2010年全国普通高等学校招生考试(全国大纲卷Ⅱ)英语答案1．C 2．D 3．A 4．B 5．A6．C【解析】考查交际用语。

说话人委婉地拒绝了对方的请求。

A、B两项说法不正确；D 项不符合英语习惯；C项是正规的客套用语。

7．A【解析】考查连词用法。

句意:汤姆正要关窗户，这时他的注意力被一只鸟吸引住了。

本句是"Sb was about to do sth when．．．"结构，表示"某人正要做某事，这时突然……"。

8．A【解析】考查动词短语辨析。

打开抽屉的目的是把刀和调羹放进去。

put away表示"把……收起来放好"。

后三项分别表示"张贴" "穿上" "组合"，都不符合语意。

9．B【解析】考查时态和主谓一致。

who引导的定语从句所修饰的先行词前有the only限制，所以从句用单数谓语动词，再结合本句语意可知用一般现在时。

10．D【解析】考查宾语从句。

答语的意思是"我已经读到了孩子们发现了那个秘密洞穴的地方"。

where引导的是宾语从句，where在该从句中作地点状语。

2010年高考英语试题及答案（全国卷2）BOB DOUGHTY: Now, the VOA Special English program, AMERICAN STORIES.(MUSIC)We present the short story “The Lady, or the Tiger?” by Frank R. Stockton. Here is Barbara Klein with the story.(MUSIC)BARBARA KLEIN: Long ago, in the very olden time, there lived a powerful king. Some of his ideas were progressive. But others caused people to suffer.One of the king’s ideas was a public arena as an agent of poetic justice. Crime was punished, or innocence was decided, by the result of chance. When a person was accused of a crime, his future would be judged in the public arena.All the people would gather in this building. The king sat high up on his ceremonial chair. He gave a sign. A door under him opened. The accused person stepped out into the arena. Directly opposite the king were two doors. They were side by side, exactly alike. The person on trial had to walk directly to these doors and open one of them. He could open whichever door he pleased.If the accused man opened one door, out came a hungry tiger, the fiercest in the land. The tiger immediately jumped onhim and tore him to pieces as punishment for his guilt. The case of the suspect was thus decided.Iron bells rang sadly. Great cries went up from the paid mourners. And the people, with heads hanging low and sad hearts, slowly made their way home. They mourned greatly that one so young and fair, or so old and respected, should have died this way.But, if the accused opened the other door, there came forth from it a woman, chosen especially for the person. To this lady he was immediately married, in honor of his innocence. It was not a problem that he might already have a wife and family, or that he might have chosen to marry another woman. The king permitted nothing to interfere with his great method of punishment and reward.Another door opened under the king, and a clergyman, singers, dancers and musicians joined the man and the lady. The marriage ceremony was quickly completed. Then the bells made cheerful noises. The people shouted happily. And the innocent man led the new wife to his home, following children who threw flowers on their path.This was the king’s method of carrying out justice. Its fairness appeared perfect. The accused person could not know which door was hiding the lady. He opened either as he pleased, without having knowing whether, in the next minute, he was to be killed or married.Sometimes the fierce animal came out of one door. Sometimes it came out of the other.This method was a popular one. When the people gathered together on one of the great trial days, they never knew whether they would see a bloody killing or a happy ending. So everyone was always interested. And the thinking part of the community would bring no charge of unfairness against this plan. Did not the accused person have the whole matter in his own hands?(MUSIC)The king had a beautiful daughter who was like him in many ways. He lovedher above all humanity. The princess secretly loved a young man who was the best-looking and bravest in the land. But he was a commoner, not part of an important family.One day, the king discovered the relationship between his daughter and the young man. The man was immediately put in prison. A day was set for his trial in the king’s public arena. This, of course, was an especially important event. Never before had a common subject been brave enough to love the daughter of the king.The king knew that the young man would be punished, even if he opened the right door. And the king would take pleasure in watching the series of events, which would judge whether or not the man had done wrong in loving the princess.(MUSIC)The day of the trial arrived. From far and near the people gathered in the arena and outside its walls. The king and his advisers were in their places, opposite the two doors. All was ready. The sign was given. The door under the king opened and the lover of the princess entered the arena.Tall, beautiful and fair, his appearance was met with a sound of approval and tension. Half the people had not known so perfect a young man lived among them. No wonder the princess loved him! What a terrible thing for him to be there!As the young man entered the public arena, he turned to bend to the king. But he did not at all think of the great ruler. The young man’s eyes instead were fixed on the princess, who sat to the right of her father.From the day it was decided that the sentence of her lover should be decided in the arena, she had thought of nothing but this event.The princess had more power, influence and force of character than anyone who had ever before been interested in such a case. She had done what no other person had done. She had possessed herself of the secret of the doors. She knew behind which door stood the tiger, and behind which waited the lady. Gold, and the power of a woman’s will, had brought the secret to the princess.She also knew who the lady was. The lady was one of the loveliest in the kingdom. Now and then the princess had seen her looking at and talking to the young man.The princess hated the woman behind that silent door. She hated her with all the intensity of the blood passed to her through long lines of cruel ancestors.Her lover turned to look at the princess. His eye met hers as she sat there, paler and whiter than anyone in the large ocean of tense faces around her. He saw that she knew behind which door waited the tiger, and behind which stood the lady. He had expected her to know it.The only hope for the young man was based on the success of the princess in discovering this mystery. When he looked at her, he saw that she had been successful, as he knew she would succeed.Then his quic k and tense look asked the question: “Which?” It was as clear to her as if he shouted it from where he stood. There was not time to be lost.The princess raised her hand, and made a short, quick movement toward the right. No one but her lover saw it. Every eye but his was fixed on the man in the arena.He turned, and with a firm and quick step he walked acrossthe empty space. Every heart stopped beating. Every breath was held. Every eye was fixed upon that man. He went to the door on the right and opened it.(MUSIC)Now, the point of the story is this: Did the tiger come out of that door, or did the lady?The more we think about this question, the harder it is to answer. It involves a study of the human heart. Think of it not as if the decision of the question depended upon yourself. But as if it depended upon that hot-blooded princess, her soul at a white heat under the fires of sadness and jealousy. She had lost him, but who should have him?How often, in her waking hours and in her dreams, had she started in wild terror, and covered her face with her hands? She thought of her lover opening the door on the other side of which waited the sharp teeth of the tiger!But how much oftener had she seen him open the other door? How had she ground her teeth, and torn her hair, when she had seen his happy face as he opened the door of the lady! How her soul had burned in pain when she had seen him run to meet that woman, with her look of victory. When she had seen the two of them get married. And when she had seen them walk away together upon their path of flowers, followed by the happy shouts of the crowd, in which her one sad cry was lost!Would it not be better for him to die quickly, and go to wait for her in that blessed place of the future? And yet, that tiger, those cries, that blood!Her decision had been shown quickly. But it had been made after days and nights of thought. She had known she would be asked. And she had decided what she would answer. And she had moved her hand to the right.The question of her decision is one not to be lightly considered. And it is not for me to set myself up as the one person able to answer it. And so I leave it with all of you:Which came out of the open door – the lady, or the tiger?(MUSIC)BOB DOUGHTY: You have heard the American Story “The Lady, or the Tiger?” by Frank R. Stockton. Your storyteller was Barbara Klein. This story was adapted into Special English by Shelley Gollust. It was produced by Lawan Davis. Listen again next week for another American story in VOA Special English. I’m Bob Doughty.。

AWhen I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called "Brownie", My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破) one of Dad' shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, "Bad girl. " She looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she'd let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many dines when we'd be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked (吠) or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us.41.What would Brownie do when someone was ill in the family?A.Look at them sadly.B.Keep them company.C.Play games with them.D.Touch them gently.42.We can infer from Paragraph 2 that Brownie ________.A.would eat anything when hungryB.felt scary for her mistakeC.loved playing hide-and-seekD.disliked the author's dad43.Why does the author say that Brownie was more than just a family pet?A.She was treated as a member of the family.B.She played games with anyone she liked.C.She was loved by everybody she met.D.She went everywhere with the family.44.Some people got frightened by Brownie when she ________A.smiledB.barkedC.rushed to themD.triedto be funny45.Which of the following best describes Brownie?A.Shy.B.Polite.C.Brave.D.Cari ng.BWhen you're lying on the white sands of the Mexican Riviera, the stresses (压力) of the world seem a million miles away. Hey. stop! This is no vacation - yon have to finish something!Here lies the problem fat travel writer and food critic (评论家) Edie Jarolim. "I always loved traveling and always liked to eat, but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those things, " Jarolim said. Now you can read her travel advice everywhere—in Arts and Antiques. in Brides. or in one of her three books. The Complete Idiot Travel Guide to Mexico's Beach Resorts.Her job in travel writing began Some eight years ago. After getting a PhD in English in Canada. she took a test for Frommer's travel guides, passed it, and got the job. After working at Frommer's, Jarolim worked for a while at Rough Guides in London, then Fodor's, where she fell so in love with a description of the Southwest of the U. S. that she moved there.Now as a travel writer, she spends one-third of her year on the road. The rest of the time is spent completing her tasks and writing reviews of restaurants at home in Tucson, Arizona.As adventurous as the job sounds, the hard part is fact-checking all the information. Sure, it's great to write about a tourist attraction, but you'd better get the local (当地的) museum hours correct or you could really ruin someone's vacation.46.Which country does Jarolim have in now?A.Mexico.B.The U. S.C.The U. KD.Canada47.What is most difficult for Jarolim?A.Working in different places to collect informationB.Checking all the facts to be written in the guides.C.Finishing her work as soon as possible.D.Passing a test to write travel guides.48.What do we know about Jarolim from the text?A.She is successful in her job.B.She finds her life full of stresses.C.She spends half of her time traveling.D.She is especially interested in museums.49.What would he the best title for the text?A.Adventures in Travel WritingB.Working as a Food CriticC.Travel Guides on the MarketD.Vacationing for a LivingCThousands of people living in the Chinese capital will celebrate the start of the Chinese. New year by heading for the ski resorts (滑雪场). Never mind that Beijing's dry weather seldom produces snow. It is cold enough in winter for snow-making machines to make a covering for the hills north to the capital. And the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this new craze(热潮).Since Beijing's first ski resort was opened ten years ago, the sport has enjoyed astonishing increase. There are now more than a dozen resorts. Clothes markets in the city have added bright colored ski suits to their winter collections. Mr Wei, a manager of a newly-opened ski resort in Beijing, sees the growth of an industry that could soon lead Chinese to head for the ski resorts of Europe, In recent years ski resorts offering natural snow have opened in China. But many are in faraway areas of the country and can't really match the equipment and services of some ski resorts in Europe.Beijing's skiing craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private (私有的) cars. This has led to the growth of a leisure industry in the capital's suburbs (郊区), which until the late-1990s were unreachable to ordinary people, according to Mr Wei, about 40% of the visitors to his resort come in their own cars. The rest are bused in by schools, businesses or government Offices.The problem is making money. Starting ski resorts requires quite a lot of money; hiring land from the local government, preparing the hills, buying snow machines, making sure there are enough water and electricity to run them, and buying ski equipment for hiring out to customers. The ski resort where Mr Wei works cost nearly $4m to set up. And. as so often in China when someone comes up with a good idea, many others hash in and price wars break out. Beijing now offers some of the cheapest ski training classes in the world, though with most people rather new to the sport, expecting a few more doing the same job.50.What does this text mainly talk about?A.Convenience for skiers brought about by private cars.B.Skiing as a new way of enjoying one's spare time.C.Things to be considered when starting a ski resort.D.A sudden increase of ski training classes in Beijing.51.Why are some Chinese likely to go skiing in Europe?A.To visit more ski areas.B.To ski on natural snow.C.For a large collection of ski suits.D.For better services and equipment.52.The underlined words "leisure industry" in Paragraph 3 refer to ________.A.transport to ski resortsB.production of family carsC.business of providing spare time enjoymentsD.part-time work for people living in the suburbs53.What is the main problem in running a ski resort?A.Difficulty in hiring land.ck of business experience.C.Price wars with other ski resorts,D.Shortage of water and electricity DCoolest Hotels in the WorldAriau Aragon TowersThe Ariau Amazon Towers hotel lets you sleep in a tree house.

All we assume (推测) is that some early men invented certain sounds, in one way or another, to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could talk with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be put together to show those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, are called words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations—the things they bring up to our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we tire, the more certain words bring back to us the happy and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which have powerful effects on our minds and feelings. This clever use of words is what we call literary style (文体). Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can express his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears, Weshould therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech silly and common.58.We learn from the text that language might have begun with________.A.expressionsB.actionsC.signsD.sounds59.What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2?A.The learning of new words.B.The importance of old wordsC.The relation of human experience with words.D.The gradual change and development of words.60.In the last paragraph, what does the author suggest that we should do?e words skillfully.B.Make musical speechesC.Learn poems by heart.D.Associate with listeners.第二节根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
