2015年全国高考英语新课标卷II答案及详解听力部分(略)第二部分阅读理解第一节A【语篇导读】这是一篇记叙文。
作者用幽默诙谐的笔调向我们讲述了他购买的一台电视机所带来的一系列烦恼的故事。
21. C。
推理判断题。
根据“…newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid.”可知,作者是在一天后看到自己所购买的电视机降了75美元才感觉自己上当受骗上当了。
由此可知他本可以以更低的价格购买这台电视机的。
因此C项正确。
22. A。
词义猜测题。
由下一句的内容可知,我没有彻夜播放电影的频道,不然就无法睡觉了。
据此可以推断作者一直看到一天的节目结束为止。
故A项为正确答案。
23. D。
事实细节题。
由短文最后“My trip to the repair shop cost me $62.”一句可知,作者把电视机送到维修店里请人修理。
24. D.推理判断题。
纵览全文,尤其是第二段末句“I actually began to build up my arm muscles, shaking my set.”(通过摇晃电视机,我手臂的肌肉增强了不少。
)字里行间流露出作者幽默调侃的语气。
因此答案为D。
B【语篇导读】这是一篇科普说明文。
短文主要说明了人的食量与房子粉刷的颜色、灯光的明暗等有着密切的关系。
它们对人的身材会产生一定的影响。
25. B。
推理判断题。
短文主要说明了饮食与室内光线、墙壁的颜色、餐具的尺寸及进餐的速度等的关系。
显然这对于那些注重体形的人是有所帮助的。
故答案为B。
26. B。
事实细节题。
根据第三段“…people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.”可知,蓝色的用餐环境有助于减少食物摄入量。

.2015 年高考全国卷 2 英语试题第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力(共两节,满分30 分)略第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40 分)AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it alittle over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthdayinstead of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying adiscontinued model. I realized this a day later,when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid.The set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for thenight.Fortunately,I didn ’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电 )noise. For some reason,when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, andto get rid of it,I had to change to another channel and then change it back.Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to removethe sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉 ) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise,I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away.At last I ended up hitting the set with my first, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, andthe sit is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A.He got an older model than he had expected.B.He couldn ’t return it when it was broken.C.He could have bought it at a lower price.D.He failed to find any movie shows on it.【参照答案】 C【考察内容】细节理解题【分析思路】依据第一段第四行“when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. ”当我看到报纸上 75 美元比我买的价钱低的时候,我感觉我受骗了。
2015年英语高考全国卷二完形填空详解和译文融合).【语篇导读】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。
作者女儿所在的球队因为这个赛季表现突出而入围锦标赛。
虽然与强手角逐的前两场比赛中失利,但是善于吸取教训的孩子们在周日的比赛中进球了。
通过这次经历,给我们启发,学校里的学习很重要,但是亲身经历和实践是更好的学习和老师。
41.【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的形容词辨析。
【答案】B【解析】学校,朋友,老师,这些都是传统的学习渠道,而非公共的、官方的、特殊的地方。
根据下文But…somewhereelseinstead.可知,这些都是传统意义上的学习的地方。
考查语境中形容词的辨析。
根据首句的意思及“SchoolAfriendAtutor”,再结合生活常识,不难看出,这些都是传统意义上的(traditional)学习途径。
public公共的:official官方的,正式的:special特别的。
均不符合题意。
42.【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的动词词义辨析。
【答案】C【解析】但是很有可能你真正想学的在除此以外的别的地方。
此空是learning的谓语,lie位于,在于。
根据第一句话的Where可知这里是lie,意为“在于”。
考查语境中动词的辨析。
既然你想要的学习方式不是传统的:在学校里跟朋友交流或向导师求教。
那么它很可能会存在于其它地方。
lie(位于,存在于)符合语境。
43.【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的名词辨析。
【答案】D【解析】“我”有机会在一个周末亲眼看到。
firsthand第一手的,亲自的。
A梦想;B观点;C习惯,都不符合句意。
havethechanceof意为“有……的机会”。
考查语境中名词的辨析。
联系下文可知,“我”有机会亲自观看了女儿的一场足球赛并领悟到了这一点。
dream梦想;idea主意;habit习惯。
均与句意不符。
高考完形填空真题解析Wheredoyougowhenyouwanttolearn[评析]这句话起到承上启下的作用,作者有这样一个机会目睹第一手的材料,以下的女儿踢球的故事印证了作者要表达的主题:通过亲自体验和领悟,能够学到更有价值的东西。

About 30 percent of the world’s export of tea makes its way to London. And Britain is by far the largest importer of tea in the world.Now in the second picture, you can see how tea is tasted in the Tea Trade Centre before it is sold. Here, different types of tea are tasted by skilled tea-tasters before they are sold at each week’s tea sale. It’s amazing to see them at work! Over a hundred kinds of tea are laid out in a line on a long table. The tasters generally taste tea with milk, since that is how the majority of British people drink their tea. The tasters move down the line with surprising speed, tasting from a spoon and deciding what is a fair price for each tea.第二部分阅读理解第一节21.【答案】C【解析】根据“…newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid.”可知,作者是在一天后看到自己所购买的电视机降了75美元才感觉自己上当受骗上当了。

AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I leta salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model, I realized this a day late,when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid,The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night, Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all -night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason,when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise ,I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether .My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now,but I keep expecting more trouble.21.Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set? A.He got an older model than he had expected.B.He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C.He could have bought it at a lower price.D.He failed to find any movie shows on it.22.Which of the following can best replace the phrase”signed off”in Paragraph 1?

By turning it on and off. C. By switching channels. D. By having it repaired.24. How does the anthor sound when telling the story ? A. Curious B. Anxious C. Cautious D. HumorousBYour house may have an effect on your figure . Experts say the way you design your home could play arole in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off . You can make your environment work for you instead of against you . Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan. Open the curtains and turn up the lights . Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating , for people are often less self-conscious (难为情)when they’re in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food . If your home doesn’t have enough window light , get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors . Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites . In one study , people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room . Warm colors like yellow make tood appear more appetizing , while cold colors make us feel less hungry . So when it’s time to repaint , go blue.Don’t forget the clock -or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories (卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down , turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishs, Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a largespoon over a smaller one ,total intake(摄入)jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.25.The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.A. their home comfortsB. their body shapeC. house buyingD. healthy diets26.A home environment in blue can help people_________.A.digest food betterB.reduce food intakeC.burn more caloriesD.regain their appetites27.What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A.Eat quickly.B.Play fast music.e smaller spoons.D.Turn down the lights.28.What can be a suitable title for the test?A.Is Your Hourse Making You Fat?B.Ways of Serving DinnerC.Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD.Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?CMore students than ever cefore are taking a gap-year (间隔年)before going to university.It used to be called the “year off” between school and university.The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by University and College Admissions Serbice(UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be stisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students(NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student had ship – young people are being forced into ea rning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to £15,000 in debt.
