23、ondest memories with my family are from when I was in middle school， when the three of us enjoyed trips that I remember vividly to this day.

24、ries or whether Im filling in the gaps through photo albums. A frequent discussion I have with my coworkers and friends， who are also in their 20s， is how we wish our parents had taken us on more vacations when we were much older.

25、 is about 12， when they can begin to understand what a privilege is， and you can save the international travel until theyre in high school. Of course， I do understand that sometimes， its not the kids but the parents who just want to enjoy a vacation. But in other cases， when the main goal is to crea

31、en on Vacation until They Are Old【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. D【解析】这一篇夹叙夹议类文章。作者以个人经历告诉读者：等孩子足够大再带孩子出去旅游，尤其是出国旅行。【8题详解】推理判断题。由第一段中的“But during my younger days, like 4 or 5 years old, we vacationed in places like Cancun, Jamaica and Hawaii and I cant tell whether I actually recall those memories or whethe
32、r Im filling in the gaps through photo albums.”可知，作者4、5岁左右到Cancun，Jamaica和Hawaii这些地方旅行，作者现在不能判断出是否能真正地回忆起这些回忆，或者是否要通过相册来填补自己记忆的空白。由此可以推断出，作者对到Hawaii的旅游已经没有什么印象，因此作者应该是感到失望的。故A选项正确。【9题详解】细节理解题。由第二段中的“What I suggest is to and you can save the international travel until theyre in high school.”可知，作者认为孩子
33、到了高中再出国旅游是最合适的。故C选项正确。【10题详解】词义猜测题。结合第一题的解析可知，作者对于4、5岁时候的出国旅行已经没有什么印象。由第三段中的“It wasnt until college that I realized how important travel is, and I cant tell you how many times Ive thought about wanting to redo those family trips now.”可知，作者长大之后，才意识到小时候的家庭旅行的宝贵和重要。由此可以推知，当初父母花钱带作者进行的旅游于作者而言已经没有什么印象了。结
34、合选项可知，C选项正确。【11题详解】标题归纳题。作者结合自己的经历告诉读者：过早的带孩子出国旅行于孩子而言没有什么太大的意义。作者在第二段中建议孩子到了高中再带他们出国旅行。在最后一段中建议带小孩子在当地旅游。故D选项适合做该文标题。DNot only does the use of plastic water bottles hurt your wallet, it also increases pollution and wastes energy and water. Only 23% of all plastic in America ends up in a recycling b
35、in, meaning over $ 1 billion worth of plastic is treated as rubbish a year.

The price for an individual bubble or a unit of bubbles has
39、not been set yet, but they cost about two cents to create a unit, which is cheaper than plastic bottles.

48、ere not funny, and wept(哭泣)at things that were not sad. Complaining of pressure caused by a hat on his head, he tried repeatedly to take it off. Tripp, of course, was not wearing a hat._17_ Then he imagined he was in another city; he tried to run away from the building, insisting it was on fire; and
49、 he thought the 200-hour mark had been passed but that the doctors were still trying to keep the experiment going.

B【解析】本文是说明文。当人们长时间不睡觉时会发生什么呢? 为了找到这个问题的答案，Tripp主动提出自己200个小时不睡觉。文章介绍了Tripp的实验的情况。【16题详解】上文“a New Yorker, Peter Tripp, offered to stay awake 200 hours.”说明 Peter Tripp提出要保持200个小时不睡觉
53、；G项中“During that time”即指上文的“200 hours”；“Tripp was observed by a group of doctors”与上文的“To answer this question”相呼应。故选G。【17题详解】第二段首句提到“After three days of staying awake”，第二段是说明Tripp三天不睡觉后的状态；E项中“on the fifth day”与上一段中“After three days of staying awake”相呼应，该段是说明Tripp进一步的情况。故选E。【18题详解】上文医生说到Tripp的情况“Tri
54、pp was suffering from mental illness”，医生认为Tripp已经患上了精神疾病。A项中“He was nearly mad.（他几乎要疯了）”与上文“was suffering from mental illness”语义相符。故选A。【19题详解】上文提到“Tripp was helped across the street to a room in a hotel.（有人扶着他穿过街道，来到一家旅馆的房间里）”；F项中“there”即是指上文的“a room in a hotel”，F项是顺承上文的话题。故选F。【20题详解】上文提到“When he aw
55、oke, his first words were,I feel fine.” Tripp睡了9小时11分钟。醒来时他说的第一句话是：“我感觉很好。”B项中“ said that he was sound and well.” 他的监护人员说他很健康。B项中“he was sound and well.”与上文中“I feel fine.”语义一致。故选B 。第二部分 英语知识运用(共三节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。Being good at something and havi

83、家离开家的一些相关的习俗。【41题详解】考查连词。句意：当一个人年轻的时候，他通常会在生日之前吃面条，因为在中国，长面条象征着长寿。“the long noodles indicate the longevity in China”是说明生日前吃面条的原因，因此用because/as/for引导原因状语从句。故填because/as/for。【42题详解】考查形容词的比较级。句意：过了中年，他的生日会比以前更盛大。than常和形容词的比较级连用，因此great应该用比较级形式。故填greater。【43题详解】考查可数名词单复数。句意：在婚礼当天，还有一种习俗是给新人送上各种各样的坚果，作为美
84、好的祝愿。 wish是可数名词，此处应该用复数形式，表示各种美好的祝愿。故填wishes。44题详解】考查名词。句意：对大多数中国人来说，久别或离家后回家同样重要，也有与之相关的饮食习俗。在形容词long后应该是名词形式，与名词departure并列作after的宾语；absent是形容词，名词形式为absence，不可数。故填absence。【45题详解】考查副词。句意：对大多数中国人来说，久别或离家后回家同样重要，也有与之相关的饮食习俗。修饰形容词important应该用副词形式。故填equally。【46题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：对大多数中国人来说，久别或离家后回家同样重要，也有与之
85、相关的饮食习俗。短语be connected with“与有关”；dining customs和 connect之间为逻辑上的被动关系，因此用过去分词作后置定语。故填connected。【47题详解】考查时态和语态。句意：回家的时候吃面条，离开家告别的时候吃饺子。分析可知，此处是并列句的谓语动词，句子主语a farewell和offer之间为逻辑上的被动关系，应该用被动语态；根据上文is greeted，此处也应该用一般现在时的被动语态，说明客观事实。主语是单数，be动词用is。故填is offered。【48题详解】考查冠词。句意：在中国中部，当一个婴儿出生时，幸福的父亲会送来煮的红鸡蛋来宣

87、development of industry, peoples material wealth has enriched _(drama) and the lifestyle changed completely.

UnderWith4. importantimportance5. expressionexpressions6. includeincluding7. openedopens8. ThatWhat9. articles后加where/because10. particularparticularly【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了读英文报纸是提高作者英语水平的
94、一个好方法。【详解】1.考查主谓一致。句意：读英文报纸是我最喜欢的活动。分析句子结构，句子主语是Reading English newspapers，动名词短语作主语时，谓语动词应该用单数形式。故将are改为is。2.考查介词。句意：当我进入高中，我开始喜欢做这样的工作。 enter意思为“进入”是及物动词，后面不需要接介词into。故去掉into。3.考查介词。句意：在老师的帮助下，我意识到阅读英语文章是非常重要的。此处是短语with ones help“在某人的帮助下”。故将Under 改为With。4.考查名词。句意：在老师的帮助下，我意识到阅读英语文章是非常重要的。此处是短语 be o
95、f great importance“很重要的”；of后应该是名词形式。故将important改为importance。5.考查可数名词单复数。句意：通过这样做，我学会了很多单词和表达方式。many后面接可数名词的复数形式；words是复数形式，expression与words并列，也应该用复数形式。故将expression改为expressions。6.考查介词。句意：我也得到了很多信息，包括关于中国和外面世界的新闻。include是动词，此处应该用介词including，介词短语表示补充说明。故将include改为including。7.考查时态。句意：它开阔了我的视野。全文是说明现在的情
96、况，用一般现在时，该句也应用一般现在时；句子主语it是单数，谓语动词应该用单数第三人称形式。故将opened改为opens。8.考查主语从句引导词。句意：我最喜欢的是关于下周电视节目的部分。分析句子结构，“That I love most”是主语从句，从句中缺少宾语，应该用what引导主语从句，在从句中做I love的宾语，意思为“事情”。故将That改为What。9.考查定语从句关系词或状语从句。句意：我不喜欢读有很多新单词的长篇文章。分析句子结构,“there are many new words”是定语从句，先行词是long articles，在从句中作地点状语，此处缺少关系副词wher
97、e。也可以将there are many new words理解为是说明“I dislike reading long articles”的原因，用because引导原因状语从句。故articles后加where/because。10.考查副词。句意：即使这对我来说是一个特别困难的任务，我也会努力坚持下去。此处修饰形容词hard，应该用副词形式。故将particular改为particularly。第二节 书面表达 (满分15分)57. 假定你是李华，你的新西兰朋友Terry将去中国朋友家做客，发邮件向你询问有关习俗。请你回复邮件。内容包括：（1）到达时间；（2）合适的礼物；（3）餐桌礼仪。注
98、意：1. 词数100左右；2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。【答案】Dear Terry,How are you doing? Learning that you are about to pay a visit to a Chinese friend and confused about the Chinese customs, I am writing to inform you of some relevant details.Firstly, I would like to suggest that you arrive 5 to 10 minutes earlier, which
99、 is common in Chinese traditional culture. Secondly, if I were you, I would bring some gifts with me, such as souvenirs from my own country. Besides, table manners are also what you should pay attention to. For example, you are not supposed to stick your chopsticks into your food. Instead, laying th
100、em on your dish is a smart choice.Hopefully, these suggestions will be helpful for you.Best wishes!Yours,Li Hua【解析】本文是一篇书信类应用文写作。餐桌礼仪也是考生比较熟悉的话题。成文时注意以下几点：一、内容要点要齐全1到达时间；2合适的礼物；3餐桌礼仪。二、时态：主要用一般现在时和将来时；三、人称：二、三人称。四、注意使用恰当的高级词汇、短语或句型，以提高作文的水平；五、适当使用一些连接词和插入语，使文章表达自然、流畅。点睛：本文虽然看起来比较容易，但学生真正动起笔来，还是比较困惑的。原因为：1.看起来中国餐桌礼仪很熟悉，但内容很多，一时间不知道该写什么；2.100单词左右，写出到达时间；合适的礼物；餐桌礼仪三个内容，信息量大，选择有困难；应对方法：近年来高考写作的命题常用的思想就是高起点低落点。高起点题目很高，中国文化，中国故事，中国礼仪等等，但最终都把它们落在应用文的框架里，这就是低落点。写这样的作文，一定要注意不能写过于具体的内容，要找最重要的，最熟悉的写，不要面面俱到，中国餐桌礼仪内容太多，100单词无法写。找重点，以点带面。但选择重要内容本身就是一种能力。
