第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

The Basics of Math—Made Clear

Basic Math introduces students to the basic concepts of mathematics, as well as the fundamentals of more tricky areas. These 30 fantastic lectures are designed to provide students with an understanding of arithmetic and to prepare them for Algebra(代数) and beyond.

The lessons in Basic Math cover every basic aspect of arithmetic. They also look into exponents(指数), the order of operations, and square roots. In addition to learning how to perform various mathematical operations, students discover why these operations work, how a particular mathematical topic relates to other branches of mathematics, and how these operations can be used practically.

Basic Math starts from the relatively easier concepts and gradually moves on to the more troublesome ones, so as to allow for steady and sure understanding of the material by students. The lectures offer students the chance to “make sense” of mathematical knowledge that may have seemed so frightening. They also help students prepare for college mathematics and overcome their anxiety about this amazing—and completely understandable—field of study.

By the conclusion of the course, students will have improved their understanding of basic math. They will be able to clear away the mystery(神秘性) of mathematics and face their studies with more confidence than they ever imagined. In addition, they will strengthen their ability to accept new and exciting mathematical challenges.

Professor H. Siegel, honored by Kentucky Educational Television as “the best math teacher in America,” is a devoted teacher and has a gift for explaining mathematical concepts in ways that make them seem clear and obvious. From the basic concrete ideas to the more abstract problems, he is master in making math lectures learner-friendlier and less scary.

With a PhD in Mathematics Education from Georgia State University, Dr. Siegel teaches mathematics at Central Arizona College. His courses include various make-up classes and a number of lectures for future primary school teachers.

If the course fails to provide complete satisfaction to you, you can easily exchange it for any other course that we offer. Or you can get your money back.

56. What does the course Basic Math mainly cover?

A. Algebra. B. College Mathematics.

C. Arithmetic. D. Mathematics Education.

57. What benefits can students expect from Basic Math?

A. Stronger imaginative ability.

B. Additional presentation skills.

C. More mathematical confidence.

D. Greater chances of becoming teachers.

58. What can we learn about Professor H. Siegel?

A. He is a guest lecturer at Kentucky Educational Television.

B. He is to deliver 30 lectures in Basic Math.

C. He works in Georgia State University.

D. He specializes in training teachers.

59. Where is the passage most likely to have been taken from?

A. A news report. B. A book review

C. A lesson plan. D. An advertisement

（26分）材料一 2013年10月21日，北京市公布考试改革方案，“降低中高考英语分值、提高语文分值”等成为

第一节：单项填空

21

答案D

译文做志愿者工作可以给你机会去改变生命，也包括你自己的生命。

解析题干中已经有谓语动词gives，故A选项change动词谓语形式不能入选，只能选非谓语形式，而用来修饰chance的后置定语，doing表示正在，done表示被动，to

do表示未发生，根据句意，可以轻松选出D选项。

22

答案A

译文在关闭所有程序前不要关闭电脑，否则你可能会有麻烦。

解析考查连词，根据句意逻辑可以轻松选出or否则。

23

答案C

译文莎士比亚的剧本哈姆雷特在过年的几年中被拍成至少十部不同的影片。

解析over the past

years是现在完成时明显标志，考生可以直接入选。虽然翻译成“在过去的几年中”，但实际上还是指从过去截至到现在，也应该用现在完成时。

24

答案B

译文发现这个课程比较难，她决定转到更低的难度级别。

解析题干中已有decided谓语动词，故A选项find动词谓语形式不能入选；D选线found是done的形式，表被动，也不对；C选项to

find位于句首表目的，翻译成“为了”，意思不对，所以选B选项ing形式，表示伴随。

25

答案B

译文- 你认为妈妈和爸爸会晚吗？ - 不会的，瑞士航空一般比较准时。

解析根据句意可以轻松选出will，此题属于简单题。

26

答案C

译文我预约了Smith大夫，但是我现在需要改变一下预约。

解析have an appointment with与某人预约。

27

答案D

译文许多国家现在都正在建造国家公园，动物和植物在里面可以得到保护。

解析考查定语从句，从句完整且修改的是地点，故选where。

28

答案B

译文快点！Mark和Carl在等我们呢。

解析本题有较强的语境，Hurry up体现出别人正在等你，所以选B。其他选项均不恰当。

29

答案D

译文当我们看到公路被大学封着的时候，我们决定假期待在家里。

解析block意思为“封阻、拦阻”，及物动词，公路是被雪封阻了，所以只能D选项done的形式是被动，其他选项均为主动。

30

答案A

译文当时度假的时候我随身带了驾照，以防我要租车。

解析in case以防，even if即使，ever since自从那时，if

only如果…就好了，根据句意选A。

31

答案B

译文让这本书非比寻常的是作者具有创造力的想象力。

解析考查名词性从句，从句makes前缺少主语，故选what，本题目属于简单题。

32

答案C

译文- 那么程序是什么样的？ - （程序是）所有的申请者都被采访了当局才能做出最终决定。

解析考查时态语态，首先是被采访，所以只能选C和D，根据句意判断，没有“正在被采访”的意思，所以排除D，选C。记住：进行时表动作正在进行一般都很形象，上下文语境中通常有标志性词，如hurry

up、look、listen等，再者就是用进行来表示语气情感加强，如麦当劳的广告语“I’m loving it”，译为“我就喜欢”。

33

答案C

译文专家们认为人们可以通过只购买必要物品的方式来减少食物浪费。

解析考查宾语从句，从句完整意思完整，填that，该题目属于送分题。

34

答案D

译文如果我们当初早一些订桌，我们现在就不可能在这排队了。

解析考查虚拟语气。首先判断是虚拟，排除所有现在时态A和C，根据句意得知说的是过去的事情，所以选D过去完成时，本题简单，但对于完全不懂虚拟且不会翻译错综时间的同学也有一定难度。

35

答案A

译文- 你没必要带伞。不会下雨的。 - 哦，我不知道。有可能会下吧。

解析考查情态动词。might有可能、可能会，语气弱；need需要；would当时会，用于虚拟或过去将来时态；should应该或应该会，语气较强。通过语境和“I

don’t know”判断出语气较弱，故选might。

第二节：完形填空

36

答案C train

解析通过翻译，可以判断小女孩训练很刻苦，故选train训练。

37

答案A since

解析通过翻译，根据前后句意思可以判断出为因果逻辑，故选since表因为。

38

答案A tell

解析通过翻译，可知小女孩经常看重影或者无法判断物体的远近，而guess猜、assume假定、predict预测均无此意，tell可以表示辨别出、判断出、说出的意思，如It’s

hard to tell who is who 很难辨别出谁是谁。

39

答案D noticed

解析通过翻译，可知妈妈注意到小女孩胆量很大，无所畏惧，所以选noticed注意到。

40

答案B well

解析通过翻译，可知小女孩视力不好，无法很好的看东西，所以选well

41

答案B sport

解析体操本身属于运动，且下文重复出现过do the sport。

42

答案C different

解析通过翻译，可知对于小女孩来说，学习体操肯定和其他同学不一样，因为她的眼睛问题。而boring无聊、enjoyable享受、unsatisfactory不满意均意思不合理。

43

答案D condition

解析通过翻译，可知此处应该填小女孩的病症，talent才华、quality素质、nature天性都不合适，而condition可以有health

condition身体健康状况，所以选condition，且上文明确提过这个病是一个rare condition。

44

答案C challenge

解析通过翻译，可知对于小女孩最大的难处、最大的挑战就是平衡木。

45

答案D trust

解析通过翻译，可知小女好的意思是“你要相信你的直觉或你的心灵，它可以把你带到你想要去的地方”，且全文结尾的“just

believe yourself”也是很好的复现。

46

答案A fearful

解析通过翻译，可知想要成为顶级的体操选手，必须勇敢，大多数人可能最害怕的就是平衡木，因为平衡木只有四寸宽。根据brave可以推出fearful。

47

答案C off

解析通过翻译，可知小女好没有掉下来，而fall off意为“从…掉下来”。

48

答案B treated

解析通过翻译，可知小女孩不想自己因为眼睛不好的原因而得到区别于队友的不同对待。greet问候、served服务、paid付、花，意思均不符合。

49

答案D problems

解析通过翻译，可以裁判们不知道小女孩的视力有问题。pain痛苦、stress压力、injury身体受损，视力不能痛苦、不能压力，视力软性的看不见摸不着的东西，不是身体的部分，不能选injury，而problem可以泛指一般的所有的问题，所以选D。

50

答案A positive

解析通过翻译，可知全文体现的是小女孩积极的态度，所以选positive积极的。

51

答案B quitting

解析通过翻译，可知小女孩不想退出，她现在的水平是7，最高级别是10，而她的目标是9。所以选quit。

52

答案D goal

解析通过翻译，选goal目标，表示她想要达到的程度。

53

答案C when

解析通过翻译，可知小女孩想要在她长大的时候成为一名体操教练，把她的所学传授给其他孩子们。before在…之前、until直到，均意思不对，as可以表示“当”，但强调伴随，翻译成“随着”，后面往往跟进行时态，而句子意思是“当她长大的时候”，所以选when。

54

答案A proud

解析通过翻译，可以轻松选出proud of骄傲自豪。

55

答案B advice

解析通过翻译，可知小女孩给大家的建议就是“相信自己就好”，所以选advice。

第三部分：阅读理解

A 篇

56

答案：B

解析：为第二段主旨题。通过第二段第二句话可知所讨论话题为安全问题，故选B。

57

答案：A

解析：此题为细节题。考生需要定位选项当中的关键词，再与文中原句进行比较。A选项可通过Oxygen一词直接定位到文中第三段首句，即为正确答案。B选项为无中生有的选项，全文无对应。C定位sleepy

一词，在第三段第二句话，D定位children and pet 在第二段第二句话，均与文章意思相悖，故选A。

58

答案：D

解析：此题为词汇题。画线句为此段首句，后面的句子均在解释加热器的特点，由后文中的“wall to

wall”和“floor to ceiling”，以及直接介绍其他加热器的区别的信息，可知evenly 译为均匀的，故选D。

59

答案：A

解析：此题为主旨题。文章最后一句给出了明确的指示。

B篇

60

答案：C

解析：此题为细节题，考生需要直接定位到文章的具体情节。第二段当中的“Is she going to

make it” 应当译为“她能不能撑得住”，“她能不能活的下来”，故答案选C

61

答案：C

解析：此题为细节题，考生需要直接定位到文章的具体细节。第四段整段是对于给Grace安装尾巴的介绍。此题易混淆选项为B。不选B的原因是，安装尾巴的初衷并非是想让Grace舒服。安装尾巴的原因是因为没有了尾巴的Grace在游泳当中出现了困难，所以要安个尾巴去解决这个问题，使它变舒服只不过是附带的一个结果，故B不对。

62

答案：D

解析：此题为主旨题。记叙文主旨绝大多数出现在文章最后，本文也不例外。最后一句中的courage是本题的题眼。作者在最后告诉读者本文写作目的，即鼓励人们在逆境中要勇敢要有勇气，故答案为D.

C篇

63

答案：B

解析：此题为细节题。从文章首段重点“paparazzi”等词可以看出本文是一篇以明星隐私不能得到良好保护为主题的文章。本题中ACD三个选项都与这个大方向偏离甚远故不能选。

64

答案：B

解析：此题为主旨题。第三自然段的首句直接给出明确答案，此句译作跟踪明星的现象由来已久，故答案选B。

65

答案：A

解析：此题为细节题。做此题有两种可行方法。第一，由文章主旨可知，本文是关于明星和媒体关系的文章，准确讲是媒体对于明星生活的影响。故本题答案应与媒体产生关系，否则此题答案所在的段落便会跑题故选A。第二，相对传统的做法。通过四段首句可知答案在这一段当中出现，第二句的photographer的出现是A选项的直接对应。

66

答案：D

解析：此题为作者态度题。文章最开始和最后都有体现。最开始作者谈到狗仔队对于明星生活的影响，最后谈到明星们的种种无奈，故答案选D.

D篇

67

答案：D

解析：此题为细节题。本题是一道典型调查研究类文章考察实验结果的题目。D选项为一段尾句的同义改写，故正确。

68

答案：A

解析：此题为细节题。本题考查的是实验目的。考生可瞬间排除BCD两个选项因为他们和实验目的，multitask的能力毫无关系。调查研究类文章一切实验均会围绕实验假设展开，与之无关的选项可直接排除。

69

答案：C

解析：此题为细节题，考查实验结果。本题和67题考查思路一样，答案C选项和第一题中的D也有相似之处。准确出处在文章第四段，故选C。

70

答案：C

解析：此题为细节题，考查实验结果。最后一段当中的“people who are

multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky situation” 为正确答案出处，故选C。

七选五：

71

答案：E

解析：此题有两个暗示点。第一个是时间，上句话提到了5500年前有的城市，之后紧接着说200年之后是个简单的顺成的关系。第二个是but的轻微语义转折，but之后是的两句话都是在讲当时人的居住情况，故E为最佳选项。

72

答案：D

解析：此题有一个明确暗示点，为D选项当中的other和上句的Only the beginning.

Other 是明显承上启下的功能，后面的the process of证明了这一点，故选D

73

答案：B

解析：此题有一个明确的暗示点。The rest

和之前的3个数据是明显的并列关系，故答案选B。

74

答案：A

解析：此题A选项中有一个明确暗示点，THAT指代之前所说，故选A

75

答案：F

解析：此题有一个明确暗示点，modernization 是前后文当中past two

centuries 和后面today 的明确对应，故选F。

第四部分：书面表达

第一节：情景作文

2013年北京卷情景作文延续了之前的传统，仍然以四幅图的记叙文写作为出题点。在内容上，并没有超出五大主题，即“校园拓展类、好人好事类、社会公益类、旅游接待类、家庭生活类”的范围。图画内容比较简单，四幅图中并没有出现超纲或者生僻词汇。可以说，本次考题属于难度较低的考场作文。考生在写作时，重点关注两个细节即可：1.

本文的体裁是周记，所以整篇文章的主语是“我”，而不是“我们”；2.

周记要求在写作时，多出现心理活动描写和感情描写。主要能注意这两点，相信考生可以在考场上写出一篇不错的考场作文。

高分范文：

Last Monday, my father would be on a business trip

for five days. Having gotten my promise of being great at home and taking care

of my mother, he rest assured and put his luggage into the trunk of his car.

Seeing my father’s driving away, my mother and I waved our hands and said

goodbye to him. For a moment, I began to miss my father, wishing that he would

be safe and well the next days.

I thought everything would go well, as this was not

the first time that my father had been away for several days. Yet,

unfortunately, my mother caught a cold the next morning. Looking at her pale

face, I experienced high levels of anxiety. However, I told myself that I had to

calm down and look after my mum, as I promised to my dad. The moment I got my

mum to sleep, I put cold towel on her forehead, found pills in the medicine box,

and made some noodles for her. Luckily, she waked up and felt better, after

taking the pills and the noodles. That her fever was gone relieved and satisfied

me a lot.

In the next four days, I was taking her body

temperature twice a day, ensuring that she was completely well. To our delight,

my dad went back home safely and healthily on Saturday. On hearing what I had

done to my mum, he, as well as my mum, beamed at me and gave me a big thumb.

Hearing their praises and seeing bright smiles on their faces, I really felt

overjoyed and thrilled. Conceivably, taking care of my parents was, indeed and

definitely, my mission and obligation.

第二节：开放作文

2013年北京卷开放作文的难度与往年持平，图画比较简单，容易理解。通过“大鱼”和“小鱼”的对比，能看出来图画的立意应该与“理想”和“现实”有关。从描图的角度上来说，除了“鱼竿”这个单词在写作时稍微有点难度之外，其他的要素都是比较容易处理的。在写作时，请注意；两个个方面：

1. 由于在英文提示部分，要求的是先“理解图画”，所以写作时请考生在首段直接提出立意。

2.

开放作文在写作时，一定要有“带图议论”的环节。所以，虽然提示部分并不像往年的题目一样，明确出现“描图”两个字，但在首段提出立意之后，第二段还是要有描图的语言，否则会失分。

高分范文：

Hi, Jim, there is an interesting picture conveying a

message vividly that a difference between reality and dream may as well be

recognized in our life. Evidently, realizing this difference and trying to

shorten this gap is the key to achieving our accomplishment, otherwise nothing

will be gotten in the end.

In our daily life, some people are aware of their

ability, making great efforts to improve themselves, while others ignore the

disparity between their earnest wish and poorest actuality, doing nothing but

complaining. Conceivably, the confused man in the picture is exactly the latter

one. In this picture, a man is fishing on a big stone, waiting and waiting.

However, the small fish he has caught is totally different from the big one he

is longing for. Now, there are two options in front of him: face the reality and

keep trying till get the dreamy fish, or drop his fishing rod and feel

desperate. Apparently, he chooses the second one. Such a situation seems fairly

common in our society. We are faced with this kind of intriguing question all

the time, and every choice we make has great influence on our way to success.

Making an accurate estimate of our realities and dreams, then sparing no efforts

to approach the tip is the only option for us to make, provided that we are in

great want of achieving our goals.

Based on the above statement, a conclusion will be

arrived at that learning to accept the reality and adopting a positive attitude

towards the dream is what we are supposed to do, when confronting our
