本文通过叙述Dr。Alecia Carter 在狒狒身上进行的一项研究显示动物的性格在社会化的学习中起着很重要的作用。同样人类也与此相似，我们的文化的形成正是通过交换信息等社会学习活动。
59.【答案】A
【解析】段落大意题。根据第一段2，3，4行Dr。Alecia Carter of the Department of Zoology，Cambridge University set baboons learning tasks involving a novel food and a familiar food
hidden in a box。Some baboons were given the chance to watch another baboon who already knew how to solve the task，while others had to learn for themselves。可知本段主要描述他进行的这项研究的设计方案，也就是他在这项研究里是如何做的。故A正确。
60.【答案】D
【解析】细节题。根据第三段第2句The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not，even though they spent more time watching。可知那些很焦虑的急切想学习的狒狒学得更快，更好。而那些害羞的狒狒却没有能够做到。故D正确。
61.【答案】C
【解析】推理题。根据第三段The same held true for anxious baboons compared with calm
ones。The anxious individuals learnt the task by observing others while those who were relaxed did not，even though they spent more time watching。可知一些狒狒虽然观察了很长时间，但是并没有采取行动。这一错位说明性格在动物的社会行为中起着很重要的作用。第四段里的mismatch就是指第三段最后一句while those who were relaxed did not，even though they spent more time watching。的内容。故C正确。
62.【答案】B
【解析】推理题。根据文章最后一段第一句The findings may impact how we understand the formation of culture in societies through social learning 可知人们是通过社会学习来理解我们文化的组成的。也就是说人们需要相互交换信息，相互学习。故B正确。
【考点】广告应用类阅读。

63.【答案】D
【解析】推理题。根据文章2，3段It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee. By the time you found the
bus station and got yourself sorted out，it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland．和Not many tourists find this place，and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along可知从曼谷去那里要花很长的时间，而且很受有游客能够找到这个地方。作者第一次去也花了很长的时间。故D正确。
64.【答案】A
【解析】细节题。根据文章第五段It’s early afternoon，so the cook comes out and asks what you’d like to eat this evening。Before long he’s rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered —every meal fresh and to order。No menu here。可知在这里吃饭，是没有菜单的。都是量身定做的，故A 正确。
65.【答案】B
【解析】推理题。根据文章倒数第二段Normally you’re the type who can’t sit still for more than ten minutes，but you’re on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and，in the right frame of mind，it stretches all the way around the world．可知如果你正常是一个很难停下来很忙碌的人，那么来到这里，你就应该忘记一切，享受大自然的美丽。故B正确。
66.【答案】D
【解析】推理题。根据文章最后一段之前的描述可知这里的风景迷人，饭菜可口，生活惬意。作者后悔很晚才发现有这样的地方。故D正确。
【考点】社会生活类阅读。
作者在本文中通过Dr. Christopher Wilk告诉我们电梯在美国人的生活中是非常重要的。随着城市规模的扩大，电梯的实使用越来越多。人们要更加关注电梯的作用。
67.【答案】A
【解析】推理题。根据文章1，2行For most city people，the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains，jets，and even bicycles。可知大部分人都认为电梯是不值得关注的机器。而Dr. Christopher Wilk认为这是一种错误的想法，他认为电梯和汽车几乎同样重要。故this就是在指大众对于电梯的错误的看法，故A正确。
68.【答案】B
【解析】主旨大意题。作者在本文中通过Dr. Christopher Wilk告诉我们电梯在美国人的生活中是非常重要的。再根据文章最后一段And for the people who really，really love them，it seems like high time that we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are。作者提醒我们要认真注意电梯的作用。所以作者写作本文就是为了告诉我们电梯的作用。故B正确。
69.【答案】C
【解析】推理题。本题较难。根据第三段3，4，5行that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable
experience。“After 150 years，we are still not used to it，”Bernard said．“We still have not exactly learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure。”可知人们陈祚电梯的时候感觉这不是很愉快，注意是因为电梯里的冷漠和不愉快。而这主要是因为电梯里的空间太小，给人各种压抑感。本题也可以使用排除法。故C正确。
70.【答案】C
【解析】推理题。根据文章最后一段前4行Today，as the world’s urban population explodes，and cities become more crowded，taller，and more crowded，America’s total number of elevators —900，000 at last count，according to Elevator World magazine’s “2012Vertical Transportation Industry”—are a force that’s becoming more important than ever。可知随着城市规模的扩大，电梯的实使用越来越多。人们要更加关注电梯的作用。故C正确。

74.【答案】whoever provides/has provided
【解析】本句的是名词性从句中的宾语从句，“特殊疑问词+ever”既可以引导名词性从句，也可以引导让步状语从句。本题中的whoever引导的是宾语从句，whoever在句中做主语。
75.【答案】that has been selected
【解析】本句的是定语从句，当定语从句的先行词是指物的名词，且前面有the only 修饰的时候，要使用的关系代词是that，本句的先行词是the only student 是一个单数形式，使用现在完成时的单数形式表示已经被选中。

80.【答案】before I could take in before I took in
【解析】本句的是固定句式：It be+一段时间+before从句，表示一段时间以后某事才发生。有两种时态的构成法。前后读使用过去时，或者before后面使用一般现在时，前面的主句使用将来时。

2014年辽宁高考英语试题 A A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exames than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑). Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility(清晰度).But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught. Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptops increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said. In the first experiment, students were give either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts. The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts. The reseachers’ report said , “While more notes are beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disapears.’’ In another experiment aimed at testing long- term memory, students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exame. These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future. 21. Most and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can______. A. write more notes B. digest concepts better C. get higher scores D. understand lectures better 22. While taking notes, laptop users tend to be__________. A. skillful B. mindless C. thoughtful D. tireless 23. The author of the passage aims to_________. A. examine the importance of long-term memory B. stress the bebfit of taking notes by hand C. explain the process of taking notes D. promote the use of laptops 24. The passage is likely to appear in ________. A. a newspaper advertisement B. a computer textpaper C. a science magzine D. a finance report B (Q= Question; A= Answer) Situation Ⅰ Q: If someone sits right next to me in an empty movie theater, is it rude to move? A: Maybe, but nobody will faul t you for it. Chances are that the close sitter doesn’t realize he disturbs you, so he may miss your annoyance. You undoubtedly aren’t the first person he’s met who needs enough room. Forgive his bad judgment, move quietly and enjoy the show. SituationⅡ Q: If I use the bathroom at a store, do I need to buy something? A: Consider frequency and urgency. Is this a one-time thing or an emergency? If so, you don’t have to buy anything, but it would be kind if you did. However, if you regularly use the bathroom at this place, then you are a customer, and you should act like one. SituationⅢ Q: If someone is talking loudly on the bus, is there a nice way to ask him to keep it down? A: NO. Try other means: 1) Stare at him until he gets aware of it and quiets down. 2) Lift your finger in a silence motion(动作) and smile. 3) Put on earphones and ignore him. SituationⅣ Q: I f I remember my friend’s birthday a day late, should I apologize or just wish her a happy birthday like nothing happened. A: This is the reason why the word belated was invented. “Happy belated birthday!” is short for, “Well, I know I forgot, but then I remembered. Forgive me and happy birthday.” SituationⅤ Q: Can I lie about seeing a text because I was too busy or lazy to respond (回复)to it? A: Don’t lie. Receiving a text does not mean you need to respond to it. Why waste a perfectly go od lie when the

[试卷总评]:2013年湖北英语试题总体难度较难。没有偏题、怪题。命题中，注意考查学生的英语素质，注意保证知识覆盖面，增加综合性和语境化的因素。听力部分：语音纯正，语速一般，试题难度适中。。单项选择：10个，21－30主要以考查词性为主（包括名词，动词和形容词），同时同时也考查了两个动词短语和一个介词短语。这一部分较难，特别是针对平时不认真去记忆和理解单词的部分考生来说，就更难了。比如，这第21题，27题，四个选项的单词又是不常用的单词，做的时候就不容易正确。完形填空：记叙文。以拟人的方式，记叙了Zigfried这只老鼠看到搬了一家新人来，圣诞过十分满意，却不知自己成了别人的圣诞礼物的故事，故事情节清晰，逻辑性强，易于理解。阅读理解五篇，总体难度适中，A 篇这是一篇说明文，介绍了作者的爱好就是记录下自己的经历，但作者后来感受到记录经历，不如享受现在。四个题较易。B篇是一篇记叙文，记叙了Perri Klass and her mother, Sheila Solomon Klass, 两母女作者的故事。C篇是一篇议论文，讨论了我们到一个了怪圈，不是饥饿，而是生活好，让我们死去的风险更大。D篇是一篇夹叙夹认的记叙文。Mrs. Almond 通过网上技术，她自认为得了喉癌，而实际上是肺结核。所以我们不能单一的依赖网络。这四篇较易。题也较易。D篇是一篇议论文。通过调查发现：随着年龄的增长，对生活的期望也就下降。文章具有一定的阅读难度。题也较难。信息匹配题，能很好地考查文章信息匹配和词形变化。完成句子这一部分，考查得较全面，是不可多得的一部分，能真正考查学生的知识与能力。作文是一篇开放式作文，给出写作的事例和要求，要求考生要有相应的知识储备，这一部分对考生的要求较高。总之，2013高考湖北英语试题能很好考查学生英语知识水平和英语素质的英语试题。 绝密★启用前 2013年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（湖北卷） 英语
