Ⅰ.完形(2010杭州高级中学高三二模)
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 (购买的) 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

【答案与解析】 C 由倒数第2段“and eventually I __18__ my dream and I became a doctor”可知“我”自小就“梦想”成为一名医生。
3．A.lazy B．easy－going
C．successful D．reliable
【答案与解析】 C 由下文“Success required intellectual preparation”可推知此题选C项。句意为“通过工作，她注意到，成功人士花更多时间在看书上，而不是看电视”。
4．A.spent B．paid
C．took D．did
【答案与解析】 D 此处为避免重复累赘，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
【答案与解析】 A 句意为“她宣布，我们兄弟俩每周只能看两到三个(由她)预选好的电视节目”。could only“只能”，符合语境和逻辑。
6．A.read to B．present to
C．teach D．explain to
【答案与解析】 B 由后文“mark them up with check marks and highlights”可知“我们”交给母亲的是书面的读书报告，据此可排除其他选项。present sth to sb“把某物交给某人”，此句中宾语后移。
7．A.joke B．means
C．tool D．trick
【答案与解析】 D 由后文“My mother was illiterate”可知母亲目不识丁，“我们”后来才意识到那些标记原是个“骗局”。
8．A.A－student B．B－student
C．C－student D．D－student
【答案与解析】 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”入学时是个优生。
9．A.get rid of B．hang out with
C．break away from D．keep in touch with
【答案与解析】 B 由but转折可知，后来“我”“堕落”了，喜欢上了高档衣服和跟其他人出去鬼混。hang out“外出闲荡”，符合此处语境。
10．A.making B．stopping C．working D．getting
【答案与解析】 C 题意：一天晚上母亲“做”完了她繁杂的工作回到家里。work“做；工作”，可用作及物动词，符合语境。其他选项与job搭配不当。
11．A.your brother B．yourself
C．your sister D．the family
【答案与解析】 D 由“I'll give you all the money I make this week scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms”可推知，母亲把她这个星期擦地板和洗厕所赚的所有的钱都给“我”，当然是要“我”为“全家”买食物和付账了。
12．A.left over B．paid up C．used up D．carried out
【答案与解析】 A 由后文“there was ________ left”可知，母亲想把买食物和付账“剩下的”全部的钱都给“我”。
13．A.angry B．pleased
C．disappointed D．bored
【答案与解析】 B 由后文“but once I got through allocating money”可推知，作者开始听到这个消息，自然“喜出望外”。其他三项均表示消极、失望的情绪，不合语境，可排除。
14．A.anything B．everything C．something D．nothing
【答案与解析】 D 由上文“With everything ________”可知，本来是剩下的全部都归“我”，可是一旦我支配完钱(在买食物和付其他账)后，“什么”也没剩下。前后对比明显，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
【答案与解析】 C 此处题意为“‘我’意识到母亲是位能为我们提供栖身之所和桌上之食的理财天才”。keep a roof over one's head“为某人提供栖身之所”。
16．A.let alone B．let out
C．let in D．leave alone
【答案与解析】 A 题意：母亲是位能为“我们”提供食宿的理财能手，“更不用说”买衣服了。let alone“更不用说”，符合句意。leave out“删除”；let in“允许进入；放……进来”；leave alone“不打扰；听其自然”。
17．A.guys B．mother
C．studies D．play
【答案与解析】 C 此事过后，作者经过反思，把心思重新收回到“学业”上来。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
【答案与解析】 B 由后文“and I became a doctor”可知作者“实现”了儿时的梦想。fulfill“实现”。
19．A.little B．much C．few D．high
【答案与解析】 A 由第2段最后一句“My mother was illiterate”可知母亲未接受任何正规教育。little“几乎不”，修饰不可数名词。few用于修饰可数名词。
20．A.more interesting B．less important
C．more important D．less interesting
【答案与解析】 C 由上文“who used her position as a parent to change the lives of many people around the globe”可知“世界上没有比为人父母‘更伟大和重要的’工作了”。

A．opposed to B．objected to
C．are opposed to D．approved
【答案与解析】 B “反对某人/事”可用oppose sb / sth或be opposed to sb / sth，as well as连接并列主语时，谓语动词的单复数要根据as well as前的主语来确定；approve当“同意”讲时，是不及物动词，与介词of连用；object to“反对”，符合题意。

A．parted; seek
B．separated; hunt
C．departed; seek D．divided; found out

5．He is an independent person. He always________ any offer of help.
A．declines B．denies
C．turns away D．turn in
【答案与解析】 A 由句中independent“独立的；不依赖别人的”可知，空格处想表达“拒绝”的意思。decline“委婉地拒绝”，符合题意。deny“否认”；turn away“拒绝帮助(别人)”；均与题意不符。turn in“上交”。

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 (记事本) 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.
【答案与解析】 D 细节题。从“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” 可知正确答案。
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.
【答案与解析】 B 推断题。根据第3段中“I'm just amazed you still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years” 可推断，作者认为the wooden stand该换成更好的了。
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
【答案与解析】 C 细节题。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.
【答案与解析】 A 推理题。根据最后一段的第1句“This story?which happened before I was born?reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is also a gifted mathematician” 可以推出正确答案。
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
【答案与解析】 B 推断题。作者通过“a wooden stand with a small notepad and a hole for a pencil”了一位母亲对事业的执著和热爱。

Having a pleasant trip and see you Friday.

Ⅴ.书面表达(浙江省2010届高考二轮复习预测与模板)
根据上图信息，请以 “Ways to spend the weekend” 为题，用英语写一篇100～120词的短文。 要求如下：
1．简要描述图中的信息；
2．说明原因 (为了高效学习；锻炼身体；争分夺秒……)；
3．谈谈你的看法。

【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.
书面表达指导
高考英语图表类写作
在高考中，图表类写作经常出现，其内容上多为中学生日常生活中熟悉的生活经历，以及社会热点。图表类写作一般可分为三类：叙述类，说明类和议论类。叙述类可包括根据图表写出的日记；说明类可包括个人生平、履历、通知或交代某些注意事项的留言条，根据路线图给人指路和对图表中数字进行客观的分析解释等；议论类则可指分析图表中所给数字，并就这些数字所反映出的事实做出个人评价。
一、图表式作文的几种形式
1．以表格形式：将统计的数据或被说明的事物直接用表格形式体现出来，即统计表。
2．以图形形式A：表示数据变化的曲线图；B：表示数据的大小或数量之间的差异的柱状图；C：表示总体内部结构变化的扇形图。
二、图表式作文写作分三步
第一步：开门见山地点明本图表所反映的主题。
常使用的词汇有：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：分析数据间的主要差异及趋势，然后(在描写数据间变化及总趋势特征时，可采用分类式或对比式以支持主题，并阐明必要的理由)，注意层次。
常用转折，对比及比较的词汇：
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。
常用描写趋势变化的词汇：
increase, rise, go up, reduce, drop, go down, fall, reach, remain, by / to, slowly, slightly, gradually, sharply, rapidly, the number of..., from...to及比较级、倍数句型等。
第三步：归纳总结或发表评论。
常用词汇：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、根据图表写短文，要注意以下几个方面：
第一，审清题目，根据要求选择适当的表达方式和文体。
第二，要注意图表内信息的连接方式。
四、图表作文的框架
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.
