Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other 37 ?I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s, 38 children from different races and religions played and studied 39 in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone's 40 from Ismail's. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hindu—we just 41 our differences. Perhaps，our elders had not filled our heads with unnecessary advice, well 42 or otherwise.We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we 'd 43 the countryside on our bicycles，hoping to 44 the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town.

But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes，accompanied by an article from the local paper, has made a northern German city believe in fairytales (童话）.The first envelope was sent to a victim support group. It contained €10，000 with a cutting from the Braunschiveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag; similar plain white anonymous (匿名）envelopes, each containing €10,000, then arrived at a kindergarten and a church.The envelopes keep coming, and; so far at least €190,000 has been distributed. Last month, one of them was sent to the newspaper 's own office. It came after a story it published about Tom, a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident. The receptionist at the Braunschiveiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of € 500 inside with a copy of the article. The name of the family was underlined.“I was driving when I heard the news," Claudia Neumann, the boy's mother, told Der Spiegel magazine. “I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless."The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for."For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself, was astonishing," Mrs. Neumann said. Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character, taking from banks to give to the needy.Henning Noske，the editor of the Braunschiveiger Zeitung, said: "Maybe it is an old person who is about to die. We just do not know." However, he has told his reporters not to look for the city's hero, for fear that discovery may stop the donations.56. The Braunschiveiger Zeitung is the name of ______.A. a churchB. a bankC. a newspaperD. a magazine57. Which of the following is TRUE about the donation to Tom?A. The donation amounted to €190,000.B. The donation was sent directly to his house.C. The money will be used for his education.D. His mother felt astonished at the donation.58. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A. the donator is a rich old manB. the donation will continue to comeC. the donation comes from the newspaperD. the donator will soon be found out59. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Money Is Raised by the Newspaper.B. Newspaper Distributes Money to the Needy.C. Unknown Hero Spreads Love in EnvelopesD. Robin Hood Returns to the CityBAt exactly eleven Sir Percival knocked and entered, with anxiety and worry in every line of his face. This meeting would decide his future life, and he obviously knew it.“You may wonder, Sir Percival," said Laura calmly, "if I am going to ask to be released (免除）fromray promise to marry you. I am not going to ask this. I respect my father's wishes too much. ”His face relaxed a little, but one of his feet kept beating the carpet.“No, if we are going to withdraw.(退出）from our planned marriage, it will be because of your wish, not mine. ”"Mine?” he said in great surprise. ”What reason could I have for withdrawing?”"A reason that is very hard to tell you,”she answered. "There is a change in me. ”His face went so pale that even his lips lost their color. He turned his head to one side.“What change?" he asked, trying to appear calm." When the promise was made two years ago", she said, “ my love did n ot belong to anyone. Will you forgive me, Sir Percival, if I tell you that it now belongs to another person?"“I wish you to understand", Laura continued, “that I will never see this person again, and that if you leave me, you only allow me to remain a single woman for the rest of my life. All I ask is that you forgive me and keep my secret.”“I will do both those things, " he said. Then he looked at Laura, as if he was waiting to hear more."I think I have said enough to give you reason to withdraw fro m our marriage,’，she added quietly."No. You have said enough to make it the 七彩教育网est wish of my life to marry you, ” he said.60. How did Percival feel during his meeting with Laura?A. Angry.B. Calm.C. Nervous.D. Excited.61. We can learn from the passage that _____.A. Laura had once promised to marry PercivalB. Laura's father wished to end her marriageC. Percival had been married to Laura for two yearsD. Percival asked to be released from the marriage62. The passage is probably taken out of_.A. a novelB. a reportC. a diaryD. an essayCFinally, a cell phoneThat's ... a phoneWith rates as low as $3.75 per week!“Well, I finally did it. I finally decided to enter the digital age and get a cell phone. My kids have been annoying me and the last straw was when my car broke down，and I was stuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help. But when I went to the cell phone store, I almost changed my mind. The phones all have cameras, computers and a "global-positioning" something or other that's supposed to spot me from space. Goodness, all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids! The people at the store weren't much help. They couldn't understand why someone wouldn't want a phone the size of a postage stamp. And the rate plans! They were confusing, and expensive ... and the contract (合同）lasted for two years! I'd almost given up until a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone. Now, I have the convenience and safety of being about to stay in touch --- with a phone I can actually use. ”Affordable plans that I can understand一and no contract to sign (签订）！Unlike other cell phones，Jitterbug has plans that make sense. Why should I pay for minutes I'm never going to use? And if I do talk more than I plan, I won't find myself with no minutes like my friend who has a prepaid phone. Best of all, there is no contract to sign—so I'm not locked in for years at a time. The US-based customerjust return it! Why wait, the Jitterbug comes ready to use right out of the box. If you aren't as happy with it as I am, you can return it and get your money back. Call now, the Jitterbug product experts are ready to answer your questions. Call 1-888-809-8794 or visit www. .63. What made “I” finally think of getting a cell phone?A. Being stuck by the highway.B. Being urged by his grandkids.C. Being persuaded by cell phone salespersons.D. Being attracted by the friendly return policy.64. On the monthly basis of 100 minutes, the Jitterbug weekly rate is about ____.A. $3.75B. $4.99C. $14. 99D. $19.9965. An advantage of Jitterbug mentioned in the passage is _____.A. its discount price with a free giftB. its reasonable rate plans without a contractC. its “global-positioning” system with 911 accessD. its good customer service all over the world66. The main purpose of the passage is to _____.A. tell a customer's story of JitterbugB. provide two ways to order JitterbugC. give a brief introduction of JitterbugD. attract potential customers to JitterbugDDo you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it's because we have mirror neurons (神经元）in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate (模仿)it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions，they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains，but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages，and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: "The hand took hold of the ball"), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments forsocial disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact(互动).Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent (相等物)for neuroscience of what Einstein's theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does—well, perhaps you'll understand why.67. Mirror neurons can explain _____.A. why we cry when we are hurtB. why we cough when we suffer from a coldC. why we smile when we see someone else smileD. why we yawn when we see someone else stay up late68. The underlined word "triggered" in the third paragraph probably means “____”.A. set offB. cut offC. built upD. broken up69. We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _____.A. relate to human behavior and interactionB. control human physical actions and feelingsC. result in bad behavior and social disordersD. determine our knowledge and language abilities70. What is the passage mainly about?A. Ways to find mirror neurons.B. Problems of mirror neurons.C. Existence of mirror neurons.D. Functions of mirror neurons.EHolidays are really important. Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways.But holidays are expensive and, for those on low wages or living on benefits，they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.For working parents，the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks，there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some，this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in safeguarding children、welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays，much of this is missed.While teachers are holidaying in the UK, many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning.In setting out its plans for a five-term year, Nottingham City Council (委员会）is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks, with a. more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break. We believe this w ill give real “down time" for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning.We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose ownchildren are educated in other authorities. However, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.71. The passage is probably written by _____.A. an experienced teacherB. a working parentC. an inspired studentD. a city council member72. The underlined word “they" in the second paragraph refers to “____”.A. environmentsB. holidaysC. wagesD. benefits73. It is suggested in the passage that the summer break be reduced to _____.A. 2 weeksB. 4.5 weeksC. 5 weeksD. 6 weeks74. The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students _____.A. obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costsB. get a chance to spend, six weeks a term with teachers in schoolC. benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environmentD. have more school days to receive free school meals75. It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A. working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their childrenB. the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried outC. the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real “ down time"D. some school staff will say “ No" to the plans for a shorter summer holiday第II卷（非选择题共35分）第四部分写作（共两节,满分35分）第一节短文填词（共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分）People often don’ t do what they really want to for fearof failure.

But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes，accompanied by an article from the local paper, has made a northern German city believe in fairytales (童话）.The first envelope was sent to a victim support group. It contained €10，000 with a cutting from the Braunschiveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag; similar plain white anonymous (匿名）envelopes, each containing €10,000, then arrived at a kindergarten and a church.The envelopes keep coming, and so far at least €190,000 has been distributed. Last month, one of them was sent to the newspaper 'sown office. It came after a story it published about Tom, a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident. The receptionist at the Braunschiveiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of € 500 inside with a copy of thearticle. The name of the family was underlined.“I was driving when I heard the news," ClaudiaNeumann, the boy's mother, told Der Spiegel magazine. “I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless."The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for."For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself, was astonishing," MrsNeumann said. Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character, taking from banks to give to the needy.Henning Noske，the editor of the Braunschiveiger Zeitung, said: "Maybe it is an old person who is about to die. We just do not know." However, he has told his reporters not to look for the city's hero, for fear that discovery may stop the donations.{TS}The Braunschiveiger Zeitung is the name of ______.A. achurchB. abankC. anewspaperD. amagazine(2)Which of the following is TRUE about the donation to Tom?A.

This meeting would decide his future life, and he obviously knew it.“You may wonder, Sir Percival," said Laura calmly, "if I am going to ask to be released (免除）from my promise to marry you. I am not going toask this. I respect my father's wishes too much. ”His face relaxed a little, but one of his feet kept beating the carpet.“No, if we are going to withdraw.(退出）from our planned marriage, it will be because of your wish, not mine. ”"Mine?”he said in great surprise. ”What reason could I have f or withdrawing?”"A reason that is very hard to tell you,” she answered. "There is a change in me. ” His face went so pale that even his lips lost their color. He turned his head to one side. “What change?" he asked, trying to appear calm." When the promise was made two years ago", she said, “ my love did not belong to anyone. Will you forgive me, Sir Percival, if Itell youthat it now belongs to another person?"“I wish you to u nderstand", Laura continued, “that I will never see this person again, and that if you leave me, you only allow me to remain a single woman for the rest of my life. All I ask is that you forgive me and keep my secret.”“I will do both those things, " he said. Then he looked at Laura, as if he was waiting to hear more. "I think I have said enough to give you reason to withdraw from our marriage,’，she added quietly. "No. You have said enough to make it the dearest wish of my life to marry you, ” he said.{TS}How did Percival feel during his meeting with Laura?A. AngrB. CalC. NervouD.

I finally decided to enter the digital age and get a cell phone. My kids have been annoying me and the last strawwas when my car broke down，and I was stuck by the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help. But when I went to the cell phone store, Ialmost changed my mind. The phones all have cameras, computers and a "global-positioning" something or other that's supposed to spot me from space. Goodness, all I want to do is to be able to talk to my grandkids! The people at the store weren't much help. They couldn't understand why someone wouldn't want a phone the size of a postage stamp. And the rate plans! They were confusing, and expensive ... and the contract (合同）lasted for two years! I'd almost given up until a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone. Now, I have the convenience and safety of being about to stay in touch --- with a phone I can actually use. ”Affo rdable plans that I can understand----and no contract to sign (签订）！Unlike other cell phones，Jitterbug has plans that make sense. Why should I pay for minutes I'm never going to use? And if I do talk more than I plan, I won't find myself with no minutes like my friend who has a prepaid phone. Best of all, there is no contract to sign—so I'm not locked in for years at a time. The US-based customer service is second to none. And the phone gets service anywhere in the country.Call now and receive a FREE gift when you order. Try Jitterbug for 30 days and if you don't love it, just return it! Why wait, the Jitterbug comes ready to use right out of the box. If you aren't as happy with it as I am, you can return it and get your money back.

Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, apparently it's because we have mirror neurons (神经元）in our brains.Put simply, the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains imitate (模仿)it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions，they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains，but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages，and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: "The hand took hold of the ball"), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning. However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information concerning how humans behave and interact(互动).Indeed, it may turn out to be the equivalent (相等物)for neuroscience of what Einstein's theory of relativity was for physics. And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does—well, perhaps you'll understand why.A. whywecrywhenwearehurtB. whywecoughwhenwesufferfromacoldC. whywesmilewhenweseesomeoneelsesmileD. whyweyawnwhenweseesomeoneelsestayuplate(13)The underlined word "triggered" in the third paragraph probably means “____”.A. setoffB. cutoffC. builtupD. brokenup(14)We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _____.A. relatetohumanbehaviorandinteractionB. controlhumanphysicalactionsandfeelingsC. resultinbadbehaviorandsocialdisordersD. determineourknowledgeandlanguageabilities(15)What is the passage mainly about?A. WaystofindmirrorneuronB. ProblemsofmirrorneuronC. ExistenceofmirrorneuronD. Functionsofmirrorneuron(16)阅读文章，回答{TSE}题：<p style="text-align:center;">E</p><p>Holidays are really important. Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways.But holidays are expensive and, for those on low wages or living on benefits，they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.For working parents，the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks，there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some，this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. Schools also havean important role in safeguarding children’s welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays，much of this is missed.Whileteachers are holidaying in the UK, many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning.In setting out its plans for a five-term year, Nottingham City Council (委员会）is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks, with a. more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break. We believe this will give real “down time" for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning.We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.A. anexperiencedteacherB. aworkingparentC. aninspiredstudentD. acitycouncilmember(17)The underlined word “they" in the second paragraph refers to “____”.A. environmentsB. holidaysC. wagesD. benefits(18)It is suggested in the passage that the summer break be reduced to _____.A. 2weeksB. 4.5weeksC. 5weeksD. 6weeks(19)The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students _____.A. obtainthecheapestholidayswithoutadditionalcostsB. getachancetospend,sixweeksatermwithteachersinschoolC. benefitmorefromthecaringandinspiringlearningenvironmentD. havemoreschooldaystoreceivefreeschoolmeals(20)It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A. workingparentscanenjoyafive-weekbreaktocarefortheirchildrenB. thesuggestedplansforafive-termschoolyearcanhardlybecarriedoutC. thelongsummerholidaygivesteachersandstudentsreal“downtime"D. someschoolstaffwillsay“No"totheplansforashortersummerholiday短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）(1)<p>回答{TSE}题：(2)请将答案填入横线上__________(3)请将答案填入横线上__________(4)请将答案填入横线上__________(5)请将答案填入横线上__________(6)请将答案填入横线上__________(7)请将答案填入横线上__________(8)请将答案填入横线上__________(9)请将答案填入横线上__________(10)请将答案填入横线上__________</p>书面表达（满分25分）(1)<p>假定你是某中学生英语报的小记者；以下漫画内容是你的所见所闻,谙根据要求写一篇英语短文投稿。

It's a pleasure to be here.W: Perhaps you could start by telling us where the idea for the book came from.M: Well, it was first suggested in the early 1950s. Sir Hugh Beaver, the managing director of Guinness, was out shooting birds with some friends. A bird flew away so quickly that no one was able to shoot it. Sir Hugh wondered whether this bird was the fastest bird in Europe. And if it wasn't the fastest, he wondered what was.W: So, I suppose he went to the nearest library to look for the information, and he couldn't find it?M: Yes, that's exactly what happened. And this made Sir Hugh think there must be other people in the same situation who wanted this kind of information. He thought that, like himself, people would be interested in finding facts about records to satisfy their curiosity.W: So, the idea for a book of records was born! And when did the first book come out?M: A few years later, in 1955. So, to answer your first question, the tallest person in the world is 231.7 centimeters tall, and the oldest person is Jeanne L Calment, who was born in February 1875.W: There are also some rather strange records, aren't here, Thomas?M: Yes, that's right.

2012年福建卷高考英语答案与解析
2012年福建省高考英语试卷参考答案与详细解析第Ⅰ卷（选择题，共115分）第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）第二部分：英语知识运用21.【考点】交际用语—征求意见或看法【答案】D【解析】根据题中的语境，特别是答语的后半部分“If time permits”，可知“看情况决定”选择故选择A项“It depends”，表示同意，其它选项不合题意。
本题比较容易。
【难度】一般22.【考点】本题考查不定代词用法【答案】C【解析】something like that 意为“大致如此，差不多这样”，something在本句中是表示不确定的描述或数量，“大致，左右”的意思。
比如：She called at something after ten o’clock.她10点多钟来过电话。
It tastes something like melon. 这吃起来有点像甜瓜。
They pay six pounds an hour. Something like that. 他们按每小时六英镑付费。
大致如此。
【难度】中等23. 【考点】本题考查定语从句的引导词【答案】C【解析】本句难点是把定语从句分割出来放在句首就很明了了，把句子转换成is shown in the report, the air quality in the city has improved over the past two months.就能直接看到非限制性定语从句引导词放句首指的是下文所提到的一句话用as引导“正如在所写的那样”。
【难度】一般24.【考点】本题考查时态的用法【答案】B【解析】首先根据时间状语this morning知道是发生过的事情，去除A、C两项，然后过去完成时的使用前提是有动作的先后顺序，然而本句指的是“今天早晨我正把从网上下载的阅读材料分类时电脑坏的。
”指的是过去正在进行的动作用过去进行时，B项正确。
【难度】一般25. 【考点】本题考查名词辨析【答案】A【解析】根据后半句的进一步解释“So it is my best choice”“这是我最好的选择”可知本空指的的是“英语是我的强项”，strength意为“优势，强项”与weakness是反义词。
