Of these,Spanish and Italian are the easiest for English speakers to learn.They are followed by Portuguese and finally French.Latin languages share many words with English.However,those shared words look or sound similar,but have different meanings over time.Greek(1,100hours)Modern Greek is maybe the easiest language to learn that uses a different alphabet(字母表).It is also a language that has contributed many words to English.Indeed,the president of Greece once gave two speeches at an international meeting that included just Greek loan words(外来词)as well as the unavoidable basic English.Japanese(2,200hours)Counting objects in Japanese depends on whether they are long and thin(like“roads”),small and round(like “apples”),thin and flat(like“sheets of paper”),and hundreds more examples.What Japanese you speak also depends on your gender(性别).There’s a“rough”language for men and a more “ladylike”language for women,but you must understand both.Chinese(2,200hours)Each Chinese written word is hardly understandable when spoken between a Mandarin(普通话)speaker in Beijing and a Cantonese speaker in Guangdong.If you think that's strange,consider our number system:the symbol“2”is widely understood but it’s pronounced“two”in English and“duex”in French.23.For an English speaker,which of the following is the easiest to learn?A.Japanese.B.French.C.Greek.D.Italian.24.What can we learn from the passage?A.The same word in two languages always has the same meaning.B.The English language and the Greek language use the same alphabet.C.Objects are counted differently in Japanese according to their shapes.D.A Mandarin speaker and a Cantonese speaker write Chinese differently.25.The purpose of this passage is to tell English speakers__________.A.how to learn some foreign languagesB.why they must learn a foreign languageC.some information on the difficulty of foreign languagesD.not to choose an Asian language to learn as it is too hardInfluenza,or flu(流感),is a type of virus.It spreads from one person to another quickly.When someone who has the flu coughs or sneezes,little droplets from their lungs(肺)spread out into the air.Anyone nearby can get sick.Even a person who touches something with the virus and then touches his or her mouth,eyes,or nose,can become infected(感染).The outbreak of the1918influenza infected about500million people worldwide.It killed from20million to 50million people.It was first seen in Europe,the United States,and parts of Asia.It then spread quickly around the world.Many people who became sick were young,healthy adults.At the time,no treatments worked in the prevention of the spread of the killer flu.People were ordered to wear masks.Schools,theaters and other public places were closed.When the first wave(波〉in the spring of1918hit,it didn't seem serious.People who were infected felt the usual flu symptoms(症状),which are chills,fevers,and feeling tired.Those who got sick generally got better after several days.Not many died.However,a second,highly contagious(传染的)wave of influenza appeared in the fall of that same year.Victims died shortly after they were infected—within hours or days.Their skin turned blue and their lungs were filled with liquid(液体),making it very difficult to breathe.By the summer of1919,the flu pandemic(大流行病)came to an end.Sick people had either got well or died. Almost90years later,in2008,researchers announced they’d discovered why the1918flu was so deadly.The flu virus inflamed(使…恶化)the lungs,causing them to fill with liquid.Since1918,there have been several other influenza pandemics,although none has been quite as deadly.26.What information about the1918flu is mentioned in the passage?A.The reason why it was so deadly.B.The reason why it ended.C.The change it caused to medical research.D.The place in which it was last seen.27.All the people that were infected with the1918flu___________.A.had blue skin that led to their deathB.had touched someone with the virusC.died as their lungs were filled with liquidD.had the virus in their bodies that made them sick28.Which of the following statements about the1918flu is TRUE according to the passage?A.Wearing a mask was the best way to treat it.B.A younger person had a lower risk of being infected with it.C.People expected the coming of its second wave,but couldn’t stop it.D.It was deadlier than any other influenza pandemic in modern history.“What’s wrong,Carina?”Collin asked.“Homesick again?”His sister nodded.“Yeah,me too.”Collin sighed(叹息).Their family had moved to the new place nearly four months ago.The new place was housed inside a huge transparent dome(透明的圆屋顶).It still didn't feel like home.“I miss my friends,”Carina said sadly.“And green grass and swimming,and everything.I even miss the sound of rain on the roof(屋顶).”“Worst of all,”Carina continued,“my birthday is in two days,and I don't think Mom and Dad are planning anything special.They're too busy.”“She's probably right,”thought Collin.Life here was very busy for scientists like their parents.He doubted if they had time to plan a party.And how could they anyway?Things such as balloons and birthday candles didn’t exist here.They didn't even have enough materials to make a cake.“Don’t worry.”Collin put an arm around Carina's shoulder.Collin walked toward the agricultural center,where his mom worked.He found her taking notes on some tall tube-like plants.“What are those?”he asked.“Bamboo plants,”said Mom.“They’re strong and grow fast.They make good building materials.”“May I have a piece?”“Sure.”Mom handed one to him and made a note on her notebook.The next day,Collin made tiny holes into the piece of bamboo and put small nails(钉子)into each hole.He poured a handful of pebbles(鹅卵石)inside and covered the open ends.Collin held the bamboo piece carefully as he hurried home.He hid it behind his back and opened the front door.To his surprise,Mom and Dad were home early from work.Mom was carrying something that looked like a cake.He looked closer and realized Mom had made a cake with dried apples and cinnamon(肉桂皮)sugar.A real treat,on the Moon.Collin handed his sister the bamboo rod.“Happy birthday!”“What is it?”Carina asked,looking at it curiously.“A rain stick,”said Collin.“Whenever you turn it over,the pebbles fall around the nails and it sounds like rain.”Carina turned the stick,and the room was filled with a sound like rain drumming on a roof.“It’s Moon Rain!”she said.“It makes me feel like I’m home.”She smiled at Collin and turned the rain stick over again.29.What may be the best title of this passage?A.Bamboo PlantsB.Moon RainC.Homesick Again!D.United Family30.What can we know from the passage?A.This passage is part of a science fiction written for scientific research.B.The family moved to the new place in order to do some sightseeing.C.Their new home was on a dry land on the earth far from their old one.D.Carina didn’t think her parents would plan anything special for her birthday.31.Which of the following can best describe Collin?A.Careful and brave.B.Caring and creative.C.Generous and intellectual.D.Romantic and popular.Looking at art should be like walking in the countryside.You may not know exactly where you are,what bird is making that strange sound,or what the hill ahead of you is called,but that’s part of the fun of it.You don’t need to know these things to feel the beauty of nature.Of course,if you do know your birds,trees and local history,a walk can be more attractive.Yet such knowledge comes slowly.It is picked up through experience.A true knowledge of nature cannot just be given to you through an app on your phone.Imagine pointing your phone at the hill and getting plenty of information on screen.Would that enrich your dreamy walk or ruin(毁灭)it?Braggarts enjoy an app that allows them to show off their knowledge,for example,about baroque(巴洛克风格的)paintings.In fact,apps in museums try to provide on-screen art history at once just to encourage people to read their phones instead of looking at paintings.It is a mistaken idea that you need to be spoon-fed(灌输)amazing facts about a work of art in order to appreciate(欣赏)it.Our first experience of a work of art should be raw(自然状态的),unguided,and a bit puzzling, like following a path in the ter,you might choose to do some personal research into the work.It can further increase your enjoyment and appreciation for it.Yet it is best done when you’re away from the art itself,so that even when you return,the work still feels fresh.Anyone who thinks knowing some dates and details makes you better understand a work of art is wrong.We all need to put aside our screens and our supposed knowledge when we look at art.Let the paintings flow in;let your intuitions(直觉)fly off.Art is a journey in the wilderness or it is nothing at all.32.What does the writer mainly want to say?A.Art is best with the help of apps.B.Art is best when hidden in mystery.C.Art is nothing compared with nature.D.Art is nothing when details and facts are known.33.The underlined word“braggarts”refers to(指)_________.A.people who like showing offB.people who like baroque paintingsC.those who are good at appreciating artD.those who are good at painting with phones34.What’s the main idea of Paragraph4?A.How to appreciate a work of art.B.How to personal research into a work of art.C.How to keep your feelings about a work of art fresh.D.How to be spoon-fed amazing facts about a work of art.35.what can we infer(推断)from the passage?A.Because of apps,art will be ruined in the future.B.A good piece of art is usually made about nature.C.Research work and intuitions can both help understand art.D.Museums are not supposed to allow the use of mobile phones.四、阅读表达阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

Looking at art should be like walking in the countryside．You may not know exactly where you are, what bird is making that strange sound, or what the hill ahead of you is called, but that's part of the fun of it．You don't need to know these things to feel the beautyof nature．Of course, if you do know your birds, trees and local history, a walk can be more attractive． Yet such knowledge comes slowly． It is picked up through experience．A true knowledge of nature cannot just be given to you through an app on your phone．Imagine pointing your phone at the hill and getting plenty of information on screen． Would that enrich your dreamy walk or ruin（毁灭） it?________ enjoy an app that allows them to show off their knowledge, for example, about baroque（巴洛克风格的） paintings． In fact, apps in museums try to provide on﹣screen art history at once just to encourage people to read their phones instead of looking at paintings．It is a mistaken idea that you need to be spoon﹣fed（灌输） amazing facts about a workof art in order to appreciate（欣赏） it． Our first experience of a work of art should be raw （自然状态的）, unguided, and a bit puzzling, like following a path in thewoods． Later, you might choose to do some personal research into the work． It can further increase your enjoyment and appreciation for it． Yet it is best done when you're away from the art itself, so that even when you return, the work still feels fresh．Anyone who thinks knowing some dates and details makes you better understand a workof art is wrong． We all need to put aside our screens and our supposed knowledge when we look at art． Let the paintings flow in; let your intuitions（直觉） fly off． Art is a journeyin the wilderness or it is nothing at all．（1）What does the writer mainly want to say？________A Art is best with the help of apps．B Art is best when hidden in mystery．C Artis nothing compared with nature． D Art is nothing when details and facts are known．．（2）The underlined word "braggarts" refers to（指）________．A people who like showing offB people who like baroque paintingsC those who are good at appreciating artD those who are good at painting with phones．（3）What's the main idea of Paragraph 4？________A How to appreciate a work of art．B How to personal research into a work ofart． C How to keep your feelings about a work of art fresh． D How to be spoon﹣fed amazing facts about a work of art．．（4）what can we infer（推断） from the passage？________A Because of apps， art will be ruined in the future．B A good piece of art is usually made about nature．C Research work and intuitions can both help understandart． D Museums are not supposed to allow the use of mobile phones．四、阅读表达（共1小题；每小题5分，满分5分）阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．16. The game of Go was one of the four greatest artistic types in Chinese culture． It is not only a competitive event of the mind，but also a board game of entertainment．Created in China more than four thousand years ago． Go was introduced to Korea and Japan over 1， 000 years ago， and has since become a favorite activity of many people there． Today， Go still serves as a way of cultural exchange among the people in many Eastern and Western countries， as players in these countries take part in many international games every year．A game of Go has many implications（含义） for real life． It represents a square world of round pieces in black and white． There are 181 black pieces and 180 white ones in total．While the board is fixed，the pieces can be placed in millions upon millions of different ways， just as life in the real world may take many turns． The proper placementof each tiny Go piece is similar to how one might solve a difficult problem in life．Go pays much attention to peaceful competition and coexistence （共存）． In a game of Go，the players do not wipe out（消灭） each other's pieces． Instead， they simply try to wina larger share of space while allowing the other side some space． However， in chess and Chinese chess， the players try to wipe out as many of the other side's pieces as possible．The one who forces the other side's commander（主帅）into a dead corner then wins the game． Therefore， Go carries deeper cultural and philosophical connotations（哲学内涵）．Wu Qingyuan（1914﹣2014）， a modern Go talent， believed that the final purpose of the game was to try to achieve peace． Instead of fighting as enemies， the two players work together to play an excellent game．五、词汇（共4小题；每小题1分，满分4分）A）根据句子意思，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空填一词.17. ﹣Ann， is this umbrella________（you） or Jack's？﹣It's mine．18.

Being healthy means keeping everything________（好）balanced．23. The________（礼貌的）you are， the more others will like you．24. Simon， let's meet________（在……外面）the theatre at 2 o'clock．六、用括号内所给动词正确形式填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分}25. Many parents are considering________（choose）a good school for their children．26. We must remember that the medical workers________（fight）against the virus while we were resting at home．27. ﹣How is your program getting along？﹣ Jack Ma________（agree）to help us， but he has changed his mind．28. Don't hand in your report until all the information________（check）．29. Did Eric have his homework________（finish） before 9 o'clock last night？七、根据所给中文完成句子（共6小题；每小题1.5分，满分9.0分）30. 我们都在期望着尽快赢得比赛．We________ as soon as possible．31. 王老师对我们的发明如此满意，以致于多次表扬了我们．Mr Wang was so________ many times．32. 你介意解释一下你为什么不想和Sandy保持联系吗？Would you mind________ Sandy？33. 你们学校多久升一次国旗？________ in your school？34. 避免犯同样的错误是多么有必要啊！________!35. 丝绸摸上去比棉感觉更舒服．________ cotton．八、书面表达（共1题；满分15分）36. 假如你是报社的编辑Sigmund，收到了初三学生Peter的一封求助信．请根据来信内容，用英文写一封回信，帮助Peter解决问題．Dear Sigmund，I had a quarrel（争吵） about my hairstyle with my mother the other day．She insisted that I should cut my hair short because of the coming zhongkao， but I wanted to keep it long．I dream of a long hairstyle，but don't want to hurt my mother． What should I do？ How can I persuade（说服） her？Yours，Peter注意：1．文中不得出现你的真实姓名和学校名称；2．表达清楚，语句通顺，意思连贯，书写规范；3．词数不少于100．文章的开头已为你写好，不计人总词数．Dear Peter，It's a pity that you haven't come to an agreement on your hairstyle． But it's common for parents and teenagers to have different opinions．___________．Best wishes，Sigmund2020年江苏省常州市中考英语试卷答案1.

2020年常州市中考英语试卷分析一、单项选择1. Your home town is really nice! The air quality is as good as ______ of Sanya.A. itB. oneC. thatD. the one【答案】C【解析】本题考查的是代词。
题目的意思是“空气质量和三亚的一样好”，所以这边的代词应该代指air quality, 代指不可数名词用that。
it是代指上文提及的同一个东西，one是泛指，the one是特指。
2. --Who will give us the speech on public manners?--Mr. Brown ___________, but I'm not sure.A. canB. needC. mustD. might【答案】D【解析】本题考查的是情态动词。
根据语境和I’m not sure可知，M r. Brown可能知道谁给大家做关于公共礼仪的演讲，表示可能性但又不是很确定用might。
3. --Would you like to visit the zoo with me now?--Sorry. It's _________ the visiting hours. Let's go there tomorrow.A. onB. overC. duringD. beyond【答案】D【解析】本题考查的是时间介词的用法。
根据语境，sorry表示不能去动物园，因为不在拜访时间内。
学生容易把over和beyond搞混了，over是指空间上的超过，beyond可以指时间上的超过，所以本题选D。
4. --Don't you think it______ of some te enagers to be crazy about pop stars?--Well, I don't think so. We were once young and had the similar experiences.A. creativeB. sillyC. wiseD. curious【答案】B【解析】本题考查的是形容词的辨析。
