2015年高考英语长宁一模试卷分析

system, University services, information on living in Britain and culture differences, as well as addressing practical issues such as employment, immigration and visas, health and safety. You can choose which talks to attend and at the end of the day there is a social hour so you can meet fellow students. Another good thing to experience early on is college dining. Most colleges have a tradition of regular formal hall dinners, which consist of three or four courses, and the atmosphere of an evening out in a nice restaurant. On some of these occasions you can invite people around to your college for dinner and then they may return the favor. In this way, you can get to know people studying your own and other subjects at the same time as visiting many of the historical college grounds and dining halls. Further information on your first few weeks at Oxford is available via the Students Gateway on our website, and you can get first-hand accounts of what life at Oxford is like by watching videos of students talking about their experiences on our Wall of 100 Faces. 70. Which of the following is not the first thing for a newcomer to Oxford to do? A. to find a best place to socialize B. to set up a bank account C. to go to the Sheldonian Theatre D. to get mobile phone working

(C)

When a big boat, like a cruise ship, goes through the ocean, it often creates waves. This happens when the large engines on the back of the cruise ship cause the water on the ocean’s surface move up and down violently. These waves move out from the boat in both directions. If you are captaining a smaller boat, you’d better steer clear of a ship’s wake, so that your boat is not surfing on the waves, causing it to overturn

A wave is a pattern of motion. When you look at a wave, it may appear as simply water moving across the surface of the ocean. In fact, this is false. The water is actually not moving in the same direction as the wave. While the wave itself -- the pattern of motion – is moving across the surface of the ocean, the water is actually moving in a circular motion, which brings the water molecules back to their original position. The water merely gives the appearance of moving forward.

If this is confusing, think of the kind of wave you do at a baseball stadium. Viewed from a distance, the wave is clearly moving across the stadium. But the thing that makes up the wave – the people – are not moving across the stadium, they’re just moving up and down in their seats. This is just like the water in an ocean wave. A lot of water is moving up and down, which gives water the appearance of moving along with the wave.

Surfers pay a lot of attention to waves. If you’re not in an area where the waves are suitable for surfing, then you can’t surf. Usually, surfers gather in areas known for big waves – waves that rise high off the ocean’s surface. If the wave is bigger, then the surfer is often able to surf for longer distances and perform more tricks. The height of a wave is known as its amplitude. If you could make a wave freeze, then you could measure the wave’s amplitude by running a tape measure from the ocean’s surface to the very peak of the wave.

All waves can be measured using amplitude and wavelength. While the waves created by a boat have very small amplitude – sometimes as small as a few centimeters – the wavelength can be very short, as lots of waves are being generated. By contrast, a tsunami has very high amplitude, sometimes more than 100 feet, but a relatively long wavelength, as it’s a high wave.

14

Waves generated in the same way can have great differences in amplitude and wavelength. For example, think back to the cruise ship. While each ship creates waves caused by the movement of the boat, the properties of each of the waves may be very different. For example, a larger cruise ship, with powerful engines, may create a wave that has high amplitude and a short wavelength. However, if the ship’s engines slow down, they may then start creating less powerful waves at a slower rate. This would cause the waves’ amplitude to decrease, but its wavelength to increase.

74. What does the phrase “steer clear of a cruise ship’s wake” in the 1st paragraph mean? A. keep awake while steering a ship B. get a clear view of what is ahead C. keep away from the cruise ship D. follow the cruise ship very closely 【参考答案】C 【考查内容】细节理解

【试题解析】这道题目稍微有点难度，需要学生理解上下文之后搞清楚：如果你开的是较小的船，那么为了不翻船，最好不要靠近较大的船只。

75. The author gives an example of wave people do in the stadium in order to _____________. A. illustrate how excited people are in a basketball stadium B. clear the confusion over measuring the wave’s amplitude C. demonstrate how to make waves in a basketball stadium D. explain why the water appears to move along the waves 【参考答案】D 【考查内容】段落理解

【试题解析】这道题目难度不大，作者举了在体育场的人们发出的波动的例子，是为了更形象地说明水和水波同时出现并向前进。

76. The last paragraph gives us the impression that ________________. A. the wave’s amplitude may vary, but its wavelength remain the same B. the move powerful the ships engines are, the higher the waves they generate C. the amplitude of a wave depends on the direction the water moves forward D. measuring the amplitude and wavelength of waves is not quite easy 【参考答案】B 【考查内容】段落理解

【试题解析】难度适中。最后一段的第一句话就表明了这一段主要讲的是波纹也是不同的，“For example, a larger cruise ship, with powerful engines, may create a wave that has high amplitude and a short wavelength”这句话也说明引擎越有力，波浪就越高。

77. What is this passage mainly about? A. How waves are created and measured. B. What makes the sea water move forwards. C. Why people create waves in the stadium. D. How to steer a cruise ship in the rough sea. 【参考答案】A 【考查内容】主旨大意

【试题解析】难度适中。整篇文章谈论的都是关于水波的，从它的产生到最后一段讲的如何测量。 Section C

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

The paper is written in an attempt to discuss what the creative process is .Though much theory has accumulated ,little is really known about the power that lies at the bottom of poetic creation. It is true that great poets and artists produce beauty by employing all the powers of personality and by combing emotions, reason, and intuitions(直觉). But what is the magical synthesis(合成) that joins and arranges these complex parts into poetic unity?

John L.Lowes, in his justly famous” The Road to Xanadu,” developed one of the earliest and still generally acceptable answers to this interesting question. Imaginative creation. He concludes , is a complex process in which the conscious and unconscious minds jointly operate. “there is ….the deep well with its chaos(杂乱) of accidently mixing images ,but there is likewise the vision which sees shining in and through the chaos of the potential lines of form , and with the vision, the controlling will ,which gives to that potential beauty actuality.”

The deep well is the unconscious mind that is peopled with the facts , ideas , feelings of the conscious activity. The imaginative vision , an unconscious activity, shines through the land of chaos, of lights and shadows , silently seeking pattern and form. Finally , the conscious mind again, through will , captures and embodies the idea in the final work of art. In this way is unity born out of chaos. Though there can be no absolute certainty, there is general agreement that the periods in the development of a creative work parallel(与….相似)， to some extent ,Lowes’s theory of well , vision , form and will. There are at least three stages in the creative process: preparation, inspiration, work.

In a sense, the period of preparation is all of the writer’s life. It is the deep well . It is especially a period of concentration which gives the unconscious mind an opportunity to communicate with the conscious mind. When remembrance of things past reaches the conscious level of the writer’s mind, he is ready to go on with the process. Part of this preparation involves learning a medium---
