2.The number of smokers in England is about 8 million. According to the Department of Health, smoking is the biggest cause of early death in the country. Smokers in England have been asked to give up smoking for 28 days this month, in an action backed by Cancer Research UK and the British Heart Foundation.
Research shows people who manage not to light up for this length of time are 5 times more likely to kick the habit. Public health experts say campaigns that include a combination of hard-hitting ads and supportive messages work best.
Quitting smoking can be difficult. However, people are much more likely to succeed if other people are doing the same than if they try to do it alone and go cold turkey. Robert West, Director of Tobacco Studies at University Col lege London, points out how pressure from people around can prevent a smoker going on smoking. “We are social animals,” he said.
The action has met some doubts among readers of the BBC News Online website. Some compared it to asking people to stop eating a s a way of fighting overweight. Others doubt the action’s effectiveness. “Its weakness is that it fails to explain why a person smokes, and the reasons are as many as the number of smokers”, says someone who signed as BluesBerry.
Another reader, Cazz, has decided to give it some credit. He says:“ Campaigns like this won’t necessarily inspire the majority of smokers to quit, but may encourage those thinking about quitting to set a date and try. Surely it’s worth a shot. ”
【1】What does the text mainly talk about?
A．A new action to quit smoking.
B．A way of fighting overweight.
C．A country with the most smokers.
D．The biggest cause of early death.
【2】The underlined phrase “go cold turkey” in the third paragraph means “_______”.
A．buy a cold turkey B．eat too much food C．stop a bad habit D．get much support 【3】Why is it easier to stop smoking when other people are doing the same?
A．Because people usually respect each other.
B．Because they’re faced with the same pressure.
C．Because people are influenced by each other.
D．Because they keep the same animals as pets.
【4】What’s Cazz’ s attitude in the last paragraph? A．Distant．B．Doubtful．C．Surprised．D．Approving
3.Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think. They may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and take photos wherever you are, but they also turn you into a workaholic（工作狂）.
A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the smartphone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles. The study shows the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further 2 hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls.
Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers say they are on call almost 24 hours a day. Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails
just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up, while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 7 am, with more than a third checking their first email in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11pm and midnight.
Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said: “The ability to access millions of applications has made smartphones invaluable for many people. However, there are disadvantages. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smartphones mean that people cannot get away from work. The more constantly in touch we become, the more is expected of u s in work . ”
【1】With a smartphone the average UK working day is _______.
A．2 hours B．9 to 10 hours C．11 to 12 hours D．24 hours
【2】It could be inferred from the text that the British people _______.
A．prefer to check emails in the morning
B．are crazy about different smartphones
C．shorten their normal working hours
D．work extra hours with smartphones
【3】What does Ghadi Hobeika feel about smartphones?
A．They are unimportant for most of people.
B．They have disadvantages for some companies.
C．They make it impossible for people to rest.
D．They are useful to improve a work ability.
【4】Where can we most probably read this text?
A．In a science fiction.B．In a newspaper.
C．In a travel magazine.D．In a storybook.
4.The Republic of Vanuatu is an island nation located in the South Pacific Ocean. It was one of the poorest nations in the region. Within the last five years, however, it has become a hot spot for adventure travelers. In 2006 it was voted the happiest place on Earth. The reason is not that Vanuatu are the richest but that Vanuatu has white-sand islands, clear waters, the world’s most accessible live volcano, great diving and food that grows faster than it can be picked.
With a population of about 221,000, Vanuatu has 113 languages, which is a result of 3,000 years of immigration from many Pacific countries. There are three official languages: English, French, and Bislama. Bislama developed from South Pacific English, a simplified language that traders and other foreigners used it to communicate with speakers of the many local languages.
Most of the islands are mountainous and of volcanic origin. There are several active volcanoes in Vanuatu, including Yasur on the island of Tanna, one of the world’s most accessible volcanoes. If you’ve ever fancied getting close to a volcano, here’s your chance.
Vanuatu Post’s Underwater Post Office has quickly become one of the busiest post offices for postcards in the world! Visitors from around the world want to experience the world’s first underwater post office. The Post Office is only 50 meters offshore and at just three meters below the surface, very appealing to the young and young at heart. Since opening in 2003, the underwater post office has received about 100,000 visitors. They have posted one of the waterproof（防水的）postcards available in Vanuatu; these cards are collected regularly by one of
Vanuatu Post’s four trained divers. The underwater branch is manned daily for usually about an hour, longer with demand.

四、其他
阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意：表格中的每个空格只填一个单词。

请将答案写在答题卡相应题号的横线上。

Some young people have become disappointed with how commercialized Christmas has become. As a result, they try to break with established traditions. What do they do to get more out of Christmas?
Ways of celebrating
By booking a short holiday abroad they can escape winter weather. OK, so flying to warm countries is great for those who live in cold winter climates. But how do you celebrate Christmas when your year-round climate is warm, or even hot?
In California, Santa Claus arrives on a surfboard, wearing an unusual red wetsuit. As long as he comes bearing presents, Surfing Santa would probably be welcome anywhere.
In Australia, many young people enjoy the warm weather with a beach barbecue and cold beer. In recent years, Bondi Beach has become an attraction for overseas visitors to gather and celebrate. It’s not uncommon for numbers to reach 40,000 on Christmas day.
Gift giving
We all know the feeling: you receive the kind of gift that you wouldn’t choose for yourself in a million years. But you have to bear it pretending that you love your new present.
To avoid this experience, many people give gift vouchers（购物礼券）at Christmas. With this, the receivers can buy whatever they want.
Digital and electronic goods feature highly on many young people’s Christmas wish lists. Not surprisingly, then, the Guardian’s top gifts for modern young people are:
Apple’s iPad: The iPad is probably one of t he hottest items of the year. However you look at it, almost everybody wants one.
Digital Cameras: Christmas is the perfect time to give this gift that can help you to catch those special seasonal memories. Digital cameras are not as expensive as they used to be, either. You can take a bargain for as little as $100.
五、书面表达

安徽高三高中英语月考试卷答案及解析
一、单项选择
1.Shy as he would be in _______ public, he is getting more confident in making _______ public speech. A．/; a B．/; the C．a; the D．the; a
【答案】A
【解析】in public是固定用法，意思是当众；第二个空，“一次公开演讲”表示泛指，故用不定冠词a。

【考点】冠词的用法
点评：固定短语切忌不可随意增减冠词；不定冠词泛指某一个人或某一个事物。

解答有关冠词的题型可以从三方面入手，一是习惯搭配，二是固定短语，三是具体语境分析。

对于固定短语平时应多读多记。

2.— Is John coming over this weekend?
— He should, but he _______ not. He seems to be busy these days.
A．can B．may C．must D．will
【答案】B
【解析】句意，这是两个人之间的对话。

第一个人说：“John这周末会来吗？” 第二个人说：“他应该来，但是他可能不来。

他看起来那些天很忙。

”can能；may也表示可能性，may表示的可能性比can小；must 必须； will表将来。

这里表示可能性，且可能性不大，故选B。

【考点】情态动词的考查
点评：情态动词本身不能单独作谓语，只能和其它动词构成谓语，表达特殊的功能和意义。

在学习情态动词时主要从其语法功能和特殊含义的归纳上下功夫，如情态动词表示能力、情感态度和表示推测三种意义的用法差别等。

3.Anne Hathaway, a hottest actress, _______ in so many embarrassing situations over the years.
A．is B．was C．will be D．has been
【答案】D
【解析】根据“over the years”这个时间状语，可判断出应该用现在完成时。

现在完成时可以表示自过去某一时刻到说话时这段时间中的经历。

【考点】时态考查题
点评：英语中的时态主要由动词的形式决定，因此在学习英语时态时，要注意分析动词形式及具体语境，想象在那个特定的时间动作所发生的背景，这个动作是经常性动作、一般性动作、进行性动作、完成性动作还是将要发生的动作。

4.Sorry for my being so late, but you couldn’t figure out _______ great d ifficulty I had finding the right way here. A．which B．how C．what D．so
【答案】C
【解析】通过分析句子结构，可知这是个复合句，其中包含一个宾语从句，且引导词在从句中作宾语，表示“什么”的意思，故用what。

【考点】宾语从句的考查
点评：在句子中起宾语作用的从句叫做宾语从句。

宾语从句分为三类：动词的宾语从句，介词的宾语从句和形容词的宾语从句。

对于含从句的复杂句子，首先应分析语境及句子结构，然后再根据相应的语法规则答题。

5.A Chinese low-budget film, Lost in Thailand, has _______ profits and praise since it hit movie theaters on 12 December.
A．produced B．split C．increased D．harvested
【答案】D
【解析】句意，一部中国的低预算电影《人再囧途之泰囧》，12月12日，在影院公映后，收获了利益和称赞。

Produced 生产 split分开 increased 增加的 harvested 收获，根据题意，故选D。

【考点】词汇辨析
点评：词汇是学习语言的重要环节。

要掌握好英语,记忆相当数量的词汇是必不可少的。

英语中的每一个单词,不仅
表达一定的概念,具有一定的词汇意义,而且在语音、拼法、语法等方面都有自己的特点。

在学生学习英语的过程中,
单词、词组记忆是基础。

解答这类题目，关键是理解题干意思以及各选项词组的意思，可以像数学中的代入法一样，依次把各个选项意思放入句子中进行比较，不难选出正确答案。

6.When I am down, my parents will do what every parent will do, _______ is to hug me tighter and tell me I am
the best.
A．which B．what C．that D．who
【答案】A
【解析】通过分析句子结构，可知这个句子中包含一个非限制性定语从句，且关系词在从句中作主语，指代前面的整个主句内容，故用which。

That和what 不能引导非限制性定语从句。

Who先行词应该是人。

【考点】非限制性定语从句
点评：非限定性定语从句起补充说明作用，缺少也不会影响全句的理解，在非限定性定语从句的前面往往有逗号隔开，如若将非限定性定语从句放在句子中间，起前后都需要用逗号隔开。

需要注意 which引导的非限定性定语从
句是用来说明前面整个句子的情况或主句的某一部分。

在非限定性定语从句中，关系词不能用that,
7.There are many choices to make in life but _______ is more important than what goes on in your heart. A．nothing B．neither C．none D．no one
【答案】C
【解析】句意，生活中有很多中选择，但是没有一种比你心里所想的更重要。

nothing 1)指物；2)谓语用单数；3)
一般用来回答含anything的一般问句及what引起的特殊问句。

neither用作代词，表示“两者都不，双方均不。

none 一个也没有, 毫无, 可以代表人,也可以代表物； none既可指人,也可指物,它只是指在一定范围内,代替上下文
已出现过的名词。

No one 一般用来指人,使用时不受一定范围的限制,后面一般不接引导的介词短语。

这里“many choices”是三者以上，且根据句意是全部否定，对于三者或三者以上的全部否定用 none。

【考点】代词考查
点评：不定代词是历年来高考试题中考查最多的一类。

我们在使用不定代词时，一要注意指代的范围；二要注意是表示肯定还是否定；三要注意词性（它们还可用作形容词）。

8.— Does your father like going to movies?
— Not really. He seldom, _______, visits the cinema.
A．in addition B．when necessary C．if ever D．above all
【答案】C
【解析】句意，句意，这是两个人之间的对话。

第一个人说：“你的爸爸喜欢去电影院看电影？” 第二个人说：“事
实上不是。

他很少，难得去电影院看电影。

”in addition 另外 when necessary 当有必要时 if ever 难得 above all最
重要的是，根据题意，故选C。

【考点】词组辨析
点评：解答这类题目，首先要理解题干的意思，其次要知道各选项词组的意思，然后像数学中的代入法一样，依次把各个选项意思放入句子中进行比较，不难选出正确答案。

关键还是在平时学习的过程中，多积累多记忆。

9.— You _______ for me this morning. I came over here with Michael in his car.
—Well, why didn’t you let me know earlier?
A．should have waited B．would have waited
C．couldn’t have waited D．needn’t have waited
【答案】D
【解析】句意，这是两个人之间的对话。

第一个人说：“今天早晨，你本来没有必要等我，我坐Michael的车过来的。

” 第二个人说：“你为什么不早点让我知道。

” . should have done “过去本该做而没做”； would have waited
对过去事情的假设，意思是“本来会做”；couldn’t have waited “本不能做的事却做了”；needn’t have done 表示“原
本不必做的事却做了”。

根据句意，这里表示“你原本不必等我，实际上你却等我了”，故选D。

【考点】情态动词 + have done
点评：情态动词 + have done这是历年高考热点之一，可表示“推测、责备、怀疑”等多种意义。

情态动词的使用是高中范围内英语学习的一个重点，也是高考中的一个重要考点。

由于每一个情态动词都含有相应的说话者的语气，所以我们既要了解每个情态动词的基本用法，又要体会说话者的语气。

10.Global warming is a big _______ for all and it’s important to raise aw areness about climate change. A．reward B．concern C．evolution D．boom
【答案】B
【解析】句意，全球变暖关系全人类，提升关于气候变化的意识很重要。

Reward 报酬 concern 关系 evolution 进化 boom 繁荣，根据题意，故选B。

在复习词汇的时候，要依据语言的横向组合和纵向聚合，按照点-线-面顺序，构建知识网络环境，对知识内容进行巩固、深化和提升，这样才能提高复习知识点的效率。

这样，再做单项填空题时，就会觉得游刃有余。

对于英语中的词汇用法，平时要多归纳总结，词汇用法的特殊语法规则更要特别记忆。

最好把词汇放在句子中，连同句子一起记忆，这样能够加强记忆。

11._______ this sentence a second time, the meaning will become clear to you.
A．If reading B．When you read C．Reading D．Read
【答案】B
【解析】通过分析句子结构，其中含有一个时间状语从句，表示“当……时候”，A选项缺主语，C选项和D选项和句子主语不存在逻辑上的关系，故排除，故选B。

【考点】时间状语从句考查
点评：用表示时间的连词连接一个句子作状语，这样的主从复合句就是时间状语从句。

连接时间状语从句的连接词有：when, before, after, while, as soon as, until, since...... 这里要注意一点的是，如果主句是一般将来时，从句只能用一般现在时表示将来意义。

12.The manager is always very _______ for appointments, which earns him a good reputation.
A．punctual B．numb C．allergic D．content
【答案】A
【解析】这位经理任职以后总是非常守时，这为他赢得了一个好名声。

Punctual守时的 numb麻木的 allergic 过敏的 content 内容，根据题意，故选A。

【考点】词汇辨析
点评：解答这类题目，关键是理解题干意思以及各选项词组的意思，可以像数学中的代入法一样，依次把各个选项意思放入句子中进行比较，不难选出正确答案。

词汇的考查是必考内容，所以对于词汇一定要多记忆，并且记忆准确。

13.It was with great joy _______ he worked out the problem that he had long been puzzled about.
A．which B．that C．because D．since
【答案】B
【解析】题目中含有It was，出现这样的结构，首先要考虑它是不是强调句。

如果把这种句型结构划掉后，应该是一个完整无缺的句子；这也是判断强调句型与其它从句的方法。

假设它是强调句，去掉it was和空格处，剩下的
句子经过调整语序后变成He worked out the problem that he had long been puzzled about with great joy。

是一个完整的句子，所以是强调句型。

强调句的结构It is/was+被强调部分+ that + 句子的其他成分，如果被强调的部分
是人，可以用who代替that。

【考点】强调句的考查
点评：能够准确把握句子结构是关键。

随着高考考点的不断深入变化，该句型总是以新的面孔出现，或本身发生变化，或与其他句式结构相结合，然而万变不离其宗，总是脱不掉it，be，that/who这一框架结构。

结合近几年有关高考题的特点，将其变化形式归纳如下：强调句型的一般疑问句形式。

一. 句式特征：Is/ Was it +被强调部分+ that…；二、结合特殊疑问词构成特殊疑问句形式。

句式特征：特殊疑问词+is/was it that…？三、强调句型的反
意疑问句形式。

句式特征为：It is/was+被强调部分+that…，isn’t / wasn’t it？
四、强调句型的感叹句形式。

句式特征为：what/ how … it is (that) +主语+谓语！
14.Before going for an interview, it is important to ________ as much information as possible about the company.
A．take out B．bring away C．look up D．turn down
【答案】C
【解析】句意，在采访之前，尽可能多的查找这家公司的信息是很重要的。

take out取出 bring away带走 look up
查阅 turn down拒绝，根据题意，故选C。

【考点】词组辨析
点评：解答这类题目，关键在于理解题干意思，然后快速浏览词组的意思，根据具体语境，使用排除法选出正确答案。

15.— Can I have a look at the menu, please?
— _______, sir, just a minute.
A．If you like B．You are welcome C．It’s up to you D．Of course
【答案】D
【解析】句意，这是两个人之间的对话。

第一个人说：“ 我能看一下菜单吗？” 第二个人说：“当然，先生，稍等片刻。

” If you like如果你喜欢 You are welcome 不用谢It’s up to you 由你决定 Of course 当然，根据题意，故选D。

【考点】本题重点考查情景对话。

点评：解答此类题型首先要理解题干要表达的意思，再分析各个选项的句意，从中选取适合语境的一个。

在平时的学习中，要重视对词组句型的总结和记忆，同时要多积累一些谚语和习语。
