真题讲解

中考英语考查数词的方式有两种：

1）

选择最恰当的答案

2）

用括号中所给单词的适当形式完成下列句子

中考英语“用括号中所给单词的适当形式完成下列句子”

1. Mum made a big chocolate cake for little Kevin’s birthday.(six)

本题考查基数词和序数词的转换。根据题意为“Kevin 的六岁生日”，应该用序数词形式，six 的序数词形式是sixth。所以本题答案为 sixth。

2. We still need more chairs for the meeting room.(ninth)

本题考查序数词转换为基数词。括号中的序数词ninth 表示“第九”，根据句意“我们还需要为会议室准备九把椅子”，正确的形式应该是基数词 nine。所以本题答案应为 nine。

中考英语选择题

Now children, turn to page and look at the picture in Lesson Two.

A. twentieth, one B. twenty, one C. twentieth, first D. twenty, first

本题考查基数词和序数词的运用。根据题意以及基数词和序数词的运用规则，前面空格应该是基数词，即 page twenty, 后面空格应该是序数词，即 the first picture, 因此本题正确选项为D。

阅读理解 A 篇 专题（3）主旨大意归纳题

考查对整个语段的主题、中心思想、文章的结构层次（主题句或主题段）、作者写作目的等的理解和把握能力，属于深层理解题。要求能灵活运用推断、归纳、推理等方法来分析、提炼段落大意，

概括中心思想。主要有以下两种题型：

（1）

推理型主旨题：也是推理判断题的一种，要求在准确理解全文后归纳短文要点、概括中心思想 ，或者分析和归纳段落大意、重要情节、人物特征和环境特点等。该题型检测考生掌握阅读材料的主旨大意的能力，要求在理解全文的基础上对文章或段落的中心意思进行概括和总结。

（2）

标题型主旨题：常考题型，要能分析、归纳文章要点，要需要有高度的概括能力。答题时，可先找出各段的主题句（一篇文章的主题句常出现在开头段、结尾段、每一段的句首、首段和尾段中出现转折词语处等），然后进行总结和概括。需注意：标题要能覆盖整篇文章的内容，要有针对性。

常见命题形式：

What is the passage about?

This passage mainly talks about .

In this passage the writer wants to tell us that

The passage tells us that .

What is the best title of the passage?

What is the main idea of the passage?

What can we learn from the passage?

.

解题方法：

领会全文大意，灵活运用判断、归纳、推理等逻辑方法，真正理解文章的主题和中心思想。 一般而言，英语文章的主题往往用很少几个词加以概括，通常具体反映在文章的题目或一段短

文的小标题上。不少文章一开头便展示出文章的主题，特别是新闻报道，第一段通常是故事的梗概，

这一段往往表达了文章的中心思想，但也要注意，不少文章的中心思想也常贯穿与全文之中。

英语文章讲究主题句和主题段。主题段通常简要概括文章中心思想，而主题句常在一段的开头，

也有可能在段中或段末，其作用是交待该段的中心思想，段与段之间常有词语连接，承上启下，使文章连贯。要准确地理解一篇文章必须对文章的结构有所了解，把握住文章的脉络，即句与句之间、段与段之间的逻辑关系。

Passage 1

11 / 16

Can art be ud as an alternative(替代物) to traditional methods of getting better? Some believe that

colour has a direct effect on certain energy of the body and can heal some illness. When we try to explain

the reason, however, is it really a cure or does it simply provide a calm and comforting environment for the

mind? Can art really heal illness? Some say yes. Whether it is the teachings of ancient healing practices or

the calming effects of colours, art can heal the mind. And with all of unwanted side effects of traditional

medicine, why not turn to art for healing?

Valerie Hopkins is an expert who studies this topic. “The artwork distracts(转移注意) the patients,

forcing them to think about something other than the pain they may be feeling,” says Vallerie Hopkins.

“And with so many people getting sick every day, it is a good idea to surround ourlves with beauty.”

“Art provides an interesting topic for conversation and keeps patients’ minds off their injuries in

therapy( 治 疗 ) for a few minutes,” says Gleason, a doctor and Valerie’s friend. “It’s also a good way to

connect with patients.” Although Gleason is not sure, he does believe that the atmosphere and the bright

colours that art adds to his office excite his patients’ n of well-being and hopefulness.

“I believe that art opens the mind to new possibilities, creates energy and happiness, and provides that

soul with comfort,” says Gleason. “We hope that it can help patients to work hard on their treatments. I

really believe that their attitude and effort make a huge difference in the results they get.”

( ) What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Art Is Everywhere B. Art Opens Your Mind

C. Art Has Special Effects D. Art Gives People Happiness

【答案&解析】考查语篇主旨大意的归纳。A、B、D 都比较片面，故 C 答案最佳。

Passage 2

You probably know you should say “plea” and” thank you” at restaurants. You probably know the

rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music

manners?

Keep It Down! You have to notice the volume of your music. 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 words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No 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 muums, that don’t have rules, but it would

be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it just doesn’t make n to listen your MP3 player at

event. Why would you listen to 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 other. Imagine you are

listening on 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 cas like this,

you need to do what ems right for you.

12 / 16

( ) What can be the best title of this passage?

A. Music Lovers B. Music Manners

C. MP3 Players D. MP3 Earphones

【答案&解析】考查语篇主旨大意理解和归纳。从文中第一段最后一句及各段落的大意可知，答案是 B。

Passage 3

If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are

wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?

According to a new study by a British university, learning a cond language can lead to an increa in

your brain powder. Rearchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of

the brain which process information. It is similar to the way that exerci builds you up.

The study also found the younger a person learns a cond language, the greater the effect.

A team led by Dr Anrea Mechelli, from University College London, studied a group of Britons who

only spoke English. There were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a cond

language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.

Scans(扫描检查) showed that grey matter density(密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in

people without a cond language. But the longer a person waited before learning a new language, the

smaller the difference. “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of

learning a cond language”, said the scientists. It means that the change itlf increas the ability to learn.

Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales has rearched the link between bilingualism

and Maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more

flexible(灵活的)”, he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better

understanding of different ideas.”

The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a cond

language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results

showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to

another world”, explained the scientists.

( ) The main subject talked about in this passage is .

A. scientific rearch on learning a cond language

B. man’s ability to learn a cond language

C. language learning can make the brain powerful

D. language learning and Maths study

【答案&解析】考查语篇主旨大意理解和归纳。文章主要讲述了学习外语的益处，并且通过科学实验印证观点，故答案是A。

Passage 4

Katy Perry became the most popular person on twitter in 2013 and,

with nearly 70 million followers(拥护者), she was still the most popular

person on Twitter in 2014. She is so popular that she is still the Queen of

Twitter.

It ems the Grammy Awards just don’t favour Katy Perry—the US

singer and songwriter has been nominated(提名……为候选人) 13 times

13 / 16

for her music without ever taking home a prize. But Twitter urs and music lovers obviously don’t e eye

to eye with the award committee.

In an interview with USA Today she shared her crets to successfully managing social media, giving

tips such as “don’t u it just to promote yourlf”, “don’t be lf-indulgent(放松自己)” and “ignore your

haters”.

On social media, Katy doesn’t fight back against every rumour or criticism. Her great music also

keeps her style consistent. She sticks to herlf and pays no attention to anyone who says otherwi.

This year, the pop star brought her Prismatic World Tour to Guangzhou and Shanghai. Tickets were

sold out shortly after they went on sale online.

Katy first made her entrance into the music business in 2008 with her hit single I Kisd a Girl, and

she came to international fame with the album Teenage Dream in 2010. Katy was unwilling to join the

ranks of the average pop-rock idols, and she developed a controversial(有争议的) style with her colourful

dress and straightforward lyrics. In a conversation with USA Today, Katy offered up this obrvation: “If

you tried to plea everyone, you’d have no n of lf. You’d lo yourlf in the process of being a

people-plear and there’d be nothing unique left.”

( ) What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Katy Perry became successful by making everyone happy.

B. Katy Perry is very popular and sticks to being herlf.

C. Katy Perry finally won a Grammy Award.

D. Katy Perry is popular with both Twitter urs and the award committee.

【答案&解析】考查语篇主旨大意理解和归纳。从文中可以概括 Katy Perry 深受欢迎并且坚持做自己，而不是为了取悦他人而失去自己的主见。故答案是B。

Passage 1

“Everything happens for the best,” my mother said whenever I faced disappointment. “If you can carry

on, one day something good will happen.”

After graduating from college in 1932, I decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to

In one studio ( 演 播 室 ), a nice lady told me that big stations didn’t want to accept inexperienced

person — “Go to the countryside and find a small station that’ll give you a chance,” she said.

I returned home, Dixon in Illinois. While there were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father

said Smith Ward had opened a store and wanted a local sportsman to manage its sports department. Since I

had played high school football in Dixon, I applied. The job sounded just right for me, but I still failed in

the interview.

At that moment, mom’s words came to my mind: “Everything happens for the best.” Dad offered me

the car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport in Iowa. The program director, named Peter

MacArthur, told me they had already had an announcer.

As I left his office, I felt frustrated. I asked aloud, “How can a man become a sport announcer if he

can’t get a job in a radio station?”

I was waiting for the lift when I heard MacArthur calling, “What did you say about sports? Do you

know anything about football?” Then he made me stand before a microphone (麦克风) and asked me to

broadcast an imaginary ( 想 象 的 ) game. As a result, I did a wonderful job and was told to broadcast

Saturday’s game!

On my way home, I thought of my mother’s words again, “Everything happens for the best. If you can

carry on, one day something good will happen.”

Passage 2

For 99% of human history, people took their food from the world around them. They ate all that they

could find, and then moved on. Then about 10,000 years ago, or for 1% of human history, people learned to

farm the land.

The kind of food we eat depends on which part of the world we live in, or

which part of our country we live in. For example, in the south of China they eat

rice, but in the north they eat noodles. In European countries near the a, people

eat a lot of fishes. In central (中部) Europe, away from the a, people don’t eat

so much fish, they eat more meat. In Germany and Poland there are hundreds of

different kinds of sausages.

In North America, Australia, and Europe, people eat with knives and forks. In China, people eat with

chopsticks. In parts of India and the Middle East people u their fingers and bread to pick up food.

Nowadays it is possible to transport (运输) food easily from one part of the world to the other. We can

from India or the USA; strawberries come from Chile or Spain. Food is very big business. But people in
