One evening in early April, my mother told me to fill in at the snack bar 36 a worker who had the flu. I told her I would mess it up, 37 I had never worked at the bar before. I 38 that instead of making money, I would end up owing it. ―You can do it,‖ said my mother, ― 39 , you won‘t get much business until lunch.‖ ―But I‘ll never remember the orders, and I‘m no good 40 money. Please, Mom, don‘t 41 me. ―Then I‘ll help you,‖ she said. I shrugged my shoulders. I thought my mother‘s 42 was a bad one, but I 43 . When I got to the bar the next day, I found my mother was 44 . Because the weather that 2 第 页 共 64 页 day was rainy and cold, people wanted hot snacks and drinks. 45 , I was really slow at taking the orders and making change. The line of people grew, and everybody seemed 46 , I was so nervous that my hands shook, and I 47 a cup into pieces. What a mess! Then my mother came to 48 me, and she also showed me how to make 49 . If someone gave me $ 5 for something that cost $ 3.25, I handed over 50 quarters and a dollar and said, ―75 cents makes four dollars, plus one dollar makes five.‖ Things went more 51 after that. By the end of the day, I could remember orders, 52 the bill, and make change quickly with a smile. I was even a little 53 when the sun came out and dried up business. My mother said she was proud of me, and when she 54 that I work at the snack bar again next year, I did not even shrug. I was too busy 55 the restaurant I would open one day. 36.

The one-kilogram Win-Cub satellite, named for its home city and its shape, will be put into low orbit. Once in space, it can perform for a few months or up to several years, communicating information that could help find the signs of earthquakes. There are 80 similar satellite projects worldwide, but this is the first high-school based program of its kind in Canada. 30 Manitoba high school students are having a hand in designing and building the satellite, in cooperation with aerospace (航空航天的) experts and 10 students 4 第 页 共 64 页 from the University of Manitoba, and with support from two other organizations. The Win-Cube project is not something that goes on a piece of paper; it is real-world engineering, allowing high school students to have an opportunity to learn more about the exciting world of engineering through their participation in this challenging program. It is also taken as a wonderful example of the unique partnerships within Manitoba. Designing, building and launching a satellite with high-school participation will bring this world-class educational project into reality and Manitoba closer to space. ―These Manitoba high school students deserve congratulations for their enthusiasm, innovation (创新), and a strong love for discovery,‖ said Education, Citizenship and Youth Minister Peter Bjomson. ―We want to make science more relevant (相关的), interesting and attractive to high school students by showing them how classroom studies can relate to practical experience in the workplace or, in this case, in space,‖ Bjomson added. The Win-Cube program is mainly named at inspiring a strong desire for discovery on the part of the students. It also shows Manitoba‘s devotion to research and innovation and the development of a skilled workforce—all important drivers of knowledge-based economic growth. 56. According to the passage, the Win-Cube satellite is _________. A. named after Manitoba and its shape B. intended for international communication C. designed like a Rubik‘s cube both in shape and size D. challenged by university students around the world 注:根据第一段及图可知。 57. According to Mr. Bjomson, ___________. A. those Manitoba high school students are worth praising B. the study of space can be practically made in classrooms C. Manitoba high schools are famous for the study of space D. scientific research is too far away from high school students 注:倒数第二段第一行:―These Manitoba high school students deserve congratulations for their enthusiasm。。。这些中学生值得祝贺。。。 58. The primary purpose of the project is to _________. A. find the early signs of earthquakes B. relate studies to practical C. help high school students study real-world engineering D. inspire a strong desire for discovery among the students 注:倒数第一段第一行 59. The best title for this passage may be ________. A. Manitoba School B. Win-Cube Program C. Space Co-operation D. Satellite Launching 注:本文主要讲第一次吸收中学生参与航天 计划 项目进度计划表范例计划下载计划下载计划下载课程教学计划下载 行动Win-Cube Program。D行只是该计划的 一个环节。 B Welcome to my Message Board! Subject: Slimming down classics? Orion Books, which decides there is a market in creating cut-down classics (经典著作), is slimming down some novels by such great writers as L. Tolstoy, M. Mitchell and C. Bronte. Mr. 5 第 页 共 64 页 Now, each of them has been whittled down to about 400 pages by cutting 30 to 40 pages per Handsome 2007-5-12 cent of original, with words, sentences, paragraphs and, in a few cases, chapters removed. The 6: 34 AM first six shortened editions, all priced at ,6.99 and advertised as great reads ―in half the time‖, will go on sale next month, with plans for 50 to 100 more to follow. The publishing house believes that modern readers will welcome the shorter versions. Well, I‘m publisher of Orion Group. Thanks for your attention, Mr. Handsome. I must say, the idea developed from a game of ―shame‖ in my office. Each of us was required to confess (承认) to the most embarrassing blanks in his or her reading. I admitted that I had never read Anna Karenina and tried but failed to get through Gone with the Wind Mr. several times. One of my colleagues acknowledged skipping (跳读) Jane Eyre. We realized Edwards 2007-5-12 that life is too short to read all the books you want to and we never were going to read these 9: 40 AM ones. As a leading publishing house, we are trying to make classics convenient for readers but it‘s not as if we‘re withdrawing the original versions. They are still there if you want to read them. I‘m director of the online bookclub www.lovereading.co.uk Ms. Weir 2007-5-12 Mr. Edwards, I think your shortened editions is a breath of fresh air. I‘m guilty of never 11:35 AM having read Anna Karenina, because it‘s just so long. I‘d much rather read two 300-page books than one 600-page book. I am looking forward to more shortened classics! I‘m from the London independent bookshop Corckatt & Powell. Mr. In my opinion, the practice is completely ridiculous. How can you edit the classics? I‘m Crockatt 2007-5-12 afraid reading some of these book is hard work, and that is why you have to develop as a 4:38 PM reader. If people don‘t have time to read Anna Karenina, then fine. But don‘t read a shortened version and kid yourself it‘s the real thing. 60. According to the message board, Orion Books ___________. A. opposes the reading of original classics B. is embarrassed for cutting down classics C. thinks cut-down classics have a bright future D. is cautions in its decision to cut down classics 注:第一个表格最后The publishing house believes that modern readers will welcome the shorter versions.既然受读者欢迎，就说明前景美好。 61. In Mr. Edwards‘ opinion, Orion Group is shortening classics to _________. A. make them easier to read B. meet a large demand in the market C. increase the sales of literary books D. compete with their original versions 注:第二表格，第一段最后一句We realized that life is too short to read all the books you want to and….人生太短，要读完这些原著太难了。所以。。。 62. By describing the shortened classics as ―a breath of fresh air‖, Ms. Weir ________. A. speaks highly of the cut-down classics B. shows her love for original classics C. feels guilty of not reading the classics D. disapprove of shortening the classics 注:根据第三表格的文字内容，尤其是该段最后一句。 63. Mr. Crockatt seems to imply that _________. A. reading the classic works is a confusing attempt B. shortening the classics does harm to the original 6 第 页 共 64 页 C. publishing the cut-down classics is a difficult job D. editing the classic works satisfies children‘s needs C Photos that you might have found down the back of your sofa are now big business! In 2005, the American artist Richard Prince‘s photograph of a photograph, Untitled (Cowboy), was sold for $ 1, 248, 000. Prince is certainly not the only contemporary artist to have worked with so-called ―found photographs‖—a loose term given to everything from discarded(丢弃的) prints discovered in a junk shop to old advertisements or amateur photographs from a stranger‘s family album. The German artist Joachim Schmid, who believes ―basically everything is worth looking at‖, has gathered discarded photographs, postcards and newspaper images since 1982. In his on-going project, Archiv, he groups photographs of family life according to themes: people with dogs; teams; new cars; dinner with the family; and so on. Like Schmid, the editors of several self-published art magazines also champion (捍卫) found photographs. One of them, called simply Found, was born one snowy night in Chicago, when Davy Rothbard returned to his car to find under his wiper(雨刷) an angry note intended for someone else: ―Why‘s your car HERE at HER place?‖ The note became the starting point for Rothbard‘s addictive publication, which features found photographs sent in by readers, such a poster discovered in our drawer. The whole found-photograph phenomenon has raised some questions. Perhaps one of the most difficult is: can these images really be considered as art? And if so, whose art? Yet found photographs produced by artists, such Richard Prince, may riding his horse hurriedly to meet someone? Or how did Prince create this photograph? It‘s anyone‘s guess. In addition, as we imagine the back-story to the people in the found photographs artists, like Schmid, have collated (整理), we also turn toward our own photographic albums. Why is memory so important to us? Why do we all seek to freeze in time the faces of our children, our parents, our lovers, and ourselves? Will they mean anything to anyone after we‘ve gone? In the absence of established facts, the vast collections of found photographs give our minds an opportunity to wander freely. That, above all, is why they are so fascinating. 64. The first paragraph of the passage is used to _________. A. remind readers of found photographs B. advise reader to start a new kind of business C. ask readers to find photographs behind sofa D. show readers the value of found photographs 注:从下面的一段就可以知道。 65. According to the passage, Joachim Schmid _________. A. is fond of collecting family life photographs B. found a complaining not under his car wiper C. is working for several self-published magazines D. wondered at the artistic nature of found photographs 注:第三段倒数第一句:he groups photographs of family life according to themes: people with dogs; teams; new cars; dinner with the family; and so on. 66. The underlined word ―them‖ in Para 4 refers to __________. A. the readers B. the editors 7 第 页 共 64 页 C. the found photographs D. the self-published magazines 注:根据其后的说明called simply Found及find under his wiper(雨刷) an angry note。 67. By asking a series of questions in Para 5, the author mainly intends to indicate that ________. A. memory of the past is very important to people B. found photographs allow people to think freely C. the back-story of found photographs is puzzling D. the real value of found photographs is questionable 注:最后一段作出结论。the vast collections of found photographs give our minds an opportunity to wander freely. 68. The author‘s attitude towards found photographs can be described as _________. A. critical B. doubtful C. optimistic D. satisfied 注:最后一段 D One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a ―sea of technology‖ rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear-producing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will changes the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child‘s play. Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. ―If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment (蚕食)?‖ asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods. Without having a nature experience, kids, can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive (认知的) skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents—and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters (培养) leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more. Kids are not to blame. They are over-protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite(仪式)of passage. Everyone, from developers, to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that cement (增强) love, respect and need for landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause. 69. The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that __________. A. kids missing the sense of wonder outdoors B. parks are in danger of being gradually encroached C. Richard Louv is the author of Last Child in the Woods D. children are expected to develop into protectors of nature 8 第 页 共 64 页 注:从该段，尤其是从At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. 70. According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will _________. A. keep a high sense of wonder B. be over-protected by their parents C. be less healthy both physically and mentally 注:第三段第二句:That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive (认知的) skills. D. change wild places and creatures for the better 71. According to the author, children‘s breaking an arm is ___________. A. the fault on the part of their parents B. the natural experience in their growing up C. the result of their own carelessness in play D. the effect of their repetitive stress from computers 注:第四段:repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite(仪 式)of passage.这句话的意思是说，小孩子应该是在户外玩耍(经常摔倒)，而现在却都呆在 家里上电脑(接受频频而来的思想压力)。 72. In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to ________. A. blame children for getting lost in computer games B. encourage children to protect parks from encroachment C. show his concern about children‘s lack of experience in nature D. inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around 注:从一段可以看出。 第二节 简答题(共3小题， 满分6分) 阅读下面短文，根据第73至第75小题的具体要求，简要回答问题。 The north magnetic pole (磁极) is no longer a resident of Canada. It has drifted across the Canadian Arctic and is now angling toward Siberia. Not to be confused with the geographic North Pole—the northern extremity of the Earth‘s axis (地轴)，the north magnetic pole (where the Earth‘s magnetic field is directed downward) is moving due to natural changes in the Earth‘s magnetic field, a process that originates about 3, 000 kilometers below our feet, in the outer core(核心)of the planet. But scientists are now noticing that the magnetic pole has picked up its pace. Over the past century, the pole has been migrating at an average speed of about 10 kilometers per year, says Larry Newitt, head of Geomagnetic Laboratory at Natural Resources Canada in Ottawa. Since the 1970s, this speed has increased to about 50 kilometers per year. Scientists are wondering why the speed is increasing, says Newitt. One Hypothesis (假说) relates it to ―magnetic jerks‖, sudden shifts (变化) in the rate of change of the magnetic field. There have been three jerks in the past four decades, each one correlating to an increase in speed. If the north magnetic pole continues at its current rate, it could reach Siberia by 2056. ―For most of recorded history, the pole has been a part of Canada, and now it‘s not,‖ says Newitt. ―It may be a blow to our collective psyche, but other than that, it doesn‘t have a major effect on most people‘s existence. 73. Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word ―angling‖. 注:从上下文明显可以看出该词的意思是“移动，运行”，所以在第二段的第一句is directed downward) is moving 及第二段的第一句has been migrating at an average speed of about 10 9 第 页 共 64 页 kilometers per year, 74. What could happen to the north magnetic pole by the middle of the 21 century? (回答词数不 超过8个) 注:倒数第二段: If the north magnetic pole continues at its current rate, it could reach Siberia by 2056. 75. What is the main idea of the passage? (回答词数不超过8个) 本问主要讲北磁极的快速移动，而且这种移动速度加快了。the magnetic pole has picked up its pace.(第二段最后)，所以，回答用:The north magnetic pole is moving faster. 第四部分 书面表达(共两节，满分35分) 第一节 填空(共10小题，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在文后第76至第85小题的空格里填上适当的单词或短 语。注意:每空不超过3 个单词。 Host family accommodation, or living with host families, remains popular among language travel students for its advantages. These days, host families are trying to offer more in terms of quality, for they still have something to worry about. Host family accommodation is often seen as the number-one choice for its advantages in language study, cultural communication and cost of living. Staying alongside host families enables students to get enough practice for the short time of their studying so that their language acquisition is likely to become faster. Living in host families also has the advantage for students of being able to spend a lot of time communicating with their ―host parents‖, and get to know the local way of life, people and culture. Another advantage is that host family accommodation can sometimes be the least expensive. It attracts students for it ensures them a family type of living at a low cost. The advantages, however, have not prevented host families form worrying. On one hand, some host families are losing their unique selling point. The problem is that the majority of hosts in big cites, now generally single and young, have less times available for students but the selling point for host family accommodation is communication practice. One the other hand, students‘ expectations have risen. They are becoming more demanding and asking for more than ever from their accommodation, as they come mainly from high socio-economic groups in their own countries. To get out of the difficult situation, host families are now making efforts to improve the quality of service. They are trying to making living conditions better, including broadband Internet service, private bathroom, and access to plenty of hot water for long showers. They are also providing students with structured family activities. It is believed that host family accommodation will keep the popularity vote with language travel students.

The price of ____ petrol is going up again～ A. the, the B. 不填，the C. the, 不填 D. 不填，不填 答案: C 【解析】本题考查冠词 第一空考查news前的冠词选择，根据题干含义，这里的news是特指，所以要用定冠 词the;第二空考查petrol前的冠词选择，根据含义，汽油不可能是特指，是汽油普遍 上涨，所以不用冠词。 23.

A. Having searched B. To search C. Searching D. Search 12 第 页 共 64 页 答案: D 【解析】考查非谓语动词与并列句的区别与选择 根据and这个特色词可知这是一个很典型的并列句，所以形成并列句的两个简单句的谓语动词必须是独立的，不能用非谓语动词，然后根据题意，前半句需要用到一个祈使句，“祈使句+and+句子(将来时)”表示“当你„„，你会„„”，题干含义是:当你浏览你们城市消防部门的网站时，你会学到很多关于消防的知识。 25.

A. being blown down B. blown down C. blowing down D to blow down 答案: B 【解析】考查非谓语动词 blow down与tree构成动宾关系，所以排除C(主谓关系)，然后根据题干含义(句子用的是完成时态)，得知风吹倒树的动作是过去的，所以排除A(现在正在发生)、D(将来发生)。 27. ---When did you last hear _____ Jay? ---He phoned me this morning, and we agreed____ a time and place to meet.

I called Hannah many times yesterday evening，but I couldn't get through. Her brother on the phone all the time! A. was talking B. has been talking C. has talked D. talked 答案: A 【解析】考查时态 这是一个选用过去进行时的固定语境。过去进行时表示过去正在发生的动作。现在完成 时和一般过去时不符合这个固定语境。而现在完成进行时必须是动作持续到现在，而显 然是不符合题意的。 33. ______the Internet is of great help, I don’t think it’s a good idea to spend too much time on it.

And making that dream come true often means finding a building no one else seems to want, which is exactly what happened to David Yocum and his partner, Brian Bell. Their building is a former automobile electrical-parts firm in Atlanta. From the outside, it looks too old, even something horrible, but open the door and you are in a wide, open courtyard, lined on three sides with rusting (生锈的) walls. In 2000, Yocum and Bell found this building in the city‘s West End. Built in 1947, the structure had been abandoned years earlier and the roof of the main building had fallen down. But the price was right, so Yocum bought it. He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition (拆 除), pulling rubbish out through the roof, because it was too dangerous to go inside the building. The demolition was hard work, but it gave him time to think about what he wanted to do, and ―to treasure what was there – the walls, the rust, the light,‖ Yocum said. ―Every season, more paint falls off the walls and more rust develops. It‘s like an art installation (装置) in there – a slow-motion show.‖ Since the back building had been constructed without windows, an all-glass front was added to the building to give it a view of the courtyard, and skylights were installed in the roof. The back of the building is a working area and a living room for Yocum and his wife. A sort of buffer (缓冲) zone between the front and the back contains a bathroom, a kitchen and a mechanical room, and the walls that separate these zones have openings that allow views through to the front of the studio and the courtyard beyond. Yocum and Bell, who have just completed an art gallery for the city, feel that the experience from the decoration of their building, focusing on the inside rather than the outside, has influenced their work. It has also given these architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less. 60. According to the passage, it is for most young architects in big cities to work in a building of their own. A. easy B. unnecessary C. unrealistic D. common 18 第 页 共 64 页 61(Yocum bought the old building because _________. A. it was a bargain to him B. it was still in good condition C. it was located in the city center D. it looked attractive from the outside 62. Working on the old building, Yocum and Bell,. A. pulled rubbish out through the roof B. removed the skylights from the bathroom C. presented a slow–motion show in an art gallery D. built a kitchen at the back part of the old building 63. It can be inferred from the passage that Yocum and Bell __. A. benefited a lot from pulling down the roof B. turned more old buildings into art galleries C. got inspiration from decorating their old building D. paid more attention to the outside of the gallery 64. The main idea of the passage is that __. A. people can learn a lot from their failures B. it is worthwhile to spend money on an old building C. people should not judge things by their appearance D. creative people can make the best of what they have 答案: 60-64 CAACD 【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述的两位年轻建筑师在离城市中心较远的地方找到了一 家工厂，并把它设计为自己的工作室，运用自己所学的知识，给工作室装修了一番。 60. 根据首句“Most young architects ----particularly those in big cities ----can only dream about working in a building of their own.”得知年轻的建筑师有自己的工作室只是梦想，不现 实(unrealistic)。 61. 根据第二段的“But the price was right, so Yocum bought it.”得知，是因为那个价格 便宜(bargain)。 62. 根据第二段的“He spent eight months of his off-hours on demolition, pulling rubbish out through the roof”(把垃圾清出屋顶)得知:A正确;而由第三段的第一句判断出B错， 由第二段的倒数第一二句判断出C错，由第三段的倒数第一句判断出D错。 63. 根据第四段的“Yocum and Bell, who have just completed an art gallery for the city, feel that the experience from the decoration of their building, focusing on the inside rather than the outside, has influenced their work.”(从装饰他们的房子获得的经验影响了他们的工作)得 知: C正确、B错误;而由第二段的第三句判断A错，而B选项文章没有提及，也不可推 断出。 64. 根据第四段的“It has also given these architects a chance to show how they can make more out of less.”得知:本文的主旨在于建造自己的工作室给这些年轻建筑师一个机会去展 示他们怎样把少变得多，即有创造性的人可以很好的利用和享受他们所拥有的，故选D。而 ABC是显然不符合文意的。 记叙文是高考的必考点，也是阅读文章中比较容易的一篇文章，本文难度不大。 C You're sitting on the train home and the person opposite you yawns(打哈欠). Suddenly, you're yawning with him, thought you're not tired. 19 第 页 共 64 页 This phenomenon confused scientists for years until a recent study found that people tend to sympathize with fellow humans. Supporting this claim was discovery that those children who were unable to from normal emotional ties with others did not experience contagions(有感染力的) yawning, which showed that humans communicate regularly without words. Hogo Critchley, a neuroscientist, has conducted an experiment recently, which will prove that happiness and sadness can spread like the common cold. According to Critchley, our mind and body are in constant exchange about how we're feeling. ―Emotions are closed linked with states of internal(内部的)responses, ‖he explained. ―There are also more visible changes in our gesture and facial expressions. When we're in a group, these signals an spread to another person. For example, there're the obvious tendency to smile when smiled at and there are less obvious changes that reflect emotions of surprise, anger or sadness such as a change in our heart rate and blood pressure. ‖ Hugo Critchley further explained, ―Our bodies synchronise and when we like the other Person, we even copy his behivour. Next time you chat with a friend, take note of how you‘re sitting-it's pretty likely that you will be the same. Scientists believe it‘s our way of telling each other that you‘re parents. Through body language, humans give each other very subtle (微妙的) but clear signals that show emotions. ‖ So, what lessons can we learn from this? ―spend time with happy people—otherwise your health could suffer, ‖ said Critchley. ―When we‘re sad, our body goes into fight or flight mode. But when we‘re happy, our body works normally and we feel relaxed and positive. So we look bright, our skin glows, we feel healthy and it affects everyone around us. ‖ 65. According to Hugo Critchley, _________. A. emotions are as visible as facial expressions B. we yawn more frequently when we have a cold C. emotions are connected with states of internal responses D. the change of blood pressure is not linked with the change of emotions 66. The underlined word ―synchronise‖ in paragraph 4 means ―_________‖. A. move slowly B. change rapidly C. relax temporarily D. respond accordingly 67. From the passage we can learn ______. A. sadness is as contagious as happiness B. anger is less contagious than friendliness C. surprise is more contagious than smile D. surprise is the most contagious among emotions 68. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Emotions have delicate influence on fellow humans. B. Children like copying the actions of the fellow humans. C(Scientists are still confused about contagious yawning D(People tend to communicate more with body language. 答案: 65-68 CDBA 【解析】本文是一篇说明文(科技文)，说明的是:快乐的情绪可以影响周围的人。 65. 根据第三段的“Emotions are closed linked with states of internal responses,”得知C 正确。 66. 根据第四段的“Our bodies synchronise and when we like the other Person, we even 20 第 页 共 64 页 copy his behavior. Next time you chat with a friend, take note of how you‘re sitting-it's pretty likely that you will be the same.”得知选D。 67. 根据第二段的最后一句得知微笑的传染力要比惊讶和生气的传染力明显，所以B正 确，ACD错。 68. 根据第二段的第一句得知人们的情绪受同类人的影响，所以A 正确，C错误。而 BD显然是错的。 说明文(科技文)是高考的热点，是词汇量比较大的阅读项目。 D Celebrity(名人)has become one of the most important representatives of popular culture. Fans used to be crazy about a specific film, but now the public tends to base its consumption(消 费)on the interest of celebrity attached to any given product. Besides, fashion magazines have almost abandoned the practice of putting models on the cover because they don‘t sell nearly as well as famous faces. As a result, celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful marker potential, moving from advertising for others‘ products to developing their own Celebrity clothing lines aren‘t a completely new phenomenon, but in the past they were typically aimed at the ordinary consumers, and limited to a few TV actresses. Today they‘re started by first-class stars whose products enjoy equal fame with some world top brands. The most successful start-ups have been those by celebrities with specific personal style. As celebrities become more and more experienced at the market, they expand their production scale rapidly, covering almost all the products of daily life. However, for every success story, there‘s a related warning tale of a celebrity who overvalued his consumer appeal. No matter how famous the product‘s origin is, if it fails to impress consumers with its own qualities it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing. And once the initial(最初的)attention dies down, consumer interest might fade, loyalty(忠城) returning to tried-and-true labels. Today, celebrities face even more severe embarrassment. The pop-cultural circle might be bigger than ever, but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. Each misstep threatens to reduce a celebrity‘s shelf life, and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears. Still, the ego‘s(自我的)potential for expansion is limitless. Having already achieved great wealth and public recognition, many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to be conquered. As the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might last only a short time, but fashion,like celebrity,has always been temporary. 69. Fashion magazines today . A. seldom put models on the cover B. no longer put models on the cover C. need not worry about celebrities‘ market potential D. judge the market potential of every celebrity correctly 70. A change in the consumer market can be found today that . A. price rather than brand name is more concerned B. producers prefer models to celebrities for advertisements C. producers prefer TV actresses to film stars for advertisements D. quality rather than the outside of products is more concerned 71. The underlined sentence in paragraph 4 indicates that any wrong step will 21 第 页 共 64 页 possibly . A. decrease the popularity of a celebrity and the sales of his products B. damage the image of a celebrity in the eyes of the general public C. cut short the artistic career of a celebrity in show business D. influence the price of a celebrity‘s products 72. The passage is mainly about . A. celebrity and personal style B. celebrity and markets potential C. celebrity and fashion design D. celebrity and clothing industry 答案: 69-72 ADAB 【解析】本文是一篇议论文，论述的是:名人效应在市场上的作用。 69. 根据第一段的“Besides, fashion magazines have almost abandoned the practice of putting models on the cover because they don‘t sell nearly as well as famous faces.”得知A正确。 70. 根据文章第三段，可以得出:在当今消费市场产品的质量比它外部的东西更被消费 者关注，故选D。 71. 这句话的意思是每一个错误都会导致名人的“保质期”减短，即减弱名人的受欢迎 程度，故选A。 72. 根据全文大意，可以得出本文讲述的是名人与市场潜力。故选B。 议论文是高考的难点，是句式比较复杂的阅读项目。 第二节 简答题(共3小题, 每小题2分, 满分6分) 阅读下面短文, 根据第73至第75小题的具体要求, 简要回答问题, 并将答案转写到答 题卡上. Every January, Breckenridge hosts the International Snow Sculpture Championships. Fourteen teams travel from all over the world to Switzerland to compete. Teams sculpt for sixty-five hours over five days. Each team hopes that when the time is up, its sculpture will be judged the best. As the championship begins, the fourteen teams are faced with huge blocks of snow that weigh twenty tons each. The sculptors bring out their favorite tools that work best on the hard iced snow, but they are not allowed to employ tools that use electricity. Most teams are inspired by what they have seen in daily life. For example, one team carved a teapot with tea pouring out. Another team sculpted a little cat on its hind feet(后脚)reaching into a fish bowl complete with water ripples(涟漪) and a crab(螃蟹) trying to attack the cat. In 2006, Team USA sculpted a golden dog looking at its image reflected in a mirror. To create the effect that the little dog saw its reflection in the glass, the artists carved two dogs facing each other with their paws(脚爪)touching. As the final hours of the competition tick by, exhausted team members add last-minute detail. They use small brooms to brush off snow caught in tiny holes. One team member counts down the last five minutes while others are busy cleaning up the tools. If they leave any tools behind, they will be out. When the whistle bows, everyone must step away from the sculpture. The judges then vote on creativity, technical skills, and visual impact (视觉效果)of the designs.

That‘s very good, since an urban landscape viewed from above can be an unlovely thing— block after block of tarred (铺有沥青的) black rooftops, sticky in summer, windswept in winter, ugly year-round. Or at least that‘s the way it used to be. But urban roofs are going green. Environmental designers have begun to realize that the tops of buildings don‘t have to be wastelands. Indeed, they can be gardens, planted with grasses, flowers and bushes. A planted roof usually comes in one of the two varieties: extensive or intensive. The extensive type is wide and shallow, with a soil depth of less than 8 inches, able to support smaller plants. The intensive type may smaller, but it‘s relatively deeper and home to larger plants. Whatever the design, green roofs are not so simple as ordinary gardens. They have multiple layers beneath the soil, including a drainage layer, waterproofing, structural support, and so on. But this system can do a great deal of good. A recent paper in the journal BioScience tells that green roofs can control temperature, contain water and clean the air, And most impressively, they can cut heat loss from a building by 50%, lower air-conditioning costs by 25%, and reduce the urban-heated-island effect by 2?C. Of course, apart from the square feet greened and heat reduced, green roofs are even more valued since people can gain some psychological comfort simply by having a quiet place to go. As 23 第 页 共 64 页 so often happens, what‘s good for the planet can also be good for the spirit. 【解析】本文是一片说明文，说明的是:绿色屋顶。 76. 根据第二段的“But urban roofs are going green.”得出答案。 77/78. 根据第一段的“since and urban landscape viewed from above can be and unlovely thing,block after block of tarred black rooftops, sticky in summer, windswept in winter, ugly year-round.”得出答案。 79/80. 根据第三段的“A planted roof usually comes in one of two varieties: extensive or intensive.”得出答案。 81. 根据第三段的“The intensive type may be smaller,”得出答案。 82. 根据第四段的“They have multiple layers beneath the soil, including a drainage layer, waterproofing, structural support, and so on .”得出答案。 83. 根据第五段的大意可以得出结论词汇。 24 第 页 共 64 页 84. 根据第五段的“A recent paper in the journal BioScience tells that green roofs can control temperature, contain water and clean the air.”得出答案。 85. 根据第六段的“Of course, apart from the square feet greened and heat reduced, green roofs are even more valued since people can gain some psychological comfort simply by having a quiet place to go.”得出答案。 第二节 写作(满分25分) 请从下列人物中选择你最喜欢的一位，用英语写一篇120词左右的短文。要求根据所 给信息作适当发挥，且需包括以下三部分内容: 1. 对该人物的简单介绍: 2. 喜欢该人物的理由: 3. 从该人物身上得到的启示。 Sample 1:Thomas Edison Born in America. Thomas Edison was a great scientist and inventor. He was once thought to be a boy who was not worth educating. In fact, he was a man full of imagination. I admire Edison a lot because of his great contribution to the world. He had more than 1000 inventions, In his life time, he was always cager to know how things worked, which helped him to cam the nickname ―the Wizard of Melo Park‖, He was also so diligent that he worked day and night. And this explained why he had so many great inventions. What impresses me most is his famous saying. ―Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration‖. Probably I cannot be an Edison myself, but I can be a hardworking teamer. From him, I realize the secret to success is not when or where you were born. but what you are doing and how you do it in your life. Sample 2: Helen Keller Every time I read ―…..if I had the power of sight for three days‖, I cannot help being moved by its author Helen Keller. an ordinary but great American woman. I admire Helen because she is optimistic about life. She became deaf and blind when she was 19 months old. Since then she lived in a world of darkness and silence, and communication 25 第 页 共 64 页 seemed only a dream for her, But she never gave up and struggled to lead an active life. Under the guidance of her teacher, Ms. Sulliven, Helen learned to read and write and became a famous writer. For a disabled person like her, this was really a wonder! Helen has set an excellent example to all of us. Her story tells us that we should value what we have, and try our best go overcome any difficulty in life. Sample 3:William Shakespeare Do you know Hamlet? Have you read The Merchant of Venice? These two great works are both written by William Shakespeare, my favorite English writer and the man of all ages! Shakespeare, a son from a poor family, a man of little education, wrote plays and poems that are read all over the world, I like him because his comedies and tragedies bring me into a fantastic world; I love him because his poems let me enjoy the beauty of the English language; I admire him because his keen sights set me thinking and teach me how to lead a meaningful life! Since ―Life is a stage‖, we are actually all actors and actresses. On this stage, everyone had his own role to play. and I will try my best to play my role well. 2009年高考英语湖南卷试题解析 第一部分:听力(共三节，满分30分) 做听力部分时，请先在试题卷上作答。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将第1 至第17小题的答案转涂到答题卡上，将第18至第20小题的答案转写到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最 佳选项，并标在试题卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小 题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例:How much is the shirt?

It all started when Graham Broad, a professor at the University of Western Ontario, found McKay‘s name in a footnote in a book about university history. McKay was included in a list of 32 第 页 共 64 页 university alumni (校友) who had served during the First World War, but his name was unfamiliar to Broad, a specialist in military history. Out of curiosity, Broad spent hours at the local archives (档案馆) in a fruitless search for information on McKay. Tired and discouraged, he finally gave up. On his way out, Broad‘s glance happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. His eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture, he experienced a thrilling realization. ―After looking for him all day, there he was, staring up at me out of the exhibiting case,‖ said Broad. Excited by the find, Broad asked his students to continue his search. They combed old newspapers and other materials for clues. Gradually, a picture came into view. Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joined the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes, outlived his entire squadron (中队) as a WWI flyer, spent some time as a flying instructor in England, then returned to the front, where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. But there‘s more to his story. ―For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the most famous pilot in the world,‖ says Broad. ―He was credited with downing Oswald Boelcke, the most famous German pilot at the time.‖ Yet, in a letter home, McKay refused to take credit, saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another German plane. McKay‘s war records were destroyed during a World War II air bombing on London — an explanation for why he was all but forgotten. But now, thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students, a marker in McKay‘s memory was placed on the university grounds in November 2007. ―I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word ?deceased‘ (阵亡) next to his name,‖ said Corey Everrett, a student who found a picture of Mckay in his uniform. ―This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us, but instead of finishing his time at Western, he chose to fight and die for his country.‖ 56. What made Professor Broad continue his search for more information on McKay? A. A uniform of McKay. B. A footnote about McKay. C. A book on McKay. D. A picture of McKay. 【标准答案】D 【试题解析】细节判断题。从最后一段―I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word ?deceased‘ (阵亡) next to his name,‖ said Corey Everrett, a student who found a picture of Mckay in his uniform.可知道答案为D。 57. What did the students find out about McKay? A. He trained pilots for some time. B. He lived longer than other pilots. C. He died in the Second World War. D. He was downed by the pilot Boelcke. 【标准答案】A 【试题解析】细节判断题。由第二段第三句Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joined the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes, outlived his entire squadron (中队) as a WWI flyer, spent some time as a flying instructor in England,可得知。 58. McKay‘s flying documents were destroyed in . A. Belgium B. Germany C. Canada D. England 【标准答案】D 【试题解析】细节判断题。由第四段 McKay‘s war records were destroyed during a World War II air bombing on London — an explanation for why he was all but forgotten. 可以得出结论。 33 第 页 共 64 页 59. We can learn from the last paragraph that McKay . A. preferred fight to his study B. went to war before graduation C. left a picture for Corey Everrett D. set an example for his fellow students 【标准答案】B 【试题解析】细节推断题。从最后一段的最后一句―This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us, but instead of finishing his time at Western, he chose to fight and die for his country.‖ 可以推断出。 60. What is the text mainly about? A. The research into war history. B. The finding of a forgotten hero. C. The pilots of the two world wars. D. The importance of military studies. 【标准答案】B 【试题解析】主旨概括题。由第一段可知Eddie McKay, a once-forgotten pilot, is a subject of great interest to a group of history students in Canada.

Fish diet to avoid being beaten up, thrown out of their social group, and getting eaten as a result. That is the fascinating conclusion of the latest research into fish behavior by a team of Australian scientists. The research team have discovered that subordinate fish voluntarily diet to avoid challenging their larger competitors. ―In studying gobies we noticed that only the largest two individuals, a male and female, had breeding (繁殖) rights within the group,‖ explains Marian Wong. ―All other group members are nonbreeding females, each being 5-10% smaller than its next largest competitor. We wanted to find out how they maintain this precise size separation.‖ The reason for the size difference was easy to see. Once a subordinate fish grows to within 5-10% of the size of its larger competitor, it causes a fight which usually ends in the smaller goby being driven away from the group. More often than not, the evicted fish is then eaten up. It appeared that the smaller fish were keeping themselves small in order to avoid challenging the boss fish. Whether they did so voluntarily, by restraining how much they ate, was not clear. The research team decided to do an experiment. They tried to fatten up some of the subordinate gobies to see what happened. To their surprise, the gobies simply refused the extra food they were offered, clearly preferring to remain small and avoid fights, over having a feast. The discovery challenges the traditional scientific view of how boss individuals keep their position in a group. Previously it was thought that large individuals simply used their weight and size to threaten their subordinates and take more of the food for themselves, so keeping their competitors small. While the habits of gobies may seem a little mysterious, Dr. Wong explains that understanding the relationships between boss and subordinate animals is important to understanding how hierarchical (等级的) societies remain stable. The research has proved the fact that voluntary dieting is a habit far from exclusive to humans. ―As yet, we lack a complete understanding of how widespread the voluntary reduction of food intake is in nature,‖ the researchers comment. ―Data on human dieting 35 第 页 共 64 页 suggests that, while humans generally diet to improve health or increase attractiveness, rarely does it improve long-term health and males regularly prefer females that are fatter than the females‘ own ideal.‖ 65. When a goby grows to within 5-10% of the size of its larger competitor, it . A. faces danger B. has breeding rights C. eats its competitor D. leaves the group itself 【标准答案】A 【试题解析】细节推断题。从第二段each being 5-10% smaller than its next largest competitor. 可以判断出小于5 - 10%的未来最大的竞争对手。 66. The underlined words ―the evicted fish‖ in Paragraph 3 refer to . A. the fish beaten up B. the fish found out C. the fish fattened up D. the fish driven away 【标准答案】D 【试题解析】词义判断题。由上句it causes a fight which usually ends in the smaller goby being driven away from the group. More often than not，…可以推断出D的答案。 67. The experiment showed that the smaller fish . A. fought over a feast B. went on diet willingly C. preferred some extra food D. challenged the boss fish 【标准答案】B 【试题解析】细节判断题。从第三段最后一句话中可知道，拒绝供给他们额外的食物，而保 持小,避免战斗。故选B。 68. What is the text mainly about? A. Fish dieting and human dieting. B. Dieting and health. C. Human dieting. D. Fish dieting. 【标准答案】D 【试题解析】主题概括题。从文章中的一段和最后一段:研究已经证明了这一事实,节食是 自愿的习惯远非人类。” D Andrew Ritchie, inventor of the Brompton folding bicycle, once said that the perfect portable bike would be ―like a magic carpet…You could fold it up and put it into your pocket or handbag‖. Then he paused: ―But you‘ll always be limited by the size of the wheels. And so far no one has invented a folding wheel.‖ It was a rare — indeed unique — occasion when I was able to put Ritchie right. A 19th-century inventor, William Henry James Grout, did in fact design a folding wheel. His bike, predictably named the Grout Portable, had a frame that split into two and a larger wheel that could be separated into four pieces. All the bits fitted into Grout‘s Wonderful Bag, a leather case. Grout‘s aim: to solve the problems of carrying a bike on a train. Now doesn‘t that sound familiar? Grout intended to find a way of making a bike small enough for train travel: his bike was a huge beast. And importantly, the design of early bicycles gave him an advantage: in Grout‘s day, tyres were solid, which made the business of splitting a wheel into four separate parts relatively simple. You couldn‘t do the same with a wheel fitted with a one-piece inflated (充气的) tyre. So, in a 21st-century context, is the idea of the folding wheel dead? It is not. A British design engineer, Duncan Fitzsimons, has developed a wheel that can be squashed into something like a slender ellipse (椭圆). Throughout, the tyre remains inflated. 36 第 页 共 64 页 Will the young Fitzsimons‘s folding wheel make it into production? I haven‘t the foggiest idea. But his inventiveness shows two things. First, people have been saying for more than a century that bike design has reached its limit, except for gradual advances. It‘s as silly a concept now as it was 100 years ago: there‘s plenty still to go for. Second, it is in the field of folding bikes that we are seeing the most interesting inventions. You can buy a folding bike for less than ?1,000 that can be knocked down so small that it can be carried on a plane — minus wheels, of course — as hand baggage. Folding wheels would make all manner of things possible. Have we yet got the magic carpet of Andrew Ritchie‘s imagination? No. But it‘s progress. 69. We can infer from Paragraph 1 that the Brompton folding bike . A. was portable B. had a folding wheel C. could be put in a pocket D. looked like a magic carpet 【标准答案】A 【试题解析】逻辑推理题。从文章第一段Andrew Ritchie, inventor of the Brompton folding bicycle, once said that the perfect portable bike would be ―like a magic carpet…ou could fold it up and put it into your pocket or handbag‖. 70. We can learn from the text that the wheels of the Grout Portable . A. were difficult to separate B. could be split into 6 pieces C. were fitted with solid tyres D. were hard to carry on a train 【标准答案】C 【试题解析】细节判断题。从文in Grout‘s day, tyres were solid, 可知。 71. We can learn from the text that Fitzsimons‘s invention . A. kept the tyre as a whole piece B. was made into production soon C. left little room for improvement D. changed our views on bag design 【标准答案】A 【试题解析】细节判断题。从第四段最后一句话Duncan Fitzsimons, has developed a wheel that can be squashed into something like a slender ellipse (椭圆). Throughout, the tyre remains inflated.可知。 72. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Three folding bike inventors B. The making of a folding bike C. Progress in folding bike design D. Ways of separating a bike wheel 【标准答案】C 【试题解析】逻辑判断题。从整篇文章中可以看出是对便携式是自行车的设计的改进。 第二节 简答题(共3小题;每小题2分，满分6分) 阅读下面短文，根据第73至第75小题的具体要求，简要回答问题，并将答案转写到 答题卡上。 37 第 页 共 64 页 A long time ago, Milton S. Hershey, the creator of the popular chocolate bars, was dipped in warm chocolate. I know all about it. My grandfather was there! At nineteen, Hershey established a candy business in Philadelphia. Although it failed, he tried again in several other cities and succeeded with Crystal A Caramels. But Hershey was not content. He began experimenting with chocolate and managed to sell his first chocolate bars in 1900. They were an instant success. In 1903, Hershey built a factory. Hershey was usually pleasant and kind and enjoyed a good joke. However, in his chocolate factory, he held high standards for all the workers. He was both respected and feared. His anger would burst out when things didn‘t go as he‘d expected, and workers were fired for mistakes. My grandfather began working in the factory as a young man. His job was to push the vats (大桶) of warm chocolate to a storage area. To do this, he had to push the heavy vats up a ramp (斜坡) and across the walkway. One day, Hershey was walking backward on the walkway while my grandfather was pushing a vat of chocolate up the ramp. Bump. Clunk. Ker-plop! Hershey fell backward into the vat. Everyone else held their breath and ran up to pull him out. Grandfather froze in fear. Was he going to lose his job? Hershey stood stiffly with his hands on his hips. Color rose in his face. He said something in a low voice. Then he smiled. ―It‘s not your fault, son,‖ he said. ―I need to watch where I‘m going.‖ He put some chocolate in his mouth. ―Mmm, that‘s good,‖ he said. Everyone laughed. The tour continued, with Hershey dripping chocolate as he went. And Grandfather kept his job. 73. What did Grandfather do in Hershey‘s factory? (回答词数不超过12个) He pushed the vats of warm chocolate to a storage area. 74. Why didn’t Hershey fire Grandfather? (回答词数不超过10个) Because he realized it was his own fault. Because he realized it was not Grandfather‘s fault/mistake. 75. What does the incident show us about Hershey? (回答词数不超过15个) (It shows us that) Hershey was pleasant, humorous, kind (to others) and really respectable. 【标准答案】 73. He pushed the vats of warm chocolate to a storage area. 74. Because he realized it was his own fault. Because he realized it was not Grandfather‘s fault/mistake. 75. (It shows us that) Hershey was pleasant, humorous, kind (to others) and really respectable. 第四部分:书面表达(共两节，满分35分) 第一节 填空(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在文后第76至第85小题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:每空不超过3个单词。 What is eco-fashion? Eco-fashion is a complex phenomenon and the common use of the term covers two aspects of fashion — ?ecological‘ and ?ethical‘ (伦理的). Ecological fashion usually refers to textile (织物) and clothing production processes and the environmental issues (议题) surrounding them; ethical fashion generally relates to the working conditions involved in the producing processes. 38 第 页 共 64 页 What are the problems with fashion? Firstly, the production of textiles pollutes the environment heavily. Cotton-planting uses pesticides; sheep-farming and wool-cleaning contribute to global warming; synthetics-making (人造纤维生产) brings about harmful waste. Secondly, every stage of clothing production has a significant effect on the environment. They all use a great deal of energy, and some also involve harmful chemicals. In addition to this, there is a lot of waste produced in the process, especially in the form of polluted water. Thirdly, growing consumption levels and our shopping habits further worsen the bad effects. We are now buying clothes in increasing quantities without realizing the scale on which it affects natural environment, and we are also quick to throw away clothes that have been worn only a couple of times. Then, how to solve the problems? To a large degree, it is the fashion producers that really have the power and the responsibility to shape our future. There are numerous ways in which these producers can reduce their ecological footprint, from switching to green energy and reducing energy use, through selecting sustainable (可持续使用的) materials and choosing local suppliers, to recycle and minimize waste. On the other hand, as consumers we can all make contributions by selecting environmentally friendly clothing and reducing clothing consumption. Now many people are beginning to shop for organic food products because the benefits of eating food free of chemicals are straightforward and immediate. They relate directly to our personal health. In fact, choosing eco-fashion can also contribute to our personal health, though it is mostly done by way of keeping the health of the planet. Why choose eco-fashion? Textile & clothing production processes Ecological 76 Related environmental issues of fashion Ethical 77 involved Cotton-planting: use of pesticides Textile production 79 : global warming Synthetics-making: harmful waste Consuming a great deal of energy 78 80 with fashion Using harmful chemicals Producing a lot of waste New clothes: bought 81 Consumption levels & shopping habits Old clothes: thrown away quickly Ways to 83 and minimize waste: , Switching to green energy Fashion producers , Reducing energy use 82 , Selecting sustainable materials to problems , Choosing local suppliers 84 Selecting environmentally friendly clothing 39 第 页 共 64 页 85 Choosing eco-fashion can contribute to our personal health. 【标准答案】 76.

Why do they want to buy a gift for their mother? A. It's her birthday. B. It's Mother's Day. C. It's Women's Day. 第一题选择A, 对话开头一两句即出现对话的目的和主题，主题开头的提问，往往揭示要点， 这是必考的考点。 2. What are they going to buy? A. Some flowers. B. A box of chocolates. C. A book. 第二题选择C，这是尾巴细节题，在最后一句出现，注意一头一尾的考点，复合湖南高考听 力一贯的解题原则，最后听到的即为正确答案，前面的A B 项都是干扰信息。 Conversation 2 长对话二 Q3-4 求助场景 W: It‘s 9 o‘clock now. Here Bill, I need to mail these letters right away. M: Ok, Miss #$%, I‘ll do it right now. W: And while you‘re there, please buy 10 one dollar‘s stamp. 43 第 页 共 64 页 M: No problem, I should be back in half an hour. 3. What does the woman ask the man to do? A. Go to a bank. B. Mail letters.

C. 10:00. 第四题选择B。考考听力细节题常考时间、地点、人名、数字，所以关注。综合前后两个时 间信息，稍作处理，得知选择第二个选项。在对话里听到的具体时间绝度不是正确选项。 Conversation 3 长对话三 Q5-6 邀请场景 M: I‘m thinking about going to the rock concert in the student‘s center, will you join me? W: Sorry, I don‘t think I‘ll go to the concert tonight. I‘ll have to wait %$^‖s call, and then prepare for the exam.

What is the woman going to do tonight? A. Go to a concert. B. Phone her doctor. C. Prepare for an exam. 第五题选择C。此为邀请场景，男的主动邀，女的不愿去，八成因学习。“男生贪玩，女生 好学”是高考听力的考试文化。 6. What is the probable relationship between the two speakers? A. Teacher and student. B. Classmates. C. Doctor and patient. 第六题选B。两人谈论邀请和考试，这样的场景明显定位到同学关系。 Conversation 4 长对话四 Q7-9 问路场景 M: Excuse me, can you tell me how to get to the history museum? W: Sure, go to the central Park, pass the high school, then turn left at Hilton Hotel, a 5 star hotel. It‘s 2, oh no, 3 blocks from here. M: Thank you, that sounds easy to find. W: But it‘s closed today. It‘s not open on Saturday and Sunday, just on weekdays you know. 44 第 页 共 64 页 7. Where does the man want to go? A. The history museum. B. The Central Park. C. The high school. 第七题选择A。第一题大答案在第一句尤其是问句定位，这种题目已经简单到无以复加的程 度。 8. How far away is the place? A. Two blocks. B. Three blocks. C. Five blocks. 第八题选择B。这题设计从口语语境角度看稍有新意，并且考到了blocks街区这个是用场景 词汇。现在的听力录音不再是读台词般一成不变，而是模仿自然口语交流状况，出现大量语 气词和口误，然后自我修复，从而揭示观点态度和重要细节信息，对话中的“It’s 2, oh no, 3 blocks from here„”就属这个范畴。考生记住，录音者口误然后马上自我更正，属于明显 的语音提示，必有细节考点出现。 9. When is the place open? A. From Monday to Friday. B. Through the whole week. C. On Saturday and Sunday. 第九题选A。结尾对时间的常规考察。这涉及到了西方生活方式，博物馆、图书馆、超市到 周末不开门，常识可帮助我们定位到A选项。 Conversation 5 长对话五Q10-12 车祸场景 M: Mr. Jackson had a car accident last night. His wife called this morning. W: How terrible! He was supposed to go to London tomorrow. Is he all right? M: Not really. He‘ll be out of the office for a while. About one week in the hospital I think, and then another two weeks at home. W: I guess his wife already know it. Well, I know his secretary will have to take on most of his work while he ?s gone. 10. Why is Mr. Jackson out of the office? A. He has been injured. B. He has gone to London. C. He is looking after his wife. 第十题选择A。一般高考听力车祸场景规律为“车损毁，人没事”，这里男主人公受伤不亲， 似有反规律之嫌疑。开始和中间提到了Mr. Jackson出了车祸，然后提到he will be out of office foe a while,所以得知他伤得不轻。 11. How long will he probably be away from work? A. One week. B. Two weeks. C. Three weeks. 45 第 页 共 64 页 第十一题选择C。先在医院呆一周，然后在家休养两周，简单相加就得知三周离岗，简单至 极，侮辱湖南高考学生智商。 12. Who will do his work while he is away? A. His wife. B. The boss. C. The secretary. 第十二题选择C。结尾出现的尾巴细节，所听即所选，并用I know 作为提示。 Conversation 6 长对话六 Q13-15 饮食健康场景 M: Mary, can I sit here? W: Sure, Man. What are you having for lunch? Let me see, and what‘s in your plate? A…, pork and fried chicken again? M: They are really delicious. And I cannot imagine a meal without meals. W: You never eat vegetables. That‘s not good for you. How‘s your cold man, have you seen a doctor? M: An, it‘s nothing serious, and it‘s not necessary to bother the doctor. I‘m taking the medicine, and I‘ll be well soon. W: You‘re so careless about your health. M: Oh, do not speak to me like my doctor, I know what‘s good for me. W: Oh I finally understand Dr. Kevin‘s lecture. M: What do you mean? W: He said men lives shorter than women, because they always pay no attention to their health. 13. Where are the two speakers? A. In a dining hall. B. In a hospital. C. In a lecture room. 第十三题选择A。开头女孩的“What are you having for lunch?”可定位到餐厅场景。但选项 A明显是Chinglish, 正确说法应当是Canteen 或 Cafeteria, hall为集会场所。 14. What did the man do? A. He saw a doctor. B. He took some medicine. C. He had vegetables for lunch. 第十四题选择B。A和C的信息都在对话里被否定。女孩说“You never eat vegetables”, 把 握对话里的绝对否定词。 15. What does the woman think the man should do? A. Have meals regularly. B. Go to Dr. Kevin's office. C. Pay attention to his health. 46 第 页 共 64 页 第十五题选择C。女孩埋怨男生You’re so careless about your health.最后一句说女人命长是 因为 pay attention to the health. 所以应当选择C。这是对话体力稍具人性化的一题。 Section B (7.5 marks) Directions: In this section, you will hear a short passage. Listen carefully and thenfill in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard. Fill in each blank withNO MORE THAN THREE WORDS.

Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls. The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom, "I don't know how to use a computer," she admits. Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes(糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation(JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. "I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says. "I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease." But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts(甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow up—again—and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet. Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. "Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or 56 第 页 共 64 页 other," she insists. "It doesn't do any good. No one is immune(免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I've come to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be." 61. Why did Mary feel regretful? A. She didn't achieve her ambition. B. She didn't take care of her mother. C. She didn't complete her high school. D. She didn't follow her mother's advice. 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her mom, ?I don't know how to use a computer‘ she admits”,【答案】D。 62.

"We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions," Jack said. "Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth." According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations. The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies. It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than did Westerners. "The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions," Jack said. "Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less." In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions 58 第 页 共 64 页 across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation. 66. The discovery shows that Westerners . A. pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth B. consider facial expressions universally reliable C. observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways D. have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure”, 【答案】A。 67.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer. An apprenticeship is a form of on-the-job training that combines workplace experience and classroom learning. It can last anywhere from one to six years, but four years is typical for most. An apprentice spends the majority of the time in a workplace environment learning the practical skills of a career from a journeyman—someone who has done the job for many years. The rest of the apprentice's time is spent in a classroom environment learning the theoretical skills the career requires. Being an apprentice is a full-time undertaking. One of the advantages of apprenticeship is that it does not cost apprentices anything. The companies that hire them pay for school. What's more, it offers apprentices an "earn while you learn" opportunity. They usually start out at half the pay of a journeyman, and the pay increases gradually as they move further along in the job and studies. Near the end of the apprenticeship, their wages are usually 90 percent of what a journeyman would receive. Apprenticeship also pays off for employers. It can offer employers a pool of well-trained workers to draw from. Despite the advantages, apprentices are usually required to work during the day and attend classes at night, which leaves little time for anything else. Sometimes, they might be laid off(下岗) if business for the employers is slow. Once they have completed the apprenticeship and become journeymen, they receive a nationally recognized and portable certification and their pay also increases again. Some journeymen continue employment with the companies they apprenticed with; others go onto different companies or become self-employed contractors. 60 第 页 共 64 页 71. 【解析】根据开篇句“An apprenticeship is a form of on-the-job training ……”， 【答案】Apprenticeship。 72.【解析】根据开篇句“on-the-job training that combines workplace experience and classroom learning”，【答案】classroom learning。 73.【解析】根据第一段“An apprentice spends the majority of the time in a workplace environment learning the practical skills of a career from a journeyman”，【答案】the majority。 74.【解析】根据第一段“The rest of the apprentice's time is spent in a classroom environment learning the theoretical skills the career requires”，【答案】theoretical。 75.【解析】根据第二段“They usually start out at half the pay of a journeyman”， 【答案】at the beginning。 76.【解析】根据第二段“Near the end of the apprenticeship, their wages are usually 90 percent of what a journeyman would receive”,【答案】a journeyman‘s wages。 77.【解析】根据第二段“It can offer employers a pool of well-trained workers to draw from”， 【答案】many well-trained workers。 78.【解析】根据第三段“Sometimes, they might be laid off(下岗) if business for the employers is slow”，【答案】being laid off。 79.【解析】根据文章结构图，选项是最后一段的标题，归纳右栏内容而得。【答案】Results。 80.【解析】根据最后一段“their pay also increases again”【答案】another pay increase。 61 第 页 共 64 页 Section B (10 marks) Directions: Read the following passage, Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage. Secret Santas On Christmas morning, Linda wakes up, and tries to imagine the wide-eyed surprise of children in another household as they unwrap the presents she carefully chose for them. Linda has never met the children, but that‘s all part of the joy of giving as secret Santas, she says. "It's an amazing feeling to buy gifts on an anonymous(匿名的) basis," says Linda. "It brings a whole new meaning to the holidays." Linda and Tony are an American couple living in Toronto, Canada, and Linda did charitable work as a member of the American Women's Club of Toronto. As the name suggests, members are U.S. citizens living in Toronto, who join together for fellowship and community service. To find her "adopted" family, Linda goes to the local schools and requests a wish list for a family that's struggling to survive. Last year she helped a single mother with three children. The mother works as a cleaning lady in a nursing home. "The list is always heartbreaking. They have an opportunity to ask for anything and do just the opposite, asking for basic clothes or simple toys," she says. "We always buy the kids a new winter coat, hats, and gloves." She also buys gifts for the parents. Last year Linda asked the mother for a second wish list—one that didn't include the basics. "Every child should have a Christmas that sticks with them for a lifetime." She purchased iPods for the two older children and a video game system for the youngest. "I have learned a very valuable lesson in all of this," says Linda. "Pay attention to what's going on in your own backyard—no matter where you live." The joy of giving as secret Santas is much sweeter when the gift is anonymous. 81. What reaction does Linda imagine the children will have?
