Take a view, the Landscape（风景）Photographer of the Year Award, was the idea of Charlie Waite, one of today’s most respected landscape photographers. Each year, the high standard of entries has shown that the Awards are the perfect platform to showcase the very best photography of the British landscape. Take a view is a desirable annual competition for photographers from all corners of the UK and beyond.

Mike Shepherd (2011) Skiddaw in Winter Cumbria, England It was an extremely cold winter’s evening and freezing fog hung in the air. I climbed to the top of a small rise and realised that the mist was little more than a few feet deep, and though it was only a short climb, I found myself completely above it and looking at a wonderfully clear view of Skiddaw with the sum setting in the west. I used classical techniques, translated from my college days spent in the darkroom into Photoshop, to achieve the black-and-white image（图像）. Timothy Smith (2014) Macclesfield Forest Cheshire, England I was back in my home town of Macclesfield to take some winter images. Walking up a path through the forest towards Shutlingsloe, a local high point, I came across a small clearing and immediately noticed the dead yellow grasses set against the fresh snow. The small pine added to the interest and I placed it centrally to take the view from the foreground right through into the forest.

B. Photographers. D. Tourists.

1. Who would most probably enter for Take a view? A. Writers. C. Painters.

2. What do the works by Shepherd and Smith have in common? A. They are winter images. B. They are in black and white. C. They show mountainous scenes. D. They focus on snow-covered forests. 3. Where can the text be found? A. In a history book. C. In an art magazine.

B. In a novel. D. In a biography.

Port Lympne Reserve, which runs a breeding（繁育）programme, has welcomed the arrival of a rare black rhino calf（犀牛幼崽）.When the tiny creature arrived on January 31, she became the 40th black rhino to be

born at the reserve. And officials at Port Lympne were delighted with the new arrival, especially as black rhinos are known for being difficult to breed in captivity（圈养）.

Paul Beer, head of rhino section at Port Lympne, said: “Obviously we’re all absolutely delighted to welcome another calf to our black rhino family. She’s healthy, strong and already eager to play and explore. Her mother, Solio, is a first-time mum and she is doing a fantastic job. It’s still a little too cold for them to go out into the open, but as soon as the weather warms up, I have no doubt that the little one will be out and about exploring and playing every day.”

The adorable female calf is the second black rhino born this year at the reserve, but it is too early to tell if the calves will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild. The first rhino to be born at Port Lympne arrived on January 5 to first-time mother Kisima and weighed about 32 kg. His mother, grandmother and great grandmother were all born at the reserve and still live there.

According to the World Wildlife Fund, the global black rhino population has dropped as low as 5500, giving the rhinos a “critically endangered” status.

4. Which of the following best describes the breeding programme?

A. Costly. B. Controversial. C. Ambitious. D. Successful. 5. What does Paul Beer say about the new-born rhino?

A. She loves staying with her mother. C. She is in good condition. 6. What similar experience do Solio and Kisima have?

A. They had their first born in January. C. They lived with their grandmothers. 7. What can be inferred about Porn Lympne Reserve?

A. The rhino section will be open to the public. B. It aims to control the number of the animals

C. It will continue to work with the World Wildlife Fund. D. Some of its rhinos may be sent to the protected wild areas.

C

B. They enjoyed exploring new places. D. They were brought to the reserve young. B. She dislikes outdoor activities. D. She is sensitive to heat.

When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.

Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don’t worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam（横杆）, I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that’s what mattered — landing tricks, being a good skater.

When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up.

When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I’ve traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear; tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving（穿梭）among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail-thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded（滑）up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”

“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”

8. What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London?

A. He felt disappointed. C. He liked the weather there. A. Be careful! B. Well done! A. To join the skateboarding. C. To learn more tricks.

B. He gave up his hobby.

D. He had disagreements with his family. C. No way! D. Don’t worry! B. To make new friends. D. To relive his childhood days

9. What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean?

10. Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London?

11. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?

A. Children should learn a second language. B. Sport is necessary for children’s health. C. Children need a sense of belonging D. Seeing the world is a must for children.

D

Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.

Let’s state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?

In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It’s said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club — women, or people of a different color or belief — they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.

A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender（性别）are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.”

Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.

Here’s the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors（因素）like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance（毅力）, and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.\"

12. What does the author think of victors’ standards for joining the genius club?

A. They’re unfair. C. They’re objective.

B. They’re conservative. D. They’re strict.

13. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?

A. They think themselves smart. B. They look up to great thinkers.

C. They see gender differences earlier than boys. D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs. 14. Why are more geniuses known to the public?

A. Improved global communication. B. Less discrimination against women. C. Acceptance of victors’ concepts. D. Changes in people’s social positions. 15. What is the best title for the text?

A. Geniuses Think Alike C. Genius and Intelligence

B. Genius Takes Many Forms D. Genius and Luck

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分）

根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Swap, Don’t shop!

You keep hearing about recycling, right? But it doesn’t end with bottles, cans, and paper. Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources（资源）to make, and buying loads of new clothing（or throwing out old clothing）is not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all those perfectly-good-but-you’re-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor? 16 . It’s the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes

from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.

A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how much fun is had. It’s really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.

●Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection. 17 , and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.

● 18 . They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their \"new\" clothes home. ●Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room. 19 . Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them — things always look different when you put them on.

●Set a starting time. Maybe you say “go,” or turn on a certain song, or whatever. 20 . And don’t forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it’s a party! A. Less people than that B. Hold a clothing swap C. If two people are competing D. Just keep music playing throughout E. Donate whatever clothes are left over

F. Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots G. Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition

Last week our teacher asked us to fill in a questionnaire. One of the questions are：Who will you go in times of trouble? Here are the results. Many students say they will talk to their friend or classmates because they’re of the same age and can understand each other. Some will turn out to their parents or teachers for help. Only a little choose to deal with the problems on our own. Their answers also show that they dislike talk to others. They kept very much to themselves. In my opinion, where in trouble, we should seek help from those we trust mostly. 第二节 书面表达（满分25分）

高考英语复习要点

①坚持不懈，培养语言感觉：

英语有一个与语文相似的特性——语境性和对语感的要求较高。就好比即使自己知道普通话的标准发音，但是如果学习和生活中的主要用语还是方言，说普通话时一样会感觉生疏。所以在考试之前要保持对英语的“亲密接触”，这种“接触”最好是持久的，定期的，高质量的。 有些同学有时并不见长于语法规则的记忆，但是在做单选关于语法的题目时并不见得会比将语法书熟记于心的同学吃亏，他们的原因和做法一般是“多读读，读着读着，好像就觉得某一个选项更正确，更顺口一些”。这不少同学在做语文语病题的时候不靠死记硬背，而是通过“语感”是一样的原理。那么又怎么解释“高质量”呢？这里所谓的“高质量”指的是接触的英语题目材料质量要高，做题之后的分析认真。如果仅是马马虎虎当然也有效果，但是同前者的收获就不可同日而语了。

当然，“题感”这种感觉每门科目多少都会涉及，这是一条通则。 ②提高兴趣，养成泛读习惯：

学习一门语言的高级境界无非是“熟悉”二字。再加上高考英语主要是以书面形式进行考察，所以对英语的阅读十分重要。有别于英语考试中对文本材料一读再读的“精读”，泛读要求快速，最多是把生词挑出来继续。这一方法对上条目标“培养语言感觉”有促进作用。通过泛读累积，既可以克服对“英语”的畏难心理，也可以在大量泛读材料中培养感觉。一句话，当你拿起一张报纸，中文的也读，英文的也读，而且是不假思索的开始读，无论你是否了解所有单词的含义，起码你已经具备一定的英语实际应用水平了。 ③改变心理，勇于“秀”出英语：

根据边际效应法则，学习的进度在到达一定水平时，学习新知识的速度会相应减慢。举个相应的例子来说，小学十天学到的新字可能是高中十天学到的几十倍甚至更多。但是这一套法则放

在学习一门具有几十万单词量的语言中，在一定范围内至少变化是不明显的。高考词汇之后是四、六级，在之后还有更多高等级英语考试对单词的要求。所以多学一个陌生单词比多学一个陌生汉字来得容易。

既然已经如此，为什么不尝试添加一些趣味，主动挑战高等级范围内的单词？我经常和同学们展开这样的背四、六级单词的比赛，不仅感受到了竞争的趣味，同时也解决了很多阅读理解时的“拦路虎”。不要总觉得单词是为了考试而背，更不要存有“反正这个单词也不一定考出来，我就不背了”的心理，单词背会了是自己的，想怎么用都可以。 ④行胜于言，说到就要做到

小到每个课间，大到寒假暑假，都是我们可以为自己下一个阶段的学习定计划的时间。不过我通过对身边人的观察往往发现，有人在假期第一天列出了详细的“假期坐席时间规划表”，每天几点起床几点看书，几点到几点背单词几点到几点做数学题这样的，然而在把计划表贴在墙头的第二天，他们就把前一天的雄心壮志淹没在“嗯，这么早？再睡一会儿吧”或者“没关系，反正假期这么长呢”之中。假期是这样，平时学习会打什么折扣也就不难推测了。

Actionsspeaklouderthananywords。如果没有行动，或者说没有高效的，目标明确的行动，再厉害的愿景展望和期待也终究是只能在风光给自己看。所以，定下目标之后一定要迫不及待而又保质保量地去完成，非如此不足以实现自己的目标。总之，“知道”只是“知道”，“做到”才是王道。如果实在是感觉困难的话，各位学弟学妹可以尝试只做一次——万事开头难，如果一次你做成功了之后，你会发现这第一次也没你想象的那么困难。

我们对于一事物的印象是可以向“越来越简单”转化的——要么是因为它原本就不难只不过是你自己的为难情绪太过根深蒂固，而你在第一次之后克服了这种畏难情绪；要么就是在实践的过程中熟能生巧，提高了自己的能力。所以很多事情并没有你想象的那么难。

有了计划，尽管去试试，反正不吃亏。如果不敢尝试，那就先做第一次。比方说在高考前一段日子我减少了做题量，每天固定2篇阅读+2篇完型，周六周日各一套卷子，严格掐表，请同桌监督。第一次做的很不好，但是我有认真总结并觉得如果能一一克服，下周表现一定会好。果不其然，第二周的减持情况就很不错，保质保量都完成了。在第二周的时候成就感也建立起来了，于是就慢慢做下去，直到高考前一周为止。
