Dear Grandma,

It was nice seeing you at Christmas．You looked so happy!

After losing two grandparents within the past year, I have taken some time to reflect on what is most important．I want to let you know what a positive influence you have been on me．I am the person I am because of you．

I remember being on your farm a lot when I was younger．I remember the projects you planned for us．We painted rocks to represent our family members．We made doll clothes out of colorful socks．We made many "playhouses" in the woods．

We learned that if you left a bucket of soybeans in the rain, you would soon have a bucket of growing beans．We learned that if we helped pick the strawberries in the morning, we'd have them on our ice cream in the afternoon．We learned that some plants have funny names, like the elephant ear plant．We learned that you could make do with what you had．We learned

that making things out of paper and cardboard was more fun than what came inside the packaging．We learned it was OK to get dirty, but Grandma would wash us up before Mom came．

You once made models of everyone's houses, which made me want to be an architect．Another time, you made quilts for all of the grandkids．I still use mine every night．The edge has worn out．

But you taught me how to fix it．

I love and respect you．You are always patient, with a quiet determination．

Grandma, thank you for everything you have taught me．I hope that I am able to pass on all these memories and skills to my children and grandchildren．

Love always,

Kelly

56．After losing two grandparents, the author began to _____．

57．On her grandma's farm, Kelly learned to ______．

58．Kelly's grandma ______．

A．was willing to help others B．was skilled in making things

C．wanted Kelly to be an architect D．disliked the kids' bad behaviors

59．Kelly wrote this letter mainly to ______．

A．send her grandma best wishes for Christmas B．show love and respect for her grandma

C．recall her happy life on the farm D．ask her grandma for help

B

On a February day during an unusually mild winter, I found myself missing the snowy beauty． I enjoyed the feeling that comes from watching snow fall gently from heaven while I'm cosy inside with a good fire burning in the stove．But there were more serious concerns, like the lack of rainfall making our woods more accessible to summer forest fires．Local ski fields and hotels, all dependent on a snowy season, felt sorry for the vacant lifts, empty restaurants and unused snowmobiles．

Then I happened to see three little robins （知更鸟） fly into our yard．What were they doing here West of us, in the Willamette Valley, wild flowers burst this time of year．But here in central Oregon, even if a groundhog （土拨鼠） had wanted to appear, it couldn't have broken through the frozen earth．And yet, these robins had arrived．

Their presence brought me a flow of happiness．It felt like a celebration as I dug into my bag of birdseed and spread a handful on the ground．Above

me, the deep blue sky was cloudless, perfectly quiet but for some smoke from a neighbor's chimney．The lively cold made the air fresh and clean． My robins jumped lightly toward the seed．My soul jumped with them, feeling equally carefree．

Caught up in the moment of spring fever, I checked our snowless flower beds．To my delight, I spotted a green branch sticking out through the brown soil．

Despite the cold, I wasn't ready to go back inside．Just a short meeting with those robins had renewed my spirit．The next day I would return to my outdoor work with a cheerful heart and a hopeful eye for these signs of spring．

60．The author missed a snowy winter because snow could _

A．prevent forest fires B．boom his business

C．promise an early spring D．bring him a good feeling

61．The author felt happy when finding ______．

A．the sky was deep blue with clouds

B．three little robins flew into his yard

C．wild flowers burst in the Willamette Valley

D．a groundhog appeared through the frozen earth

62．We can infer from the passage that the author _____．

A．would enjoy wild flowers the next day

B．thought winter was already over

C．longed for the coming of spring

D．loved robins the most

C

Cooking Kills Four Million People a Year Polluted airborne particles （大气悬浮颗粒）kill 7 million people a year, reports the World Health Organization．

That news may not come as a surprise to anyone who has seen images of chimneys in Beijing, Delhi or Mexico．But those factories-or even the jammed roadways of modem cities-are not the biggest killer．Each year, some 4．3 million people die earlier than they should because of polluted air inside their homes, says the WHO．

What's causing the air inside people's homes to be so poisonous that it kills around 11, 000 people a day Stoves．" Having an open fire in your kitchen is like burning 400 cigarettes an hour．" says Kirk Smith, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley, whose research suggests that household air pollution from cooking killed between 3．5 million and 4 million people in 2013．

Not all stoves cause this kind of harm．The ones Smith's talking about are those that the 3 billion people in the developing world use for heat and cooking, which bum solid fuels such as wood, coal, or crop waste instead of gas．The smoke from those fires produces harmful fine particles and carbon monoxide into homes．Poor ventilation then prevents that smoke from escaping, raising fine particle levels 100 times higher than the limits that the WHO considers acceptable．

Breathing this air day in day out eventually causes a lot of diseases:

more than a third of the 4．3 million die of a stroke, while a quarter die

of heart disease．And around one-third of annual lung disease deaths worldwide

are due to waste from coal stoves．

Exposure tends to be extremely harmful for the people who spend the most

time around the Fire-usually women and young children．In fact, the WHO

reports that household air pollution almost doubles the risk for childhood

lone disease．

63．According to Kirk Smith's research, ______．

A．factories are the biggest killer worldwide nowadays

B．burning 400 cigarettes an hour is extremely dangerous

C．household air pollution from cooking is surprisingly harmful

D．some 4．3 million people die earlier each year than they should

64．What should be the deadly killer in a household kitchen

A．Solid fuels．B．Coal stoves．C．Poor gas．

D．Cooking smoke．

65．The underlined word "ventilation" in Paragraph 4 probably means ______．

A．airing B．cooking C．burning D．cooling

66．The author intends to tell people ______．

A．how to avoid polluted air in their homes

B．to stop cooking in the household kitchen

C．to guard against household pollution from cooking

D．how to prevent childhood lung diseases in household

D

Your dilemma （进退两难） has two aspects: your employer demands loyalty, but you want to help another working woman．The question is whether you can act properly towards both．Your personal view about the unfair maternity policy makes it complicated．In the United States, paid maternity leave （带薪产假） is not an automatic benefit guaranteed by the government．Even unpaid leave is only permitted for a limited period with certain working hours．It's understandable that you feel such divided loyalties, said Gretchen Zetoony, a licensed clinical expert in Virginia．" On the one hand, you want to be careful not to provide information that might discomfort your employer in a negotiation; on the other hand, it's natural to feel sympathetic toward someone in a similar situation, particularly if you see the company's policy as unfair．" she said．

Before you give advice on negotiating a better maternity-leave package, remember to be careful with what you say．"If you are nervous that your employer could lean you had advised her, that should be a guide for you that you may wander into a questionable area．" Zetoony said．

What happens if your colleagues discover that this applicant benefits

simply because of your advice．That may not be formal discrimination but it might create a bad feeling among colleagues who are not working mothers and who didn't join your organization armed with insider tips．"In this case, the risk isn't as much about betraying your employer or your fellow women as possibly creating conflict in the workplace if colleagues notice that you helped an applicant gain an advantage because you share some personal characteristics．" Zetoony said．If that happens, and you find that your colleagues are whispering about you, or openly complaining, address the situation with a calm sit-down．Explain that you felt you had to help this woman pas s her way through the organization’s human-resources maze, and that you would do the same for anyone who asked you for advice．

There might be a better way to help women negotiate maternity leave than advising them． Consider getting together with colleagues who also care about this issue to advocate for better family leave policies within your organization, Zetoony suggests．The more employees who join you, the more likely management are to listen．It is also applicable in other components of an employment offer where you will face such a dilemma．

67．One may fall into a dilemma mainly because ______．

A．he thinks the maternity policy unfair

B．his employer breaks the maternity policy

C．the US government protects his employer

D．his woman colleague asks for a paid leave

68．According to Zetoony, your nervousness might lead to ______．A．your employer's forgiveness B．an even more embarrassing situation

C．your employer's sympathy D．an exposure to your characteristics

69．From the passage, in a similar dilemma, you'd better ____．A．talk to your employer directly

B．put forward more applicable solutions

C．give your colleagues a helping hand sincerely

D．gather more colleagues to work out better policies

70．What's the author's attitude towards maternity leave

A．Supportive．B．Neutral．C．Negative．

D．Critical．

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。

Selfie

Social media and the mobile web have given rise to a strange phenomenon called the selfie．It refers to a picture of yourself, usually shared on any social networking website．

71 Some selfies are extreme close-ups, and others show part of an arm held straight outward．A few of them even feature the subject standing in front of a bathroom mirror．

Everyone takes selfies, but the younger crowd seems to be especially involved in the trend．Young people are relatively heavier digital users．They are interested in staying connected to their friends． 72 There are also kinds of psychological factors driving people to take a selfie and upload it to a social networking site． 73 A quick and easy way to attract other's attention is to get "likes" and comments from friends．Secondly, it's human nature to show off your own great achievements．When you feel good about yourself or look good, it's far too easy to take out your phone and document it all through one or several selfies． 74___ That's right．Sometimes people are bored at work, bored at school, bored at home and even bored on the toilet．Last but not least, social media is about being social! If that means uploading as many selfies

as possible, then so be it．It's fun, and it's a cool way to sort of document your own life．

Finally, there are things to be mindful of when you're posting．It's easy to think you're sharing a photo with a few people． 75 So don't post anything online, selfie especially．

A．There are lots of selfie styles．

B．The rise of selfies has become universal．

C．Social media, to some extent, is the driving force of their selfie activity．

D．The desire to take, post and get "likes" on selfies goes back to a biological behavior．

E．But the whole world of social media is public and every individual can get access to it．

F．There are also people who will take selfies because they have nothing else better to do．

G．The leading factor is that people want to get attention from as many people as possible．

高三模拟考试(二模)生物试卷分析

高三模拟考试（二模）生物试卷分析 一、命题说明 (一)命题指导思想 依据《普通高中生物课程标准》、2009年的《考试大纲》及安徽省的《考试说明》，借鉴近两年新课改实验区的高考试卷，本着有利于检测高三学生的学业水平，有利于高三教师调整和改进教学的原则，命制一套在省内具有较高检测质量，能反映新课程背景下高考命题趋势的模拟检测卷，以发挥安庆市模考应有的检测与反馈、激励与鞭策、预测与导向的功能。 (二)试题设计原则 1．科学与规范的原则：试题要杜绝科学性错误，题干、选项、材料的表述要规范、准确，测试目标明确。 2．新颖与原创的原则：要求试题立意新颖，杜绝照搬各地高考题和模拟题，避免繁、偏、旧的试题，避免过难的试题。要求原创题不少于50%，其余为组合改编题。试题应有适当的难度和区分度。 3．检测与导向原则：通过本次测试检测当前的教与学，并对后期的复习提供一定的指导，并起到激励与鞭策的作用。 (三)试卷结构 1．题型：试卷包括选择题（第1～6题）和非选择题（第29、30、31题）。其中选择题按必修①到③顺序编排。 2．分值：选择题每题6分，计36分，非选择题计54分，生物单科合计90分，占理综总分的30%。 3．各题考查的知识内容、能力要求及难度设计（表一） 预计生物试题总难度在0.5-0.6之间。

1．试卷体现了预期的目标效度 内容覆盖五大模块，突出考查了高考所要求的四大能力。 2．题型多样，图表信息丰富 试题中有柱形图、模式图、实验装置图、系谱图、示意图、表格曲线等，各题型配置合理，充分发挥了不同题型应有的考查功能，为全面、真实、准确地反映学生学业水平提供了依据。 3．试题科学规范、新颖灵活、难度适宜，符合当下高三学生的整体学习状况 4．全卷贯彻新课程理念，约60%左右试题出自原创 全卷注重情境创设，贴近社会生活，具备相应的检测与导向功能，对2009年安徽省新课程背景下的高考进行了有益的尝试和探索。 命题过程中我们反复斟酌，数次修改，打造成卷，最终的定稿为第八稿。由于我们对命制新课程背景下的高考模拟试卷经验不足，加上自身对新的《生物课程标准》、2009年《考试说明》的研究不够透彻，不足之处在所难免。例如第30题第II小题涉及到果皮的遗传是否超纲？选修模块内容如何进行能力立意等等，希望各位同仁提出宝贵意见，相互交流，共同提高。 二、考试情况分析 (一)数据统计 说明：以下所分析的数据来源于两个部分，一是市属八县的抽样数据（以下简称县区），二是从市区119个考场中随机抽取12个考场的抽样数据（以下简称市区）。 1．各小题答题情况抽样统计表（表三）

2018年合肥市二模英语试卷分析

2018年合肥市二模英语试卷分析 2018年合肥市高三英语二模试卷整体难度适中，对听、读、写能力考查全面，对各种技能考查也很到位。试卷的设计和考查的内容依据新课标《考试大纲》和《考试说明》的相关要求，语言知识的覆盖范围控制在“课程标准”中所列语法项目表和“考试说明”中所列词汇表内：对语言运用能力的考查范围和考查方式与考试说明中的能力考查要求保持一致，难度上贴近高考。在考查考生基础知识的同时，侧重考查考生的英语学科核心素养，特别是在语篇的选择上，注意把情感、态度、价值观教育融入题材中，注重社会道德的价值取向，能力考查比较全面。设置问题时，既关注能力的覆盖面，也注重其层次性和梯度。在较高的层次考查学生对语篇信息的整体把握、理解、分析和运用能力。现对整个试卷分析如下： 1.听力部分。 考查考生对口头语言材料的理解以及从中获取信息的能力。要求考生听懂有关日常生活中所熟悉话题的简短独白和对话。听力材料内容符合中学生的认知水平和语言能力。 2.阅读理解。 阅读文章话题如下：A篇介绍4个大剧场；第21题学生定位文章信息不难，但是题干Why的理解不当会误选D。 B篇话题涉及炒股方面，特别是儿子的网上查找上市公司资料，父亲的实地调研公司；儿子的长线投资，父亲的短线交易……这些专业知识学生难以理解，做题难度较大。第24题学生大多根据字面意思选择C，本题语境made money in the dotcom boom but got his fingers when the bubble burst，学生应学会从转折词but 作出正确判断。 C篇讲述了性别差异下导致的语言差异。其中第30题理解作者的态度略难，学生要学会从文本中找出I have decided that …what fun would it be if …,答案就迎刃而解。 D篇主要讲述土壤微生物和人体微生物功能的相似处。其中第33题和34题考查点相似，整体出题比较简单。 七选五是一篇关于当别人不喜欢你时如何应对的文章，很具有实用性，启发性。第36题选项概况总结，37题注重平行结构，39题This的指代，都是解题的突破口。 3.完形填空。是一篇关于单亲妈妈照顾生病孩子，庇护孩子的感人故事。考查考生根据上下文线索，对每题的选项做出合理的分析、判断，使补全后的文章文意畅达、逻辑严密、结构完整的语言运用能力。文章的考查以实词为主，虚词为辅，突出语篇，注重语境。特别是第57题考查了screen的动词语境意思，学生错误率较高。还有60题对trial单词的考查，也是难点。 4.语法填空和短文改错。 语法填空介绍了宣纸这一非物质文化遗产。所考查点以实词为主，兼顾虚词。词法、句法并重，突出词汇基本运用，尤其是动词的时态和非谓语动词的考查。本次短文改错题是一篇关于学生集体外出郊游，女生脚踝扭伤的小短文。试题选材贴近学生生活，试题设计突出真实情境。分别考查了冠词、时态、分词、名词复数、指代统一、定语从句等常见知识点，涉及的语法点全面到位。 5.书面表达。这次作文为回复信件。与全国卷的英语书面表达命题思路相吻合，

高三模拟考试质量分析 一、成绩 二、题型 三、计划 1、 一、本次考试体现出四大特点： 1、与学情摸底考试、xx 省适应性考试相比进步幅度较大。 2、与往年高三年级相比，潜力生多。 3、文理科相比，文科成绩突出。 4、与往年相比，普通班进入种子选手和潜力生的人数多。 二、下一步教学的三项要求： 1、扎扎实实搞好三轮复习。 （1）最对本学期教学的三次模拟考试中反映出的问题进行汇总和评估，看哪些问题是 共性的，哪些问题是必须解决的，哪些问题是不能解决的，以便提高三轮复习针对性和实效 性。 （2）制定好三轮模拟训练的计划。从训练什么内容、解决什么问题、需要多长时 间、采取什么方式等方面做出具体安排。 （3）抓住四项重点。一是对已经做过的典型题型进行必要的梳理和总结，在此基础 上进行针对性训练；二是随时关注近期各种高考模拟试题中 的新题型，连同答案印发给学生，指导学生进行阅读，必要时进行针对性讲评；三是 对照近三年课改地区的高考试题，推测高考方向，审视我 们的不足，及时予以弥补；四是收集高考真题中的客观试题分类进行强化，以达到回归基础的目的。 （4）加强对学生后期复习的指导工作。比如查阅错题本、反思模拟考试中存在的问题、记 忆相关知识等。 2、提高试卷讲评的效度。 （1）两类问题必讲。一类是教师认为的重点知识和典型题型；一类是学生存在的共性 问题。 （2）试卷讲评的基本原则：即讲答案，注重规范；讲问题，注重纠错；讲知识，注 重强化落实；讲思路，注重培养能力。 （3）两类问题的讲评方法 第一类问题的讲评方法：着重放在考了什么、怎么考的以及如何做答的三个方面。条件允许的情况下可进行适当的拓展和延伸，或进行必要的 变式训练，以达到知识迁移和举一反三的目的。 第二类问题的讲评方法： 第一种方法。首先由教师指出问题所在，然后引导学生从多角度分析产生问题的原因， 最后提出解决问题的办法。 第二种方法。先让存在问题的学生暴露思维过程，然后针对错误的思维过程进行剖析， 从而澄清错误认识，从中吸取教训。 第三种方法。教师先给出标准答案，然后让学生对照标准答案进行反思，最后在反思的基础上进行归纳和总结 一、总体评价 2011 学年高三语文市二模考试题较规范，没有偏题，试题的结构、考试内容分布、试题类型分布与《浙江普通高中新课程实验语文学科教学指导意见》及《2011 年普通高考考试说明》中的要求基本相符，知识点全、覆盖面广，全面考查了学生“识记”“理解”分析综合“”鉴赏评价“表达应用”“探究”等能力。既体现了新课程高考的要求，也考虑了目前高三学生的实际情况，具有一定的区分度，能暴露出教与学中存在的问题，也能明确下阶段努力的方向。 二、学生答题情况及原因分析 （一）语言文字运用试卷抽样调查（以下各题抽样都来源于13个班级学生）

2017年高三二模英语试卷分析 (1)

2017届高三二模试卷分析 高三英语组 一、整体情况分析 高三的第二次模拟，同学们的分数已经揭晓。就英语科的命题而言，质量还是相当不错的，难易度上把握得很好，基本上吻合全国卷英语试题的难度，注重考查学生的语言基础知识积累和在语境中运用语言的能力。试卷在选材上注重题材、体裁的多样性，文章内容贴近生活、贴近实际，具有积极的情感态度导向,完全体现了英语学科高考的命题特点。 二、全校总体情况 针对我校实际情况，加之英语基础薄弱。本次考试成绩不理想，最高分为135.5分，120分以上：16人；及格人数：119人；80-89分数段的人数：34人。 三、具体题型分析 （1）听力 听力部分整体得分率很低，总体而言，本次听力难度较一模大些。考试中错误较多的是第4、5、6、12、13、15、17、20题等。主要原因有：本次听力题目与材料相比，比较活，转一点弯；语篇理解能力不强，对特殊场景的关键词把握不准；审题不够仔细。 从主要的失分题型中，说明我们在以后的教学中不仅要进一步加强听力训练和方法指导，培养学生的预测和捕捉关键信息，以及综合理解语言信息的能力，还得夯实学生基础，提高学生的语言基本功，

从而提高语言理解能力。 （2）阅读理解 此次4篇阅读难度适中，但得分率也不高，错题主要集中在21、22、26、28、30、34等小题，主要原因是学生在查找个别细节、猜测词义、推理判断、理解能力等方面仍然较弱，学生不善于利用有效的信息进行排除和合理的推断，没有掌握如何从整体上、宏观上把握文章的脉络，明确段意，理解文章中心和作者的写作意图的技巧。另外还存在其它原因：1.部分学生基础薄弱，阅读速度不够，造成阅读时间不足，文章来不及细读；2.学生词汇量不够，造成理解难度增大，解题正确率低；3.分析信息，处理信息能力差，无法合理分析关键信息，提取有效信息，耗费了很多时间，结果事倍功半；4.知识面陕窄。今后应更加注重学生读的能力的训练。 （3）七选五 七选五难度中等，基本符合七选五出题规律。但是学生得分也不高，一般是6-8分，主要错题是37题。学生在逻辑与连贯方面多加强，多注意前后句的中心词及逻辑。 （4）完型填空： 是一篇夹叙夹议的文章，完型是考查学生在阅读理解的基础上对语篇的连贯性、词汇、语法的综合运用情况。完形填空的得分率不高，丢分的集中在47、48、49、50、51等小题，从失分率高的题目可以看出，主要是学生没有联系上下文来解题以及对个别词掌握的不够；另外个别学生未真正把握整个语篇含义就做题导致失分；还有就是大
