29、A此处指“价格将降到”，come down (物价)跌落。7Bno more than只有；仅仅。8Aeven if即使。9Cthat此处用以指同一事物。10Bat church表示在教堂里做礼拜，表动作或状态。11D12AD应为spoke to; B意为“参考，涉及”。13D第一空先行词为people，故定语从句的谓语动词要用复数；the number of修饰名词作主语时，谓语动词用单数。14B考查连词的区别。even if即使，表示让步关系；if如果，表示假设关系；unless除非，如果不，表示否定的假设关系；as表示时间或原因。由yes可知应选B项。15D句中make use of用的
30、是被动形式，to help.作目的状语。得分策略经典例题The retired man donated most of his savings to the school damaged by the earthquake in Yushu，_ the students to return to their classrooms.AenabledBit enabledCenabling Denable错因分析本题是对英语句式的考查。本题题干中前后两部分用逗号隔开，而且逗号前面是一个完整的句子，本题极易误选A或B。有考生认为选A是作并列谓语(donated和enabled)，但两个并列谓语之间要
31、有并列连词；还有考生认为选B是两个独立的简单句。但在英语中，两个独立的句子之间不能用逗号隔开，要么用句号或分号，表示两个独立的句子；要么中间加上并列连词，构成并列句；一个完整的句子后面若是逗号，后面的部分一定是从句或其它的修饰成分。因此，本题应选C项。得分笔记英语中的句式结构：(1)简单句简单句有五种基本句式：主语谓语(vi.)主语谓语(vt.)宾语主语谓语(vt.)宾语宾语补足语主语谓语(vt.)间接宾语直接宾语(平时学习中注意积累哪些动词后面接双宾语)主语系动词表语(adj./n.)(2)并列句：由并列连词(and，or，so，but，when，while等)连接的两个或两个以上的句子。并
32、列句的基本句式为：句子并列连词句子。(3)主从复合句：由引导词引导的定语从句，或连接词引导的名词性从句(主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句、同位语从句)，或从属连词连接的状语从句，加上主句，就构成了一个主从复合句。(4)应熟练掌握的英语句式结构：句子；/./并列连词句子()句子，句子()主句从句/从句，主句/主句的前一部分，从句，主句的后一部分()句子，修饰成分/修饰成分，句子()修饰成分包括形容词短语，副词短语，介词短语，with复合宾语结构，独立主格结构，不定式，现在分词，过去分词，从句等。.阅读理解16A推理判断题。根据文章的第二段可知，英国Ashcombe小学告知学生家长，11岁以下的孩子在
33、情感和社交上都还不够成熟，传达爱意的情人节贺卡会让他们感到“困惑”。因此最佳答案为A。17C词义猜测题。根据文章的前两段可知，英国一所小学日前宣布禁止学生互送情人节贺卡，理由是小学生不应过多讨论男女朋友的问题。老师在二月份的学校简讯中提醒家长说，今年在学校发现的任何情人节贺卡将一律被没收。confiscate意为“没收”，与take away同义。18B细节理解题。根据第八段可知，作为家长，Ruth Rice说：“孩子们现在不应该过多考虑情人节这个问题，而应把精力放在学习上。”故答案为B。19D推理判断题。40岁的报刊经销商Rajeev Takyar表示自己“十分愤慨”。他说：“先是玩康克戏和
34、打雪仗在某些学校被禁止，现在又是情人节贺卡。我认为禁送情人节贺卡不利于孩子们社交技能的培养。以后他们怎么去了解各种社会关系？真是荒谬。”由此推断，答案为D。20A标题归纳题。从全文尤其是从本文第一段“A primary school has banned Valentines Day cards because of concerns that young pupils spend too much time talking about boyfriends and girlfriends.”可以看出此题答案为A。21B主旨大意题。文章分析了智力测试的片面性以及有创造力的孩子所具有的特质，写作
35、的目的是鼓励人们培养孩子的创造力。22C细节理解题。从文章第一段第三句“By depending on them to measure intelligence，therefore，we miss out on the talents of many of our most gifted youngsters.”可知，智力测试测试的是人的智力。23A推理判断题。文章第一段讲孩子出生时具有创造潜质，但到了4年级以后创造力就被扼杀了，因此文章暗示现代的教育不利于孩子创造力的发展。24D细节理解题。从“Originality”一项的介绍可得到答案。25A细节理解题。从文章最后一段中的最后一句可知A项
36、正确。得分策略高考英语阅读理解复习策略1兼顾阅读速度和答题准确率考生应该把文章快速浏览一遍，在准确把握文章整体内容的基础上，重点捕捉与题目有关的文章细节，这样才能提高答题的准确率。2抓住关键信息，弱化辅助信息高考阅读理解中文章的长度一般在300词左右，设35个题，因此往往有较多的辅助信息，而且篇幅越长，辅助信息越多。这就要求考生在阅读时不能平均用力，而应该抓住与题目相关的关键信息，不要被辅助信息所干扰和迷惑。3灵活应对长难句和生词在遇到一些结构复杂、难以理解的句子时应该注意，并非每个长难句都与题目有关。如果与题目相关，考生应该大体分析一下句子成分，找出句子的主语、谓语等，然后再弄清句子的附加成分。如果与题目没有直接关系，只要不影响对全文的理解，考生就不必过多纠缠。对待生词的策略也是如此，要看生词是否与题目有直接的关系：如果是题目中涉及的，考生应该弄清单词所处的语境，根据单词和上下文的联系推断出单词的准确意义；如果生词不影响解题，考生则不必耗费过多的时间。4“难”题易做，“易”题难做有些文章看似很难，但题目并不难做，因此解题时考生要保持冷静。有些文章看似简单，实则不然。有些文章虽然语言比较浅显易懂，但往往寓意比较深刻，对于这样的文章，考生不要掉以轻心，而应该透过浅显的语言，充分理解作者的用意以及文章的寓意。
