Green Action in Our Class Ks5u

April 12 is memorable because our class had a meaningful experience on that day. In the morning, we bicycled to the suburbs to plant trees, talking and laughing all the way. Upon arrival, we began to work immediately. Some were digging holes. Some were carrying and planting young trees. Others were watering them. After getting the work done, we put up a board reminding people to protect the trees. Before leaving we took some photos to record our green action. Seeing the lines of trees, we all had a sense of achievement. We feel it's our duty to protect and beautify our environment. Ks5u

第二节 开放作文（15分） Ks5u

One possible version:

What an interesting picture! A Western young man, sitting at a table, is ready to eat a bowl of noodles. He is holding two forks the same way as we Chinese hold chopsticks. He is trying so hard to pick up the noodles that he is sweating a lot. At first glance, I think it's a bit funny, for we Chinese take for granted that chopsticks are the tools for eating noodles. The man in the picture is trying to copy us. Obviously he is doing it the hard way. Maybe using one fork will do a better job. In my opinion, we don't need to copy other's ways of thinking. Sometimes a simpler way of doing things may be a better way.

08英语高考题四川卷答案

1. 答案：C

解析：以往此类型题作为天津卷的例题出现，今年作为第一题考查。祈使句的用法考查。祈使句（表条件）and 主句（表结果）。译：给我一次机会，我将给你一个大大的惊喜。

2. 答案：B

解析：此题考查情景交际。前句说道我现在马上给你修电脑。后句回复慢慢来，我不着急。由此可知选B。A选项是说我不能忍了。C的意思是好主意。D是我不喜欢。

3答案：A

解析：词汇辨析。句意：风能是世界上增长最快的能源。

A资源。B意义 C结果 D根源

4答案：D。

解析：状语从句的考查。状语从句做题的根本是清楚前后两个句子的逻辑关系即可。根据句意：一个健康的饮食习惯，减肥将会变得更加容易一些。由此可见D项表示一旦，更加符合题意。A除非 B尽管 C在…之前

5 答案：A

解析：非谓语考查。Only to do的意思是结果却发现，表示与前句是意向之外的结果。句意：她内心充满焦虑的把打开裙子包装，然后穿在了身上，结果却发现这条裙子并不适合自己。

6.答案：B

解析：词组辨析 in的词组在高考的考查中是很常见的，所以请考生们多注意。A是对…作出回应 B除了 C.对…负责 D代替。句意可知 除了学校，这个小村庄还有一个诊所，也是由政府出资建立的。。

7答案：C

解析：非谓语作状语。由选项可知此题是考查非谓语。分析后句的主语是the book可知book和write的关系是被动，所以排除A和B。D项是正在被写的意思，有句意可知书已经写完才能鼓舞孩子们。

8 答案：A

解析：冠词的考查。句意：生活就像一片海洋，ocean是元音因素开头所以用an。后句是一个抽象词表示一类人，the strong-willed类似于我们之前学过的the rich和the poor一样。

9.答案： B

解析：单词辨析。此题关键在于看清后面的介词to。固定搭配attach great importance to的意思是非常重视。根据句意，我的父母总总是非常重视我收到良好的教育。

10.答案：A.

解析：情景交际。前句问道，你学英语有多长时间了？回答是大约四个月了。根据后面的句子你的英语如此的好，说明问话人表示惊讶。所以选A不会是真的吧（开玩笑呢吧） B 你对了/你成功了。C我很同意你 D、我被困住了/我很乐意。

11．答案：C

解析：时态的考查。句意是我们要等所有准备工作就绪后在开始。主句是将来时态，所以排除B和D。A是正在被准备，所以错误。

12 答案：B。

解析：考查定语从句。which可以作为定语从句的引导词，而them不可以，如果选C或D则是一句话中有两个谓语动词，就出现错误了。A和B的区别在于all of 后面动词用复数形式，each of 是单属形式，所以B正确。

13 答案：D

解析：考查词组辨析。此题关键在于看懂barriers（障碍）所以两国会面的目的在于消除障碍。只有D符合题意。A化妆，编造，组成，和好。B用光用尽 C 调低

14 答案：A

解析：主语从句考查。在I think后面的宾从中嵌套了主从，有后面的空的位置可看出缺少主语，所以直接填what即可。

15.答案：D

解析：虚拟语气的考查。这道题是省略if的虚拟，由主句的would not have been可知是对过去的虚拟，从句用过去完成时即可，所以选D项。

二．完型

完形填空解析：

本文难度中等偏下。讲述了作者母亲因为工作晋升需要去国外生活，刚开始作者还不太理解母亲的做法，而四年来作者只能与母亲电话沟通，后来等作者到母亲生活工作的地方看过之后，理解来对母亲当年的决定，影响了作者今后的人生选择。

16. B 根据后句但是需要在巴西工作，以及grade（跳级）一词可知这里是指妈妈得到了工作的晋升。Promote符合题意。A吸引 C惊奇 D表扬

Promote： to cause (someone) to do something

1. Curiosity prompted her to ask a few questions.

2. The evidence prompted a criminal investigation.

3. I don't know what prompted him to leave .

提升 提拔

I was promoted to editor and then editorial director...

同义词：inspire cause encourage advance

17.C．既然后句说跳级则说明工作表现良好，所以是well。

18. A .but一词表示转折，出去工作必定会离开自己的朋友，所以是leave。

19.C. 前句出现puzzeled说明作者当时还不理解母亲说的话，所以当天一直在想，用wondering。A解释 B睡觉 D后悔

20.D 通过母亲与作者的一席话可知，作者认为这对于成年人来说是艰难的决定，后文也提到了tough decision。

Tough:hard strong difficult,hard to bear

The competition was tough

21.A．四年来母亲一直通过电话与孩子们交流，所以作者每天都很期待与母亲的对话，eager表示渴望。

Eager:anxious,keen impatient，hungry，thirsty

Robert was eager to talk about life in the Army.

the children's eager faces

22.B 尽管与母亲每天都通电话，但是作者在后文提到however，说明电话并不能代替母亲出现在她们面前，用presence更符合题意。A耐心，C智慧 D影响

23.C 由后句的lonely可知，母亲在国外的生活比较孤单，所以公寓是empty。

24. B。此题考查词组辨析，A对…有兴趣 B知道，清楚 C.对…怀疑 D. 对…感到满意

25.D．强调句式，it is that，就在那个时候作者才渐渐开始明白并欣赏tough decisions

26 .B. 母亲需要权衡家庭和工作，所以用balance。A抛弃 C对比 D混合

27.C 词组辨析，根据动宾搭配原则可知，面临着困难，所以选faced with。A依靠着 B提供 C坚持

28 C 空前的and连接说明两个词词性一样，passion热情是褒义词，所以后文说要有积极的态度。选Cpositive

29 D. 作者受到妈妈的鼓励，回家后也不短提醒自己要努力做 警告

30A manage to do表示成功地做某事。

31C 通过去国外去看望母亲，作者渐渐学会来如何独立，independent符合，A 感激的 B活力四射的 D 实用的

32 D 根据动宾搭配原则，set 后面加上goals表示设定目标。

33 B 对于作者来说这次去国外看母亲生活与工作的经历教会来自己很多，所以是experience。A问题 C历史 D场合

34 A 词组辨析。刚开始作出的牺牲现在都得到回报。Pay off 取得回报 B回来 C用光 D出现

35.A 作者与母亲分别的几年最终证明是对自己很好的选择。Blessing幸福，福利。迷惑选项是D 愉快并不能表达作者此时此刻的心情，作者认为这次经历更多的是幸福。

解析：本文依然延续天津卷历年A卷广告类型出发，小标题清楚。文中介绍了TWU大学的一些概况指南，考题侧重细节理解，只要细心寻找，难度不大。

36 C. 从关键词TWU cafeteria 一词定位第一自然段，便可推出C，难度较低。

37 A 此类容易错选D，但是只要细心会发现D项中Sunday与原文的第三自然段最后一句话相悖，所以错误。

38 D 由关键词WellnessCenter可知定位Health 一段，推出D。

39 C 定位Writing Center。由Academic 一段中第三句话you can sign up for an appointment on可知C正确。

40 D TWU express 定位最后一段便可知于transport相关。

解析：本文讲述了新型发明LongPen的优势之处以及未来发展面临的问题。

41. D 细节理解题。有文章第二自然段第一句话After many tiring book signing tours from city to city 可知D是作者发明Longpen的目的。

42 B 细节理解题 第二自然段很清楚的介绍了Longpen的工作原理，迷惑选项是C项，由文章介绍可知并非是webcam将作者的签名发送到另一个城市。

43 C 细节理解题 此题属于较简单类型，有文章第三自然段即可退出C选项。

44 B 细节理解题 文章第四自然段中it could increase credit card security and allow people to sign up the contract 可推出B项。

45 A 推断题 由最后一段中Atwood所说的话可知尽管对于longpen现在还有很多质疑的声音，但是他并不想放弃。

解析：本文通过对话的形式讲述了父子两在旅行中总结出对于生活的不同见解以及之后对于生活的看法。

46 C 细节理解题 定位原文第三段最后一句话He wants me to settle down, but now I wanted him to find an adventure.可知父亲不喜欢孩子现在的生活状态。

47.D 细节理解题 注意题目问的是作者的而非父亲，容易错选B，而B项是父亲的想法。

48 B 细节理解题 从划线句子以及上一句可以看出作者对于父爱的理解。

49 D 推断题 由文章父子俩的对话以及相互理解可以看出，两个人的思想已经于原来有所转化。I tell him I’ve decided to settled down.可知D正确。

50 C 推断题 根据文章整体理解，可以看出文章围绕作者和父亲的旅行展开，他们因为旅行对人生转换了看法。

解析：本文作者通过对walking从过去人们喜爱到现在逐渐快被人们所忽略，表达作者对于walking的支持，以及鼓励人们加入到walking的队伍当中。

51.C 细节理解题 关键词national sickness可以定位到文章第二段最后一句话，由此可知人们现在walking的很少，而坐车的很多，所以C选项正确。

52 .A 细节理解题 从第三自然段中可以看出作者年轻时walking还是很流行的，所以A所表达的意思正确。B项作者只是提到 25miles是人们认为的比较好的walking距离，并非说人们每天通常都走25miles。所以B项错误。

53 B 细节理解题 定位Henry Thoreau这个人，由第五段中对他所表达的观点可以看出，walking有很多的好处，可以丰富我们的思想。

54 A 词义猜测题 先弄清楚them指的是不喜欢接触自然的人，而对他们来说安全来自于很多的cars，而非walking。所以A项正确。

55 D主旨大意题 文章写作目的明确，从最后一段也可以看出，作者呼吁人们多去走路。所以D项正确。

I believe that doing all these small things will improve our environment and help make our world a better place to live in.

上海高中英语阅读理解及答案

　阅读是一种主动的过程，是由阅读者根据不同的目的加以调节控制的,陶冶人们的情操，提升自我修养。阅读是一种理解、领悟、吸收、鉴赏、评价和探究文章的思维过程。阅读可以改变思想、获取知识，从而可能改变命运。下面为大家带来了高考英语阅读理解带答案，欢迎大家参考阅读！

　Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a tops. The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony of Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer — Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps.Before the order was filled and delivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius’ Government House, and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the design for the stamps. He accidentally inscribed the words “Post Office” instead of “Post Paid” on the several hundred stamps that he printed.Today there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left fourteen One Penny Orange-Reds and twelve Two Penny Blues. Because of the Two Penny Blue’s rareness and age, collectors have paid as much as ＄16 800 for it.

　拓展：高考英语阅读理解攻略

　一、细节题型

　提问方式

　Wh-特殊问句; From the text…，According to…，True/not true,划线词语、句子，简单计算、排列事件顺序、识图等。

　解题方法

　抓住提问中的关键字眼，仔细阅读相关细节的材料内容，一般可以在短文中直接找到或稍加归纳就可以找到正确答案。

　注意排除下列干扰项：

　(1)扩缩范围

　文章为了表达得准确严密，很注意对范围的限定。有的是通过加上相应的词语限制，如涉及到数量时常用many,almost all,nearly,more than,over,only a few,normally等限制。有些干扰项是通过改变或去掉限定词语，甚至是扩大或缩小了语言范围。

　(2)偷换概念

　命题者设计试题时往往把原文的概念偷换成另一个不同的概念。望文生义是造成错误的主要原因。

　(3)正误并存

　在一干扰项中，某个句子或词语是正确的，其他分句或词语是错误的或表达不全面，正误并存，命题者借此以假乱真。要排除这类干扰项，只要一个选项局部有误或选项不全面，都属排除的干扰项。

　二、主旨大意题型

　提问方式

　What' s the topic/subject of the text/the second paragraph?

　What is stated in…? The text is cheifly concerned with_______。

　解题方法

　(1)最常用的方法是仔细研读短文的1、2两句-----即短文的主题句，或辅以阅读各段的第1、2句----即段落中心句。此方法多适用于说明文、议论文。

　(2)记叙文等需要通读全文，抓住关键事或论题来归纳意思(常说明一个道理)。

　(3)全文末尾(段)找答案。此类文章的特点是以列举事实开头，通过论证，最后阐述核心观点。

　在处理文章标题的`选择时，要避免下列三种错误：

　①概括不够(多表现为部分代整体，从而导致范围太小);②过度概括(多表现为人为扩大范围);③以事实或细节代替抽象具体的大意。

　三、推理判断题型

　提问方式

　The story suggests that___________. It can be inferred that_____________.

　The story implies that _____________. It can be concluded that __________.

　We can learn that _______________.

　解题方法

　推断题是考查学生透过文章表面的文字信息进行分析、综合、归纳等逻辑推理的能力。学生不仅要弄懂文章的字面意思，更重要的是要知道文章的潜在涵义。

　注意点

　(1)那些文章中直接陈述的内容不能选，要选择根据文章推理出来的选项。

　(2)推理不是凭空猜测，而是立足已知推断未知;作出正确答案时一定要在文中找到依据或理由。

　(3)不能以自己的观点代替作者的想法;不要脱离原文主观臆断。

　四、词义猜测题

　①利用构词法猜词;

　②利用语境及逻辑关系猜词。有时完全可以利用上下文语境和前后句之间的并列、因果、转折、对比、解释定义和举例等关系来猜测词义。同时特别留心某些词语，例如：or, that is, in other words, including, although, but, or, even if, on the other hand, on the contrary, other than, rather than, more than, instead of等词语之后的内容。

　2015上海英语高考真题阅读理解

　(A)

　Look to many of history?s cultural symbols, and there you?ll find an ancestor of Frosty, the snowman in the movie Frozen. It appeared on some of the first postcards, starred in some of the earliest silent movies, and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos, dating all the way back to the 1800s. I discovered even more about one of humanity?s earliest forms of life art during several years of research around the world.

　For example, snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages, built with great skill and thought. At a time of limited means of expression, snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky. It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art. Some were created by famous artists, including a 19-year-old Michelangelo, who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence, Italy, to build a snowman in his mansion?s courtyard.

　The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) is the first full-length feature film made by directors Nick Park and Steve Box with their amazing plasticine (粘土) characters Wallace and Gromit. It won an Oscar in 2006, and if you watch it, you?ll understand why. It?s an absolutely brilliant cartoon comedy.

　Cheese-loving inventor Wallace and his brainy dog Gromit have started a company to protect the town?s vegetables from hungry rabbits. However, just before the annual Giant Vegetable Competition, an enormous rabbit begins terrorising the town. It is attacking all the vegetables and destroying everything in its path. The competition organizer, Lady Tottington, hires Wallace and Gromit to catch the monster alive. But they will have to find the were-rabbit before gun-crazy hunter Victor Quartermaine who is desperate to kill it.

　The screenplay is witty and full of amusing visual jokes. As usual, the voice of Peter Sallis is absolutely perfect for the role of Wallace, and Gromit is so beautifully brought to life, he can express a huge range of emotions without saying a word. And both Helena Bonham-Carter, who plays the part of Lady Tottington, and Ralph Fiennes as Victor are really funny.

　To sum up, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is an amazing film which is suitable for both children and adults. If you liked Wallace and Gromit?s previous adventures and you appreciate the British sense of humour, you?ll love this film. Don?t miss it!
