【英语】高考英语阅读理解试题(有答案和解析)及解析一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解Plastic sludge(污泥)and garbage is a disaster for the world's oceans. A film crew traveled the globe to document the rubbish. And Julie Andersen of the Plastic Oceans Foundation says what we see is just the ti p of the problem. “Half of the waste actually sinks to the bottom, and that remains on the surface actually breaks down. ”The filmmakers found rubbish in ocean gyres, the circulating currents that trap large concentrations of pollution in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacifc Oceans, home of what some have plastic. What we found was a plastic smog that spread throughout all the water. And in some parts of the oceans, scientists have found more plastic than plant. ”The pieces of the plastic garbage infect the food chain, sometimes visibly, and more so at the microscopic level, where the plastic particles interact with other pollutants. “There are heavy metals, medicines, industrial waste in the sea, while it acts like magnets(磁铁). These poisonous substances absorb on the plastic, and then when seafood absorbs the plastics, those poisonous substances enter the fatty tissues. ”To be consumed by other sea life and by people at last. China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam are the worst plastic polluters. The United States, although a leader in recycling, is one of the world's 20 since it produces and consumes so much plastic. There are efforts around the world to address the problem, including at this newly opened recycling center in Lebanon(黎巴嫩). But Andersen says there is more that people can do. “Cut back on single-use plastics, straws, plastic cups, plastic water bottles, plastic bags and find alternatives like reusable materials.” She says healthy oceans are essential to our survival.（1）What can we learn from the passage?A.

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.Sometimes it may not be so easy to know 8 what is right or wrong.

2011年广东省高考英语试卷相比去年试题总体难度稳中略升，但同时避免了一些偏词怪词和生僻词汇的出现，整体安排基本符合高考主流，考生易于把握考试节奏。

今年听说考试改革，使本次高考更好地考查了考生的四项基本能力，尤其是听、读、写的能力。

【完形填空】本文是一篇议论文。

文章就有天赋的学生是不是应该进特殊班的问题进行了讨论，主题是学校按学生的智力差异分班的方法是错误的，即将智力好的学生分在一个班里会抑制他们的智力发育。

本次完形没有哪道题可以脱离上下文理解和分析来进行解答的，这样也强化了该题型考查的着重点到底在哪里，对于通篇文章理解和把握的重要性。

如，第1题答案“C. arguments ”根据前一句中的argue 可知;第3题考形容词辨析，“average：一般的，平均的”根据前文的regular classes可知此处选D;第11题考查名词辨析，“concern：关心”根据前一句中的concerned可知此处选A;第14题考查动词辨析，D选项feel，根据前一句中的feel bored可知。

其余选项不符合题意。

【语法填空】2011年语法填空就知识点的分布来看，跟10年的考题几乎在同一水平线上。

一如既往，2007-2010年广东地区真题和模拟题中，有提示空格比例为30-40%，都是对动词、形容词、副词的考察为重点，偶见名词的考点。

今年依然没有逃出这个惯例，考点分布均匀，但是空格的难度不大。

这要求考生对细节的把握要更准确，在学习过程中更需要综合地把握好每个小的知识点。

考点同比2010年考题，相似度惊人。

如，有提示词部分，词性转换，同是形容词变副词(10年：warm—>warmly; 11年：mental—>mentally);非谓语动词(10年：say—>saying; 11年sit—>sitting);比较等级(10年：sweet —>sweeter; 11年late—>later)等。

广东省2011年高考卷各科试题解析:数学难度增加未超纲新快报记者陈红艳通讯员粤考宣广东省教育考试院昨日通报：2011年广东高考各科目评卷工作基本结束。

同去年相比，今年考生的总分有所降低。

其中，今年作文优秀答卷增多。

各科试卷难度有升有降，语文科试卷难度有所降低，文科综合科试卷难度基本持平，英语、数学、理科综合等三个科目的试卷难度有所提高。

从考生的分数分布情况看，今年高考试题区分度有所提高，符合选拔性考试的要求，有利于各类别、各层次高校选拔人才。

不过，答卷中也反映出部分考生基础知识不扎实，运用基础知识分析问题、解决实际问题的能力相对薄弱，应引起中学注意。

语文近九成考生作文写议论文(点评人：语文评卷组组长、华南师范大学文学院院长陈少华)今年高考语文广东卷，坚持考查基础知识与基本能力。

考点都在考试大纲的范围之内，题型稳定，没有偏题、怪题。

试题难度整体有所下降，平均分比去年有所提高。

其中，作文题《回到原点》用导语加标题的模式已比较成熟，对于考生思考、立意的建构有推动作用，有利于考生进行创意写作。

“回到原点”审题没有难度，但写起来有一定难度：一是考生对此关注较少，普遍感觉不熟悉；二是不容易套作，事先准备的材料不容易现成套用。

它要求考生要有相应的独立思考，需要真情实感的表达与交流，需要发挥真实的写作能力。

因此，中学备考要避免猜题、押题。

从答卷的情况来看，今年作文优秀答卷增多，考生写作运用的素材贴近社会，贴近生活，写作材料陈旧的情况大有改观。

根据抽样调查，考生选择写作的文体大致情况是：议论文占86.7%，散文占8.6%，记叙文占4.7%。

考生在写作时语言运用基本规范，滥用网络语言的现象没有出现。

数学部分考生数学运算能力弱(点评人：数学评卷组组长、华南师范大学数学学院院长丁时进)总体上，今年文、理数学卷难度虽说与去年相比有所提高，但总体符合考试大纲要求，没有超纲现象，试题的背景合理、公平，贴近考生的生活实际，以能力立意，加大了对运算能力和思维能力的考察，符合选拔性考试的要求。

2011It has been argued by some that gifted children should be grouped in special classes. The 1 has been on the belief that in regular classes these children are held back in their intellectual (智力的) growth by 2 situation that has designed for the 3 children.There can be little doubt that 4 classes can help the gifted children to graduate earlier and take their place in life sooner. However, to take these 5 out of the regular classes may create serious problems.I observed a number of 6 children who were taken out of a special class and placed in a7 class. In the special class, they showed little ability to use their own judgment, relying8 on their teachers‟ directions. In the regular class, having no worry about keeping up, they began to reflect 9 on many problems, some of which were not on the school program.Many are concerned that gifted children become 10 and lose interest in learning. However this 11 is more often from parents and teachers than from students, and some of these 12 simply conclude that special classes should be set up for those who are 13 . Some top students do feel bored in class, but why they 14 so goes far beyond the work they have in school. Studies have shown that to be bored is to be anxious.

My friends walked me to the bus stop and waited with me 17 the bus arrived. I got on the bus and found a seat near the back, and then I noticed a man 18 (sit) at the front. He 19 (pretend) that a tiger toy was real and giving it a voice. He must be 20 (mental) disabled.Behind him were other people to 21 he was trying to talk, but after some minutes22 walked away and sat near me, looking annoyedI didn‟t want to be laughed at for talking to him but I didn‟t like leaving him 23 his own either.After a while I rose from my seat and walked to the front of the bus. I sat next to the man and introduced myself. We had 24 amazing conversation. He got off the bus before me and I felt very happy the rest of the way home.I‟m glad I made a choice. It made 25 of us feel good.AIn the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animal. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don‟t get to see this soft side of others often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we‟re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that‟s in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn‟t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don‟t feel that way. But those are few and far between(不多见). More often, it would be better if we don‟t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.26. The author has discovered that people will feel happy when ______.A. they offer their helpB. they receive others‟ helpC. they feel others‟ kindnessD. they show their weakness27. The author feels sad sometimes because ______.A. he has a soft heartB. he relies much on othersC. some people pretend to be kindD. some people fail to see the kindness in others28. What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?A. They speed up to pass.B. They waited with patience.C. They tried their best to help.D. They put on their flashlights too.29. In this passage, the author advises us to ______.A. handle problems by ourselvesB. accept help from othersC. admit our weaknessD. show our bravery30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A Wheelchair Experience.B. Weakness and Kindness.C. Weakness and StrengthD. A Driving ExperienceBCan dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasn‟t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. They are learning how to talk each other‟s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk …dog‟, and dogs can learn how to talk …Cat‟.What‟s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each other‟s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected. Once familiar with each other‟s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets ─to people who don‟t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.31. The underlined word swimmingly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.A. earlyB. sweetlyC. quicklyD. smoothly32. Some cats and dogs may fight when ______.A. they are cold to each otherB. they look away from each otherC. they misunderstood each other‟s signalsD. they are introduced at an early age33. What is found surprising about cats and dogs?A. They eat and sleep each other.B. They observe each other‟s behaviors.C. They learn to speak each other‟s language.D. They know something from each other‟s voices.34. It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ______.A. have common interestsB. are less different than was thoughtC. have a common body languageD. are less intelligent than was expected35. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A. We should learn to live in harmony.B. We should know more about animals.C. We should live in peace with animals.D. We should learn more body languages.CA year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published.I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute” someone might say, “are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. I‟m Mr. Davis.”Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I hadcut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.“All right then,” I said. “Okey, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forests of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, you‟ll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions. I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.36. The author took the job to teach writing because ______.A. he wanted to be expectedB. he had written some storiesC. he wanted to please his fatherD. he had dreamed of being a teacher37. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2?A. He would be aggressive in his first class.B. He was well-prepared for his first class.C. He got nervous upon the arrival of his first class.D. He waited long for the arrival of his first class.38. Before he started his class, the author asked the students to ______.A. write down their suggestions on the paper cardsB. cut maple leaves out of the construction paperC. cut some cards out of the construction paperD. write down their names on the paper cards39. What did the students do when the author started his class?A. They began to talk.B. They stayed silent.C. They raised their hands.D. They shouted to be heard.40. The author chose the composition topic probably because ______.A. he got disappointed with his first classB. he had prepared the topic before classC. he wanted to calm down the studentsD. he thought it was an easy topicDIn a world with limited land, water and other natural resources (资源), the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing and globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持续的) ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decades. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil (棕榈油)，which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set hightargets for reducing carbon emissions (排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development.

That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.41. The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that ______.A.

21. — We could invite John and Barbara to the Friday night party.—Yes, ? I’ll give them a call right now.A. why notB. what forC. whyD. what答案：A确立考点：考察交际用语。

-好啊，我现在就开始给他们打电话。

22. Try she might, Sue couldn’t get the door open.A. ifB. whenC. sinceD. as答案：D确立考点：考查状语从句。

试题分析：时态题目做题的关键在于把握动作或状态发生的时间。

本题要填入的是一个状态，为make no sense无意义，那么这个状态发生的时间是什么时候呢？题目的下半句话说，很多事情在明年都会发生变化，暗示没有意义这个状态是跟现在有关的，说明现在过早的做计划是没有意义的，因此选择表示现在状态的一般现在时。

句意为，过早的做计划是没有意义的，因为很多事情在明年都会发生变化。

24. I wasn’t sure if he was really interested or if he polite.A. was just beingB. will just beC. had just beenD. would just be答案：A确立考点：考察时态及连词用法。
