In fact, an estimated 13 percent of the world’s population (25)______ be left-handed. Most people are right-handed. This fact also seems to have held true (26)______ history. In 1977, scientists studied works of art made at various times starting with cave drawings from 15,000 B.C. and ending with paintings from the 1950s. Most of the people (27)______ (show) in these works of art are right-handed.

Many researchers claim (28)______ (find)relationships between left-handedness and various physical and mental characteristics. However, (29)______ of these connections are very weak, and others have not been proven.What makes a person become right-handed rather than left-handed? As yet, no one really knows for sure.

(30)______ ______ ______ reasons may be behind it, people’s attitudes toward left-handedness have changed a lot over the years.

“Once we spread out into space and establish independent colonies, our future should be safe,”Stephen Hawking says.Stephen Hawking, one of the world’s most important scientists, believes that to __41__, humans must move into space.

Today, the United States, India, China, and Japan are all planning to send astronauts back to Earth’s closest __42__: the moon. Each country wants to create space stations there between 2020 and 2030. These stations will __43__prepare humans to visit and later live on Mars or other Earth-like planets.

Robert Zubrin, a rocket scientist, thinks humans should __44__ space. He wants to start with Mars. Why? There are several advantages: for one, sending people to the moon and Mars will allow us to learn a lot—for example, whether living on other planets is possible. Then, we can eventually__45__ new human societies on other planets. In addition, the __46__ we make for space travel in the fields of science, technology, medicine, and health can also benefit us here on Earth.

But not everyone thinks sending humans into space is a(n)__47__ idea. Many say it’s too expensive to send people, even on a short __48__. And most space trips are not short. A one-way trip to Mars, for example, would take about six months. People travelling this kind of distance face a number of health problems. Also, for many early space __49__, life would be extremely difficult. On the moon’s surface, for example, the air and the sun’s rays are very dangerous. People would have to stay indoors most of the time.

Despite these __50__, sending people into space seems certain. In the future, we might see lunar(月球上的) cities and maybe even new human cultures on other planets. III. Reading Comprehension

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

When you say that someone has a good memory, what exactly do you mean? Are you saying that the person has fast recall or that he or she__51__ information quickly? Or maybe you just mean that the person remembers a lot about her or his childhood. The truth is that it is __52__ to say exactly what memory is. Even scientists who have been studying memory for decades say they are still trying to __53__ exactly what it is. We do know that a particular memory is not just one thing stored somewhere in the brain. __54__, a memory is made up of bits and pieces of information stored all over the brain. Perhaps the best way to __55__ memory is to say that it is a process—a process of recording, storing, and getting back information. Practice and repetition can help to __56__ the pieces that make up our memory of that

information.

Memory can be __57__ affected by a number of things. __58__ nutrition can affect a person’s ability to store information. Excessive alcohol use can also weaken memory and cause permanent __59__ to the brain over the long term. A vision or hearing problem may affect a person’s ability to notice certain things, thus making it __60__ to register information in the brain.

When people talk about memory, they often__61__ short-term memory and long-term memory. If you want to call a store or an office that you don’t call often, you look in the telephone book for the number. You dial the number, and then you forget it! You use your short-term memory to remember the number. Your short-term memory lasts about 30 seconds, or half a minute. __62__, you don’t need to look in the telephone book for your best friend’s number, because you already know it. This number is in your long-term memory, which __63__ information about things you have learned and experienced through the years.

Why do you forget things sometimes? The major reason for forgetting something is that you did not learn it well enough __64__. For example, if you meet some new people and right away forget their names, it is because you did not __65__ the names at the first few seconds when you heard them.

51. A. collects B. processes C. publishes D. absorbs

Section B

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given

in the passage you have just read.

(A)

In 1991, high in the mountains of Europe, hikers made a discovery: a dead man partly frozen in the ice. However, the police investigation soon became a scientific one. Carbon dating indicated that the man died over 5,300 years ago. Today he is known as the Iceman and has been nicknamed “?tzi”for the ?tztal Alps where he was found. Kept in perfect condition by the ice, he is the oldest complete human body on the earth.

Scientists think he was an important person in his society. An examination of his teeth and skull tells us that he was not a young man.His arms were not the arms of a laborer. His dagger(匕首) was made of stone, but he carried a copper axe. This implies wealth, and he was probably from the upper classes.We know he could make fire, as a fire-starting kit was discovered with him. Even the food he had eaten enabled scientists to reason exactly where in Italy he lived.

But why did the Iceman die in such a high and icy place? There have been many theories. Some said he was a lost shepherd. Others thought he was killed in a religious ceremony. Over the years since he was found, tiny scientific discoveries have led to great changes in our understanding of the story of the Iceman. The newest scientific information indicates that he was cruelly murdered. “Even five years ago, the story was that he fled up there and walked around in the snow and probably died of exposure,” said Klaus Oeggl, a scientist at the University of Innsbruck in Austria. “Now it’s all changed. It’s more like a…crime scene.”

In June 2001, an X-ray examination of the body showed a small dark shape beneath

the Iceman’s left shoulder. It was the stone head of an arrow. It had caused a deadly injury that probably killed him very quickly. In 2003, an Australian scientist discovered the blood of four different people on the clothes of the Iceman. Did a bloody fight take place before his murder? Injuries on his hand and head indicate that this may be true. One theory, put forward by archeologist (考古学家) WalterLeitner, says that the Iceman’s murder was the end of a fight for power among his people. However, this idea is certainly debatable.

66. What does “?tzi”refer to ________.

A. the oldest perfectly preserved human body

B. the most famous tourist attraction?tztal Alps

C. an important discovery by the police of Europe

D. the person living in ?tztal Alps for a long time

67. After the examination of the Iceman, scientists believe that ________.

A. he died at an early age

B. he made a fire-starting kit

C. he had a higher social status

D. he was born at a village in Italy

68. According to Klaus Oeggl, the Iceman died from________.

A. a serious disease

B. a snow disaster

C. a religious faith

D. a terrible murder

69. What is the passage mainly talking about?

A. The life of ancient people in the AlpsMountains.

B. The cruel religious life of the Europeans in the past.

C. The discovery andpossiblecause of death of the Iceman.

D. The application of carbon dating technology to the Iceman.

(C)

Big trees are incredibly important ecologically. For a start, they provide food for countless other species and shelter for many animals. With their tall branches in the sun, they capture vast amounts of energy. This allows them to produce massive crops of fruit and flowers that sustain much of the animal life in the forest. Only a small number of tree species have the genetic abilityto grow really big. The biggest are native to North America, but big trees grow all over the globe, from the tropics to the forests of the high latitudes(纬度). To achieve giant size, a tree needs three things: the right place to establish its seedling, good growing conditions and lots of time with low adult death rate. Lose any of these, and you will lose your biggest trees.

In some parts of the world, populations of big trees are dwindling because their seedlings cannot survive. In southern India, for instance, an aggressive non-native bush, Lantana camara , is invading the floor of many forests. Lantana grows so thickly that young trees often fail to take root. With no young trees to replace them, it is only a matter of time before most of the big trees disappear.

Without the right growing conditions, trees cannot get really big and there is some evidence to suggest tree growth could slow in a warmer world, particularly in environments that are already warm. Having worked for decades at La Selva Biological Station in Puerto Viejo de Sarapiqui, Costa Rica, David and Deborah Clark and colleagues have shown that tree growth there declines markedly in warmer years. “During the day, their growth shuts down when it gets too warm, and at night they consume more energy because their metabolic(新陈代谢的) rate increases,” explains David Clark. With less energy produced in warmer years and more being consumed just

to survive, there is even less energy available for growth.

The Clarks’ theory, if correct, means tropical forests would shrink over time.The largest, oldest trees would progressively die off and tend not to be replaced. According to the Clarks, this might cause a destabilization of the climate; as older trees die, forests would release some of their stored carbon into the atmosphere, causing a cycle of further warming, forest shrinkage and carbon emissions. Besides, big trees face threats from elsewhere.

73. According to the passage, big trees make great contributions to theecosystem because ________.

A. they can capture large amounts of energy

B. they determine the change of global climate

C. they provide the essentials for many creatures

D. they can avoid a new cycle of further warming

74. All the following factors are a must for making big trees EXCEPT ______.

A. no deadly damage

B. genetic contribution

C. ideal environment for growth

D. high-latitude location

75. The word “dwindling” (paragraph3) is closest in meaning to “______”.

A. exploding

B. growing

C. changing

D. declining

76. What is the best title of the passage?

A. Big trees in trouble.

B. Advantages of big trees.

C. Results of big trees’ disappearing.

D. Importance of big trees to humans.

77. What will the author most probably discuss after the last paragraph?

A. More threats to the existence of big tress.

B. The effect of human activities on big trees.

C. Benefits of big trees to the whole atmosphere.

D. Comparison between common trees and big ones.

Section C

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

Different people may find that different learning methods work best for them. While some would turn to tutoring in order to get better grades, others choose to join study groups. In fact, many universities encourage their students to form study groups and make good use of them.

“Two heads are better than one.” That’s the simple idea behind study groups. By participating in a study group, students can benefit from some of their best academic resources: other students. They get to pick each other’s brains and improve their own understanding of different problems. Moreover, study groups can create the slightly tense atmosphere in which it’s good to study. For example, some students tend to procrastinate (拖延) when they are studying by themselves; however, by joining a study group, they get to observe their peers who are working diligently and are likely to thus have motivation for working harder.

Study groups work best when they are small, but not too small—four to five participants is about right. And it’s necessary to make sure everyone has the same goal, to prepare for a particular test, to discuss class readings or to review the week’s lecture notes. Besides, socializing in the group would make studying more fun as long as it took up only a small portion of group study time.

In addition, to maximize the efficiency, some study groups like to assign members certain roles, and thus efficiency will be promoted. Besides an organizer, who gets group members to agree to a common purpose and a convenient time and place, there often is a group member playing the role of a source-seeker, whose duty is to remind group members to identify their sources. For instance, when a group member says “I read somewhere that ... ,” the source-seeker should ask for specifics. This person reminds the group that it’s important to know who said what and where it was said. And a gatekeeper, who tries to make sure that all group members are participating, may ask a direct question to help a shy person participate, or find a way to get a dominating member to listen.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)

78. Many universities encourage students to take advantage of ________ for better grades rather than learning alone.

79. Peers are not only the best academic resources but also motivate each other to _________ when learning in groups.

80. According to paragraph 3, besides the small size, what are the other two factors that could help a study group work best?

81. All the members in the study group will be assigned different roles because people believe that it will result in _______.

Section B Passages

Directions: In section B, you will hear two short passages, and you will be asked three questions on each of the passages. The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.

One afternoon after the death of her grandfather, Carol lay on her bed, crying. Her mother asked, “What's the matter, honey?”

“I miss my grandpa. I miss talking to him about my problems,” Carol said.

“I know,” said her mother. “I miss him too. But can't you talk to me?” Carol shook her head. “Why not?” Mother persisted.

“Because you're what we talked about,” sobbed Carol.

Children may not enjoy heart-to-heart talk with their parents, however much Mom and Dad may love them. And adults may choose not to discuss problems with many of their friends, co-workers or distant family. But it is important to have SOMEONE with whom we can be emotionally close.

Most people have nobody who they feel they could telephone at 2:00 in the morning

if their lives fall apart. Nobody they think would be glad to hear their problems. The world is so empty if one thinks only of mountains, rivers and cities; but to know someone here and there who thinks and feels with us, and who is close to us in spirit, this makes the earth an inhabited garden. Is the earth, for you, more like a lonely desert or an inhabited garden? The difference may simply be in whom you feel free to call at 2:00 AM. Do you have such a person? And are you such a person for someone else?

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words. If we are to find the kind of friend who knows the song in our hearts, we must also BE that kind of friend.

Questions

11. Why didn’t Carol want to talk with her mother as she did to her grandfather?

12. Which is true according to the passage?

13. What does this passage want to explain?

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.

In the high mountain country outside the city of Toluker, there stands a prison. This prison is quite different from other prisons in the world. The guards, except for two at the main gate, are not armed. There are many remarkable things about Toluker prison. For example, of the 15,000 individuals who have been in prison at Toluker, less than two percent have got into trouble again with the law. Men in the open prison are free to find work on the outside but must go back to prison each night. On weekends they are allowed to go home. When most other prisons are still sending criminals back into society,Toluker is returning people who stand on their own feet and contribute to society. In 1974, a prisoner called Barb Crook moved to the open prison. A year later, he left Toluker for the last time. He was then nearly forty six and had been in prison for fourteen years. He got a job as construction worker in the city, remarried and was regarded as a useful person of his community. If you ask Bob why Toluker works, he would say,“Because they believed in me when I was at my worst.”

Questions

14. Why do people sayToluker prison is an open prison?

15. What is the essential characteristic of Toluker Prison?

16. What is the speaker`s attitude toward this type of prison?

not kind to her youngest sister, Helen.

W: Yes, she had her birthday a few days ago, and we were not happy that day. She wanted to go out to a party until 2 o'clock in the morning.

M: How does she get on with her father?

W: Well, she's a lot better with him: He's always calm and never gets excited withher. You see, he doesn't have to cope with her all the time like me. How can one remain calm and reasonable all the time as a housewife?

历年高考英语试卷英语试卷分析

。。 . . 。。. . 2005～2006学年上期期末考试 高一英语试卷分析 雅安市教科所英语组 本次高一英语考试题满分为150分，试题难易适度。但是，从全市高一6780多名学生的答题情况来看，却不容乐观。全市高一英语平均分仅为66.45分，得分率仅为0.44，最高分134分，最低分6分，差异系数33.49。这些数据基本反映出我市高一英语教学质量的现状。这些数据表明我市高一英语教学质量不高，在全省处于落后位置，形势非常严峻，须引起全市高一英语教师高度注意。为此，我们必须认真总结经验，找出差距，认真分析存在的问题，采取措施，改进教学方法，为提高英语教学质量而努力工作。 为了帮助高一英语老师搞好教学工作，我们对试题进行了统计分析(请见统计表)，并将我们的意见简述如下：

本试卷分为听力测试、单项填空、完形填空、阅读理解、写作五道大题，下面分大题进行逐题分析与探讨，并结合教学提出建议。 一、听力测试。该试题以考查对于口头语言的理解为目的，要求学生能够听懂日常交际中发音清楚、语速正常的简短对话和独白。本题满分30分，全市平均分19.57，最高分30分，最低分0分。本题是全卷中难度最低的题，难度系数为0.65。本题也是学生得分最高的题，说明学生的听力有所提高。 本题虽是学生得分最高的题，但是老师和同学们对此决不能骄傲自满。须知，本试题的难度距高考试题尚有一定的差距。在今后的教学中，教师应指导学生多听地道的标准的英美人的录音材料，在教学中应尽量用英语组织教学，鼓励学生在课堂内外大胆地主动地朗读英语，用英语进行对话，不断地提高学生们的听力水平。 二、单项填空。本试题主要考查学生对英语语法、词汇知识和较为简单的表达方式的掌握情况。本题满分25分，全市平均分11.54，最高分25分，最低分0分，难度系数为0.46。学生得分较低。 本题学生得分较低，说明不少的学生在基本的语法掌握上还有差距。本试题既注重考查语言形式，也注重考查语义内容，还注重考查语言的运用。学生得分低，说明学生在语言的运用上还存在较大的差距。 在今后的教学中，教师要指导学生掌握基本的英语语法知识、词汇知识和较为简单的表达方式，还要在此基础上培养学生在特定的语言环境中运用语言的能力。 三、完形填空。本试题主要考查学生在阅读理解的基础上对词汇知识的掌握情况，本题满分30分，全市平均分12.51分，最

2018年高考英语全国卷一试卷分析与历年真题对比 一、2018新课标一高考英语考试范围及考试结构 2018年高考英语科目从考试要求、考试形式和卷面结构来看均与2017年保持一致。 【第一部分：听力】20个单选题的形式，听力话题与生活息息相关。 【第二部分：阅读理解】 2018年针对阅读依然是传统的四篇单选阅读加一篇七选五任务型阅读，重点考察考生对文章内容的细节理解、推力判断、词义猜测、主旨归纳以及文章逻辑的处理能力。 【第三部分：语言知识运用】 第一节：完形填空取材于现实，题材为记叙文。通过记叙的方式文章讲述了作者在大学期间学习下棋的经历。这个话题与2017年在大学期间学习手语的话题非常相似。 第二节：语法填空通过提示词和无提示词两种方式着重考察考生对实词和虚词的综合考察。 【第四部分：写作】 第一节：短文改错延续8:1:1的改错原则，8个改词，1个多词，1个缺词。考察重点和方式与往年区别不大。 第二节：书面表达整体中等难度，以邮件的形式介绍去中国朋友家做客的一些习俗。是传统的书信形式，难度不大。 二、2018年新课标高考英语试题命题特点 2018年英语试题，本次题目创新上比较少，整体中规中矩，没有出现偏难偏怪的题目，选项基本上平时强化练习都会涉及到。书面表达也比较容易，作答时不会出现太费力的地方。并且阅读题中设置的难点区分度并不是特别明显。因此整体上来说今年全国卷I英语整体难度较去年略有下降，但个别题目较新颖，考察灵活有设置适量陷阱。 三、2014-2018年新课标高考英语高考点分布及对比分析

四、2019备考指南 1.语法知识的梳理要更加全面，侧重学生对语法知识的基本理解和灵活应用。语法知识的学习不能孤立起来，要跟各个题型的应用相结合。以定语从句为例，要掌握定语从句的基本知识点，明确在短文改错、语法填空中的考查方式；掌握阅读理解中定语从句相关的长难句分析；掌握写作中定语从句句式的灵活应用，以提高写作层次。这样语法知识的学习才能更加全面，真正理解，达到语法知识学习的根本目的。 2.词汇的学习是英语成绩提升的根本，所以要重视词汇的学习和积累。高中单词很多，要分层次的学习。重点单词要会读，会写而且掌握基本的用法及词性转换。非重点单词在阅读理解里面出现不影响理解就可以。掌握各个题型如听力、阅读、完形中的高频词汇，能提高单词学习的效率。 3.各个题型都有一定的做题方法，但最根本的还是词汇和语法知识的灵活应用，所以题型做题方法与技巧的讲解不能脱离具体题目的练习，否则学生不会掌握到任何实质性的方法和技巧。 另外，要在各个题型的讲解中，强化长难句分析的练习，通过阅读理解专项练习进行词汇的积累和文章中长难句的分析，锻炼学生在长难句中提炼关键信息的能力。 4.写作的练习要从最基础的句式开始练习，教给学生独立写句子的能力，单纯的万能句式并不能帮助学生应付所有类型的写作，所以能力的提升才是根本。另外，写作的内容越来越灵活，书信形式基本不变，但是内容上越来越多样化，甚至是倾向于结合相应的文化知识进行写作，所以需要让学生接触更多的写作形式，掌握必要的不同文化背景下的基础词汇。
