2010-2023历年江苏省南京市鼓楼区中考一模英语试卷(带解析)第1卷一.参考题库(共20题)1.Food waste has become a big problem in China.Zhou Jinsong, a canteen(食堂) manager at Central South University, said that students produce over 12 barrels(桶) of leftovers every day — each barrel stands at one meter in height. Zhou’s canteen is just one of several on the campus.According to Xinhua News Agency, the food wasted by Chinese people equates to about 50 million tons of grain every year, or 10 percent of the country’s total annual grain production. This food could feed another 200 million people. What students waste every year could feed over 10 million people. Students nowadays are well protected by their families and hardly know how hard farmers work to provide them with the food they eat.“Since the 1980s, when Chinese gradually became richer, food waste has been a subject of debate. But things have hardly changed over the years,” said Yu Changjiang, a sociologist at Peking University. “It’s the Chinese way of showing respect to friends, often referred as Mianzi.”But rather than tradition, huge public spending on government banquets(宴会) is also causing food waste, said Zhou Xiaozheng from the sociology department at Renmin University of China. “It’s the result of widespread reception meals at government levels.It is also important that everyone thinks about how they can do their best to reduce food waste.”【小题1】Which of the following statements is not the reasons for food waste? A.Students hardly know farmers’ hard work on the farm.B.The government spends a large amount of money on government banquets. C.Leaving some food after a banquet is the Chinese way to show respect to guests. D.The food in the college canteen is not delicious.【小题2】Where can we probably read this passage?A.In a newspaper.B.In a traffic report.C.On a health website.D.In a story book.2.As you are soon on your way to Eastern Europe, here are a few tips on what you should pack. In general, pack lightly, with only the most basic clothes. People dress casually(随便地) in Eastern Europe, so you don’t need to bring along your smartest clothing.Batteries: If your camera, flash, or other appliances run on batteries, bring enough supply along. Certain types of batteries don’t exist in Eastern Europe, and those that do o ften don’t last very long.Cash: We have found it good to have supply of small-unit U.S. bills($1and $5) to use in hard–currency stores, to buy international train tickets, etc. The hard–currency stores never seem to have the rightchange.Electric Current Adapter(转换器): If you bring any appliances, remember that the electricity in Eastern Europe uses 220 volts A.C., not the standard 110 volts of North America. A 110 volts appliance will soon burn out when attached to an unchanged 220-volt plug.Language Tools: One of Europe’s biggest challenges is communicating with the local people since their languages are so different from our own. To help overcome difficulties, you might buy phrasebooks before you go —you won’t find them once you are in Eastern Europe.Money Belt: A money belt is especially helpful when you have many documents to carry around ( as you always do in Eastern Europe). The best one we find is made by Eagle Greek Travel Gear, 143 Cedros Ave. (P. O. box 651), Solona Beach, CA 92075 (tel. 619/755 – 9399, or toll free 800/874 – 9925) outside California.Traveler’s Checks: These are necessary. Bring your traveler’s checks in small to medium unit ($10, $20, or $50) to change a little bit at a time, so as not to be left with a lot of local money. To be on the safe side, be sure to copy down the check numbers in two places, just in case something happens to the checks.【小题1】How many tips are mentioned in the passage?A.6B.7C.8D.9【小题2】Which of the following things may be the biggest challenge in Eastern Europe?A.Appliances.B.Money.C.Language.D.Clothes.【小题3】Which of the following statements is NOT a fact according to the passage?A. No shop in Eastern Europe accepts hard currency.B. Travelers may need to carry many documents in Eastern Europe.C. The electricity in Eastern Europe uses 220 volts A.C.D. Eastern European languages can be a problem to foreign travelers.【小题4】What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?A.To tell you it’s not easy to stay in Eastern Europe.B.To give you some advice on what you should pack when you’re in Eastern Europe. C.To tell you something about the life in Eastern Europe.D.To show you the life in Eastern Europe is different from that in your country. 【小题5】What do the underlined words “change” and “check” probably mean according to the given dictionary entries(词条)?change1. [V] to become different 改变;变化2. [V] to exchange money into the money of another country 兑换3. [U] the money that you get back when you have paid for sth giving more money than the amount it costs 找给的零钱;找头check1. [V] to examine sth to see if it is correct, safe or acceptable 检查;审查2. [C] an act of making sure that sth is safe, correct or in good condition by examining it 检查;查看3. [C] a printed form that you can write on and sign as a way of paying for sth instead of using money 支票A.1; 3B.3; 3C.2; 3D.2; 23.—Hurry up, Mum. The lights are turned on. Dad has been back.—It _________ be him. He has gone to Shanghai.A.mustB.can’tC.mustn’tD.may4.CN Tower HoursDue to(由于) construction around the CN Tower, the only access for visitors who may require help with strollers(婴儿车) or wheelchairs, is Bremner Blvd.The CN Tower is open 364 days a year (closed on Christmas Day).

Some might learn faster and some might learn it slower. Some might learn it e_______________and some with difficulty. But anyone can learn it well if he or she has ther__________ways.Many students have their own special ways in learning English. The following are somee__________ .Millie gets up early every morning and the first thing she does is listen to an English radio program.

He will watch it many times i_____________ it is a good film. And he also likes to read English aloud.D(未知)Have you ever heard of the saying that “two heads are better than one”? In fact, it talks about one thing: teamwork. When two or more people work or play together to r__________a common goal, they make a team. The goal might be to win a game of football, to finish a d_________ task or to win a quiz. To achieve the goal, they must have good teamwork.Teamwork is an excellent w_____________forstudents to share what they know. While one student may not know all that is needed, two or more together might. When p________a basketball game, for example, some of the team may be better runners, others make great attack players, others are strong and make great defenders(防守) and others are g_________ at shooting a basket. They bring their skills together and achieve things as a team that they couldn‟t do a_________.There are two things that make a team successful. One is how well the team as a_______whole achieves its goal. The other is how well each m of the team plays for the group. For example, think of a football team. The team wins the game but only a few players kept the ball to t ______, so that some people had nothing to do. That‟s not a successful team. On the other hand, everyone in the team might get the chance to keep the ball, b_____ they might not work well together. That‟s not a successful team, e_________. If the team wants to do well, each player must work hard and work together to win the game.Now, think of a game you have played.Have you made good teamwork?E(未知)Children are amazing! They pick up languages so naturally and easily. Have you ever wondered why? It‟s not because they have great natural language abilities. In fact, studies s______that an adult‟s potential(潜能) to learn language is just as good as a child‟s .So why do children still s_________ to acquire(学到) language more quickly than the rest of us?It‟s because of the way they learn.

However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper - a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always fall to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.55. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?A. It's small in size.B. It's hard to recognize.C. It's covered with wax.D. It's hidden in trees.56. What do the words "the follower" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A bee.B. A honey seeker.C. A bird.D. A beekeeper.57. The honey guide is special in the way .A. it goes to churchB. it gets its foodC. it sings in the forestD. it reaches into bees' nests58. What can be the best title for the text?A. Wild BeesB. Wax and HoneyC. Beekeeping in AfricaD. Honey-Lover's HelperCAbout twenty of us had been fortunate enough to receive invitations to a film-studio(影棚)to take part in a crowd-scene. Although our "act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path. Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in "snow". Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong wind" blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.The next scene was a complete contrast(对比).The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen. An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our live s we would be experiencing the excitement of being film”Stars”!59. Who is the author?A. A cameraman.B. A film director.C. A workman for scene settingD. A crowd-scene actor60. What made the author feel cold?A. The heavy snowfall.B. The film being shown.C. The low temperature.D. The man-made scene.61. What would happen in the "three minutes" mentioned, in the last paragraph?A. A new scene would be filmed.B. More stars would act in the film.C. The author would leave the studio.D. The next scene would be prepared.DGrown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since. A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away. He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son. A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears.One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: Once we have learned something, additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it.In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming, bicycle riding, and playing baseball long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks. We not only learn but overlearn.The multiplication tables(乘法口诀表)are an exception to the general rule. that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school, because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood.The law of overlearning explains why cramming(突击学习)for an examination, though it may result in a passing grade, is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning, on the other hand, is really necessary for one's future development.62.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 1?A. Children have a better memory than grown-ups.B. People remember well what they learned in childhood.C. Poem reading is a good way to learn words.“D. Stories for children are easy to remember.63. The author explains the law of overlearning byA. presenting research findingsB. setting down general rulesC. using examplesD. making a comparison64. According to the author, being able to use multiplication tables isA. a result of overlearningB. a special case of crammingC. a skill to deal with math problemsD. a basic step towards advanced studies65. What is the author's opinion on cramming?A. It leads to failure in college exams.B. It's possible to result in poor memory.C. It's helpful only in a limited way.D. It increases students' learning interest.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中最佳选项。

Do you want to live a happier, less stressful life? Try laughing for no reason 16 . 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 17 ways to stay healthy.The first Laughter Club was started in Mumbai, India, in 1995 by Dr Madan Kataria. “ 18 laugh about 300 times a day.

Laughter improves our health 21 illness by about 40%.So what happens at a Laughter Club? I went along to my nearest club in south London to 22 . I was quite nervous at the beginning of the class, to be honest — I had no interest in laughing with a group of strangers, and I was worried about looking stupid(愚蠢的). Our laughter teacher told us to clap our hands and say “ho ho ho, ha ha ha,” while looking at each other. 23 our bodies can’t tell the differences between fake(假的)laughter and real laughter, they still produce thesame healthy effects.Surprisingly, it 24 ! 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 shocked by 25 relaxed and comfortable I felt.

Rose oil is called liquid(液体) gold and used in making soaps, chocolates, and even some kinds of liqueur(甜酒).The first records about growing roses on Bulgarian land go back many centuries. The area called the Rose Valley is between the cities of Kazanlak and Karlovo in central Bulgaria.The roses seem to love the soil and climate there. The rose is the most importantplant grown in Bulgaria which could be called the country of the roses. The rose plantations in the Rose Valley are the largest in the world.Much of the population in the Rose Valley works in some ways in the rose industry. In Bulgaria, they produce rose oil, rose water and other products. The main flower grown is the Kazanlak rose, famous around the world.The oil is prepared by a process of distillation(蒸馏). Each flower is picked by hand, and you need 3,000 kilos to make one kilo of rose oil. That means about 30 flowers for just one tiny(很小的) drop of oil. So you can understand why it’s so expensive.Each year on the first weekend in June, there’s a Festival of Roses in Kazanlak with many programs. The Queen of Roses is chosen as part of the summer festival. After her coronation(加冕典礼), she honors the most skillful pickers of roses in the harvest.The festival is an old tradition and goes back more than a century. Today it also includes an International Folklore Festival and attracts many tourists. The festival ends through the Kazanlak streets at noon and a concert in the evening.36.

But we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. Because man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than heis today. Now, on the average(平均), man is about 3 inches taller. 500 years is a relatively(相对地) short period of time, so we may suppose that man will continue to grow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brains a lot. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity(容量). As time goes on, however, we will have to use our brains more and more and finally we will need larger ones! It is likely to bring about a physical change,too. The head, especially the forehead(前额), will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are being used too much. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over a very long period of time, it is possible that man’s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive(敏感的) because they are used a lot in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether as time goes on because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both men and women are probably to be hairless!Perhaps all this gives the idea that future man will not be a very attractive person to look at! This may be true. All the same, besides these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and feelings similar to our own.41. How many aspects(方面) are talked about in the passage that future man is probably going to be different from us today?A. Three.B. Four.C. Five.D. Six.42. What does the word “brain” mean in Chinese?A. 头B. 大脑C. 身体D. 下巴43. How much brain’s capacity of a person hasn’t been used now?A. About 20%.B. About 80%.C. About 3%.D. About 500%.44. Why are our arms and legs likely to grow weaker?A. Because we make less use of them.B. Because they are used a lot.C. Because they don’t serve a useful purpose any longer.D. Because we don’t need them any more.45. Which of the following statements is True about man in the future?A. He will have smaller eyes and will wear better glasses.B. His fingers will grow stronger because he often uses them in modern life.C. He will be hairless because hair is no longer useful.D.
