How I wished on Christmas Eve my grandest wish would be 32 and placed under the Christmas tree — a puppy. When we were done, our wish-lists were collected by our parents with the promise to be 33 to Santa's hard- working helpers. The next day, our parents sat us down in the living-room, with 34 expressions on their faces. As it 35 , they had seen our wishes, now wanting to talk to us about one wish 36 — the puppy. For a moment, I held my breath, but was 37 when they told us that they weren't against a puppy. What they 38 against was putting it under the Christmas tree. That was not a good idea. They 39 taught us that an animal was not a gift that belonged to the same 40 as our toys. Animals were creatures with 41 that we should decide to have one, and it would be a(n) 42 to our family. An animal 43 a lot of responsibilities. It wasn’t anything one bought out of a mood. An animal could not be exchanged or 44 when we didn't feel like it. An animal wasn’t a toy. An animal was a 45 family member that needed lots of love and attention. An animal was not a 46 , but a family decision. A serious decision. And a big decision. 47 , my parents share my love for animals, so the decision came reasonably 48 . After our grandparents had given their 49 up for taking care of the dog, while we were on future vacations, the answer was yes. Yes, we would get a puppy. The following days and weeks, there was only one 50 : our new family member! Yes, a family member, because animals have their rights. They are not simply food or gifts. We humans must attend, love and protect them. 31. A. left B. got C. set D. pulled 32. A. rejected B. declined C. challenged D. fulfilled 33. A. given away B. passed on C. taken on D. put up 34.

Alice, who grew up to be my mother, told me that after her mother’s death her family was too poor to even afford to give her a doll. In December 2012, I had a job at a local bank. One afternoon, we were decorating the tree in the bank lobby(大廳). One of my customers approached me with her beautiful handmade dolls. I decided to get one for my daughter, Katie, who was almost five years old. Then I had an idea. I asked my customer if she could make me a special doll for my mother—one with gray hair and spectacles(眼鏡): a grandmother doll. And she gladly agreed. A friend had told me that his dad who played Santa Claus would be willing to make a visit on Christmas morning to our home to deliver my Katie her presents, so I made some special arrangements. Christmas Day arrived and at the planned time; so did Santa Claus. Katie was surprised that Santa had come to see her at her own house. As Santa turned to leave, he looked once more into his bag and found one more gift. As he asked who Alice was, my mother, surprised at her name being called, indicated that she in fact was Alice. Santa handed her the gift, with a message card that read: For Alice: I was cleaning out my sleigh(雪橇) before my trip this year and came across this package that was supposed to be delivered on December 25,1953. The present inside has aged, but I felt that you might still wish to have it. Many apologies for the lateness of the gift. Love, Santa Claus My mother’s reaction was one of the most deeply emotional scenes I have ever seen. She couldn’t speak but only held the doll she had waited fifty-nine years to receive as tears of joy ran down her cheeks. That doll, given by “Santa”, made my mother the happiest “child” that Christmas. 51. The reason why the writer’s mother couldn’t have a doll when young was that __________. A. Santa Clause forgot to deliver the doll to her B. her daughter couldn’t make a doll by herself C. her parents left the doll in the Santa Clause’s sleigh D. her family was badly off when she was a child 52. It can be inferred from the passage that __________. A. the writer’s father played the Father Christmas B. the writer’s mother was already in her sixties when she received the doll C. the writer asked one of her friends to make the doll for her mother D. the Santa Clause was too careless to deliver the doll on time 53. When the writer’s mother received the doll that she had waited so long, she was __________. A. pleased and inspired B. puzzled and angry C. happy and excited D. curious and grateful 54. The best title for this passage could be __________. A. A Doll from Santa B. An unforgettable Christmas C. A considerate daughter D. A help from Santa Claus B If you need glasses to read this, you are among the majority of Chinese students. That’s because most students in China are short-sighted which means they can only see things close up and distant things will be blurry. Four-fifths of high school students wear glasses and now more and more children in primary school need glasses, too. This epidemic of poor eyesight has two very simple causes: too much time spent indoors studying and too little time spent outdoors playing. Reading and writing for hours and hours, sometimes in poorly lighted rooms, causes eyesight to weaken. But students have to do this because there is so much pressure on them to succeed in school. And because they spend so much time indoors at school and at home, they have less time to spend outdoors enjoying the sun. The sun, as a consequence, is important in developing good eyesight. Exposure to daylight releases a chemical in the eyes that prevents, or at least delays, short-sightedness. According to a study by Ian Morgan of Australian National University, Australian children and Chinese children have the same level of eyesight before they start school, but once they enter primary school, Chinese children only spend about an hour a day outside, while Australian children spend three to four hours each day in the sunshine. The result is that while about 40 percent of Chinese primary school students need glasses, only three percent of Australian children do. Wearing glasses may not seem like a big deal. For some, wearing glasses can even be an opportunity to make a fashion statement. But poor eyesight at a young age can have serious long term consequences. As you get older, your eyesight can worsen and lead to things like macular degeneration(黃斑變性), a condition of the eyes for which there is no cure and which can eventually lead to blindness. With all that in mind, don’t you think it’s time to give your eyes a break? Try spending a little less time inside and go for a walk in the park, instead. It’s the healthy thing to do and your eyes will thank you for it. 55. What does the underlined word “blurry” mean? A. unpopular. B. unpleasant. C. unclear. D. unconscious. 56. How should the students protect their eyesight according to the passage? A. They should study less and less. B. They should stay longer outdoors. C. They should wear sun-glasses. D. They should have a longer rest in bed. 57. It can be inferred from the passage that __________ is to blame for the poor eyesight of Chinese children. A. the ever-worsening bad weather B. the ever-increasing burden of study C. the ever-decreasing sunny days D. the ever-decreasing period of study time 58. What is the purpose of this article? A. To explain why Chinese students are poor-sighted. B. To admire Australian children’s good eyesight. C. To criticize the present education system. D. To call on people to protect Chinese children’s eyesight C Comfort is comforting, but it might narrow our experience at work — and beyond. In our modern world, discomfort is considered a terrible thing. If not terrible, at least a thing of the past. Dishwashers, washing machines, computers, remote controls—yes, they add convenience, but also a level of comfort our forefathers did not enjoy. As pain of any kind discourages happiness, we tend to reason, anything that compromises our ability to feel good must be bad. And that’s also particularly true for our careers. Success makes us feel great, not terrible. Such a view, however, is a matter of personal opinion. And it may blind us to hidden opportunities. Artists throughout history have tried to experience suffering, instinctively if not consciously, to produce works that explore the darker hidden sides of the human condition. This was done, in part, because pain is a reality of life for everybody in some form at some time. Pain is something everybody can relate to. And pain makes a person very present. For such artists, to relieve or to deny pain would be to block the creative thinking, which drives them to explore and express. In fact, Germans have a term for this melancholia, “Weltschmerz”, which means “suffering from the world.” Writers, from Lord Byron to Kurt Vonnegut, have used the term to describe the psychological pain encountered along life’s roller-coaster journey. It was not to be avoided; it was to be understood, investigated and employed. So I propose that discomfort is good for us. Or, put another way, it tells us that something needs to be addressed. It stretches us by forcing us to view our circumstances through a wholly different lens. Because we’re drawn to safety and security, we do our best to create pleasant comfort zones for ourselves and our loved ones through the cars we drive, the homes we live in, and the places we work. But by resisting discomfort, we deny ourselves an important opportunity: the chance to shake ourselves out of our predictable perspectives and allow ourselves to make knowledgeable observations we could not possibly have made before. Discomfort gives us fresh eyes. 59. Which of the following is NOT a reason why artists throughout history have been exploring sufferings? A. Pain is a mirror that can reflect the life of everybody. B. Pain is something that no one can escape from. C. Pain can help them to avoid the creative thinking. D. Pain can strengthen the feeling of existence of a person. 60. The term “Weltschmerz” couldn’t be used to describe something like __________. A. social inequality B. mass killings C. racial discrimination D. great achievements 61. The author believes that by challenging discomfort, one may _________. A. lose an important chance to make a big fortune B. feel upset and fail to think calmly C. judge and think about the world in a new particular way D. control the situation properly when things go unsteady 62. By writing this passage, the author tries to __________. A. criticize a world full of comfort B. explain why discomfort is good for us C. persuade people to lead a life full of discomfort D. blame those who enjoy an easy life D Thousands of taxi drivers in Shenyang, Liaoning province, reportedly blocked streets with their vehicles on Sunday in protest against unlicensed vehicles using taxi-hiring apps(打車軟件) and apps-based car rental companies providing passenger services, including high-end cars. Although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy by the government, their main complaint was the loss of business because of the rising number of Internet-based car services companies. On Wednesday, news reports came that Beijing transport authorities will take measures to stop the illegal “taxi business” of private cars through the newly rising Internet apps, following the footsteps of Shenyang and Nanjing. It is not yet clear how the Shenyang city government will handle the issue and whether it will declare the services offered by market leaders such as Didi Dache, a taxi-hiring app provider backed by Tencent Holdings, and Kuaidi Dache illegal. But Shanghai transport regulators have set a rule, by banning Didi Zhuanche, or car services offered by Didi Dache in December. Such regulations will cause a setback to the car-hiring companies and investors that are waiting to cash in on the potentially booming business. Just last month, Didi Dache got $700 million in funding from global investors, including Singapore state investment company Temasek Holdings, Russian investment company DST Global and Tencent. Besides, the market is uncertain that Kuaidi Dache is about to finalize its latest round of funding after getting $800 million from global investors. Regulatory uncertainties, however, could cast a shadow on the future of the Internet-based car-hiring services, which have become popular in most of China’s big cities. To be fair, these companies’ business model is anything but bad. For example, Didi Zhuanche works side by side with established car rental companies to provide high-end car service mainly for businesspeople through the Internet and mobile phone apps. Every link in this business model chain has legal companies and services. Hence, it is hard to define it as illegal and ban it. 63. Why did taxi drivers in Shenyang block the streets with their vehicles? A. Because they wanted the government to increase their driving allowances. B. Because they wanted to be educated how to use the taxi-hiring apps. C. Because they wanted to make their main complaints known to the government. D. Because they wanted to call on passengers not to hire the private cars. 64. The author’s attitude to banning internet car-hiring service is______. A. positive B. negative C. neutral D. unclear 65. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. The problem mentioned in the passage exists in all cities B. App-based car rental is helpful in some sense C. The government should regulate the app-based car rental market D. Didi Dache is a China-foreign joint company 66. From the passage we learn ___________. A. Shenyang banned apps-based car rental companies B. Shanghai is the second city banning Didi Zhuanche C. some international investment companies have faith in the future of apps-based car rental companies D. it is easy to describe the apps-based car rental companies illegal E It was the end of my junior year, the weekend before prom (畢業(yè)舞會). I was riding with some friends, and a bottle was passed around the car. Everyone was taking swigs(一大口). When the bottle got to me, I thought:“What should I do?”I took a swig. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I had to drive home later that night. I went back to my car, got in and drove off. At a stop sign I saw a policeman sitting in the parking lot across the street. His headlights were turned on, and I knew he was going to follow me. Then he flashed his lights at me. All I could think was: “Oh no, that swig!” I pulled over and waited for him to come to my door. It felt like forever. “Can I see your license and registration, please, Miss?” I gave them to him. He took them and went back to his car for a while. When he returned, he asked if I had been drinking. “No,” I said. He asked me to step out of my car. “Walk heel to toe down the white line, please.” I passed the test. Next he had me stand on my left foot, lift my right foot and hold it for 30 seconds. I’m not the most coordinated (動作協(xié)調(diào)的) person and I can’t even walk and chew gum at the same time, so, needless to say, I didn’t pass. Then he asked me to take a breathalyzer test. That was where I messed up. I told him I didn’t want to and didn’t understand why I had to. The officer asked me three more times, and I continued to refuse. He told me to turn around and place my hands behind my back. He arrested me right then and there. The policeman drove me to a police station 20 minutes from my home. He called my parents and told them where I was. I went to court two months after that, charged with refusing to obey an officer. I got a $700 (4,340 yuan) fine and 40 hours of community service. I’ll be on probation (緩刑) for a year, and I’ll have to take the driving test again. I lost my license for a whole year. This was a huge learning experience for me. It opened my eyes to how easy it is to make a stupid decision. I want everyone reading this to know that it’s not right to drink and drive. It definitely isn’t worth losing your license over. 67. From the first paragraph, we can conclude that the author __________. A. didn’t remember she had to drive home later when riding with her friends B. wished she had refused to drink that night C. felt just one mouthful would not affect her driving D. lost her driving license on the way 68. What did the policeman ask the author to do at the stop sign? a. Show her driving license. b. Walk in a straight line. c. Stand on her head. d. Stand on one foot for 30 seconds. e. Take her temperature. A. a, b, d B. a, c, d C. b, c, e D. b, d, e 69. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article? A. The author was in jail for 40 hours and had to do community service. B. The author thought her punishment shouldn’t be so serious. C. The author was really sorry that she had made a serious mistake. D. The author believed she would have avoided punishment if she had obeyed the policeman. 70. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To warn people against driving after drinking. B. To explain how policemen test drivers. C. To show that severe punishment works. D. To blame the author’s thoughtless friends. 第四部分：書面表達(dá)(共兩節(jié)，滿分50分) 第一節(jié)：完成句子（共10小題；每小題2分，滿分20分) 閱讀下列各小題，根據(jù)漢語提示，用句末括號內(nèi)的英語單詞完成句子，并將答案寫在答題卡上的相應(yīng)題號后。 例： was that the young player performed extremely well in the table tennis tournament.

Hard as I tried to 短文寫作 One possible version: As a proverb goes, “Preparedness ensures success and unpreparedness spells failure”. It can’t be denied that good preparation is one of the essentials of success. The first two years of my junior middle school life went so smoothly and I got so good grades in every exam that I took it for granted that I was sure to be admitted by a key high school. Thus，in my junior three, I began totally loosening myself up and no longer focused on study. It is no accident that my academic performance declined sharply. Not until the last month of my junior three did I realize it and concentrated on learning again. However, it was too late to make full preparation then— I failed in the senior high school entrance examination. From my experience, I see that at no time should we ignore the importance of making good preparation, and that success belongs to those who can suffer long years of patient toil and constant efforts. 完成句子【評分原則】 1、主要結(jié)構(gòu)正確、用給定的英語詞完整表達(dá)所給的漢語信息，給滿分； 2、未用給定詞不給分； 3、主要結(jié)構(gòu)不正確不給分； 4、主要結(jié)構(gòu)正確，信息完整，一個或一個以上拼寫錯誤扣0. 5分，不累加； 5、主要結(jié)構(gòu)正確，信息有遺漏扣0. 5分； 6、主要結(jié)構(gòu)正確，添加無關(guān)信息扣0. 5分; 7、其它可以接受的可能答案酌情給分。 幾點(diǎn)說明：1、考點(diǎn)是時態(tài)題，時態(tài)錯誤扣1分；考點(diǎn)不是時態(tài)題，時態(tài)錯誤只扣0.5分。 2、同類小錯誤扣分不累加；不同類的小錯誤累加，三個以上不得分。 3、大小寫錯誤不扣分。 短文寫作 短文寫作要求:夾敘夾議 觀點(diǎn)：As for “the way to success”, Abraham Lincoln once said, “Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe”. 文章結(jié)構(gòu)要求： 段落1：提出觀點(diǎn)，要有一個旗幟鮮明的漂亮的過渡句。（2---3句） 段落2：敘述一個結(jié)構(gòu)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)、主題鮮明的個人經(jīng)歷的故事（6---10句） 段落3：夯實(shí)觀點(diǎn)，要有一個漂亮的結(jié)論句，好有一個具有啟示指導(dǎo)意義的延伸句。（2---3句） 一、評分原則： 1. 本題總分為30分，按5個檔次給分。 2. 先根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容和語言初步確定其所屬的檔次，然后以該檔次的要求來衡量，確定或調(diào)整檔次，后給分。評分檔次的確定應(yīng)在內(nèi)容符合題目要求的前提下側(cè)重于語言的表達(dá) 3. 詞數(shù)少于120的，將分?jǐn)?shù)降低一個檔次。 4. 評分時主要關(guān)注：內(nèi)容切題，語言表達(dá)準(zhǔn)確、多樣、連貫、得體。 5. 拼寫與標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號，應(yīng)視其對交際的影響程度予以考慮，但英美拼寫及詞匯用法均可接受。 6. 書寫較差，以至于影響交際，將分?jǐn)?shù)降低一個檔次。 二、書面表達(dá)各檔次的劃分及給分范圍 第五檔（很好）：（25～30分） 要點(diǎn)完整，表達(dá)清楚，無重大語法錯誤 完全完成了試題規(guī)定的任務(wù)。 —所有內(nèi)容與提示吻合。 —應(yīng)用了較豐富的語法結(jié)構(gòu)和詞匯。 —語法結(jié)構(gòu)或詞匯運(yùn)用準(zhǔn)確，雖有個別錯誤，但不影響意義的表達(dá)，具備較強(qiáng)的語言運(yùn)用能力。 —恰當(dāng)?shù)厥褂昧苏Z句間的連接成分，全文結(jié)構(gòu)緊湊。 完全達(dá)到了預(yù)期的寫作目的。 第四檔（好）：（19～24分） 表達(dá)基本清楚，缺少個別要點(diǎn)，有些語法錯誤。 完成了試題規(guī)定的任務(wù)。 —主要內(nèi)容與提示吻合。 —應(yīng)用的語法結(jié)構(gòu)和詞匯能滿足任務(wù)的要求。 —語法結(jié)構(gòu)或詞匯方面應(yīng)用基本準(zhǔn)確，個別錯誤對意義的表達(dá)—影響。 --較恰當(dāng)?shù)厥褂昧苏Z句間的連接成分，全文結(jié)構(gòu)較緊湊。 達(dá)到了預(yù)期的寫作目的。 第三檔（適當(dāng)）：（13～18分）尚能表達(dá)，缺少多個要點(diǎn)，語法錯誤較多。 基本完成了試題規(guī)定的任務(wù)。 —主要內(nèi)容與提示比較吻合。 —應(yīng)用的語法結(jié)構(gòu)和詞匯能滿足任務(wù)的要求。 —有一些語法結(jié)構(gòu)和詞匯的錯誤，對意義的表達(dá)有較大影響。 —基本能使用語句間的連接成分，全文結(jié)構(gòu)比較松散。 整體而言，基本達(dá)到了預(yù)期的寫作目的。 第二檔（較差）：（7～12分）表達(dá)含糊不清，不能成篇。 未恰當(dāng)完成試題規(guī)定的任務(wù)。 —主要內(nèi)容與提示基本吻合。 —語法結(jié)構(gòu)單調(diào)，應(yīng)用詞匯有限。 —有較多語法結(jié)構(gòu)或詞匯方面的錯誤，影響了意義的表達(dá)。 —語句間的連接成分運(yùn)用不當(dāng)，缺少連貫性。 信息未能清楚地傳達(dá)給讀者。 第一檔(差)：（1～6分）動了筆，僅羅列了一些無關(guān)內(nèi)容，原因可能是未理解試題要求。 未能完成試題規(guī)定的任務(wù)。 —主要內(nèi)容與提示不太吻合 —語法結(jié)構(gòu)單一，應(yīng)用詞匯項(xiàng)十分有限。 —較多語法結(jié)構(gòu)或詞匯方面的嚴(yán)重錯誤，嚴(yán)重影響了意義的表達(dá)。 —缺乏語法之間的連接成分，內(nèi)容不連貫。 信息未能傳達(dá)給讀者。 0分 未能傳達(dá)給讀者任何信息，內(nèi)容太少，無法評判；寫的內(nèi)容均與所要求內(nèi)容無關(guān)或所寫內(nèi)容無法看清。 評卷定檔參考 檔位 評閱印象 感覺 第五檔 （25～30分） 漂漂亮亮 cool 爽 第四檔 （19～24分） 清清楚楚（2/3語言沒問題，有個別小問題） clear 順 第三檔 （13～18分） 馬馬虎虎（半對半錯，很糾結(jié)） coy 行 第二檔 （7～12分） 糊里糊涂（1/3有英文， 2/3 看不懂） cloudy 差 第一檔 （1～6分） 一塌糊涂（基本無英文或無法讀懂） chaotic 暈 0分 照抄試卷中閱讀理解等文段 counterfeit 吐 錄音原文 這是2015年湖北省八市高三年級三月調(diào)考英語科聽力部分。該部分分為第一、第二兩節(jié)。注意，回答聽力時，請先將答案標(biāo)在試卷上，聽力內(nèi)容結(jié)束前，你將有兩分鐘的時間將你的答案轉(zhuǎn)涂到客觀題的答題卡上?，F(xiàn)在是聽力試音時間，試音過程中如遇到播音效果不好，考生可舉手向監(jiān)考員反映以便采取相應(yīng)措施?，F(xiàn)在開始中文試音： ……（剪錄14年湖北高考英語中英文試音部分） 試音到此結(jié)束，聽力考試正式開始，請看聽力部分第一節(jié)：第一節(jié)，聽下面5段對話。每段對話后有一個小題，從題中所給的A、B、C三個選項(xiàng)中選出佳選項(xiàng)，并標(biāo)在試卷的相應(yīng)位置。聽完每段對話后，你都有10秒鐘的時間來回答有關(guān)小題和閱讀下一小題。每段對話僅讀一遍。 聽力原文 Text 1 M: My birthday is on the 18th in February.

Text 2 W: Hi, Lily. I got the last T-shirt in the sale. And some shorts to match. I bought this sweater too, but I’m not sure if you like it. M: It looks great. I’d keep it.

In fact, they’re playing the kind of music that I hate. W: Oh, I love this music. I’ll never get tired of listening to it. Anyway, you can talk to people. There are so many people here. M: That’s true, but I’ve never met anyone here who I’m really interested in talking to. W: Oh, I also forgot. I’ve just begun to learn rock climbing, and you are good at it. I need your advice.

M: Wow, I know him. He’s a friend of my cousin, and I met him once at my cousin’s home. He is an unusual artist. He doesn’t use many different colors. You see green in all his paintings but the color he likes most is orange. W: Who taught him to paint? M: His mum was his first teacher. She draws pictures for children’s books. Will’s grandfather is an artist too. He surely benefits from that much. W: Where does Will work? M: He’s got his own room at home to work in. He draws and paints people’s faces more than anything else. You can watch him paint a picture of his own face in an online video program. W: And did he sell his own paintings? M: Yes. He sold his first painting last winter but lots of people are buying them now. Next summer he’ll have a big exhibition in the USA. I think he’s going to be very famous. Text 10 I’ve just come back from a short course called Singing for Beginners at Brownstoke College. Lena Phipps runs these three-day courses for people with no previous experience of singing. Lena used to be an opera singer, but no longer appears on the stage. Nowadays she occasionally sings in jazz clubs, but spends most of her time teaching. She was excellent! There were only nine of us on the course I attended. Lena never takes more than ten students on a course. This means that everyone has lots of attention and plenty of opportunities to sing. We were very nervous at the beginning, but every class begins with some exercises to help students to relax. These are followed by warm-up exercises to improve the quality of the voice. During the three days, students learn around twenty songs in different styles, depending on the interest of the class members. There are classical and modern songs, including pop songs. By the last day, everyone was confident enough to perform their favorite song on their own! I would really recommend this course. Brownstoke College is an old building surrounded by a beautiful garden. The living place is very comfortable—the single and twin rooms are clean and warm. Courses begin on the last Tuesday of the month, so the next one begins on the 24th of September and continues until Thursday, the 26th of September. I would advise you to reserve a place early, because it’s certain to be very popular!

How I wished on Christmas Eve my grandest wish would be 32 and placed under the Christmas tree — a puppy. When we were done, our wish-lists were collected by our parents with the promise to be 33 to Santa's hard- working helpers. The next day, our parents sat us down in the living-room, with 34 expressions on their faces. As it 35 , they had seen our wishes, now wanting to talk to us about one wish 36 — the puppy. For a moment, I held my breath, but was 37 when they told us that they weren't against a puppy. What they 38 against was putting it under the Christmas tree. That was not a good idea. They 39 taught us that an animal was not a gift that belonged to the same 40 as our toys. Animals were creatures with 41 that we should decide to have one, and it would be a(n) 42 to our family. An animal 43 a lot of responsibilities. It wasn’t anything one bought out of a mood. An animal could not be exchanged or 44 when we didn't feel like it. An animal wasn’t a toy. An animal was a 45 family member that needed lots of love and attention. An animal was not a 46 , but a family decision. A serious decision. And a big decision. 47 , my parents share my love for animals, so the decision came reasonably 48 . After our grandparents had given their 49 up for taking care of the dog, while we were on future vacations, the answer was yes. Yes, we would get a puppy. The following days and weeks, there was only one 50 : our new family member! Yes, a family member, because animals have their rights. They are not simply food or gifts. We humans must attend, love and protect them. 31. A. left B. got C. set D. pulled 32. A. rejected B. declined C. challenged D. fulfilled 33. A. given away B. passed on C. taken on D. put up 34.

Alice, who grew up to be my mother, told me that after her mother’s death her family was too poor to even afford to give her a doll. In December 2012, I had a job at a local bank. One afternoon, we were decorating the tree in the bank lobby(大廳). One of my customers approached me with her beautiful handmade dolls. I decided to get one for my daughter, Katie, who was almost five years old. Then I had an idea. I asked my customer if she could make me a special doll for my mother—one with gray hair and spectacles(眼鏡): a grandmother doll. And she gladly agreed. A friend had told me that his dad who played Santa Claus would be willing to make a visit on Christmas morning to our home to deliver my Katie her presents, so I made some special arrangements. Christmas Day arrived and at the planned time; so did Santa Claus. Katie was surprised that Santa had come to see her at her own house. As Santa turned to leave, he looked once more into his bag and found one more gift. As he asked who Alice was, my mother, surprised at her name being called, indicated that she in fact was Alice. Santa handed her the gift, with a message card that read: For Alice: I was cleaning out my sleigh(雪橇) before my trip this year and came across this package that was supposed to be delivered on December 25,1953. The present inside has aged, but I felt that you might still wish to have it. Many apologies for the lateness of the gift. Love, Santa Claus My mother’s reaction was one of the most deeply emotional scenes I have ever seen. She couldn’t speak but only held the doll she had waited fifty-nine years to receive as tears of joy ran down her cheeks. That doll, given by “Santa”, made my mother the happiest “child” that Christmas. 51. The reason why the writer’s mother couldn’t have a doll when young was that __________. A. Santa Clause forgot to deliver the doll to her B. her daughter couldn’t make a doll by herself C. her parents left the doll in the Santa Clause’s sleigh D. her family was badly off when she was a child 52. It can be inferred from the passage that __________. A. the writer’s father played the Father Christmas B. the writer’s mother was already in her sixties when she received the doll C. the writer asked one of her friends to make the doll for her mother D. the Santa Clause was too careless to deliver the doll on time 53. When the writer’s mother received the doll that she had waited so long, she was __________. A. pleased and inspired B. puzzled and angry C. happy and excited D. curious and grateful 54. The best title for this passage could be __________. A. A Doll from Santa B. An unforgettable Christmas C. A considerate daughter D. A help from Santa Claus B If you need glasses to read this, you are among the majority of Chinese students. That’s because most students in China are short-sighted which means they can only see things close up and distant things will be blurry. Four-fifths of high school students wear glasses and now more and more children in primary school need glasses, too. This epidemic of poor eyesight has two very simple causes: too much time spent indoors studying and too little time spent outdoors playing. Reading and writing for hours and hours, sometimes in poorly lighted rooms, causes eyesight to weaken. But students have to do this because there is so much pressure on them to succeed in school. And because they spend so much time indoors at school and at home, they have less time to spend outdoors enjoying the sun. The sun, as a consequence, is important in developing good eyesight. Exposure to daylight releases a chemical in the eyes that prevents, or at least delays, short-sightedness. According to a study by Ian Morgan of Australian National University, Australian children and Chinese children have the same level of eyesight before they start school, but once they enter primary school, Chinese children only spend about an hour a day outside, while Australian children spend three to four hours each day in the sunshine. The result is that while about 40 percent of Chinese primary school students need glasses, only three percent of Australian children do. Wearing glasses may not seem like a big deal. For some, wearing glasses can even be an opportunity to make a fashion statement. But poor eyesight at a young age can have serious long term consequences. As you get older, your eyesight can worsen and lead to things like macular degeneration(黃斑變性), a condition of the eyes for which there is no cure and which can eventually lead to blindness. With all that in mind, don’t you think it’s time to give your eyes a break? Try spending a little less time inside and go for a walk in the park, instead. It’s the healthy thing to do and your eyes will thank you for it. 55. What does the underlined word “blurry” mean? A. unpopular. B. unpleasant. C. unclear. D. unconscious. 56. How should the students protect their eyesight according to the passage? A. They should study less and less. B. They should stay longer outdoors. C. They should wear sun-glasses. D. They should have a longer rest in bed. 57. It can be inferred from the passage that __________ is to blame for the poor eyesight of Chinese children. A. the ever-worsening bad weather B. the ever-increasing burden of study C. the ever-decreasing sunny days D. the ever-decreasing period of study time 58. What is the purpose of this article? A. To explain why Chinese students are poor-sighted. B. To admire Australian children’s good eyesight. C. To criticize the present education system. D. To call on people to protect Chinese children’s eyesight C Comfort is comforting, but it might narrow our experience at work — and beyond. In our modern world, discomfort is considered a terrible thing. If not terrible, at least a thing of the past. Dishwashers, washing machines, computers, remote controls—yes, they add convenience, but also a level of comfort our forefathers did not enjoy. As pain of any kind discourages happiness, we tend to reason, anything that compromises our ability to feel good must be bad. And that’s also particularly true for our careers. Success makes us feel great, not terrible. Such a view, however, is a matter of personal opinion. And it may blind us to hidden opportunities. Artists throughout history have tried to experience suffering, instinctively if not consciously, to produce works that explore the darker hidden sides of the human condition. This was done, in part, because pain is a reality of life for everybody in some form at some time. Pain is something everybody can relate to. And pain makes a person very present. For such artists, to relieve or to deny pain would be to block the creative thinking, which drives them to explore and express. In fact, Germans have a term for this melancholia, “Weltschmerz”, which means “suffering from the world.” Writers, from Lord Byron to Kurt Vonnegut, have used the term to describe the psychological pain encountered along life’s roller-coaster journey. It was not to be avoided; it was to be understood, investigated and employed. So I propose that discomfort is good for us. Or, put another way, it tells us that something needs to be addressed. It stretches us by forcing us to view our circumstances through a wholly different lens. Because we’re drawn to safety and security, we do our best to create pleasant comfort zones for ourselves and our loved ones through the cars we drive, the homes we live in, and the places we work. But by resisting discomfort, we deny ourselves an important opportunity: the chance to shake ourselves out of our predictable perspectives and allow ourselves to make knowledgeable observations we could not possibly have made before. Discomfort gives us fresh eyes. 59. Which of the following is NOT a reason why artists throughout history have been exploring sufferings? A. Pain is a mirror that can reflect the life of everybody. B. Pain is something that no one can escape from. C. Pain can help them to avoid the creative thinking. D. Pain can strengthen the feeling of existence of a person. 60. The term “Weltschmerz” couldn’t be used to describe something like __________. A. social inequality B. mass killings C. racial discrimination D. great achievements 61. The author believes that by challenging discomfort, one may _________. A. lose an important chance to make a big fortune B. feel upset and fail to think calmly C. judge and think about the world in a new particular way D. control the situation properly when things go unsteady 62. By writing this passage, the author tries to __________. A. criticize a world full of comfort B. explain why discomfort is good for us C. persuade people to lead a life full of discomfort D. blame those who enjoy an easy life D Thousands of taxi drivers in Shenyang, Liaoning province, reportedly blocked streets with their vehicles on Sunday in protest against unlicensed vehicles using taxi-hiring apps(打車軟件) and apps-based car rental companies providing passenger services, including high-end cars. Although the drivers also complained about the withdrawal of the fuel subsidy by the government, their main complaint was the loss of business because of the rising number of Internet-based car services companies. On Wednesday, news reports came that Beijing transport authorities will take measures to stop the illegal “taxi business” of private cars through the newly rising Internet apps, following the footsteps of Shenyang and Nanjing. It is not yet clear how the Shenyang city government will handle the issue and whether it will declare the services offered by market leaders such as Didi Dache, a taxi-hiring app provider backed by Tencent Holdings, and Kuaidi Dache illegal. But Shanghai transport regulators have set a rule, by banning Didi Zhuanche, or car services offered by Didi Dache in December. Such regulations will cause a setback to the car-hiring companies and investors that are waiting to cash in on the potentially booming business. Just last month, Didi Dache got $700 million in funding from global investors, including Singapore state investment company Temasek Holdings, Russian investment company DST Global and Tencent. Besides, the market is uncertain that Kuaidi Dache is about to finalize its latest round of funding after getting $800 million from global investors. Regulatory uncertainties, however, could cast a shadow on the future of the Internet-based car-hiring services, which have become popular in most of China’s big cities. To be fair, these companies’ business model is anything but bad. For example, Didi Zhuanche works side by side with established car rental companies to provide high-end car service mainly for businesspeople through the Internet and mobile phone apps. Every link in this business model chain has legal companies and services. Hence, it is hard to define it as illegal and ban it. 63. Why did taxi drivers in Shenyang block the streets with their vehicles? A. Because they wanted the government to increase their driving allowances. B. Because they wanted to be educated how to use the taxi-hiring apps. C. Because they wanted to make their main complaints known to the government. D. Because they wanted to call on passengers not to hire the private cars. 64. The author’s attitude to banning internet car-hiring service is______. A. positive B. negative C. neutral D. unclear 65. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. The problem mentioned in the passage exists in all cities B. App-based car rental is helpful in some sense C. The government should regulate the app-based car rental market D. Didi Dache is a China-foreign joint company 66. From the passage we learn ___________. A. Shenyang banned apps-based car rental companies B. Shanghai is the second city banning Didi Zhuanche C. some international investment companies have faith in the future of apps-based car rental companies D. it is easy to describe the apps-based car rental companies illegal E It was the end of my junior year, the weekend before prom (畢業(yè)舞會). I was riding with some friends, and a bottle was passed around the car. Everyone was taking swigs(一大口). When the bottle got to me, I thought:“What should I do?”I took a swig. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I had to drive home later that night. I went back to my car, got in and drove off. At a stop sign I saw a policeman sitting in the parking lot across the street. His headlights were turned on, and I knew he was going to follow me. Then he flashed his lights at me. All I could think was: “Oh no, that swig!” I pulled over and waited for him to come to my door. It felt like forever. “Can I see your license and registration, please, Miss?” I gave them to him. He took them and went back to his car for a while. When he returned, he asked if I had been drinking. “No,” I said. He asked me to step out of my car. “Walk heel to toe down the white line, please.” I passed the test. Next he had me stand on my left foot, lift my right foot and hold it for 30 seconds. I’m not the most coordinated (動作協(xié)調(diào)的) person and I can’t even walk and chew gum at the same time, so, needless to say, I didn’t pass. Then he asked me to take a breathalyzer test. That was where I messed up. I told him I didn’t want to and didn’t understand why I had to. The officer asked me three more times, and I continued to refuse. He told me to turn around and place my hands behind my back. He arrested me right then and there. The policeman drove me to a police station 20 minutes from my home. He called my parents and told them where I was. I went to court two months after that, charged with refusing to obey an officer. I got a $700 (4,340 yuan) fine and 40 hours of community service. I’ll be on probation (緩刑) for a year, and I’ll have to take the driving test again. I lost my license for a whole year. This was a huge learning experience for me. It opened my eyes to how easy it is to make a stupid decision. I want everyone reading this to know that it’s not right to drink and drive. It definitely isn’t worth losing your license over. 67. From the first paragraph, we can conclude that the author __________. A. didn’t remember she had to drive home later when riding with her friends B. wished she had refused to drink that night C. felt just one mouthful would not affect her driving D. lost her driving license on the way 68. What did the policeman ask the author to do at the stop sign? a. Show her driving license. b. Walk in a straight line. c. Stand on her head. d. Stand on one foot for 30 seconds. e. Take her temperature. A. a, b, d B. a, c, d C. b, c, e D. b, d, e 69. Which of the following is TRUE according to the article? A. The author was in jail for 40 hours and had to do community service. B. The author thought her punishment shouldn’t be so serious. C. The author was really sorry that she had made a serious mistake. D. The author believed she would have avoided punishment if she had obeyed the policeman. 70. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To warn people against driving after drinking. B. To explain how policemen test drivers. C. To show that severe punishment works. D. To blame the author’s thoughtless friends. 第四部分：書面表達(dá)(共兩節(jié)，滿分50分) 第一節(jié)：完成句子（共10小題；每小題2分，滿分20分) 閱讀下列各小題，根據(jù)漢語提示，用句末括號內(nèi)的英語單詞完成句子，并將答案寫在答題卡上的相應(yīng)題號后。 例： was that the young player performed extremely well in the table tennis tournament.

Hard as I tried to 短文寫作 One possible version: As a proverb goes, “Preparedness ensures success and unpreparedness spells failure”. It can’t be denied that good preparation is one of the essentials of success. The first two years of my junior middle school life went so smoothly and I got so good grades in every exam that I took it for granted that I was sure to be admitted by a key high school. Thus，in my junior three, I began totally loosening myself up and no longer focused on study. It is no accident that my academic performance declined sharply. Not until the last month of my junior three did I realize it and concentrated on learning again. However, it was too late to make full preparation then— I failed in the senior high school entrance examination. From my experience, I see that at no time should we ignore the importance of making good preparation, and that success belongs to those who can suffer long years of patient toil and constant efforts. 完成句子【評分原則】 1、主要結(jié)構(gòu)正確、用給定的英語詞完整表達(dá)所給的漢語信息，給滿分； 2、未用給定詞不給分； 3、主要結(jié)構(gòu)不正確不給分； 4、主要結(jié)構(gòu)正確，信息完整，一個或一個以上拼寫錯誤扣0. 5分，不累加； 5、主要結(jié)構(gòu)正確，信息有遺漏扣0. 5分； 6、主要結(jié)構(gòu)正確，添加無關(guān)信息扣0. 5分; 7、其它可以接受的可能答案酌情給分。 幾點(diǎn)說明：1、考點(diǎn)是時態(tài)題，時態(tài)錯誤扣1分；考點(diǎn)不是時態(tài)題，時態(tài)錯誤只扣0.5分。 2、同類小錯誤扣分不累加；不同類的小錯誤累加，三個以上不得分。 3、大小寫錯誤不扣分。 短文寫作 短文寫作要求:夾敘夾議 觀點(diǎn)：As for “the way to success”, Abraham Lincoln once said, “Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe”. 文章結(jié)構(gòu)要求： 段落1：提出觀點(diǎn)，要有一個旗幟鮮明的漂亮的過渡句。（2---3句） 段落2：敘述一個結(jié)構(gòu)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)、主題鮮明的個人經(jīng)歷的故事（6---10句） 段落3：夯實(shí)觀點(diǎn)，要有一個漂亮的結(jié)論句，好有一個具有啟示指導(dǎo)意義的延伸句。（2---3句） 一、評分原則： 1. 本題總分為30分，按5個檔次給分。 2. 先根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容和語言初步確定其所屬的檔次，然后以該檔次的要求來衡量，確定或調(diào)整檔次，后給分。評分檔次的確定應(yīng)在內(nèi)容符合題目要求的前提下側(cè)重于語言的表達(dá) 3. 詞數(shù)少于120的，將分?jǐn)?shù)降低一個檔次。 4. 評分時主要關(guān)注：內(nèi)容切題，語言表達(dá)準(zhǔn)確、多樣、連貫、得體。 5. 拼寫與標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號，應(yīng)視其對交際的影響程度予以考慮，但英美拼寫及詞匯用法均可接受。 6. 書寫較差，以至于影響交際，將分?jǐn)?shù)降低一個檔次。 二、書面表達(dá)各檔次的劃分及給分范圍 第五檔（很好）：（25～30分） 要點(diǎn)完整，表達(dá)清楚，無重大語法錯誤 完全完成了試題規(guī)定的任務(wù)。 —所有內(nèi)容與提示吻合。 —應(yīng)用了較豐富的語法結(jié)構(gòu)和詞匯。 —語法結(jié)構(gòu)或詞匯運(yùn)用準(zhǔn)確，雖有個別錯誤，但不影響意義的表達(dá)，具備較強(qiáng)的語言運(yùn)用能力。 —恰當(dāng)?shù)厥褂昧苏Z句間的連接成分，全文結(jié)構(gòu)緊湊。 完全達(dá)到了預(yù)期的寫作目的。 第四檔（好）：（19～24分） 表達(dá)基本清楚，缺少個別要點(diǎn)，有些語法錯誤。 完成了試題規(guī)定的任務(wù)。 —主要內(nèi)容與提示吻合。 —應(yīng)用的語法結(jié)構(gòu)和詞匯能滿足任務(wù)的要求。 —語法結(jié)構(gòu)或詞匯方面應(yīng)用基本準(zhǔn)確，個別錯誤對意義的表達(dá)—影響。 --較恰當(dāng)?shù)厥褂昧苏Z句間的連接成分，全文結(jié)構(gòu)較緊湊。 達(dá)到了預(yù)期的寫作目的。 第三檔（適當(dāng)）：（13～18分）尚能表達(dá)，缺少多個要點(diǎn)，語法錯誤較多。 基本完成了試題規(guī)定的任務(wù)。 —主要內(nèi)容與提示比較吻合。 —應(yīng)用的語法結(jié)構(gòu)和詞匯能滿足任務(wù)的要求。 —有一些語法結(jié)構(gòu)和詞匯的錯誤，對意義的表達(dá)有較大影響。 —基本能使用語句間的連接成分，全文結(jié)構(gòu)比較松散。 整體而言，基本達(dá)到了預(yù)期的寫作目的。 第二檔（較差）：（7～12分）表達(dá)含糊不清，不能成篇。 未恰當(dāng)完成試題規(guī)定的任務(wù)。 —主要內(nèi)容與提示基本吻合。 —語法結(jié)構(gòu)單調(diào)，應(yīng)用詞匯有限。 —有較多語法結(jié)構(gòu)或詞匯方面的錯誤，影響了意義的表達(dá)。 —語句間的連接成分運(yùn)用不當(dāng)，缺少連貫性。 信息未能清楚地傳達(dá)給讀者。 第一檔(差)：（1～6分）動了筆，僅羅列了一些無關(guān)內(nèi)容，原因可能是未理解試題要求。 未能完成試題規(guī)定的任務(wù)。 —主要內(nèi)容與提示不太吻合 —語法結(jié)構(gòu)單一，應(yīng)用詞匯項(xiàng)十分有限。 —較多語法結(jié)構(gòu)或詞匯方面的嚴(yán)重錯誤，嚴(yán)重影響了意義的表達(dá)。 —缺乏語法之間的連接成分，內(nèi)容不連貫。 信息未能傳達(dá)給讀者。 0分 未能傳達(dá)給讀者任何信息，內(nèi)容太少，無法評判；寫的內(nèi)容均與所要求內(nèi)容無關(guān)或所寫內(nèi)容無法看清。 評卷定檔參考 檔位 評閱印象 感覺 第五檔 （25～30分） 漂漂亮亮 cool 爽 第四檔 （19～24分） 清清楚楚（2/3語言沒問題，有個別小問題） clear 順 第三檔 （13～18分） 馬馬虎虎（半對半錯，很糾結(jié)） coy 行 第二檔 （7～12分） 糊里糊涂（1/3有英文， 2/3 看不懂） cloudy 差 第一檔 （1～6分） 一塌糊涂（基本無英文或無法讀懂） chaotic 暈 0分 照抄試卷中閱讀理解等文段 counterfeit 吐 錄音原文 這是2015年湖北省八市高三年級三月調(diào)考英語科聽力部分。該部分分為第一、第二兩節(jié)。注意，回答聽力時，請先將答案標(biāo)在試卷上，聽力內(nèi)容結(jié)束前，你將有兩分鐘的時間將你的答案轉(zhuǎn)涂到客觀題的答題卡上?，F(xiàn)在是聽力試音時間，試音過程中如遇到播音效果不好，考生可舉手向監(jiān)考員反映以便采取相應(yīng)措施?，F(xiàn)在開始中文試音： ……（剪錄14年湖北高考英語中英文試音部分） 試音到此結(jié)束，聽力考試正式開始，請看聽力部分第一節(jié)：第一節(jié)，聽下面5段對話。每段對話后有一個小題，從題中所給的A、B、C三個選項(xiàng)中選出佳選項(xiàng)，并標(biāo)在試卷的相應(yīng)位置。聽完每段對話后，你都有10秒鐘的時間來回答有關(guān)小題和閱讀下一小題。每段對話僅讀一遍。 聽力原文 Text 1 M: My birthday is on the 18th in February.

M: Mmm, what were they like? W: Eh, they were, you know, kind of cute. M: Have you ever met any stars that were difficult customers? W: Yeah, I’ve had some difficult people. M: Can you tell us who? W: Oh, no, I’ll lose my job. But not many. Most of them are quiet, you know, they just want to eat their dinner in peace. M: Thank you, Michelle. Text 9 M: Hi, Sara, where are you going? W: To the library. The professor asked us to do an art project about a young artist called Will Scorsby on the Internet today. So I want to get some information from the computer in the library. M: Wow, I know him. He’s a friend of my cousin, and I met him once at my cousin’s home. He is an unusual artist. He doesn’t use many different colors. You see green in all his paintings but the color he likes most is orange. W: Who taught him to paint? M: His mum was his first teacher. She draws pictures for children’s books. Will’s grandfather is an artist too. He surely benefits from that much. W: Where does Will work? M: He’s got his own room at home to work in. He draws and paints people’s faces more than anything else. You can watch him paint a picture of his own face in an online video program. W: And did he sell his own paintings? M: Yes. He sold his first painting last winter but lots of people are buying them now. Next summer he’ll have a big exhibition in the USA. I think he’s going to be very famous. Text 10 I’ve just come back from a short course called Singing for Beginners at Brownstoke College. Lena Phipps runs these three-day courses for people with no previous experience of singing. Lena used to be an opera singer, but no longer appears on the stage. Nowadays she occasionally sings in jazz clubs, but spends most of her time teaching. She was excellent! There were only nine of us on the course I attended. Lena never takes more than ten students on a course. This means that everyone has lots of attention and plenty of opportunities to sing. We were very nervous at the beginning, but every class begins with some exercises to help students to relax. These are followed by warm-up exercises to improve the quality of the voice. During the three days, students learn around twenty songs in different styles, depending on the interest of the class members. There are classical and modern songs, including pop songs. By the last day, everyone was confident enough to perform their favorite song on their own! I would really recommend this course. Brownstoke College is an old building surrounded by a beautiful garden. The living place is very comfortable—the single and twin rooms are clean and warm. Courses begin on the last Tuesday of the month, so the next one begins on the 24th of September and continues until Thursday, the 26th of September. I would advise you to reserve a place early, because it’s certain to be very popular!
