56、y government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. The supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long t

57、ime, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. M

58、any people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay worker

59、s. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, the critics hold

60、 the opinion that an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.The supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services

61、for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal

62、”. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.71This passage shows that s

63、etting maximum rent may _.A. encourage the construction of more apartmentsB. reduce the shortage of apartmentsC. discourage the renting of apartments as homesD. result in a shortage of apartments72From the passage, we can infer that rent control _.A. is completely unnecessary B. will likely bring ab

64、out undesired resultsC. will bring positive effects in the long runD. is necessary under all circumstances73The problem of unemployment may come up when _.A. the minimum wage is set too low B. the workers are unskilled C.the minimum wage is set too highD. people need low-paying jobs74The passage is

65、mainly about economists disagreement on _.A. the possible results of government controls B. the urgency of getting rid of government controls C. the relationship between supply and demand D. the effectiveness of government controls75We can conclude from the passage that _.A. the results of economic

66、decisions can always be predictedB. predicting the results of economic decisions is something complicatedC. minimum wage can not protect employeesD. economists usually have the same prediction about an economic decision第卷（共35分）第四部分：写作（共三节，满分35分）第一节 阅读表达 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)1On the day of Chongyang Fes

67、tival, one traditional activity is to climb mountains. However, mountains are not everywhere for people to climb. Therefore, for those people who live in flat regions far from any mountain, the problem is solved by going for a picnic and eating cakes. The Chinese word for cake is Gao, a homonym (同音异

68、义词) of the Chinese word for high. Mountains are high, so eating cake can, by a stretch of the imagination, take the place of_. 2The tradition of eating cakes in September is originated from the ancient times. Though the name of Gao started from the Six Dynasties, the cakes had already existed in Han

69、 Dynasty, which was called Er in Chinese at that time. It is made of rice flour, which is classified into two types: paddy rice flour and millet rice flour. They are mixed together, which is named Er. In September, the millet is ripe. It is regarded as the food just in season, which is offered to an

71、ormed with the promotion of mountain-climbing activity. As the cakes appear in different forms, Chongyang Cake was also called Hua (Colorful) Cake after the Ming & Qing Dynasty and became the food for the season in urban and rural areas. Hua Cake is divided into Unpolished Hua Cake, Refined Hua Cake

72、 and Gold Coin Hua Cake. Unpolished Hua Cake is marked with caraway leaves, sandwiched with date, peach kernel and other unpolished dry fruits.

78、校对2000名学生就“幸福感”的看法进行了调查。请根据以下数据写一篇文章。比例“幸福感”的来源60%从父母或亲友的爱、从温暖的家庭生活中感受到幸福20%从助人、捐赠、义卖中感受到幸福10%从友情中感受到幸福10%异于上述情况，从不同角度讲述自己的幸福感结论：调查情况反映出学生们是热爱生活的，但是同时也反映了他们的生活经历有限、视野不够开阔。注意：1. 要包括以下内容：(1) 调查时间、调查问题以及调查对象；（2）数据的解读；（3）总体评价。2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。3. 词数120左右。参考词汇：义卖 a voluntary selling 数据 statistics_高二英语期末

79、考试参考答案【要点综述】 本文是一篇记叙文，通过叙述同一病室的两个病人由于人生观的不同，眼中的世界也不一样的故事，向人们提出问题：如何看待痛苦？怎样才能让自己幸福？文章最后一段展开议论，向人们表述了一个道理：每个人都应把握现在，用积极的心态去赢得幸福的生活。36Dsit up意为“坐起来”。sit up in his bed 意为“坐在床上”37Bnext to意为“靠近”。next to意思是“靠着”，其他语意不符。38 Bkill the time干扰性最强，这里表达的不是“消磨时间”，而是“一直都躺在病床上”。 39A从下文看，这里表示的是“向他的室友描述他所看到的”而非“跟某人交谈”。

80、40C上文说过：他的床是靠窗摆放的，所以他能看见窗外的一切，而不是“屋子外的一切”。41Aoverlook意为“俯视，俯瞰”，其主语为建筑物；view作动词，主语是“人”。42Aarm in arm 是固定搭配，意思是“臂挽着臂”。43C此处view作名词，a fine view of the city 表示“城市美丽的风景”；scenery 只表示“自然的风景”；sight意为“视力”；state意为“状态”，与上下文不符。44D情态动词would 表示“出于自己的意愿，愿意做某事”，其他与语境不符。 45B动词imagine意思是“想象”，close ones eyes and imagi

81、ne sth. 表示“闭上眼睛想象某事发生”。46A考查动词词组的辨析。go by 意为“过去”； go on 意为“继续”；go up意为“上升”；go away意为“离开”。这里是“一天天、一周周过去了”，故选A。47C从in his sleep可知，这里应该是“他在睡梦中平静地去世了”。48A这里要表达的意思是“是否能搬到窗户边”，其他三项语意不符。49Dhold oneself up意思是“自己支撑着起来”；raise 是及物动词，其后不能接up，故A选项不能选。50Bto ones surprise意思是“让人吃惊的是”，符合语境。 51A由下文“could not even see the wall”可知死去的病人是个盲人。52D下文有but happiness，故此处在讨论“幸福”。53Ddoubled与上文half相对应，与but的转折意思相符。54Bvalue all of the things you have意思是“重视你所拥有的一切”。55A此处是一个why引导的表语从句。句意：那就是为什么它被叫做present(礼物)的原因。 版权所有：高考资源网()版权所有：高考资源网()高考资源网版权所有 侵权必究
