In the English language, there are many expressions using the word “mouth”. But some of them are not so nice.Sometimes, people say something to a friend or a family member. Later they regret because it hurts that person’s feelings. Or they tell the person something they didn’t mean to tell. The speaker might say: “I real ly put my foot in my mouth this time.”Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend is going to say. When this happens, the friend might say: “You took the words right out of my mouth!” Sometimes a person has a bad or sad experience with another person. He might say that experience “left a bad taste in my mouth.” Or the person possibly has a very frightening(可怕的)experience, like having an angry dog running after him. He might say: “I had my heart in my mouth.”Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. You might say the person “was born with a silver spoon (银勺) in his mouth”. He is the opposite of a person living from “hand to mouth”. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food.54. The underlined word “regret” may mean _____________.A. feel sorryB. feel excitedC. feel proudD. feel surprised55.

Expressions about MouthD. The Importance of MouthCDo you find it hard to learn math and history? A recent study carried out by scientists from University of London, may be of help to you. They found that teenagers could get higher marks in math if they studied in the morning and better grades in history if they were taught in the afternoon.The researchers did a study at a secondary school in Bulgaria over nine years. The results showed that when teenagers had math classes earlier in the day, they scored on average (平均) 7 percent higher in tests than when taught in the afternoon. Lower-ability students did worst when they were studying math in the afternoon.In history, students taught in the afternoon scored on average 6 percent higher than when they were taught in the morning. However, it doesn’t work for other subjects such as languages or geography.Velichka Dimitrova, leader of the study, said the findings show that we do better at different times of the day.“In the morning, our brains are better and fresher, so we are better at doing something that repeats a lot like problem solving, where we require more speed and attention,” Dimitrova told The Telegraph.“In the afternoon, it seems that this process (过程) slows down. On the other hand, history is better suitable for the afternoon, when we are more creative and open to discussion,”she said.Subjects such as foreign languages require both memory and repetition (重复), and they also need people to be creative. This is perhaps why the time of day has no influence on learning.Time-of-day effects such as those are believed to be connected to the body clock. This is the system in our bodies that controls when we need to sleep. Some schools in the US and UK have tried out later school starting times for teenagers, whose body clocks change as they grow into adults.Dimitrova believes schools should take this chance to improve students’ performance just by changing their timetables.58. History is better suitable for the afternoon because ______.A. it is an easy subject for students to learnB. we are more creative and open to discussionC. our brains are better and fresher in the afternoonD. it’s easier to pay more attention to the work we are doing59. It is believed that the time-of-day effects have something to do with a student’s ______.A. ageB. hobbyC. body clockD. learning habit60. Dimitrova is sure that ______.A. it is better to learn history and math in the morningB. changing timetables properly can improve students’ performanceC. different times of a day have some influence on learning languagesD. it makes no difference for lower-ability students to learn math in the afternoon61. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The good advice on managing a school.B. The importance of learning history and math.C. The good ways to get higher scores in history and math.D. The influence of timetables on history and math learning.DIt’s always a happy moment when you get some pocket money. But have you ever thou ght about how to spend your pocket money wisely? Here is some advice.Make a list.When you get your pocket money, don’t get too excited. We all have a lot of things that we want. But do you really need them? That’s why it is necessary to make a lis t before you spend money. Start with the thing you want most. You can also write down how much it costs or how important it is in your life. By doing this , you will see if it is really necessary to buy it.Help others.2017安徽省中考英语模拟试题及解析将本文的Word文档下载到电脑，方便收藏和打印推荐度：点击下载文档文档为doc格式。

Ali.” Tears of joy welled up their eyes as the brother and sister hugged tightly together.听力录音原文1M: This math puzzle is really beyond me.W: Well, if you can’t solve it, I won’t stand a chance.2M: Your computer makes such a loud noise. I guess there must be something wrong. You’d better have it checked out.W: You are right. I’ll do that later.3M: What’s the noise? It sounds as if it’s coming from next door. The Nelsons aren’t back yet, are they?W: I don’t think so. It must be the window-cleaner working upstairs.4M: I think there’s a mistake in our bill. We didn’t have dinner here last night.W: I’m sorry, sir. Here is the bill from the hotel restaurant. It’s got your signature on it.M: But that’s not my signature. I’d like to speak to the manager.5W: Good morning, Mr. Smith. I hope I’m not disturbing your work.M: Not at all, Mary. Come in and take a seat. I’m always in my office before lunch.W: I want to tell you that I have already started writing my paper and I’d like to discuss my topic with you.M: Of course. What would you like to work on?6M: This car goes from 0 to 60 in only 5 seconds. Not bad for something built in the old USA!W: Hmm, I usually don’t buy American. How do I know that this is going to be more reliable than something that’s made in Germany?M: Listen, ma’am,I’ve been driving a Ford for the past 20 years, and I mean the same Ford! These are the best in the business. I’m telling you.W: But is it safe?M: Well, that depends on how fast you want to drive!W: What?M: I’m just kidding. That was a joke!

I can do all sorts of things on my computer that I never knew before.W: I can’t say the same for my cookery course.M: Oh, why not? I thought you were enjoying it.W: It’s enjoyable enough, but we just don’t seem to make much progress. We spent the whole of last week’s lesson learning how to fry an egg.M: So how often is it?W: Just once a week, for an hour and a half. It’s making cakes next week.M: Oh, that sounds fun.W: Yeah. I’m looking forward to it. I wanted to ask you something, actually. Have you learnt how to send e-mails on your cours e yet? I can’t get my computer to send them properly, and I was wondering if you’d show me how it’s done.M: Well, if you bring me one of your cakes, I suppose I could try.W: Great, well, when I’ve made them.10I don’t often lose things and I’m especiall y careful with money, so I was quite surprised when I reached for my wallet to pay for my dinner and it wasn’t there. At first, I thought it was possible that I could have left it at home. Then I remembered taking it out to pay for the taxi, so I knew I had it with me just before I walked into the restaurant. I wondered if it was possible that it could have slipped out of my pocket while I was eating dinner. Thinking about that possibility, I turned and walked back to the table where I had been sitting.Unfortunately, there were several other people sitting at the table at the time, so I called a waiter and explained to him that my wallet had fallen out of my pocket while I was sitting at the table a few minutes earlier. I had the waiter go over to the table to see if my wallet was on the floor. While the waiter was looking for it, the manager came up to me and asked me if anythingwas wrong. I didn’t want to get a lot of people involved in the problem, but I knew I had to get the wallet back. I told the manger what had happened. He had me describe the wallet to him, and then he insisted that I report it to the police. I told him that I didn’t want to set the police involved in it. Besides, I was in a hurry because I had an appointment with my doctor in just a few minutes. I explained to him that my biggest worry at the moment was how I was going to pay the check. He told me not to worry about that. He had me write down my name and address. And he said he would send me the bill.。

We cannot see them because they are so small，but they are everywhere. They live in the soil，in the air，and in rivers and oceans．They grow on mountains and in caves．Some live in the ice at the north and s outh poles; some live where it is very hot. They are found throughout cities and in the country. They grow on other plants a nd animals．Some are even living on you，on your skin，hair，and insideyour body ，in your mouth ，nose ，and all through your body ．These tiny plants and animals are called microbes ．The wor d microbe is made from twoother words ：micro ，meaning small ，and bios ，meaning life ．So ，microbe means small life ．Microbes have been on earth for a very long time ．They may have been the first formsof life to be alive ．Today there are more microbes in the world than all other living things ．People did not know microbes had existed （存在）long ．They were too small for them tosee ．But people did see many changes in their world ﹣important changes ．And they did notknow what caused them ．They saw food that they kept too long change color and begin to smellbad ．They saw cuts and wounds grow red and painful and become worse. They saw old plants and leaves and trees crumble apart on the forest floor and disappear into the soil ．Suchchanges were a natural part of the world ，but people did not understand them ．They did notknow these changes were evidence(证据) of tiny plants and animals growing all around them.( )31.Why couldn't people see microbes ？A ．Because they are too small ．B ．Because they live inside our body ．C ．Because they live far from humans ．D ．Because they may have been the first forms of life to be alive ． ( )32.The underlined phrase " c rumble apart" in the last paragraph means" "．A ．grow tallerB ．change into soilC ．break into tiny piecesD ．become colorful and energetic( )33.Choose the answer that completes the web below ．A ．Microbes are very smallB ．Microbes are all around usC ．People can't see microbesD ．Food begins to smell bad Evidence thatmicrobes existCuts and wounds get red and painful Leaves disappearinto soil?DFor years people have enjoyed following the life of Garfield the cat.Garfield is a popular comic book character, known for being lazy and fat.But the cat was back in the news recently for something you might not expect.A man in the United States changed the gender (性别) of Garfield to “none” on the cat’s Wikipedia (维基百科) page. After that lots of people got angry and kept changing Garfield’s Wikipedia page. They argued about whether the cat was a boy, girl or neither.Wikipedia finally locked the page to stop people editing it. Jim Davis, Garfield’s creator, settled (解决) the argument.“Garfield is male,” he simply told the Washington P ost. The 71-year-old artist said he liked working with animals because they didn’t have to be old, young, boys or girls. He was angry that some people cared so much about Garfield’s gender.It seems like quite an unnecessary argument to have. But it is not the only recent example of argument ab out gender.To celebrate International Women’s Day in Australia earlier this year, the city of Melbourne made 10 traffic lights with a figure (人形) dressed in a skirt. They were designed to celebrate women and give them more confidence in public.But not everyone thinks the idea is necessary. Some peo ple think it is important for women to be treated fairly in Australia, but that this idea is silly.“I’m all for doing anything we can for gender equity (公平), but really?” Melbourne mayor (市长) Robert Doyle told the Herald Sun. The mayor said this idea is more likely to be laughed at than bring respect to women.( )34. What put Garfield the cat back in the news recently?A. The cat’s lazy character.B. Being included in Wikipedia.C. The cat’s imag e being changed on Wikipedia.D. The cat’s gender being changed on Wikipedia.( )35. According to Jim Davis, _____.A. Wikipedia should lock the page about GarfieldB. Garfield can be a boy or a girl, and young or oldC. artists don’t care about animals’ age or genderD. it’s unnecessary to take Garfield’s gender seriously( )36. Why did Melbourne make 10 traffic lights with a figure dressed in a skirt?A. To laugh at women in publicB. To celebrate International Women’s DayC. To bring more chances to womenD. To treat women fairly in Australia( )37. What did Melbourne mayor Robert Doyle think of the traffic light idea?A. It would give women more confidence in public.B. It would help women be treated fairly in Australia.C. It would bring respect to women.D. It was not a good idea for gender equity.四、词汇检测（每空一词）38.Look at the two boys.

smile，that's why he sat very close to me and opened the book as if he was opening a treasure that （13）had ever seen．I watched his fingers move （14）under each letter as he struggled*to read out．Every time he（15）to read a word with a strange pronunciation，the biggest smile would spread across his face and his（16）would shine with pride，which broke my heart each and every time．A few weeks（17）the

study in？" We often hear such discussions．As China opens its door，it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad．They want to learn about the outside world．It's true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves．Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs．But there are problems that should be considered．Language is the first．Students must spend a lot of time learning another language．Students must also learn to live without parents' care and do with all kinds of things they haven't had to do before，like looking after themselves．There are reports about Chinese students abroad sinking into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally．When they have to take care of themselves，it is hard for students to study well．Finally，studying abroad brings a heavy burden*to the family．For most Chinese parents，the cost of studying abroad is very high．But is it worth？We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through their hard work in China．Liu Xiang is a good example．Once an American teacher invited him there，but he refused．He kept training hard with his Chinese coach．He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games．So when you wonder which country is better to study in，think again．26．There are disadvantages（about studying abroad）mentioned in the passage．A．oneB．twoC．threeD．four27．This short passage are mainly written for．A．students and teachersB．teachers and parentsC．students and parentsD．parents only28．After reading，which of the following probably is writer's opinion about studying abroad？A．Studying abroad is good for students' language skills．B．You should be more careful with the idea of studying abroad．C．Liuxiang is a good example of studying in America and China．D．Studying abroad is a good way for students to improve living skills．29．（8分）Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air．You name them work，family，health，friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air．You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball．If you drop it，it will bounce backBut the other four balls，family，health，friends and spirit，are made of glass．If you drop one of these，it will be broken and never be the same．You must understand that and try to have balance in your life．How ？Don't look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others．It is because we are different and each of us is special．Don't let other people set goals for you．Only you know what is best for yourself．Don't give up when you still have something to give．Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying．Don't be afraid of difficulties．It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave．Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible．The quickest way to receive love is to give it；the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly；the best way to keep love is to give it wings．Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been，but also where you are going．Don't be afraid to learn．Knowledge is weightless．It's a treasure you can always carry easily．Don't use time or words carelessly．You can't get them back．Yesterday is history，tomorrow is a mystery*，and today is a gift；that's why we call it "the present"．Life is not a competition，but a trip，step by step．29．According to the passage，the best way to keep love is to．A．say it's impossibleB．give itC．give it wingsD．hold it tightly30．The underlined phrase " bounce back"means that．A．reuseB．recallC．reviewD．return31．According to the passage，which of the following is true？A．Comparing yourself with others can make you different and special．B．Running through life fast may let us achieve our goals one day．C．To learn knowledge and face the difficulties will make us careful．D．Time will never return so we need to make good use of time．32．According to the passage，which is the best title ？A．Treat Your Life in a Right WayB．Glass Balls Are Easy to Be BrokenC．Things You Can't DoD．Nothing Is Impossible33．（8分）Indian scientists have designed a new device*that they hope will solve one of the biggest problems with the use of solar energy．They call the device a solar tree．Solar trees have metal "branches*" which are just from a tall pole at different levels．Each branch holds a solar panel*．These panels have large metal boards that collect energy from the sun and turn it into electricity．Daljit Singh Bedi is the main scientist at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research in India．Bedi says the shape of the solar trees makes it possible to fit more solar panels in a space than traditional systems do．This means less land would be needed to produce solar energy．"It takes about four square meters of space toproduce energy which may need 400square meters of space，" he says．Scientists believe the energy a solar tree collects will be enough to power five homes．The solar tree will make it easier to provide solar energy for homes in cities．The trees will also take less space from farmers in rural areas．Bedi says solar trees will collect more energy than normal solar panels on the tops of buildings．"This design makes the solar panels exposed*more towards the sun，" he says．"And that way people are able to use 10to 15percent more energy．"India has promised to reduce its greenhouse gas production．The country's promise depends heavily on increasing solar energy．The cost of solar panels has gone down in recent years．This has increased the possibility of applying*solar trees in India．Amit Kumar is the senior director of the Energy and Resources Institute in New Delhi．He says gaining access*to land takes time and increases costs．He adds that it is still not clear how useful these new developments in solar power technology are．"Only when we put those trees on a large scale*will we be able to get that answer，" he says．33．We may probably read this passage in．A．Culture ViewsB．Nature and ScienceC．Story BooksD．Travelling Guide Book34．Compared the traditional system，the main advantages of the solar tree is．A．we can see many "branches" in new solar treeB．it surely produces more energy than traditional systemC．it's reducing India's more greenhouse gas production nowD．fewer and fewer people will use it than traditional ones35．What does the underlined word " this" in the fourth paragraph refer to （指代）？A．greenhouse gas productionB．the solar panelsC．the new solar treeD．country's promise36．In the last paragraph，what do you think of what Amit Kumar said？37．（8分）Few of us have heard of Nils Bohlin，but whenever we take a car journey his invention makes us safer．Found in almost every modern car，the three﹣point seat belt reduces our chances of death or injury*by at least 50%．While feeling thankful to this engineer from Volvo，you may also wonder how he came up with such a great idea．Having worked as a plane designer before，Nils knew clearly that the pilots were willing to put on anything to keep them safe in an accident，but to his surprise，most people in the cars just didn't want to be uncomfortable for even a minute．To improve the safety for people in the cars，he decided to find a perfect system which should be simple，effective and convenient．In the end，he invented the three ﹣point seat belt，which has been considered as one of the greatest inventions in history．Seat belts prevent people in the cars from serious injury in five ways．Keep people inside．People who are thrown out from a car are four times more likely to be killed than those who stay inside．Protect the strongest parts of the body．Seat belts are designed to fix your body at its strongest parts．For an older child and adult，these parts are the hips*and shoulders．Spread out the force*in an accident．Seat belts spread the force of the accident over a wide area of the body．By putting less stress on one area，they can help you avoid serious injury．Help the body to slow down，A quick speed causes injury．With the help of the seat belts，your body can have more time to slow down in an accident．Protect your brain and spinal cord*．These two key parts injuries may be hard to seeimmediately，but they can cause death．Therefore，it's of great importance to protect these parts．It takes only a few seconds to buckle*up once you get in the car，but this simple action could save your life．Why wouldn't you？37．Three﹣point seat belts reduce chances of death or injury by at least．A．10%B．30%C．40%D．50%38．Nils Bohlin invented the three﹣point seat belt in order to．A．take a car journey quicklyB．show thanks to the engineerC．keep the pilots safe in an accidentD．make people in the cars safer39．From the passage we can learn．A．hips and shoulders aren't the older children and adults' strongest parts B．seat belts can keep your knees and feet away from the hard parts of the car C．the body has more time to slow down in an accident thanks to seat belts D．head and spinal cord injuries might be easy to see immediately in an accident 40．This passage is mainly about．A．how seat belts are madeB．how seat belts are usedC．how seat belts save livesD．how seat belts develop better四、词汇运用（每小题5分，共15分）41．（5分）选用所给单词并用适当的形式完成下列各句．41．Eve's dog has a strong habit．It likes to hide toys in dog house．42．Every Sunday people see Tom sit and watch his grandpa

Treat Your Life in a Right WayB. Glass Balls Are Easy to Be BrokenC. Things You Can’t DoD. Nothing Is ImpossibleCIndian scientists have designed a new device* that they hope will solve one of the biggest problems with the use of solar energy. They call the device a solar tree. Solar trees have metal “branches*” which are just from a tall pole at different levels. Each branch holds a solar panel*. These panels have large metal boards that collect energy from the sun and turn it into electricity.Daljit Singh Bedi is the main scientist at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research in India. Bedi says the shape of the solar trees makes it possible to fit more solar panels in a space than traditional systems do. This means less land would be needed to produce solar energy. “It takes about four square meters of space to produce energy which may need 400 square meters of space,” he says.Scientists believe the energy a solar tree collects will be enough to powerfive homes. The solar tree will make it easier to provide solar energy for homesin cities. The trees will also take less space from farmers in rural areas. Bedisays solar trees will collect more energy than normal solar panels on the tops ofbuildings. “This design makes the solar panels exposed* more towa rds thesun,” he says. “And that way people are able to use 10 to 15 percent moreenergy.”India has promised to reduce its greenhouse gas production. The country’s promise depends heavily on increasing solar energy. The cost of solar panels has gone down in recent years. This has increased the possibility of applying*solar trees in India.Amit Kumar is the senior director of the Energy and Resources Institute in New Delhi. He says gaining access* to land takes time and increases costs. He adds that it is still not clear how useful these new developments in solar power technology are. “Only when we put those trees on a large scale* will we be able to get that answer,” he says.33. We may probably read this passage in ___________.A.Culture ViewsB. Nature and ScienceC.Story BooksD. Travelling Guide Book34. Compared the traditional system, the main advantages of the solar tree is _____________.A. we can see many “branches” in new solar treeB. it surely produces more energy than traditional systemC. it’s reducing India’s more greenhouse gas production nowD. fewer and fewer people will use it than traditional ones35. What does the underlined word "this" in the fourth paragraph refer to (指代)？A. greenhouse gas productionB.the solar panelsC. the new solar treeD. country’s promise36. In the last paragraph, what do you think of what Amit Kumar said?_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________DFew of us have heard of Nils Bohlin, but whenever we take a car journey hisinvention makes us safer. Found in almost every modern car, the three-point seat beltreduces our chances of death or injury* by at least 50% . While feeling thankful to thise ngineer from Volvo, you may also wonder how he came up with such a great idea.Having worked as a plane designer before, Nils knew clearly that the pilots werewilling to put on anything to keep them safe in an accident, but to his surprise, most people in the cars just didn’t want to be uncomfortable for even a minute. To improve the safety for people in the cars, he decided to find a perfect system which should be simple, effective and convenient. In the end, he invented the three-point seat belt, which has been considered as one of the greatest inventions in history.Seat belts prevent people in the cars from serious injury in five ways.Keep people inside. People who are thrown out from a car are four times more likely to be killed than those who stay inside.Protect the strongest parts of the body. Seat belts are designed to fix your body at its strongest parts. For an older child and adult, these parts are the hips* and shoulders.Spread out the force* in an accident. Seat belts spread the force of the accident over a wide area of the body. By putting less stress on one area, they can help you avoid serious injury.Help the body to slow down, A quick speed causes injury. With the help of the seat belts, your body can have more time to slow down in an accident.Protect your brain and spinal cord*. These two key parts injuries may be hard to see immediately, but they can cause death. Therefore, it’s of great importance to protect these parts.It takes only a few seconds to buckle* up once you get in the car, but this s imple action could save your life. Why wouldn’t you?37.
