2013中考英语试题及答案

2013中考英语试题及答案各位读友大家好，此文档由网络收集而来，欢迎您下载，谢谢2013中考英语试题及答案2013年中考英语精品复习资料阅读理解篇（二）议论文（6）A famous study was done in a school by a professor(教授) from a university．At the start of the school year，the teachers were given the names of five children．They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class．But the fact was that these students were only average(中等)，and they were not the best students at all．Well，guess what? At the end of the year，all the five average students scored among the highest in the class．What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers’attitude(态度)．Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students，they expected(期望) more from them．And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves．So they worked harder to do as well as they could．Do you know? If you expect the best from people，they’ll usually want to give you their best．A great leader said，“Treat(对待) a person just how he appears to be on the outside，and you’ll make him even worse．But treat a person like he’s already a success，and you’ll help make him the best he can be．”Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny，his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said，“Johnny，you’re the naug htiest(最顽皮的) boy in this class．I’m sure you’ll never change．”The next year Johnny had a new teacher．And on the first day of class，she met with Johnny after school and said，“Jo hnny，I’ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don’t believe a word of it．”And everyday after that，this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things．Later on，Johnny became a school leader．Because that’s the power of our belief(信任) and attitude toward children．根据短文内容，选择正确答案。

Some science books tell us about animals. Some tell us about plants. Some tell us about outer space. This page tells us about animals.Do you know that not only the fish but also some animals live in the sea? For example, the whale is not a fish. It can’t breathe in the water. It swims in the water. But it es up for air.The blue whale is the world’s biggest animal. There are other sea animals, too. One is called the dolphin. Dolphins need air to live. They breathe air, as whales do. Dolphins are very clever. They sometimes seem to speak to each other.Many other animals live near the sea. Seals（海豹）and otters（水獭）love the sea. They swim and play there. They eat fish and sea plants. Seals and otters have thick fur. The fur keeps them warm.( )36. The passage mainly tells us about ____________.A. fishesB. plantsC.science D. sea animals( )37. The blue whales live in the sea. They breathe air as ______do.A. dolphinsB. fishC. crocodilesD. sea plants( )38. Which of the sentences below is NOT true?A. The whale can swim in the sea like a fish.B.

The cups often have special covers and saucers(茶碟). The covers can keep the water warm.People who go to the teahouses are not all thirsty. Retired(退休)people pay a little money to the teahouses and then sit there all day long to chat with others. Sometimes, people have parties in the teahouses. They eat fruit and sunflower seeds(瓜子)while they chat and return home when they are tired. Teahouses are also good places for peopleto talk about businesses. Some of the teahouses even have stages for performances, such as storytelling, cross talk and Sichuan Opera. Sometimes when people have a quarrel, a mediator(调解员)will bring them to the teahouse. After their problem is solved, the person who is wrong will pay for the tea. It is interesting that as soon as the quarrelers enter the teahouse and sit down to drink tea, they have almost calmed down. With the help of the mediator, their problems can be easily solved then. Maybe we can say the teahouses have some special social functions.41．Chengdu has the best teahouses in China because _____.A．the serving of the teahouses in Chengdu is very specialB．there are many people in ChengduteahousesC．there are many old men in ChengduteahousesD．the cups in Chengduteahouses are old42．People in Chengdu’s teahouses may _____ while they are drinking according to the passage.A．enjoy interesting stories B．watch moviesC．listen to Beijing Opera D．quarrel in loud voice43．Who will pay for the tea after the mediator solve some problems?A．The mediator himself B．The person who caused the problem C．All the persons in the teahouse D．The owner of the teahouse 44．This passage is taken from some newspaper.

D．The education part.45．This passage mainly talks about _______.A．how to make tea B．how to open a teahouse C．the special functions of the teahouses D．the special way of enjoying teaDYou probably know you should say” please” and“thank you ” at restaurants. You probably know the rulesof a library. You know you should respect and be nice toyour classmates. But do you have music manners?Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of yourmusic. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can’t hear the w ords of the song. They just hear a loud sound. Not one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears, so even if you are alone when listening to our MP3 player, you shouldn’t have it turned up too high.Take Them off! You need to know when to turn your MP3 player off and put it away. Libraries and schools don’t allow MP3 players. There are other places, like museums, that don’t have rules,but i t would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it just doesn’t make sense to liste n to your MP3 player at event. Why would you listento music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.Take One Out! Once in a while it’s okay just to take out one earphone and not ot her. Imagine you are listening to your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell him the way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it’s not for you.It’s Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 Players when read books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you. ( )46. The underlined word “volume” in Paragraph Two probably means” _____.A. the type of musicB. the amount of a soundC. the length of a songD. the colour of and MP3 player( )47. No one w ants to listen to _____ from others’ MP3 player.A. a loud soundB. sad storiesC. a long movie he words of a song( )48. We can take one earphone out when we _____.A. show others the wayB. talk to fiends on the phoneC. watch a sporting eventD. have dinner with our parents( )49. It’s all right to use our MPS player in _____.A. schoolsB. librariesC. restaurantsD. museums( )50. What can be the best title of this passage?A. Music LoversB. Music MannersC. MP3 PlayersD.

In summer, she often makes colourful bouquets(花束) and puts them inside the houses-both hers and mine.One year, shortly before Christmas, a local flower shop offered an activity for mothers in each month of the next year. It seemed to be a great way to thank her for all of the flowers she had given me through the years. I couldn't wait the new year so that I could give a bouquet to her!After the Christmas, in early January, I drove her to the flower shop to pick up her first month's bouquet. But then we found the bouquet would hardly fill a small vase(花瓶).I was so embarrassed(尴尬的). "Mum, I'm sorry," I told her. "I didn't know how skimpy that bouquet was." She looked at me and smiled. "It's okay," she said optimistically (乐观地). "It allows me to enjoy the beauty of each one better."I was amazed at what she said. It helped me realize something more important —we often fail to enjoy the beauty of each thing when we have too many good things. I understood that less is sometimes more.46.

His mother has a heart disease and is almost blind. Tian’s father was a farmer and the only working member of the family. In 2003, Tian’s father died in a car accident. The 11-year-old Tian then had to take care of his family by himself.The hard life didn’t keep Tian down; instead, it made him even stronger. He studied hard and took care of his mother.In 2008, Tian entered Dawu No. 1 Middle School. The school was far away from his home and he only had half a day off every month. Tian couldn’t leave his blind mother alone, so he decided to rent a house near the school. Every day after school, Tian went back to the small house to cook for his mother.Looking after his mother takes up a lot of Tian’s time and energy, but he still does well in school. This summer, he got a high mark of 602 in the college entrance examination and was accepted by Central China Normal University.Tian’s story has received a lot of public attention.

But what’s the story about the Apple logo? The image of the apple is obvious, because that’s the name of the company. What about the bite? The famous story is that the logoshows respect(尊敬) and honour for Alan Turing. He was the father of computer science. He researched artificial intelligence(人工智能) and unlocked German wartime codes(密码). However, after the war, he was put into prison, because of his beliefs．He could not stand the looking down and chose to bite a poisoned apple to end his life in the prison.However, Rob Janoff, who designed the famous Apple logo, said, ―It’s not the truth, but only a legend(传说). The real reason why I designed it with a bite is very simple. I wanted people to get that it was an apple not a cherry. When I go to markets to buy apples, I always mistake apples for cherries. It really has nothing to do with the scientist.‖Are you kidding? An apple is much bigger than a cherry. It’s very easy to tell.

The more the butterfly tried to free itself, the deeper the thorn cut into its body. The girl carefully helped the butterfly out.

On April 26, 2005 Kuomintang leader, Lien Chan, visited the mainland and three days later, President Hu Jintao held talks with him. This is the first meeting in 56 years and may help to bring peace across the Taiwan Straits(海峡).How much do you know about this beautiful island? The island faces Fujian. The shortest distance from Taiwan to Fujian is 130 kilometres across the Taiwan Straits. A ship can cover it in four hours.As the biggest island, Taiwan is still only about one-sixth the size of Hunan. Around it, there are also lots of smaller ones, like Penghu Islands and Diaoyu Islands.Taiwan is rich in natural resources (资源). Half of the island is covered with forests, and it has many kinds of agricultural products(农产品), like rice and tea.Taiwanese people are mostly descendants (后代) of people from Fujian and Guangdong. They still use the language from their old hometowns. They also celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival. At the Spring Festival, they even eat dumplings!Once, communications across the Straits were not so good. In 1979, Beijing put forward an idea that Taiwanese people should use better ways of communicating and build better business and transportation. There is now more business and tourism(旅游业) across the Straits. On July 4, 2008, the first direct flights between Taiwan and five mainland cities such as Beijing, Shanghai Nanjing, Guangzhou and Xiamen started up.As we all know, Taiwan is always an important part of our country. We are one big family. But some top leaders in Taiwan like Lee Tenghui and Chen Shuibian have been trying to make Taiwan an independent(独立) country. This made people on both sides angry, because it goes against the history and the wishes of all the Chinese.36. What will Hu Jintao‟s talk with Lien Chan bring across the Taiwan Straits?A. Resources.B. Meetings.C. TourismD. Peace.37. How long does it take to go to Taiwan from Fujian by ship?A. 56 years.B. 26 days.C. 4 hours.D. 130 hours.38. Why do most Taiwanese celebrate Chinese traditional festivals?A. Because they like eating traditional Chinese food very much.B. Because they are Chinese in fact.C. Because they would rather celebrate Chinese festivals than Western festivals.D. Because Chinese traditional festivals are popular in the world now.39. What made people on both sides angry?A. There were no important meetings between the leaders on both sides.B. There was no business and tourism across the Straits for many years.C. People on both sides couldn‟t visit each other by air.D. Some top leaders in Taiwan have been trying to make Taiwan an independent country.40. Which of the following is the best title(标题) of the passage?A. The Beautiful IslandB. We Are OneC. The Rich IslandD. Y ou and MeCMany companies use guards and expensive alarm systems to protect their property (财产). Soon a new kind of protection will be used –mobile robots. Engineers have been working on the first mobile robots for businesses. The robots will patrol (巡逻) factories, warehouses (仓库), and museums at night.The mobile robots will move around slowly on wheels. They will be able to detect people through walls and pick up sounds, such as breaking glass. They can be fixed with loud sirens (警笛) to frighten thieves, or radios to signal police or guards.To protect a building, a robot will have to move around without knocking into the walls. Information about the building will have to be stored in the robot’s small, built-in computer. A floor map could be programmed into the computer’s memory, for example.A mobile robot will not be able to do everything. Unlike human guards, it will not be able to climb stairs, open doors, or move along rough (崎岖不平的) ground. It won’t be able to tell the difference between friends and enemies. Because of that, people will have to be barred from the area it patrols.One kind of mobile robot will be able to “sense”whether a chair or box has been moved and go around it. This robot will also judge size well enough so that it won’t send an alarm if a cat crosses the room. And if someone tries to steal this robot, it will sound a loud, painful siren. The three-foot-tall robot will be hard to steal anyway. It will weigh about 200 pounds.U.S. companies pay almost $10 billion a year to protect their property with alarm systems and human guards. Mobile robots may be cheaper.41. Why is the new kind of robots called mobile robots?A. Because they are able to climb stairs.B. Because they are able to send an alarm.C. Because they can open doors.D. Because they can move around slowly on wheels.42. How will a robot get directions for moving around a building?A. From a human guard.B. From a built-in computer.C. From another robot.D. From radio signals.43. What does the underlined word “barred”mean?A. protectedB. allowedC. markedD. prevented44. According to the text, a mobile robot will NOT be able to .A. sense whether something has been movedB. sense a cat crossing the roomC. move over rough groundD. detect people through walls45. This text mainly describes how robots will .A. protect museumsB. set off a sirenC. judge the size of a personD. patrol buildingsDWe may be very pleased with the rapid progress we have made in every field of study, but the way to test a student‟s knowledge and ability is still as poor as it was. We have almost done nothing to improve our examination system .It is well known that the examination system we are now using may be a good way of testing a student‟s memory, but it can tell you nothing about a student‟s ability. It does no good to students and teachers.As soon as a child begins to go to school, he enters a world of all kinds of examinations that will decide his future or job.In fact, a good examination system should train a student to think for himself, but it now does anything but that. So the students are encouraged to remember what is taught. It doesn‟t enable them to get more and more knowledge. The students who come out first in the examination often may not be the best in their studies.Besides, the examination often drives teachers to cram (填鸭式地教) all the time. They can‟t teach freely. They are forced to train students what to do with the coming examination from time to time.There must be some simpler an d better way to test a student‟s true ability besides knowledge. And that is what we should do at once.46. The main idea of the passage is about ______.A. working hard at examinations.B. having no examinationsC. testing a student‟s knowledgeD. making the examination system improved47. Now the examination is mainly______.A. to test a student‟s abilityB. to test a student‟s memoryC. to test a teacher‟s memoryD. None of the above.48. From the passage, we know that toda y‟s examinations are very important to ______.A. a student‟s friendB. a student‟s healthC. a student‟s futureD. a student‟s progress49. Which of the following should be the right aim (目的) to give students examinations?A. To get a good job.B. To test students‟ abilities.C. To make parents and teachers happy.D. Only to remember what is taught.50. Which of the following is true according to this article?A. The Examination never drive teachers to cram.B. We have completely(完全) changed the examination system now.C. A good examination system should train the students to think for himself.D. We shouldn‟t change the examination system.四．词形变化1.
