湖北省黄冈中学2014届高考模拟试卷 英语(一)2
湖北省黄冈中学2014届高考模拟试卷英语（一）2高考英语2014-02-25 2014()Many people will remember the flight of the space shuttle（航天飞机）challenger，in June，1983. The achievement of Sally Ride，America’s first woman astronaut to fly into space，made this flight especially memorable. Students from two Camden, New Jersey, high schools, however, are probably to remember Norma rather than Sally whenever they think about the flight.Norma didn’t travel alone. She brought about 20140 companions along with her. Norma was an ant，a queen ant who，with her subject，made up the first ant colony（群体）to travel into space. The ants were part of a science experiment designed by students to test the effects of weightlessness on insects.The equipment designed by the students for their colony functioned perfectly throughout the long space trip. The young scientists and their teachers were very sad to find that their insect astronauts had all died at some point before the container was returned to the school and opened. The problem didn’t occur in space，but on the ground after challenger had landed. The container remained in the desert for nearly a week before the ant colony was moved. The hot，dry desert air dried out the colony’s container and the ants died from lack of moisture（水分）.The project was termed success because it did provide useful information. Students will continue their efforts to pinpoint（精确找到）what went wrong. They will try to prevent the same difficulties from reoccurring on future missions. They don’t want to be discouraged either by the demise of the ants or by the $ 2014,000 shuttle fare they will have to pay to send the next colony of ants into space.51．What does the passage mainly tell us？A．Sally Ride，America’s first woman astronaut.B．How to keep ants alive in space.C．How to make equipment for insects in space.D．An experiment with ants in space.52．According to the passage, we know that the underlined word“demise”is another word for“_____”.A．death B．colonyC．insect D．moisture53．We don’t think the project was a failure. This is because_____.A．everything went as smoothly as expectedB．the students had pinpointed exactly the reasonC．something important had been learnedD．the students had succeeded in the experiment54．We can conclude that ants _____ on the next space trip.A．will have to be kept alive in a container full of waterB．will have to be sent into space with the first woman astronautC．should be put into a container where there is enough foodD．should be put into a container which is not too dryBRussian President Putin named Time magazine’s“Person of the Year”Russian President Vladimir Putin was named Time magazine’s“Person of the Year”on December 19th.2007 for strengthening stability（稳定）that made Russia a world power again.The magazine recognized Putin’s“extraordinary feat（技艺）of leadership in taking a country that was in a mess and bringing it stability，”said Richard Stengel，Time’s managing editor.The magazine noted that“Person of the Year”is not an honor or an endorsement（认可）but a recognition of leadership that shapes the world.Putin，who is 56 years old，is very popular in Russia，making a great effort to cause economy to come to life on revenue（收入）from oil and natural gas.Putin recently supported vice-PM Dmitry Medvedev’s presidential bid，and said he would accept Medvedev’s offer to serve as prime minister if Medvedev is elected on March 2.The Kremlin said Wednesday the Time recognition was seen there as an acknowledgement o f Putin’s role in helping Russia pull out of its social and economic troubles in the 1990s.Others considered for“Person of the Year”included Nobel Prize-winner Al Gore and author J.K. Rowling.This year’s choice was a return to the magazine’s traditio n of picking an individual rather than last year’s choice of“You”，which refers to anyone creating or using content on the World Wide Web.Putin is the fifth Russian（or Soviet）leader to be named Person of the Year：Gorbachev，Andropov，Khrushchev and Stalin，who was named twice.55．How did Putin try to make Russia a world power again？A．By performing arms race.B．By making war.C．By strengthening stability.D．By getting foreign help.56．Which of the following is Not True according to the passage？A．Russia used to be in a mess.B．Time always picks an individual to be the“Person of the Year”.C．Oil and natural gas caused Russia’s economy to come to life.D．Putin will leave office on March 2,2007.57．What does the underlined word“acknowledgement”mean？A．Praise.B．Support.C．Scold.D．Recognition.58．How many times have Russian leaders been named“Person of the Year”so far？A．Five times.B．Six times.C．Seven times.D．Eight times.。
高考英语单项选择精英系列练习题(11)及答案
2014高考英语单项选择精英系列练习题（11）及答案单项选择------专题探究专题探究：wh—ever专题详解：在近几年的高考中．频繁考查wh—ever引导的从句。
要做好此类题目．首先要清楚、wh-ever的用法。
ever常加在what．who,whom．when，where，which，how后面作后缀，使疑问词的语气有所加强，并含有让步含义，分别表示“无论什么”(whatever)、“无论谁(主格)”(whoever)、“无论谁(宾格)”(whomever)、“无论何时”(whe never)、“无论何地”(wherever)、“无论哪个”(whiehev—er)、“无论如何”(jlowever)。
上述关联词主要引导让步状语从句和名词性从句。
下面就从两个方面叙述其用法：1．whatever，whoever，whichever不仅可以引导让步状语从句，还可以引导名词性从句，其词义分别为“凡是……的东西”、“凡是……的人”、“无论哪个……人或物”。
eg：Whatever(No matter what)happens，we'll not change our plan．不管发生什么事，我们决不改变计划。
They succeeded in whatever they undertook．凡是他们承担的事情，他们都办成了。
Whoever(No matter who)you may be，you have no right to do such a thing．不论你是谁，你都无权做这样的事情。
Whoever is more or less advanced can pass this exam．凡是多少有点进步的人都能通过这次考试。
They gave whoever came to the meeting a pen．他们给了每个到会的人一支钢笔。
The quality will be the same whichever of them you choose．它们当中不论你选哪一个质量都一样。

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

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.

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.

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. 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.13、【来源】 2014年高考真题湖北卷（B篇）第13题2018~2019学年陕西西安未央区西安中学高二上学期期中第27~30题8分2019~2020学年贵州铜仁地区铜仁市铜仁第一中学高二上学期期中（D篇）第32~35题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 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. No menu here.There is no pool side 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-emergeagain 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.(1) 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 it(2) What is special about the food service at Huaplee Beach?A. No menu.B. Free food.C. Self service.D. Quick delivery.(3) 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 sand(4) 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.16、【来源】 2014年高考真题湖北卷第16题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 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。
