A. is, held B. will, hold C. do, hold D. will, be held 【答案】 D 【解析】【分析】句意：第二十四届冬季奥运会什么时候在北京举行？—2022。根据时间状语判断，时态为一般将来时态，主语the 24th Winter Olympic Games与动词hold之间是被动的关系，因此整个句子是一般将来时态的被动语态，答案为D。 【点评】考查将来时态中的被动结构：will be done。 2．—Tom, do you know ________? —In Beijing. A. where will the 24th Winter Olympics be held B. where the 24th Winter Olympics will hold C. where the 24th Winter Olympics will be held D. where will the 24th Winter Olympics hold 【答案】 C 【解析】【分析】句意：——汤姆，你知道第24届冬季奥运会将在哪里举行吗？——在北京。宾语从句的语序是特殊疑问词+陈述句的语序， the 24th Winter Olympics还没发生，故是一般将来时，与hole举办是被动关系，故是被动语态，故选C。 【点评】考查宾语从句，注意宾语从句的语序是特殊疑问词+陈述句的语序。 3．Let's wait and see whether books by the Internet in the future. A. replace B. replaced C. will be replaced D. were replaced 【答案】 C 【解析】【分析】句意：让我们等着看是否将来书会被网络替代。whether引导的宾语从句根据时间确定时态，结合in the future可知表达的是将来的事情，主语books是动词replace的承受者，故用一般将来时的被动语态will+be+过去分词，故选C 【点评】考查一般将来时的被动语态。 4．Over $30,000 ______ for a children's hospital by a British girl several months ago.

最新中考英语阅读理解专题(含答案)经典 一、初三英语阅读理解（含答案详细解析） 1．根据短文内容理解选择正确答案。 C What is your favorite color? Ask famous persons like Cate Blanchett, Scarlett Johnson, and Bono （singer for the band U2）, and maybe they will say “green.” That’s not because these artists like the color green best.

In the past, green fashion made people think of ugly clothes. But today, green fashion is different. It is about looking good and caring about the Earth and other people. You can have interesting clothes and be green. Around the world, green fashion is becoming popular. For example, the U.K. company People Tree sells me n’s and women’s clothing and accessories（配搭物）. They are made from natural fabrics（织物）like cotton and wool. Workers who make the clothes are from countries like Kenya（肯尼亚）, and Bangladesh（孟加拉国）. People Tree pays the men and women good money for the clothes they make. Singer Bono and his wife also started a clothing company called EDUN. When the clothes are sold, EDUN uses most of the money to help people around the world. （1）From this passage, we know that “green fashion” means________. A. putting green color on your face B. making clothes from green trees C. wearing the color green all the time D. wearing clothes that are good for the Earth （2）Today, green fashion is ___________.
