One of ray wonderful memories is about a Christmas gift．Unlike other gifts, it came wi thout wrap（包装）．On September 11th, 1958, Mum gave birth to Richard．After she brought him home from hospital, she put him in my lap, saying, "I promised you a gift, and here it is．"What an honor !I turned four a month earlier and none of my friends had such a baby doll of their own．I pl ayed with it day and night．I sang to it．I told it stories．I told it over and over how much I l oved it!One morning, however, I found its bed empty．My doll was gone!I cried for it．Mum wept and told me that the poor little thing had been sent to a hospital．It had a fever．For several days, I heard Mum and Dad whispering such words as"hopeless", "pitiful", and"dying", whic h sounded ominous．Christmas was coming．"Don't expect any presents this year, "Dad said, pointing at the soc ks I hung in the living room．"If your baby brother lives, that'll be Christmas enough．"As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears．I'd never seen him cry before．The phone rang early on Christmas morning．Dad jumped out of bed to answer it．From my bedroom I heard him say, "What? He's all right? "He hung up and shouted upstairs．"The hospital said we can bring Richard home!""Thank God!"I heard Mum cry．From the upstairs window, I watched my parents rush out to the car．I had never seen the m so happy．And I was also full of joy．What a wonderful day!My baby doll would be home ．I ran downstairs．My socks still hung there flat．But I knew they were not empty; they w ere filled with love!（1）What happened to the author on September 11th 1958？________A He got a baby brother．B He got a Christmas gift．C He became four years old．D He received a doll．（2）What does the underlined word"ominous"in Paragraph 3probably mean？________A Impossible．B BoringC． D Fearful．（3）Which word can best describe the feeling of the father when Christmas was coming？________A Excitement．B Happiness．C Sadness．D Disappointment．（4）What is the passage mainly about？________A A sad Christmas day B． C A special Christmas gift． D Memories of a happy famil y．28. Top lists are lecturing people on everything from"100places to visit"to"100books to rea d"．Aren't you just tired of being told what to do with your time?Now you have a list to end all lists!Take a look at the following two examples from the list of"101things not to do":Swim with Dolphins（海豚）?Swimming with dolphins is one of the world's most profitable tourist activities．However, not every dolphin will welcome having their busy, tiring day interrupted by tourists screamin g and pushing around them in the water．Worse yet, when dolphins get too near to the boat s loaded with tourists, they could get caught up in ropes and killed by propellers（螺旋桨）． Here's a little secret．Dolphins look like smiling at you, but actually they're just opening th eir mouths．Go to See the Mona Lisa?There must be something about the mysterious（神秘的）smile．The 6million people who visit the lady in the Louvre every year can't all be wrong, aft er all．But they can be quite annoying, standing in front of you, holding up their cameras to prevent you from seeing anything．In fact, it is hard for you to see the painting clearly becau se you have to stay away from it for security reasons．After queuing for hours, many tourists can remain in front of the painting only for 15seconds at most．If the mysterious lady in the picture knew her fate, she wouldn't just be smiling, she'd be la ughing．So, still long to see the Mona Lisa? If you want to find out more about the list, read 101Ting s NOT to Do Before You Die．Visit www．not2dobeforeidie．co．uk and buy the book at a 2 0% discount．（1）According to the passage，swimming with dolphins________．A is the world's most popular tourist activity．B gives fun to both tourists and dolphins ．C will make tourists busy and tired．D can cause danger to dolphins．（2）what does the author think about going to see the Mona Lisa？________A It is wrong to go and see the mysterious smile．B It is not as satisfying as expected．C Fifteen seconds in front of the painting is enough．D Queuing for hours is worthw hile．（3）The list of"101things not to do"is made most probably because its author________．A thinks it boring to do the things suggested by other lists．B believes other lists are no t humorous enough．C intends to persuade people to read more lists．D wants to provide a list different from other lists．（4）What is the main purpose of the passage？________A To advertise a book ．B To introduce a website．C To comment on popular lists ．D To recommend tourist activities．29. There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit whisky（威士忌） at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle．When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 18 73she wrote in her diary, "I never saw a lovelier spot, "And she didn't even go fishing．Scotland is not easily defined．In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grass and mountains changes before your very eyes．When evening gently sweeps the hillside into ora nge light, the rivers, teeming with fish, can turn into streams of gold．As you settle down wit h just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy castle, any fr ustration（烦恼） will float away as gently as the circling water．It's just you and purple, pink, white flow ers, seeking a perfect harmony．If you are a new comer to fishing, learning the basics form a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime's fun．Four many, fishing is more than a sport; it is an art．Scotland offers interesting place where you can rest after a long day's fishing．Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland, the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below th e Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland's mountains．Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains, and reaching its 1342-metre top is a challenge．But it's not just what goes up that matters; what comes down is u nique．More than 900metres high, on the mountain's north face, lies an all-important source of pure water．Its name comes form the Gaelic language"usquebaugh"or" water of life"; And it is the single most important ingredient（原料） in Scotland's best know drink; whisky．（1）The story of Queen Victoria is to show that________．A the queen is rich in tour experience．B the Castle is a good place to go in Scotland．C tasting whisky is better than going fishing．D 1873is a special year for the queen．（2）How is Paragraph 2mainly developed？________A By giving descriptions．B By following time order．C By analyzing causes．D By making comparisons．（3）What is Ben Nevis special for？________A The Inverlochy Castle Hotel．B The beauty of its surroundings．C The water from the mountain． D The challenge up to its top．（4）What is the main purpose of the passage？________A To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists．B To show the attractions of Scotland to readers．C To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland．30. To take the apple as a forbidden fruit is the most unlikely strory the Christians（基督教徒）have ever cooked up．For them, the forbidden fruit from Eden is evil（邪恶的）．So when Columbus brought the tomato back from South America, a land mistakenly co nsidered to be Eden, everyone jumped to the obvious conclusion．Wrongly taken as the appl e of Eden, the tomato was shut out of the door of Europeans．What made it particularly terrifying was its similarity to the mandrake, a plant that was th ought to have come from Hell（地狱）．What earned the plant its awful reputation was its roots which looked like a dried-up human body occupied by evil spirits．Tough the tomato and the mandrake were quite diff erent except that both had bright red or yellow fruit, the general population considered them one and the same, too terrible to touch．Cautious Europeans long ignored the tomato, and until the early 1700s most of the Wester npeople continued to drag their feet．In the 1880s, the daughter of a well-known plant expert wrote that the most interesting part of an afternoon tea at her father's h ouse had been the"introduction of this wonderful new fruit--or is it a vegetable? "As late as the twentieth century some writers still classed tomatoes with mandrakes as an"evil fruit"．But in the end tomatoes carried the day．The hero of the tomato was an American named Robert Johnson, and when he was publicly going to eat the tomato in 1820, people journeyed for hundreds of miles to watch him drop dead．"What are you afraid of? "he shouted．"I'll s how you fools that these things are good to eat!"Then he bit into the tomato．Some people fa inted．But he survived and, according to a local story, set up a tomato-canning factory．（1）The tomato was shut out of the door of early Europeans mainly because________．A it made Christians evil．B it was the apple of Eden．C it came from a forbidden l and．D it was religiously unacceptable．（2）What can we infer the underlined part in Paragraph 3？________A The process of ignoring the tomato slowed down．B There was little progress in the study of the tomato． C The tomato was still refused in most western countries． D Most western people continued to get rid of the tomato．（3）What is the main reason for Robert Johnson to eat the tomato publicly？________A To make himself a hero．B To remove people's fear of the tomato．C To speed up the popularity of the tomato． D To persuade people to buy products from his factory．（4）What is the main purpose of the passage？________A To challenge people's fixed concept of the tomato．B To give an explanation to people 's dislike of the tomato．C To present the change of people's attitudes to the tomato．D To show the process of freeing the tomato from religious influence．31. In his 1930essay"Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren", John Keynes, a famous economist, wrote that human needs fall into two classes: absolute needs, which are indepen dent of what other have, and relative needs, which make us feel superior to our fellows．He t hought that although relative needs may indeed be insatiable （无止境的） this is not true of absolute needs．Keynes was surely correct that only a small part of total spending is decided by the desire f or superiority．He was greatly mistaken, however, in seeing this desire as the only source of insatiable demands．Decisions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality which can influence the demands alm ost all goods, including even basic goods like food．When a couple goes out for an anniversary dinner, for example, the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to the m．The goal is to share a special meal that stands out from other meals．There are no obvious limits to the escalation of demand for quality．For example, Porsche famous car producer, has a model which was considered perhaps the best sport car on the m arket．Priced at over $120, 000, it handles perfectly well and has great speed acceleration．But in 2000the producer introduced some changes which made the model slightly better in h andling acceleration．People who really care about cars find these small improvements excit ing．To them, however, they must pay almost four times the price．By placing the desire to be superior to other at the heart of his description of insatiable de mands, Keynes actually reduced such demands．However, the desire for higher quality has n atural limits．（1）According to the passage，John Keynes Believed that________．A desire is the root of both absolute and relative needs．B absolute needs come from our sense of superiority． C relative needs alone lead to insatiable demands． D abso lute needs are stronger than relative needs．（2）What do we know about the couple in Paragraph 3？________A They want to show their superiority．B They find specialty important to meals．C Their demands for food are not easily satisfied．D Their choice of dinner is related to ideas of quality．（3）What does the underlined word"escalation"in Paragraph 4probably mean？________A Understanding．B Increase．C DifferenceD．（4）The author of the passage that________．A absolute needs have no limits．B demands for quality are not insatiable．C hum an desires influence ideas of quality．D relative needs decide most of our spending．五、短文改错（共1小题；每小题10分，满分10分）以下标有题号的每一行均有一个错误，请找出，并按下列情况改正；32. 此行多一个词，把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉，在该行右边横线上写出该词，并也用斜线划掉．此行缺一个词，在缺词处加一个漏字符号（^），在该行右边横线上写出该加的词．此行错一个词，在错的词下划一横线，在该行右边横线上写出改正后的词．注意：请在答题卡上作答．Dear Grandpa，How are you those days？I have been missing you very （76）________much after I went to college a year ago．Whenever I think of （77）________the old days，I feel very happily．I still remember when I （78）________was child，you always held me in your arms and told me stories （79）________till I fall asleep．We often went to the fields to enjoy the pleasant （80）________view there．You told me the name of different plants and their （81）________ characteristics．Gradually，I became interesting in biology （82）________and chose to learn biology when I entered into the college．Now （83）________my friend Ann，together with me，are going to do field study （84）________and the findings will be use as materials for our research．Since （85）________we'll do the study in our hometown，I hope to see you by then．Yours，Daisy．六、书面表达（满分25分）33. 某国际网站提供个人闲置物品交换服务．现在，你打算通过该网站将自己的一件闲置物品与他人交换（exchange）．请你用英文在该网站上发帖，发布物品交换信息．内容应包括：•你将拿出什么物品进行交换•具体介绍该物品•你希望换回什么物品•请愿意交换的朋友给你留言注意：（1）词数100左右；（2）格式不限；（3）文中不得使用考生真实姓名和学校名称．2012年重庆市高考英语试卷答案1. 1．A2. 2．C3. 3．B4. 4．A5. 5．C6. 6．C 7．B 8．C7. 9．A 10．A 11．B8. 12．B 13．C 14．B9. 15．C 16．B 17．A10.

But the umbrella was not invented as a protection against rain. It was first used as a shade against the sun. Nobody knows who first invented it. But the umbrella was used in very ancient times. When it first appeared in Egypt, it was used only by the rich as a symbol of their power. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella. During the middle ages, however, the umbrella almost disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the 16th century and later in France and in England. Gradually, most European countries began to use the umbrella. During all this time, umbrellas have not changed much in style, but they do become much lighter.15.【答案】C16.【答案】B17.【答案】A【解析】原文：Text 9M：Hi Kathy, any plans for tonight?W：Not yet, Frank.

2012重庆全国统一高考英语卷（真题）【10】71. What is the main purpose of the passage ?A To challenge people’s fixed concept of the tomatoB To give an explanation to people’s dislike of the tomatoC To present the change of people’s attitudes to the tomatoD To show the process of freeing the tomato from religious influenceEIn his 1930 essay “Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren “, John Keynes, acconmist, ewrote that human needs fall into two classes: absolute needs ,which are indupe what other have , and relative needs ,which make us feel superior to our fellows He thought alough relative needs may indeed be insatible (无止境的) this isnottrue ofabsoluteKeynes wans surely correct that only a small part of total spending id decided by the super iority He was gretly mistaken ,however ,in seeting this desive as the only source of demandsDecisions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality which can influnce the den almost all goods, including even basic goods like food. When a couple goes out for an anm dinner,for example,the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them. The goal is to share a special meal that stands out from other meals.There are no obvious limits to the escalation of demand for quality.For example ,porsche famous car producer,has a model which was considered perhaps the best sport car on the markPriced at over $120,000,it handles perfectly well and has great speen acceleration.But in 200 the producer introduced some changes which made the model slightly better in handling acceleration.People who really care about cars find these small improvemenmts exciting.T o them,however,they must pay almost four times the price.By placing the desire to be superior to other at the heart of his description of nisation demands,Keynes actually reduced such demands.However,the desire for higher quality has natural limits.72.According to the passage,John Keynes Believed that_______.A.desire is the root of both absolute and relative needsB.absolute needs come from our sense of superiorityC.relative needs alone lead to insatiable demandsD.absolute needs are stronger than relative needs73.What do we know about the couble in Paragraph 3?A.They want to show their superiorityB.They find specialty important to mealsC.Their demands for food are not easily satisfied.D.Their choice of dinner is related to ideas of quality.74.What does the underlined word “escalation”in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Understanding.B.IncreaseC.DifferenceD.Study。
