5. 2014年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语(天津卷)

【名师简评】2014年天津高考英语试卷继续贯彻教育部《普通高中英语课程标准》倡导的培养学生实际语言运用能力和创新精神的新理念，着重考查考生英语语言基础知识、语言运用能力以及基本交际能力。与去年相比，2014年天津高考英语试卷各部分测试项目没有变化，考生得分率略有上升，单项选择、阅读理解及阅读表达题目难度略有降低，试卷总体质量参数继续保持优良、稳定的发展态势。

单项选择适当减少了从句项目，但增加了词汇类试题，更加注重基础知识和基本交际能力的考查。完形填空选择了一篇自叙体记叙文，突出了积极价值取向，具有一定的社会教育意义。阅读理解仍然选材丰富，题材和体裁多样，考查主旨大意类试题略有减少，事实细节类试题略有增加，整体难度略有降低。阅读表达题查找细节类试题增多，难度略有降低。书面表达与去年相同，仍为应用文，总体表达难度适中。

第一部分：知识运用

第一节：单项填空

1．【考点】本题考查英语并列连词的选择。【答案】C【解析】本题句意为：“给我一个机会，我将还你一个惊喜!”英语中，祈使句后由“and”或“or”连接一个将来时的陈述句是常见的固定旬式，通常前面的祈使句表达一定的“条件”，后面如为顺应的结果则选择“and”连接；如为相反的结果则选择“or”连接，本句属于第一种情况，故答案选C。

2．【考点】本题考查英语情景会话。【答案】B【解析】本题对话句意为：“好吧，我马上来替你修电脑。”“不忙，我不着急。”答语前半部分的“take your time(慢慢来、悠着点)”暗示答话人认为时间充足，不必匆忙，故选项B为正确答案。

3．【考点】本题考查英语名词的辨析。【答案】A【解析】本题句意为：“风力现已成为世界上发展速度最快的能源供应方式了。”四个选项提供的名词分别是：A、source“来源”；B、sense“意识、感觉”；C、result“结果”；D、root“树根”。根据上下文含义，本句正确选项应为A。

4．【考点】本题考查英语表示条件状语的连词选择。【答案】D【解析】本题句意为：“一旦你采用更健康的饮食方式，控制体重就会变得更容易了。”逗号前的成分与主句之间存在明显的条件关系，应选择可引导条件状语从句的连词，根据上下文语境分析，这里的条件并无否定的含义，故排除A，答案选D。

5．【考点】本题考查英语非谓语动词作结果状语。【答案】A【解析】句意为：“她急不可耐地从包裹中取出一条裙子来试穿了一下，却发现并不合身。”英语非谓语动词中的不定式经常与only连用，放在句尾做结果状语，一般表示“出乎意外的结果”，选项A符合上述情况，为正确答案。

6．【考点】本题考查介词短语的使用。【答案】B【解析】本题句意为：“除了学校外，村里还有一个诊所也是由政府资助建成的。”所给四个选项中只有B项“In addition to”表示“除此之外……还有……”，强调在原基础上的一种叠加的关系，与上下文语义相符，故答案应选B。

7．【考点】本题考查英语非谓语动词作状语。【答案】C【解析】本题句意为：“经过仔细和精心地撰写，这本书将会给那些想寻求自己的答案的学生提升信心。”依句意及结构来判断，逗号前应为原因状语，非谓语动词中的分词可用作原因状语，由于空白处与句子主语“book”之间存在被动关系，故应使用过去分词，此题答案为C。

8．【考点】本题考查英语冠词的用法。【答案】A【解析】本题句意为：“人生就像一片大海，只有意志坚定者才能到达彼岸。”第一空后的“ocean”这里泛指“海洋”(注：并非特指特定的海域名称)，其单数情况下应加不定冠词“an”。第二空后的“strong-willed”是形容

词，应加定冠词“the”特指具备该特征的一类人的总称。故根据上下文含义，本句正确答案应为A。

9．【考点】本题考查语境条件下英语动词词组搭配。【答案】B【解析】本题句意为：“我的父母总是极为重视我所接受的良好教育。”英语中“attach importance to”为固定词组，意为：“着重于……；对……给予重视”。根据上下文句义，这里正确选项应为B。10．【考点】本题考查英语情景对话。【答案】A【解析】本题对话句意为：“你学习英语有多久了?”“大约四个月吧。”“不可能(你一定在开玩笑)!你的英语已经说得那么好了。”根据设空后半句句义，问话人显然对“四个月”的回答感到不可思议。故A选项为正确答案。11．【考点】本题考查英语时态和语态。【答案】C【解析】本题句意为：“我们将在所有准备工作完成后开始工作。”本句为含有“until”引导的时间状语从句的复合句，依据主“将”从“现”的原则，从句中表示将来情况应使用与现在有关的时态，由于从句中动作含有完成的意义，故选项C为正确答案。

12．【考点】本题考查英语介词加关系代词型定语从旬的使用。【答案】B【解析】本题旬意为：“英语是一种被多个多元文化所共享的语言，每一种文化使用英语时都会产生一些差异。”依结构与句意分析，逗号后应为非限定性定语从句，所修饰的先行词“cultures”在从句中作介词“of”的宾语，应由关系代词“which”来引导，由于从句的谓语动词“uses”为单数，故其主语应为each，而不是“all”。因此本题正确答案为B。

13．【考点】本题考查语境条件下动词短语的应用。【答案】D【解析】本题句意为：“这两个国家意欲通过协商打破两国间的贸易壁垒。”四个选项提供的短语动词分别是：A、make up “组成，弥补”；B、use up“用光，耗尽”；C、turn down“出现，发现”；D、break down “摧毁(障碍)，打破(壁垒)”，根据上下文句意，D选项为正确答案。

14．【考点】本题考查英语名词性从旬的使用。【答案】A【解析】本题句意为：“我觉得他的油画作品给我留下深刻印象的是他对色彩的使用。”本句为含名词性从句的复合句，“I think”后面的宾语从旬中“is the colours”前为主语从句，该主语从句中缺少主语且无疑问的含义，应使用连接代词“what”来引导，因此正确选项为A。

15．【考点】本题考查语境条件下英语虚拟条件句的使用。【答案】D【解析】句意为：“假如赶上早晨的火车，他就不会耽误开会了。”不难看出本句为针对过去情况的虚拟条件旬，但在条件从句中没有连词“if”，同时其谓语出现部分倒装的情况，在if引导的条件从旬中，如果有were，had和should，可省掉if，并将以上词提至句首采用倒装形式，此种现象亦称为“倒装虚拟条件句”。正确答案应为D。

第二节：完形填空

完形填空与去年相比难度接近。文体仍选择了记叙文体，讲述了一位孩子的母亲，当只身被派往遥远的巴西工作，需要在家庭和事业之间做出艰难的抉择时，以浅显的学生“跳级”为例，与孩子讲暇道理，很好地处理了家庭和亲子关系，既兼顾了事业，同时也教育了孩子，培养了他此后的独立生活能力。文章主题鲜明，语言质朴无华，通俗易懂，可读性强，传递了真实情感。结尾处作者发自肺腑的感言，凸显了对母亲以身作则，以榜样作用育人的感恩心理，体现了积极向上的价值观。

16．【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的“后位照应”。【答案】B【解析】母亲在下文用“skip a grade(跳级)”表示公司这次的工作调动对她而言是“提升”，而非“引诱”、“惊吓”或简单地“表扬”，据此应选B，而A、C、D选项均不符合句意。

17．【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的“常识推断”。【答案】C【解析】根据常识可知，一个学生只有学业优秀才有可能“跳级”。英语中“do well”一般指在学习、考试中取得良好成绩，C选项与上下文语境相符，为正确答案。

18．【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的“措辞界定”。【答案】A【解析】“跳级”的结果自然是你要脱离原来的班级，“离开”你原来的老朋友，在新环境中去结识新朋友，所以这里正确答案应选A。

19．【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的“上文照应”。【答案】C【解析】根据上文“She gave me a hug and asked me to think about it．I was puzzled．”可知作者当天夜里的其余时间一直在反复思考母亲提出的问题。C选项“wondering(疑惑着；想知道)”与上文的“puzzled(困惑的、茫然的)”语义相近，为正确答案。

20．【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的“后位照应”。【答案】D【解析】设空所在句的意思是：“……这是第一次，我意识到成年人必须做出决定有时是多么艰难。”经过一夜的思索，使作者体会到大人有时在事业和家庭中做出选择是非常不容易的，另外，第三段25空后面“I started to appreciate the tough choices she had to make on balancing family and work．”也为此题选择“tough(困难的)”给予了提示，故选项D为正确答案。

21．【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的“上文照应”。【答案】A【解析】根据E文作者提到四年里，母亲几乎每天都会从巴西给作者打来电话，不难想到，每天晚上作者都会急切地等待着电话铃声响起，然后告诉母亲他一天中度过的每一个细节。选项A“eagerly(迫不及待地，渴望地)”填在这里与上下文语义相符，为正确答案。

22．【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的“后位照应”。【答案】B【解析】根据下一句作者描述的主人公在家中的状态…“it was difficult not to feel lonely at times(有时我很容易感受到孤独)”，可以看出仅仅一个电话并不能完全取代母亲在身边，B选项“presence(到场、存在)”符合上下文语义，为正确答案。

23．【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的“措辞界定”。【答案】C【解析】根据下文“how lonely my mother must have been in Brazil herself”可知母亲在巴西住的公寓不可能是热闹、充满温馨的，四个选项中C选项“empty(空旷的、空落落的)”可以与“1onely(寂寞的、孤独的)”相互对应，符合上下文语义，为最佳答案。

24．【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的“综合照应”。【答案】B【解析】设空所在句的完整句意是：“看着她住的大而空旷的公寓，我开始意识到母亲一个人在巴西有多么孤独。”不难看出作者此时对母亲的生活有了新的认识，B选项“become aware of (知道、发觉)”与上下文语义相符，故为正确答案。

25．【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的语法限定。【答案】D【解析】根据语法结构判断，设空所在句为一强调句式，四个选项中，只有D选项“that”可以引导强调句式，敌为正确答案。26．【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的“措辞界定”。【答案】B【解析】设空所在句的意思是“此时，我才真正开始领会到母亲在平衡家庭和事业之间做出了多么艰难的抉择。”显然，母亲的选择是在事业和工作二者之间求得“平衡”，而不是“放弃(A)”、“比较(C)”或“混合(D)”，故B选项“balancing”与上下文语义相符，为正确答案。

27．【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的“措辞界定”。【答案】C【解析】设空所在旬的意思：“母亲过去经常告诉我，面对一些艰难的决定，你时常会无法确定你是否做出了正确的选择……”，只有C选项“faced with”可以表示“面临、面对着”，与上下文语义相符，为正确答案。

28．【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的“同义参照”。【答案】C【解析】设空所在句的意思是：“你可能并不知道你是否做出了正确的选择，但你总可以用激情和积极的态度把任何事情做到最好。”英语中经常使用“and”将两个意义接近的词并列连在一起“passion(激情)”和“positive attitude(积极态度)”意义相近，且符合上下文，故C选项为正确答案。29．【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的“措辞界定”。【答案】D【解析】设空所在句的意思是：

“回到家里，我时常提醒我自己，母亲能做到的事情，我也能做到”。四个选项中，只有D 选项“reminded”可以表示“提醒、使想起”，与上下文语义相符，为正确答案。

30．【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的“后位照应”。【答案】A【解析】设空所在句的意思是：“如果她能够做到独自在里约生活，我也能做到自己独立生活。”四个选项中，只有A项“managed”可以表示“设法做到”，最符合句意。

31．【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的词语“前后呼应”。【答案】C【解析】句意参见上一题解析。四个选项中，“independent”可与上文的“live all by herself”意义呼应，故选项C填在此处最为合适。

32．【考点】本题考查语篇理解中“措辞界定”。【答案】D【解析】本题涉及词块搭配。设空所在句的意思是：“我学会了如何照顾自己及如何设定有一定高度且可以实现的目标。”根据上下文，四个选项中，只有D选项“goal(目标)”可以与“high”和“achievable”同时搭配，故D为正确答案。

33．【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的“措辞界定”。【答案】B【解析】设空所在句的意思是：“母亲现在回到了我们身边，但我将永远不会忘记这段经历所教会我的东西”．上文所讲的是作者亲身体验到的经历，而不是“问题(A)”、“历史(C)”或“场合(D)”，故B选项为正确答案。

34．【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的“措辞界定”。【答案】A【解析】设空所在句的意思是：“(母亲所做的)牺牲终于有了回报”。英语中“pay off”有“得到好结果，取得回报”的意思，与上下文语义相符，故A项为正确答案。

35．【考点】本题考查语篇理解中词语“主题呼应”。【答案】A【解析】设空所在句的意思是：“我们之间的这段分离的日子已经证明是我的一件幸事。”结尾处作者发自肺腑的感言，表达了她对母亲以身作则的榜样作用的感谢之情。四个选项中，只有“blessing”可以表示“赐福、福气，幸事”，与上下文语义相符，故A选项为正确答案。

第二部分：阅读理解

今年阅读理解部分要求考生能够读懂符合其认知水平的各类简短文字材料，选材丰富，题材和体裁多样，包括应用、记叙、说明及议论文体等，内容有一定的知识性、趣味性和思想性；可读性强且时代感浓。对词汇要求虽整体上略有下降，但仍然有部分超纲词汇没有中文注释，需要考生去猜测；篇数为四篇，试题数量仍为20题，每题2.5分，阅读量与去年基本持平，阅读速度仍达到每分钟70个单词左右。主要考查考生在细节理解、推理判断、归纳主旨大意等方面的能力，总体难度与去年相近，尤其是c、D两篇文章，难度较大，在一定程度上突出了阅读教学在高中英语教学中的重要地位。

阅读理解A篇的题材是：(应用文——TWU大学指南)简明扼要介绍了TWU university(加拿大西三一大学)校内不同区域设施的功能及相关规定。

36．【考点】本题考查考生的细节查找能力。【答案】C【解析】题目问的是TWU大学食堂都具备哪些功能。作者在文章Food部分提到：“It serves snacks(小吃)，drinks，ice cream bars and meals．…Even if you do not buy your food in the cafeteria，you can use the tables to eat your 1unch，to have meetings and to study．(……即使你不买食物，你仍然可以在餐厅里吃你自带的午餐，与他人晤面和学习)”。C选项“Have meals and meet with friends”与此意吻合，为正确答案，其他选项均部分或全部偏离文义。

37．【考点】本题考查考生的细节判断能力。【答案】A【解析】题目问的是你可以在何时及何处烹饪食物?作者在Relaxation部分提到：“The Globe，located in the bottom level of McMillan Hall，is available for relaxing，studying，cooking，and eating．．．．Hours

are 10 am to 10 pm，c1osed on Sundays．(位于麦克米兰厅底层的Globe可以供学生们放松，学习，做饭，和饮食。……时间是早上10点到晚上10点，星期天关闭。)”故A选项为正确答案，其他选项均部分或全部与题目要求不符。

38．【考点】本题考查考生的细节分析能力。【答案】D【解析】题目问的是the wellness Centre 的使用规则及开放时间。作者在Health部分提到：“the wellness Centre is committed to physical，emotional and social health．A doctor and nurse is available if you have heahh questions or need immediate medical help or personal advice．(健康中心致力于解决身体、情感和社交关系问题。如果你有健康问题或任何医疗需要，医生和护士可以立即给予帮助或提供个人建议)”。可见心理和情感问题也包括在the wellness centre可以提供帮助的项目之中，故D选项“gives advice on mental health”为正确答案。

39．【考点】本题考查考生的细节查找能力。【答案】C【解析】题目问的是通过何种方式你可以从the writing Centre取得帮助。作者在文章Academic Support部分提到：“You can sign up for an appointment on the sign-up sheet outside the door…(你可以通过在门外签署预约注册表报名申请帮助……)”。C选项“By filling in a sign-up form．”与其意相符，为正确答案。

40．【考点】本题考查考生细节查找并归纳分析的能力。【答案】D【解析】题目问的是TWU Express的功能。作者在文章的“Transportation”部分提到TWU Express是一项校内班车服务，“…The shuttle transports students between campus and the shopping centre，leaving from the Mattson centre．(该班车从马特森中心出发，运送学生来往于校园和购物中心之间)”。D选项“To transport students to and from the stores”与其意相符，故为正确答案。

阅读理解B篇的题材是：(科技说明文)介绍了加拿大作家Margaret Atwood所发明的一种远程签名装置——LongPen。

41．【考点】本题考查考生的分析判断能力。【答案】D【解析】题目询问Atwood决定发明LongPen的原因。作者在文章第二自然段开头提到“After many tiring book-signing tours from city to city，Atwood thought there must be a better way to do them．(经历了多次从一个城市到另一个城市累人的图书签售的旅行后，阿特伍德认为肯定有一个更好的方式去完成这项工作)”。由此可见减少签名售书的疲劳强度是Atwood决定发明LongPen的主要原因，故D选项为正确答案。

42．【考点】本题考查考生的细节分析能力。【答案】B【解析】题目问的是LongPen的工作方式。作者在文章第二段提到：“The author writes a personal message and signature on a computer tablet(手写板)using a special pen．0n the receiving end，in another city，a robotic arm fitted with a regular pen signs the book．(作者使用一种特殊的钢笔在个人平板电脑的手写板上写下签名和相关个人信息并传送出去，而在另一个城市的接收端，一个装有普通笔的机械手臂将其签署在书上)”，B选项“It signs a book while receiving the author’s signature．”与此意吻合，为正确答案。其余三个选项都有完全或部分不准确的地方。

43．【考点】本题考查考生的分析、归纳和判断能力。【答案】C【解析】题目询问我们从文章中可以获得对LongPen这项发明的哪些了解。作者在文章第三段叙述了LongPen的发明过程，从一开始并未估计到该设计会那样艰难，到经历了数个版本的失败后，经过不懈努力最终在渥太华成功通过测试运行，并在2006年伦敦书市正式推出。C选项“some versions failed before its test run．”与事实相符，为正确答案。其余三个选项都有完全或部分不准确的地方。

44．【考点】本题考查考生的细节查找能力。【答案】B【解析】题目询问LongPen这项发明将来还可以用于哪些方面。作者在文章第四段指出：“It has several other potential applications．It could increase credit card security and a11ow people to sign contracts from another province．(它还有一些其他潜在的用途。它可以增加信用卡的安全，让人们可以做到隔省签订合同)”。B选项“To improve credit card security”与此意相符，为正确答案。

45．【考点】本题考查考生推理判断的能力。【答案】A【解析】题目问的是：“从第五、六两段中可以推论出什么?”通读这两段可以看到，Atwood也受到一些批评，认为这项发明会终止作家今后的签售旅行，但Atwood认为：“It will be possible to go to places that you never got sent to before because the publishers couldn’t afford it(它提供一种可能性使你能够去到以前因资金问题出版商无法送你前往的任何地方)”。据此可推出Atwood 本意并未打算终止作家今后的签售旅行，只是提供一种更为便捷的签售方式。A选项“Atwood doesn’t mean to end book tours”与此相符，为正确答案。

阅读理解C篇的题材是：(文学性记叙文)作者记述了一次与父亲共同旅行的经历，通过这次旅行作者改变了自己对人生之路的看法。文中对人物的心理活动及沿途的景物做了细致生动的描写。短文语言鲜活地道，情景刻画细腻，文学性较强，不仅有助于学生赏析外文佳作，还能引导学生树立积极的人生观和正确的生活态度。

46，【考点】本题考查考生的归纳推断能力。【答案】C【解析】题目问的是：“从二、三两段中我们可以对父亲了解到什么?”作者在文章的这一部分提到父亲刚刚从IBM公司经理的职位上退休。整整27年来，他的工作了占据了他的思想、他的人生的每一天。而作者却全然不同，他的时间和精力主要花在玩耍和旅行之中，“My father sees me drifting aimkssly，nothing to show for my 33 years but a passport full of funny stamps．He wants me to settle down…(父亲看到我33年漫无目的漂流，除了护照上贴满了有趣的邮票外没有取得任何成就，他想要我安定下来……)”，这说明父亲对作者的生活方式并不满意。C选项“was unhappy with the author’s 1ifestyle”与此意相符，为正确答案。

47．【考点】本题考查考生的查找细节和分析归纳能力。【答案】D【解析】题目问的是作者在与父亲游览Mount Rushmore时产生了哪些新的认识。作者在文章的中间部分中提到这次旅行中他们前往Mount Rushmore拉什莫尔山(位于美国南达科他州，亦称为总统山，上面有雕塑家格鲁·贝格勒姆雕刻的美国最著名四位总统的花岗岩雕像)。在该地的信息中心观看了影片，该片描写贝格勒姆如何花费14年的时间完成这些巨大花岗岩雕像的过程，影片中提到在这项艰巨的工作接近尾声时候，贝格勒姆把最后的一笔交给了他的儿子去完成，作者写到此时的心理：“I ask myself，would I ever devote my life to anything? No directions，no goals．I always used to hear those words in my father’s voice．Now I hear them in my own．(我问自己，我曾经为别人做出过贡献吗?没有方向，没有目标。我总是听到我的父亲对我说这些话。现在我听到它们出现在我自己的声音里)”。通过以上细致的描写，可以看出作者开始对自己以前漫无目的，没有追求的生活态度做出反省。D选项“He should pursue a specific aim in life”与此意相符，为正确答案。

48．【考点】本题考查考生的归纳推理能力。【答案】B【解析】题目问的是划线段落反映了作者怎样的心理变化。作者在文章的后半段提到与父亲在黄石公园野餐时曾问过父亲是否幼时与父母旅游过，父亲回答说“只有过一次。我一向与我父亲交流甚少。但我们彼此深爱着对方尽管我们从不说出来。只要能做到，无论什么他都愿意拿出来给我。”作者在划线部分指出，这些也正是作者想要对父亲说的话，同样也是作者希望将来有一天听到自己的孩

子对自己说的话，作者的上述感言表达了自己对父辈、对子女的关爱的深切体会。B选项“comes to understand what parental love means”与此意相符，为正确答案。49．【考点】本题考查考生根据文章上下文推理判断的能力。【答案】D【解析】题目要求对作者和父亲的未来做出合理的推断。从文章结尾处的两个细节——父亲在电话中提到他已计划下次旅行，而作者说他已决定定居下来并已戴上了随时提醒他作息时刻的手表——不难看出他们两人都开始改变了自己对生活的态度。D选项“They begin to change their attitudes to 1ife”与此意相符，为正确答案。

5O．【考点】本题考查考生归纳主旨大意的能力。【答案】C【解析】题目要求给短文拟一标题。纵观全文，作者在文章中主要记叙了一段与父亲共同旅行的经历，同时描写了他与父亲在旅途中对生活态度产生改变的心路历程，C选项“A Journey with Dad”最接近文章的寓意，为正确答案。

阅读理解D篇的题材是：(议论文)它以该如何看待传统的步行为题，用精辟的语言阐述了作者的观点——我们应该抛弃以车代步的观念，提倡步行，这才是一种最有益于健康的生活方式。

51．【考点】本题考查考生的归纳判断能力。【答案】C【解析】题目问的是：“文章中提到的全民性的疾病是什么?”作者在文章第二段以一个简单的例子——他连到邮局寄个小包裹(这实际上只有不到28l步阶梯的距离)都要开着车去——说明现代人对汽车有多么的依赖。他把这种现象称为“motorosis”，这是由motor(汽车)和osis(病症)合成的一个词，可以解释为“汽车依赖症”，C选项“Driving cars too much”与此意相近，是本题正确答案。52．【考点】本题考查考生的细节归纳分析能力。【答案】A【解析】题目问的是作者年轻时人们的生活方式。作者在文章的第三自然段阐述了自己年轻时人们传统的出行方式是步行。“At that time，we regarded 25 miles as a good day’s walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as a sign of strength and skill．(我们那个时候，步行25英里被看作一天里自然而美好的事情，能够在十个小时内走完这样的距离被认为是一个人身体强壮和灵巧的标志)”。A选项“People usually went around on foot”与此意吻合，为正确答案。

53．【考点】本题考查考生的推理判断能力。【答案】B【解析】题目问的是作者在文章中提到Henry Thoreau是为了什么?作者在第五自然段首句指出，正是Henry Thoreau为我们人类展示了步行的丰富内涵和意义。“The man walking can learn the trees，f1owers，insects，birds and animals，the significance of seasons，the very feel of himself as a living creature in a 1iving world．(一个徜徉在大自然中的步行者可以接触并了解树木，花朵，昆虫，鸟类和动物，体验季节变换的意义，可以真正感受到自己作为一个生物生活在真实的世界里)”。B选项“walking in nature helps en rich one’s mind”与Thoreau这句话意义相近，为正确答案。

54．【考点】本题考查考生的推理判断能力。【答案】A【解析】题目问的是在第六段中作者用“a steel river”来比喻什么?作者在文章第六段中提到，许多现代人把驾车出行当作唯一的生活方式，他们不再敢接近大自然，他们把生来就享有的世界看成了一个到处充满了威胁的地方。他们的安全只存在于一个在混凝土路面上咆哮的“钢流”里。显然，这里的“a steel river”指的是汽车。A选项“A queue of cars”与此意相近，是正确答案。

55．【考点】本题考查考生总结作者的写作目的的能力。【答案】D【解析】在文章的结尾作者总结说：“I say that the green of forests is the mind’s best light．And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting．(我要说：最美的心灵

之光存在于大森林的绿色之中，只有一个步行者才可以真正评估基本和永恒的定义)”。纵观全篇，作者一直在倡导人们回归步行——这种人类最自然的出行方式。所以D选项“To encourage people to return to walking”最准确地反映了作者的写作目的，是正确答案。第三部分：写作

第一节：阅读表达

今年的阅读表达与去年相比难度相对较低，文章内容较容易理解。考生在答题时要注意避免写作时易犯的语言错误。

56．【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的细节查找能力。【答案】She helps transform literature into braille(for blind readers/the blind)．【解析】作者在文章第一段第二、三两句话中提到：“Once a week she still drives to the Canadian National Institute for the B1ind(CNIB) in Toronto，where she helps transform literature into braille to bring the power of story and knowledge to the hearts and minds of blind readers．”直接说明了Doris Low年届90岁仍在从事的工作。但学生解答时要注意字数限制，要将上述主要内容择出，并缩减在10词以内，回答重点要落在“transform literature into Braille”这几个词上。

57．【考点】本题考查考生根据上下文分析归纳原因的能力。【答案】(Because)her mother’s eyes began to fail and she heard an/the advertisement．【解析】根据文章第三段内容可知Doris Low的母亲喜欢阅读，但晚年视力减弱，不得不依靠Doris Low替她阅读。当Doris Low读到一则教授盲文的广告时，她决定学习盲文，以便更好地为包括母亲在内的盲人服务。答案应该与上述内容有关。

58．【考点】本题考查考生根据上下文猜测词义的能力【答案】Difficult/Hard/Tiring/Tough．【解析】根据划线词后破折号所做的解释：“she could get to the end of a page，make a mistake on the last 1ine．and have to do the whole thing again(她有时已经读到一整页的末尾，但在最后一行出了个差错，不得不返工又一次从头开始)”，可见这项工作的艰难，单词strenuous应该与上述内容有关。

59．【考点】本题考查考生根据上下文查找并归纳细节的能力。【答案】she has brai1led and proofread hundreds of books，and read books on to tape.【解析】根据文章的三、四、五段内容，我们知道Doris Low至少为CNIB做了下列工作．braille transcribing；proofreading；reading books on to tape。答案应该与上述内容有关，但解答时要注意字数限制。

60．【考点】本题考查考生在理解的基础上适当表达自己观点的能力。【答案】Low is kind and helpful because she has devoted much time to transcribing books into braille as a volunteer．

0r：Low is a kind-hearted lady with a positive attitude toward life because she takes delight in helping others．【解析】本题属于发挥性试题，考生只要阐明自己的观点，注意不要出现表达错误就可以得分了。

第二节：书面表达

今年书面表达题仍然是应用文体，要求写一篇电子邮件，为下学期将到你班学习的美国学生Chris介绍相关情况。书面表达题材现实，实用性强；贴近考生生活实际，语境真实，能激发考生写作灵感，使考生有话可说，也可以使考生将所学语言知识运用于日常交际中，总体表达难度适中。

内容要点有：

(1)表示欢迎；

(2)介绍与本地生活相关的信息(如气候、饮食等)；

(3)介绍本班情况；

(4)希望Chris做哪些事情，以增进中美学生问的了解和友谊。

今年书面表达具有如下特点：

1、试题以向即将来你班学习的外国交换生介绍相关情况为由写一篇电子邮件，实用性强，重点考查考生用语言做事情的真实交际能力。

2、题目要求与真实的学校生活贴近，为考生创设了语言表达和应用的鲜活语境。

3、信息提示中“希望Chris做哪些事情，以增进中美学生间的了解和友谊”需要考生适当发挥，具有一定的开放性，有利于培养考生的社会责任感和独立思考能力。

One possible version：

Dear Chris

I’m Li Jin, monitor of Class One, Grade Eleven. I’m delighted to hear that you will come to our school as an exchange student next term．I feel it an honor for us to study with you．Now I have something to tell you．Firstly，with the climate changing，you should prepare enough clothes．Then it is different kinds of foods and snacks that give you the chance to experience abundant Chinese food culture．In addition，every student can be in harmony with foreign friends，which makes it easy for you to get along with them．

Last but not least，we can do what we can to help you，but you must get prepared to meet all kinds of difficulties．During your stay here，I hope you can tell us more about American culture．Only by understanding and learning from each other can we spend these days together happily．

Yours,

Li Jin

2017年6月天津高考英语卷子阅读C、D翻译

2017 6月 D I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing a ll of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the iss ue, let?s take a look at three types of “waits”. The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most anno ying of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink (洗碗池) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it?s full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wan ders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of w ait makes the waiter helpless and mindless. A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. “Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand fi ve minutes.” I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After a ll, Forced Waiting requires patience. Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type of wait is u nusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen. Turning one?s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optim ists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn?t co me to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody. We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you?rstanding at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you?ll have to eat until a large bag of c ash falls out of the sky, don?t be desperate. You?re probably just as busy as the next guy. 我在某个地方读到过，我们花了整整三分之一的时间在等待。但是，我们在哪里做这些等待呢?对于像我们这样一个没有耐心的社会来说，这意味着什么呢?为了理解这个问题，让我们来看看三种类型的“等待”。等待是最纯粹的等待。毫无疑问，这是最令人讨厌的。以厨房洗涤槽为例。当这一切发生的时候，你绝对不能做任何事情，但要让双眼紧盯着水槽，直到它满了为止。在等待的过程中，大脑会从身体上滑出，四处游荡，直到水从柜台边缘流到你的袜子上。这种等待使侍者变得无助和没有头脑。守望者的表弟是被迫等待的。这需要一点自律。做好包装的面汤，需要有强迫的等待。非常具体的方向。将三杯开水煮沸，加入混合物，煮三分钟，从火中取出，放五分钟。我怀疑是否有人严格遵守了程序。毕竟，强迫等待需要耐心。也许最强大的等待是幸运的等待。这种等待是不寻常的，因为它大部分是自愿的。不像强迫等待，这也是自愿的，等待你的幸运休息并不一定意味着它会发生。把一个人的生命变成等待的游戏需要信念和希望，这对我们中间的乐观主义者是严格的。表面上看，这似乎很荒谬，就像在汤混合上的说明一样，但幸运的是，那些愿意去做的人却在等待。只要你不依赖它，希望有几件好事不会伤害到任何人。我们确实花了很多时间等待。下次你“站在水池边，等着它装满你要吃的面条汤，直到一大袋现金从天上掉下来，不要绝望。”你可能和下一个人一样忙。 C

Christmas is less than two months away, and little ones are already planning their letters to Santa. But one survey has revealed the weirdest items to turn up on Christmas lists, and they include mythical monsters and mega-selling pop stars. Conducted by GAME, the study also reveals a significant break from festive tradition when it comes to writing wish lists. One in three, 29%, children now use technology such as iPads or mobile phones instead of the traditional pen and paper, while a further one in five (19%) will rely on parents to take note of all the things they point at during TV adverts and during trips to the shops. With more than three million lists likely to be drafted, parents are prepared for a flurry of requests including many that even Santa would struggle to achieve. As part of the study, parents were asked to reveal some of the weird and wonderful items that made it onto their child's Christmas lists. Fred Prego, marketing director at GAME, says: "Choosing what to get your kids at Christmas can be a bit of a minefield(雷区).” As the research shows, most kids will be making note of the things that they want this half term and a lot of lists are going to be written." 21. The underlined word “overdrive” in paragraph one means _______. A. running with a high speed B. slowing down sometimes C. driving forth and backwards D. getting stuck somewhere 【答案】：A 【解析】：根据背景可知，孩子们在选择圣诞礼物时，要求颇多，在脑风暴什么礼物时，想象力也十分充沛。overdrive v.& n.大脑“高速运转”。
