I have a cleaner who comes three mornings a week and she also does the ironing.
Coming home to a clean kitchen is wonderful, better than any facial or massage(按摩) treatment, and well worth the money. Recently, I decided to cut out my weekly supermarket visit too, and now have organic food delivered. I use local shops for other groceries, so I never have to
go to the supermarket at all now. Although I like shopping for clothes, having my house cleaned is more important to me.

这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了社区大学的申请条件、如何申请学分课程、非学分课程以及社区大学能提供的服务等等有关的信息。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。由第一个小标题“ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS(入学条件)”下的“All high school graduates and anyone 18 years of age or older, with or without a high school diploma, are suitable for admission.(所有的高中毕业生以及年龄达到18岁或者年龄更大的任何人,有没有高中毕业证都可以申请)”可知,18岁以上的人都可以申请,18岁以下有高中毕业证的人都可以申请社区大学。所以选项C(16岁没有高中毕业证的男孩)是不可以申请社区大学的。故选C。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。由文中的“Find out if you are required for attending the entrance examinations(确认一下你是否需要参加入学考试)”可知,不是每个新生都需要参加入学考试的。故选C。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。由文中的“For information on how to enroll in noncredit courses, click here
(关于如何申请非学分课程,点击这里)”及“Click here for Parking Regulations(点击这里查看停车规则)”可知,这篇文章来自于网络。只有网站上才可以通过click的动作获取信息。A. On an education website.一个教育网站;B. In a newspaper advertisement.报纸广告;C. In a tour guide.旅游指南;D. In a college news report.学校的新闻报道。故选A。

B
Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.
For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents’ home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限制) and have strong opinions about everything.
Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.
But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise. I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.
That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They’d get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.
We explored side roads, catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons.
We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.
I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.
Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey — and the best part of yourself.
24. Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents' home?
A. It was less tiring. B. It would be faster and safer.
C. Her kids would feel less confined. D. She felt better with other drivers nearby.
25. The author stopped regularly on the country roads to _____.
A. relax in the fresh air B. take a deep breath
C. let the kids play with Banner D. take care of the lamb
26. What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?
A. Freeways are where beauty hides.
B. One should follow side roads to watch wild animals.
C. Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one's health.
D. Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life.
27. What does the underlined word “detour” mean?
A. A fast and straight road trip. B. A route which is long and not direct.
C. A pleasant and meaningful tour. D. An unpleasant road trip.
【答案】24. B 25. D 26. D 27. B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。作者通过一次带着小羊羔Banner去父母家的绕道旅行,发现绕道旅行非常有意思。进而更加理解了诗人威廉·斯塔福德曾说过的这句话:人生中在追求目标的道路上,那些绕行路比狭窄的小路更能让我们了解自己。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(
限制) and have strong opinions about everything.(我们走很多人都走的路:最快的,最短的,最简单的路,特别是我单独带着四个吵闹的孩子的时候,他们不喜欢被限制,对什么都很有意见)”可知,他们选择走freeways(高速公路)因为它快。由文章第三段中的“Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.(乡间小路危险,因此我会开的很快,只有不得不停的时候才停。我们会一直走高速路,到达父母家时很累)”可知,高速公路比较安全。故选B。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第五段中的“We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him.(我们每隔一小时就必须停下来,让Banner活动一下,喂喂它)”可知,作者在乡间小路常常停下来的原因是要照顾小羊。故选D。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。第六段内容是讲述我们走在边上的小路上,在齐腰的草丛里捉蚱蜢,或者仅仅看看窗外一群小猪跟着猪妈妈的场景,看看小鱼跳出池塘,都比在高速公路上的旅行好的多。作者感叹“Here was life. And new horizons(这就是生活。新的视野。)”,可知,作者觉得那些场景让他们更接近自然,从而让他们感觉到生活更美好。故选D。
【27题详解】
词义猜测题。由最后一段中的“But that trip with Banner… made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey(但是与Banner的那场旅行使我意识到a detour可能打开旅行最好的一部分)”可知,与Banner的那场旅行是a detour。且But前后形成反义对比,由其前边一句“Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight.(一些旅行必然是快的,直的)”可知a detour是比较耗时的,也不是直达的。选项B(长的,不直达的旅行)与这个意思相符合。故选B。
【点睛】猜测词义题在高考中有三种考查形式:生词猜测词义或熟词生义、猜测一句话的意思、指代关系猜词(代词或者名词)。从近三年考查形势看,三种考查方式同等重要。本文中第四题考查的就是生词猜测词义。这种题型的解法主要是在生词后找到其释义句。由于这句话是名言名句,对这个词的解释放在了文章最后一段,与名言名句形成前后呼应。最后一段中我们利用but前后的词语成反义对比的关系,可以推断出正确答案。
C
Everyone could feel a sudden impulse(冲动) and buy something unnecessary. Then how to avoid it? The best way is to just keep your hands away from tempting products. According to new
research, individuals who touch possible items in stores are more likely to have an increased desire to purchase them than those who keep their hand off the products.
Suzanne Shu and Joann Peck, marketing professors at the University of Wisconsin’s business school conducted studies on the connection between touch and feelings of ownership and the effect of perceived(感觉)ownership on the value placed on an object. For one of the experiments, the experts placed two products, a Slinky toy and a coffee mug in front of the volunteers who were undergraduate students. About half of the participants were allowed to touch the products, while the other half were asked not to touch them. The volunteers then were asked to express their sense of ownership of the products and to report how much money they were willing to pay for each. The results showed that those students who were allowed to touch the objects reported significant increased level of perceived ownership. They also expressed a desire to pay more money to obtain the products.
The investigators also discovered that a sense of very pleasant feelings when touching products, determined how much money consumers were willing to pay. However, if the object did not feel pleasant to the touch, it significantly decreased the amount the buyers were willing to pay.
Researchers said that many stores have already followed the right path. But what can be done while shopping online, when touching of an item is not possible? In this case, the experts say, just picturing in mind that they are touching it and then owning it, will cause greater feelings of ownership, and thus the consumers will be more likely to make a purchase.
When you touch an object, you immediately feel some kind of a connection to it, according to the researchers. That connection stirs up(唤起) an emotional reaction. And that emotion can make people buy something they would never even consider buying if they had not touched it.
28. How does the author develop the text?
A. By providing typical examples.
B. By drawing a conclusion through research.
C. By comparing opinions from different fields.
D. By presenting a cause and analyzing its effects.
29. Which of the following was found in the research?
A. Touching a product affects the customer’s feelings of desire for it.
B. If you are not to spend money, it’s less possible for you to touch the product.
C. The longer you touch the goods, the more desire you have to own them.
D. Shoppers cannot resist the temptation when they meet things they like.
30. What would happen to them when people do online shopping?
A. They immediately feel a connection to it.
B. They will particularly want to touch the products advertised on the Internet.
C. They desire to possess it and do not care how much money they would pay.
D. People’s imaginable ownership led to a greater possibility of purchasing products.
31. What led the researchers to conduct this study?
A. To figure out the connection between touch and feelings of ownership.
B. To satisfy customers’ social needs when shopping.
C. To share the good ideas about avoid impulsive consumption.
D To develop marketing strategies for trade companies.
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章一开始就介绍了要避免冲动的买东西,最好的方式就是不要去触摸它。并且在后续段落中通过一个实验,向大家分析了其背后的深层原因。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。文章一开始就介绍了要避免冲动的买东西,最好的方式就是不要去触摸它。第二段和第三段介绍了Suzanne Shu 和 Joann Peck对触摸及想拥有的欲望之间的关系所做的试验,第四段介绍了实际生活中大家对这一现象的运用,第五段从心理更深层次的角度对这一关系进行了分析。所以作者是通过Suzanne Shu 和 Joann Peck的实验而逐步得出结论的。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中展示实验结果的句子“The results showed that those students who were allowed to touch the objects reported significant increased level of perceived ownership.(结果显示,那些被允许触摸物品的学生报告中显示出有更高水平的感知所有权)”可知,触摸一个物品能影响顾客想要它的欲望。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段中的“just picturing in mind that they are touching it and then owning it, will cause greater feelings of ownership, and thus the consumers will be more likely to make a
purchase.(仅仅想象一下你触摸它、拥有它就可以激起顾客想要拥有它的欲望,因此顾客就更愿意购买它)”可知,在电商世界里,人们想象一下拥有物品的感觉,能提高购买的可能性。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。文章首段提出抑制冲动消费的方法就是不要去触摸它。第二段的举例是来证明这一观点的,且由第二段中的“Suzanne Shu and Joann Peck…conducted studies on the connection between touch and feelings of ownership and the effect of perceived(感觉)ownership on the value placed on an object.(Suzanne Shu与Joann Peck做研究来研究触摸以及想要拥有之间的关系,以及感觉拥有的效果)”可知,他们做研究的目的就是来研究触摸以及想要拥有之间的关系。故选A。
D
A young woman sits alone in a café sipping tea and reading a book. She pauses briefly to write in a nearby notepad before showing her words to a passing café waiter: “Where are the toilets please?” This is a familiar scene in Tokyo’s so-called “silent cafés”, where customers are not allowed to speak, and only communicate by writing in notepads.
The concept rises from a desire to be alone among young Japanese, a situation brought by economic uncertainty, a shift in traditional family support structures and the growing social isolation. The phenomenon is not limited to coffee shops but covers everything from silent discos, where participants dance alone wearing wireless headphones connected to the DJ, to products such as small desk tents designed for conversation-free privacy in the office. One Kyoto company even offers single women the opportunity to have a “one woman wedding” — a full bridal affair, complete with white dress and ceremony, and the only thing missing is the groom. The trend has its own media expression — “botchi-zoku”, referring to individuals who consciously choose to do things completely on their own.
One recent weekday afternoon, Chihiro Higashikokubaru, a 23-year-old nurse, travelled 90 minutes from her home, to Tokyo on her day off in order to enjoy some solo time. Speaking quietly at the entrance of the cafe, Miss Higashikokubaru said: “I heard about this place via Twitter and I like the idea of coming here. I work as a nurse and it's always very busy. There are very few quiet places in Tokyo, and it's a big busy city. I just want to come and sit somewhere quietly on my own. I’m going to drink a cup of tea and maybe do some drawings. I like the idea of
a quiet, calm atmosphere.”
The desire to be isolated is not a new concept in Japan, home to an estimated 3.6 million “hikikomori” — a more extreme example of social recluses (隐士) who withdraw completely from society.
32. What is special about the “silent cafes”?
A. It provides various tea and books.
B. People are not allowed to communicate.
C. It offers service by writing not by speaking.
D. It has attracted many popular young people.
33. Which of the following brings about the idea of being alone in Japan?
A. The stable economic situation. B. The increasing social isolation.
C. The rapid development of the Internet. D. The rising demand for privacy.
34. What do we know about Higashikokubaru?
A. She doesn’t like to be a nurse. B. She doesn’t like the life in big cities.
C. She enjoys her solo time in a quiet place. D. She travelled to Tokyo on her work days.
35. What is the best title of the passage?
A. A new concept in Japan B. Social recluses in Japan
C. Silent cafes D. Lonely Japanese
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了日本如今兴起的“沉默的咖啡馆”的相关信息,特殊服务方式以及原因。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“This is a familiar scene in Tokyo’s so-called “silent cafes”, where customers are not allowed to speak, and only communicate by writing in notepads.(在东京所谓的“沉默咖啡馆”里,这是司空见惯的情景。这些咖啡馆粗看与普通咖啡馆无异,但进店的顾客不可讲话,只能通过在便签本上写字来交流。)”可知,“沉默的咖啡馆”的特别之处是它通过写作而不是说话来提供服务,故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“The concept rises by a desire to be alone among young Japanese, a situation brought by economic uncertainly, a shift in traditional family support structures and the growing social isolation.(这一概念被年轻日本人日益强烈的独处的欲望,经济不稳定、传统家庭支持模式的转型以及日益严重的社会孤立提升。)”可知,严重的社会隔离是日本人独处欲望增强的一个原因。故选B。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I just want to come and sit somewhere quietly on my own. I’m going to drink a cup of tea and maybe do some drawings. I like the idea of a quiet, calm atmosphere.(我只想找个地方自己一个人安静地坐坐。我打算喝杯茶,也许会随手画点画。我喜欢这个安静平和的氛围的创意,这种气氛很难得。)”可知,Higas Hikokuaru喜欢在一个安静的地方独处,故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段介绍了“沉默咖啡馆”中一个常见的场景,第二段介绍了“沉默咖啡馆”的概念的流行原因以及被广泛接受的程度,第三段用一个实例来验证第二段中的分析,最后一段介绍了这种概念的渊源。所以本文全部围绕“沉默咖啡馆”这一概念而展开。故选C。
【点睛】主旨大意题是篇章阅读一个主要的考察方式,标题题(best title)是其一个典型的考点,也是高考阅读中每年的必考题。主旨大意题解题技巧是不要被文章细节所干扰。一般有两种方式解题:一是看首尾段,根据首尾段内容总结主题思想;二是看每段段首句,根据所有段首句总结主题思想。例如本文中的第四题,这是一篇说明文,文章一开始就介绍了“沉默咖啡馆”这一概念及现象,剩下段落都是对它的解释。故选C。
第二节 七选五:根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。(共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)

【答案】61. on 62. set 63. dressing 64. an 65. Visiting 66. shared 67. faced 68. gradually 69. businessmen 70. that
【解析】
这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章讲述了阿里巴巴的创始人马云卸任的事件,并向读者分享了马云创业的经历与意义,并通过马云的话让大家感受到梦想能给我们克服千难万险的勇气。
【61题详解】
考查介词。句意:阿里巴巴集团的主席马云,在教师节这天从他20年前创建的电子巨头公司卸任。空格位于表示时间的“Teachers’ Day(教师节)”的名词前,所以应填介词。教师节指9月10日这一天,在具体的某一天使用介词on,故填on。
【62题详解】
考查一般过去时。句意同上。这是一个定语从句,“he ___2___(set) up 20 years ago.”修饰名词the e-commerce giant(电商巨头),并且在从句中,我们由时间状语20 years ago可知,从句中的谓语动词应用一般过去时。从句中he与set是主动关系,使用主动语态。故填set。
【63题详解】
考查动名词。句意:这位55岁的商人在告别晚会上化妆成摇滚影星,以此来展示他将准备做一些新的事情。dress up(装扮,打扮)是一个动词短语,它位于介词by之后,所以应用动名词形式。故填dressing。
【64题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意:事实上,他白手起家的故事是尝试做一些不同的事情的典范。空格位于系动词后,名词example之前,所以填不定冠词。example(例子)是单数形式,并且是以元音音素开始的,故填不定冠词an。
【65题详解】
考查现在分词作状语。句意:在1995年参观美国的时候,马云看到了互联网并有了创建一家自己的网上交易的网站的想法。主语Ma与visit是主动关系,并且就在在参观的时候发现的互联网,这两个动作是同时进行的,所以这句话应用现在分词作状语。故填Visiting。
【66题详解】
考查过去分词作定语。句意:1999年,他与一群朋友在一间合租的公寓内建立了阿里巴巴。apartment(公寓)与share(分享)之间是被动关系,所以使用过去分词作定语。故填shared。
【67题详解】
考查过去分词作状语。句意:尽管遇到很多挑战,但是公司逐渐将电商带进了中国。主语the company与face之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词作状语。故填faced。
【68题详解】
考查副词作状语。句意同上。空格处单词修饰动词brought,所以应填副词形式。故填gradually。
【69题详解】
考查名词的复数形式。句意:他的成功鼓舞了很多中国科技商人。businessman(商人)是可数名词,a number of(许多)修饰可数名词的复数形式。故填businessmen。
【70题详解】
考查强调句。句意:是梦想让我们从不害怕挫折。 “The dreams keep us never afraid of setbacks.”是一个完整的句子,所以可知文章中句子使用的是强调句式,主语是the dreams,指物,故填that。
第四部分 写作(共两节,满分35分)

Three years ago I failed a important exam and become a student in an ordinary school. Although I felt disappointing at the shabby campus and the poorly-equipped classroom, but I found the teachers patient and considerate. Beside, I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in class and decided to make the best of it. I worked hardly and got along well my teachers and classmates. Whenever I had difficulties, they were always available. Soon, I became one of the top student in
my class, that greatly increased my confidence and got me motivated. My experience tells me that it is not what you are given but how you make use of it that determine who you are.
【答案】a→an
become→ became
disappointing→disappointed
Although或but去掉
Beside→Besides
hardly→hard
well后面加上with
student→students
that→which
determine→determines
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者三年前考试失利,进入了一所普通的学校。一开始作者很失望,但是他发现老师们很好。因此他努力学习,在老师们的帮助下变成了优秀生,重获自信。由此让读者领悟到决定你将成为什么的不是你拥有什么,而是你如何利用所拥有的东西。
【详解】1. 考查不定冠词。句意:三年前,我在一场重要的考试中失利,变成了一所普通学校的学生。“important(重要的)”是以元音音素开始的,所以其前的不定冠词应使用an。故将a改为an。
2. 考查一般过去时。句意同上。and前后连接两个并列的成份,由“Three years ago”以及and前的failed可知,and后的become也应使用一般过去时。故将become改为became。
3. 考查形容词。句意:尽管我对破旧的校园和配备不好的教室很失望,但是我发现老师们很有耐心,且善解人意。“-ing”形容词意为“令人……的”,主要用于说明事物,描述事物对人的影响。“-ed”形容词意为“感到……的”,主要用于说明人,描述人对事物的感受。这句话中主语是I,根据句意,描述我对学校和教室感到失望,所以应用-ed形式的形容词。故将disappointing改为disappointed。
4. 考查状语从句的连词。句意:句意同上。这是一个让步状语从句。句中不能同时出现Although与but两个从属连词。所以将Although或but去掉。
5. 考查副词。句意:另外,我喜欢上课时友好的氛围并决定好好利用它。“beside”为介词,意为“在旁边(或附近);与…相比”,其后应接名词性质的词。“besides”意为“另外”,为副词,可直接修饰整个句子。文章中缺少的是修饰整个句子的副词,故将Beside改为Besides。
6. 考查副词。句意:我努力学习并且与老师和同学们相处都很好。“hardly”作为副词,意为“几乎不,几乎没有”,不符合句意。表示“努力学习”,需要使用副词hard(努力地;彻底认真地)。故将hardly改为hard。
7. 考查动词短语。句意同上。“与……相处较好”应翻译为get along well with sb.,宾语要放在介词with后。故在well后加with。
8. 考查名词的数。句意:很快,我在班级里成为了优秀生之一。student(学生)为可数名词,当用于one of后,应使用名词的复数形式。故将student改为students。
9. 考查非限制性定语从句。句意:很快,我在班级里成为了优秀生之一,这大大增加了我的自信心并且给了我很大激励。这是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词为I became one of the top student in my class这句话,所以关系词使用which。故将that改为which。
10. 考查主谓一致。句意:我的经验告诉我不是你被给与了什么决定了你是谁,而是你如何利用你所有的东西决定了你是谁。tells后接的是宾语从句,宾语从句的从句部分又是一个强调句。强调句中名词性短语(what you are given,how you make use of it)做主语,谓语动词应使用第三人称单数形式。故将determine改为determines。
第二节:书面表达(满分25分)

【解析】
【分析】
这主要是一封介绍信,其中包含一部分感谢信的内容。题干中给出了文章需要包含的三个方面,但是对于第二点需要同学们根据自己的知识积累,适当发挥。
【详解】第一步:审题:确定时态和人称。这封信主要分为三部分:第一部分对旅行期间,Jack对你的照顾表示感谢;第二部分介绍今年的国庆节;第三部分欢迎他来中国。时态应用一般现在时和一般过去时为主(一般过去时主要用来介绍今年的国庆节)。全文人称以第一人称和第三人称为主。
第二步:列提纲 (重点词组)
convey my gratitude for…(对……表达感谢);show a great interest in…(对……
很感兴趣); one of the most significant festivals(最重要的节日之一);fall on(落于);a grand military parade(大阅兵);magnificent fireworks display(华丽的焰火表演);mark/ commemorate(纪念)等。
第三步:遣词造句:同学们在写作时不能逐句翻译,可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯,同时要点表述要完整,文章要通顺,准确使用时态和语态。
第四步:连句成文:写作时要适当使用连词、过渡词和插入语,使文章浑然一体。同时恰当而合理地使用一些高级词汇和句型,如定语从句等,以提高文章档次。
【点睛】范文内容完整,要点全面,语言规范,语篇连贯,词数适当,上下文意思连贯,符合逻辑关系。作者在范文中使用了较多句式,如:第二段第一句使用了现在分词作状语;第二段第四句使用了there be句型与不定式做目的状语;第三段第一句使用了if引导的条件状语从句。此外本文还使用了一些高级词汇,如convey my gratitude for; show a great interest in;one of the most significant festivals;fall on 等。全文中没有中国式英语的句式,显示了很高的驾驭英语的能力。另外,文章思路清晰、层次分明,上下句转换自然,为文章增色添彩。
