It was one of those terribly hot days in Baltimore.Needless to say, it was too hot to do anything outside.But it was also scorching in our apartment.This was 1962, and I would not live in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years.So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors.He suggested we could see a movie.It was a brilliant plan.Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit
all day and—most important —sit in air conditioning.In those days, you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies.Then, the theater would show the same two movies again.If you wanted to, you could sit through them twice.Most people did not do that, but the manager at our theater.Mr.Bellow did not mind if you did.That particular day, my brother and I sat through both movies twice, trying to escape the heat.We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each.Then, we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.We’d already seen the second movie once before.It had been at the theater since January, because Mr.Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it.We left the theater around 8, just before the evening shows began.But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again, twice more.And we did it the next day too.Finally, on the fourth day, the heat wave broke.Still, to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart’s dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance!Those memories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962.They’re really memories of the screen, not memories of my life.46.In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner?

Elizabeth Freeman was born about 1742 to African American parents who were slaves.At the age of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by John Ashley, a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholders.She became known as ―Mumbet‖ or ―Mum Bett.‖
For nearly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family.One day, Ashley’s wife tried to strike Mumbet’s sister with a spade.Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead.Furious, she left the house and refused to come back.When the Ashleys tried to make her return, Mumbet consulted a lawyer, Theodore Sedgewick.With his help, Mumbet sued(起诉)for her freedom.While serving the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution.If the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then she thought it should apply to her.Eventually, Mumbet won
her freedom----the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution.Strangely enough, after the trial, the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee.She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick.Mumbet died in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descendants(后裔).One of her great-grandchildren was W.E.B.Du Bois, one of the founder of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights.Mumbet’s tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried.It reads, in part: ―She was born a slave and remained a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty years.She could neither read nor write, yet in her own sphere she had no superior or equal.‖

How fit are your teeth? Are you lazy about brushing them? Never fear: An inventor is on the case.An electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your performance on your phone.The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week.It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection.The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right(don’t forget the insides of the teeth!)and make sure you’re brushing long enough.―It’s kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,‖ says Thomas Serval, the French inventor.The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could, for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush.You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth.―We try to make it smart but also fun,‖ Several says.Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father.He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth.They said ―yes,‖ but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry.He decided he needed
a brush that really told him how well his children brushed.The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer, for $99 to $199, developing on features.The U.S.is the first target market.Serval says that one day, it’ll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera.The camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush.56.Which is one of the feature of the Kolibree toothbrush?A.It can sense how users brush their teeth.B.It can track users’ school performance.C.It can detect users’ fear of seeing a dentist.D.It can help users find their phones.57.What can we learn from Serval’s words in Paragraph 3?A.You will find it enjoyable to see a dentist.B.You should see your dentist on a day-to –day basis.C.You can brush with the Kolibree as if guided by a dentist.D.You’d来自:http:///gaokao/ like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day.58.Which of the following might make the Kolibree toothbrush fun?

The kids in this village wear dirty, ragged clothes.They sleep beside cows and sheep in huts made of sticks and mud.They have no school.Yet they all can chant the English alphabet, and some can make words.The key to their success: 20 tablet computers(平板电脑)dropped off in their Ethiopian village in February by a U.S.group called One Laptop Per Child.The goal is to find out whether kids using today’s new technology can teach themselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist.The Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers analyzing the project data say they’re already amazed.―What I think has already happened is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of kindergarten,‖ said Matt Keller, who runs the Ethiopia program.The fastest learner—and the first to turn on one of the tablets—is 8-year-old Kelbesa Negusse.The device’s camera was disabled to save memory, yet within weeks Kelbesa had figured out its workings and made the camera work.He called himself a lion, a marker of accomplishment
in Ethiopia.With his tablet, Kelbasa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many English animal names he knows.Then he spelled words on his own.―Seven months ago he didn’t know any English.That’s unbelievable,‖ said Keller.The project aims to get kids to a stage called ―deep reading,‖ where they can read to learn.It won’t be in Amharic, Ethiopia’s first language, but in English, which is widely seen as the ticket to higher paying jobs.62.How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village?
A.It trains teachers for them.B.It contributes to their self-study.C.It helps raise their living standards.D.It provides funds for building schools.63.What can we infer from Keller’s words in Paragraph 3?A.They need more time to analyze data.B.More children are needed for the research.C.He is confident about the future of the project.D.The research should be carried out in kindergartens.64.It amazed Keller that with the tablet Kelbesa could _______.A.learn English words quickly.B.draw pictures of animals.C.write letters to researchers.D.make phone calls to his friends.65.What is the aim of the project?
A.To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs.B.To make Amharic widely used in the world.C.To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English.D.To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language.第II卷(共45分)

[1] Nowadays the cost of a new car has fallen in real terms so that it is cheaper than ever to own one, and better road conditions have also attracted more drivers.The result is overcrowding on the road system, which is one of the problems the local governments are faced with.[2] When people travel to other towns, the problem might be relieved by getting them to park outside the town.来自:http:///gaokao/Buses could be provided to take them into the centre.These Park and Ride projects are increasingly popular in the UK.At Southerton, for example, a council-funded project led to a 15% drop in city centre traffic over five months.[3] What the council found, though, was that the project proved somewhat unpopular with shop owners in the area outside the centre.Many of their shops relied on passing car drivers for some of their trade.As the number of people driving past dropped, so did their incomes.[4] Making car driving expensive is another way of ____________.Road taxes tend to mean that people use their cars less.Fining drivers who are in areas where cars have been banned can also tend to encourage them to leave their cars behind.[5] However, one thing has to be got right for any solution to succeed.If we expect people to give up the habit of driving, we must give them an alternative they can rely on.Constant delays, unannounced changes to the timetable and sudden cancellations all discourage people from using public
transport.People will only see it as a real choice if the buses and trains are on time.66.What causes overcrowding on the road system according to Paragraph 1?(no more than 12 words)

第二篇:2014年高考(山东卷)英语试题评析
结构变 选材精 设题妙 难度稳
——2014年高考(山东卷)英语试题评析
2014年高考山东卷英语试题的试卷结构较往年有了较大的变化,取消了听力部分考试,减少了5个单项填空试题,增加了一篇10个小题的完形填空和5个阅读理解题。试题在选材和命制等方面沿袭了历年来山东卷的风格,所选文章话题丰富、体裁多样;试题设计精益求精、稳中有变;试题难度稳定,没有因为试卷结构的变化而出现大的波动。
一、结构微调
2014年我省英语试题取消了听力部分,将单项填空部分由以往的15个小题调整为10个小题,增加了一篇10个小题的完形填空和5个阅读理解题。
单项填空部分没有刻意追求语法点的覆盖面,而是重点考查了几个语法项目,如定语从句、名词性从句、非谓语动词、时态、连词和代词等,这些语法考点均出自我省高考考试说明中所列的语法项目表,突出了中学英语教学的重点;增加的完形填空(A篇)为一则关于鹦鹉的小幽默,内容轻松有趣,结尾出人意料,令人捧腹,这有利于考生放松紧张的心情,从容作答;阅读理解部分较往年增加了1篇文章,5篇总阅读量为1436词,比2013年增加了94词,选项为986词,比2013年增加了262词。
二、选材精细
2014年我省英语试题一共选用了8篇短文,这些短文话题丰富、体裁多样、语言地道、风格不
一、信息量大,能让考生充分体会到英语语言的魅力。
完形填空A篇文章是一则关于鹦鹉的小幽默,语言简单易懂,内容轻松有趣,结尾出人意料;完形填空B篇讲述了一位加拿大女医生冲破性别歧视的樊篱救死扶伤的故事。阅读理解A篇文章讲述了一只走失的小狗和收留它的人家之间发生的感人故事;B篇讲述了作者与其兄弟两个为了躲避酷暑而连续几天到电影院看电影的趣事;C篇介绍了美国历史上一位勇于追求自由的女性黑奴Elizabeth1
Freeman;D篇介绍了一种新的科技发明——智能牙刷;E篇介绍了一个使用平板电脑帮助非洲孩子阅读学习的项目。阅读表达文章从交通拥堵这一现实问题切入,通过具体例子及细节介绍相关应对措施,倡导人们充分使用公共交通方式,并指出缓解该问题的关键是提升公共交通服务的质量。
这些文章语言原汁原味,内容积极向上,既能满足考查的需要,也有利于培养考生的情感态度价值观,符合高中英语新课程改革的理念。
三、设题巧妙
2014年我省英语试题在试题的设计上既继承了历年来不偏不怪的命题思路,又不墨守陈规,勇于探索,试题设计灵活巧妙。
单项填空题避免了机械的语法知识考查,而是将语法知识融入到完整自然的语境中进行考查,考生在答题时必须依靠语境结合所学语法知识作答。以第8题为例,考生必须理解答语中后半部分的含义,才能够弄清楚整个题的语境信息,从而得出正确答案。
完形填空题注重考查考生结合词汇、语法、语篇知识及生活常识进行逻辑推理和综合判断的能力,而非简单考查个体词汇使用及对单句的理解。其中A篇全文共154个词,空格之间的间隔约为13个词。除首句及末句外,每句均设空1-2个。空格分布均匀,相邻空格间隔适当,避免了提示信息过多或过少的情况。考点分布合理,10个题目考查对象均为实词,其中动词5项,名词4项,形容词1项。B篇全文共292个词,空格分布均匀,相邻空格间隔适当。考点分布合理,20个题目考查对象均为实词,其中动词12项,名词5项,形容词2项,副词1项。
阅读理解题在题目设置方面,除64题外,其余全部采用完整问句的提问方式,这符合语言测试的规范。题干及选项的设置简洁、精炼,没有使用考试说明词汇表以外的词汇。题目涉及对细节的理解、推测上下文逻辑指代关系、理解主旨要义等多个方面,注重多角度考查考生的理解、分析和概括能力。
阅读表达部分试题设计精巧且多样化,从多角度考查考生的英语阅读和表达
能力,66、67题考查考生准确把握篇章信息的能力,68、70题考查考生对相关信息进行准确判断并概括归纳的能力,69题考查考生根据语境进行逻辑推理的能力。其中69题的设置尤为巧妙,既有较强的上下文提示和逻辑关系限定,又给考生一定的发挥空间,考生可从多个角度作答。
今年我省英语作文题一改沿用多年的书信形式,要求考生从所给的两句谚语中选择一句为题写一篇作文,解释该谚语的含义并讲述能体现该谚语含义的个人经历,形式新颖。题中给出的两句谚语“A friend in need is a friend indeed.”“Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”都是中学生耳熟能详的,考生在审题时不会有障碍。两句谚语所蕴含的道理浅显易懂,贴近考生生活和经验,能够保证考生有话可说,利于考生展现其语言运用能力。题中给出两句谚语,给考生一定的选择空间,这样做既不会增加考生审题的负担,也有利于避免考生因不熟悉谚语而无话可说的情况出现。
四、难度稳定
与往年相比,2014年试题难度适中,虽然试卷结构有一定的调整,但是试题难度并没有出现大的起伏。主要表现在:
1.试题阅读量相对稳定
2014年试题总词量为3827词,2013年为3788词。虽然2014年较以往试题增加了两篇文章,但是试卷总词量仅比2013年增加了39词。同时试卷中的词汇基本上都是考试说明中词汇表内的词汇,超纲词汇非常少,这有利于保证试题难度的稳定。
2.新增试题难度适中
2014年新增试题(完形填空与阅读理解部分)难度较低,与往年听力部分试题难度大致相同,其余部分试题在选材与设题上与往年风格类似、难度相当,这有利于保证试题难度不出现大的波动。
总之,2014年高考山东卷英语试题的风格沿袭了历年来不偏不怪、难度稳定、弘扬正能量的特点,同时在材料选择、试题设计等方面做了适当的调整,这样考
生对试题既不觉得陌生,又感到有一定的新意,有利于考查考生真实的语言能力,有利于选拔人才,也有利于对中学英语教学起到积极的引导作用。
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.________

Dear Sir or Madame,I’m very glad to be invited to the English summer camp.I prefer to go in July because I’ll have to prepare myself for the new school term
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:2013年普通高考(山东卷)英语试题评析
2013年普通高考(山东卷)英语试题评析
2013年高考(山东卷)英语试题风格与往年保持相对稳定,难度适中,不偏不怪,内容丰富,试题考点都是中学常见常考的内容。同时,试题在选材、设题等方面进行了优化和一定程度的创新。各题型的具体特点如下:
1.听力部分话题丰富,贴近考生
试题秉承了往年一贯的风格:整体难度与往年保持基本一致,语音清晰,语速适当,内容生活化,题目设置合理。话题都源自考生熟悉的日常生活场景,话题覆盖面广,对话内容逻辑清楚,语言流畅,难度适中。
2.单项填空考点微调,目标明确
单项填空题避免了机械的语法知识考查,而是将语法知识融入到完整自然的语境中进行考查,考生在答题时不会有陌生感,容易理解。
今年该部分没有专门考查词汇知识的试题,主要考查了一些基础的语法知识如时态、状语从句、定语从句、名词性从句、非谓语动词、代词、冠词、介词等,同时该题突出了中学英语教学的几个重点和难点,其中第24、27题分别考查了一般过去时和现在完成时的用法,第31、35题考查了定语从句的相关知识,第25、29、33题考查了非谓语动词的用法,第26、28题考查了状语从句的相关知识。
3.完形填空注重选材,导向积极
完形填空题选用了一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个凡事总以自我为中心的年轻人,在经历一番挫折和反思之后,终于明白了为人处世的道理,从而变得善良而又成熟的故事。在当今社会,我们都不是孤立的个体,在生活中应打开心扉,与周围的人多沟通、多交流,多关爱他人,这样我们在帮助他人的过程中自己也可以获得友谊和幸福感。该文主题明确,条理清晰,叙事通畅明了,逻辑性强,语言地道生动,内容颇具教育意义,有助于学生形成正确的情感态度和价值观。完形填空考查了7个动词、6个名词、5个形容词、1个代词和1个连词,重点考查考生根据上下文选择恰当词汇的能力,考点设置合理,20个题目考查对象以实词为主,考查目标明确。在干扰项的设计上,避免了干扰项与正确选项意义相反或相近度过高而引起的干扰性过弱或过强的情况,以使考生的作答情况 1
能充分反映出不同层次考生对短文的理解程度和综合运用英语的能力。由于完形填空题选用的是记叙文,学生比较容易掌握故事梗概,因此本题整体难度不大。
4.阅读理解难易得当,设题合理
阅读理解部分4篇文章体裁、题材各不相同,分别涉及求职奇遇、人物传记、科技发明和商务案例等。A、B两篇文章难度较小,C、D两篇文章难度稍大,4篇文章在难度上拉开档次,有利于区分不同层次的考生。阅读理解部分在词汇量以及超纲词的处理上也保持了往年的风格。阅读量与往年保持相对稳定,超纲词汇不多,个别超纲词汇加了汉语注释,有助于考生理解文章。
试题有考查主旨大意的题,有考查推理判断的题,有考查代词指代内容的题,也有考查事实细节的题。各题信息定位具体,考点分布均匀,语言表达简洁、准确。20个题目中有18个以完整问句的形式出现,这符合阅读理解题的考查原则。另外,C篇文章配了插图,既有助于考生理解,又使得试卷更加活泼,不沉闷。
5.阅读表达设题巧妙,注重能力
阅读表达题文章讲述了美国石油大亨Jean Paul Getty的故事。题目设计巧妙,独具匠心,既考查了考生对段落主旨大意的概括能力(如76题),还考查了其利用上下文语境线索进行逻辑推理的能力(如77题)以及准确把握篇章信息和概括归纳的能力(如79、80题),第78题让考生用英语解释划线句子,这种首次出现的题型对考生来说有一定难度,也更能考查考生的语言表达能力。阅读表达各小题都需要考生根据文章内容进行总结并作答,灵活的设题方式能够有效地考查考生的逻辑思维能力和语言运用能力,提高试题的效度和区分度。第77题的答案“金钱没有给他幸福”更是颇具教育意义。
6.写作试题贴近生活,平中见奇
以前的写作试题多是让考生主动给外国朋友或笔友写一封书信或电子邮件,而今年是让考生回复一封电子邮件,这更好地体现了语言的交际性和写作的必要性,能够有效测试考生的语言运用能力和写作水平。
写作话题真实,写作情境的创设贴近考生的生活, 现实性和实用性很强。让考生解释未能及时回复电子邮件的原因是准备期末考试,符合高中生的学习生活实际,没有生硬之感,自然合理。让考生谈谈暑假打算,这是他们熟悉的话题,考生能有感而发,有利于考查学生的英语书面表达能力。
“假期打算”对于所有考生来说都不陌生,因此,该题乍一看非常普通,所有考生都觉得话题熟悉,有话可说,都有自己发挥的空间。但是该题将“给朋友回信”作为试题的切入点,要求考生首先解释未及时回信的原因,然后谈谈自己的假期打算,这样考生就没有现成的模板可以套用,考生需要按照题目要求,自己组织语言,方能行文流畅,自圆其说。这也是试题设计的巧妙之处。
总之,2013年高考(山东卷)英语试题延续了往年的风格,选材合理、题型稳定、难度适中。试题在稳定中有些许细微的变化,在实现选拔目的的前提下,对中学英语教与学有着积极的导向作用。

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。

【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。

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。

【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
