(全国卷)2017年高考英语信息归集与命题预测

2017年高考英语全国卷信息归集与高考命题预测

一、信息归集

1．命题要求变化

尽管2017年考纲说明变化细微，但2017年英语科高考命题将体现我国高考“一体四层

四翼”的高考评价原则。基于高考真题研究和评价并综合我处和其他高考研究专家对2017

年高考英语命题趋势做出提示，信息仅供参考。

（1）命题形式：从考纲说明推断，第三部分第二节（语法填空）命题素材为短文形式。

（2）考查方式：阅读理解推断题可能不仅限于简单推断类，而体现较高思维层次的推断。

2．高考考情报告

（1）命题选材丰富多样，体裁多样化。

（2）命题素材体现教育意义，落实立德树人任务。

（3）弘扬中华优秀文明，引导树立民族自信。

（4）试卷追求严谨科学，全面考查语言能力。

二、命题预测

1．命题素材体现传统文化，在语境中考查知识

命题规划重视语境设置，突出考查考生在不同语境下对词汇、句法和语篇的理解和运用

能力。试题的语境化设计可体现在各种题型的设计中，特别是从2014年开始引入的新题型

--语法填空，更加明显地体现了在语境中考查语法基础知识的特点。

例题1：2017届全国100所名校最新高考模拟示范卷（六）

语法填空

An umbrella is a folding cloth cover supported by wooden or metal ribs (伞骨). The word “umbrella” 61 (typical) refers to a great invention of China, used for 62 (protect) from rain.

The Chinese character for umbrella is related to the shape of a real one, 63 (resemble) the modern umbrella in design. Some investigators have supposed that its invention 64 (create) by tying large leaves to branchy-like ribs. Others advocate that the idea probably came from the tent, 65 remains unchanged in form to the present day.

66 use of the umbrella was often linked to high-ranking in ancient China.

67 at least one occasion, twenty-four umbrellas were carried before the Emperor

68 he went out hunting. The umbrella 69 (serve) in this case as a defense against rain rather than sun. The Chinese design was later brought to Japan via Korea and also introduced to Persia and the Western world via the Silk Road. The Chinese and Japanese traditional umbrella, often 70 (use) near temples, remains similar

to the original ancient Chinese design.

【语篇导读】本文素材涉及中国传统文化现象—伞的发明和发展，有利于引导考生树立

文化自信。

2．稳定保持素材的语言真实性

学习语言和进行语言测试时，命题者会选取一些情景真实、语言地道的语言材料，这样

才能够真正体会到该语言承载的文化。本着这一原则，命题者会尽力保持所选材料的“原汁

原味”，同时结合考生的实际水平，按照考生水平进行适当简化。

例题3：2017届全国100所名校单元测试示范卷高三英语卷（三）

阅读理解

Among our greatest achievements is the accumulated technological culture -- the tool-using skill that is passed from one generation to the next. But a similar observation might be made about the New Caledonian crow, the only non-human species assumed to possess its own accumulated technological culture.

How the crows transmit(传达) knowledge to each other is the focus of a study by Corina Logan, a junior research fellow at UC Santa Barbara's Sage Center. "We don't know how they learn, and we don't know whether the crows are paying attention to the actions of others when they learn from someone else，" said Logan.

The crows have been observed using tools they've made out of long, narrow Pandanus leaves to dig worms out of logs. Even more curious, the crows have also been observed using tools made of the same material but in different shapes -- wide, narrow and stepped. However, no one has been able to explain the geographic variation in tool shapes -- all three shapes are seen at the south end of New Caledonia, while the stepped tool is more popular everywhere else.

"It's thought that in order for tool shapes to be transmitted, one bird would have to watch another cutting the leaf and then mimic that bird's actions." Logan said.

In an experiment, she found if one crow saw a companion interacting with a particular area of a device, reaching its bill through a door and pulling out a piece of boiled egg -- the treat -- the former was more likely to try that particular door before choosing the other access options. But once they went to that door, they began to solve the problem on their own.

"The social learning attracts them to a particular object and then they solve it through trial and error learning after that," Logan said.

31.What is unique to the New Caledonian crow compared to other birds?

A. The ability to use tools for food.

B. The ability to speak a bird language.

C. The ability to communicate with body language.

D. The ability to accumulate technological knowledge.

32. Which of the following can best describe crows?

A. Curious.

B. Cautious.

C. Smart.

D. Popular.

33. What does the underlined wo rd “mimic” in the fourth paragraph mean?

A. Observe.

B. Copy.

C. Predict.

D. Explain.

34. What conclusion can we draw from the experiment?

A. Crows would do whatever others do.

B. Some crows are cleverer than others.

C. Crows would learn from others but not entirely.

D. Crows didn’t pay attention to others’ actions at all.

语篇导读：乌鸦是一种非常聪明的鸟，它们在觅食时会利用并且自制工具。那么它们是如何学得这种技能的呢？这正是科学家一直以来研究的问题。

4．素材体现对核心素养的蕴涵式考查和引导，传递课程改革理念

部分素材的选取特别注重对目的语国家社会生活和文化知识的介绍和传递，体现文化内涵。部分素材可能体现情感和正面价值观等思想，体现英语教学的教育性。

本文是夹叙夹议的文章。在布鲁塞尔旅游的时候，因为语言的差异，“我”与当地人沟通不是很流畅。在饭店订饭时，因为服务员与“我”交流上很费劲，结果忘了收“我”的钱，发现后“我”及时把钱给她，由此“我”认识到诚实是“我”的一部分。

5．书面表达

新课标高考注重对考生写作能力的有效考查。话题贴近考生生活经历和认知水平，为了保证测试公平，多从日常生活中寻找命题情境的切入点。在设计形式方面，为了尽量提高信度，命题者尽力在开放性和控制性间谋求最佳平衡点。

2017年高考英语全国卷I--语法填空答案及详解

第二节(共10小题；每小题 1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt. This trend, which was started by the medical community（医学界）61 a method of fighting heart disease, has had some unintended side 62(effect) such as overweight and heart disease—the very thing the medical community was trying to fight. Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required 63(process) the food that we eat, to recover from injury and for several other bodily functions. When fat and salt 64 (remove) from food, the food tastes as if it is missing something. As 65 result, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing. Even 66 (bad), the amount of fast food that people eat goes up. Fast food 67(be) full of fat and salt; by 68 (eat) more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet. Having enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack(吃点心) between meals and will improve the taste of your food. However, be 69 (care) not to go to extremes. Like anything, it is possible to have too much of both, 70 is not good for the health. 翻译：最近，在食品服务业方面有一种朝着低脂肪和少盐的趋势。这种趋势最初是由医学界发起，用来作为防御心脏病的一种方式，已经产生一些意料之外的副作用，例如，肥胖 和心脏病，这正好是医学界致力去防御的疾病。 脂肪和盐分是每日膳食中的重要部分。我们需要他们去加工处理摄入的食物、有助于伤病的恢复和满足几项人体正常的运作。当脂肪和盐分从食物当中被去除了，食物尝起来 好像有所缺失。结果，人们会吃更多的食物来补偿缺失的东西。甚至更糟糕的是，人们吃 了更多的快餐食品。快餐中脂肪和盐的含量很高；由于吃了更多的快餐，人们会摄入比他 们在饮食中所需要的更多的盐分和脂肪。 通过每日饮食摄入足够的脂肪和盐分会减少在两餐之间吃点心的欲望，而且会提高你的食物的味道。然而，要注意不要摄入过量。跟其他食物一样，我们也有可能会吃太多， 这一点是对我们的健康不利。 61.as 考查介词。根据句意“这一趋势最开始被医学界作为一种治疗心脏病方法”可知这里 表达“作为”之意，所以答案填as。 62.effects 考查名词单复数。有前面的修饰短语some可知这里的side effects应该用复数，所以答案填effects。 63.to process 考查非谓语动词。根据固定短语be required to do sth.“被要求做某事”可知此处答案填to process。

2017年6月天津高考英语卷子 阅读C、D翻译

2017 6月 D I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing a ll of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the iss ue, let?s take a look at three types of “waits”. The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait. It is without doubt the most anno ying of all. Take filling up the kitchen sink (洗碗池) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it?s full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wan ders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of w ait makes the waiter helpless and mindless. A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait. This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait. Directions are very specific. “Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand fi ve minutes.” I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After a ll, Forced Waiting requires patience. Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait. This type of wait is u nusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen. Turning one?s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optim ists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it. As long as one doesn?t co me to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody. We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time you?rstanding at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you?ll have to eat until a large bag of c ash falls out of the sky, don?t be desperate. You?re probably just as busy as the next guy. 我在某个地方读到过，我们花了整整三分之一的时间在等待。但是，我们在哪里做这些等待呢?对于像我们这样一个没有耐心的社会来说，这意味着什么呢?为了理解这个问题，让我们来看看三种类型的“等待”。 等待是最纯粹的等待。毫无疑问，这是最令人讨厌的。以厨房洗涤槽为例。当这一切发生的时候，你绝对不能做任何事情，但要让双眼紧盯着水槽，直到它满了为止。在等待的过程中，大脑会从身体上滑出，四处游荡，直到水从柜台边缘流到你的袜子上。这种等待使侍者变得无助和没有头脑。 守望者的表弟是被迫等待的。这需要一点自律。做好包装的面汤，需要有强迫的等待。非常具体的方向。将三杯开水煮沸，加入混合物，煮三分钟，从火中取出，放五分钟。我怀疑是否有人严格遵守了程序。毕竟，强迫等待需要耐心。 也许最强大的等待是幸运的等待。这种等待是不寻常的，因为它大部分是自愿的。不像强迫等待，这也是自愿的，等待你的幸运休息并不一定意味着它会发生。 把一个人的生命变成等待的游戏需要信念和希望，这对我们中间的乐观主义者是严格的。表面上看，这似乎很荒谬，就像在汤混合上的说明一样，但幸运的是，那些愿意去做的人却在等待。只要你不依赖它，希望有几件好事不会伤害到任何人。 我们确实花了很多时间等待。下次你“站在水池边，等着它装满你要吃的面条汤，直到一大袋现金从天上掉下来，不要绝望。”你可能和下一个人一样忙。 C
