广东省广州市2018年中考模拟英语试题(二)及参考答案

广东省广州市2018年中考模拟英语试题(二)一、完形填空1. 完形填空Today,it is a big problem for young graduates to get satisfying jobs.1that there are thousands of different kinds of jobs i n the world. Choosing the right one itself is not easy.“Finding a job" is not 2 as “choosing a job”. Many young people end up in a job because they are not 3 for it. Sometimes "chance" may 4 a more important part than “decision".Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs 5 you might enjoy doing after school or university. First,it is important 6what kind of person you are,which special qualities7 you outstanding among people and what you are interested in. There is a difference8 an interest and a skill. If you like9 and enjoy looking at pictures,that is an interest. But if you can10a horse that lo oks like a horse not a big dog,that is a11.Then ask yourself a question,"In the following three areas -- skills with people,skills with information and skills with thing s,which are your12skill?"After 13 your skills,the next step is research. To 14 as many different kinds of jobs as possible,go to the library and read books,magazines and newspapers for information. Ask your friends 15 the work they do.Finally,trust your own ideas and your own thinking! It is your own life,just find the job you really enjoy doing.2. 完形填空One early morning,an old gardener found lots of his flowers were missing. He was so1that he shouted,“Who did this?” He w anted to protect (保护) his flowers,2 he locked (锁上) the garden in the evening.The next morning,he found some of his flowers missing again. So he 3 to find out what had happened. When night came,he sat 4 to watch his garden. Soon he saw a tortoise (陆龟) moving slowly into the garden. The tortoise opened its mouth and at e a whole 5.The gardener ran to the tortoise and shouted,“I 6 you this time!”“I'm sorry. If you want to punish (惩罚) me,please do not 7 m e into water. It is 8to die that way,” said the tortoise.“You ate so many of my beautiful flowers. I must punish you!” said the old gardener. And he quickly threw the tortoise into a 9 next to his garden. After some time,the tortoise swam away10. Then the o ld gardener realized it was so silly to throw the tortoise into the lake because the tortoise was not afraid of water.二、阅读理解3. 阅读理解As young students,you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big,such as winning the Nobel Prize;they can also b e 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 t ry 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 r ealizing your dream. In fact,everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. D on'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 com es from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better e xam 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.（1） If we have dreams in our hearts and work hard,our dreams _______.（2） Which is not right when you want to make your dream come true faster?（3） To make your dream real,the first thing you must do is _______.（4） Which of the following isn't mentioned in this passage?（5） The best title of this passage is _______.4. 阅读理解No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us,we can t ell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following da y or two is called weather forecasting.For many centuries and in all countries,people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. Many people feel their joints(关节) hurt in their bones if wet weather is coming. Som e birds fly high if fine weather is coming,but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. It is probably bec ause of the insects (昆虫) which they are hunting that they fly low. If you see a rainbow (彩虹) during rainy weather,this is a sig n that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night,then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river,then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in color,then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning,rainy weather will probably come. Most of the abo ve sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.（1） Which is true about weather forecasting?（2） According to the passage,people's joints ache ________.（3） The birds fly high and the stars twinkle clearly is a sign that the weather will________.（4） A rainbow is a ________ of the weather.（5） We must ________ to make weather forecasting.5. 阅读理解Everyone has got two personalities (性格)—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself,but when you're asleep,your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night,of course,you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.If you go to sleep on your back,you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by ne w ideas. You don't like to make people unhappy,so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.If you sleep on your stomach,you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you're always easily beco ming sad. You never want to change your ideas,but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not fo r tomorrow.If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩) ,you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often p rotect yourself from being hurt,so you are very defensive. You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.If you sleep on your side,you have usually got a well-balanced (平衡的) personality. You know your strengths and weakn esses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried,but you don't often get unhappy. Y ou always say what you think,even if it makes people angry.（1） You may find the passage in __________.（2） When does the sleeping position best show your secret personality?（3） Tina hardly tells her secrets to her friends. She probably goes to sleep __________.（4） What does the word “defensive" mean in the passage?（5） What does the passage tell us?6. 阅读理解In 1901,H. G. Wells,an English writer,wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers (探险者) landed o n the moon,they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the "moon people" they met. In mm,the "moon people" expressed their surprise. "Why are you travelling to outer space when you don't even use your inner space?" they asked.H. G. Wells could only imagine the travel to the moon. In 1969,human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However,the question that the "moon people" asked is still an interest ing one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.Underground systems (体系) are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities,such as Tok yo,Seoul and Montreal,there are large underground shopping areas. The "Chunnel",a tunnel connecting England and France,i s now completed.But what about underground cities? Japan's Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems,called "Alice Cities". The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats,offices,sho pping and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.Supporters of underground development say that buil ding down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth's space. The surface,they say,can be used for farms,parks,g ardens,and wilderness. H. G. Wells's "moon people" would agree. Would you?（1） The explorers in H. G. Wells's story were surprised to find that the "moon people"______.（2） What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?（3） What kind of underground systems are already here with us?（4） Which of the following is true?（5） What would be the best title for the text?三、任务型阅读7. 任务型阅读Lang Lang is only 27 years old,but has already been called "the most popular pianist on the planet" by American televi sion network CNN.Like every successful person,Lang went through years of hard and lonely practice before making his name .________ With great talent (天赋),he won his first competition at the age of five________ When he was nine,Lang went to l earn music in Beijing________But Lang got fired (开除) by the piano teacher six months later________Hearing about his so n's failure,Lang's father was so angry that he told Lang to jump off a building!________His big break came at age 17,when he gained worldwide fame at "Gala of the Century",a well-known concer t in Chicago,the US. Lang said it was his true love of music and piano that made him keep working.A.however,Lang didn't jump,and pressure(压力)soon changed to power.B. Lang's father pushed little Lang very hard to succeed.C. It totally destroyed (毁灭) his piano dream.D. He began to take piano lessons at the age of 3.E. His father even gave up his job and moved to Beijing with his son.四、根据首字母、中文提示填空8. Jim,you are old enough to look after y________.9.

Feeding the animalsD Smoking cigarettesBI saw it first, Amy said, as she ripped the old leather wallet out of Charlies hands. Without saying a word, as if they both understood that this was a secret they didn’t want to share with anyone, they slipped into the alley, where no one could see them look inside"There's got to be a million dollars here! "Charlie blurted out, when they saw the pile of hundred- dollar bills. Amy, the more realistic of the two, did a quick estimate, thumbing through the w ad of cash. "More like thousands” she said, her voice shaking in disbelief.They'd found the wallet in a flowerbed by the sidewalk, when Charlie dropped his cell phone while he was trying to talk and eat a slice of pepperoni pizza at the same time. Amy stuffed the wallet into her backpack and pulled Charlie along by his elbow toward her house. As they rushed toward Viceroy Avenue, they talked excitedly about what they could do with the money-buy gifts for parents and friends, get new clothes, travel to the rainforest in Costa Rica, and adopt a whale. It looked like all of their dreams would come true. For the last block, however, they didn’t talk. Each began to suspect that the other one was silently adding to the list of things they could buy.They finally reached Amy s house, but instead of going inside, they walked around the house to the back porch. They opened the wallet and counted the money into piles of ten. The total wasS2400- more money than either of them had ever seen. Then they both started talking at once. "I wonder who lost it "Their moods shifted, sinking from the high of being rich for fifteen minutes to resigning themselves to what they must do next. For in the wallet's clear plastic compartment, there was a driver's license. They knew what they had to do. Although they would lose their newly-found treasure, in a way, they felt relieved.24.

She was afraid that they would be seen by othersB. She was disappointed there wasn't a million dollarsC. She was fearful that Charlie would tell someone elseD. She felt nervous because she'd never seen so much money26. On their way to Amy’s house, the children's mood changed fromA excited to suspiciousB. happy to angryC relieved to worriedD. nervous to disappointed27. What did the children decide to do at the end of the story?A. To keep the money a secret from othersB. To return the wallet to its rightful ownerC. To put the wallet back where they found it.D. To buy many different things with the money.CAn article published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature sheds new light on an important, but up-to-now little appreciated, aspect of human evolution. In this article Professors Dennis Bramble and Daniel Lieberman suggest that being able to run was the necessary condition for the development of our species which enabled us to come down from the trees. This challenges traditional scientific thinking, which claims that the distinctive, upright body form of modern humans has come about as a result of the ability to walk, and that running is simply a by-product of walking. Furthermore, humans have usually been regarded as poor runners compared to such animals as dogs, horses or deer. However, this is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distances. But when it comes to long-distance running, humans do astonishingly well. They can keep a steady pace for many kilometres, and their overall speed is at least the same as that of horses or dogsBramble and Lieberman examined 26 physical features found in humans. One of the most interesting of these is the nuchal ligament(项韧带). When we run, this ligament prevents our head from moving back and forth or from side to side. Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads, held high. The nuchal ligament is not found in any other surviving primates, such as apes and monkeys. Then there are our Achilles tendons (跟腱) at the backs of our legs, which connect our calf muscles to our heel bones — and which have nothing to do with walking. When we run, these tendons behave like springs, helping to push us forward. Furthermore, we have low, wide shoulders virtually disconnected from our skulls(颅骨), a physical development which allows usto run more efficiently.But what evolutionary advantage is gained from being good long-distance runners? Perhaps it permitted early humans to obtain food more effectively. "What these features and facts appear to be telling us is that running evolved in order for our direct ancestors to compete with other meat-eating animals for access to the protein needed to grow the big brains that we enjoy today," says Lieberman. Some scientists put forward the theory that early humans chased animals for great distances in order to exhaust them before killing them."Research on the history of humans' ability to move has traditionally been controversial, " says Lieberman. "At the very least, I believe this theory will motivate many researchers to reevaluate and further investigate how humans learned to run and walk and why we are built the way we are. "28. In paragraph 1, what do the two professors suggest about humans' ability to run?A. It is an evolutionary by-product of walking.B. It helps to form people's ability to climb trees.C. It has played an important role in human evolution.D. It has not been adequately studied by scientists before.29. What is true about the physical characteristics examined by the professors?A. Achilles tendons assist people to walk long distances.B. The human skull helps people to run more efficiently.C. people's shoulders allow them to look from side to side.D. The nuchal ligament enables people to hold their head steady.30. According to paragraph 3, scientists believe that early humans_________.A. always came across dangerous situations in lifeB. ran after animals for long distances when huntingC often failed to find food because they couldn't run fastD developed their hunting skills by running long distances31. Professor Lieberman thinks the new theory will _________.A completely explain how running developedB revolutionize the theory of human evolutionC. encourage more in-depth studies on the topicD. be widely supported within the scientific communityDScientists have solved the mystery of why theoverwhelming majority of mammoth fossils(化石)aremale.Much like wild elephants today, young male Ice Agemammoths probably travelled around alone and more often got themselves into risky situations where they were swept into rivers, or fell through ice or into mud, lakes or sinkholes that preserved their bones for thousands of years, scientists say.Females, on the other hand, travelled in groups led by an older matriarch who knew the landscape and directed her group away from danger."Without the benefit of living in a herd led by an experienced female, male mammoths had a much higher risk of dying in natural traps such as mud holes, rock cracks and lakes, "said co-author Love Dalen of the Swedish Museum of Natural History in a report published on Thursday in the journal Current Biology.The study used genetic data to determine the sex of 98 woolly mammoth fossils in Siberia Researchers found that 69% of the samples were male, a heavily unbalanced sex ratio, assuming that the sexes were fairly even at birth"We were very surprised because there was no reason to expect a sex bias in the fossil record," said first author Patricia Pecnerova, also of the Swedish Museum of Natural History.Therefore, researchers believe that something about the way they lived influenced the way they died.Most bones, tusks, and teeth from mammoths and other Ice Age animals haven't survived," explained Dalen"It is highly likely that the remains that are found in Siberia these days have been preserved because they have been buried, and thus protected from weathering."These giant, tusked plant eaters disappeared about 4,000 years ago. While there is no scientific agreement about the causes of their disappearance from the planet, most believe that climate change, excessive hunting by humans and the spread of other animals into mammoth feeding grounds were influential factors.32. The underlined word "matriarch" in paragraph 3 means _______.A. figure headB. female leaderC experienced animal D. mature mammoth33. Why do the majority of mammoth fossils come from male animals?A. Scientists find it easier to study male fossilised bones.B. There were more male mammoths in comparison to femalesC Male mammoths were better able to adapt to the changing circumstances.D.

Feeding the animals D Smoking cigarettes B I saw it first, Amy said, as she ripped the old leather wallet out of Charlie’s hands. Without saying a word, as if they both understood that this was a secret they didn’t want to share with anyone, they slipped into the alley, where no one could see them look inside \pile of hundred- dollar bills. Amy, the morerealistic of the two, did a quick estimate, thumbing through the wad of cash. \in disbelief. They’d found the wallet in a flowerbed by the sidewalk, when Charlie dropped his cell phone while he was trying to talk and eat a slice of pepperoni pizza at the same time. Amy stuffed the wallet into her backpack and pulled Charlie along by his elbow toward her house. As they rushed toward Viceroy Avenue, they talked excitedly about what they could do with the money-buy gifts for parents and friends, get new clothes, travel to the rainforest in Costa Rica, and adopt a whale. It looked like all of their dreams would come true. For the last block, however, they didn’t talk. Each began to suspect that the other one was silently adding to the list of things they could buy. They finally reached Amy s house, but instead of going inside, they walked 2 around the house to the backporch. They opened the wallet and counted the money into piles of ten. The total wasS2400- more money than either of them had ever seen. Then they both started talking at once. \sinking from the high of being rich for fifteen minutes to resigning themselves to what they must do next. For in the wallet’s clear plastic compartment, there was a driver’s license. They knew what they had to do. Although they would lose their newly-found treasure, in a way, they felt relieved. 24. Where did Amy and Charlie find the wallet? A. In an alley B In a backpack C. Among some flowers D On the sidewalk 25. In paragraph 2, why was Amy’s voice shaking? A. She was afraid that they would be seen by others B. She was disappointed there wasn’t a million dollars C. She was fearful that Charlie would tell someone else D. She felt nervous because she’d never seen so muchmoney 26. On their way to Amy’s house, the children’s mood changed from A excited to suspicious B. happy to angry C relieved to worried D. nervous to disappointed 27. What did the children decide to do at the end of the story? A. To keep the money a secret from others B. To return the wallet to its rightful owner C. To put the wallet back where they found it. D. To buy many different things with the money. C An article published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature sheds new light on an important, but up-to-now little appreciated, aspect of human evolution. In this article Professors Dennis Bramble and Daniel Lieberman suggest that being able to run was the necessary condition for the development of our species which enabled us to come down from the trees. This challenges traditional scientific thinking, which claims that the distinctive, uprightbody form of modern humans has come about as a result of the ability to walk, and that running is simply a by-product of walking. 3 Furthermore, humans have usually been regarded as poor runners compared to such animals as dogs, horses or deer. However, this is only true if we consider running at high speed, especially over short distances. But when it comes to long-distance running, humans do astonishingly well. They can keep a steady pace for many kilometres, and their overall speed is at least the same as that of horses or dogs Bramble and Lieberman examined 26 physical features found in humans. One of the most interesting of these is the nuchal ligament(项韧带). When we run, this ligament prevents our head from moving back and forth or from side to side. Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads, held high. The nuchal ligament isnot found in any other surviving primates, such as apes and monkeys. Then there are our Achilles tendons (跟腱) at the backs of our legs, which connect our calf muscles to our heel bones —and which have nothing to do with walking. When we run, these tendons behave like springs, helping to push us forward. Furthermore, we have low, wide shoulders virtually disconnected from our skulls(颅骨), a physical development which allows us to run more efficiently. But what evolutionary advantage is gained from being good long-distance runners? Perhaps it permitted early humans to obtain food more effectively. \features and facts appear to be telling us is that running evolved in order for our direct ancestors to compete with other meat-eating animals for access to the protein needed to grow the big brains that we enjoy today,\forward the theory that early humans chased animalsfor great distances in order to exhaust them before killing them. \controversial, \many researchers to reevaluate and further investigate how humans learned to run and walk and why we are built the way we are. \28. In paragraph 1, what do the two professors suggest about humans’ ability to run? A. It is an evolutionary by-product of walking. B. I t helps to form people’s ability to climb trees. C. It has played an important role in human evolution. D. It has not been adequately studied by scientists before. 29. What is true about the physical characteristics examined by the professors? A. Achilles tendons assist people to walk long distances. B. The human skull helps people to run more efficiently. 4 C. people’s shoulders allow them to look from side to side. D. The nuchal ligament enables people to hold their head steady.30. According to paragraph 3, scientistsbelieve that early humans_________. A. always came across dangerous situations in life B. ran after animals for long distances when hunting C often failed to find food because they couldn’t run fast D developed their hunting skills by running long distances 31. Professor Lieberman thinks the new theory will _________. A completely explain how running developed B revolutionize the theory of human evolution C. encourage more in-depth studies on the topic D. be widely supported within the scientific community D Scientists have solved the mystery of why the overwhelming majority of mammoth fossils(化石)are male. Much like wild elephants today, young male Ice Age mammoths probably travelled around alone and more often got themselves into risky situations where they were swept into rivers, or fell through ice or into mud, lakes or sinkholesthat preserved their bones for thousands of years, scientists say. Females, on the other hand, travelled in groups led by an older matriarch who knew the landscape and directed her group away from danger. \the benefit of living in a herd led by an experienced female, male mammoths had a much higher risk of dying in natural traps such as mud holes, rock cracks and lakes, \co-author Love Dalen of the Swedish Museum of Natural History in a report published on Thursday in the journal Current Biology. The study used genetic data to determine the sex of 98 woolly mammoth fossils in Siberia Researchers found that 69% of the samples were male, a heavily unbalanced sex ratio, assuming that the sexes were fairly even at birth \fossil record,\said first author Patricia Pecnerova, also of the Swedish Museum of 5Natural History. Therefore, researchers believe that something about the way they lived influenced the way they died. Most bones, tusks, and teeth from mammoths and other Ice Age animals haven’t survived,\\preserved because they have been buried, and thus protected from weathering.\These giant, tusked plant eaters disappeared about 4,000 years ago. While there is no scientific agreement about the causes of their disappearance from the planet, most believe that climate change, excessive hunting by humans and the spread of other animals into mammoth feeding grounds were influential factors.32. The underlined word \A. figure headB. female leader C experienced animal D. mature mammoth 33. Why do the majority of mammoth fossils come from male animals? A. Scientists find it easier to study malefossilised bones. B. There were more male mammoths in comparison to females C Male mammoths were better able to adapt to the changing circumstances. D. Male mammoths more frequently died in places where fossils could form. 34. Which of the following is suggested as a reason for mammoths dying out? A. The increasing competition for food. B. The cooling of the earth’s temperature. C. The disappearance of male mammoths. D The risky behaviour of younger mammoths. 35. What is the text type of the passage? A. A newspaper article. 第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

AThe Fif th Time I Went to the Principal’s OfficeWhen I was in the seventh grade, I had problems behaving. My heart was in the right place, but I couldn’t always follow the rules. I played many tricks on my schoolmates. Once, I even pulled a girl’s hair on the school bus to get her attention. As a result, I was sent to the office of the principal again and again. Although I hated going there, I did not hate the principal, Mr. Ratcliff.Mr. Ratcliff was a kind, elderly man. When he spanked（打屁股）me for putting some ants into a classmate’s pencil box, it didn’t hurt at all, but it did hurt my feelings. I thought so much of him and moments like that seemed to prove I was hopelessly bad. When I got called to Mr. Ratcliff’s office for the fifth time, I had no idea what I had done. I felt disappointed as I walked down there. I went into his office, sat down, and looked at the floor. Then he said the last thing I expected to hear: “Kevin, I’ve heard you’ve been behaving really well l ately. I want you to know how proud I am of you, and I just called you down to my office to give you a peppermint.”“Really?” I was surprised.“Yes. Now you can take that peppermint and go back to class.”I carried the peppermint with me as if it was a gold coin. When I got into my classroom, I bragged （吹嘘）to my classmates about my turnaround, excitedly. I wasn’t so bad after all.Mr. Ratcliff was really kind. He made me realize that I was just a kid who had problems with behavior. He bought some peppermints and took the time to notice me when I got something-anything-right. Mr. Ratcliff gave me some hope by giving me some love. I will just remember him for the rest of my life.26. In his seventh grade, the writer ______.A. often helped his classmatesB. had problems behavingC. always followed the rulesD. hated the principal27.

The books were a great success even though some critics did not like them.Thomas Jefferson did not like what Comte de Buffon had said about the natural wonders （奇观）of the New World. It seemed to Jefferson that Comte de Buffon had spoken of natural wonders in America as if they were unimportant.This troubled Thomas Jefferson. He was also a naturalist, as well as a farmer, an inventor, a historian, a writer and a politician. He had seen the natural wonders of Europe. To him, they were no more important than those of the New World.In 1788, Thomas Jefferson wrote about his home state, Virginia. While writing, he thought of its natural beauty and then of the words of Comte de Buffon. At that moment, Jefferson created a new word—belittle. He said, “Comte de Buffon believes that nature belittles her productions on this side of the Atlantic.”Noah Webster, the American word expert, liked this word. He put it in the English language dictionary in 1806, “Belittle—to make small, unimportant.”Americans had already accepted Jefferson’s word and started to use it. In 1797, the Independent Chronicle used the word to describe a politician the paper supported. “It is anplease.”In 1872, a famous American word expert decided that the time had come to kill this word. He said, “Belittle shouldn’t become English. And more critical writers of America, like those of Britain, feel no need of it.”This expert failed to kill the word. Today, belittle is used where the English language is spoken.41. Thomas Jefferson was NOT a ______.A. naturalistB. historianC. politicianD. musician42.
