Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family’s last vacation. It was my six-year-old son’s winter break form school ,and we were heading home form Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meeting in New York, So I had to get back . But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.

有些人为了省钱会竭尽所能，我也是其中之一。带上我家人的最后一个假期，那是我六岁儿子的寒假，经过一周的旅行，我们正从劳德代尔堡回家。航班预定超额，达美航空公司让我们放弃座位，第二天离开，并为每人补偿400美元。我在纽约有会议要参加，所以我必须回去。但我可以让我丈夫和儿子留下来，所以我带着九个月大的孩子回家了。

The next day my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged一okay, ordered-them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?

第二天，我的丈夫和儿子因为乘坐更晚的航班，获得了更多的补偿。是的，我鼓励的——好吧，让他们在机场等候以便从达美“赚”得更多的美元。我们总共花费1600美元，不错吧？

Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is some-timething few of us can afford to pass up.

如今好多人可能认为我不是一个好母亲，也不是一个好妻子。但是作为一位热衷于讨价还价的人，我知道一美元的价值。现在，一笔划算的交易是我们中很少有人能放弃的。

I've made living looking for the best deals and exposing the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.

我以寻找最好的交易和揭露最坏的伎俩为生。十多年来，我一直是NBC《今日秀》的消费者记者。我写过几本书，其中一本书名为《交易技巧：消费者生存指南》。我真的是言行一致。

I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children,and expensive restaurants.But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.

我告诉你这一点，是因为让花的钱物有所值并不羞耻。给孩子穿的鞋子、衣服和昂贵的餐馆，我也很吝啬，但我会毫不犹豫地花钱去剪个好发型。它保持的时间更长，这是人们的第一印象。我还要买一件经典的家具，品质持久。

43 with him. He hoped that the family would come before his granny came. Before long, a car came 44 the road leading to the house, with butter sandwiches, cheese and chocolate。

Zigfried’s Christmas miracle did arrive!

The house came 45 the next few days. Zigfried 46 every single hour of them. 47 , the day before Christmas when he was drinking hot chocolate with a 48 smile at the door of his home, he heard the 49 of the children of the family about what they might get for Christmas.

第四节:完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）

阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

To celebrate the end of our exams, my friends and I went to a fast food restaurant. We ordered 26 hamburgers and Coca Colar at the counter. When our 27 food came, I started walking towards an empty table. By bad luck, my purse strap(带子) got caught 28 on a chair and the tray(托盘) that I was holding slipped from 29 my hands and went flying in the air. The tray, and its contents, 30 fell on a man who was just about to 31 take a bite of his sandwich. I stared, greatly 32 shocked , as the drinks soaked(浸湿) his white shirt.

Then I 33 closed my eyes and prepared myself for his burst of 34 anger . Instead, he said “It’s OK” to 35 comfort me before he disappeared into washroom.

Still shaky and unsure 36 what to do next, my friends and I went to a table and sat there, trying our best to look 37 calm . A moment later, the man came out of the washroom and 38 approached our table. My heart almost stopped 39 beating . I though he was going to ask for my father’ s 40 number and call him.

To my surprise, he merely smiled at us, handed us some cash and said, “ 41 Buy yourself new hamburgers.” He then walked 42 away without even finishing his food.

He could have made what was already an uncomfortable situation worse, 43 but he chose a different way and gave us a reason to believe that there is still 44 kindness in this world. I’ll never 45 forget his actions.

为了庆祝考试结束，我和我们的朋友们去了一家快餐店，我们在柜台点了些汉堡和可乐。食物装好后，我端起来走向一张没人坐的桌子。不幸的是，我的手提包带子被一张椅子的椅背挂住了，我手里的托盘也被绊滑掉了，在空中往下坠。更不巧的是，托盘连带里面的食物一起掉在了旁边一位先生的身上，他正准备吃他的三明治。泼出来的可乐浸湿了他白色的衬衫，我被吓呆了，睁大眼睛傻傻的看着。

我闭上了眼睛，等待着他怒气爆发。但是，他并没有生气，反而安慰我说：没事。然后去了洗手间。

我仍然战战兢兢的站在那里，不知所措。然后，我和朋友们走到一张桌子边坐下，尽量使自己平静下来。一会儿，那位先生从洗手间里出来了，走向我们桌子这边。我感觉我的心跳快要停止了。我想，他一定是准备要我父亲的电话，然后打电话给他。

出乎意料的是，他只是对我们微笑，递给我们一些钱，说：给你们自己重新买点汉堡吧。然后，他就走了，连他的食物都没吃完。

他本来可以让不愉快的事情更糟糕的，可是，他却选择了另外一种方式，让我们有理由相信，这个世界上还是存在善行的。我将永远也不会忘记他的所作所为。

2013高考英语 13题

我发现我和四个孩子在路上走，a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through(我的一只没有和任何东西在一起的小羊羔一直不厌其烦地用乐观的神情上下打量着我)。我们沿着必经的乡村小路一直走。我们必须要每小时停歇一次，让Banner歇歇脚然后喂它些吃的。孩子们跑着抓住它和另一个。他们会气喘吁吁地回到车里然后发动汽车，呼吸寒冷的新鲜空气。

我们搜索了路的两旁，在齐腰深的草丛里抓蚱蜢。每次我们只是看看车窗外跟着自己母亲的小猪们，或者鱼儿跳出水面，这可比骑马跑在高速路上要好得多。这就是生活。和新的见识。

每一次我们拜访我父母的房子是总是惊奇的的到满满的新鲜的故事。

2013英语高考完型的翻译

原文：How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a ___13___ group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are __14___ fooled.

完形，就是还原一篇有道理，有逻辑的文章。

这段文字的逻辑要点是13空后边的“But”，它表示前后属性相反，即：前面集合元素少，数量小，后面集合元素多，数量超过three or four. 注意：the number指的是前面group的元素数量。

连起来意思是：如果集合（group)数量很小，当中某物被拿走，十四个月大的婴儿几乎总能注意到这一变化；但是，当集合元素量（number）超过3或4，婴儿就很容易被愚弄了（fooled）。

用数学的语言来描述，作者所说的a small group,里面元素应该2或3；因为转折后说“大于3或4”。

a single +单数名词，表一个，单个，这个意义下与集合（group）合作的机会很小。

即使勉强跟group，a single group含义也是“一组，唯一的一组”，不会有其他组。

大意推测

第一部分（para.1-2）

Michael Greenberg；popular New Yorker；"Gloves" Greenberg；briefcase；gloves；

Michael Greenberg是一个很受欢迎的纽约人；他被称为“手套” Greenberg；他的公文箱里总是带着一些手套；

第二部分（para.3-5）

In winter；looks around；stops；gives them a pair；looking for；know him；his behavior；don't know him；don't realize；

在冬天，他总是四处看，遇到没戴手套的人就停下来，送给他们一副，然后继续寻找别的人；很多人认识他，理解他的行为；一些人不认识他，没意识他做法的用意。

第三部分（para.6）

Michael's father；helped the poor；made everyone happier；feels；A pair of gloves；make a big difference

他父亲也一直帮助穷人；他认为这样可以使所有人更快乐；他也觉得是这样；在冬天，一副小手套会有很大的不同。

[解析]：

16．A。前面说他在艺术或运动方面不出名（not famous），然后用but转折，但是人们都知道、了解（know about）他。

17．D。根据下文所描述的赠送手套的情况，以及30空前出现的“many poor New Yorkers”和33空后面出现的“the poor”，可知选D。

18．B。对于那些人来说，他是“"Gloves" Greenberg”，而这当然是一个名字。

19．B。前面说他看起来和其他商人差不多，穿着西装，带着公文箱，但是他的公文箱里有一些手套，这就与众不同（different）了。

20．A。下文提到“who look at the sidewalk”，和“He looks around”等，这些都是人的行为表现（act）。

21．C。前面说他和别的纽约人不同，他会四处看，见到没有手套的人会停下来，而其他人则是看着人行道，匆忙走过（hurry down）街道。

22．B。下文出现了“someone；them；more people”，可知他在看人（people）。

23．D。前句说到他“look around”，此处应是看到（sees）某些人。

24．C。他四处看人，看到没有手套的，就停下来给他们手套，然后继续前进（moves on），寻找更多需要手套的人。

25．A。他送给人们的是手套，当然是寻找更多手（hands）冷的人了。

26．C。上一段说到他送手套给别人，此处再次说他赠送（gives away）手套。

27．D。冬天，他赠送手套；手套哪里来的呢？当然要制作或者购买（buys）才会有。

28．B。人们听说他的善举，就寄送（send）手套给他，支持他。

29. C。他21年前开始（began）做这件事，做了这么长时间，因此现在很多穷人认识他。

30． A。他做了这么长时间，很多人都熟悉了，因此能够理解（understand）他的行为。

31． D。前面说许多纽约穷人知道他，理解他的行为；但是不认识他的人有时就会对他感到惊奇（surprised by）。

32．D。那些对他感到惊奇的人，只是没有意识到他只是想让他们高兴（happy）。

33．B。下文提到他的父亲，可知是家庭（family），而不是：城市；街区；公司。

34．C。前句说他父亲的做法和想法，而他的做法和他父亲是一样的，当然他的感觉也一样了（same）。

35．A。后半句有but转折，且有“make a big difference”，根据对比关系可推知选small。

Soon math time was followed by the time for 43 . All children naturally drew 44 pictures, on such a day, except for Joe.

Since then, Joe started 45 . Though he never made it to the top, his math teacher was always 46 and curious about the change: Why had that stormy day changed Joe?

大意推测

第一部分（para.1）

all signs pointed to success； turned out；the fourth grade；struggled day and night

一个曾经很好的学生的成绩突然变得令人失望，四年级时成绩跌倒了谷底，纵使他自己也很努力。

第二部分（para.2--3）

Math teacher；difficult concepts; dark clouds covered the sky；the thunder won the battle；except for Joe；patted him on the back；explain how he had managed it；drew pictures

一次雨天的经历。数学课上雷声使得同学们不能集中注意力，但是Joe却掌握了老师讲的所有概念。老师鼓励他给同学们解释他怎样做到的。这次成功的经历使得Joe有一种成就感，他画的画能够体现出他内心的变化。

第三部分（para.4）

graduated；presented his possession；picture of a bright yellow sun；brightness

毕业那天，老师同学们看到了Joe珍藏的画：那幅明亮的太阳，给他带来了希望。

36．C。根据上文all signs pointed to success, 和yet可知情况发生了变化，不是朝向成功的方向，而是令人失望的（disappointing），所以选C。

37．D。由上题可知，情况是令人失望的，四年级时Joe的成绩甚至（even）在班里排在了最后，所以选择bottom, at the bottom of意为“在…底部”。

38．B。本句中Joe struggled day and night说明他很努力，后面的but提示虽然努力了，但是没有见效(work)，所以选B.

39．D。本句中表达的是在数学老师解释概念的时候发生的事情，所以用as引导时间状语从句。

40．A。根据the thunder won the battle for their attention可知雷声吸引了学生的注意力，也就是学生们不能集中注意 (concentrate)，所以选A。

41．B。上句中说到学生不能把注意力集中在老师讲的内容上，所以没有人能够掌握那些概念。根据上下文推断，答案为B。

42．C。上句中提到只有Joe能正确回答这些问题，所以老师拍拍他的背，让他向同学解释他是怎样做到的。本句中说的是Joe受到鼓励，在教室里来回穿梭。由此确定选C。

43．C。下句中all children drew pictures可知数学课之后是美术课。所以选C。

44．B。在下一个段落中的the picture of a bright yellow sun，以及except for Joe可知别的孩子画的都是暗淡颜色的画，只有Joe的画是明亮的。bright是解题的关键，所以选B。

45．A。本文在讲述Joe的转变过程。前面提到的是Joe 的成绩是disappointing，而这里在讲Joe开始转变，开始提高，所以选A。

46．B。本题的解题关键是空后的连词and和curious, 根据and可知要填空的词和后面的curious同义概念的词，所以选择amazed，意为又吃惊又好奇，所以选B。

47．D。做好本题的关键是通读全文，才能悟出答案的意义。这幅充满金色阳光的画，对于Joe 来讲是十分珍贵的，因为它改变了Joe的学习轨迹。所以选D。

48．A。上文中已经谈到这幅画是Joe的珍藏，那么可知在图画上他所写的字是：这是我见到光明的日子。wake up to 意识到。
