You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.（分数：10.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 解析：Impatience has been around for a long time. There is nothing new about people losing their patience while stuck in traffic or waiting in line. But some experts believe that people are less patient today than in the past. Some analysts suggest that in recent years many people are less patient because of technology.They suggest that "digital technology, from cellphones to emails to iPads, is changing our lives. The instant results we get from this technology have in turn increased our desire for instant satisfaction in other aspects of our lives." Psychologist Jennifer Hartstein makes some observations. She explains that " we have become an immediate satisfaction culture, and we expect things to move quickly, efficiently and in the way we want. When that doesn' t happen, we tend to become increasingly frustrated and unsatisfied." Some believe that e-mailis losing popularity and could soon become outdated. Why? Because many people who send messages do not have the patience to wait hours, or even minutes, for a response. Also, with e-mails, as with letter writing, introductory and concluding greetings are often expected. But many people consider such formalities (客套)to be boring and time-consuming. They prefer instant messaging. Many people do not take the time to proofread what they put in writing. As a result, letters and e-mails contain numerous grammatical and spelling errors. The thirst for immediate results is not limited to the digital communications. People seem to be losing their ability to wait in other areas of life. For instance, do you ever find yourself talking too fast, eating too fast, driving too fast, or spending money too fast? The few moments it takes to wait for an elevator to come, for a traffic light to change, or for a computer to start may seem like too long a time.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the first paragraph, people______.（分数：2.00）A.have been patient for a long timeB.were more patient in the past √ed to be patient while stuck in trafficed to be patient while waiting in line解析：(2).Nowadays people lose their patience because______.（分数：2.00）A.their desire for satisfaction has increasedB.they are bored with what they haveC.their life has been changed by technology √D.they have more things to do than before解析：(3).Some believe that e-mail could soon become outdated because______.（分数：2.00）A.it takes a long time to start the computerB.people value formalities between friendsC.cellphones are more popular nowadaysD.people can hardly wait for a response √解析：(4).The pursuit of instant results causes people to______.（分数：2.00）A.have more errors in their writings √B.become more impolitee voice messages instead of emailsD.lose many of their abilities in life解析：(5).The best title for the passage might be "______"（分数：2.00）A.Are We Less Patient Today? √B.What Are the Problems Caused by Impatience?C.What Happened to Technology?D.Has Digital Technology Changed Our Lives?解析：Kids often ask Scout Bassett, of Palm Desert, California, if she wishes she had two normal legs. Scout, 18, answers, "No. I have never known anything different, and it would seem weird to me. Besides, if it weren't for the missing leg, I wouldn't have the opportunities I have today!" Scout has faced big challenges. When she was only months old, she suffered from terrible burns. Her right leg was especially damaged, and doctors cut it off above the knee. When she was 14, she got a high-tech leg made for sports and put it to the test right away in a race for disabled athletes. " I remember being terrified because this was my first time," she says. "But my doctor said, ' You have to start somewhere .' " Scout was waiting nervously for the race to start when athleteSarah Reinertsen came up and said, "I' ve been doing this for a while. Let me give you some tips." Reinertsen, who lost her leg when she was seven, is the first disabled woman to have finished the Ironman Triathlon (铁人三项)in Hawaii. She works with an organization to help support people like Scout. Reinertsen' s encouragement changed the teenager' s life. She lost that first race, but gained the confidence that she needed to compete. If Sarah could do it, she could too. Training hard, she now runs competitively and also finds time to share her story with school groups. " Sometimes people look at me or at Sarah and think they have nothing in common with us. I tell them that even if you aren' t physically challenged, everybody has challenges of some kind—maybe with family, or homework, or friends. No matter what it is, you can overcome that obstacle," she says. "Everything you need is inside your heart. Take small steps. As time goes by, the steps will get bigger and you will reach your dream."（分数：10.00）(1).Why does Scout answer "No" when asked if she wants two normal legs?（分数：2.00）A.She' s scared of changing her current situation.B.She couldn' t have them even if she wanted to.C.She's satisfied with what she has achieved as a disabled. √D.She has never thought about it before.解析：(2).What does the doctor mean by saying "You have to start somewhere" (Para. 2)?（分数：2.00）A.She has to find the right place to start.B.She has to do it sooner or later. √C.That will be a memorable first time.D.That is a perfect time to start.解析：(3).Scout's childhood experiences______.（分数：2.00）A.were the cause of her shynessB.were a nightmare until she reached 14C.didn' t have much influence on her later lifeD.didn't stop her from fulfilling herself √解析：(4).Which of the following statements is true?（分数：2.00）A.Sarah shared her story with school students.B.Sarah started to compete at the age of seven.C.Scout joined Sarah' s organization to help others.D.Scout has been inspired by Sarah' s success. √解析：(5).Through Scout' s story, the author wants to tell us that______.（分数：2.00）A.inner strength can help one overcome difficulties √B.the disabled are mentally stronger than othersC.good things will come no matter whatD.everybody has to challenge himself解析：It was a chilly November evening in New York City, and my daughter and I were walking up Broadway. Nora noticed a guy sitting inside a cardboard box next to a newsstand. She pulled at my coat sleeve and said, "That man' s cold, Daddy. Can we take him home?" I don't remember my reply, but I do remember a sudden heavy feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her world, whether it was birds in flight or children playing. But now she was noticing suffering and poverty. She wasn' t even four. A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who delivered meals to elderly people. The volunteers went to a nearby school on a Sunday morning, picked up a food package, and delivered it to an elderly person. I signedus up. Nora was excited about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how valuable our job was. When Sunday came, we picked up the package and phoned the elderly person we' d been assigned. She invited us right over. The building was depressing. When the door opened, facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress. She took the package and asked if we would like to come in. Nora ran inside. I reluctantly followed. Our hostess showed us some photos of her family. Nora played and laughed. I accepted a second cup of tea. When it came time to say good-bye, we three stood in the doorway and hugged. I walked home in tears. Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something enjoyable that' s good for yourself as well as for others? Indeed, the poverty my daughter and I helped lessen that Sunday afternoon was not the woman' s alone—it was in our lives, too.

That footprint reflects the amount of carbon dioxide that is emitted (排放)into the atmosphere as a result of someone' s daily activities. Carbon footprints tend to be low for city dwellers(城镇居民). Living in a suburb outside a city, however, can turn that footprint into a bootprint. Energy researchers Christopher Jones and Daniel Kammen calculated carbon footprints for people in every zip code across the United States. People living in city centers had small footprints, the researchers found. "It is much easier to have a low carbon impact if your homeis close to where you work, shop and play," explains Jones. Living within walking or biking distance cuts back on the amount of carbon dioxide associated with moving people by cars. And cities with extensive bus and subway networks allow people to travel great distances while keeping releases of climate-altering greenhouse gases low. Not everyone can afford to live in the city, however. And not everyone wants to. Rings of suburbs have popped up around major cities across the world. Suburbs offer more space, allowing people to build larger homes. Suburbs may offer better schools for a family' s kids. But those homes are typically well beyond walking distance from where their owners work, play or learn. So people who live in suburbs often drive long distances. The new findings are an important contribution to climate research, says Matthew Kahn, an environmental economist at the University of California, who was not involved with the study. Kahn would like to see the analysis applied to other parts of the world—Europe, India and China, for instance. That would give scientists a better feel for how culture might mix with location to influence our carbon footprints.（分数：10.00）(1)."Footprint" refers to the amount of carbon dioxide released by______.（分数：2.00）A.an individual √B.an industryC.a regionD.a country解析：(2).What is the new finding concerning the footprints of people living in cities and those living in suburbs?（分数：2.00）A.The two are not at all comparable.B.The former are higher than the latter.C.The former are similar to the latter.D.The latter are higher than the former. √解析：(3).What is the key factor mentioned to explain the new findings?（分数：2.00）A.Spending habits.B.Distance travelled by cars. √C.Size of families.D.Attitude towards energy saving.解析：(4).What does Matthew Kahn think of the new findings?（分数：2.00）A.He thinks highly of them. √B.He is confused by the mixed messages.C.He can easily understand them.D.He doubts their validity.解析：(5).What is the purpose of the author in writing the passage?（分数：2.00）A.To call on people to reduce carbon footprints.B.To offer tips on how to live a low-carbon life.C.To introduce the research on carbon footprints. √D.To clear up misunderstandings about carbon emission.解析：三、 Vocabulary and Structure(总题数：21，分数：42.00)2.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences.

1. It is not easy ____ the answer to the difficult math problem.A. to figure outB. figuring outC. figure outD. being figured out【答案】A. 本题考查的是it 作形式主语，真正的主语是to do。

这种句型很常见，例如：It’s difficult to find a job these days. 如今找一份工作很难。

2. He has already made up his mind. It’s no use_____ him.A. try to persuadeB. trying to persuadeC. to try to persuadeD. to try persuading【答案】B It is no use doing sth.“作某事没有用”是固定搭配。

Ing做真正主语。

3. ____ is one of good properties of this metal.A. Light in weightB. Having been light in weightC. Be light in weightD. Being light in weight【答案】D 主语应该是名词性质，因此排除A项，因为light 是形容词；也排除C 项，be light in weight 不能作为名词词性；而此句陈述的是客观真理，应该用一般现在时而不是完成时，所以选D项。

D项意为“质量轻”，in 表示“在某方面”，weight “质量，重量”；句意为“重量轻是这种金属的优良特征之一。

高考英语非谓语动词非谓语动词定义非谓语动词是指在句子中不是谓语的动词，主要包括不定式、动名词和分词（现在分词和过去分词），即动词的非谓语形式。

现代英语将现在分词和动名词合为一大类叫作v + ing形式。

这些动词的形式不能在句中单独作谓语用，因而没有语法主语。

但可以有逻辑主语。

由于没有语法主语，也就不受人称和数的限定，因为不是谓语，也就没有时态和语态，但这些词仍能表示动作和状态，所以仍有表示与其他动词相对时间关系的形式。

非谓语动词（一）——动词不定式：1. 动词不定式由“to+ 动词原形”构成；否定式：not + to do构成，如：It’s wrong of you not to attend the meeting.2. 动词不定式的基本用法：动词不定式能起名词、形容词和副词的作用，可在句中作主语、表语、宾语补足语、定语和状语用。

（1）作主语：To help each other is good.（动词不定式作主语时，一般可用it作形式主语，而将作主语的动词不定式置于句末，如：It is good to help each other.（2）作表语：My job is to drive them to the power station every day.（3）作宾语：①作及物动词的宾语，如：She wishes to be a musician.；②作某些形容词的宾语：可以有动词不定式为宾语的形容词一般有glad, sorry, afraid, pleased, determined, willing, eager, anxious, ready, sure等.（4）作宾语补足语，如：Tell the children not to play on the street. 如果句中的谓语动词为see, hear, watch, notice, have, make, let等，作宾语补足语的动词不定式须将to省去.（5）动词不定式在句中作宾语，如带有宾语补足语时，须先用it作形式宾语，而将该动词不定式后置，如：I don’t think it right to do it that way.（6）作状语：动词不定式可以作下列的状语：①目的状语：Every morning he gets up very early to read English.为了强调不定式表示目的的作用，可在不定式前加in order to或so as to（以便或为了），但应注意in order to 位于句首或句中均可，而so as to不能位于句首.如：She reads China Daily every day in order to (so as to) improve her English.将表示目的的不定式置于句首，也可强调目的的作用.如：To master a foreign language, one must work hard at it.注意不定式放句首时，逻辑主语与句子主语要一致：wrong：To save money, every means has been tried.right：To save money, he has tried every means. 为了省钱，他使出了浑身解数。

Chooseone best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.At first glance,there hardly seems to be any comparison between Ravenna and Rome,but backin the 5th century ,it was Ravenna that served as capital of the Western Roman Empire. In this city,Roman rulers built monuments which are famous, then and now, for their sweeping mosaics (镶嵌图案). Seven of Ravenna's eight buildings from the 5th and 6th centuries are spectacularly decoratedwith examples of this ancient art. "In the past, many people couldn't read or write," says tour guideand Ravenna native Silvia Giogoli. "Mosaics were a way to explain thereligion and the political situ-ation to the people. " Visitors to Ravenna can look at pieces of art by ancient artists, listen to musicians, and learn tomake their own masterpieces.Travel TipsWhen to Go:June--October; weather is pleasant in April and May but historic sites can get crowded with school groups.Where to Stay:Walk through historic district sites from Albergo Cappello and stay at a modernHotel Centrale Byron.How to Get Around:Take the train from Bologna, and then walk, bike, or use taxis within the city.Where to Eat or Drink:Housed in a former movie theater, two-storey Ristorante Cinema Alex-ander blends 1940s Hollywood flavor with homemade Emilia Romagna courses and attentive service(helpful in translating the menu). For fresh seafood, try Osteria L'Accigua and Da Buco.What to Buy : Watch the next generation of Emilia Romagna mosaic artists create contemporaryand traditional pieces in local studios where modern artists use the same methods as their Byzantineforefathers.What to Read Before You Go:Ravenna in Late Antiquity, by Deborah Mauskopf Deliyannis-. 2010) ,provides a wide-ranging look at the city's art, architecture, and history.第36题单选 In ancient times, mosaics were used toA.display artistic achievementspete with Roman paintingsC.explain religion and politicsD.teach reading and writing参考答案：C第37题单选 Lots of school children visit historic sites such as Ravenna inA.MayB.JuneC.SeptemberD.October参考答案：A第38题单选 If you want to try fresh seafood,you should go to__________ .A.Emilia RomagnaB.Hotel Centrale ByronC.Ristorante Cinema AlexanderD.Osteria L'Accigua and Da Buco参考答案：D第39题单选 Why is Ravenna in Late Antiquity recommended in this passage?A.Because it was written by a famous writer.B.Because tourists get to learn a lot about the city from it.C.Because tourists can get valuable tips for buying art pieces.D.Because it provides useful information about the city's weather.参考答案：BWhen you pat your pet dog, he wags (摆来摆去)his tail. That is his way of saying that he lovesyou. And, if you pay attention, you will see that he uses his tail to say so many things. Every move-ment of the tail means a different thing. If the dog is wagging its tail, it is a sign of friendliness ; if histail is straight, it means he is getting ready for a fight ; and if his tail is tucked (塞) behind his legs, itmeans he is giving up the fight.Unlike dogs, cats' tail language is not so expressive. When a cat feels threatened, he puffs him-self up to appear big and his tail shakes with tension. And when he is displeased with something, helashes out(甩动) his tail.The tail language of dogs and cats has a little story behind it. Earlier, when dogs and cats hadnot become friends with human beings, they were predators. They used to hunt other animals for theirfood. When dogs went out hunting with their friends, tail language came handy. When they were closeto each other, dogs could use facial expressions to talk. But, for long-distance c,o~mmunication, theyused their tails. Unlike dogs, cats liked to hunt alone. So, they did not need to use tail language toooften. As a result, their vocabulary in tail language is much smaller than that of dogs'.第40题单选 What does it mean when a dog's tail is straight?A.It has a lot to say to you.B.It wants to stop fighting.C.It is going to fight.D.It likes to be patted.参考答案：C第41题单选 A cat tries to appear big when it is __________ .A.facing a dangerB.unhappyC.ready to huntD.hungry参考答案：A第42题单选 Which of the following does the author intend to say?A.Dogs and cats are not good friends.B.Dogs are much friendlier than cats.C.Dogs and cats are usually good pets.D.Dogs use tail language more than cats.参考答案：D第43题单选 In the last paragraph, the underlined word "predato.rs" refers to __________ .A.animals that follow and obey other animalsB.animals that kill and eat other animalsC.animals that live in the wildD.animals kept by people参考答案：BLike any teenagers, the face of One Teen Story is changing fast. Just a year old, the monthlymagazine of short fiction for young people is getting a new editor-in-chief: Patrick Ryan ,47, the asso-ciate editor of Granta from 2009 to 2013. He left the London-based literary journal last month.Editing One Teen Story--the younger sibling(姐妹篇)of One Story magazine--will offer Ryan achance to reach a whole new audience. "It's really the only magazine for young adult short fiction,"he says from his office in New York. "It's tremendously exciting that there are younger people outthere who have subscriptions and look forward to getting these stories once a month. That form is usu-ally only presented when it's forced upon them in schools. "Designed for readers 14 and up, One Teen Story publishes nine issues a year. Like its siblingmagazine, it doesn't carry photographs or advertising. It's just exactly what it says:one story per issue.Ryan says young people are "looking for engaging reads about people whom they can identifywith. It's not about having a message or positive spin (说教). It always starts on a character level,and it has to have an interesting story. If you look at the ' Twilight' characters and the ' HarryPotter' characters,they feel very contemporary. "Ryan also sees the magazine as a way to encourage talented authors. "I would love to make OneTeen Story the first publication for writers who then go on and keep at this business. I just really lovethe idea that this magazine would be the starting point for somebody--would be the push to make a talented writer feel that it was woah keeping at this.”第44题单选 Who is Patrick Ryan?A.He is the editor.in.chief of Granta.B.He is the editor—in—chief of One Story.C.He is the editor.in—chief of“Twilight”. 、D.He is the editor—in-chief of One Teen Story.参考答案：D第45题单选 What is One Teen Story?A.It is a story magazine for teenagers.B.It is a London—based literary iournal.C.It is a column of a newspaper.D.It is a magazine of science fiction.参考答案：A第46题单选 According to Ryan。

Choose the best one and mark your answer onthe ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneKids often ask Scout Bassett, of Palm Desert, California, if she wishes she had two normal legs. Scout, 18,answers, “No. I have never known anything different, and it would seem weird to me. Besides, if it weren^t for themissing leg, I wouldn?t have the opportunities I have today!”Scout has faced big challenges. When she was only months old,she suffered from terrible burns. Her right leg wasespecially damaged,and doctors cut it off above the knee. When she was 14,she got a high-tech leg made for sportsand put it to the test right away in a race for disabled athletes. “I remember being terrified because this was my firsttime，’’ she says. “But my doctor said，‘You have to start somewhere. ’ ”Scout was waiting nervously for the race to start when athlete Sarah Reinertsen came up and said，“I’ve beendoing this for a while. Let me give you some tips. ’’ R einertsen，who lost her leg when she was seven, is the firstdisabled woman to have finished the Ironman Triathlon(铁人三项）in Hawaii. She works with an organization tohelp support people like Scout.Reinertsen’s encouragement changed the teenager^s life. S he lost that first race, but gained the confidence thatshe needed to compete. If Sarah could do it,she could too. Training hard, she now runs competitively and also findstime to share her story with school groups.“Sometimes people look at me or at Sarah and think they have nothing in common with us. I tell them that even ifyou arenJt physically challenged, everybody has challenges of some kind —maybe with family，or homework,orfriends. No matter what it is,you can over-come that obstacle，” she says. “Everything you need is inside your heart.Take small steps.

There is nothing new about people losing their patience while stuckin traffic or waiting in line. But some experts believe that people are less patient today than in the past.Some analysts suggest that in recent years many people are less patient because of technology. They suggest that"digital technology, from cellphones to e-mails to iPads, is changing our lives. The instant results we get from thistechnology have in turn increased our appetite for instant satisfaction in other aspects of our lives."Psychologist Jennifer Hartstein makes some observations. She explains that “we have become animmediate satisfaction culture, and we expect things to move quickly, efficiently and in the way we want. When thatdoesn7t happen, we tend to become increasingly frustrated and unsatisfied. “Some believe that e-mail is losing popularity and could soon become outdated. Why? Because many people whosend messages do not have the patience to wait hours, or even minutes, for a response. Also, with e-mails, as withletter writing, introductory and concluding greetings are often expected. But many people consider suchformalities(客套)to be boring and time-consuming. They prefer instant messaging. Many people do not take the timeto proofread what they put in writing. As a result, letters and e-mails contain numerous grammatical andtypographical errors.The thirst for immediate results is not limited to the realm of digital communications. People seem to be losingtheir ability to wait in other areas of life. For instance, do you ever find yourself talking too fast, eating too fast,driving too fast, or spending money too fast? The few moments it takes to wait for an elevator to come, for a trafficlight to change, or for a computer to start may seem like too long a time.21. According to the first paragraph,people______ .A. were more patient in the pastB. have been patient for a long timeC. used to be patient while stuck in trafficD. used to be patient while waiting in line22. Nowadays people lose their patience because .______A. their desire for satisfaction has increasedB. they are bored with what they haveC. they have more things to do than beforeD. their life has been changed by technology23. Some believe that e-mail could soon become outdated because_______ .A. it takes a long time to start the computerB. people value formalities between friendsC. people can hardly wait for a responseD. cellphones are more popular nowadays24. The pursuit of instant results causes people to __.A. become more impoliteB. have more errors in their writingsC. use voice messages instead of emailsD. lose many of their abilities in life25. The best title for the passage might be “”A. What Are the Problems Caused by Impatience?B. Are We Less Patient Today?C. What Happened to Technology?D. Has Digital Technology Changed Our Lives?Passage ThreeScientists measured the impact that people have on the environment using a term called carbon “footprint. ” Thatfootprint reflects the amount of carbon dioxide that is emitted(排放）into the atmosphere as a result of someone’sdaily activities. Carbon footprints tend to be low for city dwellers(城镇居民）. Living in a suburb outside a city,however, can turn that footprint into a bootprint.Energy researchers Christopher Jones and Daniel Kammen calculated carbon footprints for people in every zipcode across the United States. People living in city centers had small footprints, the researchers found. ,lIt is mucheasier to have a low carbon impact if your home is close to where you work, shop and play,” explains Jones. Livingwithin walking or biking distance cuts back on the amount of carbon dioxide associated with moving people by cars.And cities with extensive bus and subway networks allow people to travel great distances while keeping releases ofclimate-altering greenhouse gases low.Not everyone can afford to live in the city, however. And not everyone wants to. Rings of suburbs have popped uparound major cities across the world. Suburbs offer more space, allowing people to build larger homes. Suburbs mayoffer better schools for a family?s kids. But those homes are typically well beyond walking distance from where theirowners work, play or learn. So people who live in suburbs often drive long distances. The new findings are an important contribution to climate research, says Matthew Kahn,an environmentaleconomist at the University of California, who was not involved with the study. Kahn would like to see the analysisapplied to other parts of the world—Europe, India and China, for instance. That would give scientists a better feel forhow culture might mix with location to influence our carbon footprints.26. “Footprint” refers to the amount of carbon dioxide released by.A. an industryB. an individualC. a regionD. a country27. What is the new finding concerning the footprints of people living in cities and those living in suburbs?A. The two are not at all comparable.B. The former are higher than the latter.C. The latter are higher than the former.D. The former are similar to the latter.28. What is the key factor mentioned to explain the new "findings?A. Distance travelled by cars.B. Spending habits.C. Size of families.D. Attitude towards energy saving.29. What does Matthew Kahn think of the new findings?A. He is confused by the mixed messages.B. He thinks highly of them.C. He can easily understand them.D. He doubts their validity.30. What is the purpose of the author in writing the passage?A. To call on people to reduce carbon footprints.B. To offer tips on how to live a low-carbon life.C. To clear up misunderstandings about carbon emission.D. To introduce the research on carbon footprints.Passage FourIt was a chilly November evening in New York City,and my daughter and I were walking up Broadway. Noranoticed a guy sitting inside a cardboard box next to a newsstand. She pulled at my coat sleeve and said, “That manJscold,Daddy. Can we take him home?”I don’t remember my reply,but I do remember a sudden heavy feeling inside me.

She wasn’t even four.A few days later,I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who delivered meals to elderly people. Thevolunteers went to a nearby school on a Sunday morning,picked up a food package,and delivered it to an elderlyperson. I signed us up. Nora was excited about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easilysee how valuable our job was. When Sunday came, we picked up the package and phoned the elderly person weMbeen assigned. She invited us right over.The building was depressing. When the door opened, facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress. Shetook the package and asked if we would like to come in. Nora ran inside. I reluctantly followed. Our hostess showedus some photos of her family. Nora played and laughed. I accepted a second cup of tea. When it came time to saygood-bye, we three stood in the doorway and hugged. I walked home in tears. Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something enjoyable that’s good for yourself aswell as for others?
