2013北京高考英语真题难度下降，四大特点凸显

新东方在线陶然

2013高考已拉下帷幕，新东方在线优能中学网络课堂、北京新东方优能中学高考英语辅导团队第一时间对2013高考各省英语卷进行了解析和点评，以下是陶然老师对北京卷的解析。

陶然老师表示，关于2013年高考英语的整体印象有以下四点：

第一，今年的命题灵活度显著下降

我们以往在命题的时候，探讨试卷的时候，总会谈到这样一个命题，命题的灵活度，考察在知识点都是固定的，通过什么样的方式把知识点呈现出来，这个题目学生看起来是什么样的表现形式，学生能够通过多少工作，把背后的考点挖出来。在以往几年的北京卷，从2010年到2012年，特别是2012年的高考，命题的灵活度是很强的，言下之意，这个题目给学生设立了很多障碍，需要思考一下，真正的考察意图把握一下。今年的命题灵活度显著下降，很直接发现题目在考什么，不是自己想的太多的话，这个题目都会做的很好。第二，考察语言的综合能力没有发生变化。

我们的英语考试一直在努力要求这么一件事，考察语言的综合运用能力。也稍微有点瘸腿，英语的语言应用，应该是听说读写译作，说和译是短板的局面，关于说口语考试，高考以前的四月份进行考察，考察和简单，各位都经历过，非常的简单，很容易。译的功能在高考里面暂时还没有体现，也是英文比较高级的要求。这时候要求语言综合能力。把独特的东西排除在外就是读和写的能力，读和写的能力，题型不变，考察的要求也不会变，考察语言的综合能力没有发生变化。

第三，传统的考点仍然保持。

经过了这么多年高考命题。从02年一直到今年，有12年的历史了，有些考点是重点，在今年的考试里面依然是重点，命题灵活度有些下降，这时候所谓的传统考点就是基础能力，能够把基础能力掌握的很好，这个卷子就能够做的很好。这是2013年考试比较显著的特征。第四，这个试卷的整体难度，相对于往年是大幅下降的.在考前其实有一些消息要传出来，包括我们也能在一些新闻里面看到，为了减轻考生的负担，今年要把考试难度下降一点，没有任何人想到会下降这么多。

以上是新东方在线优能中学网络课堂高考英语名师陶然老师对今年北京高考英语真题的四大印象，稍后将进行详细解析，敬请关注。

The Homeless Hero

For many，finding an unattended wallet filled with £400 in cash would be a source（来源）of temptation（诱惑）.But the 16would no doubt be greater if you wereliving on the streets with little food and money.All of this makes the actions ofthe homeless Tom Smith 17 more remarkable.After spotting a 18 on the front seat inside a parked car with its windowdown，he stood guard in the rain for about two hourswaiting for the 19 to return.After hours in the cold and wet, he 20 inside and pulled the wallet outhoping to find some ID so he could contact（联系）the driver，only to 21 it contained £400 in notes，with another £50 in spare change beside it.He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after 22 a note behind tolet the owner know it was safe.When the car’s owner John Anderson and his colleagueCarol Lawrence returned to thecar-which was itself worth £35，000—in Glasgowcitycentre，they were 23 to find two policemen standing next to it.Thepolicemen told them what Mr.Smith did and that the wallet was 24.The pair were later able to thank Mr.Smith for his25.Mr.Anderson said：““I couldn’t believe that the guy never took a penny.To think heis sleeping on the streets tonight 26 he could have stolen the money and paidfor a place to stay in.This guy hasnothing and 27he didn't take the wallet forhimself；he thought about others 28 it’s unbelievable.It just proves thereare 29 guys out there.”

Mr.smith’s act 30 much of the public’s attention.He also won praise fromsocial media users after Mr.Anderson 31 about the act of kindness onFacebook.Now Mr.Anderson has set up an online campaign to 32 money for Mr.Smith and other homeless people in the area, which byyesterday had received ￡8,000.“Ithink the faith that everyone has shown 33 him has touched him.People have beenapproaching him in the street;he's ha I job 34 and all sorts, ”Mr.Andersoncommented.For Mr.Smith, this is a possible life-changing 35.The story once againtells us that one good turn deserves another.16.A.hope B.aim C.urge D.effort 17.A.still B.even C.ever D.once 18.A.wallet B.bag C.box D.parcel 19.A.partner B.colleague C.owner D.policeman 20.A.turned B.hid C.stepped D.reached 21.A.discover B.collect C.check D.believe 22.A.taking B.leaving C.reading D.writing 23.A.satisfied B.excited C.amused D.shocked 24.A.safe B.missing C.found D.seen 25.A.service B.support C.kindness D.encouragement 26.A.when B.if C.where D.because 27.A.rather B.yet C.already D.just 28.A.too B.though C.again D.instead 29.A.honest B.polite C.rich D.generous 30.A.gave B.paid C.cast D.drew 31.A.learned B.posted C.cared D.heard 32.A.borrow B.raise C.save D.earn 33.A.of B.at C.for D.in 34.A.details B.changes C.offers D.applications 35.A.lesson B.adventure C.chance D.challenge

A

My First Marathon(马拉松)A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train.Yet, I was determined to go ahead.I remember back to my 7th year in school.In my first P.E.class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball.I didn't do either well.He later informedme that I was“ not athletic”.The idea that I was”not athletic“stuck with me for years.When I started runningin my 30s，I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition orwhether or not I was athletic.It was all about the battle against my own body and mind.A test of wills!The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn't even find the finish line.Iwoke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带)became untied.So Istopped to readjust.Not the start I wanted！

At mile3, I passed a sign:“ GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!”

By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly.Despitethe pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving！

As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign.She is my biggest fan.She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m.or questioned my expenses onrunning.I was one of the final runners to finish.But I finished!And I got a medal.In fact, Igot the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.Determined to be myself， move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签)，I can now call myself a”marathon winner”.36.A month before the marathon, the author.A.was well trained B.felt scared C.made up his mind to run D.Lost hope 37.Why did the author mention the P.E.class in his 7th year? A.To acknowledge the support of his teacher.B.To amuse the readers with a funny story.C.To show he was not talented in sports.D.To share a precious memory.38.How was the author's first marathon? A.He made it.B.He quit halfway.C.He got the first prize.D.He walked to the end.39.What does the story mainly tell us? A.Aman owes his success to his family support.B.A winner is one with a great effort of will.C.Failure is the mother of success.D.One is never too old to learn.B Find Your Adventure at the Space and Aviation(航空)Center If you're looking for a unique adventure, the Space and Aviation Center(SAC)is the place to be.The Center offers programs designed to challenge and inspire with hands-on tasks and lots of fun.More than 750,000 have graduated from SAC, with many seeking employment in engineering, aviation,education, medicine and a wide variety of other professions.They come to camp, wanting to know what it is like to be an astronaut or a pilot, and they leave with real-world applications for what they're studying in the classroom.For the trainees，the programs also offer a great way to earn merit badges(荣誉徽章).At Space Camp, trainees can earn their Space Exploration badge as they build andfire model rockets, learn about space tasks and try simulated(模拟)flying to space withthe crew from all over the world.The Aviation Challenge program gives trainees the chance to earn their Aviation badge.They learn the principles of flight and test theiroperating skills in the cockpit(驾驶舱)of a variety of flight simulators.Trainees alsoget a good start on their Wilderness Survival badge as they learn about water-and land-survival through designed tasks and their search and rescue of “downed“pilot.With all the programs, teamwork is key as trainees learn the importance ofleadership and being part of a bigger task.All this fun is available for ages 9 to 18.Families can enjoy the experience together,too, with Family Camp programs for families with children as young as 7.Stay an hour or stay a week--there is something here for everyone!For more details，please visit us online atwww.xiexiebang.com.40.Why do people come to SAC?

Plastic-Eating Worms Humans produce more than 300 million tons of plastic every year.Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场)，and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans.qSo farthere is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new studysuggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater waxmoth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics.The team left100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and theworms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it.To confirmthat the worms' chewing alone was notresponsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物)and applied it to plastic films.14hours later the films had lost 13%of their mass--apparently broken down by enzymes(酶)from the worms'stomachs.Their findings were published in Current Biology in2017.Federica Bertocchini, co-author of the study, says the worms'ability to break downtheir everydayfood-beeswax--also allows them to break down plastic ”Wax is acomplex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethylene, the carbon-carbon bond, is there as well, “she explains.”The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond.“ Jennifer Debruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was notinvolved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break downpolyethylene.But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breakingdown in this one exciting.The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause ofthe breakdown.Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)? Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team’s findings might one day help employ theenzyme to break down plastics in landfills.But she expects using the chemical in somekind of industrial process-not simply”millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic.”

43.What can we learn about the worms in the study? A.They take plastics as their everyday food.B.They are newly evolved creatures.C.They can consume plastics.D.They wind up in landfills.44.According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to.A.identify other means of the breakdown B.find out the source of the enzyme C.confirm the research findings D.increase the breakdown speed 45.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might.A.help to raise worms B.help make plastic bags C.be used to clean the oceans D.be produced in factories in future 46.What is the main purpose of the passage? A.To explain a study method on worms.B.To introduce the diet of a special worm.C.To present a way to break down plastics.D.To propose new means to keep eco-balance.D

Preparing Cities for Robot Cars The possibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist's dream,years away from materializing in the real world.Well, the future is apparently now.TheCalifornia Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companiesto test truly self-driving cars on public roads.The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for companies to operate driverless taxi services.California, it should be noted, isn't leading the way here.Companies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country.It's hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads.But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated.While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars(and rightfully so), policymakers also should be talking about how self-driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions(排放)and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options.The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared.Do we want to copy-or even worsen-the traffic of today with driverless cars?Imagine a future where most adults own individual self-driving vehicles.They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work,entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread.They taketheir driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking.Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus.The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport——an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride-hailing(叫车)services.A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol-powered private cars worldwide with electric, self-driving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure(基础设施)and operations40%by2050.Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing.The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride-hailing services, considering the cost of self-driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues(责任与维护问题).But driverless car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology.Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance ofdriverless vehicles doesn't extend the worst aspects of the car-controlled transportationsystem we have today.The coming technological advancement presents a chance forcities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people，and more affordably.The car of the future is coming.We just have to plan for it.47.According to the author，attention should be paid to how driverless cars can__________.A.help deal with transportation-related problems B.provide better services to customers C.cause damage toour environment D.make some people lose jobs 48.As for driverless cars，what is the author's major concern？ A.Safety.B.Side effects.C.Affordability.D.Management.49.What does the underlined word “fielded” in Paragraph 4 probably mean？

A.Employed.B.Replaced.C.Shared.D.Reduced.50.What is the author's attitude to the future of self-driving cars？ A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Disapproving.D.Sympathetic

Why Do We Get Angry？

Anger seems simple when we are feeling it，but the causes of anger are various.Knowing these causes can make us examine our behavior，and correct bad habits.The main reasons we get angry are triggering（触发）events，personality traits（特征），and our assessment of situations.51

Triggering events for anger are so many that to describe them all would takehundreds of pages.However, here are some examples: being cut off in traffic, adeadline approaching, experiencing physicalpain, and much more._52Thereason why someone is triggered by something and others are not is often due to one'spersonal history and psychologicaltraits.Each person.no matter who they are, has psychological imbalances.People whohave personality traits that conncct with competitiveness and low upset tolerance aremuch more likely to get angry.53 Also, sometimes pre-anger does not have todo with a lasting condition, but rather a temporary state before a triggering event hasoccurred.____54 Sometimes even routine occurrences become sources of pre-anger, oranger itself.Sometimes ignorance and negative(消极的)outlooks on situations cancreate anger.____55However, anger can easily turn violent, and it is best to know thereasons for anger to appear in order to prevent its presence.With these main reasons inmind, we can evaluate our level of angerthroughout the day and prevent cases ofoutbursts by comprehending the reasons for our feelings.A.Our attitude and viewpoint on situations can create anger within us as well.B.But some types of situations can help us to get rid of the occurrence of anger.C.Anger is rarely looked upon as a beneficial character trait, and is usually advised toreduce it.D.Anger is a particularly strong feeling and maybe people think that they have reasonsto feel angry.E.Having these personality traits implies the pre-anger state, where anger is in thebackground of your mind.F.Understanding these reasons will control our own anger if we are willing to evaluateourselves with a critical eye.G.Not everyone acts the same in response toevents, and that is why what triggers oneperson may or may not trigger another.第三部分:书面表达(共两节,35分)第一节(15分)假设你是红星中学高三学生李华,你的英国朋友Jim在给你的邮件中提到他 对中国文化感兴趣,计划明年来北京上大学。他向你咨询相关信息。请给他回邮件,内容包括: 1.表示欢迎； 2.推荐他上哪所大学;3.建议他做哪些准备工作。

第三篇：北京高考英语比率下降作文

Recently, Beijing’s education bureauhas decided thatthe rate of English score in college entrance examination was reduced.It causes much argument.There are lots of reasons.Firstly, it is effectless for students to spend much time in learning English.Secondly, A large number of studentscan’t speak English fluently,and they also afraid to speak English in public.Lastly,students put all of their energy into English,which makes them ignoring other important subjects,such as Chinese and Math.In my view,it is not reasonable to reduce the rate of score in college entrance examination.Learning a foreign language is helpful for opening our horizon and learning more knowledge.I thinkit is necessary to increase the rate of listening comprehension and add a part of spoken English.On the other hand,students should also attach importance to other subjects.

第一部分 听力（共两节，满分15分）略 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

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