【试题总评】

2014年湖南高考英语试题的试卷结构与以往一致，试题在选材和命制等方面沿袭了历年来命题风格。试题总体难度适中，在考查考生英语语言知识和语言技能的基础上，突出考查语言运用能力，尤其是运用英语获取信息、处理信息以及分析问题、解决问题的能力。强调语篇意识。注重语言的实用性、交际性、人文性、时代性和思想性，重视对考生文化意识、情感态度等综合人文素养的考查。

单项选择题测试要点全部是常见的基本语法知识。分别考查：非谓语动词（21、23、27、35题）、虚拟语气（22题）、名词性从句（24题）、连词（26题）、时态语态（28、34题）、情态动词（25题）、倒装结构（29题）、强调结构（33题）、主谓一致（32题)。整体侧重对动词的考查力度，没有偏题和难题。

完形填空I的体裁是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了在上大学的前夕，妈妈教他烫衣服的故事。语篇中的语义连贯性与逻辑关系是考查的重点。考查的词全部为实词，考查名词题目4道，动词题目4道，形容词副词题目4道。值得注意的是42和47题均考查动词短语，这是往年比较少见的。

完形填空II的体裁为说明文，作者就处理好与邻里的关系提出了一些建议。此题考查“虚词”的意图十分明显，并增加了对连词的考查。

阅读理解体裁多样，涉及应用文、记叙文和说明文，文体话题涉及写作培训，上学经历和能源节约等。文章总体难易适中，侧重考查细节理解，注重考查学生获取和处理主要信息的能力。

阅读填空题文体为说明文，图表结构是总分框架结构。难度为中等。内容上主要介绍了快乐度假的好处、度假规划时常犯的错误及快乐度假时的黄金规则等信息。

阅读简答题为记叙文。讲述了一位少年为保护湿地和孩子们的游乐空间所做出的努力。难度属于较易难度，四个题目全部考查细节。

书面表达题目要求考生以“My Magic______”为题写一篇英语短文，介绍自己的一个创意。命题新颖且贴近学生生活，学生不但要具备英语语言表达能力，而且还要具备一定的科技创新能力。

B

In the mid-1950s, I was a somewhat bored early-adolescent male student who believed that doing any more than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassment.

In Mrs. Totten’s eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).[来源:https://www.sodocs.net/doc/8619158426.html,]

Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.

Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.

Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.

What I failed to expect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the be ginning of the class，I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldn’t function.

When Mrs. Totten reached my desk，she asked what answer I’d got for problem No. 14. “I…I didn’t get anything,”I answered，and my face felt warm.

“Correct,” she said.

It turned out that the correct answer was zero.

What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isn’t always what you say but how you say it that matters. Third，I would never make it as a mathematician.

If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.

61. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?

A. It is wise to value one’s time.

B. It is important to make an effort

C. It is right to stick to one’s belief.

D. It is enough to do the necessary.

62. Usually, Mrs. Totten asked her stu dents to _______.

A. recite their homework together

B. grade their homework themselves

C. answer their homework questions orally

D. check the answers to their homework questions

63. The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always _______.

A. asked questions in a regular way

B. walked up and down when asking questions

C. chose two or three questions for the students

D. requested her students to finish their usual questions

64. The author failed to get the questions he had expected because _______.

A. the class didn’t begin as usual

B. several students didn’t come to school

C. he didn’t try hard to make his estimate

D. Mrs. Totten didn’t start from the back of the class

The behaviour of a building’s users may be at least as important as its design when it comes to energy use, according to new research from the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC). The UK promises to reduce its carbon emissions (排放）by 80 percent by 2050, part of which will be achieved by all new homes being zero-carbon by 2016. But this report shows that sustainable building design on its own — though extremely important- is not enough to achieve such reductions: the behaviour of the people using the building has to change too.

The study suggests that the ways that people use and live in their homes have been la r gely ignored by existing efforts to improve energy efficiency (效率)，which instead focus on architectural and technological developments.

‘Technology is going to assist but it is not going to do everything,’explains Katy Janda, a UKERC senior researcher，‘consumption patterns of building users can defeat the most careful design. ’In other words，old habits die hard, even in the best-designed eco-home.

Another part of the problem is information. Households and bill-payers don’t have the knowledge they need to change their energy-use habits. Without specific information，it’s hard to estimate the costs and benefits of making different choices. Feedback (反馈）facilities, like smart meters and energy monitors，could help bridge this information gap by helping people see how changing their behaviour directly affects their energy use; some studies have shown that households can achieve up to 15 percent energy savings using smart meters.

Social science research has added a further dimension (方面），suggesting that individuals’behaviour in the home can be personal and cannot be predicted 一whether people throw open their windows rather than turn down the thermostat (恒温器) , for example.

Janda argues that education is the key. She calls for a focused programme to teach people about buildings and their own behaviour in them.

66. As to energy use, the new research from UKERC stresses the importance of________.

A. zero-carbon homes

D. the reduction of carbon emissions

67. The underlined word “which” in Paragr aph 2 refers to”________.”

A. The importance of changing building users, habits.

B. The necessity of making a careful building design.

C. The variety of consum ption patterns of building users.

D. The role of technology in improving energy efficiency.69. The information gap in energy use_______.

A. can be bridged by feedback facilities

B. affects the study on energy monitors

C. brings about problems for smart meters

D. will be caused by building users’ old habits

70. What does the dimension added by social science research suggest?

A. The social science research is to be furthered.[来源:https://www.sodocs.net/doc/8619158426.html,]

B. The education programme is under discussion.

C. The behaviour of building users is unpredictable.

D. The behaviour preference of building users is similar.

Section A (10 marks)

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

Many of us invest valuable time，energy and money planning our vacations. We do this because we know for sure that going on vacations must be good for us. Research proves this feeling without a doubt. Vacations help us perform better at work, improve our sleep quality and cushion us against depression.

Yet, despite these benefits, many of us return home with a feeling that our last vacation was OK - but not great. In order to change this, some mistakes should be avoided. A classic one for vacation planners is attempting to maximize value for money by planning trips that have too many components (组成部分)• Perhaps you’re planning a trip to Europe, seven cities in 10 days，and you realize it will cost only a little more to add two more destinations to the list Sounds fine in theory, but hopping from one place to the next hardly gives an opportunity to experience what psychologists call mindfulness - time to take in our new surroundings, time to be present and absorb our travel experiences. Another mistake is that we worry too much about strategic issues such as how to find a good flight deal，how to get from A to B，or which destinations to add or subtract from our journey. These issues may seem important, but our psychological state of mind is far more important.

Actually, vacation happiness is based on the following top rules. First, choose your travel companions wisely,

【解析】句意为：只有在父母的陪同下孩子们才能进人体育场。主语“Children”和accompany之间是逻辑上的被动关系，故用过去分词形式。此处也可看作是状语从句的省略，补充完整为：when children are accompanied。故D项正确。 【知识拓展】状语从句的省略，即当主从句的主语一致，且从句中含有系动词be的时候，从句中的系动词和主语可以省略。 【考点】非谓语动词 22.【答案】B 【解析】句意为：如果Dewey先生当时在场的话，他会给那里的人提供任何可能的帮助。根据主句中的“he would have offered”可知，逗号前是对过去情况的虚拟，故从句应用过去完成时。故B项正确。 【考点】虚拟语气 23.【答案】A 【解析】句意为：了解你自己的内心需要和交流的方式与学会表达自己的感情和情感一样重要。分析句子成分可知，句中的“your own needs and styles of communication”是主语，且谓语动词“is”为单数形式，应用动名词短语作主语；understand与句子主语之间是主动关系，所以应用主动语态。故A项正确。B项为不定式的被动式，不符合语境。 【考点】非谓语动词 24【答案】C 【解析】句意为：正如John Lennon曾经说过的那样，当我们正在为生活疲于奔波时，生活已离我们远去。分析句子成分可知，“appends to you while you are busy making other plans”是表语从句，从句中缺少主语。故用what引导。故C项正确。 【知识拓展】在名词性从句中，从句中缺少主语、宾语和表语都用what引导。 【考点】名词性从句 25.【答案】D 【解析】句意为：我已经为这次野餐准备了各种各样的食物。你的意思是我们没有必要带任何东西了吗？根据语境可知，此处强调的是没有必要。故用needn't。故D项正确。 【题眼】上句中的“all kinds of food”是解题的关键，正因为带了所有种类的食物，下句才问是否有必要再带东西。 【考点】情态动词辨析 26.【答案】D 【解析】句意为：除非你全身心地投入到工作中去，否则你永都不会获得成功的。根据语境可知，此处用unless引导条件状语从句，意为“除非，如果不”。故D项正确。

2014年高考英语试题单项选择解析(湖南卷)

2014年高考英语试题单项选择解析（湖南卷） 21.Children，when ______ by their parents, are allowed to enter the stadium. A. to be accompanied B. to accompany C. accompanying D. accompanied 【答案】D 【解析】考查状语从句和省略。句意：孩子们在有父母亲陪伴的时候才被允许进入体育馆。当状语从句的主语和主句主语一致且含有be动词的时候，可以把状语从句的主语和be动词一起省略；根据语境，状语从句可还原为：when they are accompanied by their parents，所以空格处用过去分词。故D正确。 【语言学习】as/before/till/once/when/while等引导的时间状语从句、though/although等引导的让步状语从句、if/unless等引导的条件状语从句、as/as if/, as though等引导的方式状语从句中以及as/than等引导的比较状语从句中的主语和主句的主语一致，或状语从句中的主语是it，并且又含有be动词时，常可以省略从句中的主语和be动词。 22. If Mr. Dewey ______ present, he would have offered any possible assistance to the people there. A. were B. had been G. should be D. was 【答案】B 【解析】考查虚拟语气。句意：如果Mr. Dewey在场，他会向那里的人提供任何帮助。与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，条件状语从句要用“had done”，主句要使用“情态动词+have done”。根据主语的谓语动词形式可知，题干表示与过去的事实相反，所以从句谓语动词用had+过去分词。故B正确。 【语言学习】1. 表示与现在事实相反的情况，条件状语从句中的谓语用过去时(Be动词用were)，主句中的谓语用should/would/could/might + 动词原形； 2. 表示与过去事实相反的情况，条件状语从句中的谓语用过去完成时，主句中的谓语用should/would/could/might + have done； 3. 表示对将来情况的主观推测，条件状语从句中的谓语用were to do，should +动词原形或用动词的过去式(Be动词用were)，主句中的谓语用should/would/could/might +动词原形。 23. ______ your own needs and styles of communication is as important as learning to convey your affection and emotions. A. Understanding B. To be understood C. Being understood D. Having understood 【答案】A 【解析】考查非谓语动词。句意：理解你自己的需要和交流方式与学会表达你的爱和情感一样重要。动词作主语时用动名词，语境陈述一个客观事实，所以用动名词的一般式。动名词的被动式表示一个被动的动作；动名词的完成式，表示一个已经完成的动作，这都不符合语境。故A正确。 24. As John Lennon once said，life is______ happens to you while you are busy making other plans. A. which B. that C. what D. where 【答案】C 【解析】考查名词性从句。句意：正如约翰·列侬曾经说过，生活就是在你忙着做其他计划的时候发生的事。言外之意是讲，人生并不会常常按照我们的计划而行，而是要求我们接受意料之外的事情。生活不容易被人们察觉，如时光一样，很容易被忽视。然而，却又无时无刻不发生在身边。句子结构表明表语从句中缺少主语，及意义“什么”，所以用what引导表语从句，what在句中做主语。而Which表示“哪一个”，一般用于从已知或有限范围内的人

Let us take a 36 , reasonable look at what the results might be if such a(an) 37 were accepted; families might use the time for a real family hour. Without the distraction(困扰) of TV, they might 38 together after dinner and actually talk to one another. It is well known that many of our 39 —everything in fact, from the generation gap to the high divorce rate to some forms of 40 illness —are caused at least in part by 41 to communicate. By using the quiet family hour to 42 our problems, we might get to know each other better, and to like each other better. On evenings when such talk is 43 , families could discover more active pastimes(消遣，娱乐). Freed from TV, forced to find their own activities, they might take a 44 together to watch the sunset 45 they might take a walk together. 46 free time and no TV, children and adults might discover reading. There is more entertainment in 47 than in a TV program. 48 report that the generation growing up with television can hardly write an English sentence, 49 at the college level. 50 is often learned from reading.

And when you‟re doing your holiday shopping online, make sure you‟re holding a large glass of iced tea. The physical sensation (感觉) of warmth encourages emotional warmth, while a cold drink in hand prevents you from making unwise decisions —those are the practical lesson being drawn from recent research by psychologist John A. Bargh. Psychologists have known that one person‟ s perception (感知) of another‟ s “warmth” is a powerful determiner in social relationships. Judging someone to be either “warm” or “cold”is a primary consideration, even trumping evidence that a “cold” person may be more capable. Much of this is rooted in very early childhood experiences, Bargh argues, when babies‟ conceptual sense of the world around them is shaped by physical sensations, particularly warmth and coldness.Classic studics by Harry Harlow, published in 1958, showed monkeys preferred to stay close to a cloth “mother” rather than one made of wire, even when the wire “mother” carried a food bottle. Harlo w‟s work and later studies have led psychologists to stress the need for warm physical contact from caregivers to help young children grow into healthy adults with normal social skills. Feelings of “warmth” and “coldness” in social judgments
