【雅思博教育】2013年北京高考英语真题试卷解析2013年的北京市英语高考试题,严格体现了教育部考试中心出的考试大纲的要求。
试卷结构依然保持了新课改以来的试卷结构:听力由三部分组成,单选15道题,完形填空一篇,阅读分成两部分:前四篇的四选一和第五篇的七选五。
作文依旧是两篇:第一篇是情景作文,第二篇是开放作文。
一、听力部分2013北京英语高考卷听力填空考查了人名、地名及数字类的拼写,另外两个空分别是形容词与名词。
对比2012年北京英语高考卷听力的第三部分对人名、电话、月份与副词和非谓语动词的考查可见,听力填空近几年来一直偏向于人名、地名、数字类的考查,并搭配形容词,副词和动词的拼写。
总的来说,今年高考英语听力题目的特点就是两个字“直接”,也就是考生听到什么选什么就不会错,听力材料里几乎不会出现同义替换的情况,连一贯学生比较害怕的第三部分填词,也只出现了一些简单的词汇的考查。
例如17题的street,19题的large以及20题的cash。
如果按照往年至少也应该听写一些容易拼错的词汇,比如国籍,credit card这样的词。
二、单选部分2013北京英语高考卷的单项选择最突出的体现就是难度全面降低了。
15道单选题考查了3个非谓语动词(21题,24题,29题),4个时态语态(23题,25题,28题,32题),5个从句(22题,27题,30题,31题,33题),2个情态动词与虚拟语气(34题,35题),以及一个介词(26题)。
首先,非谓语动词今年考查的知识点比较基础。
例如21题考查了不定式表目的用法以及29题考查了感官动词的补语。
21. Volunteering gives you a chance lives, including your own.A. changeB. changingC. changedD. to change 答案是D29. When we saw the road with snow, we decided to spend the holiday at home.A. blockB. to blockC. blockingD. blocked 答案是D其次,时态语态方面今年着重于学生对重点时间标志或暗示的信息的基本把握,如23题中出现的over the past years, 以及28题中出现的Hurry up关键提示词。

24【答案】B【译文】发现这个课程比较难,她决定转到更低的难度级别。
【解析】题干中已有decided谓语动词,故A选项find动词谓语形式不能入选;D选线found是done的形式,表被动,也不对;C选项to find位于句首表目的,翻译成“为了”,意思不对,所以选B选项ing形式,表示伴随。
25【答案】B【译文】- 你认为妈妈和爸爸会晚吗?- 不会的,瑞士航空一般比较准时。
【解析】根据句意可以轻松选出will,此题属于简单题。
26【答案】C【译文】我预约了Smith大夫,但是我现在需要改变一下预约。
【解析】have an appointment with与某人预约。
27【答案】D【译文】许多国家现在都正在建造国家公园,动物和植物在里面可以得到保护。

28【答案】B【译文】快点!Mark和Carl在等我们呢。
【解析】本题有较强的语境,Hurry up体现出别人正在等你,所以选B。
其他选项均不恰当。

Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.·Focus on positivesAny training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. 52 , so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn't do.53 If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it's going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you're going to be talking about. 54 . As far as we're concerned, thereare basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.You are a special person not a clone.Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits.55 .

The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago. 71_ . In fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages. It was not until the 20th century that GreatBritain became the first urban society in history--- a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.Britain was only the beginning. 72_ .The process of urbanization--- the migration (迁移) of people from the countryside to the city--- was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live. In 1990, fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas. Today, over 82% of Americans live in cities. Only about 2% live on farms.73 .Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. Even in advanced agricultural societies. It took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities. _74 . Until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite(精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.Over the past two centuries, the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country. 75_ . Today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers.A. That kept cities very small.B. The rest live in small towns.C. The effects of urban living on people should be considered.D. Soon many other industrial nations become urban societies.E. But even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities.F. Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.G. Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.四、(2013辽宁卷)ForgivenessTo forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.________71_______ Try the following steps:Calm yourself. ________72_______ You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see thingsthe same way. ________73_______ Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you. Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about you hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your mounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. ________74_______ If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a let ter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.Don’t forget to forgive yourself. ________75_______ But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.A. Why should you forgive?B. How should you start to forgive?C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.D. Try to see things from you offender’s angle.E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.F. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.G..If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.答案一本文是一篇讨论商务和商务管理的说明文。

2013高考英语新课标全国卷单选题答案及解析本次单项选择考试特点:考点经典、语境定调。
考查重点:时态语态(2道);从句(状从、名从、定从各一);非谓语动词(3道);介词,冠词,情态动词以及副词题目各一道。
2013年的新课标卷延续了去年的风格,拿单选题目来说,题干不再有冗杂的文字,言简意赅,放弃了华而不实的题目设计,回归语言基础,同时在题目的设计中强调语法、语言的实用性。
如加入了对基本句式的考查和更多学生在生活中可以用到说到的对话及句子。
可以说无论在内容上还是在务实的角度上比起前几年都有了较大的突破和革新,且难度不小。
这一转变也许反而让考生们措手不及,毕竟学校练习的高频考点与本年度题目设计有一定的出入。
但从单选出题重点来分析,从句、时态、虚拟语气的考查比例都有所下降,甚至连虚拟语气都没考。
常规考点保留情态动词和介词,同时加入副词比较级的考查,再一次表明了考点务实、重视基础这一转变。
同学们今后在学习过程中也要打好基础,不可凭印象盲目做题。
遇到难题应冷静分析,句式类题目从句意和成分角度入手解题,词(动词、代词、介词等)类题目则从句意和该内容基本用法和功能上入手解题,如动词时态要清楚动作发生时间、顺序和主被动等。
另外今年新课标卷考试对考生翻译和对对话情景的理解和感悟要求不低,建议同学在平时训练是加强对这一点的训练。
21. —Why, this is nothing but commonvegetable soup!—______madam. It’s our soup of the day。
A. Let me seeB. So it isC. Don’tmention itD. Neither do I【考点】情景交际【答案】B【解析】本题考查语境感悟能力,A。
让我来看看B。
确实是C。
别提了D。
我也不虽然情景不易,但是四个选项明显风马牛不相及,其余三个放在句中对话都不通顺。
【句意】——怎么,这不就是普通蔬菜汤么?——就是啊,女士。
