Britains relationship with tea is much shorter, but
2、 tea enjoys pride of place as the UKs national drink. According to the UK Tea Council, British people drink an average of three cups a day or a national total of 165 million cups every day. With figures like these, it is no surprise that time spent taking tea affects the working day in Britain. A re
3、cent survey found that 24 minutes a day are lost to making, buying and drinking tea and coffee. That is, 400 a year is lost in working hours per employee, or 190 days over a lifetime. So, should employers be worried about this lost working time, or does the tea break make up in other ways? One argum
4、ent is that caffeine improves mental state: a drink of tea or coffee can make you active and focus on work. Professor Rogers of the University of Bristol disagrees. After years of studying caffeine he sees nothing can prove that. “Workers would perform equally well if not drinking it at all,” he say
5、s. “But if theyre often drinking it and then go without, theyll feel tired and wont work well.” Psychologist Cooper instead emphasizes the role tea breaks play in office life, and in building social relationships. “We need to make people more active and see other people. The tea break is one way of
6、doing this,” says Cooper. And Professor Rogers also points out the comfort effect of a hot drink: “We warm our hands on them on a cold day; theyre comforting and play a big role in our everyday life. Whatever the caffeines doing, Id say these 24 minutes arent wasted.” 21. What is the passage mainly
7、about?A. Tea Breaks cannot make people more active at work.B. British people drink more tea than people in other countries.C. Tea break plays an important role in peoples life in Britain.D.

16、 many simple tricks with numbers. Here is one trick. It has seven steps. First, write down your house number. For example, if your address is 73 Lemon Street, you would write down 73. Next, double(翻一倍) it. In other words, multiply(乘) it by two. Then, add five to this doubled number. For example, if
17、your address was 73and you doubled it, you would get 146. Then, if you added five, youd get 151. So, to repeat the first three steps, write down your house number, double it, and add five. Fourth, multiply this number by 50. In our example here, if you multiply 151 by 50, youll get 7550. The fifth s
18、tep is to add your age to this total. For example, if youre 26years old, you should add 26 to this total. In our example here, the result would be 7550 plus 26, youll get 7576. Sixth, you have to add the number of days in a year, which is 365. In our example here, 365 added to 7576 is 7941. The seve
19、nth and final step is this: subtract(减) 615 from the number that you have. In our example, 7941 minus 615 is 7326. The result here, 7-3-2-6, is the trick. The first part of the number is the address and the last part of the number is the age of the person. That is, 73is the address that we started w
20、ith, and 26is the age that we used. If you follow these seven steps with any address and the age of any person. You will get the same result. 28. According to the trick, what number can you get if you are 16 years old and your house number is 85？A. 1685B. 8516C. 8165D. 165829. How can your age numbe
21、r appear at the last part of the result?A. Its really a trick. B. By taking all the steps except Step1 and Step 2. C. By taking Step 6and Step 7. D. By taking all the steps. 30. Whats the secret of the trick?A. Its impossible to know. B. By taking Step 2 and Step 4, we get the formula(公式)：your addre
22、ss number 250. C. By taking all the steps except 1 and 2, we get the formula: 550+your age number+365615=your age number. D. Both B and C. 31. Is it possible for us to design another program of getting the same result？A. No, its impossible to find out another way. B. No problem. C. Im not sure. D. I
23、ts nothing but a trick. D It was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.

24、m. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. Im so glad I did.On the road to the harbour we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbour itself was in fairly good shape. After all，it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one t
25、iny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance.On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldnt believe it there arent any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean into the bay, in which the sti
26、ll water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.The little baby whaleactually as big as our boatwas obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves. “Shes trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,” my fath
27、er said. At this point, my father moved our boat in a semicircle to the other side and, heading the boat towards the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desper
28、ate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, some-times rising from the water right beside us to breatheand to give us a trusting look with those huge
29、eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight from the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonderful animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the

56、课标II高考压轴卷英语【答案与解析】阅读理解：A篇：【答案与解析】 喝茶已经成为英国人的习惯、，且不论喝茶休息是否真的可以提高工作效率，一旦人们戒除了这个习惯，他们的工作将会受到影响。21C主旨大意题。文章首先阐述了茶在英国的重要地位，之后大部分内容都在叙述喝茶休息的优点，所以C项最能概括文章大意。22B细节理解题。结合第一段最后一句、第二段第二句和第三句的内容可知最近的调查表明英国人一个工作日中喝茶和咖啡的时问有24分钟。23D推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的内容可推测cooper对喝茶休息持”肯定”态度。B篇：24.D细节判断题。从第一段There I saw Ma Shwe with her
57、 three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water and it was a life-and-death struggle25.A细节判断题。从第二、三段中可以看出Ms Shwe一直努力使小牛离开湍急的河水，到岸上安全的地方。26.A细节判断题。从最后一段的最后一句，可知but to her calf it was music.对幼崽的一种安慰方式。27.A主旨概括题。整片叙述的是小牛掉到河里，母牛采取一切措施来进行保护小牛， 体现了母爱。C篇：【答案与解析】 本文主要介绍一个数学的小把戏。28. B推断题。由文章的倒数第2段，
58、“The first part”我们可以得出这条算术的答案：共有四位数字，前两位是地址的号码，后两位是年龄的数字，所以答案是B。29. D推断题。只有将步骤全部算完才可以得出答案，因此选D。30. D推断题。通过选项B的公式可以算出地址号码的100倍，即答案的前两位数字；通过选项C可以算出年龄的数字，也是答案的后两位。将B，C两项加起来就揭开了把戏的秘密，据此可推出答案为D。31. B推理题。根据常理，我们知道数学的奥妙是无穷的，所以设计另外一条程序是完全没有问题的，所以选B。D篇：【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文，描述一个孩子与父亲一起解救鲸鱼的童年记忆。32.【解析】选C。句意推断题，可根据文章
59、主线来解答。此题的关键在于询问Im so glad I did的原因，而不是简单的句意猜测，审题时定要抓住because，否则，就会感到做题无所适从。33. 【解析】选B。细节判断题。由第三段“After all，it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea”直接找到答案。因此B项正确。34. 【解析】选D。细节判断题。由第五段中“Shes trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,” my father said.可直接判断得出
60、答案。35.【解析】选A。主题判断题。通过对全文内容的分析和对最后一段的仔细品味可以得出作者从这次拯救鲸鱼的经历中获得的幸福感。因此选A项。七选五：36-40 EBCGA完形填空：【答案与解析】 文章通过一个故事告诉我们，无论是精神世界还是物质世界，一些想法的寻找是简单的，但是想法的运用却是另外一回事。41A 考查形容词辨析。由下文对这个传统的描述来看，这个传统很独特，所以四个词中只有strange (奇怪的)符合语境。语境为：很久很久以前，有一个小村庄有着一个奇怪的传统。每到年初，已成年的男孩就会拿到一块地和资金(自己动手)去修建自己的房屋。hopeful 有希望的；literary 文艺的
61、，书本的；cultural文化的。42C 考查动词词义辨析。这里指的是在冬天到来前就要完成房屋的修建。所以用complete，意思是：完成。倒数第三段 “By fall, Marc had finished his home”中有同义词复现：finish。43.A 考查动词词义辨析。 倒数第三段“The first winter storm destroyed his home and he froze to 16 The villagers mourned for him”告诉我们，由于Paul修建的房子不好，被冻死了，人们都来哀悼他，但没有帮助他度过寒冬，由此可以看出，在这一奇怪的传统中，
62、别人是不能提供帮助的，所以选help。44D考查语境话选词。上一段告诉我们，成年的男孩是在每年的年初(At the beginning of every year)拿到一块地和资金的，四个选项中只有spring(春天)符合境。45B 考查动词辨析。对应第一段提到的was given，所以这里选receive意思是：收到。exchange 交换；recognize 认出，承认；advise 建议，忠告。46C考查语境话选词。前文告诉我们，他们要建的是房子，这是在外出考察，自然是找最好的房子和房主交谈以获得如何建好房子的建议。文中有多处同义词home的复现。47D考查名词词义辨析。每一位房主都很乐
63、意提供给他们(关于如何建好房子的)建议。所以选advice。可以从“Soon he had so many great ideas that he began to 10 some of them”中的idea得到启示。48B 考查动词辨析。Marc 参观了几栋房子，把房主们提供的建议搜集起来，所以选gather。意思是：搜集。9空后的“continued collecting more ideas”有同义词复现。expect 期待，预料；create 创造；understand理解。49C 考查副词辨析。考查动词辨析。Marc开始建房，而Paul 却仍在继续搜集如何建房的建议，两者之间是转折
64、关系，所以用however。50 A 考查动词辨析。由于搜集的好的修建房屋的方法太多了，以至于都忘了一部分，所以用forget。 believe 认为，相信；replace代替；doubt怀疑。51 C 考查连词辨析。“He had several false starts”和“his home gradually rose from his land”之间是转折关系，所以用but。52 D考查动词辨析。倒数第二段 “Each year, Marc searched for other good ideas he could use to make his own home look bett
65、er”中的make his own home look better，说的就是他所修的房子可以在建成后随时改良，所以用improve。repair 修理、修补； rebuild重建；sell卖。53A 考查名词辨析。第二段的“In each village, they found the nicest 31 and talked to the owners”可知，应该选conversations，意思是：谈话、会话。54B 考查动词辨析。冬天来了，第一场雪使Paul意识到建房子所剩的时间不多了，所以自己便急匆匆地往回赶，所以选rush，意思是：冲、奔，急匆匆的赶。55. A 考查形容词辨析。由
66、后面的“The first winter storm destroyed his home”可以看出，由于动工时间较晚，时间紧，他修的房子不牢固，所以选weak，意思是：不牢固的。Funny滑稽的；small小的；amazing令人吃惊的。56. B 考查名词辨析。下一句“The villagers mourned for him”告诉我们，村民们都去哀悼他，由此可知他被冻死了，所以选death。57. C 考查动词辨析。这里指的是Marc由于修好了房子，顺利渡过了冬天，所以用survive，意思是：从困境中挺过来。58. D 考查动词辨析。raise 养育。句意为：(后来)他成了村里的领导，
67、养育了一家人，幸福满意的生活着。如果把 A 项后加上up，也是正确的。59. B 考查形容词辨析。上面的故事告诉我们，建议和想法的寻找是简单的，而实践才是困难的，所以选easy。60. D考查动词辨析。这里指的是最好的想法的“应用”，所以选apply。语法填空:【要点综述】 本文是一篇启迪故事，介绍了一位商业天才告诉人们要做别人想不到的或以前没有尝试过的事情来取得成功。61. however考副词表转折的用法。根据语境应填一个表示转折的副词。 62. advice考构词法。介词后面用名词，注意不能用复数形式。63. where考关系副词引导定语从句的用法。先行词是地点名词，且从句结构完整，应用
68、关系副词where引导。64flowing考非谓语动词的用法。根据结构应填v.ing形式作定语修饰a river, 表示主动，相当于一个定语从句which flows。65were考虚拟语气的用法。表示与现在事实相反的假设，从句用所给动词的过去式。66without考介词的用法。名词前面用介词，根据语境应填without表示“这位商业天才没说一句话，只是笑了一笑。”67. something考不定代词的用法。用于表示建议、请求用代词something。68. a考冠词的固定搭配。“大量的”用a great amount of/ a great deal of/ a great number o
69、f 等表示。69. because考从属连词的用法。前后分句明显有因果关系，故填表示原因的从属连词，故填because。70. to考介词的固定搭配。表示“的关键，的答案”，用介词to。短文改错：1paypaid 2paperspaper 3up去掉 4WhatHow 5FortunateFortunately 6.been去掉 7putputting 8. But-And 9ourtheir 10to prevent书面表达：Firstly. Our government should adopt more effective measures to make the elders have

There is no better idea than spending more time with
