第二篇：2014年四川高考英语试题评价

重基础强能力保稳定求发展

——2014年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语（四川卷）简评

四川省简阳中学特级教师杨勇军

今年的英语试题既传承了多年来“能力立意”的命题总体倾向和“清新、灵活”的风格，又有新的发展，很好地体现了“平稳推进”的命题主旨。试卷结构、考查题型、测试重点、分值分布、试题难度均保持了相对稳定，有利于中学教学。考点完全在《考试说明》规定的内容范围内，基本做到了测试内容抽样的典型化。试题的命制是基于对我省中学英语教学实际，特别是对高中英语课程改革实际和学生的认知能力的充分了解，突出了英语课程的人文性和工具性特征，所选材料蕴含了丰富的人文情感和积极向上的价值观，有较强的时代感。突出对学生英语综合运用能力的考查仍是试题的主体特征，试题能较全面地评价考生的英语综合运用能力，较好地完成了为高校科学选拔人才的目标，对中学新课程的全面实施能起到积极的推动作用。

2014年英语试题全卷立足于体现英语课程改革的基本精神，坚持注重基础、突出能力，试题“平稳”。具有如下主要特点：

1．重点突出，能力倾向明显

仔细研析，我们不难发现今年试题有一个新的突破：在不影响关键信息的前提下，阅读材料中出现个别考纲上没有的单词，而且没有加注汉语。这实际上是对学生模糊容忍度（tolerance of ambiguity）的考查，在阅读过程中能容忍一定的生词是一种能力，适当的模糊容忍度是

学生阅读理解所必需的。容忍一定生词的阅读具有真实性。这对高中英语阅读教学有较好的导向作用。

“阅读理解”体裁风格多样，涵盖了描写、叙述、应用、说明、议论各种文体，包括了广告、故事、新闻报道、科普等题材。文章内容新、时代感强，语言真实地道、可读性强，与考生的认知水平一致。A篇为志愿者招募海报，B篇是童年趣事，C篇是9岁女童勇敢救父的新闻报道，D篇是关于部分青年的“夜猫子”生活模式分析，E篇涉及性别行为差异研究。这些含有丰富信息量的材料，既让考生在阅读过程中充分体验地道的英语，又能引发考生的语言行为，在答题过程中尽显各类阅读能力。试题设置灵活，能够较为全面地考查考生获取和处理各个层次信息的能力，对考生的推理、判断、分析、综合、归纳和解决问题的能力也能有较好的考查。阅读理解试题问题简洁、清楚，只要考生真正读懂文章就能正确作答。

阅读理解

（二）“补全对话”语境清楚、真实，语言简洁，着重考查考生在真实语境中的逻辑思维能力和语言运用能力。

2．设置科学，凸显人文性

试题设计充满和谐、温馨和亲情。“完形填空”文章突出了人与自然的和谐关系，内容有趣，难度适当，可读性强。考点设置科学，重点考查对语篇意义和语境的理解，层次分明，实词和虚词比例合理。考点所涉及词汇层次比往年明显增多。“阅读表达”讲述了作者以一种特殊方式给父亲过60岁生日，带给父亲一个大惊喜。问题设置更巧妙，考生必须在读懂原文的前提下，用自己的话回答问题，无法直接从原文中

找到现成答案。对考生表达能力有较高要求。该题命制在去年基础上，质量又有提高，更加规范、科学。

3．注重基础，考查综合运用能力

“单项填空”对语言知识的考查均是中学英语教学中最基础、最常用的语法知识，试题的语境清楚、语言简洁，重点考查了考生在具体语境中运用语法知识的能力。无单纯考查语法知识的题，无陷阱题、难题。

“短文改错”内容涉及学校安全教育，考查考生写作时易犯的典型错误，难度适中。

“书面表达”题以回顾考生高考经历为话题，每位考生都有话可写。对语言使用的考查比较全面，涉及到多种时态、句式的应用，具有较好的内容考查效度。

总之，2014年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（四川卷）英语试卷既保持了往年的优秀之处，又有所突破、有所创新，是一套质量颇高的试题。

第三篇：2005年高考英语试题及答案

第一节 填空（共10小题上，每小题1分，满分10分）

短文阅读，根据所读内容在文后76～85的空格里填上适当的单词或短语，并将答案转写到答题卡上。

注意每空一超过3个单词。

个单词。The population of the United States is growing older and will continue to do so.According to a report,___39___million Americans will be 65 or older by the year 2010,___51___million by 2020, and 65 million by 2030.The “graying” of the United States is mainly due to the fact that people in the U.S.are living longer.As a matter of fact, the number of U.S.citizens 85 years old and older is growing six times as fast as the rest of the population.It is also largely due to the old-growing of the “baby boomers”, the generation born after World War II.In 1957, over 4.3 million babies were born.More than 75 million Americans were born between 1946 and 1964, the largest generation in U.S.history.In less than twenty years, millions of them will become elderly people.The “graying” of the U.S.will greatly affect the nation’s family and workforce.One likely development will be a gradual change in the family unit;it will move away from the nuclear family and towards a multigenerational family.The other likely development will be a change in the proportion(比例)of the nation’s

workforce.In 1989 there were 3.5 workers for every person 65 and older;by the year 2030, there will only be 2 workers for every person 65 and older.Title: 1.________

in August.It seems all the activities you offer are attractive and meaningful.But I’d like to attend the English lectures, from which I can get more information on British and American culture.With the coming of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, more and more foreigners are eager to know about China.So I hope to teach foreigners Chinese and spread Chinese culture.It’s been a dream for me to visit Beijing.Could you organize a tour around the city during the camp?

Thank you very much.Yours truly,Li Ping

第四篇：2014高考英语试题

2014全国高考汇编之状语从句

14安徽）25．The meaning of the word “nice' changed a few timesit finally came to include the sense ”pleasant."

A.beforeB.afterC.sinceD.while

【考点】考察状语从句连词词义辨析【答案】A

【解析】连词before在„之前；after在„之后；since自从，既然；D当„时；然而；句义：在“nice”这个词最后包括有“pleasant”的意义之前，它的意思已经变化了好几次了。本句中的副词finally说明最后nice包括有“pleasnt”的意思，说明意义多次变化是之前发生的事情。

【举一反三】You can’t borrow books from the school library ______ you get your student card.A.beforeB.ifC.whileD.as

〖答案〗A〖考点〗本题考查状语从句的引导词。

〖解析〗该句的意思是：在你得到你的学生卡之前你不能从学校图书馆借书。所以选before（14北京）29.____the forest park is far away, a lot of tourists visit it every year.A.As B.When C.Even though D.In case

【考点】考察状语从句连词辨析 【答案】C

【解析】本题的状语从句连词都是常用的连词。As由于，因为；随着；when当„时；even though即使，尽管；in case以防；句意：即使那个森林公园很遥远，但是每年都有很多游客到那里参观。根据句意可知上下文之间有转折关系，所以使用even though表示让步转折关系。（2014湖南卷）21.Children，whenby their parents, are allowed to enter the stadium.A.to be accompanied B.to accompany C.accompanying D.accompanied

【考点】考察状语从句和省略 【答案】D

【解析】本题考察的是状语从句的省略：当状语从句的主语和主句主语一致且含有be动词的时候，可以把状语从句的主语和be动词一起省略。本题在when的后面省略了they are。因为children和动词allow构成被动关系，所以使用过去分词表示被动。句义：当孩子有父母亲陪伴的时候，他们是被允许进入体育馆的。故D正确。

【试题延伸】本题考察是状语从句的省略，实际上可以把when也省略掉，就变成了非谓语动词中的分词做状语的用法。

【举一反三】The experiment shows that proper amounts of exercise, ifregularly, can improve our health.A.being carried out B.carrying out C.carried out D.to carry out

〖答案〗C 〖考点〗本题考查if条件句中的省略情况。

本句的句子的主语是the experiment；谓语动词是shows；that引导宾语从句, 宾语从句的主干事：proper amounts of exercise can improve our health, if_____ regularly是插入的条件从句, 从句的主语是proper amounts of exercise, 此时应用it代替前面提到的主语, 条件句的主语与主句的主语一致, 并且含有is, 故省略了it is, 完整形式是： 1

if it is carried out。句意为：这项实验表明, 适当的运动, 如果有规律的进行, 能够有助于我们的身体健康。

（2014湖南卷）26.You will never gain successyou are fully devoted to your work.A.whenB.becauseC.afterD.unless

【考点】考察状语从句中的连词辨析【答案】D

【解析】本句主要考察连词辨析。When当„时；because因为；after在„之后；unless除非，如果„不„；句义：如果你不能努力工作，你永远都成功不了。本句中的unless相当于if„not„根据句义说明D正确。

【举一反三】It is hard for the Greek government to get over the present difficulties_________ gets more financial support from the European Union.A.ifB.unlessC.becauseD.since

【考点】考查从句的连词【答案】B

【解析】根据句意可知“除非有来自欧洲联盟的更多的经济支持，否则希腊政府很难克服目前的困难”，只能选择unless“除非”才能使句意完整。考查状语从句的连词题事实上非常简单，只要找到句中的关键词，然后从句意上去排除就行了，本题关键词是hard和more financial support。

（14江苏）21.Lessons can be learned to face the future,history cannot be changed.A.thoughB.asC.sinceD.unless

【考点】考察状语从句连词辨析【答案】A

【解析】Though尽管；as随着，因为；since自从，既然；unless除非，如果„不„；句意：尽管历史不能改变，但是为了面对未来我们还是要从历史中学会教训。根据句意可知上下文之间存在着转折关系，所以使用though表示让步和转折。

【举一反三】It was a nice meal, _______a little expensive.A.thoughB.whetherC.asD.since

【答案】A【考点】考查连词。句意：那顿饭真美味，尽管有点贵。Though”尽管”，引导让步状语从句，该句使用了省略形式，补全为“though it was a little expensive”注意as也可以表示“尽管”，但as作此意时必须使用倒装结构。

（2014江西卷）35.It was the middle of the night __ my father woke me up and told me to watch the football game.A.thatB.asC.whichD.when

【考点】考察状语从句【答案】D

【解析】本句中的when引导的是一个时间状语从句。句义：当我的父亲把我叫醒并我告诉我看足球赛的时候，那时在半夜。本句容易错选A项，认为是强调句型。实际上the middle of the night不能单独做时间状语，如果在the middle of the night前面加上in，本题就可以选择A项了。

（2014山东卷）2.I don’t really like the author,_______ I have to admit his books are very exciting.A.althoughB.unlessC.untilD.once

【考点】考察状语从句连词辨析【答案】A

【解析】本题考察的是状语从句的连词表示。Although尽管；unless除非，如果„不„；until直到„才„；once一旦；句义：尽管我承认这本书很精彩，但是我并不喜欢这本书的作者。根据句义可知上下文之间存在这转折关系，四个选项中只有A项表示上下文的转折。

【试题延伸】此题主要考查连词的辨析，选择连词主要是看前后句的关系，因果关系用表因果的连词，转折关系用转折连词，并列关系用并列连词，要求考生具有一定的句子分析能力和词义辨析能力。

【举一反三】I don't believe we've met before,I must say you do look familiar.A.thereforeB.although

C.sinceD.unless

【答案】B【解析】句意：尽管我一定说你确实看起来熟悉，但我相信我们以前没见过面。根据句意只有although符合题意。

（2014陕西卷）24.The young couple, who returned my lost wallet, left _______ I could ask for their names.A.whileB.beforeC.afterD.since

【考点】考察状语从句连词辨析【答案】B

【解析】本题考察的是状语从句连词辨析.while当„时；然而；before在„之前；after在„之后；since自从；before有多种不同的翻译方法。句义：归还我丢掉的钱包的那对年轻的夫妻在我问他们名字之前就离开了。故B正确。

【举一反三】You can’t borrow books from the school library ______ you get your student card.A.beforeB.ifC.whileD.as

〖答案〗A〖考点〗本题考查状语从句的引导词。

〖解析〗该句的意思是：在你得到你的学生卡之前你不能从学校图书馆借书。所以选before。（2014四川卷）8.I'll be out for some time.______ anything important happens, call me up immediately.A.In caseB.As ifC.Even thoughD.Now that

【考点】考察状语从句连词辨析【答案】A

【解析】本题四个连词都是状语从句中常考的连词。in case“万一，以防”；as if“似乎，好像”；even though“即使，尽管”；now that“既然，由于”（now有时可以省略）。句意：我要出去一下。万一有什么重要事，请立刻打我电话。根据句义说明A正确。

（14天津卷）4._______ you start eating in a healthier way, weight control will become much easier.A.unlessB.AlthoughC.BeforeD.Once

【答案】D 【解析】unless除非„；如果„不„；although尽管；before在„之前；once一旦，曾经；句义：一旦你开始以一种健康的方式吃饭，控制体重就会变得更加容易。根据句义可知once表示“一旦”，引导条件状语从句。故D正确。

【举一反三】they decide which college to go to, students should research the admission procedures.A.AsB.WhileC.UntilD.Once

〖答案〗D 〖考点〗本题考查连词。

〖解析〗此题重在句意的判断。“一旦学生们决定了去哪所大学读书, 他们就得研究下办理入学的手续。”A.As当；因为...B.while做连词强调一件事发生时另外一个动作正在进行；C.Until直到...D.Once一旦。因此选D

（2014浙江卷）15.Cathy had quit her job when her son was born _______ she could stay home and raise her family.A.now thatB.as ifC.only ifD.so that

【考点】考察状语从句连词辨析 【答案】D

【解析】本题中的连词短语now that既然；as if似乎，好像；only if只要„；so that以至于，结果是；句意：当Cathy的儿子出生的时候，Cathy一句辞职了，以至于他可以待在家里抚养孩子。根据句意可知本句中的so that引导的是一个目的状语从句，从句中常常会有其他动词can等。根据句意说明D项正确。

Part III

Reading Comprehension(40%)

(35minutes)

Directions: There are four passages in this part.Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements.For each question, there are four choices marked A), B), C)and D).You should choose the best answer.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage One Questions 33 to 37 are based on the following passage.An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault(断层).A fault is a fracture in the crust(地壳)of the earth along which rock on one side have moved relative to those on the other side.Stresses in the earth’s outer layer push the sides of the fault together, build up and the rocks slips suddenly, releasing energy in waves that travel through the rock to cause the shaking that we feel during an earthquake.Earthquakes tend to be concentrated in narrow zones.There are 7 major crustal plates on earth, about 80 km thick, all in constant motion relative to one another.They move at between 10 and 130mm per year.It is estimated that there are several million earthquakes in the world each year.Many of these earthquakes go undetected because they occur in remote areas or have very small magnitudes(震级).The USGS Earthquake Information center locates 12,000 to 14,000 earthquakes each year(about 35 per day).On average, about 60 earthquakes per year are classified as significant, with 19 classified as major.A significant earthquake is one of magnitude 6.5 or higher or one of lesser magnitude that causes casualties(伤亡)or considerable damage.Major earthquakes have a magnitude larger than 7.0.33.The main idea of the passage is _____A

A)how earthquakes are formed and classified B)how earthquakes can be predicted and located C)earthquakes do not so often occur on the earth D)earthquakes are considered to be a threat to humans 34.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in this passage?D A)Earthquakes of large magnitudes cause casualties.B)Earthquakes often happen in narrow zones.C)Earthquakes involve the release of energy D)Earthquakes can cause waves in the sea.35.What can we learn form the passage?B A)Scientists can locate most earthquakes B)Earthquakes are very common on the earth.C)Scientists can find a way to prevent earthquakes.D)More earthquakes of higher magnitudes are detected than those of lower ones.36.How do scientists distinguish a significant earthquake from a major earthquake?C A)A significant earthquake is of higher magnitude.B)A significant earthquake can kill more people.C)A major earthquake is of higher magnitude.D)A major earthquake is of lower magnitude.37.The word ”fracture”(Line 1, paragraph 1)most probably means__D__.A)a stress in the crust

C)an outer layer of the crust B)a large hole in the rock

D)a cracked part in the rock

Passage Two Questions 33 to 42 are based on the following passage.Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you know was in trouble — and he was? Have you ever dreamed something that came true later？Maybe you have a sixth sense(SS).This sense seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.Here’s an example: A woman was ironing clothes.Suddenly she screamed, “My father is dead!I saw him sitting in the chair!” Just then, a telegram came.The woman’s father died of a heart attack.He died sitting in a chair.There are thousands of stories like this one on record.Scientists are studying them to find out what’s behind these strange mental messages.Here’s another example — one of hundreds of dreams that have come true：

A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by.The driver said，”There’s room for one.“The man felt the driver seemed dead.So he ran away.The next day，the man was getting on a crowded bus.The bus driver said，”There’s room for one more.“ Then the man saw that the driver’s face was the same face he had seen in the dream.He wouldn’t get on the bus.As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames.Everyone was killed!

Some people say stories like these are lies or coincidences — things that happen by chance.Others, including some scientists, say that the SS is real.From studies of it, we may someday learn more about the human mind.38.This article is mainly about__C__.A)the five senses

Part Ⅴ Wring（15%）

（30minutes）Directions：For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition of no less than 100 words on Food Safety.Remember your composition must be written according to the following outline.Write composition on the Composition Sheet in Test Paper Two.Outline: 1.人们对食品的安全越来越担心 2.怎样才能解决好食品的安全问题 Words for reference: Worried, polluted, poison, harm, law, punish Food Safety in China

With the growing awareness of healthy eating, more and more people now are paying more attention to the importance of healthy diet and an active life.But at the same time, a growing unrest over food safety in the China has caught everyone’s concern.When it comes to the food safety incidents, especially 2008 Chinese milk scandal, every consumer has much anger to pour upon them.In September 2008, a fresh outbreak of kidney disease occurred, due to baby formula contaminated by melamine.Three babies died and over 6,000 were made sick by the tainted formula.The supplier of the milk, Sanlu Group, is a name brand and is a major player in the industry in China.The company is said to have known of the problem for months, but claims the contaminant came from milk suppliers.Who should be main responsible for these serious incidents like milk scandal? On one hand, complex China’s food regulations should shoulder part duties.We should realized its monitoring system can be unresponsive, and the government departments that oversee and enforce policies have overlapping and often ambiguous duties.On the other, food producers and suppliers lack deserved responsibility for consumers!What they cares is only their own interest and profit maximization.In my opinion ,everyone involved in it should set up a high responsibility for others, law related should be passed and carried out.Only in this way can we come by a healthy eating and a harmonious world.
