爱华网2011年广东省高考英语试卷相比2010年高考英语题目总体难度稳中略升。体现在以下两个方面：
1、 试卷整体词汇难度适当。相比2007、2008、2009年的试卷，2010、2011年英语试卷词汇方面的考察范围更为“亲民”，避免了一些偏词怪词和生僻词汇的出现，与难词直接关联的题目也较前三年大为减少。
2、 试卷整体安排基本符合高考主流，考生易于把握考试节奏。只要是反复做过以前几年高考英语试卷的同学不难感觉到今年的题目中规中矩，特别是在主观题目的考察上非常符合广东卷以往的风格和考察习惯。

It has been argued by some that gifted children should be grouped in special classes, The 1 has been on the belief that in regular classes these children are held back in their intellectual (智力的) growth by 2 situation that has designed for the 3 children.
There can be little doubt that 4 classes can help the gifted children to graduate earlier and take their place in life sooner. However, to take these 5 out of the regular classes may create serious problems.
I observed a number of 6 children who were taken out of a special class and placed in a 7 class. In the special class, they showed little ability to use their own judgment, relying 8 on their teachers’ directions. In the regular class, having no worry about keeping up, they began to reflect 9 on many problems, some of which were not on the school program.
Many are concerned that gifted children become 10 and lose interest in learning. However this 11 is more often from parents and teachers than from students, and some of these 12 simply conclude that special classes should be set up for those who are 13 . Some top students do feel bored in class, but why they 14 so goes far beyond the work they have in school. Studies have shown that to be bored is to be anxious. The gifted child who is bored is an 15 child.

One Sunday morning in August I went to local music festival. I left it early because I had an appointment 16 later (late) that day. My friends walked me to the bus stop and waited with me 17until/till the bus arrived. I got on the bus and found a seat near the back, and then I noticed a man 18 sitting/sit (sit) at the front. He 19 was pretending (pretend) that a tiger toy was real and giving it a voice. He must be 20 mentally (mental) disabled. Behind him were other people to 21 whom he was trying to talk, but after some minutes 22 they walked away and sat near me, looking annoyed I didn’t want to be laughed at for talking to him but I didn’t like leaving him 23 on his own either.
After a while I rose from my seat and walked to the front of the bus. I sat next to the man and introduced myself. We had 24 an amazing conversation. He got off the bus before me and I felt very happy the rest of the way home.
I’m glad I made a choice. It made 25 both of us feel good.
【要点导读】本文是一篇记叙文，内容是本文作者记叙了一次在公交车上遇见一位看起来精神有些不太正常的人的故事。当时尽管车上人不多，但没有一位乘客愿意和他搭话，最终为了不使这个人感到不适，“我”主动去和他交谈。

【解题思路】做感官动词notice的宾语补足语，与notice的动作同时进行，用v-ing形式；表示客观事实，notice的宾语补足语用不带to的动词不定式。 看见某人在做某事，用notice sb. doing/do sth.。。

Ⅱ. 阅读 (共两节, 满分50分)
第一节 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animal. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.
Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed. No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.
26. The author has discovered that people will feel happy when ______.
A. the offer their help B. they receive others’ help
C. they feel others’ kindness D. they show their weakness
27. The author feels sad sometimes because ______.
A. he has a soft heart B. he relies much on others
C. some people pretend to be kind D. some people fail to see the kindness in others
28. What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?
A. They speed up to pass. B. They waited with patience.
C. They tried their best to help. D. They put on their flashlights too.
29. In this passage, the author advises us to ______.
A. handle problems by ourselves B. accept help from others
C. admit our weakness D. show our bravery
30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. A Wheelchair Experience. B. Weakness and Kindness.
C. Weakness and Strength D. A Driving Experience
【文章大意】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文章，作者通过介绍自己的亲身经历，讨论的是勇敢地问题，当我们弱小时往往会引出人们的善良。
26． 【答案】A
【命题立意】细节理解题。
【解题思路】由第1段最后一句可知，关键是理该句中的it，它指的是前文中的the kindness in people，其具体行为是people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat，人们的这些行为就是they offer their help，可知本题选A。
27． 【答案】D
【命题立意】细节理解题。
【解题思路】根据第二自然段中的From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily一句可知本题选D。
28． 【答案】B
【命题立意】推理判断题。
【解题思路】由第五自然段中的But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.可知本题选B。
29． 【答案】C
【命题立意】推理判断题。
【解题思路】由最后一句it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak可知，本题C项正确。
30． 【答案】B
【命题立意】主旨大意题。
【解题思路】根据主题段——第一自然段的前两句可知本文大意思是谈论弱点和好心问题，故本题选B。关键是找主题句，在第一段的中but, however等表示转折的词后往往就是主题句，本文的主题句是But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people，由此可提炼出关键的两个词Weakness和Kindness。
特别提醒：本段5个小题的题眼都在but后的内容中。在阅读中准确理解but, however后的内容该是多么重要呀！
B
Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.
However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.
In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk ‘dog’, and dogs can learn how to talk ‘Cat’.
What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than we previously suspected. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.
The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets ─ to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.
31. The underlined word swimmingly in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. early B. sweetly C. quickly D. smoothly
32. Some cats and dogs may fight when ______.
A. they are cold to each other B. they look away from each other
C. they misunderstood each other’s signals D. they are introduced at an early age
33. What is found surprising about cats and dogs?
A. They eat and sleep each other. B. They observe each other’s behaviors.
C. They learn to speak each other’s language. D. They know something from each other’s voices.
34. It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ______.
A. have common interests B. are less different than was thought
C. have a common body language D. are less intelligent than was expected
35. What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?
A. We should learn to live in harmony. B. We should know more about animals.
C. We should live in peace with animals. D. We should learn more body languages.
【文章大意】本文是一篇科普说明文，介绍了一项关于猫狗相处的研究报告，大意是说明科学家们研究发现：猫和狗能否和谐相处主要由它们最初在一起的年龄来决定。尽管如此，它们有和谐相处的可能，其结论是猫狗学会了对方的语言，对对方有了更多的了解，就可以和睦相处。由此推断，我们人与人之间也应当可以学会和睦相处。那么我们人类能否借鉴它们的关系呢！
31． 【答案】D
【命题立意】词义猜测题。
【解题思路】Swimmingly所在句子的意思是：很有可能这两种宠物相处的很甜蜜。由此可知swimmingly与smoothly意思相同。由本句的前句两句 “…they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success”的逻辑关系，特别是new一词，我们知道，两者“相处得好”；再由本句后面一句中的a positive relationship between their cat and dog可以进一步确定猫狗“相处得好”，故选D。
32． 【答案】C
【命题立意】推理判断题。
【解题思路】根据第二自然段中的One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite.一句可知本题选C。
33． 【答案】C
【命题立意】细节理解题。
【解题思路】根据第四自然段的前两句可知奇怪的是：他们（猫和狗）学会了讲对方的语言(body signals)，即懂得对方的身体信号，可知本题选C。
34． 【答案】B
【命题立意】段落大意题。
【解题思路】第四自然段中说明毛和狗开始学习对方的语言，所以它们并不是像我们想象的那样水火不容，而是越来越有更多的共同点，选B。由第4段第4句可知。只是用 “are less different (不同点更少了)”替代了原文的 “have more in common (共同点更多了)” ；用同义词thought来替代suspected。可知本题选B
35． 【答案】A
【命题立意】推理判断题。
【解题思路】由最后一段，特别是最后一句可以推知。理解句子本意：如果猫和狗都可以学会和睦相处，人与人之间就一定能有可能(和睦相处)；据此推断：既然人与人之间就一定能有可能(和睦相处)，我们为什么不学会和睦相处呢？即“我们应该学会和睦相处”，可知本题选A。
C
A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class. Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published. I accepted the job without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr. Davis. My father went by the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused. “Wait a minute” someone might say, “are you talking about Mr. Davis the retired man, or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”
The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent searching for briefcase (公文包) and standing before my full-length mirror, repeating the words, “Hello, class. I’m Mr. Davis.” Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice. Sometimes I would sound experienced. But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr. Davis was there. I sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12-year-old boy.
I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves. I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper. I saw nine students along a long table. I handed out the cards, and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.
“All right then,” I said. “Okay, here we go.” Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment. I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day. I had imagined that I would sit at the edge of the desk, overlooking a forests of hands. Every student would yell. “Calm down, you’ll all get your turn. One at a time, one at a time!”
A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other opinions, I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.
36. The author took the job to teach writing because ______.
A. he wanted to be expected B. he had written some storied

In a world with limited land, water and other natural resources (资源), the harm from the traditional business model is on the rise. Actually, the past decades has seen more and more forests disappearing and globe becoming increasingly warm. People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed, and that we must be able to develop in sustainable (可持续的) ways. That means growth with low carbon or development of sustainable products. In other words, we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural resources.
Today, sustainable development is a proper trend in many countries. According to a recent study, the global market for low-carbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decades. China, for example, has set its mind on leading that market, hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global energy revolution. It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy, and is spending a huge amount of money making electric cars and high-speed trains. In addition, we are also seeing great growth in the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil (棕榈油)， which is produced without cutting down valuable rainforest. In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.
Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets. First, they can set high targets for reducing carbon emissions (排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy. Besides, stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development. Finally, governments can avoid the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction, and redirecting some of those expenses can accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.
The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of growing population within the limits if this single planet. That is no small task, but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product industries.
41. The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that ______.
A. It makes the world warmer B. it consumes natural resources
C. it brings severe damage to forests D. it makes growth hard to continue
42. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A. China lacks wind and solar energy.
B. China is the leader of the low-carbon market.
C. High-speed trains are a low-carbon development.
D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.
43. To full develop the low-carbon markets, government can ______.
A. cut public expenses B. forbid carbon emission
C. develop public resources D. encourage energy conservation
44. We can learn from the last paragraph that businesses have many chances to ______.
A. develop sustainable products B. explore new natural resources
C. make full use of natural resources D. deal with the major challenge
45. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce a new business model. B. To compare two business models.
C. To predict a change of the global market. D. To advocate sustainable development.

第二节 信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。
首先请阅读下列近期热播的国外影视作品的海报及提示性文字：
A. When it comes to the essential story line, the movie is all about a bird traveling several thousand miles for the purpose of setting up a rare bird family.
B. Cracks explore the evil force developed within a closed society, the single-minded violence of the mob mentality, and the seductive charm of the heroine.
C. Eleven years after Sidney Prescott tangled with a mad killer, the Scream series has been exhumed. It was fun and breezy in 1996. In 2011, it’s about as fresh as the whiff.
D. Soul surfer portrays the comeback spirit and faith of shark attack survivor and champion surfer Bethany Hamilton.
E. Although it is a better fantasy than a comedy, this movie never fully embraces either side of the dramatic types and ends up a bastard of mixed blood.
F. This movie is a richer and more compelling thriller involving a cat-and-mouse game than the average roller coaster ride into tension and misery. And it also has a “clean” ending.
以下是这些影视作品的背景简介或故事梗概。请将相关背景简介或故事梗概与影视作品的海报及提示性文字匹配起来。
46. Having spent most of her life in the worlds of Finland and toughened herself with half her teen years’ harsh training as a killer, she decides that she is ready to enter society. Her first mission is to kill Marissa, her mother’s killer. The plan goes much as expected, except the “Marissa” is an imposter. Hanna becomes the prey in a cat-and-mouse game with the real Marissa, causing tension and misery.
47. Blu is a domesticated macaw from the jungles of South America. If Linda, his owner, brings him to Rio, the bird can mate the last female blue macaw and re-start the species. Blu’s encounter with his bride-to-be, Jewel, doesn’t go well, but the two aren’t given much time to get to know each other before a gang of bird-hunters spirits them away. Now it’s up to Blu and Jewel to escape the criminals.
48. Perhaps surprisingly, it works reasonably well until the jokes get in the way, testifying to how durable fantasy clichés are. Yet, considering the talent involved on both sides of the camera, audiences may be expecting more. Even though it emerges from an un-crowded genre in which the competition is sparse, Your Highness is forgettable and it likely won’t take long before it is forgotten.
49. The film begins with the heroine at age 13, already a champion surfer who has been winning trophies since she was 9. On an idyllic Hawaii day, she is practicing for next competition when a shark strikes, biting off her left arm. She makes a quick physical recovery and is back on her surfboard after several weeks, but her spiritual recovery is more complicated as she struggle to believe she can -- and should -- keep surfing. She goes out there and shows the world she can be a beacon for human soul.
50. The Ghost Face Killer has chosen this year to emerge from the winter long sleep, and his targets appear to be Sidney and those few remaining family members. Scream 4 offers little more than a group of familiar characters wandering around a horror movie setting and uttering self-referential one-liners as the body count mounts. The story is thin and belabored -- more an excuse to encounter old friends and revel in new gore than the “revision” promised by the promotional material.
46. 【答案】F
【命题立意】根据本题中和F选项中的cat-and-mouse game；图中文字Hanna。可知本题选F。
47. 【答案】A
【命题立意】由本题中all about a bird traveling；和A项中的bird可知本题选A。
48. 【答案】E
【命题立意】how durable fantasy和 a better fantasy than a comedy；图中文字Highness。
本题中的jokes和E选项中的comedy是近义词，由此可知本题选E。
49. 【答案】D
【命题立意】surfer；keep surfing；a shark strikes ；a quick physical recovery and is back on her surfboard和Soul surfer ；shark attack survivor以及图中人物姿态。
,故本题选D。
50. 【答案】C
【命题立意】根据The Ghost Face Killer 和图画信息；选项C中的the Scream series 和Scream 4，可知本题选C。

【写作要求】
只能用5个句子表达全部内容。
【评分标准】
句子结构准确，信息内容完整，篇章连贯。
【写作指导】
本题材料所给的信息较多，要求又比较严格，只要五句话包含所有信息，因此要先注意审题，分清内容要点，并注意对要点的编排，恰当地使用好主从复合句，独立结构，并列结构等较复杂的句式，但要注意的是句子结构的完整，切忌使用“半句话”或“言之无物”。
【要点解析】2011年广东省高考英语基础写作是一篇说明文，让考生对《虎妈战歌》（Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother）这本书进行介绍。今年的基础写作题材较新，有些考生可能不知道虎妈教育孩子的事情，但不影响本文写作，考生只把它当作一本图书介绍即可。
试题详细地给出了内容要点，为控制性写作。在文章结构方面，一定要紧扣考题已给出的写作提示：1.图书的基本信息；2.图书的相关报道。要写好此文，考生需要注意四点：
一、要认真审题，确定体裁、人称和时态等；
二、要运用适当的句型，合理地组织文字；
三、切忌照译，要适当地增加细节，恰当地使用连接过渡词，以使行文连贯；
四、在句型方面，为了用五个句子表达全部内容，复合句的使用依然是考查的重点。
【参考范文】Version 1
A book entitled Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother by Amy Chua was published in 2010. It tells how the author, a Chinese American and professor at Yale University, educated her two daughters in the traditional Chinese way. Its publication has started a debate as to which way of parenting is superior, the traditional Chinese way or the American way. It is reported that the Chinese version of the book began to sell in China early 2011. Unexpectedly, the majority of mothers in China disagree with the author though her 17-year-old elder daughter was lately reported to have got offers from both Harvard and Yale.
Version 2
A book entitled Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother was published in 2010. Its author is Amy Chua, a Chinese American and professor at Yale, who tells stories in her book about how she educated her two daughters in the traditional Chinese way. Ever since its publication, a heated discussion has been around about whether the Chinese way of educating is better than the American way. The Chinese version of the book began to sell in China early 2011, but surprisingly most Chinese mothers do not agree to Amy Chua's way of parenting. A recent report says that Amy's elder daughter, 17, has been accepted by both Harvard and Yale.

When Sam first got to his boarding school with his parents, he was very happy. He thought he would be able to go home every weekend. When he was told he would not, he started crying because the thought of not seeing his parents was driving him crazy.
He was given uniforms and all other things that he would need for the term. He started crying when it was time for his parents to leave. He was then taken to the dorm, where he saw other children happy. He tried as much as he could to fit in but could not because his mind was at home. He started feeling homesick (想家) and wanted to go homes as soon as possible.
He got sick soon because he could not eat the school food. He could not concentrate in the classroom. All he could think was being at home with his family. He had no mobile phone or other means to get in touch with his parents. He was angry and felt lonely. He thought his parents hated him and that was why they left him in a boarding school.（192W）

【参考范文】
The story is about what Sam felt about his first boarding school life. As a child, he never left his parents, so he didn’t get used to dealing with everything in school independently.
Once I had a similar experience. I finished my junior middle school in a boarding school. At the age of 13, I never dealt with the daily things, such as washing clothes, taking care of money etc. especially I felt lonely because I hardly knew any people. At first, I could not get on well with my classmates and I always looked forward to being on holiday to meet my parents. I could not concentrate on my subjects. As time went by, I gradually adapted myself to the school life. I made several friends with our classmates and often took part in the activities, in which I improved my communicating skills. As I had a lot of interesting things to do, I finally enjoyed my school life.
Now, whenever I think of my first boarding school life, I think it instructive and unforgettable.
【要点解析】

2. 本写作具有一定的开放性。它要求考生充分发挥自己的想象力并运用熟练的语言知识将其表达出来。这充分考查了考生的能力。
3. 注意文章的写作内容要齐全，按要求该文章应分为二段。
