2022年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（天津卷）全面考查了学科素养，试题整体难度与往年大体相同。无论从题目的难度，还是题型的设置上，基本都延续了往年的出题模式，重视对学生基础知识的考查，题型稳定，同时继续突出考查考生用英语分析问题和解决问题的能力。试题将文化自信、国际视野、人文情怀融入到考查中，体现了高考立德树人、培养考生良好品德、发展素质教育的目标。
2022年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（天津卷）题型为15（单项选择题）＋20（完形填空题）＋5（阅读表达题）＋1（书面表达题），其中书面表达不是电子邮件类应用文，而是要求考生为英语口语社的纳新视频写一段文宇稿。另外一个变化是从2017年开始增加的单项选择题，此题看似简单，但包含了词汇、固定搭配、词形变化和语法等多方面知识，着重考查学生的知识综合运用能力。要想在高考英语中取得好成绩，必须把英语词汇和语法学好，学好这些也是做好高考英语单选题的基础。

预测2023年单项填空部分考查内容仍然以谓语动词和非谓语动词为主，例如本卷第2、4、6、11题，推测会在语法项目定语从句中，增设‘介词+关系代词’引导定语从句的知识点一处，例如本卷第3题。
完形填空与往年形式和考察方式变化应不会太大，侧重点依旧放在学生对文章整体的理解能力上。选材上会保持叙事类文体，挖空处除少部分可以根据单独句子选出正确答案外，绝大部分文体都需要学生结合上下文对题目进行分析才能选出正确答案，会在部分题目中保留干扰性极强的错误选项。预测2023年完形填空仍然使用记叙文本，故本试卷完形填空采用一篇记叙文。完形填空在词汇和语篇整体理解上都有更高要求，例如本卷第22题diploma；credits；．Scholarship；identity 和30题occupied；．Embraced；equipped；diagnosed等。

注意事项：
1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。
2．回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。
3．回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。
4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。
第一部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）
第一节：单项填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）
从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
1．— I can drive you home.
— ______, but are you sure it’s not too much trouble?
A．Take care B．Don’t bother
C．I’m afraid not D．That would be great
【答案】D
【详解】考查交际用语。句意：——我可以开车送你回家。——太好了，但是你确定不会太麻烦吗？A. Take care小心；B. Don’t bother不用麻烦了；C. I’m afraid not恐怕不行；D. That would be great太好了。根据but可知，前后语义存在转折关系，“麻烦”为反向感情色瓷，应选一个正向感情色彩且语义连贯的选项，“太好了”符合语境。故选D项。
2．The development of new media, ________ from the internet to digital television，means that people working in advertising will have to come up with more ways to catch the public’s attention.
A．ranges B．ranged C．to range D．ranging
【答案】D
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：从互联网到数字电视等新媒体的发展，意味着从事广告工作的人将不得不想出更多方法来吸引公众的注意力。分析句子结构可知，means是谓语，that引导的是宾语从句，从句中的谓语是will have，所以此处应为非谓语动词，range与其逻辑主语the development of new media之间为主动关系，结合句意可知，此处表示的是当前的状态，所以使用现在分词形式作定语。故选D项。
3．They lived in a beautiful house, _________the windows were decorated with paper cuttings.
A．of which B．on which C．with which D．by which
【答案】A
【详解】考查定语从句关系词。句意：他们住在一所漂亮的房子里，房子的窗户都装饰着剪纸。分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是house，从句中缺少定语，应是the windows of house，所以应该用of which引导。故选A项。
4．A heavy snow hit our area for the first time this year, _________great inconvenience to traffic and transportation.
A．causing B．caused C．to cause D．having caused
【答案】A
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：今年我们地区第一次下暴雪，对交通运输造成极大不便。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词“hit”，故空处需要用非谓语动词形式，主语“A heavy snow”和“cause”之间是主动关系，故用现在分词作状语，此处不强调动作的先后，用一般式即可，故选A项。
5．The dictionary is ______: many words have been added to the language since it was published.
A．out of control B．out of date C．out of sight D．out of reach
【答案】B
【详解】考查介词短语辨析。句意：这本词典已经过时了：自从出版以来，这种语言又增加了许多单词。A. out of control失去控制；B. out of date过时；C. out of sight看不见；D. out of reach够不着。根据“many words have been added to the language since it was published”可知，该字典已经过时了。故选B。
6．When walking down the street, I came across David, when I _____ for years.
A．didn’t see B．haven’t seen C．hadn’t seen D．wouldn’t see
【答案】C
【详解】考查时态。句意：当我走在街上时，我遇到了大卫，那时我们已经多年未见了。结合语境“我没看见他”发生在“遇到”之前，即过去的过去，应用过去完成时。故选C。
7．Many experts thought that there is a definite between citizens’ heart problems and their ways of life.
A．consequence B．connection C．contact D．conscience
【答案】B
【详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：许多专家认为，市民的心脏问题和他们的生活方式有着明确的联系。A. consequence结果；B. connection关系、联系；C. contact接触；D. conscience良心。由“between citizens’ heart problems and their ways of life”可知，市民的心脏问题和他们的生活方式有相关联系。故选B项。
8．____ you recognize an idiom when it is being used, it is easy to misunderstand what you read or hear.
A．Although B．Because C．Unless D．While
【答案】C
【详解】考查连词词义辨析。句意：除非你在使用习语时认出了它，否则很容易误解你读到或听到的内容。A. Although虽然；B. Because因为；C. Unless除非；D. While尽管。由“it is easy to misunderstand what you read or hear”可知，句子表示“除非你在使用习语时认出了它，否则很容易误解你读到或听到的内容”，空格处意为“除非”，用unless，引导条件状语从句，故选C。
9．____ he had worked out the challenging math problem aroused our curiosity.
A．What B．How C．Which D．Where
【答案】B
【详解】考查主语从句。句意：他如何解出这道具有挑战性的数学题引起了我们的好奇心。分析句子可知，此处为主语从句，该主语从句的主语是he，谓语是had worked out，宾语是the challenging math problem，故空格处应填入连接副词作状语。根据句意，此处指“他如何解出这道具有挑战性的数学题”。故用how。故选B。
10．His comprehensive surveys have provided the most ________ statements of how, and on what basis, data are collected.
A．available B．original C．explicit D．formal
【答案】C
【详解】考查形容词词义辨析。句意：他的全面调查提供了最详尽的数据收集方式和依据。A. available可用的；B. original原始的；C. explicit详尽的，明确的；D. formal正式的。根据“of how, and on what basis, data are collected.”可知，是提供了详尽的的说明。故选C。

A．have been working B．had worked
C．will have been working D．will have worked
【答案】A
【详解】考查时态。句意：直到学生做了一个多小时，我才告诉学生这道数学题的答案。空处为时间状语从句的谓语动词，根据“for more than an hour”和语境可知，此处指动作从过去开始延续到现在，强调动作的持续性，应用现在完成进行时。故选A。
12．______ prize for the winner of the competition is ______ two-week holiday in England.
A．The; a B．不填; a C．不填; the D．The; 不填
【答案】A
【详解】考查冠词。句意：比赛获胜者的奖励是一个到英国度假两周的假期。分析句子可知，第一空格处缺少冠词，此处特指给获奖者的奖励，应使用定冠词the；第二空格处表示“一个两周的假期”，是泛指，应使用不定冠词a。故选A项。
13．—Brenda bought an iPhone 14 last week.
—Oh, really? How I wish I could get ______ as well!
A．one B．it C．that D．another
【答案】A
【详解】考查代词。句意：——Brenda上周买了一个iPhone 14。——噢，真的吗？我多么希望我也能买一个。one与that虽可用来指代同名异物，但one为泛指，相当于a/an+名词； that为特指，相当于the+名词。此处应是an iPhone 14。it指代同类同物；another（人，事物）又一个的，再一个的。故选C。
14．BYD Motor is designing more new models, ______ a 20 percent growth in sales this year.
A．eyeing B．eyes C．eyed D．having eyed
【答案】A
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：比亚迪汽车正在设计更多的新车型，希望今年的销量能增长20%。分析句子结构可知eye与逻辑主语BYD Motor is designing more new models构成主动关系，故用现在分词作状语。故选A。

A．So long B．No wonder C．Good luck D．Sounds great

Heroes Stamp Design Competition
Welcome to the Heroes Stamp Design Competition! Children aged 4-14years are invited to design a stamp. Eight designs will be chosen for this stamp series from the Royal Mail. One of the designs could be yours. There are 120 great prizes on offer for area winners and runners-up. Plus, cash prizes for the winning schools too.
Stamp Designing
The stamp design will be based on your hero or heroes of the coronavirus pandemic. The past year has been very difficult for so many people. There are countless frontline workers and volunteers who have continued to work tirelessly to keep the country moving.
Being a stamp designer is a very skilled job. One of the jobs of a stamp designer is to reduce the size of a picture to fit the stamp. When designing your stamp, have a think about what kind of image of your hero or heroes would make a good miniature (微型的) design for a stamp. The final stamps produced will be about 3.7cm wide×3.5cm high.
Things to consider
— Your stamp design must be drawn on the official competition entry form (报名表) which your teacher will give you.
— Your design must be your own original work.
— Drawings must be flat, so please don’t stick any materials or textures (纹理) to your design.
— Please use lots of colour (no black and white images) in your design.
— Please avoid using highlighter pens (荧光笔).
Good Luck
The closing date for the competition is 28th May. Please ask your teacher, or parent, for one of the official entry forms. You’re then ready to start designing! We can’t wait to see all of the amazing designs from gifted children across the country.

B
I was born in Monrovia, Liberia on March 13, 1977. In early 1990, a cruel civil war started in Liberia. The nation’s economic, political and social systems were destroyed. 250,000 people were killed and one million were displaced. More than 700,000 Liberians fled to neighboring countries to avoid the war. I am one of them.
Less fortunate refugees have been living in camps for more than 10 years. Children suffered the most damage; a high percentage of them were recruited as child soldiers—the boys were taken to fight.
I escaped to the bordering Ivory Coast after the death of my stepfather at the end of 1990. I watched the country go from peaceful and quiet to dangerous. In November 1993, I finally got to the United States and was reunited with my family. I received a full academic scholarship to college, where I obtained a degree in Electronic Communication. After graduating, I moved to Manhattan for my career in fashion. I never forgot how much suffering my fellow Liberians stood. To help those back home in Monrovia, I began donating to individuals, orphanages and women’s groups five years ago. Those efforts grew into The MacDella Cooper Foundation.
In 2004, I started The MacDella Cooper Foundation (MCF), an organization devoted to empowering Liberian youth, especially orphans and abandoned children, by providing education and basic necessities. My dream is to educate as many Liberian children as MCF can support, so that they can later contribute to the economic redevelopment of the country and to make sure Liberia’s history is not repeated. I believe that education is the saving grace of Liberia and Africa as a whole. But to promote education, we must first provide the basic needs—shelter, food, clothing and security.
In just a few short years, we have assisted foster homes and five orphanages in Monrovia. MCF has also reunited families and aided a young Liberian orphan needing medical treatment for cancer. Additionally, in December MCF holds an annual children’s Christmas party at the Susie Gunther Orphanage in Monrovia for more than 500 orphans. Each child receives a warm meal on Christmas day and a gift bag filled with toys and other necessities.
We’re very excited and honored to be part of the world community assisting in Liberia’s recovery. Our final goal is a strong, educated, and economically sound Liberia.
41．When the cruel civil war started in Liberia, the author ______.
A．stayed in a camp B．lived with all of her family
C．lived with her stepfather D．had decided to go for America
42．According to the text, the author could arrive in America in November 1993, and she should be very ______.

C
Nearly all parents want to raise confident children who believe strongly in their own abilities, but how exactly do you encourage your children to see themselves as intelligent and competent? Will calling your children “smart” help to improve confidence?
Research clearly shows that praising children for being “smart” is associated with more negative consequences than praising children for their effort. First, research finds that when children are praised for being “smart,” they tend to be less interested in the learning itself and more interested in the performance of themselves and others, as compared to children who are praised for their effort. In addition, when faced with failure, children praised for being “smart” tend to blame their failure on not being smart enough and are then more likely to just give up.
Children praised for “hard work” tend to conclude that they simply need to work harder when they fail, and thus they are more likely to be persistent. Children who are praised for being “smart” also tend to see intelligence as something they can’t change, while children praised for “hard work” are more motivated to keep learning or trying to do better.
Praising children for being “smart” may even promote cheating. Research finds that children who are referred to as “smart” are more likely to cheat than children praised for their performance (“You did very well this time.”), or not praised at all. The researchers guess that children who are called “smart” feel pressured to uphold this reputation so they cheat to make sure that their performance is consistent with being “smart”.
So try not to refer to your child as “smart” or any label that refers to their abilities. Research consistently finds that this type of “person praise” has a negative impact on motivation and persistence. Instead, praise children for their hard work and effort. You can also praise them for their focus on a task, persistence in something difficult, or the strategy they use, so instead of saying, “Wow, you are so smart,” try saying, “What a great idea to build a strong base for your tower before you started building!”
46．What is the finding of the research?
A．Praising children for their effort benefits them in many ways.
B．Calling children “smart” helps improve confidence.
C．Children praised for being “smart” tend to fail.
D．Intelligence is something that we can change.
47．Why are children called “smart” more likely to cheat?
A．They are more persistent when faced with failure.
B．They are more interested in performance than in learning.
C．They believe intelligence is something that can’t be changed.
D．They feel the need to maintain their reputation as being “smart”.
48．Which of the following would the author agree with in praising children?
A．You are so good at math.
B．Wow, you are so excellent.
C．I love it when you challenge yourself with reading.
D．You are a talented singer and can easily outperform most others.
49．What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A．The negative consequences of praising children for being “smart”.
B．The relationship between “smart” praise and cheating in children.
C．The strategies of praising children for their hard work and effort.
D．The benefits of praising children for their persistence and focus.
50．What message does the author want to convey in the passage?
A．Calling a child “smart” may not be beneficial for him.
B．Children praised for being “smart” perform better.
C．Praise can make children more confident.
D．Parents should praise their children less.
【答案】46．A    47．D    48．C    49．C    50．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出表扬孩子“聪明”比表扬孩子努力带来更多的负面后果，建议家长表扬孩子的努力、专注、坚持等。
46．细节理解题。根据第三段“Children praised for “hard work” tend to conclude that they simply need to work harder when they fail, and thus they are more likely to be persistent. Children who are praised for being “smart” also tend to see intelligence as something they can’t change, while children praised for “hard work” are more motivated to keep learning or trying to do better.(那些被称赞“努力”的孩子往往会认为，他们只是需要在失败时更加努力，因此他们更有可能坚持不懈。被称赞为“聪明”的孩子也倾向于认为智力是他们无法改变的，而被称赞为“努力学习”的孩子更有动力继续学习或努力做得更好)”可知，表扬孩子“努力”在很多方面都对孩子有好处。故选A。
47．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“The researchers guess that children who are called “smart” feel pressured to uphold this reputation so they cheat to make sure that their performance is consistent with being “smart”.(研究人员猜测，那些被称为“聪明”的孩子迫于压力要保持这种声誉，所以他们会作弊，以确保他们的表现与“聪明”相符)”可知，那些被称赞“聪明”的孩子更有可能作弊，是因为他们觉得有必要保持自己“聪明”的声誉。故选D。
48．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Instead, praise children for their hard work and effort. You can also praise them for their focus on a task, persistence in something difficult, or the strategy they use, so instead of saying, “Wow, you are so smart,” try saying, “What a great idea to build a strong base for your tower before you started building!”(相反，要表扬孩子的努力。你也可以赞扬他们对一项任务的专注，对困难的坚持，或者他们使用的策略，所以不要说，“哇，你真聪明”，试着说，“在开始建造之前为你的塔建立一个坚固的基础是多么好的主意!”)”可知，作者认为要表扬孩子的努力、专注、坚持、他们使用的策略等。由此推知C项“我喜欢你用阅读挑战自己”是作者赞成的表扬孩子的做法，因为这属于对困难的坚持。故选C。
49．主旨大意题。根据最后一段的“Instead, praise children for their hard work and effort. You can also praise them for their focus on a task, persistence in something difficult, or the strategy they use, so instead of saying, “Wow, you are so smart,” try saying, “What a great idea to build a strong base for your tower before you started building!”(相反，要表扬孩子的努力。你也可以赞扬他们对一项任务的专注，对困难的坚持，或者他们使用的策略，所以不要说，“哇，你真聪明”，试着说，“在开始建造之前为你的塔建立一个坚固的基础是多么好的主意!”)”可知，本段主要介绍了表扬孩子努力的策略。故选C。
50．细节理解题。通读全文，并结合第二段的“Research clearly shows that praising children for being “smart” is associated with more negative consequences than praising children for their effort. (研究清楚地表明，表扬孩子“聪明”比表扬孩子的努力带来更多的负面后果)”，第三段的“Children who are praised for being “smart” also tend to see intelligence as something they can’t change(被称赞为“聪明”的孩子也倾向于认为智力是他们无法改变的)”，和第四段的“Praising children for being “smart” may even promote cheating.(表扬孩子“聪明”甚至可能助长作弊行为)”可知，作者通过这篇文章传达的信息是说一个孩子“聪明”可能带来负面后果，即这种做法对孩子没有好处。故选A。
D
Japan is getting tough with recycling— and not in the paper and plastic kind of way. Recently, the country requires that all electronic goods—TVs, VCRs, stereos, and more be recycled. But recycling will not be left to consumers, instead, the devices will be sent to the original manufacturer for proper disposal.
The new law poses a few challenges to manufacturers who are now rushing to set up collection networks and perfecting techniques to take apart and recycle older products. With an eye toward the future, they are also integrating easily recycled materials into new products. Plastics, a major component of most electronic products, pose a particular obstacle because their quality becomes worse and worse with age, losing strength and flexibility even if reprocessed. NEC Corp. overcomes this problem by creating a plastics sandwich, in which the filling is 100 percent recycled plastic and the outer layers a mixture of 14 percent recycled material. The resulting plastic has sufficient strength and toughness for use as a case for desktop PCs. The company, in cooperation with plastic maker Sumitomo Dow, has also developed a new plastic, which engineers claim keeps its mechanical properties through repeated recycling. NEC uses the plastic, which is also flame-retardant（阻燃的）in battery cases for notebook PCs.
Meanwhile, Matsushita Electric, maker of the Panasonic brand, is avoiding plastic in favor of magnesium（镁）. Magnesium, says the company, is ideal for recycling because it retains its original strength through repeated reprocessing. Matsushita has developed molding techniques to form magnesium into the case for a 21-inch TV.
Unfortunately, the magnesium case and energy-saving features make the TV about twice as expensive as an ordinary model. The company hopes, however, that increased use of magnesium will eventually bring prices down.
51．According to the present regulations of Japan, the recycling of paper and plastic will be the responsibility of _______.
A．the government B．the manufacturers C．the consumers D．the sellers
52．Which of the following is NOT the character of plastics?
A．Most electronic products contain plastics.
B．It keeps its original strength through reprocessing.
C．Recycled plastics can be integrated into new products.
D．Plastics will lose flexibility after a certain period of time.
53．According to the passage, the term “plastic sandwich” refers to _______.
A．a kind of sandwich-shaped toy made of plastics
B．a kind of plastics with different integration in each layer
C．a kind of plastics with maximum strength and flexibility
D．a kind of plastics made of 100% recycled materials
54．It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A．selling plastics is the only business of NEC Corp
B．magnesium is an ideal material for making notebook PCs
C．21-inch TV with magnesium case isn’t very popular so far
D．magnesium must be better than the plastics
55．The author writes this passage in order to_______.
A．inform B．direct C．predict D．persuade
【答案】51．C    52．B    53．B    54．C    55．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍日本的电子产品再循环使用的一些新变化和新技术。
51．推理判断题。根据第一段“Japan is getting tough with recycling— and not in the paper and plastic kind of way.(日本在回收利用方面越来越强硬，但不是纸张和塑料那种方式。)”和“But recycling will not be left to consumers, instead, the devices will be sent to the original manufacturer for proper disposal.(但回收的工作不会留给消费者，相反，这些设备将被送往原制造商进行妥善处理。)”可知，本段首句提到了电子产品的回收利用与纸张和塑料不同；本段最后一句中的but表明了以上不同点在于电子产品的回收不依靠消费者，而依靠生产者。结合以上两点，可以推断纸张和塑料的回收利用主要靠消费者。故选C。
52．细节理解题。根据第二段“Plastics, a major component of most electronic products, pose a particular obstacle because their quality becomes worse and worse with age, losing strength and flexibility even if reprocessed.(塑料是大多数电子产品的主要组成部分，它构成了一个特别的障碍，因为它们的质量随着时间的推移会越来越差，即使再加工也会失去强度和灵活性。)”可知，塑料通过再加工会失去强度。故选B。
53．词句猜测题。根据第二段“NEC Corp. overcomes this problem by creating a plastics sandwich, in which the filling is 100 percent recycled plastic and the outer layers a mixture of 14 percent recycled material. (日本电气公司发明了一种塑料三明治，解决了这个问题，它的填充物是100%的回收塑料，外层是14%的回收材料的混合物。)”可知，本句是一个非限制性定语从句，是plastics sandwich 的定义，并结合三明治的特征可知，这种“塑料三明治”指的是一种在每一层都有不同集成的塑料。故选B。
54．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Unfortunately, the magnesium case and energy-saving features make the TV about twice as expensive as an ordinary model. (不幸的是，镁合金外壳和节能功能使这款电视机的价格是普通型号的两倍左右。)”可推断，到目前为止，镁壳的21英寸电视很贵，还不太受欢迎。故选C。
55．推理判断题。根据全文可知，文章主要介绍日本的电子产品再循环使用的一些新变化和新技术。从而推断，作者只是客观地描述亊实，告知读者这一客观情况。故选A。

第一节：阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
One morning in 2007, Parthasarathy—we usually called him Partha—came to meet me. He was disabled and was not an engineer but had majored in a computer course in college. I told Partha, “I’d like to employ people like you.” In fact, it turned out to be the right decision to employ him. Partha had an amazing enthusiasm and his disability did not stop him from improving himself. I was not doing any charity by employing him because my company benefited more from Partha. I have realized that physically challenged people are more faithful than others but unfortunately we usually pay scant attention to them.
At that time our office was on the first floor and Partha had difficulty dealing with the stairs. Seeing him struggle, I decided to make the entire office disabled-friendly. Our ground floor is now intended for the disabled people, and we have special toilets for them. We have also built houses for them near the office so that they can avoid long travelling hours.
After meeting Partha, I decided to hire more disabled people. We waited six months to get another disabled person who then became our receptionist.
I don’t regard employing disabled people as charity. I consider it my responsibility. The country has spent much money educating me and I feel it is time for me to do something as a reward.
It is great to work with them. Seeing them work, get married, settle in life and have children is a wonderful experience.
We have 550 employees now, and 20 percent of them are disabled. We go to Engineering Colleges looking for disabled people but only to find one or two in each college. Parents don’t send them out. The biggest challenge for the physically disabled is the attitude of their parents, but we hire them even if they are not engineers.
56．What kind of person was Partha? (No more than 10 words)
___________________________________________________________
57．What does the underlined word “scant” in the 1st paragraph mean? (No more than 2 words)
___________________________________________________________
58．Why is the ground floor intended for the disabled people? (No more than l2 words)
___________________________________________________________
59．How many disabled workers are there in the writer’s company now? (No more than 2 words)
___________________________________________________________
60．Do you agree to the writer’s plan to employ more disabled people? And why? (No more than 30 words)
___________________________________________________________
【答案】56．Partha was disabled but didn’t stop improving himself.   
 57．Little. / Not enough.    58．Because the disabled have difficulty dealing with the stairs.    
59．110.    
60．Yes. Because it is our duty to reward the country and the disabled need chances to make full use of their skills to improve themselves.
【导语】本文是记叙文。文章介绍作者的公司聘用了一些残疾人，这不是做慈善，作者认为身体残疾的人比其他人更加有信念，而且这也是他回报社会的方式。
56．考查细节理解。根据第一段的句子“Partha had an amazing enthusiasm and his disability did not stop him from improving himself. (帕萨有着惊人的热情，他的残疾并没有阻止他提高自己。)”可知，Partha是个残疾人，但是没有停止提高自己。故填Partha was disabled but didn’t stop improving himself.
57．考查词义猜测。根据第一段的句子“I have realized that physically challenged people are more faithful than others but unfortunately we usually pay scant attention to them．(我意识到，身体有缺陷的人比其他人更忠诚，但不幸的是，我们通常付出scant关注他们。)”可知，but表示转折可推断，作者认为身体残疾的人比其他人更加有信念，但是我们不够关注他们，从but unfortunately也看出这个单词的意思是：不足，几乎没有，故填Little./Not enough．
58．考查细节理解。根据第二段的句子“At that time our office was on the first floor and Partha had difficulty dealing with the stairs. Seeing him struggle, I decided to make the entire office disabled-friendly. Our ground floor is now intended for the disabled people, and we have special toilets for them. (当时我们的办公室在一楼，帕萨很难爬楼梯。看到他的挣扎，我决定让整个办公室都对残疾人友好。我们的一楼现在是为残疾人准备的，我们有专门的厕所。)”可知作者的公司的第一层为残疾人设计，因为他们爬楼梯不方便。故填Because the disabled have difficulty dealing with the stairs.
59．考查细节理解。根据最后一段的句子“We have 550 employees now，and 20 percent of them are disabled. ( 我们现在有550名员工，其中20%是残疾人。)”可知，作者的公司有110个残疾人，故填110。
60．这是一道开放题，考生可以自由发挥，但是提倡积极的答案。参考答案：可以表示同意，并给出理由，根据倒数第三段的“I consider it my responsibility. The country has spent much money educating me and I feel it is time for me to do something as a reward. (我认为这是我的责任。国家花了很多钱教育我，我觉得是时候做点什么作为回报了。)”可给出理由，回报国家是我们的职责，残疾人需要机会利用他们的技能提高自己。故填Yes. Because it is our duty to reward the country and the disabled need chances to make full use of their skills to improve themselves.
