2011年高考英语试题(全国新课标卷)答案
2011年全国普通高等学校招生考试(全国新课标卷)英语答案1．C 2．A 3．B 4．B 5．A 6．C 7．B 8．A 9．C 10．B11．C 12．A 13．A 14．B 15．C 16．C 17．A 18．B 19．A 20．C21．A【解析】考查交际用语。
说话人建议邀请John 和Barbara 来参加周五晚上的派对。
答话人表示同意，因此空白处填why not，表示"为什么不呢，好哇"。
22．D【解析】考查as的用法。
连词as引导让步状语从句，从句通常采用倒装语序，即把表语、状语或动词放在句首。
因此可判断空白处填as。
语意：虽然Sue可能尽力了，但是她还是无法打开门。
23．C【解析】考查谓语动词的时态。
句子的主语为动名词短语Planning so far ahead，谈论的是现在的一种情况，因此谓语动词用一般现在时的第三人称单数。
24．A【解析】考查谓语动词的时态。
be用于进行时，表示主语当时的状态。
语意：我不敢确定他是真的对此感兴趣还是只是出于礼貌才那样做的。
故选A。
25．C【解析】考查连词辨析。
句意：——有人打电话找你。
——但是没有人知道我在这里呀。
因此空白处填But，表转折关系。
26．B【解析】考查动词词组辨析。
语意：我可以容忍房间里不整齐，但是我讨厌房间里脏。
put up with"容忍，忍受"，符合语意。
come up with "想出(办法)"，turn to"转向，求助于"，stick to"坚持"，都不符合语意。
27．B【解析】考查非谓语动词。
语意：后来，他看到房子的后面冒烟了。
smoke与rise之间存在着逻辑上的主谓关系，故用rise的现在分词形式作后置定语。
28．D【解析】考查倒装。
当Only+状语位于句首时，主句采用部分倒装语序，因此应把助动词did提到主句的主语之前。

试题分析：时态题目做题的关键在于把握动作或状态发生的时间。
本题要填入的是一个状态，为make no sense无意义，那么这个状态发生的时间是什么时候呢？题目的下半句话说，很多事情在明年都会发生变化，暗示没有意义这个状态是跟现在有关的，说明现在过早的做计划是没有意义的，因此选择表示现在状态的一般现在时。
句意为，过早的做计划是没有意义的，因为很多事情在明年都会发生变化。
24. I wasn’t sure if he was really interested or if he polite.A. was just beingB. will just beC. had just beenD. would just be答案：A确立考点：考察时态及连词用法。

2011年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（全国卷）英语第三部分阅读理解第一节A当牛奶来敲门20世纪60年代，我在新泽西州长大，当时，我们有一位送奶工会把牛奶送到我们家门口。
他的名字叫Basille先生。
他头戴着一顶白色帽子，开着一辆白色卡车。
对于一个5岁的孩子来说，我总是情不自禁地盯着他系在腰带上的自动换币机看。
有一天他在送奶时注意到了我这个行为，就从自动换币机里取出二十五分的硬币给了我。
当然,他送的不只是牛奶，还有奶酪、鸡蛋等等。
如果我们需要改变我们的订单，我母亲就写一个便条——“下次送奶时请增加一瓶酪乳”，然后连同空瓶一起放在箱子里。
所有的这些都不仅仅是便利，还有家家户户和他们的送奶工亲密的关系。
Basille先生甚至都有我们家的钥匙，因为有段日子外面太冷我们只好把奶箱放到室内，这样牛奶就不会冻住。
我记得Basille先生时不时在我家厨房餐桌旁歇息，喝杯茶，还一边讲述他送奶的故事。
难过的是，如今却没有送奶上门的服务了。
大公司获准生产价格更为便宜的牛奶，这使送奶工很难与其竞争。
此外，到处都有售卖牛奶的地方，这也还有，牛奶随处可买，因此，送奶服务可能就没有实用性了。
最近，我在农村看到的一个老旧的牛奶箱勾起了我对儿时的回忆。
我将它带了回来装在了后门的门廊上。
每每我儿子的朋友们问到这是什么的时候，我就跟他们讲起我孩提时候的故事，还有那个既给我们送来牛奶又为我们带来友谊的送奶工人的故事。
B似乎高大有其显而易见的不适之处，而矮小有其美好之处，尤其是在宾馆住宿和在餐馆就餐的时候。
六个月前为了发起满足高个子人群需求的运动而成立的“大不列颠高个子俱乐部”（TPCGB）已经将其目光聚焦到了宾馆和饭店。
这个俱乐部表示，宾馆里的床太小，淋浴喷头太低，饭店的桌子底下几乎没有放腿的空间，这些都给那些超出平均身高的人带来了很多生活上的困难。
然而，不仅仅是那些大高个儿们的需求得不到满足，现在人口的平均身高在不断上升，但是床铺、门廊、和椅子的尺寸却一直没有变化。

A．He wanted to have tea there.B．He was a respectable person.C．He was treated as a family member.D．He was fully trusted by the family.（3）Why does home milk delivery no longer exist?A．Nobody wants to be a milkman now.B．It has been driven out of the market.C．Its service is getting poor.D．It is forbidden by law.（4）Why did the author bring back home an old milk box?A．He missed the good old days.B．He wanted to tell interesting stories.C．He needed it for his milk bottles.D．He planted flowers in it.2、(8分)The word advertising refers to any kind of public announcement that brings products and services to the attention of people.Throughout history，advertising has been an effective way to promote（促进）the trading and selling of goods.In the Middle Ages，merchants employed “town criers” to read public messages aloud to promote their goods.When printing was invented in the fifteenth century，pages of advertisements（ads）could be printed easily and were either hung inpublic places or put in books.By the end of the seventeenth century，when newspapers were beginning to be read by more people，printed materials became an important way to promote products and services.The London Gazette was the first newspaper to set aside a place just for advertising.This was so successful that by the end of the century several companies started businesses for the purpose of making newspaper ads for merchants.Advertising spread quickly throughout the eighteenth century.Ad writers were starting to pay more attention to the design of the ad text.Everything，from clothes to drinks，was promoted with clever methods such as repetition of the firm's name or product，words organized in eyecatching patterns，the use of pretty pictures and expressions easy to remember.Near the end of the nineteenth century，companies that were devoted to the production of ads came to be known as“advertising agencies（广告商）．”The agencies developed new ways to get people to think of themselves as members of a group.Throughout the twentieth century，advertising agencies promoted consumerism（消费主义）as a way of life，spreading the belief that people could be happy only if they bought the “right”products.（1）What was advertising like in the Middle Ages?A．Merchants were employed to promote products.B．Ad messages were shouted out in public places.C．Product information was included in books.D．Ad signs were put up in towns.（2）What does the word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Advertising in newspapers.B．Including pictures in ads.C．Selling goods in markets.D．Working with ad agencies.（3）The 18th century advertising was special in its______.A．growing spendingB．printing materialsC．advertising companiesD．attractive designs（4）Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A．The Story of AdvertisingB．The Value of Advertising DesignsC．The Role of Newspaper AdvertisingD．The Development of Printing for Advertising3、(8分)While small may be beautiful，tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems，particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.The Tall Persons Club Great Britain（TPCGB），which was formed six months ago to campaign （发起运动）for the needs of the tall，has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants.Beds that are too small，shower heads that are too low，and restaurant tables with hardly any legroom all make life difficult for those of above average height，it says.But it is not just the extratall whose needs are not being met.The average height of the population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds，doorways，and chairs has remainedunchanged.“The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it，so even a king size bed at 6′6″（6 feet and 6 inches）is falling short for 25% of men，while the standard 6′3″ bed caters for（满足需要）less than half of the male（男性）population，“said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy，“Sevenfoot beds would work fine.”Similarly，restaurant tables can cause no end of problems.Small tables，which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them，are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.Some have already taken note，however.At Queens Moat Houses' Caledonian Hotel in Edinburgh,6′6″beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors，particularly Americans.（1）What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign?A．To provide better services.B．To rebuild hotels and restaurants.C．To draw public attention to the needs of the tall.D．To attract more people to become its members.（2）Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil Heinricy? A．7′2″.B．7′. C．6′6″.D．6′3″.（3）What may happen to restaurants with small tables?A．They may lose some customers.B．They may start businesses elsewhere.C．They have to find easy chairs to match the tables.D．They have to provide enough space for the longlegged.（4）What change has already been made in a hotel in Edinburgh?A．Tall people pay more for larger beds.B．6′6″beds have taken the place of 6′3″beds.C．Special rooms are kept for Americans.D．Guest rooms are standardized.4、(8分)Cassandra Feeley finds it hard to manage on her husband's income.So this year she did something more than a hobby（业余爱好）：She planted vegetables in her yard.For her first garden，Ms.Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants，and five rows of a variety of vegetables.The family's old farm house has become a chicken house，its residents arriving next st year，Ms.Rita Gartin kept a small garden.This year she has made it much larger because，she said，“The cost of everything is going up and I was looking to lose a few pounds，too；so it's a winwin situation all around.”They are among the growing number of Americans who，driven by higher living costs and a falling economy（经济），have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time.Others have increased the size of their existing gardens.Seed companies and garden shops say that not since the 1970s has there been such an increase in interest in growing food at home.Now many gardens across the country have been sold out for several months.In Austin，Tex.，some of the gardens have a threeyear waiting list.George C．Ball Jr.，owner of a company，said sales of vegetable seeds and plants are up by 40% over last year，double the average growth of the last five years.Mr.Ball argues that some of the reasons have been building for the last few years.The big one is the striking rise in the cost of foodlike bread and milk，together with the increases in the price of fruits and vegetables.Food prices have increased because of higher oil prices.People are now driving less，taking fewer vacations，so there is more time to garden.（1）What does the word “residents” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?A．chickens B．tomatoes C．gardens D．people（2）By saying “a winwin situation all around”，Ms.Gartin means that______.A．she is happier and her garden biggerB．she may spend less and lose weightC．she is selling more and buying lessD．she has grown more varieties of vegetables（3）Why is vegetable gardening becoming increasingly popular?A．More Americans are doing it for fun.B．The price of oil is lower than before.C．There's a growing need for fruits.D．The cost of living is on the rise.（4）Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A．Family Food Planning B．Banking on GardeningC．A Belttightening Move D．Gardening as a Hobby5、(8分)Wanted，Someone for a KissWe're looking for producers to join us on the sound of London Kiss 100 FM.You'll work on the station's music programmes.Music production experience in radio is necessary，along with rich knowledge of modern dance music.Please apply（申请）in writing to Producer Vacancies，Kiss 100.Father ChristmasWe're looking for a very special person，preferably over 40，to fill our Father Christmas suit.

At first I thought it was a crazy 39 because I didn’t have a good sense of balance nor did I have the 40 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “41 for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give it a try.Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 42 of it. When I first started 43 the practice sessions. I didn’t even know the rules of the game much 44 what I was doing.

I got a taste of the dream in 2001, when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community (社区)announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have. I decided to write about mydream.In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating Gorge Bush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health . A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it. Inspired by this. I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.On June 11,2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened-I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute (降落伞), then we just floated downward for about five minutes . Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt-much better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it.Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something that is possible, make it happen.56. What happened to the author in 2001?A. She flew an airplane.B. She entered a competition.C. She went on a hot air balloon ride.D.

I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from there devices(设备)and truly communicate with others.On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule-no laptops, iPads, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on out information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course material and the class discussion.I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroomI’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.63. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy withA. the course materialB. other s’ misuse of technologyC. discussion topicsD. the author’s class regulations64. The underlined word “engage” in Para.4 probably means .A. exploreB. AcceptC. ChangeD. reject65. According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may .A. keep students from doing independent thinkingB. encourage students to have in-depth conversationsC. help students to better understand complex themesD. affect students’ concentration on course evaluation66. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author.A. is quite stubbornB. will give up teaching historyC. will change his teaching plan soonD. values technology-free dialogues in his classDAs the railroads and the highways shaped the American West in the past centuries, a new electrical generating(发电)and transmission (输送) system for the 21th century will leave a lasting mark on the West, for better or worse. Much of the real significance of railroads and highways is not in their direct physical effect on the scenery, but in the ways that they affect the surrounding community. The same is true of big solar plants and the power lines that will be laid down to move electricity around.The 19th century saw land grants(政府拨地) offered to railroad companies to build the transcontinental railroads, leaving public land in between privately owned land. In much of the West, some of the railroad sections were developed while others remained undeveloped, and in both cases the landownership has presented unique challenges to land management. With the completion of the interstate highway system, many of the small towns, which sprang up as railway stops and developed well, have lost their lifeblood and died.Big solar plants and their power lines will also have effects far beyond their direct footprint in the West. This is not an argument against building them. We need alternative energy badly, and to really take advantage of it we need to be able to move electricity around far more readily than we can now.So trade-offs will have to be made. Some scenic spots will be sacrificed. Some species(物种) will be forced to move, or will be carefully moved to special accommodations. Deals will be struck to reduce the immediate effects.The lasting effects of these trade-offs are another matter. The 21th century development of the American West as an ideal place for alternative energy is going to throw off a lot of power and money in the region. There are chances for that power and money to do a lot of good. But it is just as likely that they will be spent wastefully and will leave new problems behind, just like the railroads and the highways.The money set aside in negotiated trade-offs and the institutions that control it will shape the West far beyond the immediate footprint of power plants and transmission lines. So let’s remember the effects of the railroads and the highways as we construct these new power plants in the West.67. What was the problem caused by the construction of the railways?A. Small towns along the railways became abandoned.B. Some railroad stops remained underused.C. Land in the West was hard to manage.D. Land grants went into private hands.68. What is the major concern in the development of alternative energy according to the last two paragraphs?A. The transmission of power.B. The use of money and power.C. The conservation of solar energy.D. The selection of an ideal place.69. What is the author’s attitude towards building solar plants?A. CautiousB. ApprovingC. DoubtfulD. Disapproving70. Which is the best title for the passage?A. How the Railways Have Affected the WestB. How Solar Energy Could Reshape the WestC. How the Effects of Power Plants Can Be ReducedD. How the Problems of the Highways Have Been Settled根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
