2008年广东高考英语模拟试题 

命题报告：
本卷严格依据最新《考试大纲》和《考试说明》编写，参考高考最新权威信息与变化，
命题方向适合新题型的特点，体现出命题的改革思路，特别是体现了《高中英语课程标准》中注重学习策略之中的交际策略，使考生“能主动扩展和利用学习资源，从多渠道获取信息”的意图从整体设计上来说，试卷层次梯度较理想，区分度好，其中“听力题”、 “语法填空题”、 “部分阅读题”略为容易，“信息匹配题”“读写任务题”部分有一定难度，出现部分新单词，部分考生可能会出现难以控制时间和猜词能力差的同学可能有个别题目完成不了的情况！例如听力获取信息部分，是考查学生对BBC电台这个背景知识的了解，如果学生有这方面的知识，做这道题就容易很多了，又如信息匹配题是考查有关颜色偏好和性格的关系和如何根据员工性格而促进工作效率的方法的信息匹配，其实这一类的文章学生可以结合日常生活常识来帮助解题。总体而言，试卷难度适中，有较强的区分度。学生应该合理分配做题的时间，注意例如读写任务题的解题技巧，如何写一篇文章的summary,即概括转述文章的要点，突出objective,complete和accurate的特点，学生要学会找出作者的论点、论据和结论才能总结，然后提出自己的观点，使用赞成、反对或中立的态度，利用事例论证等方法，最后得出结论等步骤。整套试卷选材新颖，有时代感和创新性、综合运用语言的能力高、考点覆盖面宽，展示了高考命题的最新研究成果。

At present, Specialization has become an increasing important factor in a great many careers. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. We can call these people “ generalists ” . And these “ generalists ” are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other people ' s work, to begin it and judge it.
The specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a “ trained ” man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalists and especially the administrator deal with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “ educated ” man; and the humanities are his strongest foundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in a particular field. Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.
Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time, you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.
56. There is an increasing demand for ________.
A. all round people in their own fields
B. people whose job is to organize other people ' s work
C. people whose educational background is either technical or professional
D. specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others
57. The specialist is ________.
A. a man whose job is to train other people
B. a man who has been trained in more than one field
C. a man who can see the forest rather than the trees
D. a man whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters
58. The administrator is ________.
A. a “ trained ” man who is more a specialist than a generalist
B. a man who sees the trees as well as the forest
C. a man who is very strong in the humanities
D. a man who is an “ educated ” specialist
59. During your training period, it is important ________.
A. to try to be a generalist
B. to choose a profitable job
C. to find an organization which fits you
D. to decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalist
60. A man ' s first job ________.
A. is never the right job for him
B. should not be regarded as his final job
C. should not be changed or people will become suspicious of his ability to hold any job
D. is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final job

Ⅵ、读写任务（共1小题；满分25分）
阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Owing to the traditional Grammar-focused, teacher-centered and test-based classes in China, English is thought to be something dry and abstract or a subject similar to any other subject that the students are learning. What the students need to do at class is just to concentrate their attention on the teacher’s lecture, which always focuses on vocabulary and grammar explanation. As a result, many students can’t open their mouths to speak   English despite they have learned English for several years. A national survey in 15 provinces and cities by the State Education Commission in 1986 revealed that most middle-school leavers found it hard to communicate even in simple English after spending 900 hours in English class. (1)
With China’s entry to WTO, English is becoming a hit in China. As is reported,   nearly 100 million Chinese elementary and secondary school students, apart from English learners from other walks of life, are learning English.
In line with China’s entry to WTO, the reforming of educational system in China is progressing with times and the tendency of quality-oriented education is taking the lead.
Foreign languages are important tools that people use to take in fruit of foreign civilizations and communicate for international co-operation. It is an indispensable basic  skill for modern humans. (2) So the purpose of learning English is to use it. In another  word, English should be a tool that people use to communicate. The purpose of English  teaching is to help foster an ability of making use of language knowledge and technique .It is an urgent task to find an efficient teaching method for English.
