句话”The benefits of this kind of engineering come with consequences 这项工程带来好处的同时也带来了坏处“和最后一句,“Wherever human light spills into the natural world, some aspect of life is affected“, 此句意为无论光洒在什么地方,生活都会受到一些影响。 所以答案是show how light pollution affects animals说明光污染影响的动物 - 171 - 53. D 推理题,最后一段的意思是” Living in a glare of our making ,we have cut ourselves off from our evolutionary and cultural heritage—the light of the stars and the rhythms of day and night .In a very real sense light pollution causes us to lose sight of our true place in the universe, to forget the scale of our being, which is best measured against the dimensions of a deep night with the Milky Way—the edge of our galaxy arching overhead.生活在一个刺眼世界,我们已经远离了进化和文化遗产:星星和昼夜节律的光。在一个非常真实的意义上,光污染使我们在宇宙中失去真我,而这些失去的正好就是最好的测量银河系银河深夜的工具。“ 根据语意,不难得出答案是D. human beings should reflect on their position in the universe人类应该反思自己的行为。但此题易错选B,之所以不选B是因为some of 的表达是扩大了说法,以偏概全。 54. C 标题题,根据,文章出现最多的就是light和night, 我们可以知道答案是C。之所以不选A,是因为它所使用的形容词Magic意思是奇幻的,这个单词具有褒义的意思。而C选项的disappearing 是消失的,这符合本文的语境,让我们反思。 【考点定位】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章 【名师点睛】对于这种文章,一定要读懂作者的观点是什么?留意作者看法的用词,即是文章所使用的形容词是支持还是反对。尤其要读懂第一段的内容,因为往往开头是陈述作者观点的地方。如第一段“If humans were truly at home under the light of the moon and stars,we would go in darkness happily,the midnight world as visible to us as it is to the vast number of nocturnal(夜间活动的) species on this planet.

If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how. In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood thatthe computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it. In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)". According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing. 64. The passage begins with two questions to ______. A. introduce the main topic B. show the author's altitude C. describe how to use the Interne. D. explain how to store information 65. What can we learn about the first experiment? A. Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer. B. The two groups remembered the information equally well. C. The first group did not try to remember the formation. D. The second group did not understand the information. 66. In transactive memory, people ______. A. keep the information in mind B. change the quantity of information C. organize information like a computer D. remember how to find the information 67. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research? A. Weare using memory differently. B. We arebecoming more intelligent. C. We have poorer memories than before. D. We need a better way to access information. - 171 - 【答案】 64. A 65. C 66. D 67.

An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this: A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street. Asked if he needs help, he replies, "No, thanks. I've got a good horse under me." The city planner decided to build an underground drainage (排水) system, but there simply wasn't enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level. The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city. An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced me the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt. This raised the level of the city's streets by as much as 12 feet. This of course created a new problem: dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago. Building owners were faced with a choice: either change the first floors of their buildings into basements, and the second stories into main floors, or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level. Small wood-frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily. But what about large, heavy structures like Tremont Hotel, which was a six-story brick building? That's where George Pullman came in. He had developed some house-moving skills successfully. To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews (螺旋千斤顶) beneath the building's foundation. One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10 jackscrews. At Pullman's signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time, thereby raising the building slowly and evenly. Astonishingly, the Tremont Hotel stay open during the entire operation, and many of its guests didn't even notice anything was happening. Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicago's early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem. Now that Chicago's waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River, the city's next step was to clean the polluted river. 61.The author mentions the joke to show ______. A. horses were fairly useful in Chicago B. Chicago's streets were extremely muddy C. Chicago was very dangerous in the spring D. the Chicago people were particularly humorous 62.The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to_______. A. get rid of the street dirt - 171 - B. lower the Chicago River C. fight against heavy floods D. build the pipes above ground 63.The underlined word "hoist" in Paragraph 4 means "_______". A. change B. lift C. repair D. decorate 64.What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel? A. It went on smoothly as intended. B. It interrupted the business of the hotel. C. It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews. D. It separated the building from its foundation. 65.The passage is mainly about the early Chicago's ______. A. popular life styles and their influences B. environmental disasters and their causes C. engineering problems and their solutions D. successful businessmen and their achievements 【答案】 61.B 62.D 63.B 64.A 65.C 【解析】 试题分析:本文讲述了芝加哥城的问题和改造方案 61.B;细节推理题。根据文章的第一段第一句话:In early history, Chicago had floors frequently, especially in the spring, making the streets so muddy that people, horses, and carts got stuck.可知芝加哥因为洪水的经常泛滥导致大街上总是泥泞不堪,行人,马和车全部都堵在路上。所以作者提及那个玩笑是为了突出芝加哥这一特点,故选B 62.D;细节理解题。根据第三段第一句话:An engineer named Eill Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover thenwith dirt.可知以Eill Chesbrough为首的人们认为应该在地上埋下排水管道,故选D 63.B;细节推理题。根据后文:Small wood-frame building could be lifted fairly easily.可知另一种方法就是将建筑升高。故选B 64.A;细节推理题。根据倒数第二段中的倒数第二句话:At Pullman’s signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time, thereby raising the building slowly and evenly.(在Pullman的指导下,每个人同时抬起他们手中的千斤顶,因此建筑就被慢慢地、平整地抬起来了)可知A项正确, 故选A 65.C;主旨大意题。文章的第一段就提出芝加哥城所存在的问题,接下来的段落讨论了解决这个问题的一些方法,最后一段讲到这些方法虽然解决当前的问题,但是随之而来的又会冒出一些新的问题有待解决。故文章大致上讲述的是建造的问题与解决办法,故选C 【考点定位】科普类短文阅读。 【名师点睛】这是一篇科普类的文章,主要是考查上下文理解和对文章细节的把握,明白作者的构思在文章中给出的自己想法和观点以及对文章的总结。例如最后一段:Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicago's early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem. Now that Chicago's waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River, the city's next step was to clean the polluted river.可知作者觉得所有的解决办法都会解决了原有的问题后又产生出一个新的问题。这是对文章的一个总结。 13.【2015·新课标全国II】B Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. you can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan. Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places – and so more likely to eat - 171 - lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness. Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue. Don’t forget the clock – or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turning on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal. Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plants can easily makes us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass. 25. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____. A. their home comforts B. their body shape C. house buying D. healthy diets 26. A home environment in blue can help people ____. A. digest food better B. reduce food intake C. burn more calories D. regain their appetites 27. What are people advised to do at mealtimes? A. Eat quickly. B. Play fast music C. Use smaller spoons D. Turn down the lights 28.What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Is Your House Making You Fat? B. Ways of Serving Dinner C. Effects of Self-Consciousness D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing? 【答案】 25. B 26. B 27.C 28.A 【解析】 试题分析:你家的房子对你的身材很有影响。长胖还是变瘦关键看你如何设计自己的家了。我们这里有很好的建议4条:1.房间要明亮;2.用冷色系会减少食欲;3.放一些舒缓的音乐就餐;4. 用小的碗碟。 25. B推理判断题。根据全文第一段Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.可知,要让你的家的设计成为你减肥计划的一部分。所以这篇文章对那些在乎自己的体型的人更有帮助。故选B。 26.B 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句话In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.可知在蓝色的房间内人吃的食物相对在黄色或者红色房间少33%。暖色让人胃口大开,冷色让人感觉到不饿。故选B。 27.C 推理判断题。本题是在考查考生是否理解了4条建议。第4段People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals.,说明吃得慢就吃得少,吃得快就多,故A错;If you need some help slowing down, turning on relaxing music.说明放舒缓的音乐可以让人吃得慢,反之则快,故B错;第二段Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating,由此可知房间暗会增加饮食,所以D错;最后一段When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent.用大勺和小勺吃饭,相差14%,故选C。 28.A主旨大意题。根据文章的开头Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. you can make your environment work for you instead of against you. - 171 - 可知,你的家居环境既可以让你变胖也会让你变瘦。本文非常适合那些想减肥的人士来阅读。所以选A可以更好地概括全文。 【考点定位】科普类短文阅读 【名师点睛】本文的结构清楚。主题句Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.在第一段,抓住就可以理清文章的脉络,接下来是4条建议,一段一条。题目中的第三题考查对文章的全面了解,并要求理解四个选项的意思才能做好。平时还应该多练习对文章结构的分析。 14.【2015·新课标全国I】D Conflict is on the menu tonight at the café La Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France’s favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cure”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn’t always easy. They customers - some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session - care quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论),slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say ‘one feels,’ or ‘people think’,” Lehane told them. “Say ‘I think,’ ‘Think me’.” A café society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn’t seem more un-French. But Lehanne’s psychology café is about more than knowing oneself: It’s trying to help the city’s troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle - longer working hours, a fast food boom and a younger generation’s desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening. The city’s psychology cafes, which offer great comfort, are among the most popular places. Middle-aged homemakers, retirees, and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love, anger, and dreams with a psychologist. And they come to Lehanne’s group just to learn to say what they feel. “There’s a strong need in Paris for communication,” says Maurice Frisch, a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church. “People have few real friends. And they need to open up.” Lehanne says she’d like to see psychology cafes all over France. “If people had normal lives, these cafes wouldn’t exist”, she says, “If life weren’t a battle, people wouldn’t need a special place just to speak.” But them, it wouldn’t be France. 32.What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope? A. Learn a new subject B. Keep in touch with friends. C. Show off their knowledge. D. Express their true feelings. 33. How are cafes affected by French lifestyle changes? A. They are less frequently visited. B. They stay open for longer hours. C. They have bigger night crowds. D. They start to serve fast food. 34. What are theme cafes expected to do? A. Create more jobs. B. Supply better drinks. C. Save the cafe business. D. Serve the neighborhood. 35. Why are psychology cafes becoming popular in Paris? A. They bring people true friendship. B. They give people spiritual support. C. They help people realize their dreams. D. They offer a platform for business links. 【答案】 32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B 【解析】 - 171 - 试题分析:文章主要讲述了法国精神咖啡馆(psychology cafes)的社会意义和功能特色,以及在法国越来越受欢迎。 32. D细节理解题。根据文章第一段第三句Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings.可知在La Chope咖啡馆鼓励人们表达他们真正的情感。故选D。 33. A 细节理解题。根据文章第二段Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle-longer working hours, a fast food boom and a younger generation’s desire to spend more time at home.可知改变了更多时间呆在家里的更年轻一代人。故选A。 34.

B 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第一句话“If people had normal lives, these cafes would’t exist”, she says,”If life weren’t a battle, people wouln’t need a special place just to speak.” But them, it wouldn’t be France.可知心理咖啡馆在巴黎受欢迎的原因在于他们给予人们精神上的支持。故选B。学优高考网 【考点定位】社会类短文阅读 【名师点睛】这是一篇社会类短文阅读。难度中等偏上,学生不易读懂。但是第32和33题均为考查细节理解题,问题设计比较简单,考生只需通过关键词定位即可得出答案。其中第34和35题需要在原文的内容的基础之上作出推理,才能判断出正确的答案。考生做此类阅读时要注意前后之间的联系与对比,选择答案时切不可以以偏概全。 专题十七 阅读理解之阅读新题型 1.【2015·北京卷】第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分。共 10 分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的七个选项中选出正确的填入空白处。选项中有两项为多余选项。 This Way to Dreamland Daydreaming means people think about something pleasant, especially when this makes them forget what they should be doing. Daydreamers have a bad reputation for being unaware of what’s happening around them. They can seem forgetful and clumsy._71__They annoy us because they seem to be ignoring us and missing the important things. But daydreamers are also responsible for some of the greatest ideas and achievements in human history. __72__ Can you imagine what kind of world we would have without such ideas and inventions? So how can you come up with brilliant daydreams and avoid falling over tree roots or otherwise looking like a fool? First, understand that some opportunities(机会) for daydreaming are better than others. Feeling safe and relaxed will help you to slip into daydreams.__73_ And if you want to improve your chances of having a creative idea while you’re daydreaming, try to do it while you are involved in another task—preferably something simple, like taking a shower or walking, or even making meaningless drawings. It’s also important to know how to avoid daydreams for those times when you really need to concentrate. “Mindfulness”, being focused, is a tool that some people use to avoid falling asleep.__74__ Finally, you never know what wonderful idea might strike while your mind has moved slowly away.____75_ Always remember that your best ideas might come when your head is actually in the clouds. A. Having interesting things to think about also helps. B. They stare off into space and wander by themselves. C. Without wandering minds, we wouldn’t have relatively, Coke or Post-it notes. D. At one time, daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses. E. It involves slow, steady breathing for self-control that helps people stay calm and attentive. F. Daydreams are often very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand. G. Therefore, it’s a good idea to keep a notebook or voice recorder nearby when you’re in the daydream zone. 【解析】 - 171 - 【考点定位】生活类短文阅读 【名师点睛】本文是七选五常考的建议类说明文,第1、2自然段为概念的提出及导入,第3段明确了下文的内容:如何在“白日做梦”中趋利避害。文章结构清晰,干扰选项较易排除,整体难度不大,文章的主题“如何培养创新的想法”,除了理解整篇文章及选项外还要注意文章中的副词,代词,逻辑连接词以及特殊概念名词的出现。文章结构清晰,可读性强,提示词明显。因此,日常练习中要侧重以抓住文章结构及段落主旨为主,兼顾辨析选项,尤其是根据核心词排除干扰项的做题技巧。学生需要遵循先易后难的原则,来提高正确率。 2.【2015·江苏】任务型阅读 (共 10 小题; 每小题 1 分, 满分 10 分) 请阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。 注意: 请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。 每个空格只填一个单词。 People select news in expectation of a reward. This reward may be either of two kinds. One is related to what Freud calls the Pleasure Principle, the other to what he calls the Reality Principle. For want of better names, we shall call these two classes immediate reward and delayed reward. In general, the kind of news which may be expected to give immediate reward are news of crime and corruption, accidents and disasters, sports, social events, and human interest. Delayed reward may be expected from news of public affairs, economic matters, social problems, science, education, and health. News of the first kind pays its rewards at once. A reader can enjoy an indirect experience without any of the dangers or stresses involved. He can tremble wildly at an axe-murder, shake his head sympathetically and safely at a hurricane, identify himself with the winning team, laugh understandingly at a warm little story of children or dogs. News of the second kind, however, pays its rewards later. It sometimes requires the reader to tolerate unpleasantness or annoyance — as, for example, when he reads of the threatening foreign situation, the mounting national debt, rising taxes, falling market, scarce housing, and cancer. It has a kind of “threat value.” It is read so that the reader may be informed and prepared. When a reader selects delayed reward news, he pulls himself into the world of surrounding reality to which he can adapt himself only by hard work. When he selects news of the other kind, he usually withdraws from the world of threatening reality toward the dream world. For any individual, of course, the boundaries of these two classes are not stable. For example, a sociologist may read news of crime as a social problem, rather than for its immediate reward. A coach may read a sports story for its threat value: he may have to play that team next week. A politician may read an account of his latest successful public meeting, not for its delayed reward, but very much as his wife reads an account of a party. In any given story of corruption or disaster, a thoughtful reader may receive not only the immediate reward of indirect experience, but also the delayed reward of information and preparedness. Therefore, while the division of categories holds in general, an individual’s tendency may transfer any story from one kind of reading to another, or divide the experience between the two kinds of reward. - 171 - What news stories do you read?

This reward may be either of two kinds.”可知此处填rewards/rewarded“得到回报/被奖励”。 72.信息归纳题。文章二、三、四段是对“immediate reward(即时回报)”和“delayed reward(迟来的回报)”的解释。 73.信息转换题。根据第三段第二句“A reader can enjoy an indirect experience without any of the dangers or stresses involved.”可知此处填involvement“参与”。 74.信息归纳题。根据第三段中“A reader can enjoy an indirect experience without any of the dangers or stresses involved. He can tremble wildly at an axe-murder … laugh understandingly at a warm little story of children or dogs.”可知读者会将自己和新闻故事中发生的事紧紧联系在一起,和参与者有相似的感受。因此此处填share“同样有”。 75.信息查找题。根据第四段中“It sometimes requires the reader to tolerate unpleasantness or annoyance — as, for example, when he reads of the threatening foreign situation, … It has a kind of ‘threat value.’”可知此处填threat“威胁”。 76.信息转换题。根据第四段中“It is read so that the reader may be informed and prepared.”可知此处填prepare,与后面的介词for搭配“为……做准备”。 77.信息查找题。根据第四段中“When he selects news of the other kind, he usually withdraws from the world of threatening reality toward the dream world.” 此处填withdraw “退出,离开”。 78.归纳概括题。根据最后一段中“For example, a sociologist may … A coach may …A politician may …”可知读者对新闻故事的期待很大程度上受他们职业的影响。此处填profession(s)“职业”/intention“ - 171 - 意图,动机”。 79.信息查找题。根据第四段中“When a reader selects delayed reward news, he pulls himself into the world of surrounding reality to which he can adapt himself only by hard work.”可知此处填adapt“使适应”。 80.归纳概括题。根据最后一段中“while the division of categories holds in general, an individual’s tendency may transfer any story from one kind of reading to another, or divide the experience between the two kinds of reward.”可知这一分类取决于读者个体。此处填depends,和后面的介词on搭配“取决于”。 【考点定位】任务型阅读。 【名师点睛】任务型阅读一般的解题思路可归纳为四步曲,即“审题”→“略读”→“边细读边解题”→“复核”。“审题”,即看清题目及要求,做到有的放矢,心中有数。“略读”,指的是快速阅读、掌握大意。了解阅读材料的文体,作者的观点和态度。“边细读边解题”,指通过细读题目和文章中相关信息完成指定任务。考生应注意表格前的小标题,它通常是段落和表格的主题句,有助于理解文章。理解表格设计,表格一般包括列标题和行标题,通过阅读这些标题和表格里的内容,可迅速了解表格的结构和表格的设计原理,同时也可缩小信息范围,确定考查内容。根据已填的内容来推断所填之词的形式,是单词或词组。填写答案时要注意与已填部分的形式保持一致。同时要注意时态、语态、句式等。“复核”即检查核对初步完成的所要求的任务。注意拼写是否正确以及大小写等。 3.【2015·广东】信息匹配(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 请阅读下列应用文及相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。 首先阅读下列活动介绍: A.

The mistaken belief B. The need for tolerance C. Unpunctuality at dinners D. Punctuality and confidence E. Self-discipline and punctuality F. Avoid anxiety by being punctual 61. A There is the belief that, if you arrive at an appointment late, you will be considered important. This is a mistaken view. Being unpunctual, we are not respectful of others ; we are interfering (扰乱)with another man's time. We must realise that keeping appointments or being punctual is a contract that is silently agreed and we are expected to respect this contract. It is only natural that we lose faith, trust and confidence in a person who is tardy(延迟的). 62. E To be punctual one has to have self-discipline(自律), and the lack of it affects others. A school boy or girl is unpunctual because he or she does not have the necessary human virtue of self-discipline. It is also a mark of disrespect for a system or an institution. Unpunctual people seldom realise that their habit cause problems to others. A salesman who is not punctual may not make a sale if he arrives late for an appointment. If one is late for a job interview, it is not likely that he will get the job. 63. F Being punctual, we can avoid anxiety. Imagine the anxiety if you do not want to be considered unpunctual. You will be anxious if you set out for a dinner late. The person who sets out late might be careless in driving. He will ignore traffic rules. A traffic jam, flat tyres, etc. can delay him further. Happy and calm is the man who takes all these possibilities into consideration and arrives at the appointment either early or on time. 64. C Many of those who attend dinners are notorious (声名狼藉的)for unpunctuality. They ignore the appointed time and leave their homes only after the fixed time. They are indifferent to the inconvenience caused to others. If the self-centred guest arrives late, the nine others at the table set for ten will have to wait. The host is put in an unpleasant situation and this man seldom thinks of the inconvenience caused to all -the waiters, the management staff, etc. It is necessary for us to think of others and be considerate to them. 65 B However, we cannot always be intolerant (无法容忍的) of tardiness, for ordinary living requires some tolerance. There can be a busy executive who fights to keep to his schedule. Such a person may be forgiven if he is late, but not those who are deliberately late to create impression. In modern society, punctuality is a necessary virtue. It is a recognition of the importance of other people. 【解析】 试题分析:文章介绍的是人际交往中守时和自律的重要性,并介绍如何做到守时和自律。 61.考查段落大意:根据这段的句子: There is the belief that, if you arrive at an appointment late, you will be considered important.

At age 68, he retired from the post office, but he never stopped serving the community. On his 80th birthday, I sent him a letter, noting the things we all should be thankful for — good health, good friends and good outcomes. By most measurements he was a happy man. Then I suggested it was time - 171 - for him to slow down. At long last, in a comfortable home, with a generous pension, he should learn to take things easy. “Thank you for your nice words,” he wrote in his letter back, “and I know what you meant, but slowing down scares me. Life isn’t having it made; it’s getting it made.” “The finest and happiest years of our lives were not when all the debts were paid, and all difficult experiences had passed, and we had settled into a comfortable home. No. I go back years ago, when we lived in a three-room house, when we got up before daylight and worked till after dark to make ends meet. I rarely had more than four hours of sleep. But what I still can’t figure out is why I never got tired, never felt better in my life. I guess the answer is, we were fighting for survival, protecting and providing for those we loved. What matters are not the great moments, but the partial victories, the waiting, and even the defeats. It’s the journey, not the arrival, that counts.” The letter ended with a personal request: “Boy, on my next birthday, just tell me to wake up and get going, because I will have one less year to do things — and there are ten million things waiting to be done.” Christina Rossetti, an English poet, once said: “Does the road wind uphill all the way? Yes, to the very end.” Today, at 96, my grandfather is still on that long road, climbing. 56. What was the author’s grandfather before he retired? (no more than 5 words) 57. What did the author advise his grandfather to do in his letter? (no more than 10 words) 58. What is the grandfather’s view on life according to his letter back? (no more than 10 words) 59. How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph? (no more than 10 words) 60. Do you agree with the grandfather’s view on life? Give reasons in your own words, (no more than 20 words) 【答案】 56. He was a postman. Or: He worked in a post-office. 57. He advised him to slow down (and take things easy). / He advised he/his grandfather (should) slow down. 58. The process is more important than the result. Or: A man should not slow down however old he is. Or: Life isn't having it made; it's getting it made. / It's the journey, not the arrival that counts. 59. My/His/The grandfather is still busy doing meaningful things. Or: The grandfather is still living an active life. Or: The grandfather is still involved in whatever he can do. 60. Yes. One should always be full of passion in his life no matter how old he is. Or: People should make full use of their time to do something meaningful No. It is more sensible for people to slow down and enjoy an easy life in their old age. Or: Slowing down contributes to better health and longer life for people in old age. 【解析】 试题分析:作者的爷爷曾经是名邮寄员,然而退休之后一直忙于做一些有意义的事情。作者写信给爷爷让他多休息休息,但爷爷回信说他任然坚持他的忙碌的生活。 56. 细节归纳题。根据文章第一段At age 68, he retired from the post office可以归纳出答案,注意字数的限制。 57. 细节归纳题。根据文章第二段Then I suggested it was time for him to slow down.可知作者在信中建议他爷爷放慢速度。特别注意动词advise的用法。 58. 细节归纳题。根据文章第四段It’s the journey, not the arrival, that counts等内容可以归纳出答案。 59. 句意猜测题。根据上文的内容可以推测出,他爷爷仍然在忙于做有意义的事情。 60. 开放题。首先要回答同意不同意他爷爷的生活观,并且陈述自己的理由。 【考点定位】阅读表达。 【名师点睛】本文是一篇记叙文。整体文章易懂,但题目设置灵活,总体难度中等。考生不但要从文章中找出答案,还要根据问题的设置归纳出相应的答案。书写答案的时候,考生要注意语法结构的正确以及字数的限制。 6.【2015·浙江】第二节:下面文章中有5个段落需要添加首句(第61-65题)。请从以下选项(A, B, C, D, E和F)中选出适合各段落的首句,并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。 A. Come in with something to say. B. Prepare general comments. - 171 - C. Bring materials with you. D. Don’t make them wait. E. Have no fear. F. Go it alone. One of the best things you can do any time in the semester is go see the professor. So hoof on over to an office hour and have some one-on-one face time with someone who’ll help you master the material and improve your grade, to boot. But how should you have this conversation with the professor? Here are five insider tips about how to make that office hour really count: 61. No need to get all bent out of shape about going to see the professor. The professor would actually like to see you and answer your questions. Believe it or not, he or she is on your side and is eager to see you do well. And besides, he or she has seen many students stupider than you, so nothing you’re gong to ask will set the record for stupidity. 62. Even though you might feel more comfortable going with a friend or partner, the office hour will go better if it’s just you and the professor. You’ll get in more questions, the discussion will be tailored to what you need most help on, and two-party communication is almost always more productive than committee work. You friend can wait outside for the discussion. 63. If you can’t make the official office hours, most professors are willing to make individual, appointments to help you out. If you’re lucky enough to land such an accommodation, though, be sure you’re 100 percent on time. There’s nothing that ticks off a professor more than making him-or herself available for a custom office hour only to find that you don’t care enough to come on time. And besides, the professor might leave after ten minutes, which would make your trip a total loss. 64. If you’re meeting with the professor to go over a paper or test, or to ask questions about a particular lecture or reading, make sure you bring that paper or test, or your lecture notes or a copy of the article. The professor doesn’t remember the comments he or she wrote on your individual piece of work—though he or she will be able to recall them after just a brief glance at your work. And if you have your lecture notes or the article in hand, you and the professor will be able to examine specific points that are confusing to you, rather than just talking in a general way about the contents. 65. Office hours almost always go better if you bring a few specific questions to the meeting. It’s almost never good to start a meeting with general comments such as:“I didn’t understand what you said about [main topic of the course]”or“I couldn’t understand any of your lectures last week.”Much better is to come in with two or three conversation-starters, about a specific concept, point, or problem you didn’t understand. Keep in mind that in a fifteen-minute office hour (which is how long these things usually last), two or three questions are usually the most you’ll have time to discuss. 【解析】 试题分析:文章给出了几个建议如何约见教授并开展对话以及一些注意事项 61. E 根据后面所说的一些内容可以得出答案,比如all bent out of shape 大发雷霆,理解上下文不难得出之所以不敢去问是因为害怕,教授会问你说stupid 愚蠢,因为he or she has seen many students stupider than you(教授见过比你更蠢的学生都有)。 62. F根据“go better if it’s just you and the professor.最好是只有你和教授两个人” 和“You friend can wait outside for the discussion你的朋友最好在外面等”说明你应该是独自一个人去的Go it alone. 63. D根据使用的几个词“on time”和 leave after ten minutes, 可以知道这个意思是Don’t make them wait.不能让教授等待,应该是准时,因为教授不会久等。 64. C根据第二行make sure you bring that paper or test, or your lecture notes or a copy of the article.确信带纸或者是试卷,说明你去之前应该是Bring materials with you.带一些材料。 65. A根据第四行Much better is to come in with two or three conversation-starters, about a specific concept, point, or problem you didn’t understand.最好是带两个或3个观点、概念或者不明白的地方开始对话”, 也就是准备几个要说的东西。此题容易错选B选项,而且文章中也的确提到了这个字眼“general comments”, 但是要注意前面所使用的一个词never绝不” It’s almost never good to start a meeting with general comments”。 【考点定位】语篇段落题 【名师点睛】要求考生根据篇章内容和脉络,选出每段的首句,考查学生概括主题和查找主题句的能力。 - 171 - 这种题目的难度不大,需要正确理解后面所说的内容,因为首句是高度概括的句子。当然也要注意所使用的一些表达否定的词语比如说but, never,seldom,hardly 等。 7.【2015·安徽】任务型读写(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) 阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词。 Put a group of strangers in a room together, and they'll probably start a conversation. "Hot today, isn't it?"one might say. "You said it." another replies. Why do we talk so much about the weather? When we meet new people, we don't begin by telling them our life story. We start with small talk, a polite conversation about something like traffic or weather. Research suggests that small talk can build new friendships. When we begin conversations with new people, we want to feel comfortable, and so do they. We use small talk to find common interests. Once we have a common interest, a friendship can begin.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer. Not all print dictionaries are the same, as you will notice when you select one. To make a wise selection, you should know how to distinguish among three kinds of print dictionaries: pocket, desk, and unabridged. You should also know the copyright date of your dictionary, and check is special features. A pocket dictionary is small. Generally, it contains no more than 75000 entries, making it hardly to carry to class and efficient to use. However, a pocket dictionary doesn't contain enough entries to be adequate for college reference homework. In addition, the information about each word in a pocket dictionary is generally limited. A desk dictionary is medium sized, generally containing over 100,000 entries as well as extra features. For college work, you should own a current desk dictionary. An unabridged dictionary is a complete dictionary. Abridged dictionaries, such as pocket and desk dictionaries, are shortened. Because unabridged dictionaries contain nearly all English words, they are large and heavy. They are often used by schools and libraries. If the copyright date of your current dictionary shows that it was published five or more years ago, consider investing in a more recent edition. English is a dynamic language that admits new words and recognizes changes in meaning, spelling, and usage of familiar words. This is reflected in an up-to-date dictionary. In selecting a dictionary, check the features it offers besides vocabulary definitions. Many editions contain signs, symbols and foreign words. Some also contain CD-ROMs and access to special online features. - 171 - 【答案】 71.Select 72.inadequate 73.word information 74.desk dictionary 75.extra features 76.large and heavy 77.schools and libraries 78.admitting new words 79.cheek 80.access to 【解析】 试题分析:本文讲述了三种字典的类型,旨在告诉读者如何根据需要去选择字典。 71.Select; 本文讲述了三种字典的类型,旨在告诉读者如何根据需要去选择字典。故填Select. 72.inadequate;根据第二段中的第三句话:However, a pocket dictionary doesn’t contain enough entries to be adequate for college reference homework.可知作者认为口袋字典不能用来作为写家庭作业的参考。不能够胜任: inadequate for…。故填inadequate 73.word information;根据第二段的第四句话:the information about each word in a pocket dictionary is generally limited可知口袋字典里每个单词的意思是有限的。故填word information 74.desk dictionary;根据题目中的第二个方框里给出的信息可知作者写完pocket dictionary后接着写第二种字典:desk dictionary。故填desk dictionary 75.extra features;根据第二段中的第五句话:A desk dictionary is medium-sized, generally containing over 170,000 entries as well as extra features.可知中等体积是desk dictionary的外特点。故填extra features 76.large and heavy; 根据第二段中的倒数第二句话:because unabridged dictionaries contain nearly all English words, they are large and heavy;故填large and heavy 77.schools and libraries;根据第二段的最后一句话:They are often used by schools and libraries. 可知unabridged dictionaries适用于学校和图书馆。故填schools and librarie 78.admitting new words;根据第三段的第二句话:可知英语是一种动态的语言,所以字典也应该及时地更新,允许心的单词加入。故填admitting new words 79.check;根据第四段的第一句话:In selecting a dictionary ,check the features it offers besides vocabulary definitions.可知题目中最后一个方框里的三条信息所讲的是选择字典时要检查词汇意外的特点,故填check 80.access to;根据全篇章的最后一句话:Some also contain CD-ROMS and access to special online features.可知,故填access to 【考点定位】生活类短文阅读。 【名师点睛】要求考生根据篇章内容和所给题目,进行快速阅读,锁定关键词。考查学生分清条理和查找关键词的能力。这种题目的难度不大,需要根据正确理解文章所说的内容,确定关键句子,找出关键词。有时也需要因为所填内容的限制,将关键词变形,例如78题,原文给出的是admits new words,因为要跟reflecting English as a dynamic language和recognizing changes in meaning, 保持一致,故admits要变成admitting。 9.【2015·湖南】Section B (10 mark.) Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage. Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New Things For most high school students, free periods are useless. From what I have seen, few do homework, instead many are on their phones and talking, making it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any. As a senior next year, I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects. Our school offers many classes. Now is the time to experiment in different fields of study. We will never - 171 - know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it. In my 8th grade, I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement; so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art. One of the projects was to build a clay pot, but I built mine incorrectly, so it broke in the kiln (窑). I found out that I have no artistic ability at all, and now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist. However, the class was one of my favorites that year. I was able to try new activities and test my ability. Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things! College is when we should focus on a specific major, but high school is when we have to figure it out. Half of all college students change their major at some point. By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take. So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college. The classes we choose can impact us in future. Taking optional subjects will enrich our mind. It will also show colleges we are diverse students. 81. How should we use our extra periods in the author's opinion? (No more than 9 words) (2 marks) _________________________________________________________________________________________ 82. Why does the author think we should experiment in different fields of study? (No more than 17 words) (2 marks) _________________________________________________________________________________________ 83. Why did the clay pot show the author's lack of artistic ability? (No more than 10 words) (3 marks) _________________________________________________________________________________________ 84.According to the author, how will taking optional subjects impact up in the future? (No more than 13 words) (3 marks) _________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 81.We should use them to take optional subjects. 82.We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject without trying it. 83.It was built incorrectly and broke in the kiln. 84.It will enrich our mind and show colleges we are diverse students. 【考点定位】人生哲理类短文阅读。 【名师点睛】这种有关人生类的哲理性短文,夹叙夹议,一定程度上相当于记叙文。首先一定要理清作者的思路,根据作者的思路搞清楚他想表达自己一个什么样的思想以及他从自己的经历或叙事当中的体会是什么。比如第三段中的句子:One of the projects was to build a clay pot, but I built mine incorrectly, so it broke in the kiln (窑). I found out that I have no artistic ability at all, and now I know for sure that I do not want to be an - 171 - artist.可知作者本来是想做一个艺术家,但通过烧窑做黏土锅这件事发现自己并不适合当艺术家。以此来鼓励作者根据自己的兴趣做一些尝试,成功失败都不重要,在年轻时丰富自己的经历和大脑才是首要事情。 10.【2015·新课标全国II】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。 Training for a marathon requires careful preparation and steady, gradual increases in the length of the runs. 36 , buy the best-fitting running shoes you can find.

But you can’t be successful when there’s a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake. Unfortunately, we’ve all been victims of betrayal. Whether we’ve been stolen from, lied to , misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore, 37. It’s understandable, but if you’re willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there. l 38 having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being. l 39 If you’ve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there’s a difference - 171 - between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives, we’ll have our trust tested or violated. l You didn’t lose “everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. 40 instead, it’s a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness. A. Learn to really trust yourself. B. It is putting confidence in someone. C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim. D. Remember that you can expect the best in return. E. They’ve been too badly hurt and they can’t bear to let it happen again. F. This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships. G. Seeing the positive side of things doesn’t mean you’re ignoring what happened. 【答案】 36. B 37. E 38. A 39. C 40. G 【解析】 试题分析:文章主要讲述了人们一旦失去了信任,如何再次建立信任。 36. B 根据前一句Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences信任是我们从以往经历中获得的学习行为。选项B中的it代指上文刚出现的trust。故选B。 37. E 根据前句Sometimes people simply can’t trust anymore.可知他们受到严重的伤害且不能忍受再次发生。可知选E。 38.

Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Youth sport has the potential to accomplish three important objectives in children’s development. First, sport programs can provide youth with opportunities to be physically active, which can lead to improved physical health. Second, youth sport programs have long been considered important to youth’s psychosocial development, providing opportunities to learn important life skills such as cooperation, discipline, leadership, and self-control. Third, youth sport programs are critical for the learning of motor skills; these motor skills serve as a foundation for future national sport stars and recreational adult sport participants. When coachers develop activities for youth practices and when sport organizations design youth-sport programs, they must consider the implication of deliberate play and deliberate practice. Research from Telama (2006) states that regular participation in deliberate play or deliberate practice activities during childhood and youth (ages nine to eighteen) increases the likelihood of participation in sports during adulthood by six times for both males and females. Côté (2002) defines deliberate play activities in sport as those designed to maximize enjoyment. These activities are regulated by flexible rules adapted from standardized sport rules and are set up by the children or by an involved adult. - 171 - Children typically change rules to find a point where their game is similar to the actual sport but still allows for play at their level. For example, children may change soccer and basketball rules to suit their needs and environment (e.g. in the street. on a playing field or in someone’s backyard). When involved in deliberate play activities, children are less concerned with the outcome of their outcome of their behavior. (whether they win or lose) than with the behavior. (having fun). On the other hand, Ericsson (1993) suggests that the most effective learning occurs through involvement in highly structured activities defined as deliberate practice. Deliberate practice activities require effort, produce no immediate rewards, and are motivated by the goal of improving performance rather than the goal of enjoyment. When individuals are involved in deliberate play, they experiment with different combinations of behaviors, but not necessarily in the most effective way to improve performance. In contrast, when individuals are involved in deliberate practice, they exhibit behavior. focused on improving performance by the most effective means available. For example, the backhand skills in tennis could be learned and improved over time by playing matches or by creating fun practice situations. However, players could more effectively improve their backhand performance by practicing drills that might be considered less enjoyable. Although drills are used in most effective means available practice might not be the most enjoyable, they might be the most relevant to improving performance. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS) 78. Besides the learning of motor skills, what are the other two important objectives of youth sport? 79.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine their meaning, you would not detect interest in romance among the artists. 51 , you would see plenty of animals with people running after them. Life for ancient people’s earned to center on hunting and gathering wild foods for meals. In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more 52 in people’s lives. The 53 is all around us. It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to do with love. An endless - 171 - number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture. Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be 54 . They ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, but clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard that opposites attract but that 55 attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone. First Impression To help determine the 56 of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and had them talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s individuality. Then students were asked to 57 what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened. As it turned out, their 58 judgments often held true. Students seemed to 59 at an early stage who would best fit into their lives. The 60 Knows Scientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction. Many animals give off pheromones — natural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a response in, other animals of the same species. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling 61 to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as 62 as other animals at detecting such chemicals. Smell, however, does seem to play a part in human attraction. Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and receive loads of information through smell in every interaction with other people. Face Value Being fond of someone seems to have a number of factors, including seeing something we find attractive. Researchers had people judge faces for 63 . The participants had 0.013 seconds to view each face, yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time to study the same faces. The way we 64 attractiveness seem to be somewhat automatic. When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations, people responded to 65 words faster after viewing an attractive face. Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy thinking. 51. A. Instead B. Therefore C. Moreover D. Otherwise 52. A. romantic B. stressful C. central D. artificial 53.

A. familiar B. plain C. positive D. irritating 【解析】 试题分析:古代和现代的人追求不同,现代人追求的是爱,但是科学家依然对爱还不是很清楚。 51. A 考查副词以及对语境的理解 Instead 意为相反,Therefore意为因此, Moreover意为此外, Otherwise 意为否则。观察空格前后的句式结构,可以前面用的是you would not detect … ,后面用的是you would see ,使用的动词不同,结构相同。由于前面有not,后面没有,所以可知此处表达为意思相反,所以答案为A。 52. C 考查形容词以及对语境的理解 romantic 意为浪漫的,stressful 意为压力的,central 意为中心的, artificial 意为人工的。根据上一句话“life for ancient people seemed to center on hunting”及本句的“In - 171 - modern times, finding love is ”,分析语境,知道这两个句子是把古代和现代的情况进行对比。前一句用了center ,后一句用central, 两者的关系是同根重现。 53. B 考查名词以及对语境的理解 priority 意为优先权,proof 意为证明,possibility 意为可能性,principle 意为原则。后两句的意思是:很容易准备一系列的有关爱的现代故事。在当前的流行文化中,无数的故事和电影归类为爱情故事。根据这两句,的意思,结合上下文语境可知道本句的意思就是有很多证明的例子,所以答案为proof. 54. D 考查动词以及对语境的理解 tested 意为测试,imposed意为强加,changed 意为改变,created 意为创造。根据本段的最后一句话“One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set in stone.确定了一件事情是:爱的真理还不确定”可以知道科学家研究的是爱是否能够创造,而不应该是测试,改变或者是强加。其中set in stone 就像中文里说的“板上钉钉”,表示绝对不变。 55. C 考查名词以及对语境的理解 appearances 意为外表,virtues 意为美德,similarities意为相似,passions 意为激情。根据划线部分前面的连词but 可以判断前后是转折的意思,而opposites意为相反的,所以答案为相似的。 56. C 考查名词以及对语境的理解 illustrations 意为说明,implications 意为含义;暗示;牵连,卷入;可能的结果,影响,ingredients 意为成分,intentions 意为意图,目的。根据小标题First Impression (第一印象)以及后面所描述的实验方法、内容和结果,可以知道实验的目的是决定吸引力的成分。 57. A 考查动词以及对语境的理解 predict 意为预测,investigate 意为调查,diagnose 意为诊断, recall 意为回忆。根据58题后面的judgment (判断),可以知道此处的答案应该是和判断同义的词。又根据该句后面的句子“after nine weeks, they reported what happened.9周之后,报道发生了什么事情?”可以知道这一些是还没有发生的事情,也就是预测到的东西。 58. B 考查形容词以及对语境的理解 critical 意为 批评的 ,initial 意为原始的 ,random 意为随意的, mature 意为成熟的。根据第57题预测的东西,那么预测的东西相对而言就是原始的,最初的判断。 59. B 考查动词以及对语境的理解 memorize 意为记忆,distinguish 意为区别,negotiate 意为谈判, question意为疑问。根据前一句话的意思“结果证明他们最初的判断是正确的”,该句要表达的意思和前一句相同,也就是说“学生似乎能够在早期区别适合他们的生活人”。 65. C 考查形容词以及对语境的理解 familiar 意为熟悉,plain 意为普通的, positive 意为积极的, irritating 意为无礼的。根据最后一句的表达“Seeing something attractive seems to cause happy thinking.看一些吸引力的事情似乎能够导致快乐的思考。”不能得出答案的表达应该是一种快乐思考,所以答案为positive积极的。 【考点定位】 这是一篇说明文,阐述什么是爱? 【名师点睛】这是一篇说明文,没有生词,主要是考查上下文理解和单词理解。需要正确理解4个单词的选项,尤其要注意一些一词多义的地方,如test, open, question。也要注意题目与题目直接的关系,如58题和59题;要关注小标题以及段落的开头和结尾。结合上下文,留意那些涉及到重现的题目。 - 171 - 专题二十一 短文改错 1.【2015·陕西】短文改错(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分) 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌系的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加:在缺词处加一个漏词符号(∧),并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除:把多余的词用斜线()划掉。 修改:在错的词下划一横线(),并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意:1.每处错误及修改均仅限一词; 2.只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分。 My soccer coach retired in last week.

If I was only a child when I studied in that classroom, I will never forget it. 【答案】 side-sides from-to sit-sitting easy-easily is-was them-it not 删除 in hurry- in a hurry felt-feel If-Although/Though 【解析】 试题分析:这是一篇介绍教室的文章。 side-sides 考查名词的单复数。根据前面的three,此处应该使用复数形式 from-to考查介词搭配 make of与make from两者都常用在被动语态中,表示“某物由.构成的”. make of 的原材料是看的到的,即平常我们说的物理现象,比如The chair is made of wood.椅子是有木头做成的。而make from的原材料是看不到的,比如Paper is made from the trees. 纸张是由木材做成的.是一种化学变化,从纸上是看不出一棵树滴. sit-sitting考查动名词 动词enjoy后接 ing形式。 easy-easily考查副词 此处的副词修饰动词see is-was考查动词的谓语时态 根据前后句的谓语时态都是使用过去的,所以这里面也需要用过去时态。 them-it考查代词 此处的it指代的是学校。 删除not 考查意思是否表否定 该句的意思应该是表达肯定而不是否定所以要删除not in hurry- in a hurry考查冠词 in a hurry 意为“立刻”,也是一个固定搭配 felt-feel 考查使役动词的法。 Make sb do sth,是使役动词的用法。 If-Although/Though考查连词的用法 ,根据句意“尽管在我读书的时候我是一个小孩,但我不会忘记它”表达让步,而不是条件。而且翻译为如果意思上也不通。 【考点定位】短文改错 - 171 - 【名师点睛】这种题目对语法的要求很高,要求注意上下文的,以及单词的用法,以及特殊用法、固定搭配等。其实这一些错误很有可能是在写作中会出现,所以,加强写作的练习对于这一种题目,也是有帮助的。另外,这种题目也可以改编一下,成为语法填空的题目。 4.【2015·新课标全国II】 短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧),并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除:把多余的词作斜线()划掉。 修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意:1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词; 2. 只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分。 One day , little Tony went to a shopping center with his parent.

If we are in the habit of raising doubts as to whether what we are told is true, we can find the correct answer and learn more. Two years ago, our teacher offered us an answer to a difficult math problem in class. Although the answer seemed a little strange, nobody but I doubted it. Thinking that his solution might be wrong, I carefully analyzed the problem and tried to work it out in a different way. Half an hour later, I managed to find the correct answer. When I showed my answer to him, the teacher praised me for my independent thinking. From this experience I have learnt that questioning can serve as a bridge that helps us to seek the truth. 【解析】 试题分析:本文是一篇“提纲类开放式”作文,沿袭了近几年的高考模式,要求根据提示,并结合具体事例,完成一篇英语短文。考生写作之前必须认真审题,注意描述具体事例时要用过去时态,人称用第一人称,内容紧紧围绕所给的主题,最后要有总结,形成首尾呼应。 【亮点说明】首句“Questioning can lead to searching for an answer.”鲜明地亮出了作者的观点。文章使用了状语从句“If we are in the habit of raising doubts as to whether what we are told is true, we can find the correct answer and learn more.”及分词做状语“Thinking that his solution might be - 171 - wrong,…”等句型,为文章增色不少。此外,一些短语的使用也恰到好处,如offer sb. sth.,work sth. out,manage to do sth.,praise sb. for sth.,serve as等。 【考点定位】考查“提纲类开放式”作文。 【名师点睛】今年的高考短文写作仍然沿袭了近几年的模式,考生对“提纲类开放式”作文比较熟悉。考生答题时,先提取关键词question,doubt,learn来确定中心,确保不走题。通过英文提示,考生很容易得出这一观点:质疑既是求知的一种方式,也是“批判性思维”的起点。这对引导考生进行独立思考,发展批判性思维,培养创新意识,极具启发和指导作用。 4.【2015·江苏】 书面表达 (满分 25 分) 81.请阅读下面文字及图表,并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章.

It not only affects our everyday life, but may also threaten people’s lives. The three selections presented above are typical examples. Quite a few things give rise to the traffic problem. In spite of the large-scale construction of roads and highways, there is still much room for improvement, because of the ever increasing number of cars these years. What’ s worse, some drivers, cyclists and pedestrians do not think it vital to obey traffic rules. In fact, traffic rules are part of the rules and regulations closely related to public order. Without them, people could not enjoy harmony or the country would be in chaos. But rules alone don’t secure an orderly society. It is the people who obey the rules that matter. It is everybody’s duty to observe them to keep our society in order and going on the right track.

Most of my classmates wanted to go to a park while I had an idea of going to a nicer peace. I managed to persuade my classmates into accepting my idea. We did have a good time that day . Good opinions are worth sticking to because they can benefit us all. An alternative student version: When I Have a Different Opinion We may have different opinions in organizing class activities.
