2008年英语paper

全国卷I 2008年高考英语听力录音原文Text 1M: I think it’s going to rain.W: I guess so. The sky is dark and cloudy.Text 2M: Lucy is going back to China next month, Alice.W: Oh, really.M: And she will not take Rachel this time.Text 3W: I hate to say it, but Jackie isn’t doing well in the film.M: Well, I only think he is playing a different type of role, but my sister thinks he is still the best.Text 4M: Professor Miners, could I talk to you about my paper?W: Sure, come to my office between two to three. It’s Room 340.Text 5W: OK, time to go home.M: I can’t, because I haven’t finished the report about the newly opened restaurant.W: Well, if you carry on working like that, you’ll make yourself ill.Text 6M: I haven’t seen you for a long time. Where have you been?W: I went to New York to visit my sister and stayed there for two months. Actually, I really went to meet my new nephew.M: That’s great! How old is he?W: Well, he was five months old when I got there and he could possibly be the most beautiful baby I’ve ever seen. M: What do you do when you’re in your sister’s home?W: I helped the baby and played with him a lot which was nice, but what I enjoyed most was beating him.Text 7M: Air pollution is so bad in this city. I think the government should stop people from driving cars on certain days.W: You have a point. Air pollution is a problem, but not letting people drive on certain days is a bad idea. People have to go to work by car.M: I’m afraid I don’t agree with you there. Reducing air pollution is really important. People are so used to driving that they don’t think about ways to do things. If we stop them from driving on certain days, maybe they could think of new ways to get around.W: I see your point, but I still think it wouldn’t be possible to stop people from driving.Text 8M: Let’s go and have lunch together.W: OK.M: By the way, I’m thinking of going to New Zealand around Christmas for three weeks. It’s such a beautiful country. I’ve never been there before.W: Have you booked the flight?M: Not yet. I’m planning to book my flight in two weeks’ time.W: Book your flight right now.M: Why?W: Because the longer you leave it, the more expensive it’ll will be. As a matter of fact, the New Zealanders usually go home for Christmas.M: Then, I’m going to book my flight tomorrow morning.Text 9M: Hello.W: Hello, Mike. This is Jane.M: Oh, hello, Jane.W: Listen, Mike, I’ve got a really problem.M: What is it?W: The car is broken down.M: Oh, now again.W: Yeah, I checked the oil, and I checked almost everything. It’s just not starting at all.M: You have to get ready of it, you know.W: I know, I know. But, look, the thing is I’ve got to pick Tom up at the airport, Can I …..M: Use my car? Yes, of course.W: That’ll be great; it’s very kind of you.M: Come on when you like, I don’t need it until tonight.W: OK. I’ll be around in about an hour.Text 10OK, when we met last week, we talked about different kinds of short stories and some well-known short story writers. I remembered that many of you said you liked the American writer Ernest Hemingway, right? I hope you all followed my advice and finished reading his story “A Day’s Wait”, because as I said we’re going to study it together in today’s lesson. Now, since you’re supposed to have read the story, let’s have some discussion. Please look at the four questions on the blackboard. First, when and where does the story take place? Second, what does the boy wait for in the story? And what kind of person does he show himself to be? Third, what kind of person is the boy’s father? Fourth, what is the writer’s main purpose of writing this story? I’d like you to work in groups of four or five and present your answers in ten minutes. Is everything clear?

When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share. 说到朋友，我渴望那些能分享我快乐，拥有翅膀可以伴我一起飞翔的人。我寻找的朋友，品质要能启发我，让我懂得爱。因为这些人，我要珍藏我的美好岁月，与他们一起分享。 When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say: “Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped. 我八年级时，有一个朋友。当学习可接受的社交行为成为同学们的时尚时，我们对自己的学习有些害羞，“过于严肃”。我们在学校很少说话，但她会来我家，我们会拿着铅笔和纸坐下来，我们中的一个人会写道：“让我们从今天的火车汽笛开始吧。”我们会静静地坐在一起，写下各自的诗或故事，这些诗或故事都源于火车的汽笛声。然后我们大声朗读。在那学年结束时，我们也变成了社交动物，故事和诗歌停止了。 When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other. 我在伦敦住的一段时间里，我有了一个朋友。他处于失望中，我也同样如此，但我们的友谊是基于我们彼此的想法，如果因为我们当时感觉糟糕而没有探索这座伟大的城市，那么我们以后将会感到遗憾。五个星期以来，我们每个星期天都碰面，发现了许多优秀的东西。我们彼此同行，直到失望消失，然后我们分开。我们把伦敦留给了彼此。 For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell….” We have never met. 近四年来，我有一位了不起的朋友，她的想象力启发了我。我们经常在写长信时发现自己最奇怪的一面。我们有时会以一种有趣的方式，彼此出现在对方的梦中。我们都同意，在某些时候，我们似乎思想相同。在我最有趣的时刻，我经常想：“是的，我必须告诉你……”。我们从未见过面。 It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist, who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend. 这是我希望保持的，令人愉悦的伙伴。对我来说，和他们在一起的一小时比一个心理学家一生的服务更有价值，心理学家只会填补愈合的沉默，对于那些最黑暗的时刻我宁愿和自己最好的朋友一起。

I believed I could __36__ tough subjects and really learn something. 36 A. take B. discuss C. cover D. get 此题考察上课讲过一百多遍的连续动作。后面一个动作是learn，学到东西之前得干什么？当然是上课了……于是B、D两个选项讨论和获得直接浮云。也许有人会在C选项上流连忘返，但是咱上课强调过二选一的时候挑最熟悉的吧。take和cover哪个熟？一目了然。 I was extremely interested in the ideas he __37__ in class. 37 A. sought B. presented C. exchanged D. obtained 看见A选项我那叫一个激动啊……2006年全国I卷第一句话第十个单词就是sought，当时特别强调了是seek的过去式或过去分词，还记得不？C选项是咱们在2005年北京卷讲“我们互相接吻”那句话的时候提到的，提醒大家注意英语写作用物体作主语，还记得不？此题考查成分相关，老师怎么着想法？当然是提出了，B选项在讲2001年全国卷的prehistoric的时候曾经当作记忆pre-前缀的例子特别提过，名词礼物动词提出，还记得不？ When I took the first exam, I was __38__ to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper, __39__ English was my best subject. 38 A. shocked B. worried C. scared D. anxious 39 A. but B. so C. for D. or 另外一个强调了一百多遍的感情色彩终于出现啦。由C+的成绩判断作者这里一定是负态度，而四个选项全是负态度……于是成分相关，我看到成绩不好的时候的心理感受是什么？A选项在2005年北京卷和2004年全国II卷中全部出现过且课上全部讲过，甚至在2000年全国卷最后父亲脸色的变化那道题中讲pale为什么不对的时候也讲过，再不认识说不过去啦！B选项和D选项提过的次数更多，多到我自己都嫌烦，一个体现身份差异一个与wait相关，这里哪个都没有，直接废掉。至于C选项惊恐万状，一笑了之。注意，咱们强调过无数次的考点paper又出现了，今次是试卷的意思…… 39题是文章中唯一一道连词题，而这几个连词也太没技术含量了吧……根据上下文逻辑B和D选项直接排除。A选项也许会糊弄一拨学生，但是只要把“虽然……但是……”都加上，一目了然。but后面是重要信息讲听力的时候强调了n遍，这句话作者是想强调我英语学的好么？当然不是，作者想强调的是自己看到答案的心理落差。至于逗号加for表“因为”替换because的写作手法和“因为、所以”两个连词在选项中一起出现时要注意等玩意儿咱们课上提过多少次，我自己都懒的想了，自己回忆一下吧，1998年全国卷37题。 I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained __40__. 40 A. unchanged B. unpleasant C. unfriendly D. unmoved remain这个动词在讲1996年全国卷第31题时特别强调过，果然考了……至于这几个选项，咱们来分析一下吧：B和C两个选项一个不愉快一个不友好，是不是一回事应不应该同义必同错你们自己说。剩下A和D两个选项，高亮老师和陶大白老师强调过一万回“change是不能选的”，你们只要听了，答案D选项“不为所动”就出来了。也许有人会问，下面不是有change的明确提示吗？好，老师保持不改变，但问题是老师本来就不会变。那是什么不改变？当然是成绩，所以应该是my score remained unchanged。 I decided to try harder, although I didn't know what that __41__ because school had always been easy for me. 41 A. reflected B. meant C. improved D. affected 凭良心说话，这道题算是难题，meant这个词虽然曾经在讲1999年全国卷35题时提过，但是没有特别强调其“意味着”的用法，因为……太基本了。其实继续把握不熟悉的不选这一原则把A和D选项排除，剩下B和C两个选项应该不难选出正确答案。不过错就错了，反正我们又不追求全对…… Again, I __42__ with Professor Jayne. 42 A. quarreled B. reasoned C. bargained D. chatted C和D是完全不靠谱选项，看了就应该排除。这次我又没考好，我可能去和老师讨价还价或闲聊么？A选项非常具有迷惑性，出题者居心险恶，但是陶大白老师在课上特别讲过argue、quarrel、fight、struggle和conflict的区别。看没看见40题前面的arguments？记不记得我在讲2006年全国I卷第一段倒数第二个单词quarrelsome时说过quarrel是负态度？学生能对老师做不好的事么？答案B选项通过排除法选出。 Again, he listened patiently but wouldn't change his __43__. 43 A. attitude B. mind C. plan D. view 这选项中的词除了mind以外还真没怎么讲过，可是这都是赤裸裸的初中词汇吧……也许有人选A选项，但是“避免受到中文思维的影响”这句话陶大白老师在五一冲刺班上说过四遍。“老师不改变他的态度”听起来挺舒服。但是联想一下后面我终于得了好成绩，照这么说老师的态度变好了，难道老师原来的态度是坏的么？发现中英文思维的差异了没？改变的是想法mind，而不是态度，老师对我严格要求的态度是自始至终没变的。此外，mind这个词我们在讲1998年全国卷第27题时曾经特别作为扩展知识提到过。最后，attitude和view这俩词能不能算作同义必同错，陶大白老师还在琢磨。 One more test before the final exam. One more __44__ to improve my grade. 44 A. choice B. step C. chance D. measure A、C、D三个选项在讲1996年全国卷的时候全部分析过，这96年完形果然是神一般的存在啊，不枉陶大白老师一篇文章讲仨小时。只要是机会chance或opportunity必然和某个动作有直接关系，这话还记得不？measure是衡量测量计算的意思，96年完形第二个单词，还记得不？而根据两句话的句式结构，我们要选择一个能和test对应的词，名词找重复还记得不？于是排除A和B选项。高亮老师曾经指出，选择choose和choice永远不对，这话陶大白老师没敢和你们说，看来还是高亮老师最高。一起喊：高亮老师万岁！ So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time, __45__ the meaning of the word "thorough". 45 A. memorized B. considered C. accepted D. learned 用成分相关来解决，非常简单的一道题。作者是真的记住了thorough这个词的含义么？作者是在仔细考虑这个词的含义么？作者是接受了这个词的含义么？答案当然是D选项，一个在完形填空里见过百八十回的词。 But my __46__ did no good and everything __47__ as before. 46 A. ambition B. confidence C. effort D. method 47 A. stayed B. went C. worked D. changed 46题C选项effort前一句话里面刚刚出现过，原词重复啥都别说了……A选项和D选项分别在2006年北京卷的42题和53题中讲过，至于B选项，2005年北京卷40题confident和sure同义必同错时讲的，自己回忆一下。 47题……也算个难题吧。D选项请喊一声新东方万岁，即可排除，changed和unchanged到此为止全军覆没，命题组的人也不知道在想些什么。至于A、B、C三个选项，按照陶大白老师的选择最熟悉的选项的方法，胡蒙乱猜也该选B选项，直接命中。另外请回顾2002年全国卷的这句话：“When anything went wrong with my car...” No matter what __48__ I got, it wouldn't cancel three C-pluses. 48 A. grade B. answer C. lesson D. comment 这题看的我快笑出声来了……^O^首先是A、B、C三个选项都是96年完形曾经精讲过的：A选项与mark同义都表示成绩，B选项讲question、problem、difficulty和trouble的时候提过有问才有答，C选项教训或课程则从来就没怎么对过，都没忘吧……至于D选项，还记不记得讲2005年北京卷时分辨过以下这堆玩意儿：comment、commend、command、content、consent和common？ I might as well kiss the __49__ goodbye. 49 A. scholarship B. course C.degree D. subject A选项原词重复在开头和结尾各一次，不枉陶大白老师在讲解高三上学期西城区期末考试那个过圣诞节、德国口音的老太太带着她孙子的文章时曾经特别嘱咐“即使最后很长一段没有空也不要轻易放过”。B选项和D选项同义必同错，C选项则和文章的时间概念不相符。第一年怎么会出现学位问题呢？而且学位没有了能kiss goodbye么？记叙文六要素中“时间”排在第一个，你们看的时候想了没有？ The night before the final, I even __50__ myself to a movie. 50 A. helped B.favored C. treated D. relaxed 是不是想到了讲1997年全国卷的时候咱们提到的“help oneself to sth”？光看搭配不想意思就贸然选择，一定会错。陶大白老师又没说过help永远对……那是自助的意思，看电影能和吃自助餐一样么？B选项在1997年第40题里讲过，D选项则是在2006年北京卷的51题中提过。至于C选项，请客的意思听力课上就搞定了。 The next day I decided for once I'd have __51__ with a test. 51 A. fun B. luck C. problems D. tricks 根据我们反复强调过的作者写作态度的判断，C和D两个选项可以排除，因为前面的movie是正态度。至于B选项，还记不记得陶大白老师说过“高考不是考运气考人品的”？而且在1998年全国卷第44题和2004年全国II卷第46题中，lucky和luck全都是错的啊…… I hurried into Professor Jayne's office. He __52__ to be expecting me. 52 A. happened B. proved C. pretended D. seemed A和B两个选项分别在1997年全国卷41题和2002年全国卷53题中排除过。判断连续动作，我赶紧去找老师，老师碰巧正在等我，这是人话吗？老师证明正在等我，这是人话吗？C选项老师假装在等我，这是老师该干的事吗？答案D选项，要靠胡蒙乱猜找最熟悉的词的方法，一样搞定。 "If I gave you the As you __53__, you wouldn't continue to work as hard." 53 A. valued B. imagined C. expected D. welcomed D选项没讲过，太弱。A选项给大家区分过value、valuable和valueless还记得不？至于B和C两个选项，imagine后面要加虚假内容，作者想要的A的成绩是不是虚假的？expect这个词咱们见得可不少了，随便举几个：2000年“I put my head in, expecting the worst...”、2006年全国I卷37题、2005年北京卷49题…… I stared at him __54__ that his analysis and strategy were correct. 54 A. remembering B. guessing C. supposing D. realizing 还是96年完形，让陶大白老师说什么好呢……咱们区分过know、know of、recognize、remember、realize、notice和understand，这里直接出现了俩。guess永远不对，高亮老师真伟大。至于suppose，2002年全国卷“suppose my auto repairman”和2005年北京卷52题都讲过，特别是2005年北京卷第52题，和这道题有三个选项是一模一样的，连答案都同样是realize，命题组脑子又进水了…… I had worked my head __55__, as I had never done before. 55 A. out B. over C. on D. off 唯一的一道介词题，也是唯一的一道真正的难题。对于off的把握不强就一定会错。可是错就错了呗，前面的题把握好一样是高分。而且特别强调过的2006年全国I卷41题那个最难的介词，也是off……
