2014年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（广东卷）英语答案解析第Ⅰ卷Ⅰ语言知识及应用第一节完形填空1.【答案】D【解析】由not easy living with them (their parents)（孩子觉得与父母生活在一起不易）与difficult to live with teenagers(父母觉得与十几岁的孩子生活在一起很难)可知，孩子与父母有“相似的”感受。

2.【答案】B【解析】由前两句，可知父母之间有“矛盾”，再根据regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks(关于不整洁和日常事情)，对照各选项，只有argument(争吵)适合。

3.【答案】C【解析】由前句的untidiness和后面的clothes thrown on the floor可知，房间是messy(凌乱不堪的)。

4.【答案】B【解析】由上文提到的收拾房间之类的事，应是housework(家务活)。

5.【答案】C【解析】由后面的not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping可知，这里应是dropping the towel in the bathroom，一起为blame them的原因。

6 .【答案】A【解析】由下句的However, some approaches提示，可知这里是指“不同的父母对待这些问题有不同方法。

7.【答案】D【解析】从下面的例子可以看出，有的方法比别的方法更能“达到预期的目的(successful)”。

下文中的do better 也有提示作用。

2014广州一模参考答案完形填空：1. B 上下文理解型，由下文语境＄25可以得出答案。

2. A 常识型，由常识可知，新娘在商店登记礼物是为了告诉买礼物的人这些是她喜欢的礼物（一般我们买礼物给人家也是买人家可能喜欢的礼物）。

3. C 上下文理解型，由上下文可知，当你买礼物的时候，告诉店家你已买了已登记的商品，以因此新婚夫妇不会收到两次同样的礼物。

解题关键在于twice.4. B 同义复现型，与下一句的句子结构一样，并与appropriate是近义词，因此可以得出答案。

5. D 上下文理解型，由上文的important occasions及常识可以得出答案（一般重要场合都是比较正式的）。

6. A 上下文理解型，由下文the boy’s full name可知，是专门为这小男孩而做的笔。

personalize有一个意思“在（某物上）作物主标志（尤指表示物主的地址或姓名的首字母”在（物品）上标出姓名（记号）; 此题较为容易选Ｃ.design。

Design只是设计的意思，而无“专门为某而做”的意思。

It might have been nice to have more. I would have liked a son, but we just had Carmen.I see her as my best friend. I think she always comes to me first if she has a problem. We have the same sense of humour and share many interest, except that she’s crazy about animals, obsessed with them-she has always had dogs, cats, and horses in her life.We were closest when she was about four, which I think is a wonderful age for a child. That’s when they need their parents most. But as soon as Carmen went to school she seemed to gro w up and grow apart from her fami ly, and an y fat h er f i nds it difficult with a teenage daughter.She was ve ry moody and had an odd group of friends. There was an endless stream of s t range young men coming to our house. I remember once got annoyed with her in front of her friends and she didn’t talk to me for days.I’ve always wanted the best for her. We se nt her to a good school, but she wasn't happy there. She left because she wanted to become an actress, so with my connections I got her into a drama school, but she did n’t like tha t either. She worked for a while doing small roles in films, but she must have found it bo ri ng a lt hough she never really said why. She got married a few years ago, her husband’s a vet. They must be happy because they work together, and she loves animals.We have the same tastes in books and music. When she was younger, I used to take her to the opera-that’s my passion-but she can’t have liked it very much because she hasn’t come with me for years. I don’t think shegoes to the cinema or watches TV much. She might watch my films, but I don’t know. It’s not the kind of thing she talks to me about.I’m very pleased to have Carmen. She’s good daughter, but I don’t think she likes my new wife very much because she doesn’t visit us very often. I’m looking forward to being a grandfather one day. I hope she’ll havea son.51.Which is TRUE about the author a ccording to the passage?A.He is disappointed with his first wife.B.His daughter treats him as her best friend.C.He and Carmen don’t have much in commonD.He doesn’t seem to be an animal lover.52.What does the author think of getting along with his daughter?A.It’s easier for him to get along with her when she was 4.B.He couldn’t take care of her after she went to school.C.He tried very hard to get along well with her friends.D.He once got very angry because she didn’t talk to him.53.By saying “wanted the best for her”, the author means that______.A.he had done everything he could for CarmenB.he was sad when Carmen wasn’t happy at sch oolC.he never asked Carmen why she gave up dramaD.he was pleased that Carmen married her husband54.

In the 1970s, scientists at the University of California-Los Angeles asked 7,000 people about their health habits. Then they followed these people to see how long they lived.The scientists discovered that seven habits were closely linked with a longer life.▲Eating breakfast every day.▲Avoiding eating snacks between meals.▲Keeping a good weight----not too heavy or too thin.▲Exercising regularly.▲Sleeping seven or eight hours every night----not more or less.▲Do not smoke.▲Drink fewer alcoholic drinks.The researchers found that these habits had a powerful effect on health. People in this study who had three or fewer of these habits lived another 21.6 years. People who had six or seven could expect to live another 33 years!But how do you change your habits? Make one small change every week. And be patient. It takes about 21 days to form a new habit.( ) 56.

"Sorry to interrupt the program. Here's an important notice from the police. At about 9 p.m., a lady was robbed and killed by a man in brown. If you know anything about the man, please call the police. Thank you." The terrible news made Jolie frightened. She couldn't help looking around, but didn't see anyone in her kitchen or on the balcony. But all of a sudden, a man appeared and stood in front of her. Hewas wearing brown! Jolie didn't know what to do!"Calm down, young lady. Put your jewelry and cash on the table," said the robber. "I'll stay up here for the night. If you dare to call the police, you are just asking for trouble."That made Jolie even more frightened, but she tried to calm herself. Just then came the sound of a police car. In a little while, someone rang the doorbell. The robber said, with a gun pointed against Jolie's back, "Open the door and say that you have gone to bed. Do not let anyone in."But Jolie had an idea. She opened the door."Good evening, Miss Ray. I'm Sergeant Collins. Is there anything unusual here?""No," she said loudly, "only my brother and I are in the room.""OK. Good night," Collins replied.A few minutes later, the police car went away."Good," the robber said with a smile. Just at this moment, some policemen broke the window and hurried into the room from the balcony. They quickly caught the robber."You really did a good job, Miss Ray. When you said that your brother was in the room, I knew there was something unusual," said Sergeant Collins, "because we knew that your brother had been killed in a robbery half a year ago."( ) 61.

From the story we know that Jolie Ray is a(n) _______ lady.A. brave and smartB. careful and kindC. honest and confidentD. friendly and helpfulCSince the beginning of history, man has been fascinated by the idea of living forever, of winning the fight against death and disease. So far, this has only remained a dream, though a very powerful one. Many people have wondered whether it would be possible to find a way to preserve human bodies, and what would be the best way to preserve human bodies.It has long been known that meat of fruit can be kept fresh for long periods by freezing; in ancient China, for example, food was stored with ice to keep it fresh. This method could also be useful for preserving humans and in fact many people have explored this possibility.However, most living beings that exist under warm conditions die when frozen. This is because of the harmful effects of freezing ice crystals, which are not only larger than the volumeof the water originally in the cells, but also form sharp cutting shapes that harm the cells.In the 1940s Dr B.J. Luyet and a group of scientists in England were working on the problem of freezing cells without damaging them. Since the harm caused by ice crystals was the main cause of damage, Luyet suggested removing some or all of the water fromthe cells before freezing them.Using living cells from chicken, Luyet and his assistants discovered that they could partly dry the chicken cells, using a mixture of the white part of an egg and glycerin, a clear thick liquid made chiefly from fats and oils. Some success was obtained. The chicken cells were dried, frozen for a period of time, and then carefully unfrozen. Almost all the cells recovered when they reached normal temperatures. Since then, the cooling of whole animals to a temperature very much below freezing point for later unfreezing has become more of a possibility, and the glycerin method would probably be used to accomplish this. When this can be done completely and successfully, science willhave moved much closer to its aim of freezing and storing incurable patients until the daythey can be cured.( ) 66. It seems that the idea of preserving human bodies_______ .A. is importantB. comes from that of storing meat and fruit fresh by freezingC. is quite funD. doesn't make any sense( ) 67. From the fact that most living things existing under warn conditions die whenfrozen, the scientist realize that_______ .A. living things cannot be frozen actuallyB. it is impossible for them to freeze human beingsC. the water from the living cells should be removedD. cells cannot recover when they are carefully unfrozen( ) 68. Glycerin can be used_______ .A. to remove water from living cellsB. to unfreeze living cellsC. to freeze living cellsD. to change the shape of crystals( ) 69. What is the passage mainly about?A. The harmful effects of freezing food.B. How to preserve food.C. How to remove water from living cells.D. The exploration of preserving human bodies.( ) 70. What is the most probable meaning of the underlined word "fascinated"?A. attractedB. freedC. afraidD. sadDYou probably know you should say "please" and "thank you" at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, whenyou play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can't hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. Not one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears. So even if you are alone when listening to our MP3 player, you shouldn't have it turned up too high.Take Them off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 player off and put it away.Libraries and schools don't allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don't have rules, but is would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it doesn't make sense to listen your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? Youwould miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.Take One Out! Once is a while it's okay just to take out one earphone and not other.Imagine you are listening your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it's not for you.It's Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people canlisten to music on their MP3 Players when reading books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.( ) 71. The underlined word "volume" in Paragraph Two probably means_______ .A. the type of musicB. the amount of a soundC. the length of a songD. the color of and MP3 player( ) 72. No one wants to listen to from others' MP3 player_______.A. a loud soundB. sad storiesC. a long movieD. the words of a song( ) 73. What will happen if we listen to our MP3 player at a play?A. The theater won't allow it.B. The actors will get angry.C. Others won't hear the play well.D. We will miss part of the play.( ) 74. Which of the followings will not be rude if we just take out one earphone?A. Shoeing others the way.B. Talking to friends on the phone.C. Watching a sporting event.D.

I had never talked with a botanist before, and I found him very interesting. I sat there absorbed and listened while he spoke of unusual plants and his experiments (he even told me astonishing facts about the simple potato). I had a small indoor garden of my own -- and he was good enough to tell me how to solve some of my problems.As I said, we were at a dinner party. There must have been a dozen other guests, but I broke an important rule of politeness. I ignored everyone else and talked for hours to the botanist.Midnight came. I said good night to everyone and departed. The botanist then turned to our host and said many nice things about me, including that I was a “most interesting conversationalist ”.An interesting conversationalist? I had said hardly anything at all. I couldn't have said anything if I had wanted to without changing the subject, for I didn't know any more about plants than I knew about sharks. But I had done this one thing: I had listened carefully. I listened because I was really interested. And he felt it. Naturally that pleased him. That kind of listening is one of the best ways to show respect to others, and it makes them feel great too. “Few human beings," wrote Jack Woodford in Strangers in Love "can resist the sweet effect of rapt attention.” I went even further t han that. I was “sincere in my admiration and generous in my praise”.I told him that I had been hugely entertained and instructed. I told him I wished I had his knowledge. I told him that I should love to wander the fields with him. What's more, it was all true.And so I had him thinking of me as a good conversationalist when, in reality, I had only beena good listener and had encouraged him to talk.26. From Paragraph l, we can learn that the writer_________A. was deeply moved by the botanist's talkB. was amazed by what he was hearingC. was not in a comfortable situationD. behaved politely and properly27. Which of the following does the writer describe as a rule of politeness at dinner parties?A. Avoiding discussions about politics and religion.B. Listening carefully to what another guest says.C. Arriving and leaving at the appropriate time.D. Giving attention to all those in attendance.28. The underlined expression "rapt attention" in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaningto__________A. full understandingB. strong interestC. great uncertaintyD. little curiosity29. According to the writer, which of the following is an important characteristic of a good conversationalist?A. Listening attentively and encouraging the other side to continue.B. Encouraging the other side by sharing his/her own opinions.C. Promising a future meeting for more communication.D. Expressing respect by nodding his/her head.30. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To prove the writer is an interesting conversationalist.B. To share an interesting experience at a dinner party.C. To explain what makes a good conversationalist.D. To show that botanists can be really talkative.BA British dog-lover has invented a high-tech way of feeding his pet by Twitter(推特，流行社交网络)．Computer expert Nat Morris, 30, has designed a system to give his pet a "tweet treat" by sending him a Twitter message.His dog Toby: gets some delicious dog biscuits from a computer-controlled food machine whenever Nat sends a message to “@ feedtoby “.Nat often works away from home and isn't always able to feed Toby by hand. But his new invention allows Nat to feed his dog from anywhere in the world.Nat said, "Toby absolutely loves it. At first he didn't know what was going on. Now he sits underneath the machine, wagging his tail and waiting for the food to drop. "Nat fills the food machine with small pieces of dog biscuits, but not too many in case four-year-old Toby gets too many messages. And Nat has even equipped his house with an online camera so he can see Toby enjoying the food at his home.But one problem is that friends and family have been so amazed w ith the “tweet treat" machine that they have started sending tweets to Toby too. So Nat has had to restrict feeding time to make sure Toby doesn't turn into Tubby.“People have been sending him tweets at all hours of the day, so I had to limit it to betwe en 9 a. m. and 9 p. m. I'm thinking of doing an updated one which can measure his weight before he is fed, just to make sure he's not putting on too much puppy fat, “explained Nat.How Nat's Twitter Feeder works:When a message is sent to @ feedtoby, it is received by a mini-computer that is linked to the food machine.When the mini-computer receives the message, a bell rings and Toby comes running over and sits in front of the feeding machine. Next, the machine's motor pulls open a trap door which releases a serving of food.The doggy biscuits then drop into Toby's food bowl. Finally a digital camera takes a photo of him and sends it back to Nat on Twitter - so he knows Toby has been fed.31. Nat has invented a high-tech way to feed his dog because he________.A. wants his friends to feed TobyB. has very strong computing skillsC. is often too busy to feed his dogD. doesn't like to feed Toby by hand32. Why has Nat decided to limit the feeding machine's operating time?A. He doesn't want Toby to get too fat.B. He fears the machine will run out of food.C. He wants his friends to stop feeding Toby.D. He doesn't want Toby to be woken up at night.33. It can be learned from the passage that Toby_________A. sits beneath his feeder all day longB. is now used to being fed by machineC. doesn't know what happens to the feederD. no longer receives tweets from Nat's friends34. Which of the following shows the correct order of how the Twitter Feeder works?a. The bell goes off.b. A message is sent to @ feedtoby.c. The mini-computer gets the message.d. The digital camera takes a photo of Toby and sends it to Nat.e. The motor starts to work and opens the door to release dog food.A. a, b, c, e, d.B. b, c, e, a, d.C. b, c, a, e, d.D. c, b, a, d, e35. In which section of the newspaper would you most probably find this passage?A. Technology.B. Health.C. Environment.D. Style.CNo one knows why we dream, but some dreams might be connected to the mental processes that help us learn. In a recent study, scientists found a connection between dreams and better memory in people learning a new skill.So perhaps one way to learn something new is to practice, practice, practice -- and then sleep on it."I was very surprised by this finding,” said Robert Stickgold, a Harvard University scientist who led the study.In the study, 100 college students each spent an hour on a computer, trying to get through amaze (谜宫). The maze was difficult, and the study participants had to start from a different place each time they tried -- making it even more difficult.Then, for the first 90 minutes of a five-hour break, half of the participants were required to stay awake while half were asked to sleep. Participants who stayed awake were asked to describe their thoughts. Participants who slept were asked to describe any dream they had.Stickgold and his colleagues wanted to know about NREM, or non-REM sleep. REM stands for “rapid eye movement, “which is what happens during REM sleep. This period of sleep often brings strange dreams to a sleeper, although dreams can happen in both kinds of sleep. Stickgold wanted to know what people were dreaming about when their eyes weren't moving, during NREM sleep. Other studies have found a connection between NREM brain activity and learning ability.Four of the 50 people who slept said their dreams were about the maze. Later, when these four people tried the computer maze again, they were able to complete it faster.Stickgold believes the dream itself doesn't help a person learn -- it's the other way around. He suspects that such dreams are caused by the brain processes associated with learning.All the maze-dreamers had done the task poorly the first time, which makes Stickgold wonder if the NREM dreams show up when a person finds a new task particularly difficult. People who had other dreams, or people who didn't sleep, didn't show the same improvement.36. In the first stage of the study, the participants were asked to________A. design a maze on computerB. find their way out of a mazeC. decide where to begin a mazeD. remember a location in a maze37. What happened to the participants during the break?A. Half of them were woken up when they started to dream.B. Half of them were asked to dream about the maze.C. All of them were asked to describe their thoughts.D. Half of them were asked to sleep for 90 minutes.38. What can we learn from the passage?A. Everyone will dream about a new skill after learning it.B. Stickgold was the first to study dreams and learning.C. During NREM sleep, people usually don't dream.D. Unusual dreams often occur during REM sleep.39. According to the last paragraph, before sleeping the maze-dreamers________A. found it difficult to do the mazeB. were greatly interested in the mazeC. were mostly slow and poor thinkersD. completed the maze faster than others40. Which of the following statements best summarizes the study's conclusion?A. Dreams have a role in learning.B. Dreams have no basis in reality.C. Dreams are important for health.D. Dreams are the best way to study.DThe recent publication of autobiographies by two of Britain's greatest scientists, biologist Richard Dawkins and physicist Stephen Hawking is a wonderful opportunity to compare and contrast these two remarkable men. Surprisingly, they have rather more in common than we think.Most striking is the similarity in their backgrounds. They were born in the early 1940s to middle class families -- not wealthy but comfortably off, with a strong commitment to academic excellence and public service. Both families were keen to send their boys to Oxford University --and both succeeded, Dawkins studying zoology and Hawking physics.Neither man has a very positive view of his early university life. Hawking describes the attitude at Oxford in the 1950s and 1960s as very anti-work, "You were supposed to either be brilliant without effort or fail. Hard work was looked down upon by students and we all pretended that nothing was worth making an effort for. “He estimates that he studied for no more than an hour a day as an undergraduate student (本科生).Undergraduate life was somewhat more rewarding for Dawkins. Like Hawking, he wasn't particularly hard-working and never attended his lectures. But he found Oxford's system of weekly essay-based lessons with an academic tutor useful, "It was really only the tutorial system that educated me.”For both men, scientific life really got going as postgraduates after 1962. Dawkins, who remained at Oxford, describes brilliantly the academic competition among the postgraduate students, which he believed helped push him to develop the ideas that formed the basis of his most famous book, The Selfish Gene. This volume transformed scientific thinking aboutDarwinian evolution.Hawking, on the other hand, moved to Cambridge University after graduation, where his research into the universe would eventually make him the most famous physicist since Albert Einstein. He writes movingly about the disease which progressively crippled his entire body, leaving him unable to move and only able to communicate using a computer controlled by his eyes. Although communication is slow - he can write only 3 words a minute using the machine - his illness has not affected his mind or his research on space-time and the origins of the universe.Each book is recommended individually as a personal introduction to an important scientific thinker. Read together, they provide a superb background to the academic and social climate of postwar British research.41. Which of the following describes a similarity in Hawking's and Dawkins' backgrounds?A. They were both from wealthy families.B. They studied the same subject in university.C. They graduated from the same secondary school.D. They both came from families that valued good education.42. Why did Hawking study very little as an undergraduate student?A. He preferred doing his own research and experiments.B. Students considered it inappropriate to study too much.C. The materials discussed in lectures were very easy for him.D. He was more interested in making friends with his classmates.43. According to Dawkins, what helped him develop his most important ideas?A. His hard work as an undergraduate.B. The support he received from his family.C. The excellent tutors at Oxford University.D. The competition from other postgraduate students.44. What can we reasonably infer about the two scientists from the passage?A. Dawkins worked much harder than Hawking as an undergraduate.B. Hawking is more respected by the scientific community.C. They knew each other during their studies at Oxford.D. Hawking has experienced more physical difficulties.45. What is the function of the last paragraph?A. To state which book the writer prefers.B. To recommend the reviewed books to readers.C. To summarize the achievements of the two scientists.D. To suggest the order in which the books should be read.笫二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me $12. "Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. "Come into the off ice, Madam, "he said politely. "I'll check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd. "The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn't have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. "You look sunburnt, "he said to her. "Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?""Y es", she answered, shyly. "The beach (海滩) was lovely. And I can swim too!" "That's fine, "said Harry. "My little girl can't swim a bit yet.

Because they are fun, and a lot more besides. Following the rules...planning your next move...acting as a team member...these are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope－jumping and hide－and－seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dreams that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating(合作)．Many children's games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown－ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones. Which sharpens the hand－eye coordination(协调)needed in hunting.Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who got it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life. 51.
