2015年全国新课标（Ⅱ卷）英语试卷分析点评

难易程度和去年基本相同，题型没有新变化，整体上难度适中。试卷重点考查学生的基础知识和综合运用能力。

阅读理解部分：文章体裁设置和去年保持一致，以记叙文和说明文为主，主要考查考生快速获取、处理、分析信息的能力。第一篇文章是记叙文，第二、三篇是说明文，第四篇是应用文。阅读题型分为细节、推理、词义猜测和主旨大意四类。细节题所占比例最大，词义猜测题和主旨大意题只有2道。整体上看，4篇阅读文章信息量不是很大，语篇长度适中。阅读理解试题整体上问题简洁、清楚，只要考生真正读懂文章，就能正确作答。七选五这一题型出题方式仍较单一化，依然是一篇说明文，讲的是如何进行马拉松训练的话题，难易度与往年持平。

完形填空部分，今年所选的文章是一篇情境类文章，重点考查考生对基本词汇的掌握和根据上下文语境选择词汇的能力，对考生理解语境和语篇的能力有一定要求，难度和去年持平。语法填空和短文改错部分：侧重考查语法基础知识，考查内容较全面，其中动词时态、非谓语形式、词性转化都有涉及。而短文改错考查的内容集中在时态、介词、名词的单复数、固定搭配等，考查重点和语法填空一样，难度不大。书面表达部分：今年的书面表达设题属命题式半开放型作文，旨在考查考生能否正常使用日常语言交际的能力，内容贴近生活，延续以往新课标卷出题所热衷的体裁——应用文。

综上所述，今年的英语高考试题是考查考生们的基础知识、基本技能和语言综合运用能力。如果考生们的语言基本功扎实，可得到较为理想的分数。

(2013?江西) The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis's Swamp (沼泽地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack's dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.

“So，” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name？”

“Are you sure you want to hear it? It's a scary story，” warned Jack.

“Of course！” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn't he chosen this place！”

“OK, but don't say I didn't warn you，” said Jack, and he began this tale.

Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different — it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal?clear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.

You are clearing too much land, warned one old man. The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it.

Silly fool, said Dennis to himself. If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I'll bee wealthier. He's just jealous!

“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”

“What hened？” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire.

“The land hit back — just as the old man warned，” Jack shrugged. “Dennis diseared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”

“What a stupid story，” laughed Tom. “Plants can't…” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted (晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom's face. It was a while before Tom could reciate the joke.

1. The underlined word “dare” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.

A. courage B. assistance

C. instruction D. challenge

2. Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story?

A. To frighten them.

B. To satisfy their curiosity.

C. To warn them of the danger of the place.

D. To persuade them to camp in the swamp.

3. Why did Dennis ignore the warning of the old man?

A. The old man envied him.

B. The old man was foolish.

C. He was too busy to listen to others.

D. He was greedy for more crops.

4. Why did Tom scream and faint?

A. He saw Dennis's shadow.

B. He was scared by a plant.

C. His friends played a joke on him.

D. The weather became extremely cold.

5. What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis?

A. Grasp all, lose all.

B. No sweat, no sweet.

C. It is no use crying over spilt milk.

D. He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.

Unit 3

Ⅰ.1. A　考查固定搭配。从句末的as well 可知，我们已经习惯了这里的天气也习惯于冬天洗冷水澡。be accustomed to (doing) sth.习惯于某事或做某事。

2. B　考查动词搭配。注意permit 的搭配： permit doing, permit *** . to do。permit 用于被动语态时，要用be permitted to do…

3. D　考查短语动词的辨析。 句意：我不想占据你太多的时间，但是我确实有重要的事情。 keep up 坚持，维持； pick up 捡起，拾起； make up 编造； take up 占据(时间或空间)。

4. B　考查动词时态。由于上个星期二说的，所以用一般过去时。

5. D　考查倒装句。在“主语＋谓语＋地点状语”的句型中，如果强调地点状语，就把地点状语放于句首，后常用完全倒装的句型，即：地点状语＋谓语＋主语。

6. A　考查状语从句。experience是及物动词，that作其宾语，其后是一个状语从句。此句的意思是：我想趁孩子们小的时候体验漂流。

7. C　考查名词性从句。what 在此引导的是表语从句。

8. C　考查非谓语动词。children与attend 之间构成主动关系，所以要用现在分词作with复合结构的宾补。

9. A　adjust to 适应。

10. B　考查时态。该句用过去进行时符合语境。句意：你给我打电话时，我正在开会。

11. A　考查非谓语动词的用法。 句中的view与主语he是意义上的主动关系，且view在句中充当状语的成分，所以选A。

12. C　考查时态和语态。根据后面的时间状语应在过去时里选择，且主语cars与sell之间是构成被动关系，所以选C。

13. B　reception 接待。

14. A　in celebration of… 庆祝……

15. B　make a difference 产生不同，有区别。

Ⅱ.A　1. A　作者在文章的开头的第一句话告诉我们：“迈克?格林伯格是一个非常受欢迎的纽约人。”四个选项中，能与popular 对应的近义词应为 A. know about (了解，知道关于……的情况)。B.向……学习；C.为……欢呼，加油；D.寻找。

2. B　设空所在句的意思是：对于那些人来说，他是“手套” 格林伯格。他的这个名字是如何得来的呢？故B项name符合上下文语境。

3. B　设空处上下文句意为：“他看上去就像任何其他的商人，穿西装，带着一个公文包。但他也有不同之处。他的公文包里总放有一些手套。”设空处前面的but 非常重要，它表示转折，different表并不一样。

4. B　根据下文作者提到主人公要寻找没有手套的穷人赠送手套，所以他在街上环顾四周要看的是“行人”，B项people 与上下文相符，本段最后一句提到looking for more people with cold ______.也为此作了注解。

5. D　句意为：当他看到没戴手套的人时会停下来。作者上文特别提到“look around”， 而与之相对应的结果应该是“看到”， 所以D为正确答案。

6. A　手套是为冬季感到手冷的人保暖所用，故A项hand与上下文语义相符。

7. C　根据全文可知主人公在冬季纽约街头做的是赠人手套的义举，故C项give away (赠送) 最能表达上述含义。

8. B　设空所在句的句意是：听说他这一义举的人们给他寄去手套，这样他在他的公寓里积攒了许多副(手套)，B项send(寄送)符合题意。

9. C　设空所在句的句意为： 格林伯格先生做这一义举开始于21年前。C项begin(开始)，符合题意。

10. A　句意为： 现在，许多贫穷的纽约人知道了他，也理解了他的行为。根据作者But后的描述“也有一些人对他的行为产生误解”来看，只有A才是最佳选项。

11. B　设空所在句的句意为：这种义举一直在他们家族内传承。根据下文所述， 主人公的父亲也一向热衷于帮助穷人，可以看出主人公的这一做法是有家庭影响的。

12. A　句意：一副手套可能是微不足道的小事，但它在冬季能产生很大的意义。but前后的句子具有明显的转折含义，所以选A，此句也是整篇文章的寓意所在。

B　1. it　2. who　3. on　4. you　5. to　6. an　7. because/since/as　8. would

Ⅲ.1. D　词义猜测题。根据文章第一段可知这个地方很诡异，Martin和Tom 感到害怕，都希望没有接受Jack的大胆挑战。 A．勇气；B.帮助；C.指导；D.挑战。

2. B　细节理解题。 根据文章第三段和第四段中的“Are you sure you want to hear it？” 和 “Of course！” 可得出答案。

3. D　细节理解题。 根据文章倒数第五段中的“If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I'll bee wealthier.”可知他想种更多的农作物。

4. B　推理判断题。 根据文章最后一段的“Some green swamp ivy(常春藤) had covered Tom's face.”可知，Tom是因被常春藤的叶子盖到脸部而吓到了。

5. A　主旨大意题。 文章讲到了Dennis太贪婪，不断地开垦土地想把所有土地都种植农作物以获取更多金钱而受到大自然的报复，所以选A(贪多必失)。B.没有汗水，没有收获；C.覆水难收；D.不犯错误的人是不会有收获的。

All around the world, more and more people are donating their time to take part in online volunteering projects. What motivates them to help strangers without expectation of money or even thanks?

Radha Taralekar helped teach Imelda how to protect herself from HIV, though the two he never met, and neither knows the other's name. From her home in Mumbai, the young woman took several weeks to write a guide especially for Imelda — who lost her children to HIV/Aids in Uganda. Taralekar received no payment for the job. Taralekar is one of a number of talented people who regularly donate their time online. But what is driving them to help total strangers, while asking for nothing in return? For Taralekar, the project ge her the chance to use her professional experience. “I want to serve people with my medical knowledge，” she says.

For some, the inspiration to volunteer online was far more personal. After losing his wife to cancer, Tony Selman spent many hours online helping Cancer Research to collect data on the disease. “Seeing how painful she was when my wife was dying, I determined to help scientists find a cure for cancer，” he says.

Interests and hobbies are also one of the factors. In 2011 Sam Luk, a designer, joined other online volunteers to try to help the police solve a murder case. Twelve years earlier the body of Ricky McCormick had been found killed in a field in St Louis, Missouri — the only clues being two encoded(译成密码)letters found in his pockets. Unable to decipher(破译)the codes, the police posted them online, calling for volunteers to help them make sense of the messages. “I'm interested in patterns and I love Sherlock Holmes，” says Luk. He spent hours every week trying to decrypt the notes, but the case remains unsolved to this day.

For writer Clay Shirky, some large online volunteering projects benefit millions of people, giving him a sense of achievement and generosity. He helps write Wikipedia, the world's biggest encyclopaedia(网上百科全书), which is written entirely by people willing to donate their professional knowledge without any reward.

1. Which of the following is the best title?

A. What caused Taralekar to help Imelda?

B. What motivates people to help others?

C. Why do people help strangers online?

D. Where can we find volunteers online?

2. We can infer that Radha Taralekar is a ______.

4. When was Ricky McCormick found killed in a field in St Louis, Missouri?

2015年湖南高考英语试卷难不难，难度系数解读点评答案解析

1、2015湖南高考英语试题延续了近几年湖南省英语卷的命题主旨和原则，不仅注重考查考生对英语语言基础知识和语言技能的掌握，同时突出考查在特定语言环境中综合运用英语语言知识的运用能力。

2、 试卷难度：与往年基本上保持一致，但也有一些新的变化，如语法选择题的题干表述和阅读材料的选材以及作文的命题形式。总的来说，对于普通水平的学生来说可谓是“看得懂文章，做得出题目”。

3、 听力理解：语速适中，语音清晰，均为日常生活中考生所熟悉的话题，总体上难易度适中。

语法选择题：依然注重对时态、语态、非谓语动词和三大从句的考查，兼顾特殊句式。值得注意的是，该部分的题干中少见地出现了直接引语，而非往年的对话形式。题干的结构也比较复杂，对考生的词汇量以及句子分析能力有了更高要求，需要考生能把语言的形式、意义和用法有机的结合起来，能在语境中了解、掌握和运用语法知识。

完形填空：第一节选文是一篇具有积极情感态度和“正能量”的记叙文，与往年一样重点考查动词和名词，兼顾考查形容词和副词。第二节选文是一篇极具实际指导意义的说明文，重点考查语言的衔接、连贯和结构。

阅读理解：选材上富有浓郁的时代气息，关注民生热点。

任务型阅读：虽选材新颖、实用性强，但从设题来看比较保守，难度不大。

作文：还是近年来多次考查的半开放性的记叙文（除去年的说明文外），给出的开头部分即作文的内容要求，话题贴近考生校园生活，给了考生写作内容的方向但不拘束写作的内容，有话可写。■记者 彭可心 整理

(原创)Parents who can't help but tell their children they are beautiful may actually be harming their confidence, according to women's minister Jo Swinson.

Ms Swinson says seemingly harmless ments about the hair, looks or clothes of one of their children could send the negative message that looks are the most important thing in life.

The 33?year?old woman, who does not he any children, said mothers should also be careful when plaining or boasting_about their looks in front of their children for the same reason.

Instead, Ms Swinson said parents should praise their children's intelligence and other positive qualities to help them succeed in life.

In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, Ms Swinson said: “I know as an aunt, you fall into the trap of turning to your niece and saying, ‘you look beautiful’ — because of course all children do look beautiful — but if the message they get is that is what is important and that is what gets the most praise, then that's necessarily the most positive message you want them to hear.”

She added that instead praising them for skills like an ability to do a jigsaw(拼图), or positively menting on their inquisitive (好问的)nature was a healthier way to improve their self?confidence.

According to a survey, a quarter of all children are unhy about their earance, while more than 70 per cent of girls feel that there is too much of a focus on the attractiveness of famous women.

She added: “It's not like saying looks don't matter at all. If you're going for an interview, you will dress *** artly and look the part, that is absolutely fine, but it's just the level to which this bees the ultimate focus of everything.”

She added that when children see their parents plaining about their weight or asking their children's opinion on their earance it teaches them that earance is important.

1. What do you know about Jo Swinson?

A. She is single.

B. She is childless.

C. She is attractive.

D. She is overweight.

2. The underlined phrase “boasting about” means ______.

A. arguing excitedly about

B. worrying sadly about

C. talking proudly about

D. dealing carefully with

3. According to Ms Swinson, parents should praise their children for their ______.

A. good thinking ability

B. pretty earance

C. attractive clothes

D. fashionable hair

4. According to a survey, ______.

A. 80% of girls focus on the attractiveness of famous women

B. 50% of children think they are beautiful

C. 30% of girls hope they can bee famous women

D. 25% of children are not satisfied with their earance

5. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Good earance helps children succeed in life.

B. Good earance prevents children from succeeding in life.

C. Telling children they are beautiful may be harmful.

D. Telling children they are beautiful may be helpful.

Students Seek Relief as Finals Approach

For college students everywhere, no other period is quite as stressful as the end of the academic semester.

“No matter what university you attend, you will feel the stress of finals week, because you know what you're going through.” says Kaylee Merchak, a MMC(Marymount Manhattan College) junior.

To ease the burden, most colleges will adjust the standard academic calendar to allow students some of the extra time that finals require.

During the finals period, the library also extends its hours past their usual schedule. As of December 9, the library will be open Monday through Thursday until midnight, and it is open until 10：00 p．m. on Fridays. The weekend hours will also be extended from 10：00 a．m. to 6：00 p．m. on Saturdays and 12：00 p．m. to 9：00 p．m. on Sundays.

The expansion of the library's hours is very helpful for students during the end of the semester. “I think it's a good idea that the library extends their hours during finals week，” says Merchak. “I know a lot of students work in the library and that allows them to work longer and increases their likelihood of success.”

Brian Rocco, Director of the Library, also says that students are still able to access the online resources that they he to offer. “Our ‘virtual’ library is open 24/7，” he continues. “With an Inter connection, you can access our extensive e?book and e?journal collection anytime, anywhere.”

Whatever your major, the end of the semester can be a stressful time for everyone.

To survive this busy time, you should not only budget your time wisely, but also stay focused. May the odds be ever in your for!
