2020初中英语中考模拟题How are you getting on with your study? Maybe you are the best in your class. In the last few exams one or two even several classmates have got higher marks than you. How do you feel? Are you jealous of them? Are you grateful to them? Please think it over after reading the following text. You will probably learn a lot.Once a zoologist worked on antelopes (羚羊) which were living on both sides of a river in the Republic of South Africa. He discovered that the antelopes on the east side multiplied (繁殖) more quickly and ran faster than those on the west.The zoologist was puzzled after long thought about the difference. As two groups of antelopes lived in the same environment and they fed on the same kind of grass.One year, with the help of the Animal Protecting Society, he caught ten antelopes on each side and exchanged them. A year later, the ten antelopes sent to the west bank multiplied by fourteen while only three of the ones sent to the east remained. Where are the other seven? They had been eaten by wolves!At last the zoologist understood why the antelopes on the east were stronger. That was because on the east side there were living a group of wolves ---their natural enemy!Now everything is plain sailing in your life. It's your opponents (对手) that you are improving indeed, so thanks must go to your opponents. It's a true!1．The zoologist was puzzled when he found________.A．the antelopes on the west side multiplied more than those on the east.B．the antelopes on the east side ran faster than those on the west.C．the two groups of antelopes lived in the same environment.D．the two groups of antelopes fed on the same kind of grass.2．What does the underlined word “jealous” mean in the passage?A．害怕的B．生气的C．嫉妒的D．憎恨的3．What is the passage mainly about?A．Antelopes should be raised on the same side of the river.B．Antelopes should be raised with wolves.C．We should learn from the zoologist.D．We should be grateful to our opponents.A city without cars would be very strange, right? But Venice is such a city.Venice is in the northeast of Italy. It wasn't built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands.Seawater is everywhere around the city.Even so, travel isn't difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go.People in Venice move from place to place by boat.Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences. One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there’s nothing special. But when they come back to the bridge an hour later, it’s underwater and everyone is wearing rain shoes.Once, people used too much underground water. This made the city get lower little by little. Now the city has gone down by 23 centimeters. Another problem is the rising seawater. The temperature has risen over the years. This has made the ice of the Arctic Ocean melt. Every year, high waters hit the city in autumn and winter. When a lot of water comes, more than halfof the city is underwater.Scientists are trying different ways to stop the city from getting even lower. The Italian government has asked some of Italy’s biggest companies to buil d the MOST project, which was planned to be build under the seawater to stop the rising water. Anyway, this project is helping solve the problem.4．Which is the best way to travel in Venice?A．400 bridges.B．Taxis and cars.C．The waterways.D．Boats and rain shoes.5．What doesn’t cause Venice to get lower and lower?A．The ice of the Arctic Ocean melt.B．Seawater is everywhere around the city.C．People used too much underground water.D．The temperature has become higher over the years.6．What can we infer from the last passage?A．Venice is sure to stop getting lower.B．High waters won’t hit Venice any more.C．Scientists can solve the problems easilyD．Some possible ways help to solve the problem.7．What’s the best title of this passage?A．The Specials and Problems of VeniceB．The History of Venice.C．The Places of Interest of VeniceD．The MOST Project of Venice.In Britain.Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th, which is the following day after Christmas Day.However, strictly speaking.Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas.Like Christmas Day.Boxing Day sing a public holiday.This means it’s a non﹣working day in the whole of Britain.When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.The exact origin（起源）of the holiday is unclear.One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest（神父）on each ship.Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box.It was sealed up and kept on board until the ship came home safely.Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a Mass of thanks for the success of the sailing.The priest wouldn’t open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.One more thought is about the “Alms Box” placed in every church on ChristmasDay.Worshippers （做礼拜的人）put gifts for the poor into it.These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating their time, services and money to aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need.Besides, spending time with family and shoppingare popular Boxing Day activities now.8．If Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day will be celebrated on________. A．December 24th B．December 25thC．December 26th D．December 27th9．Sailors dropped money into the Christmas Box in order to________.A．pray for sailing safely B．pay for the priestC．discover new land D．save the poor10．The following activities can show the traditional spirit of Boxing Day EXCEPT________. A．offering gifts to the poor B．spending time with familyC．supporting families in need D．giving money to aid Food Banks11．The purpose of the passage is________.A．to praise the kindness of priests B．to call on people to help the poorC．to introduce the origins of Boxing Day D．to compare Boxing Day with Christmas Day.People use their mouths for many things. They eat, talk, shout and sing. They smile and they kiss. In the English language, there are many expressions about the word “mouth”. But some of them are not so nice.For example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest and say “Do not bad mouth me.”Sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that people’s feelings. Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to. The speaker might say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time”. If this should happen, the speaker might feel down in the mouth, In other words, he might feel afraid for saying the wrong thing.Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend was going to say. When this happens, the frien d might say: “You took the words right out of my mouth!” Sometimes a person has a bad or unpleasant experience with another person. He might say that experience “left a bad taste in my mouth”. Or the person has possibly had a very scary experience, like be ing chased by an angry dog. 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. There is an expression for this, too. You might say such a person “was born with a silver spoon in his mouth”. This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives from “hand to mouth”. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food. 12．When a man says “I had my heart in my mouth”, usually he means he is ________. A．scared B．excited C．surprised D．satisfied13．Your best friend Tony said what you were going to say, you might say:“________”A．You were born with a silver spoon in your mouthB．You took the words right out of my mouthC．You really left a bad taste in my mouthD．You really put my foot in my mouth.14．A person who lives from “hand to mouth” is very________.A．happy B．healthy C．rich D．poor15．According to the passage, ________ are not so nice.A．some bad people’s mouths B．some people using the word “mouth”C．some expressions about mouth D．some things people use their mouths to do第II卷（非选择题)请点击修改第II卷的文字说明二、根据首字母填空16．—How about the soup?—It’s d________.

He died at the age of 111.Mr. Zhou, who was born in 1906 during the Qing Dynasty, studied in C hina’s first Western -styleuniversity, St. John’s in Shanghai, where he studied economics andlinguistics. As a young man, Mr. Zhou spent time in the US and worked as aWall Street banker and had several chats with Albert Einstein, according toNew York Times . He returned to China in 1949 and was given a task to createa new writing system using the Roman alphabet to help increase literacy.Mr. Zhou spent three years developing the Pinyin system in the 1950s. Itchanged the way the language was taught and helped raise literacy rates(识字率). “We spent three years developing Pinyin. People made fun of us, joking that it had taken us a long time to deal with just 26 letters,” he told the BBC in 2012. He is the man who helped simplify Chinese.Before Pinyin was developed, 85% of Chinese people could not read, now almost all can. It is also widely used to type Chinese characters on computers and smart phones. Now mobile phones and computers regularly use it for Chinese text input. “In the e ra(时代) of mobile phones and globalization, we use Pinyin to communicate with the world.

That’s how thousands of people start their day at Laughter Clubs around the world－and many doctors now think that having a good laugh might be one of the best ways to stay healthy.The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr. Madan Kataria. “Young children laugh about 300 times a day. Adults laugh between 7 and 15 times a day,” says Dr. Kataria. “Everyone’s naturally good at laughing－it’s the universal language. We want people to feel happy with their lives.” There are now more than 500 Laughter Clubs in India and over 1,300 worldwide.Many doctors are also interested in the effects of laughter on our health. According to a 5-year study at the UCLA School of Medicine in California, with laughing there is less stress in the body. Laughter improves our health against illness by about 40%.So, what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in South London to find out. I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest－I wasn’t interested in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid. Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha,” while looking at each other. However, our bodies can’t tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter, so they still produce the same healthy effects.Surprisingly, it works! After ten minutes everybody in the room was laughing for real－and some people just couldn’t stop! At the end of the class I was surprised by how relaxed and comfortable I felt. So if you’re under stress, then start laughing. You might be very pleased with the results!38. In which country was the first Laughter Club started?A. Britain.B. America.C. Australia.D. India.39. How did the writer feel at the beginning of the class?A. Surprised.B. Pleased.C. Nervous.D. Stressful.40. When did the people in the club begin to laugh for real?A. After a few minutes.B. After a few hours.C. After a few seconds.D. After a few days.41. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Fake laughter and real laughter are both good for health.B. 40% of the people in Laughter Clubs are good friends.C. Adults laugh more often than children in a day.D. Laughing is the best way to prevent illness.DEnglish 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 second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter(灰质). This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles(肌肉).The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density(密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited beforemastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.“Our findings su ggest that the structure of the brain is changed by theexperience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Jones of the University of Wales, has researched 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 second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. 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.42. Who can study a second language easier?A. The adults.B. The women .C. The old.D. The children.43. What will change more when a person studies a second language?A. Mental system.B. Muscles.C. Grey matter density.D. The appearance.44. What does the writer want to tell us in the last two paragraphs?A. Italian is the best choice for you as a second language.B. Learning a second language is the same as studying maths.C. Y ou’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language.D. Early learning of a second language helps you a lot in studying other subjects.45. What’s the main subject talked about in this passage?A. Language can help brain power.B. Language learning and maths study.C. Science on learning a second language.D. M an’s ability of learning a second language.第二部分非选择题（共60分）四、词汇运用A. 根据句意和汉语提示写出单词，完成句子。

There are so many summer camps and not all of them are the same. To choose which camp is best for you, first you must do a bit of research.Maybe you've never thought about it before, but every great summer camp has the same main goals—opportunity, challenge and growth.Opportunity means you are given a chance to do something special. It alsomakes you special because other kids don't have the same opportunity. For example, if you are interested in writing, then you can choose to join a journalism(新闻) camp. You may have the opportunity of meeting famous journalists there.Challenge means you are given a task. You must finish the task and succeed in dealing with the challenge. Then you will have a sense of achievement. For example, you could take a lifeguard course at some summer camps. If you pass the exam, then you will receive a certificate(证书) to become a real lifeguard.This also leads to the third and most important goal of every great summer camp—personal growth. It doesn't mean growing taller and stronger or more beautiful. It means seeing yourself improve, learning something new and doing something you didn't know or believe you could do before. It also means becoming more confident in yourself.So in the future when choosing your next summer camp, remember to ask yourself: Is it a special opportunity? Is it a challenge? Will I grow?But what about friendship, fun and joy? These will all happen naturally when you have the right goals at summer camps!1．According to the passage, a camper feels successful when he . A．joins the best campB．finishes a hard taskC．grows taller and strongerD．takes a special chance2．The most important thing for a camper is to .A．take opportunitiesB．grow more beautifulC．become better and more confidentD．learn new life-saving skills3．What does the last paragraph tell us?A．It's not important to have fun at a camp.B．It's hard to make real friends at a camp.C．You can get more joy with more goals at a camp.D．With the right goals, you can have fun while learning at a camp. 4．Which is the best title for the passage?A．What makes a camp great?B．Which is the best goal?C．How to be a successful camper?D．How to do research work?参考答案一、1～5 BBBBC6～10 BDBAA二、A)1～5 CBDCA6～10 ADBCD11～15 ACBABB)1.happened 2.slowly 3.my 4.In 5.to eat 6．days7.soon8.But9.painful10.take三、BCDC。

He discovered that the antelopes on the east side multiplied （繁殖）more quickly and ran faster than those on the west.The zoologist was puzzled after long thought about the difference. As two groups of antelopes lived in the same environment and they fed on the same kind of grass.One year, with the help of the Animal Protecting Society, he caught ten antelopes on each side and exchanged them. A year later, the ten antelopes sent to the west bank multiplied by fourteen while only three of the ones sent to the east remained. Where are the other seven? They had been eaten by wolves!At last the zoologist understood why the antelopes on the east were stronger. That was because on the east side there were living a group of wolves ---their natural enemy!Now everything is plain sailing in your life. It's your opponents （对手）that you are improving indeed, so thanks must go to your opponents.

It wasn't built on land, like Beijing or Shanghai, but on more than 110 islands.Seawater is everywhere around the city.Even so, travel isn't difficult. The waterways have always been the best way to get around. There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can guide you where you want to go.People in Venice move from place to place by boat.Water makes the city special, but it is also a big problem. Sometimes tourists will have such strange experiences. One moment they walk across the Rialto Bridge, and there5s nothing special.

When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.The exact origin （起源）of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas Box was placed by a priest （1申父）on each ship.Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box.lt was sealed up and kept on board until the ship came home safely.Then the box was handed over to the priest in the exchange for the saying of a Mass of thanks for the success of the sailing.The priest wouldn't open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.One more thought is about the "Alms Box,, placed in every church on ChristmasDay.Worshippers （做礼拜的人）put gifts for the poor into it.These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating their time, services and money to aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need.Besides, spending time with family and shopping are popular Boxing Day activities now.8.If Christmas Day is on a Saturday, Boxing Day will be celebrated on.A.

When this happens, the friend might say: "You took the words right out of my mouth!" Sometimes a person has a bad or unpleasant experience with another person. He might say that experience "left a bad taste in my mouth". Or the person has possibly had a very scary experience, like being chased by an angry dog. 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. There is an expression fbr this, too.

Because of greenhouse gas emissions(排放)，sea level will rise between 9cm and 88cm by 2100. If the scientists are correct, most of Maldives will be covered by water in years.The Maldivian government has realized the terrible results from global warming to the country and is trying to ask for help from the world.

Some places had never been filled in.The young man laughed, “My dear old man, ▲Comparing your heart with mine, mine is perfect and yours is full of scars.”The old man said,”Dear boy, my heart is just as beautiful as your heart. You see, each scar shows where I have given my love. Sometimes people give me a piece of their heart back, and it fills the space as best it can. Other times, I give my love and get nothing in return. Those are the empty spaces. They hurt, but they show me that I can love and love again. ”The young man stood still. His eyes were filled with tears. He walked up to the old man, tore a piece of his heart and gave the piece to the old man.The old man placed it in his heart, and then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man’s heart.The young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever.38.

Do you use ten different words to do it? Can you do it in English or do you have to use your first language? Do you count on your fingers? Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true.People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people begin counting with their first finger which they extend or stick out. They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people countby using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers and others have no words for numbers. A group of scientists studied aboriginal（土著的）people in Australia. These people don't have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don't even have words for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.In a similar study, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piraha tribe（部落）in northwestern Brazil don't have words for numbers, such as “one” or “three”. They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees”, but can say “some trees”, “more trees” or “many trees”. Professor Edward Gibson said that most people believe that everyone knows how to count, “But here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but it's not useful in their culture, so they've never picked it up. ”Although all humans are able to understand quantities（数量）, not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting. Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math, too.()56.
