2015年广东高考英语试题和答案详解
DIt was once common to regard Britain as a society with class distinction. Each class had unique characteristics.In recent years, many writers have begun to speak the 'decline of class' and 'classless society' in Britain. And in modern day consumer society everyone is considered to be middle class.But pronouncing the death of class is too early. A recent wide-ranging society of public opinion found 90 percent of people still placing themselves in particular class; 73 percent agreed that class was still a vital part of British society; and 52 percent thought there were still sharp class differences. Thus, class may not be culturally and politically obvious, yet it remains an important part of British society. Britain seems to have a love of stratification.One unchanging aspect of a British person's class position is accent. The words a person speaks tell her or his class. A study of British accents during 1970s found that a voice sounding like a BBC newsreader was viewed as the most attractive voice, Most people said this accent sounded 'educated' and 'soft'. The accents placed at the bottom in this study, on the other hand, were regional（地区的）city accents. These accents were seen as 'common' and 'ugly'. However, a similar study of British accents in the US turned these results upside down and placed some regional accents as the most attractive and BBC English as the least. This suggests that British attitudes towards accent have deep roots and are based on class prejudice.In recent years, however, young upper middle-class people in London, have begun to adopt some regional accents, in order to hide their class origins. This is an indication of class becoming unnoticed. However, the 1995 pop song 'Common People' puts forward the view that though a middle-class person may 'want to live like common people' they can never appreciate the reality of a working-class life.41. A recent study of public opinion shows that in modern Britain ________.A. it is time to end class distinctionB. most people belong to middle classC. it is easy to recognize a person’s classD. people regard themselves socially different42. The word stratification in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.A. varietyB. authorityC. divisionD. qualification43. The study in the US showed that BBC English was regarded as _________.A. regionalB. educatedC. prejudicedD. unattractive44. British attitudes towards accent _________.A. have a long traditionB. are based on regional statusC. are shared by the AmericansD. have changed in recent years45. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The middle class is expandingB. A person’s accent reflects his classC. Class is a key part of British societyD. Each class has unique characteristics.信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）请阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

What is the best title for this passage?A．E-bike Sales to Shift into Mainstream in 20l3 B．E-bikes，the Future Way of TransportationC．E-bikes Vs Gas Vehicles D．E-bikes，Actors’ First ChoiceBMy grandfather had a small farm where he raised beef and so me grain for feed. He also worked diligently as a factory labor er. He was a good neighbor and well-respected for honoring his word. When harvest time came, he ’d piece together his old corn picker and oil it up for the seaso n. All his life he worked hard, helped others, and you could count on him to keep his promises.He had promised to harvest corn on a friend’s farm, but after harvesting his own corn, Grandpa’s little corn picker coughed and quit. It would be out of commission until a particular part c ould be ordered, but that would take far too long to help this y ear. The factory where Grandpa worked began to require over time. In order to keep his job there he had to leave the farm b efore dawn and get home until well after sunset.One autumn night, while harvest time was running out, he and his wife sat at the kitchen table and trying to figure a way out of their dilemma (进退两难的境地).“There’s nothing you can do,” said my grandma. “You’ll just h ave to tell him that you can’t help with the corn this year.”“Well that just doesn’t sit well with me,” said my grandpa. “My friend is depending on me. I can’t exactly let my neighbor’s ha rvest rot in the field, can I?”“When do you think you’d have time to do it?” she asked. “Wit h the overtime you’ve been working you’d be up all night.”“I know of one night that I could do it!” he said, running to the bookshelf. He grabbed the Farmer’s Almanac(历书) and started flipping through the pages. “Aha!There’s still one more full moon in October.” They say it’s called the harve st moon because it gives farmers more light and more time tocollect their crops.And so days later, after a long shift at the factory, my grandpa made his way to the field where my grandma met him in the t ruck with dinner. It was cold but clear, and the moon was brilli ant. He worked through the night to keep his word.I know this story well, so sometimes, when I attempted to cut corners or to put off responsibilities, I think of my grandfather with his scythe (大镰刀) cutting wide arcs of corn in the light of the harvest moon.35. Which was the main trouble my grandfather had in helping his friend?A. His wife objected to his helping his friend.B. His corn pic ker ran out of oil.C. His corn picker broke down.D. The weather was not favorable.36. Which of the following can NOT be concluded from the pa ssage?A. My grandfather cared about his work in the factory very mu ch.B. My grandmother supported my grandfather’s decision to ha rvest the friend’s corn at the full moon night.C. My grandfather must have stayed up all night to help his friend harvest.D. My grandfather didn’t manage to help his friend in time.37. What kind of quality in the grandfather had the most influe nce on the writer?A. A person should be responsible.B. A person should be generous.C. A person should be selfless.D. A person should be d iligent.38. The passage mainly intends to tell us that .A. helping others is helping ourselvesB. we should be gene rous with our timeC. keep your promise whatever happensD. we should be wel l-prepared for what hasn’t happenedCSunday is more like Monday than it used to be. Places of busi ness that used to keep daytime “business hours” are now ope n late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day a nd the day of the week have become irrelevant. A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong an d precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work , school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exi st, but they seem not clear.The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does. It used to keep the school s open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. An d whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible,” is often debated. H ow should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficult y is that we rarely recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to atte nd school a certain number of hours, days and years but unle ss we meet the truant officer (学监) , we may well think that we should go to school due to soc ial custom and parents’ demand rather than to the law. As ad ults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working,” but l ess familiar with the fact that what makes up “overtime” is a m atter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to star t daylight-saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the l aw in action?” As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has gr eat influence on how to organize and use time: compulsory ed ucation law, overtime law, and daylight-saving law as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, bei ng late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and rate.39. By saying “Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be,” the writer means that __________.A. work time is equal to rest timeB. many people have a d ay off on Monday,C. it is hard for people to decide when to restD. the line betw een work time and rest time is unclear40. The author raises the questions in Paragraph 2 to introduce the fact that people__________.A. fail to make full use of their timeB. enjoy working overti me for extra payC. are unaware of the law of timeD. welcome flexible wor king hours41. According to the passage, most children tend to believe th at they go to school because they_____.A. need to acquire knowledgeB. have to obey their pare ntsC. need to find companionsD. have to observe the law42 What is the main idea of the passage?A. Our life is governed by the law of time.B. How to organiz e time is not worth debating.C. New ways of using time change our society.D. Our time sc hedule is decided by social customsDWhy are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods ? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the ri sk of acid accumulation in your body.Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently tha n cooked and refined foods. When we cook foods, we destroy the natural enzymes that are part of the food in its raw form. These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food. When we consume food without these natural enzymes , our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too man y nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream. In both instan ces, the result is obesity. When too many nutrients are absorb ed at once, the body grows fat. Improperly digested food mov es slowly through the digestive tract (消化道), where it becomes increasingly acidic. To protect its vital o rgans from this acidic waste, the body changes the acid into f at and stores it safely away from the organs.Processed foods contain chemical elements, which might con fuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat; as a result, people often overeat. Processed food s also upset the digestive cycle. The body will either identify t hese foods as allergens and then store them safely away fro m the organs as fat, or the remains of undigested food will be come acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste, which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vit al oxygen and nutrients heading for the body’s cells. The body ’s metabolism (新陈代谢) becomes inactive, and the result is weight gain and obesit y.The accumulation of acid in the digestive tract makes digestio n increasingly inefficient. When that happens, even healthy fo ods can become acidic and the food allergies will become mo re common.To stop this terrible circle in its tracks, people need to consum e food and supplements that will neutralize (中和) the acid already accumulated in body. Eating the right typ es of raw and whole foods can help. It’s also important to rest ore your enzyme balance. You need to identify and avoid the f oods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods th at increase enzyme production. If you truly want to change an d help your body heal itself, you need to take an active appro ach.43. What is the main purpose of this passage?A. To advocate eating more raw and whole foods.B. To tell the differences between raw and processed foods.C. To inform people of the harm of processed foods.D. To warn people of the problem of obesity.44. It can be inferred from Para. 2 that __________.A. it is essential for people to protect their vital organsB. foods with natural enzymes help people keep fitC. we’d better be cautious about raw and whole foodsD. giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle45. What does “it” refer to in Paragraph 2?A. The body.B. The acidC. The acid wasteD. fat46. What is likely to be talked about following the last paragra ph?A. Active approaches to avoid acid.B. Different causes of acid accumulation.C. Correct ways to cook raw foods.D. Suitable types of raw and whole foods.七选五Going on holiday should be an exciting moment. 47 _______Here are some suggestions as to how you can stop that from being the case and make the whole experience a little more e njoyable.Choose Wisely The first way to make sure you have a comfor table flight is of course to choose your ticket carefully48_____ __ Many flights let you book your seat ahead of time so you’d better check in early or look online early and make sure you g et it with the most space for your legs.Relax 49 _______ People just can’t associate being on a plan e with being comfortable and they tend to think that the experi ence is going to be unpleasant. Remember that tossing and t urning won’t make you any more comfortable and instead just focus on the fact that you are sitting down without a care in th e world during at least the period of the flight.50 _______ Medication If you do get travel sick then this is of course not conductive (有益的) to your comfort. 51 _______ The other kind of medication t hat might help you relax and sleep quickly could be anti-anxiety if you are nervous about flight or sleeping tablets. Take some travel medication before the flight if this is the cas e.Think long and hard about the airline you are going to fly with and the seat you are going to book.It is actually unnecessary to worry about how to make a long f light comfortable.In fact, the biggest problem with people on planes is the psyc hological factor.Avoid booking a seat beside a window in case you are dizzy. But many of us feel an amount of anxiety because the trip mig ht be long while you still have to get there.It is a rare opportunity now to just relax and read a book.Woman: Good morning.Man: Good morning. Er…I’m looking for a place 61 _____ (ren t) near the university.Woman: What are you looking for, a house, a flat, 62 ______ a room?Man: Well, we want a flat if that’s possible. There are three of us looking all together. We thought we might share it if we can find something 63 ______ (suit)Woman: So something near the university?Man: Yes. We are all students, so it would be good if we could find something 64 ______walking distance of the campus. 65 ______of us has a car and we don’t want to have to take a b us.Woman: Well, everybody wants that of course. Are you here f or your first year?Man: No, I 66 _______ (be) here for a year already. Last year we all lived on campus.Woman: Ok. So let me have a look and consider 67 _______w e have got. Well, there’s a three-bedroom flat. That’s 400 dollars a week --- quite 68 _______ (reason), I think.Man: Oh, That’s too 69 ________.Woman: Ok, I’ll try 70 ________. Oh, here is another one near the Sunshine Bookstore. It’s a quiet place. Only 150 dollars a week. It’s quite cheap. Would you like to have a look?11—30 .

I had folding bikes in the past and love the convenience of being able to throw my bike into my car.”The e-bike market is ready to go mainstream in the The price for e-bikes has come down greatly in recent months. At one time, most e-bikes with good components and proper weight were in the ＄3，000 range. Now you can find reasonable quality e-bikes in the ＄1,000 range. With gas prices at all-time highs, e-bikes are an attractive, low-cost option to gas efficient vehicles.E-bike owners are finding that they are great for commuting to work, as traditional bikes can be a problem with office dress and sweat．People who use e-bikes range from commuters to casual cyclers who like a little help with hills and wind, to thos e who decided to save money on buying a motor bike．These are not for the serious road cy cler or professional mountain biker．If you’re considering all e-bike, it pays to do some research first.
