浙江杭州重点高中2012高考命题比赛参赛试题18-英语

1、2012年高考模拟试卷英语试卷命题说明本人与2011届学生一起经历了高考备战，对2011年高考倾注了大量的精力，高度关注高考难度与题型设计的新变化。下半年，受学校教务处委托，为2012届高三学生拟一份第一学期期中试卷，为此，本人再次深入研究2011年高考试卷，本着高度的工作责任感，花了大量的时间和精力，认真命题，力求考试的信度和效度，保证试卷没有勘误。 2011年试卷整卷卷面词数超3000，对考生语用能力的要求较以往有较大提高。如单项选择题中，纯语法知识的考查题量大幅度减少，取而代之的是大量“完形填空式”的试题，要求考生在理解题干的基础上做出恰当的选择。这些都对考生的修辞知识、语境知识、对语法

2、（词法和句法）知识的灵活运用等综合语言运用能力提出了更高的要求。除了第1、17、20小题是交际题，第3、4、5、8、10等少数几题直接考查语法知识题外，绝大多数试题是根据上下文的语境、语义、修辞等进行解答，对语用能力的要求有所提高，尤其是词语辨析。2011年高考英语浙江卷完形填空部分原文节选于读者文摘（Reader's Digest)澳大利亚版，考题略有删节，并替换掉原文中超过高考范围的词汇，采取同义词替换的手段使原文表述通畅。所选文章延续历年出题模式，以记叙文为题材，选取作者在生命中不平凡的阶段受到陌生人帮助的事实，歌颂和赞扬人间真情和助人的美德。总词数332，侧重词语辨析。本卷29

3、82011年阅读理解虽然减少了一篇，但语篇平均长度明显增加，深度阅读理解的能力要求明显提高，因而阅读理解部分难度有所增。第一节中，所选语篇注重思想内涵和文化意识。A篇讨论了人与现代科技的关系。B篇是有关“查词典”的试题，旨在考查学生运用工具书获取信息和解决问题的能力。C篇阐述了顾客的满意度对企业发展的重要作用。D篇通过回顾儿时放风筝的经历，讲述了童年的美好回忆对成年生活的深刻影响。阅读篇章的词数统计Passage A 476 本卷417Passage B 约700（英英词典一页） 本卷309Passage C 528 本卷550Passage D 631 本卷 828任务型阅读 513 本卷

4、739本套试卷整卷卷面词数超3000，为避免网上找到或考前做过，真正体现公平性，90%题目属原创或改编。难度与题型设计、阅读理解篇幅长度紧扣高考要求。考后结果加上听力文科平均分95.3， 理科平均87.7，最高分文科125分， 理科127分，基本与本校2011年学生高考成绩持平。得分梯度明显，符合高考选拔性试卷要求，没有错题、偏题和怪题，达到命题预期，得到了高三师生的好评。2012年高考模拟试卷英语试卷本试卷分第一卷（选择题）和第二卷（非选择题）两部分，共120分，考试时间120分钟。 第卷 (共80分)第一部分：英语知识运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节:单项填空（共20小题；每小题0.5分，

43、题目原创）XI'AN - China's conservation work for the endangered crested ibis（朱鹮）is facing new challenges, including an increasing death rate due to inbreeding（同系繁殖）, and the conflict between the need to expand natural habitats and local communities' economic interests, bird experts have warned

44、.The crested ibis, once widespread in Japan, China, Russia and the Korean Peninsula, almost became extinct in the first half of the 20th century.Before 1981, when seven crested ibis were accidentally found in Yangxian county, in Northwest China's Shaanxi province, academics thought the species h

45、ad been extinct in China for almost 17 years.Due to the huge effort put into species protection since 1981, the number of crested ibis in China has risen to an estimated 1,617, including 997 in the wild, the State Forestry Administration said at a meeting on crested ibis protection in Xi'an on M

46、onday.However, although the ibis population exceeds 1,000, the birds are still not free from the threat of extinction, said Fang Shengguo, director of the State Conservation Center for Gene Resources of Endangered Wildlife at Zhejiang University.Ornithologists used inbreeding in the early stages of

47、protection so that numbers of the precious birds could increase quickly, but that method had consequences, Fang said."Studies have proved that as a result of inbreeding, crested ibis have the lowest genetic diversity of all endangered birds," Fang said. "It means a high death rate and

48、 more physical defects for hatched chicks." The government should collect genetic information from all crested ibis and establish a genetic database as soon as possible, then design a scientific mating plan for the species, Fang said.So far, about 90 percent of crested ibis live in Shaanxi prov

49、ince, and fewer than 140 ibis live in three zoos in other parts of the country, including Beijing Zoo, according to Liu Dongping, an assistant researcher at the National Bird Banding Center of China, which is affiliated to the Chinese Academy of Forestry.The bird has lost the ability to migrate, he

50、said, adding that if an unexpected natural disaster occurred in Shaanxi province or an infectious disease spread through the area, the ibis population could be greatly reduced.Experts also warned that the increased population of ibis, whether in the wild or in captivity, requires a larger and more v

51、aried natural habitat.Rampant hunting, the massive loss of habitat caused by deforestation and the overuse of pesticides, which killed aquatic(水生的) insects on which the ibis feed, are believed to be the main reasons for the sharp reduction in the ibis population before 1981.So, in 1983, a State-leve

52、l natural reserve was set up in Shaanxi province to protect the bird. But the struggle for living space between human and animal has never stopped, said Lu Baozhong, deputy director of the Shaanxi Crested Ibis Conservation Station."For example, ibis often look for loaches in farmers' rice f

53、ields. Sometimes their claws trample the rice seedlings. In another case, villagers discovered some land with abundant mineral resources which happened to be a habitat for ibis," said Lu, who has devoted 30 years to ibis protection.A long-term win-win solution for ibis and local communities nee
