I met Mrs. Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the
directors. Almost instantly I loved her. She had an Unpleasant voice and a direct way of speaking,

me.
Mrs. Neidl would ask me for my 37 . She wanted to know how I thought we should 38
things. At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew 39 about stage design! But I slowly
began to respond to her 40 . It was cause and effect: She believed I had opinions, so I began to
41 them. She trusted me to complete things, so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 42
I was, so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me, so I began to believe in
myself.
Mrs. Neidl's 43 that year was, "Try it. We can always paint over it 44 !"I began to take
45 . I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing--only things to be 46
upon. I learned to dip my brush into the paint and 47 create something.
The shy, quiet freshman achieved success that year. I was 48 in the program
as "Student Art Assistant" because of the time and effort I'd put in. It was that yea r that I 49 I
wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design.
Being on that stage-design team 50 Mrs. Neidl changed me completely. Not only was I
stronger and more competent than I had thought, but I also 51 a strong interest and a world I
hadn't known existed. She taught me not to 52 what people think I should do: She taught me to
take chances and not be 53 . Mrs. Neidl was my comforter when I was upset. Her 54 in me

Goldie's Secret
She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away.
No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We're
moving house.'; "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her,
but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning
an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given
her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate
anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her
happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's. But
eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out
on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.
That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for
a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless.
Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in
the distance as fast as she could.
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her
licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn't know
what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after
the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and
got lost," added a boy from behind her. '
I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I've got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother.
And I've learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.
56. How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?
A. Shocked. B. Sympathetic. C. Annoyed. D. Upset.
57. In her first few days at the author's house, Goldie .
AI felt worried B. was angry
C. ate a little D. sat by the fire
58. Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she .
A. saw her puppies B. heard familiar barkings[来源:学科网]
C. wanted to leave the author D. found her way to her old home
59. The passage is organized in order of .
A. time B. effectiveness C. importance D. complexity

Open Letter to an Editor
I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently---one who works for you. In fact,
he's one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.
Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume (简历) and photocopies of six stories that he
wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked
about how he finds issues (问题), approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is
one of your best. I'm sure you would hate to lose h im. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy.
In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment (分工), and said you run a
great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him.
He appreciates the responsibility you've given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys
his freedom.
So why is he looking for a way out?
He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to
be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.
The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask
how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.
He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into grea t
ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea
upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for
your paper. That's what you want for him, too, isn't it?
So your reporter has set me thinking.
Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists---everyone--
is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we
can't do it, they'll find someone who can.
60. What does the writer think of the reporter?
A. Optimistic. B. Imaginative. C. Ambitious. D. Proud.
61. What does the reporter want most from his editors in their talks?
A. Finding the news value of his stories. B. Giving him financial support.
C. Helping him to find issues. D. Improving his good ideas.
62. Who probably wrote the letter?
A. An editor. B. An artist. C. A reporter. D. A reader.
63. The letter aims to remind editors that they should __[来源:学,科,网]
A. keep their best reporters at all costs
B. give more freedom to their reporters
C. be aware of their reporters' professional development
D. appreciate their reporters' working styles and attitudes
C
Pacing and Pausing
Sara tried to befriend her old friend Steve's new wife, but Betty never seemed to have
anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didn't hold up her end of the conversation, Betty
complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. The problem had to do with
expectations about pacing and pausing.
Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, there's no problem. But if
our habits are different, you may start to talk before I'm finished or fail to take your turn when I'm
finished. That's what was happening with Betty and Sara.
It may not be coincidental that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is
British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is American. Betty often felt interrupted
by Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the talking when
she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speaker s from Latin
America or Israel.
The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like pacing and
pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and
abilities. These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping (思维定式).
And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences. For example, a woman from
the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When
the Personnel Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break
in--and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in
Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year,
she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up.
That's why slight differences in conversational style--tiny little things like microseconds of
pause-can have a great effect on one's life. The result in this case was a judgment of psychological
problems---even in the mind of the woman herself, who really wondered what was wrong with
her and registered for assertiveness training.
64. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her?
A. Betty was talkative.
B. Betty was an interrupter.
C. Betty did not take her turn.
D. Betty paid no attention to Sara.
65. According to the passage, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns?
A. Americans. B. Israelis. C. The British. D. The Finns.
66. We can learn from the passage that __
A. communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pacing
B. women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the US
C. one's inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimes
D. one should receive training to build up one's confidence
67. The underlined word "assertiveness" in the last paragraph probably means __
A. being willing to speak one's mind
B. being able to increase one's power
C. being ready to make one's own judgment
D. being quick to express one's ideas confidently
D
The Cost of Higher Education
Individuals (个人) should pay for their higher education.
A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual. Graduates earn more
than non-graduates. Meanwhile, social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree.
However, only some people have it. So the individual, not the taxpayers, should pay for it. There
are pressing calls on the resources (资源) of the government. Using taxpayers' money to help a
small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them.
Full government funding (资助) is not very good for universities. Adam Smith worked in a
Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees. He knew and looked down upon 18th-
century Oxford, where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the
government. Guaranteed salaries, Smith argued, were the enemy of hard work; and when the
academics were lazy and incompetent, the students were similarly lazy.
If students have to pay for their education, they not only work harder, but also demand more
from their teachers. And their teachers have to keep them satisfied. If that means taking teaching
seriously, and giving less time to their own res earch interests, that is surely something to
celebrate.
Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy
(经济). Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but so do all the businesses that
invest (投资) and create jobs. If you believe that the government should pay for higher education
because graduates are economically productive, you should also believe that the government
should pay part of business costs. Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital
from the government to invest. Therefore, it is the individual, not the government, who should
pay for their university education.
68. The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refers to
A. taxpayers B. pressing calls
C. college graduates D. government resources
69. The author thinks that with full government funding
A. teachers are less satisfied
B. students are more demanding
C. students will become more competent
D. teachers will spend less time on teaching
70. The author mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order to
A. argue against free university education
B. call on them to finance students' studies
C. encourage graduates to go into business
D. show their contribution to higher education

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为
多余选项。
Muzak
The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you
hear? 71 It's similar to the music you listen to, but it's not exactly the same. That's because this
music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don't
even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.
Quiet background music used to be called "elevator (电梯) music" because we often heard it
in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name "Muzak".
About one-third of the people in America listen to "Muzak" everyday. The music plays for 15
minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven
in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. 72
If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs.
Some musicians or songwriters don't want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy
when their songs are chosen. Why? 73
Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely
when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak doeswhat it is designed to do.
Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in
the background. 74 Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.
75
. They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy
hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another,
Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear
Muzak!
A. Some people don't like Muzak.
B. The music gives them extra energy.
C. Music is playing in the background.
D. Factory workers produce 13 percent more.
E. Muzak tends to help people understand music better.
F. They get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used.
G. Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world.

Beidaihe, and some hotel information. In the afternoon, I went to the train station and managed to
buy two tickets for my grandparents although there was a long queue. After dinner, I packed into
the suitcase the things my grandparents need, such as clothes, glasses, an umbrella, and a map.
The next morning, I went to the station to see them off. Waving goodbye to them on the platform,
I felt happy for them and wished them a safe journey.

their best to find a way out. Life can be hard. But if we have the courage and determination, we
will finally get the sunshine we want as the tree in the picture does.
第二部分：知识运用(共两节，45 分)
第一节单项填空(共15 小题；每小题l 分，共15 分)
从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，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。
2010 年高考北京卷的单项填空15 个小题涉及了时态语态（22、24、26、28）、虚拟语气
（34）、情态动词（23）、非谓语动词（21、25）、名词性从句（31、32、33）、定语从句（27）、状语从
句（30）、介词（29）、冠词（35）。
今年单选最大的特点是考点集中：动词相关考点八道题目；从句相关考点五道题目，只
有两道细节考点。具体如下：
1、时态考点以四道题目（其中一道和被动语态相结合）位居榜首，这一点承习了去年的
局面。
2、非谓语动词的两道题目都是对基本点的考查，分量显得略轻。
3、情态动词的考查设定在特定的情境中，没有任何悬念。
4、虚拟语气重出江湖。以对话体给出，混合时间的虚拟句，有一定难度，考查学生对非真
实条件句的整体把握。
5、名词性从句独放异彩，出题数量之多，覆盖面之广堪称往年之最。宾语从句、表语从句、
主语从句各出一道。
6、定语从句只有一道，但考查的不是基本点。
7、唯一的一道状语从句也不是对常见从属连词的考查。
8、从2006 年开始，介词考点每年都会光顾北京卷，今年考的是常见介词的基本点。
21. at my classmates' faces, I read the same excitement in their eyes.
A. Looking B. Look C. To look D. Looked
21. 答案：A
考点：本题考查非谓语动词。
解析：look 与句子主语I 为主动关系，因此用looking.
22. In the spoken English of some areas in the US, the "r" sounds at the end of the words .
A. are dropped B. drop
C. are being dropped D. have dropped
22. 答案：A
考点：时态和语态
解析：the "r" sounds 应该使用被动。
23. ---Good morning. I've got an appointment with Miss Smith in the Personnel Department.
--Ah, good morning. You be Mrs. Peters.
A. might B. must C. would D. can
23.答案：B
考点:本题考查情态动词在语境中的运用。
解析：第一个说话人说和史密斯小姐有约，那下面的人就回应说，"那您一定就是Mrs. Peters
了"因此排除A,C.D
24. --I'm not finished with my dinner yet.
--But our friends for us.
A. will wait B. wait C. have waited D. are waiting
24. 答案：D
考点:本题也是在语境中考查学生对时态的灵活运用。
解析：第一个说话人说"我还没吃完饭呢"，而下面的人则说"但是我们的朋友们都在等我们
了"根据第一个人还没进行完吃饭的动作，而第二个人又开始催促，我们得知朋友们此时正
在等他们。所以用进行时are waiting 更符合句意。
25. I'm calling to enquire about the position in yesterday's China Daily.
A. advertised B. to be advertised
C. advertising D. having advertised
25. 答案：A
考点:本题考查非谓语动词。
句意：我打电话来咨询下昨天中国日报上刊登职位的信息。
解析：the position 肯定是被advertise，此处的分词可以理解为一个定语从句which was
advertised
26. --I'm sorry, but I don't quite follow you. Did you say you wanted to return on September 20?
--Sorry, I myself clear. We want to return on October 20.
A. hadn't made B. wouldn't make
C. don't make D. haven't made
26. 答案：D
考点: 时态
解析：上文说没听清是几号回来。而下文则说很抱歉我没说清楚。根据句意我们只能选didn't
make 或者haven't made.那落在选项中我们只能选择D。A. hadn't made 过去完成时表过去的
过去，不符合题意。B. wouldn't make 过去将来时时态不正确。C 一般现在时不正确。
27. Children who are not active or diet is high in fat will gain weight quickly.
A. what B. whose C. which D. that
27. 答案：B
考点: 本题考查定语从句关系副词的选择。
解析：不爱运动或者饮食热量偏高的孩子们会很快发胖。较简单。本定语从句不缺成分，为主
系表结构，因此只能在考虑填关系副词。A 中的What 不能引导定语从句。选B. whose 谁的，
符合题意。
28. It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate what they __ for me.
A. had done B. did C. would do D. were doing
28. 答案：A
考点:本题考查过去完成时和一般过去时的区别。
解析：整个句子时态用的是一般过去时，我能够表示感谢就已经是过去，而他们对我的帮助
则是过去的过去。因此选A。
29. Would you mind not picking the flowers in the garden? They are everyone's enjoyment.
A. in B. at C. for D. to
29. 答案：C
考点:本题考查enjoyment 的习惯用语。
解析：for enjoyment 为了寻求乐趣。例如：We work in the garden for enjoyment.我们为寻求乐
趣而在园子里劳作。
30. they decide which college to go to, students should research the admission procedures.
A. As B. While C. Until D. Once
30. 答案：D
考点:本题考查连词。
解析：此题重在句意的判断。"一旦学生们决定了去哪所大学读书，他们就得研究下办理入学
的手续。"A. As 当；因为...B. while 做连词强调一件事发生时另外一个动作正在进行；C. Until
直到...D. Once 一旦。因此选D
31. I want to be liked and loved for I am inside.
A. who B. where C. what D. how
31. 答案：C
考点:
解析：我想别人喜欢我是因为我的内在。也就是我inside 的品质。只有what 可以指代是什么。
很多同学误选A，错误的用中文语言习惯去做英文题。
32. Part of the reason Charles Dickens loved his own novel, David Copperfield, was __ it was
rather closely modeled on his own life.
A. what B. that C. why D. whether
32. 答案：B
考点:本题考查表语从句。
解析：从句不缺成分，因此用that 来引导。句意：狄更斯喜欢他自己的小说大卫科波菲尔的部
分原因是小说创作非常贴近他本人的真实生活。
33. some people regard as a drawback is seen as a plus by many others.
A. Whether B. What C. That D. How
33. 答案：B
考点: 本题考查主语从句。
句意：一些人眼中的缺点是别人眼中的优点。
解析：从句中缺宾语，只能用B. what 来引导. C.中的That 引导主语从句不做成分。
34. --The weather has been very hot and dry.
--Yes. If it had rained even a drop, things would be much better now! And my vegetables .
A. wouldn't die B. didn't die
C. hadn't died D. wouldn't have died
34. 答案：D
考点:本题考查虚拟语气中队过去的虚拟。
解析：第二个说话人的If 条件句是我们选择正确答案的关键。要是当时下雨了，现在的情况
就好的多了！我的蔬菜也就不会死了。过去没有下雨，所以我的蔬菜干死了也是发生在过去。
而将句子还原则为If it had rained even a drop, my vegetables wouldn't have died.
If+ had done,主句为couldn’t/ shouldn't/ wouldn't have done.
35. First impressions are the most lasting. After all, you never get __ second chance to make __
first impression.
A. a; the B. the; the C. a; a D. the; a
35. 答案：A
考点: 冠词
解析：很多同学错在第二个空to make a first impression 上了。在做题的时候不够细心，因为此
题的句意是：第一印象是最持久的。总之，你永远不可能有第二个机会去再给别人留一次第
一印象。本题强调的重点是第二个机会a second chance;第二次留一个第一印象，make a first
impression. first 为干扰因素。
若句意改变为：你没有机会去改变你的第一印象You never get a second chance to change
the first impression。此处再填the 就合情合理了。
我们的单选题，主要考察语法方面。
第二节完形填空(共20 小题；每小题l.5 分，共30 分)
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在
答题卡上将该项涂黑。
36.B 考察连词及句子理解。前面unpleasant voice 和 direct way of speaking 是消极意向,后面
encouraging 和 inspiring 是积极意向,因此需填转折连词,四个选项中A 表并列,C 表结果，D
表原因，只有B 选项yet 表转折。
37.A 考察名词及篇章理解。第二段第二句话“她想知道我认为我们该怎样处理事情”直接
提示了这个空应该选观点opinion 这个词. 第二段倒数第四句话中也出现了这个词从而验证
了其正确性。B. impression 印象、C. information 信息、D. intention 意图均不符合题意。
38.C 考察动词及篇章理解。根据文章主线选择“处理”事情。考纲要求考生掌握handle 的两
种意思，名词是“柄、把”，动词是“处理”，这里考察后者。A, 做、创造 B 保持 D 改变 均
不符题意。
39.D 考察代词及句子理解。开始我不知如何回答是因为我对舞台设计“一无所知”。 know
nothing about sth 对某事一无所知。
40.A 考察名词及篇章理解。解题关键词是本句的 ”respond 回答、响应”, 线索是第二段第
一句中的 “ask 提问”及第四句中的“answer 回答”， 因此这里填 “question 问题”这个
词。BD 选项是评论，C 是解释，不符题意。
41.D 考察动词及篇章理解。本句的them 指代opinions 。form opinion 形成观点 。hold opinion
持有某种观点，form 是个变化的状态，hold 是个持续的状态，根据文意推断作者开始并没有
观点，由于她相信我有观点所以我形成了观点，强调形成这个过程，另外Begin to 后接有变
化感的词，故选form 不选hold. B. follow 遵照,C .evaluate 评估与题意差别较大。
42.C 考察形容词及句子理解。解题线索在后半句 “so I began to show up to paint more and
more ” 作者做的事情变多是Mrs. Neidl 信任的结果，说明我是个可信赖（reliable）的人,C 选
项符合题意。其他三个选项happy 高兴的 lively 活泼的和 punctual 准时的都不能表达出这
种合理的因果关系。另外迷惑性较大的lively 通常用来形容物。
43. B 考察名词及句子理解。引号里是一句鼓励性质的话，而且前面“that year”也是线索，说
明这话是她的motto 座右铭。迷惑性较大的C 选项saying 是谚语的意思，往往是人们长期形
成的对生活及经验的总结，强调群体性及时间性，故不合适，message 信息，suggestion 建议，
不合题意。
44.D 考察副词及篇章理解。本题难度较大，解题关键词是介词“over”，表覆盖。选择later 可
以理解为“如果没有画好，稍后可以再画一次覆盖在之前的画上。” more 更多， Instead 代
替， 不合题意。迷惑性最大的是again.表示“再一次、又一次”但是放在这里与over 意思重
复，paint over it later 相当于 paint it again, 故不选A。
45.D 考察名词及篇章理解。take risks 固定搭配，冒险。通读全文发现作者是开始很不自信，
第四段开头也提示了作者“shy” ,“quiet”,因此动笔画画对他来说是个冒险，是自我突破的过
程，文章最后一段也提到了take chances 冒险，因此选D。take steps 是采取措施、步骤的意思，
与文章主题不搭，control 和 charge 都有控制的意思，不合题意。
46.A 考察动词及句子理解。Improve upon 改进。线索是本段开头的座右铭“试试吧，我们永
远可以重画一次。”因此不存在失败，只存在改进。Act upon 按照、对…起作用，look upon 看
待、考虑，reflect upon 考虑、回顾，均不符题意。
47.C 考察副词及篇章理解。本段主要描写了作者从不敢做到敢做的过程，根据前文提示作者
曾很不自信，后来在Mrs. Neidl 的鼓励下自信地拿起了画笔，因此选confidently. A easily 容易
的。作者超越自我的过程并不容易。B carefully 小心地。创作并不是个小心翼翼的过程。D
Proudly 骄傲地。文章中没有任何体现。
48.B 考察动词。Be recognized as“被公认为、被承认”。 Introduce 介绍、引入，be identified as“
被确定是”，有验证身份的意思，be considered as “被认为、被当作”。其中 be recognize as 有
“被大家承认、被普遍接受”的意思，表意更准确。
49.C 考察动词。解题关键词是“want ”。作者意识到自己想要的是什么，所以用realized. 迷惑
项是decided 决定。可以说决定要什么，但不可以说决定想什么，因为想法是不可控制的。
Confirm 证实 acknowledge 承认，与题意差别较大。
50.A 考察介词。Being with sb 与某人在一起。这里不能选of 是因为全文第一句话，Mrs. Neidl
是“ one of the directors”，所以不能说是她的团队。Below 和 by 搭配错误。
51.B 考察动词。发现了一项爱好和一个未知的世界，选discovered. 迷惑项是developed , 这个
词可以与interest 连用表示形成了某种爱好，但是不可以与world 连用表示“形成一个未知
世界，”故排除。Take interest 取利，foster 培养，均不合适。
52.B 考察动词及篇章理解。“她教会我不要去在乎别人认为我该怎么做”，care 在乎，符合
文意。Accept 接受，judge 判断 ，wonder 怀疑 均不合文意。
53.D 考察形容词及句意理解。Be afraid 害怕。前面说Take chance 冒险，后面理所当然说不要
怕（失败），而且前文反复出现了afraid 这个词，是全篇的关键词。Bored 无聊的，lazy 懒惰的，
sad 伤心的，在文中均无体现。
54.A 考察名词及篇章理解。Trust 信任。通读全文会发现文中多次提到Mrs. Neidl 对作者的信
任，并在第三段明确使用了trust 这个词，因此推断出答案。Patience 耐心，curiosity 好奇心，
interest 兴趣，文中均无体现。
55.C 考察形容词及篇章理解。“她对我的信任激励我完成以前认为不可能的事情”，
“never imagined possible” 等于 “imagined impossible.” 认为不可能的，贴合文意。
Accessible 容易取得的 enjoyable 有趣的 favorable 有利的赞同的 均不合文意。
第三部分：阅读理解(共两节，40 分)
第一节(共15 小题；每小题2 分，共30 分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并
在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
文章体裁和主要内容介绍
夹叙夹议：通过记叙作者与一只被遗弃的小狗的故事，说明不应该轻易对他人的行为下
定论。（A 篇）
应用文：一位主编的公开信，劝说同行要注重手下记者的职业发展，激发他们的潜能。
（B 篇）
说明文：介绍不同文化背景的人有不同的谈话节奏，及其带来的问题。（C 篇）
议论文：支持高等教育应该由受教育人自付费用。（D 篇）
说明文：介绍缪扎克音乐(一种通过线路向机场、商场、餐馆等播放的背景录音音乐)。（E
篇）
与往年比较的变化
1．每一篇文章都加上了标题：一定程度上降低了考试难度，帮助学生把握文章的中心意
思。
2．应用文"消失"：今年阅读理解形式上保留了应用文，因为B 篇体裁仍为书信，实则为
说理性质，增加了考题的难度。
答案解析及技巧运用
A 篇
阅读技巧：夹叙夹议，叙为议服务，议为叙指导。把握了这句话就把握了阅读此类文章的
真谛。叙述不分重点关注人物，情节的变化；议论一定看清楚作者想表明的道理。
答题技巧：本篇题目由3 个细节题和一道文章结构题组成，难度都不大。细节题要求学
生把握文章中的原文，做合理推断和转述。比如57 题，将unsettled 理解成worried。文章结构
题基本属于送分题，要求学生作答，此篇记叙文按照时间顺序发展。
56.B
情绪推断，较难题。此推断题的难点在于，原文没有直接的形容词表述，要求学生通过具
体的描述总结。原文第2 段She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her.
There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to
her at her previous owner's.划线句子表明作者同情被遗弃的小狗，希望帮助它高兴起来。
57.A
细节题，较难题。要做对此题主要要排除C 项的干扰，原文第2 段She hardly ate anything
and had such an air of sadness about her. hardly ate anything 的表述与ate little 是不一样的。前
者是几乎什么都不吃，后者是吃得少，此错误选项属于"改变否定/肯定的程度"。
58.D
原因推断题，简单题，通过原文第4 段的描写可得正确答案。
59.A
问文章的行文结构，简单题，此篇记叙文按照时间顺序发展。
B 篇
阅读技巧：第一段出现重要信息：特殊标点"破折号"和隐性转折词in fact，因此后面信息
极其重要：写信给一个编辑说他的reporter 很棒，但是要离开了；第二段要把握两个中文注释，
此reporter 给作者简历并充满热情地向其描述了自身特质;第三段平淡无奇，机械寻找重要信
息出处—in fact，故得知该reporter 干一行爱一行，精神可嘉;接着第四段一个问句，基本预示
情节的转折，一眼即得知下面要详细阐述该reporter 要离开的原因;继续往下，重要信息处稍
微留意，即转折词but，因果词so,最后段的最高级best 句，以及有特殊标点出现的最后一句。
通过这几处内容的梳理，文意会变得清晰很多-年轻记者需要主编充分发挥他们的潜能，在竞
争与挑战中寻求职业发展。
答题技巧：此篇的4 个题目包括3 个推断题，其中包括对人物态度、作者身份、写作目的
的推断。人物态度要求学生具备将具体描述…wants to be coached to new heights 等转换成形
容词表述的能力；作者身份推断题要求学生学会通过人称代词our 判断；写作目的要求学生
对全文的把握能力。
60.C
判断推理题，难题。原文He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights..要通
过划线处的具体描述总结出ambitious 这个词：有抱负的。
61.D
细节题，较难题。困难之处在于不好定位原文，故用排除法。从选项中找关键词，逐个排
查，得出正确选项D.
62.A
推断作者身份，较难题。此类型题目把握方法很简单：文章对象（主编）+人称(our)，不难
得出正确答案作者也是主编。
63.C
考查文章写作目的，较难题。抓住文章结尾是王道：Our best hope Our best hope in
keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists---everyone--is to work harder to
make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential 再结合前面60 题的答案，
不难选出正确答案。
C 篇
阅读技巧：开篇复杂的人物关系，以及第三段几个国家之间的复杂对比是学生阅读的最
大困难。攻略：1.动笔：中国学生对英语名字太不敏感，请划出来。2.再难读说明文的目标不变：
找出文章说明对象是什么。
答题技巧：包括3 个细节题和一个词义猜测题，其中65 题细节比较排序题是亮点，要求
学生从复杂的表述中理清顺序，区别出哪国人的说话节奏最快。
64.C
细节题，难题。难在弄不清谁是S 谁是B，耐心读，动笔划，从第一段得出正确答案并不难：
Sara felt Betty didn't hold up her end of the conversation
65.B
细节排序题，难题。还是耐心读，动笔划。S 代表美国人，B 代表英国人（加起来？），S 比
B 期待谈话间隙时间更短，又在以色列人(Israelis)说话时插不上嘴，故答案选说话嗒嗒嗒嗒
的以色列人。
66.C
变态细节题，较难题。A 不符原文，B 无中生有，D 无中生有，C 关键要理解culturally
determined，由文化决定或者受文化影响。
67.A
词义猜测题，较难。难点在于A 选项的干扰作用。原文说那位MM 的inability to speak up
注意别人认为她没能力，不是说她不愿意。所以D 比A 好，此处用反义对比方法。
D 篇
阅读技巧：此篇议论文难度较低。把握议论文的阅读两步：1.作者想说服你什么？2.分了
几个并列的点来说服你？
答题技巧：此篇包括2 个推断题和1 个细节题。其中68 题要求学生找出them 的所指，对
学生分析代词的所指提出了更高的要求，此项技能在完型和阅读中都有体现；70 题属于基于
议论文结构的设问，问最后一段的例子在文章中的作用，对议论文的结构和写作模式有了解
的同学都可以轻松应答。
68.B
推断代词所指，较难题。There are pressing calls on the resources (资源) of the government.
Using taxpayers' money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not
one of them. ww 往前看，发现前句就一个复数名词，就它了。
69.D
细节题，简单题。根据题干关键词"full government funding"定位原文，根据"文题顺序一
致"原则从上一题them 后面去找，会找到Full government funding (资助) is not very good for
universities….and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the students were similarly
lazy. "lazy"转换成"spendless time"不难得出正确选项。
70.A
结构推断题，简单题。题目问提到business 有什么目的，就等于问议论文中的论据有什么
用，地球人都知道：支持论点。马上从本段段首找论点：Many people believe that higher
education should be free…从全文的哪都可以看出作者就是要反对free higher education.
E 篇
阅读技巧：1.找说明对象(Muzak)2.找文章讲了说明对象的那些方面。
答题技巧：第一年出题果然不难，7 选5 只有74 题稍难，其余4 空都可以根据相邻句子
间的指代关系、因果关系、并列关系，较容易地选出正确答案。
71.C
王道：看前后邻句。找不到再扩大范围找。
此题，前句没看头，看后句：It's similar to the music you listen to…捉住主语it 及它对应的
music，从7 个句子中选出唯一用music 开头的C 句。
72.B
同样用指代的原则。前句when people are more tired.根据指代原则，确定答案在B 和F
里面：B. The music gives them extra energy. F. They get as much as $4 million a year if their
songs are used. F 明显不符合文章发展，提钱，俗！选B
73.F
利用因果关系
前句Why？其他人高兴什么？钱啊！从剩下的A,D,E,F 里找原因，只能找出"钱"来。
74.D
这是唯一单纯看一句话找不出答案的题，也是5 题中最难的题。
利用并列关系。前一句描述tired office workers，后一句描述supermarket shoppers，后句
出现Supermarketshoppersbuy38percentmoregroceries. 由此推断D 为正确答案。
Factoryworkersproduce13percentmore.主语和百分数都是一一对应关系。
75.A
利用并列原则，后面有But other people enjoy hearing…，故选择A. Some people don't like
Muzak.这是送分题。
11 年阅读理解备考注意
1、保证一定的阅读量，每天2-4 篇。
2、有精读有泛读，不要篇篇都仔细看。
3、精读应以读近几年各地高考试题，特别是北京试题为主，因为它们才代表了高考命题
的真髓。
4、精读时应适当练习句子成分分析，长句难句增加，必然对学生分析句子结构的基本功
要求越来越高。
5、精读时还要注意词义词性的辨别，后置定语，连接词语以及由动词形式变化反映的句
意的变化。
6、考前练限时阅读，35 分钟完成5 篇总词数约2400 的各类文章。
7、注意总结六类问题的答题规律（主旨大意题，具体细节题，推断词义句义题，判断推理
题，文章结构题和观点态度题）。
8、除掌握高考词汇表上的单词外，还应掌握考纲要求的构词法知识（比如今年高考中对
于A 篇unsettled 一词、C 篇a turn-taking game 等词语的理解）。
第四部分：书面表达(共两节，35 分)
第一节情景作文(20 分)
基本分析：
1. 文体：周记。
2. 人称：I
3. 时态：一般过去时
4. 事件大意：我为爷爷奶奶准备出行＋我送行
5. 图片要素：
图一：查询信息（train ticket, weather, hotel）
图二：买票（buy ticket）
图三：准备行装（package）
图四：送行（see-off）
3. 图片关联：
图一、二、三都是并列关系，主题是旅游前的准备阶段，三幅图没有轻重之分，所占篇幅比例
相当。图四是最后的送别阶段，文章末尾要有点睛之笔，可以是送别感受，对爷爷奶奶的祝福，
也可以是自己的成长和收获。
4. 文章立意：今年的作文和90 后的学生特点相联系，积极引导高中学生要培养独立性，增加
实践能力，并要照顾体谅长辈。所以文章末尾的立意也可以往这方面考虑。
5. 参与范文（官方）：
Last weekend, I helped my grandparents their trip to Beidaihe. On Saturday morning,
together with my grandparents, I searched the Internet for the train schedule, the weather in
Beidaihe, and some hotel information. In the afternoon, I went to the train station and managed to
buy two tickets for my grandparents although there was a long queue. After dinner, I packed into
the suitcase the things my grandparents need, such as clothes, glasses, an umbrella, and a map.
The next morning, I went to the station to see them off. Waving goodbye to them on the platform,
I felt happy for them and wished them a safe journey.
第二节开放作文(15 分)
基本分析：
1. 三分之一描写要点：阳光，楼(很靠近)，弯曲的树。（the sun, two apartments/ flats closely-
located, the winding/ twisted tree）
2. 三分之二议论着眼立意：
—— 1.人生角度：在成长的道路上（树的成长），有曲折，有困难，（建筑的阻挡，弯曲）但是只
要向着光明和希望（太阳）去努力拼搏，坚持不懈，还是能够冲破桎梏取得成功（树在楼的夹
缝中长高了，超出建筑）。
—— 2.和谐角度： 城市的发展（建筑）和环境的可持续发展（树的成长）要协调，要平衡，才
能欣然共存（在阳光下）
3. 立意与现实生活关系：1. 引导90 后要具有积极的生活态度，生活非一帆风顺的。2. 扣住低
碳生活的环保热点，城市和环境的和谐发展也是低碳生活的必需。
4. 参考范文(官方)：
In the picture, between two closely-located buildings grows a big tree. Unlike most trees, this one
bends in the middle, struggling all the way up to get more sunshine. The picture reminds me of
those who succeed in unfavorable condition. Faced with difficulties, they never give up but try
their best to find a way out. Life can be hard. But if we have the courage and determination, we
will finally get the sunshine we want as the tree in the picture does。
作文分析：
今年的情景作文延续了往年四格漫画的形式，对于考生来说应该是得心应手的——只要把
握好文体（周记）、人称（第一人称单数）、时态（一般过去时），并突出时间主线进行有条理的
叙述，就把握住了文章的大方向。如果说本题有难点，难点就在于这四幅图几乎没有转折、高
潮，容易平铺直叙，使得原本可以在写作部分展现特长的同学泯然众人。在这种情况下，我的
建议是：首先，注意文章的篇章结构分配，并保证每幅图内得分点不丢失：前三幅图是并列结
构，并且第一、三幅图都给出了较明显的信息点，那么在写作中，就应该保证用于前三幅图的
笔墨要相对均衡，图中给出的信息一定要出现在文章中，不能遗漏。其次，在描述第四幅图时，
要做适当的发挥和升华：考生即可以表达送别时的不舍与祝福，也可以表达独立完成一件事
之后的喜悦之情。总之，要适当发挥想象使文章有亮点，赢得考官赞赏。
与09 年的开放作文（一外国人用两只叉子做筷子吃中国面食）相比，10 年的开放作文立意较
为明确，不易出现理解偏差、跑题等严重错误。那么对于想要在作文部分取得优势的同学来
说，对策建议与情景作文相似：楼、树、阳光——三个信息点缺一不可，都应出现在作文中。对
画面进行描述时要精准恰当，之后适当升华，点明寓意。如果能像范文那样，在简短的篇幅中
适当联系“我们”自己的生活，就是非常好的作文了。
2010 北京高考之所以备受关注，主要是因为它是新课改，新教材使用后第一年高考，无论是
题型还是内容难易，都预示着高考改革方向。正如之前，我们对于2010 高考考试说明的解析
中所说的，今年的高考英语卷难度和去年差异不大，但在某些题型的设计上，体现了新课改
的趋势和要求。
