When I was 8, a gentleman came to my orphanage（孤儿院）and taught us how to do woodworking projects.
I remember my first project—a small table. I was so 36 of it that I looked upon it as if I had created a(an) 37 . It was absolutely beautiful and it had taken me six weeks to 38 it. I could hardly wait to give it to Mother Winters as a 39 . She was the head mistress of our orphanage, who was always 40 with us.
As the tables were not dry from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories. But I was just so 41 and happy that I couldn’t wait. I dashed out like a 42 , carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.
When I reached the dormitory I placed the little table beside my bed. I was 43 it when Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand 44 it, she noticed that it was still wet.
“Were you 45 to bring this home?” she asked.
“No, ma’am,” I46 with my head down.
She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I immediately opened the door to get it back. There was 47 stuck all over. I brushed and cried, but it would not come off.
I hid the table in my closet and never 48 it. A year later while cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent（宿管员）, thinking that she would 49 it away.
Thirty years later at a reunion, I 50 that Mother Henderson was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. We talked cheerfully for long.

第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
When the swim season began, my 11-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, and I cut a deal. She would go to practice three times a week and try really hard, and I wouldn’t make her compete in the swim meets because on the day of a meet, she would be nervous all day. Her nerves rooted from the possibility that she would do something horribly wrong and let everyone down.
Recently, they had a T-shirt relay, which works like this: one person from each relay team puts on a T-shirt and a pair of socks, swims 50 meters, and gets out of the pool. She takes off the clothes and puts them on the next person, who then swims 50 meters. This continues until everyone on the team has completed a lap.
By the last leg, Elizabeth’s team had built up a moderate lead. Then it was Elizabeth’s turn to swim. She seemed to swim faster in the T-shirt and socks than when she wasn’t wearing them.
Approaching the halfway mark, she was still in the lead. Then one of Elizabeth’s socks fell off and was floating in the pool. “She has to get that sock on before the end of the race,” a swimming official told her team,
“or you will be disqualified.”
Everybody on her team started screaming, “Elizabeth! Elizabeth! Stop! Get the sock!” But she couldn’t hear them. As she started her last 25 meters, a girl in Lane 2 was gaining on Elizabeth. It was time for desperate measure s. A girl on my daughter’s team jumped in the pool, grabbed the sock, and swam after Elizabeth. She grabbed Elizabeth’s foot. “You have to put the sock on,” the girl screamed. Elizabeth continued swimming while her teammate put on the sock.
By now, the girl in Lane 2 was about to pass Elizabeth. With the sock finally on, Elizabeth swam her heart out for the last 15 meters. It was close, but Elizabeth beat the other girl to the wall for the victory.
On the ride home, she relived her moment of glory again and again. She told me that if the T-shirt relay was an Olympic event, her team would win the gold medal. I told her that in my professional opinion, she was absolutely right.
56. Elizabeth was nervous about swim meets because she _______.
A. was afraid of disappointing everyone
B. didn’t expect to lose the swim match
C. didn’t want to compete against other girls
D. was worried about making errors in public
57. From the passage, we know that _______.
A. socks contributed greatly to Elizabeth’s victory
B. the match nearly drove Elizabeth desperate
C. good luck finally fell on Elizabeth’s team
D. Elizabeth’s team narrowly won the match
58. It can be inferred that Elizabeth would _______.
A. swim faster in the T-shirt
B. enjoy swim meets later on
C. experience the moment again
D. take part in an Olympic event
B
Expensive and new gloves allow chatterboxes（话匣子）to take the term
“handsfree” to a new level—by talking into them as they make a call. The gloves are known as “Talk to the Hand” and cost £1,000 a pair. They fixed a speaker unit into the thumb and a microphone into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using Bluetooth.
Artist Sean Miles designed the new gloves that double as a phone in part of his project that shows the possibilities of gadget recycling. He uses outdated gloves and combines them with parts from mobile handsets recycled through O2, which commissioned（承担）the project. Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phones out of their pockets or handbags.
Mr Miles designed two pairs of the new gloves—one in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the gloves. If demand is high, they will then be produced on a larger scale. O2 Recycle, which backed the project, estimates that there are already 70 million unused mobile handsets in the UK. The service pays up to £260 to those who recycle gadgets including phones, handheld consoles, MP3 players and digital cameras.
Designer Sean Miles hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling. The 41-year-old said, “I hope that my ‘Talk to the Hand’ project will get people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets.
If a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than send them to trash, I think this project will have fulfilled its aim.”
Bill Eyres, head of O2 Recycle, urges people to recycle their phone responsibly. He said, “There’s a pressing need for all of us to look at outdated handsets, and all the gadgets that we move on from or upgrade each year. Whether they are consoles or cameras, we should think of them as a resource that we need to recycle responsibly rather than throw them away.”
59. The underlined word “O2” in Paragraph 2 is probably the name of ______.
A. an artist
B. a company
C. a mobile
D. an exhibition
60. Consumers can buy the “Talk to the Hand” gloves ______.
A. in the exhibition
B. from Mr Miles
C. when they are mass produced
D. after they recycle the gadgets
61. The purpose of the project is to _______.
A. promote the technology of IT
B. enable people to talk to their hands
C. raise people’s awareness of recycling
D. attract visitors’ attention in the exhibition
62. What is the passage mainly about?
A. New mobiles that are fashionable.
B. Outdated handsets that are upgraded.
C. Outdated gadgets that can be used for recycling.
D. New gloves that can be used for making phone calls.

For decades, families settled on the sofa to share the latest news and TV series, until additional bedroom TV, computer games and the Internet almost put an end to family rows over who held the remote control. Now, however, the traditional living room scene is making a comeback. A study by the communications watchdog Ofcom has found families are once again gathering around the main television set, but they are bringing their pads and smartphones with them.
“The 1950s living room is making a comeback as a family entertainment centre,” said Jane Rumble, head of media research at Ofcom. “We are watching on much better, bigger, and more delicate television sets, but we are coming into the living room holding our connected devices.” While the family are coming t ogether once more, comparisons with the past end there. With a range of smaller screens on hand, not everyone sitting on the sofa shares the same viewing experience.
The coronation (加冕礼) may have drawn the undivided attention of 20 million viewers in 1953, but those watching the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations 50 years later were as likely to be commenting online about BBC’s broadcast as watching it. “Just a few years ago, we would be talking about last night’s TV at work or at school,” said a viewer, “Now, we’re having those conversations live while watching TV, using social media, text and instant messaging.”
It is a behaviour of media meshing（联网）, whose influence was underlined during this year’s Wimbledon men’s tennis final. As Andy Murray pushed to wards his victory, 1.1 million people worldwide sent an average of over two microblogs about the match.
People use the Internet to enhance their television experience, for example, by reading a newspaper live blog about a football match while watching the action on the main screen. For a huge number of younger viewers, the portable screen offers a chance to do something unrelated, such as online shopping, listening to music or watching another television programme.
Some 70% of 16-to-24-year-olds claim t o be absorbed in what Ofcom calls “media stacking” at least once a week. For TV viewers, the Internet scanning is the most popular activity, but they are also calling friends on the phone or sending emails and texts. Surprisingly, 12% claim to have listened to the radio with the television on, and 6% say they have watched another video in the meanwhile.
63. According to the study by Ofcom, family members nowadays _______.
A. care more about who holds the remote control
B. share the same programmes in the living room
C. watch better and more delicate television programmes
D. enjoy TV together with various smaller screens on hand
64. This year’s Wimbledon men’s tennis final is mentioned to indicate _______.
A. so many people worldwide are watching TV
B. people like watching live matches on TV
C. the great influence of media meshing
D. the average amount of microblogs
65. Which shows the phenomenon of “media stacking” in the last paragraph?
A. People are watching TV while shopping online.
B. People are watching a broadcast of a coronation.
C. The Internet makes people spend less time on TV.
D. The Internet enriches people’s television experience.
66. The passage is written to _______.
A. describe the changes connected devices bring to TV watching
B. report the comeback of the traditional living room scene
C. show the influence of connected devices on people
D. present the different roles TV plays in people’s life
D
In her new book, “The Smartest Kids in the World,” Amanda Ripley, an investigative journalist, tells the story of Tom, a high-school student from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, who decides to spend his senior year in Wroclaw, Poland. Poland is a surprising educational success story: in the past decade, the country raised students’ test scores from significantly below average to well above it. Polish kids have now outscored American kids in math and science, even though Poland spends, on average, less than half as much per student as the United States does. One of the most striking differences between the high school Tom attended in Gettysburg and the one he ends up at in Wroclaw is that the latter has no football team, or, for that matter, teams of any kind.
That American high schools lavish more time and money on sports than on math is an old complaint. This is not a matter of how any given student who plays sports does in school, but of the culture and its priorities. This December, when the latest Program for International Student Assessment(PISA) results are announced, it’s safe to predict that American high-school students will once again display their limited skills in math and reading, outscored not just by students in Poland but also by students in places like South Korea, Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland, Singapore, and Japan. Meanwhile, they will have played some very exciting football games, which will have been breathlessly written up in their hometown papers.
Why does this situation continue? Well, for one thing, kids like it. And for another, according to Ripley, parents seem to like the arrangement, too. She describes a tour she took of a school in Washington D.C., which costs thirty thousand dollars a year. The tour leader—a mother with three children in the school—was asked about the school’s flaws. When she said that the math program was weak, none of the parents taking the tour reacted. When she said that the football program was weak, the parents suddenly became concerned. “Really?” one of them asked worriedly, “What do you mean?”
One of the ironies of the situation is that sports reveal what is possible. American kids’ performance on the field shows just how well they can do when expectations are high. It’s too bad that their test scores show the same thing.
67. Tom decides to spend his senior year in Poland because _______.
A. he intends to improve his scores
B. Polish kids are better at learning
C. sports are not supported at schools in Gettysburg
D. there are striking differences between the 2 countries
68. According to Paragraph 2, we know that _______.
A. PISA plays a very important role in America
B. little time is spent on sports in Japanese schools
C. American high schools complain about sports time
D. too much importance is placed on sports in America
69. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means _______.
A. low expectations result in American students’ poor PISA performance
B. high expectations push up American students’ academic performance
C. American students’ academic performance worries their parents a lot
D. lacking practice contributes to American students’ average performance
70. The purpose of this article is to _______.
A. compare Polish schools with those in America
B. call on American schools to learn from the Polish model
C. draw public attention to a weakness in American school tradition
D. explain what is wrong with American schools and provide solutions

In our rush to make life easier, we have decided to go blindly into the future without paying a thought to the severe consequences. The results have been great profits for individuals who have invested their time and money in industrie s that have improved their (and some others’) quality of life. 71
But if we can create pollution, we can reduce it too. The problem is time and money. And time and money happen to be the investment that the creators of the pollution claim to have made to make life better for all, which means they have made a mess, to some or a large extent, in all cases.
The United States suffered from problems similar to what China is facing today. 72 The US government finally opened its eyes to the problems and told industries to cut down their polluting emissions（排放）, for which it implemented strict laws requiring clean air and water. All the states in the country follow the regulations, and have added additional requirements that enhance the environmental laws. The end result is cleaner air and water.
73 The answer: the costs for keeping the environment clean eventually became the burden of the people. The equipment needed to create a healthy lifestyle has been added to the cost of making what we want.
The materialistic world that we live in is the cause of most of the pollution. If you wish, you can move away from cities and industrial regions causing the problem. 74 However, you will soon realize how really small the world is when pollution catches up with us through the wind and rain.
It will take time and money to solve the problems the environment faces today. 75 What the Chinese government should do is to immediately implement strict laws that require clean air and water.
A. So who paid for the clean air and water?
B. The results left scars on the land, dirty air and water.
C. If so, you may escape from the commonly known PM2.5 .
D. I’m sure you can find places that are yet to be affected by the pollution.
E. The US government created the Environmental Protection Agency to oversee these laws.
F. But the longer we wait, the worse they will become and the more they will cost to solve.
G. However, that has also brought us side effects like polluted air and water we have to endure.

Monday，October 28 Fine
This morning, I went to school by bicycle as usual. As I was listening to my favourite music with a headphone on my head, I didn’t notice a car parked on the roadside. I scratched the car and left a scar on it. Thinking that I would have classes, I left a note with my name and address to let the driver know what happened.
Later in the afternoon, while we were having a class meeting, our headmaster brought a stranger to our class. He was the car owner. He explained to the class the whole story and praised me. Both my teacher and classmates were impressed and proud of my honesty. I think honesty should be valued most.

三、Possible versions
I think the picture is trying to tell us that we should not follow others blindly. As you can see, crowds of people are waiting to take the escalator while a man holding bags is walking upstairs on the steps. It is obvious that the man is closer to the destination than most people on the escalator, because these people fail to notice the crowded situation and still believe it is more convenient and energy-saving. Actually, if they do not blindly follow others, they can walk upstairs quickly as well.
Similar things happen in our daily life. We often choose to follow others instead of making a wiser choice after analyzing our situation. As a result, we may waste a lot of time and energy without achieving our goals.
Therefore, we should not learn from the followers, instead we should make our own decision.

高三英语期中听力录音稿
2013北京市海淀区期中考试解析
完形填空：
题材仍然是夹叙夹议，讲述了“我”小时候在孤儿院的经历。

当“我”8岁的时候，一个先生来孤儿院教我们做木工活，“我”花了6周的时间做了一个小桌子，希望可以作为礼物送给孤儿院的院长。

但“我”因为太兴奋太高兴了，在桌子没有干透的情况下，带回了宿舍，被院长发现了，她让“我”扔掉这个小桌子。

“我”很伤心，后来“我”就再也没有碰过它，整理东西的时候把它交给了宿管员扔掉。

但是后来在“我”去看望宿管员的时候，发现她还为我保留着那个小桌子。

“我”充满了感激之情。

40. 孤儿院的院长平时是一个什么样子的人，通过下文中院长因为作者把桌子带回宿舍违反规定而让作者扔掉小桌子可以看出，院长对我们的要求是非常“严格的”。

42. 形容作者特别兴奋，像...一样冲了出去，flash可以显示出作者的速度很快。

45. be supposed to do something本意表示“to be expected or required to do/be sth according to a rule, a custom, an arrangement”，在文中用疑问句的方式表现出院长因为作者违反规定很生气的状态。

50. learn在这里不是表示学习的意思，而是“得知”，作者是得知当时的宿管员是住在附近的。

51. 根据常识可以推断小桌子应该是放在储藏室或是地下室的，并且后句中的dark corner也可以确定答案是basement。

55. 答案是D。

当时作者很用心的做这个小桌子是想送给院长作为礼物，目的是想让院长开心，其他词义放在这里不合适。

阅读理解：
A篇
伊丽莎白刚开始不愿意参加任何比赛，因为她担心会让大家失望，但是一次经历让她建立了自信。

57. 答案是D。

大家注意一下narrowly won的意思，它表示“险胜”的意思，因为伊丽莎白在游泳的过程中差一点被对手超过，所以我们可以判断出伊丽莎白的队伍是险胜。

B篇
通过回收的小零件制造出来一副新型的手套，这个手套可以使得人们在打电话的时候仍然可以保证手是暖和的，通过这样的一个小产品呼吁大家要有回收的思想。

59. 根据第二段可以判断出O2一个公司。

60. 目前手套仅用于参观，当需求量高的时候手套就会大量生产，进而人们就可以买到，If demand is high, they will then be produced on a larger scale.
61. 根据这句话可以得出，Designer Sean Miles hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling.
62. 答案选D。

容易误选C。

题目设问的是这篇文章是主要关于什么的，那么文章主要是在讨论一个创新的手套，所以答案必须要提及手套及其用途。

而C选项是这篇文章的目的，不要弄混。

C篇
63. 答案在最后一段的最后一句，they are bringing their pads and smart phones with them。

64. 答案在第四段的第一句提到，a behavior of media meshing，作者举例是用来证明media的作用。

65. 通过文中已有的例子可以发现因为media meshing人们可以同时做很多事情，因此A选项是符合要求的。

66. 文中主要围绕人们看电视的变化展开，因此A选项符合要求。

D篇
67. 第一段提到波兰的孩子成绩比较突出，因此他去波兰是想去提高成绩。

68. 根据第二段的第一句lavish more time and money on sports than on math就可以得出。

69. 答案是A。

前半句是说孩子们在运动场上期待比较高，因此他们会在运动场上会做的更好，同理，在学习上期待比较低，那么他们在这一方面就会相对来讲比较弱。

70. 答案是C。

作者写这篇文章的目的是通过两个国家之间的对比，希望可以让大家关注到美国教育中的弱势的地方，而不是去让美国教育去学习波兰模式，文章结尾也没有提出解决方法。

此题也可以通过逆向推理来做。

七选五：
71. 空格前提到了工业带来的便利，全文是在讲环境的破坏，因此中间需要转折的句子来作为连接。

72. 选项中的the results与空格前的the problems是相对应的，提到了后果。

73. 空格后的the answer特别关键，意味着出现在前面的一定是个问句，并且这段内容就回答了A的问题。

74. 空格后出现了转折，空格处应该是与后面提到的相反关系的句子。

75. 空格前面提到了治理需要花时间和金钱，空格后提到了immediately，F选项同样与时间有关，因此是相对应的。
