阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项ABCD中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Despite the fact that it has never been seen almost everyone is familiar with the legendary unicorn(独角兽). Descriptions of unicorns have been found dating from ancient times. The great philosopher Aristotle theorized that there were two types of unicorn--- the so-called Indian Ass and the Oryx, a kind of antelope. Unicorns are often used in the logo of a noble family, town council or university as their special sign. Even Scotland is represented

by a unicorn.

According to the legend, anyone attempting to catch a unicorn had to be extremely cautious as it has a reputation for being very fierce. A clever trick suggested by unicorn-trappers, in order to catch this magnificent beast without being hurt by its horn, was for the hunter to stand in front of a tree and then to move quickly behind it as the unicorn charged. Hopefully, the creature could then be captured when its horn was stuck in the tree. When hollowed out and used as a drinking-cup, the unicorn’s horn was said to have the power to offer protection against person. It was believed that nobody could be harmed-by drinking the contents of a unicorn’s horn. Right up until the French Revolution in 1789, the French court was said to have used cups made of “unicorn” horn in order to protect the king. In addition, the horn was said to have medicinal value, so much so that it could be sold for more than ten times the price of the same weight of gold. What, then, was “unicorn” horn? We know at times the rhino(犀牛) was confused with this legendary creature. A drinking-cup supposedly made of “unicorn” horn was discovered to be made of the horn of a rhino.

56. Which of the following is TRUE of the unicorn? A. It was not historically recorded B. Its horn was first used in France

C. It was similar to the Indian Ass and the Oryx D. It could be the symbol of a university

57. To catch a unicorn, the unicorn-trappers had to try all of the following EXCEPT ____. A. tempting the unicorn to attack B. making use of the tree as a protection C. hiding quickly behind the unicorn D. having the unicorn horn stuck in the tree 58. The last paragraph is mainly about ____. A. the properties of the unicorn horn B. the users of the unicorn horn C. the price of the unicorn horn

D. the comparison between the unicorn horn and the rhino horn

59. In the last paragraph, the word “unicorn ” is in quotation marks (引号)because _____. A. the cup is designed only for a royal family B. the unicorn does not exist in reality C. the unicorn is the rarest animal in the world D. the medicinal value of the horn is appreciated

Topping the class academically was certainly an advantage. Studying was a breeze for Nigel. The reward was certainly incomparable to the little effort that he had to put it. It begin when he was selected to help the teachers in the computer laboratories.

The peak of his school career came not when he topped the school but when he was selected for the nationwide competition. Unlike everyone else, Nigel wanted to join the contest because he liked playing with the Lego sets and making something out of them. Nigel spent the next two months rebuilding the robot. It was during the time that Nigel found out about the prizes for the competition. Its well us auspices competitor. Alicia, from a neighboring school. His early intentions were forgotten. Getting the thousand-dollar prize was more important than anything else. Nigel decided to befriend Alicia. Unaware of his intentions, she told him all about the robot that she had been building for the competition.

He even helped her to put the finishing branches to her robot. He was glad with the way things had progressed. His robot looked even better than Alicia’s and it was able to become a ball with its arms, something Alicia had failed to do.

On the day of the competition, he says Alicia. Everything dawned on her the minute she saw him among the competition. She stared at him, puzzled at first, then angry and finally a look of helplessness came over her.

The flashbulbs of the camera exploded in Nigel’s try. The robot bird performed actions so unique and different that the specialist judgments were the same. Nigel was so personal with himself that he did not even notice the girl standing a few feet away from him. Without her, he would never win the competition.

64. What reward did Nigel receive for doing well in his school work?

A. He was offered a part-time job B. He was honored with a scholarship

C. He helped his teacher construct a robot D. He helped in the computer laboratories

65. Nigel’s original intention of joining the contest was to ___. A. be the top student of the school B. being great honor to his school

C. constructs a robot with the Lego sets D. wins the thousand-dollar prize 66. Why did Nigel help Alicia finish her robot?

A. He tried to make friends with her B. He was fond of building robots C. He intended to help her D. He didn’t want her to suspect him

67. What is the author’s attitude towards Nigel’s actions? A. He is mildly critical B. He is strongly critical

C. He is in favor of them D. His attitude is not clear

Intellectual property (IP) is a product of the mind that has commercial value. The concept dates back to 1623 when the first patent law to protect IP sights was passed. IP rights protect the artist from having his/her creative ideas copied by another. For example, if somebody generated an idea for a novel, that idea is protected by IP rights. If someone else wishes to represent the idea or develop it further, he/ she must consult the original artists, who will normally be rewarded financially for its use. Back in the 17th century, IP rights were primarily carried out to protect newly developed manufacturing processes against stealing. But today, intellectual property rights, are also enjoyed by those who creative music, art and literature.

In recent years, IP rights have been the focus of a great deal of discussion because of a technology which looks set to weaken them altogether; the Internet. Many years ago, if you wanted a recording of a song, you would have to purchase it from a music store; if a novel, form a book store. In those days, IP rights were easily protected since it was very difficult to obtain intellectual property without paying for it. However, a lot of IP, including songs, films, books and artwork, can be downloaded today free of charge using the Internet. This practice has now taken the world by storm, dramatically affecting the way in which we view IP rights. 68. According to the writer, in the beginning, If rights were mainly of use to ______. A. those creating music, art and literature B. novelists

C. engineers and inventors

D. those not receiving financial reward for their work

69. What do we know about the internet according to the passage? A. It makes IP rights harder to protect. B. It sells songs and films.

C. It does not affect the way we understand IP rights. D. It prevents the production of artwork.

70. According to paragraph 2, what has “taken the world by storm”? A. Intellectual property rights. B. The Internet.

C. Free downloading.

D. The large number of songs, films and books.

71. A possible title for this passage could be ______.

A. A History of IP Rights B. Ways to Protect Your IP Rights.

C. The Present and the Future Of IP D. IP Rights and Our Attitudes

Most people, when they travel to space, would like to stay in orbit for a few days of more. And this stands to reason, if you’re paying $20,000 for your trip to orbit! Strain order for tourism to reach its full potential there’s going to be a need for orbital accommodation---or space hotels. What would a space hotel actually be like to visit? Hotels in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotel------private rooms, meals, bars. But they’ll also offer two unique experiences: impressive views----of Earth and space---and the endless entertainment of living in zero gravity---including sports and other activities that make use of this.

The hotels themselves will vary greatly----from being quite simple in the early days to huge luxury structure at a later date. It’s actually surprising that as later as 1997, very few designs for space hotels were published. This is mainly because those who might be expected to design them haven’t expected launch costs to come down far enough to make them possible.

Lots of people who’ve been to space have described vividly what it’s like to live in zero gravity. There are obviously all sort of possibilities for dancing, gymnastics, and zero-G sports. Luckily, you don’t need to sleep much living in zero gravity, so you’ll have plenty of time for relaxing by hanging out in a bar with a window looking down at the turning Earth below.

Of course all good things have come to an end. Unfortunately, And so after a few days you’ll find yourself heading back enough you’ll be much more expert at exercising in zero gravity than you were when you arrived. You’ll be thinking how soon you can save up enough to get back up again---or maybe you should change jobs to get to work in an orbiting hotel.

72. When traveling in space, most people would like to stay in orbit for a few days because _______.

A. It is expensive to travel in space

B. they would find the possible life in other star systems C. they could enjoy the luxury of space hotels D. they want to realise the full potential of tourism

73. Which of the following is a unique experience that space hotels will offer? A. The gravitational pull B. The special views. C. The relaxation in a bar. D. The space walk.

74. Which of the following is not discussed in the passage? A. When was the space traveling made possible?

B. What are the unique experiences that space hotels will offer? C. Why were there not many published designs for space hotels? D. How can the travelers enjoy themselves in space hotels? 75. This passage is mainly about ________. A. traveling in space

B. the ways of living in space hotels C. zero gravity and space hotels D. the description of space hotels

08高考真题答案讲解与分析江西卷

一、整卷分析

今年是江西省高考英语自主命题的第四年，整体上试卷命题思路更加成熟，难度有所增加，考查的词汇量明显增大，区分度估计在0.50－0.55左右，较去年区分度更理想。整体题型无变化，单选、完型难度较大，阅读理解较容易，对话填空比较贴近学生，作文第一次使用较开放式作文，便于学生发挥，有话可说，有东西可写，避免了纯粹的翻译。二、试题解析

第一部分：听力理解

1－5 BACAB 6－10 ACCAA 11－15 CCBBC 16－20 ABBAC

第二部分：英语知识运用第一节：单项填空：

21. D 本题考查情景交际。由“我想你在Mr. Smith 看到之前应该把这封信再打印一次” “哦，真的吗？——” 可知对方对此不以为然。Is it as bad as that? ( 有那样糟吗？)其中A项Who care ( 谁在乎？) 不礼貌。

22. B 本题考查代词such的用法。以及so/such …… as to 的用法。这里的such 用作代词在句中作表语，表示“这样的人（事物），如：Such was the result. 23. C 本题考查代词作宾语。itself 指代前面的the human body 。

24. B 本题考查非谓语动词的用法。mention to do sth. 提到将要做某事 mention doing sth. 提到已经做过某事，本题应用完成被动式，D项应改为 mention to have been done 。

25. C 本题考查固定短语的用法。take …as 把…当作…题中it 做形式宾语。 26. D 本题考查虚拟语气的用法。表示对过去事实的推测，可能性较小，相当于could have done sth .

27. A 本题考查名词的词义辨析。

28. C 本题考查非谓语动词作定语的各种形式，过去分词allowed做后置定语表示被动，相当于which was allowed 。

29. A 本题考查有关give 的几个短语的辨析。give … away 泄露（秘密等），出卖，这里做“显露出”的意思。

30. B 本题考查冠词的用法。根据语境可知，rush –hour traffic和heavy rain 是双方都知道的造成迟到的原因，应用定冠词修饰。

31. C 本题既考查虚拟语气又考查倒装句的用法，本题关键在句子后半部分，前面it 做形式主语，that 引导的真正主句当中又是以only +时间状语位于句首，所以主句要部分倒装。 32. A 本题考查时态的用法。up till now =so far 到目前为止，是现在完成时的标志，根据语境可知我们的时间正在丧失殆尽，应用现在进行时。

33. D 本题考查形容词的辨析。normal 正常的；ordinary 普通的；common 常见的； typical 典型的，代表性的。只有D 项符合题意。例如：It’s typical of him to take hard job. 勇挑重担是他的特点。

34. D 本题考查原因状语从句的用法。in that =because 35. A 本题考查定语从句的用法。先行词是cases ，在……情况下应用 in this /that case ,注意介词不可少，in which =where 。【专项题型复习策略】

一是要重视基础——高考尽管是选拔性考试，但考查的重心仍是基础知识和基本能力，今年的单项填空题还是基础题。二是要重视应用——一定不要认为语法就是死记硬背的规则，一定要注意语法在生活中的应用。绝大多数题目都是在一个情境中考查基本语法知识的，而题目中的句子也是我们在生活中经常看到的、经常说、经常写的。如果我们平常在生活中能多留心语法知识的应用，一定对高考单项填空题的解答会大有帮助。

第二节：完形填空

本文是一篇观点独特的哲理小品，讲述的是三个年轻人在看到两个码头工人卸运石头之后的，引发的他们之间的一段对话。告诉我们在这个世界上尽管科技越来越发达，但还是代替不了人类的劳动。

37. B unloading 卸货，下一段有提示，前后呼应。 38. D era 时代

39. B expect 预料，想到。

40. D seem to do sth. 看起来如何……

41. B 从下文可知他们是有经验的（experienced）工人。

完形填空的难度这几年都是整张试卷最难的一题，难点在于考查的一些有哲理的内涵较深的东西，既考查语言，更考查对作者意图的理解，要想方设法接近作者的思想，融入文章当中才能与作者共鸣。第三部分：阅读理解

本文为一篇说明文，主要介绍了传说中的独角兽，如何捕捉，以及独角兽角的用途等。 56. D 细节理解题。由第一段最后一句不难得出答案。注意理解logo的意思为“作为标志的语句，标识语”。这是超纲但又是现在流行常用的词汇，需要注意积累。

57. C 细节理解题。从第三段第二句 ….to stand in front of a tree and then to move quickly behind it as the unicorn charged.可知猎人先在独角兽前面引诱，然后迅速闪到其身后，待其角插在树里面，实际上就是利用树作为保护。

58. A 主旨大意题。从最后一段不难得知主要讲述的是独角兽角的各种用途。 59. B 推理判断题。从最后一段最后一句可知，这种角实际上是犀牛角。

本文是一篇摘自报刊上的餐厅促销活动的广告。 60. A 细节理解题。从广告的第一段可知。 61. D 细节推断题。从第三段Win Prizes and Gifts! Spend ＄20.00 or more and win instant prizes from our lucky draw box. 可知。

62. A 细节推断题。从第三段Win Prizes and Gifts!部分可知只有A项优惠是人人可以享受到的，其它几项享受对象都有所限制。

63. C 细节理解题。从广告的第四部分黑体字标题可知。Winner to be announced in The Straits Times on the 15th of January.

C 这是五篇文章中的唯一一篇记叙文。主要讲的是一位学习优异的学生Nigel 一次有机会参加全国机器人大赛，开始时出于爱好，为了一千美元的奖金，别有用心的取得另一位参赛选手Alicia 的信任，获得她的参赛机器人秘密，当自己成功时却忘记了该感谢的人。 64. D 细节理解题。由第一段最后一句不难得出答案。

65. C 细节理解题。从第二段第二句可得出答案。出于爱好是他参赛的住处目的。

66. D 推理判断题。从全文主要是第二段可得知在她帮助Alicia 过程中是用心不良的，只是想获取对方的秘密，但又不能暴露自己，只好伪装到底。

67. A 推理判断题。从最后一段作者对成功后的Nigel得意忘形的描写，以及最后两句结尾的评论，可知作者对这种虚伪的人是持委婉批评态度的。 D 这是一篇介绍知识产权的文章，说明文文体。介绍了知识产权的过去和现在以及我们对待保护知识产权的态度。

68. C 细节理解题。从第一段最后一句可得知。A、B项是现在知识产权保护的的对象，D项未提及。

69. A 推理判断题。从第二段最后两句可得知，在现在网络社会里，许多拥有知识产权的东西可以在网上免费下载，这一惯例已经在全世界掀起了一场大的风暴，正极大地改变了人们对知识产权的以往认识，使得知识产权保护愈加困难。 70 C 推理判断题。依据同上。

71. D 主旨大意题。A、C项都不全面，B 项不是主要内容，D 项最能概括。

E 这是一篇科普说明文，主要介绍了在太空旅行中住宿的地方——太空宾馆（space hotels）,独特的体验如欣赏太空美景，在失重的状态下的无穷乐趣。读来也许会令你心驰神往的。 72. A 推理判断题。从第一段第一二两句 Most people, when they travel to space, would like to stay in orbit for a few days of more. And this stands to reason, if you’re paying $20,000 for your trip to orbit!和文章最后一段最后一句可推断出太空旅行因为价格昂贵目前只是少数人才能实现，但是这一切都是值得的，没有理由来了一次不去住space hotels.

73. B 细节推断题。从第一段最后一句But they’ll also offer two unique experiences: impressive views----of Earth and space---and the endless entertainment of living in zero gravity可知。其中A项未提及，C 项在第二段最后一句提到过但并非独特体验，D 项则未提及。 74. A 推理判断题。只有A项从未提及，B项在第一段最后一句提到过，C项在第二段可以找到依据，D项则在第三段进行了详细的介绍。

75. D 主旨大意题。从全文不难得出文章主要介绍了太空旅馆的情况。A项范围太广，B项以偏概全，C项不恰当并非介绍两者之间的关系。

【专项题型复习策略】

从今年的阅读部分来看，有三个特点：长难句、词汇量明显增加；很少给出生词的中文注释，不再单独考查猜测词义；说明文增加，社会、大自然、科普、广告方方面面都有涉及。这就要求在平时教学中要增加学生的阅读量，按新课标的要求：高中生英语课外阅读量应在36万字以上，大约900篇文章。要更加重视课本中所有课文的教学，特别是高三课本要引起足够的重视。对于问题，我们应更多的接触到说明文，阅读范围要扩大。第四部分：写作第一节：对话填空

76. earn 77. knowledge 78. behaved be behaved（adj.） 79. really 80. advertis(z)ed see sth. done

81. meant mean to do sth. 打算做某事 82. start 83. detail(s) detail [U;C]详细，明细: go into detail(s)

84. secretary 85. boring 修饰sth. 用boring 表示“令人厌烦的”，而bored 修饰sb,表示“感到厌倦的”。

【专项题型复习策略】

对于今年的对话填空，我们可以明显看出，江西高考英语对词汇量的要求明显提高，对

词形的正确形式对语法的要求都提高了，这就要求我们在平时的日常教学中引起重视，从起始年级就开始重视语法和词汇的教学，以适应新课标的要求，词汇量应达到4500左右，而目前要求只有3000左右。

第二节：书面表达

今年是开放式的作文，没有提供具体的内容要点，只提示从三个方面去写，可发挥的余地较大。今后我们要加强开放式写作的训练，平常坚持多写周记，这种文体可参考高考北京卷的书面表达部分。专项题型复习策略：

要想在高考作文中取得优异成绩需要做到以下几点：内容充实，要点全面；语言丰富，文字优美；行文连贯，过渡自然。注意多使用复杂结构，如定语从句、非谓语动词、倒装句式等。要有连接词使上下文衔接自然，浑然一体。要有高级词汇，尽量使用短语，以证明自己驾驭词汇的能力，处处有闪光点、亮点，打动阅卷老师，争取高分。一句话得阅读者得天下。这就需要在平时多写周记，多背范文。No pains, no gains!
