ComprehensionDirections:There are four passages in this section.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them the re are fourchoices marked A,B,C,and D.You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET 1.(40 points)Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Last weekend Kyle MacDonald in Montreal threw a party to celebrate the fact that he got his new home in exchange for a red paper clip.Starting a year ago,MacDonald bartered the clip for increasingly valuable stuff,including a camp stove and free rent in a Phoenix flat.Having announced his aim(the house)in advance,MacDonald likely got a boost from techies eager to see the Internet pass this daring test of its networking power.“My whole motto(座右铭)was‘Start small,think big,and have fun’,〞says MacDonald,26,“I really kept my effort on the creative side rather than the business side.〞Yet as odd as the MacDonald exchange was,barter is now big business on the Net.This year more than 400,000 companies worldwide will exchange some$10 billion worth of goods and services on a growing number of barter sites.These Web sites allow companies to trade products for a virtual currency,which they can use to buy goods from other members.In Iceland,garment-maker Kapusalan sells a third of its output on the booming Vidskiptanetid exchange,earning virtual money that it uses to buy machinery and pay part of employee salaries.The Troc-services exchange in France offers more than 4,600 services,from math lessons to ironing.This is not a primitive barter system.By creating currencies,the Internet removes a major barrier—what Bob Meyer,publisher of BarterNews,calls“the double coincidence of wants.〞That is,two parties once not only had to find each other,but also an exchange of goods that both desired.Now,they can price the deal in virtual currency.Barter also helps firms make use of idle capacity.For example,advertising is “hugely bartered〞because many media,particularly on the Web can supply new ad space at little cost.Moreover,Internet ads don’t register inindustry-growth statistics,because many exchanges are arranged outside the formal exchanges.Like eBay,most barter sites allow members to“grade〞trading partners for honesty quality and so on..Barter exchanges can allow firms in countries with hyperinflation or nontradable currencies to enter global trades.Next year,a nonprofit exchange called Quick Lift Two(QL2)plans to open in Nairobi,offering barter deals to 38,000 Kenyan farmers in remote areas.Two small planes will deliver the goods.QL2 director Gacii Waciuma says the farmers are excited to be“liberated from corrupt middlemen.〞For them,barter evokes a bright future,not a precapitalist past.41.The word“techies〞(Line 4,Para 1)probably refers to those who are___.A.afraid of technologyB.skilled in technologyC.ignorant of technologyD.incompetent in technology42.Many people may have deliberately helped Kyle because they___.A.were impressed by his creativityB.were eager to identify with his mottoC.liked his goal announced in advanceD.hoped to prove the power of the Internet43.The Internet barter system relies heavily on___.A.the size of barter stiesB.the use of virtual currencyC.the quality of goods or servicesD.the location of trading companies]44.It is implies that Internet advertisements can help___.A panies make more profitB panies do formal exchangesC.media register in statisticsD.media grade barter sites45.Which of the follow is true of QL2 according to the author?A.It is criticized for doing business in a primitive way.B.It aims to deal with hyperinflation in some countries.C.It helps get rid of middlemen in trade and exchange.D.It is intended to evaluate the performance of trading partners. Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:The lives of very few Newark residents are untouched by violence:New Jersey’s biggest city has seen it all.Yet the murder of three young people,who were forced to kneel before being shot in the back of the head in a school playgroundon August 4th,has shaken the city.A fourth,who survived,was stabbed and shot in the face.The four victims were by all accounts good kids,all enrolled in college,all with a future.But the cruel murder,it seems,has at last forced Newarkers to say they have had enough.Grassroots organizations,like Stop Shooting,have been flooded with offers of help and support since the killings.Yusef Ismail,its co-founder,says the group has been going door-to-door asking people to sign a pledge of non-violence.They hope to get 50,000 to promise to“stop shooting,start thinking,and keep living.〞The Newark Community Foundation,which was launched lastmonth,announced on August 14th that it will help pay for Community Eye,a surveillance(监视)system tailored towards gun crime.Cory Booker who became mayor 13 months ago with a mission to revitalize the city,believes the surveillance program will be the largest camera and audio network in any American city.More than 30 cameras were installed earlier this summer and a further 50 will be installed soon in a seven-square mile area where 80%of the city’s recent shootings have occurred.And more cameras are planned.When a gunshot is detected,the surveillance camera zooms in on thatspot.Similar technology in Chicago has increased arrests and decreased shootings.Mr.Booker plans to announce a comprehensive gun strategy later this week.Mr.Booker,as well as church leaders and others,believes(or hopes)that after the murder the city will no longer stand by in coldness.For generations,Newark has been paralyzed by poverty----almost one in three people lives below the poverty line----and growing indifference to crime.Some are skeptical.Steve Malanga of the conservative Manhattan Institute notes that Newark has deep social problems:over 60%of children are in homes without fathers.The school system,taken over by the state in 1995,is a mess.But there is also some cause for hope.Since Mr.Booker was elected,there has been a rise in investment and re-zoning for development.Only around 7%of nearby Newarkairport workers used to come from Newark;now,a year,the figure is 30%.Mr Booker has launched a New York-style war on crime.So far this year,crime has fallen 11%and shootings are down 30%(through the murder rate looks likely to match last year’s high).46.What happened in Newark,New Jersey on August 4th?A.The Newark residents witnessed a murder.B.Four young people were killed in a school playground.C.The new mayor of Newark took office.D.Four college students fell victim to violence.47.Judging from the context,the“Community Eye〞(Line5,Para 2)is_____A.a watching system for gun crimeB.a neighborhood protection organizationC.an unprofitable community businessD.a grassroots organization48.We learn from the passage that Newark has all the following problems EXCEPT_____A.violenceB.floodC.povertyD.indifference49.Mayor Booker’s effort against crime seem to be______A.idealisticB.impracticalC.effectiveD.fruitless50.The best title for the passage may be_____A.Stop Shooting,Start Thinking,and Keep LivingB.Efforts to Fight against Gun CrimesC.A Mission to Revitalize the CityD.Violent Murders in NewarkQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:According to a recent survey on money and relationships,36 percent of people are keeping a bank account from their partner.While this financial unfaithfulness may appear as distrust in a relationship,in truth it may just be a form of financial protection.With almost half of all marriages ending in divorce,men and women are realizingthey need to be financially savvy,regardless of whether they are in a relationship.The financial hardship on individuals after a divorce can be extremely difficult,even more so when children are involved.The lack of permanency in relationships,jobs and family life may be the cause of a growing trend to keep a secret bank account hidden from a partner;in other words,an〞escape fund〞. Margaret’s story is far from unique.She is a representative of a growing number of women in long-term relationships who are becoming protective of their own earnings.Every month on pay day,she banks hundreds of dollars into a savings account she keeps from her husband.She has been doing this throughout their six-year marriage and has built a nest egg worth an incredible$100,000 on top of her pension.Margaret says if her husband found out about her secret savings he’d hurt and would interpret this as a sign she wasn’t sure of the marriage.〞He’d think it was my escape fun so that financially I could afford to get out of the relationship if it went wrong.I know you should approach marriage as being forever and I hope ours is,but you can never be sure.〞Like many of her fellow secret savers,Margaret was stung in a former relationship and has since been very guarded about her own money.Coming clean to your partner about being a secret saver may not be all that bad.Take Colleen for example,who had been saving secretly for a few years before she confessed to her partner.〞I decided to open a savings account and start building a nest egg of my own.I wanted to prove to myself that I could put money in the bank and leave it there for a rainy day.〞“When John found out about my secret savings,he was a little suspicious of my motives.I reassured him that this was certainly not an escape fund that I feel very secure in out relationship.I have to admit that it does feel good to have my own money on reserve if ever there are rainy days in the future.It’s sensible to build and protect your personal financial security.〞51.The trend to keep a secret bank account is growing because______A.escape fund helps one through rainy daysB.days are getting harder and harderC.women are money sensitiveD.financial conflicts often occur52.The word“savvy〞(Line2,Para 2)probably means_______A.suspiciousB.secureC.shrewdD.simple53.Which inference can we make about Margaret?A.She is a unique woman.B.She was once divorced.C.She is going to retire.D.She has many children.54.The author mentions Colleen’s example to show_____A.any couple can avoid marriage conflictsB.privacy within marriage should be respectedC.everyone can save a fortune with a happy marriageD.financial disclosure is not necessarily bad55.Which of the following best summary this passage?A.Secret SaversB.Love Is What It’s WorthC.Banking HonestyD.Once Bitten,Twice ShyQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:“The word‘protection’is no longer taboo(禁忌语)〞.This shortsentence,uttered by French President Nicolas Sarkozy last month,may have launched a new era in economic history.Why?For decades,Western leaders have believed that lowering trade barriers and tariffs was a natural good.Doing so,they reasoned,would lead to greater economic efficiency and productivity,which in turn would improve human welfare.Championing free trade thus became a moral,not just an economic,cause.These leaders,of course,weren’t acting out of unselfishness.They knew their economies were the most competitive,so they’d profit most from liberalization.And developing countries feared that their economies would be swamped by superior Western productivity.Today,however,the tables have turned---though few acknowledge it.The West continues to preach free trade,butpractices it less and n,meanwhile,continues to plead for special protection but practices more and more free trade.That’s why Sarkozy’s words were so important:he finally injected some honesty into the trade debates.The truth is that large parts of the West are losing faith in tree trade,though few leaders admit it.Some economists are more honest.Paul Krugman is one of the few willing to acknowledge that protectionist arguments are returning.In the short run,there will be winners and losers under free trade.This,of course,is what capitalism is all about.But more and more of these losers will be in the West,Economists in the developed world used to love quoting Jonoph Schumpeter,who said that‘creative destruction〞was an essential part of capitalist growth.But they always assumed that destruction would happen over there.When Western workers began losing jobs,suddenly their leaders began to lose faith in their principles,Things have yet to reverse completely.But there’s clearly a negative trend in a Western theory and practice.A little hypocrisy(虚伪)is not in itself a serious problem.The real problem is that Western governments continue to insist that they retain control of the key global economic and financial institutions while drifting away from global liberalization.Lock at what’s happening at the IMF(International Monetary Fund)The Europeans have demanded that they keep the post of managing director.But all too often,Western officials put their own interests above everyone else’s when they dominate these global institutions.The time has therefore come for the Asians-who are clearly the new winners in today’s global economy-to provide more intellectual leadership in supporting free trade:Sadly,they have yet to do so.Unless Asians speak out,however,there’s a real danger that Adam Smith’s principles,which have brought so much good to the world,could gradually die.And that would leave all of us,worse off,in one way or another.56.It can be inferred that“protection〞(Line 1,Para.1)means________A.improving economic efficiency.B.ending the free-trade practiceC.lowering moral standardD.raising trade tariffs57.The Western leaders preach free trade because________A.it is beneficial to their economiesB.it is supported by developing countriesC.it makes them keep faith in their principlesD.it is advocated by Joseph Schumpeter and Adam Smith58.By“the tables have turned〞(Line 3-4,Para.2)the author impliesthat________A.the Western leaders have turned self-centeredB.the Asian leaders have become advocates of free tradeC.the developed economies have turned less competitiveD.the developing economies have become more independent59.The Western economies used to like the idea of“creative destruction〞because it________A.set a long-term rather than short-turn goalB.was an essential part of capitalist developmentC.contained a positive rather than negative mentalityD.was meant to be the destruction of developing economies60.The author uses“IMF〞was an example to illustrate the point that_______A.European leaders are reluctant to admit they are hypocriticalB.there is an inconsistency between Western theory and practiceC.global institutions are not being led by true globalization advocatesD.European countries’interests are being ignored by economic leaders Section IV TranslationDirections:In this section there is a paragraph in English.Translate it into Chinese and write your translation on ANSWER SHEET 2.(20 points)The term〞business model〞first came into widespread use with the invention of personal computer and the spreadsheet(空白表格程序).Before the spreadsheet,business planning usually meant producing a single forecast.At best,you did a little sensitivity analysis around the projection.Thespreadsheet ushered in a much more analytic approach to planning because every major line item could be pulled apart,its components and subcomponents analyzed and tested.You could ask what-if questions about the critical assumptions on which.your business depended-for example,what if customers are more price-sensitive than we thought?-and with a few keystrokes,you could see how any change would play out on every aspect of the whole.In other words,you could model the behavior of a business.Before the computer changed the nature of business planning,most successful business models were created more by accident than by elaborate design.By enabling companies to tie their marketplace insights much more tightly to the resulting economics,spread sheet made it possible to model business before they were launched.Section V WritingDirections:In this part,you are asked to write a composition according to the information below.You should write more than 150 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.(20

2008年全国卷II高考英语试题分析与答案详解
2008年全国卷II高考英语试题分析与答案详解一、单词辨音该大题突出的特征是划线部分的音标区别度大，较易得出正确答案。
选取的辨音单词基础性强，突出了常用高频率性。
在试题的设计方面，基本上涵盖了（划线部分）元音字母(2.a)考查一个，辅音字母(3.s)考查一个，元音字母＋元音字母组合(5.ai)考查一个，辅音字母＋辅音字母(th)考查一个及元音字母＋辅音字母(our)考查一个的规律。
二、语法和词汇知识这部分考查的语法知识比较全面，基础性很强，语境设计大部是短句，且句中没有生癖的单词，比较容易理解；各选项之间的区分度也比较大。
这我们在做题时肯定都是有体会的。
三、完形填空这是一篇叙述母爱和家庭教育的记叙文，母亲每天给孩子们带的午饭中放入一个纸条，写上对他们的提醒、希望或鼓励，孩子上大学的时候觉得不需要这样了，可是母亲还是一如既往地这样做，至到他毕业。
后来，当儿子毕业后吃到母亲带的午饭却因没有看到纸条而失落时，我们也明白了，那不仅仅是几句话，也包含着一个母亲对孩子们的爱和教育。
读懂这篇文章之后，让我们也深受启发，循着作者的思路，我们来完成这道题目。
我们分析选项的时候会发现，各选项间的区分度是比较大的，如果在理解文章的基础上来做，只要能推测出缺少一个什么意思的词，是比较容易的。
下面我们来结合题目做一下详细的解析：21. 此题可用排除法，纸条是I放在午饭中的，B、D显然不对，A 项carry这个词是携带的意思，与题意也不合，include除包括以外，还有放入，算进去的意思，合题意。
22. 此题要结合前面a thank-you for，既是感谢的时刻，应用special特别的才对。
23. 与上题一样，要结合空后面的意思选择，为要举行的考试或体育比赛写的话，该是鼓励的。
24－26. 可由上下文的意思分析选出。
27. 母亲写条，孩子读。
29. 可由下文提到的我从最小的孩子走了以后，尤其希望大儿子回来推断出大儿子是想回家住几个月。

) A man was tired of living in his old house in the country. He wanted to sell it and buy a better one. He tried to sell it for a long time, but was not successful. So at last, he decided to solve the problem by using an agent. The agent soon put an advertisement on a magazine. A few days later, the owner saw a very attractive picture of the house, with a wonderful description of its gardens, on an expensive magazine. After the house owner had read the advertisement through, he at once telephoned the agent and said to him, "I'm sorry, Jones, but I've decided not to sell my house after all. After reading your advertisement in the magazine, I can see that it's just the kind of house I've wanted to live in all my life." 6.Why did the man want to sell his house? He needed some money. He didn't like to live in the countryside. He didn't like living in it any more. 7.Why did he go to an agent? He failed to sell the house himself. He thought he could get more money from the agent. He had no time to deal with the selling himself. 8.What did the agent do then? He advertised the man's house on a magazine. He sold the house quickly. He painted a beautiful picture of the house. 9.What did the man decide to do at last? To get a house with a beautiful garden. To keep the original house for himself. To sell the house at a much higher price. A young boy was playing with a ball in the street. He kicked the ball so hard that it broke the window of a house and fell inside. A lady came to the window with the ball and shouted at the young boy. The boy was frightened and ran away. A few minutes later he returned and knocked at the door of the house. When the lady answered it, he said, "My father is coming to repair your window very soon." After a few more minutes a man came to the door, tools in hand. The lady let the boy take his ball away. When the man finished repairing the window, he said to the lady, "That will cost you exactly 10 dollars." "But aren't you the father of that young boy?" the woman asked, looking surprised. "No," he answered, equally surprised. "But aren't you his mother?"10.Why did the lady get angry and shout at the boy? Because the boy broke the window of her house. Because the boy almost knocked her down before he saw her. Because the boy's ball hit her in the face. 11.Who did the boy say would come to repair the window? The boy himself. The boy's mother. The boy's father. 12.Why did the lady allow the boy to take the ball away? Because the boy was lovely and honest. Because she believed what the boy said. Because she had already repaired the window. 13.How much money did the repairman ask for when he finished repairing the window? More than ten dollars. Ten dollars in all. Less than ten dollars. 。
