In Asia, female friends 7 hold hands and men casually（随便地）hug one another as they walk down the street. Americans, however, may feel 8 with such public behavior. In some Asian cultures, affectionately patting an 9 head is strictly taboo(禁忌）, 10 it can be acceptable behavior between adults and young children.How 11 should people stand to each other when they’re having a conversation? In areas of the Middle East and South America, people stand very close when 12 . European Americans like to have 13 distance between them, while some African Americans 14 even more space.

It has been announced that a comet (彗星) is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth.On 17th July, a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earth’s at mosphere with a massive explosion. About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed. Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. The wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned.Before the waves reach South America, the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the Earth are already dead, but the north won’t escape for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. The sun won’t be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later, no more than 10 million people remain alive.Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldn’t live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end?33.

There arecertainly important changes that need to be made at every level—statewide,nationwide, and even worldwide—that can help preserve the Earth. That doesn’tmean, though, that there’s nothing that can be done on an individual level.We spoke to eight of the country’s leadin g environmentalists and asked themthis question: Their individual answers varied, but the point they truly wanted to stress did not: One person can make a difference.The other common idea was that they had a difficult time limiting it to only one tip. Matt Petersen, president of Global Green USA, recommended that, in the long run, we rebuild our buildings so that they are green.Dr. Brent Blackwelder, president of Friends of the Earth, emphasizes the importance of the state and federal tax code on the energy choices we make, and feels this is a widely overlooked issue. One example cited is the “gas-guzzler（耗油量极大的汽车）tax, ” as it is often referred to. This loophole（漏洞）has encouraged automakers to focus their production and advertising efforts on the products that end up being the biggest gas-guzzlers and polluters.Equally the carbon footprint, measured in carbon dioxide units, calculates the impact human beings have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouses gases produced.Both our direct emissions（排放）of carbon dioxide, like the burning of fossil fuels and the indirect emissionsof carbon dioxide as a result of the manufacture and breakdown of everyday products are calculated into the carbon footprint measurement. Commonplace activities like eating red meat and drinking bottled water are slowly but surely contributing to the devastation of our environment.So take our experts’ tips into consideration. This Earth Day, give Mother Nature the day off. Take public transportation, turn out your lights, and try not to print every one of your e-mails. It’s the little things that really can make a difference.37. According to the passage, eight environmentalists _______.A. didn’t agree with each other at allB. had the same suggestionsC. all thought each person could play a part in environment protectionD. came from different countries38. Dr. Brent Blackwelder held the view that _______.A. we should build more green buildingsB. drivers using gas-guzzlers should pay higher taxC. fede ral government had paid much attention to the problem caused by gas-guzzlersD. gas-guzzlers produced less pollution than expected39. The underlined word “devastation” probably means _______.A. damageB. protectionC. educationD. change40. What is mainly discussed in this passage?A. Carbon footprint.B. Gas-guzzler tax.C. Celebration of the Earth Day.D. Saving our earth.【拓展提升】(请根据以上的完形填空完成下题）选择合适的词组并用其正确形式填空。

But she told me not to risk a good friendship with a boy with the title of boyfriend. It’s indeed a wise choice to stay friends with those of the opposite sex. In my opinion, even though some high school relationship might continue after graduation, the probability of them lasting much longer is so slim that there really is not a point to it.Firstly, you have to think about such a question—whether it is possible to hurt both of you, or even hurt both of your future husbands or wives. My second point is that you still can date if you hope marriage could possibly follow. Except this, ther e really is not any other reason for dating. Some students desire relationships for a chance to be romantic. While these are nice to have, there are many more important things at this point in our lives.The titles of boyfriend and girlfriend put too much stress on a relationship between high school students. Just staying as common friends may be the best choice for us. I strongly recommend we should deal with it in an appropriate way and follow our teachers’ advice if necessary.21. The author writes this passage probably for ________ to read.A. high school studentsB. school teachersC. parents and teachersD. married couples22. Between sexes, the relationship of being good friends might be ________ than that of being boy/girlfriends.A. weakerB. saferC. slimmerD. stronger23. How does the writer like the idea of dating among the students?A. Dating is a nice chance for students to be romantic.B. Studying is far more important than dating in school.C. In high school dating can surely lead to future marriage.D. Dating in high school is sure to hurt your future family.24. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph might refer to ________ .A. the title of boyfriend or girlfriend at schoolB. advice given by both teachers and parentsC. the pressure from school lessons and sportsD. the relationship between students of opposite sexes25. What is the main idea of the passage?A. How to properly deal with the relationships among high school students.B. Making more friends in high school is good.C. Thinking about marriage in high school is unusual.D. How to properly deal with the relationships between students and teachers.(B)［2011·无锡模拟］No budget for your vacation? Try home exchanges—swapping houses with strangers. Agree to use each other’s cars, and you can save dollars on car rentals (租赁费), too.Home exchanges are not new. At least one group, Intervac, has been facilitating such an arrangement since 1953. But trading online is gaining popularity these days, with several sites in operation, including HomeExchanges. Founded in 1992, with some 28, 000 listings, this company bills itself as the world’s largest home exchange club, reporting that membership has increased 30% this year.The annual fee is usually less than $100. Members can access thousands of listings for apartments, villas, suburban homes and farms around the world. Initial contact is made via e-mail, with subsequent communication usually by phone. Before a match is made, potential swappers tend to discuss a lot.However, the concept may sound risky to some people. What about theft? Damage? These are reasonable causes for concern, but equally unlikely. As one swapper puts it, “Nobody is going to fly across the ocean or drive 600 miles to come to steal your TV. Besides, at the same time they’re staying in your home, you are staying in their home. ”Exchange sites recommend that swappers discuss such matters ahead of time. They may fill out an agreement spelling out who shoulders which responsibilities if a problem arises. It does not matter if the agreement would hold up in court, but it does give the exchangers a little satisfaction.Generally, the biggest complaint among home exchangers has to do with different standards of cleanliness. Swappers are supposed to make sure their home is in order before they depart, but one person’s idea of “clean” may be more forgiving than another’s. Some owners say ifthey come back to a less-than-sparkling kitchen, it may be inconvenient but would not sour them on future exchanges.26. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. How to exchange homes.B. How home exchange is becoming popular.C. The biggest home exchange agency Intervac.D. A contrast between Intervac and Home Exchanges.27. Which of the fol lowing is closest in meaning to “bills” in the second paragraph?A. advertisesB. dedicatesC. replacesD. participates28. How do home exchangers normally begin their communication?A. By phone.B. By e-mail.C. Via a matchmaker.D. Via a face-to-face meeting.29. What is recommended in the passage to deal with theft and damage concerns?A. One can file a lawsuit in court.B. Both parties can trade online.C. Both parties can sign an agreement beforehand.D. One can damage the home of the other party in return.30. From the passage, we can infer that ________ .A. home exchanges online have been popular for a long timeB. members can access all listings in the home exchange clubC. there is no need to worry about theft in this clubD. the swappers’ homes ar e always in order before their depart(C)［2011·嘉兴模拟］You can tell a lot about people from the clothes they wear, but you can also tell a lot about people simply from the handbags they carry. It’s hard to believe, but you can fin d out a number of things about a woman’s personality just by looking at the type of handbag she sports. Below you will find a number of handbag styles and colors as well as what each specific type of handbagsays about the owner.Styles:Under-the Shoulder—Handbags which are smaller and fit tightly underneath the shoulder indicate class and sophistication. A woman working in an upscale office or someone of high stature would choose this form of handbag.Big and Bulky—Big, bulky and oversized bags are casual and are often associated with younger individuals. These are used for individuals who carry a number of things (binders, books etc) and require a lot of space. Down-to-earth, lower-maintenance women would carry this type of handbag.Designer—Designer handbags often cost an arm and a leg and therefore are usually associated with high-maintenance females. Females who are confident and require top of the line accessories will settle for nothing less than a name-brand designer purse. Guys—watch out for these girls, they tend to be a handful.Cigar Box Purses—A woman who carries a cigar box purse likes to be unique and stand out from the crowd. These women have minds of their own and cannot be told what to do. They are comfortable in their own skin and tend to be very independent.Leather with Buckles and Zippers—Women who choose leather purses with lots of buckles and zippers are leashing out their wild sides. These women tend to act before they think and are always ready for a good time. The extra buckl es and zippers tend to signify a “bad girl” image. Colors:Bright Colors—Bright colored handbags like pink, purple, brightblue and green indicate that the woman is fun, friendly andapproachable. Women who are out-going and sociable will tend tochoose these colors. This is the type of woman who will strike upa conversation with a complete stranger.Black and Brown—Women who choose black or brown handbags tend tobe more formal in manners and are often mistaken as being snobbyor restricted. These types of handbags are often associated withdown-to-earth women, who are shy at first, but open up after a while.They tend to exude a shy confidence, which is sometimes mistaken as someone who thinks she’s better than others.The style and color of your handbag says a lot about you. Choose your handbag very carefully and remember you can choose more than one style.

His office buildings make people enjoyworking, and his houses make people feel comfortable, at home.However, Frank Lloyd Wright’s beautiful, practical a nd usefulbuildings are not the only reason that he is famous. There is anotherreason. Frank Lloyd Wright is called th e greatest Americanarchitect because he started an American style in architecture. Most of the architecture in the United States before Wright was really European, not American. Wright’s buildings do not look like old European buildings. They have their own style. Wright’s ideas about style are still used in the United States and in other parts of the world.The most important idea in F rank Lloyd Wright’s style of architecture is that a building must fit its purpose and the land around it. His houses are often called “grass-land houses” because their lines are similar to the lines on the grassland. Both the lines of the grassland and th e lines of Wright’s house are parallel to the horizon, the place where earth and sky seem to meet. They are horizontal lines. Most European style houses, in contrast, have many vertical lines that form 90°angles with the horizon.36.

But she was pained by ill health, failed romancesand personal tragedy.People fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor in 1944, when she starred in National Velvet—the story of Velvet Brown, a young girl who wins first place in a famous horse race. At first, the producers of the movie told Taylor that she was too small to play the part of Velvet. However, they waited for her for a few months as she exercised and trained—and added three inches toher height in four months! Her acting in National Velvet is still considered the best by a child actress.Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932. Her parents, both Americans, had moved there for business reasons. When World War Ⅱ started, the Taylors moved to Beverly Hills, California, and there Elizabeth started acting in movies. After her success as a child star, Taylor had no trouble moving into adult roles and won twice for Best Actress: Butterfield 8(1960) and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966).Taylor’s fam e and popularity gave her a lot of power with the movie industry, so she was able to demand very high pay for her movies. In 1963, she received $1 million for her part in Cleopatra—the highest pay received by any star up to that time.Elizabeth Taylor is a legend of our time. Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet, she has been lucky: she has beauty, fame and wealth. But she is also a hard worker. In a career of more than 70 years and more than 50 films, she was titled as the best actress in the USA. In addition, she puts much time and efforts into her businesses, and into helping others—about 30 years ago, she founded an organization that has raised more than $40 million for research and education.21. The producers didn’t let Taylor play the part of Velvet at first because they thought she________ .A. was small in sizeB. was too youngC. did not play well enoughD. did not show much interest22. What Elizabeth Taylor and Velvet Brown had in common was that they were both________ .A. popular all their livesB. famous actressesC. successful when very youngD. rich and kind-hearted23. Taylor first became Best Actress at the age of .A. 12B. 28C. 31D. 3424. In her later life, Elizabeth Taylor devoted herself to________ .A. doing business and helping othersB. turning herself into a legendC. collecting money for the poorD. going about research and education work25. What’s the best title of this passage?A. Elizabeth Taylor, Lifelong Star, Dies at 79B. Elizabeth Taylor’s deathC. Elizabeth Taylor’s romances and personal tragedyD. Elizabeth Taylor helped a lot of people〔B〕The Royal Horticulture Society (RHS) finds that womengardeners’ voices speed up the growth of tomato plants much morethan men’s.In an experiment, the research found that tomato plants grewup to two inches taller if they were sung to by a female rather thana male.The most effective voice came from Sarah Darwin, whose great-great grandfather was the botanist(植物学家), Charles Darwin, one of the founding fathers of the RHS.She read a passage from On the Origin of Species and beat nine other “voices〞. Her plant grew nearly two inches taller than the best performing male and half an inch taller than her nearest competitor.Colin Crosbie, Garden Manager at the RHS, said, “We just don’t know why. It could be because they have a greater range of pitch(音高)and tone(音色)that affects the sound waves that hit the plant. Sound waves are an environmental effect just like rain or light. 〞In the experiment, every plant was played a different voice, and the environmental conditions for all the plants remained the same throughout the experiment. To prove the results of the experiment, two plants were also left to grow in silence.The results showed that women’s plants rose by an inch more than men’s and much more than the plants left in complete silence.Miss Darwin said, “I’m not sure if it’s my sweet tones or the text that I read from On the Origin of Species that made the plants listen, but either way, I think it is an honor to have such a voice, and especially fitting for me, because for years I have been studying wild tomatoes at the Natural History Museum (NHM) in London. 〞26. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To prove that women are better gardeners than men.B. To explain which kind of voice is better for plant growth.C. To report the results of an experiment on tomato plants.D. To explain the reason for the experiment results.27. How many tomato plants were chosen for this experiment?A. 9.B. 10.C. 11.D. 12.28. What can we learn about Sarah Darwin?A. She is one of the founders of the RHS.B. She is very proud of her sweet voice.C. She discovered why her voice benefited plants.D. She will work at the NHM in London after the experiment.29. Why were two plants left to grow in silence in the experiment?A. To prove that sound waves are better than rain or light.B. To make the results of the experiment reliable.C. To help find out how many inches plants can grow with the help of voices.D. To prove that the environmental conditions for the plants remained the same.30. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Sarah’s nearest competitor was also a woman.B. Texts from On the Origin of Species can make plants grow faster.C. Men’s voices have a greater range of pitch and tone than women’s.D. Colin Crosbie predicted that women’s voices were better for plants than men’s.答案解析1.【解析】选D。

【试卷总评】2013年山东省高考英语试题秉承了往年山东卷难度适中、不偏不怪这一优良传统，与往年保持相对稳定，难度适中，不偏不怪，内容丰富，试题考点都是中学常见常考的内容。

今年英语科目难度降低，属于“预料之中”，对于英语高手来说，这份试题很难体现出他们的真正实力，试卷整体区分度不大。

同时，试题在选材、设题等方面进行了优化和一定程度的创新。

各题型的具体特点如下：1.听力部分话题丰富，贴近考生明年山东高考不再有听力了，“最后一场听力”是否会成为“史上最难”？听力部分的考察并没有成为“拦路虎”。

今年英语题目难度降低。

除了中下游学生反映，英语听力的前五个句子信息量大，听起来有点吃力外，其他题目难度都适中。

试题秉承了往年一贯的风格：整体难度与往年保持基本一致，语音清晰，语速适当，内容生活化，题目设置合理。

话题都源自考生熟悉的日常生活场景，话题覆盖面广，对话内容逻辑清楚，语言流畅，难度适中。

2.单项填空考点微调，目标明确单项选择题目依然延续了以往的风格，考查点诸如定语从句、非谓语动词等常规类型，是学生平常练习较多的基础知识点，考查得比较全面；单项填空题避免了机械的语法知识考查，而是将语法知识融入到完整自然的语境中进行考查，考生在答题时不会有陌生感，容易理解。

今年该部分没有专门考查词汇知识的试题，主要考查了一些基础的语法知识如时态、状语从句、定语从句、名词性从句、非谓语动词、代词、冠词、介词等，同时该题突出了中学英语教学的几个重点和难点，其中第24、27题分别考查了一般过去时和现在完成时的用法，第31、35题考查了定语从句的相关知识，第25、29、33题考查了非谓语动词的用法，第26、28题考查了状语从句的相关知识。

3.完形填空注重选材，导向积极完形填空也不陌生，以第一人称开头，围绕“我”的变化展开叙述，学生容易理解，也比较综合地考查了学生英语水平。

选用了一篇记叙文。

文章讲述了一个凡事总以自我为中心的年轻人，在经历一番挫折和反思之后，终于明白了为人处世的道理，从而变得善良而又成熟的故事。

There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day. But I became invisible, absent from the conversation.[2] The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent. Recently I was in a car with three friends. The driver told us to be quiet because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone. There we were, four friends going down the highway, unable to talk to one another because of a tool designed to make communication easier.[3]Why is it that the more connected we get, __________ ? Every advance in communications technology is a hurt to the closeness of human interaction (互动). With e-mail and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone.[4]More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation. Or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn’t really have time to talk. The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.[5] So I’ve put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging with people who live near me, no cell phoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when I’m at home.1.

So I decided to trymy hand at online auction（拍卖）.Buying for beginners:Sign up on www. eBay. co. uk. Most items(e. g. tables, computers, and books) ready for auction will come with apicture and a short description; others may be marked with “Buy It Now” and have a fixed price. You can buy these right away. 学#科#If the item is being auctioned, you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids for you. The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid, then you are emailed and asked if youwould like to bid again. Auctions last up to 10 days, and when they finish you get an e-mail telling you whether you have won the item.How to pay: Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a cheque or postal orders. The easiest way is through PayPal, an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card.Selling made simple: If you plan to sell on eBay, it helps to include a picture of the item. I followed my f riends’ advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction, starting on a Thursday. This way buyers had two weekends to bid.The big things in life:It’s easy to post a s mall item, but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collected or sent by deliverymen.

Every little boy wants to grow up to be just like his father, and every littlegirl thinks her father is the smartest man on the earth. It’s not very easy to be agood father, but it’s not that difficult either. Children will truly enjoy spendingtime with their fathers, not just when they are kids, but even when they areadults.Not all children communicate well with their fathers. Communication is often left to mothers, while fathers dispense advice as and when necessary. Don’t ex pect all conversations to centre around the dinner table. Go to your children’s bedrooms and talk to them about school, their teachers or their friends. Remember that the conversation cannot be one-sided. When your children open up to you, you also need to open up to them.If your children come home from school feeling upset, go up to them and ask them what is the matter. And if it is something which seems to you to be a silly reason to be upset, don’t voice your opinion. It may be silly to you, but to yo ur children it is important enough. So don’t wave the topic away by telling them not to bother about such stupid things. Simply discussing their problems with them will help them feel better.Don’t shy away from having discussions about your teenage children’s love lives. Generally speaking, your children are definitely not going to discuss intimate details with you. Try to let them know that you are relaxed about topics on love. Tell your children how you met your wife. It is perfectly normal for children to go through feelings for the opposite sex as they grow up, and by keeping the topic closed for discussion, you are only shutting them off from discussing their feelings with you. All they will do is turn to their friends.25. To children their fathers are usually very _______.A. kindB. greatC. seriousD. strong26.

The Conference suggested the establishment of municipal (市政的) centers which supervise property management, household mending and installation, and house keeping services. Modern city life is creating a need for home services. This will create job opportunities for laidoff work ers, said vice director of the Social Judicial Committee of the Conference.Beijing residents have long desired a home service industry. The demand is expected to drive new economic growth. There are few high quality home help services in Beijing and customers are always complaining.In the past, few laidoff workers worked as home helpers, jobs largely taken by young women from the countryside. At the same time, some city residents have not felt safe trusting rural girls with modern household machines or with their small children. Many people would pay more for reliable house keepers who are more familiar with city life, but they have had no way of getting one, even though the city is home to thousands of laidoff workers.By the end of June this year, there were 30, 600 jobless workers in the city. Most of them are women in their 40’s, who are not blessed with particular skills and who have had their work ethics shaped by the planned economy. Many of them were at a loss when they first realized they had lost their jobs and a way of life they had got used to for decades.They never imagined being laidoff by state; they never considered other kinds of employment. For them, the private sector (领域) meant taking risks; housekeeping implied lower social status. Gao Yunfang, 44, is a pioneer who is breaking the ice. She sells the Beijing Morning Post in the morning, and works at two households in the afternoon. She earns 1, 000 yu an per month.So she no longer wo rries about her daughter’s tuition at a university in Shanghai.29. What is talked about in the passage？A. Home service.B. Modern city life.C.

Her father has hit out at the “Victorian” methods.Chorlton High School put up pictures of year 10 pupils who teachers believed had behaved badly. Children singled out for praise were placed on the wall of fame. Its head teacher said the scheme (策划) was designed to motivate pupils.Carlo Robinson, whose daughter Josie was put on the wall after missing lessons, wants to make a complaint. The teenager had been missing school and turning up late because she was upset that her mother was ill. She said: “I thought it was embarrassing. ”Mr. Robinson added: “She was in tears. She couldn’t tell me at first—it took her about an h our—because she wasn’t sure what I would think of it. When she told me I was really shocked. I con tacted at least 20 friends and they all agreed it was wrong—it’s like Victorian times. ”Head teacher Andy Park said: “We’ve successfully used a similar scheme in the past year with 11 students to incentivise pupils and it really did make a difference—pupils took it in the right spirit and were motivated by it to improve their performance. Obviously this latest scheme wasn’t intended to cause offence to pupils. It was actually developed to praise the students moving forwards successfully and to support pupils who needed to makeimprovements. No parents have complained directly to the school and I’d be very happy to meet with any parents to discuss further. ”Mr. Robinson told the reporter he had contacted the school to schedule a meeting with the head teacher. 学.科.网Z.X.X.K]33.

ZXXK](E)In Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called“satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.Asians are immigrating to Canada and the United States in larger numbers thanever before. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give theirchildren a better education in the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea,it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination.However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyonewho wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go touniversity.The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. Because of these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West. Therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”.Only until now are C anadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kids” problem. Because these ch ildren do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a co untry where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means to grow up alone, because your parents are elsewhere. What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that it’s better to have parents around than to have a university education.37. Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because _______. 学。
