2015年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(重庆卷)二、完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）AWhen Alice was sixteen, I was the one who wanted to run away from home. It was 16 to see the changes coming over her. She skipped school, and refused to communicate. I tried being firm, but it didn…t 17 . I saw a dark future for my once sweet daughter.One school day Alice returned home very late. With a quarrel in view, I was surprised to see Alice was 18 .“I hope I did the right thing, Mom,”Alice said. I saw a cat, all bloody but alive. I 19 it to the vet‟s(宠物医院), and was asked to make payment 20 . As I couldn‟t reach anyone at the phone number on the cat‟s tag(标牌), I had to pay the bill.”In the following days, the owner still couldn‟t be 21 . Alice paid the vet to continue treatment. I grew 22 : what if the family had simply left the cat behind?A week went by. A woman called to speak to Alice.“She is at school,” I said.“You have a 23 daughter,” she said, apparently in tears.Her family had just returned from abroad, and got a (n) 24 from the vet. Their cat was recovering, thanks to Alice‟s 25 . “We can‟t wait to hug Cuddles again,” she sobbed.Upon her return home, Alice was filled with 26 at the news. So was I. I learned through another woman‟s eyes that my daughter was still a good person despite her 27 teenage years. Her warm heart would surely guide her in the right direction.16.

It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand righ t away and said,“Mrs.Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didn‟t finish the reading whe n the bell rang. I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn‟t get much education. But Louis didn‟t give up. Instead, h invented a reading system of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasn‟t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didn‟t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an“A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “ See what you can do when you keep trying?”36. The author didn‟t finish the reading in class because______.A.He was new to the classB.He was tried of literatureC.He had an attention disorderD.He wanted to take the task home37. What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?A.He had good sightB.He made a great invention.C.He gave up readingD.He learned a lot from school38. What was Mrs.Smith‟s attitude to the author at the end of the story?A.AngryB.ImpatientC.SympatheticD.Encouraging38. What is the main idea of the passage?A.The disabled should be treated with respect.B.A teacher can open up a new world to students.C.One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.D.Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.BIn ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics（策略）.One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food（垃圾食品）later in their trip. In department stores, the women‟s shoe section is generally next to the women‟s cosmetics(化妆品) section：while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later.Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers‟ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wine went up.When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.40. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?A. To save customers times.B. To show they are high quality foods.C. To help sell junk food.D. To sell them at discount prices.41. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?A. Opening the store early in the morning.B. Displaying British wines next to French ones.C. Inviting customers to play music.D. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.42. What is the California builder‟s story intended to prove?A. The house structure is a key factor customers consider.B. The more costly the house is, the better it sells.C. An ocean view is much to the customers‟ taste.D. A good first impression increases sales.43. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.B. To introduces how businesses have grown from the past.C. To report researches on customer behavior.D. To show dishonest business practices.Lake Lander ·2 hours agoToday, a man talked very loud on his phone on a train between Malvern and Reading,making many passengers upset. I wonder how he would react if I were to read mynewspaper out loud on the train. I have never had the courage to do it, though.Pak50 ··· ·57 minutes agoWhy not give it a try? Perhaps you should take lessons on a musical instrument. The late musician Dennis Brian is said to have asked a fellow train passenger to turn off his radio. When his request was refused, he took out his French horn(号) and started to practice.An gie O‟Edema ·42 minutes agoI don‟t see how musical instruments can help improve manners inpublic.

A report.There are many places to go on safari（观赏野生动物）in Africa, but riding a horse through the flooded waters of Botswana's Okavango Delta must rank as one of the world's most exciting wildlife journeys.Several safari camps operate as the base for this adventure, providing unique rides twice a day to explore deep into the delta. The camps have excellent horses, professional guides and lots of support workers. They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience.The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes full of water lilies, tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face. It is truly exciting. You are very likely to come across large wild animals, too. On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer to them.In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace. With golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink. Sedate though they are, rides at this time of day are still very impressive. As the sun's rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses, the romance of Africa comes to life.Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback Safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild.48. What does the underlined word "They" refer to?A. Flooded watersB. Wildlife journeyC. Safari campsD. Unique rides49. What does the author find most exciting about a horse safari?A. Seeing and feeling the real African life.B. Enjoying good food and wine at the camp.C. Hunting large animals just as our ancestors did.D. Being part of the scene and getting close to animals.50. What does the underlined word "sedate" probably mean?A. Wild and romanticB. Slow and peacefulC. Hurry and thirstyD. Active and excited51. The author introduced the riding experience in the OKavango Delta mainly by________.A. Following space orderB. Following time orderC. Making classificationsD. Giving examplesThe values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism(相对主义), are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries. Unique works of this kind are different from today‟s pop ular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because “the general principle s of taste are uniform(不变的) in human nature,”the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.52. According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativism?A. It introduces different cultural values.B. It explains the history of artistic works.C. It relates artistic values to local conditions.D. It excites the human mind throughout the world.53. In Paragraph 2, the artists are mentioned in order to show that .A. great works of art can go beyond national boundariesB. history gives art works special appeal to set them apartC. popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great artsD. great artists are skilled at combining various cultures54. According to Hume, some works of art can exist for centuries because .A. they are results of scientific studyB. they establish some general principles of artC. they are created by the wo rld‟s greatest artistsD. they appeal to unchanging features of human nature55. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Are Artistic Values Universal?B. Are Popular Arts Permanent?C. Is Human Nature Uniform?D. Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?七选五：How to Love Your ParentsEven if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life．You love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part, a source of who you are．Here are some ways to love your parents．16 A gentle “good morning” and “I love you” will warm a coldest heart．Remember that they brought you into this world．Without your parents, you might still wander at an unknown corner in an unknown world．Respect them more and cherish these moments．You can use these moments to learn from them , preparing yourself for when you‟re off on your own．It‟s OK to get angry but angry actions don‟t help you or your parents．Act calmly, cool off, write down your feelings, or talk to a friend．17Obey their requests．It will make your attitude better and earn you more respect from them．It may seem like you are going through hell(地狱）when you don‟t get what you want or you have to clean．However, you had better remember they keep a roof over your head when it‟s cold, raining, snowing, or too hot．Understand that parents are human beings and make mistakes．18 ．Since you can forgive your friends, why not forgive your parents?Keep company with them．Do things with your parents like watching TV, or go somewhere with them．19 listen to their old stories and learn from them．You will find they are your teachers in this way or another．Some people simply may not be able to love their parents．20 Seek help if you are being abused(虐待) in any way．Parents do not have a right to harm you．A．Forgiveness is the key．B．Tell them you love them every morning．C．Parents will in turn express their love to you．D．After this, share your feelings with your parents．E．Anyway, spend as much time with them as you can．F．Please remember parents are as important as friends．G．There can be realistic reasons for this, family violence for example．语法填空：Yesterday, as I approached the front door of our public library, a white-haired gentleman stepped back to hold the door for me.

I take the problem more and more seriously for the following reason. First of all, as it is known to people, pets make so much noise that trouble residents a lot. What‟s more, it is widely accepted that animal waste pollutes the environment, where makes people quite uncomfortable. Many owners like taking their pets to public place where they may frighten children or even bite people. The mostly important is that pets can spread some diseases and this has attracted much attention. Take all these factors into consideration, I sincerely hope that I can get help from you and expect the media do something for this.Yours truly,Wang Lin参考答案完形填空：16-20 BDCAD 21-25 BCCCD 26-30 DABAB 31-35 DCADB阅读理解：A: CBDC B: CDDA C: BCAA D: CDBB E: CADA七选五：BDAEG语法填空：61. constantly 62. an 63. helpful 64. using65. have accomplished 66. how 67. ourselves68.

When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs.Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said,“Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”She glanced down at me thr ough her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didn't finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn't get much education. But Louis didn't give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots（点）, which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasn't I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; Ijust needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didn't expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an“A” on it.

Modern businesses have been following his lead,with more tactics（策略）.One tactic involves where to display the goods. Foe example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food（垃圾食品）later in their trip. In department stores, section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section：while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over cosmetics they might want to try later.Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wine went up.When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decision in the first few second upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly.

Perhaps you should take lessons on a musical instrument. The late musician Dennis Brian is said to haveasked a fellow train passenger to turn off his radio. When his request was refused, he took out his Frenchhorn(号) and startedto practice.AngieO’Edema ·42 minutes agoI don’t see how musical instruments can help improve manners in public. Don’t do to others what you wouldn’t like to be done to yourself. Once, a passenger next to me talked out loud on his mobile phone.

The camps have excellent horses, professional guides and lots of support workers. They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience.The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes full of water lilies, tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face. It is truly exciting. You are very likely to come across large wild animals, too. On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer to them.In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace. With golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink. Sedate though they are, rides at this time of day are still very impressive. As the sun's rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses, the romance of Africa comes to life.Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback Safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild.(1)What does the underlined word "They" refer to?A.Flooded watersB.Wildlife journeyC.Safari campsD.Unique rides(2)What does the author find most exciting about a horse safari?A.Seeing and feeling the real African life.B.Enjoying good food and wine at the camp.C.Hunting large animals just as our ancestors did.D.Being part of the scene and getting close to animals.(3)What does the underlined word "sedate" probably mean?A.Wild and romanticB.Slow and peacefulC.Hurry and thirstyD.Active and excited(4)The author introduced the riding experience in the OKavango Delta mainly by________.A.Following space orderB.Following time orderC.Making classificationsD.Giving examples22.（2015·重庆）The values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism(相对主义), are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries, Unique works of this kind are different from today’s popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that beca use“the general principles of taste are uniform(不变的) in human nature,”the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery bya great scientist.(1)According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativism?A.It introduces different cultural values.B.It explains the history of artistic works.C.It relates artistic values to local conditions.D.It excites the human mind throughout the world.(2)In Paragraph 2, the artists are mentioned in order to show that _____A.great works of art can go beyond national boundariesB.history gives art works special appeal to set them apartC.popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great artsD.great artists are skilled at combining various cultures(3)According to Hume, some works of art can exist for centuries because_____A.they are results of scientific studyB.they establish some general principles of artC.they are created by the world’s greatest artistsD.they appeal to unchanging features of human nature(4)Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A.Are Artistic Values Universal?B.Are Popular Arts Permanent?C.Is Human Nature Uniform?D.Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?四.写作题（共两个写作任务，满分35分）23.（2015·重庆）写作请就以下话题，按要求用英文写作。

It is generally agreed that a good student must be able to concentrate for a reasonable time on a written text, yet most students are given very little help to practice this skill. Almost all classroom reading is 1 into minutes of reading and therefore it is no wonder that a number of students have 2 in this field.If you have a problem with 3 , you must first examine the conditions in which you work. Lighting can be a problem: too many readers put up with 4 lighting conditions. If this is a problem, and you don’t have a reading lamp, try a strong bulb (灯泡), read near a window in day time and always avoid reading in your own shadow. 5 the light should come from overhead or over your shoulder. Reflective surfaces should be avoided. You should also 6 excessive contrast (过度对比) caused by using a reading lamp as the only 7 of light as this will cause great tiredness and probably eye injury.A second reason for poor concentration is the 8 of motivation, that is, an absence of any 9 sense of purpose. If this is the cause, you will almost 10 be bored by the text.Be sure that you keep your 11 in mind during your reading so that you know you should also adopt some specific techniques — such as making notes from your reading — to aid your concentration.If you play the role of a 12 receiver of information, simply concentrating on absorbing everything you read, you will 13 that your mind is overloaded, confused by the material. Then you should take a more active approach. Enter into a 14 with the text, pausing to reflect on what you read, and 15 what you find. That will be good for reading and comprehension.

The camps have excellent horses, professional guides and lots of support workers. They have a reputation for providing a great riding experience.The morning ride, when the guides take you to beautiful, shallow lakes full of water lilies, tends to be more active. It is unlike any other riding experience. With rainbows forming in the splashing water around you and the sound of huge drops of water bouncing off your body and face. It is truly exciting. You are very likely to come across large wild animals, too. On horseback it is possible to get quite close to elephants, giraffes and many other animals. The sense of excitement and tension levels rise suddenly though, as does your heart rate, as you move closer to them.In the evening, rides are usually at a more relaxed and unhurried pace. With golden light streaming across the grassy delta and the animals coming out to eat and drink. Sedate though they are, rides at this time of day are still very impressive. As the sun's rays pass through the dust kicked up by the horses, the romance of Africa comes to life.Back at the camp you can kick off your boots and enjoy excellent food and wine. Looking back on your day, you will find it hard to deny that a horseback Safari is as close as you will ever come to answering the call of the wild.(1)What does the underlined word "They" refer to?A.Flooded watersB.Wildlife journeyC.Safari campsD.Unique rides(2)What does the author find most exciting about a horse safari?A.Seeing and feeling the real African life.B.Enjoying good food and wine at the camp.C.Hunting large animals just as our ancestors did.D.Being part of the scene and getting close to animals.(3)What does the underlined word "sedate" probably mean?A.Wild and romanticB.Slow and peacefulC.Hurry and thirstyD.Active and excited(4)The author introduced the riding experience in the OKavango Delta mainly by________.A.Following space orderB.Following time orderC.Making classificationsD.Giving examples22.（2015·重庆）The values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism(相对主义), are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries, Unique works of this kind are different from today’s popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that beca use“the general principles of taste are uniform(不变的) in human nature,”the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the long-lasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery bya great scientist.(1)According to the passage, what do we know about cultural relativism?A.It introduces different cultural values.B.It explains the history of artistic works.C.It relates artistic values to local conditions.D.It excites the human mind throughout the world.(2)In Paragraph 2, the artists are mentioned in order to show that _____A.great works of art can go beyond national boundariesB.history gives art works special appeal to set them apartC.popular arts are hardly distinguishable from great artsD.great artists are skilled at combining various cultures(3)According to Hume, some works of art can exist for centuries because_____A.they are results of scientific studyB.they establish some general principles of artC.they are created by the world’s greatest artistsD.they appeal to unchanging features of human nature(4)Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A.Are Artistic Values Universal?B.Are Popular Arts Permanent?C.Is Human Nature Uniform?D.Is Cultural Relativism Scientific?四.写作题（共两个写作任务，满分35分）23.（2015·重庆）写作请就以下话题，按要求用英文写作。
