AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day late, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电)noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.( )1. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.C. He could have bought it at a lower price. B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.( )2. Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?A. ended all their programs C. changed to commercialsB. provided fewer channels D. showed all-night movies( )3. How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting it.C. By switching channels. B. By turning it on and off.D. By having it repaired.( )4. How does the author sound when telling the story?A. Curious.B. Anxious.C. Cautious.D. Humorous.BYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情)when they’re in poorly lit places---and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make f ood appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入)jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.( )5. The text is especially helpful for those who care about __________.A. their home comforts C. house buyingB. their body shape D. healthy diets( )6. A home environment in blue can help people __________.A. digest food better C. burn more caloriesB. reduce food intake D. regain their appetites( )7. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly.C. Use smaller spoons. B. Play fast music.D. Turn down the lights.( )8. What can be a suitable title for the test?A. Is Your House Making You Fat?C. Effects of Self-ConsciousnessB. Ways of Serving DinnerD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing? CMore student than ever before are taking a gap-year(间隔年) before going to university. It used to be called the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the startof the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by University and College Admissions Service(UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS sa id that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students(NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student had ship---young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to £15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,”he said.( )9. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A. It is flexible in length. C. It is increasingly popular.B. It is a time for relaxation. D. It is required by universities.( )10. According to Tony Higgins,students taking a gap year __________.A. are better prepared for college studiesB. know a lot more about their future jobsC. are more likely to leave university in debtD. have a better chance to enter top universities( )11. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A. He’s puzzled.B. He’s worried.C. He’s surprised.D. He’s annoyed. ( )12. What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A. Attend additional courses.C. Earn money for their education.B. Make plans for the new term.D. Prepare for their graduate studies. DChoose Your One-Day ToursTour A---Bath & Stonehenge including entrance fees to the ancient Roman bathrooms and Stonehenge---£37 until 26 March and £39 thereafter.Visit the city with over 2,000 years of history and Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent and the Costume Museum.

are some letters from our readers．■Yes，many cyclists behave dangerously．Many drivers are disrespectful of cyclists．But pedestrians are probably the worse offenders．People of all ages happily walk along the pavement with eyes and hands glued to themobile phone，quite unaware of what is going on around them．They may even do the same thing while crossing a road at a pedestrian crossing or elsewhere．The rest of us have to evade （避让）them or just stand still to wait for the unavoidable collision．The real problem is that some pedestrians seem to be，at least for the moment，in worlds of their own that are，to them，much more important than the welfare of others．﹣﹣Michael Horan■I love the letter from Bob Brooks about cyclists （Viewpoints，May 29）．I am afraid they seem to think they own the roads．I was walking across Altrincham Road one morning when a cyclist went round me and on being asked what he was doing he shouted at me．The government built a cycle lane on the road but it is hardly used．The police do nothing．What a laugh they are!The cyclists should all have to be made to use the cycle lanes and wear helmets，fluorescent （发荧光的）jacket and lights at night and in the morning they should pay some sort of tax and be fined for not wearing them．﹣﹣Carol Harvey■Cyclists jump on and off pavements （which are meant for pedestrians），ride at speed along the pavements，and think they have a special right to go through traffic lights when they are on red．I was almost knocked down recently by a cyclist riding on the pavement when there was a cycle lane right next to him．Other road users，including horse riders，manage to obey the rules so why not cyclists？It's about time they had to be registered and insured，so when they do hit a pedestrian or a vehicle，or cause an accident，at least they can be treated and there might be an opportunity to claim．﹣﹣JMLWrite to Viewpoints of the newspaper．56．Michael Horan wrote the letter mainly to show that．A．drivers should be polite to cyclistsB．road accidents can actually be avoidedC．sine pedestrians are a threat to road safetyD．walking while using phones hurts one's eyes57．Carol Harvey suggests that cyclists should．A．be provided with enough roadsB．be asked to ride on their own lanesC．be made to pay less tax for cyclingD．be fined for laughing at policemen58．What is a complaint of JML？A．Very few drivers are insured．B．Cyclists ride fast on pavements．C．Pedestrians go through red traffic lights．D．Horse riders disrespect other road users．59．The underlined word"they"in the third letter refers to．A．accidents B．vehicles C．pedestrians D．cyclists60．The three letters present viewpoints on．A．real source of road dangerB．ways to improve road facilitiesC．measures to punish road offencesD．increased awareness of road rules．61．（10分）In its early history，Chicago had floods frequently，especially in the spring，making the streets so muddy that people，horses，and carts got stuck．An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this：A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street．Asked if he needs help，he replies，"No，thanks．I've got a good horse under me．"The city planner decided to build an underground drainage （排水）system，but there simply wasn't enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level．The only two options were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city．An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced me the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt．This raised the level of the city's streets by as much as 12feet．This of course created a new problem：dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago．Building owners were faced with a choice：either change the first floors of their buildings into basements，and the second stories into main floors，or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level．Small wood﹣frame buildings could be lifted fairly easily．But what about large，heavy structures like Tremont Hotel，which was a six﹣story brick building？That's where George Pullman came in．He had developed some house﹣moving skills successfully．To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel，Pullman would place thousands of jackscrews （螺旋千斤顶）beneath the building's foundation．One man was assigned to operate each section of roughly 10jackscrews．At Pullman's signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time，thereby raising the building slowly and evenly．Astonishingly，the Tremont Hotel stay open during the entire operation，and many of its guests didn't even notice anything was happening．Some people like to say that every problem has a solution．But in Chicago's early history，every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem．Now that Chicago's waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River，the city's next step was to clean the polluted river．61．The author mentions the joke to show．A．horses were fairly useful in ChicagoB．Chicago's streets were extremely muddyC．Chicago was very dangerous in the springD．the Chicago people were particularly humorous62．The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to．A．get rid of the street dirtB．lower the Chicago RiverC．fight against heavy floodsD．build the pipes above ground63．The underlined word"hoist"in Paragraph 4means""．A．changeB．liftC．repairD．decorate64．What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel？A．It went on smoothly as intended．B．It interrupted the business of the hotel．C．It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews．D．It separated the building from its foundation．65．The passage is mainly about the early Chicago's．A．popular life styles and their influencesB．environmental disasters and their causesC．engineering problems and their solutionsD．successful businessmen and their achievements．66．（10分）Have your parents ever inspected your room to see if you cleaned it properly？Imagine having your entire houses，garage，and yard inspected at any time ﹣﹣with no warning．Inspections were a regular part of lighthouse （灯塔）living，and a keeper's reputation depended on results．A few times each year，an inspector arrived to look over the entire light station．The inspections were supposed to be a surprise，but keeper sometimes had advance notice．Once lighthouses had telephones，keepers would call each other to warn that the inspector was approaching．After boats began flying special flags noting the inspectoraboard，the keeper's family made it a game to see who could notice the boat first．As soon as someone spotted the boat，everyone would do last﹣minute tidying and change into fancy clothes．The keeper then scurried to put on his dress uniform and cap．Children of keepers remember inspectors wearing white gloves to run their fingers over door frames and windowsills looking for dust．Despite the serious nature of inspections，they resulted in some funny moments．Betty Byrnes remembered when her mother did not have time to wash all the dishes before an inspection．At the time，people did not have dishwashers in their homes．In an effort to clean up quickly，Mrs．Byrnes tossed all the dishes into a big bread pan，covered them with a cloth and stuck them in the oven．If the inspector opened the oven door，it would look like bread was baking．he never did．One day，Glenn Furst's mother put oil on the kitchen floor just before the inspector entered their house．Like floor wax，the oil made the floors shiny and helped protect the wood．This time，though，she used a little too much oil．When the inspector extended his hand to greet Glenn's mother，he slipped on the freshly oiled surface．"He came across that floor waving his arms like a young bird attempting its first flight，"Glenn late wrote．After he steadied himself，he shook Glenn's mother's hand，and the inspection continued as though nothing had happened．66．What does Paragraph I tell us about the inspection at the light station？A．It was carried out once a year．B．It was often announced in advance．C．It was important for the keeper's fame．D．It was focused on the garage and yard．67．The family began making preparations immediately after．A．one of the members saw the boatB．a warning call reached the lighthouseC．the keeper put on the dress uniform and capD．the inspector flew special flags in the distance68．Mrs．Byrnes put the dishes in the oven because this would．A．result in some funB．speed up washing themC．make her home look tidyD．be a demand from the inspector69．If the inspector had opened the oven door，he would have seen．A．an empty panB．many clean dishesC．pieces of baked breadD．a cloth covering something70．The inspector waved his arms．A．to try his best to keep steadyB．to show his satisfaction with the floorC．to extend a warm greeting to Glenn's motherD．to express his intention to continue the inspection．PartIVWriting(45marks)Directions：Readthefollowingpassage．Fillinthenumberedblanksbyusingtheinformationfromth

three kinds of print dictionaries：pocket，desk，and unabridged．You should also know the copyright date of your dictionary，and check is special features．A pocket dictionary is small．Generally，it contains no more than 75000entries，making it hardly to carry to class and efficient to use．However，a pocket dictionary doesn't contain enough entries to be adequate for college reference homework．In addition，the information about each word in a pocket dictionary is generally limited．A desk dictionary is medium sized，generally containing over 100，000entries as well as extra features．For college work，you should own a current deskdictionary．An unabridged dictionary is a complete dictionary．Abridged dictionaries，such as pocket and desk dictionaries，are shortened．Because unabridged dictionaries contain nearly all English words，they are large and heavy．They are often used by schools and libraries．If the copyright date of your current dictionary shows that it was published five or more years ago，consider investing in a more recent edition．English is a dynamic language that admits new words and recognizes changes in meaning，spelling，and usage of familiar words．This is reflected in an up﹣to﹣date dictionary．In selecting a dictionary，check the features it offers besides vocabulary definitions．Many editions contain signs，symbols and foreign words．Some also contain CD﹣ROMs and access to special online features．Directions:Readthefollowingpassage.Answerthequestionsaccordingtotheinformatio ngiveninthepassage.81．（10分）Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New ThingsFor most high school students，free periods are useless．From what I have seen，few do homework，instead many are on their phones and talking，making it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any．As a senior next year，I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects．Our school offers many classes．Now is the time to experiment in different fields of study．We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it．In my 8th grade，I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement；so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art．One of the projects was to build a clay pot，but I built mine incorrectly，so it broke in the kiln （窑）．I found out that I have no artistic ability at all，and now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist．However，the class was one of my favorites that year．I was able to try new activities and test my ability．Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things!College is when we should focus on a specific major，but high school is when we have to figure it out．Half of all college students change their major at some point．By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take．So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college．The classes we choose can impact us in future．Taking optional subjects will enrich our mind．It will also

is+被强调部分+that…．去掉it is和that，剩余两部分加起来应该为一个完整的句子，否则强调句型不成立．见到It is开头的句子，可以假设其为强调句型，用that代入，然后去掉it is和that，剩余部分构成完整的句子则强调句型成立，故选B．22．（1分）（2015•湖南）As you go through this book，you __________ that each of the millions of people who lived through World War II had a different experience．（）A．will find B．found C．had found D．have found【分析】当你浏览这本书时，你就会发现经历过第二次世界大战的成千上万人中的每一个人都有不同的经历．【解答】答案：A 因为在as，when，as soon as 等引导的时间状语从句中，当主句是将来时态时，从句用一般现在时代替．所以主句用将来时．A项是一般将来时，符合题意，故选A项．；B项是过去式；C项是过去完成时；D项是现在完成时，都应排除．23．（1分）（2015•湖南）Only after talking to two students __________ that having strong motivation is one

hands．（）A．to leave B．leaving C．leave D．left【分析】电脑游戏可能会有不好的影响，如果它们被操作不当．【解答】答案：D由于Video games和leave之间是被动关系，故用被动语态．因为在if引导的条件状语从句中，遵循"主将从现"的原则，所以用一般现在时的被动语态．又由于此句是省略句，在if引导的条件状语从句中，如果主、从句的主语一致，而且从句又有be时，常常省略主语和be．所以选D项．25．（1分）（2015•湖南）I wasn't able to hide my eagerness when I __________，"What do you wish me to do now？"（）A．ask B．have asked C．am asking D．asked【分析】我不能隐藏我的渴望，当我问道，"你现在希望我做些什么？"【解答】答案D．一般过去时表示过去的某个时间发生的动作或状态．本句的主句用的是一般过去时，所以从句也应该用一般过去时，故选D．26．（1分）（2015•湖南）You

at【分析】他当时一定感觉到我在看他．他突然瞥了我一眼然后静静地说："你为什么那样盯着我？"【解答】答案：C 因为"must have done"这一结构是对过去动作的推测．表示"当时一定做…"．sensed 后是that引导的宾语从句，由于主句是过去的动作，所以从句应该用过去的相应时态，由sensed可知，动作正在发生，故用过去进行时．A 项是过去将来时；B项是一般过去式；C项是过去进行时，符合题意；D项是现在进行时．故选C．29．（1分）（2015•湖南）It is a truly delightful place，__________ looks the same as it must have done 100 years ago with its winding streets and pretty

same…as，as…as，such…as 等连用，或用于as is reported/expected/known等句式．which可以引导非限制性定语从句，在从句中作主语、宾语等．故选D项．30．（1分）（2015•湖南）When the clerk saw a kind face wrinkled in an apologetic smile，she stood rooted to the ground，__________whether to stay or leave．（）A．wondering B．wonder C．to wonder D．wondered【分析】当这个职员看到一张满是皱纹的善良脸庞上露出的歉意微笑时，她就像生了根似的站在那里，不知道是走还是留．【解答】题干中的主语she与动词wonder 之间构成逻辑上的主谓关系，即主动意思．且动词wonder伴随主句的谓语动词stood同时存在，所以用非谓语动词的现在分词形式作伴随状语，故选A．不定式（to do）作状语时，可表示目的、结果（意料之外）、原因等，而题干中则表示一个主动，伴随的动作，故排除C．题干中主句的谓语动词stood时态是一般过去式，如果要表示一个并列的动作，动词wonder则需与stood保持一致，用一般过去式wondered，但题干中又缺少一个并列连词链接这两个动作，所以B、D都错误．31．（1分）（2015•湖南）Always __________ in mind that your main task is to get this company running smoothly．（）A．to keep B．to have kept C．keep D．have kept【分析】一定要记住你的主要任务是让公司正常地运转．【解答】答案：C keep in mind

time，most students agree that the experience is worth it．（）A．If only B．After C．Although D．In case【分析】尽管这项工作要花大量的时间，但是大多数学生认为去体验一番还是值得的．【解答】答案C．A选项"但愿，要是…就好了"主要用在虚拟语气中，用以表达强烈的愿望或非真实条件；B选项"在…之后（引导时间状语从句）"；D选项"以防，万一（引导条件状语从句）"常用为"in case+句子或in case of+名词"；C选项"虽然，尽管（引导让步状语从句）"；根据句意和逻辑关系可推知这里是由although引导的让步状语从句．C项符合语境，故选C．34．（1分）（2015•湖南）Sometimes I act as a listening ear for fellow students __________what is bothering them．（）A．to talk over

2015年高考全国卷2英语试题第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）略第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my first, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the sit is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A.He got an older model than he had expected.B.He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C.He could have bought it at a lower price.D.He failed to find any movie shows on it.【参考答案】C【考查内容】细节理解题【解析思路】根据第一段第四行“when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid.”当我看到报纸上75美元比我买的价格低的时候，我感觉我上当了。

easily broke it into two pieces．Next，she tied several chopsticks together，representing a family．She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks．This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up．Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California．However，when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975，they didn't have much money．They moved their family to San Francisco．There they joined Danny's mother，Diana，who owned a small Italian sandwich shop．Soon afterwards，Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant．The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young．However，Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard．Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work forthemselves，but one by one，the daughters returned to work in the family business．They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles．Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other，they worked together to make the business successful．Daughter Elisabeth explains，"Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity，and to have unity we must have peace．Without the strength of the family，there is no business．"Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996，with three generations of Ans working together．Now the Ans'corporation makes more than $20million each year．Although they began with a small restaurant，they had big dreams，and they worked together．Now they are a big success．60．Helene tied several chopsticks together to show．A．the strength of family unityB．the difficulty of growing upC．the advantage of chopsticksD．the best way of giving a lesson61．We can I

disagreement among family members．63．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？A．How to Run a CorporationB．Strength Comes from PeaceC．How to Achieve a Big DreamD．Family Unity Builds Success．64．（8分）As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information，are people remember less？If you know your computer will save information，why store it in your own personal memory，your brain？Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how．In a recent study，Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments．She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory．In the first experiment，they gave people 40unimportant facts to type into a computer．The first group of people understood thatthe computer would save the information．The second group understood that the computer would not save it．Later，the second group remembered the information better．People in the first group knew they could find the information again，so they did not try to remember it．In another experiment，the researchers gave people facts to remember，and told them where to find the information on the Internet．The information was in a specific computer folder （文件夹）．Surprisingly，people later remember the folder location （位置）better than the facts．When people use the Internet，they do not remember the information．Rather，they remember how to find it．This is called"transactive memory （交互记忆）"According to Sparrow，we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet．Instead，computer users are developing stronger transactive memories；that is，people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date．This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent，but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing．64．The passage begins with two questions to．A．introduce the main topicB．show the author's altitudeC．describe how to use the Internet．D．explain how to store information65．What can we learn about the first experiment？A．Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer．B．The two groups remembered the information equally well．C．The first group did not try to remember the formation．D．The second group did not understand the information．66．In transactive memory，people．A．keep the information in mindB．change the quantity of informationC．organize information like a computerD．remember how to find the information67．What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research？A．Weare using memory differently．B．We arebecoming more intelligent．C．We have poorer memories than before．D．We need a better way to access information．68．（8分）There are an extremely large number of antsworldwide．Each individual （个体的）ant hardly weigh anything，but put together they weigh roughly the same as all of mankind．They also live nearly everywhere，except on frozen mountain tops and around the poles．Foranimals their size，ants have been astonishingly successful，largely due to their wonderfulsocial behavior．In colonies （群体）that range in size from a few hundred to tens of millions，they organize their lives with a clear division of labor．Even more amazing is how they achievethis level of organization．Where we use sound and sight to communicate，ants dependprimarily on pheromone （外激素），chemicals sent out by individuals and smelled or tastedby fellow members of their colony．When an ant finds food，it produces a pheromone that will lead others straight to where the food is．When an individual ant comes under attack or is dying，it sends out an alarm pheromone towarn the colony to prepare for a conflict as a defense unit．In fact，when it comes to the art of war，ants have no equal．They are completely fearless and will readily take on a creature much larger than themselves，attacking in large groups and overcoming their target．Such is their devotion to the common good of the colony that not only soldier ants but also worker ants will sacrifice their lives to help defeat an enemy．Behaving in this selfless and devoted manner，these little creatures have survived on Earth，for more than 140million years，far longer than dinosaurs．Because they think as one，they have a collective （集体的）intelligence greater than you would expect from itsindividual parts．68．We can learn from the passage that ants are．A．not willing to share foodB．not found around the polesC．more successful than all other animalsD．too many to achieve any level of organization69．Ants can use pheromones for．A．escapeB．communicationC．warning enemiesD．arranging labor70．What does the underlined expression"take on"in Paragraph 3mean？A．Accept．B．Employ．C．Play with．D．Fight against．71．Which of the following contributes most to the survival of ants？A．Their behavior．B．Their size．C．Their number．D．Their weight．72．（8分）Food serves as a form of communication in two fundamental ways．Sharing bread or other foods is a common human tradition that can promote unity and trust．Food can also have a specific meaning，and play a significant role in a family or culture's celebrations or traditions．The foods we eat﹣and when and how we eat them﹣are often unique to a particular culture or may even differ between rural （农村的）and urban areas within one country．Sharing bread，whether during a special occasion （时刻）or at the family dinner table，is a common symbol of togetherness．Many cultures also celebrate birthdays and marriages with cakes that are cut and shared among the guests．Early forms of cake were simply a kind of bread，so this tradition hits its roots in the custom of sharing bread．Food also plays an important role in many New Year celebrations．In the southern United States，pieces of corn bread represent blocks of gold for prosperity （兴旺）in the New Year．In Greece，people share a special cake called vasilopita．A coin is put into the cake，which signifies （预示）success in the New Year for the person who receives it．Many cultures have ceremonies to celebrate the birth of a child，and food can play a significant role．In China，when a baby is one month old，families name and welcome their child in a celebration that includes giving red﹣colored eggs to guests．In many cultures，round foods such as grapes，bread，and moon cakes are eaten at welcome celebrations to represent family unity．Nutrition is necessary for life，so it is not surprising that food is such an important part of different cultures around the world．72．According to the passage，sharing bread．A．indicates a lack of foodB．can help to develop unityC．is a custom unique to rural areasD．has its roots in birthday celebrations73．What does the coin in vasilopita signify for its receiver in the New Year？A．Trust B．Success C．Health D．Togetherness74．The author explains the role of food in celebrations by．A．using examplesB．making comparisonsC．analyzing causesD．describing processes75．What is the passage mainly about？A．The custom of sharing food．B．The specific meaning of food．C．The role of food in ceremonies．D．The importance of food in culture．五、写作（共两节，满分10分）第一节任务型读写（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词．注意：每个空格只填一个单词．76．（10分）Pup a group of strangers in a room together，and they'll probably start a conversation．"Hot today，isn't it？"one might say．"You said it．"another replies．Why do we talk so much about the weather？When we meet new people，we don't begin by telling them our life story．We start with small talk，a polite conversation about something like traffic or weather．Research suggests that small talk can build new friendships．When we begin conversations with new people，we want to feel comfortable，and so do they．We use small talk to find common interests．Once we have a common interest，a friendship can begin．Small talk even helps people get hired．In order to impress at a job interview，you need to bond with the interviewer right away．Proper small talk can make that firstimpression get you the job．So，how can you make small talk lead to a new friendship or job？First off，find common ground．Select something around you that you share with the other person．Next，keep the conversation going．Compliment （赞美）the other person to make himor her feel comfortable，and ask questions to show interest．Third，keep eye contact （接触）．When you look people in the eye，they feel you appreciate what they are saying．It makes you appear honest and builds trust．Naturally，shy people might not have enough confidence to start up conversations with strangers．Talking to someone you don't know is not the easiest thing to do!Some experts say with more practice，small talk does get easier．Some people avoid small talk because they dislike discussing things like traffic or weather．For them，they are just too small．However，when you think about it，small talk is anything but small．In fact，it is actually a very big deal!第二节书面表达.86．（25分）某英文杂志正在举办以"Fancy yourself as an interviewer"为主题的征文活动，请你以"A Famous

much we still don't know．（）A．Once B．Since C．Though D．Unless【分析】尽管科学家已经了解了很多有关宇宙的知识，但是，我们仍然还有很多不知道的．【解答】答案：C A项意为"曾经，一旦"，表示时间；B项意为"既然，自从"表示时间或条件；C项意为"尽管，虽然"表示转折；D项意为"除非"表示条件．由we still don't know可知，此处意思是转折，故选C项．24．（1分）（2015•安徽）Just as I got to the school gate，I realized I __________ my book in the cafe．（）A．have left B．had left C．would leave D．was leaving【分析】句意：我刚到学校门口，就意识到我的书落在咖啡馆了．【解答】答案：B 句子的谓语动词realized 用的是过去式，说明"意识到"的动作是过去．而把书落在咖啡馆应该在此动作之前，即"过去的过去"，应该用过去完成时．A项是现在完成时；C项是过去将来时；D项是过去进行时，用排除法做此题，排除A、C和D项，故选B．25．（1分）（2015•安徽）A ship in harbor is safe，but that's not__________ships are built for．（）A．what B．whom C．why D．when【分析】句意：船泊港口固然安全，但这并非是造船的初衷．【解答】答案：A．"____ships are built for"是从句，跟在is not 后作表语，表语从句中for后缺宾语，须要连接代词，而why和when是连接副词，所以排除C、D．what与for连用，表示目的，符合句意，故选A．26．（1分）（2015•安徽）I'm so __________to all those volunteers because theyhelped my terrible day end happily．（）A．special B．superior C．grateful D．attractive【分析】句意：我非常感激所有的志愿者，因为他们帮我把糟糕的一天变成愉快的一天．【解答】答案：C．special"特别的，专门的"；superior"优秀的，上级的"；grateful"感激的"；attractive"吸引人的，有魅力的"．由"帮我把糟糕的一天变成愉快的一天"，可知我是"很感激"的，得出答案选C．27．（1分）（2015•安徽）__________the difference between the two research findings will be one of the worst mistakes you make．（）A．Ignore B．IgnoringC．Ignored D．Having ignored【分析】忽略这两份调查结果之间的差异将是你所犯的最严重的错误之一．【解答】解题第一步，找主干，发现谓语动词部分will be，因为谓语动词前面的部分充当句子的主语，所以可以确定题干中缺主语．然后结合非谓语动词的知识，动名词doing可以充当句子的主语，而having done 通常在句中作状语，从而确定选B．28．（1分）（2015•安徽）Some experts think reading is the fundamental skill upon __________school education depends．（）A．it B．that C．whose D．which【分析】句意：一些专家认为阅读是学校教育所依赖的基本技能．【解答】it不能引导定语从句，需用关系词代替，故A错误．that不能放于介词之后，所以B错误．whose作定语，与先行词构成所属关系，表示"…的"，构成"whose+n．"，所以C 也错误．定语从句中，介词+which/whom．upon是介词，与定语从句中的动词depend，构成短语depend upon/on，介词upon被提前．先行词是the fundamental skill，指物．所以选D．29．（1分）（2015•安徽）It is reported that a space station__________on the moon in years to come．（）A．will be building B．will he builtC．has been building D．has been built【分析】据报道，未来几年将在月球上建一个太空站．【解答】答案：B．根据题干中的时间短语in years to come"未来的几年"可知，谓语动词build发生在将来，需用一般将来式；同时build与其逻辑主语a space station构成被动关系"太空站被建"，所以需用一般将来式的被动语态will be done．故选D．30．（1分）（2015•安徽）There is no need to tell me your answer now．Give it some__________and then let me know．（）A．thought B．support C．protection D．authority【分析】现在不需要告诉我你的答案．考虑考虑再让我知道．【解答】答案：A．thought 思索；support 支持；protection保护；authority 权威．根据第一句"there is no need to tell me your answer now"就可知需再"考虑"，故选A31．（1分）（2015•安徽）They gave money to the old people's home either __________ or through their companies．（）A．legally B．sincerely C．personally D．deliberately【分析】他们要么以个人的名义、要么通过他们的公司给老人们钱．【解答】答案：C legally"合法地"；sincerely"真诚地"；personly"私人地"；deliberately"故意地"．companies和personally形成对比．故选C．32．（1分）（2015•安徽）It is lucky we booked a room，or we __________ nowhere to stay now．（）A．had B．had hadC．would have D．would have had【分析】我们很幸运地订到了一间房．不然的话，我们现在就无处可去了．【解答】答案：C．根据题干中的or可知其引导的是含蓄虚拟条件句，相当于if 引导的虚拟条件句．根据语境it is lucky we booked a room可知现在订到了房间，再由now提示，可知是对现在情况的假设，所以谓语动词用would/could/might/should do，故选C．33．（1分）（2015•安徽）They believe that there are transport developments __________ that will bring a lot of changes for the better，（）A．out of date B．out of orderC．around the clock D．around the corner【分析】句意：他们认为即将到来的交通发展将会带来很多好的方面的变化．【解答】答案：D．out of date"过时的，过期的"；out of order"无秩序的，混乱的"；around the clock"昼夜不停地"；around the corner"即将到来"．后面"that will bring a lot of changes for the better"是定语从句，修饰"transports development"根据句意，"交通发展将会带来很多好的方面的变化"说明交通发展"即将到来"．34．（1分）（2015•安徽）__________he once felt like giving up，he now has the determination to push further andkeep on going．（）A．Where B．As C．In case D．Now that【分析】曾经让他感到想放弃的地方，现在他决心继续前进．【解答】答案A．选项A表示那里，选项B表示尽管、当、因为、随着，选项C 以防，表目的，选项D既然，表原因．Where表地点，引导让步状语从句，as 引导让步状语从句常用倒装，这里指让他感到想放弃的地方，故选A．35．（1分）（2015•安徽）﹣How is your table tennis these days？Still playing？﹣__________．I just don't seem to find the time these days．（）A．That's right B．No，not much C．That's great D．Don't worry【分析】句意：﹣﹣你的乒乓球练得怎样了？还在练习吗？﹣﹣没怎么练．我现在似乎没有时间练习．【解答】答案B．A项"对，"正确"表示同意对方的观点或看法；C项"真棒，好极了"表示很赞同；D项"没问题，别担心"；B项"不，没怎么练"；根据后置语境"I just don't seem to find the time"可推知答语应该是"没怎么练乒乓球"，因此答案B符合语境，其他答案均不符合句意，故选B．三、完形填空（共1小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．36．（30分）（2015•安徽）In our modern world，when something wears out，we throw it away

2015年英语高考作文全国卷二
2015年英语高考作文全国卷二English:In today's rapidly changing world, the role of education is more crucial than ever. Education not only equips individuals with knowledge and skills but also fosters critical thinking, creativity, and adaptability. It serves as a cornerstone for personal growth, social progress, and economic development. However, the traditional education system often falls short in meeting the diverse needs of learners in the 21st century. It emphasizes rote memorization and standardized testing over cultivating innovation and problem-solving abilities. To address these challenges, educational reform is imperative. We need a paradigm shift towards a more holistic and student-centered approach to learning. This includes integrating technology into classrooms to enhance engagement and personalized learning experiences, promoting interdisciplinary studies to foster creativity and collaboration, and emphasizing the development of socio-emotional skills alongside academic achievements. Moreover, educators should adopt flexible teaching methods that cater to individual learning styles and encourage lifelong learning. By embracing innovation and adapting to thechanging needs of learners, we can build an education system that empowers individuals to thrive in the modern world.Translated content:在当今飞速变化的世界中，教育的作用比以往任何时候都更为关键。

2015年高考全国卷2英语试题及答案
2015年高考全国卷2英语试题及答案第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）略第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a y ear ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of clothes that wo uldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, wh en I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. Th e set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the 、night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise wo uld sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this techniq ue would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually b egan to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for t he noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my first, and it stopped working al together. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the sit is working well now, but I keep e xpecting more trouble.21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C. He could have bought it at a lower price.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.22. Which of the following an best replace the phrase “signed off” in paragraph 1?A. ended all their programsB. provided fewer channelsC. changed to commercialsD. showed all-night movies23. How did the author finally get this TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting itB. By turning it on and offC. By switching channelsD. By having it repaired24. How does the author sound when telling the story?A. CuriousB. AnxiousC. CautiousD. HumorousBYour house may have an effect on your figure. experts say the way you design your home cou ld play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. you can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan. Open the curtains and turn up the lights. dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places –and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness. Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue. Don’t forget the clock –or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at 30minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turning on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal. Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plants can easily makes us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.25. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ____.A. their home comfortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD. healthy diets26. A home environment in blue can help people ____.A. digest food betterB. reduce food intakeC. burn more caloriesD. regain their appetites27. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly.B. Play fast music.e smaller spoonsD. Turn down the lights28.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Is Your House Making You Fat?B. Ways of Serving DinnerC. Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?CMore students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年) before going to university. It used to be the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have pu t off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS). That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,”he said. But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship –young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacating periods,”he said.29.What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A.It is flexible in length.B. It is a time for relaxationC. It is increasingly popularD. It is required by universities30.According to Tony Higgins. students taking a gap year ____.A.are better prepared for college studiesB. know a lot more about their future jobC. are more likely to leave university in debtD. have a better chance to enter top universities31.How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A.He’s puzzledB. He’s worriedC. He’s surprisedD. He’s annoyed32.What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A.Attend additional courses.B. Make plans for the new termC.

year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn't fit．I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model，I realized this a day late，when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy﹣five dollars less than I had paid，The set worked so beautifullywhen I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed offfor the night，Fortunately，I didn't got any channels showing all﹣night movies or I would never have gotten to bed．Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static （静电）noise．For some reason，when certain shows switched into a commercial，a loud noise would sound for a few seconds．Gradually，this noise began to appear during a show，and to get rid of it，I had to change to another channel and then change it back．Sometimes this technique would not work，and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound．I actually began to build up my arm muscles（肌肉）shaking my set．When neither of these methods removed the static noise，I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away．At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist，and it stopped working altogether．My trip to the repair shop cost me $62，and the set is working well now，but I keep expecting more trouble．21．Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set？A．He got an older model than he had expected．B．He couldn't return it when it was broken．C．He could have bought it at a lower price．D．He failed to find any movie shows on it．22．Which of the following can best replace the phrase"signed off"in Paragraph 1？A．ended all their programsB．provided fewer channelsC．changed to commercialsD．showed all﹣night movies23．How did the author finally get his TV set working again？A．By shaking and hitting it．B．By turning it on and off．C．By switching channels．D．By having it repaired．24．How does the author sound when telling the story？A．CuriousB．AnxiousC．CautiousD．Humorous．25．（8分）Your house may have an effect on your figure．Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off．You can make your environment work for you instead of against you．Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan．Open the curtains and turn up the lights．Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating，for people are often less self﹣conscious（难为情）when they're in poorly lit places﹣and so more likely to eat lots of food．If your home doesn't have enough window light，get more lamps and flood the place with brightness．Mind the colors．Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites．In one study，people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33percent less than those in a yellow or red room．Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing，while cold colors make us feel less hungry．So when it's time to repaint，go blue．Don't forget the clock﹣or the radio．People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70fewer calories（卡路里）per meal than those who rush through their meals．Begin keeping track of the time，and try to make dinner last at least 30minutes，And while you're at it，actually sit down to eat．If you need some help slowing down，turn on relaxing music．It makes you less likely to rush through a meal．Downsize the dishes，Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat．We eat about 22percent more when using a 12﹣inch plate instead of a 10﹣inch plate．When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one，total intake（摄入）jumps by 14percent．And we'll pour about 30percent more liquid into a short，wide glass than a tall，skinny glass．25．The text is especially helpful for those who care about．A．their home comfortsB．their body shapeC．house buyingD．healthy diets26．A home environment in blue can help people．A．digest food betterB．reduce food intakeC．burn more caloriesD．regain their appetites27．What are people advised to do at mealtimes？A．Eat quickly．B．Play fast music．C．Use smaller spoons．D．Turn down the lights．28．What can be a suitable title for the test？A．Is Your House Making You Fat？B．Ways of Serving DinnerC．Effects of Self﹣ConsciousnessD．Is Your Home Environment Relaxing？29．（8分）More student than ever before are taking a gap﹣year （间隔年）before going to university．It used to be called the"year off"between school and university．The gap﹣year phenomenon originated（起源）with the months

40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods，"he said．29．What do we learn about the gap year from the text？A．It is flexible in length．B．It is a time for relaxation．C．It is increasingly popular．D．It is required by universities．30．According to Tony Higgins，students taking a gap year．A．arc better prepared for college studiesB．know a lot more about their future jobsC．are more likely to leave university in debtD．have a better chance to enter top universities31．How does Owain James feel about the gap﹣year phenomenon？A．He's puzzled．B．He's worried．C．He's surprised．D．He's annoyed．32．What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics？A．Attend additional courses．B．Make plans for the

repaired．24．How does the author sound when telling the story？DA．CuriousB．AnxiousC．CautiousD．Humorous．【分析】我的彩电尽让我头疼了．一年多以前，因为亲戚给了买生日礼物的钱，没去买许多不合适的衣服，所以就买了它．我受到店员的蒙蔽买了一台停产的机型．当我看到这种电视的报纸广告上是75美元，要比我买的便宜时，我意识到我上当了．最初把它买回家时，这台电视是如此的好以至于我常把它开到晚上节目结束．幸好，我没有发现哪个频道是放一整晚影片的，否则，我会一夜不睡觉．后来我发现了电视有静电噪音的问题，不知什么原因，当电视节目变成广告的时候，很大的噪音就会响上几秒，渐渐地，这种声音开始出现在节目中，为了去掉这种噪音，我不得不来回换频道．有时候这样做也不起作用，为了去掉这种声音，我只好搬起电视来回晃动．实际上，晃电视的同时，我还锻炼了胳膊上的肌肉．当这两种方法都没有消除静态噪音时，我只能无助的坐等噪音消失．最后我终于用拳头砸了电视，它完全坏了．我去修理厂花费了62美元，现在电视修好了，但我认为还会有更多的麻烦．【解答】21选C 细节推理题根据第一段．"I realized this a day late，when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy﹣five dollars less than I had paid"当我看到这种电视的报纸广告上是75美元，要比我买的便宜时，我意识到我上当了．答案C 他本来能以更低的价格买到它．故选C22选A 词义推测题根据后一句"Fortunately，I didn't got any channels showing all﹣night movies or I would never have gotten to bed．（"幸好，我没有发现哪个频道是放一整晚影片的，否则，我会一夜不睡觉．）可知，应该是"我常把它开到晚上节目结束"，所以"signed off"应该是"停止播放"的意思，也就是没有节目了．故选A．23选D 细节理解题根据文章最后一段"My trip to the repair shop cost me $62，and the set is working well now．"我去修理厂花费了62美元，现在电视修好了．故选D24选D 推理判断题．根据"I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound．I actually began to build up my arm muscles（肌肉）shaking my set．"为了去掉这种声音，我只好搬起电视来回晃动．实际上，晃电视的同时，我还锻炼了胳膊上的肌肉．"可知作者语调幽默．故选D．25．（8分）（2015•新课标Ⅱ）Your house may have an effect on your figure．Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off．You can make your environment work for you instead of against you．Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan．Open the curtains and turn up the lights．Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating，for people are often less self﹣conscious（难为情）when they're in poorly lit places﹣and so more likely to eat lots of food．If your home doesn't have enough window light，get more lamps and flood the place with brightness．Mind the colors．Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites．In one study，people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33percent less than those in a yellow or red room．Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing，while cold colors make us feel less hungry．So when it's time to repaint，go blue．Don't forget the clock﹣or the radio．People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70fewer calories（卡路里）per meal than those who rush through their meals．Begin keeping track of the time，and try to make dinner last at least 30minutes，And while you're at it，actually sit down to eat．If you need some help slowing down，turn on relaxing music．It makes you less likely to rush through a meal．Downsize the dishes，Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat．We eat about 22percent more when using a 12﹣inch plate instead of a 10﹣inch plate．When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one，total intake（摄入）jumps by 14percent．And we'll pour about 30percent more liquid into a short，wide glass than a tall，skinny glass．25．The text is especially helpful for those who care about B．A．their home comfortsB．their body shapeC．house buyingD．healthy diets26．A home environment in blue can help people B．A．digest food betterB．reduce food intakeC．burn more caloriesD．regain their appetites27．What are people advised to do at mealtimes？CA．Eat quickly．B．Play fast music．C．Use smaller spoons．D．Turn down the lights．28．What can be a suitable title for the test？AA．Is Your House Making You Fat？B．Ways of Serving DinnerC．Effects of Self﹣ConsciousnessD．Is Your Home Environment Relaxing？【分析】本文属于议论文阅读，主要向我们介绍了自己家的房子对我们的身材很有影响．身材变化的关键是看你如何设计自己的家．这里给出了保持身材的四点设计建议：1．房间要明亮；2．用冷色系会减少食欲；3．放一些舒缓的音乐就餐；4．用小的碗碟就餐．【解答】25．B 推理判断题．根据全文第一段Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan．可知要让你的家的设计成为你减肥计划的一部分．所以这篇文章对那些在乎自己的身材的人更有帮助．故选B．26．B 细节理解题．根据第三段In one study，people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room．可知在蓝色的房间内，人吃的食物相对在黄色或者红色房间减少33%，因此在蓝色的房间能帮助人减少摄入的食物，故选B．27．C 推理判断题．根据最后一段When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one，total intake（摄入）jumps by 14 percent．用大勺和小勺吃饭，相差14%，因此建议人们用小勺吃饭，C正确；误解分析：由第4段People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里）per meal than those who rush through their meals．，说明吃得慢就吃得少，吃得快就多，故A错；If you need some help slowing down，turning on relaxing music．说明放舒缓的音乐可以让人吃得慢，反之则快，故B错；第二段Dark environments are more likely to encourageovereating，由此可知房间暗会增加饮食，所以D错；故选C．28．A 主旨大意题．根据第一段Your house may have an effect on your figure．Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off．you can make your environment work for you instead of against you．可知你的家居环境既可以让你变胖也会让你变瘦，故选A．29．（8分）（2015•新课标Ⅱ）More student than ever before are taking a gap﹣year （间隔年）before going to university．It used to be called the"year off"between school and university．The

AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache.I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit.I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model.I realized this a day later,when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid.The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night.Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason,when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually,this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it,I had to change to another channel and then change it back.Sometimes this technique would not work,and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise ,I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away.At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist,and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.21．Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A．He got an older model than he had expected.B．He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C．He could have bought it at a lower price.D．He failed to find any movie shows on it.22．Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off”in Paragraph 1? A．ended all their programsB．provided fewer channelsC．changed to commercialsD．showed all-night movies23．How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A．By shaking and hitting it.B．By turning it on and off.C．By switching channels.D．By having it repaired.24．How does the anthor sound when telling the story ?A．CuriousB．AnxiousC．CautiousD．HumorousBYour house may have an effect on your figure . Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you.

It used to be called the “year off”between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by University and College Admissions Serbice(UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year.

Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,”he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students(NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship –young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now awarethat they are likely to leave university up to ￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,”he said.29．What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A．It is flexible in length.B．It is a time for relaxation.C．It is increasingly popular.D．It is required by universities.30．According to Tony Higgins,students taking a gap year______.A．are better prepared for college studiesB．know a lot more about their future jobsC．are more likely to leave university in debtD．have a better chance to enter top universities31．How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A．He's puzzled.B．He's worried.C．He's surprised.D．He's annoyed.32．What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A．Attend additional courses.B．Make plans for the new term.C．Earn money for their education.D．Prepare for their graduate studies.DChoose Your One-Day ToursTour A-Bath & Stonchenge including entrance fees to the ancient Roman bathrooms and Stonehenge-￡until 26 March and ￡39 thereafter.Visit the city with over 2,000 years of history and Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent and the Costute Mtsan.
