W: That",s ridiculous! If I were you, I would warn her not to try to control me. I missed a big opportunity once. M: What happened?

The decoration is pleasant, the music is good, and the food is delicious. W: Is that the owner",s wife over there? She",s dressed in the very European fashion.
M: She is the owner. She goes to Italy every year to keep in touch with the trends in fashion and food, and in decoration too. But she doesn",t actually change the food or decoration here very much, or the restaurant would lose some of its attraction to the customers. W: Like the red and white tablecloths, you mean?
M: Exactly. And the music. But she always wears the latest style in clothing. W: Yes. Well, what shall we order? M: I",d like to have either seafood or chicken, since I had red meat last night. W: I",d like to try this beef dish and wine. M: OK. I",ll get the chicken dish and wine. Text 9

M: I look forward to receiving your application in writing in a day or two. W: OK. Thank you very much, goodbye. M: Goodbye! Text 10
Bill is my friend. We once shared a rented apartment at college. Living with Bill was fun. We soon found out that we had a lot in common and quickly became close friends. We always had really good discussions about everything: politics, environment, literature, music, and even cooking. But we felt unhappy with each other a couple of times about the housework. Bill often asked me to do more clean, while I thought life",s too short to worry about things like that.
When we graduated three years ago, we went our separate ways and since then our lives have been very different. I went back to my hometown and got a job as a production assistant for art exhibitions. I like my job because I",m helping young people to get involved in the arts. I",m not earning very much, but I get a lot of personal satisfaction from my job. Bill is earning a lot of money, but he doesn",t see me very often now. When he comes down for the weekend, we have a laugh, but our lifestyles are so different now that we don",t have very much to talk about.
2013年高考《考试大纲》调研卷(六)
【考纲梳理与考向预测】 分析2013年新课标高考英语《考试大纲》,我们可以清楚地看到,今年高考英语试卷仍将根据普通高校对考生文化素质的要求,参照教育部的《教学大纲》,并考虑中学教学实际进行命制,有利于中学素质教育的推进,有利于高校选拔人才。\稳定中求发展,发展中求创新\仍为今年的命题指导思想。具体表现在以下几个方面。(1)试卷的命制始终保持以下几个特点:突出语篇;强调运用;注重交际。语言知识题的命制原则为:保证知识点的覆盖面;尽可能增加综合性与语境化因素。语言运用题的命制原则为:语言必须放在实际的并尽可能不同的情景中进行考查;语言必须适合具体的交际场合。(2)今年高考英语试卷的难度将与去年保持一致。试卷将从各个不同的方面考查考生对英语知识的掌握情况。预计今年高考英语试题将进一步强调语言测试的交际性原则,加大对篇章结构分析能力的考查力度,具体表现在:(1)听力以真实的语料设题考查考生的听力理解能力。(2)单项填空部分会着重考查考生在语境中运用语法的能力和对词义的正确理解,加强对英语知识综合运用能力的考查,知识覆盖面广。(3)完形填空和阅读理解的选材可能会更加广泛,对整体篇章的理解能力将是今年考查的重点。特别是完形填空将会加大对篇章层面推断的考查,即要求考生从前后句和前后段的综合理解推断中作出选择。阅读理解题将会增加对深层推断题、主旨大意题的测试力度。
【测试评价与备考策略】 本套试题难度与2012年新课标高考英语试卷的难度相当,但部分题型难度略有上升。整套试题中没有偏、难、怪题,具有较好的区分度。测试效果较为明显,达到了预期的测试目的。从试题测试结果来看,考生基础知识掌握得较好,同时也具备了一定的综合能力,但也暴露了一些平时复习过程中存在的问题。(1)综合运用语言知识的能力不够,主要表现在单项填空部分的词义辨析和完形填空的答题上。这就要求考生在今后的复习中,注意对一词多义的记忆以及对同义词的辨析。(2)阅读理解的薄弱环节主要表现在利用文章结构特点进行推理判断和主旨归纳等方面。针对这一问题,考生应注意加强阅读训练,掌握阅读技巧,提高阅读速度。(3)书面表达部分要注意段落之间的连贯,表达上要注意尽量运用较高级的句式以及过渡性词语,同时要加强对各种体裁范文的积累。
第一部分 听力
1—5 BCBAC 6—10 CBCAC 11—15 CBACB 16—20 ACBBC 第二部分 英语知识运用 第一节 单项填空
21.C 【命题意图】 考查冠词。
【解题思路】 句意:英语已经成为全世界范围内的通用语言,而且本身也在不断变化。第一空,users泛指\全世界的使用者\不加冠词;第二空则特指前面提到的英语这门语言,故应加the。因此选C。 22.B 【命题意图】 考查交际用语。
【解题思路】 第一个说话人提议去看电影,故选B项,表示同意对方的建议。A项用于回答对方的道谢,C项表示\你 )去吧\项表示\别客气\都不符合语境。
23.D 【命题意图】 考查状语从句。
【解题思路】 句意:我觉得你没必要买这么一本英语词典,除非你每天都要用它。根据句意,这里应用unless引导条件状语从句,表示\除非\。 【易错点拨】 本题易误选C。since引导时间状语从句时表示\自从\引导原因状语从句时表示\既然\陈述已经发生的动作。 24.C 【命题意图】 考查句式。
【解题思路】 句意:无论你的年纪有多大,重返课堂都会提升你的事业,甚至是智力。从语意的连贯来看, 这里是\祈使句+and+陈述句\结构,因此选C。
25.C 【命题意图】 考查动词辨析。
【解题思路】 句意:你的作文写得很好,但是篇幅略显短些。你把它扩充一下会更好。由句意可知,应是把作文篇幅\扩展\故选择C。 26.C 【命题意图】 考查动词短语辨析。
【解题思路】 句意:随着求职季的到来,许多毕业生都感到焦虑不安。kick off\会议、活动等)开始\符合句意。put off\推迟\ off \飞机)起飞\ off\出发,动身\。
27.D 【命题意图】 考查动词的时态。
【解题思路】 语境表示事故发生的时候该公司的董事长正在国外的一个旅游胜地。事故发生在过去,故此处应用过去进行时表示当时正在进行的动作。
28.B 【命题意图】 考查定语从句的引导词。
【解题思路】 分析题干可知,引导词本身作地点状语,修饰a point in life\生活中的一个阶段\因此用where。
【易错点拨】 注意,有些不是表示地点的名词,如situation, stage, case, point等,后面的定语从句也用where引导。 29.A 【命题意图】 考查非谓语动词。
【解题思路】 句意:由于要种上许多花草树木,我们新建的学校看上去将更美。因为主句的时态为一般将来时,所以种植花草树木的动作应发生在将来,因此非谓语动词用动词不定式,且花草树木与种植之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系,故A项正确。 30.C 【命题意图】 考查强调句。
【解题思路】 分析句子可知,该题为强调句,强调的部分是由not...but...连接的动名词短语。 31.D 【命题意图】 考查代词。
【解题思路】 语境表示\我\以前读过的他的小说都比不上这一本,前面提到\ of his novels\故这里应用none表替代,表示\三者或三者以上)都不\其他选项均不符合句意。
【易错点拨】 本题易误选A或C。none可指人或物,注意其用法(=no+前述名词);而no one= nobody,只用来指人,不与of连用;注意none与 neither的含义区别,none是\三者或三者以上)都不\是\两者)都不\。 32.B 【命题意图】 考查情态动词。
【解题思路】 句意:你得注意,食用过多的方便面可能对我们的身体造成伤害。may表示\可能\符合句意。 33.A 【命题意图】 考查时态。
【解题思路】 由句意可知,\后来这个数字被大大地减少\是后发生的动作并且发生在过去,plan是在此之前的打算,故应该用过去完成时,表示过去的过去。
34.C 【命题意图】 考查交际用语。
【解题思路】 第一个说话人提出要看看销售的房子,此时应该用C项作答,表示\请这边走\。A是餐饮用语,\请自便\我请客\不客气\。 35.A 【命题意图】 考查非谓语动词。
【解题思路】 句意:据报道,最近几个月出现在我国很多地区的雾霾已经引起了大家对空气质量的注意。从句式结构看,这里应该用\主语+be reported+不定式\结构,由于此处不定式的动作已经发生,故用完成式。 第二节 完形填空
【解题导语】 Oscar本是一只流浪狗,但是它非常幸运地被Joanne Lefson收养,并和主人一起到世界各地去帮助更多的流浪狗。 36.B 【解题思路】 根据下文内容可知,Oscar和主人一起环游世界,因此答案是B。 37.A 【解题思路】 此句的意思是:Oscar成为世界上第一只旅行200 000公里的狗。
38.D 【解题思路】 文章下文讲的是Oscar的故事,故此处应是指故事的开始,因此答案是D。
39.A 【解题思路】 根据下一句中的\ officials at the rescue center were 40 to kill him\可知,救助中心没有为它找到合适的家。fail to do sth.\没有做成某事\。
40.C 【解题思路】 根据文章全文可推知,因为Oscar是一只流浪狗,在没有给它找到一个合适的家的情况下,救助中心打算杀掉它。 41.B 【解题思路】 因为Oscar当时只有两岁,因此B项最适合。其他选项都没有上下文暗示。
42.D 【解题思路】 由下文可知,Joanne Lefson将Oscar收养了。因此可推知她看了Oscar后就喜欢上了这只狗。 43.A 【解题思路】 由下文Oscar随主人一起环游世界可推知,它是一条令人称奇的狗。
44.D 【解题思路】 Joanne Lefson用行动告诉人们一个与普遍认识相反的事实,因此educate\教育\符合句意。 45.C 【解题思路】 \ or disturbed\和\ great dogs\之间是一种转折关系,因此答案用but。
46.A 【解题思路】 这里强调流浪狗的经历在某种程度上和人有点相似,都经历过一个不顺利的阶段,因此用similar。
47.B 【解题思路】 本段描述的是Oscar和主人一起环游世界的情况。2009年,Oscar和它的主人开始了这一旅程。set off\出发,动身\符合文意。 48.B 【解题思路】 根据空后的\ happy home for all the dogs that reside inside shelters\可知,Oscar和主人想为所有的流浪狗找到家。 49.C 【解题思路】 Oscar和主人到过20 000多个流浪狗收容所。
50.D 【解题思路】 由倒数第二段可知,Oscar到过许多著名的地方,因此它是幸运的。 51.A 【解题思路】 后面提到的几个地方都是非常著名的,因此答案是A项。 52.D 【解题思路】 此处前后是递进关系,表示\甚至\因此用even。
53.A 【解题思路】 上面做的事还不够,后面还提到了Joanne Lefson开始重游他们去过的地方,因此用enough。
54.B 【解题思路】 由后边的\ have now begun revisiting the places\可知,Joanne和Oscar并没有在旅程结束后回家,因此选择instead of。 55.C 【解题思路】 由revisiting这一单词可推知,他们重新去了他们最喜欢的地方。 第三部分 阅读理解 第一节
A
【解题导语】 这是一篇人物传记,主要介绍抽象表现主义的先驱杰克森·波洛克,他是20世纪最有影响力的艺术家之一,以其在帆布上很随意地泼溅颜料、洒出流线的技艺而著称,他的作品往往具有让人难以忘怀的自然品质。 56.D 【命题意图】 考查细节理解。
【解题思路】 由文中前四段的内容可知,杰克森·波洛克受过美国画家、墨西哥画家以及西班牙艺术家的影响,文中没有提到英国画家的影响,故答案为D项。

【解题思路】 由第一段第一句话\ Pollock was born in Wyoming in 1912.\及第四段中的\ when he was in his late twenties, Pollock suffered a mental breakdown.\可知,他因为酗酒而精神崩溃大概发生在三十年代后期。 58.D 【命题意图】 考查细节理解。

【长难句解读】 Another therapy uses a \ simulator\ that is turned on early in the morning and gradually increases in brightness, allowing your body to wake up naturally.
分析:本句为复合句。主句为Another therapy uses a \ simulator\引导定语从句修饰先行词\ ‘dawn simulator’\ \为现在分词短语作伴随状语。
译文:另一个疗法使用\黎明模拟器\它在大早上就打开了,然后逐渐增加亮度,让你的身体自然醒来。 60.D 【命题意图】 考查细节理解。
【解题思路】 由第一段、第二段内容可知A、B、C均与SAD的情况相符,由下文的建议可知自然光可以减轻症状,故答案为D。 61.C 【命题意图】 考查推理判断。 【解题思路】 由第三段中的\ it isn",t recommended for people with skin sensitivity\可知答案为C。其余选项与本段内容不符。 62.B 【命题意图】 考查词义猜测。
【解题思路】 判断时需要找出该句谓语动词的主语,which指代前面的\ and anxiety\它们是消极因素,因此答案应选B。 63.B 【命题意图】 考查主旨大意。
【解题思路】 本文主要介绍了应对季候性情感紊乱的几种方法,故B项最能概括本文主旨。the blues\忧郁,沮丧\。
C
【解题导语】 许多大学生认为只要他们努力学习,就应当得到高的分数,但是专家认为,努力和结果不能等同。 64.A 【命题意图】 考查主旨大意。
【解题思路】 根据全文内容尤其是第一段中的\ believe students are owed a good grade simply because they put a lot of effort into a class.\可知,文章主要讨论的是\付出努力是否应该得到高分\。 65.B 【命题意图】 考查细节理解。
【解题思路】 根据第三段的第二句\ 66% agreed that a professor should consider effort and not just the quality of a student",s work when deciding grades.\可知,大多数的学生不同意教授只根据功课的质量来决定分数。 66.D 【命题意图】 考查细节理解。

【解题思路】 根据倒数第二段中的\ the team accept him anyway, just because he tried so hard?\的反问来看,他想让学生知道\努力不等于好结果\。
D
【解题导语】 一个印度妇女来到美国后,发现人们认为她的名字很难读,这使她在工作中处于劣势,因此她成立了一个公司,教人们怎样读别人的名字。
【长难句解读】 \ realized it was not only me who had a difficulty to pronounce name, but a lot people actually had faced that awkward moment where they meet someone else and, they don",t know how to pronounce their name,\ said Dube.
分析:引号中是一个主从复合句。but前面的部分中有一个省略了that的宾语从句,作realize的宾语,在宾语从句中又有一个强调句it was...who,强调了not only me,but后面的部分中where引导了一个地点状语从句。
译文:我意识到并不仅仅是我有读他人名字的困难,很多人都面临着那个尴尬的时刻,当他们遇到其他人的时候,却不知道该怎么读他们的名字。 68.A 【命题意图】 考查细节理解。
【解题思路】 根据文章第四段可知,是她和她的同事Mary做产品介绍的经历,使她产生了开办Audioname的想法,因此选A。 69.A 【命题意图】 考查推理判断。
【解题思路】 从倒数第二段的\ any place that they interact with other people, basically they can have this audio pronunciation next to their name.\可知,通过她的这个网站,人们在任何地方都能够读出其他人的名字了,故她的这个想法使人们之间的互相介绍变得更加容易了。 70.B 【命题意图】 考查细节理解。

W: Yes. This is Tina speaking. Mr. Black, may I have this afternoon off please? Text 3

W: But I work hard all the time for long hours. Often I have no time for lunch. Yet, I am still getting fatter.
M: Dick, you know that work is not the same as exercise, for it is stressful but not relaxing. And skipping meals will not help you lose weight. In fact your body will only store fat if you miss meals. W: I know you",re right, but what can I do?
M: How about going for a walk instead of sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper after dinner every night? W: But I",ll miss the news. It",s important in my business to keep up with events in China.

M: Are you interested in sports?
W: Sure. I love sports and doing sports can keep us healthy and strong. M: Which is your favorite sport?
W: Jumping, I think. I am good at jumping and I am the high jump record breaker in the seventh sports meeting of our school. What about you? M: I prefer running to jumping. You know, I often enter for the 200-meter dash in the sports meeting. W: Oh, I forget. Which sportsman do you like most?
M: I like Louis. He won 8 Olympic gold medals. In my eyes, he is the best runner in the world.
W: But Yao Ming is my favorite. He plays basketball so well. And everyone in our class likes playing basketball.
M: Is that so? In my class, almost all the boys like playing football and we all admire Ronaldo, king of the football world. Text 9
M: Have you heard about Alice and David? W: No. I suppose they had another fight, didn",t they? They",re always quarreling in daily life. M: Oh, no. Believe it or not, they",re going to get married. W: Really? You must be joking. I can hardly believe it. M: Me, too. It",s sure that they",ve gotten engaged. I got it straight from the horse",s mouth. David called me this morning. W: So when did this all happen?
M: It was last weekend while they were on their ski trip. W: Ok, it could be true, but I can",t imagine that they",ll be getting along well after their marriage.

Well, when are they getting married? M: Next June.
W: Please send my best wishes to them. M: With pleasure. Text 10
