Nothing could stop Dad.After he was put on disability for a bad back,he bought a small farm in the country,just enough to grow food for the family.He planted vegetables,fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.

And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin’s chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料).The smell really burned the inside of your nose.When we complained about the terrible smell,Dad said the stronger the manure,the healthier the crops,and he was right.For example,just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell,and the taste was even sweeter.

As the vegetables started coming in,Dad threw himself into cooking.One day,armed with a basket of vegetables,he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages,eggplants,potatoes,corns,onions and carrots.For about half an hour,the pressure built and the vegetables cooked.Finally,Dad turned off the stove,the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam.If we thought Dad’s pile of chicken manure was bad,this was 10 times worse.When Dad took off the lid,the smell nearly knocked us out.

Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house.Just how bad was it?The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!

Determined,Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around.It didn’t look that bad,and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell,it didn’t offend the nose so much either.I took a taste.It would never win a prize in a cooking competition,but it was surprisingly edible,and we drank up every last drop of soup.

34.Why did Dad clean Old Man McColgin’s chicken house regularly?

A.To earn some money for the family.

B.To collect manure for his crops.

C.To get rid of the terrible smell.

D.To set a good example to us.

35.What can we infer about Dad’s stew?

A.It is popular among the neighbors.

B.It contains honey and vegetables.

C.It looks very wonderful.

D.It tastes quite delicious.

36.What does the underlined word “offend” in the last paragraph mean?

A.To attract. B.To upset.

C.To air. D.To shut.

37.What can we learn about Dad from the text?

A.He is an experienced cook.

B.He is a troublesome father.

C.He has a positive attitude to life.

D.He suffers a lot from his disability.

Across Britain,burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers.But,according to a new study,we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year.

Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work.Now,the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours,they would earn as much as ￡172,000 a year.

The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do,as well as the hours they are working,to determine the figure.This would make their yearly income ￡30,000 more than the Prime Minister earns.

By analysing the numbers,it found the average mother works 119 hours a week,40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate and 79 hours as overtime.After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18,it found that,on most days,mums started their routine work at 7 am and finished at around 11 pm.

To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour,it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on,including housekeeper,part-time lawyer,personal trainer and entertainer.Being a part-time lawyer,at ￡48.98 an hour,would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum jobs”,with psychologist(心理学家) a close second.

It also asked mothers about the challenges they face,with 80 per cent making emotional(情感的) demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.

Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.

The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother’s Day.The emotional,physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending,but children are also sources of great joy and happiness.Investing(投入) in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.

38.How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister?

A.￡30,000. B.￡142,000.

C.￡172,000. D.￡202,000.

39.The biggest challenge for most mothers is from 　　　. 

A.emotional demand B.low pay for work

C.heavy workload D.lack of training

40.What is stressed in the last paragraph?

A.Mothers’ importance shows in family all year long.

B.The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.

C.Mothers’ devotion to children can hardly be calculated.

D.Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.

41.What can we conclude from the study?

A.Mothers’ working hours should be largely reduced.

B.Mothers should balance their time for work and rest.

C.Mothers’ labour is of a higher value than it is realised.

D.Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.

Their cheery song brightens many a winter’s day.But robins are in danger of wearing themselves out by singing too much.Robins are singing all night—as well as during the day,British-based researchers say.

David Dominoni,of Glasgow University,said that light from street lamps,takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds’ biological clocks,leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.

Dr Dominoni,who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns,said lack of sleep could put the birds’ health at risk.His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab,it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day.And the more birds are exposed to light,the more active they are at night.

He told people at a conference,“There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing.Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy.So by increasing their song output,there might be some costs of energy.”

And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light.Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal.Dr Dominoni said,“In Glasgow where I live,gulls are a serious problem.I have people coming to me saying ‘You are the bird expert.Can you help us kill these gulls?’.During the breeding(繁殖)season,between April and June,they are very active at night and very noisy and people can’t sleep.”

Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution,other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise.

However,some birds thrive(兴旺) in noisy environments.A study from California Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery.It is thought that they are capitalising on their predators(天敌)fleeing to quieter areas.

42.According to Dr Dominoni’s study,what causes robins to sing so much?

A.The breeding season.

B.The light in modern life.

C.The dangerous environment.

D.The noise from heavy machinery.

43.What is the researchers’ concern over the increase of birds’ song output?

A.The environment might be polluted.

B.The birds’ health might be damaged.

C.The industry cost might be increased.

D.The people’s hearing might be affected.

44.What does the underlined word “nocturnal” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A.Active at night.

B.Inactive at night.

C.Active during the day.

D.Inactive during the day.

45.Why do some birds thrive in noisy environments?

A.Because there are fewer dangers.

B.Because there is more food to eat.

C.Because there is less light pollution

D.Because there are more places to take shelter.

No one is sure how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids near Cairo.But a new study suggests they used a little rock ‘n’ roll.Long-ago builders could have attached wooden poles to the stones and rolled them across the sand,the scientists say.

“Technically,I think what they’re proposing is possible,” physicist Daniel Bonn said.

People have long puzzled over how the Egyptians moved such huge rocks.And there’s no obvious answer.On average,each of the two million big stones weighed about as much as a large pickup truck.The Egyptians somehow moved the stone blocks to the pyramid site from about one kilometer away.

The most popular view is that Egyptian workers slid the blocks along smooth paths.Many scientists suspect workers first would have put the blocks on sleds(滑板).Then they would have dragged them along paths.To make the work easier,workers may have lubricated the paths either with wet clay or with the fat from cattle.Bonn has now tested this idea by building small sleds and dragging heavy objects over sand. 

Evidence from the sand supports this idea.Researchers found small amounts of fat,as well as a large amount of stone and the remains of paths.

However,physicist Joseph West thinks there might have been a simpler way,who led the new study.West said,“I was inspired while watching a television program showing how sleds might have helped with pyramid construction.I thought,‘Why don’t they just try rolling the things?’”A square could be turned into a rough sort of wheel by attaching wooden poles to its sides,he realized.That,he notes,should make a block of stone “a lot easier to roll than a square”.

So he tried it.

He and his students tied some poles to each of four sides of a 30-kilogram stone block.That action turned the block into somewhat a wheel.Then they placed the block on the ground.

They wrapped one end of a rope around the block and pulled.The researchers found they could easily roll the block along different kinds of paths.They calculated that rolling the block required about as much force as moving it along a slippery(滑的)path.

West hasn’t tested his idea on larger blocks,but he thinks rolling has clear advantages over sliding.At least,workers wouldn’t have needed to carry cattle fat or water to smooth the paths.

46.It’s widely believed that the stone blocks were moved to the pyramid site by 　　　. 

A.rolling them on roads

B.pushing them over the sand

C.sliding them on smooth paths

D.dragging them on some poles

47.The underlined part “lubricated the paths” in Paragraph 4 means　　　. 

A.made the paths wet

B.made the paths hard

C.made the paths wide

D.made the paths slippery

48.What does the underlined word “it”in Paragraph 7 refer to?

A.Rolling the blocks with poles attached.

B.Rolling the blocks on wooden wheels.

C.Rolling poles to move the blocks.

D.Rolling the blocks with fat.

49.Why is rolling better than sliding according to West?

A.Because more force is needed for sliding.

B.Because rolling work can be done by fewer cattle.

C.Because sliding on smooth roads is more dangerous.

D.Because less preparation on paths is needed for rolling.

50.What is the text mainly about?

A.An experiment on ways of moving blocks to the pyramid site.

B.An application of the method of moving blocks to the pyramid site.

C.An argument about different methods of moving blocks to the pyramid site.

D.An introduction to a possible new way of moving blocks to the pyramid site.

It was a hot summer day that found me running down the street with a dollar in my sweaty hand.The closer I got to Sam & Joe’s Stationery Store,the more excited I was.After all,a dollar was a tidy sum for an 11-year-old boy in 1961.

Out of breath,I swung open the door and got a blast of cold air that instantly cooled me off.I was in a place of pure happiness.Sam & Joe’s had it all—books,candy,toys,baseball cards,puzzles and games.I went directly to the bar and ordered a bottle of soda.There I sat,considering my next move.

Books always came first.I picked out five titles.Next came the candy,rows and rows of it.I chose five candy bars,which brought my total to 75 cents.Then a bottle of cold orange juice,a bag of chips and a pack of Ted Williams baseball cards.After paying the clerk,I still had 5 cents.

I hurried directly to my backyard,where an apple tree patiently waited for me.There,sitting in the shade against its strong trunk,I read my books,ate my candy and drank my orange juice.

As I sat in my own personal heaven,I started thinking about having more.That’s when a fantastic,life-changing idea popped into my head:If I could get more money,I could buy more books I liked,buy anything I wanted.That’s how it all started.

详解详析

2015高考四川英语卷答案详解

1.C　考查情景交际。A项No way“没门,不可能”;B项Take your time“(时间上)不用紧张”;C项Nothing serious“不要紧,没什么大不了的”;D项You’re welcome“不客气,不用谢”。因为上一句表达的是歉意(Sorry),所以C项符合题意。句意:——对不起,我忘了锁门了。——不要紧,过会儿迈克会锁的。

2.A　考查情态动词。根据It costs(它很贵)推断,上一句应该是要求对方“一定要”小心使用照相机,带有命令的语气,故选A项must,意为“务必,必须,一定要”。B、C、D三项都不表示要求和命令的语气。句意:你一定要小心使用照相机。它很贵的!

3.C　考查非限制性定语从句。分析句子结构可知,定语从句的引导词在从句中作定语,修饰covers,意为“……的”,故选C项whose。whose covers也可以表示为the covers of which或of which the covers。句意:桌子上的这些书是给我们的奖品,它们的封面很亮。

4.B　考查时态。根据时间状语soon可以判断,句子用将来时,高速公路和建造之间是动宾关系,所以用被动形式,故选B项。句意:为了促进当地经济,四川不久将建造更多的高速公路。

5.A　考查冠词。在人名前一般不加冠词,但该句中的Beethoven不再是指贝多芬本人的专有名词,而是变为一个普通名词,指像贝多芬那样的音乐大师,所以其前用不定冠词a,表示“一个……的人”。句意:布赖恩在音乐创作上很有天赋,他很有可能会成为一位像贝多芬那样的音乐大师。

6.D　考查状语从句的引导词。根据主句中的to go(还剩下)判断,There is only one more day指的是从现在算起截止到将来的时间(your favorite music group play live)之前,所以应该用before 引导时间状语从句。句意:在你最喜欢的音乐组合现场演奏之前仅剩一天的时间了。

7.D　考查形容词的最高级。从he has ever got来判断,比较的范畴是三个或三个以上,所以应该用形容词的最高级,并且形容词的最高级前用定冠词the,故选D项。句意:安迪对这个玩具很满意。它是他曾经收到的最好的玩具了。

8.B　考查宾语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知,tell 后面的宾语从句不缺主语、宾语或表语,所以引导词不用连接代词,排除C、D两项。根据句意,应选B项why,表示我们应该为防止空气污染做点事的原因。句意:这次展览告诉我们,为什么我们应该为防止空气污染而做点事。

9.C　考查形容词作状语。句中的watching...为现在分词短语作伴随状语,而空白处需要的也是状语,表示小汤姆坐着看猴子跳舞时的状态,因为强调人的自身感受,故用amazed作方式状语,意为“惊讶的,惊奇的”。amazing表示给别人造成的感受,意为“令人惊奇的”,不合句意。句意:小汤姆惊奇地坐着,看他面前的猴子跳舞。

10.D　考查不定代词。因为前面提到了描述的对象ideas,后面指的是在数量上“一个也没有”,故用none。nothing指物,no one 指人或物,二者都表示叙述的对象,none指人或物,表示数量。句意:尼克总是有很多主意,但就我所知,没有一个是有用的。

【语篇导读】本文为记叙文。我以前的家后面有一片树林,里面有许多小动物。因为我经常给它们喂食,它们对我逐渐没有了畏惧感。我也利用小动物们进食的时候拍下了它们的照片……

11.B　从前面的That first year 来看,“我”“开始”给小动物们喂食了。故选started。aviod“避免”;cancel“取消”;suggest“建议”。

12.C　have no problem (in) doing sth. 为固定搭配,意为“做……没问题/困难”。privilege“特权”。

13.C　看到“我”喂蓝松鸦和松鼠,兔子发现“我”对它们构不成“威胁”,所以也就不逃走了。故选threat “威胁”。help “帮助”;cheat“欺骗”;exception“例外”。

14.A　根据上一句中的came for a nibble(啃)和空后的they were eating out of my hand可以判断,兔子对“我”越来越“信任”了,所以选trust。miss“错过,想念”;admire“羡慕,钦佩”;appreciate“感激,欣赏”。

15.D　从空后的one would even sit up for slices可知,兔子记得“我”,一只兔子甚至坐起来要(胡萝卜)薄片。故选remembered“记住”。fear“害怕”;ignore“不顾,不理睬”;discover“发现”。

16.C　原来一直跑掉的土拨鼠现在对这种喂食情形逐渐地产生了兴趣,这件事是“我”给兔子喂食的时候“注意到”的。故选noticed。prove“证明”;decide“决定”;understand“理解”。

17.B　这只土拨鼠从used to run away到sitting next to a rabbit,both munching(津津有味地咀嚼) on carrots,它对这种喂食情形“逐渐”地产生了兴趣,所以选increasing。extreme“极其的”;increasing“不断增加的”;additional“附加的,另外的”;inspiring“鼓舞人心的”。

18.D　从后面的both munching on carrots判断,“我”拿给兔子吃的是胡萝卜(carrot)。

19.A　在“我”的诱引下,“不久以后”有好几次土拨鼠与兔子一起津津有味地咀嚼胡萝卜。before long “不久以后”;long ago“很久以前”;over and over“反复”;all over again“(从头)再一次”。故选A项。

20.A　因为和“我”熟悉了,几个月后,这只土拨鼠“吃”胡萝卜时甚至把背转向“我”。

21.B　有一次,土拨鼠转过脸去时,“我”伸手给它挠后背。所以用once,表示“有一次”。lately“最近”。

22.A　因为该处副词修饰的是scratched(搔) her back,所以carefully符合句意。carefully “细心地”;suddenly“忽然”;violently“剧烈地”;patiently“耐心地”。

23.D　到了第三年(By year three),“我”给这只土拨鼠挠背时,“仍然”(像以前一样)没有任何问题。“我”因此产生了一个想法。故选still。

24.A　从上一句的“I got an idea”可知,该空的意思应是“认为,觉得”,故选thought。doubt“怀疑”;admit“承认”;recognise“认出,识别”。

25.C　“因此”有一天,“我”想看看它的反应。

26.B　根据常识,“我”应该是把酷似帽子的胡萝卜头“放到”这只土拨鼠的头上。故选place“放置”。fix“安装,固定”。

27.B　从下句中的“...I had my camera ready to record...”判断,这只土拨鼠没有“动”,故选move。tremble“颤抖”;delay“耽误”;hesitation“犹豫”。

28.D　分析该句的逻辑关系,该处应该是主句(she never 　29　 the one on her head)的前提和条件,故用so long as引导条件状语从句。even if“即使”;ever since“从此以后”;as far as “远至,跟……一样远”;so long as“只要”。 

29.C　只要有胡萝卜片吃,它就不去“烦心”头上的东西了。所以选bothered。welcome“欢迎”;require“要求”;expect“预期,盼望”。

32.A　细节理解题。 从“ALICE IS TURNING 2!”可以看出,这次聚会是为庆祝艾丽斯的两周岁生日举办的。故选A项。

33.D　推理判断题。从开头的“The bees have been busy.”和最后的“Regrets to the Queen Bee at 601-555-4111”可以推断,这个家庭自称为“蜜蜂家庭”,所以Queen Bee指的就是妈妈,即不能参加聚会的请给妈妈打电话。故选D项。

【语篇导读】本文为记叙文。背部残疾的父亲在农村买了一个农场,为家人种植蔬菜和水果,还养蜂。爸爸通过给别人打扫鸡舍获得粪肥,虽然臭味难闻但保证了蔬菜的无公害。蔬菜成熟了,爸爸炖了蔬菜大杂烩,出锅后的菜味道难闻,但爸爸坚持让我们吃。鉴于蔬菜绿色无公害,我们吃的汤水不剩。

36.B　词义猜测题。由第三段中的“When Dad took off the lid,the smell nearly knocked us out.”可知炖菜的气味很难闻,即让鼻子很不舒服。所以the first wave had shut down my ability to smell,这时候嗅觉已经不那么灵敏了,所以就不会让鼻子不舒服了。故选B项。

37.C　推理判断题。从文中的三个例子可以看出父亲是一个对待生活乐观积极的人。身体残疾却买下农场亲自种植果蔬,通过给别人打扫鸡舍获得粪肥,炖菜味道难闻,却坚持让我们吃,因为它绿色无公害。故选C项。

Hi,Janice,

It’s been a month since I came to this new school and I really want  share with you some of the problems I have been experiencing. 

As I tell you last time,I made three new friend here. We hang out together during lunch and after school. We’ve been spending a lot of time sing in karaoke bars. It’s been three Saturdays now and it really costs me many. And I started to see this as a time-wasting activity!In fact,I don’t like to go anymore,so I’m afraid I’ll lose their friendship. How do you think I should do? If you are me,would you talk tohim?

Please help 

with

 me and give me some advice.

Hi,Sharon,

This is Li Xia. I learned from your post that you want to improve your Mandarin.It so happens that I need to have my English improved. I’d like to help you with your Mandarin,and I believe I can do a good job,since I have been living in Beijing since I was born,and as a consequence,I can speak Mandarin fluently with attractive pronunciation.What’s more,I have a gift for getting my ideas across.  

To make sure you achieve more,I have two suggestions for you.

Most importantly,make use of every possible chance to practice speaking Mandarin and don’t be afraid of making mistakes.In addition,read as many books in Chinese in your spare time as possible to experience the rich Chinese culture.

I hope you spend more time talking with me in English,because what I most want to do is improve my spoken English.

Hope we can enjoy our sharing and make it.

Looking forward to your reply.

Li Xia
