2009屆高考數(shù)學(xué)第二輪專題復(fù)習(xí)系列(3)――算法與數(shù)列
一 大綱解讀
考試大綱對數(shù)列的考查要求是:1.?dāng)?shù)列的概念和簡單表示法(1)了解數(shù)列的概念和幾種簡單的表示方法(列表、圖象、通項公式).(2)了解數(shù)列是自變量為正整數(shù)的一類特殊函數(shù).2 等差數(shù)列、等比數(shù)列:(1)理解等差數(shù)列、等比數(shù)列的概念;(2)掌握等差數(shù)列、等比數(shù)列的通項公式與前n項和公式;(3)能在具體的問題情境中,識別數(shù)列的等差關(guān)系或等比關(guān)系,并能用等差數(shù)列、等比數(shù)列的有關(guān)知識解決相應(yīng)的問題;(4)了解等差數(shù)列與一次函數(shù)的關(guān)系,等比數(shù)列與指數(shù)函數(shù)的關(guān)系.w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m
考試大綱對算法的考查要求是:1.算法的含義、程序框圖(1)了解算法的含義,了解算法的思想;(2)理解程序框圖的三種基本邏輯結(jié)構(gòu):順序、條件分支、循環(huán).2.基本算法語句,了解幾種基本算法語句――輸入語句、輸出語句、賦值語句、條件語句、循環(huán)語句的含義.
在數(shù)列中要求理解和掌握的是等差數(shù)列和等比數(shù)列的概念、通項公式與前n項和公式,特別要注意的是“能在具體的問題情境中,識別數(shù)列的等差關(guān)系或等比關(guān)系,并能用等差數(shù)列、等比數(shù)列的有關(guān)知識解決相應(yīng)的問題”,這說明對等差數(shù)列和等比數(shù)列的考查會是全方位的,這里也含有可以轉(zhuǎn)化為這兩類基本數(shù)列的遞推數(shù)列問題。
在算法中要求理解的是“程序框圖的三種基本邏輯結(jié)構(gòu):順序、條件分支、循環(huán)”.這說明考查的主要問題是程序框圖,特別是帶有循環(huán)結(jié)構(gòu)的程序框圖。
二 高考預(yù)測
縱觀近幾年的高考試題, 數(shù)列這一塊考查的重點是等差數(shù)列、等比數(shù)列的通項公式和前項和公式的靈活應(yīng)用, 突出考查觀察、分析、歸納、猜想問題的能力,數(shù)列推理題成了新的命題熱點。題型基本上是一個解答題和1個選擇填空題.解答題的難度偏大,是試卷中以能力考查為主的一種題型,這類考題往往綜合考查數(shù)學(xué)知識,數(shù)學(xué)方法和數(shù)學(xué)思想方法;小題則考查數(shù)列的有關(guān)基本知識。預(yù)計09年高考數(shù)列題目仍然有極大的可能還是這種狀況.
算法在高考試卷中07、08兩年,都是以小題的形式出現(xiàn)的,其考查的重點是程序框圖,特別是帶有循環(huán)結(jié)構(gòu)的程序框圖,由于教材的原因,基本算法語句,算法案例還沒在高考試卷中出現(xiàn)過.可以預(yù)計09年的高考算法的考題極大的可能還是一個以程序框圖為主的小題.

It was a bright spring afternoon when Freda told me she wouldn’t need me any more. I had just finished my four-hour work- 31 up and down the stairs of her three-storey home cleaning the floor and washing the dishes. She was 32 jeans and a sweater, sitting at the table I had just 33 , a pile of papers spread around her. Her husband’s 34 was going to be reduced by thirty percent, and they were trying to live as if it had 35 happened. I felt sorry for her, but I also felt a sense of 36 .
I had been cleaning Freda’s house for five years and had 37 an unexpected relationship with the family. It was not just 38 I had become an expert at scraping (刮掉) dirt stuck to their wooden floor, 39 that I had learned exactly how to place toys on the girls’ beds. It was 40 than that, for I felt I had become a part of their 41 .
Freda stayed at home with the kids, 42 I would often see her in the morning 43
them to school. And I’d be there when they 44 home at lunch for sandwiches and piano practice. I had 45 them grow up. Now I was fired, but the 46 thing was that I still wanted to keep scraping away the dirt and dust for the family.
I left Freda’s house that day, wondering about the 47 of my relationship with my clients (主顧). Who am I 48 them? As a matter of fact, I’m 49 an employee-the lowest kind of employee. But I’m also a trusted 50 of the family. I can’t help worrying about what happens around me.

Other aspects of our commitment to the automobile also bear mentioning here. It takes a great deal of energy to manufacture one automobile-about 150 million BTU's of energy. This is equivalent (相等的) to 1,200 gallons of gasoline, enough to run a car for about 1,600 miles. We expend(消耗) energy in the process of shipping cars from factories to showrooms, displaying them for sale and making replacement parts for repairs. One out of six jobs in the nation is associated with the automobile business. About two gallons of gasoline are consumed in the process of making every ten gallons that are pumped into an automobile's gas tank.
Building highways and parking lots has used up much of our land. It has been estimated that we have paved over 21,000 square miles of this country's surface, and most of it to accommodate the automobile. The automobile is also the largest contributor to our nation's air pollution problem and a very serious one because most of its pollutants(污染物質(zhì)) are emitted(散發(fā)) in our large metropolitan(城區(qū)的) areas.
51. To make an automobile, we need .
A. 75 billion gallons of gasoline B. 150 million BTU's of energy
C. 1,200 gallons of gasoline D. 800 gallons of petroleum
52. The underlined word “quench” in this passage means .
A. stop B. satisfy C. reduce D. cool
53. The main idea of this passage is .
A. what the automobile costs and brings B. how to make the automobile
C. the energy the automobile costs D. the problem the automobile has brought
54. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. America has more than 50 percent of the world's cars.

Research on the human brain has been attracting more and more scientists in recent years, just like the booming hi-tech industry. One of the latest research topics is how to change the human brain or combine the computer and the human brain, i. e. to transplant a chip into human brain. This may make everyone's dream come true. If we compare a human brain to a hard disc, what the scientists are doing is to enlarge the applicable capacity of the hard disc. For the time being, there are some difficulties in such transplant experiments, but scientists never give up.
Experiments have started on
animals. In 2003, a transplanted experiment performed in the
The dolphin was named Ted, and the bear was named Tallin. Using the most advanced technology available deep and detailed images were made of the memory area in Ted's brain containing information about swimming by the scientists. They obtained a series of useful information, the signals transferred by the nervous system. Such information was saved into a button-sized chip, which was then transplanted into the action memory area in Tallin's brain. The information saved on the chip was released by means of electric power.
Recently, another comprehensive(復(fù)雜的) memory transplanted was performed at the Motor Nerve Research Institute of the University of California. The memory transplanted in the experiment included actions, moods, logic, words, images, etc. The experiment involved an entire transplant of the memory area. This was what the largest such experiment done so far.
The transplant was performed making a transfer from a dog named “Genius” to a dog named “Idiot”. “Genius” could understand and follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius in memorizing. “Idiot” was the younger brother of “Genius”. It had no contact with people at all since its birth. It became an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory.
The operation was a complete success. When the two dogs woke up, “Idiot” had grasped all the abilities “Genius” possessed; it was good at memorizing and sensible. It could follow every gesture and any command given by its master. But “Genius” gave no response to its master, and in fact did not recognize him at all.
55. The purpose of the experiment is .
A. to combine the computer and the human brain
B. to make bear swim
C. to make some stupid dog turn clever
D. to enlarge the applicable capacity of human brain
56. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The scientists transferred a button-sized chip with useful information in Tallin's brain.
B. The comprehensive memory transplant
was performed at the
C. The second experiment wasn’t an entire transplant of the memory area.
D. The Idiot was an animal with memory before brain experiment.
57. What does the underlined word “success” refer to?
A. The two dogs woke up.
B. They were both good at memorizing.
C. The Idiot grasped all the abilities of Genius.
D. The Genius grasped all the abilities of the Idiot.
58. According to the text, we can infer .
A. a person can know more after the experiment
B. a bear can swim after being transferred a chip with relevant useful information
C. a dog can become clever after entire transplant of the memory area
D. any animal is more clever than before
C
Why are so many people afraid of failure? Quite because no one tells us failure is an experience that will lead to growth. We forget that failure is part of the human condition and that every people has the right to fail.
Most parents work hard at preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her child's hastily made(急速趕制成的) table as “perfect” even though it doesn't stand still. Another way is to shift (轉(zhuǎn)移) blame. If John fails science. His teacher is unfair or stupid.
The trouble with failure-prevention devices(方法) is that they leave a child unequipped for life in the real world. The young need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time-and that it's possible to enjoy a game even when you don't win. A child who's not invited to a birthday party feels terrible, of course. But parents should not offer a quick consolations(安慰), prize or say, “It doesn't matter.” The young should be allowed to experience disappointment-and be helped to master it.
Failure is never pleasurable. It hurts grown-ups and children alike. But it can make a positive contribution to your life once you learn to use it. Ask yourself “Why did I fail?” Don't blame someone else. Ask yourself what you did wrong, how you can improve. If someone else can help, don't be shy about inquiring.
Success is not nearly as good as a teacher as failure. Even a failure that seems definitive can cause fresh thinking, a change of direction. After 12 years of studying ballet a friend of mine got an interview with a professional company. She was turned down. “Would further train help?” she asked. The ballet master shook his head. “You will never be a dancer,” he said. “You haven't the body for it.”
In such cases, the way to use failure is to take stock bravely and ask, “What have I left? What else can I do?” My friend put away her shoes and moved into dance treatment center, a field where she's both able and useful. Failure frees one to take risks because there's less to lose. Often there is recovery of energy-a way to find new possibilites.
59. The second paragraph tells us .
A. how a mother should praise her child
B. Two ways of failure prevention
C. how to shift blame
D. parents should blame their children at the proper time
60. According to the author, what should a child know in the real world?
B. No one can be best all the time at everything.
C. No parents should offer quick consolation.
D. He can get pleasure from failure as well as success.
61. What can make a contribution to one's life once he learns to use it?
A. Success. B. Sadness. C. Failure. D. Value.
62. After the writer's friend was turned down, she .
A. lost heart and was at a loss B. continued further train
C. began to ask for help from experts D. turned to a new field

The
temple was built around
After
the temple was completed, it became the center of Buddhist worship in the
The temple remained hidden until Mr. Raffles and his men uncovered it again in the 1800s. However, after Mr. Raffles left Java, working on the temple was carried on without much interest. Collectors of ancient artifacts stole priceless treasures from the temple, and soon, all work on the temple came to a standstill. People living in the area began using stones from the temple to build and repair their homes. Nature also began to wear away the uncovered parts of the temple through wind and rain.
In 1900, with Java under Dutch control, an engineer named Dr. Theodore Van Erp was given the job of saving and rebuilding the temple. However, two world wars and a limited supply of money made his work stop. In 1973,the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization(UNESCO) stepped in and began the Borobudur Restoration Project.
It
was difficult to complete the full rebuilding of the temple. It took 700 men 10
years to rebuild the temple and it cost $ 25 million. When the
thousand-year-old temple was finally reopened, the President of Indonesia said
through the use of modern technology, “

I told her it was here that I bought the coat yesterday. Then she admitted it but refused to change it. I was very angry and quarreled with her. Just then the manager came out. First he said “Hello” to me, then he asked about what was the matter. After he knew about all this, he said “sorry” to me and criticized the girl. At last they changed another one for me.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.
Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap.
Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go some place to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!
46. The passage tells us _______ have a communication problem.
A. parents and other people
B. school kids and their parents
C. teachers and their students
D. parents and children of all ages
47. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you _______.
A. don’t get to them often B. write a letter to them
C. don’t speak to them politely D. express yourself well
48. The underlined phrase “cool off” in the passage means “_______”.
A. to make yourself happy B. to get you quiet and relaxed(放松)
C. to have a good rest D. to hide yourself quickly
49. If there’s really a generation gap between you and your parents, you’d better _____.
A. have a talk with them often B. keep away from them
C. agree with them all the time D. argue with them
50. From the passage we learn that _______.
A. parents and children should not have a generation gap

C. there are some good ways to bridge the generation gap
D. there are so many serious problems in families today
C
The world economy has run into a brick wall. Despite countless warnings in recent years about the need to address a potential(潛在的) hunger crisis in poor countries and an energy crisis worldwide, world leaders failed to think ahead. The result is a global food crisis. Wheat, corn and rice prices have more than doubled in the past two years. And oil prices have increased more than three times since the start of 2004. These food-price increases, together with increasing energy costs, will slow down if not stop economic growth in many parts of the world and will even affect political stability(穩(wěn)定). Practical solutions to these problems do exist, but we'll have to start thinking ahead and acting globally.
Here are three steps to
ease the current food crisis and avoid the potential for a global crisis. The first
is to promote the dramatic success of
Second, the U.S. and
Third, we urgently need to weather-proof the world's crops as soon and as effectively as possible. For a poor farmer, sometimes something as simple as a farm pond ― which collects rainwater to be used in dry weather ― can make the difference between a good harvest and a bad one. The world has already promised to establish a Climate Adaptation Fund to help poor regions climate-proof vital economic activities such as food production and health care but has not yet acted upon the promise.
51. An
international fund based on the
A. cost each of the developed countries $10 billion per year
B. aim to double the harvest in southern African countries in a year
C. decrease the food prices as well as the energy prices
D. give poor farmers access to fertilizer and highly productive seeds
52. With the second step, the author expresses the idea that ______.
A. it is not wise to change food crops into gas
B. it is misleading to put tree crops into the gas tank
C. we should get alternative(可供選擇的)forms of fuel in any way
D. biofuels should be developed on a large scale
53. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. A rain-collecting pond is a simple safeguard against dry weather
B. A Climate Adaptation Fund has been established to help the poor
C. The world has made a serious promise to build farm ponds.
D. It makes a great difference whether we develop wood products or not.
54. The writer’s purpose of writing the passage is ______.
A. to warn the world of a potential hunger crisis in poor countries
B. to address a potential hunger crisis in poor countries and an energy crisis worldwide
C. to give advice on how to relieve the global food shortage
D. to establish a Climate Adaptation Fund to help poor regions
55. In the passage, the author calls on us to______.
A. slow down but not to stop economic.
B. develop tree crops, grasses and wood products
C. achieve economic growth and political stability
D. act now so as to relieve the potential global food shortage

請根據(jù)以下任務(wù)說明和寫作要求,寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。(請將該部分答案寫在答題卷上)
[任務(wù)要求]
閱讀下面的短文。
As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.
Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?
Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it’s impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.
In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.
You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.
As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.

My Ideal Job
As is mentioned in the passage, it’s a big challenge for everybody to make his/her dream come true. In order to realize it, he/she is expected to be clear about his/her dream and then keep on pursuing it.
When it comes to the dream, which is a
big topic, we young students prefer to our ideal jobs in the future. There are
various kinds of jobs in the world and people choose different jobs as their
ideal careers. This happens mainly for the reason that everyone has his own
interest.
As for me, I
have been dreaming of being a guide for a long time. First, I am
fond of travelling so much that I want to get a job about tourism. Secondly,
good guides are knowledgeable, meanwhile, they have wide vision. Finally, guide
can constantly expand his knowledge and understand lots of customs about
different cultures and countries.
To achieve my dream of being a qualified guide, I have to make sufficient preparations. Fro one thing, I must learn my subjects well, such as geography, history, art and so on and travel a lot at my spare time, just as a famous saying goes: “Seeing is believing.” For another, I should improve my oral-describing ability so that I can express my feelings fluently, introduce the places of interest clearly and communicate well with my travellers .
Being a good guide is difficult, but I believe if I devote myself to it, I’ll be successful sooner or later.

閱讀下列三篇短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
I am an e-mail user. When I first started to use the e-mail system I used to read all my e-mail. I didn’t have much mail. I was very excited about receiving any e-mail. I gave my friends my e-mail address. Soon I had more mail than I wanted. Some of the mail was junk mail. I was worried. I didn’t want my mail to control me.
I’ve tried some methods to help me get control of my mail. First, I check my mail at the same time every day. Also I try to allow myself only 15-20 minutes every day to process my e-mail. This doesn’t always work, but I try. Sometimes I save the messages. Sometimes I just read them, maybe answer a few, and then delete them.
Sometimes I’m not at all interested in a message, so I don’t even open it. I delete it right away. This is very much the way I go through the mail that the postal service delivers to my home.
These methods are very simple. I have some friends who are very clever with computers. From time to time, they teach me new tricks for managing my e-mail. I’ve also learned to transfer some messages to a disk so they don’t fill up my mail files. Then I can read them later and maybe use them in my work. I’m still amazed at what e-mail can do for me! I’m still worried, however, about having too much to read.

Betty and Harold have been married for years. But one thing still puzzles old Harold. How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ballgame, come back three and half hours later, and they’re still sitting on the sofa? Talking?
What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about?
Betty shrugs. Talk? We’re friends.
Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist(心理學(xué)家)Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their ages, their jobs, their sexes are, the results were completely clear: women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is “marked and unmistakable.”
More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost always it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress(情緒緊張). “Most women, ” says Rubin, “identified at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives.”
“In general,” writes Rubin in her new book, “women’s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men’s relationships are marked by shared activities. ” For the most part, Rubin says, interactions(交往)between men are emotionally controlled―a good fit with the social requirements of “manly behavior.”
“Even when a man is said to be a best friend, ” Rubin writes, “the two share little about their innermost feelings. Whereas a woman’s closest female friend might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn’t unusual to hear a man say he didn’t know his friend’s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa.”
