Navigating and surviving in this vast, remote wilderness, had proved almost impossible for these experienced sailors. And at times, even the ultimate ocean travelers need help. Natural harbours may be safe heavens for sailors, but for the migratory whales they can be death traps. One whale is still alive. Left like this, he will die within days. But he’s held fast. The only option left is to use nets. At last he’s free. But he’s not out of trouble yet. First, he must negotiate the rocky heads of the bay. His sensitive skin, never designed to touch rock, is badly lacerated. He is through and back into the safety of the endless blue.
PART B Role Play(角色扮演)
情景介绍
角色:你是学生
任务:(1)向英国老师询问英国人对旧物品的态度
(2)根据谈话内容回答问题
生词:registration plate 车牌
W: Doctor Brown, is it true that English people prefer old things to new ones?
M: I suppose so, the English are very fond of traditions.
W: I was thinking more about houses and other things.
M: It depends on what kind of old things you are talking about. I would always prefer to live in an old house with a garden than some new one. I used to live in a house that is over one hundred years old. It was really some thing I am proud of, so yes, on the whole, I think the English do prefer old things.
W: Why do you think that is the case?
M: Well, a lot of people feel not all things were much better made. It also goes better with old style houses. We think lots of modern furniture is poorly made.
三问部分
1.英国人喜欢旧车吗?
电脑回答: In fact, we love new cars. In England, people care much about the first letter of their car number.
2. 你什么意思呢?
电脑回答: In August, each year, there is a new letter before the number on the registration plate. For example, my car is an “M” registration, which means it was made in 2004. People love to have a really recent letter on their number plate. An English person would buy a brand new car and drive it if they had a lot of money.
3. 英国人不太在乎穿什么衣服,对吗?
电脑回答: We generally don’t care much about clothes, some are even quite proud that they find their clothes in second-hand shops. I guess this is mainly because in England what really matters is not clothes but background.

今年的英语情景作文难度略降,但开放作文审题具有一定难度。石娟分析,与去年情景作文所给图片动作较少、需要学生描摹情感相比,今年所给的图片已经有足够的动作供学生描写。今年学生的情景作文要想获得高分,必须保证语言质量,同时要注意心理和细节描写,并对事件的前因后果做出清晰联想。
今年的开放图片是一支长铅笔笑着对一支短铅笔说:“你快用完了”,立意明显偏向一种精神品质。这跟石景山区一模和朝阳区一模中所见到的“猪教鸡下蛋”和“鸡教鸭子游泳”具有一定的相似性,都是提倡谦虚、有自知之明的品质。
