A
Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.
During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.
He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.
Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶) that had been left out on the footpath.
My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.
That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.

【要点综述】本文主要讲述了作者的丈夫来到了一个陌生的城市，一次出去购物回来之后，发现自己的手提箱不见了，里面有他所有的重要的文件，包括护照。就在他孤独无助
的时候，一位陌生人打电话来告诉他，他的女儿捡到了文件。作者的丈夫丢失的东西失而复得，这也增加了他对人们的信任。
21. B细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Arriving in Sydney on his own from India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.”可知，作者的丈夫只身从印度来到了悉尼，在旅馆里短暂停留，同时给作者和孩子们寻找房子住，因此选B。
22. C细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.”可知，这家人从作者的丈夫写给一位朋友的信中找到了作者丈夫的新电话号码，因此选C。
23. D词义猜测题。根据“That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people.”可知，那一家人不仅仅把这些重要的文件归还给了作者家人，而且还把对人的信任归还给了他们；而且根据倒数第二段第一句“My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents.”可知restore表示“归还”。故C正确。
24. C主旨大意题。本文讲述了作者的丈夫到了悉尼后，装有重要文件的手提箱被偷了。在他万般无奈的情况下，有人主动联系他，并归还了那些文件。那些重要的文件在别人看来并不重要，但是对于作者的丈夫来说却是万分重要。只有C项能够说明文章的中心思想。故C正确。

B
Since the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener”towards the environment.“We didn't know at that time that there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it，” says Bruce Anderson, president of Earth Day USA.
But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement.Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement. “The understanding has increased many, many times，” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the
first Earth Day.
According to US government reports, emissions(排放) from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year to 5.5 million tons.The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9.Although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place.A kind of “green thinking” has become part of practices.
Great improvement has been achieved.In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programmes; today in 1995 there are about 6，600.Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.
Twenty-five years ago, there were hardly any education programmes for environment.Today, it's hard to find a public school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of programme.“Until we do that, nothing else will change！” says Bruce Anderson.
25. According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about ________．
A. the social movement
B. recycling techniques
C. environmental problems
D. the importance of Earth Day
26. Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?
A. The grass-roots level.
B. The business circle.
C. Government officials.
D. University professors.
27. What have Americans achieved in environmental protection?
A. They have cut car emissions to the lowest.
B. They have settled their environmental problems.
C. They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.
D. They have reduced pollution through effective measures.
28. What is especially important for environmental protection according to the last paragraph?
A. Education.
B. Planning.
C. Green living.
D. CO reduction.
【要点综述】本文作者通过把美国现在的环境问题和以前的环境问题进行比较，尤其是几项数据的对比，说明了人们的环境保护意识有了很大的提高。环境教育在这其中起了很大的作用。
25. C细节理解题。根据第一段的“‘We didn't know at that time that there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it，’says Bruce Anderson…”可知当时美国人对于环境问题没有足够的认识。
26. A信息理解题。第二段第二句“Business people, political leaders, university professors, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the movement.”强调了这项运动的主要支持者是那些美国的基层民众，因此答案为A。
27. D细节理解题。根据文章的第三段第一句可知汽车和卡车的排放量从10，300，000
吨降到了5，500，000吨，故A项错误；根据第三段第二句可知一氧化碳排放超标的城市的数量从40个降到了9个，故C项错误；根据第三段第三句可知环境问题依然存在，有待解决，故B项错误；本段列举的数据证明了美国人采取了有效措施，减少了环境污染，因此答案为D。
28. A推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“Twenty-five years ago, there were hardly any education programmes for environment.Today, it's hard to find a public school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of programme.”可知，现在几乎每个学校都有环境保护方面的教育内容，这说明教育在环境保护方面起了重要的作用。故A正确。

C
One of the latest trends(趋势) in American childcare is Chinese au pairs. Au Pair in Stamford, Conn, for example, has got increasing numbers of requests for Chinese au pairs from zero to around 4，000 since 2004. And that's true all across the country.
“I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age，” Joseph Stocke, the managing director of a company, says of his 2-year-old son. “I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future.”After only six months of being cared for by a 25-year-old woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.
Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China: she didn't want her children to miss out on their roots.“Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture，” she says.
“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom，”says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of children.“But parents must understand that just one year with an au pair is unlikely to produce wonders. Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 or 12.”
The popularity of au pairs from China has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.
29. What does the term “au pair” in the text mean?
A. A mother raising her children on her own.
B. A child learning a foreign language at home.
C. A professor in language education of children.
D. A young foreign women taking care of children.
30. Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them ________．
A. to live in China some day
B. to speak the language at home
C. to catch up with other children
D. to learn about the Chinese culture
31. What can we infer from the text?
A. Learning Chinese is becoming popular in America.
B. Educated women do better in looking after children.
C. Chinese au pairs need to improve their English skills.
D. Children can learn a foreign language well in six months.
【要点综述】本文介绍了美国出现的一个新的趋势：为孩子找一个中国保姆，这可以让孩子从小接触中文，了解中国文化。
29. D推理判断题。根据第二段Joseph请了一位25岁的女士照顾他两岁的儿子以便儿子学习汉语，以及第三段一位生于中国的母亲让自己的两个孩子接触汉语和中国文化，和第四段一位语言教育学教授提到“通过和说母语的人在一起来学习语言比在教室里学习好”等信息可知，au pair指的是负责照顾孩子的外国女子。
30. D细节理解题。根据第三段中的“‘Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture，’she says.”可知她这样做的目的是让孩子们了解中国的文化。
31. A推理判断题。本文通过列举一些具体的例子，说明了美国的父母们正在兴起“au pairs热”，即通过请说汉语的中国保姆来照顾自己的孩子，让孩子们学习汉语，这说明在美国，汉语正在日益受到欢迎，因此选A。

Tips for cooking on a tight schedule
From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often: ability, money, and time. __36__ Money is a topic I'll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule：
1. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there's nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? __37__
2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? __38__ It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.
3. __39__ This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.
Hopefully that gives you a good start. __40__ And don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!
A. Try new things.
B. Ability is easily improved.
C. Make three or four instead.
D. Understand your food better.
E. Cooking is a burden for many people.
F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.
G. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.
【要点综述】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何在忙碌的生活中享受烹调的乐趣的几条具体的建议，如提前做好规划，一次多做点，尝试一些新鲜的做法等。
36. B根据第一句中的ability, money and time可知人们不经常做饭有三个原因。下文的“Money is a topic I'll save for another day.”和“…about how to make the most of the time…”谈及money和time，故本句谈的是ability的话题。故B符合上下文语境。
37. G根据本段内容可知作者建议提前思考，做好准备，再根据上文“So think ahead of the coming week.”以及下面的问题可知我们要提前做好计划，准备好材料，这样可以节省很多时间和精力。故G项符合上下文语境。
38. C根据“It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something.”可知一次再多做一点(与少做一点相比)花的时间差不多，再根据最后一句“So save yourself the effort for a future meal.”可知一次多做一点还可以为未来节省精力。故作者建议我们一次要多做一些，让我们的时间更有价值。故C正确。
39. A根据本段中的“It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule.”可知它给了“我们”新的想法，新的菜谱。故作者在本段里建议我们要尝试新鲜事物。故A正确。
40. F作者建议我们在忙碌的生活里找到做饭的时间，因为做饭可以给我们带来很多的快乐。根据下文“…don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live！”可知，本句是指要让做饭成为生活中快乐的事情而不是负担。故F项符合上下文语境。

【要点综述】本文讲述了一个生命的奇迹的故事，Simon和Joe一起攀登安第斯山脉的Siula Grande峰，Joe摔断了腿，摔进了冰裂缝，最后他顽强地爬回到了几英里之外的营地。文章告诉我们只要我们遇到困难不放弃，一切都有可能。
41. C根据“Joe Simpson and Simon Yates were the first people to climb the West Face of the Siula Grande…”和on their way back可知他们成功地到达了山顶。
42. A根据but表示转折，与前面的成功攀登构成对比，以及“Joe fell and broke his leg.”可知在回来的途中，他们陷入了困境。
43. D根据“…he would probably get back…”可知，如果Simon一个人继续走的话，他可能会回去。
44. B根据“…he would probably get back…”可知，Simon可能会安全地返回。
45. D根据“…and try to lower Joe down the mountain on a rope…”可知Simon 试图用绳子把Joe送到山下去，这表明他要冒着生命危险，尽全力帮助朋友下山。
46. C在他们继续往下走的过程中，天气变得越来越糟糕。
47. D根据下文的“…Simon lowered his friend over the edge of a precipice(峭壁)．”可知，因为看不清、听不清对方，Simon把Joe送到了一个悬崖边上，说明他们又遇到了另一个麻烦。
48. A根据“They couldn't see or hear each other…Simon lowered his friend over the edge of a precipice(峭壁)．”可知，由于失误Simon把Joe送到了悬崖边上。
49. D Joe再爬上来或者Simon把他拽上来都不太可能。
50. B根据“…was pulling Simon slowly towards the precipice.”可知，由于Joe在悬崖下面悬着，因此他的体重也把Simon往悬崖下面拖拽着，即他们两个都有可能掉下悬崖，丧失生命。
51. A根据“…after more than an hour in the dark and the icy cold…”和“…he cut the rope.”可知，经过在黑暗和寒冷中一个多小时的挣扎，Simon最终做出了决定。
52. C见上题解析。
53. B根据cut the rope和into a huge crevasse可知Joe掉了下去。
54. A根据but和“…to get out of the crevasse and started to…”可知他虽然不能走路了，但是还是设法从裂缝中爬了出来，向着营地移动。
55. C见上题解析。
56. B营地大约有10千米远。
57. D Simon已经安全地返回了山脚。
58. A根据上文Simon割断绳子，Joe掉下悬崖等，和“He thought that Joe must be…”可知，Simon认为Joe一定死了。
59. C虽然Simon认为Joe死了，但是他并不想立即离开营地。
60. B Simon认为Joe已经死了，所以三天后，半夜他听到了Joe的声音，他简直不敢相信。

During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport. He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one. Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath. My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them

A 事实细节题。根据题干中的关键词islands, the Thames可知答案在“March 6th”中。Miranda Vickers 在其报告“Eyots and Aits—Thames Islands”中对泰晤士河中的岛屿做了一个全景的回顾。因此答案为A。 B 【语篇导读】这是一篇记叙文。“我”生活在美国东北部的纽约，那儿的冬季实在让人难以忍受。一次去佛罗里达的Sarasota度周末的机会让“我”深切感受到了宜人的气候是多么令人惬意。尤其是那又大、又软又圆的西红柿。 24. B．推理判断题。由第一段最后一句“dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables”所提供的信息尤其是dulled一词的意义可以推测纽约寒冷的冬季是令人厌烦的。故答案为B。 25. D。事实细节题。根据首段末句可知，让作者最感惬意的事情是逛一逛早七点的农贸市场。因此D项为最佳答案。 26. B。推理判断题。根据第三段第二句可知，作者之所以不再购买冬季的西红柿是因为不论商店里的西红柿看起来多么诱人，买到家里就会变得又干又硬，索然无味。故选B项。 27. C。推理判断题。由最后一段所述可知，Brown’s Grove Farm是新开业的一家餐馆。Jack Dusty是供货方之一。再结合“I was planning to have dinner that very night.”一句可知作者打算去那儿用餐。因此答案为C。 C 【语篇导读】这篇短文主要介绍了现代著名艺术家Dali的作品风格及the world of Dali中的展品情况。28. B。推理判断题。短文首段介绍了艺术家Dali的作品。由“…with an exhibition bring together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more.”一句可知，Dali的作品众多，是一个多产画家。故答案为B。29. A。推理判断题。根据第一段“…the visitors will find the best pieces, most importantly the Persistence of Memory”可知，该作品在Dali的最佳作品中是最重要的，由此可以推断它是Dali的杰作之一。 30. D。事实细节题。根据第二段末句中的“…follo ws a path of time and subject.”可知，Dali的作品是按时间和主题进行布展的。答案选D。 31. A。词义猜测题。由最后一段可知，展出的作品主要来源于两个途径：一是与马德里的一家艺术馆密切合作；一是靠像Salvador Dali Museum这样的机构的捐赠。联系全文大意及前一分句不难推测其它机构捐赠的是艺术作品。因此答案为A。 D 【语篇导读】这是一篇议论文。作者从La Chope咖啡馆的经营特色谈起，介绍了巴黎的一些主题咖啡馆经营理念的变化及其大受欢迎的原因。 32. D。推理判断题。根据短文第一段第二句“”可知，顾客在这里可以学着与他们内心的真实情感取得联系。亦即将自己的真实情感表达出来。故答案为D。 33. A。推理判断题。由第二段“Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle…”一句可知，在过去的几年里，巴黎咖啡馆的生意因法国人生活方式的变化而受损。由此可以推断，人们不再那么频繁地光顾咖啡馆了。因此答案为A。

2015年高考全国卷2英语试题及答案（word精校版） 含详细解析 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）略 第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） A My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed. Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set. When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my first, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the sit is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble. 21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set? A.He got an older model than he had expected. B.He couldn’t return it when it was broken. C.He could have bought it at a lower price. D.He failed to find any movie shows on it. 22. Which of the following an best replace the phrase “signed off” in paragraph 1? A.ended all their programs
