2014年高考英语湖北卷点评
2014年高考英语湖北卷点评作者：陈晶左婷来源：《新东方英语·中学版》2015年第04期2014年高考英语湖北卷的出题思路与2013年的基本保持一致，重点考查考生综合运用语言和语法知识的能力，以及用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析问题和解决问题的能力。
下面我们将对各题型进行逐一分析。
（本文所涉及的题目请参见本期随刊赠卷，听力音频请下载本期免费MP3有声文件。
）2014年高考英语湖北卷听力仍然选择了对话和独白两种形式，难度与往年持平。
试题所选素材内容贴近生活，语言幽默且较为生活化，考生理解起来并不困难。
此外，录音中人物说话的语音、语调及语速都与其对应的场景十分相符，增强了表达效果，有助于考生融入语境，更好地理解录音内容。
由此看来，考生在听力部分应该不会遇到很大的障碍。
1. 细节题为主，但亦需整体把握。
一般来说，听力题的顺序都是按其考点在录音中出现的先后顺序来设置的，虽然2014年听力的考点以细节题为主，但考生同样需要整体把握录音内容，才能够准确答题。
比如第12题：Why is Lucy in low spirits？A. She hasn't made a plan.B. She hasn't realized her dream.C. She hasn't become a good waitress.【解析】本题虽考查细节，但考生无法从录音中听到现成的答案，而是需要通过理解整段对话，特别是最后几句话的内容来推知答案。
W： I didn't grow up to be a good waitress！ That was never the plan. The plan was to be a lawyer.M： OK. You're a young woman. You can still do that.W： Can I？ A 32 single mother who didn't even graduate from high school？由这几句对话可知，女士（即题中的Lucy）的理想是做一名律师，而不是一个优秀的服务员，她心情不好是因为自己的理想未能达成，因此答案选B。

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.

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.

【摘要】本文基于已有研究通过语料软件AntConc对2014年17套全国高考英语试卷中完形填空试题的文本特征、考查词汇和考点分布进行了研究.结果发现:语篇体裁上仍然以记叙文为主,14套完形填空试题的文本词汇高于《考试大纲》,设空主要以“一句一空”为主;考查词汇主要以动词和名词为主,但是对于形容词的考查有所侧重,考点上更注重考查语篇层次.与以往研究不同的是,本文呈现了文本特征,还通过AntConc发现并析出部分高频词汇,这对于高三英语备考和今后的试题命制均有所启示.

2014年高考英语湖北卷完形填空分析作者：余可佳来源：《高中生学习·高二文综版》2014年第08期高考英语湖北卷的完形填空一般以故事题材为主，兼有少许议论。
文章内容贴近人们的日常生活。
话题不偏不怪，理解难度不大。
文章的结构基本按时间顺序推进。
今年完形填空也是如此。
文章分为七段。
第一段交待故事的背景，中间五段讲述作者一家人在帕洛阿杜罗峡谷国家公园的经历，第七段发表感想，提升主题。
文章结构普通，理解难度不大。
剖析2014年高考英语湖北卷的完形填空可以发现：完形填空的文章长度适中。
湖北卷今年的完形填空全文共298词，阅读量相对较小，从而降低了题目的难度。
从设题的方式看，整篇完形填空题没有语法结构的考题。
在20个要填的词语中有6个名词、6个动词、6个形容词或副词和2个介词。
所以要填的词几乎都是实词。
着重考查语义理解，要求考生根据文章情节的发展填空。
从词汇的角度看，文中词汇多为初中课程标准基础的1920词。
文中只有fail， truck，position， permanent， link， guest， hire， available， survive， violently， substitute， tiny，television， jewel， hardship和trail等18个高中词汇，基础词汇占总词汇量的94%，只有极个别生僻词。
同时要求考生能够通过构词法理解合成词rent-free， campsite和派生词reorganize。
When our restaurant business failed， we headed north in a camping truck to Texas， hoping to ha ve a “fresh start”.At the 1 of Palo Duro Canyon（峡谷） State park， I 2 a job advertisement hiring park hosts. The position offered a 3 ， permanent campsite in the park， and 4 ， 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 5 for the following day.The park was 6 ， 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 7 climbed onto the table and， for the next four hours， waited for them to 8 ， our camp.Having survived that night， we were 9 that everything else would be all right. The next day we met with the people who ran the park. They explained our 10 and gave us a beautiful campsite.That evening， 11 ， we learned about the canyon 12 .

结果在帕洛阿杜罗峡谷国家公园承接一份公园主的工作。
工作的具体事情是联络游客与护林员以换取免费宿营地。
期间经历了许多困难。
但他们一家人挤在小卡车上看书和谈话使他们获得了一种家庭感。
1. D。
公园的招聘广告常常在公园的入口处。
2. C。
说明在公园的入口处看到招聘广告。
3. B。
一个生意失败的人手头钱不多需要免费宿营地。
4. A。
in return表示“作为回报”，说明以工作换取免费宿营地。
5. D。
有意接受招聘，于是就预约面谈。
6. A。
crowded表示“拥挤有”。
公园是公共场所，拥挤是很可能的。
7. B。
要赶走臭鼬，就要动作迅速。
所以，immediately表示“立刻”。
8. B。
在有臭鼬在附近干扰人的生活的时候，人等候的结果自然是要臭鼬离开。
因此，leave正确。
9. C。
经过了一件麻烦事之后，对后面的事情有“会比较顺利”的看法，这一定他们的信念。
be confident接从句就可以间接表示“相信”之义。
10. A。
当一个人接受了工作之后，需要明白的是他的职责。
情节至此，公园的老板解释他们的责任（responsibility）合乎情理。
11. C。
前文说明了老板给了他们一个美丽的宿营地。
在那里，作者除了感受到峡谷的美丽之外，还感受到了峡谷晚风的强烈与寒冷。
所以，用meanwhile（与此同时）表示并列。
12. A。
从下行中的until the winds died away（直到风停下来）可知此处指的是峡谷的晚风。
13. A。
在强烈的风中小卡车会振动，睡在车内，人也会振动。
因而此空填shaking是正确的。
14. C。
故事按时间顺序推进，至此要叙述接下来发生的事情，所以需要一个时间状语——During the weeks that followed，表示“在接下来的几周里”。
15. C。
与survive并列用live on the little money，说明他们困难的境地。
16. B。
作者自己在帕洛阿杜罗峡谷国家公园做公园主，所以那一点钱是妻子赚（earn）来的。
17. C。
一个忙生于生计人，难得有时间去经营自己的家庭。
18. B。
根据前文的交待，说明他对生意失败后的思考。
所以failed是正确的。
19. A。
回到宿营时的情景中，说明他们住在卡车中，因此要填truck。
20. D。
作者从许多艰难困苦的经历中能够发现有益元素，说明作者对待生活具有感恩的态度。
所以thankful是正确的。
【预测与指导】随着完形填空题的分值由（1.5×20=）30分降至（1×20=）20，其难度必定会有一定程度的减小。
然而完形填空题是一类非常需要答题技巧的题。
开篇信息不充分时，蛮撞答题容易出错。
文章中部偏后一点的空格，因信息量过份密集，容易出错。
文中不定地会出现个别生僻结构或俗语表达等等超出考生的理解范畴也容易出错。
