D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。 A Like many other parts of our lives today, education has become a global enterprise. In microcosm(微观世界), my school is proof of just how global. Monkseaton High School is an ordinary state-funded school of 850 students in the unfashionable part of northeastern England. Over the past seven years it has sent 12 students to American universities --- two of them to Harvard. Monkseaton has, in turn, attracted students from other countries, including Germany and Latvia. Monkseaton now almost routinely receives inquiries from students in Eastern European countries. Obviously, learning English is a big draw, but his pattern of student movement was unheard of five years ago. The brain drain is a universal phenomenon, and countries that don’t face up to the new reality will be losing some of their most precious resources. The northeast of England is its poorest region, and has experienced a severe loss of highly qualified professionals-to-be. Some of the most able 18-year-olds are going to other parts of Britain, even to other countries. What is happening here is happening to Britain as a whole. Most noticeably, there is a growing trend of British ‎ students taking degrees in American universities. This year the number will break the psychological barrier of 1,000 students for the first time. And what is happening at the secondary-school level is happening to higher education. Wherever they come from, today’s students have a very different perspective on education from their parents. Because of television, the Internet and their travels, these students see the world as a much smaller place than their parents once did. They are more confident in accepting the challenge of moving from one country to another, from one culture to another; in many cases they can even apply to schools over the Internet. Students are also more aware of the overall cost of education and are looking for value for money. Plus, for many, education linked to travel is a better option than education at home. 41. Why does the author say education has become a global enterprise? A. Monkseaton High School used to be a very unfashionable school in the Northeast England. B. Monkseaton High School is now one of the state-funded middle schools in England. C. Monkseaton High School has sent two top students to the Harvard University in U.S. D. There is now an extensive exchange of students among different countries. 42.What can we infer about northeast England from the passage? A. It is one of the poorest regions in England. B. It has experienced a severe loss of professionals. C. It will face a more serious brain drain in the near future. D. It is losing its young talents to other parts of the world. 43. According to the passage, students today have different perspective from their parents on the following EXCEPT that _________________. A. education linked to travel is much better than education at home B. overall cost of education should be considered against money value C. moving from one culture to another is a welcomed challenge D. the Internet is more popular ‎ and easier to access in the near future 44. The students today tend to see the world as a much smaller place NOT because __________. A. they are having more exposure to the television programs B. they are having easier access to the Internet C. they are having frequent travels to the other parts of the world D. they are having better communication with their parents 45. The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to __________. A. tell us the benefit of globalization of education B. analyze the causes for students’ moving trend in Great Britain C. criticize the universal phenomenon of brain drain worldwide D. draw attention to students’ moving from one country to another B Art Calendar Walking Tours of the Museum’s collections (fee with admission contribution) are offered daily and on weekends by Museum-trained volunteers.

So, as a police officer, I have some urgent things to say to good people. Day after day my men and I struggle to hold back a tidal wave of crime. Something has gone terribly wrong with our once-proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values. A key ingredient is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability. Accountability isn’t hard to define. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and liable for their consequences. Of the many values that hold ‎ civilization together --- honesty, kindness, and so on --- accountability may be the most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law --- and, ultimately, no society. My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who refuse, or have never learned, to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows, external controls on people’s behavior are far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame and embarrassment. Fortunately there are still communities --- smaller towns, usually --- where schools maintain discipline and where parents hold up standards that declare: “In this family certain things are not tolerated --- they simply are not done!” Yet more and more, especially in our larger cities and suburbs, these inner restraints are loosening. Your typical robber has none. He considers your property his property; he takes what he wants, including your life if you annoy him. The main cause of this breakdown is a radical shift in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, in a shocking reversal, it’s the criminal who is considered victimized: by his underprivileged (被剥夺基本社会权利的) upbringing, by the school that didn’t teach him to read, by the church that failed to reach him with moral guidance, by the parents who didn’t provide a stable home. I don’t believe it. Many others in equally disadvantaged circumstances choose not to engage in criminal activities. If we free the criminal, even partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything. We in America desperately need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it.. 50. What the wise man said suggests that it’s __________. A. unnecessary for good people to do anything ‎ in face of evil B. certain that evil will be widespread if good men do nothing about it C. only natural for good men to defeat evil D. desirable for good men to keep away from evil 51. According to the author, if a person is found guilty of a crime, ________. A. society is to be held responsible B. modern civilization is responsible for it C. the criminal himself should bear the blame D. the standards of living should be improved 52. Compared with those in small towns, people in large cities have ________. A. less self-discipline B. better sense of discipline C. more respect to each other D. less effective government 53. The writer is sorry to have noticed that ________. A. people in large cities tend to excuse criminals B. people in small towns still stick to old discipline and standards. C. today’s society lacks sympathy for people in difficulty D. people in disadvantaged circumstances are engaged in criminal activities 54. The key point of the passage is that ________. A. stricter discipline should be maintained in schools and families B. more good examples should be set for people to follow C. more attention should be paid to people’s behavior D. more people should accept the value of accountability D Is language, like food, a basic human need without which a child at a critical period of life can be starved and damaged? Judging from the experiment of Frederick in the thirteenth century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent. All the infants died before the first year. But clearly there was more than lack of language here. What was missing was mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected. Today no such severe lack exists as that ordered by Frederick. Nevertheless, some children are still backward in ‎ speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to learn language rapidly. If there sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again. A bird learns to sing and to fly at the right time, but the process is slow and hard once the critical stage has passed. Experts suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed order and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ. At twelve weeks a baby smiles and makes vowel-like sounds; at twelve months they can speak simple words and understand simple commands; at eighteen months he has a vocabulary of three to five words. At three he knows about 1,000 words, which he can put into sentences, and at four his language differs from that of his parents in style rather than grammar. Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about man’s brain, compared with that of the monkey, is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of, say, a toy-bear with the sound pattern “toy bear”. And even more incredible is the young brain’s ability to pick out an order in language from the mixture of sound around him, to analyze, to combine and recombine the parts of a language in new ways. But speech has to be induced（激发，引起）, and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the signals in the children’s babbling（咿呀声）,grasping and smiling, and responds to them. Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals. Sensitivity to the child’s nonverbal signals is essential to the growth and development of language.‎ ‎ 55. The writer mentioned the experiment of Frederick to __________. A. support his idea B. introduce his topic C. describe a new finding D. give an example of his theory 56. The purpose of Frederick’s experiment was to __________. A. prove that children are born with the ability to speak B. discover what language a child would speak without hearing any human speech C. find out what role careful nursing would play in teaching a child to speak D. prove that a child could be damaged without learning a language 57. The reason why some children are backward in speaking is most probably that ________. A. they are not able to learn language rapidly B. they are exposed to too much language at once C. their mothers do not respond enough to their attempts to speak D. their mothers are not clever enough to help them 58. If a child starts to speak later than others, he will __________ in future. A. have a high IQ B. be less intelligent C. be insensitive to verbal signals D. not necessarily be backward 59. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. A child is born with the ability to speak. B. A child’s brain has a complex system which helps to connect the sight and feel of an object. C. A child can produce his own sentences. D. A child owes his speech ability to good nursing. 60. According to the passage, the writer agrees that__________. A. the infants will certainly die because of lack of language. B. all children learn their language in fixed stages C. the child’s brain is highly selective D. insensitivity to the child’s non-verbal signals will not affect the development of the child’s language 第二节：下面文章中有5处（第61-65题）需要添加小标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。 A. Make sure the respondent has enough information B. Remember your ‎ survey’s purpose C. Keep your questions simple D. Include only one topic per question E. If in doubt, throw it out F. Avoid leading questions Write more effective survey questions Naturally, no question is “good” in all situations, but there are some general rules to follow. Using these rules and examples will help you write useful questions. 61.________________ All other rules and guidelines are based on this one. There was a reason you decided to spend your time and money to do your survey, and you should ensure that every question you ask supports that reason. If you start to get lost while writing your questions, refer back to this rule. 62. ________________ This is another way of stating the first rule, but it is important enough to repeat. A question should never be included in a survey because you can’t think of a good reason to discard it. If you cannot come up with a concrete benefit that will result from the question, don’t use it. 63._________________ Compound sentences force respondents to keep a lot of information in their heads, and are likely to produce unpredictable results. Example: “Imagine a situation where the production supervisor is away from the line, a series of defective parts is being manufactured, and you just heard that a new client requires ten thousand of these parts in order to make their production schedule. How empowered do you feel by your organization to stop the line and make the repairs to the manufacturing equipment?” This question is too complex for a clear, usable answer. Try breaking it down into components parts. 64. ________________ How would you interpret the responses to “Please rate your satisfaction with the amount and kind of care you received while in the hospital.” or, a question asking about speed and accuracy? If you want to be able to come up with specific recommended actions, you need specific questions. 65.‎ ‎ ________________ Asking respondents “How effective has this company’s new distribution program been?” may not be as effective as “Recently, we used a new distribution system. Did you know this?” Followed by “Have you seen any positive benefits resulting from this change?” It can be beneficial to break down questions that require background information into two parts: a screening item describing the situation which asks if the respondent knows about it, and a follow-up question addressing attitudes the respondent has about the topic.‎ 非选择题部分（共40分） 注意事项： 用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔将答案写在答题纸上，不能答在试题卷上。 第三部分：写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节：短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 下面短文中有10处语法错误。请在有错误的地方增加、删除或修改某个单词。 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧）,并在其下面写上该加的词。 删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写上修改后的词。 注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2.只允许修改10处，多者（从11处起）不计分。 例如： It was very nice to get your invitation to spend ∧ weekend with you. Luckily the I was/are completely free then, so I’ll to say “yes”. I’ll arrive in Bristol at around 8 p.m. in/on Friday evening Animation means making things which are lifeless coming alive. From earliest times, people have always attracted by movement, but it is not until this century we have managed to capture movement and to record them. In the world of cartoon animation, nothing is impossible. You can make the creating characters do exactly which you want them. A famous early cartoon character was Felix the Cat. Felix was a nice cat, who could do all sorts of things no natural cat could do like taking off his tail, using it as handle and then putting it back. Most of the great early animators lived and worked in America, the home of the moving picture industry. Thus, to be an animator, you don't have to be a professional. It is impossible for anyone to make a simple animated film without using a camera at all. All you have to do is draw direct on to blank film and then run a projector.‎ 第二节：书面表达（满分30分） 2014年2月14日是中国传统节日元宵节，同时也是西方的情人节。当中西两个节日重叠在一起时，很多人都在热议我们更倾向于过哪个节日。请以“守住中国的传统节日”为话题，用英语写一篇100-120词的短文，表达你的观点。 要求如下： 1． 明确自己的观点。 2． 阐明理由，可举例说明。 3． 文章开头已给出，不计入词数。 The lanterns festival and the Valentine’s Day coincide on February, 14th, 2014, which makes people discuss heatedly which festival to celebrate that day. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________‎ 鄞州余姚2014年高考模拟考试参考答案 英语 第一部分 第一节（10分，每小题0.5分） 1单选.ADDDB CACBA CDDDC BACDC 第二节（20分，每小题1分） 2.完型DBCAD BCADB ACBAC DBDCB 第二部分（50分，每小题2分） 3. 阅读：A：DCDDB B：DACA C：BCAAD D：BBCDDC 4. 任务型 BECDA 第三部分 第一节（10分，每小题1分） 5. 改错：coming ----come always been attracted that we have them---it creating ---created that---what as a handle Thus---However impossible---possible direct---directly 第二节（30分） 6. 书面表达： Possible version: The Lantern Festival and the Valentine’s Day coincide on February, 14th, 2014, which makes people discuss heatedly which festival to celebrate that day.‎ ‎ It is not wrong for us to adopt some western festivals, however, it is more important for us to learn how to celebrate our Chinese festivals. In my perspective, as a Chinese, it is a custom as well as a responsibility for us to celebrate the Chinese traditional festivals. On the one hand, all the traditional festivals date back to hundreds of years ago, which is a symbol of our culture and civilization. Not only should we celebrate the Chinese festivals for fun, but also we should have a better knowledge of their background and origins. Therefore, various activities should be organized to add to the atmosphere of the festivals. On the other hand, all of the Chinese people should take the responsibility to pass our culture down from one generation to another, so that our future generations can also learn what to do in those traditional festivals, just as we do today. To sum up, Chinese tradition should be preserved and promoted. Nobody expects such a consequence that our priceless heritage of our ancestors is replaced by western traditions. So let’s join hands to keep Chinese tradition.‎
