2012年英语高考试题秉承了以往的难度适中，不偏不怪，展现了交际原则与生活感。
在选材上，有一些创新，其中作文题尤为时髦，学生需要用英语发布网上物品交换信息。
为2013新高考做出了平稳铺垫。
听力题，还是采用传统的美式英语，语速适中，比较简单，语音语调比较清晰，和平时
学生练习的内容差不多。单选题，覆盖了大纲要求的大部分语法知识点，在语言考试中，对
交际语言的考察向来重视。在单选设置上有了创新，其中一题情景题虽然简单，但所考交际
用语从未在其它省市高考题中出现，内容涉及朋友之间的邀请用语，学生读来很有兴趣。完
形题，采用了一篇记叙文，材料地道，体现了人文教育的理念。读懂大意容易，但也有一定
的梯度和区分度，符合高考选拔性考试的要求。各种题型分布合理，难度适中。个别空需要
学生跨越句子和段落去寻找线索，重点考查学生对语境的理解和英语词汇的应用能力。
完型与阅读一向是拉开差距的题型，今年这两道题材料选择地道，强调上下文对照，重
点考察学生对语境的理解，以及交际性用语。对于考生来说，阅读题相对亲切，与去年相比
甚至更简单。从文章体裁来看，A篇记叙文，B篇应用文，C、D两篇说明文，E篇议论文。
五篇文章中前三篇难度较小，但后两篇生词、难度都增多，选项难度较大，尤其最后一篇阅
读，易丢分。今年短文改错覆盖的考点也较为传统，文章选择是一篇类似学生习作的给爷爷
的一封书信。
“英语作文题让人眼前一亮，不仅时髦还很环保！”英语作文是一篇半开放式作文，形式
采用学生熟悉的汉语提示，要求写一篇“发布网上物品交换信息”的作文，和学生生活贴得
很近。基础差的考生容易上手，基础好的学生则有足够发挥空间。这类作文学生都能动手写
作，但是如果要得高分，以下几个因素缺一不可：好的开头结尾、行文逻辑清晰、高级词汇
及句型的使用、漂亮的书写和卷面。

from my love for nature. It was to 37 my parents.
At that time, we had a big yard in which a beautiful maple tree stood. But my mother often looked
with 38 at this work of natural art. Those golden leaves seemed like tons of rubbish to her,
“something else to 39 !” Seeing the neighbors busy with gardening, my father even thought it
a waste of time.
At that age, I always did something 40 to whatever my parents did! If gardening were
something they found 41 , I would plant a garden!
I planted some lily(百合花) seeds in the yard. But they failed to 42 . I continued to plant
sunflower seeds and roses. Wild 43 joy, I found the first rose bloom(开花). One by one, the
flowers bloomed their heads off. 44 , I was touched by this land of wonder.
45 , my parents showed no interest in my garden. My father even 46 at me because he
found it was 47 to move around my garden to the driveway. To my mother’s 48 , I put in
her vase my real roses which, in her eyes, were simply weeds 49 flowers.
Regardless of their 50 , I kept on planting my garden and 51 to enjoy the pleasure of
gardening. Plants make such good companions: they breathe, they bloom, they 52 to care and
love.
It has been many years since I made my first garden out of my desire to 53 my parents. Today
I become known as Mrs. Greenthumbs, teaching gardening and hosting a gardening show, which
makes my parents feel very 54 . And now I could say it is my affection for 55 that makes
me a real gardener.

Top lists are lecturing people on everything from “100 books to visit” to “100 books to read”.
Aren't you just tired of being told what to do with your time?
Now you have a list to end all lists!
Take a look at the following two examples from the list of "101 things not to do":
Swim with Dolphins(海豚)？
Swimming with dolphins is one of the world’s most profitable tourist activities. However, not
every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screaming and
pushing around them in the water. Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boats loaded with
tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers(螺旋桨).
Here’s a little secret. Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they’re just opening their
mouths.
60. According to the passage, swimming with dolphins________.
第6页 | 共11页A. is the world’s most popular tourist activity
B. gives fun to both tourists and dolphins
C. will make tourists busy and tired
D. can cause danger to dolphins

There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit of
whisky(威士忌) at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle. When Queen Victoria visited the
castle in 1873 she wrote in her diary, “I never saw a lovelier spot , ” And she didn’t even go
fishing.
Scotland is not easily defined. In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grass and
mountains changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange
light, the rivers, teeming with fish, can turn into streams of gold. As you settle down with just a
fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy castle, any
frustration(烦恼) will float away as gently as the circling water. It’s just you and purple, pink,
white flowers, seeking a perfect harmony. If you are a new comer to fishing, learning the basics
from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime’s fun. For many, fishing is more than a sport; it
is an art.
Scotland offers interesting places where you can rest after a long day’s fishing. Set against a wild
mountain and hidden behind woodland, the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is
a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland’s mountains. Ben Nevis is the highest of all British
mountains, and reaching its 1342-metre top is a challenge. But it’s not just what goes up what
matters; what comes down is unique. More than 900 metres high, on the mountain’s north face,
lies an all-important source of pure water. Its name comes form the Gaelic language “usquebaugh”
or “water of life”; and it is the single most important ingredient(原料) in scotland’s best known
drink: whisky.
64. The story of Queen Victoria is to show that _____.
A. the queen is rich in tour experience
第7页 | 共11页B. the Castle is a good place to go in Scotland
C. tasting whisky is better than going fishing
D. 1873 is a special year for the queen

To take the apple as a forbidden fruit is the most unlikely strory the Christians(基督教徒) have
ever cooked up. For them, the forbidden fruit from Eden is evil(邪恶的). So when Columbus
brought the tomato back from South America, a land mistakenly considered to be Eden, everyone
jumped to be the obvious conclusion. Wrongly taken as the apple of Eden, the tomato was shut out
of the door of Europeans.
What made it particularly terrifying was its similarity to the mandrake, a plant that was thought to
have come from Hell(地狱). What earned the plant its awful reputation was its roots which looked
like a dried-up human body occupied by evil spirits. Though the tomato and the mandrake were
quite different except that both had bright red or yellow fruit, the general population considered
them one and the same, too terrible to touch.
Cautious Europeans long ignored the tomato, and until the early 1700s most of the West people
continued to drag their feet. In the 1880s, the daughter of a well-known plant expert wrote that the
most interestinig part of an afternoon tea at her father’s house had been the “introduction of this
wonderful new fruit—or is it a vegetable?” As late as the twentieth century some writers still
classed tomatoes with mandrakes as an “evil fruit”.
But in the end tomatoes carried the day. The hero of the tomato was an American named Robert
Johnson, and when he was publicly going to eat the tomato in 1820, people journeyed for
hundreds of miles to watch him drop dead. “What are you afraid of?” he shouted. “I’ll show you
fools that these things are good to eat!” Then he bit into the tomato. Some people fainted. But he
survived and, according to a local story, set up a tomato-canning factory.
68. The tomato was shut out of the door of early Europeans mainly because ______.
A. it made Christive evil
第8页 | 共11页B. it was the apple of Eden
C. it came from a forbidden land
D. it was religiously unacceptable

In his 1930 essay “Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren”, John Keynes, a famous
ecconmist, wrote that human needs fall into two classes: absolute needs, which are independent of
what other have, and relative needs, which make us feel superior to our fellows. He thought that
although relative needs may indeed be insatiable(无止境的), this is not true of absolute needs.
Keynes was surely correct that only a small part of total spending is decided by the desire for
superiority. He was greatly mistaken, however, in seeing this desire as the only source of
insatiable demands.
Decisions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality which can influnce the demand for almost
all goods, including even basic goods like food. When a couple goes out for an anniversary dinner,
for example, the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them. Their goal is
to share a special meal that stands out from other meals.
There are no obvious limits to the escalation of demands for quality. For example, Porsche, a
famous car producer, has a model which was considered perhaps the best sport car on the market.
Priced at over $120, 000, it handles perfectly well and has great speed acceleration. But in 2004,
the producer introduced some changes which made the model slightly better in handling and
acceleration. People who really care about cars find these small improvements exciting. To get
them, however, they must pay almost four times the price.
By placing the desire to be superior to others at the heart of his description of insatiable demands,
Keynes actually reduced such demands. However, the desire for higher quality has no natural
limits.
72. According to the passage, John Keynes Believed that_______.
A. desire is the root of both absolute and relative needs
B. absolute needs come from our sense of superiority
第9页 | 共11页C. relative needs alone lead to insatiable demands
D. absolute needs are stronger than relative needs
73. What do we know about the couple in Paragraph 3?
