D “暴风雨直袭他的两层木屋”,暴风雨应该是从房屋上方袭来,故用over。 23. C 根据后文“他打开通向地下室的门”可以判断Sibson冲下楼梯的目的是“查看一下”到底发生了什么事情。 24. D 他打开地下室的门,火焰从里面喷发出来。此处explode out意为break out(突然爆发)。 25. A 根据此句中“因为这个房间有一个通向屋外的独立的楼梯”,因此他当时感觉应该是“安全的”。 26. B 当他正想通过那个楼梯出去的时候,却被一堵火墙给阻拦(stop),故用B。 27. B 根据前面“three kilometres”及后文“so well hidden by trees”可知他的房子应该是离开主干道有3公里。故用介词off。 28. C 由于离开主干道3公里且被树所遮蔽,因此呼救是没有结果的(fruitless),故选C。 29. A 突然他听到了像烟雾警报器之类的声音。strike one’s ears“传进某人的耳朵;突然听到”。 30. D 根据后文Huggons拨打911可知,他是带上了他的电话。故选D。 31. A Huggons应该是朝着他所听到的声音方向而去。故选A。 32. B 警察应该是警告Huggons不要进入Sibson的房子。故选enter。 33. C Huggons说他不能听到Sibson的拼命叫喊。应使用scream。 34. A Huggons进入房子,但由于烟雾很大,他很快不得不跑回来“喘口气”。此处catch one’s breath意为“喘口气”,故答案选A。 35. D 在又一次打算进入房子的尝试之后,Huggons最后还是放弃了,绕着圈子回来了。此处应使用attempt(尝试)。 36. B 由于烟雾很大,Huggons应该是摸索着绕着从房子里面出来的,故选B。 37. C 当风将烟雾吹得足够的分散,以致他能够看到Sibson。此处part表示将…分开,因此不能用open,因此答案选C。 38. D 他用电筒往丛林中照。此处shine the flashlight为固定说法,意为“用电筒照”。故选D。 39. C Huggons将梯子搭在房子上,将Sibson从二楼拽下来。此时二楼房子就要倒了,为了形容动作之快,故用pull。 40. D 根据后文Sibson自己所说的话“我当天晚上是一个人。然后我听到了我生命中最美丽的声音,是Huggons。”可知,他对Huggons心存感激。故选D。 【2012陕西卷】 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出适合填入对应空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 One sunny afternoon, a seven-year-old girl went for a walk.

B 小男孩希望自己能够找到一个旧箱子,一块大石头,或者,如果顺利的话,能找到一架梯子。for luck为了吉利,为了祈求好运;with luck 如果一切顺利的话;其他两个介词不能与luck搭配。 48. C 小男孩尝试了所有的方法,在眼看没有任何其他选择的情况下,小男孩只好放弃了。 49. B 没有办法摘到苹果,小男孩只好失望地走开。walk away走开。 50. C 根据上文可知,小男孩做了很多努力,因此耗尽了力气,觉得又累又饿。 51. A 此处表示他越是这样想,就越觉得不开心。 52. B 根据上下文内容可知,此处存在的是转折关系,所以选择however“然而,可是”。 53. D 根据下文内容可知,小男孩开始理智地看待自己遇到的问题,觉得生气、失望、难过等都没有帮助,不能从根本上解决问题。 54. D 结合上文内容可知,小男孩清醒地认识到自己已经没有其他法子可用了,苹果也不会得到了。 55. A 小男孩的反省也是文章主题的升华:面对无法解决的问题,我们可以做到的就是改变自己的情感态度。 7.(2011·四川卷)完形填空 I truly feel that my mother led me here,to Morzaine,and to my future as happy wife and bussinesswoman.When Mum 21 in October 2007,I was cook..

They have a choice . And that is to write.”(因为我们生活在通讯工具便捷的时代,人们难免会忘掉我们不必总得用电话或电子邮件联系,我们还有另一种选择,那就是写信。) 这样的记叙思路恰好是全国卷高考英语命题的潜在思想,达到了教育性 启迪性的目的。 该试题的难度和前几年相比,难度相当;用词选项方面,都间接考查了构词法:reread, deepem等,类似于去年的acceptance,难度上略微有所增加。 详细解析 21. D 解析:前文有enjoy, read,不可能是received 或 returned, 只能是“重读”。Rewritten表示“重写” 22. C 表示保持两人的友谊 23. A 根据后文举例说明,故用give an example 24. C get through通过,完成; get together 聚会,聚焦; get along 相处; get away走开,离开 25. B Children 与后面的grow apart呼应 26. C 根据后文的our conversation was filled with arguments and quarrels,推理出“不愉快”,选择pleasant 27. A 根据情感变化是“加深误解”,故选用deepen,该题主要考构词法 28. D 搬家,迁居,move to some place 29. A 失去联系lose touch with sb. 30. B 根据上下文,鼓励我写信 encourage me to write 31. A. drive 驾驶;驱动;驱赶。这里是为他的语言文字所驱使或驱动之意。 32. D 忆往昔,曾几何时,这些品质恰是我尊重哥哥的原因。Once 曾经 33. C 但“认为”他不再具备这些品质。Thought说明过去的想法 34. A 强调写信的好 35. D 我们再一次成为朋友。Again“再一次,又” 36. D 整句话是虚拟语气,“如果哥哥去的地方不是因为没有电话,他将不会给我写信”是哥哥的身上发生的事高考 资 源网 37. C 同36题 38. B 当代是通讯发达的年代,故选easy,表示便捷的意思。 39. D 根据文章,人们忘掉了这一点(参考总体评析)。此处提醒人们要记得并非必须用电话、电子邮件才能交流 40. B 另一种选择 choice Passage 5 (10·山东) It was a cool October evening. Excitement and family members __36___ the hall. I was only a 7-year-old girl, but I was the center of __37___.

He took it home so that he could 31 the moth come out of the cocoon. On that day a small 32 appeared, he sat and watched the moth for several hours as the moth struggled to 33 the body through that little hole. Soon it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had 34 as far as it could and it could go no farther. It just seemed to be stuck. So the man, out of his kindness, decided to help the moth. He took a pair of scissors and cut off the 35 bit of the cocoon. The 36 then came out easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriven(无用的) wings. The man continued to watch the moth because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and 37 to be able to support the 38 , which would get smaller in time. Neither happened!

Hope was a twelve-year-old girl who was 40 a "wish" in early December 2010 by the "Make-A-Wish" Foundation after being 41 that she had a rare type of bone cancer.However, when she found out that more than 150 42 in her area were waiting for their wishes to be granted (实现) , she unselfishly used her wish to 43 that those children have their wishes granted.She also asked tW it be done 44 January 16, 2011.Unfortunately, however, the organization informed her that her 45 request could not be granted as the funds (资金) were simply 46 .They calculated that they would need to raise more than one 47 dollars in thirty days in order to grant her wish. 48 , but not discouraged, she turned her disappointment into an enthusiasm that inspired caring 49 to take up helping grant the wishes of the other children, and eventually 50 as well.Newspaper columnists and reporters for radio and TV stations 51 the story of this caring young girl who had 52 the hearts of so many and as word spread, the community was challenged.Committees were fanned and schools, corporations and various organizations assisted in 53 money to help make Hope's dream come true. Her efforts were not in vain as they continue to help others, not only 54 , but spiritually and emotionally as well.At the gathering to celebrate her life, "A Celebration of Hope" on January 16, 2011 , the 55 was made that they had indeed received donations totaling more than one million dollars.Her wish had been granted! 36.A.heard B.thought C.cared D.talked 37.A.coincidence B.independence C.convenience D.intelligence 38.A.lost B.carried C.expected D.housed 39.A.Until B.Unless C.Though D.If 40.A.expressed B.offered C.made D.sent 41.A.recognized B.informed C.reminded D.understood 42.A.children B.citizens C.villagers D.relatives 43.A.suggest B.ask C.arrange D.order 44.A.for B.to C.on D.by 45.A.final B.formal C.simple D.noble 46.A.unbearable B.unbelievable C.unavailable D.uncomfortable 47.A.thousand B.hundred C.million D.billion 48.A.Disappointed B.Surprised C.Worried D.Embarrassed 49.A.committees B.individuals C.corporations D.organizations 50.A.theirs B.ours C.hers D.yours 51.A.wrote B.read C.broadcast D.shared 52.A.touched B.examined C.won D.opened 53.A.finding B.spending C.raising D.borrowing 54.A.perfectly B.physically C.healthily D.thankfully 55.A.proposal B.decision C.conclusion D.announcement 【答案】AADCB BABDD CCABC DACBD 10. 【2012届·河北省唐山一中高三第一学期期中考试】 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A strong wind was blowing hard,thunder was rumbling(雷声隆隆地响),and lightning flashed across the dark sky.Rain was 36 down:it looked as if heaven had been broken open.

I decided to go out with two of my friends to have a 31 drink. The first half of the evening was filled with them 32 me about safety in foreign countries and telling me to be 33 in all the dangerous places I was visiting. As the night progressed we all got very drunk and rude 34 it was the last time we would see each other for some time. Come closing time at about 1 am, we walked 35 out of the pub and began to make our way home. As we were making our way through the risky neighborhood, five random robbers jumped out of a lane and for no apparent reason began to 36 me and my friends. Luckily a large group of slightly nicer individuals appeared on the scene and came to our aid, 37 the robbers away. Apart from a few cuts and stolen mobile phones, no one was too badly hurt and within a few minutes we were 38 about the whole suffering. However, what happened next wasn’t so funny (for me at least). As we 39 our walk home a police car pulled up and a group of officers 40 and surrounded us. We began to explain that we were all right and there was no need to give any statement, but we were all told to 41 up. Two particularly large officers then 42 me and threw me in the back of the car, before ordering my friends home. I was still a little drunk and before I could 43 what was happening I was in a police station being told to empty my pockets. Following some brief questions and being informed that I was 44 for attack, I was thrown in a cell and told I would be 45 tomorrow. I spent the night worrying that in my 46 confusion I had hit and hurt someone, however these worries were put to rest in the morning when a kind elderly officer entered my cell with a blanket and a cup of tea. A few minutes later I was being handed back my 47 and having antiseptic cream(消毒膏) put on my black eye. It turned out that one of the gang who jumped me and my friends resembled me and was wearing 48 clothes, leading the police to 49 me for him when looking at CCTV footage. After a few awkward 50 I was told that they needed the cell space so I had to leave. They didn’t even offer me the bus fare home. The funniest part?

As my year as chief resident(进修医生) drew to a close, I asked myself this question 36 more than one occasion. The answer, I concluded, was 37 . When you can say to yourself, “There is no surgical patient I cannot treat competently, treat just 38 or better than any other surgeon” — then, and not until then, you are 39 a surgeon. I was 40 that point. 41 , for example, the emergency situations that we met almost every night. The first few months of the year I had 42 the ringing of the telephone. I knew it meant another critical decision to be 43 . Often, after I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular 44 , I’d have trouble getting back to sleep. I’d 45 all the facts of the case and, often, wonder 46 I had made a poor decision. More than once at two or three in the 47 , after lying awake for an hour, I’d get out of 48 , dress and drive to the hospital to see the patient myself. It was the only 49 I could find the 50 of mind I needed to relax. Now, in the last month of my residency, 51 was no longer a problem. Sometimes I still couldn’t be sure of my decision, but I had learned to 52 this as a constant problem for a surgeon. I knew that with my knowledge and experience, any decision I’d made was bound to be a 53 one. It was a nice feeling. This all sounds conceited(自负的) and I guess it is — 54 a surgeon needs conceit. He needs it to encourage him in trying moments when he’s bothered by the 55 and uncertainties that are part of the practice of medicine. He has to feel that he’s as good as and probably better than any other surgeon in the world. Call it conceit — call it self-confidence; whatever it was, I had it. 36. A. at B. in C. on D. for 37. A. self-service B. self-centered C. self-reliant D. self-confidence 38. A. as good as B. as well as C. as far as D. as long as 39. A. indeed B. maybe C. perhaps D. even 40.

During the next year and one-month the two 26 knew each other through the mail. A Romance was budding. John requested her 27 , but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it 28 matter what she looked like. Later they 29 their first meeting 7:00 pm at Grand Central Station in New York. “You’ll recognize me,” she wrote, “by the red 30 I’ll be wearing on my suit.” 31 at 7:00 he was in the station looking for the girl with the red rose. A young woman in a 32 suit was coming toward him, her figure long and slim and her eyes were blue as flowers. Almost 33 he made one step closer to her, and just at this moment he saw Hollis Maynell-a woman well past 40. The girl was walking quickly 34 . He felt as though he split in two, so strong was his desire to 35 her, and yet so deep was his longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned him. He did not hesitate and said, "I’m John, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so 36 you could meet me; may I take you to 37 ?" The woman smiled, “I don’t know what this is about, son,” she answered, “but the young lady in the green suit begged me to 38 this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should tell you that she is waiting for you in the 39 across the street.

I 21 your opinion from. The L. A. Times with my family and thought about you as my student at Hibbing High School.” It was 22 Margarel Leibfried, — a teacher who helped me believe that I could become 23 . Thirty years ago, in Hibbing, I 24 high school as a bookish introvert(内向)made all the more shy because I was the school’s only non—while student. I always felt 25 being swept away by a sea of golden hair schoolmates. By 10th grade, I’d developed strange behavior, hoping to 26 being laughed at as a “brain”. I spent a lot of time alone, reading and writing stories. Ms. Leibfried taught composition grammar, as well as the usual – memorizing vocabulary and reading 27 . Exciting to me, that is. Many of my classmates expressed dislike for novels because they were “not real.” For once, I didn’t care what they thought. Ms. Leibfried seemed to notice my 28 in both reading and writing, and she took the time to draw me out; she 29 offered reading suggestions. That year’s big task was a book report, to be read aloud to 30 . 31 , Ms. Leibfried suggested I do something “a little different.” Instead of a report. I was to 32 a passage from a book, memorize it and reeite it in front of the class. The morning of the presentations, I remember 33 sweating(出汗)so badly as I walked to the front of the class that I held my hands 34 in prayer(祈祷)formation, so I wouldn’t wipe them on my shirt. I finished and, 35 , the class broke out in applause(鼓掌). “As a writer and a good reader, Marie has 36 a particularly sensitive part of novel and 37 it beautifully,” Ms. Leibfried said, smiling. I felt, maybe for the first time, confident. I can now appreciate how much 38 it must have taken for those teachers to let me move away so 39 from the lesson plan. With today’s pressure on teachers to “teach to the test,” I wonder if any would or could take the time to find the potential(潜力)in a single, 40 student. Good teaching helps make productive and fully realized adults – a result that won’t show up in each term’s test scores. 21.A.shared B.proved C.introduced D.explained 22.A.written B.signed C.marked D.said 23.A.a student B.a teacher C.a writer D.an adult 24.A.left B.served C.entered D.missed 25.A.in charge of B.in honor of C.in danger of D.in need of 26.A.escape B.stand C.enjoy D.admit 27.A.news B.poems C.novels D.diaries 28.A.mistakes B.interest C.condition D.trouble 29.A.still B.never C.only D.even 30.A.the teachers B.the parents C.the class D.the public 31.A.Therefore B.However C.Besides D.Otherwise 32.A.pick B.write C.read D.describe 33.A.my face B.my legs C.my hands D.my neck 34.A.cupped B.closed C.tied D.covered 35.A.to my sadness B.to my surprise C.to my joy D.to my delight 36.A.looked out B.picked out C.put out D.carried out 37.A.carried B.drew C.delivered D.designed 38.A.courage B.attention C.knowledge D.pleasure 39.A.seriously B.broadly C.similarly D.carly 40.A.good B.bad C.shy D.strange 【答案】21-25 ABCCC 26-30 ACBDC 31-35 BACAB 36-40 BCABC 2. 【2011·河北邢台市一模】 完型填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 “Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced 21 . “If you carry on, one day 22 good will happen.

Money was always tight, but we had a 21 over our head, food on the table, clothes on our backs, and if not a lot, always 22 . Not knowing we were poor, my kids just thought I was strict. I’ve always been glad about that. It was Christmas time, and although there wasn’t money for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party. But the big 23 for the kids was the fun of Christmas. Fortunately, I had saved $120 for 24 to share by all five of us. The big 25 arrived. I gave each kid a twenty – dollar bill and 26 them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered. We had two hours to shop; then we would meet back at the “Santa’s Workshop”. Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, except my younger daughter, Ginger, who was unusually 27 . She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies - fifty – cent candies! I was so angry, but I didn’t say anything until we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed as the door, ready to be angry again. This is what she told me. “ I was looking around 28 of what to buy, and I stopped to read the little cards on the ‘Giving Trees’.

Some people find it difficult to 36 Bjork’s music. Her sound is an acquired taste, but 37 you get into it, you’re hooked. After the 38 press conference, I was 39 to a room where we did a one-on-one 40 for radio. I was surprised at how intelligent and pleasant she was. And fun. The 41 at Worker’s Stadium was unbelievably wonderful. Barefoot for most of the show, Bjork 42 the audience’s interest with her music and her spirit. However, an incident gave me an impression that she was unusual and moody. The next day I was invited to go to the Great Wall with a lot of 43 who were to take pictures of Bjork. She was with her son and did not seem to be in the 44 for the photographers. She stood and stared at the ground, not facing the 45 . Then suddenly, she ran off to the 46 , out to her waiting bus, and sped back to Beijing. It was strange to see since she had been so 47 with the press a few days before. After leaving Beijing, she went on to perform in Hong Kong and Thailand. In a story that 48 around the world, she jumped on and attacked a female reporter at the Bangkok airport who 49 said, “Welcome to Thailand!” You may have seen her at the Academy Awards a few years ago when she 50 in that usual swan costume, 51 perhaps her performance of Oceania at the opening ceremony of the 2004 Greece Olympics.

And if you think you are attractive, don't say it. This is what Jane Lin did for her husband Ang Lee, who last week became the first Asian to have 41 the best director Oscar award for his love movie "Brokeback Mountain." Ang Lee was 42 upon graduation with a master's degree in film production from New York University in 1984. He had to stay at home as a 43 husband until 1990. Jane did not for once think of leaving him, 44 would many modern girls who are 45 to play with rich directors and abandon them once they're 46 on their luck. 47 despair surrounded her now and then, Jane 48 Ang and believed he was cut out to be a genius 49 - only his time had not yet 50 . For six years, Ang was supported 51 by Jane, who earned a meager salary as a microbiologist in the United States. At one time, Ang wanted to 52 computer science so as to find a job quickly, but Jane 53 . She simply would not let her poor but 54 husband go out and find just any old job. In 55 six years, Ang wrote many screenplays and at the same time became a great cook. Ang has said time and 56 that he would never have 57 without Jane's love and trust. But 58 an Associated Press story released on Wednesday, Jane said 59 : "I did not support him, I just left him alone." The Associated Press quoted Taiwanese producer Huang Yi-kung, who produced Ang's famed Chinese-language movies - "The Wedding Banquet" in 1993 and "Eat Drink Man Woman" in 1994 —as saying that Ang's thanks to Jane and memories of past 60 were never superficial. 41.

We had not 22 much from the war there, though, like most children of my age, I often saw 23 houses in the streets and the very big 24 lorries passing through. But both at home and at school I had become 25 to the phrases “before the war” and “when the war is over”. “Before the war”, obviously, 26 had been better, though I was too young to understand why, 27 there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice cream and bananas, which I had 28 heard of. When the war was over we would go back to London, but this meant very 29 to me. I did not remember what London was like. What I remember now 30 V-Day was the afternoon and the evening. Some boys and girls were collecting 31 and building an enormous bonfire. We stood and watched them for a time, and then I went home and 32 myself in with my key and waited for my parents to come back from work. It was May and still broad 33 when my mother arrived, and my father came in about an hour later. After dinner I said I wanted to 34 the bonfire, so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street. The bonfire was very 35 , and somehow people had collected some old clothes to 36 “Hitler” with the moustache they had put on top of it. Just as we arrived, they set light to it. The flames 37 soon. Everyone was cheering and shouting. I stood beside my father until the 38 started to go down, not knowing what to say. He said nothing, either.

The student next to me was filling her page with “I Can’ts.” “I can’t kick the soccer ball.” “I can’t get Debbie to like me.” Her page was half full and she showed no 39 of stopping. I walked down the row and found 40 was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do. By this time the activity aroused my 41 , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on 42 I noticed she too was busy writing. “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” …… I felt it best not to 43 . After another ten minutes, the students were 44 to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoe box. Then Donna 45 hers.

The box of “I Can’ts” was placed at the 47 of the hole and then quickly covered with dirt. At this point Donna announced, “Boys and girls, please join hands and 48 your heads.” They quickly formed a circle around the grave.

Amen!” She turned the students 52 and marched them back into the classroom. They celebrated the 53 of “I Can’t”. Donna cut a large tombstone from paper. She wrote the words “I Can’t” at the top and the date at the bottom, then hung it in the classroom. On those rare occasions when a student 54 and said, “I Can’t,” Donna 55 pointed to the paper tombstone. The student then remembered that “I Can’t” was dead and chose other statement. 36.

Nora played and when it came time to say goodbye, we three hugged, I walked home in tears. Professionals call such a(n) 51 “a volunteer opportunity”. They are opportunities, I’ve come to see.
