AOlga Murray laughs when she’s called a modern-day abolitionist. It is, however, a fair description.This 82-year-old retired lawyer from California now spends half of her time living in Katmandu, Nepal, where she works to free child slaves.“It’s very difficult to think that in the 21st century, this is a practice,” said Murray. But, she argued, “it’s happening all over the world, and a lot of people don’t know about it.”With her silver hair and fair skin, Murray stands out in Nepal, a poor, landlocked country sandwiched between China and India. With remarkable ease she navigates the messy streets of the capital, where painted yogis and sacred cows are common sights.She is no tourist. She and her organization have come up with a remarkably simple and successful method of liberating hundreds of young female slaves.For generations in Nepal poor families from the countryside have been selling their daughters to wealthy fami lies where the girls, known as “kamlaris”, are forced to do housework.When asked why parents would sell their children, Murray explained, “It’s not because they don’t love them. It’s like they have no choice. Sometimes it’s a choice between selling their girl and feeding the rest of their family.”The practice has become so widespread and socially acceptable that we were able to meet and interview slave girls and their owners.We found Bijani Chaury, an adorable 12-year-old, in the well-appointed home of Ejopal Bijani’s life bears little resemblance（相似）to the plantation-style slavery of pre-Civil War America. There are no chains or farm labor. She is, however, forced to work under threat of violence and for no pay, which is an internationally recognized definition of modern-day slavery.21. Olga Murray went to Nepal in order to _________.A. pay a visit to its beautiful sceneryB. set up an organization for childrenC. liberate young female slavesD. support a new practice about slavery22. According to the passage, Olga Murray __________.A. is still working as a lawyer in CaliforniaB. spends most of time living in NepalC. works as a traffic controller in Nepal streetD. put forward a good way of freeing child slaves23. Kamlaris are those girls who ________.A. are forced to do housework without payB. are sold by their own relativesC. are not liked by their parentsD. have to do farm labor in chains24. The underlined word “abolitionist” in Paragraph 1 refers to a person who ______.A. supports slave-selling tradeB. is in favor of freeing slavesC. approves of working abroadD. volunteers to take care of slavesBLike many men at some point, I dream about opening a bar. I plan to call it Work Out. It will cater (迎合) to married women in need of a little fun. On Friday nights, they will be able to come here and enjoy themselves.See, I have a gift for business. I am, as my wife Zsa Zsa likes to note, “ A man with a million ideas, none of them very good.” Speaking of Zsa Zsa, she is fed up with this plain little life I’ve made for us — too many kids, too many chores, mind-numbing debt. The other day, she said she thought we needed a new family car. “Sure. How about an ’87 Lincoln?” I said, and saw my dear Zsa Zsa age about 20 years, and become her mother right before my eyes.Yes, money is our madness. Last year, we thought we had found a little cushion when I published a book about the life here in suburban America. It sold 12 copies — six of them to my mother. Four other copies went to various aunts and uncles, who used them for martini coasters, then sold them at yard sales. The two remaining copies went to perfect strangers. (I think I owe you dinner, whoever you are. Call me, OK? We’ll arrange something.)When the book didn’t take off, I wrote a TV show. Then I penned a short novel based on the earlier TV idea that didn’t sell. Currently, I am at work on a set of encyclopedias. In a month, I plan to sell them door-to-door.Such is the life of a writer, sending off the most personal thoughts possible to his hard drive. I am a writer, but also the breadwinner in my family. I’m at the keyboard at 6 almost every morning, hoping to tap out one idea—just one—that will take us up the hill, to the mountain, to the top.25. According to the passage, the author’s life is indeed _________.A. hardB. easyC. poorD. wealthy26. By saying “Sure. How about an ’87 Lincoln”, the author means __________.A. he really wanted to buy that carB. he was showing off their fortuneC. he thought his wife would like itD. he was joking about their economic situation27. What was the result of the book the author mentioned in the third paragraph?A. He sold it door-to-door.B. It didn’t sell well at all.C. He made a lot of money from it.D. It was really a cushion for his family.28. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the author and his wife?A. He has a real gift for business.B. He isn’t serious enough about life.C. He is a hard-working writer.D. His wife is satisfied with their plain life.CScientists have invented a lotion（洗液）that gives laboratory mice a dark tan（被太阳晒成的棕褐色皮肤）in just three weeks. No, they aren’t planning to send the mice to the beach. But the research could be an important step in creating a lotion that helps humans avoid getting skin cancer.Everyone knows that people with pale skin — and especially redheads — are most likely to get sunburned. That’s because their skin isn’t good at producing melanin（黑素）, which protects skin cells by blocking the sun’s dangerous ultraviolet (UV) rays.Dr. David Fisher is an oncologist — a doctor who treats cancer. He was testing a lotion to see if it would cause mice to produce melanin in their skin, just like the sun does, without the danger of being exposed to the sun’s rays. The special ingredient(成分) in the lotion comes from a plant.“We had suspected that it would darken the skin (that’s why we tested it), but we didn’t know that it could turn the appearance of a very fair-skinned mouse so dark,” says Fisher.Someday researchers might be able to make a lotion that will turn human skin darker to protect it from dangerous UV rays. But that’s a long way off.“I have been tempted to try some of the lotion on my own skin,” explains Fisher. “However, there is not yet any study in human skin to test whether the treatment is safe.”“It’s fun to play out in the sunshine, but remember,” says Dr. Fisher,“the sun can be dangerous. It can injure our skin and cause bad effects that don’t happen until much later.”That’s why we must be careful about avoiding sun exposure—until scientists find just the right solution.29. Dr. David Fisher made the experiment in order to __________.A. give mice a dark skinB. send mice to the beachC. help people with skin cancerD. test if a lotion works30. Which of the following are most likely to get sunburned?A. People with dark and yellow skin.B. People with pale skin and redheads.B. People with dark and pale skin. D. People with dark skin and redheads.31. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to “__________”.A. melaninB. the sun’s raysC. the lotionD. a plant32. From the passage we know that ____________.A. the lotion Fisher invented now can help humans to avoid skin cancerB. the lotion that had invented had little effect on the mice’s skinC. researchers will make a lotion to protect human skin very soonD. people don’t find harms of sun exposure easily at the beginningDWhen Heather Ramirez of Auburn, California, went to the dentist recently with her husband Len, she wasn’t there to have her teeth cleaned. She and her husband are professional snake removers. They were there to catch and return to the wild a rattlesnake that had moved indoors.She describes her work as “protecting people from rattlesnakes—and protecting rattlesnakes from people”. In her part of the country, the northern Pacific rattlesnake often comes face-to-face with humans.“We find rattlesnakes everywhere,” says Ramirez. “In houses, in yards and woodpiles, under decks.”She says that the snakes aren’t invading human homes—it’s the other way around. “These animals were here first, and we humans came in and built houses. We are living in their territory.” Many people are frightened when they se e a rattler and call for help right away. When the Ramirez phone rings, the couple drops whatever they are doing and rushes to work, often leaving a meal half-eaten on the table. “Never pick up a rattlesnake,” says Ramirez. “I’ve been doing this job for 12 years, and I have never touched one with my hands. There’s no reason to take that risk.”Ramirez tells people to read all they can about snakes so they understand these amazing animals. For example, snakes actually help humans. Small mammals like rats, mice, and gophers carry fleas and ticks that spread serious illnesses like bubonic plague and Lyme disease to people. A snake might eat a dozen rodents a year, helping control the population and the spread of disease.Ramirez and her husband relocate more than a thousand snakes a year. “The longest was 5 feet 9 inches (1.8 meters), and I’m only five-foot-three, so that was amazing to see.” She enjoys every day working with snakes. “I just love my job!”33. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. To introduce us a snake-catching couple.B. To teach us how to catch snakes successfully.C. To describe a common rattlesnake in California.D. To prove snakes are useful animals to human beings.34. Which of the following can best describe the couple?A. Warm-hearted, strong-willed and confident.B. Skillful, job-loving and selfless.C. Cruel, dangerous and disgusting.D. Brave, energetic and determined.35. Which of the following is TRUE?A. The couple went to the dentist to see a doctor.B. Rattlesnakes are believed to attack people actively.C. Snakes are sometimes helpful to control the spread of disease.D. Protecting rattlesnakes from people is the couple’s main task.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分l0分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The villagers came up with the idea that they themselves could keep an eye on their n eighbors' possessions while they were away on holiday. Since t hen, and with the support of the government and police, more t han 50,000 “Neighborhood Watch” schemes have been set up all over the country.The object of each “Watch” group is to reduce the opportunities that criminals have in any particular street or area. Each villager who is a member of the scheme will call the police whenever th ey see something suspicious. It is the police who actually check out each report and look into what is happening. Villagers who are part of the “Watch” are not supposed to act as police or put themselves in danger.When a new “Neighborhood Watch” scheme is set up in an are a, one benefit is that most burglars dare not take a chance on b reaking into someone's house because they know that there is a high risk of being seen by neighbors keeping a lookout. Burgl ars also know that people are more likely to have fitted good locks to their doors and windows.Another benefit is that, since the “Neighborhood Watch” schem es came into existence, there is growing evidence of a new co mmunity spirit. It is bringing people together as never before, and encouraging people to care for each other. New friendships are being made, and contact is often established with old people l iving on their own, who are often the most frightened and the m ost at risk.语篇解读：这是一篇说明文，向读者介绍了一个叫做“Neighborhoo d Watch”的计划，并讲述了该计划的实施办法以及收到的效果。

Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks（群）so large that they darkened the sky for hours.It was calculated that when its population reach its highest point, there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons – a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant birds in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.Sadly, the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans’ need for wood, which scattered（驱散）the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons, but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden in September 1, 1914.【小题1】In the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons _______.A. were the biggest bird in the worldB. lived mainly in the south of AmericaC. did great harm to the natural environmentD. Were the largest population in the US 【小题2】The underlined word ―undoing‖ probably refers to the pigeons’ _______.A. escapeB. ruinC. liberationD. evolution【小题3】What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?A. To seek pleasure.B. To save other birds.C. To make money.D. To protect crops.【小题4】What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?A. It was ignored by the public.B. It was declared too late.C. It was unfair.D. It was strict.【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。

材料，回答问题。
（10分）材料一：海南岛地处热带季风气候，一年分为旱、雨两季。
专家研究认为，海南岛西部某些地方旱季比岛内其他地区更干旱，是那里形成热带稀树草原景观的关键因素。
材料二：海南岛旱季以偏东风为主。
材料三：海南岛西部一些地方沉积岩透水性强，地表水易于渗漏。
50.海南岛西部的惹到稀树草原景观反映了什么地域分异现象？说明判断理由。
（4分）51.海南岛西部“旱季更显干旱”的一个主要因素是降水量低。
从风向、地形角度分析降水量低的原因，并概括造成这里“旱季更显干旱”的其他因素及其作用。

因此，绿色长城沿线分布有荒漠。
33.防止过度的开垦与放牧；控制过快的人口增长。
（任答一点即可）34.原因：绿化带地处热带稀树草原气候区北缘，这里旱季干旱，土壤水分含量低，本地原有树种无法密集生长，且旱季落叶，起不到遏制荒漠化发展的作用。
特性：比本地原来树种更加耐旱，且旱季不落叶，以利密集种植，有效抵御风沙。
35.荒漠化问题是绿色长城沿线国家面对的共同问题，只有大家共同行动，才能有效遏制荒漠化的蔓延。

son Thomas was 10years old，and Jack，who was recovering from a heart operation，was 21years old．Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog，whom they had started to call Riley．When she arrived home from work，the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her．As soon as she opened the door，Riley dashed into the boys'room where Ann found Jack suffering from a heart

in a place with an air conditioner for another ten years．So my brother and I decided to leave the apartment to find someplace indoors．He suggested we could see a movie．It was a brilliant plan．Movie theaters were one of the few places you could sit all day and﹣most important ﹣sit in air conditioning．In those days，you could buy one ticket and sit through two movies．Then，the theater would show the same two movies again．If you wanted to，you could sit through them twice．Most people did not do that，but the manager at our theater．Mr．Bellow did not mind if you did．That particular day，my brother and I sat through both movies twice，trying to escape the heat．We bought three bags of popcorn and three sodas each．Then，we sat and watched The Music Man followed by The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance．We'd already seen the second movie once before．It had been at the theater since January，because Mr．Bellow loved anything with John Wayne in it．We left the theater around 8，just before the evening shows began．But we returned the next day and saw the same two movies again，twice more．And we did it the next day too．Finally，on the fourth day，the heat wave broke．Still，to this day I can sing half the songs in The Music Man and recite half of John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart's dialogue from The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance!Thosememories are some of the few I have of the heat wave of 1962．They're really memories of the screen，not memories of my life．46．In which year did the author first live in a place with an air conditioner？A.1952B.1962C.1972D.198247．What does the underlined word"It"in Paragraph

30years Mumbet served the Ashley family．One day，Ashley's wife tried to strike Mumbet's sister with a spade．Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead．Furious，she left the house and refused to come back．When the Ashleys tried to make her return，Mumbet consulted a lawyer，Theodore Sedgewick．With hishelp，Mumbet sued（起诉）for her freedom．While serving the Ashleys，Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution．If the constitution said that all people were free and equal，then she thought it should apply to her．Eventually，Mumbet won her freedom ﹣﹣﹣﹣the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution．Strangely enough，after the trial，the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee．She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick．Mumbet died in 1829，but her legacy lived on in her many descendants （后裔）．One of her great﹣grandchildren was W．E．B．Du Bois，one of the founder of the NAACP，and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights．Mumbet's tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried．It reads，in part："She was born a slave and remained a slave and

brush，and it lets you track your performance on your phone．The Kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week．It senses how it is moved and can send the information to an Android phone or iPhone via a Bluetooth wireless connection．The toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right （don't forget the insides of the teeth!）and make sure you're brushing long enough．"It's kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day﹣to﹣day basis，"says Thomas Serval，the French inventor．The toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone，so developers could，for instance，create a game controlled by your toothbrush．You could score points for beating monsters among your teeth．"We try to make it smart but also fun，"Several says．Serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father．He would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth．They said"yes，"but Serval would find their toothbrush heads dry．He decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed．The company says the Kolibree will go on sale this summer，for 99to199，developing on features．The U．S．is the first target market．Serval says that one day，it'll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with abrushing unit that also has a camera．The camera can even examine holes

in teethD．It will be able to check users'teeth．17．（8分）The kids in this village wear dirty，ragged clothes．They sleep beside cows and sheep in huts made of sticks and mud．They have no school．Yet they all can chant the English alphabet，and some can make words．The key to their success：20tablet computers（平板电脑）dropped off in their Ethiopian village in February by a U．S．group called One Laptop Per Child．The goal is to find out whether kids using today's new technology can teach themselves to read in places where no schools or teachers exist．The Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers analyzing the project data say they're already amazed．"What I think has already happened is that the kids have already learned more than they would have in one year of kindergarten，"said Matt Keller，who runs the Ethiopia program．The fastest learner﹣and the first to turn on one of the tablets﹣is 8﹣year﹣old Kelbesa Negusse．The device's camera was disabled to save memory，yet within weeks Kelbesa had figured out its workings and made the camera work．He called himself a lion，a marker of accomplishment in Ethiopia．With his tablet，Kelbasa rearranged the letters HSROE into one of the many English animal names he knows．Then he spelled words on his own．"Seven months ago he didn't know any English．That's unbelievable，"said Keller．The project aims to get kids to a stage called"deep reading，"where they can read to learn．It won't be in Amharic，Ethiopia's first language，but in English，which is widely seen as the ticket to higher paying jobs．62．How does the Ethiopia program benefit the kids in the village？A．It trains teachers for them．B．It contributes to their self﹣study．C．It helps raise their living standards．D．It provides funds for building schools．63．What can we infer from

in kindergartens．64．It amazed Keller that with the tablet Kelbesa could．A．learn English words quickly．B．draw pictures of animals．C．write letters to researchers．D．make phone calls to his friends．65．What is the aim of the project？A．To offer Ethiopians higher paying jobs．B．To make Amharic widely used in the world．C．To help Ethiopian kids read to learn in English．D．To assist Ethiopians in learning their first language．第三部分书面表达（共两节，满分45分）第一节：阅读表达（共1小题；每小题15分，满分15分）19．（15分）阅读下面的短文并用英语回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意问题后的字数要求）．[1]Nowadays the cost of a new car has fallen in real terms so that it is cheaper than ever to own one，and better road conditions have also attracted more drivers．The result is overcrowding on the road system，which is one of the problems the local governments are faced with．[2]When people travel to other towns，the problem might be relieved by getting them to park outside the town．Buses could be provided to take them into the centre．These Park and Ride projects are increasingly popular in the UK．At Southerton，for example，a council﹣funded project led to a 15% drop in city centretraffic over five months．[3]What the council found，though，was that the project proved somewhat unpopular with shop owners in the area outside the centre．Many of their shops relied on passing car drivers for some of their trade．As the number of people driving past dropped，so did their incomes．[4]Making car driving expensive is another way of．Road taxes tend to mean that people use their cars less．Fining drivers who are in areas where cars have been banned can also tend to encourage them to leave their cars behind．[5]However，one thing has to be got right for any solution to succeed．If we expect people to give up the habit of driving，we must give them an alternative they can rely on．Constant delays，unannounced changes to the timetable and sudden cancellations all discourage people from using public transport．People will only see it as a real choice if the buses and trains are on time．66．What causes overcrowding on the road system according to Paragraph 1？（no more than 12words）67．What should people do when traveling to other towns according to the Park and Ride projects？（no more than 10words）68．Why were some shop owners unhappy about the project？（no more than 10words）69．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4．（no more than 8words）70．Why are people unwilling to use

2014年高考英语山东卷-答案
2014年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（山东卷）英语答案解析第Ⅰ卷第一部分语言知识运用第一节单项选择1.【答案】D【解析】题干有…was more time-consuming than we____可知，横线中的动词expect 的动作应该在was 之前发生，故用过去完成时即“过去的过去”。
2.【答案】A【解析】前一句“我并非真正喜欢这个作者”；后一句“我必须承认他的书振奋人心”。
故选让步关系的从属连词although（尽管）3.【答案】A【解析】上句说“这个苹果排太甜了，你不认为如此吗？”注意下句横线后的提示：实际上，我认为正好。
故选对上句观点进行否定态度的回应语——not really。
B项“我也希望如此”C项“听起来很好”是对建议计划的肯定语。
D项“不足为奇”都不符合交流意向。
4.【答案】C【解析】It 做形式主语、宾语并代替句中的V-ing短语、to do 和从句。
此处it 代替that从句，做形式宾语。
5.【答案】B【解析】句意：一旦Larry更换工作，他们决定买一所新的房子。
Buy 应该发生在Made up their mind 之后，故用以过去为起点的将来时态—would+动词原形。
6.【答案】A【解析】句意：门上钉了一个便条，上面写着商店何时再开门的字样。
7.【答案】B【解析】横线后介词like缺宾语，表示物，选what。
Which必须是“在…范围中的一个”时可选。
A，D两项均为副词，不符要求。
8.【答案】D【解析】上句“Anne明天来吗？下句横线后的提示：如果她来的话，她会给我打电话的。
所以选D：我认为她不会来的。
A项：好吧，行，可以；B项：当然C项：对了。
都不符合句意。
9.【答案】C【解析】此处，company 与employ之间为主动关系，故排除AB两项，选C：to employ 做真正主语。
选D项employs 与it后的is产生两个谓语无连接词的杂糅结构。
10.【答案】B【解析】Whose表示…的；所以用“的”字带入法，句意通则选whose，不同换路子，即可解决。
