2014年湖北高考英语试题完成句子解析
2014年湖北高考英语试题完成句子解析71. The community college has to cut down on staff _____________________. (save)为了省钱，那所社区学院只好裁员。
解析：本题划线部分是动词，句子中的主要动词“裁员”是谓语部分，该题考查的是非谓语动词。
根据“为了”表目的，故用不定式作。
答案是in order to save money / to save money/ so as to save money.72. So far the well-known journalist _____________________ more than 4,000interviews with famous people. (accumulate)迄今为止这位著名记者采访名人已累积达四千余人次。
解析：该题划线部分是动词“累积”，且本句是一个简单句，只有一个动词，考查的是谓语动词的时态。
根据汉语“已经”和时间状语so far（迄今为止），用现在完成时。
答案是has accumulated。
73. Sometimes ____________________ to use examples to explain abstract concepts. (helpful)有时候举例也许有助于解释抽象的概念。
解析：该题划线部分为动词“有助于”，且本句也是一个简单句，但括号中所给的词是形容词，根据英语句型应该使用It is + adj. + to do…，考查it作形式主语。
It代替的是真正的主语“to use examples to explain abstract concepts”。
“也许”英语用may / might。
因此，答案是it may/ might be helpful。
74. The police will reward ____________________ useful information to catch therobber. (provide)任何人提供有用信息帮助抓住劫匪，警方将予以奖励。

2014年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（湖北卷）完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）When our restaurant business failed, we headed north in a camping truck to Texas, hoping to have a “fresh start”.At the 31 of Palo Duro Canyon (峡谷) State Park, I 32 a job advertisement hiring park hosts. The position offered a 33 , permanent campsite in the park, and 34 , the hosts served as a link between the park’s guests and the rangers (护林人). It was the perfect solution: a rent-free place to reorganize our lives. We entered the park and I made an 35 for the following day.The park was 36 , so it took us some time to find an available site. That evening, as we finished our dinner, my wife saw two large skunks (臭鼬) walking toward our table. We 37 climbed onto the table and, for the next four hours, waited for them to 38 our camp.Having survived that night, we were 39 that everything else would be all right. The next day we met with the people who ran the park. They explained our 40 and gave us a beautiful campsite.That evening, 41 , we learned about the canyon 42 . They were strong and cold, rocking our little camping truck violently, and we lay 43 in the dark until the winds died away.44 the weeks that followed, we learned to survive in our truck and 45 the little money my wife 46 by substitute teaching.

I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster. Coming up against their behaviour could only make the job harder and their behaviour more extreme. I found something that worked, though.There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him. One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine. His appearance created an atmosphere of tension. He spent the entire session running around, hitting and kicking, and destroying property.I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co-worker told me that this boy’s teacher was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking, the boy ran in. I told my co-worker that I would take care of him.I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down and began making a rocket. I talked to him about it. We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation:“So what happened today?”It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didn’t let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact. I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start, which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize.51. The boy made trouble for his teacher because he ______.A. was accused of destroying propertyB. was told not to yell at other childrenC. was made to do things against his willD. was blamed for creating an air of tension52. Why didn’t the author do anything about the boy’s bad behavior at first?A. She didn’t want to make it worse.B. She didn’t mind the huge mess at all.C. She was tired of shouting and threats.D. She hadn’t thought of a coping strategy.53. The author managed to get the boy to talk to her by ______.A. playing games with himB. giving him a good suggestionC. describing his teacher’s feelingsD. avoiding making critical remarks54. Why did the boy have tears in his eyes in the end?A. He was sorry about his reputation.B. He was regretful about his behavior.C. He was fearful of the author’s warning.D. He was sad for the author’s misunderstanding.BLondon’s newest skyscraper (摩天大楼) is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build. At a height of almost 310 metres, it is the tallest building in Europe. The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London. However, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. When he began designing the Shard for London, Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire (尖顶). He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city. The sides of the building aren’t regular. So the building has an unusual shape. It looks like a very thin, sharp piece of broken glass. And that is how the building got the name: the Shard. Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition. The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts (桅杆) of the ships that were once on the river Thames.The Shard has 87 floors. At the top, there is an observatory. At the moment the building is empty, but eventually there will be a five-star hotel. There will also be top quality restaurants, apartments and offices.Before buildi ng work began, a lot of people didn’t want the Shard though the plans were approved. Now they are still unhappy about the Shard. Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York, but not in London. They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape. But that is the only thing. There is no decoration, only flat surfaces. The Egyptians did that 4,500 years ago. They also think the Shard is too big for London. It destroys the beauty of the city.Other critics don’t like what the Shard seems to represent. They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal. Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel. But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London. So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.The Shard now dominates the London skyline. It is not certain, however, that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city.55. London’s newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of ______.A. its costB. its sizeC. its shapeD. its height56. When he designed the Shard, Piano wanted it to ______.A. change London’s skylineB. inherit Lond on’s traditionC. imitate the Egyptian styleD. attract potential visitors57. The critics who refer to social division think the Shard ______.A. is only preferred by the richB. is intended for wealthy peopleC. is far away from the poor areaD. is popular only with Londoners58. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. The Shard: Cheers and ClapsB. The Shard: Work of a Great ArchitectC. The Shard: New Symbol of London?D. The Shard: A Change for the Better?CWorking with a group of baboons (狒狒) in the Namibian desert, Dr. Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoology, Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food hidden in a box. Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task, while others had to learn for themselves. To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were, Dr. Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.She found that personality had a major impact on learning. The braver baboons learnt, but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did. In effect, despite being made aware of what to do, they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did.The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones. The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not, even though they spent more time watching.This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in social learning in animals, something that has previously been ignored in studies on how animals learn to do things. The findings are significant because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive (认知的) tasks not because they aren’t clever enough to solve them, but because they are too shy or nervous to use the social information.The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning. If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they don’t associate with the knowledgeable individuals, or they are too shy to use the information once they have it, information may not travel between all group members, preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning.59. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The design of Dr. Carter’s research.B. The results of Dr. Carter’s research.C. The purpose of Dr. Carter’s research.D. The significance of Dr. Carter’s research.60. According to the research, which baboons are more likely to complete a new learning task?A. Those that have more experience.B. Those that can avoid potential risks.C. Those that like to work independently.D. Those that feel anxious about learning.61. Which best illustrates the “mismatch” mentioned in Paragraph 4?A. Some baboons are intelligent but slow in learning.B. Some baboons are shy but active in social activities.C. Some baboons observe others but don’t follow them.D. Some baboons perform new tasks but don’t concentrate.62. Dr. Carter’s findings indicate that our culture might be formed through ______.A. storing informationB. learning from each otherC. understanding different peopleD. travelling between social groupsYou’ve flown halfway around the world; you’ve sniffed out this place that nobody in Falongland or Thailand seems to have ever heard of; so what on earth is there to do here? You consider this question as you sink into an old wooden beach chair that holds you above the sand.It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee. By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out, it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland.Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin, about two hundred kilometres from Bangkok, down the west side of the Gulf of Thailand. Not many tourists find this place, and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along.There’s an apparent laziness that surrounds you here. It’s what this place offers, and it’s free of charge. The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down. You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest. You sit there and watch the sea.It’s early afternoon, so the cook comes out and asks what you’d like to eat this evening. Before long he’s rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered—every meal fresh and to order. No menu here.There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm, clear blue sea. There’s no street noise. The only sounds are the murmurs of nature.For now you just count your blessings (福祉), listing them in the sand with your toe (脚趾). You don’t have to worry about being late for work. You don’t have to do anything.The beach to your right stretches off to the horizon (地平线), slowly narrowing to nothingness only to re-emerge again on your left, now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you. Sand to your left and sand to your right; it’s unbroken, endless. No start, no end, just sand, sun, and peace. Step off it, and you re-enter the world of traffic, stress, work, and hurry.Normally you’re the type who can’t sit still for more than ten minutes, but you’re on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and, in the right frame of mind, it stretches all the way around the world.“How could it take me so long to find it?” you wonder.63. When the author first went to Huaplee Beach, ______.A. he found it unworthwhileB. he failed to sort himself outC. he became sensitive to smellD. he had difficulty in finding it64. What is special about the food service at Huaplee Beach?A. No menu.B. Free food.C. Self service.D. Quick delivery.65. In the author’s opinion, a tourist can enjoy Huaplee Beach most when he ______.A. sits in a beach chairB. forgets his daily routineC. plans a detailed scheduleD. draws pictures in the sand66. What does the author imply by his question at the end of the passage?A. He shouldn’t have counted his blessings.B. He should have understood the wonder of nature.C. He shouldn’t have spent so much time on the trip.D. He should have come to the place earlier.For most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains, jets, and even bicycles. Dr. Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who consider this a misunderstanding. Without the elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we know it would be impossible. In that sense, they argue, the elevator’s role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk, the car and the elevator have been locked in a “secret war” for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally (水平地), and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical (垂直的) columns.If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief, boring, and even awkward experience—one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothi ng in common, and an unpleasant awareness of the fact that we’re hanging from a cable in a long passage.In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his attention to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience. “After 150 years, we are still not used to it,” Bernard said. “We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mix ture of closeness and displeasure.” That mixture, according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.Today, as the world’s urban population explodes, and cities become more crowded, taller, and more crowded, America’s total number of elevators—900,000 at last count, according to Elevator World magazine’s “2012 Vertical Transportation Industry”—are a force that’s becoming more important than ever. And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.67. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The general view of elevators.B. The particular interests of experts.C. The desire for a remarkable machine.D. The enthusiasm for transport vehicles.68. The author’s purpose in mentioning cars is ______.A. to contrast their functions with elevators’B. to emphasize the importance of elevatorsC. to reveal their secret war against elevatorsD. to explain people’s preference for elevators69. According to Prof. Bernard, what has made the elevator ride different from other lifeexperiences?A. Vertical direction.B. Lack of excitement.C. Little physical space.D. Uncomfortable conditions.70. The author urges readers to consider ______.A. the exact number of elevator loversB. the serious future situation of elevatorsC. the role of elevators in city developmentD. the relationship between cars and elevators七选五：Parents and doctors have the same worry over especially low birthweight newborns. 71 A trend has therefore developed to make special formulas(配方)of extra nutrients and protein-rich foods for these tiny babies. Unfortunately, a British study has found that this practice could have negative long term effects, such as high blood pressure in adulthood.Between 1993 and 1995, Atul Singhal of the Institute of Child Health and his colleagues researched 299 full-term newborns, each of whom weighed very little for their age. The babies’moms had decided not to breastfeed(用母乳喂养).72 The rest received a formula with more nutrients and 28 percent more protein than the standard formula. The growth of all of these children was compared to that of 175 similarly low birthweight babies whose mothers had chosen to breastfeed their children for their first 9 months. 73 They found 83 babies from the normal-formula group,70 babies from the extra-formula group, and 95 babies from the breast fed group. 74 According to the latest data, children who had received the extra formula had significantly higher blood pressures than those in the other two groups.Seven human tests have indeed shown that when infants are overfed before being stopped breastfeeding, they have an increased possibility to become fat as youngsters.No matter how big a child is at birth, he or she will probably reach the same adult height no matter how quickly the baby grows. But reaching one’s adult size at a slow-to-moderate speed may have a lot of benefits, as Singhal says. 75A. Half of these children were given a normal infant(幼儿) formula for 9 monthsB. When they grow up, they might have high blood pressure.C. These babies have very little energy because they are so small.D. Six to eight years later, the researchers gave the children a series of measurements and tests.E. The results were quite surprising.F. Tiny babies will grow much slower if they are not specially fed.G. His advice to parents: Be patient. Don’t rush a child’s growth.语法填空：In my 18 years of life, there have been many things.

with children with disabilities．I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster．Coming up against their behaviour could only make the job harder and their behaviour more extreme．I found something that worked，though．There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him．One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine．His appearance created an atmosphere of tension．He spent the entire session running around，hitting and kicking，and destroying property．I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co﹣worker told me that this boy's teacher was in tears，and could not get control of the situation．As we were talking，the boy ran in．I told my co﹣worker that I would take care of him．I closed the door．He was full of energy，throwing things around and making a huge mess．But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me．He needed connection，and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it．So I sat back down and kept quiet．Then he slowed down and began making a rocket．I talked to him about it．We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation："So what happened today？"It was purely a question，no blame or anger in my tone．I believe that if I had criticized him，the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed．He told me that the teacher didn't let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked．He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her runaround and saw it as a game．I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset．This again was stated simply as a fact．I suggested that next time he had a session，he talk about what he hoped to do at the start，which might be easier for everyone．He agreed and was quiet for a moment．Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize．51．The boy made trouble for his teacher because he．A．was accused of destroying propertyB．was told not to yell at other childrenC．was made to do things against his willD．was blamed for creating an air of tension52．Why didn't the author do anything about the boy's bad behavior at first？A．She didn't want to make it worse．B．She didn't mind the huge mess at all．C．She was tired of shouting and threats．D．She hadn't thought of a coping strategy．53．The author managed to get the boy to talk to her by．A．playing games with himB．giving him a good suggestionC．describing his teacher's feelingsD．avoiding making critical remarks54．Why did the boy have tears in his eyes in the end？A．He was sorry about his reputation．B．He was regretful about his behavior．C．He was fearful of the author's warning．D．He was sad for the author's misunderstanding．55．（8分）London's newest skyscraper （摩天大楼）is called the Shard and it cost about 430 million pounds to build．At a height of almost 310metres，it is the tallestbuilding in Europe．The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London．However，not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better．The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano．When he began designing the Shard for London，Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire （尖顶）．He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city．The sides of the building aren't regular．So the building has an unusual shape．It looks like a very thin，sharp piece of broken glass．And that is how the building got the name：the Shard．Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition．The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts （桅杆）of the ships that were once on the river Thames．The Shard has 87floors．At the top，there is an observatory．At the moment the building is empty，but eventually there will be a five﹣star hotel．There will also be top quality restaurants，apartments and offices．Before building work began，a lot of people didn't want the Shard though the plans were approved．Now they are still unhappy about the Shard．Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York，but not in London．They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape．But that is the only thing．There is no decoration，only flat surfaces．The Egyptians did that 4，500years ago．They also think the Shard is too big for London．It destroys the beauty of the city．Other critics don't like what the Shard seems to represent．They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal．Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel．But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London．So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor．The Shard now dominates the London skyline．It is not certain，however，that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as a valuable addition to the city．55．London's newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of．A．its costB．its sizeC．its shapeD．its height56．When he designed the Shard，Piano wanted it to．A．change London's skylineB．inherit London's traditionC．imitate the Egyptian styleD．attract potential visitors57．The critics who refer to social division think the Shard．A．is only preferred by the richB．is intended for wealthy peopleC．is far away from the poor areaD．is popular only with Londoners58．Which would be the best title for the passage？A．The Shard：Cheers and ClapsB．The Shard：Work of a Great ArchitectC．The Shard：New Symbol of London？D．The Shard：A Change for the Better？59．（8分）Working with a group of baboons （狒狒）in the Namibian desert，Dr．Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoology，Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food hidden in a box．Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task，while others had to learn for themselves．To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were，Dr．Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake．She found that personality had a major impact on learning．The braver baboons learnt，but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did．Ineffect，despite being made aware of what to do，they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did．The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones．The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not，even though they spent more time watching．This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in social learning in animals，something that has previously been ignored in studies on how animals learn to do things．The findings are significant because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive （认知的）tasks not because they aren't clever enough to solve them，but because they are too shy or nervous to use the social information．The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning．If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they don't associate with the knowledgeable individuals，or they are too shy to use the information once they have it，information may not travel between all group members，preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning．59．What is the first paragraph mainly about？A．The design of Dr．Carter's research．B．The results of Dr．Carter's research．C．The purpose of Dr．Carter's research．D．The significance of Dr．Carter's research．60．According to the research，which baboons are more likely to complete a new learning task？A．Those that have more experience．B．Those that can avoid potential risks．C．Those that like to work independently．D．Those that feel anxious about learning．61．Which best illustrates the"mismatch"mentioned in Paragraph 4？A．Some baboons are intelligent but slow in learning．B．Some baboons are shy but active in social activities．C．Some baboons observe others but don't follow them．D．Some baboons perform new tasks but don't concentrate．62．Dr．Carter's findings indicate that our culture might be formed through．A．storing informationB．learning from each otherC．understanding different peopleD．travelling between social groups．63．（8分）You've flown halfway around the world；you've sniffed out this place that nobody in Falongland or Thailand seems to have ever heard of；so what on earth is there to do here？You consider this question as you sink into an old wooden beach chair that holds you above the sand．It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee．By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out，it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland．Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin，about two hundred kilometres from Bangkok，down the west side of the Gulf of Thailand．Not many tourists find this place，and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along．There's an apparent laziness that surrounds you here．It's what this place offers，and it's free of charge．The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down．You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest．You sit there and watch the sea．It's early afternoon，so the cook comes out and asks what you'd like to eat this evening．Before long he's rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered﹣every meal fresh and to order．No menu here．There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm，clear blue sea．There's no street noise．The only sounds are the murmurs of nature．For now you just count your blessings （福祉），listing them in the sand with your toe（脚趾）．You don't have to worry about being late for work．You don't have to do anything．The beach to your right stretches off to the horizon （地平线），slowly narrowing to nothingness only to re﹣emerge again on your left，now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you．Sand to your left and sand to your right；it's unbroken，endless．No start，no end，just sand，sun，and peace．Step off it，and you re﹣enter the world of traffic，stress，work，and hurry．Normally you're the type who can't sit still for more than ten minutes，but you're on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and，in the right frame of mind，it stretches all the way around the world．"How could it take me so long to find it？"you wonder．63．When the author first went to Huaplee Beach，．A．he found it unworthwhileB．he failed to sort himself outC．he became sensitive to smellD．he had difficulty in finding it64．What is special about the food service at Huaplee Beach？A．No menu．B．Free food．C．Self service．D．Quick delivery．65．In the author's opinion，a tourist can enjoy Huaplee Beach most when he．A．sits in a beach chairB．forgets his daily routineC．plans a detailed scheduleD．draws pictures in the sand66．What does the author imply by his question at the end of the passage？A．He shouldn't have counted his blessings．B．He should have understood the wonder of nature．C．He shouldn't have spent so much time on the trip．D．He should have come to the place earlier．67．（8分）For most city people，the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains，jets，and even bicycles．Dr．Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who consider a misunderstanding．Without the elevator，they point out，there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings，and city life as we know it would be impossible．In that sense，they argue，the elevator's role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars．In fact，according to Wilk，the car and the elevator have been locked in a"secret war"for over a century，with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally （水平地），and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical （垂直的）columns．If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators，it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief，boring，and even awkward experience﹣one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common，and an unpleasant awareness of the fact that we're hanging from a cable in a long passage．In a new book，Lifted，German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his attention to this experience，studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience．"After 150years，we are still not used to it，"Bernard said．"We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure．"That mixture，according to Bernard，sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about our lives．Today，as the world's urban population explodes，and cities become more crowded，taller，and more crowded，America's total number of elevators﹣900，000at last count，according to Elevator World magazine's"2012Vertical Transportation Industry"﹣are a force that's becoming more important than ever．And for the people who really，really love them，it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are．67．What does the underlined word"this"in Paragraph 1refer to？A．The general view of elevators．B．The particular interests of experts．C．The desire for a remarkable machine．D．The enthusiasm for transport vehicles．68．The author's purpose in mentioning cars is．A．to contrast their functions with elevators'B．to emphasize the importance of elevatorsC．to reveal their secret war against elevatorsD．to explain people's preference for elevators69．According to Prof．Bernard，what has made the elevator ride different from other life experiences？A．Vertical direction．B．Lack of excitement．C．Little physical space．D．Uncomfortable conditions．70．The author urges readers to consider．A．the exact number of elevator loversB．the serious future situation of elevatorsC．the role of elevators in city developmentD．the relationship between cars and elevators．第四部分书面表达第一节完成句子（共11小题；每小题2分，满分50分）阅读下列各小题，根据汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子，并将答案写在答题卡上的相应题号后．71．（2分）The community college has to cut down on staff．（save）为了省钱，那所社区学院只好裁员．72．（2分）So far the well﹣known

Regardless of his 2 , he greeted us in a friendly way.Once inside, my daughters whispered, “Mom, he 3 . 〞After we ordered our lunch, I explained, telling the kids to look 4 the dirt. We then watched other customers approach the restaurant but many 5 him. Seeing this rudeness truly upset me. The day I became a mother, I had resolved to set a good 6 to my children. Yet sometimes when things didn’t go right, being a good example was 7 . When our meal arrived, I realized I had left the car-sick pills in the truck. With the windiest trip ahead, the kids needed them, so I 8 myself from the meal and went to get them.Just then, the“doorman〞was opening the door for a couple. They rushed past him without even acknowledging his 9 . Letting them in first, I said a loud“th ank you〞to him as I 10 .When I returned, we talked a bit.

The kids looked 13 as we had already eaten, but when I said the order was for the“doorman〞, they smiled. When it was time to 14 our trip, I noticed the“doorman〞enjoying his meal. Upon seeing me, he stood up and thanked me heartily. He then 15 his hand for a handshake and I gratefully accepted. I suddenly noticed the tears in his eyes—tears of 16 . What happened next drew great astonishment: I gave the“doorman〞a 17 . He pulled away, with tears 18 down his face.Back in truck, I fell into deep thought.

并在答题卡上将该选项涂⿊.AArriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, zxxk Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one. zxxkLate in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶)that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.1. What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A. Go shoppingB. Find a houseC. Join his familyD. Take his family2. The girl’s parents got Rashid’s phone number from_______.A. a friend of his familyB. a Sydney policemanC. a letter in his papersD. a stranger in Sydney3.

Living in a a New Country.C. Turning Trash to Treasure.D. In Search of New Friends. zxxkBSince the first Earth Day in 1970,American have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment . “We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement .Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many ,many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first. According to US government reports , emissions (排放)from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 tons .The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9 .Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with , the world is a safer and healthier place .A kind of “Green thinking ” has become part of practices .Great improvement has been achieved .In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs ,; today in 1995 there are about6,600 .Advanced lights ,motors , and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution .Twenty –five years ago , there were hardly any education programs for environment .Today , it’s hard to find a public school , university , or law school that does not have such a kind of program .” Until we do that , nothing else will change! ” say Bruce Anderson .5 According to Anderson , before 1970, Americans had little idea about ___A. the social movementB. recycling techniqueszxxkC. environmental problemsD. the importance of Earth Day6 Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A. The grass –roots levelB. The business circleC. Government officialsD. University professors7. What have \Americans achieved in environmental protection ?A. They have cut car emissions to the lowestB. They have settled their environmental problemsC. They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.D. They have reduced pollution through effective measures .8. What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph ?A. EducationD. CO reductionCOne of the latest trend(趋势) in American Childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au Pair in Stamford, for example, has got increasing numbers of request for Chinese au pairs from aero to around 4,000 since 2004. And that’s true all across the country.“I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age” Joseph Stocke, the managing director of s company, says of his 2-year old son. “I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future,” After only six months of being cared by 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says. zxxkLi Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China. She didn’t want her children to miss out on their roots.” Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture.” she says.“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom,” says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of Children.” But parents must understand that just one year with au pair is unlikely to produce wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”The popularity if au pairs from china has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.9.What does that term” au pair” in the text mean?A. A mother raising her children on her ownB. A child learning a foreign language at homeC. A professor in language education of childrenD. A young foreign woman taking care of children.10. Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them ______.A. to live in China some dayB. to speak the language at homeC. to catch up wit other childrenD. to learn about the Chinese culture11. What can we infer from the text?A. Learning Chinese is becoming popular In America,B. Educated woman do better in looking after childrenC. Chinese au pairs need to improve their English Skills.D. Children can learn a foreign language well in six months. zxxkDMetro Pocket GuideMetrorail(地铁)Each passenger needs a farecard to enter and go out.

I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a ing up against their behavior could only make the job harder and their behavior more extreme. I found something that worked, though.There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him. One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine. His appearance created an atmosphere of tension. He spent the entire session running around, hitting and kicking, and destroying property.I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co-worker told me that this boy's teacher was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking, the boy ran in. I told my co-worker that I would take care of him.I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this wasthe only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down and began making a rocket. I talked to him about it. We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation: "So what happened today? "It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didn't let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact. I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start, which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize.(1) The boy made trouble for his teacher because he.A. was accused of destroying propertyB. was told not to yell at other childrenC. was made to do things against his willD. was blamed for creating an air of tension(2) Why didn't the author do anything about the boy's bad behavior at first?A. She didn't want to make it worse.B. She didn't mind the huge mess at all.C. She was tired of shouting and threats.D. She hadn't thought of a coping strategy.(3) The author managed to get the boy to talk to her by.A. playing games with himB. giving him a good suggestionC. describing his teacher's feelingsD. avoiding making critical remarks(4) Why did the boy have tears in his eyes in the end?A.

At a height of almost 310 meters, it is the tallest building in Europe. The Shard has completely changed the appearance of London.However, not everyone thinks that it is a change for the better.The Shard was designed by the famous Italian architect Renzo Piano. When he began designing the Shard for London, Piano wanted a very tall building that looked like a spire （尖顶）. He wanted the glass surfaces to reflect the sky and the city.The sides of the building aren't regular. So the building has anunusual shape.It looks like a very thin, sharp piece of broken glass. And that is how the building got the name: the Shard. Piano says that the spire shape of the Shard is part of a great London tradition. The shape reminds him of the spires of the churches of London or the tall masts （桅杆） of the ships that were once on the river Thames.The Shard has 87 floors. At the top, there is an observatory. At the moment the building is empty, but eventually there will be a five-star hotel. There will also be top quality restaurants, apartments and offices.Before building work began, a lot of people didn't want the Shard though the plans were approved.Now they are still unhappy about the Shard. Some critics say that such a tall skyscraper might be good in a city like New York, but not in London.They say that the best thing about the Shard is its spire shape. But that is the only thing. There is no decoration, only flat surfaces. The Egyptians did that 4, 500 years ago. They also think the Shard is too big for London.It destroys the beauty of the city.Other critics don't like what the Shard seems to represent. They say that the Shard shows how London is becoming more unequal. Only very rich people can afford to buy the expensive private apartments and stay in the hotel. But the people who live near the Shard are among the poorest in London.So the Shard seems a symbol of the division in society between the very rich and the poor.The Shard now dominates the London skyline. It is not certain, however, that ordinary London citizens will ever accept it as avaluable addition to the city.(1) London's newest skyscraper is called the Shard because of.A. its costB. its sizeC. its shapeD. its height(2) When he designed the Shard, Piano wanted it to.A. change London's skylineB. inherit London's traditionC. imitate the Egyptian styleD. attract potential visitors(3) The critics who refer to social division think the Shard.A. is only preferred by the richB. is intended for wealthy peopleC. is far away from the poor areaD. is popular only with Londoners(4) Which would be the best title for the passage?A. The Shard: Cheers and ClapsB. The Shard: Work of a Great ArchitectC. The Shard: NewSymbol of London?D. The Shard: A Change for the Better?14、【来源】 2014年高考真题湖北卷（C篇）第14题Working with a group of baboons （狒狒） in the Namibian desert, Dr. Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoology, Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food hidden in a box. Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task, while others had to learn for themselves. To work out how brave or anxious the baboons were, Dr. Carter presented them either with a novel food or a threat in the form of a model of a poisonous snake.She found that personality had a major impact on learning. The braver baboons learnt, but the shy ones did not learn the task although they watched the baboon perform the task of finding the novel food just as long as the brave ones did. In effect, despite being made aware of what to do, they were still too shy to do what the experienced baboon did.The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm ones. The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not, even though they spent more time watching.This mismatch between collecting social information and using it shows that personality plays a key role in social learning in animals, something that has previously been ignored in studies on how animals learn to do things. The findings are significant because they suggest that animals may perform poorly in cognitive （认知的） tasks not because they aren't clever enough to solve them, but becausethey are too shy or nervous to use the social information.The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning. If some individuals are unable to get information from others because they don't associate with the knowledgeable individuals, or they are too shy to use the information once they have it, information may not travel between all group members, preventing the formation of a culture based on social learning.(1) What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The design of Dr. Carter's research.B. The results of Dr. Carter's research.C. The purpose of Dr. Carter's research.D. The significance of Dr. Carter's research.(2) According to the research, which baboons are more likely to complete a new learning task?A. Those that have more experience.B. Those that can avoid potential risks.C. Those that like to work independently.D. Those that feel anxious about learning.(3) Which best illustrates the "mismatch" mentioned in Paragraph 4?A. Some baboons are intelligent but slow in learning.B. Some baboons are shy but active in social activities.C. Some baboons observe others but don’t follow them.D. Some baboons perform new tasks but don’t concentrate.(4) Dr. Carter's findings indicate that our culture might be formed through.A. storing informationB. learning from each otherC. understanding different peopleD. travelling between social groups15、【来源】 2014年高考真题湖北卷（D篇）第15题You've flown halfway around the world; you've sniffed out this place that nobody in Falongland orThailand seems to have ever heard of; so what on earth is there to do here? You consider this question as you sink into an old wooden beach chair that holds you above the sand.It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee. By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out, it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland.Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin, about two hundred kilometers from Bangkok, down the west side of the Gulf of Thailand.Not many tourists find this place, and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along.There's an apparent laziness that surrounds you here.It's what this place offers, and it's free of charge. The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down. You settle into your beach chair inpreparation for a long rest. You sit there and watch the sea.It's early afternoon, so the cook comes out and asks what you'd like to eat this evening. Before long he's rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered—every meal fresh and to order.

Dr. Christopher Wilk is a member of a small group of elevator experts who consider this a misunderstanding. Without the elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as we know it would be impossible. In that sense, they argue, the elevator's role in American history has been no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk, the car and the elevator have been locked in a "secret war" for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to spread horizontally （水平地）, and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering vertical （垂直的）columns.If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends to be such a brief, boring, and even awkward experience—one that can involve unexpectedly meeting people with whom we have nothing in common, and an unpleasant awareness of the fact that we're hanging from a cable in a long passage.In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard directed all his attention to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable experience. "After 150 years, we are still not used to it, " Bernard said. "We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure." That mixture, according to Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in as we go about our lives.Today, as the world's urban population explodes, and cities become more crowded, taller, and more crowded, America's total number of elevators—900, 000 at last count, according to Elevator World magazine's "2012 Vertical Transportation Industry" —are a force that's becoming more important than ever. And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.(1) What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. The general view of elevators.B. The particular interests of experts.C. The desire for a remarkable machine.D. The enthusiasm for transport vehicles.(2) The author’s purpose in mentioning cars is ______.A. to contrast the irfunctions with elevatorsB. to emphasize the importance of elevatorsC. to reveal their secret war against elevatorsD. to explain people’s preference for eleva tors(3) According to Prof. Bernard, what has made the elevator ride different from other life experiences?A. Vertical direction.B. Lack of excitement.C. Little physical space.D. Uncomfortable conditions.(4) The author urges readers to consider ______.A. the exact number of elevator loversB. the serious future situation of elevatorsC. the role of elevators incity developmentD. the relationship between cars and elevators四、完成句子17、【来源】 2014年高考真题湖北卷第17题阅读下列各小题，根据汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子，并将答案写在答题卡上的相应题号后。

2014年湖北省高考英语试题完成句子详细解析71. The community college has to cut down on staff _________________. (save)
为了省钱，那所社区学院只好裁员。
解析：本题划线部分是动词，句子中的主要动词“裁员”是谓语部分，该题考查的是非谓语动词。
根据“为了”表目的，故用不定式作。
答案是in order to save money / to save money/ so as to save money.
72. So far the well-known journalist _____________more than 4,000 interviews
with famous people. (accumulate)
迄今为止这位著名记者采访名人已累积达四千余人次。
解析：该题划线部分是动词“累积”，且本句是一个简单句，只有一个动词，考查的是谓语动词的时态。
根据汉语“已经”和时间状语so far（迄今为止），用现在完成时。
答案是has accumulated。
73. Sometimes ___________ to use examples to explain abstract concepts. (helpful)
有时候举例也许有助于解释抽象的概念。
解析：该题划线部分为动词“有助于”，且本句也是一个简单句，但括号中所给的词是形容词，根据英语句型应该使用It is + adj. + to do…，考查it作形式主语。
It代替的是真正的主语“to use examples to explain abstract concepts”。
“也许”英语用may / might。
因此，答案是it may/ might be helpful。
74. The police will reward _____useful information to catch the robber. (provide)
任何人提供有用信息帮助抓住劫匪，警方将予以奖励。
解析：该题句子的主谓部分是The police will reward，划线部分为句子（宾语部分没划在内），作reward的宾语，故本题考查名词性从句。
引导从句的连接词用whoever“任何人”，动词的时态用一般现在时获现在完成时。
答案是whoever provides / has provided。
75. He’s the only student in the class _________________ to take part in the Model
United Nations conference. (select)
他是班上唯一被选上去参加模拟联合国大会的同学。
解析：本题划线部分是动词，但考查的是限制性定语从句。
英语句中修饰先行词的有only，用关系代词that引导，根据句意应用现在完成时和被动语态，从句中谓语动词应与先行词student保持一致，用第三人称单数形式。
答案是that has been selected。
76. No other technological development has had _____as the growth of electronics
on so many aspects of social, economic, and cultural development. (impact)
没有哪像技术的发展像电子技术这样，对我们的社会、经济以及文化等诸多方面产生过如此重要的影响。
解析：划线部分是名词，其重点是形容词。
根据句意，本题考查的是同级比较（空格后的as），应用as…as结构。
同时应注意还要加上冠词，因而还有一个重要的结构，那就是冠词的位置。
此结构为as + adj. + a / an + n. + as。
答案是as great/important/significant an impact。
77. You _________the meeting to tell me that; you could have come to tell me
afterwards. (interrupt)
你不该打断会议来告诉我那件事，你本可以会后告诉我。
解析：本题划线部分是动词，根据汉语意思“不该打断”考查的是情态动词表。
该句汉语实际上表达的是“做了本不应该做的事情”，因此用shouldn’t / oughtn’t have done结构来表达，而不是“现在或将来不该做”。
答案：shouldn’t have interrupted / oughtn’t to have interrupted。
78. This novel was once the ______book in high schools in the United States. (read)
这部小说曾经是美国高中阅读最广泛的书。
解析：本题划线部分是动词，根据汉语“阅读最广泛的书”，可知考查的是定语，且放在被修饰的book前，是前置定语，因此用非谓语动词完成；书被广泛阅读，故用过去分词来修饰book。
答案：most widely read。
79. The Public Square is an eye-catching sight of the city. __________many stone
sculptures of famous historical figures. (stand)
大众广场是这个城市引人注目的景点，许多历史名人的石雕像矗立在那儿。
解析：本题划线部分是动词，根据英语句子结构实际上应完成的是一个句子。
there放在句首时句子要进行完全倒装。
答案：There stand。
80. It was several minutes _______________ what he was saying. (take)
过了好几分钟，我才理解他说的是什么。
解析：本题划线部分是句子，英语句子前面部分是一个句子，所以本题考查的是时间状语从句。
根据汉语句中的“才”的提示应使用before来引导从句。
答案：before I took in / before I could take in。
（此题易被看作成英语的强调句型）。
