TEST 29建议用时：45分钟总分：50分得分:______AHold your head up highI was 15 months old, a happy and carefree kid, until the day I fell. It was a bad fall. I landed on a piece of glass that cut my eye badly. From then on, my injured, sightless, cloudy gray eye lived on with me.Sometimes people asked me embarrassing (使人难堪的) questions. Whenever kids played games, I was the “monster”. I was always imagining that everyone looked down on (瞧不起) me.Yet mum would say to me, “Hold your head up high and face the world.” I began to depend on that saying.As a child, I thought mum meant, “Be careful, or you will fall down or bump into something because you are not looking.” As a teenager, I usually looked down to hide my shame. But I found that when I held my head up high, people liked me.In high school I even became the class president, but on the inside I still felt like a monster. All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mum and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, “Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is inside instead of your appearance (外貌).”My mum’s love was the sunshine that made me bright. I had faced hard times, and learned not only to be confident but also to have deep compassion (同情) for others.“Hold your head up high” has been heard many times in my home. I say it to my children. The gift my mum gave me will live on.( ) 1. The world “carefree” in the first line probably means“______” in Chi nese.A.无忧无虑的B.无拘无束的C.小心翼翼的D.与众不同的( ) 2.

They can be as important as what you will do in the future or as simple as what you will eat for breakfast. Any decision could be the turning point of your life.I made an important decision when I was in Junior 3.Before I made that decision I was one of the boys who tried too hard to act as an adult. I didn’t know that only kids want to show themselves as adults.I didn’t listen to my parents and teachers, and my grades became poor. Then came the high school entrance exam.At the turning point of my life, my mom wanted to have a conversation with me. I wanted to turn it down but when I looked at her eyes, I felt I couldn’t refuse. Instead of asking me to study hard, to my surprise, Mom just asked what I wanted to do in the future. Without thinking too much, I just said I would like to study hard.Mom smiled and asked again: “I asked: what do you WANT to do?”I never seriously thought about the question. So, I kept silent.“Whether you want to go on studying or enter the society,” she went on, “it is your own decision. Your life ought to be decided by you, not by anyone else, including me.” After saying that, she had tears in her eyes.For the first time in my life I was asked to make my own decision. I sat in my chair and thought about myself, my life and what kind of person I wanted to become.It took me what seemed to be ages to make the biggest decision so far in my life—I wanted to be a man who makes a difference in the world. To achieve that, I needed to study hard.The path to my future became clear to me. I didn’t act rebelliously (叛逆地) any more. With passion (激情) in my heart, I studied hard.Now, I’m 17 and I’m in one of the best schools in my city, in one of the best classes at the school and I am one of the best students in the class.Thanks to that decision, I have become what I am today.( ) 1. When did the writer make the important decision?A. After he was 17 years old.B. After he was in one of the best classes.C. When he was a pupil.D. When he was studying in Junior 3.( ) 2. What was the writer like before the decision?A. His grades became poor.B. He tried too hard not to act as an adult.C. He was one of the top students in his class.D.

He made the decision seriously.D. It was his mother that made the decision for him.( ) 4. Why did the writer make the decision?A. Because his teacher talked with him patiently.B. Because he didn’t want to act rebelliously any more.C. Because his mother asked him to study hard as usual.D. Because his father asked him to think about his future by himself.( ) 5.

Butthere is a new mobile game that may change your opinion about it, andyou might even learn something while you play it-Meet Sortee.Meet Sortee is a puzzle game developed by Flow Studio, a UK company.It makes you think deeply about everyday objects (物体) and their meanings.The rule of the game is quite simple. Two bins are placed on either side of the screen. Each of the bins has a label (标签) next to it and the label explains what it is for. When an object, such as a car or an apple, appears on the screen, you need to decide which bin it should be sorted into and then send it there by moving your finger.The game seems easy enough at first. But as you move on to more levels, it gets harder. The number of bins increases (增长) to three or four and the time given gets shorter. You need to think and move faster. That can be really difficult.There are 400 objects in total and more than 100 bins in the game. The more objects you correctly sort, the more game coins you can get. It’s a bit like working in a rubbish recycling center, but it has no bad smell.You can downl oad the free game from Apple’s app store (苹果软件下载中心)，but it only lets you play the first few levels. If you want to open the next 40 levels, you need to pay 6 yuan for the full game.( ) 1. The passage is probably taken from ______.A. a postcardB. a newspaperC. a comic bookD. a novel( ) 2. Of the following, which order is right according to the third paragraph?①An object appears on the screen.②You send it by moving your finger.③Two bins are placed on either side of the screen.④You decide which bin to sort the object into.A. ④③②①B. ①④③②C. ③①④②D. ③②④①( ) 3. Which of the following can we infer (推断) from the passage?A. You can play the full game for free.B. You can play the full game easily.C. There are only 2 bins is each level.D. There are over 40 levels in the game.( ) 4. The writer of the passage thinks ______.A. the rule of the game is quite difficult.B. rubbish sorting in the game is boring.C. the rubbish smells good in a rubbish recycling center.D. the game can help people learn about rubbish sorting.( ) 5. What’s the best title of the passage?A. A mobile game.B. Rubbish sorting.C. Apple’s app store.D. A recycling centerDThe summer is coming, and the storms are often. They happenoften, but some people don’t take them seriously. In fact, it’svery dangerous for people and it even can make people die at once.So how do we keep safe during a lightning storm?If you are indoors, stay away from windows and doors during alightning storm. Don’t t ake a shower or do some dishes, because lightning can travel through water. Turn off the TV and computer. My computer was once broken. Never use telephone. Lightning could travel through the phone line and hit you.If you are outdoors during a lightning storm, never take shelter (避雨) under a tree, becausethe lightning could hit the tree and travel through the trees to hit you. Stay away from anything that is metal. Try to get in your car and close all the windows or go into a nearby building right away. I f there’s no building around, try to find a low place to stay. Squat (蹲下) down near the ground and put your hands over your ears. Never use a cell phone.根据短文内容，判断下列句子正误。

Without snakes, perhaps we would find mice everywhere, Most of us, however, woul d rather see a mouse than a snake, The poison argument( 毒性的争论)is a strong one, Some snakes are poisonous, and this causes people’s death , However, the poisonous snakes are only a small number. We can’t say all the snakes are bad just because of a few dangerous ones. And what d o we do with the people who really like snakes? They like snakes even more strongly than we dislike them. These people learn about them, find them out, and watch them carefully, Why? The only reason I can think of is that these people are open-minded, They are abl e to put asid e differences and welcome the snake as a friend.Whatever the reason for our like or dislike, snakes d o something good in the circle of life.They would prefer to be left alone, and that is what we should d o, If you’re lucky, you might not run across more than a few of them in a lifetime, That would be fine with most of us.15．How d oes the writer d escribe the appearance of snakes?A．Something even without legs.B．Something not popular among people.C．A person who is neutral.D．A person who cares about nothing.16．Which of the foll owing shows that most peopl e dislike snakes?A．They wel come snakes as their best friends.B．They would rather see a mouse than a snake.C．They wonder why snakes can cause great fear.D．They learn about snakes and watch them carefully.17．Although some snakes are poisonous, _______.A．they cause many people’s deathB．they control the population of miceC．they are not dangerous to peopl eD．they are only a small number18．The last paragraph seems to tell us that the writer _______.A．dislikes snakesB．has the best luckC．l oves snakesD．prefers to be l eft al oneThe Westwood Mid dl e School has d ecid ed to hol d a blood drive (献血活动), and you can help.Help with The Blood DriveThe School is holding a bl ood drive for teachers, parents, and town people.

This is exactly what happened with Du Haotian, a student from Shaanxi province. The potato chips Du is making are called guoba, usually made of millet rice（小米）, but here Du chose col ored potatoes as the ingredients（原料）.Zhenba, in the south of Shaanxi, has been trying to sell high-quality（质量）potatoes. But the sales are at a l ow l evel. Du, a stud ent of Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University, together with his team, introduced col orful potatoes and mad e them into crispy, fried potato snacks. After trying again and again, it gradually turned into a popular snack at Du’sunive rsity. At the end of last year, Du’s team set up their own factory in the village to plant and produce the snacks locally. At the beginning of this year, the production line was put into use.However, whil e helping the local community, Du was under pressure to graduate. Although he was supposed to graduate in June 2020, Du offered to put off graduation for one year. Du said the production line project was still on the way and he wanted to live up to the expectations of the villagers. “A lot of my friends a nd teachers told me not to do that. But if the factory is built but does not run well, it woul d be against my original intention（初心）.” Finally, Du’s teacher supported him.Recently, Du’s potato snacks took part in a college food competition. His product w as once in the first place with the support of many local villagers, which touched Du. “Rural revitalization（乡村振兴）depends on industrial revitalization. I want to make an effort with my hard work in this process.”22．What’s Du’s guoba made of?A．millet rice B．crispy corn C．sweet potatoes D．col orful potatoes23．How did Du’s team help potato sal es in Zhenba?A．They planted high-quality potatoes.

Well, some people can’t recognize this many because of colorblindness. If someone iscol orblind, that means he can’t see as many col ors as others –or, in rare cases, can’t see col ors at all.Thankfully, special glasses have already been made to help fix some types ofcol orblindness. Now, according to a recent research, scientists have brought this solution one step further. Karepov and Ellenbogen, engineers from Israel have found a way to apply this technology to contact lenses (隐形眼镜). This method is so creative because it can solve many different kinds of visual (视力的) problems.People are able to see color because of how the eye is structured. At the back of our eyes, there’re three different kinds of cells that absorb (吸收) light waves. When light waves are absorbed, the cells send a message to the brain for the image to be processed.If something is wrong with these cells, this can cause probl ems when the brain processes the image. One of the most common types of colorblindness is red-greencol orblindness. People who have this specific type of visual imperfection have difficulty telling apart the col ors red and green.“It would influence simple daily routines such as telling the col ors of traffic lights,” Karepov explained. He also stressed the importance of using this finding to create special contact lenses instead of relying on col or-correcting glasses.Whet her you prefer to wear glasses or contacts, it’s nice to know that people who are col orblind will soon be able to choose between the two, as well.31．The writer leads in the topic by _______ at the beginning of the passage.A．describing a fact B．listing a numberC．asking a question D．giving an example32．The second paragraph mainly tells us about _______ colorblindness.A．the main cause of B．the different kinds ofC．a simpl e tool to find D．a new method to fix33．The und erlined word “imperfection” in Parag raph 4 is cl osest in meaning to _______.A．experience B．weakness C．language D．examination34．The overall tone (总基调) of the passage is _______.A．personal and d oubtful B．sad but humorousC．scientific and promising D．informative but meaninglessOne of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. Peopl e d o this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to d o this in a foreign language, too.

These imports also include solid waste, such as plastics, paper and metals. They mainly come from countries like the United States, the United Kingd om and Japan.These goods will no l onger be imported next year. China will ban(禁止) all imports of solid waste starting from Jan 1, 2021, said the Ministry of Ecol ogy and Environment(MEE).Why d oes China import this waste? In 1980, China’s economy(经济) was gradually taking off because of the reform and opening-up policy(改革开放政策). The country’s factories didn’t have enough raw materials(原材料) at that time. Therefore, China began importing solid waste. After being processed, it can be turned into materials that are used to make other products.For years, China has been the worl d’s largest importer of solid waste, with about 45 million tons arriving each year. Countries that send this waste to China pay about $25(163 yuan) to $50 per ton for recycling, China News Agency reported.Although the waste has helped develop China’s economy, it has brought more risks than benefits. Waste that can’t be used is either burned or buried(填埋). The water used to wash the waste is all owed to fl ow into nearby rivers. This has polluted the air, soil and water, posing a risk to public health, China Daily reported.China has made some efforts to ban waste since 2017. From 2017 to 2019, imports of solid waste fell by 68 percent, dropping from 42 million to 13 million tons, Xinhua reported.What about China’s waste?China can produce enough raw materials to support its economy now. However, it is also producing a rapidly-increasing amount of waste.In 2019, the government worked out a guideline for the creation of zero solid waste programs. These programs have been carried out in 11 cities and five districts(区域), including Shenzhen in Guangdong province and Weihai in Shandong province.50．After Jan 1, 2021, what will no l onger be all owed in China?A．Importing plastic products from abroad.B．Buying solid waste from abroad.C．Selling metals to other countries.D．Producing solid waste.51．What d o we know from Paragraphs 3 and 4?A．Many factories used to use solid waste to make products.B．About 45 million tons of waste are processed worl dwide each year.C．China has made a l ot of money by importing waste.D．It costs very littl e money to recycl e solid waste.52．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?A．How solid waste has helped China’s devel opment.B．What we can do to protect ourselves from waste.C．What risks solid waste brought to China.D．How solid waste should be dealt with.53．According to the last paragraph, which word d escribes China’s efforts to ban waste?A．wasteful B．effective(有效的) C．chall enging D．expensiveBeijing Opera, also called Peking Opera, is our national opera. It came into being (形成) after 1790 and has a history of over 200 years. Its music and singing came from Xipi and Erhuang in Anhui and Hubei. The Guangxu Emperor (帝王) and Empress Dowager Cixi were also crazy about Beijing Opera and helped d evelop the art form.There are four main rol es in Beijing Opera: Sheng, Dan, Jing, Chou. Sheng is the leading male (男性) actor. For example, a Wusheng is a soldier or fighter. A Xiaosheng is a young man.A Laosheng is an old man with beard (胡子). Dan is the female (女性) role. Jing, mostly mal e,is the face painted rol e and Chou is the comedy (喜剧) actor or cl own (小丑).Beijing Opera is full of famous stories, beautiful facial paintings, wond erful gestures and fighting. Some of the stories are from history books, but most are from famous novels. The people in the stories usually can’t agree with each other. They become angry, unhappy, sad and l onely. Sometimes they are afraid and worried. Then they find a way to make peace with (与……讲和) each other. Everyone is usually happy in the end.Beijing Opera is an important part of Chinese culture. In China it used to be popular with old people while young people didn’t like it very muc h. However, more young people arebecoming interested in it nowadays. And more people around the world are learning about Beijing Opera’s special singing, acting and facial paintings.54．Beijing Opera's singing is from _________.A．Anhui and Hubei B．Beijing and AnhuiC．the history book D．the literature55．The second paragraph of the passage is about the ________ of Beijing Opera.A．stories B．roles C．gestures D．paintings56．From the passage, we know the role Chou most probably has a(n) ________ feature.A．honest B．funny C．boring D．serious57．You can most probably read this kind of passage ________.A．in a geography textbook B．in a science and technol ogy magazineC．in a business report D．on a culture website58．Which is TRUE according to the passage?A．Peking Opera is full of different gestures.B．There are only four roles in Beijing Opera.C．Beijing Opera is the most popular in the worl d.D．The people in the story usually are in agreement.参考答案1．D2．C3．C4．D5．B6．C7．B8．A9．C10．C11．C12．A13．A14．B15．A16．B 17．D18．C19．B20．A21．D22．D23．B24．C25．A26．B27．B28．B29．C30．C31．C 32．D33．B34．C35．A 36．B 37．A 38．B 39．C40．B41．A42．B43．C44．D45．D 46．D47．D48．B49．B50．B51．A52．C53．B54．A55．B56．B57．D58．A。

By the 1970s, they had already been endangered. What was causing the number of falcons to drop so quickly?In America, a pesticide, a chemical, called DDT was harming the falcon eggs. Luckily, DDT is no longer used. The number of falcons is rising now.One unusual thing about falcons is that they like to make their nests (巢) in high places. In nature, they often nest on mountaintops and on the sides of cliffs (悬崖). Falcons have also got used to life in cities. They nest on tall buildings and bridges in cities. The height of these nests is from 50 to 200 feet in the air.They also like to return to the same nesting place every year. Both the mother and father falcons help to raise the babies. The mother stays more time in the nest. The father hunts and brings back food for her and the babies.Many people all around the country work very hard to help falcons live to adulthood.

New research now suggests that has already happened over the past years.A study coming out in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science found that in most poor countries, higher temperatures are more than 90% likely to have resulted in a fall in economic output（经济产量）, compared to a world without global（全球的）warming. The influence has been less big in richer countries—with some even benefiting（获益）from higher temperatures.“We’re not saying that global warming created inequality（不公平）,” says Noah S. Diffenbaugh, the writer of the study and a professor at Stanford University who studies climate change. But “global warming has slowed down the improvement”. The poore st countries are facing the worst influence of rising temperatures—for which they are least responsible, he adds.The new study builds on past research. A 2015 study in the journal Nature predicted that the average income（平均收入））in the poorest countries will be 25% lower by 2100 compared to aworld without warming, while some of the richest countries—like the USA—could experience an increase in income. And a report from IPCC, the UN’s climate science body, showed that if global temperatures rise more than 1.5℃ by the end of the century, poor countries will likely face very serious challenges, including the disappearance of whole communities and millions of early deaths. “They will suffer the most, as they are already,” said Mary Robinson, who used to be a UN Special Envoy on Climate Change and a president of Ireland.The influence is greater elsewhere, especially in Sub-Saharan, African countries including Sudan, Burkina Faso and Niger, where climate change has driven the average income more than 20% lower. “There are a number of ways by which temperature influences economic activities,” says Diffenbaugh What’s clear is that, for poor countries, the news is all bad.24．According to the text, warmer temperatures ________.A．are mainly caused by poor countries B．may bring advantages to rich countries C．had no influence on the world before D．can improve the poorest people’s health 25．What does “suffer” underlined in Paragraph 4 most probably mean in Chinese?A．供应B．犹豫C．遭受D．谋利26．Which of the following will face great economic problems caused by climate change? A．The UN. B．The USA．C．Ireland. D．Burkina Faso. 27．What is the main idea of the text?A．Climate change will make poor countries poorer.B．We must take action to deal with climate change.C．Climate change can cause millions of early deaths.D．People make good predictions about climate change.28．From which is the text most probably taken?A．A geography textbook. B．A health magazine.C．A research paper. D．A storybook.Passage 7Christmas was coming. There was a man in rags (衣衫褴褛) walking in a hurry on the road. You might think he was a beggar (乞讨者), but actually he was an artist. His name was Vincent Willem Van Gogh. With a painting he had just finished, the poor Vincent entered a painting store.“Can you buy this painting to help me pay the rent (房租)?” Vincent asked in a low voice. “I don’t really like your painting, but it is said that you are hard-working and I want to help you, Here is five francs (法郎),” the storekeeper answered.Although it was only five francs, Vincent was very happy. He took the money and said thanks, thinking that he could buy some food and pay the rent.Near his home, Vincent saw a little girl in old clothes standing in the snow.The girl smiled sadly at the artist asking for some help. Clearly, the girl was hungry and cold.“Poor child! I should help her,” he thought.Vincent put the five francs into the girl’s hands, completely forgetting that he still needed money to pay the rent. Before the girl said thanks to him, Vincent had hurried away with his empty stomach.29．The story happened in ________.A．spring B．summer C．autumn D．winter 30．Vincent Willem Van Gogh was a(n) ________.A．beggar B．artist C．farmer D．storekeeper 31．The storekeeper gave Vincent five francs because ________.A．he thought Vincent was a beggar B．he liked Vincent’s painting very much C．he wanted to help the hardworking man D．he wanted to make friends with Vincent 32．What did Vincent do to help the poor girl?A．He painted a picture for her.

专项突破现在进行时-备战2023年中考英语高频考点专项突破考点详解+真题（原卷版）专项15 现在进行时备战2023年中考英语精选考点专项突破一、现在进行时的定义现在进行时主要用于表示目前正在进行的动作，有时也可表示现阶段在进行的动作。

The teacher is giving us an English lesson. 老师正在给我们上英语课。

The farmers are getting in their crops. 农民们正在收割庄稼。

We are making preparations for the conference. 我们一直在为会议作准备。

二、现在进行时的构成现在进行时由＂be+现在分词（v-ing）＂构成。

be应为助动词，一定不要漏掉！它应与主语的人称和数保持一致，即：I am/he/she/it 包括单数名词和不可数名词用is，you/we/they 包括复数名词用are。

1. 现在分词变化规则如下：a. 动词后直接+- ing（例：sleep+-ing→sleeping）b. 去掉不发音的e+-ing（例：bite-e+-ing→biting）c. 重读闭音节，且末尾只有1个辅音字母，双写辅音字母+-ing（例：sitting，beginning，getting，putting，running，stopping，cutting）d. 特殊变化：die→dying，lie→lying，tie→tying2. 句式构成如下：肯定句式：主语+be（am，is，are）+现在分词+其他。

They are having an English class. 他们在上英语课。

否定句式：主语+be（am，is，are）+not +现在分词+其他。

They aren’t having an English class. 他们不在上英语课。

一般疑问句：Be（am，is，are）+主语+现在分词+其他？Are they having an English class? 他们在上英语课吗?特殊疑问句：疑问词+be（am，is，are）+主语+现在分词+其他？What are you doing now? 你现在在做什么？助动词变化口诀：变疑问，往前提，句后问号莫丢弃；变否定，更容易，be后not 莫忘记。
