2015年江苏省南通市中考英语试卷-答案
江苏省南通市2015年初中毕业、升学考试英语答案解析第Ⅰ卷一、单项选择1.【答案】B【解析】根据句意“Jack,一位美国老师”可知第一个空为泛指,表示数量为一用a,an表示泛指,形容词或者名词前面加冠词a还是an要看紧挨着的单词的首字母的音素,如果是元音音素就要填an,如果是辅音音素就要填A. American音标为[əˈmerɪkən],首字母a的音素是元音音素,所以必须使用an来修饰。
此外,介词by后面跟交通工具时,不加任何冠词。
故选B2.【答案】C【解析】第一个设空处的时间是9月10号,具体到某一天,应该用介词on;第二个设空处的时间是5月,考查月份前面的介词,用in,in+年、月、季节等;on+具体的某一天或某一天的上午/下午/晚上。
故选C 3.【答案】D【解析】根据big success可知,感叹修饰的中心词是名词,应该用What引导;又根据感叹句的句式:What+a/an+形容词+单数名词+主+谓,success是可数名词单数形式,而big是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以前面加冠词a,故选D4.【答案】C【解析】根据this year可知,此处表示比较的范围是“今年”,要用形容词的最高级;形容词最高级的表达是:the+形容词最高级+in/of+比较的范围。
又根据I hear it's not easy to get a ticket for Fast & Furious 7和Exactly 可知,“我听说买到《速度与激情7》的票不容易”,说明是“令人激动的一部电影”,所以要用形容词exciting最高级形式是most exciting,并且形容词最高级前要加定冠词the,意思是“最令人激动的”,故选C5.【答案】B【解析】选项A:孰能生巧;选项B:众人拾柴火焰高;选项C:不鸣则已一鸣惊人,祸不单行;选项D:凡人皆有开心日,风水轮流转。
根据题干We can give you a helping hand(我们可以帮你),故选B6.【答案】A【解析】根据题意,从前半句“这种情况不会得以改变”和后半句“人类停止猎杀”。

tomorrow?"Donna was a shy girl and I wanted her to make some friends to bring her out of her shell."Sure,honey,that sounds great."I said,thinking back to my own best friend,Lillian.We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights,New York.We met at the age of 10,too.Like my daughter,I was shy,but Lillian drew me out.She was one of the friendliest people in school,with shiny black hair and amile﹣wide smile.In senior high school,Lillian went on a trip to Florida.This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days."I'll be back soon."she told me.But three days later,Lillian's sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn't come out any more.Soon,my family moved to New Jersey.Whenever I thought of her,tears came into my eyes.The next day Donna brought her new friend home."Hi,Mrs.Loggia."the little girl said.Her hair was so shiny and black and she shot me a big smile."My name is Laura."My daughter's new friend was so much like Lillian.I was still puzzled (迷惑)when Laura's mom came to pick her up later that afternoon.I opened the door to let her in."Judy!"she cried."It's me,Lillian's sister,from Washington Heights."Yes,my

death.19.(8分)We may know that there are four basic periods for human beings to pass through when you enter and live in another country.This process (变化过程)helps you deal with culture shock (文化冲击).Culture shock begins with the"honeymoon period":This is the time when you first arrive in a place where everything about the new cu1ture is strange and exciting.You see new things,hear new sounds and language,eat new kinds of food.This period can last for quite a long time because you feel very happy.Unluckily,the second period can be more difficu1t.After you have got used to your new life,you can become very uncomfortable and begin to miss your motherland,your family,your friends,your pets and so on.Al1 the little prob1ems in life seem to be much bigger and more worrying when you face them in a foreign country.This period can be very difficult and lead to moving backwards quickly.The third period is called the"adjustment (调整)period".This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the new country.Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize you are becoming stronger by 1earning to take care of yourself in the new place.Things are still difficult,but you are now a survivor.The fourth period can be cal1ed"at ease at last".Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place.You can deal with most problems that you have.You may still have prob1ems with language,but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.At this time,you may feel a little uncomfortable if you go back to your motherland.38.According to the passage,culture shock usually happens when you.A.get married to a foreignerB.live in a big cityC.go to live in a foreign countryD.meet foreigners in your motherland39.During the first period of the process,you feel.A.sad and lonelyB.happy and excitedC.angry but strongD.easy but uncomfortable40.If you organize a party without difficulties and enjoyed the good time with your buddies in the USA,you are probably in.A.the lst periodB.the 2nd periodC.the 3rd periodD.the 4th period41.We can conclude from the passage that.A.living in another country is funB.it's boring to live in another countryC.knowing about culture shock is hardD.it's not easy to dea1with culture shock.20.(8分)One windy spring day,I noticed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites.Colorful creations of different shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds flying and dancing.As the strong winds blew against the kites,a string (线)kept them in control.Instead of blowing away with the wind,they rose against it to achieve great heights.They shook and pulled,but the restraining (控制的)string and the cumbersome (笨重的)tail kept them in control,facing upward and against the wind.As the kites struggled against the string,they seemed to say,"Let me go!Let me go!I want to be free!"They rose beautifully even when they fought the restriction of the string.Finally,one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose (松散的)."Free at last,"it seemed to say."Free to fly with the wind."Yet freedom (自由)simply put it in the control of an unkind wind.It fell down to the ground and landed in a mass of weeds and string against a dead bush."Free at last",free to lie powerlessly in the dirt,to be blown helplessly along the ground,and to stop lifelessly against the first obstacle (障碍物).How much like kites we sometimes are.The Heaven gives us adversity (逆境)and rules,rules to follow from which we can grow and get strength.Some of us break away from the rules so hard that we never reach the heights we might get to.We keep part of the rules and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.Let us each rise to the great heights,knowing that some of the rules that we may be angry about are in fact the strong force that helps us achieve.42.Why does the writer write the first paragraph?A.Because it was the first time that he had seen young people flying kites.B.Because he wants to share his feelings in nature with the readers.C.Because he wants to tell the readers how to make beautiful kites.D.Because he wants to use readers'similar life experience to understand the article better.43.By writing the second and third paragraphs,the writer seems to let the readers know.A.anyone who wants no restraints is sure to be a sad endB.what a pity it is that one kite flew down to the groundC.man with freedom can't be like that kite which fell downD.the unkind wind is the cause of the fallen kite's failure44.What does the underlined word"restriction"in the second paragraph probably mean?A.controlB.freedomC.shakeD.guide45.In the writer's opinion,.A.without restrictions and rules we can make endless progressB.kites are good examples to those who want to get freedomC.restrictions are necessary for us human beingsD.we don't need any freedom at all.四、词汇(本题共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分)A.请根据括号中的中文提示,英文释义或句意,写出句中所缺单词,使句子通顺.21.(1分)─Do you like reading?─Yes,and(诗歌)are my favourite.22.(1分)The days

your door in no time,"said Bian Jing,who is twenty years old.She took part in an online survival (生存)competition held in Beijing.Each competitor had to go online and buy enough food and drink to last them for 100hours using the little money given."I don't want to spend too much time shopping,so I do it online rather than in an ordinary (普通的)store,"said a girl from a middle school."It's easy to find the things you want online as they have catalogues.Shoppers who go online can also find lower prices and wider choices of things they want to buy.But many teachers and parents are worried that online shopping is becoming too popular."It's not a good way for middle school students to spend their money,"said a teacher."I don't like them to shop online."As all the students'money is from their parents,it's said that they aren't ready to pay for what they have boughtonline."There's also the danger that they'll lose the money at online stores that just want to cheat (欺骗)shoppers,"one of the

D.the,a【解答】答案D 第一空定冠词the用于序数词前;第二空不定冠词用于序数词前表"又一、再一".故答案选D.2.(1分)─Have you sent your grandparents an e﹣mail telling them you arrived already?─No,______ of them can use a computer.()A.none B.both C.neither D.all【解答】答案:C.选项A是None 一般要跟of 连用,表示:没有人,没有任何东西;B是两者都,用在肯定句,做主语时谓语动词用复数;C是两者都不,来表达否定意思;D是所有全部(三者三者以上);根据Have you sent your grandparents an e﹣mail telling them you arrived already?你发送你的祖父母电子邮件告诉他们你已经到了吗?和No,______ of them can use a computer没有,他们…可知答案是否定的,用于两者之间,应该表两者都否定,故用neither.故选C.3.(1分)─Tina,mother says we can have a pet!How about a dog?─I prefer a cat.It is ______ to take care of.()A.easy B.easier C.easiest D.the easiest【解答】答案:B.考点是形容词的比较级.题干里的句式是It is+adj.to do sth.是"做某事…的";题干是在狗和猫之间进行对比,猫更容易来照看,所以用easy的比较级easier.故选B.4.(1分)The match between Spurs and Heat in the NBA finals was really fantastic,______ when Leonard scored in the last minute.()A.probably B.exactly C.especially D.mostly【解答】答案:Cprobably大概,很可能;exactly确切地,精确地;especially尤其是,特别是;mostly主要地,大半地;Leonard scored in the last minute是这场比赛的一部分,也是高潮部分,所以用"尤其是,特别是",故选C.5.(1分)﹣﹣I think the man over there must be Tom.﹣﹣It _______ be him.He has ______ to America.()A.can't;gone B.can't;been C.may not;been D.mustn't;gone【解答】答案:A.根据He has﹣﹣to America."他去美国了."可知,去美国应该用has gone to America,表示去了现在还没回来,所以那个人它不可能是汤姆.""不可能"应该是can't.而may not表示"不可以",mustn't表示"禁止做"故与题意不符.故选A.6.(1分)─There's a sign over there.What does it say?─It says we are not allowed to enter the exhibition ______ we have a ticket.()A.if B.when C.unless D.because【解答】答案:C;if如果;when当…的时候;unless除非;because因为;根据句意"we are not allowed to enter the exhibition我们是不允许进入展览馆的"和"we have a ticket我们有一张票",可知二者之间在逻辑上是相矛盾的,故此处用表示否定的连词,因此用unless,除非,相当于if…not,意为如果我们没有一张票,我们是不允许进入展览馆的;故选C.7.(1分)Sam gave Ann some ______ to look after the parrot while he was away.()A.decisions B.inventions C.instructions D.conclusions【解答】答案:Cdecision"决定",invention"发明",instruction"用法说明,操作指南",conclusion"结论",根据句中to look after the parrot

needed B.is needing C.will need D.has needed【解答】答案:A 根据…salt ______ for each man every day.可知主语salt是动作的承受者,与动词need构成被动关系,应该用被动语态.根据时间状语every day,可知讲述的是现在的情况,应该用一般现在时态.一般现在时的被动语态的构成:am/is/are+及物动词的过去分词.主语salt,是第三人称单数,所以应该是is needed,故选:A.9.(1分)﹣Alice,would you mind not playing the guitar?I on the phone.﹣Oh,sorry,mom.()A.talked B.talk C.have talked D.am talking【解答】答案:D 根据would you mind not playing the guitar可知,此句表示动作正在进行,"爱丽丝弹吉它的时候,妈妈正在打电话"所以用现在进行时态;现在进行时态结构形式为助动词be+v.ing;又因为主语I,助动词用am.故选D.10.(1分)﹣These problems are too hard to﹣﹣.Will you give me some advice?﹣There are many ways.The most important is to have a careful plan.()A.hand outB.work out C.look out D.break out【解答】A.hand out 分发的意思,放在此句不通顺;B.work out解决的意思,句意通顺;C.look

______.可知句子是一个宾语从句,宾语从句的语序应为陈述句的语序;排除D;再结合语境,在带有wonder"想知道…"的从句应用if/whether来引导;故选B.14.(1分)─Have you seen the film Alice in Wonderland?─Yes.______ wonderful film it is!I want to see it again.()A.What B.What a C.How D.How a【解答】答案:B根据wonderful film可知,感叹修饰的中心词是名词,应该用What引导;又根据感叹句的句式:What+a/an+形容词+单数名词+主+谓,film是可数名词单数形式,而wonderful是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以前面加冠词a,故选B.15.(1分)─I've been waiting for the phone since

The time-honored lamp and lantern business in Pingyao county, Shanxi province was popular back wh en there were large festivities or celebrations and corporations, institutions and government offices needed lanterns to decorate their halls and streets.Then the central government started calling for budget cuts, and no unnecessary celebrati ons, so the industry was staring at a depressed market and a number of enterprises just shut down and the Pingyao faced a challenge. But, now it is on an innovative path that has led to s uccess and the market downturn has passed and it is seeing a second peak.It has stopped using the mass production lines that targeted big festivals and has turned instead to traditional lantern arts and culture and brought in new technology and developed n ew products to meet diverse demands from customers all across the country.Li Xiaoqian, head of one shop, says that they have turned from single-product groups to arts and crafts and are"making culture"instead of just products. Previously , they only catered to Shanxi culture, but now they embrace Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Tai wan cultures as well and even got the invitation from the city of Taichung, Taiwan to take par t in 2015 lantern show during Spring Festival there. And, Li goes on, even though this may no t bring in big profits, it could be a good way to increase their influence through cultural excha nges.In their research, they also discovered a trend among museums and tourist spots that valu ed Chinese civilization and culture so they considered combining the traditional lantern busi ness with tourism as another pathway and are now sorting through all kinds of historical ma terials and preparing for indoor exhibitions by cooperating with museums and exhibition ce nters.So, it looks as if in the battle for the market, this crafts shop has finally come out a winner.(1)The lamp and lantern industry declined after________.A the prices went up sharply some years ago.B big festivals were celebrated in more wa ys.C we started to correct unhealthy social trend.D they lost attraction to their form er customers.(2)What has mainly helped lead to a new boom in the business?________A Improving product quality.B Adjusting managing strategy.C Designing beautiful p atterns.D Advertising products widely.(3)Which is the main factor in Li's crafts shop winning the competition?________A Their technique.B Their talent.C Their creativity.D Their devotion.(4)One of the purposes of the news story is probably________.A to provide an example for other businesses to follow.B to ask more people to take part in 2015lantern show.C to introduce a good lamp and lantern shop to readers.D to c all for a yet more booming market in the business.29. If I asked you to sit down and remember a list of phone numbers or a series of facts, ho w would you go about it? There's a fair chance that you'd be doing it wrong.One of the interesting things about the mind is that even though we all have one, we don't have perfect insight (洞察力) into how to get the best from it.This is partly because of flaws (缺陷) in our ability to think about our own thinking.Studying this self-reflective thought process exposes human beings'mental blind spots.One area where these blind spots are particularly large is learning.We're actually surprisi ngly bad at having insight into how we learn best.Researchers Jeffrey Karpicke and Henry Roediger III made an experiment, where they aske d college students to learn pairs of Swahili and English words.So, for example, they had to l earn that if they were given the Swahili word"mashua"the correct response was"boat".They could have used the sort of facts you might get on a high-school quiz, but the use of Swahili meant that there was little chance their participants could use any background knowledge to help them learn.After the pairs had all been learnt, there would be a final test a week later.Now if many of us were revising this list we might study the list, test ourselves and then re peat this cycle, dropping items we got right.This makes studying and testing quicker and all ows us to focus our effort on the things we haven't yet learnt.It's a plan that seems to make perfect sense, but it's a plan that is disastrous if we really want to learn properly.Karpicke and Roediger asked students to prepare for a test in various ways, and compared their success-for example, one group kept testing themselves on all items without dropping what they wer e getting right, while another group stopped testing themselves on their correct answers.O n the final exam differences between the groups were dramatic.While dropping items from study didn't have much of an effect, the people who dropped items from testing performed re latively poorly.It seems the effective way to learn is to practice getting items back from memory, not tryin g to consolidate (巩固) them in there by further study.Moreover, dropping items entirely from your revision, which is the advice given by many study guides, is wrong.You can stop studying them if you 've learnt them, but you should keep testing what you've learnt if you want to remember the m at the time of the final exam.So the evidence has a moral for teachers: there's more to testing than finding out what stud ents know-tests can also help us remember.(1)According to the passage,we often fail to remember facts because________.A we ignore our weakness in memorizing things.B we don't understand well what we are learning.C we don't know where our metal blind spots are.D we take improp er ways to memorize for good ones.(2)The researchers'experiment was intended to________.A confirm we don't know how to learn effectively.B find out how we can consolidate o ur knowledge better.C distinguish effects of memory in learning different languages.D prove the importance of background knowledge in memorizing.(3)What does the author believe leads to a good memory?________A Constant measure of your knowledge.B Frequent revision of what you learn.C Firm abandonment of what you're poor at.D Strong desire for grasping new knowledg e.(4)The proper title for the passage is________.A An experiment on memory.B A concept of human memory.C A way to improve your memory. D A discovery of a mental blind spot.30. In the remote corner of the country a meteorological (气象的) station was set up.Next to the station was the manager's house.Apart from looking after the instruments, his job consisted of writing accurate reports on the state of the weather so that, should questions be asked, the authorities would not be at a loss but have the necess ary information at hand.The manager was a most conscientious young man.He wrote his reports in a neat hand a nd always truthfully.If it rained he would not rest until he had described the rain from ever y possible angle: when, how much, for how long…Towards the end of the summer, storms became frequent and they brought rain with them .He described them truthfully in detail, and sent his reports to the head offices.The storm s continued.One day he had a visit from an old and experienced colleague, who remarked casually befo re leaving: "I wonder, my friend, if your reports aren't a bit on the depressing side.""What do you mean? "The manager was surprised."You can see with your eyes that it's p ouring rain.""Yes, yes.Of course, everybody can see that.But you do understand, don't you, that we m ust approach the problem scientifically.Mind you, it's none of my business.I just mention ed it out of friendship."The young manager was left alone and continued compiling his reports.He gazed at the s ky with some anxiety, but he went on writing.About that time he received an unexpected summon (传唤) from his higher authority.The authority received him in a lovely house.Rain was dru mming on the roof."We've summoned you, "announced the authority, "because we are surprised by one side n ature of your reports.For some time now they've been affected by a pessimistic note.The harvest is on the way, and you keep on talking about rain.Don't you understand the respons ible nature of your work? ""But it keeps on raining…"said the manager.The authority said angrily, "We have here all your recent reports.You are a good worker, b ut I want you to understand that we shan't tolerate any defeatism!"The following day the weather improved.He was delighted and immediately wrote his re port: "The rain has stopped completely and it has to be admitted that it has never rained very much.Just a few drops now and again.But now, what sunshine!"Indeed, the sun had broken through the clouds; it became warm and the earth was steami ng.The manager went about his duties happily.In the afternoon clouds began to gather on ce more, driven by a cold wind.The time for his next report came and he wrote: "The sun be haves as usual.Already Copernicus has demonstrates that the setting of the sun is only app arent.In reality it always shines, only…"At this point he broke off, feeling very unhappy.When the first lightning struck, he shook off his opportunism and wrote simply: "17: 00Thunderstorms."The next day brought another storm.He reported it.The day after, no storm, but hail (冰雹).He reported it.A strange calm, even a feeling of satisfaction, came over him.It lasted until the postman brought him another summon.This time it was from the Central Authorit y.When he returned from the capital there were no doubts in his mind.For several days hereported bright, sunny weather.Occasionally his reports struck a dialectical (辩证的) tone.For instance: "Occasional showers have caused certain flooding, but nothing can break the fighting spirit of the soldiers".More reports followed with descriptions of fine weather.Two months later he wrote a re port puzzling the authority.An investigation discovered that he had written the report while under the influence of alcohol purchased with money obtained from the sale of his meteoro logical instruments.Thereafter nothing disturbed the sunny weather in his district.He was killed by lightning while walking round the fields, with a miraculous bell in his hand, trying to drive away the cl ouds.(1)The manager's friend actually asked him to handle the problem by________.A using a method based on science.B predicting possible changes.C studying ca refully.D performing a trick.(2)To the authority,weather reports were to be given probably for the purpose of________.A meeting the expectations of the farmers.B promising the farmers a good harvest.C urging the farmers to get in their crops.D proving the accuracy of their forecasts.(3)The underlined word"pessimistic"in Paragraph 9means"________".A wishing something unusual to happen.B expecting something bad to happen.C doubting whether it will be true.D hoping it is out of someone's favor.(4)The manager wrote his weather reports________.A honestly.B contradictory.C ambiguously.D impatiently.第四部分任务型阅读(共1小题;每小题10分,满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词.注意:每个空格只填1个单词.请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上.31. Attitude is a way that we think and feel about someone,or a way that we behave.We all have great potential and we all desire good results from our efforts.Each of us has the ability to put our unique human potential into action and to acqu ire a desired result.But the one thing that determines the level of our potential,and that predicts the quality of the result we receive is our attitude.With a positive attitude we experience pleasant and happy feelings.This brings brightness t o the eyes,more energy,and happiness.Our whole being broadcasts good will and happiness.We believe we will h ave a bright future.Even our health is affected in a beneficial way.A negative attitude creates unhappy feelings,moods and behavior.When the mind is negative,poisons are released into the blood,which cause more unhappiness and negativity.This is the way to failure,frustration and disappointment.People can affect our attitude by teaching us poor thinking habits or unintentionally misinfor ming us or providing us with negative sources of influence,but no one can control our attitude unless we voluntarily give in to that control.No one else "makes us angry."We make ourselves angry when we give in to control of our attitude.Wh at someone else may have done is irrelevant.We choose,not they.They merely put our attitude to a test.If we select a changeable attitude by beco ming unfriendly,angry,jealous or suspicious,then we have failed the test.If we condemn ourselves by believing that we are unworthy,then again,we have failed the test.If we care at all about ourselves,then we must accept full responsibility for our own feelings.We must learn to guard against those feelings that have the possibility to lead our attitude down the wrong path and to stre ngthen those feelings that can lead us confidently into a better future.If we want to receive the rewards the future holds in trust for us,then we must exercise the most important choice given to us as members of the human race by maintaining (维持) full control over our attitude.Having the right attitude is one of the basics that success requires.The combination of a so und personal philosophy and a positive attitude about ourselves and the world around us giv es us an inner strength and a firm resolve (决心) that influences all the other areas of our existence.Attitude Is Everything第五部分书面表达(满分25分)32. 你的朋友Linda在美国攻读环保专业硕士,在最近给你的e-mail中,她对于明年毕业后是回家乡发展还是留在美国表示犹豫.请你根据以下信息给她回一封邮件,劝她回家乡,并给她提一些建议.preferential policy 优惠政策注意:1.对所有要点逐一陈述,适当发挥,不要简单翻译.2词数150 左右,开头和结尾又记入总词数.3作文中不得提及有关考生个人身份的任何信息,如校名人名等.Dear Linda,In your e-mail you say you are not sure whether you return home or not after graduation.I think it is better for you to come back.I hope what I have written here can be of some help to you.All the best!YoursMary.2015年江苏省南通市高考英语一模试卷答案1.

make some friends to bring her out of her shell."Sure,honey,that sounds great."I said,thinking back to my own best friend,Lillian.We lived across the street from each other in Washington Heights,New York.We met at the age of 10,too.Like my daughter,I was shy,but Lillian drew me out.She was one of the friendliest people in school,with shiny black hair and a mile﹣wide smile.In senior high school,Lillian went on a trip to Florida.This was the first time we had to be away from each other for a few days."I'll be back soon."she told me.But three days later,Lillian's sister told me that she had fallen into a river and hadn't come out any more.Soon,my family moved to New Jersey.Whenever I thought of her,tears came into my eyes.The next day Donna brought her new friend home."Hi,Mrs.Loggia."the little girl said.Her hair was so shiny and black and she shot me a big smile."My name is Laura."My daughter's new friend was so much like Lillian.I was still puzzled (迷惑)when Laura's mom came to pick her up later that afternoon.I opened the door to let her in."Judy!"she cried."It's me,Lillian's sister,from Washington Heights."Yes,my daughter's friend looked familiar

passage that.A.Laura is outgoing (开朗的,乐于助人的)B.Laura is a shy girlC.Laura and Donna are of the same ageD.Judy moved to New Jersey because of Lillian's death.19.(8分)We may know that there are four basic periods for human beings to pass through when you enter and live in another country.This process (变化过程)helps you deal with culture shock (文化冲击).Culture shock begins with the"honeymoon period":This is the time when you first arrive in a place where everything about the new cu1ture is strange and exciting.You see new things,hear new sounds and language,eat new kinds of food.This period can last for quite a long time because you feel very happy.Unluckily,the second period can be more difficu1t.After you have got used to your new life,you can become very uncomfortable and begin to miss your motherland,your family,your friends,your pets and so on.Al1 the little prob1ems in life seem to be much bigger and more worrying when you face them in a foreign country.This period can be very difficult and lead to moving backwards quickly.The third period is called the"adjustment (调整)period".This is when you begin to realize that things are not so bad in the new country.Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize you are becoming stronger by 1earning to take care of yourself in the new place.Things are still difficult,but you are now a survivor.The fourth period can be cal1ed"at ease at last".Now you feel quite comfortable in your new place.You can deal with most problems that you have.You may still have prob1ems with language,but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.At this time,you may feel a little uncomfortable if you go back to your motherland.38.According to the passage,culture shock usually happens when you.A.get married to a foreignerB.live in a big cityC.go to live in a foreign countryD.meet foreigners in your motherland39.During the first period of the process,you feel.A.sad and lonelyB.happy and excitedC.angry but strongD.easy but uncomfortable40.If you organize a party without difficulties and enjoyed the good time with your buddies in the USA,you are probably in.A.the lst periodB.the 2nd periodC.the 3rd periodD.the 4th period41.We can conclude from the passage that.A.living in another country is funB.it's boring to live in another countryC.knowing about culture shock is hardD.it's not easy to dea1with culture shock.20.(8分)One windy spring day,I noticed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites.Colorful creations of different shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds flying and dancing.As the strong winds blew against the kites,a string (线)kept them in control.Instead of blowing away with the wind,they rose against it to achieve great heights.They shook and pulled,but the restraining (控制的)string and the cumbersome (笨重的)tail kept them in control,facing upward and against the wind.As the kites struggled against the string,they seemed to say,"Let me go!Let me go!I want to be free!"They rose beautifully even when they fought the restriction of the string.Finally,one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose (松散的)."Free at last,"it seemed to say."Free to fly with the wind."Yet freedom (自由)simply put it in the control of an unkind wind.It fell down to the ground and landed in a mass of weeds and string against a dead bush."Free at last",free to lie powerlessly in

C.neither D.all【解答】答案:C.选项A是None 一般要跟of 连用,表示:没有人,没有任何东西;B是两者都,用在肯定句,做主语时谓语动词用复数;C是两者都不,来表达否定意思;D是所有全部(三者三者以上);根据Have you sent your grandparents an e﹣mail telling them you arrived already?你发送你的祖父母电子邮件告诉他们你已经到了吗?和No,______ of them can use a computer没有,他们…可知答案是否定的,用于两者之间,应该表两者都否定,故用neither.故选C.3.(1分)─Tina,mother says we can have a pet!How about a dog?─I prefer a cat.It is ______ to take care of.()A.easy B.easier C.easiest D.the easiest【解答】答案:B.考点是形容词的比较级.题干里的句式是It is+adj.to do sth.是"做某事…的";题干是在狗和猫之间进行对比,猫更容易来照看,所以用easy的比较级easier.故选B.4.(1分)The match between Spurs and Heat in the NBA finals was really fantastic,______ when Leonard scored in the last minute.()A.probably B.exactly C.especially D.mostly【解答】答案:Cprobably大概,很可能;exactly确切地,精确地;especially尤其是,特别是;mostly主要地,大半地;Leonard scored in the last minute是这场比赛的一部分,也是高潮部分,所以用"尤其是,特别是",故选C.5.(1分)﹣﹣I think the man over there must be Tom.﹣﹣It _______ be him.He has ______ to America.()A.can't;gone B.can't;been C.may not;been D.mustn't;gone【解答】答案:A.根据He has﹣﹣to America."他去美国了."可知,去美国应该用has gone to America,表示去了现在还没回来,所以那个人它不可能是汤姆.""不可能"应该是can't.而may not表示"不可以",mustn't表示"禁止做"故与题意不符.故选A.6.(1分)─There's a sign over there.What does it say?─It says we are not allowed to enter the exhibition ______ we have a ticket.()A.if B.when C.unless D.because【解答】答案:C;if如果;when当…的时候;unless除非;because因为;根据句意"we are not allowed to enter the exhibition我们是不允许进入展览馆的"和"we have a ticket我们有一张票",可知二者之间在逻辑上是相矛盾的,故此处用表示否定的连词,因此用unless,除非,相当于if…not,意为如果我们没有一张票,我们是不允许进入展览馆的;故选C.7.(1分)Sam gave Ann some ______ to look after the parrot while he was away.()A.decisions B.inventions C.instructions D.conclusions【解答】答案:Cdecision"决定",invention"发明",instruction"用法说明,操作指南",conclusion"结论",根据句中to look after the parrot

needed B.is needing C.will need D.has needed【解答】答案:A 根据…salt ______ for each man every day.可知主语salt是动作的承受者,与动词need构成被动关系,应该用被动语态.根据时间状语every day,可知讲述的是现在的情况,应该用一般现在时态.一般现在时的被动语态的构成:am/is/are+及物动词的过去分词.主语salt,是第三人称单数,所以应该是is needed,故选:A.9.(1分)﹣Alice,would you mind not playing the guitar?I on the phone.﹣Oh,sorry,mom.()A.talked B.talk C.have talked D.am talking【解答】答案:D 根据would you mind not playing the guitar可知,此句表示动作正在进行,"爱丽丝弹吉它的时候,妈妈正在打电话"所以用现在进行时态;现在进行时态结构形式为助动词be+v.ing;又因为主语I,助动词用am.故选D.10.(1分)﹣These problems are too hard to﹣﹣.Will you give me some advice?﹣There are many ways.The most important is to have a careful plan.()A.hand outB.work out C.look out D.break out【解答】A.hand out 分发的意思,放在此句不通顺;B.work out解决的意思,句意通顺;C.look

______.可知句子是一个宾语从句,宾语从句的语序应为陈述句的语序;排除D;再结合语境,在带有wonder"想知道…"的从句应用if/whether来引导;故选B.14.(1分)─Have you seen the film Alice in Wonderland?─Yes.______ wonderful film it is!I want to see it again.()A.What B.What a C.How D.How a【解答】答案:B根据wonderful film可知,感叹修饰的中心词是名词,应该用What引导;又根据感叹句的句式:What+a/an+形容词+单数名词+主+谓,film是可数名词单数形式,而wonderful是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以前面加冠词a,故选B.15.(1分)─I've been waiting for the phone since

南通中考全真模拟卷作文范文1-8
全真模拟试卷作文范文2015年中考英语模拟试卷(一)I want to say "Thank you" most at the moment when I have to say goodbye to you.You always try to make your lessons lively and interesting. I often think of your unforgetful words. I have learnt a lot in the past three years.I used to too shy to speak English in front of the class. You found my problem and gave me the confidence. I can still remember your smile on the day when I won the first prize in the English speech contest. I really thank you for what you have done for me. I'm sure your love will encourage me to achieve the success in the future.2015年中考英语模拟试卷(二)Dear David,Last week we held a discussion on what we should do for our school or teachers before we graduate. The students in our class have different suggestions.Some students think that we can collect money to buy some souviours(纪念品)for teachers or make class albums(相册)for the school. Other students think that it's not necessary to spend money. We can study hard to achieve a success so that our school will feel proud of us. Besides, we can make some DIY cards for teachers.In my opinion, we needn't spend money. We can do something meaningful without money. For example, we can do some voluntary work to beautify (美化)the school's environment or try to show many thanks to them on the school website.I'd like to know your idea. Could you give me some advice?Best wishes!Li Ming2015年中考英语模拟试卷(三)Let's Do Exercise Together It's very important for us to do exercise. Doing exercise can not only help us keep fit , but also help to train a person's character. What's more, doing exercise helps us learn our lessons better.We can do exercise when it is necessary. It is good for us to go to school on foot or by bike. In PE classes, we can do all kinds of exercise, such as running, jumping, playing basketball and so on. On weekends, we can climb mountains or go swimming with our classmates or friends. Also, we can go hiking during the holidays.Let's do exercise and have a healthy lifestyle together!2015年中考英语模拟试卷(四)Fast FoodFast food is becoming more and more popular in China, especially among children and teenagers.There are several reasons. First, it is very convenient(方便)and saves a lot of time. You just go into a fast food restaurant, order your food, and your food is ready in no time(立刻).Second, you can either eat there or take it away. Third, the environment of the fast food restaurant is both clean and comfortable. Fourth, it has excellent service, and the quality(质量)of food is good ,too.However, in terms of nutrition(按照,依据营养来说), people are not always pleased. It is usually not a balanced diet(均衡的饮食)and low in nutritional value (营养价值).Fast food is only a good choice when you are in a hurry and turn to(转向)it once in a while(偶尔,一会儿).It's good for people, especially children , to eat fast food as little as possible.2015年中考英语模拟试卷(五)In recent years, some parents always send their children to all kinds of training classes during their holiday to make them study better. As a student, I think this may bring some problems.First, parents spend lots of money on these classes, but many students feel bored because that’s not what they want to learn. Second, a lot of time is wasted. It is not only bad for children’s study, but also gives them too much pressure(压力). Also it may be not safe to study in these classes. Third, it probably makes them hate studying. And it may be easy for some children to get into the bad habit of running away from school.I think we should be given some time to relax and some things that we want to do, such as playing basketball, football and computer games.2015年中考英语模拟试卷(六)Dear fellow students,(亲爱的同学们)Clubs play an important role in our school life. In club activities, we can learn a lot from the students with the same hobbies and improve ourselves. If you join the clubs, you can learn a lot of knowledge and get rich experience. It’s good for you to learn to communicate with others. Clubs can offer you chances to have team spirit. Also, you can make a lot of friends and meet all kinds of people.We have many kinds of clubs for you to choose, such as Science Club, Reading Club, Drawing Club. Club activities will begin at 4:00 every Tuesday afternoon, on the second and third floors of the teaching building.Finally I’d like to offer you some advice. I think you’d better choose one to two clubs because you don’t have much time for too many activities. Also, you should take an active part in the activities on time. Besides, it’s necessary for you to plan your time carefully. I hope you can achieve a balance between study and club activities and feel happy in the clubs.Sam2015年中考英语模拟试卷(七)Behave well during the travel Wolf Hill is a famous tourist attraction in Nantong. Every year many tourists come here to enjoy its beautiful scenery. But a few years ago, a lot of bad behaviors happened quite often during the travel. Some threw litter, painted on the walls, and spit(吐痰) on the ground everywhere. Some picked flowers, destroyed trees and hurt animals. And even worse, some smoked in the woods(树林). How dangerous!Luckily, things have changed now. Rubbish is always put into dustbins. People are friendly to animals. Nobody smokes around the woods and places of interest are well kept. All these changes make us happy.As a student, I think we should know it’s our duty(责任)to protect the environment. In order to make Wolf Hill and our city more beautiful, let’s behave well and try our best to help fight (against)bad behaviors.2015年中考英语模拟试卷(八)Dear fellow students,China is a civilized(文明) country with a history of over 5000 years. We have colourful traditional culture.In China, when we get on with others, we should be honest first. In our daily life, we should be polite to the old and friendly and helpful to the young. China has different kinds of wonderful traditional art, such as Beijing Opera, Chinese knot, paper cut and so on. China’s four great inventions and four great works are the pride of us Chinese people.If we can protect traditional culture well, it can not only help improve our personal qualities but also make us feel proud of our nation. Besides, protecting traditional culture is good for the development of China. (Protecting traditional culture can make the world learn more about China and Chinese people.)I think we should keep the advantages of traditional culture and remove the disadvantages. I hope our school can hold more activities for us to learn more about our traditional culture. At home, families can help children to have good behaviour and habits. From now on, we should take action to encourage people to pay more attention to protecting Chinese traditional culture.。
