2012北京卷高考英语试题及答案解析
导读：6月9日随着高考英语考试的结束，北京高考也随之结束，关于最后一科英语试卷，无论是家长群中还是在e度论坛上大家的反应都是很难，那么到底难点在哪里呢？又有哪些变化呢？学而思高考研究中心吕腾飞老师在考试过后，对高考英语试卷进行了评析，以下是详细内容。
北京高考从2010年改革之后，今年是第三年。
英语难度整体没有较大起伏，除了10年听力填空题得分率较低（北京市2.2,总分7.5）导致英语平均分下滑，11年和12年试题难题和考点都没有较大变化。
英语卷难度向来有大小年之说，2012年的高考难度如何？体现了什么样的命题趋势？接下来，来自学而思高考研究中心的吕腾飞老师，将会就今年的英语卷进行评析。
一、听力部分——新增非谓语动词和副词的考查，难度加大
2012年英语卷听力部分，共分为3个小节，由短对话、长对话和独白组成。
语速一如既往的“慢”，笔者通过广播与考生同时收听了听力内容，认为此部分的语速介于VOA的Special English和native speaker正常语速之间，比学生常规的听力练习语速要慢。
2012年听力填空部分，一改前两年只考名词、形容词和数字的考点（2011年和2010年分班考查了3个名词、1名形容词和2个名词、2个形容词、1个数字），增加了18题考查副词monthly 和19题动名词。
动词的考查只有在2011的海淀区二模曾经考过。
可以预见的是，此部分学生的失分率较高。
同时17题的电话号码由于有10位之多，估计对数字训练不足的考生容易失分。
二、语法部分——难点频出，陷阱遍布
2010-2012年单选部分语法点和题量分布
从上表不难看出，语法知识点考查变化较大的是，今年增加了对非谓语动词的考查力度。
笔者在教学过程中发现，高中学生语法的容易出错的也恰恰是非谓语动词部分。
其中31题本身不是考查非谓语，但由于选项给学生的误导，容易导致学生从非谓语动词的答题规律分析。
此外，第26题从句和30题时态也是比较有迷惑性的题目。
相比于去年和前年的考卷，语法部分至少有3道题是容易失分的，拿满分有一定难度。
三、完形填空——一个舞者的成长历程
北京完形历年只考记叙文，今年的内容是作者讲述的自己梦想实现的经历。
文章大意很容易理解，考查的词汇主要包括9个名词，5个动词，2个副词，1个动词ing，1个连词，1个形容词，1个介词。
相比去年，名词考查大大增加。
动词考查减少了非谓语动词。
这篇文章的难度是上下文的细节理解和词汇的辨析能力。
考生的词汇运用能力将会决定最终的分数。
四、阅读理解——中规中矩，赢在细心
阅读的第1篇一改常考的记叙文为一篇介绍数学课程的应用文，社体方面细节题居多，最后一题为出处题，考生只要看懂大意就不难判断答案。
第2篇为记叙文，第3、4篇为议论文。
值得一提的是，在D篇中出现了多年不考的结构题。
七选五的文章理解难度不大，答题的关键是挖空地方的上下文逻辑关系，和选项中的代词线索。
总之，阅读部分和往年整体变化不大，关键是做题要细心分析题干题支，搜索分辨文中的有效信息。
五、写作——立意鲜明，难度不大
情景作文，李华同学仍然在红星中学读高三，继去年帮助老师送医院之后，今年是帮助两个外国人指路。
四幅图片，内容很简单，在之前的模拟考试中某个区的考题中涉及到了类似的题目寻找雷锋。
正如笔者在学而思高三的课程中强调的，在立意比较简单的情况下，考生作文想得高分，关键是靠语言的丰富和内容的连贯。
开放作文，画的是两只铅笔，长的铅笔笑话已经用的很短的另一只铅笔。
历年高考只有实现梦想类和对比类，今年考题属于后者。
如果考生能够从年轻人应该尊重长辈，或者年轻是资本，年老就是财富等角度写，相信会比较切题。
纵观整套试卷，相比于前两年，试卷整体难度还是有所增大。
特别是听力部分变化和完形填空的理解，希望即将升入高三的学生能够增大阅读量和词汇运用能力的掌握。

2012年高考北京卷(英语)解释
2012年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（北京卷）英语参考答案与解题提示听力部分略21．【答案】A【命题立意】考查连词。
难度较小。
【解题思路】句意为：看那些乌云！不必担心。
即使下雨，我们也将会玩得很尽兴的。
even if意为“即使，纵然”，“下雨”和“玩得尽兴”之间为让步关系。
故答案选A。
【知识拓展】B项意为“好像”，常用来引导表语从句或方式状语从句；C项意为“万一，如果”，常用来引导目的状语从句或条件状语从句；D项意为“要是，但愿”，常用来引导表示假设虚拟的条件状语从句。
22．【答案】C【命题立意】考查动词时态。
难度中等。
【解题思路】句意为：到你看完这本书的时候，饭菜就凉了。
根据“By the time you have finished this book(到你看完这本书的时候)”可知，“饭菜凉了”所表示的动作发生在“看完这本书”所表示的动作之后，所以要用一般将来时。
故答案选C。
【题眼】本题的解题关键在于正确理解题意，判断“By the time you have finished this book”和“饭菜凉了”所表示的动作发生的先后顺序。
【知识拓展】A项为一般现在时，用来表示现在发生的客观现实情况或真理；B项为现在完成时，用来表示到目前为止已经完成或发生的动作或强调对现在造成的结果或影响；D项为现在进行时，用来表示目前某一时刻或某一阶段正在进行或发生的动作。
23．【答案】D【命题立意】考查并列结构。
难度中等。
【解题思路】句意为：一个人学会一门语言是要通过犯错误并纠正错误来实现的。
连接词and前后应为并列结构，即and前后两种形式要保持一致。
故答案选D。
【知识拓展】英语中常用于并列结构的词还有：but，rather than，as well as, or else, instead of等。
24．【答案】C【命题立意】考查连词。
难度中等。
【解题思路】句意为：杰瑞不后悔作出评论，但感觉自己本可以用一种不同的方式来表达。

These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数) and beyond.The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically.Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. The lectures offer students the chance to ―make sense‖ of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing—and completely understandable—field of study.By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math. They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges.Professor H. Siegel, honored b y Kentucky Educational Television as ―the best math teacher in America,‖ is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious. From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is master in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less scary.With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr. Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College. His courses include various make-up classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers.If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer. Or you can get your money back.56. What does the course Basic Math mainly cover?A. Algebra.B. College Mathematics.C. Arithmetic.D. Mathematics Education.57.

Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. ―What could be causing everyone to act this way?‖Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real talk I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip (掷) a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, ―My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.‖ The w hole world became quite! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around.I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!60.

In one experiment, some of the participants were first stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience; in the other, some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water. In both cases, the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than those who hadn’t gone through the stress.This phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or smoking a cigarette while under stress –at those moments, only the pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind. But the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a double effect. Not only are rewarding experiences remembered better, but negative consequences are also easily recalled.The research also found that stress appears to affect decision-making differently in men and women. While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences under stress, their responses to risk turn out to be different.Men who had been stressed by the cold-water task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the opposite way. In stressful situations in which risk-taking can pay off big, men may tend to do better, when caution weighs more, however, women will win.This tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men: they may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction.64. We can learn from the passage that people under pressure tend to ______.A. keep rewards better in their memoryB. recall consequences more effortlesslyC. make risky decisions more frequentlyD. learn a subject more effectively65. According to the research, stress affects people most probably in their ______.A. ways of making choicesB. preference for pleasureC. tolerance of punishmentsD. responses to suggestions66. The research has proved that in a stressful situation, ______.A. women find it easier to fall into certain habitsB. men have a greater tendency to slow downC. women focus more on outcomesD. men are more likely to take risksDWilderness―In wilderness(荒野) is the preservat ion of the world.‖ This is a famous saying from a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism. The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; more than anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly. The urge to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation(开发) brings to such landscapes(景观) is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans need—the rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities. To Mr.Sauven, these ‖ecosystem services‖ far outweigh the gains from exploitation.Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the opposing view. He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely struggle for survival. While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the argument goes, there is no further reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.I look forwards to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged by the other participants. One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm.This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.67. John Sauven holds that_____.A. many people value nature too muchB. exploitation of wildernesses is harmfulC. wildernesses provide humans with necessitiesD. the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong68. What is the main idea of Para. 3?A. The exploitation is necessary for the poor people.B. Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials.C.

Turn on the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, competing, and generally treating one another with no respect. __72__There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. __73__ Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear.Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top companies report that empathy is one of the most important things they look for in new managers. __74__ ―Academics are important.But if you don’t have emotional (情感的) intelligence, you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,‖ she says.What’s the best way to up your EQ (情商）? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. __75__To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a ―sharing circle‖ with your family, orspend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.A. Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.B. That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, theresearchers said.C. ―One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,‖Freed says.D. Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.E. Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else—both what they thinkand how they feel.F. Good social skills—including empathy—are a kind of ―emotional intelligence‖ that willhelp you succeed in many areas of life.G. Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and havingempathy is decisive to those relationships.第四部分：书面表达（共两节，35分）第一节情景作文（20分）假设你是红星中学高三（1）班的学生李华，校报英文版正在开展―续写雷锋日记‖活动。
