2014年高考真题英语天津卷解析版

1、2014 年普通高等学校招生（卷）第一部分： 英语知识运用（共两节， 满分 45 分）第一节： 单项填空 （共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分）1.Give me a chance, Ill give you a wonderful surprise.A. ifB. or C. and D. while【考点】特殊句式和连词辨析【】C【】本题的是“祈使句+连词+陈述句”的特殊句式。该句型相当于：If 条件句，+主句；本句相当于：If you give me a chance, Ill give you a wonderful surprise.在变成条件句时，如果是一个肯定句，就使

2、用连词 and；如果成为一个否定句，就使用 or；如：Hurry up, or we will belate.相当于：If you dont hurry up, you will be late.句义：给我一个机会，我就会给你一个惊喜。故 C 正确。【试题延伸】本题中含有特殊句式：祈使句+连词+陈述句=If 引导的条件句+主句。这个句型进一步转换成：名词短语+连词+陈述句。如果原句中的连词是 and,那么可以转换成一个肯定的条件句；如果原句中的连词是 or，可以转换成一个否定的祈使句。【举一反三】and Ill get the work finished.A.Have one more hou

3、r B.One more hourC.Given one more hour D.If I have one more hourB考点本题考查 “祈使句+and+简单句”的用法,本题考查 “祈使句+and+简单句”的用法, 其中祈使句可转换成名词短语, 如 One moreword and Ill beat you flat.因此 B 项正确。如果选C, D 两项, 要去掉 and。2.Ok, Ill fix your computer right now. Oh, take your time. .A. I cant stand itB. Im in no hurryC.ts a great

4、 ideaD. Its not my cup of tea【考点】交际用语【】B【】本句的是交际用语。A 我受了；B 我不着急；C 好主意；D 非我所爱；句义：我现在就帮你修理你的电脑。哦，慢慢来，我不着急。本题的是 take yourtime=dont hrry。所以 B 项与之相符。3.Wind is now the worlds fastest growing ofer.A. sourceB. senseC. resultD.root【考点】连词名词词义辨析【】A【】本题的是名词词义辨析。Source 根源，来源，；sense 感觉，知觉；result结果；root 根，根源；原因，本质

5、；祖先；句义：风力是现在世界上增长速度最快的电力来源。根据句义可知 souce ofer 指电力来源。故 A 正确。【举一反三】Whats the of having a public open space where you cant eat, drink or evensimply hang out for a while?A. senseB. matterC. caseD. opinionA考点本题考查名词辨析。本题所设的语境是：有这样一个你在那里不能吃、不能喝甚至不能动的公共开放场所意义呢？A 项sense “感觉, 思考, 意义”；B 项matter “事件, 问题, 原因”；C 项

6、case “事,案例,容器”；D 项 opinion “意见, 看法, 主张”。Whats the sense of？“意义”四个选项中只能 A语境。4.you start eating in a healthier way, weight control wille much easier.A. unlessB. AlthoughC. BeforeD. Once【考点】状语从句连词辨析【】D【】unless 除非；如果不；although 尽管；before 在之前；once 一旦，曾经；句义：一旦你开始以一种健康的方式吃饭，控制体重就会变得更加容易。根据句义可知 once 表示“一旦”，引

7、导条件状语从句。故 D 正确。【举一反三】they decide which college to go to, students should research the admisprocedures.A. AsB. WhileC. UntilD. OnceD考点本题考查连词。此题重在句意的判断。 “一旦学生们决定了去哪所大学读书, 他们就得研究下办理入学续。”A. As 当；因为.B. while 做连词强调一件事发生时另外一个动作正在进行；C. Until直到.D. Once 一旦。因此选 D5. Anxiously, she took the dress out of the pack

8、age and tried it on, only it didnt fitA. to findB. foundC. findingD. having found【考点】非谓语动词用法【】A【】本题的是不定式做结果状语用法，在非谓语动词中，不定式常常和 only 连用，表示意料之外的结果。现在分词ng 常常表示意料之中的结果。句义：很着急，她把裙子从包装里拿了出来，结果却发现裙子不合适。她很着急地试穿裙子，但是裙子不合适。说明这是意料之外的结果，所以使用 A 项。【举一反三】Gee returned after the war, only t his wife had left him.A.

9、to be toldB.lingC. being toldD. told26.【】A【】此处only to do/be done表示意料之外的结果；现在分词作结果状语则表示自然的结果。这里Gee和 l之间是关系，因此用to be told。句意：后回到家，结果知妻子已经离开了。6. the school, the village has a clinic, which was also built withernment support.A. In reply toB. In addition toC. In charge ofD. In place of【考点】介词短语辨析【】B【】本题的四

10、个介词短语都很重要。In reply to 作为的回复；in addition to除之外（包括在内）；in charge of 负责；in place of 代替；句义：除了学校，村子里还有诊所，诊所也是在的支持下建成的。也就是说学校和诊所都是支持建设成功的。故 B 正确。7. Clearly and thoughtfully, the book inspires confidence in students who wish to seektheir own answers.A. writingB. to writeC. writtenD. being written【考点】非谓语动词用法

11、【】C【】本句的是非谓语动词做状语的用法。句中动词 write 与句子逐渐与 the book逻辑上的关系，所以使用过去分词表示。排除 AB 项，因为 AB 项都表示主动，D 项是现在分词的形式，表示动作正在被做。而本句的过去分词 written 表示和已经完成。句义：被写得很清楚很周到，这本书激励着那些追求自己生活中的的学生。故C 正确。【试题延伸】当分词做状语的时候，如果分词的动词与句子的主语主动关系，就使用现在分词做状语；当二者关系，使用过去分词做状语。如果分词的动作发生在谓语动词之前，就使用分词的完成式。如果分词与句子的主语没有关系，可以使用状语从句或者独立主格结构。【举一反三】 in

12、 1955, Disneyland in California is regarded by many as the riginal fun park.A. OpenedB. Having opened C. OpeningD. Being opened【】A【考点】考查非谓语动词。【】句意为“很多人认为 1955 年开业的加利福尼亚迪斯尼乐园非常有趣。”open 开业，与Disneyland 之间存在着关系；D 项Being opened 表正在进行，但开业的事实已经发生，故选 A。8. Life the like ocean; Only strong-willed can reach th

13、e other shore.A. an; theB. the; aC. the ;/D. / ; a【考点】冠词【】A【】本题第一空使用不定冠词 an 修饰 ocean 泛指一个海洋。第二空后的 strong-will 是一个形容词，在形容词前面加上定冠词 the 表示“一类人”或者“一类事物”。The strong-willed 指意志坚定的人。句义：生活就像是一个海洋，只有意志坚定的可以到达彼岸。故 A 正确。【举一反三】I earn 10 dollarshour assupermarket cashier on Saturdays.A.a;anB.the;aC.an;aD.an;theC

14、考点考查冠词的用法。hour 以元音开头, 前面加不定冠词an, an hour “每小时”；a 表示 “一个”, 放在supermarket cashier 前面表示类指, 说明属哪类人。译文：六我作为超市出纳员每小时挣10。a/an 的用则：以元音音素开头的单词前用 an, 以辅音音素开头的单词前用 a。9. My parents always great importance to my getting a good education.A. haveB. attachC. acceptD. pay【考点】动词词义辨析和固定搭配【】B【】本题的是动词固定搭配。Have 拥有；attach

15、 使附着；accept 接受；pay 付钱；B项固定搭配 attachsth to sth 把依附到之上； attach importance to 重视；句义：父母亲很重视让我得到良好的教育。根据句义说明 B 正确。10. How long have you been learning English?About four months. ! YourEnglish is so good.A. You cant be seriousB. You got itC. I couldnt agree moreD. Im stuck【考点】交际用语【】A【】本题的是交际用语。A 你不是认真的吧！B

16、你明白了。C 我非常同意；D 我被难住了。句义：你多长时间了？大约 4 个月。你不是认真的吧！你的英语太好了。根据句义说明 A 正确。11. We wont start the work until all the preparations .A. are being madeB. will be madeC. have been madeD. had been made【考点】时态【】C【】通常说来。在时间状语从句中使用一般现在时代替将来时，前面的主句中使用将来时。在高中英语中也使用现在完成时代替将来时，表示到将来某个时间已经完成的事情。句义：直到所有的准备工作都做好以后，才开始工作。故C

17、正确。12. English is a language shared by several diverse cultures, uses it differently.A. all of whichB. each of whichC. all of themD. each of them【考点】定语从句【】B【】本题是一个定语从句，先行词是 several diverse cultures，在定语从句里使用 which 指代先行词作为介词 of 的宾语。排除 CD 项，这两项并不是定语从句。A 项在定语从句中做主语的时候，谓语动词要使用复数形式，本题定语从句中的 uses 说明 A 项是错误

18、的。B 项中的 each做主语，谓语动词使用单数形式。句义：英语是一个被很多不同的文化共同使用的语言，每一种语言使用英语的方法都是不一样的。故 B 正确。【试题延伸】定语从句的考查主要就是考查关系词的辨析，关系代词t, which, whose, whom,as， who 在句中做主语，宾语，表语或者定语；where, why, when 在句中做状语。要分析句子成分，看缺少什么成分，就选用相应的关系词。【举一反三】It is reportedt two schools,are being builty hometown, willopen next year.A.they bothB.whi

19、ch bothC.both of themD.both of whichD考点此处考查定语从句 应用关系代词, 因此排除 A、C 两项；B 项中的 both 应置于 are 之后, 所以只有 D.13. The two countries are going to meet to some barriers to trade betn them.A. make upB. use upC. turn downD. break down【考点】动词短语辨析【】D【】动词短语 make up 化妆，编造，弥补，组成；use up 用完，耗尽；turn down，调低；break down 机器出故障

20、；身体垮掉；分解；划分（以便分析）；句义：这两个国家将要会谈来分解他们之间的贸易。根据句义说明D 项正确。【举一反三】You look upset. Whats the matter？ I had my proal again.Aturned overBturned onCturned offDturned down【】D【考点】考查短语动词的辨析。【】句意为“你看上去不高兴，怎么啦？建议又遭到了。”turn over 翻身，翻转，把移交；turn on 打开（水、电视、收音机、灯、煤气等），(使)感; (使)兴奋；turnoff 关掉（电器、水龙头等），使厌烦；turn down（音量等），

21、。根据句意选 D14. I think impresses me about his paing is the colours he uses.A. whatB.tC. whichD. who【考点】名词性从句【】A【】本题中的 I think 是一个语，可以省略。实际上本句中的 what impresses me 是一个主语从句，what 既是这个主语从句的引导词，也在句中做主语。句义：关于他的画我认为给我留下深刻印象的是他所使用的颜色。t 在名词性出中不充当成分，which 指特定范围之内的“哪一个”；who 通常都是指人。故 A 正确。【举一反三】 is known to us all

22、ist the 2008 Olympic Games will take place in Beijing.A.ItB.WhatC.AsD.WhichB考点考查主语从句。分析题干结构 “ is known to us all”是主语从句, 从句中缺少主语, what 引导主语从句, 在从句中作主语。如果选 it, 需去掉 all 后的 is;如果选 as;需去掉 ist。15. the morning train, he would nove been late for the meeting.A. Did he catchB. should be catchC. has he caughtD

23、. Had he caught【考点】省略和倒装以及虚拟语气【】D【】本题实际上是一个条件状语从句的虚拟语气，表示与过去事实相反。条件句中使用“过去完成式”，主句使用“情态动词+have done”；当条件句中的 if 省略的时候，要把 had 提前形成部分倒装。句义：如果他赶上了早班火车，他就不会开会了。故 D 正确。第二节： 完形填空（共 20 小题，每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）阅读下面短文， 掌握其大意， 然后从 16-35 各题所给 A,B,C,D 的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。One night, when I was eight , my mother gently aske
