北京2012年高级中等学校英语试题及答案【7】
北京2012年高级中等学校英语试题及答案【7】DReading Oliver James'Affluenza,I thought about what often happens at home.My 12-year-ole daughter is in tears."I have so take a test tomorrow.I don't understand any of it,"she cries out.After shouting and shutting her door,she calms down enough to go through her notes.The following dry I ask her how the test went and the just says"OK,I got a nine"."Wow.well done!"I say,before she finishes with "But I never get a ten!"According to James,this obsession with getting top marks has been a bad development,which encourages people to think of education in terms of work and money.T o test this,I asked my daughter why she was so worried about her tests.She looked at me as if I was thick."Well,if I don't get good grades,I won't be able to afford nice things like a car and stuff."I was quite surprised,because I don't consider myself a pushy parent.But James suggests and it leaves students feeling failures even if they are very bright.He points to the Danish system（体制）of education as a better model.Creating happy citizens who have good social skills is seen as more important than high achievements at school or the needs of business.For me,I cannot remember the last time I had to work out the area of a circle,recite a Shakespeare poem or grammar rules,yet I have lived a happy life.What I really needed to learn at school was how to make polite conversations,or how to avoid getting into debt or how to develop good personality.This is in fact similar to what Oliver James really has in mind.And he is looking for schools where students areencouraged to find and follow their own interests,something more like Tongjon.Tongjon has been developed in some Korean private schools.It is quite different from the more rigid system of learning things by heart that is used in Korea,and indeed in many other school systems around the world.As the Russian poet Pushkin said,"Inspiration(灵感）is needed in geometry(几何学）just as much as in poetry ",and inspiration does not come from endlessly revising for tests or getting worried about them .56.What does the writer probably think of his/her daughter?A.She sets herself a goal too high to reach.B.She should be more polite to her parents.C.Sheis hard-working but not very bright.D.She takes her grades much too seriously.57.What does the word "obsession"in paragraph 3 mean?A.A plain and unavoidable fact.B.A satisfied and very proud state.C.A practical and widely-used way.D.A fixed and often unreasonable idea.58.What can we infer from the passage?A.Social skills are as important as high grades.B.Interest in grades can shake self-confidence.C.The writer regrets not having studied hard at school.D. Danish educational system is for very smart students.59.The writer wants to tell us that____.。

At first, when ever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you, that you had changed your mind and that this was all a ba d dream．My beloved master, I will think of you and wait for you forev er．I hope you receive more faithfulness from your family than you showed to me．浏览完整试题56．Who tells this story?A．A dog． B．A child．C．A dog's owner． D ．A dog trainer57．Why did the dog's owner take his dog to the pound?A．He had a newborn baby．B．His wife did not lik e the dog．C．He was moving into a new building．D．He though t the dog too troublesome．58．Which is true about the dog when it lived at the pound?A．It hoped to be adopted by another family．B．It contin ued to love its former owner．C．It did not trust humans any more． D．It was excite d about the pound．59．What is the theme of the story?A．Be ready for changes．B．Never expect too m uch．C．Never complain about your life． D．Be faithful to those who love you．BPresent or Future?Americans are future-minded．They really live in the future．The present is just a way station． This enthusiasm for the future is really not shared eve n by all European countries．The French are known to be prese nt-minded while the British are often called past-minded．For Japanese Zen followers, time is like a pool of water ．Things just happen．There is no past, present or future．Egyp tians are well known for their past mindedness．I did not grow up with a telephone．So the Yellow Pages w ere something brand new for me when I first arrived in the U．S ．．I still had the habit of going to a store only to find out that i t didn't have what I needed．My wife used to ask , Didn't you ca ll before going there? The concept of calling ahead of time requ ires planning and a future mind, while my upbringing was in a p resent-minded culture．One thing my nuclear family enjoys when my mom visits is her cooking．So normally I ask my mom a couple of days in adv ance what things she needs for the upcoming meals．She is alw ays sure that she has everything．The truth is that many times, i n the middle of cooking, she will ask for items we don't have．T hat shows a present mind．You deal with it when you get there instead of doing advanced planning．Listening to weather forecasts and then living your life acco rdingly is a sign of a future mind． Normally, when I get to work and see everyone walking around with their umbrellas, I figure that it will rain today．Here people are trained from their childh ood to figure out at least that day's expected weather before le aving the house．I am normally missing my umbrella because it was not raining and the sky did not have dark clouds．Here my present mind gets me wetevery time．Mainstream Americans have put inside themselves the clock to a degree which is beyond the comprehension of many cult ures across the globe．So the annoyance many Americans face when working with people from other cultures is understandabl e．In today's dialogue, building the bridge to the 21st century may turn out to be easier than building bridges with other cultu res, which may appear to be so foreign．However, they are vital partners for our interdependent life on this planet．60．The author was most likely born in ____．A．America B．France C．Britain D．Egypt61．Which is true about the author?A．He was more future-minded than his mother．B．He received most of his education in Japan．C．He learned to check the weather before going out．D．He disliked calling the store before

Jensen said the operation was a great success which had saved her life．Thirteen days after the surgery she said her first words: Good morning, I want to go home．It is the first ti me a voice box and windpipe have been transplanted at the sa me time and only the second time a voice box has ever been tra nsplanted．展开余下试题Ms．Jensen, 52, had been unable to speak on her own since her voice box was damaged during surgery in 1999．Since then, sh e has been unable to taste or smell food, could breathe only thr ough a hole in her windpipe and could talk only with the help of an electronic voice box．In October, surgeons at the University of California Davis M edical Centre removed the voice box and 6cm of the windpipe fr om a donor body．In an 18-hour operation, this was transplanted into Ms．Jensen's throat a nd the team connected it to her blood supply and nerves （神经）．Professor Martin Birchall from University College London, w ho was part of the surgery team, said: We've learned that we can repair nerves to make even very complex organs function agai n． It'll open the door to better facial transplants and will be ext remely important as tissue engineering develops．A voice box transplant might be life changing, but it is not li fe saving．Everyone who receives a transplant must take drugs to control the immune system （免疫系统） for the rest of their lives． These drugs can reduce life expe ctancy, so they are normally set aside for life saving procedures．One of the reasons Ms．Jensen was a suitable person for th is transplant was that she was already taking immune controlling drugs after a kidney-pancreas transplant four years ago．Professor Peter Belafsky , p art of the surgical team, said: Brenda was an exceptional candid ate for the transplant because she was highly motivated．Anyo ne who's met Brenda knows that she is a strong and determined person with a great outlook on life in spite of the many physica l challenges she's faced over her lifetime．63．The voice

a body? That was the opening line of more than a few phone calls I got from self-employed photographers when I was a photo editor at U．S．N ews．Like many in the mainstream press, I wanted to separate the world of photographers into hem ,who trade in pictures of b odies or run after famous people like Princess Diana, and us ,the serious newspeople．But after 16 years in that role, I came to w onder whether the two worlds were easily distinguishable．Working in the reputable world of journalism, I told photog raphers to cover other people's difficult life situations．I justifie d marching into moments of sadness, under the appearance of t he reader's right to know．I worked with professionals talking t heir way into situations or shooting from behind police lines．A nd I wasn't alone．In any American town, after a car crash or some other horri ble incident when ordinary people are hurt or killed, you rarely s ee photographers pushing past rescue workers to take photos o f the blood and injuries．But you are likely to see local newspap er and television photographers on the scene –and fast ．．．How can we justify doing this?

2012年高考北京卷语文参考答案及解析
2012年高考北京卷语文参考答案及解析一，基础知识1、【答案】A【解析】B仗义执言，蹙（cù）额，C再接再厉，百舸（ɡě）争流，D绿草如茵，乳臭（xiù）未干。
2、【答案】C【解析】A“高雅、时尚、方便”不属于“功能和作用”，搭配不当。
B“依据……结果”或“……结果显示”保留一个即可，句式杂糅。
D“营造”缺少宾语中心语，成分残缺。
3、【答案】D【解析】“必须”只能做状语不能做定语，因此第一空只能是“必需”。
“胆固醇在小肠的吸收”只能“（控）制”不能“（制）止”，因此第二空只能是“抑制”。
第三空所支配的宾语是“心血管病的发生”，中心语是“发生”，“发生”只能“防止”但没法“防治”。
4、【答案】B【解析】此题先看选项，第一空只有②③两种可能，比较之下，必然选②，排除C、D。
再看第二空，只有③④两种可能，但如果填入③，则这一句内部已经前后矛盾，因此只能填④，由此即可得到正确答案。
5、【答案】C【解析】“多用对偶骈散相间”不是前述所有文学体裁的共同特点，例如“骈散相间”就不能用以形容《诗经》和唐诗等体裁。
二，文言文阅读6、【答案】B【解析】此处“竟”应该是表示结果的副词“终于”“最终”“终究”，而并不表示出乎意料，因此不可能是“竟然”。
7、【答案】D【解析】A两个“舍”都是动词“收容”“安置”的意思。
B两个“然”都是转折连词“然而”“但是”。
C两个“为”都是表被动的介词“被”。
D前“以”是表反问的“何以……为”结构的一部分，“何以报为”就是“要回报干什么呢”的意思，后“以”表修饰。
尽管前“以”不好翻译，但后“以”用法比较明确，用代入比较法即可知道两“以”不同。
8、【答案】D【解析】“寄其里人家”译为“寄送给景淳家”有误。
从下文可知，李疑是写信让范景淳的两个儿子来取包裹的，因此之前肯定没有寄送包裹的事情。
此处的“寄”是“寄存”的意思，“其里人家”指的是李疑的邻居家。
9、【答案】C【解析】文中说“不取其报”是说李疑不要这个妇人报答，不是“此人不知感恩”。

as soon as he heard about Mark．"Better get the helicopter in there，"he said immediately，But Jeff wasn't sure about that because everything got unclear and then went black and quiet．Hours later，Jeff

before．Experts show great concern for teen texting．Students might not learn correct grammar and spelling if they write a lot of text messages．Also all that texting takes away from hours that could be spent studying，exercising，pursuing hobbies，or talking with others face to face．Some kids even sleep with their phones beneath their pillows and wake up several times during the night to text．Dr．Elizabeth Dowdell points out teens need to learn that they can﹣and should﹣turn off their phones sometimes．She and her team had two teenagers，Kenny and Franchesca，carry out an experiment．They should obey the rules：No phone for 48 hours．No computer or Internet either，unless it was for schoolwork．Would these two teenagers be able to do it？"I think I'm going to feel really alone，"Kenny worried．Franchesca was nervous but brave．"I'm excited for the challenge，"she said．"I don't know what's going to happen．"They handed their phones to their mothers for safekeeping．The challenge was on．The team caught up with Kenny and Franchesca after 48 phone﹣free hours．"Wow，it was pure suffering，"Kenny joked．"Though life with no phone wasn't easy，"he admitted，"it had benefits．I felt less stressed because I didn't have to be involved．"Sure，Kenny missed his friends，and he was sad at times．But he also felt relief from the constant texting．Instead of texting，Kenny went to the gym and caught up on schoolwork．He said that the first night he slept for 10 hours．He also spent time sitting with his family and talking．"I felt closer to my parents，"said Kenny．Franchesca had an even happier result when she put away her phone．"I loved it!"she said．"I was going to the gym and hanging out with friends and playing basketball．I had a wonderful experience．"She slept better too，and she decided to continue the experiment for a while．"I think I'll be so much smarter and healthier，"she explained．"Everybody in the world should try it．"Kenny doesn't plan to give up his phone again．But he

and professional mistakes and setbacks，I felt fortunate that I hadn't made that many mistakes in my own life．Those women had lost thousands in investments，started companies but failed，sold companies that later ended up being worth millions，and lost partners in the name of business．Despite knowing that they had，in fact，bounced back and were again doing very well，I was starting to feel sorry for them．Then，as if someone whispered in my ear，I heard the words： "Don't be so proud of yourself．You haven't made any mistakes because you haven't lived at all．Look how boring your life is．" Whose voice was this，and how dare it speak to me like thatI think，for the first time，I heard my own heart speak．It shook me to my core，and it took all I had to keep from crying．I started thinking of the mistakes I had made．The voice was right．There weren't many at all．I had followed a straight path for 38 years．I went to school，earned bachelor's and master's degrees with honors，and stayed at every job I'd had far longer than it was professionally beneficial for me to do so．In fact，at 38，I had only had three jobs． "The devil （魔鬼） you know is better than the one you don't " was my motto．A quick review of my life made me realize that it was the actions I hadn't taken that I was suddenly regretting．I hadn't studied abroad．I hadn't risked love．In fact，I was perpetually single．I hadn't started a business．I hadn't traveled enough．I had said "no" far more than "yes"．The voice that whispered to me continued to the New Year．It was like it laughed at me．The thought of turning forty frightened me．It's one thing to be unhappy and unsettled in your twenties，and perhaps even in one's thirties．But was Igoing to start a new decade with the same boredom I needed something to pick me up，some activity I could look forward to．（1）How did the author feel when first hearing stories from the 5 speakers？A．Regretful．B．Surprised．C．Lucky．D．Guilty．（2）The author felt like crying during the conference because she realized ．A．she hadn't lived her life to the fullestB．she was deeply touched by the womenC．she had nothing to be proud of in her lifeD．she had made a lot of mistakes in her life（3）What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 probably mean？A．The familiar devil is more frightening．B．Saying "no" is better than saying "yes"．C．It's better to stay within the comfort zone．D．You'd better change your job more frequently．（4）From the passage，we can learn that the author ．A．felt afraid of ageingB．traveled abroad a lotC．was married in her thirtiesD．decided to do something new4．（2016北京•朝阳高三期末）When school started on that warm August day， I threw myself into everything I did，including playing volleyball．I decided to become beautiful，or at the very least，skinny．I stopped eating completely． Soon I began losing weight， which thrilled me， and I even grew to love the tiredness and lightheadedness that came with my poor diet， for those feelings meant that I was winning．As the season progressed， things had become tense between my head volleyball coach， Coach Smith， and me． She felt that something was wrong with my health． She talked with me about my eating and was angry that I wouldn't listen to her when she tried to make me eat． She tried to persuade me in a determined way and so we fought constantly． Then my hunger started to affect my performance． I was so tired that practice and games were becoming a struggle． One afternoon，with hurt in her eyes， Coach Smith asked me what I had eaten and I told her nothing yet， but I was going to． She looked at me， disappointment in her eyes， knowing she couldn't make me stop， and walked away．A couple of weeks later I attended a formal dinner for our volleyball team． I stood there as my coach managed to say something nice about me． I realized then that I had ruined my senior year by being disrespectful， and I had probably ruined hers as well． So that evening I wrote her a letter apologizing and thanking her．Then one Saturday， as I was reading in the library， I felt someone gently take my arm and say softly， "Lynn Jones，how are you doing" I looked up and saw the familiar face． "Thanks for the letter，" she said． "It meant a lot．"When I think of a coach， I think of someone above me， someone who gives instruction﹣not a friend． But Coach Smith is different， and， like any other good friend， she dealt with my problem in a determined way even when I hated her for it at that time． I didn't deserve her kindness， but she gave it anyway． I will forever be grateful for her help， and now for her friendship．（1）When the author ate a poor diet and had a sense of tiredness， she felt．A． stupidB． proudC． funnyD． nervous（2）The author fought with Coach Smith because．A． she refused to go on a dietB． she caused failure of her teamC． she changed the training courseD． she kept her idea of losing weight（3）Why did the author write a letter to Coach Smith？A． She felt sorry for eating too little food．B． She decided to improve

industry？The answer to that question might seem highly personal，based on factors like whether or not you are a competitive person and how much you enjoy a challenge．In fact，there's another strong factor at play：People from different cultures react very differently to that question．The psychologists from the University of Michigan asked people theoretical questions about the decisions they take．Specifically，the researchers compared people with East Asian backgrounds and European American backgrounds．They found that Americans are much more likely to favor being a big fish in a small pond．East Asians，and specifically Chinese people，are much more likely than Americans to lean towards being a smaller fish in a bigger pond．Researchers first asked 270 students at a large American university whether they would rather be a"big fish in a small pond"or the opposite．Of the students with East Asian American backgrounds，three quarters said they'd rather be a small fish，compared with just under 60% of students with European American backgrounds who said the same．The researchers then compared American and Chinese adults．They asked the participants whether they would rather attend a top university but perform below average，and whether they would rather work for a top global company but do less well in comparison to their peers．Over half the Chinese adults chose the famous university，compared with just a third of Americans．In the case of the firms，well over half of people from both groups chose to do better at a less well﹣known firm，but Chinese people were still more likely to choose being a"small fish"than were Americans．The final experiment sought to discover how American and Chinese people made judgments about whether they were succeeding．They found that Chinese people were more likely to compare their performance to the performance of people in other groups．Americans，meanwhile，were more likely to compare themselves to people within the same group，to judge whether or not they were doing well．In East Asian cultures，it's"not enough that you know you're doing well in your school，"said Kaidi Wu，a PhD student in psychology who led the research．"It is much more important that other people﹣an outsider，a family relative，a future employer who has five seconds to glance through your resume﹣also recognize your academic excellence．"America is the opposite："Think about how many times themes like‘You are your own person'or‘Stop worrying about what other people think'course through song lyrics and self﹣help books，"Wu said，concluding："The choices we make are the products of our culture．"67．The psychologists from the University of Michigan find that．A．Americans tend to achieve success in a big companyB．Chinese are likely to perform better in a big companyC．Americans prefer to shine in a relatively small companyD．Chinese are comfortable with working in a small company68．The final experiment aims to．A．compare different attitudes towards competitionB．find different views about personal successC．judge performances of different groupsD．confirm which culture is better69．A Chinese student will be more satisfied if he gains recognition from．A．his neighborsB．his classmatesC．his teachersD．his parents70．According to Kaidi Wu，culture．A．plays a key role in people's choice makingB．shows who we grow up to be in the futureC．is the most important factor behind successD．determines students'academic performance．6．（2015北京•海淀高三期末）Does happiness have a scent？When someone is happy，can you smell it？You can usually tell when someone is happy based on seeing them smile，hearing them laugh or perhaps from receiving a big hug．But can you also smell their happiness？Surprising new research suggests that happiness does indeed have a scent，and that the experience of happiness can be transmitted through smell，reports Phys．org．For the study，12 young men were shown videos meant to bring about a variety of emotions while researchers gathered sweat samples from them．All of the men were healthy and none of them were drug users or smokers，and all were asked to abstain from drinking or eating smelly foods during the study period．Those sweat samples were then given to 36 equally healthy young women to smell，while researchers monitored their reactions．Only women were selected to smell the samples，apparently because previous research has shown that women have a better sense of smell than men and are also more sensitive to emotional signaling﹣though it's unclear why only men were chosen to produce the scents．Researchers found that the behavior of the women after smelling the scents﹣particularly their facial expressions﹣indicated a relationship between the emotional states of the men who produced the sweat and the women who sniffed them．"Human sweat produced when a person is happy brings about a state similar to happiness in somebody who breathes this smell，"said study co﹣author Gun Semin，a professor at Koc University in Turkey．This is a fascinating finding because it not only means that happiness does have a scent，but that the scent is capable of transmitting the emotion to others．The study also found that other emotions，such as fear，seem to carry a scent too．This ensures previous research suggesting that some negative emotions have a smell，but it is the first time this has proved to be true of positive feelings．Researchers have yet to isolate（分离） exactly what the chemical compound for the happiness smell is，but you might imagine what the potential applications for such a finding could be．Happiness perfumes，for instance，could be invented．Scent therapies（香味疗法）could also be developed to help people through depression or anxiety．Perhaps the most surprising result of the study，however，is our broadened understanding of how emotions get communicated，and also how our own emotions are potentially managed through our social context and the emotional states of those around us．63．What is the main finding of the new research？A．Men produce more sweats．B．Negative emotions have a smell．C．Pleasant feelings can be smelt out．D．Women have a better sense of smell．64．The underlined part"abstain from"in Paragraph 3 probably means ．A．avoid B．practice C．continue D．try65．What is the application value of the new research？A．Perfumes could help people understand each other．B．Some smells could be developed to better our mood．C．Perfumes could be produced to cure physical diseases．D．Some smells could be created to improve our appearance．66．We can learn from the last paragraph that ．A．happiness comes from a scent of sweatB．positive energy can deepen understandingC．people need more emotional communicationD．social surroundings can influence our emotions7．（2014北京•西城高三期末）Do we really know our best friends？I like my close friends a lot，and yet，on an almost daily basis，they shocked me．I have a friend who thinks voting is a waste of time； I have another friend who never takes any arrangement to meet at a given time and place seriously．It's generally held that friends are people with whom we choose to develop relationships because we find their personalities agreeable，or similar to our own，and yet experience regularly contradicts this．What is a friend，really？All that one can safely say is that a friend is someone one likes and wishes to see again．The truth is that we don't know our friends．Numerous studies show that we tend to assume our friends agree with us more than they really do．The striking part is that the problem doesn't appear to lessen as a friendship deepens．When the researchers Michael Gill and Bill Swann questioned students sharing rooms，they found that，as time passed，people became even more confident in the accuracy of their judgments about the other，and yet，in reality，the judgments grew no more accurate．Two people might become dear friends，yet remain ignorant about vast areas of each other's inner lives．This seems strange，until you consider，that many of the benefits that friendship provides don't necessarily depend on perfect familiarity；they come from something closer to reliability．Friendship may be less about being drawn to someone's personality than about finding someone willing to keep you company，or lend an ear．A friend provides the"social﹣identity support"we desire．You needn't be a close match with someone，nor deeply familiar with their mind．And once a friendship has begun，you want to like it，if only to confirm that you made the right decision．We don't want to know everything about our friends．We don't base friendships on what we learn about people； we decide what to learn about people，and what to ignore，based on having decided to be friends．Perhaps there's something moving aboun ways tht viewing friendship as an agreement to keep each other company，ignore each other's faults and not probe （刨根问底） too deeply iat might weaken the friendship．Perhaps a true friend is someone who doesn't ask many awkward questions．67．Why does the author tell the stories of his two friends in the first paragraph？A．To provide background information．B．To introduce the topic of the passage．C．To stress the importance of friendship．D．To show the difference between friends．68．The underlined word"they"in Paragraph 4refers to．A．friendsB．judgmentsC．researchersD．benefits69．It can be concluded from the passage that．A．close friends usually know each other in depthB．real friends are people you like but don't wish to see oftenC．we do not necessarily share personalities with close friendsD．the longer we stay with friends，the more accurately we judge them70．Which statement about friends will the author probably accept？A．Stay friends but keep a distance．B．It takes a long time to grow an old friend．C．Real friends will tell you when your face is dirty．D．True friends know all about you and still like you．8．（2016北京•东城高三期末）I left home to support my sister in her efforts to present a music festival． She lives on the other side of the world， and I went to visit her， not wanting to leave and feeling like I was leaving home against my will． However， I wanted to show her my support because she is my only sister．So I boarded the plane in mid﹣August， and hated the long flight． I arrived， tired and hungry． I had left my husband of 2 years， alone， in our old New Orleans house．I was all set and ready to perform for my sister for the music festival on Sunday morning when I received a call from Chicago． The hurricane was predicted to hit our city， and many people had already evacuated，but my husband chose to stay behind． He could not get a call to me on the other side of the world，but he could call his cousin in Chicago． He gave his cousin a message for me， that he would be just fine， and not to worry．As the day wore on， I finally took the stage in front of hundreds of Europeans， and I realized， thanks to CNN， that New Orleans was under water．I performed， hoping that my husband would survive． And I performed perfectly． The audience stood and applauded． I left the stage and went straight to the TV． I saw the street sign near my home， of Humanity Street， but nothing below it，except water．In the days that followed， I found out that my house， my car， my clothes， my furniture， everything that I'd left behind was gone…but not my husband． He survived by riding on the rear bumper（后保险杠）of a VW bus， holding on to the overhead luggage rack， in the pouring rain， down the highway from New Orleans， half﹣way to Baton Rouge． The rest of the journey was a long walk， but he survived．By the first week of September， I flew back to the Baton Rouge airport， and hugged my husband． Since then， our relationship has grown deeper； we have completely rebuilt our house， bought a new car， bought new furniture and new clothes and joined an inspirational， spirit﹣filled community．（1）Why did the author leave home？A． To look after her sister．B． To attend a music festival．C． To watch a performance．D． To visit her husband's cousin．（2）How

brother and I sat under the tree．"Hi，Jason，"said my brother，Chad．"Do you hear the train？"I listened，but I heard only thunder in the distance．It was still miles away，but I heard it．It grew stronger and louder as it gained speed and got closer．How could that be？I wondered．We were about to grab our bikes to see what it actually was when we stopped．What looked like a flock of birds darkened the sky overhead．When I looked at it closer，I realized it wasn't birds．It was a tornado（龙卷风）．The hairs on the back of my neck stood up as the air turned green and heavy．The sun disappeared．The wind strengthened and roared．I grabbed Chad's arm and pulled him toward the house．I tried to open the door，but it was as if an invisible force pushed against me．The door refused to open．When we finally managed to get inside，we found it was as dark as night．Our family had practiced a tornado safety plan many times．But I had never imagined that it would be just Chad and me at home the first time we needed to use it．"Inside the closet!"I yelled．It was small and crowded，but we got in it anyway．Chad began to cry．"It's going to be all right．"I told him．But I was worried about Mom．I hope she'd found a safe place to wait out the storm．The storm continued to rage．I heard a thud on the roof．The whole house creaked and groaned．Then it was quiet．I opened the door and we inched our way out of the closet．Rain had got in through the open window and wet the carpets．A kitchen window had shattered，its screen blown away．I looked at the backyard．The tree was uprooted，and broken branches lay on the ground．"Jason，I can't get service，"Chad said as he held the phone in his hand．We had no electricity，either．I glanced at the wall clock．Had it been only 20 minutes since we'd first heard the thunder？Then I heard footsteps toward the house．Mom had made it home safely．"Boys!"she yelled．"Are you all right？"We ran out and hugged her．The sun came out，and this time it shone bright and clear．56．When the tornado struck，．A．the boys felt terrified and asked for helpB．a flock of birds darkened the sky overheadC．the boys protected themselves in a safe placeD．the sound of the train grew stronger and louder57．What can we learn from the passage？A．Mom had trouble in finding the boys．B．Jason knew how to deal with a tornado．C．The tornado lasted for over half an hour．D．Their house was flooded by the heavy rain．58．Which of the following words can best describe Jason？A．Calm and thoughtful．B．Cautious and curious．C．Dependent and sensitive．D．Creative and active．10．（2015北京•海淀高三期末）Conventional wisdom is a major barrier to innovation that threatens the survival of companies everywhere．It's based on the assumption that old ideas will always work，so they shouldn't be challenged．While this may be a valid assumption in situations that don't change，it's unlikely to hold true in a changing situation．In today's rapid changing global environment，old methods often don't work，and stubbornly using them can lead to major problems．Most people seem to agree with conventional wisdom because it gives one a false sense of security．If everyone else believes it，then it must be true．Individuals who use conventional wisdom are certain that they are right，and being right is good．They want to continue using old ideas rather than take risks with changes that might not work．In 1977，Ken Olsen，co﹣founder and CEO of Digital Equipment Corporation （DEC），stated"There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in his hoe．"Despite being a dominant leader in the computer industry，DEC no longer exists．People seem to forget that since innovation is a change，there can be no inovation without change．Unfortunately，conventional wisdom prevents leaders，followers and companies from changing and therefore innovating．If companies don't innovate，but their competitors do，the future is likely to be problematic．Breaking from conventional wisdom has

A The Basics of Math—Made Clear Basic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas. These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数) and beyond. The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically. Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing—and completely understandable—field of study. By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math. They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges. Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best math teacher in America,” is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious. From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is master in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less scary. With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr.Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College. His courses include various make-up classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers. If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer. Or you can get your money back.

2012年高考北京卷阅读理解真题附答案详解(全网最精解析版)
2012年高考北京卷阅读理解真题附答案详解（全网最精解析版）Decision-making under StressA new review based on a research shows that acute stress affects the way the brain considers the advantages and disadvantages, causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative (负面的) consequences of a decision.The research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in predictable wa ys.“Stress affects how people learn,” says Professor Mara Mather. “People learn better about po sitive than negative outcomes under stress.”For example, two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images(影像) with either rewards or punishments. In one experiment, some of the participants were first stre ssed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience; in the othe r, some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water. In both cases, the stressed partici pants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than those who hadn’t gone through the stress.This phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or s moking a cigarette while under stress –at those moments, only the pleasure associated with such a ctivities comes to mind. But the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a double effec t. Not only are rewarding experiences remembered better, but negative consequences are also easil y recalled.The research also found that stress appears to affect decision-making differently in men and women. While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences under stre ss, their responses to risk turn out to be different.Men who had been stressed by the cold-water task tended to take more risks in the experimen t while women responded in the opposite way. In stressful situations in which risk-taking can pay off big, men may tend to do better, when caution weighs more, however, women will win.This tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also h elp explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men: they may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction.（350 words）64. We can learn from the passage that people under pressure tend to ______.A. keep rewards better in their memoryB. recall consequences more effortlesslyC. make risky decisions more frequentlyD. learn a subject more effectively65. According to the research, stress affects people most probably in their ______.A. ways of making choicesB. preference for pleasureC. tolerance of punishmentsD. responses to suggestions66. The research has proved that in a stressful situation, ______.A. women find it easier to fall into certain habitsB. men have a greater tendency to slow downC. women focus more on outcomesD. men are more likely to take risks答案与解析：64. A. 本题属于细节理解题，根据题干可以定位到文章第一段，“causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative consequences of a decision”可知答案A选项正确。

2012年高考北京卷语文试题参考答案及解析
2012年高考北京卷语文试题参考答案及解析一、基础知识（15分）1、【答案】A【解析】B、蹙．（chù）额——蹙（cù）额。
C、再接再励．——再接再厉．；百舸．（kě）争流——百舸．（ɡě）争流。
D、绿草如荫．——绿草如茵．；乳臭．（chòu）未干——乳臭（xiù）未干。
2、【答案】C【解析】A、“它采用语言输入、太阳能供电”缺宾语（中心语）。
“高雅、时尚、方便”不属于“功能和作用”，搭配不当（不合逻辑）。
B、“依据……结果”或“……结果显示”句式杂糅，保留一个即可。
D、成分残缺，“营造”缺少宾语（中心语）。
3、【答案】D【解析】必须VS必需：必须：副词，只能做状语，不能做定语；必需：形容词，作定语，不能做状语。
因此第一空只能是“必需”。
抑制VS抑止：抑制：①控制约束行为或意识，使不能为所欲为。
②在医学上把与兴奋对立的状态称为抑制。
抑止：抑制使停止、结束。
有对结果的侧重。
“胆固醇在小肠的吸收”只能“（控）制”不能“（制）止”，因此第二空只能是“抑制”。
2008年9月23日《牛城晚报》B7版《石榴系乡思》一文第一段“一下子勾起我思乡的念头，不可抑止地回首往事”中“抑止”一词，根据文意应为“抑制”。
防治VS防止：防治：预防和治疗。
防止：防备制止。
第三空所支配的宾语是“心血管病的发生”，中心语是“发生”，“发生”只能“防止”但没法“防治”。
另外，用于“防治”的一般是药物，而“菜籽油”不是药物。
4、【答案】B【解析】此题先看选项，第一空只有②③两种可能，比较之下，必然选②，排除C、D。
再看第二空，只有③④两种可能，但如果填入③，则这一句内部已经前后矛盾，因此只能填④，由此即可得到正确答案。
5、【答案】C【解析】“多用对偶，骈散相间，错落有致”不是前述所有文学体裁“《诗经》、《楚辞》”和“唐宋诗词”的共同特点，例如“骈散相间”就不能用于《诗经》和唐诗等体裁，“错落有致”也不能用于唐宋的格律诗（近体诗：绝句、律诗、排律等）。

22. By the time you have finished this book, your meal ______ cold.A. getsB. has gotC. will getD. is getting【答案】C【解析】本题旨在考查时间状语从句中的主将从现，需要注意的是高中阶段从句常为现在完成时，表示该动作发生在主句动作之前，可在翻译时加入"已经"的含义。
句意：等你读完这本书时，饭就已经凉了。
23. One learns a language by making mistakes and ______ them.A. correctsB. correctC. to correct【答案】D【解析】本题是道陷阱题，从选项中乍一看是在考查非谓语动词，但实际上是考查考生对于and连接的成分分析。

Passage 1Our child's behavior is greatly influenced by the way we react to what he has done. Our reactions help to determine whether our child will repeat his behavior or whether he will do something different. This statement is a very important part of a principle of behavioral psychology.The principle states that a behavior is influenced or affected by how the environment ---- people, places and things ---- immediately responds to the behavior. Perhaps without realizing it, you have used this principle many times.On the occasion when you told your child what a good boy he was after he cleaned up his room, you used the principle. When you sent your child to his room for fighting with his brother, you used the principle. When I gave Kim a cookie after she started to cry, I used the principle. In each of these examples, a particular behavior occurred first ---- cleaning up a room, fighting, and crying.In addition, there was a reaction to each behavior ---- the child was praised, sent to his room, or given a cookie. By these actions, we have influenced the previous behaviors and have helped to determine whether those behaviors will occur again in the future.我们孩子的行为很大程度上是被我们对他所做事情的反应来影响的。
007版2012年12月英语六级阅读真题(全三套及答案详解)
2012年12月英语六级第一套深度阅读真题Section BPassage OneQuestions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.Who's poor in America? That's a question hard to answer. Hard because there's no conclusive definition of poverty. Low income matters, though how low is unclear. Poverty is also a state of mind that fosters self-defeating behavior-bad work habits, family breakdowns, and addictions. Finally, poverty results from bad luck: accidents, job losses, disability.Despite poverty's messiness, we've measured progress against it by a single statistic: the federal poverty line. By this measure, we haven't made much progress. But the apparent lack of progress is misleading for two reasons.First, it ignores immigration. Many immigrants are poor and low-skilled. They add to the poor. From 1989 to 2007, about three quarters of the increase in the poverty population occurred among Hispanics（西班牙裔美国人）-mostly immigrants and their children.Second, the poor's material well-being has improved. The official poverty measure obscures this by counting only pre-tax cash income and ignoring other sources of support, including food stamps and housing subsidies. Although many poor live from hand to mouth, they've participated in rising living standards. In 2005, 91% had microwaves. 79% air-conditioning, and 48% cell phones.The existing poverty line could be improved by adding some income sources and subtracting some expenses. Unfortunately, the administration's proposal for a "supplemental poverty measure" in 2011 goes beyond that. The new poverty number would compound public confusion. It also raises questions about whether the statistic is tailored to favor a political agenda.The "supplemental measure" ties the poverty threshold to what the poorest third of Americans spend on food, housing, clothing, and utilities. The actual threshold will probably be higher thantoday's poverty line. Many Americans would find this weird: people get richer, but "poverty" stays stuck..What produces this outcome is a different view of poverty. The present concept is an absolute one: the poverty threshold reflects the amount estimated to meet basic needs. By contrast, the new measure embraces a relative notion of poverty: people are automatically poor if they're a given distance from the top, even if their incomes are increasing.The new indicator is a "propaganda device" to promote income redistribution by showing that poverty is stubborn or increasing. The Census Bureau has estimated statistics similar to the administration's proposal. In 2008, the traditional poverty rate was %; estimates of the new statistic range up to l7%. The new poverty statistic exceeds the old, and the gap grows larger over time.As senator Daniel Moynihan said, the administration is defining poverty up. It's legitimate to debate how much we should aid the poor or reduce economic inequality. But the debate should not be swayed by misleading statistics that few Americans could possibly understand. Government statistics should strive for political neutrality（中立）.This one fails.注意：此部份试题请在答题卡2上作答。

The Basics of Math—Made ClearBasic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas. These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数) and beyond.The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically.Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing—and completely understandable—field of study.By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math. They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges.Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best math teacher in America,” is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious. From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is master in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less scary.With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr. Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College. His courses include various make-up classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers.If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer. Or you can get your money back.56. What does the course Basic Math mainly cover?A. Algebra.B. College Mathematics.C. Arithmetic.D. Mathematics Education.[解析] C. 从文中第二段The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic.可知。
