My early 36 of gardening may not have originated 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. 36. A. memory B. dream C. intention D. design 37. A. please B. change C. help D. annoy 38. A. doubt B. appreciation C. surprise D. excitement 39. A. collect up B. care about C. clean up D. come in 40. A. equal B. similar C. superior D. opposite 41.

Eventually 第6页 | 共17页45. A. Instead B. However C. Therefore D. Besides 46. A. shouted B. lagghed C. glanced D. jumped 47. A. convenient B. troublesome C. enjoyable D. dangerous 48. A. sadness B. displeasure C. delight D. relief 49. A. other than B. more than C. rather than D. less than 50. A. dislike B. encouragement C. threat D. suggestion 51.

A. freedom B. life C. growth D. nature 37.答案:D 【解析】:根据 38.答案:A 【解析】:根据前文 At that time, we had a big yard in which a beautiful maple tree stood.可知作 者很喜欢秋天院子里漂亮的枫树。But 一转折,可知母亲并不认为这是大自然的杰作,而是 觉得满地的枫叶是令人烦恼的垃圾,所以对此持怀疑态度(doubt)。 39.答案:C 【解析】:考查短语。根据上文Those golden leaves seemed like tons of rubbish to her,既然 母亲认为这些落叶是垃圾,自然应该清理掉(clean up)呀。A. collect up 搜集,B. care about 对…感兴趣;关心,C. clean up整顿;改进;清理,D. come in进入;到来;出现。 40.答案:D 【解析】:上文提到,母亲认为满地的枫叶是垃圾,父亲看到邻居忙于园艺觉得是浪费时 间,而作者偏偏喜欢上了园艺,12岁就成了园艺家,可知作者行事总是与父母意愿相违背。 既然他们认为无聊,让人烦恼(upsetting),“我”偏要去做。作为常识,12岁的年纪也正是 较反叛的,故选D. opposite对立的,相反的。 41.答案:C 【解析】:参考上一题。 44.答案:D 【解析】:看着一个个花骨朵含苞待放,我终于(Eventually)被大自然的神奇的所感动。 45.答案:B 【解析】:尽管“我”种的花开满了园子,然而(However)父母对此并不感兴趣。 46.答案:A 第7页 | 共17页【解析】:当“我”将花圃弄到车道边的时候,父亲觉得十分恼火(troublesome),甚至冲 我大吼大叫(shout),而不是笑(laugh),匆匆一瞥(glance)或者跳起来(jump)。 47.答案:B 【解析】:参考上一题。 48.答案:B 【解析】:对于母亲来说,我所种植的玫瑰花不过是野草,而并不是什么鲜花,所以当我把 真的玫瑰花插在花瓶里的时候,她一点都不高兴。 53.答案:D 【解析】:根据上文,作者当初选择园艺,完全是与父母意愿背道而驰,只不过是为了挑 战他们的权威。 54.答案:A 【解析】:作者现在已经成名,从事园艺教学,并且主办了园艺展,父母自然是相当骄傲、 自豪(proud)。 55.答案:D 【解析】:上文提到My early 36 of gardening may not have originated from my love for nature. 和I was touched by this land of wonder.可知正是作者对大自然的热爱才让他成了真正 的园艺行家。 【评析】今年的完型在选材上讲述作者小时候的爱好从而影响以后从事园艺工作的记叙文, 题目设置以实词为主、虚词为辅,而且短语考查相对较多。严格遵守首行不设空的高考命 题要求。要在完型拿下高分,考生需保持思维的一贯性及注重前后文联系。切记不能像做 单选一样,做一道扔一道。现在的完型已经不考语法,大大增加了上下文推理出题的比例。 攻克完形填空,考生如果想节省时间并保证正确率,那建议读文章两遍。仅读一次不易拿 下高分,读三遍过于消耗时间。 三、阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分) 请阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题 卡上将该选项的标号涂黑。 第8页 | 共17页56.

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. Go to See the Mona Lisa? There must be something about the mysterious(神秘的) smile. The 6 million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can’t all be wrong, after all. But they can be quite annoying, standing in front of you, holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything. In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly because you have to stay away from it for security reasons. After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15 seconds at most. If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn’t just be smiling, she’d be laughing. So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101 Tings NOT to Do Before You Die. Visit www. not2dobeforeidie. co. uk and buy the book at a 20% discount. 60. According to the passage, swimming with dolphins________. 第10页 | 共17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 61. What does the author think about going to see the Mona Lisa? A. It is wrong to go and see the mysterious smile. B. It is not as satisfying as expected. C. Fifteen seconds in front of the painting is enough. D. Queuing for hours is worthwhile. 62. The list of “101 things not to do”is made most probably because its author_______. A. thinks it boring to do the things suggested by other lists B. believes other lists are not humorous enough C. intends to persuade people to read more lists D. wants to provide a list different from other lists 63. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To advertise a book [来源:学科网] B. To introduce a website C. To comment on popular lists D. To recommend tourist activities. C 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 第11页 | 共17页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 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 65. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed? A. By giving descriptions. B. By follweing time order. C. By analyzing causes. D. By making comparisons. 66. What is Ben Nevis special for? A. The Inverlochy Castle Hotel. B. The beauty of its surroundings. C. The water from the mountain. D. The challenge up to its top. 67. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists. B. To show the attractions of Scotland to readers. C. To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland. D. To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland. 【语篇解读】本文为说明文,介绍了苏格兰迷人的自然风光,而要享受苏格兰的传统,品着 威士忌,湖边垂钓是再惬意不过的事啦。 64. 答案 B 【解析】推理题。维多利亚女王都说“I never saw a lovelier spot”,那这个 the Inverlochy Castle 一定是苏格兰值得一去的好地方罗。 65. 答案 A 【解析】组织结构题。文章第二段通过景物细节描写,给大家展现了苏格兰是一个多么美丽、 迷人的好地方。在这么优美的环境中垂钓怎能不激起读者前往的欲望? 第12页 | 共17页D 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 We st 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 ______.

E 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. 第14页 | 共17页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 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? A. They want to show their superiority. B. They find specialty important to meals. C. Their demands for food are not easily satisfied. D. Their choice of dinner is related to ideas of quality. 74. What does the underlined word “escalation”in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Understanding. B. Increase. C. Difference. D. Study. 75. The author of the passage argues that ______. A. absolute needs have no limits B. demands for quality are not insatiable C. human desires influsnce ideas of quality D. relative needs decide most of our spending 【评析】阅读,是英语考试的重头戏。要想英语考试中拿高分,既快又好地完成阅读是强 力保证。速度和质量,两者缺一不可。本次高考英语阅读,从体裁内容上看,依然是故事 记叙文(A篇)、广告应用文(B篇)、说明文(C篇、D篇)、议论文(E篇)等。从题 目类别上看,传统四大类题型如词汇题(57、74题)细节题(56题)主旨题(59题)推 理题(64题)和新题型结构题(65题)。今年考试阅读难度中等。 四、写作(共两节,满分35分) 第15页 | 共17页第一节 短文改错(共10小题;每小题1份,满分10分) 以下标有题号的每一行均有一个错误,请找出,并按下列情况改正: 此行多一个词:把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉,在该行右边横线上写出该词,并也用斜线划 掉。 此行缺一个词:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧),在该行右边横线上写出该加的词。 此行错一个词:在错的词下划一横线,在该行右边横线上写出改正后的词。 注意:请在答题卡上作答。 Dear Grandpa, How are you those days?

It has helped me a lot with my English. Whenever I met with difficulities, I turned to her and finally get the answer. So now my English is cool, especially my wrttten English. There are about 8,000 words in the dictionary and the example sentences in it are so beautiful that once you see it, you’ll find it hard to tear youself from it. However, with time going by, I have to say goodbye to this friend. Besides, at the present time I am in great need of an iPod because I am crazy about music. Furthermore, I can use it to download a lot from the Internet. So if you have a second-hand iPod and have an appetite for my dictionary, please leave message here and I will get in touch with you. Many thanks. 第17页 | 共17页
