阅读理解2014年的浙江省高考阅读,整体相对于13年难度有所下降。我们一起从文章体裁、设题题型、单词字数、以及单词难度四个方面来详细分析下四篇文章。
A篇为说明文,450字,相较13年略有下降,讲述了养成积少成多的存钱习惯对于成功的极大影响。尽管相对于13年的广告的起源,难度有所下降,但相对于11年以前难度较小的记叙文而言,这些年A篇难度整体还是加大了的。认真做过11年真题的浙江考生应该已经胸有成竹了。并且这篇文章继续延续首段开门见山,没有长难句,段落结构清晰,与我们给学生训练的高考说明文相比,几乎没有大的区别,不难作答。题型为3道细节题,1道猜词题,1道主旨题。
B篇为应用文,451字,讲了一些国家在商务交流中的行为方式的习俗。文章内容上相较于去年的科普题材,难度也有下降。加上有了小标题后,文章的核心部分单词难度不大,只要考生根据题目关键词,认真在文章中寻找答案,应该可以轻松应对。题型为3道细节题,1道主旨题。
C篇为说明文,417字,相较于13年的506字,有较大幅度下降。文章为环保类题材文章的变体,讲了一些公司开发了高科技,但是却在耗材各方面都对于环境破坏更小,有利于环保。相较于去年研究小猴子的母亲替代物的科普型来看,无论是题材还是单词难度上都降低了难度。题型设置为2道推理题,2道主旨题,1道细节题。
D篇为记叙文,642字,讲了作者在儿时的暑假通过给小伙伴讲自己看过的书上的故事获得了友谊和自信的故事。同比与11年的放风筝记叙文和12年的父子情记叙文以及13年的新教师成长的心路历程,相信考生对D篇文章的长度和风格应该都很熟悉。题型为4道细节题,2道推理题。
任务型阅读出题模式与13年相同,给段落添加首句,考察学生对信息的提取和把握能力。由于关键词汇不易混淆,所以难度略有下降。 从今年的高考阅读理解中可以得到以下的指导:
1、阅读速度和准确率的结合仍然是决定英语成绩的关键,想要在高考英语中取得好成绩,必须保证在35-40分钟将阅读部分做完,并且将错误控制在2个以内;
2、由于阅读的规律性相对较强,考生在针对每种文章体裁的设题规律总结后,再加以限时训练,应该会有较大的提高。在此,希望提醒各位2015届的考生,要更加注意对于阅读错题的分析和总结,一定会事半功倍。 A Wealth starts with a goal saving a dollar at a time. Call it the piggy bank strategy(策略). There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container.
Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. I f you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money.
When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year’s Day brings good luck and financial success. Ah, but you have to put?something?in it.
?? Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins? In the Middle Ages, before modern banking and credit instruments, people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called “pygg,” and folks saved coins in pygg jars.The Middle English word
for pig was “pigge”. While the Saxons pronounced pygg, referring to the clay, as “pug”, eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation, sounding the “i” as in pig or piggy. As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal, a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting children and adults. The piggy bank was born.
?? Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money--- college education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff like great trips. So when you have money, take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely.?

Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.
In Brazil
Brazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to be flexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But to be safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there’s no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon. Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over mails or phone calls.
In Singapore
Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received with two hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time. Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced. Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is about money. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines both people interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outright with someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab Emirates
In the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining in their homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetings are one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It might seem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it is always set out or presented.
In Switzerland
The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They also are respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask about personal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that comes from a deep respect for others’ time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups make the final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food on your plate.
【小题1】C
【小题2】D
【小题3】B
【小题4】D

解析【小题1】C 主旨大意题。这篇短文主要讲述的是什么?这篇短文的第一段就是文章的中心句,意思是这里是一个从一本手册上摘录下来的,关于不同的国家中,人们的行为举止是怎样的。故它讲诉的是不同的国家风俗习惯和社交礼仪。因此答案选C
【小题2】 Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss?
A. They put efficiency in the first place.
B. They dislike face-to-face communication.
C. They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible.
D. They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.
解析【小题2】D。细节理解题。为什么新加坡人不会跟老板发生争吵。 根据短文中关于新加坡的这一段内容可以知道,在新加坡等级是很重要的,权威的人物必须受到尊敬。由此我们可以知道,新加坡人不会跟他们的老板争吵。因此选D【小题3】 In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?
A. When greeting seniors.???????????????????? B. When meeting the host alone.
C. When attending a presentation.????????D. When dining with business partners.

?? Last summer, two nineteenth-century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in Montana, to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco. The houses were made of wood. These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil; now they hold Twitter engineers.
?? The cottages could be an example of the industry’ s odd love affair with “low technology,” a concept associated with the natural world, and with old-school craftsmanship (手艺) that exists long before the Internet era. Low technology is not virtual (虚拟的)?—so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to get creative. The rescued wood cottages, fitted by hand in the late eighteen-hundreds, are an obvious example, but Twitter’s designs lie on the extreme end. Other companies are using a broader interpretation (阐释) of low technology that focuses on nature.
?? Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees, so that employees can “work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting.” At Google’s office, an entire floor is carpeted in glass. Facebook’s second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking trail.Olle Lundberg, the founder of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech companies over the years. “We have lost the connection to the maker in our lives, and our tech engineers are the ones who feel impoverished (贫乏的) , because they’re surrounded by the digital world,” he says. “They’re looking for a way to regain their individual identity, and we’ve found that introducing real crafts is one way to do that.”
?? This craft based theory is rooted in history, William Morris, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after the Industrial Revolution. The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines. “Without creative human occupation, people became disconnected from life,” Morris said.
?? Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mental capacities. In Japan, patients are encouraged to “forest-bathe,” taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure.
?? These health benefits apply to the workplace as well. Rachel Kaplvin, a professor of environmental psychology, has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environment. Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office—even simple views of trees and flowers—felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying. If low-tech offices can potentially nourish the brains and improve the mental health of employees then, fine, bring on the cottages.【小题1】D

试题分析:这篇短文讲述的是关于现代科技公司运用“大自然对人们创造力产生作用”的理念,积极创设原生态的办公环境。这里提到的低科技指的是工业化之前的建造技术,它更贴近自然。在自然的办公环境下,职员们不感到有压力,对他们的健康是有好处的。【小题1】 The writer mentions the two nineteenth-century cottages to show that ________.
A. Twitter is having a hard time
B. old cottages are in need of protection
C. early settlers once suffered from a dry climate in Montana
D. Internet companies have rediscovered the benefits of low technology
解析【小题1】D细节理解题。作者提到两个19世纪的村舍是为了表明什么?根据短文第二段中Low technology is not virtual(虚拟的)—so,to take advantage of it,Internet companies have had to get creative可知,低科技不是虚拟的,因此要充分的利用,高科技公司需要有创造力。而短文开关提到的两个19世纪的小村舍就是低科技技术下的产物。现代的高科技公司也需要用低科技的理念创设原生态的办公室。故选D。
【小题2】 Low technology is regarded as something that _______.
A. is related to nature????? ????????????????? ????B. is out of date today
C. consumes too much energy???????? ?????D. exists in the virtual world
解析【小题2】A推理判断量。低科技被认为是什么样的事物?根据下文中作者给出的例子so that employees can “work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting.”以及最后一段中Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office可以判断出,低科技跟大自然有关,即在一个天然的环境下,故选A。B选项意思是低科技已经过时了,这不符合文意,现在很多高科技的公司都在打造低科技的办公室,让职员们更接近自然;C选项的意思是低科技消耗很多能源,其实正好相反,低科技的东西都是很天然的,不需要消耗很多能源;D选项的意思说低科技是虚拟的,而短文中说它并不是虚拟的,故与文意不符。故选A。
【小题3】 The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that human beings ________.
A. have destroyed many pre-industrial arts
B. have a tradition of valuing arts and crafts
C. can become intelligent by learning history

【小题4】?The writer’s attitude to “low technology” can best be described as ________.
positive??????? B. defensive?????????????? C. cautious?????????? D. doubtful
解析【小题4】A推理判断题。作者对低科技的态度可以用哪一个词来形容?A是积极的;B是辩护的;C是谨慎的;D是怀疑的。通过作者给出的这些例子可以看出,利用低科技建造的原生态办公室对职员们的工作的积极性是有好处的。并且作者还引用了一项研究Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mental capacities来说明自然环境对我们精神上的有利影响。故选A,是积极的。
【小题5】 What might be the best title for the passage?
Past Glories, Future Dreams???????????
B. The Virtual World, the Real Challenge
C. High-tech Companies, Low-tech Offices?
D. The More Craftsmanship, the Less Creativity
【小题5】C主旨大意题。这篇短文中作者告诉我们低科技不是虚拟的,现代的高科技公司需要有创造力,所以要充分的利用以前的低科技技术,创设更加原生态的办公环境。故用High-tech Companies, Low-tech Offices作为题目是最合适的。D A city child’s summer is spent in the street in front of his home, and all through the long summer vacations I sat on the edge of the street and watched enviously the other boys on the block play baseball. I was never asked to take part even when one team had a member missing—not out of special cruelty, but because they took it for granted I would be no good at it. They were right, of course.
???? I would never forget the wonderful evening when something changed. The baseball ended about eight or eight thirty when it grew dark. Then it was the custom of the boys to retire to a little stoop(门廊) that stuck out from the candy store on the corner and that somehow had become theirs. No grownup ever sat there or attempted to. There the boys would sit, mostly talking about the games played during the day and of the game to be played tomorrow. Then long silences would fall and the boys would wander off one by one. It was just after one of those long silences that my life as an outsider changed. I can no longer remember which boy it was that summer evening who broke the silence with a question: but whoever he was, I nod to him gratefully now. “What’s in those books you’re always reading?” he asked casually. “Stories,” I answered. “What kind?” asked somebody else without much interest.? Nor do I know what drove me to behave as I did,for usually I just sat there in silence, glad enough to be allowed to reain among them; but instead of answering his question, I told them for two hours the story I was reading at the moment. The book was?Sister Carrie.?They listened bug-eyed and breathless. I must have told it well, but I think there was another and deeper reason that made them to keep an audience. Listening to a tale being told in the dark is one of the most ancient of man’s entertainments, but I was offering them as well, without being aware of doing it, a new and exciting experience.
???? The books they themselves read were?the Rover Boys?or?Tom Swift?or G.A.Henty. I had read them too, but at thirteen I had long since left them behind. Since I was much alone I had become an enthusiastic reader and I had gone through the books-for-boys series. In those days there was no reading material between children’s and grownups’books or I could find none. I had gone right fromTome Swift and His Flying Machine?to Theodore Dreiser and?Sister Carrie. Dreiser had hit my young mind, and they listened to me tell the story with some of the wonder that I had had in reading it.
???? The next night and many nights thereafter, a kind of unspoken ritual (仪式) took place. As it grew dark, I would take my place in the center of the stoop and begin the evening’s tale. Some nights, in order to taste my victory more completely, I cheated. I would stop at the most exciting part of a story by Jack London or Bret Harte, and without warning tell them that that was as far as I had gone in the book and it would have to be continued the following evening. It was not true, of course; but I had to make certain of my new-found power and position. I enjoyed the long summer evenings until school began in the fall. Other words of mine have been listened to by larger and more fashionable audiences, but for that tough and athletic one that sat close on the stoop outside the candy store, I have an unreasoning love that will last forever.【小题1】A

Develop Better Relationships with Neighbors
Good neighbors are a lot like electricity or running water:we don’t know how much we depend on them until we don’t have them. They make our lives more pleasant and give us a sense of who we write, both as an individual and as a member of the community. Here is how to develop your relationships with these very important people in your life. ???
【小题1】?_________ Often neighbors don’t even know each other’s names. But it’s okay to be the one to break the ice , even if you’ve lived next door for years. Most neighbors enjoy making small talk with the folks on the other side of the fence. So as you see them at work in their yards, smile, wave, and say hello. Ask how their kids are (whether they’re babies or in college), whether they could use an extra cucumber from your garden, or what they think of the price at the local supermarket.【小题2】?_________ These days, the old Welcome Wagon is a thing of the past. But your new neighbors may
be feeling lonely and unsure, especially if they’re far from home, and might appreciate a friendly face bearing fresh-baked chocolate cakes. If they have kids, tell them where the children in the neighborhood live. Recommend the best places to eat and sleep. Invite them over for coffee or tea when they get settled, give them your number, and point to your house as you say good-bye.
【小题3】__________ Return anything that you borrow from a neighbor, such as tools, in good repair and as soon as you’ve finished with them. Replace anything that belongs to your neighbor that you, your children, or your pets break or soil. Make sure that your car is not blocking their doorway. Such random acts of consideration will have your neighbors talking?—?and the talk will be good.【小题4】?__________? If you value a friendship with your neighbors, spend time with them. What better way? to meet your neighbors than to invite them to an informal barbecue, pool party, or holiday open
house? Better yet, you might even consider throwing a get-together in their honor. Deliver the invitations in person to everyone who lives on your street and chat with each for five minutes before moving on to the next house. This way, you will get an idea of what your neighbors are like so that you can plan for appropriate food and music.【小题5】?___________ In a good relationship, it’s really the little things that count. Help to bring in the mail
for the elderly neighbor when there is a heavy rain. When your neighbor forgets to take in his rubbish cans, roll them back into his yard. If you’re truly concerned, you’ll know when your neighbor needs some cheering up?—?a bunch of flowers or a helping hand when it’s needed. All it takes to develop???
your relationship with neighbors is the respect for their feelings.【小题1】C

【小题3】F本段本段叙述的是借邻居家的东西用完后要及时归还,并放回原来的地方,停车不要挡道。给别人方便,同时给自己也带来了方便。因此避免引起不方便,故选F。
【小题4】D本段叙述的是要花费时间和邻居相处,可以邀请邻居在一起聚会、度假等,因此要抽出时间搞好关系,故选D。
【小题5】B本段叙述的是要关心邻居的一些小事,如:下雨天帮助老人去邮件、帮着邻居倒垃圾等。因此要关心一些细节小事,故选B。
考点:信息匹配。改错 今年改错部分较前几年来看较为简单,均为基础考点,无偏题怪题,认真仔细审题的话应该难度不大。 第一节:短文改错
下面短文中有10处语言错误。请在有错误的地方增加、删除或修改某个单词。
?增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧),并在其下面写上该加的词。
删除:把多余的词用斜线()划掉。
?修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写上修改后的词。
?注意:1.每处错误及修改均仅限一词;
???????? 2.只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分。 I was taking a train to London’s Victoria Station.
I had noticed that the carriage was noise and
filled with people. Before long, a train inspector comes to check out tickets. A passenger realized he couldn’t find his ticket but became quite upset. Then everyone in the carriage began searching the ticket, which was eventually found under a seat several rows from his owner. The person who found a ticket smiled with pleasure at his success.
???? No one in the carriage had previous spoken to or even noticed the ticket-owner before. Yet, they had so quickly offered the strangers their help. If we could show concern to others on need, the world would be a better place to live in.
【小题1】had—去掉had.根据上下文可知这里叙述的是过去的事情,应该用一般过去式
【小题2】noise--noisy.我注意到车厢里是吵闹的,并且车厢里满人。这里was是系动词,后应该用形容词noisy吵闹的;noise吵闹是名词。
【小题3】comes—came.不久火车检票员来检票。应为根据上文第一句可知这里叙述的是那次坐火车的事情,所以句子应该用过去式。Comes是一般现在时;故用came过去式。
【小题4】but—and.一个乘客意识到找不到他的票了,并且他很不安。But表示前后是转折关系,and表示前后是并列关系。这里因为找不到票而心里感到不安,并不是转折关系,而是顺承柄列关系,故用and.
【小题5】searching∧the ticket—for.然后车厢里的每个人开始寻找这张票.这里begin doing sth 开始做某事;search for sth寻找某事。
【小题6】his—its/the.这张票在离它的主人隔几排的座位下被找到了。这里which引导的是定语从句,修饰前面的先行词ticket.owner前应该用its指的是ticket’s或用定冠词the表示特指。
【小题7】a—the.找到那张票的那个人笑了。因为上文已经提到了那张票,这里再次提到,所以应该用定冠词the.
【小题8】previous—previously.先前车厢里没人和票的主人说话或注意到他。Previous以前的,是形容词;previously先前,是副词。这里应该用副词来修饰动词had spoken.
【小题9】strangers—stranger.他们很快地给这位陌生人提供帮助。这里stranger指的是找票的那个人,是一个人,所以应该用单数。
【小题10】on—in.如果我们能够表示对需要的人的关心,那么这个世界将会是居住的好地方。这里是短语in need急需,介词短语作定语,修饰前面的others,故用in.
考点:短文改错。 书面表达 大部分考生刚拿到题目的时候会被书信的格式所困扰,其实在高考英语作文中,无论是书信、演讲稿或者板报等题材形式都不是考生需要关注的重点。因此,书信的格式往往是不需要考生特别关注的。高考阅卷标准中已经明确了此类作文的评分三大依据:第一,符合中心,达到写作目的。第二,高级词汇和多样性复杂语法的应用。第三,连词的恰当使用。也就是说高考改卷更注重语言运用的准确度。 学校图书馆需要购置一批新书,?现向学生征求意见。假如你是李越,你认为学校图书馆最需
要购置科普类图书(popular science books)和文学类图书(literary books)。请你用英语给图书馆王老师写一封100—120词的信,推荐这两类书,并分别说明推荐理由。

?????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????? ?Yours sincerely
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Li YueDear Mr. Wang,
knowing that our library is going to buy books, I’d like to give some suggestions.
What we need most are popular science books. Usually popular science books explain basic principles of nature in a simple and interesting way. They help us understand science subjects better and arouse our curiosity about scientific discoveries.
In addition to reading for knowledge, we read for fun and inspiration. That is why I recommend another category of books: literary books. Classic works, written by masters, present great thoughts through fascinating stories and language. They not only offer us joy and excitement, but also encourage us to think critically.
I’ll be glad if you can consider my recommendation.
Yours sincerely.
Li Yue【试题分析】根据提示你用英语给图书馆王老师写一封100—120词的信,可知这里应该是考生比较熟悉的书信格式。学校图书馆需要购置一批新书,现向学生征求意见。先写这个内容来引出你要提出的建议。在写推荐的两类书时,要写出为什么要推荐这些书。【亮点说明】短文用了一些短语和句式曾加了文章的色彩,如:would like to do;help sb to do sth; not only…but also;encourage sb to do sth;That is why…等, 还用了一些连词使句子结构复杂化,如:What we need most are popular science books这里what引导的主语从句;That is why I recommend another category of books;这里why引导的表语从句;I’ll be glad if you can consider my recommendation.这里是if引导的条件状语从句。
