When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi‟s idea of non-violent resistance(非暴力抵抗). Having received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy)from Boston University, he became a political and religious leader of the non-violent civil rights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over 250,000 Americans on a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law(民权法) to guarantee（保证）equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech “I Have a Dream” before the Lincoln Memorial. The “dream” is a dream of brotherly love and equality for the Black and White. Thus, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for peace in 1964, but he was murdered four years later.Though he died, he was greatly respected and loved by the Americans, both the white and the black. By vote of Congress in 1968, the third Monday of every January is now a holiday in Luther King‟s honor. He lives in people‟s hearts forever.23. Martin Luther King was murdered when he was ________________ years old.A. 64B. 50C. 39D. 2824. The underlined word “delivered” can be replaced by ________________.A. gaveB. threwC. tookD. published25. What‟s the best title for this passage?A. Martin Luther King.B. How to Award the Nobel Prize.C. Civil Rights MovementD. Civil Rights LawBHow men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin （起源）of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other. Later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined （结合的）to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations(联系)---the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style（文体）. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can give his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We shouldtherefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them correctly, or they will make our speech silly and boring.26. The origin language is _________.A. a legend (传说)from the pastB. a matter that is hidden or a secretC. an easy question to answerD. something which is not yet known by people27. What is true about words? ___________A. They are used to express feelings only.B. They cannot be written down.C. They are sounds which can express thought ,feelings, actions and things,D. They are mysterious.28. Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT true? _________A. He is no more than a master of words.B. He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music.C. He can move men to tears.D. His style is always charming.CDuring my travels through the mountains of Greece, I was only ever scared once. It was dusk and as I walked alone I came across six large wolves（狼）that were feeding on the body of a dead animal. I had heard many stories about wolves as a child and it was this animal that I feared more than any other. The wolves before me were huge, at least 6 feet long and covered with thick grey fur.As I went near, the wolves left the blood-covered snow around the body and started walking towards me, one after another. They stopped about 20 metres from me and watched. The lead wolf raised his head into the air and took in a deep breath, as if he was smelling me. The animals looked both beautiful and frightening, but I knew I could not show them my fear. As I drew nearer, the lead wolf raised its head once more but this time made a long, loud cry. The awful cry can be heard across the silent valley. I had never heard a more frightening sound. I was almost sure it was a sign to be death.Every moment I expected to see the wolves run at me. I knew my only hope was to pretend(假装) I had no fear. I walked past the line of wolves, like a general（将军）moving among his soldiers. They cried out loud again. But when they saw that their cry did not cause me to change my way or make me run, they feared to come after me, so they let me pass and returned to the dead animal.If I had turned back or tried to run away when they marched out to meet me, I am sure the wolves would attack me in a moment. But my show of false(假的)courage intimidated them and kept them back.29. Wh y didn‟t the wolves at tack the man?A. They were no longer hungry when they saw him.B. The man was already known to the wolves.C. They were too far away to catch the man.D. The man showed no fear as he passed by.30. The underlined word “ intimidated” probably means“”.A. encouragedB. scaredC. doubtedD. hurt31. What is the author‟s purpose in writing this story?A. To show that mountains can be dangerous places.B. To discuss the habits of mountain wolves.C. To make people aware of the danger of wolves.D. To stress the need for courage when in danger.DTatyana McFadden was born in 1989 in Russia, with an illness that caused her not to be able to move half of her body. She was placed in an orphanage(孤儿院) that was unable to provide a wheelchair for her. Over the next six years, Tatyana taught herself to walk by using her hands and arms as feet and legs.When Tatyana was six years old, an American woman named Deborah McFadden visited Tatyana‟s orphanage. The orphanage workers tried to interest Deborah in adopting(收养) one of the able-bodied children, but she paid much attention to a special girl. “Tatyana was moving on the floor,” Deborah remembered. “Back at my hotel that night, I could not take my mind off her. Unbeknownst(背着) to me, she told everyone that day, …That‟s my mother,‟which she had never done before.”Deborah followed her heart and adopted Tatyana, taking the lively girl back to her home in America. Deborah brought her to doctors and was told Tatyana would likely live a year or two at most. But Tatyana showed that all the doctors were wrong.Deborah let Tatyana try swimming, gymnastics(体操)and wheelchair basketball although teachers doubted if she could do any of them. By the summer before ninth grade, Tatyana tried out for the Paralympic Games(残奥会). At last, she surprised everyone by making the team at age 15.As the team‟s youngest competitor, she went to the 2004 games in Athens, Greece, and won a silver(银的) medal and a bronze(铜的) one in two races. Then, at the Beijing games, Tatyana won three silver medals and a bronze one. Later at the London games, she won three gold medals and a bronze one.Tatyana says, “I don‟t let little things set me back, like being sick or being in a wheelchair. If I stay mentally strong, I can do anything.”32. Tatyana ____________ for the first six years of her life.A. lived in a poor villageB. couldn‟t read any booksC. walked on her hands and armsD. couldn‟t communicate with others33. Why did Deborah decide to adopt Tatyana?A. Because of Tatyana‟s story.B. Because she was interested in Tatyana.C. Because of other‟s suggestion.D. Because Tatyana did well in almost anything.34. What did Tatyana do after she was adopted?A. She took up different sports.B. She bought herself the first wheelchair.C. She went to see a doctor from time to time.D. She trained hard to be a member of the school team.35. From the passage, we can know Tatyana is a(n) ____________ girl.A. honestB. kind-heartedC. understandingD. strong-minded四、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）Happiness is a state of mind and its meaning and value differ from person to person. However, one thing that everyone agrees upon is that happiness is an invaluable gift of life.Happiness means different things to different people. For some, happiness lies in material wealth(物质财富)--- the more money they have, the happier they are. For some, happiness has no relation with material wealth; happiness for them lies in inner truth and satisfaction.Happiness is like a magic wand(魔棒) that helps you to effectively face all difficulties in life. It teaches you the power of positivity(乐观) and the meaning of life. We are often likely to neglect(忽略) the importance of happiness in our life. We perform our daily activities and end up leading a life like a robot, often neglecting happiness and its value.Whatever you do in life, one should always aim to achieve happiness. To live life to the fullest, one needs to understand what happiness is and how one can achieve it. Do things that give you happiness and peace of mind. Happiness is not hard to achieve. You just need to spend some time with yourself, understand your inner feelings and thoughts, and find ways that can help you stay happy and healthy.A happy mind is the way to a healthy and meaningful life. Thus, one should understand the true value of happiness in one‟s life so that one can live life, not justlive to live.五、词汇（共8小题；每小题1分，满分8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。

2015年江苏省常州市中考英语试卷-答案

江苏省常州市2015年中考英语试卷英语答案解析一、单项选择1.【答案】C【解析】句意：你的家乡真的很好！空气质量和三亚一样好。

it是代指上文提及的同一个东西；that，那个；one是泛指；the one是特指；根据句中信息，“as good as”的后面应该用代词that，指代air quality。

2.【答案】D【解析】句意：谁将给我们作有关公共礼仪的演讲？可能是布朗先生，但是我不确定。

can能，会，need需要，must必须，一定，might可能。

根据but I'm not sure。

可知在这里表示一种推测，可能是布朗先生，但这种推测可能性不是很大。

3.【答案】D【解析】句意：你想现在和我去参观动物园吗？对不起。

现在过了参观时间。

让我们明天去那里。

on+天（一天的上午、下午、晚上）；over在…之上、超过等；during在…期间；beyond超过；越过；那一边，根据It's_____ the visiting hours，Let's go there tomorrow是在参观期间，让我们明天去那里吧，说明现在不行，去动物园不属于现在参观的范围。

4.【答案】B【解析】句意：你不觉得一些青少年着迷于流行明星很愚蠢吗？嗯，我不这么认为。

我们曾经年轻过，有相似的经历。

creative有创造性的；silly愚蠢的；wise明智的；curious好奇的。

根据问句的句式结构，可知是一个反问句，表达的是肯定的语气；再根据答语I don't think so，不认同说话者的观点，认为我们在年轻时都有过类似的追星的行为。

结合语境我们可以推知这里需要填入的词应是一个贬义的形容词。

综合以上解析，结合选项只有silly有此意义。

5.【答案】B【解析】你能告诉我做如此美味蛋糕的方法吗？好吧，我就是按照烹饪书上的说明做的。

time，时间；method，方法；cost，花费；menu，菜单；菜，菜肴；根据句中信息“making such tasty cakes”和“follow the instructions in the cookbook”可知，该空应该填“方法，method”。

2015年常州市中考英语试卷分析(1)

3、试题给教学的启示：
1）动词是英语学习中的重中之重，其形式要随着句意及时间的变化而变化，应把动词作为英语教学中的重点。 2）在动词教学中，要考虑到其形式的变化教学，把动词渗透到句子，语境和语篇中教学。 3）平时加强专项训练，渗透技巧指导，指导学生在读题时做到瞻前顾后、左顾右盼、抓住句子的关键词，充分考虑到句子的前后语境、习惯搭配及句子结构，才能决定动词的正确形式。
（六）动词填空：
1、试题特点：
难度中上，体现能力
1）英语中的动词是学生学习的重点和难点。该项考查的是动词时态、语态、非谓语动词的综合运用。 2）这类题在语境或情景对话中考查学生动词的灵活运用能力。 2、考查点：
题号测试点 49 现在完成时 50 51 52 过去进行时 53 过去时被动语态一般将来不定式时
（三）阅读理解：富有深度，难易交融
1、材料特点：
1）阅读文章较长: 阅读材料图文并茂，每篇文章均在 300词以上，加上问题与选项，每篇词数均达上400。这样大大增加阅读量，阅读速度要求提高。这是近年来阅读材料选择的新走向。 2）体裁题材丰富: A B 说明文说明文寓言故事新闻类 C 记叙文故事类 D 说明文科普类
（六）动词填空：3、主要难 Nhomakorabea：难度中上，体现能力
学生对于长句（如主从句、定语从句等）缺乏独立的思考和理解；对语境缺乏感知、分析和判断能力。 50. --Have you handed in your project? --No. I ___________ (check) it again right away. 50.【答案】will check 【解析】虽然问句是现在完成时，但是答句中后半句right away表明事情还没有做，所以用一般将来时。 51. That is the only way we can imagine _____ (reduce) the waste of water in the bathroom. 51.【答案】to reduce 【解析】本题把定语从句放入题目中混淆学生的判断。We can imagine是用来修饰the only way的，后面reduce the waste作目的状语，所以用to do 表目的。

ALast fall a beaver moved into the small stream beside our house. He began taking down small trees right away. and in a couple of weeks our stream turned into a pond(水塘).Every day,he added more to his dam(水坝)and to his house. We're sure you've all heard the saying, "as busy as a beaver". Now, we understand this saying as we saw the work that this beaver did over a very shortperiod of time.We thought that would be the last of the beaver's busy activity as winter came. To our amazement, however, he started chewing(咀嚼)on a very large tree. The tree was over 18 meters tall and around 1.5 meters in diameter(直径).We were amazed at the challenge this beaver was trying. All winter, he chewed and chewed. He had setbacks(挫折)as we faced major winter storms and ice-cold weather. But sure enough, when the weather allowed, he would come back and chew a bit more.The beaver's first goal(目标)was to survive--to build。
