II. Grammar and Vocabulary

Section A

Directions: Read the following two passages. Fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word. For the other blanks, fill in each blank with one proper word. Make sure that your answers are grammatically correct.

(A)

Accidents happen almost everywhere every day. Some accidents are not serious and some really are. We read about such accidents nearly every day in the newspapers. And people usually think that accidents take place only on the roads or highways until they (25) ______ come across accidents in their homes or even at work places. As a matter of fact, home accidents are just as common as those we see and hear on the roads, some of (26) ______ cause even much more serious consequences. Because very few home accidents are reported, people come to think that there are few accidents that happen in homes.

There (27) ______ (be) many serious cases where people fall to their deaths from high-rise flats so far. In most cases, children and women often fall over while (28) ______ (step) down the stairs. Old people may slip on wet floors, getting badly hurt or even killed, if they are not careful.

Nowadays there are a lot of modern electrical appliances at home (29) ______ ______ rice cookers, micro waves and washing machines, which make life easy for the modern housewives. These appliances can kill people (30) ______they are used in the proper way. Gas stoves used for cooking are also dangerous if they are not properly used. They may cause burns or, in more serious cases, even fires.

But all such accidents (31) ______ be stopped if we are careful and follow simple rules of safety. For example, it is unwise for people to try repairing their own electrical appliances if they do not know how to repair them. Therefore, it is safer and more reliable (32) ______people get them repaired by an electrician.

(B)

A study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign students. It shows that nearly all these students considered (33) ______ (understand) spoken English, especially in the first few weeks, to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by speaking or communicating. Writing then increased as a big problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they (34) ______ (expect) to hand in. And at the same time, reading remained as a significant problem.

The information (35) ______ (gain) helped us in determining where special attention should be paid to in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation, we considered it important to note (36) ______ seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching or teacher-centered English learning in their own country. It would be self-defeating (37) ______ (use) the same method, especially if it has failed in the past or it is too complicated to follow or imitate, (38) ______ it might reduce motivation and interest. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.

(39) ______ variety of activities was also regarded as a way of maintaining or increasing motivation and interest. Several years ago we had the first timetable that operated throughout the course of English learning, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about half-way through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, and we had to explore a much (40) ______ (effective) way of English learning, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.

Section B

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

John Nash, a Nobel Prize winner and mathematical genius whose struggle with mental illness was documented in the Oscar-winning film “A Beautiful Mind”, was killed in a car accident on Saturday. He was 86. The accident __41__ when the taxi Nash was traveling in ran into another car on the New Jersey Turnpike. Neither of the two drivers involved in the accident underwent life-__42__ injuries.

At Princeton, Nash published a 27-page essay about the field of game theory, which led to __43__ in economics, international politics, and evolutionary biology. His signature solution found that competition among two opponents is not necessarily governed by zero-sum logic. Two opponents can, for instance, each achieve their maximum __44__ through cooperating with the other, or gain nothing at all by refusing to cooperate. This simple understanding is now regarded as one of the most important social science ideas in the 20th century, and a proof to his almost unique __45__ gifts.

But in the late 1950s, Nash began a slide into mental illness and each therapy failed to cure him, and for much of the next three decades, Nash __46__ freely on the Princeton campus, scratching his hands on empty blackboards and staring blankly ahead in the library. Robert Wright remembers Nash as “some math genius that went crazy” who wore colorful shoes and quietly watched people.

His mental illness removed him __47__ from his work. By the time Nash was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994, he hadn’t published a paper in 36 years.

But like a child cured of a terrible dream by the switch of a light, Nash recovered from his illness seemingly by choosing not to be sick anymore. Five years later, the __48__ of the film “A Beautiful Mind”, based on Sylvia Nasar’s 1998 book of the same name, expanded Nash’s__49__ life story to an international audience. He continued to work, travel, and speak at conferences for the rest of his life.

It’s tempting to wonder what Nash might have __50__, had mental illness not robbed him of so many productive years. “Because t he ideas I had about super natural beings came to me the same way that my mathematical ideas did,” said Nash. “So I took them seriously.”

III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Why girls do better at school than boys?

For centuries, boys were top of the class. But these days, that’s no longer the case.

A new study by the OECD, a club of mostly __51__ countries in Europe and North America, examined how 15-year-old boys and girls performed at reading, mathematics and science. Boys still get somewhat better __52__ at maths and physics, and in other science courses the genders are roughly __53__. But when it comes to the students who really struggle and suffer at school, the difference is __54__: boys are 50% more likely than g irls to fall short of basic standards in all three areas.

__55__, why are girls performing better at school than their male classmates?

First, girls read more than boys. Reading proficiency(熟练) is the basis upon which all other learning is built. When boys don’t do well in reading, their __56__ in other school subjects suffers too.

Second, girls spend much more time on their homework and out-of-class learning. __57__, girls spend five and a half hours per week doing homework while boys spend a little less than four and a half hours. Researchers suggest that doing homework __58__ by teachers is linked to better accomplishment in maths, reading and science. Boys, it appears, spend more of their free time in the __59__ world; they are 17% more likely to play cooperative online games than girls every day. They also use the internet more.

Third, peer __60__ plays a role. A lot of boys decide early on that they are just too cool for school. They adopt a so-called concept of masculinity (男子气概) that includes a disregard for __61__, which means they’re more likely to be rude and noisy in class. Teachers mark them down for this. In anonymous(匿名的) tests, boys perform better. In fact, the gender gap in reading __62__ by a third when teachers don’t know the gender of the pupil they are marking.

So what can be done to close this gap? Getting boys to do more homework and cut down on screen-time would help. And offering boys a __63__ to read non-fiction would help too: they’re

keener on comics and newspapers. But most of all, abandoning gender stereotypes (旧模式) would __64__ all students. Thus, boys in all countries with the best schools read much better than girls. As we know, girls in Shanghai, Singapore and Seoul are good at mathematics, and they __65__ boys from anywhere else in the world.

Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

In job interviews, we’re often asked about our strengths and weaknesses. And, as a matter of fact, most of us know automatically how to respond.

Common wisdom tells us to use faux weaknesses, which means things that are strengths described as negatives and turned into positives. You might even be able to change your weakness into a skill for a job you’re not fully qualified for.

In America, in a championship game you are unlikely to see athletes showing weakness. If the athletes become hurt in this game, they will hide their injuries —they don’t want their competitors to know their weak spots. But there is absolutely no need for us to act like this in business affairs.

At work and in business, you can have shortcomings because these can be overcome and turned into strengths. The o nly fatal thing is to not realize that all your weaknesses can be made strong. Of course, to make up for shortcomings, you must first be aware of what your weaknesses really are.

Have you ever wondered what has happened when you interview for a job you’re fully qualified for, but it goes to someone who doesn’t seem to be qualified at all? How would that person get the job when he had none of the qualifications listed in the job ad?

That applicant figured out the business pain point that is seldom, if ever, mentioned in the job ad, and then how to address it. He didn’t talk about how h e met each of the requirements on the job ad. He had none of the qualifications. He asked questions instead. He asked probing (探询的) questions to learn more about the business pain. By doing so, this less-qualified person soon learned that the hiring managers needed something different from what was listed in the job ad.

Not accepting the job ad as an unquestionable truth is the key. There is no reason to think that hiring managers actually know what they need when they write job ads. They may need someone c ompletely different from what they describe. That is why you can get a job that you’re not qualified for.

66. The underlined word “faux” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to “______”.

A. incorrect

B. illogical

C. false

D. imaginary

67. What exactly does the author advise you to do when you are a weak candidate for a job?

A. Don’t ask questions if you think you are a weak candidate.

B. Ask questions about the job until you find you have something to offer.

C. D on’t let your interviewer know your weaknesses but tell him your strengths.

D. Ask questions according to the job description to see if you can be a qualified candidate.

68. Why does the author think an applicant can get a job that he’s not qualified for?

A. Because hiring managers may change their mind in the job interview.

B. Because hiring managers may actually need someone who can ask questions.

C. Because the applicant may not know that he actually has the required qualifications.

D. Because hiring managers may not know what they actually need when writing the ad.

69. What is the passage mainly talking about?

A. You can change you weaknesses into strengths in job interviews.

B. Don’t expose your weaknesses but show your strengths in job interviews.

C. Find out the business pain point not mentioned in the job ad in job interviews.

D. Hiring managers usually don’t know what qualifications they really need.

(B)

Ord inary People Change The World!

70. Penguin Group and TFK have partnered together to ______.

A. show students the inspiring lives of historic figures

B. make the world a better place for teachers and students

C. provide teachers with some useful materials and information

71. To accomplish the exciting program Star Wars Rebels, students need to ______.

A. complete a tough mission

B. have the spirit of rebellion

C. have the spirit of cooperation

D. explore the moon and lunar eclipses

72. What’s the chief purpose of the magazine Ultimate Spiderman ?

A. To encourage kids to learn about facts of interesting real-life spiders.

B. To activate kids to become everyday heroes in real life.

C. To tell interesting tidbits about the creation and evolution of Spider-Man.

D. To solve a challenging “Spider -Cycle” maze and uncover a mystery clue .

73. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Mysterious Island is a film made by TIME For Kids and its partner.

B. The “Island of Ideas” program aims to cultivate creativity and imagination .

C. Teacher’s Guide includes students’ discussions, activities and reproducibles.

D. Ultimate Mysterious X encourages students to uncover the treasure of ideas.

(C)

Mapping Antarctica

Antarctica was on the map long before anyone ever

laid eyes on it. Nearly 2,400 years ago, ancient Greek

philosophers such as Aristotle believed that a great

continent must exist at the bottom of the world. They

thought it was needed to balance out the continents

at the

top of the world. In the 1500s, mapmakers often included a fanciful continent they referred to as Terra Incognita (Latin for “unknown land”) at the bottom of their maps. But it was not until the 1800s ---- after explorers had sighted and set foot on Antarctica ---- that mapmakers got down to the business of really mapping the continent, which is one-and-a-half times the size of the U.S..

While the coastline could be mapped by ships sailing around the continent, it took airplanes ---- and later, satellites ---- to chart Antarctica’s vast interior (内陆). That job continues today. And it is a job that can still require a mapmaker, or cartographer, to put on boots and head out into the wild.

Cole Kelleher is familiar with that. He is a cartographer with the Polar Geospatial Center

(PGC), which is based at the University of Minnesota and has

a staff at McMurdo Station. PGC teamed up with Google to use

the company’s Trekker technology to capture images of

Antarctica for the Internet giant’s popular feature, Street

View. A Trekker camera, which is the size of a basketball, is

set about two feet above a backpack. The camera records images

in all di rections. “It weighs about 50 pounds. I was out for

two and a half days, hiking 10 to 12 hours each day,” says Kelleher. It was hard work, but really an incredible experience.” According to Kelleher there are plans to use the technology to create educational apps for museums.

The PGC staff at McMurdo Station provides highly specialized mapmaking services for the U.S. Antarctic Program. For one project, Kelleher used satellite images to map huge cracks in the ice. That helped a team of researchers know whether they could safely approach their field camp on snowmobiles. Another recent project was to help recover a giant, high-tech helium(氦气) balloon used to carry scientific instruments high into the atmosphere. These balloons are launched in Antarctica because there is no danger that they will hurt anyone when they fall back down to Earth. Using satellite images, Kelleher and colleagues created maps of where the balloon could be found.

Antarctica may no longer be Terra Incognita, but it still holds countless mysteries. Cartographers and the maps they make will continue to be essential in helping scientists unlock those secrets.

74. From the passage, we can infer that Antarctic was on the map in the 1500s when ______.

A. mapmakers knew it was much larger than the U.S.

B. Aristotle named the continent Terra Incognita

C. no one had ever seen or been to the continent

D. it was such an interesting continent as was often referred to

75. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. It needs much work for the mapmakers to head out into the wild.

B. The interior can only be mapped by planes and satellites.

C. It is relatively easy to map Antarctica’s coastline by ships.

D. Antarctic is a vast but still mysterious continent.

76. The Polar Geospatial Center (PGC) works with Google initially ______.

A. to capture images of Antarctica for Street View

B. to test the company’s Trekker technology

C. to create educational apps for museums

D. to hike for an incredible experience

77. The fourth paragraph mainly talks about ______.

A. satellite images which are used to map huge cracks in the ice

B. a high-tech helium balloon for carrying scientific instruments

C. how to safely approach the researchers’ field camp and the balloon

D. the specialized mapmaking services provided by the PGC staff

Section C

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

When did you last visit a shopping mall? In many places, the answer would be “last weekend.” Some people go even more often. Why? Shopping malls offer goods and services all in one place: food, clothing, things for their houses, entertainment, even medical services. So, are they one of the highlights of modern civilization? Environmental activists would say no and would go even further, arguing that consumer behavior is causing a huge environmental disaster. They cause consumers’ ignorance of the side effect of their shopping ---- urban sprawl (蔓延).

Social scientists agree that patterns of development have changed the landscape a lot. Before 1950, most people lived in towns or cities and either walked to work or took public transportation. Only very wealthy people had automobiles. Farmers lived in rural areas or far-away villages and came into town only when they needed things they couldn’t produce themselves. If you stared at the landscape you would see towns surrounded by the countryside.

Now automobiles become affordable and people are quick to make use of them. Ambitious workers could live in suburbs, just outside cities, which have started to grow rapidly. As long as there is lots of cheap land there, no one pays much attention to the usage of that land. Malls, fast food restaurants, cinemas, and such spread out in large, flat buildings. These one-storey buildings and their parking lots take up too much space. Many farmers think they are better off selling their land than growing crops. No one has realized once the land is built up in urban sprawl, the good farming land will be ruined forever. There is no way to preserve it.

Only in recent years have people come to miss the old way of life as they have looked into the problems of unconditional growth. Now people realize that urban sprawl has come with serious environmental problems. The bad effect s that sprawl brings about include air and water pollution,

loss of agricultural land, traffic jams, and so on. Many scholars think it’s time to analyze the problems better so we can develop proper policies to control further sprawl. Some think the best way to do is to educate citizens.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)

78. What does the underlined word “They” refer to in the first paragraph?

79. In the past, farmers in the countryside only went to towns or cities to ______.

80. Besides the mobility made possible by automobiles, what other two factors have led to the

unconditional growth?

81. Now people come to realize the importance of protecting environment and dealing with the serious

problem brought about by ______.

Section B

Directions: In Section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.

I saw a really good video last night when I was taking care of the kids. My sister asked me to look after my two nieces for a couple of hours while she went to the doctor’s. They’re both nine years old --- they’re twins. I was a bit tired but I know they love watching films, so on my way to the house I went to the video shop and rented a Disney classic. I’d seen it myself 20 years ago when I was their age. So I was sure they’d enjoy it, and I was right. My nieces love dogs and as the film is about two dogs which fall in love, they sat in front of the TV for over an hour without moving! It’s a complicated love st ory because one of the dogs lives in the rich part of town and is very carefully looked after and has everything a dog could want, but the other is a street dog who lives on the poor side of town and has nothing. So it’s a bit like Romeo and Juliet! But of course it’s a Disney film, so although there are some sad moments when we all cried, ther e’s a happy ending. Everybody who’s seen the film always remembers the scene when the two dogs are eating a plate of bone which ends in a kiss!

(Now listen again, please.)

Questions:

11. When did the speaker first see the Disney classic?

12. Why did the speaker think it was a good film for the girls?

13. What is the rented Disney film mainly about?

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.

Now it’s time for BBC Brief News.

First, teens go online. Some 15 million European children under 18 have long been using the Internet for school work now, games and music according to research done by Jackson’s “Net-ratings”. The study covered Britain, Germany, France, Italy and S pain. Experts advised parents to limit the time their kids spend online and keep them away from chat rooms.

状元考前提醒 拿到试卷：熟悉试卷 刚拿到试卷一般心情比较紧张，建议拿到卷子以后看看考卷一共几页， 有多少道题，了解试卷结构，通览全卷是克服“前面难题做不出，后面易 题没时间做”的有效措施，也从根本上防止了“漏做题”。 答题策略 答题策略一共有三点： 1. 先易后难、先熟后生。先做简单的、熟悉的题，再做综合题、难题。 2. 先小后大。先做容易拿分的小题，再做耗时又 复杂的大题。3. 先局部后整体。把疑难问题划分成一系列的步骤，一步一 步的解决，每解决一步就能得到一步的分数。 立足中下题目，力争高水平 考试时，因为时间和个别题目的难度，多数学生很难做完、做对全部题目，所以在答卷中要立足中下题目。中下题目通常占全卷的80%以上，是试题的主要构成，学生能拿下这些题目，实际上就是有了胜利在握的心理，对攻克高档题会更放得开。 确保运算正确，立足一次性成功 在答卷时，要在以快为上的前提下，稳扎稳打，步步准确，尽量一次 性成功。不能为追求速度而丢掉准确度，甚至丢掉重要的得分步骤。试题 做完后要认真做好解后检查，看是否有空题，答卷是否准确，格式是否规 范。 要学会“挤”分 考试试题大多分步给分，所以理科要把主要方程式和计算结果写在显要位置，文科尽量把要点写清晰，作文尤其要注意开头和结尾。考试时，每一道题都认真思考，能做几步就做几步，对于考生来说就是能做几分是几分，这是考试中最好的策略。 检查后的涂改方式要讲究 发现错误后要划掉重新写，忌原地用涂黑的方式改，这会使阅卷老师看不清。如果对现有的题解不满意想重新写，要先写出正确的，再划去错误的。有的同学先把原来写的题解涂抹了，写新题解的时间又不够，本来可能得的分数被自己涂掉了。考试期间遇到这些事，莫慌乱！

高三英语期末考试质量分析

高三英语期末考试试卷分析 一、试卷特点 本次考试命题的范围、题型以及分值分布和高考试卷相同，也基本体现了高考的命题思路：突出语篇、强调应用、注重交际。试题除完形填空难度较高外，其它题目难度适中，市平均为94，与高考全国卷难度基本相当，试卷上没有出现偏题和怪题，难、中、易题比例适当，有较好的区分度，能真实地反映出学生的语言运用能力，所以这份试卷具有较高的信度和效度。试卷的一些话题，如对话填空，书面表达等，均与牛津高中英语新教材的相关话题相结合。 二、主要失分点及原因分析 （一）各大项得分情况汇总 （本表主要根据省溧中部分学生试卷抽样样本为依据） 从本次考试来看，完形填空和对话填空的失分率较高，说明学生的基础知识还不够扎实，我们在平时的教学中应更注重知识积累。

（二）各项试题失分情况及分析 第一部分：听力 听力题以考查学生简单处理信息的能力为主，另外还考查了学生的归纳综合能力、口语理解能力、以及综合素质能力，其分布如下：

1、5、18等题较为灵活，设置的陷阱很隐蔽，对学生的迷惑性较大，故得分率较低。总体而言，试题难度不大，但得分仅为20.9，我们在以后的教学中要加强听力训练和指导，培养预测能力，通过句子重音来捕捉关键信息能力，以及重视语感的训练和语言的积累。 第二部分：单项选择 考查项目以动词和各种从句为主，其它项目的考查分布均匀，与高考类型基本相符合。 考查目标题号题量 考查能力

动词（7）动词辨析0 动词短语32 1 动词时态26、34 2 情态动词25 1 非谓语动词23、24、 2 主谓一致27 1 名词point 22 1 介词、副词besides 31 1 强调疑问形式29 1 各种从句（4）in that 35 1 which 33 1 whichever 30 1 where 28 1 交际用语如何应答21 1 其中22、27、35的错误率较高。22题考查了come to the point这个短语，但有近一半的学生选择了subject，说明学生平时的语言积累不够，基础知识还不够扎实。27题考查了主谓一致中的就近原则，35题考查的是介词后面的名词性从句，我们在考试之前要求学生以《五年高考三年模拟》为载体对语法进行自主复习，然后通过练习检测学生的复习情况，这两题的失分反映出学生看书不够仔细，在以后的语法复习中我们应特别注意比较特殊的现象。
