71. 答案A
【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文讲述的是著名爱尔兰作家William Butler Yeats在文学方面所取得的成就。
E
Skeptics are a strange lot. Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them. Those people, say skeptics, spread nothing but bad news about the environment. The “eco-guilt” brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews.
Perhaps that explain why a new book by Bjorn Lomborg received so much publicity. That book, The Skeptical Environmentalist, declares that it measures the “real state of the world” as fine. Of course, another explanation is the deep pockets some big businesses with special interests. Indeed, Mr. Lomborg’s views are similar to those of some Industry-funded organizations, which start huge activities though the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming.
So it was strange to see Mr. Lomborg’s book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. One national newspaper in Canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that “After Lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.”
Such one-sided views should have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborg’s “preference for unexamined materials is incredible (不可信的)”。
A critical (批判的) eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions. Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests. People might become half-blind before a world partially exhibited by the media. That’s a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.
72. According to the passage, which of the following may be regarded as “skeptics”?
A. People who agree on the popularity of “eco-guilt”.
B. People who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet.
C. People who dislike the harmful effect of human activities.
D. People who spread comforting news to protect our environment.
73. Which of the following can be a reason for the popularity of Lomborg’s books?
A. Some big businesses intend to protect their own interests.
B. The book challenges views about the fine state of the world.
C. The author convinces people to seek comforting worldviews.
D. Industry–funded media present confusing information.
74. The author mentioned the review in Nature in order to_____.
A. voice a different opinion
B. find fault with Lomborg’s book
C. challenge the authority of the media
D. point out the value of scientific views.
75. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?
A. To encourage the skeptics to have a critical eye.
B. To warn the public of the danger of half–blindness with reviews.
C. To blame the media’s lack of responsibility in presenting information.
D. To show the importance of presenting overall information by the media.
【语篇解读】本文是议论文。全文提出一种社会现象：信息因为某种原因而不能全方位呈现给公众。作者希望媒体应该公正、客观、全面的向公众提供信息。
72. 答案B
【解析】推理判断题。根据Some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment,可知他们并不认为人类活动威胁着环境，即环境并非如有些人想象的那样糟糕。
73. 答案A
【解析】细节题。根据Of course, another explanation is the deep pockets some big businesses with special interests.可知。Unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests.也可以验证。
74. 答案A
【解析】写作意图。根据Such one-sided views should have immediately been challenged. But only a different review appeared in Nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. The review remarked that Mr. Lomborg’s “preference for unexamined materials is incredible (不可信的)”。可知之前观点是一边倒，唯有Nature的出现才有了不同的观点。
75. 答案D
【解析】写作意图。文章最后一段提到A critical (批判的) eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions，作者是希望媒体能够向公众提供更多的、全方位的信息，而不应该是片面的。
【评析】阅读，是英语考试的重头戏。要想英语考试中拿高分，既快又好地完成阅读是强力保证。速度和质量，两者缺一不可。本次高考英语阅读，从体裁内容上看，依然是故事记叙文(A篇)、事物说明文(B篇)、观点议论文(C篇、E篇)、人物介绍文(D篇)等。从题目类别上看，传统四大类题型如词汇题(56题)细节题(64题)主旨题(71题)推理题(74题)，新题型结构题并没有在此次考试中出现。今年考试阅读难度中等。
四、写作(共两节，满分35分)
第一节 短文改错(共10小题;每小题1份，满分10分)
以下标有题号的每一行均有一个错误，请找出，并按下列情况改正：
此行多一个词：把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉，在该行右边横线上写出该词，并也用斜线划掉。
此行缺一个词：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，在该行右边横线上写出该加的词。
此行错一个词：在错的词下划一横线，在该行右边横线上写出改正后的词。
注意：请在答题卡上作答。
Today is Sunday. I’ve been in Canada for two maonths.
This is the first time that I’ve been away my family for such a 76.
long time. With the help of Katia,a roommate of me, I’ve 77.
soon got used to live without my parents around. Katia, like 78.
many other Russian girls, are nice and lively. We become 79.
friends shortly after we meet each other. Although her English 80.
is a little hardly to understand, we enjoy charting and we 81.
usually talk a lot about our own. We are both surprised 82.
that Chinese culture or Russian culture are so different. Now, 83.
we are planning a small party for the next Sunday. There, Katia 84.
will introduce me to some of her friends, one of who has been 85.
to China several times. I just cant wait.
【解析】
76. 在away之后加from，固定搭配be away from。
77. me mine，代词误用，此处应是双重所有格，故用名词性物质代词。
78. live living，got used to “习惯于”中to是介词，后接名词或动词-ing形式。。
79. are is，考查主谓一致，句子的主语是Katia，like为介词，引导状语。
80. meet met，根据全文，时态应该是过去式。
81. hardly hard，误用hardly“几乎不”，此处应该表示“困难”。
82. family families，名词单复数。
83. or and，考查逻辑，此处应该是中国和俄罗斯的文化不同。
84. 去掉冠词the，此处next Sunday前不需用冠词。
85. who whom，定语从句中，介词of后只能跟whom或which。
【评析】今年的改错继承了重庆高考改错每行必错一个的惯例，名词单复数、时态、介词、冠词、连词等考点在历年重庆改错中常见的面孔悉数出现。唯独最后一题85题考句法，其余均考察词法。

【参考范文】
I’m a student from Xinhua Middle Scholl in Chongqing, China, and I’m very much interested in speaking for animals. You know I’m warm-hearted and have always been caring for animals in my life.
I would like to speak for dogs not only because dogs are my favorite animals, but also they are not treated properly. Devoted though dogs are to us human beings, we seldom think about what they need and care about. We just order them to do this or that, but hardly are we aware what we can do for them. In my opinion, it is high time we did something for our closest animal friends and lived a harmonious life with them.
Strongly hoping to be accepted to speak for animals.
【作文评析】
【评析】重庆高考英语作文自2005年来就摒弃了看图作文的体裁，采用记叙+议论的形式。从前5年的高考真题看来，作文均是提供背景，给出3-5条主要语言点，并提供一定程度的自由发挥空间，今年的作文也不例外。大家的老朋友李华此次申请担任国际动物保护协会的代言人，需写一篇申请书。与近几年的高考英语作文一脉相承，此次英语作文从体裁、内容、要求上均与以往相同。其中李华选择的动物可由学生自行决定，给了广大考生相当的自由度，相信考生们不会为字数等基本问题烦恼。
