2015上海高三一模英语写作解析各区点评(二)
2015上海高三一模英语写作解析——有多少爱还在重来？（2）马不停蹄的时间走到了2015年，高三的童鞋们，今年的一模考你们准备好了么？（怎么又是这句话？！上次讲过啦！）上一期我们研究了2015年高三一模宝山区的英语写作题，总结为——利弊分析型~重点就是需要明确观点并且有侧重地对比双方观点~这一期，让我们看看现在的英语考试还在延续重复着哪些老套路！2015 年普陀区一模假设你班班长打算在寒假组织一次班级活动，有三种方案：一、慈善义卖帮助家庭有困难的同学；二、聘请英语专家介绍有效地学习方法；三、组织一次班级新年派对。
作为班级的一员，请你根据你的实际情况，在三项方案中选择其一，提出对该项活动的建议并谈谈理由。
你的写作中必须包括：在三项方案中选择其一；对该方案提出建议；谈谈你提出建议的理由。
今天我们拿这道一模题目开刀了~如果按照分类的话，这类文章叫做——选择理由型~这可以说是在高考里最最最最最常考的类型了（给再多【最】都不为过）。
不信我们就来看看吧：爱共线是由民间发起的爱心公益组织，主要致力于贫困地区儿童相关的援助项目。
2005年到2014年十年高考类似题型考了6词，2014年一模考17套试卷考了7次（其中还包含了加入图片类文章的考查形式）~如果愿意深究的话那么这些数据几乎不会有什么太大波动的。
那就是说，近几年选择理由型的文章成了主流考察形式。
由此推测的话2015年上海一模的其他卷子有相当一部分也可能是这种题型。
但是如果没感觉的话我们就来看接下来的一个表格：那么回归到上一期的最后重点——对于句数以及行文段落的控制和作用明确。
如果是选择类的文章，那么结构应该大致如下：段1 ——引出话题并且做出选择（1~2句）段2 ——分不同角度进行展开（5~7句，可再分段）段3 ——总结呼应（1~2句）不知道这样的结构小伙伴能不能看出不同的地方。
如果不是很清楚那就来大致扫一遍结构吧：段1：句1：Recently, what has become a heated topic is that …（题干翻译）【和上一期的一样，第一句的目的很简单，引出主题词。

A ★When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Co sta Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the pl ace Costa Rica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish.Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important produc t in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and West Germany. Banan as are the country’s second most important export.Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and th eir houses are painted in bright colors.Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children betw een seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to se parate (单独的) schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. T he other three months of the year are harvest time and the chi ldren have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.21. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?A. How Columbus found Costa Rica.B. How Costa Rica got its name.C. What the Costa Ricans wore.D. What language the Costa Ricans spoke.22. The Costa Ricans may NOT paint their houses ______.A. pink and redB. grey and blackC. blue and greenD. yellow and orange23. In Costa Rica, boys and girls between seven and fourteen ______.A. must go to schoolB. study in the same schoolC. do not have to go to school at allD. can choose to stop sch ooling at any time24. From December to February, school children in Costa Rica ______.A. have lessons every dayB. have their examinationsC. help their parents pick coffee beansD. help their parents de corate their houses25. This passage is mainly about ______.A. Christopher ColumbusB. Costa RicaC. some products from Costa RicaD. the education of C osta RicaB ★Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease calle d beri-beri. He was going there to try and find a cure.At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beri-beri. He raised some chickens. He didn’t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised a t that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate — refined white ri ce (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as bro wn rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made a n important discovery — that some things in food could preve nt disease. These things were named vitamins (维生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Lat er, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person’s food.Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don’t, they can also take vitamin pills.26. The underlined word “cure” in Paragragh 1 probably mean s ______.A. a medical treatmentB. a kind of vitaminC. a kind of germD. a kind of rice27. Christian Eijkman went to the island of Java to ______.A. spend his holidayB. find ways to grow better cropsC. do some research about the islandD. help the Javanese wi th their illness28. If a person doesn’t get enough vitamins in his diet, he’d be tter ______.A. eat more riceB. eat more meatC. eat some chickenD. eat vitamin pillsC★★There are animals that can sniff prey (猎物) when they are miles away. They can even smell danger ar ound and run to safety. Let's have a look at some of the anim als with the best olfactory (嗅觉的) ability.SharksAfter bears，one animal，or rather fish that can smell well is，the frightening shark. Sharks can find prey from a mile away. I t has been found that about 2/3 of a shark's brain is dedicated to the olfactory bulb region. Thus，any injured marine animal or even a human is not safe from a shark's sense of smell.Police dogsDogs，as we all know，have a sense of smell that is 100 times better than us. But，the police dogs have a sense of smell that is better than an av erage dog. Studies have shown that a police dog's nose hasabout 230 million olfactory cells. This means that they are abo ut 40 times of the smell receptors (感受器) present in a human nose. The olfactory bulb in the brain of a police dog is larger than in most dogs and definitely bigger t han in humans. The police dog can identify a particular smell f rom over 130 miles away.SnakesThe snake will smell prey with its tongue. Snakes use their to ngues to collect particles (颗粒) in the air. This helps them to smell and taste altogether. T his gives them an outline about the surrounding using their ta ste and smell. Snakes are constantly using their tongues. It h elps them take samples from the air，soil，water and analyze the various chemicals. These chemicals ar e analyzed and help them get an idea whether there is prey in their surroundings.RatsYou must have seen hundreds of cartoons where rats could s mell a piece of cheese from far，far away. It's not just cheese，but they can also smell change in emotions as well as the atm osphere！Rats allow air to pass through their nose into their smell receptors. There are about 500 to 1，000 genes that code for 500 to 1，000 different olfactory receptors in a rat. This means，1% of the rat's DNA is dedicated to smell!As humans，we have our ability to think quickly and get out of a tricky situa tion. Animals too have super abilities far beyond our reach.【解题导语】让我们来看看那些值得我们尊重的动物的敏锐嗅觉。

In 1977, Irene Pepperberg of Harvard University began studying what was on anothercreature's mindby talking to it． Her first experiments began with Alex． Alex was a one﹣year﹣oldAfrican grey parrot andIrene taught him to make the sounds of the English language． "I thoughtif he learned to communicate, Icould ask him questions about how he sees the world．"At the time, most scientists didn't believe animals had any thoughts． They thought animalswere more like robots but didn't have the ability to think or feel． Of course, if you own a pet, youprobably disagree． But it is the job of a scientist to prove this and these days more scientists acceptthat animals can think for themselves．"That's why I started my studies with Alex, " Irene said, "Some people, in fact, called mecrazy for trying this．"These days, we have more and more proofs that animals have all kinds of mental abilities． Sheep cantell faces from each other． Chimpanzees（黑猩猩）use different kinds of tools and even use weapons tohunt． And Alex, the parrot became a very good talker．Thirty years after the Alex studies began, Irene was still giving him English lessons until hisrecentdeath． For example, if Alex was hungry, he could say "want grape"． Alex could count to sixand waslearning the sounds for seven and eight． "He has to hear the words over and over before he can correctlysay them．"Irene said, after pronouncing "seven" for Alex a few times in a row． Alexcould also tell the difference between colors, shapes, sizes, and materials （e．g． wood and metal）． Before he finally died, Alex managed to say "seven"．Another famous pet that proved some animals have greater mental skills was a dog calledRico． He appeared on a German TV game show in 2011． Rico knew the names of 200 different toysand easily learned the names of new ones． When Rico became famous, many other dog ownerswanted to show how clever their pets were． Another dog called Betsy could understand 300 words．One theory for dogs' ability to learn a language is that they have been close companions tohumansfor many centuries and so their ability to understand us is constantly evolving （进化）． While animalscan't do what humans do yet, some scientists believe that examples like Alex andRico prove thatevolution develops intelectual ability, as well as physical appearance．（1）Irene wanted to find out________．A what a parrot thinks．B why a parrot can speak．C how parrots make sounds．D if parrots speak English．（2）Alex learned new words by________．A singing them．B reading them．C writing them．D rehearing them．（3）The two dogs mentioned in the article could________．A understand some words．B recognize strange voices．C copy human movements．D tell different colors．（4）The article concludes that________．A our pets understand what we say．B dogs may speak to humans oneday． C humans are related to chimpanzees． D mental ability can evolve in animals．18. Sports are the base of my life, next to my mother who raised me when my dad left us．I have been into sports since I was six years old．I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play．When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski．I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before．I showed up to the tryouts （选拔赛） and put out about 90% effort since I thought I'd make it with no problem．That was a big mistake．Brian Pawloski is the hardest﹣working coach I have ever met．He didn't expect 100% effort, he expected 200% effort．One example: he once made us do 40suicide drills for the 401ay﹣ups （投篮） we missed in a game．Some think this is crazy, but it isn't．After this conditioning practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, "Coach that was the best practice I ever had．"I was completely sincere．This man was and is the personwho influenced me most at my high school．He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom．If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life's challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters．In the first two years I ________, not putting forth my full potential．Now, unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how he did off the court．He always made sure Ikept up with my studies and was able to be trusted．I can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life．My school is lucky to have such a great person to teach, coach and influence their students．I will always remember my high﹣school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual．（1）．Different from other coaches，Coach Brian________．A trained the team to the edge of deathB expected the team to do well in theirstudies C asked the team to do more reading than training D concentrated on skill training．（2）．The underlined phrase"slacked off"in the last paragraph probably means________．A made less effortB paid no attentionC showed no interestD had less passion．（3）．In the author's eye，Coach Brian is________．A professional and seriousB skilled and cruelC hardworking andhonest D strict and helpful．19. As we grow old, we realize that we have so little time to read and there are so many great books that we've yet to get around to． Yet re﹣readers are everywhere around us． For certain fans, re﹣reading The Lord of the Rings is a conventional practice annually． One friend told me that Jane Austen's Emma can still surprise him, despite his having read it over 50 times．New sudden clear understandings can be gained from the process of re﹣reading． Journalist Rebecca Mead, a long﹣time Englishwoman in New York, first came across George Eliot's Middlemarch at 17． Since then, she has read it again every five years． With each re﹣reading, it has opened up further; in each chapter of her life, it has resonated （引起共鸣） differently． Mead evidenced the large number of ways in which really good books not only stand the test of repeat reads, but also offer fresh gifts each time we ________． These kinds of books grow with us．Scientists have also recognized the mental health benefits of re﹣reading． Research conducted with readers in the US found that on our first reading, we are concerned with the "what" and the "why"． Second time round, we're able to better appreciate the emotions that the plot continues to express． As researcher Cristel Russell of the American University explained, returning to a book "brings new or renewed appreciation of both the great book and its readers．"It's true that we often find former selves on the pages of old books （if we're fond of making notes on the pages）． These texts can carry us back to a time and place, and remind us of the kind of person that we were then． We're changed not only by lived experience but also by read experience﹣ by the books that we've discovered since last reading the one in our hand．More so than the movie director or the musician, the writer calls upon our imaginations, using words to lead us to picture this declaration of love or that unfaithfulness in life． A book is a joint project between writers and readers, and we must pour so much of ourselves into reading that our own life story can become connected with the story in the book．Perhaps what's really strange is that we don't re﹣read more often． After all, we watch our favourite films again and we wouldn't think of listening to an album only once． We treasure messy old paintings as objects, yet of all art forms, literature alone is a largely one ﹣time delight． A book, of course, takes up more time, but as Mead confirms, the rewards make it adequately worthwhile．（1）The two books are mentioned in Paragraph 1 mainly to________．A introduce the topic of the passageB attract the attention of readersC provide some background informationD show the similarity between re﹣readers．（2）The underlined expression "crack their spines" in Paragraph 2 refers to________．A recite themB retell themC recall themD re﹣read them．（3）It can be learned from the passage that________．A we know ourselves better through re﹣reading experienceB readers mainly focus on feelings on their first readingC reading benefits people both mentally andphysically D writers inspire the same imaginations as film directors do．（4）The purpose of the passage is to________．A call on different understandings of old booksB bring awareness to the significance of re﹣readingC focus on the mental health benefits of readingD introduce the effective ways of re﹣reading old books．20. Every day we are exposed to images, videos, music and news． In this age of visual and aural hyper﹣stimulation （视听刺激）, the medium of radio is making a great comeback．"We're at the beginning of a golden age of audio, " said US﹣based podcaster Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald． In the last month alone, 15 percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast （播客）． These statistics, released by Edison Research, show the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the present day's digital podcast format （格式）． The term "podcast" was invented in 2004, but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years． With the sharp increase in consumer demand for smartphones and tablets, podcast sales have jumped．The appeal of the podcast partly lies in its multiplatform delivery and on﹣demand capabilities （功能）． You can listen during those extra minutes of the day when you're walking to the shops, waiting in a queue or riding the subway． Similar to television shows, podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content every week． Donna Jackson, 22, Sydney University media graduate, listens to podcasts two or three times a week, via iTunes． "I listen while I'm wandering around the house doing something else．It makes completing a boring task much more enjoyable…And it's an easy way of keeping in touch with what's going on in the rest of the world, " she said, "I mainly listen to BBC podcasts, but recently I've also been listening to This American Life and Serial． They have a special skill to really draw you in．"Unlike television and music, the audio format has the potential to create a deep impression on readers． Blumberg says this owes to the podcast's ability "to create close relationship and emotional connection．" Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust, majoring in social work and arts, agrees． "When you're listening, it feels as if the voice of the podcast's storyteller is talking directly to you． It's comforting, " said Proust． It seems the age﹣old tradition of verbal storytelling is very much alive and well．（1）The writer mentions Donna Jackson mainly to________．A tell how young people relax themselvesB explain why young people likepodcasts C introduce what programs podcasts are presenting D show how popular podcasts are presenting．（2）Paragraph 5 is mainly about________．A the influence of radiosB the advantage of podcastsC readers' impression on radiosD people's reaction to the medium．（3）What is probably the best title of the passage？________A Return of RadioB Opinions of PodcastC Features of RadioD Technology of Podcast．（4）The passage is developed by________．A exampleB spaceC timeD comparison．四、七选五21.House SittingIn many countries of the world people do what is called

完型填空
1. The most important lesson I learned in high school had nothing to do with maths or American history. It came at graduation, several minutes before I left Miramonte High School.
I was rather shy back then, content to 1 around with my few friends and to concentrate on my 2 . I was doing so well that by the end of senior year I had perfect scores and enough 3 to go to college.
But my good record soon became a 4 to my well-being. In early June of senior year, the headmaster called me into his office. He asked me to give a leave-taking speech at graduation. I looked at him, my heart 5 fast. This was the 6 for my hard work? I said something, but not very clearly, and hurried away from the office.
I was 7 about the decision, finally agreeing to compromise. I wasn't the only speaker—I would 8 the honor with five other students. Still, it was doubtful whether the task was 9 me. How in the world would I give a speech to hundreds of people?
Graduation day soon arrived and, as 10 , I was nervous. I'd been practicing my speech for days, and I had it 11 . But I had never been so 12 in my life. The first half hour of the ceremony passed, and then my 13 came. My name was announced. I managed to reach the platform without falling down. But within minutes. I was 14 , heading back to my seat.
Now I still have the 15 of that speech. My voice trembled a little, but 16 it was clear and strong. I'm proud of that tape. I achieved something I'd never 17 —I spoke in front of hundreds of people. 18 I didn't realize it at the time, the successful completion of that speech gave me the 19 to participate in class at college, to give oral reports, and to eventually break free of my 20
I never would have chosen to give a speech at graduation. But I'm glad I did. I know it may well turn out to be one of my shining moments.
