2016年南京市江宁区英语一模试卷及答案

江苏南京江宁区九年级第一次模拟考试英语卷（解析版）（初三）中考模拟姓名:_____________ 年级:____________ 学号:______________题型选择题填空题简答题xx题xx题xx题总分得分一、xx题（每空xx 分，共xx分）【题文】 In the picture, the lamp is hanging the table.A. onB. underC. overD. beside【答案】C【解析】试题分析：句意：在图片中，灯悬挂在桌子上方。

on表示在一物体上，强调两物相接触，over也表示在一物体上，但强调覆盖这一物体。

over表示“越过”某一高度，具有动态之意，on仅表示“处于……之上”，是静态。

如果要表示“覆盖”或“越过”，则用over。

指数量时，我们一般用 over(＝more than)表示“超过”，但如果指上下垂直的度量以及海拔高度时，要用above。

over表示在某人或某物的正上方，反义词是under。

above表示位置高于某人或某物。

但不一定是正上方，反义词是below. under 在……下；beside在……旁边。

所以选C。

考点：考查介词。

【题文】. If our parents do everything for us children, we won’t learn to depend on .A. ourselvesB. usC. themselvesD. them【答案】A【解析】试题分析：句意：如果我们的父母为我们孩子做一切，我们将不会学会依靠我们自己。

Ourselves我们自己；us我们；themselves他们自己；them他们。

结合语境，所以选A。

考点：考查反身代词。

【题文】 There still some apple juice in the fridge. It’s not necessary for us to go to the supermarket now.A. wasB. wereC. isD. are【答案】C【解析】试题分析：句意：冰箱里还有一些苹果汁。

Her eyes weren't straight.Her glasses were very thick. And she had really ugly teeth.Every day 2 we drove to and from school, kids would shout insults （侮辱） at Amy. "God, what a 3 face!

After all, I didn't want them to treat me the same way they treated Amy.But while I was insulting her, I felt 4 for the girl. I could see that the insults were making her look uglier, because she was so ashamed（羞愧） and alone. Then I wanted to 5 her. I just didn't know how to stop my schoolmates until the night of our class roller-skating party.Our whole class was there, including Amy. Amy didn't know how to skate, but I could see how much she wanted to 6 like the rest of us. So I skated over to her and took her by the hand. We began the journey together around the skating rink （溜冰场）. She just smiled, and sometimes she would laugh in 7 .On the school bus the next morning there was much news about Amy and me skating together, 8 nobody insulted her or me.

Nina saw Luz, James and others from her class. The bright, sunny room left her no place to hide. A few teachers sat on chairs. They waited for the children to become quiet."Hi, Nina!" Luz called out.

The high reward attracted so many people, but in the nature, besides golden, the marigold is brown, and it is not easy to get the white one. So after they were excited for atime, many people had forgotten the announcement.One day after 20 years, the college received a letter and 100 seeds（种子）of pure white marigold. It turned out to be an old woman of over 70 years old.Some scientists in the college doubted it, but it was surprising that those seedsfinally took root（根） in the earth. The miracle（奇迹）appeared after one year,the field was covered by pure white marigold.So the old woman who was always unknown to the public became a new focus.The old woman was a flower-lover. When she read the announcement 20 years ago, she got very excited like others. But her eight children were against her decision. After all, a woman who never knew the seed genetics （遗传学） couldn't complete the job that scientists could never do, so her thought was only a daydream.Still, the old woman didn't change her mind and went on working. She planted some of the most common seeds and took good care of them. A year later, when the marigold came out, she chose the faintest （最暗淡的） one from those golden and brown flowers and got the best seed. The next year, she again grew them and chose... Day after day, year after year, through many seasons, the old woman's husband died, her children flew far, a lot of things happened in her life, but only the wish to grow the pure white marigold took root in her heart.Finally, after 20 years on the day we all know, in the garden she saw a marigold, which was not nearly white,but as white as silver or snow.A problem even scientists couldn't deal with was solved by an old woman who didn't understand genetics.Was it magic?To take root in the heart, even the most common seed, can grow into a miracle!单词翻译单词适当形式填空A.B.C.D.（2）The underlined word "focus" closest in meaning to is "center of " .A.B.C.D.（3）It can be learned from the passage that .A.B.C.D.（4）The woman successfully grew the white marigold at last because she .A.B.C.D.（5）The passage mainly talks about .A.B.C.D.whitepurplebrowngoldenenergyactivityattentioninventionthe children didn't agree on their mother’s decisionthe woman needed the great reward for her big familythe scientists also succeeded in growing the white marigoldthe woman took good care of the flowers instead of her familywas luckier than scientistsput her heart into flowersgot support from her familystudied the seed genetics wellthe difficulties of getting the white marigoldthe possibility of going beyond scientiststhe unforgettable development of marigoldthe importance of holding on to dreams21.（1）Simon felt proud when he raised the national （旗帜） in the playground this Monday.（2）He doesn't like crowded places because the air there isn't （新鲜的）at all.（3）---Do you know how much a common Chinese family （花费） for education every year?---Sorry, I'm not sure about that.（4）When we meet our teachers and classmates, it's necessary for us to greet them （有礼貌地)）（5）Bicycling is fun and good for health.

2016年江苏省南京市联合体中考英语一模试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________I、单选题(本大题共15小题，共15.0分)1.No one can make great achievements hard work．（）A.amongB.betweenC.alongD.without【答案】D【解析】答案：D．结合前面一句的"No one can make great achievements"和后面的"hard work"可以推断这句话表达的意思是"没有付出，任何人都不会取得伟大的成就．"，所以设空处应选择一个否定意义的方式介词，结合选项without 意为"没有"，表否定，符合句意，故选D没有付出，任何人都不会取得伟大的成就．英语介词的一个特点是一词多义，并且介词间语义交叉现象很多，习惯用法也很多，有时很难从词义上区分开来．故学习中要注意不断总结，熟记一些介词和动词的固定搭配用法及习惯用法，是完成此类问题的捷径．2.-I've just bought some cakes in the supermarket．Would you like to have ？-No，thanks．I'm full now．（）A.noB.someC.anyD.none【答案】B【解析】答案：BWould you like …句型是用来礼貌地询问对方的意愿，是否"想要…"或委婉地提出请求、建议或者陈述个人的想法，表示你想要"一些"东西吗？是希望得到对方肯定的回答应该用some．故选B．-我在超市只买了些蛋糕，你想吃一些吗？-不用，谢谢，我饱了．本题考查的是代词的辨析，理解句意并熟练掌握各个连词的意思是解答本题的关键．本题主要考查的是Would you like …句型．3.-Millie does well in her lessons．But she never shows off．-I can't agree more．She is quite ．（）A.modestB.modernC.gentleD.polite【答案】A【解析】答案：A．首先明确选项中每个单词的意思，A：谦虚的；B：现代化的；C：温和的；D：有礼貌的；根据上句的意思"Millie功课学得很好，但是她从不炫耀．"推测下句的句意是"我完全赞同，她非常谦虚．"，由此判断句子中缺少"谦虚的"一词，故答案为A．--Millie功课学得很好，但是她从不炫耀．--我完全赞同，她非常谦虚．了解每个选项的含义是做好此类题型的关键，还要从句意着手，根据句意作出解答；所以，平时的学习中要多进行积累词汇，才能很好的完成．4.-It is about two months since the earthquake happened in Taiwan．-Exactly，lots of people their lives．We can't forget it．（）A.lostB.loseC.will loseD.were losing【答案】A【解析】答案：A．根据上句的句意"自从台湾发生地震以来，已经过了大约两个月了．"结合答语句意"确实如此，很多人在地震中丧生，我们不会忘记．"，判断设空处所在的句子用一般过去时．一般过去时的构成是：主语+动词的过去式；故答案为A．--自从台湾发生地震以来，已经过了大约两个月了．--确实如此，很多人在地震中丧生，我们不会忘记．本题考查了动词的时态．做题时，一定要特别关注有关的时间短语，这是判断句子时态的标志．在没有时间状语的情况下可以联系上下文根据状语从句的类型来做出正确判断．5.Amy

18．DiCaprio's career took off when he played the romantic lead in Titanic（1997）．However，the film also gave him the name"pretty boy"．People pay more attention to his face than his acting．DiCaprio has been known as one of the pickiest actors in Hollywood．Instead of winning hearts in romantic films，he chose to work with more challenging productions．For the role of Hugh Glass，an 1820s fur trapper in The Revenant，DiCaprio wore 47different prosthetics（特效假体），slept in dead animals，and ate a bison liver．For over half the film，he crawled（爬）on the ground．An article in Life Week wrote，"Compared with

would someone decide to stop eating？We know that the body needs food in order to work well．However，many people fast at some time during their lives．Why is this？Some people fast for political reasons．In the early 20th century，women in England and the United States weren't allowed to vote．So many women went on fast．They hoped that fasting would bring attention to it．Mohandas Gandhi，the famous Indian leader，fasted 17times during his life．For Gandhi，fasting was a powerful political tool．In 1943，he fasted to bring attention to his country's need for independence．For 21days，he went without food．Another famous faster was Cesar Chavez．In the 1960s，he fasted for three weeks．Why？His goal was to bring attention to the terrible working conditions of farm workers in the United States．Fasting is also a practice in many religions（宗教）．Every year during the month of Ramadan，which is a religious holiday，Muslims（穆斯林）fast from sunrise to sunset．Many Indians fast at special time，and there was also a fasting holiday in ancient China．Of course，not everyone fasts for political or religious reasons．People sometimes fast just because it makes them feel better．The American writer Mark Twain thought fasting was the best medicine for common illnesses．Whenever he had a cold or a fever，he stopped eating completely．He said that this always made his cold or fever go away．Another American writer，Upton Sinclair，discovered fasting after years of eating too much and headaches．His first fast lasted for 12days．During this time，his headaches and stomachaches went away．Sinclair said that fasting also made him more alert and energetic．Choosing to go without food can be very dangerous．However，that doesn't stop people from fasting for political，religious，or health reasons．36.The underlined word"fast"in Paragraph 1most probably means" ______ "．A.quicklyB.go on a dietC.refuse to eatD.lose weight。
