(2015·甘肃省部分普通高中高三2月联考)
Energy independence.It has a nice ring to it.Doesn’t it? If you think so，you’re not alone，because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades，and never more so than in the past few years，when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession.
“Energy independence” and its rhetorical(修辞的) companion “energy security” are，however，slippery concepts that are rarely through，though.What is it that we want independence from，exactly?
Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil.But there are reasons that we buy all that oil from elsewhere.
The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running.Yes，there is a trickle(涓涓细流)of biofuel(生物燃料)available，and more may become available，but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction.
Second，Americans have basically decided that they don’t really want to produce all their own oil.They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad.Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection.To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports?
Third，there are benefits to trade.It allows for economic efficiency，and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do，we benefit.And although you don’t read about this much，the United States is also a large exporter of oil products，selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries.
There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and，in fact，relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy.When that flow is interrupted，we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices，at the same time，we derive massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world.
1．What does the author think of biofuels?
A．They keep America’s economy running healthily.
B．They prove to be a good alternative to petroleum.
C．They do not provide a sustainable energy supply.
D．They cause serious damage to the environment.
2．Why does America rely heavily on oil imports?
A．It wants to expand its storage of crude oil.
B．Its own oil reserves are quickly running out.
C．It wants to keep its own environment intact.
D．Its own oil production falls short of demand.
3．What does the author say about oil trade?
A．It proves profitable to both sides.
B．It improves economic efficiency.
C．It makes for economic prosperity.
D．It saves the cost of oil exploration.
B
What does it take to be a good neighbour？Over the years I have had all kinds of neighbours，ones that were enjoyable and others that were to be avoided at all costs.
One of the most important things in being a good neighbour is to respect the personal privacy(隐私)．When someone new moves into the neighbourhood，you’d better wait and see when and how to go to pay a visit.If you go rushing over as soon as they move in，they may think you are going to be one of those neighbours that come over at all times of the day，not respecting their privacy.
It is a good idea always to be friendly to everyone in the neighbourhood.This
can not only make you get along well with them，but will also be a form of protection for your family and home.If you wave as they drive by or offer a friendly hello while they are out in their yard，it shows that you like them and try to be friendly.If you are cordial(热诚的) to them，they are much more likely to watch out for any wrong doings going on around your home while you are out and let you know if anything happens.
Another way of being a good neighbour is to be helpful in times of need.If you see that they are in need of a helping hand doing something or in times of difficulty，it is good to offer your help.Even though you haven’t talked a lot to the people down the street，they are willing to take the time to help you because you have ever helped them when they were in need.
In conclusion，if you respect their personal privacy，treat them cordially and be helpful when you see they are in need，you will be a great neighbour and anyone would be happy to have you next door!
4．What should we do when a new neighbour moves in?
A．Go to offer some advice.
B．Go to say hello immediately.
C．Wave politely through the window.
D．Wait and see when and how to pay a visit.
5．If we are always friendly to neighbours，we can ________.
A．have our own privacy
B．know more about their life
C．make close friends with them
D．keep our family members safe
6．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4?
A．A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B．Everybody sometimes gets into trouble.
C．The neighbours should help each other.
D．People needn’t talk a lot to their neighbou rs.
7．As a good neighbour，a person should always be ________.
A．brave，honest and kind
B．helpful，strong and strict
C．honest，active and friendly
D．respectful，friendly and helpful

高考英语二轮复习策略 英语卷无论是考试形式、试题结构，坚持稳定为主，注重基础考查，重点考查考生“在特定语境中语言运用能力”，即运用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析问题和解决问题的能力。始终不变的重点知识，考生应该将其列为复习内容，同时抓牢基础知识，不要一味做偏、难、怪题。现提供以下三大点备考建议供参考： 一、回归基础，突出对主干知识的复习 高考英语改革虽然从强调知识考查向注重综合语言运用能力转变，但是还应认识到能力要有扎实的基础作为依托。尤其是到最后冲刺阶段更要重视基础知识的复习。一模后，一些考生普遍都有这样的感觉：很多题目“一看就会，一做就错”。造成这种现象的根本原因在于对基础知识的掌握不牢固。只有扎扎实实地从基础做起，才能“一看就会，一做就对”。英语基础知识包括词汇、语法、句型等。词汇复习应做到从不间断、反复巩固。除了记忆和理解之外，尤其要注意常用词汇的使用和辨析，以及一词多义的掌握。语法复习要理清基本概念，着重复习主干知识。比如，动词的时态、语态、语气，非谓语动词、情态动词等都是高考常涉及的知识点。但切记不要在钻研语法的难点上花过多时间，
英语语法不是数学公式，在不同的语境中用法就不同。 二、查漏补缺，强化专题训练 一模结束后，复习的重点要放在查漏补缺上。将做过的试卷整理后，建立错题档案，弥补知识漏洞，进行强化记忆和训练。比如，在建立错题档案时发现在非谓语动词、从句方面出错率比较高，就应该重点复习这方面的知识。不要注重记多少题，重要的是记住老师在课堂上对这些题的分析过程。抄录资料或刊物上的讲解也是值得推荐的方法。到考试前再回顾、反思、比较、消化，以期达到遇到同类试题不再出错的目的。复习中要加强题型专项训练，在训练中提高解题能力和解题速度；尤其要重视听力训练，所选听力材料不宜过难，语速要适中。复习中应适当加强对重点内容的强化训练和题后分析，提高“考点识别、寻找已知条件、排错求证”的思维能力。训练快速阅读的能力，提高带着问题快速搜索信息，根据上下文提示进行逻辑推断的能力。多读一些原汁原味的文章，通过广泛涉猎，培养英语语感，提高对词、句、篇的理解速度和准确度。专项训练要多、模拟测试要适当。 强调阅读语速是语言实际运用的主要特征之一，一般应保持在60wpm左右，按照“高中英语课程标准”要求，高中毕业时甚至应该达到70―80wpm.在平时训练中一定要注意 坚持阅读速度的要求。在真实语言环境中，所接触材料的篇

2012高考英语第二轮复习策略 2011年，全国很多地区进入了新课改，新课改高考英语究竟怎么考？试卷结构如何？同学们该如何备考才能达到最佳效果？这些都是学校、英语教师、学生和家长都比较关注的一个热点话题。 整体上看，2011年各地新课改高考英语试卷都严格按照考试大纲和各省考试说明的要求编制，试题有较高的区分度。 试卷保持了“稳中有变，变中求新”的基本命题思路，始终坚持了“突出语篇，强调应用，注重交际”这一命题原则。单项填空题着重考查在语境中的语法运用和对词义的正确理解，不拘泥于单纯的知识点，而加强了对知识点综合运用能力的考查；完形填空更加注重篇章结构能力的考查，加强对“预阅”能力的考查，要从前后句和前后段的综合理解、推断中才能作出选择；阅读理解直接从文章中找答案的题目逐渐少了，主观推测的题目逐渐变了，出现“推测作者意图”的题目；改错题逐步弱化语法，增强篇章综合分析能力；书面表达从几种日常写作题型格式逐渐注重实际运用。 除此之外，部分省市的试卷中采用了新题型或在原有的题型上做了一些新的调整，从命题上更加“注重基础、强调应用、突出语篇、注重交际”，试题越来越注意题目设置的巧妙、灵活性、通用性、应用性、社会性。越来越注意对学生能力的考查，渗透着新课改的思想。 变化篇：重基础→考点考查，稳中求进，尝试新题型。 通过认真分析2011年新课改后全国各省（市、区）的高考英语试题，新课改后各省（市、区）的高考英语试题有一些共性，也有一些差异。 基础知识：英语知识运用测试的内容基本为单项填空（语法和词汇知识）和完形填空。差异性比较大的是广东省和陕西省。广东省测试的方向为语言知识及运用，内容分为完形填空测试和语法填空测试两个板块。陕西省在英语知识运用方面测试的方向为语音知识（满分5分）、情景对话（满分5分）、单项填空（满分15分）和完形填空（满分30分）。 阅读理解：在阅读理解方面大部分地区测试的形式相同。安徽、福建、浙江等3个地区阅读篇数为5篇；宁夏、海南、吉林、黑龙江、山东、陕西、北京、江苏、天津、辽宁等10个地区阅读篇数为4篇；广东、湖南、上海等3地区阅读理解只有3篇。广东省在阅读方面增加了信息匹配试题，即阅读一篇应用文及相关信息，按照要求匹配信息。湖南省在写作中增加了任务型阅读和阅读表达。上海市把阅读分为四个板块来测试，包括完形填空、阅读理解、选择标题和读写阅读。

语篇阅读高分练(十) (建议用时：30分钟) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2015·河南商丘市高三一模) 2014 saw that the Ebola virus reappeared in Guinea and soon spread into neighbouring Liberia and Sierra Leone，killing over 7,800 people by the new year of 2015.It leads to viral hemorrhagic fever，which is characterized by high fever and internal bleeding etc. Ebola is named after the Ebola River，where it was first discovered in 1976.There are five different types of the Ebola virus，each named after where they first happened：Sudan，Ivory Coast，Reston，Bundibugyo，and Zaire.The deadliest of the five，Zaire，was responsible for the 2012 out-break，and is believed to be attacking Guinea. Ebola is naturally found in fruit bats，which pass on the virus to other animals by biting or sucking on their blood.Humans who are suffering from the Ebola infection might have touched the bodily fluids of the infected animals.Once infected，a human becomes a carrier of the deadly virus. Unfortunately，there are no disease-specific treatments for Ebola.Health-care workers only supply the infected people with physiological saline(生理盐水) to keep them in good condition.Ebola can kill 90% of those infected，especially in underdeveloped societies like those in Africa.Since there have been many cases of nurses catching the disease from patients，they are forced to wear strict protective clothes，and in some cases，not even allowed to get close to the infected.The fact that there is no cure for the Ebola virus is what makes the outbreak a challenging one to control. What’s worse，since we live in an interconnected world，where the situation in one country can affect us all，the influences of Ebola are huge：damaging trade relations，affecting foreign visitors，and weakening entire countries.It is feared
高考英语二轮复习策略 高三英语复习在如火如荼的进行着，同学们的复习效果可谓是冰火两重天，有的同学掌握了英语的学习规律，复习的十分轻松，有的同学因为不得法，整天向我抱怨英语难学，有的甚至因为英语的瘸腿而与名牌大学失之交臂，许多家长也对孩子的英语是忧心忡忡。小编的八个必方法供同学们参考。 一、多听老师的，少自作主张 虽然同学们之前经历过很多考试，但高考对于我们来讲还是有些陌生。就算有些学生在高一、高二已经做过高考题，对于自己的知识缺陷到底有哪些，高考的重点是什么也不一定有非常清晰的了解。而高三的英语第一轮复习主要就是从语法和词法两个方面帮助大家梳理知识，并对应试策略加以指导。教高三的教师大都有着非常丰富的高考经验，也都会制定详细的教学计划，因此我们在安排自己的复习内容时要尽量和老师同步，把当天复习的内容彻底搞清楚，并辅以相应的练习加以巩固。遇到不会的，应该第一时间请教老师，千万不要留到最后甚至弃置不管。 二、多用碎时间，少搞大突击 英语学科是非常适合利用零碎时间来学习的。五分钟的时间能干什么?也许别的学科可以安排的复习活动并不多，但是英语却有很多。比如我们可以背单词，可以做一篇速读，
可以朗读一篇文章，可以做若干个单项选择，可以听听力，可以翻看任何英语的杂志、报刊甚至小说等。总而言之，时间是海绵里的水，挤挤总是有的。当然，如果我们要复习一个比较重要的语法项目，或者做一套英语试题的时候，我们也需要相对完整的时间，但基于语言学习的灵活性，同学们要培养语言学习的意识。Learning is anytime, anywhere with anyone。(学习无处不在)有些学生在制定自己的复习计划时，把一个星期中的七天分别给了不同的科目，这样做是不太科学的。正确的做法是每天复习两至三科为宜，而英语虽然持续时间不需要很长，但每天都接触确实十分必要的。A little bit every day makes perfect(点滴铸就完美)。 三、多接触英语，少钻研语法 近几年的高考越来越重视同学们运用英语的能力，逐渐削弱了对于语法的考察。纵观一份高考英语试卷，单纯考察语法的题目几乎没有。善于观察的学生更会发现，即使是在语法聚集的单项选择题中，也是强调语境的理解。此外，还逐渐加大了词义、词语辨析的考察。完形填空的四个选项是没有语法的错误的，考察大家是否能够根据文章的意思，选择用法上最恰当的词。阅读理解更是考察大家对于篇章的理解。当然，语法并不是不重要，有很多重点的项目是需要同学们掌握的。只是提醒大家在复习的时候，要做到从语言的

2012年高考英语第二轮复习的技巧和策略 基础知识:英语知识运用测试的内容基本为单项填空(语法和词汇知识)和完形填空。差异性比较大的是广东省和陕西省。广东省测试的方向为语言知识及运用,内容分为完形填空测试和语法填空测试两个板块。陕西省在英语知识运用方面测试的方向为语音知识(满分5分)、情景对话(满分5分)、单项填空(满分15分)和完形填空(满分30分)。 阅读理解:在阅读理解方面大部分地区测试的形式相同。安徽、福建、浙江等3个地区阅读篇数为5篇;宁夏、海南、吉林、黑龙江、山东、陕西、北京、江苏、天津、辽宁等10个地区阅读篇数为4篇;广东、湖南、上海等3地区阅读理解只有3篇。广东省在阅读方面增加了信息匹配试题,即阅读一篇应用文及相关信息,按照要求匹配信息。湖南省在写作中增加了任务型阅读和阅读表达。上海市把阅读分为四个板块来测试,包括完形填空、阅读理解、选择标题和读写阅读。 书面表达:书面表达是新课标各地区都考查的一个方面,但是还是有一些差异。广东和北京是比较有特点的两个地区。广东考查的是基础写作和读写任务写作两部分,满分40分;北京考查的是情景作文和开放作文两部分,满分35分;其他几个地区考查的都是根据所给内容写一篇短文,满分25分(宁夏、海南、吉林、黑龙江、安徽、天津、辽宁、福建、湖南、江苏)或者30分(山东、陕西、浙江、上海)。 短文改错、单词拼写:短文改错和单词拼写已经逐渐被新的题型所替代。新课改省份只有陕西省既测试了单词拼写,又测试了短文改错;宁夏、海南、吉林、黑龙江、辽宁、浙江等6个地区考查了短文改错,测试的方式和以往的高考短文改错已经有所不同。广东、山东、安徽、天津、湖南、江苏、上海等7个地区测试的是读写任务、阅读表达、任务型读写、任务型阅读或者句子翻译等题型。上海测试了翻译句子。 从试题对学生英语能力的考查方向来说,新课改后各地区的英语试题重点在考查学生的听、读和写等三个方面的能力;考查学生运用英语知识来获取信息、处理信息和传达信息的能力、分析问题和解决问题的能力以及用英语进行思维和表达的能力。从试题的模块设置上来看,对听力的考查是个大趋势,新课改后只有陕西在高考试题中没有设置听力测试,其余15个地区都考查了英语听力。英语知识运用(语法、词汇、完形填空等)、阅读理解和写作是英语考查的三个主要方面,以后可能会继续考查下去。读写任务、阅读表达、任务型读写、任务型阅读或者句子翻译等类型的试题会逐渐普及开来。单词拼写、语音知识、情景对话、短文改错很可能会慢慢的退出高考英语试题的历史舞台,被新的题型所替代。 策略篇:重基础→提能力,构建“点?线?面”的立体复习网络 新课标体系下的新高考其考查目的有别于传统模式下的高考,最主要体现的是对同学们使用英语能力的考查,强调在具体语言环境下,听力﹑单词﹑语法、阅读、写作等方面的“实战应用”。因此同学们在复习时的策略应在“用”字上下工夫。即“以用为本”。强调在具体语言环境下,单词语法、阅读、写作等方面的“实战应用”。下面针对具体的部分我将分别给出建议,供大家参考。 1. 听力:分场景听。分成不同的场景,进行专项训练。这样可以有效地总结相关的单词和句型。加深对单词与短语在具体某一环境的理解,并熟练掌握相关话题的出题点。做到遇词不生,遇景不慌。加强对广播和英语电视新闻的主题和大意理解。强化态度题和观点题训练。除平时坚持听力训练外,早自习读书强调读出声也是很重要的一方面。在二轮复习中,同学们可以根据各个话题进行专题训练。 (2)单词:分文章记。新课标的词汇要求:7级要求学会使用2 400~2 500个单词和300~400个习惯用语或固定搭配。8级要求学会使用3 300个单词和400~500个习惯用语或固定搭配。如何记这些单词呢?玖久《专项突破英语》的主讲专家肖鹏老师建议,应该针对不同的场景和
