09浙江高考英语试题评析及其对教学的启示

紧张的高考已经告一段落,高考对于高三学生来说是个结束,但是对于任课老师来说,却是个开始,如何研究新高考英语题型,从高考试题中发现出题者的意图,从而调整英语教学的重点,把握教学的方向,这是每位英语课任教师必须要做的事情。

纵观全卷，2009年浙江高考英语卷无论在命题设计、难易程度、题量、题型等方面与2008年的试卷相比，都体现了稳中有变、稳中求发展的命题原则。从全市的统计分数上看（全市平均分比去年低了4.5分），总体难度比去年稍难；从试卷上看，主要体现在完形填空部分。整份试卷在考查了各项英语基础知识的同时，更侧重考查考生对篇章的整体理解能力和语言的综合运用能力。具体体现在：

单项选择题——设题灵活，覆盖面广。

此部分由2008年的每小题1分改为今年的每小题0.5分，共20小题的总分也由原来的20分降为10分。从考点的分配来看，基本与《2009年浙江省普通高校考试说明》上的样卷相符。设题都比较常规，既无偏题怪题，也没有刻意追求语言结构和形式的繁杂，而是强调考查考生在语法、词汇、习惯用语等各方面的实际运用能力，旨在检测学生对英语基础知识的掌握情况。但也充分强调了在理解基础上的灵活运用，题目灵活，语境也较强，实实在在地体现了语言的交际功能。选择题共20小题,每小题0.5分.整体比较简单,没有出现if虚拟语气,独立主格这些难的语法点。从句部分仍是考试的重点,涉及到的语法基本上在高一4个模块中的重点项目,剩余的词汇及短语题,也是最基本的黑体词汇了。从单项选择的分值及试题难度可以看出,新课程英语降低了英语语法的功能,避免了出难偏怪等语法难题,这对我们平时的教学有些许启示,不要出难偏怪的语法题目来增强学生语法难学的负担,从而使学生失去学习英语的信心。

完形填空题——立足篇章理解，侧重词义辨析。

今年的完形填空题和去年相比，在难度上有明显加大。虽然今年此题的分值由原来的每小题1.5分降到了每小题1分，20小题的总分由原来的30分降到了20分，但由于今年的难度加大，仍然有可能在客观上造成考生在解此题时失分较多。本题原来规划取材200～250个词的短文，而实际短文数字达到322词，阅读量有所增加。主要的难点在于两个方面：一是20个小题中没有一处是和语法相关的，考生都必须通过词义辨析来完成。二是有些句子比较难理解。有些考生会因为没有完全理解句子含义，或上下文的意义，而直接导致失分。这篇完形填空讲的是一群年轻人对在城市里见到的一些现象的深刻反思,总体感觉完形填空如果是记叙文,那肯定会简单一些,但是今年的话题不属于记叙文,这种作者对于一种社会现象的自己的深刻的评论的文章,需要学生去领会作者对某个问题所持的态度,在此基础上再作出选择.从完形填空看,更强调了学生对于语篇的整体理解,所以教师在平时的教学中,教授一些解题技巧更是重中之重。根据该题型对补全后的短文“意思通顺、前后连贯、结构完整”的要求，解题方法应是通过略读和找读等快速阅读方法，充分利用选项提供词汇，着重从上下文及词汇意义上做出选择，而不是从语法的角度进行选择。

阅读理解题——篇幅较长，难度略增。

阅读理解题共有6篇文章，其中包括一篇任务型阅读，总分50分，是整份试卷中占分数比例最重的部分。今年的阅读和往年一样，取材较广，有科普类的、广告类的、故事类的、人物传记类。

今年的阅读题比去年稍难，主要体现在阅读的长度和词汇量的增加两个方面，正像我们在考前所预测的那样，在减少了卷面总分而考试时间保持不变的情况下，阅读的长度和词汇量都会有所增加。而且考纲中规定的在试卷中允许出现3%的生词，大多出现在阅读理解中。主要体现在两个方面：第一是阅读第一节整体阅读量有所增加；第二是阅读第二节在理解难度上有所提高。

先看阅读第一节部分。今年的文章体裁分布为：记叙文两篇，应用文一篇，说明文一篇，夹叙夹议一篇，整体分布偏重记叙文，所以在阅读量上有所增加，从而增加了考试难度。再看题型：逻辑题六道，细节题八道（含词汇题），主旨题三道，推理题三道。逻辑题在阅读题型里属于难度系数比较高的题，比较容易导致考生失分。

再看阅读第二节部分。今年的功能性阅读文章是比较出乎预料的，由于去年的真题和今年的考试说明上的功能性阅读文章非常容易，都属于送分题。因此很有可能很多考生对这个部分都没有放注意力，但是今年由于题型本身已经不再是简单的一一对应，而是要求考生在读懂选项内容的基础上，在通过逻辑判断对应问题，这对阅读量的速度和理解力提出了更高的要求，所以在第二节考生会比平时多花点精力。

综上所诉，09年高考英语阅读对考生的要求在阅读速度和理解力上都有比较高的要求。考生不仅要在有限的时间内阅读比较多的英文文章，同时也必须要有一定的思考力和理解力。

从今年的阅读部分，我们还能得到下面的启发：注重英语基础能力的培养，在高一和高二阶段要注重单词量的积累和科学的阅读习惯和方法，并进行有争对性的练习，培养既能准确把握文章的整体主旨，理清文章内部的逻辑关系，又能迅速寻找细节的能力，才能在高考的时候胸有成竹，随时应变。

改错题——过渡平稳，不难得分。

一篇105词的短文排成6行，共有10处错误。革除了原来10行9处错的模式(往年10行中有一行是正确的)。今年考题中的10处错误都是围绕学生在平时的书面表达中容易犯的常见错误，恰到好处地反映了学生的实际。今后在教学中培养学生在语言表达上的敏感度是非常重要的。

书面表达题——题材新，不易得高分。

今年的书面表达一改最近三年来的议论文形式，而改成了新闻报道。这个话题非常顺应崇尚感恩、敬老等的社会大环境，把英语写作落到了实处。本来对于这类话题，学生并不陌生，也有话可说，但是，要写好却不太容易。就这么点提示，要全靠考生自己去思考和

组织语言，要用上恰当的词汇和句型也并非易事，而且基础不太好的同学会觉得词数写不够，或没什么好词好句可写，所以要得高分并不容易。

从今年高考书面表达阅卷统计数据显示：满分30分，省平均分为14.8分，而且得分在24分以上的比例极小，29分的只有6份，满分的没有。仅这一显示说明：书面表达的挖掘空间还很大。书面表达客观地反映出一个学生真实的英语语言能力水平。书面表达不是孤立存在的，它来源于听说读写的整个教学环节；书面表达也不是一蹴而就的，不是考前一两个月的任务，它贯穿于高中三年的教学中。然而，目前较普通的现象是把写作教学只看成高考应考的一项措施，其结果是，高中英语写作能力在高

一、高二得不到充分培养，相反全压缩到高三阶段才受到师生的急切重视，可这时的训练往往是急于求成，头脚并医，“突击”提高，最后收效甚微，达不到中学教学大纲的要求。以上现象已反映出高中英语写作教学问题的“症结”：写作训练环节不够，语言基本功薄弱，训练方法单一，写作能力得不到及时培养，写作思维得不到正常开发。要改变目前普遍存在的书面表达教学“发育不足”的问题，既要适应高考，又要立足于今后的发展和需要，必须系统形成高中整体写作教学训练模式化。简单来说，写作的教学应该改变目前的放任式教育，分“词－词块－句子－意群－段落－篇章”6个层次来进行写作教学，即由让学生能够用恰当的词写出正确的句子开始，再逐渐过渡到由句子组织成意群，由意群组织出段落，最后才有能力写好一篇文章。

另外，在参加阅卷的过程中，笔者也与其他的阅卷教师进行过交流，总结出大家的几点共识： 1）对基础错误的“零容忍”：对于例如诸如are went，high two three in 5.01等等现象，认为这样的词汇出现分数就不可能高，哪怕整篇文章写得也还可以；；

2）考生应该绝对避免生搬硬套写作模板或写作套路； 3）卷面书写美观很重要，尤其是高中三年片刻都不能忽视对学生英语书写的训练。

自选模块-----------加大任务性阅读考查的深度和广度

自选模块为两个任务性阅读理解题，重在深层次理解和综合表达，以及英语基本知识在具体语境中的实际应用。

第一题（即05题）阅读理解任务有二：其一，选择所给选项补全所给短文中的空白处。做此题的关键是读懂原文，理清文章脉络，确立语境及上下文关系。只有如此，才能做出正确选择。其二，根据短文所给信息，用一个完整的句子回答问题——实际就是复述文中划线句子意义。根据原文，尤其是本句意义，作简短复述应该不难，难就难在必须语句通顺，且要达意。

自选模块的第二题（即06题）为阅读填空，事实上，本题为完形填空和语法填空的结合体。所填内容包括：一是根据上下文猜测文中必要词汇；二是根据上下文写出括号中所给动词的正确形式。

该短文为美文欣赏类短文，文字浅显易懂，故事逻辑性强，与学生生活有关，富有教育意义。本题中的两个任务，考生应该较容易完成。

对今后高中英语教学的启示：

新试题以篇章为主，情境化强，开放性大，进一步凸显了语言运用能力考查的特点，说明英语的学习和复习备考都应以语言能力发展为指向，而不是主要把英语当成知识体系来学习。一些新的测试题型，如语法填空、信息匹配、任务性写作、阅读表达、开放性写作等，初步显示了对语言能力考查的深度。完成这些任务，靠的是扎实的基础和充分的实践，而不是靠一味研究高考题型和应试技法。

要提高学生语言运用能力，就要认真贯彻《课程标准》。《标准》指出，高中英语课程的总目标是“培养学生的综合语言运用能力。综合语言运用能力的形成建立在语言技能、语言知识、情感态度、学习策略和文化意识等素养整合发展的基础上”。为了有效培养学生的综合语言运用能力，英语教学应该做到以下几点。

首先，树立正确的英语教学观念。《标准》主张，不能把英语语言单纯看作一个知识体系进行教和学，而应该强调让学生在语言活动中学习语言知识、发展语言能力。语言知识学习应该在各种思维训练活动、交际活动和社会实践活动中进行。如学习英语词汇最有效的办法是在句子、文章等语境中学习单词，注意扩大阅读量。关于语法知识，教学的重点是培养语法意识，而不是单纯记忆语法规则。教学中应注意引导学生通过观察、归纳、对比、总结等方法发现语法规则，并给学生提供运用这些语法规则的机会。

其次，应进一步加强对学生听、说、读、写等技能训练，有效发展语言运用能力。四省区的高考试题都依据《标准》对语言技能提出了更高的要求。听和读是输入，是理解技能；说和写是输出，是表达技能。大量教学和考试实践证明，学生语言能力发展状况与输入的量和质有很大关系。课堂内外应加大听和读的输入，以便学生增强语感、内化知识，有效地发展综合语言能力。当前中学生英语学习的普遍问题是输入相对不足，特别是教师在课堂上讲解语言知识的时间过多，学生失去了自主体验、自主发展的机会。同时，学生的课外学习时间用于做大量高考模拟练习，学生喜欢、水平适当的听读材料普遍缺乏，影响语言技能的发展。这些现状应该尽快改变。提高听、说、读、写训练的数量和效率既是落实《标准》的基本保证，也是应对高考的关键性策略。

再次，加强对学生学习策略的指导，关注学生情感态度和文化意识的培养。教师应多花时间和精力帮助学生掌握并运用学习方法，如单词学习根据读音规则记忆拼写，根据构词法和单词所在情境猜测单词的词类和词义，根据同义词、反义词进行对比记忆等。再如，要帮助学生掌握搜集和利用资源的策略等。现实生活是英语学习的最佳教材，要引导学生树立“英语在生活中无处不在”、“英语就在身边”的意识，在生活中自觉地发现英语、体验英语和运用英语。此外，《标准》要求教学中关注学生的情感态度和文化意识，而且高考试题也体现了对情感态度和文化意识的考查，是教学中应加以重视的。

具体到实际操作中，结合英语本身的特点，有以下两点需要强调：由于英语对于我们来说都是非母语，在生活中我们缺乏英语的语言环境，因此：

1）教师应该在课堂中创造全英语的语言环境，以此来培养学生英英思维的能力；

2）在高中阶段我们尤其要重视学生的语言输入；我们必须要保证学生接受英语语言的时间与数量；时间方面我们要保证学生有充足的读英语和听英语也即早、晚读的时间以及听力训练的时间；在数量方面我们需要学生要有一定数量的课外阅读。

因为只有通过听、读的大量输入之后学生才有说与写的输出能力，而输出能力体现在高考中最主要的就是写作的能力。

另外还有教材的问题：现行的新课标教材确实要求太高，高到编者们都认为现在的初中毕业生在进入高中之前都已经百分之百地掌握了初中阶段所有的英语知识；殊不知很多高一学生甚至连音标都还不会。这样一来，就给我们高中教师很大的挑战。因此我们必须要对教材进行二次创作，改编出适合自己学生的一套东西。尤其是对新教材中的听力部分我们要大胆地进行取舍，建议运用与PETS二级听力相配套的资料来组织听力训练。这就要求我们要充分认识到教材只是一种载体，要充分、合理地利用教材但不拘泥于教材来全面培养学生的听说读写译的能力。在高一新学期必须重视初、高中的知识以及学习习惯的衔接，高一高二年级要坚持听说读写并重，还应该让学生积累词汇，扩大阅读视野。

LIFE OF A FANCY WORLD

Biography

Early life and career

E.B.White graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1921.He picked up the nickname “Andy” at Cornell, where tradition confers that moniker on any male student surnamed White, after Cornell co-founder Andrew Dickson White.While at Cornell, he worked as editor of The Cornell Daily Sun with classmate Allison Danzig who later became a sportswriter for The New York Times.White was also a member of the Quill and Dagger society and Phi Gamma Delta(FIJI).He wrote for The Seattle Times and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and worked for an advertising agency before returning to New York City in 1924.He published his first article in The New Yorker magazine in 1925, then joined the staff in 1927 and continued to contribute for six decades.Best recognized for his essays and unsigned “Notes and Comment” pieces, he gradually became one of the most important contributors to The New Yorker at a time when it was arguably the most important American literary magazine.He also served as a columnist for Harper's Magazine from 1938 to 1943.He excelled as a writer of light verse, as can be sampled in his “The Fox of Peapack and Other Poems” in 1928.Children's books and Elements of Style

In the late 1930s, White turned his hand to children's fiction on behalf of a niece, Janice Hart White.His first child's book, Stuart Little, was published in 1945, and Charlotte's Web appeared in 1952.Stuart Little received a

lukewarm welcome from the literary community at first, due in part[citation needed] to the reluctance to endorse it by Anne Carroll Moore, the retired but still powerful children's librarian from the New York Public Library.However, both went on to receive high acclaim, and in 1970 jointly won the Laura Ingalls Wilder Medal.That same year, he published his third children's novel, The Trumpet of the Swan, which in 1973 received the Sequoyah Award[citation needed] from Oklahoma and the William Allen White Award[citation needed] from Kansas, both of which were awarded by students voting for their favorite book of the year.In 1959, White edited and updated The Elements of Style.This handbook of grammar and language style for writers of American English had been written

and published in 1918 by William Strunk, Jr., one of White's professors at Cornell.White's rework of the book was extremely well received, and further editions of the work followed in 1972, 1979, and 1999;an illustrated edition followed in 2005.That same year, a New York composer named Nico Muhly premiered a short opera based on the book.The volume is a standard tool for students and writers and remains required reading in many composition classes.White died on October 1, 1985, at his farm home in North Brooklin, Maine.He was buried beside his wife at the Brooklin Cemetery.[2]

Awards

In 1978, White won an honorary Pulitzer Prize for his work as a whole.Other awards he received included a Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1963 and memberships in a variety of literary societies throughout the United States.《夏洛的网》，一首关于生命，友情，爱与忠诚的赞歌！一部傲居“美国最伟大的十部儿童文学名著”首位的童话！

在美国大作家E.B.怀特的笔下，蜘蛛夏洛用蜘蛛丝编织了一张爱的大网，这网挽救了小猪威尔伯的生命，也让我心中多了许多感动。

小猪威尔伯原来可是一只不起眼的落脚猪，还差点惨死于阿拉布尔先生的斧子下。逃过一劫的威尔伯后来和蜘蛛夏洛建立起了真挚的感情，可是好景不长，威尔伯未来的命运却是成为熏肉火腿，作为一只猪，威尔伯只能悲痛绝望地接受这命运了。但作为好朋友的夏洛却坚信它能救小猪，它吐出一根根丝在猪栏上织出了被人类视为奇迹的网上文字，这让威尔伯在集市上赢得了特别奖，和一个幸福的未来，小猪终于得救了。

这种友谊是单纯的，是真挚的，也是幸福的。小猪威尔伯因为有和夏洛的这段友谊，是他免于成为熏肉火腿，在夏洛死后，小猪威尔伯细心地照料，使得夏洛的后代得以延续。

这段友谊是纯洁的，也是无私的。为了一句诺言，夏洛为威尔伯无私的奉献，她把毕生的精力都给予了威尔伯，到死的那一刻，她也无怨无悔、不求回报。在现实生活中，已经很难找到如此的真诚，尔虞我诈充斥着我们的生活。蜘蛛夏洛教会我们坚持的美、坚守的一生。

在生活中，友谊是多么的珍贵。在我困难的时候，多亏朋友的帮助让我度过难关。当我有什么东西忘带时，他们总会义不容辞地借给我,而我和朋友之间总是会多一份宽容，少一分争执。友谊让我们获得了快乐，所以我们应当好好珍惜友谊。最后，夏洛的生命却走到了尽头。在冬天的一缕暖风中，威尔伯送走了夏洛的子女。

生命是严肃的，是毫不留情的，死亡也是如此。夏洛的死绝不是一场悲剧，她的生命走到了尽头，但她的一生是圆满、善良、朴实的。伴随在那声“再见”和那已经飘零的蛛网，她永远活在威尔伯的心中，也活在了我的心中。Plot

One spring, on a farm in Maine, Fern Arable(Dakota Fanning)learns that her father plans to kill the runt of a litter of newborn pigs.She successfully begs him to spare its life.He gives it to her, who names him Wilbur and raises him as her pet.To her regret, when he grows into an adult pig, she is forced to take him to the Zuckerman farm, where he is to be prepared as dinner in due time.Charlotte(Julia Roberts), a spider, lives in the space above Wilbur's sty in the Zuckermans' barn;she befriends him and decides to help prevent him from being eaten.With the help of the other barn animals, including a rat named Templeton(Steve Buscemi), she convinces the Zuckerman family that Wilbur is actually quite special, by spelling out descriptions of him in her web: “Some pig”, “Terrific”, “Radiant” and “Humble”.She gives her full name as “Charlotte A.Cavatica”, revealing her as a barn spider, an orb-weaver spider with the scientific name Araneus cavaticus.The Arables, Zuckermans, Wilbur, Charlotte, and Templeton go to a fair, where Wilbur is entered in a contest.While there, Charlotte produces an egg sac.She cannot return home because she is dying.Wilbur tearfully says goodbye to her but manages to take her egg sac home, where hundreds of offspring emerge.Most of the young spiders soon leave, but three, named Joy, Aranea, and Nellie, stay and become Wilbur's friends.Friendship

I often wonder what friendship is.Friendship is too big a topic to talk about either specifically or generally.I guess most of us are still in a puzzling state about what friendship is, and I myself should be included.Maybe people who define friendship according to his own life experience will say that they have a good concept of friendship, which I think is too narrow to get an objective definition of it.But how hard it would be to talk about friendship without mixing personal feeling in it, especially when it comes to the matter offriend.So here I would like to share my views with you about friendship, about my closest friend.I have had friends since I was born, some of whom have come along with me through my life, and it is impossible to always keep your friends around you since departure is one part of life that everybody must experience.Though some of you may oppose me by exaggerating the connotation of the concept of being together that is friends may not stay together physically but they can stay together always psychologically, I still hold that departure is an absolute thing.How could it be possible that your friend(even your closest friend)always keeps you in heart as he/she had, is having a

nd will have different experiences from yours? Somehow different experiences make up of different hearts.Man’s heart is a quite strange thing.Never think that one can wholly touch it.Sometimes our heart is so abstract that you don’t even know how to get to them.If we take heart as a cube, and closest friend a gentle breeze, this breeze can only blow one facet of this cube from one direction and can rarely reach any other sides of your heart.I’m not sure whether I have put it very clearly but believe me that there are no fixed closest friend in your life.With different time, place, space, emotion and situation, you have different closest friends.When I play basketball, I have a closest friend who knows how to cooperate with me and together give our opponents a deadly attack;when I am alone and feel so lonely, I have a friend who can always comfort me by saying that he is my friend;when I am in need of money, the one who comes all the way and lend his money to me without any hesitation is my closest friend;when I am proud and a friend dares to stand out to warn me that I should keep modest, he is my closest friend;and, when I read Old Man and the Sea, I think Hemingway is my best friend.You see then, how many closest friends I have.But I must say, though I always want to keep all of them in my heart, they are not actually always in my heart.They have their own friends and their own life.Winston Churchill once said that there’s no perpetual friend, nor perpetual enemy, only perpetual interest.I guess he’s right in some way.Personally I think it is a shame for people who take a pet as his closest friend as this is a sheer insult to human being and an absolute indignity for the word.If a dog is his closest friend, what is human to him? You can imagine how would a person with his closest friend do to PEOPLE.And maybe sometimes a dog can give him mental comfort, but what a dog likes best is just a bone.Friendship is indeed an inborn desire of mankind, and it is relationship between people, not between people and animals.If you seek friendship, please seek it from people, from people around you.Actually I have much more to say but… your criticism welcome.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte%27s_Web

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

O.Henry was a pen name used by an American writer of short stories.His real name was William Sydney Porter.He was born in North Carolina in 1862.As a young boy he lived an exciting life.He did not go to school for very long, but he managed to teach himself everything he needed to know.When he was about 20 years old, O.Henry went to Texas, where he tried different jobs.He first worked on a newspaper, and then had a job in a bank.When some money went missing from the bank, O.Henry was believed to have stolen it.Because of that, he was sent to prison.During the three years in prison, he learned to write short stories.After he got out of prison, he went to New York and continued writing.He wrote mostly about New York and the life of the poor there.People liked his stories, because simple as the tales were, they would finish with a sudden change at the end, to the readers'surprise.66.In which order did O.Henry do the following things? a.Lived in New York b.Worked in a bank c.Travelled to Texas d.Was put in prison e.Had a newspaper job f.Learned to write stories A.e, c, f, b, d, a B.c, e, b, d, f, a C.e, b, d, c, a, f D.c, b, e, d, a, f 67.People enjoyed reading O.Henry's stories because A.they had surprise endings.B.they were easy to understand.C.they showed his love for the poor.D.they were about New York City.68.O.Henry went to prison because A.people thought he had stolen money from the newspaper.B.he broke the law by not using his own name.C.he wanted to write stories about prisoners.D.people thought he had taken money that was not his.69.What do we know about O.Henry before he began writing?

Moscow,Russia(space news)-“The computer is a better chess player,” insisted Viktor Prozorov, the loser.“It seemed as if it were laughing after every good move.I know I should have beaten it for the sake of mankind(为人类着想), but I just couldn't win,” he announced and shook his head sadly.Prozorov's disappointment was shared by several grand masters who were present, some of whom were so upset that they shouted at the machine.Many chess players said that this meant the end of chess championships(锦标赛)around the world, since the fun had been taken out of the game.The computer walked-or rather, rolled-away with 5,000 dollars in prize money and limited its remarks to a set of noises and lights.76.Which of the following best gives the main idea of this newspaper article?

One day a few years ago a very funny thing happened to a neighbour of mine.He is a teacher at one of London's big medical schools.He had finished his teaching for the summer term and was at the airport on his way to Russia to give a lecture.He had put a few clothes and his lecture notes in his shoulder bag, but he had put Rupert, the skeleton(人体骨架)to be used in his lecture, in a large brown suitcase(箱子).At the airport desk, he suddenly thought that he had forgotten to buy a newspaper.He left his suitcase near the desk and went over to the shop.When he got back he discovered that someone had taken his suitcase by mistake.He often wonders what they said when they got home and found Rupert.81.Who wrote the story?
