　　(80分钟104分)

　　Part A

　　一、阅读理解(共7小题;每小题2分,满分14分)

　　A

　　A mother left unable to walk or talk after suffering a massive stroke has defied(反抗) the odds(逆境) to complete a university degree—by blinking.

　　Dawn Faizey Webster was left with locked-in syndrome(综合征) after the attack in 2003,two weeks after her son Alexander was born.

　　The condition is where a patient is fully-aware and awake—but cannot move or communicate verbally due to complete paralysis of nearly all muscles in the body,except for the eyes.

　　Incredibly,the former teacher,then 30,discovered she could still communicate through her eyes and tiny head movements.

　　She has now achieved a 2∶2 degree in Ancient History and written an autobiography(自传)—all thanks to a specialized laptop that translates her eye movements into text.

　　Ms Faizey Webster,now 42,worked three hours a day on the degree,nudging(轻推) buttons by using either side of her head to move the cursor(光标) on the screen and blinking to register the letters.

　　Six years on,she has completed the course with honors and is now hoping to tackle a Master in History of Art.

　　Ms Faizey Webster said,“When I passed my degree,I was so pleased and proud of myself.I had achieved my goal that I had for six years been striving for.No matter what obstacles were in my way,such as getting pneumonia(肺炎) twice and other lesser illnesses,I was determined to reach my goal.”

　　1.Dawn Faizey Webster can only blink because of .

　　C.her hard work

　　A.she can’t understand what other people say

　　B.she has been getting through many obstacles since the illness

　　C.she can’t communicate without the laptop

　　D.she is still healthy except that she can’t walk or talk

　　【文章大意】本文为记叙文,主要讲述了一位母亲在失去语言和行走能力之后,仅靠眨眼拿到本科学历的励志故事。

　　1.D　细节理解题。根据文章第二段和第三段内容可知,道恩·费尔兹·韦伯斯特患上了闭锁综合征,因此她只能通过眨眼睛进行交流。

　　3.C　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“...and is now hoping to tackle a Master in History of Art.”可知,现在她希望能继续攻读艺术史硕士学位,从而可推断她接下来要继续学习。

　　4.B　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“No matter what obstacles were in my way,such as getting pneumonia twice and other lesser illnesses”可推断,她在这十多年中克服了很多困难,故B项正确。

　　二、语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)

　　In most big cities,it is possible 1.(hire) a taxi at a moment’s notice when the weather is good.But when it’s raining,people have a much harder time 2.(find) one.One obvious reason is 3. many people who walk short distances during good weather prefer 4.(take) a taxi in the rain.So taxis will tend to be more fully 5.(occupy) on rainy days.In addition,the supply of available taxis is also 6.(small) because taxi driver works shorter hours when it rains.Why?Many drivers,according to a recent survey,work only as long as 7. takes to reach a targeted income each day.On sunny days,they must spend much of their time for fares,so it takes longer to reach the target.They can reach the target more 8.(quick)when it’s raining because taxis tend to be full most of the time.9.,taxi drivers should work as many hours as possible on rainy days and spend more spare time on sunny days,if their goals were to reach a target level of income over a longer period,say one month,by 10.(work) the smallest possible number of hours. 

　　1.to hire。It is possible to do sth.为固定句型,意为“做某事是可能的”。

　　2.finding。have time (in) doing sth.为固定用法,意为“有时间做某事”。

　　3.that。that引导表语从句。

　　4.to take/taking。prefer to do/doing sth.意为“更喜欢做某事”。

　　5.occupied。taxi与occupy为被动关系,意为“出租车被占用”,前面已有“be”,故用occupied。

　　6.smaller。根据下文中的shorter hours可知,此处应用比较级,前后保持一致。

　　7.it。it在这里是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的动词不定式。

　　8.quickly。动词reach需用副词来修饰。

　　9.Therefore。下文是针对上文描述的现象给出的总结性建议。总结前面内容,另起一句,故填Therefore。

　　10.working。介词后跟V-ing形式。

　　Don’t litter.Rubbish thrown away carelessly outside often washes into storm drains(排水沟),which empty into rivers and eventually flow to the oceans.　2　  

　　Say,“No bag,thank you.” Whether you’re buying toys,snacks,or clothes,tell the checkout person you don’t need a bag.By carrying your own reusable bag,you’ll help reduce the 100 million plastic bags that each year block sewers(下水道),and get swallowed by whales,sea turtles,and other wildlife.

　　Plant a tree.　3　 They produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide(二氧化碳),a gas that animals,including humans,produce naturally as they breathe.But because carbon dioxide also comes from cars and factories,there is too much of it in the atmosphere,which is contributing to global warming.If everyone planted one tree,those trees would remove a large amount of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. 

　　4　 Every time you leave a room for more than a minute,turn off the light you’re using.In this way,you save energy and keep greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere.

　　(2015·浙江高考)

　　四、书面表达(满分25分)

　　(2015·银川三模)如今,我们身边不乏“低头族”。他们在与朋友聚会、家人团聚或乘坐交通工具时,常常低头忙于浏览手机。请简要描述此现象,并发表你的看法。

　　提示词:低头族phubbing

　　注意:

　　1.词数100左右;

　　2.可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。

　　_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

　　【思路点拨】本文是议论文,要求学生就“低头族”现象发表自己的看法,故应用一般现在时和第三人称。

　　【参考范文】

　　The phenomenon that people are always phubbing is becoming more and more popular.Some people only stare at the screens of their phones,ignoring people around them no matter when they are taking a bus,holding a party or even getting together with their families.Worse still,they will not miss the chance of surfing the Internet or playing the games when they cross the road,which is likely to cause serious accidents and threaten their lives.

　　It is high time that we threw away the phone and raised our heads up.Do cherish the ones around us and appreciate the splendid scenery ahead of us.

　　【范文点评】本文要点齐全,层次分明,语言地道。文中灵活使用了that引导的同位语从句、现在分词短语ignoring作伴随状语、no matter when引导的让步状语从句、which引导的非限制性定语从句、It is high time that句型和并列祈使句等,显示了考生扎实的语言功底。
