2014年高考英语重庆卷-答案

2014年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(重庆卷) 英语答案解析 一、单项填空 1.【答案】C 【解析】本题的是代词辨析。anything任何事情;something某些事情,重要人物;nothing什么也没有,没有事情;everything所有的事情。句意:微笑不要我们花任何东西,但是却会给我们很多。本题中的关键词是but说明上下文之间是转折关系,所选之词要和后面的much表示相反的意思。故C正确。 【考点】代词辨析。 2.【答案】B 【解析】本题的是交际用语。A没关系(用来回答对方的道歉);B我很高兴要做某事…(后面常常和but 连用,表示委婉地拒绝);C遇见你很高兴;D我找不到任何理由。句意:—为什么不在这里多待一会?—我想多待一会,可是我真的必须得走了。本句的关键词是but,说明本句表示的是委婉地拒绝对方。同时在to 后面省略了stay here a little longer。故B正确。 【考点】交际用语。 3.【答案】C 【解析】本题的是情态动词意义辨析。Can’t不可能;做不到;dare not不敢;needn’t 不必;may not也许不;句意:我已经点了一些披萨,所以当我们很累地到家的使用,不必担心做饭的问题。Need既可以作为情态动词,也可以作为行为动词。当它作为情态动词的使用常常用于疑问句和否定句中,表示“不必”。根据句意说明C正确。 【考点】情态动词。 4.【答案】A 【解析】本题的是时态题中的一个常考的用法。在时间状语从句和条件状语从句中,常常使用一般现在时代替将来时。本句中的连词before引导的就是一个时间状语从句,所以使用一般现在时代替将来时。句意:在你忘记之前最好把他的电话号码写下来。故A正确。 【考点】时态。 5.【答案】B 【解析】本题的是非谓语动词中分词做定语的用法。本句中的动词return与前面的名词cameras构成逻辑上的被动关系,所以使用过去分词短语在句中做定语来修饰cameras,从语法作用上来说相当于一个定语从句which are returned…。D项中使用的是不定式的被动形式,表示的将来要发生的事情。句意:这位生产商经

最新2014年高考英语重庆卷阅读理解E篇原文

2014年高考英语重庆卷阅读理解E篇原文 1 2 E It's generally believed that people act the way they do because 3 of their personalities and attitudes. They recycle their garbage because 4 they care about the environment. They pay $5 for a caramel brulée latte 5 because they like expensive coffee drinks. 6 It's undeniable that behavior comes from our inner dispositions 7 (性情), but in many instances we also draw inferences about who we are, 8 as suggested by the social psychologist Daryl Bem, by observing our own 9 behavior. We can be strangers to ourselves. If we knew our own minds, why 10 would we need to guess what our preferences are from our behavior? If our 11 minds were an open book, we would know exactly how much we care about the 12 environment or like lattes. Actually, we often need to look to our behavior 13 to figure out who we are. 14 Moreover, we don't just use our behavior to learn about our 15 particular types of character—we infer characters that weren't there 16 before. Our behavior is often shaped by little pressures around us, which 17 we fail to recognize. Maybe we recycle because our wives and neighbors 18 would disapprove if we didn't. Maybe we buy lattes in order to impress 19 the people around us. We should not mistakenly believe that we always 20 behave as a result of some inner disposition. 21 Whatever pressures there can be or inferences one can make, people 22 become what they do, though it may not be in compliance (符合) with their 23 true desires. Therefore, we should all bear in mind Kurt Vonnegut's advice: 24 "We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend 25 to be." 26 52. According to the passage, personalities and attitudes are 27 commonly believed to . 28 A. determine one's behavior 29

2018年重庆市高考英语试卷

2018年重庆市高考英语试卷 第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共4小题;每小题6分,满分30分)阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。 1. Summer Activities Students should read the list with their parents/carers, and select two activities they would like to do. Forms will be available in school and online for them to indicate their choices and return to school. Before choices are finalised, parents/carers will be asked to sign to confirm their child's choices. (1)Which activity will you choose if you want to go camping?________ A.WBP. B.OUT. C. F.POT.. D.CR (2)What will the students do on Tuesday with Mrs. Wilson?________ A.See a parade and fireworks. B.Travel to London. C.Visit the WWI battlefields.. D.Tour Central Paris.(3)How long does Potty about Potter last?________ A.Four days. B.Two days. C.One week. D.Five days. 2. Many of us love July because it's the month when nature's berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia's fields are little power houses of nutritional protection. Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein(蛋白质), iron and zinc(not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants(抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries(樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C. When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat "ice cream". For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer. If you have a juicer you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a "soft-serve" creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children's party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below. (1)What does the author seem to like about cherries? A.They are high in vitamin A. B.They contain protein. C.They are rich in antioxidants. D.They have a pleasant taste. (2)Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas? A.To keep their colour. B.To make them smell better. C.To improve their nutrition. D.To speed up their ripening. (3)What is "a juicer" in the last paragraph? A.A drink. B.A dessert. C.A machine. D.A container. (4)From which is the text probably taken? A.A health magazine. B.A biology textbook.

重庆市2017高考英语 阅读理解选编12

重庆市2017高考英语阅读理解选编(12) 阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。 (2013·苏锡常镇四市二调,C) Global Positioning Systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. These satellitebased systems provide turnbyturn directions to help people get to where they want to go. But they can also cause a lot of problems, sending you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost. Many times, the driver is to blame. Sometimes a GPS error is responsible. Most often, says Barry Brown, it is a combination of the two. Barry Brown is with the Mobile Life Centre in Stockholm, Sweden. The center studies humancomputer interaction, or HCI, especially communications involving wireless devices. We spoke to Mr Brown by Skype. He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States. There he borrowed a GPSequipped car to use during his stay. Barry Brown:“And they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination.” And, then it wasn't until they w ere driving for thirty minutes that they realized they had put in a destination back on the West Coast where they lived. They actually put their home address in. So again, the_GPS_is_kind_of_“garbage_in_garbage_out”. Mr Brown says this is a common human error. But, he says, what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of GPS equipment. Barry Brown:“One problem with many GPS units is they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. Because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that it's going to the wrong place.” Barry Brown formerly served as a professor with the University of California, San Diego. While there, he worked on a project with Eric Laurier from the University of Edinburgh. The two men studied the effects of GPS devices on driving by placing cameras in people's cars. They wrote a paper based on their research. It is called “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS.” Barry Brown: “One of the things that struck us, perhaps the most important thing was that you have to know what you're doing when you use a GPS. There are these new skills that people have developed. There are these new competencies that you need to have to be able to use a GPS because they sometimes go wrong.” Barry Brown says this goes against a common belief that GPS systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational (导航) skills. “The Normal, Natural Troubles of Driving with GPS” lists several areas where GPS systems can cause confusion for drivers. These include maps that are outdated, incorrect or difficult to understand. They also include timing issues related to when GPS commands are given. Barry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers, passengers and GPS systems work together. 文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。GPS全球定位系统可以帮助人们找到想去的地方,但GPS也会
