One of my wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift. Unlike other gifts, it came without wrap(包装).
On September 11th ，1958，Mum gave birth to Richard. After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying, ―I promised you a gift, and here it is.‖ What an honor！I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own. I played with it day and night. I sang to it.
I told it stories .I told it over and over how much I loved it!
One morning, however, I found its bed empty. My doll was gone! I cried for it. Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing bad been sent to a hospital. It had a fever. For several days I Heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as ―hopeless‖, ―pitiful‖, and ―dying‖, which sounded ominous.
Christmas was coming. ―Don’t expect any presents this year,‖ Dad said, pointing at the socks I hung in the living room. ―If your baby brother lives, that’ll be Christmas enough.‖ As he sp oke, his eyes filled with tears. I’d nev er seen him cry before.
The phone rang early on Christmas morning. Dad jumped out of bed to answer it. From my bedroom I heard him say, ―What? He’s all right?‖ He hung up and shouted upstairs. ―The hospital said we c an bring Richard home!‖
―Thank God!‖ I heard Mum cry.
From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car. I had never seen them so happy. And I was also full of joy. What a wonderful day! My baby doll would be home. I ran downstairs. My socks still hung there flat. But I knew they were not empty; they were filled with love!

Top lists are lecturing people on everything from ―100 places to visit‖ to ―100 books to read ‖. Aren't you just tired of being told what to do with your time?
Now you have a list to end all lists!
Take a look at the following two exampl es from the list of ―101 things not to do‖:
Swim with Dolphins（海豚）？
Swimming with dolphins is one of the world’s most profitable tourist activities. However, every dolphin will welcome
having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and
pushing around them in the water. Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨).
Here’s a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they’re just opening their mouths.
Go to See the Mona Lisa?
There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的)smile. The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can’t all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying, standing in front of you, holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.
If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn’t just be smiling, she’d be laughing.
So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die. Visit /doc/16182126.html, and buy the book at
a 20％discount.
35. According to the passage, swimming with dolphins________.
A. is the world’s most popular tourist activity
B. gives fun to both tourists and dolphins
C. will make tourists busy and tired
D. can cause danger to dolphins
36. What does the author think about going to see the Mona Lisa?
A. It is wrong to go and see the mysterious smile.
B. It is not as satisfying as expected.
C. Fifteen seconds in front of the painting is enough.
D. Queuing for hours is worthwhile.
37. The list of ―101 things not to do‖ is made most probably because its author_______.
A. thinks it boring to do the things suggested by other lists
B. believes other lists are not humorous enough
C. intends to persuade people to read more lists
D. wants to provide a list different from other lists
38. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To advertise a book
B. To introduce a website
C. To comment on popular lists
D. To recommend tourist activities.
C
There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit of whisky(威士忌)at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle. When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873, she wrote in her diary, ―I never saw a lovelier spot ,‖ And she didn’t even go fishing.
Scotland is not easily defined. In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light, the rivers, teeming with fish, can turn into streams of gold . As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy Castle , any frustration(烦恼) will float away as gently as the circling water. It’s just you and purple, pink, white flowers, seeking a perfect harmony. If you are a new comer to fishing, learning the basics
from a fishing guide may leave you with a lif etime’s fun. For many, fishin g is more than a sport; it is an art.
Scotland offers interesting place where you can rest after a long day’s fishing. Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland, the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nev is is a perfect place to see t he beauty of Scotland’s mountains. Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains, and reaching its 1343-metre top is a challenge. But it’s not just what goes up matters; what comes down is unique. More than 900 meters hig h, on the mountain’s north face, lies an all-important source of pure water. Its name comes from the Gaelic language ―usquebaugh‖ or ―water of life‖; and it is the single most important ingredient(原料) in Scotland’s best known drink: whisky.
39. The story of Queen Victoria is to show that _____.
A. the queen is rich in tour experience
B. the Castle is a good place to go in Scotland
C. tasting whisky is better than going fishing
D.1873 is a special year for the queen
40. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?
A. By giving descriptions.
B. By following time order.
C. By analyzing causes.
D. By making comparisons.
41. What is Ben Nevis special for?
A. The Inverlochy Castle Hotel.
B. The beauty of its surroundings.
C. The water from the mountain.
D. The challenge up to its top.
42. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists.
B. To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.
C. To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland.
D. To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland.
D
To take the apple as a forbidden fruit is the most unlikely story the Christians（基督教徒）ever cooked up. For them, the forbidden fruit from Eden is evil（邪恶的）. So when Columbus brought the tomato back from South America, a land mistakenly considered to be Eden, everyone jumped to be the obvious conclusion. Wrongly taken as the apple of Eden, the tomato was shut out of the door of Europeans.
What made it particularly terrifying was its similarity to the mandrake, a plant that was thought to have come from Hell（地狱）.What earned the plant its awful reputation was its roots which looked like a dried-up human body occupied by evil spirits. Tough the tomato and the mandrake were quite different except that both had bright red or yellow fruit, the general population considered them one and the same, too terrible to touch.
Cautious Europeans long ignored the tomato, and until the early 1700s most of the Western people continued to drag their feet. In the 1880s, the daughter of a well-known plant expert wrote that the most interesting part of an afternoon tea at her father’s house had been the ―introd uction of this wonderful new fruit—or is it a vegetable?‖ As late as the twentieth century some writers still classed tomatoes with mandrakes as an ―evil fruit‖.
But in the end tomatoes carried the day. The hero of the tomato was an American named Robert Johnson, and when he was publicly going to eat the tomato in 1820, people journeyed
for hundreds of miles to watch him drop dead. ―What are you afraid of?‖ he shouted. ―I’ll show you fools that these things are good to eat!‖ Then he bit into the tomato. Som e people fainted. But he survived and, according to a local story, set up a tomato-canning factory.
43. The tomato was shut out of the door of early Europeans mainly because ______.
A. it made Christians evil.
B. it was the apple of Eden
C. it came from a forbidden land
D. it was religiously unacceptable
44. What can we infer the underlined part in Paragraph 3?
A. The process of ignoring the tomato slowed down
B. There was little progress in the study of the tomato
C. The tomato was still refused in most western countries
D. Most western people continued to get rid of the tomato
45. What is the main reason for Robert Johnson to eat the tomato publicly?
A. To make himself a hero
B. To remove peo ple’s fear of the tomato
C. To speed up the popularity of the tomato
D. To persuade people to buy products from his factory
46. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To challenge people’s fixed concepts of the tomato
B. T o give an explanation to people’s dislike of the tomato
C. To present the change of people’s attitudes to the tomato
D. To show the process of freeing the tomato from religious influence
E
In his 1930 essay ―Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren‖, J ohn Keynes, a famous economist, wrote that human needs fall into two classes: absolute needs, which are independent of what others have, and relative needs, which make us feel superior to our fellows. He thought that although relative needs may indeed be insatiable (无止境的) , this is not true of absolute needs.
Keynes was surely correct that only a small part of total spending is decided by the desire for superiority. He was greatly mistaken, however, in seeing this desire as the only source of insatiable demands.
Decisions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality which can influence the demands for almost all goods, including even basic goods like food. When a couple goes out for an anniversary dinner, for example, the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them. Their goal is to share a special meal that stands out from other meals.
There are no obvious limits to the escalation of demand for quality. For example, Porsche, a famous car producer, has a model which was considered perhaps the best sport car on the market Priced at over $120,000; it handles perfectly well and has great speed acceleration. But in 2004, the producer introduced some changes which made the model slightly better in handling and acceleration. People who really care about cars find these small improvements exciting. To get them, however, they must pay almost four times the price.
By placing the desire to be superior to others at the heart of his description of insatiable
demands, Keynes actually reduced such demands. However, the desire for higher quality has no natural limits.
47. According to the passage, John Keynes believed that_______.
A. desire is the root of both absolute and relative needs
B. absolute needs come from our sense of superiority
C. relative needs alone lead to insatiable demands
D. absolute needs are stronger than relative needs
48. What do we know about the couple in Paragraph 3?
A. They want to show their superiority.
B. They find specialty important to meals.
C. Their demands for food are not easily satisfied.
D. Their choice of dinner is related to ideas of quality.
49. What does the underlined word ―escalation‖ in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Understanding.
B. Increase
C. Difference
D. Study
50. The author of the passage argues that ______.
A. absolute needs have no limits
B. demands for quality are not insatiable
C. human desires influence ideas of quality
D. relative needs decide most of our spending

第二卷（非选择题共60分）
第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面的短文，并根据要求回答后面的问题（请注意问题后的词数要求）。

An American friend of mine who was high up in a big corporation had worked out a way of handling a flood of e-mails before most of us had even heard of the concept. If any information he was sent was vital enough, his lack of response
would ensure the sender rang him up, if the sender wasn’t important enough to have his private number, the communication couldn’t be that important, my friend is now even more senior in the same company so the strategy must work.
Almost every week now there seems to be a report suggesting that we are all being driven crazy by the bother of e-mail. If this is the case, it’s only because we haven’t developed an appropriate discrimination in dealing with it.
_________. Firstly, you junk nothing with an exclamation mark or a string of capital letters, or from any addres s you don’t recognize or feel confident about.
Secondly, e-mails don’t a ll have to be answered. Because e-mailing is so easy, there’s a tendency for correspondence to carry on for ever, but it is permissible to stop an endless discussion or to accept a point of information sent by a colleague without acknowledging it.
Thirdly, a reply e-mail doesn’t have to be the same length as the original. We all have e-mail pals who send long,chatty e-mail, which are nice to receive, but who then expect an equally long reply. The charm of e-mail can consist in the simple, incomplete sentence, totally regardless of the format of the letter sent by post. You are perfectly within the bounds of politeness in responding to a marathon e-mail with a better reply.
56．Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?
The possible existence of annoyance results from our inability to sort out e-mails
________________________________________________________________ ___
57．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with a proper sentence.(within 10 words )
________________________________________________________________ ___
58．What advice is given in the last paragraph? (within 10 words)
________________________________________________________________ ____
59．For what purpose does the author mention his American friend in Paragraph 1 ?(within 10 words)
________________________________________________________________ ____ 60．Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.
________________________________________________________________ ____

高三测评试卷答案
一、单项选择答案解析：
1.C本题是口语中习惯用法。

help yourself表示“请自便”。

考生只要理解了题意便能比较容易找出答案。

2.D although尽管，if如果，要不是，because因为，unless除非。

连词unless本身具有否定意义
3.C本题考查独立主格结构的相关知识。

独立主格结构在句中作条件状语，逻辑上应该是“如
果时间允许的话”。

4.A本题是对情态动词的考查。

句意表示肯定的推测用must，而it指问句中提到的who。

5.A本题是词语辨析题。

只要理解the return of the gold ring，考生就能知道1000 dollars是作为答谢，故用reward。

6.D本题是固定用法的考查。

It is+形容词+of／for+sb．+t0 do 是固定的句型。

但两个句型用法不同，如果形容词表示人的性质，如kind，nice等必须用of。

7.B形容词或副词的比较级有时可以使用在暗示比较句中。

暗示比较现象往往出现在带有but 的并列句里，或带有让步状语从句的主句里。

第一分句交代的是暗示某种程度的被比对象，在第二分句里以比较级的形式出现。

8.D英语中一些表示数字的名词的前面如果用了数词，这些名词必须是单数形式，如dozen（一打），score（二十）和head（头）等，例如：另外两打鸡蛋another two dozen eggs。

但是如果这些名词用来虚指某些可数名词时，这些名词呈复数形式，其后要加上介词of，例如：dozens of pencils（几十支铅笔）。

9.A whoever具备两个意思，其一是no matter who，引导让步状语从句；其二是anyone who，引导名词性从句，在本题中，whoever引导的是一个宾语从句，whoever在这个宾语从句中用作主语。

10.D.考查虚拟语气，表示与事实相反，本不能够却做到了的事。

三、阅读理解答案解析
A篇
这篇文章是简单的叙事文，是一篇关于亲情的文章。

笔触平实，情感动人。

故事发生在圣诞节前后，为了拯救出生不久的患病的孩子（作者的弟弟），全家都承受了巨大的心理压力。

文章用一个小孩简单的感受，通过对父母的语言描写和神态动作观察和描写，表达了亲情在这个并不富裕的家庭里的巨大感召力。

孩子的康复出院，实在是给这个家庭、给作者最好的圣诞礼物。

31.【解析】从第二段第一句“On September 11th ，1958，Mum gave birth to Richard.”，我们可以看出作者的弟弟诞生了。

这个弟弟并非是真正的doll洋娃娃，这点同学们千万要读懂。

32.【解析】ominous本意是“不吉利的；凶兆的”，这道题就要考查考生们的理解能力了。

作者当时还是个孩子，“For several days I h eard Mum and Dad whispering such words as ―hopeless‖,―pitiful‖,and ―dying‖”，在他幼小而懵懂的心里，这些词是有一定的惊吓作用的。

故选D。

33.【解析】excitement n.兴奋happiness n. 愉快sadness n.悲伤disappointment n.失望
34.【解析】容易选成D。

我相信这个家庭因为有亲情，他们内心肯定是快乐的，但是但从文章来看，这件事并不是快乐的。

同理，这个圣诞节虽然过得提心吊胆、愁云密布，但最终的结果却是快乐和令人欣慰的，故不选A。

B篇
这篇文章的作者对所谓的《100个必须旅游的地方》、《100本必须要读的书》等书是持抵制和鄙视态度的。

也正是因为如此，他出炉了《101件死前不要做的事》。

在这些事情中，和海豚一起游泳其实是对海豚生命的伤害和威胁；去看蒙娜丽莎的微笑，也会因为人满为患而索然无趣……但说到底，他是为了自己的新书打广告。

35.【解析】从此句判断而出：“Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨).”
36.【解析】从这两句可看出答案：“In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most.”，并且作者还开玩笑的说：如果蒙娜丽莎知道
了她现在的名声和卢浮宫里游人如织的情景，她早就不是微笑，而是大笑了。

37.【解析】从此句“Now you have a list to end all lists! Take
a look at the following two examples from the list of ―101 things not to do:”可知。

虽有借踩踏其他名单而抬高自己之嫌，但是这确是他打广告的目的——售书。

38．【解析】从“If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die. Visit /doc/16182126.html, and buy the book at a 20％discount.”可知，作者终极目的是要把读者拉到他的网站来买书，还提供八折购书。

C篇
这篇文章介绍了声名赫赫的苏格兰高地威廉堡。

相比于前两篇阅读，难度开始增加，部分字句开始文学化。

第一段提纲挈领简介威廉堡的乐趣所在：钓鱼和威士忌。

第二段就主要讲的威廉堡的渔趣，第三段则用笔墨讲的威廉堡的威士忌。

39.【解析】第一段是提纲挈领介绍苏格兰高地威廉堡的两大不可错过的事，而列举维多利亚女王的事例，完全是为了说明威廉堡是个好地方，而且，女王甚至还没有体会垂钓之乐，都写下了“I never saw a lovelier spot ”，可见该地确实是值得去的好地儿。

40.【解析】这道题考得很新颖，很少有高考题从写作手法入手来出题。

A：“描写”；B：“按照时间顺序书写”；C：“分析原因”；D：“作比较的写作手法”。

第二段写的是威廉堡的渔趣，是描写手法。

41.【解析】最后一段先描写该地的山势地形，然后落到了“水”上。

高山泉水（盖尔语里的“生命之水”）造就了举世闻名的苏格兰威士忌。

42.【解析】B和D选项让我在做的时候，斟酌了很久。

除了C项“探究苏格兰地理特征”和A项“介绍苏格兰风俗”错得比较明显，其他2个就要仔细比较了。

注意这两个单词：B项的“show the attraction”，D项的“describe”。

表面上作者确是在描写苏格兰生活的悠闲生活，并非只是描写生活在苏格兰的乐趣而已。

更深层次的目的是：他分别用了两段、浓墨重彩给游人介绍两个威廉堡最独特的吸引：渔趣和泉水酿的酒。

这两个事、物是如此独特，足以让威廉堡与众不同。

所以想及此，果断选了D，证明判断正确。

D篇
本文讲述了西红柿进入欧洲的“辛酸血泪史”，呵呵。

原本产于南美洲的西红柿（好像之前也叫狼果），因为和基督教道德里的伊甸园的禁果“沾上了关系”，所以根本无法进入欧洲。

直到勇敢的人儿站出来品尝，才逐渐为其正名。

注意几个词组：drag one’s feet 拖拖拉拉；蹒跚而行carry the day取胜
43.【解析】欧洲本就是基督教思想控制的地区，西红柿自打在南美发现开始，就悲惨地和禁果等同起来，不能进入欧洲，当然是宗教
的不接受。

44.【解析】drag one’s feet本意是拖拖拉拉，做事不利索，下划线部分不是指的缓慢下来，而是指的自始自终就没快过，故不选A。

B项错在“study”上，欧洲人当时做的并非是对西红柿研究，而是根本地拒绝。

D项的“get rid of…”没有道理。

45.【解析】根据原文最后一段文意可得
46.【解析】判断文章的主要意图，A、B项可以轻易排除。

C、D 两项我比较了很久，最终选择了C项，虽说选对了，我都感觉有点幸运的成分。

C项是说展现人们对于西红柿态度的变化，D项是说展现西红柿如何摆脱宗教影响的过程。

这两个选项让我至少想了三分钟。

后来我是这样想的：西红柿的一生虽然充满坎坷，而且宗教的确在它的血泪史里有着梦魇一般的作用，但是并非是唯一的影响因素。

而且第三段更是讲解了人们对于西红柿态度开始动摇，虽然“Cautious Europeans long ignored the tomato”，但也有著名的种植专家的女儿写下的怀疑，这些都是实实在在的人的态度的“变化”，并没有刻意去描写宗教的影响；在最后一段里，真正拯救和吃下西红柿的人还是个美国人，他用自己勇敢的行为，给那些前来观看他死亡的人以有
力一击。

而在这些故事的描写中，也和宗教就没有太大关系了。

最后我考虑的是：在“人”的态度变化和西红柿本身地位变化的“过程”选择上，我还是倾向于选择了内涵似乎更深层次的“人”的因素。

所以综上所述，宗教只是构成文章的“重要因素”和“起因”，并非贯穿文章的“线索”。

E篇
本次高考的最后一篇阅读，确有难度，是一篇议论文。

它从英国著名经济学家约翰·梅纳德·凯恩斯的一篇文章《我们后代的经济前景》入手，辩证地指出了他在文中提出的、关于消费需求的正确的和错误论点，指出了他的“人类对于优越生活的欲望是过度消费的唯一源泉”的错误。

作者列举事例，从结婚周年庆的夫妇吃大餐的原因分析，并列举了保时捷一个成功的营销战例，力图证明消费也是由真实的、对
生活质量的需求而决定的。

在经济学上，绝对需求，指的是包括吃、喝、睡、性等一系列与我们的动物属性相关的对于生存的要求；相对需求，则指衣住行、柴米油盐、烟酒糖茶…享受类等与心理更为相关的社群性需求。

47.【解析】同学们要注意，这个题考的不是作者的观点，而是凯恩斯的观点。

在约翰·梅纳德·凯恩斯看来，人类对于奢华生活的相对需求才是造成过度消费的罪魁祸首。

这也是作者极力批驳他的地方。

48.【解析】夫妻的周年庆，确是两人婚姻里值得庆贺的事情。

两人在这天选择用餐可能是与平时不同，因为具有纪念意义。

但“the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them”，想借此感受优越奢华生活的念头可能从来没有过。

所以相对需求还是和平时生活质量有关。

B选项仅停留于表面，非解释作者论证意图而得出的论点结论。

49.【解析】escalation的意思是“扩大；增加”，文章中表示“对生活质量需求的增加”。

50.【解析】按凯恩斯的观点，人类需求分为“绝对需求”和“相对需求”。

从文章第一段可知“He thought that although relative needs may indeed be insatiable (无止境的) , this is not true of absolute needs.”（词组be not true of…对…不适用、不符合…）凯恩斯认为相对需求是无止境的。

作者所做的就是辩驳他的论点，应是绝对需求无限，相对需求则和生活质量有关，是可控的、有条件性的和有限的，故选A。

四、补全对话答案解析
51. B 根据第一句话提供的语境可知这是顾客打电话到餐馆订餐或订桌，及应从A、B项中
选一个；再由下文―your food will be delivered in half an hour‖可知餐馆会将食物送货到
门所以可排除A。

故选B。

52. C 根据下句客人说的是要点的食物可知此处应是餐馆接电话的人问要点什么食物；故选。
