2010高考真题精品解析--英语(湖南卷)
【名师点评】
整套试卷突出了语言运用能力的考查。其中语言知识部分,15道单项选择题侧重动词和句法;动词方面,考查了动词时态、语态、语气、主谓一致、非谓语动词、情态动词,可谓是涉及了动词方方面面的语法知识。句法方面,考查了强调句型、定语从句、状语从句和名词性从句,考查面也很广。完形填空第一节全部考查实词,第二节几乎全部考查虚词。阅读理解题应用文一篇,说明文两篇,阅读量比往年小,且试题以细节理解题为主。写作部分的阅读填空题难度与去年持平,但阅读简答题尽管选材比去年容易,但答题难度大于去年。书面表达为开放性作文,为城乡学生均熟悉的联系学生实际的话题,让学生有话可写。总的来
说,整套试卷的难度小于去年,属偏易范畴。
(湖南卷听力解析)
2010年高考新鲜出炉,新课改祭出的全新湖南英语高考备受关注。由于新课改题型大幅改革,加上高校扩招等缘故,今年湖南卷英语考试难度系数有所下降,尤其新题型设计难度不大,语法题严格按照湖南考纲模版命题,有些单项填空相当简单,题命题设计缺乏亮点,乏善可陈,诚然让作为新东方高考珠江老师的我们感到有点失望。但为了保证试题改革试成功,避免区分度波动太大,这样的“保守”或有求稳之嫌,无可厚非。
根据高考改革的设计初衷,第一个题型听力部分可谓是大刀阔斧的第一刀,短对话被取消,考察六个长对话,共15个选择题,填空题增加到五个。长对话的增多、主观试题听写填空的分值比例增加,理论上势必导致听力部分更加注重对考生口语和书面表达输出水平、和在听说环境中对多种细节的处理加工能力的考察,难度会有所上升,对英语实际运用能力较差的考生不利,但笔者实际深入感受了今年的听力命题后,发现听力难度不升反降,语音为纯正美语,语速为140词每分钟,对话部分的语言设计略显沉闷,对话句型老套,对话情节了无新意,没有完全达到再现西方社会英语地道文化语境的真实效果,也没有出现较难的听力特词汇以及偏难怪的习语俚语;前面的四个长对话与以前的短对话无异,信息量并未增加,让人有“虚晃一枪”的感觉;听力填空题的题材与05年湖南卷填空题的电话自动应答雷同,老调重弹,缺乏新意。笔者觉得听力命题明显考虑照顾到了本省地州市英语口语教学水平相对欠发达的地区学子。
《牛津高中英语》教材的大胆使用,应当在几年内使湖南中学生的听说、词汇运用能力有质的飞跃。但2010年高考听力命题思路与原版教材的升级背道而驰。“中国基础中学教育向以高考为纲、莘莘学子一考定乾坤”的教育现状为不争的事实,与其否认不如正视和面对,通过符合国际英语教育和阶段性评价测试的先进理念指导高考命题,进而带动和促进基础中学英语教育水平向着科学、务实、高效、实用的正确方向发展,应该是当务之急。听力题目的设计命题应当走在时代的前沿,随着整体英语水平的提升而适当提高难度系数,才能使英语作为交流工具的功能进一步凸显,但是为了一味求稳,为了所谓的公平,照顾“后进”,使高考听力命题不是与时俱进而是因循守旧,这种“不患贫患不均”的心态可以说是历史的倒退,不但明显对英语水平较高的考生不利,而且从根本上违背了高考选拔人才的宗旨,是新的层面上的一种不公和偏颇。
介于此,笔者斗胆有感而发,高考听力部分的命题应当借鉴大学四六级的听力部分的思路,向国际标准英语评测体系雅思和托福考试看齐,大胆尝试,突出检验考生英语听力信息处理能力、口语表达水平和与书面表达的整合的综合运用能力,二广大基础中小学要加大对学生英语听说能力培训的软硬件投入,重视学生和英语口语水平和测试能力齐头并进发展,而不是明改革暗守旧,新瓶装旧酒,换汤不换药,以免让兄弟省份教育界资深人士和专家学者耻笑。
笔者听过高考考场现场录音进行听抄整理出原文资料,将所有30分的题目分析如下(由于录音极其模糊,个别句子实在难以听清,可能有个别文字与原文略有出入,还望海涵!)
第一部分 长对话
长对话一 Q1-2 细节罗列场景
W: Zad, Have you bought some flowers for Mom’s birthday? Mom loves flowers.
M: Flowers? No! We just bought her flowers for the Mother’s day. How about a nice box of chocolate?
W: She’s trying to lose weight these days, doesn’t she?
M: well, We could buy her books. She enjoys reading novels.
1. Why do they want to buy a gift for their mother?
A. It's her birthday. B. It's Mother's Day. C. It's Women's Day.
第一题选择A, 对话开头一两句即出现对话的目的和主题,主题开头的提问,往往揭示要点,这是必考的考点。
2. What are they going to buy?
A. Some flowers. B. A box of chocolates. C. A book.
第二题选择C,这是尾巴细节题,在最后一句出现,注意一头一尾的考点,复合湖南高考听力一贯的解题原则,最后听到的即为正确答案,前面的A B 项都是干扰信息。
长对话二 Q3-4 求助场景
W: It’s 9 o’clock now. Here Bill, I need to mail these letters right away.
M: Ok, Miss #$%, I’ll do it right now.
W: And while you’re there, please buy 10 one dollar’s stamp.
M: No problem, I should be back in half an hour.
3. What does the woman ask the man to do?
A. Go to a bank. B. Mail letters. C. Buy some magazines.
第三题选择B。与上题如出一辙,对话开篇定主题和目的,注意情态动词的提示功能。
4. What time will the man probably be back?
A. 9:00. B. 9:30. C. 10:00.
第四题选择B。考考听力细节题常考时间、地点、人名、数字,所以关注。综合前后两个时间信息,稍作处理,得知选择第二个选项。在对话里听到的具体时间绝度不是正确选项。
长对话三 Q5-6 邀请场景
M: I’m thinking about going to the rock concert in the student’s center, will you join me?
W: Sorry, I don’t think I’ll go to the concert tonight. I’ll have to wait %$^”s call, and then prepare for the exam.
M: Are we having an exam tomorrow?
W: Yeah, Our class will having a math exam tomorrow morning, Did you forget it?
M:Oh, I don’t think I ‘ll go to the concert, either.
5. What is the woman going to do tonight?
A. Go to a concert. B. Phone her doctor. C. Prepare for an exam.
第五题选择C。此为邀请场景,男的主动邀,女的不愿去,八成因学习。“男生贪玩,女生好学”是高考听力的考试文化。
6. What is the probable relationship between the two speakers?
A. Teacher and student. B. Classmates. C. Doctor and patient.
第六题选B。两人谈论邀请和考试,这样的场景明显定位到同学关系。
长对话四 Q7-9 问路场景
M: Excuse me, can you tell me how to get to the history museum?
W: Sure, go to the central Park, pass the high school, then turn left at Hilton Hotel, a 5 star hotel. It’s 2, oh no, 3 blocks from here.
M: Thank you, that sounds easy to find.
W: But it’s closed today. It’s not open on Saturday and Sunday, just on weekdays you know.
7. Where does the man want to go?
A. The history museum. B. The Central Park. C, The high school.
第七题选择A。第一题大答案在第一句尤其是问句定位,这种题目已经简单到无以复加的程度。
8. How far away is the place?
A. Two blocks. B. Three blocks. C. Five blocks.
第八题选择B。这题设计从口语语境角度看稍有新意,并且考到了blocks街区这个是用场景词汇。现在的听力录音不再是读台词般一成不变,而是模仿自然口语交流状况,出现大量语气词和口误,然后自我修复,从而揭示观点态度和重要细节信息,对话中的“It’s 2, oh no, 3 blocks from here…”就属这个范畴。考生记住,录音者口误然后马上自我更正,属于明显的语音提示,必有细节考点出现。
9. When is the place open?
A. From Monday to Friday.
B. Through the whole week.
C. On Saturday and Sunday.
第九题选A。结尾对时间的常规考察。这涉及到了西方生活方式,博物馆、图书馆、超市到周末不开门,常识可帮助我们定位到A选项。
长对话五Q10-12 车祸场景
M: Mr. Jackson had a car accident last night. His wife called this morning.
W: How terrible! He was supposed to go to London tomorrow. Is he all right?
M: Not really. He’ll be out of the office for a while. About one week in the hospital I think, and then another two weeks at home.
W: I guess his wife already know it. Well, I know his secretary will have to take on most of his work while he ‘s gone.
10. Why is Mr. Jackson out of the office?
A. He has been injured.
B. He has gone to London.
C. He is looking after his wife.
第十题选择A。一般高考听力车祸场景规律为“车损毁,人没事”,这里男主人公受伤不亲,似有反规律之嫌疑。开始和中间提到了Mr. Jackson出了车祸,然后提到he will be out of office foe a while,所以得知他伤得不轻。
11. How long will he probably be away from work?
A. One week. B. Two weeks. C. Three weeks.
第十一题选择C。先在医院呆一周,然后在家休养两周,简单相加就得知三周离岗,简单至极,侮辱湖南高考学生智商。
12. Who will do his work while he is away?
A. His wife. B. The boss. C. The secretary.
第十二题选择C。结尾出现的尾巴细节,所听即所选,并用I know 作为提示。
长对话六 Q13-15 饮食健康场景
M: Mary, can I sit here?
W: Sure, Man. What are you having for lunch? Let me see, and what’s in your plate? A…, pork and fried chicken again?
M: They are really delicious. And I cannot imagine a meal without meals.
W: You never eat vegetables. That’s not good for you. How’s your cold man, have you seen a doctor?
M: An, it’s nothing serious, and it’s not necessary to bother the doctor. I’m taking the medicine, and I’ll be well soon.
W: You’re so careless about your health.
M: Oh, do not speak to me like my doctor, I know what’s good for me.
W: Oh I finally understand Dr. Kevin’s lecture.
M: What do you mean?
W: He said men lives shorter than women, because they always pay no attention to their health.
13. Where are the two speakers?
A. In a dining hall. B. In a hospital. C. In a lecture room.
第十三题选择A。开头女孩的“What are you having for lunch?”可定位到餐厅场景。但选项A明显是Chinglish, 正确说法应当是Canteen 或 Cafeteria, hall为集会场所。
14. What did the man do?
A. He saw a doctor.
B. He took some medicine.
C. He had vegetables for lunch.
第十四题选择B。A和C的信息都在对话里被否定。女孩说“You never eat vegetables”, 把握对话里的绝对否定词。
15. What does the woman think the man should do?
A. Have meals regularly.
B. Go to Dr. Kevin's office.
C. Pay attention to his health.
第十五题选择C。女孩埋怨男生You’re so careless about your health.最后一句说女人命长是因为 pay attention to the health. 所以应当选择C。这是对话体力稍具人性化的一题。
Section B (7.5 marks)
第二部分 填空题 Q16-20 电话自动应答提示

本题考查考生对时间、名称和字母拼写等细节的考察,书面表达和单词拼写的难度不大, 最后一问要求字母拼写,第一次出现在填空题当中。考生大可一边听录音一边记录单词。今后填空题的单词难度和语音识别难度应会有所增加,甚至出现为满足三词要求适当改写原文的书面表达能力的考核,考生应加以重视,注重单词拼写能力的培养。
16题:7 days
17题:My happy life
18题:8:10
19题:cheaper ticket/ a student ticket
20题:Nathan

When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, "Be sure and take a typing course so when this show business thing doesn't work out, you'll have something to rely on." Mary responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about doing was taking a typing course," she recalls.
The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her morn," I don't know how to use a computer," she admits.
Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as international chairman. "I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says." I didn't want to lecture, but I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in managing the disease."
But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost 40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow u p ---again---and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.
Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she refuses to fall into self-pity. "Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or other," she insists. "It doesn't do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I've come to realize the importance of that as I've grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can
be."

A. She didn't achieve her ambition.
B. She didn't take care of her mother.
C. She didn't complete her high school.

People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions — and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.
Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly(均匀的) across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.
"We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions," Jack said. "Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth."
According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations.
The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of. expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.
It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than did Westerners. "The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions," Jack said. "Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less."
In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.

Part 1V Writing (45 marks)
Section A (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
An apprenticeship is a form of on-the-job training that combines workplace experience and classroom learning. It can last anywhere from one to six years, but four years is typical for most. An apprentice spends the majority of the time in a workplace environment learning the practical skills of a career from a journeyman-- someone who has done the job for many years. The rest of the apprentice's time is spent in a classroom environment learning the theoretical skills the career requires. Being an apprentice is a full-time undertaking.
One of the advantages of apprenticeship is that it does not cost apprentices anything. The companies that hire them pay for school. What's more, it offers apprentices an "earn while you learn" opportunity. They usually start out at half the pay of a journeyman, and the pay increases gradually as they move further along in the job and studies. Near the end of the apprenticeship, their wages are usually 90 percent of what a journeyman would receive. Apprenticeship also pays off for employers. It can offer employers a pool of well-trained workers to draw from.
Despite the advantages, apprentices are usually required to work during the day and attend classes at night, which leaves little time for anything else. Sometimes, they might be laid off(下岗) if business for the employers is slow.
Once they have completed the apprenticeship and become journeymen, they receive a nationally recognized and portable certification and their pay also increases again. Some journeymen continue employment with the companies they apprenticed with; others go onto different companies or become self-employed contractors.

Section B (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage, Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.
Secret Santas
On Christmas morning, Linda wakes up, and tries to imagine the wide-eyed surprise of children in another household as they unwrap the presents she carefully chose for them. Linda has never met the children, but that’s all part of the joy of giving as secret Santas, she says.
"It's an amazing feeling to buy gifts on an anonymous (匿名的) basis," says Linda. "It brings a whole new meaning to the holidays."
Linda and Tony are an American couple living in Toronto, Canada, and Linda did charitable work as a member of the American Women's Club of Toronto. As the name suggests, members are U.S. citizens living in Toronto, who join together for fellowship and community service.
To find her "adopted" family, Linda goes to the local schools and requests a wish list for a family that's struggling to survive. Last year she helped a single mother with three children. The mother works as a cleaning lady in a nursing home.
"The list is always heartbreaking. They have an opportunity to ask for anything and do just the opposite, asking for basic clothes or simple toys," she says. "We always buy the kids a new winter coat, hats, and gloves." She also buys gifts for the parents.
Last year Linda asked the mother for a second wish list--one that didn't include the basics. "Every child should have a Christmas that sticks with them for a lifetime." She purchased iPods for the two older children and a video game system for the youngest."I have learned a very valuable lesson in all of this," says Linda. "Pay attention to what's going on in your own backyard--no matter where you live."
The joy of giving as secret Santas is much sweeter when the gift is anonymous.
