B. Only unmarried people are interested in the practice.

【答案】17. C 18. A 19. B 20. A
【解析】
Instead of buying a house in the suburbs or an apartment in the city center, many people are starting to purchase apartments in hotels. Unlike traditional apartments, your neighbors are always changing in hotel apartments. This could be a problem at the height of the tourist season as hotels fill up with loud, energetic guests, but many people prefer these kinds of arrangements for different reasons. Many are no doubt drawn to the luxurious furnishing of the rooms. Others may like the fact that the decoration has already been taken care of by the hotel staff. Another advantage is the service that hotels provide: you have maids to clean and repairmen to fix things, and management is there to provide the same service that it would for any short-term guest. However, none of these reasons explain why people buy hotel rooms as the main apartment for their families. Hotels are not really designed to become long-term apartments, but more people are beginning to do this, so it is possible that these disadvantages, such as small living space and ever-changing neighbors, might not actually be that important.
【17题详解】
根据Others may like the fact that the decoration has already been taken care of by the hotel staff.(其他一些人喜欢这个事实:宾馆员工会打理好公寓内的装饰)一句可知一些人喜欢酒店式公寓的原因之一就是不必为装饰担心。故选C。
【18题详解】
根据This could be a problem at the height of the tourist season as hotels fill up with loud, energetic guests(在旅游旺季可能是个问题,那个时候酒店里会充满大声喧哗,精力旺盛的游客)一句可知在主要的节假日住在酒店式公寓会是个问题。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据it is possible that these disadvantages, such as small living space and ever-changing neighbors, might not actually be that important.(很可能的是,这些缺点,比如空间小,邻居老是在换等,并不是那么重要。)一句可知选B。
【20题详解】
根据Hotels are not really designed to become long-term apartments, but more people are beginning to do this(宾馆不是设计用来充当长期居住的公寓,但是越来越多的人这么做)一句可知越来越多的人正选择住在酒店式公寓。故选A。
第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)
第一节(共10小题;每小题2.5分,满分25分)
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle.
As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fade---or so we thought, as she didn’t mention it again. We bought the latest fashionable Baby Sitter’s Club dolls, a holiday dress and some beautiful story books. Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she proudly announced that she “really wanted a bike more than anything else.”
It was just too late, what with all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last-minute gifts. We could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child. “What if I make a little bicycle out of clay and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike?” Her dad asked. The theory, of course, being that since that is a high-ticket item and she is “such a big girl”, it would be much better for her to pick it out. So he spent the next five hours painstakingly working with clay to make a tiny bike.
Three hours later, on Christmas morning, we were excited for Rose to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud.
She looked at me and then at her dad and said, “so does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one?”
Beaming, I said, “Yes.”
Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. I’d rather keep this than get a real bike.”
At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle on the planet!
21. Rose’s parents didn’t buy her the bike she wanted because ______.
A. they had bought many other wonderful things for her
B. they thought she had changed her mind
C. they didn’t have time to do any shopping
D. they decided to make one for her
22. Why did Dad make the clay bicycle?
A. He thought Rose was too young for a real bike.
B. He didn’t want to disappoint his daughter.
C. He thought his daughter would like it.
D. He wanted to give his daughter a surprise.
23. From the story, we know that ______.
A. Rose’s father was an artist with special skills
B. Rose would trade in the clay bike for a real one
C. The parents were moved and proud of the girl
D. Rose was a thoughtful and independent girl
【答案】21. B 22. B 23. C
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇故事。讲述了Rose希望圣诞节收到一辆自行车。父母没有给她买自行车,因为他们认为Rose可能对自行车失去了兴趣,为了满足女儿愿望,爸爸决定给她做个粘土的自行车让她去换个新的,但是Rose决定保留这个粘土自行车,不要新的自行车。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“As Christmas drew nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fade---or so we thought, as she didn’t mention it again.可知,作者夫妻俩认为Rose买自行车的愿望褪去了,所以没给她买。故选B。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段的第二句“We could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child”可推知,作者夫妻因为没有帮女儿实现圣诞节的愿望而内疚,为了不让Rose失望,决定做一个黏土自行车模型先送给Rose,之后Rose可以用它来兑换一辆真正的自行车。故选B。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章的最后一句 “作者夫妇愿意竭尽全力(moved heaven and earth)给Rose买自行车”可推知:这对父母亲为女儿的行为而感到并觉得自豪。故选C。
【点睛】1、抓住文章的6个要素:
阅读时要学会从事情本身的发展去理解故事情节而不要只看事件在文中出现的先后顺序。因此,无论是顺叙还是倒叙,阅读此类文章时,必须要找到它结构中的5个W(when, where, who, why, what)和1个H(how),不过不是每篇都会完整地交待六个要素。毫无疑问,寻出这些元素是能够正确快速解题的一个先决条件。 本题中的第二小题即是考查这一点,根据文章第三段的第二句“We could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child”可推知,作者夫妻因为没有帮女儿实现圣诞节的愿望而内疚,为了不让Rose失望,决定做一个黏土自行车模型先送给Rose,之后Rose可以用它来兑换一辆真正的自行车。B选项正确。
2、注意作者的议论和抒情:
高考英语阅读理解故事类文章常伴随着作者思想情感的流露和表达,因此议论和抒情往往夹杂其中。行文时或按事情发生发展的先后时间进行或按事情发生发展的地点来转换,也可能按事情发展的阶段来布局。在引出话题,讲完一件事情后,作者往往会表达个人感悟或提出建议等。这些体现作者观点或思想的语句在阅读时可以划线,它们往往体现文章中心或者写作意图,属于必考点,所以要仔细体会。
3、结合前两点归纳文章中心,把握作者态度:
故事类文章是通过记叙一件事来表达中心思想的,它是文章的灵魂。归纳文章中心思想时,尤其要分析文章的结尾,因为很多文章卒章显志,用简短的议论、抒情揭示文章中心;文章中议论抒情的句子往往与中心密切相关;也有的文章需要在结合概括各段大意的基础上归纳中心。另外,叙述一件事必有其目的,或阐明某一观点,或赞美某种品德,或抨击某种陋习,这就要求我们在阅读时,通过对细节(第1点中的六要素)的理解,把握作者的态度。
4、有章有据进行解题判断:
分析文章,归纳主题,属于分析、概括、综合的表述能力的考查。切忌脱离文章,架空分析,一定让分析在文章中有依据。本题第三小题即是考查这一点。根据文章的最后一句 “作者夫妇愿意竭尽全力(moved heaven and earth)给Rose买自行车”可推知:这对父母亲为女儿的行为而感到并觉得自豪。因此C选项正确。
B
Nobel prize winners sometimes display as much uniqueness when deciding how to spend their prize money as they did on the work that won them the award in the first place.
When Sir Paul Nurse won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2001, he decided to upgrade his motorbike. A fellow winner in 1993, Richard Roberts, installed a croquet lawn in front of his house.
Austrian author Elfriede Jelinek, who won in 2004, said the prize meant “financial independence.”
Lars Heikensten, executive director of the Nobel Foundation, said there were no obvious shopping trends among winners.
“I think it depends a lot on which country they come from, their personal finances... what kind of incomes they have when they get the prize,” he said.
Real estate, however, is a popular option, at least among those willing to reveal what they spend the money on. Phillip Sharp, the American co-winner of the 1993 medicine prize, decided to splash out on a 100-year-old Federal style house. “I took that money and bought a little bit bigger house... It’s a beautiful old place,” he told AFP(法新社), adding that “The money is a nice part of the process”, but “the important thing about the prize is the recognition.”
For winners of the peace prize the decision is often more clear-cut, as the honor tends to go to politicians, organizations and activists who are under more public supervision. Many, like US President Barack Obama in 2009 and the European Union in 2012, donate to charities.
Literature winners tend to be more private about how they use the money, but the choice is often equally straightforward. “Even if Nobel-winning authors are quite well known, many of them will not have made much money from writing," said Anna Gunder, a Nobel literature expert at Uppsala University. While the prize might keep the wolf from the door for some years, giving them freedom to write, it can also briefly have the opposite effect. “It really changes their careers... During the first year after they’ve won they often write less, but they generally continue after a year or two,” said Gunder.
24. From the passage, we learn that ______.
A. The money is actually the best part of the Nobel Prize
B. Nobel winners have great originality in using prize money
C. Few winners would spend their prize money on houses
D. Winners become more independent on their country
25. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “clear-cut” in paragraph 6?
A. open B. private C. unique D. complex
26. According to the passage, in the first year after winning Noble Prize, literature winners may .
A. become less productive
B. make more money from writing
C. have the freedom to create more and better works
D. disappear from the public eyes for a period of time
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. A
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了诺贝尔奖获得者在决定如何花他们的奖金时展现出很多的独特性。比如,房产就是众多诺贝尔奖获得者喜欢投资的方向。文章还提到了诺贝尔和平奖获得者对奖金的花费更公开,而文学家获得者对奖金的花费更私人化。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章的第一段可知:诺贝尔奖获得者在决定如何花他们的奖金时展现出很多的独特性(uniqueness)。B选项中的 “originality”意为“独创性,创造性”。 故选B。
【25题详解】
词义猜测题。该句的句意为:诺贝尔和平奖得主的奖金如何用的决定通常会更清晰,公开。因为和平奖通常会由政治家、组织及活动家获得,而他们通常处在更多的公众监管之下。故选A。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的最后一句“During the first year after they’ve won they often write less,...”可得知在获得诺贝尔奖之后的第一年,作家作品会少一些。故选A。
【点睛】猜词技巧
阅读理解的测试中经常有猜测词、短语、习语意义的题目,这些词、短语、习语要么是生词,要么是熟词新义,单靠平时积累是不够的,还要掌握一定的做题技巧。总结如下:
(1)根据构词法(转化、合成、派生)进行判断;
(2) 根据文中的定义、解释猜生词;利用事例或解释猜生词;利用重复解释的信息猜生词。如第1小题可根据该句的句意为:诺贝尔和平奖得主的奖金如何用的决定通常会更清晰,公开。因为和平奖通常会由政治家、组织及活动家获得,而他们通常处在更多的公众监管之下。因此,在公众的监督之下这些获奖者对奖金的花费更公开,因此clear-cut意为“公开”。
(3)根据上下文的指代关系进行选择:文章中的代词it,that,he,him或them可以指上文提到的人或物,其中it和that还可以指一件事。
(4)根据转折或对比关系进行判断:根据上下句的连接词,如but,however,otherwise等就可以看到前后句在意义上的差别,从而依据某一句的含义,来确定另一句的含义。
(5)根据因果关系进行判断:俗话说,“有因必有果,有果必有因”
。根据原因可以预测结果,根据结果也可以找出原因。
(6)根据同位关系进行判断:阅读中有时出现新词、难词,后面就跟着一个同位语,对前面的词进行解释,有时这种解释也用连词“or”连接。
(7)利用标点符号和提示词猜测词义。分号(;)还可以表示转折、对比或不相干的意义。破折号表示解释说明。
C
Closeness and independence are both important in our life. Though all humans need both of them, women tend to focus on the first and men on the second. It is as if their lifeblood ran in different directions.
These differences can give women and men differing views of the same situation, as they did in the case of couple I will call Tracy and Brian. When Brian’s old high school friend called him at work and announced he’d be in town on business the following month, Brian invited him to stay for the weekend. That evening he informed Tracy that they were going to have a houseguest, and that he and his friend would go out together the first night to chat like old times. Tracy was upset. She was going to be away on business the week before, and the Friday night when Brian would be out with his friend would be her first night home. But what upset her the most was that Brian had made these plans on his own and informed her of them, rather then discussing them with her before extending the invitation.
Tracy would never make plans, for a weekend or an evening, without first checking with Brian. She can’t understand why he doesn’t show her the same courtesy and consideration that she shows him. But when she protests, Brian says, “I can’t say to my friend, ‘I have to ask my wife for permission’!”
To Brian, checking with his wife means seeking permission, which implies that he is not independent, not free to act on his own. To Tracy, checking with her husband makes her feel good to know and show that she is involved with someone, that her life is bound up with someone else’s.
Tracy and Brian both felt upset by this incident because it cut to the core of their primary concerns. Tracy was hurt because she sensed a failure of closeness in their relationship: He didn’t care about her as much as she cared about him. And he was hurt because he felt she was trying to control him and limit his freedom.
27. What is the primary purpose of the author in writing this passage?
A. To educate the reader on how to maintain good family relationships.
B. To tell the reader how to make close connections with other people.
C. To suggest the best way of coping with family conflicts.
D. To explain the difference in communication styles between men and women.
28. Tracy was upset because ______.
A. she didn’t know Brian’s friend
B. she was too busy to meet Brian’s friend
C. Brian didn’t care about her and hurt her deeply
D. Brian didn’t consult her before inviting his friends home
29. What would Tracy most probably do if she plans to buy something expensive?
A. She would discuss with Brian.
B. She would simply decide on her own.
C. She would ask her friends for advice.
D. She would buy Brian something expensive first.
30. According to the passage, compared with men, women tend to ______.
A. be more emotional
B. be easier to get hurt
C. emphasize more on sharing
D. emphasize more on independence
【答案】27. D 28. D 29. A 30. C
【解析】
本文是一篇说明文。文章通过虚构的两个主人翁(一对夫妇)-- Tracy 和 Brian,解释了夫妻双方的不同之处:妻子在意的是夫妻之间的亲密,而丈夫更在乎自己的独立。
【27题详解】
目的意图题。文章从第一段开始就讲述男女的需求和关注点不同,后面以Tracy和Brian这对夫妇的例子来说明男女因交流方式不同而造成的冲突。因此本文作者的目的在于解释男女因交流方式的不同。故选D。
28题详解】

【点睛】完形填空是高考英语中最难的一个题,正确解答完形填空题是考试成功至关重要的保障。完形填空所选的文章都是具有逻辑关系、意义相连的语篇,因此,在行文中不可避免地会出现词语的复现、前后同义或反义、相互照应等现象。所以,解题时应联系上下文寻找相关线索,如某一个词的原词、指代词、同义词、近义词、上义词、下义词和概括词等。完形填空的解题方法很多,而词汇复现法就是最常见的方法之一。词汇复现包括原词复现、同义词复现、同根词复现、概括词复现以及结构复现等。本题中的第一小题中的terrifying,在文章的最后一句也提到了terrify。因此可以采用了同义词或原词复现的方法。但由于我们在做题时不可能总是重复地阅读文章,因此,在做完形填空时要培养一种捕捉并记忆相关信息的能力。

【点睛】It's time…句型是中学英语里使用频率较高的句型,其意为“该是……的时候了”。用法灵活多变,也是大家以掌握的句型。现就其有关句式归纳如下:
⑴ It's time for + n.“该是(干)……的时候了。
Boys and girl, It's time for class. 同学们,该上课了。
⑵ It's time + (for sb.) to do sth. .表示“该是(某人)干……的时候了。
It's time for you to clean the classroom. 该是你打扫教室的时候了。
⑶ It's + the+序数词+ time+ that clause.也 表示某人第几次做某事。例:
It is my first time that I've even written letters. 这是我第一次用写信。
⑷ It's time + that clause 时,that可省略,time可由high, about修饰,从句中的谓语动词有两种形式,或者用动词的过去式(be用were);或者用shoud + 动词原形(should不能省略)。此句型为虚拟语气句型,表示“现在某人该做某事了”。含有该事早该去做而未做,现在去做似乎都为时已晚的意思。例:
It's high time that the article were published.发表这篇文章是适时的。
本题中的第9小题既是考查这一点。句意:是到了我们该采取行动改善环境的时候了。本题考查虚拟语气的固定句型It’s time that we did sth.意为:该到了做某事的时候了,后面that从句中谓语动词用一般过去时或should do。故填took。

67.阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
“Helicopter parents” is a description of parents who are hovering over their children in a state of extreme concern. They always show up to solve their children’s problems, protect them from real or imagined harm, resolve stressful situation, offer advice and get them out of trouble, even if they misbehaved. Although out of love and concern, it can have harmful effect on their children’s emotional development and future autonomy.
Children learn through their mistakes. But if you intervene (介入) at first sign of struggle and finish your child’s homework, he’ll miss out on valuable learning opportunities. You’re sending him the message that he needs to be perfect and failure is not an option, otherwise you wouldn’t always take over for him.
By constantly rescuing your child from stressful situation, you’re sending him a message that you don’t believe he’s capable of taking care of himself. Children develop self-esteem by learning how to complete challenge on their own. If you are always intervening, he’s denied this vital stage in his growth. As a result, your child may lack the confidence necessary to do well in school, pursue hobbies and interests, and develop friendships.
If you’re always taking care of everything for your child, it’ll be more difficult for him to become independent. As an adult, he might find it hard to take care of himself, because he’s never developed coping skills to deal with life’s challenges. He might suffer from irrational fears, anxiety and depression, which could lead him to drop out of college or frequently change jobs, according to Dr. Michele Borba. Instead of developing healthy relationships, he might seek a partner who will take care of him or controlling, as his parents were.
You can help your child become more independent by allowing him to complete tasks and challenges on his own without your intervention. Even if he fails at first don’t interfere---encourage him to start again. Show that you have faith in his abilities to succeed without your help. Allow him to
learn natural consequences. Even small things can help him become more independent---making his own bed, preparing his own lunch, shopping for his own clothes and doing homework without your help.

这是一篇概要写作应用文。
【详解】如何提取要点,注意事项。
本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了家长教育孩子的一种方式--直升机式家长。直升机式家长总是尽力地为孩子提供成功机会,并因此而过分管教孩子。有时候直升机式家长可能赢了某场战役,但实际上输了一场战争。家长对孩子的过度管教会对孩子的生活造成伤害,让孩子失去自信,失去处理生活压力的能力。作者在文中劝说家长不要做直升机式家长。
第一段提出话题:家长教育孩子的一种方式--直升机式家长,并提出这种教育方式的害处。这可概括为“Helicopter parents”, parents getting deeply involved in children’s life, actually do big harm to children’s growth.
第二段,第三段,第四段分别论述了直升机式家长这种教育方式的坏处。由此可概括为Under over-protection, children miss the lessons taught by failures and mistakes, fail to build up their self-confidence and become weak in competence and emotions, which consequently makes it hard for them to face real life challenges.
结合前三段,作者在本文最后一段劝说家长不要做直升机式家长。由此可概括为Therefore, parents should learn to let go and encourage children to be independent, staring from small things.
