Ⅰ.完形(2010杭州高級中學高三二模)
The simplest way to say it is this: I believe in my mother. My __1__ began when I was just a kid. I __2__ becoming a doctor.
My mother was a domestic. Through her work, she observed that __3__ people spent a lot more time reading than they __4__ watching television. She announced that my brother and I __5__ watch two to three pre－selected TV programs during the week. Within our free time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and __6__ her written book reports. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later we realized her marks were a __7__. My mother was illiterate.
When I entered high school I was a(n) __8__，but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes. I wanted to __9__ the guys. I went from being an A－student to a B－student to a C－student. One night my mother came home from __10__ her various jobs and I complained about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said, “Okay, I'll give you all the money I make
this week scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy __11__ food and pay the bills.” With everything __12__， you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want. I was very __13__ with that arrangement but once I got through allocating (購買的) money, there was __14__ left. I realized my mother was a financial genius to be able to __15__ our heads and any kind of food on the table, __16__ buy clothes. I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasn't going to get me anywhere. Success required intellectual preparation. I went back to my __17__ and became an A－student again, and eventually I __18__ my dream and I became a doctor.
My story is really my mother's story?a woman with __19__ formal education or property who used her position as a parent to change the lives of many people around the globe. There is no job __20__ than parenting. This is what I believe in.
1．A.belief B．work C．education D．promise
【答案與解析】 A 由首段第1句“I believe in my mother”及末段最后一句“This is what I believe in”可知本文講述的是“我”對母親的“信仰”。
2．A.majored in B．got used to
C．dreamed of D．got tired of
【答案與解析】 C 由倒數(shù)第2段“and eventually I __18__ my dream and I became a doctor”可知“我”自小就“夢想”成為一名醫(yī)生。
3．A.lazy B．easy－going
C．successful D．reliable
【答案與解析】 C 由下文“Success required intellectual preparation”可推知此題選C項。句意為“通過工作，她注意到，成功人士花更多時間在看書上，而不是看電視”。
4．A.spent B．paid
C．took D．did
【答案與解析】 D 此處為避免重復累贅，用did指代前文的“spent a lot more time”。
5．A.could only B．could not
C．must not D．should often
【答案與解析】 A 句意為“她宣布，我們兄弟倆每周只能看兩到三個(由她)預選好的電視節(jié)目”。could only“只能”，符合語境和邏輯。
6．A.read to B．present to
C．teach D．explain to
【答案與解析】 B 由后文“mark them up with check marks and highlights”可知“我們”交給母親的是書面的讀書報告，據(jù)此可排除其他選項。present sth to sb“把某物交給某人”，此句中賓語后移。
7．A.joke B．means
C．tool D．trick
【答案與解析】 D 由后文“My mother was illiterate”可知母親目不識丁，“我們”后來才意識到那些標記原是個“騙局”。
8．A.A－student B．B－student
C．C－student D．D－student
【答案與解析】 A 由后文“I went from being an A－student to a B－student to a C－student”及“became an A－student again”可知“我”入學時是個優(yōu)生。
9．A.get rid of B．hang out with
C．break away from D．keep in touch with
【答案與解析】 B 由but轉(zhuǎn)折可知，后來“我”“墮落”了，喜歡上了高檔衣服和跟其他人出去鬼混。hang out“外出閑蕩”，符合此處語境。
10．A.making B．stopping C．working D．getting
【答案與解析】 C 題意：一天晚上母親“做”完了她繁雜的工作回到家里。work“做；工作”，可用作及物動詞，符合語境。其他選項與job搭配不當。
11．A.your brother B．yourself
C．your sister D．the family
【答案與解析】 D 由“I'll give you all the money I make this week scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms”可推知，母親把她這個星期擦地板和洗廁所賺的所有的錢都給“我”，當然是要“我”為“全家”買食物和付賬了。
12．A.left over B．paid up C．used up D．carried out
【答案與解析】 A 由后文“there was ________ left”可知，母親想把買食物和付賬“剩下的”全部的錢都給“我”。
13．A.angry B．pleased
C．disappointed D．bored
【答案與解析】 B 由后文“but once I got through allocating money”可推知，作者開始聽到這個消息，自然“喜出望外”。其他三項均表示消極、失望的情緒，不合語境，可排除。
14．A.anything B．everything C．something D．nothing
【答案與解析】 D 由上文“With everything ________”可知，本來是剩下的全部都歸“我”，可是一旦我支配完錢(在買食物和付其他賬)后，“什么”也沒剩下。前后對比明顯，故用nothing。
15．A.put an idea into B．give an impression on
C．keep a roof over D．have eyes in the back of
【答案與解析】 C 此處題意為“‘我’意識到母親是位能為我們提供棲身之所和桌上之食的理財天才”。keep a roof over one's head“為某人提供棲身之所”。
16．A.let alone B．let out
C．let in D．leave alone
【答案與解析】 A 題意：母親是位能為“我們”提供食宿的理財能手，“更不用說”買衣服了。let alone“更不用說”，符合句意。leave out“刪除”；let in“允許進入；放……進來”；leave alone“不打擾；聽其自然”。
17．A.guys B．mother
C．studies D．play
【答案與解析】 C 此事過后，作者經(jīng)過反思，把心思重新收回到“學業(yè)”上來。由后文“became an A－student again, and eventually I my dream”可推知。
18．A.made B．fulfilled C．changed D．tried
【答案與解析】 B 由后文“and I became a doctor”可知作者“實現(xiàn)”了兒時的夢想。fulfill“實現(xiàn)”。
19．A.little B．much C．few D．high
【答案與解析】 A 由第2段最后一句“My mother was illiterate”可知母親未接受任何正規(guī)教育。little“幾乎不”，修飾不可數(shù)名詞。few用于修飾可數(shù)名詞。
20．A.more interesting B．less important
C．more important D．less interesting
【答案與解析】 C 由上文“who used her position as a parent to change the lives of many people around the globe”可知“世界上沒有比為人父母‘更偉大和重要的’工作了”。

A．would not have fallen B．had not fallen

A．opposed to B．objected to
C．a(chǎn)re opposed to D．a(chǎn)pproved

A．parted; seek
B．separated; hunt
C．departed; seek D．divided; found out
【答案與解析】 A 考查動詞詞義辨析。題意：十年前，約翰和湯姆在這個飯店入口處分手；約翰去西部尋找發(fā)財?shù)臋C會，而湯姆留了下來。part“分手”；separate“分離”；depart“啟程”；divide“分開”，表示一個整體分成幾份；“尋找發(fā)財?shù)臋C會”為seek one's fortune。
5．He is an independent person. He always________ any offer of help.

Ⅲ.理解(2010 天津)
In the kitchen of my mother's house there has always been a wooden stand (木架) with a small notepad (記事本) and a hole for a pencil.
I'm looking for paper on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can't be the same pencil! The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.
“I'm just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years.” I say to her, walking back into the living－room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. “You still use a pencil. Can't you afford a pen？”
My mother replies a little sharply. “It works perfectly well. I've always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in these days.”
Immediately I can picture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, “One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.”
This story?which happened before I was born?reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is also a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child－free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible (看不到的) exhibits at every meal.
1．Why has the author's mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen?
A．To leave messages.
B．To list her everyday tasks.
C．To note down maths problems.
D．To write down a flash of inspiration.
【答案與解析】 D 細節(jié)題。從“I never knew when I might want to note down an idea” 到下一段的 “and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty” 可知正確答案。
2．What is the author's original opinion about the wooden stand?
A．It has great value for the family.
B．It needs to be replaced by a better one.
C．It brings her back to her lonely childhood.
D．It should be passed on to the next generation.
【答案與解析】 B 推斷題。根據(jù)第3段中“I'm just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years” 可推斷，作者認為the wooden stand該換成更好的了。
3．The author feels embarrassed for ________.
A．blaming her mother wrongly
B．giving her mother a lot of trouble
C．not making good use of time as her mother did
D．not making any breakthrough in her field
【答案與解析】 C 細節(jié)題。最后一段中有“I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child－free time to work” 可知答案。
4．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．The mother is successful in her career.
B．The family members like traveling.
C．The author had little time to play when young.
D．The marks on the breadboard have disappeared.
【答案與解析】 A 推理題。根據(jù)最后一段的第1句“This story?which happened before I was born?reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is also a gifted mathematician” 可以推出正確答案。
5．In the author's mind，her mother is ________.
A．strange in behavior
B．keen on her research
C．fond of collecting old things
D．careless about her appearance
【答案與解析】 B 推斷題。作者通過“a wooden stand with a small notepad and a hole for a pencil”了一位母親對事業(yè)的執(zhí)著和熱愛。

Ⅴ.書面表達(浙江省2010屆高考二輪復習預測與模板)
根據(jù)上圖信息，請以 “Ways to spend the weekend” 為題，用英語寫一篇100～120詞的短文。 要求如下：
1．簡要描述圖中的信息；
2．說明原因 (為了高效學習；鍛煉身體；爭分奪秒……)；
3．談?wù)勀愕目捶ā?br>_______________________________________________________
________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________
【答案】
One possible version：
Ways to spend the weekend
As can be seen from the chart, senior three students have different ways to spend their weekends. Going back home and having a good rest is what most students would like to do, while 25% students choose to study at school during weekends. The fewest students, accounting for 15%, take outdoor activities to spend their weekends.
Various reasons are responsible for their different choices. Those who choose to go back home believe that a good rest does help them relax and work more efficiently during the school time. Outdoor－activity lovers hold the opinion that taking exercise is a wonderful way to refresh themselves. However, a small number of students living far away from home tend to stay at school to save every minute to study.
From my point of view, despite the heavy study pressure, senior three year doesn't necessarily mean studying all the time. Sometimes a good rest and proper exercise can be of vital importance.
書面表達指導
高考英語圖表類寫作
在高考中，圖表類寫作經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)，其內(nèi)容上多為中學生日常生活中熟悉的生活經(jīng)歷，以及社會熱點。圖表類寫作一般可分為三類：敘述類，說明類和議論類。敘述類可包括根據(jù)圖表寫出的日記；說明類可包括個人生平、履歷、通知或交代某些注意事項的留言條，根據(jù)路線圖給人指路和對圖表中數(shù)字進行客觀的分析解釋等；議論類則可指分析圖表中所給數(shù)字，并就這些數(shù)字所反映出的事實做出個人評價。
一、圖表式作文的幾種形式
1．以表格形式：將統(tǒng)計的數(shù)據(jù)或被說明的事物直接用表格形式體現(xiàn)出來，即統(tǒng)計表。
2．以圖形形式A：表示數(shù)據(jù)變化的曲線圖；B：表示數(shù)據(jù)的大小或數(shù)量之間的差異的柱狀圖；C：表示總體內(nèi)部結(jié)構(gòu)變化的扇形圖。
二、圖表式作文寫作分三步
第一步：開門見山地點明本圖表所反映的主題。
常使用的詞匯有：table，chart，figure，graph，describe，tell，show, represent等。
常用句型：
1．The graph / chart / table above shows...
2．From the above graph / chart, it can be seen that...
3．As is shown in the graph...
4．The chart / table shows the differences between...
第二步：分析數(shù)據(jù)間的主要差異及趨勢，然后(在描寫數(shù)據(jù)間變化及總趨勢特征時，可采用分類式或?qū)Ρ仁揭灾С种黝}，并闡明必要的理由)，注意層次。
常用轉(zhuǎn)折，對比及比較的詞匯：
while, but, on the contrary, however, compare with, in contrast to, as...as, the same as, be similar to, difference between, among, more than, less than。
常用描寫趨勢變化的詞匯：
increase, rise, go up, reduce, drop, go down, fall, reach, remain, by / to, slowly, slightly, gradually, sharply, rapidly, the number of..., from...to及比較級、倍數(shù)句型等。
第三步：歸納總結(jié)或發(fā)表評論。
常用詞匯：in a word, in short, generally speaking等。
常用句型：
1．It's clear from the chart that...
2．In summary, it is important...
3．From what has been discussed above, we can draw the conclusion that...
4．Obviously, if we want to..., it is necessary...
5．There is no doubt that attention must be paid to...
三、根據(jù)圖表寫短文，要注意以下幾個方面：
第一，審清題目，根據(jù)要求選擇適當?shù)谋磉_方式和文體。
第二，要注意圖表內(nèi)信息的連接方式。
四、圖表作文的框架
As is shown / indicated / illustrated by the figure / percentage in the table the number of young boys and girls who are under health has been on rise, significantly (rising from the 1990s to nowadays). From the sharp / marked decline in the chart, it goes without saying that young generations are faced with great health problems.
There are at least two good reasons accounting for this. On the one hand, young people now are more addicted into the junk food. On the other hand, many kinds of games are due to the fact that they would spend more time in playing games instead of doing exercises or going outdoors. In addition, parents are responsible for this; even some parents can't set a good example for their children. Maybe there are some other reasons to show it, but it is generally believed that the above mentioned reasons are commonly convincing.
