"Be careful，" the metaphor warns，"Love is a feast to the senses，but it can overwhelm us，and it can also hurt us and cause acute suffering．" This is the poet's understanding of love-an admonition （劝诫）．What is the point？Just this：It took almost 14 sentences to clarify what a simple metaphor communicates in only four words! That is the artistry and the joy of the simple metaphor．19.According to the passage，a metaphor is a ______ ．A. description of two similar objects in a poetic wayB. literary device specially employed in poetry writingC. contrast between two different things to create a vivid imageD. comparison between two different objects with similar features20.As is meant by the author，thorns of a rose ______ ．A. add a new element to the image of loveB. protect the rose from harmC. symbolize reduced loveD. cause acute suffering21.It can be inferred from the passage that a metaphor is ______ ．A. difficult to understandB. rich in meaningC. simple to useD. perfect in form22.The main idea of this passage is that ______ ．A. love is a rose in metaphorB. a rose is a good image in poetryC. a metaphor is a great poetic deviceD. a poet should be careful to use a metaphorCOn my first job as a sports editor for the Montpelier Leader Enterprise，I didn't get a lot of fan mail，so I was intrigued by a letter plopped on my desk one morning．The envelope bore the logo of the closest big-city paper，the Toledo Blade．When I opened it，I read："Sweet piece of writing on the Tigers．Keep up the good work．"It was signed by Don Wolfe，the sports editor．Because I was a teenager （being paid the grand total of 15 cents a column inch），his words could not have been more exciting．I kept the letter in my desk drawer until it got rag-eared．Whenever I doubted I had the right stuff to be a writer，I would reread Don's note and walk on air again．Later，when I got to know him，I learned that Don made a habit of writing a quick，encouraging word to people in all walks of life．"When I make others feel good aboutthemselves，" he told me，"I feel good，too．"Why are upbeat note writers in such short supply？My guess is that many who shy away from the practice are too self-conscious．They are afraid they will be misunderstood，soundold-fashioned or flattering．Also，writing takes time and it is far easier to pick up the phone ．The drawback with phone calls，of course，is that they do not last．A note attaches more importance to our well-wishing．It is a matter of record，and our words can be read more than once，appreciated，and treasured．What does it take to write notes that lift spirits and warm hearts？Perhaps just a desire and a willingness to express our appreciation．The most successful people write notes that are short on words and long on feeling，sincere，short，specific，and usually spontaneous in nature．It is difficult to be spontaneous，however，when you have to hunt for letter writing materials；so，keep paper，envelopes，and stamps close at hand，even when you travel ．Fancy stationery is not necessary；it's the thought that counts．So，who around you deserves a note of thanks or approval？A neighbor，your librarian，a relative，your mate，a teacher，or your doctor？You do not need to be poetic．If you need a reason，look for a milestone，the anniversary of a special event you shared，a birthday，or holiday，and do not hold back your praise．Such words as："greatest，" "smartest，" "prettiest" make us all feel good．Even if your praises run a little ahead of reality ，remember that expectations are often the parents of dreams fulfilled．23.On seeing the letter on the desk，the author felt ______ ．A. annoyedB. curiousC. doubtfulD. shocked24.According to the author，many people don't write upbeat notes mainly because they are______ ．A. afraid of being out of dateB. too shy to flatter othersC. prepared to make phone callsD. too concerned about what others think25.It can be learned from the last paragraph that ______ ．A. praises often run ahead of realityB. praises help in pursuing a dreamC. parents often write upbeat notesD. parents expect children's success26.What might be the suitable title for the passage？______A. The Power of a Positive NoteB. Notes Help to Fulfill DreamsC. The Necessity of Writing NotesD. Note or Phone，Your Own ChoiceDHomeownership has let us down．For generations，Americans believed that owning a home was undoubtedly good．Our political leaders hammered home the point．Franklin Roosevelt held that a country of homeowners was "unconquerable．" Homeownership could even save babies，save children，save families and save America．A house with a lawn and a fence wasn't just a nice place to live in or a risk-free investment；it was a way to transform a nation ．No wonder leaders of all political types wanted to spend more than $100 billion a year on subsidies and tax breaks to encourage people to buy．But the dark side of homeownership is now all too apparent：Indeed，easy lendingstimulated by the cult of homeownership may have triggered the financial crisis．Housing remains a drag on the economy．Existing-home sales in April dropped 27% from the prior month，worsening fears of a double-dip．And all that is just the obvious tale of a housing bubble and what happened when it popped．The real story is deeper and darker still．For the better part of a century，politics，industry and culture lined up to create a fetish of the idea of buying a house．Homeownership has done plenty of good over the decades；it has provided stability to tens of millions of families．Yet by idealizing the act of buying a home，we have ignored the downsides．In the bubble years，lending standards slipped dramatically，allowing many Americans to put far too much of their income into paying for their housing．And we ignored longer-term phenomena too．Homeownership contributed to the hollowing out of cities and kept renters out of the best neighborhoods．It fed America's overuse of energy and oil．It made it more difficult for those who had lost a job to find another．Perhaps worst of all，it helped us become casually self-deceiving：By telling ourselves that homeownership was a pathway to wealth and stable communities and better test scores，we avoided dealing with these frightening issues head-on．Now，as the U．S．recovers from the biggest housing bust（破产）since the Great Depression，it is time to rethink how realistic our expectations of homeownership are-and how much money we want to spend chasing them．Many argue that homeownership should not be a goal pursued at all costs．27.Political leaders wanted to spend money encouraging people to buy houses because______ ．A. owning a home was undoubtedly goodB. homeownership was unconquerableC. houses could save families and AmericaD. homeownership could shape a country28.The underlined sentence in Para．2 means ______ ．A. homeownership has quite a lot of bad effectsB. there might be another housing breakdown in the U．S．C. the existing-home sales will keep decreasing in the U．S．D. the result of homeownership is much worse than it appears29.It can be inferred from Para．3 that ______ ．A. it is hard for Americans to get a home loanB. it is the way to wealth to have one's own houseC. many Americans choose to live out of urban areasD. homeownership has made many people out of work30.What is the author's attitude towards homeownership？______A. Favorable．B. Ambiguous．C. Cautious．D. Optimistic．三、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）"Look it up in the dictionary"is the usual comment when people are in doubt about the meaning or spelling of a word．Dictionaries are considered the final authority on these matters as well as on pronunciations and other facts about a word．Until a few hundred years ago，however，people could not"look it up"because there were no English dictionaries．The ancient Greeks and Romans and the scholars of the Middle Ages had made lists of Latin and Greek words．(1) The first great English dictionary listing both common and uncommon words was written by Samuel Johnson in 1755．In America，the most famous name in dictionary writing is that of Noah Webster．He stressed American rather than British ways of speaking．His great dictionary，which first appeared in 1828，has been republished many times．(2) The latest edition is stillconsidered"the"dictionary．It defines over 450，000 words，including radar，television and many others undreamed of by Webster．(3) The huge ones that rest on stands in libraries are called unabridged，meaning"not shortened．"They tell not only a word's meaning and spelling but also its pronunciation，origin ，history，part of speech，grammatical forms，and ways of use．The smaller ones do not provide all this information．(4) A bilingual dictionary，such as a Spanish-English dictionary，translates words from one language into another．A thesaurus lists other words that mean the same as each listed word．A gazetteer lists place names，and a glossary is a small dictionary in a book defining technical words in that book．There are also dictionaries of scientific terms and ones on many other topics．There is even a dictionary of slang．(5) The dictionary is one of our most valuable language tools．A．Each time，it has been updated．B．General dictionaries are not the only kind．C．Thus there are many kinds of special dictionaries．D．In a general dictionary，each word may have multiple meanings．E．Dictionaries that list all kinds of words are known as general dictionaries．F．Over the previous 150 years more than 20dictionaries had been published．G．But it was not until 1604that a book of uncommon English words appeared．31.

海淀区高三二模分析与高考复习建议

海淀区高三二模分析与高考复习建议张海翔高三毕业班的同学们：你们好！在“非典”疫情严重的情况下，同学们不能到学校的考场参加海淀区高三英语期末统练（二模试卷），而要依靠自己在家或其它场合解答试卷，并且也没有老师在考后进行分析试卷，答疑解惑。

这势必造成同学们的许多困惑：我到底考得怎么样？我到底错在哪？出错的原因是什么？二模试卷的作用是什么？我怎样依靠自己进行复习？对此，本文将从命题指导思想、典型试卷分析、复习建议三个方面尽力作出简要答复。

一．命题指导思想1．二模试卷命题主要是以年高考英语试卷（北京卷）考试说明为依据，）并且依据了《高中英语教案大纲》，但是不拘泥于《教案大纲》（教案大纲是对高中教案的基本要求，如词汇要求为左右、阅读速度要求每分钟词等）。

）同时也参照了新的英语课程标准中的知识能力要求和词汇要求（词汇，听、读、写技能要求更高）。

）不仅在命题思路和命题原则上，而且在考试内容和形式上，力争与年高考英语试卷（北京卷）考试说明中的样题保持一致（试卷结构、题型、题量、评分等）。

2．在一模的基础上，进一步扩大语言知识考查范围。

二模试卷在知识范围的考查上与一模试卷为互补关系。

主要体现在：1）听力和阅读选材广泛，语篇的话题尽量不重复（如：听力语篇；完形语篇和阅读的五篇文章；以及书面表达的两个话题）。

2）词汇进一步扩大，并且尽量引用和考查《考试说明》中新填加的个单词（如：听力中的，单项中的，完形中的, ，阅读中的, …）。

3）补充考查基础语法知识（冠词；连词；时态；过去分词作状语；情态动词表示推测等。

书面表达第一题中的过去进行时的运用）。

3．进一步全面考查听、读、写技能。

二模试卷在基本技能的考查上与一模试卷为互补关系。

例如：1）听力技能（如：听数字，和听动作顺序；听说话人的感受、看法；和通过语气，理解话语的深层含义，等）。

2）阅读技能（如：阅读理解部分的第题数字计算技能，第题—段落主旨归纳技能，第题—句意理解技能等）。

Walton remains an active ambassador for the organization.In June of2007,armed with shining recommendations,Walton was hired as a temp(临时工)at MIT.He eventually worked his way up to where he is today—an invaluable asset(不可或缺的人)to three departments.“I do feel lucky to work at MIT,”he says.“I’ve had the ability to tour the country sharing my story in hopes that some people may be inspired and employers may see young adults with tough backgrounds differently.”In addition to Year Up,he is involved with a number of organizations committed to helping young adults overcome their troubled pasts.This desire to have a positive impact on people’s lives extends seamlessly into his work at MIT.“Giving back is very important to me,”Walton says.“So many people have invested their time and energy into helping me,so I feel it would be an injustice not to do so.”24．Staff members in MIT sing high praise for Walton mainly because________.A．he enjoys interacting with his clientsB．he knows how to put out fires for othersC．he solves problems with a positive attitudeD．he is good at developing computer programs25．What do we know about Walton before he went to college?A．He depended on his great-grandma for a living.B．He stood out in study and sports in high school.C．He lay flat just like other unsupervised children.D．He was supported by foster care for better education.26．Why did Walton get involved with a lot of organizations?A．To share his troubled past with young adults.B．To pay back to society by helping young adults.C．To advise businesses to treat young adults fairly.D．To promote education equality among young adults.27．What can we conclude from Walton’s story?A．One good turn deserves another.B．Opportunities favor the prepared mind.C．Education is a powerful weapon to change the world.D．One’s future is defined by his efforts,not by his origin.Even people who tend to think conventionally,such as accountants,can be creative,a recent study suggests,if they can look at emotional situations in a different light.In a set of experiments,researchers found that conventional thinkers came up with more creative ideas than peers after they practised“emotional reappraisal”.This means viewing a situation through another emotional lens,such as trying to see an anger-inducing event as one that is neutral or hopeful.The study indicates that creativity is something that can be trained.“Whenever we break away from our existing perspective and try to think about something that’s different from our initial reaction,there’s a creative element to it.If we can practise or train that flexible-thinking muscle,it may help us be more creative over time,”said lead author Lily Zhu,an assistant professor at Washington State University.For the study,Zhu and her colleagues conducted two similar experiments.In the first experiment with335people recruited through a crowdsourcing platform,the participants were first ranked on their openness levels and then shown a film scene designed to elicit(引起)anger.While viewing,they were given different instructions:to suppress their emotions,to think about something else to distract themselves or to try emotional reappraisal—looking at the scene through another lens.Some were also given no instruction on how to regulate their feelings.After viewing the film,the participants were asked to come up with an idea to use an empty space in their building.Those ideas were then evaluated by a panel of experts who did not know anything about the participants.Ideas such as using the space for“napping capsules”were considered highly creative whereas ideas like opening a similar cafeteria as before were considered low in creativity.The next experiment had a different group of177participants write about an experience that made them angry.They were then tasked with either writing about it again from a different emotional perspective or writing about something else as a distraction.In both experiments,conventional thinking participants who tried emotional reappraisal came up with more creative ideas than other conventional thinkers who used suppression, distraction or no emotional regulation strategy at all.Notably,for participants who were considered creative thinkers to begin with,emotional reappraisal did not seem to have much effect on their creativity.As to the implications of the study,Zhu suggested that supervisors in workplace should develop trainings to cultivate creative thinking skills in employees.Individuals can also practise emotional reappraisal when confronted with a crisis or challenge instead of suppressing negative emotions.28．Which of the following is most probably an example of emotional reappraisal?A．Considering an occurrence objectively.B．Taking one’s success as an opportunity.C．Distracting oneself from an annoying event.D．Regarding disappointment as a turning point.29．From the study,we know that________.A．creative thinkers’creativity was enhanced after practising emotional reappraisalB．evaluating experts had adequate information about the research subjectsC．the research findings could be applied to the training of employeesD．the first experiment aimed to select the most creative design30．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．Change Feelings to Boost CreativityB．Effective Strategies to Manage EmotionsC．Think Over to Explore Creative PotentialD．A New Way to Remove Negative EmotionsAs we enter a period of profound economic uncertainty,presaged(预示)by recent high-profile layoffs and a culture of“quiet quitting”,thinking about the future of work might well seem a daunting(令人生畏的)prospect.Indeed,an ever-increasing digital skills gap threatens to stop businesses adopting the game-changing technologies that will help to power growth in the months and years ahead. For instance,with each exciting new technology comes a growing concern about whether we have a digitally savvy(精明的)workforce ready to take advantage of it.After all,keeping the workforce up to speed with the latest advances is a key element of the digital transformation process,which will prove essential if we hope to improve business productivity and efficiency alongside our efforts to achieve sustained growth.Likewise,at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos,the cybersecurity skills gap was named as one particular area of concern.There’s good reason for this focus:if businesses can’t protect themselves against external threats,they risk going backwards.And that’s before they even start thinking about achieving growth.This is why we need to address the digital skills gap urgently.Well,we should start by changing the narrative to help us recruit and retain from a more diverse pool of talent,giving businesses a far better chance of finding the up-to-date digital skills they need.And,when it comes to engaging and empowering the current workforce, learning and development opportunities will be key,helping employees to improve their skills for the benefit of both themselves and their employers.To make this all happen,leaders and employers must demonstrate a commitment to teaching their workforces digital skills by setting clear expectations and providing all the resources required.One approach,for example,would be to focus on the potential in the existing talent pool by identifying those already skilled in digital capabilities and supporting them to upskill their colleagues.Creating a culture of learning,with an emphasis on personal growth,can be an impressive motivator in the workplace.Of course,it’s all well and good saying that digital skills are vital,but a workforce with purely hard skills will not future-proof a business.There’s a need for soft skills that support四、七选五maintain water levels and ecosystems.六、其他应用文44．假设你是红星中学高三“传统文化社”社长李华。

A cartoon character wearing bright red shorts on video begins instructing us to do star-jumps and sit-ups around his apartment.Pella, a research assistant at Stockholm University, is part of the Hoffice movement, which invites workers-freelancers（自由职业者）or full-time employees who can do their jobs remotely—to work at each other’s homes to increase productivity and enjoy an active social life.Those attending Hoffice events advertised on Facebook are typically asked to work silently in 45-minute blocks, before taking short breaks together to exercise, or simply chatting over a coffee. In addition, each participant shares daily objectives with the rest of the group upon arrival, and is invited to report back on whether or not they have achieved them at the end of the day.“Often when I am alone, I can work focused for a couple of hours but then I’m easily distracted（分心）.The help of others makes me so much more disciplined.” says Pella, who attends Hoffice events as both a guest and a host. Lunches mean networking and connecting with new contacts. “People are coming from really different areas and have different professions so there can be really interesting discussions,” he says.The Hoffice movement has grown quickly since it was founded in 2014 by Swedish psychologist Christofer Franzen, now 37. He had been giving lectures on the benefits of collective（集体的）intelligence, but realised he was spending most of his own time working alone at his kitchen table. “I wanted to test more structured home co-working with friends in similar situations,” he says.Franzen says that holding events in houses and apartments creates a unique atmosphere, because there’s a sense of community and desire to contribute. He’s looking for ways to expand the social value of Hoffice, by matching up members with relevant skills to share and even encouraging jobseekers to join its gatherings.4.

Working from Others’ HomesCA cheap printed sensor could transmit wildfire warnings. Wildfires have recently destroyed regions across the world, and theirgravityis increasing. Hoping to reduce harm, researchersled by Yapei Wang, a Chinese chemist ofRenminUniversity, say they have developed an inexpensive sensor to detect such fires earlier with less effort.Current detection methods rely heavily on human watchfulness, which can delay an effective response. Most wildfires are reported by the general public, and other alerts come from routine foot patrols and watchtower observers. Passing planes and satellites also occasionally spot something, but “the fire first appears on the ground," Wang says. “ When you see the fire from the sky, it is too late. ”The team says its new sensor can be placed near tree trunks' bases and send a wireless signal to a nearby receiver if there is a dramatic temperature increase. That heat also powers the sensor itself, without replacing batteries. The team printed the substances onto ordinary paper to create a sensor for just $ 0.40.But improving coordination among the different agencies involved in firefighting is even more crucial to address, says Graham Kent, an earthquake expert at theUniversityofNevada,Reno, who was not part of the study.Kentis director of ALERTWildfire, a network that uses cameras and crowd sourcing to watch for fires inCalifornia,NevadaandOregon. “The whole way that you respond to a fire until it's put out is like a ballet," he says. “You'd have to choreograph (设计) it just so, with resources precisely used at the right time and place and in the right order from detection to confirmation to assignment to extinguishment (熄灭).Fire detection is just step one.Wang says his team's next steps are to extend the device'ssignal range beyond the current 100 meters, which can limit practical use, and to develop a protective shield for it. The transmitter's effectiveness, he notes, will alsoneed to be examined in the field ahead.8. What does the underlined word “gravity” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Pull.B. Extinction.C. Popularity.D. Severity.9. What do we know about the sensor?A. Its price remains high.B. Its batteries are replaceable.C. It can detect fires earlier and easier.D. It can reduce firefighters' pain.10. What doesKentmean in paragraph 4?A. Firefighting is easy but crucial.B. Fire detection resources are rich.C. Putting out a fire is an orderly activity.D. Technology is the key to extinguishing a fire.11. What's the plan for the new sensor according to Wang?A. Improving and testing it.B. Limiting its use and transmission.C. Examing and reducing its signal range.D. Getting it on the market ahead of time.DFor most thinkers since the Greek philosophers, it was self-evident that there is something called human nature, something that constitutes the essence of man. There were various views about what constitutes it, but there was agreement that such an essence exists—that is to say, that there is something by virtue of which man is man. Thus man was defined as a rational(理性的) being, as a social animal, an animal that can make tools, or a symbol-making animal.More recently, this traditional view has begun to be questioned. One reason for this change was the increasing emphasis given to the historical approach to man. An examination of the history of humanity suggested that man in our time is so different from man in previous times that it seemed unrealistic to assume that men in every age have had in common something that can be called “human nature.” The historical approach was strengthened, particularly in the United States, by studies in the field of cultural anthropology (人类学). The studyof primitive peoples has discovered such a diversity of customs, values, feelings, and thoughts that many anthropologists arrived at the concept that man is born as a blank sheet of paper on which each culture writes its text. Another factor contributing to the tendency to deny the assumption of a fixed human nature was that the concept has so often been abused as a shield(盾牌) behind which the most inhuman acts are committed. In the name of human nature, for example, Aristotle and most thinkers up to the eighteenth century defended slavery. Or in order to prove the rationality and necessity of the capitalist form of society, scholars have tried to make a case for acquisitiveness, competitiveness, and selfishness as natural human characters. Popularly, one refers cynically（愤世嫉俗地）to “human nature” in accepting the inevitability of such undesirable human behavior as greed, murder, cheating and lying.Another reason for disbelief about the concept of human nature probably lies in the influence of evolutionary thinking. Once man came to be seen as developing in the process of evolution, the idea of a substance which is contained in his essence seemed untenable. Yet I believe it is precisely from an evolutionary standpoint that we can expect new insight into the problem of the nature of man.12. Most philosophers believed that human nature ________.A. is the quality distinguishing man from other animalsB. consists of competitiveness and selfishnessC. is something partly innate and partly acquiredD. consists of rationality and undesirable behavior13. The traditional view of “human nature” was strongly challenged by ________.A. the emergence of the evolutionary theoryB. the historical approach to manC. new insight into human behaviorD. the philosophical analysis of slavery14. According to the passage, anthropologists believe that human beings ________.A. have some characters in commonB. are born with diverse culturesC. are born without a fixed natureD. change their characters as they grow up15. The author mentioned Aristotle, a great ancient thinker, in order to ________.A. emphasize that he contributed a lot to defining the concept of “human nature”B. show that the concept of “human nature” was used to justify social evilsC. prove that he had a profound influence on the concept of “human nature”D. support the idea that some human characters are inherited.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
