We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be 1 to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are 2 wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully (欺负) others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong..
Rules can help the public make the right 3 , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent 4 .
If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be 5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view. For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is 6 acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into 7 .

Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is 9 to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and 10 be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel to 11 when stealing some food to eat, if lives in a really poor area and he is 12 .

Ⅲ阅读(共两节，满分40分)
第—节阅渎理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读—列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a s mile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
“Have a nice day. Next!” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words came out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.
The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”
The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart- warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.
Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.
26.How does the author understand Maxie’s word s?
A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.
B. Maxie really wishes the author a good day.
C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.
D. Maxie really worries about the author’s security.
27.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. The sales-girl is rude.
B. The sales-girl is bored.
C. The sales-girl cares about me.
D. The sales-girl says the words as a routine.
28.By saying “Have a nice day,” a stranger may _____.
A. try to be polite to you
B. express respect to you
C. give his blessing to you
D. share his pleasure with you
29.According to the last paragraph, people say “Have a nice day”_______.
A. sincerely
B. as thanks
C. as a habit
D. encouragingly
30.What is the best title of the passage?
A. Have a Nice Day—a Social Custom
B. Have a Nice Day—a Pleasant Gesture
C. Have a Nice Day—a Heart-warming Greeting
D. Have a Nice Day—a Polite Ending of a Conversation
B
I have been consistently opposed to feeding a baby regularly. As a doctor, mother and scientist in child development I believe there is nothing to recommend it, from the baby’s point of view.
Mothers, doctors and nurse alike have no idea of where a baby’s blood sugar level lies. All we know is that a low level is harmful to brain development and makes a baby easily annoyed. In this state, the baby is difficult to calm down and sleep is impossible. The baby asks for attention by crying and searching for food with its mouth.
It is not just unkind but also dangerous to say a four-hourly feeding schedule will make a baby satisfied. The first of the experts to advocate a strict clock-watching schedule was Dr Frederic Truby King who was against feeding in the night. I’ve never heard anything so ridiculous. Baby feeding shouldn’t follow a timetable set by the mum. What is important is feeding a baby In the best way, though it may cause some inconvenience in the first few weeks.
Well, at last we have copper-bottomed research that supports demand feeding and points out the weaknesses of strictly timed feeding. The research finds out that babies who are fed on demand do better at school at age 5, 7, 11 and 14, than babies fed according to the clock. By the age of 8, their IQ （智商）scores are four to five percent higher than babies fed by a rigid timetable. This Research comes from Oxford and Essex University using a sample（样本）of 10,419 children born in the early
1990s,taking account of parental education, family income, a child’s sex and age, the mother’s health and feeling style. These results don’t surpri se me. Feeling according to schedule runs the risk of harming the rapidly growing brain by taking no account of sinking blood sugar levels.
I hope this research will put an end to advocating strictly timed baby feeling practices.
31.According to Paragraph 2,one reason why a baby cries is that it feels______.
A. sick
B. upset
C. sleepy
D. hungry
32.What does the author think about Dr King?
A. He is strict
B. He is unkind
C. He has the wrong idea.
D. He sets a timetable for mothers
33.The word copper-bottomed in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. basic
B. reliable
C. surprising
D. interesting
34.What does the research tell us about feeling a baby on demand?
A. The baby will sleep well.
B. The baby will have its brain harmed.
C. The baby will have a low blood sugar level.
D. The baby will grow to be wiser by the age of 8.
35.The author supports feeling the baby_______.
A. in the night
B. every four hours
C. whenever it wants food
D. according to its blood sugar level

I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenager girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads, coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.
One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something, “I’m awfully sorry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. N o one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.
Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.
But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; It seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.
36.The girl refused to ask for help because she thought_________.
A. she might be recognized
B. asking for help looked silly
C. she was normal and independent
D. being fond blind was embarrassing
37.After the girl got off the bus that evening, she_________.
A. began to run
B. hit a person as usual
C. hit a lamppost by accident
D. was caught by something
38.At the request stop that evening, the girl___________.
A. stopped a big lorry
B. stopped the wrong bus
C. made no attempt to stop the bus
D. was not noticed by other people
39.What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?
A. Other vehicles also stopped there.
B. It was unreliable for making judgments.
C. More lorries than buses responded to the girl.
D. It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.
40.Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping__________.
A. to find people there
B. to find more buses there
C. to find the bus by herself there
D. to find people more helpful there
2012年广东省高考英语听说考试真题 A Part A Reading Aloud Natural medicines, made from flowers, seeds, roots and leaves. The Chinese were the first to discover the power of plants, making medicine for 4000 years. Focus on prevention rather than cure. Popular today in the east and the west. Healthy for mind, body and soul. Past and present, tribal people always made the most of nature. Explorers and botanists made them available to the rest of the world. Western and traditional medicine unite, returning to more natural cures. Copy their chemicals or use them direct. When they fail, we go back to nature for the next magic cure. (98 words) Part B Role Play When you hear a beep, begin to ask the question. 1.你和你的室友相处得如何？ Question:How do you get along with your roommates? Answer：Not very well. My roommates never clean the dormitory. They leave dirty clothes and socks everywhere. Sometimes I find someone’s dirty socks and jeans on my bed. I really can’t bear it any longer. 2.为什么你不直接与他们谈一谈？ Question:Why don’t you have a talk directly with them? Answer：My teacher also advises me to do so, but I just don’t know how t o say it to them. I feel it’s too direct to tell them they shouldn’t behave that way. We Chinese people are always saying that “one should save face for others.” What’s more, sometimes they help me with my study. I’m very grateful to them. 3.你的老师的建议是什么？ Question: What are your teacher’s suggestions? /What is your teacher’s advice? Answer：Well, he tells me to make a suggestion of taking turns to clean the dormitory. He says I should be the first one in turn, then maybe they will accept this idea. But if this does not

2012年高考英语全国卷1完形填空翻译和精析2012年高考英语全国卷1完形填空为读者解释了肢体语言的重要性。这个经常被人们忽视却占据了人们表意的50%的强大语言会在不同文化之间交流时，给人们带来极大的帮助。提醒读者，在生活中要善于利用肢体语言，善于发现肢体语言的作用。 Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It speaks 36 than words. According to specialists, our bodies send out more 37 than we realize. In fact, non-verbal（非语言）communication takes up about 50% of what we really 38 . And body language is particularly 39 when we attempt to communicate across cultures. Indeed, what is called body language is so 40 a part of us that it's actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it. 41 , different societies treat the 42 between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having 43 contact(接触)even with friends, and certainly not with 44 . People from Latin American countries 45 touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it's possible that in 46 , it may look like a Latino is 47 a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving 48 . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep 49 - which the Latino will in return regard as 50 . Clearly, a great deal is going on when people 51 . And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from 52 cultures, there's a strong possibility of 53 . But whatever the situation, the best 54 is to obey the Golden Rule: treat others as you would like to be 55 . 2012年高考英语全国卷1完形填空翻译： 肢体语言是安静的，秘密的，也是所有语言中最强大的。它远远胜过说出的语言。专家指出，我们的身体发出的信息比我们所了解的更多。事实上，非语言交流占据了我们真正意思的50%。当我们试图跨文化交流时，肢体语言尤为重要。确实，所谓的肢体语言是我们如此大的一部分，而事实上它却经常被忽视。误解也就由此而来。例如，不同的社会对待人与人之间的距离就截然不同。北欧人通常不喜欢身体接触，即便是朋友，所以更不可能跟陌生人。另一方面，拉丁美洲的人身体接触却比较多。因此，在谈话中有可能时一个拉丁人跟着一个挪威人在房间里走动。为了表达友好的拉丁人会一直靠近。而挪威人有可能觉得这种行为非常粗鲁，所以他会一直后退，保持距离—拉丁人会认为这是一种冷漠。 诚然，当人们在交谈时很多事情都在发生。但是，只有很少一部分在语言本身当中。当交谈双方来自不同文化时，误解是极有可能发生的。但是，不管是什么样的情形，最好的建议是遵守这个黄金法则：像你希望被对待的那样对待别人。

2012年高考真题一 PART A Reading Aloud (模仿朗读) Natural medicines, made from flowers, seeds, roots and leaves. The Chinese were the first to discover the power of plants, making medicine for 4000 years. Focus on prevention rather than cure. Popular today in the east and the west. Healthy for mind, body and soul. Past and present, tribal people always made the most of nature. Explorers and botanists made them available to the rest of the world. Western and traditional medicine unite, returning to more natural cures. Copy their chemicals or use them direct. When they fail, we go back to nature for the next magic cure. PART B Role Play（角色扮演） 情景介绍 角色：你是Tom. 任务：（1）与Jane谈论她在学校宿舍的人际关系； （2）根据谈话内容回答同学的提问。 Tom: Good morning, Jane. How are you getting along? Jane: Morning Tom. The good news is that I passed my swimming test. Tom: Congratulations! I saw you swim in the pool every day. Jane: I really don′t have talent for swimming. Practice is my only way to pass the test. Tom: What′s the bad news then? Jane: The bad news is that I am living in the dormitory. Tom: Why did you move to dormitory? Jane: I want to save some time and transportation. It takes me 40 minutes from home to school every morning, and 50 minutes from school to home every afternoon because of the traffic jam. 三问部分 1.你和你的室友相处得如何？ 电脑回答：Not very well.

I really can′t bear it any longer. 2.为什么你不直接与他们谈一谈？ 电脑回答：My teacher also advises me to do so. But I just don′t know how to say it to them. I feel it too direct to tell them they shouldn′t behave that way, We Chinese people are always saying that one should save face for others. What′s more, sometimes they help me with my study. I′m very grateful to them. 3.你的老师的建议是什么？ 电脑回答：Well, he tells me to make a suggestion of taking turns to clean the dormitory. He says I should be the first one in turn. Then maybe they will accept this idea. But if this does not work out, he says I can have a heart-to-heart, friend-to-friend talk with them. Keys: 1. How are you getting along with your roommates? 2.
