necessary was wasted effort．One day，this approach threw me into embarrassmentIn Mrs．Totten's eighth﹣grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson，Indiana，we were learning to add and subtract decimals （小数）．Our teacher typically assigned daily homework，which would be recited in class the following day．On most days，our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions．Mrs．Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had apeared on our homework sheets．She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end．Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students，it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer．This particular time，I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations．What I failed to expect was that several students were absent，which threw off my estimate．As Mrs．Totten made her way from the beginning of the class，I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get．I tried to work it out before she got to me，but I had brain freeze and couldn't function．When Mrs．Totten reached my desk，she asked what answer I'd got for problem No.14．"I…I didn't get anything，"I answered，and my face felt warm．"Correct，"she said．It turned out that the correct answer was zero．What did I learn that day？First，always do all your homework．Second，in real life it isn't always what you say but how you say it that matters．Third，I would never make it as a mathematician．If I could choose one school day that taught me the most，it would be that one．61．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1indicate？A．It is wise to value one's time．B．It is important to make an effortC．It is right to stick to one's belief．D．It is enough to do the necessary．62．Usually，Mrs．Totten asked her students to．A．recite their homework togetherB．grade their homework themselvesC．answer their homework questions orallyD．check the answers to their homework questions63．The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always．A．asked questions in a regular wayB．walked up and down when asking questionsC．chose two or three questions for the studentsD．requested her students to finish their usual questions64．The author failed to get the questions he had expected because．A．the class didn't begin as usualB．several students didn't come to schoolC．he didn't try hard to make his estimateD．Mrs．Totten didn't start from the back of the class65，Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？A．An Unforgettable TeacherB．A Future MathematicianC．An Effective ApproachD．A Valuable Lesson．66．（10分）The behaviour of a building's users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use，according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre （UKERC）．The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions （排放）by 80percent by 2050，part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero ﹣carbon by 2016．But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own﹣though extremely important﹣is not enough to achieve such reductions：the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too．The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been largely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency （效率），which instead focus on architectural and technological developments．‘Technology is goi ng to assist but it is not going to do everything，'explains Katy Janda，a UKERC senior researcher，‘consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design．'In other words，old habits die hard，even in the best﹣designed eco﹣home．Another part of the problem is information．Households and bill﹣payers don't have the knowledge they need to change their energy﹣use habits．Without specific information，it's hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices．Feedback （反馈）facilities，like smart meters and energy monitors，could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use；some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15percent energy savings using smart meters．Social science research has added a further dimension （方面），suggesting that individuals'behaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted 一whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat （恒温器），for example．Janda argues that education is the key．She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them．66．As to energy use，the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of．A．zero﹣carbon homesB．the behaviour of building usersC．sustainable building designD．the reduction of carbon emissions67．The underlined word"which"in Paragraph 2refers to"．"A．the waysB．their homesC．developmentsD．existing efforts68．What are Katy Janda's words mainly about？A．The importance of changing building users，habits．B．The necessity of making a careful building design．C．The variety of consumption patterns of building users．D．The role of technology in improving energy efficiency．69．The information gap in energy use．A．can be bridged by feedback facilitiesB．affects the study on energy monitorsC．brings about problems for smart metersD．will be caused by building users'old habits70．What does the dimension added by social science research suggest？A．The social science research is to be furthered．B．The education programme is under discussion．C．The behaviour of building users is unpredictable．D．The behaviour preference of building users is similar．PartIVWriting（45marks）71．（20分）Directions：Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．Many of us invest valuable time，energy and money planning our vacations．We do this because we know for sure that going on vacations must be good for us．Research proves this feeling without a doubt．Vacations help us perform better at work，improve our sleep quality and cushion us against depression．Yet，despite these benefits，many of us return home with a feeling that our lastvacation was OK﹣but not great．In order to change this，some mistakes should be avoided．A classic one for vacation planners is attempting to maximize value for money by planning trips that have too many components （组成部分）•Perhaps you're planning a trip to Europe，seven cities in 10days，and you realize it will cost only a little more to add two more destinations to the list Sounds fine in theory，but hopping from one place to the next hardly gives an opportunity to experience what psychologists call mindfulness﹣time to take in our new surroundings，time to be present and absorb our travel experiences．Another mistake is that we worry too much about strategic issues such as how to find a good flight deal，how to get from A to B，or which destinations to add or subtract from our journey．These issues may seem important，but our psychological state of mind is far more important．Actually，vacation happiness is based on the following top rules．First，choose your travel companions wisely，because nothing contributes more significantly to a trip than the right companions．Second，don't spend your vacation time in a place where everything is too expensive so as to maintain a positive mood．Third，shop wisely，for meaningful experiences provide more long﹣term happiness than physical possessions．71．72．73．74．75．76．77．78．79．80．．81．（10分）Directions：Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to theinformation given in the passage．Kids and PondsYears ago there was a group of kids who would hang around at some local ponds in the woods near their houses in Warwick，Rhode Island．In summer they caught frogs and fish．When winter arrived they couldn't wait to go skating．Time passed，and the ponds became the only open space for the kids to enjoy themselves in that neighborhood．One day．a thirteen﹣year﹣old boy from this group of kids read in the local newspaper that a developer wanted to fill in the ponds and build over a hundred small houses called condominiums．So the boy went door to door and gathered more than two hundred signatures （签名）to stop the development A group of citizens met and decided to support him．At the meeting of the town planning board （委员会），the boy was quite nervous at first and spoke very softly．But when he saw the faces of his friends and neighbors in the crowd and thought about what was happening to their favorite ponds，his voice grew louder．He told the town officials that they should speak for the citizens．He also insisted that they should leave enough space for children．A few days later，the developer stopped his plan．Nine years later，when that teen was a senior in college，he was informed that the developer was back with his proposal to build condominiums．Now twenty﹣twoyears old，he was studying wetlands ecology．He again appeared before the town planning board．This time as an expert witness，he used environmental protection laws to explain restrictions on development in and around wetlands and the knowledge of wetlands ecology to help improve the development．Finally some condominiums were built，but less than half the number the developer wanted．The ponds where those kids used to hang around were protected by a strip of natural land，and are still there today．81．What did the kids like to do at the local ponds in

高中英语真题:专题限时训练(二十八) [故事型阅读理解](限时：25分钟)(一)With the tears streaming down her face, she put her two hands to her lips, and kissed them to him; then clasped(紧握) them on her breast，as if she laid his ruined head there.“You are not the jailer's daughter？”She sighed, “No.”“Who are you？”Not yet trusting the tones of her voice, she sat down on the ben ch beside him.He drew back but she laid her hand upon his arm .A strange thrill struck him when she did so, and visibly passed over his frame; he laid the knife down softly，as he sat staring at her.Her golden hair，which she wore in long curls，had been hurriedly pushed aside，and fell down over her neck.Advancing his hand by little and littl e，he took it up and looked at it.In the middle of the action he wentastray，and，with another deep sigh，fell to work at his shoemaking.But not for long.Releasing his arm，she laid her hand upon his shoulder.After looking doubtfully at it ，two or three times，as if to be sure that it was really there，he laid down his work，put his hand to his neck，and took off a blackened string with a scrap of folded rag attach ed to it.He opened this，carefully，on his knee，and it contained a very little quantity of hair：not more than one or two long golden hairs，which he had，in some old day，wound on upon his finger.He took her hair into his hand again，and looked closely at it.“It is the same.How can it be! When was it! How was it！”As the concentrating expression returned to his forehead，he seemed to become conscious that it was in hers too.He turn ed her full to the light，and looked at her.“She had laid her head upon my shoulder，that night when I was summoned(传唤)out—she had a fear of my going，though I had none—and when I was brought to the North Tower they found these up on my sleeve.‘You will leave me them? They can never help meto escape in the body，though they may in the spirit.’ Those were the words I said.I re member them very well.”He formed this speech with his lips many times before he could utter it.But when he did find spoken words for it，they came to him coherently(连贯地)，though slowly.“How was this? Was it you？”1．The underlined word“it”in the passage refers to“________”．A．her hair B．her handC．his arm D．his shoulder2．The passage is most probably taken from________.A．a chant B．a dramaC．a novel D．an essay3．From the passage，we can infer that________.A．the lady was the jailer's friendB．the man lived a peaceful lifeC．they hadn't seen each other for yearsD．they made a happy conversation4．The old man took the lady's hair into his hand again becaus e________.A．the hair reminded him of his daughterB．he found the hair of high qualityC．the lady had almost the same hair as he didD．the lady's hair worried him so much5．The writer attracts the readers by________.A．describing the changes of the relationshipB．giving a vivid description of detailsC．using funny and humorous languageD．presenting unpredictable consequence(二)A man sat at a metro station in Washington D．C. and started t o play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on th eir way to work.Three minutes went by, and a middleaged man noticed there w as musician playing. He slowed his pace, and stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet his schedule.A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the money box without stopping, and contin ued to walk.A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen t o him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.The one who paid the most attention was a 3yearold boy. His m other tagged him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at t he violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child conti nued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repe ated by several other children. All the parents, without exceptio n, forced them to move on.In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped a nd stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected 32$. When he finished p laying and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applaud ed, nor was there any recognition.No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, on a violin worth 3.5 milli on dollars.Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold ou t at a theatre in where the seats averaged 100$.This is a real story. Joshua Bell's playing in the metro station w as organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experi ment.The outlines were in a common environment at an inappropriat e hour. Do we enjoy beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected situation?One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?6．Few people stopped to listen to Joshua Bell playing becaus e________.A．people were in a hurryB．they were not interested in musicC．it was too cold in the subwayD．the performance was not good enough7．When children stopped to look at the violinist, their parents _ _______.A．would give him some moneyB．would stop to enjoy the musicC．would applaud for the performanceD．would urge them to continue walking8．Joshua Bell played in the metro station in order to ________. A．make more moneyB．practise his skills in playing musicC．made an advertisement for his concertD．find out people's reaction under such a circumstance 9．The purpose of the passage is to ________.A．set us to think about our lifeB．show us how to play musicC．tell us the importance of musicD．report a subway performance(三)My father was 44 and knew he wasn't going to make it to 45. H e wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help m e for the rest of my life.Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter, some of his wor ds have lived in my heart. One part always stands out.“Right no w, you are pretending to be a time killer. But I know that one da y, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.”Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself.“You will do something great.”He didn't kno w what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life w hen I've felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask，“Is this what you were talking about, Dad? Should I keep going ？”A long way from 12 now, I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress. Lately, though, I've come to believe h e'd want me to move on to what comes next: to be proud of and believe in somebody else. It's time to start writing my own letter s to my children. Our children look to us with the same unansw ered question we had. Our kids don't hold back because they're afraid to fail. They're only afraid of failing us. They don't worry about being disappointed. Their fear—as mine was until my father's letter—is of being a disappointment.Give your children permission to succeed. They're waiting for y ou to believe in them. I always knew my parents loved me. But t rust me. That belief will be more complete, that love will be mor e real, and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write t he words on their hearts，“Don't worry; you'll do something g reat.”Not having that blessin g from their parents may be the only thing holding them back. 10．We learn from the text that the author________.A．lost his father when he was youngB．worked hard before he read his father's letterC．asked his father permission to believe in himselfD．knew exactly what great thing his father wanted him to do 11．What does the author tell us in the 3rd paragraph?A．Children need their parents' letters.B．Children are afraid to be disappointed.C．His children's fear of failure held them back.D．His father's letter removed his fear of failing his parents. 12．Which of the following is TRUE of the author?A．He got no access to success.B．He wrote back to his father at 12.C．He was sure his parents loved him.D．He once asked his father about the letter.13．The main purpose of the text is to ________.A．describe children's thinkingB．answer some questions children haveC．stress the importance of communicationD．advise parents to encourage their children专题限时训练(二十八) [故事型阅读理解](限时：25分钟)(一)With the tears streaming down her face, she put her two hands to her lips, and kissed them to hi m; then clasped(紧握) them on her breast，as if she laid his ruined head there.“You are not the jailer's daughter？”She sighed, “No.”“Who are you？”Not yet trusting the tones of her voice, she sat down on the bench beside him.He drew back but she laid her hand upon his arm.A strange thrill struck him when she did so, and visibly passed over his frame; he laid the knife down softly，as he sat staring at her.Her golden hair，which she wore in long curls，had been hurriedly pushed aside，and fell down over her neck.Advancing his hand by little and little，he took it up and looked at it.In the middle of the action he went astray，and，with another deep sigh，fell to work at his shoemaking.But not for long.Releasing his arm，she laid her hand upon his shoulder.After looking doubtfully at it，two or three times，as if to be sure that it was really there，he laid down his work，put his hand to his neck，and took off a blackened string with a scrap of folded rag attached to it.He opened this，carefully，on his knee，and it contained a very little quantity of hair：not more than one or two long golden hairs，which he had，in some old day，wound on upon his finger.He took her hair into his hand again，and looked closely at it.“It is the same.How can it be!

阅读理解（建议用时：25分钟）A体裁说明文话题手机对人体的影响词数370 Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication—having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning(扫描)equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn’t remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer’s doctor didn’t agree.What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it’s best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it’s wise not to use your mobile phone too often.1. People buy cell phones for the following reasons except that .A. they’re popularB. they’re convenientC. they’re usefulD. they’re cheap2. The under lined word“detected”in Paragraph 3 could be best replaced by.A. discoveredB. removedC. curedD. caused3. The salesman retired young because .A. he disliked using mobile phonesB. he couldn’t remember simple task sC. he was tired of talking on his mobile phoneD. his employer’s doctor persuaded him to4. On the safety issue of mobile phones, the manufacturing companies .A. deny the existence of mobile phone radiationB. develop new technology to reduce mobile phone radiationC. hold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry aboutD. try to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to health5. The writer’s purpose of writing this article is to advise people.A. to buy mobile phonesB. to use mobile phones less oftenC. to update regular phonesD. to stop using mobile phonesB体裁记叙文话题温情传递词数273(2013·衡阳模拟)I received a call today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate“Yes! ”. As I planned the meal in my head, I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way oftrying to ease our pain.Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two-year-old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter.Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people talking about their favourite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I want to prepare and deliver to someone in need.6. The author has given lots of food to others because .A. she is poor at cookingB. she is a church memberC. she is friendly to othersD. she has received others’food7. We can learn from the first paragraph that the author .A. had to stay in bed for several weeksB. knew the family in need very wellC. was glad to be able to lend a handD. was tired of preparing food8. Which of the following is TRUE about the author?A. Her mother died when she was in hospital.B. She didn’t get enough food during her pregnancy.C. She received food as well as comfort in her hard times.D. She thinks offering food is the best way to show love.9. What do we know about the author’s family?A. Her family is too poor to buy enough food.B. Her family lives not far from a church.C. Her husband is not good at cooking.D. She has a babysitter taking care of her twins.10. According to the passage, which of the following conclusions can we get?A. A good beginning makes a good ending.B. One good turn deserves another.C. Actions speak louder than words.D. Every man has his faults.C体裁记叙文话题收集垃圾词数359 We buy things, use them, then throw away the packaging, largely unaware that most of our trash ends up in landfills where it can sit for decades, polluting the soil and ecosystems around it. Reducing the amount of garbage we produce in the first place is one of the best ways to save the planet.From Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2012, I saved every piece of my garbage. No, I’m not homeless, and I didn’t lose my mind. Keeping all my trash meant literally living with the impact of my daily decisions, which led me to make dramatic changes in my lifestyle.I should clarify that I saved all my nonbiodegradable(不能生物降解的)trash—things like glass, foam, and plastics, which don’t rot naturally. I set aside banana peels, coffee grounds, eggshells, and other biodegradable waste for composting(制成堆肥). Just as I washed my dishes, I scrubbed my soda cans, potato chip bags, and juice bottles with soap and water and hung them on my dish rack to dry. “Doesn’t your trash stink? ”people often asked. As long as I washed and dried everything, it didn’t smell.I believe that“waste”is actually a resource that can be used rather than discarded. Saving my tra sh allowed me to recycle or“repurpose”it. Rather than throw out my plastic bags, I’ll put them into plastic bottles that can be sued as“bricks”to build bus stops, benches, and even houses. This spring, I was part of a group of students at the University of California, Davis, who used plastic bricks to create a bench for the campus.Though I won’t be saving all my trash again this year, my experience has permanently changed my consumption habits. Every time I go to the grocery store, I bring reusable bags. And I avoid consuming drinks from glass bottles. In short, I’ll never again be able to buy anything without pausing to ask myself: Is this really something I need? Is there a way to get it that involvesless waste? I also hope that all people will see“waste”as just a resource in the wrong place.11. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 3?A. How he cleaned his trash.B.

2014年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（湖南卷）英语答案解析Part ⅠListening ComprehensionSection A第一节1.【答案】A2.【答案】B3.【答案】A4.【答案】C5.【答案】C6.【答案】A7.【答案】A8.【答案】C9.【答案】C10.【答案】B11.【答案】B12.【答案】C13.【答案】A14.【答案】B15.【答案】BSection B16.【答案】change17.【答案】meeting18.【答案】light19.【答案】gift shop20.【答案】the packagePart ⅡLanguage KnowledgeSection A21.【答案】D【解析】句意为：只有在父母的陪同下孩子们才能进人体育场。

主语“Children”和accompany之间是逻辑上的被动关系，故用过去分词形式。

此处也可看作是状语从句的省略，补充完整为：when children are accompanied。

故D项正确。

【知识拓展】状语从句的省略，即当主从句的主语一致，且从句中含有系动词be的时候，从句中的系动词和主语可以省略。

【考点】非谓语动词22.【答案】B【解析】句意为：如果Dewey先生当时在场的话，他会给那里的人提供任何可能的帮助。

根据主句中的“he would have offered”可知，逗号前是对过去情况的虚拟，故从句应用过去完成时。

故B项正确。

【考点】虚拟语气23.【答案】A【解析】句意为：了解你自己的内心需要和交流的方式与学会表达自己的感情和情感一样重要。

分析句子成分可知，句中的“your own needs and styles of communication”是主语，且谓语动词“is”为单数形式，应用动名词短语作主语；understand与句子主语之间是主动关系，所以应用主动语态。

故A项正确。

B项为不定式的被动式，不符合语境。

【考点】非谓语动词24【答案】C【解析】句意为：正如John Lennon曾经说过的那样，当我们正在为生活疲于奔波时，生活已离我们远去。
