2008年高考英语试题·安徽卷(附答案)

People believe that climbing can do good to health. Whe re can you learn the skill of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, yo u’re wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gy ms(体育馆). Here, people are learning on climbing. The climb ing wall goes straight up and small holding places for hands and feet.

How do people climb the wall? To climb, you need spec ial shoes and a harness(保护带) around your chest to hold yo u. There are ropes(绳索) tied to your. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually ab out 15 feet high, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold o n to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the new piece of metal. Som etimes, it’s not. The most difficult is an your fear. It’s norma l for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to fe el fear. But when you move away from the wall, the harness and the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe. You mo ve slowly until you reach the top.

Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for al most everyone. You use your whole body, especially your ar ms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb, both your mind and your body can becom

Some people think that as more and more people have te levisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy bo oks and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, w hen the TV news can bring you the information in a few mi nutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that y ou want to know?

Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newsp apers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind ar e sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with h ard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as pa per-books (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback colle ction of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a boo k for ever and read it many times.

Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasu re and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books., science textbook, cookbooks, and co llections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you c an take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoug hts and feelings of your favorite poets.(from www.nmet168.co m)

C.Books with hard covers sell better than paper-books.

D.More people like TV programs about famous men.

The small number of newborn babies, which has been ca used by high prices and the changing social situation of wom en, is one of the most serious problems in Asia. When peopl e talk about it, you can hear a word invented in Japan. whic h means Double Income Kids(小孩).

In many major Asian cities like Seoul, Singapore, and ** ***, the cost of a house is extremely high. A young couple who want to buy their own house may have to pay about $3 000,000 (though prices have fallen). For a flat with one bedro om, one dining-room, a kitchen, and a bathroom, the couple will pay about $900 a month. What’s more, if they want to h ave a child, the child’s education is very expensive. For exam ple, most kindergarten charges are at least $5.000 a year. In s uch a situation, it’s difficult to afford children.

The number of married women who want to continue wo rking because they enjoy their jobs. However, if they want to have children, they immediately have serious problems. Thou gh most companies allow women to leave their jobs for a sh ort time to have a baby, they expect women with babies to g ive up their jobs. In short, if they want to bring up children properly, both parents have to work, but it is hard for mother s to work. Indeed, women who want to continue working hav e to choose between having children or keeping their jobs.(fro m https://www.360docs.net/doc/6f2937447.html,)

One possible version

Dear David,

I’m glad that you’ve noticed our efforts directed towards environmental protection. Thank you for your concern.

As too much use of plastic bags has caused serious whit e pollution, our government encourages us to use environment -friendly shopping bags. These bags are made of a variety of material that can be easily treated when they become rubbish. Besides, they can be reused. More and more people in Chin a have realized the advantages of such bags and started using them.

I believe that the wide use of these shopping bags can g reatly improve our environment. This is one of the many step s we are to make our country an even cleaner place.

Yours,

Li Hua
