2014年天津高考英语真题及答案
普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语试题(天津卷,解析版)(1)
2014 年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（天津卷）第一部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：单项填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）1.Give me a chance, ________ I’ll give you a wonderful surprise.A.ifB. orC. andD. while【考点】考察特殊句式和连词辨析【答案】C【解析】本题考察的是“祈使句+连词+陈述句”的特殊句式。
该句型相当于：If条件句，+主句；本句相当于：If you give me a chance, I’ll give you a wonderful surprise.在变成条件句时，如果是一个肯定句，就使用连词and；如果成为一个否定句，就使用or；如：Hurry up, or we will be late.相当于：If you don’t hurry up, you will be late.句义：给我一个机会，我就会给你一个惊喜。
故C正确。
【试题延伸】本题中含有特殊句式：祈使句+连词+陈述句=If引导的条件句+主句。
这个句型进一步转换成：名词短语+连词+陈述句。
如果原句中的连词是and,那么可以转换成一个肯定的条件句；如果原句中的连词是or，可以转换成一个否定的祈使句。
【举一反三】________,and I’ll get the work finished.A.Have one more hourB.One more hourC.Given one more hourD.If I have one more hour〖答案〗B〖考点〗本题考查“祈使句+and+简单句”的用法,〖解析〗本题考查“祈使句+and+简单句”的用法, 其中祈使句可转换成名词短语, 如One more word and I’ll beat you flat.因此B项正确。
如果选C, D两项, 要去掉and。

of构成句子的主语，修饰先行词cultures，结构为"代词+of+关系代词which/whom"，因此A项符合语境，故选：A．【点评】本题考查非限制性定语从句．解答此类题目首先要分析句子结构，非限制性定语从句中逗号是一个明显的标志，然后分析非限制性定语从句中的成分，如果缺成分用关系代词，如果不缺成分用关系副词．13．（1分）The two countries are going to meet

）A．what B．that C．which D．who【考点】H7：wh﹣引导的主语从句．【分析】我认为他的画给我印象最深的是他使用的颜色．【解答】答案：A．在主语从句中what做主语，指代物；that 只起连接作用，不做句子成分；which哪一个；who做主语，指代人；本主语从句中缺少主语，根据语境可知，物做主语．故选：A．【点评】本题考查主语从句，要掌握主语从句的定义，同时要学会划分句子的成分，选择出正确的连接词．15．（1分）________ the morning train，he would not have been late for the meeting．（ ）A．Did he catch B．Should be catchC．Has he caught D．Had he caught【考点】GJ：虚拟语气．【分析】句意：如果他赶上了早班火车，开会就不会迟到了．【解答】答案D．句意：如果他赶上了早班火车，开会就不会迟到了．主句的谓语动词是would not havebeen，说明与过去事实相反，从句则可以用if he had caught the morning train，当if从句中有were、had或者should 时，在可以省略if，把were、had或者should放在句首构成倒装句形式．本句中含有had，所以不用if时，就变成了Had he caught the morning train．故选：D．【点评】虚拟条件句省略if后构成的倒装：当if引导的虚拟条件从句中含有had，were，should等时，如将if省略，则要将had，were，should等移到主语前，构成倒装句：如：Had you come yesterday，you would have seen him．若你昨天来，你就会见到他了．Should you require anything give me a ring．如果需要什么，可以给我打电话．Were it not for your help，I would still be homeless．要不是你帮助，我会仍然无家可归．注：省略if后提前的had不一定是助动词：如：Had I money，I would buy it．假若我有钱，我就会买它．第二节：完形填空（共1小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从16-35各题所给A，B，C，D的四个选项中，选出最佳选项．16．（30分）One night，when I was eight，my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget．"Sweetie，my

world﹣famous Canadian author，Margaret Atwood，has created the world's first long﹣distance signing device（装置），the LongPen．After many tiring…from city to city，Atwood thought there must be a better way to do them．She hired some technical experts and started her own company in 2004．Together they designed the LongPen．Here's how it works：The author writes a personal message and signature on a computer tablet（手写板）using a special pen．On the receiving end，in another city，a robotic arm fitted with a regular pen signs the book．The author and fan can talk with each other via webcams（网络摄像机）and computer screens．Work on the LongPen began in Atwood's basement（地下室）．At first，they had no idea it would be as hard as it turned out to be．The device went through several versions，including one that actually had smoke coming out of it．The investing finally completed，teat runs w ere made in Ottawa，and the LongPen was officially launched at the 2006London Book Fair．From here，Atwood conducted two transatlantic book signings of her latest book for fans in Toronto and New York City．The LongPen produces a unique signature each time because it copies the movement of the author in real time．It has several other potential applications．It could increase credit card security and allow people to sign contracts from another province．The video exchange between signer and receiver can be recorded on DVD for proof when legal documents are used．"It's really fun"，said the owner of a bookstore，who was present for one of the test runs．"Obviously you can't shake hands with the author but there are chances for a connection that you don't get from a regular book signing．The response to the invention has not been all favorable．Atwood has received criticism from authors who think she is trying to end book tours．But she said，"It will be possible to go to places that you never got sent to before because the publishers couldn't afford it．"41．Why did Atwood decide to invent the LongPen？ D ．A．To set up her own companyB．To win herself greater popularityC．To write her books in a new wayC．To make book signings less tiring42．How does the LongPen work？ B ．A．I copies the author's signature and prints it on a book．B．It signs a book while receiving the author's signature．C．The webcam sends the author's signature to another city．D．The fan uses it to copy the author's signature himself．43．What do we know about the invention of the LongPen？ C ．A．It has been completed but not put into use．B．The basement caught fire by accident．C．Some versions failed before its test run．D．The designers were well﹣prepared for the difficulty．44．How could the LongPen be used in the future？ B ．A．To draft legal documents．B．To improve credit card securityC．To keep a record of the author's ideas．D．To allow author and fan to exchange videos45．What could be inferred from Paragraphs 5and 6？ A ．A．Atwood doesn't mean to end book tours．B．Critics think the LongPen is of little useC．Bookstore owners do not support the LongPenD．Publishers dislike the LongPen for its high cost．【考点】O5：科教类阅读．【分析】这是一篇记叙文．短文叙述了Atwood的发明远距离的签名装置﹣Longpen的原因，是为了避免签名带来的烦恼，他的发明经过几次失败后，终于成功了，得到了社会的认可．【解答】41．D 细节理解题．根据"After many tiring book﹣signing tours from city to city，Atwood thought there must be a better way to do them．"可知，Atwood为了使签名不再是令人烦恼的事，而发明了这种远距离的签名装置﹣Longpen，故选D．42．B 细节理解题．根据"The author writes a personal message and signature on a computer tablet using a special pen．On the receiving end，in another city，a robotic arm fitted with a regular pen signs the book．"可知，作者现在电脑上有一支特殊的笔签名，之后用这种机器笔写在要签名的书上．故选B．43．C 细节理解题．根据"The device went several versions，including one that actually had smoke coming out of it．The inventing finally completed．"可知，经过几次试验后，终于试验成功．故选C．44．B 细节理解题．Longpen怎样在未来能够被使用？根据"It has several other potential applications．It could credit card security．"可知，必须保证信用卡的安全，故选B．45．A 判断推理题．根据"It will be possible to go to places that you never got sent to before because the published couldn't afford it．"可以推知Atwood的发明并不意味着阻止作者的签名旅行．故选A．这题干扰最大的是选项D，考生会认为是出版商不喜欢这种产品的高额的费用．【点评】解答细节理解题时，一个常用的方法就是运用定位法，即根据题干和选项中的关键词从原文中找到相关的句子，与选项进行比较从而确定答案；推理判断题既要求学生透过文章表面文字信息推测文章隐含意思，又要求学生对作者的态度、意图及文章细节的发展作正确的推理判断，力求从作者的角度去考虑，不要固守自己的看法或观点．19．（12.5分）"Dad，"I say one day …..take a trip．Why don't you fly and meet me？"My father had just retired…..His job filled his day，his thought，his life．While he woke up and took a warm shower，I screamed under a freezing waterfall Peru．While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch，I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks．My father sees me drfting aimlessly，nothing to show for my 33years but a passport full of funny stamps．He wants me to settle down，but now I want him to find an adventure．He agrees to travel with me through the national parks．We meet four weeks later in Rapid City．"What is our first stop？"asks my father．"What time is it？""Still don't have a watch？"Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore．As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite ，his mouth and eyes open slowly，like those of little boy．"Unbelievable，"he says，"How was this done？"A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14years to thesculpture and then left the final touches to his son．。

2014年高考英语天津卷-答案
2014年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(天津卷)英语答案解析第Ⅰ卷第一部分英语知识运用第一节单项填空1.【答案】C【解析】本题句意为：“给我一个机会！”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，后面如为顺应的结果则选择“and”连“or”连接，本句属于第一种情况，故答案选C。
【考点】并列连词2.【答案】B【解析】本题对话句意为：“好吧，我马上来”“不忙，我不着急。
”答语前半部分的“take your time(慢慢来、悠着点)”，B为正确答案。
【考点】情景会话3.【答案】A【解析】本题句意为：“风力现已成为世界”四个选项提供的名词分别是：A、source“来源”；B、“意识、感觉”；C、result“结果”；D、root“树根”。
根据上下文含义，本句正确选A。
【考点】名词辨析4.【答案】D【解析】本题句意为：“一旦”逗号前的成分与主句之间存在明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A，答案选D。
【考点】条件状语的连词选择5.【答案】A【解析】句意为：“她急不可耐”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。
【考点】非谓语动词作结果状语6.【答案】B【解析】本题句意为：“除了学校外，村里”所给四个选项中只有B项“In addition to”表示，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B。
【考点】介词短语7.【答案】C【解析】本题句意为：“经过仔细和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，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”可知选C。
【考点】非谓语动词作状语8.【答案】A【解析】本题句意为：“人生就像一片大海，”第一空后的“ocean”这里泛指“海洋”(注：并非特指特)，其单数情况下应加不定冠词“an”。

One night，when I was eight，my mother gently asked me a question I would never forget. "Sweetie，my company wants to 16 me but needs me to work in Brazil. This is like your teacher telling you that you've done 17 and allowing you to skip a grade（跳级），but you'll have to 18 your friends. Would you say yes to yourteacher?" She gave me a hug and asked me to think about it. I was puzzled. The question kept me 19 for the rest of the night. I had said "yes" but for the first time，I realized the 20 decisions adults had to make.For almost four years，my mother would call us from Brazil every day.Every evening I’d 21 wait for the phone to ring and then tell her every detail of my day. A phone call，however，could never replace her 22 and it was difficult not to feel lonely at times．During my fourth-grade Christmas break，we flew to Rio to visit her. Looking at her large 23 apartment，I became 24 how lonely my mother must have been in Brazil herself. It was then 25 I started to appreciate the tough choices she had to make on 26 family and work. 27 difficult decisions，she used to tell me，you wouldn't know whether you made the right choice，but you could always make the best out of the situation，with passion and a 28 attitude.Back home，I 29 myself that what my mother could do，I could，too.
