(III)考查阅读理解

Silence is unnatural to man. He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness. In between he does all he can to make a noise in the world, and he fears silence more than anything else. Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence. If he is introduced to another person, and a number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards himself as a failure, a worthless person, and is full of envy of the emptiest-headed chatterbox (喋喋不休的人). He knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure (蜡塑人像).

The aim of conversation is not, for the most part, to communicate ideas; it is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz; there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito (蚊子). But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person. Most buzzing, fortunately, is pleasant to the ear, and some of it is pleasant even to the mind. He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors.

Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people’s ears, though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel. At the end of an evening during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time, they just prove themselves to be successful conversationists.

1.According to the author, people make conversation to ____.
A. exchange ideas
B. prove their value
C. achieve success in life
D. overcome their fear of silence

2.By “the buzzing of a fly” (Para.1), the author means “___”.
A. the noise of an insect
B. a low whispering sound
C. meaningless talks
D. the voice of a chatterbox

3. According to the passage, people usually talk to their neighbors ______.
A. about whatever they have prepared
B. about whatever they want to
C.in the hope of learning something new
D. in the hope of getting on well

4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A.To discuss why people like talking about weather.
B.To encourage people to join in conversations.
C.To persuade people to stop making noises.
D.To explain why people keep talking.

【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B 4. D

名师解读
今年高考英语有两大变化
与2007年相比,湖北省2008年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试大纲补充说明英语科有两大变化——新增230余个单词以及突出能力立意。

英语考纲补充说明今年有“两变”
最大的变化体现在词汇表上,今年,词汇表上增加了230个单词。按照高中英语课程改革的发展方向,结合湖北省高中英语的教学实际(考虑到《普通高中英语课程标准(实验)》词汇表所列词汇及其在教材中的复现率),我省今年针对《2007年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试大纲补充说明》所附词表进行了补充调整,共收单词2830多个,另含6个附录。而2007年共收单词2600多个。湖北英语的发展在全国领先,今年增补词汇230个,下一步在指导复习时,应引起老师及考生的重视。
第二个变化体现在命题指导思想的提出上,与2007年考试大纲的补充说明相比,首次提出“命题注重基础考查,突出能力立意,着力内容创新。要结合我省教学实际,有利于推动高中新课程改革,考查考生进入高等学校继续学习的潜能。”
基础、能力相结合 内容有创新
从上面的两点变化来看,考生应该重视针对基础部分的考查试题。出题时会突出“能力立意”,着力内容创新。所谓突出“能力立意”,主要是指突出对语境的考查,基础知识的灵活运用,在不同的语言环境中,考查基础知识的运用能力。同样考查某一个知识点,在语境方面可能会有创新。
今年补充说明中新增了230个单词,相应的,阅读量、词汇量会比以前更大,出题会更趋向与国际接轨,突出实际应用能力的考查。并会体现课改精髓,以推动我省的新课改。在稳定中渐变,由于去年的英语试卷在题型上有较大变化,新增了题型。今年题型没有调整,只是在词汇上做了增补。
在今年的补充说明中,题型、试卷结构以及考试时间与去年均一致。今年在难度控制上,与去年基本持平。
