2015年英语高考全国卷二完形填空 详解和译文

2015年英语高考全国卷二完形填空 详解和译文

2015年英语高考全国卷二完形填空详解和译文融合).【语篇导读】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。

作者女儿所在的球队因为这个赛季表现突出而入围锦标赛。

虽然与强手角逐的前两场比赛中失利,但是善于吸取教训的孩子们在周日的比赛中进球了。

通过这次经历,给我们启发,学校里的学习很重要,但是亲身经历和实践是更好的学习和老师。

41.【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的形容词辨析。

【答案】B【解析】学校,朋友,老师,这些都是传统的学习渠道,而非公共的、官方的、特殊的地方。

根据下文But…somewhereelseinstead.可知,这些都是传统意义上的学习的地方。

考查语境中形容词的辨析。

根据首句的意思及“SchoolAfriendAtutor”,再结合生活常识,不难看出,这些都是传统意义上的(traditional)学习途径。

public公共的:official官方的,正式的:special特别的。

均不符合题意。

42.【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的动词词义辨析。

【答案】C【解析】但是很有可能你真正想学的在除此以外的别的地方。

此空是learning的谓语,lie位于,在于。

根据第一句话的Where可知这里是lie,意为“在于”。

考查语境中动词的辨析。

既然你想要的学习方式不是传统的:在学校里跟朋友交流或向导师求教。

那么它很可能会存在于其它地方。

lie(位于,存在于)符合语境。

43.【考点】本题考查语篇理解中的名词辨析。

【答案】D【解析】“我”有机会在一个周末亲眼看到。

firsthand第一手的,亲自的。

A梦想;B观点;C习惯,都不符合句意。

havethechanceof意为“有……的机会”。

考查语境中名词的辨析。

联系下文可知,“我”有机会亲自观看了女儿的一场足球赛并领悟到了这一点。

dream梦想;idea主意;habit习惯。

均与句意不符。

高考完形填空真题解析Wheredoyougowhenyouwanttolearn[评析]这句话起到承上启下的作用,作者有这样一个机会目睹第一手的材料,以下的女儿踢球的故事印证了作者要表达的主题:通过亲自体验和领悟,能够学到更有价值的东西。

2015高考英语真题试卷全国二卷(含答案和解析)

2015年全国统一高考英语试卷(新课标Ⅱ)第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题:每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AMy 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 a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit.I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model.I realized this a day late,when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid.The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night.Fortunately,I didn’t got 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 fist,and it stopped working altogether.My trip to the repair shop cost me$62,and the set 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 can best replace the phrase“signed off”in Paragraph1?A.ended all their programs.B.provided fewer channels.C.changed to commercials.D.showed all-night movies.23.How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A.By shaking and hitting it.B.By turning it on and off.C.By switching channels.D.By having it repaired.24.How does the another sound when telling the story?A.CuriousB.AnxiousC.CautiousD.HumorousBYour house may have an effect on your figure.Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off.You can make your environment work for you instead of against you.Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights.Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating,for people are often less self-conscious(难为情)when they’re in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food.If your home doesn’t have enough window light,get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors.Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites.In one study,people who ate meals in a blue room consumed33percent less than those in a yellow or red room.Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing,while cold colors make us feel less hungry.So when it’s time to repaint,go blue.Don’t forget the clock—or the radio.People who eat slowly tend to consume about70fewer calories(卡路里)per meal than those who rush through their meals.Begin keeping track of the time,and try to make dinner last at least30minutes,And while you’re at it,actually sit down to eat.If you need some help slowing down,turn on relaxing music.It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes,Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat.We eat about22percent more when using a12-inch plate instead of a10-inch plate.When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one,total intake(摄入)jumps by14percent.And we’ll pour about30percent more liquid into a short,wide glass than a tall,skinny glass.25.The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.A.their home comfortsB.their body shapeC.house buyingD.healthy diets26.A home environment in blue can help people_________.A.digest food betterB.reduce food intakeC.burn more caloriesD.regain their appetites27.What are people advised to do at mealtimes?第1页(共7页)A.Eat quickly.B.Play fast music.e smaller spoons.D.Turn down the lights.28.What can be a suitable title for the test?A.Is Your House Making You Fat?B.Ways of Serving DinnerC.Effects of Self-ConsciousnessD.Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?CMore student than ever before are taking a gap-year(间隔年)before going to university.It used to be called the“year off”between school and university.The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源)with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.This year,25,310students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year,according to statistics on university entrance provided by University and College Admissions Service(UCAS).That is a record14.7%increase in the number of students taking a gap year.Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education.“Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with,and complete,their chosen course.Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,”he said.But not everyone is happy.Owain James,the president of the National Union of Students(NUS),argued that the increase is evidence of student had ship—young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education.“New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to £15,000in debt.It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree.NUS statistics show that over40%of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to90%during vacation periods,”he said.29.What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A.It is flexible in length.B.It is a time for relaxation.C.It is increasingly popular.D.It is required by universities.30.According to Tony Higgins,students taking a gap year______.A.are better prepared for college studiesB.know a lot more about their future jobsC.are more likely to leave university in debtD.have a better chance to enter top universities31.How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A.He’s puzzled.B.He’s worried.C.He’s surprised.D.He’s annoyed.32.What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A.Attend additional courses.B.Make plans for the new term.C.Earn money for their education.D.Prepare for their graduate studies.DChoose Your One-Day ToursTour A—Bath&Stonehenge including entrance fees to the ancient Roman bathrooms and Stonehenge—£37until26March and£39thereafter.Visit the city with over2,000years of history and Bath Abbey,the
