广东省广州市2018年中考模拟英语试题(二)及参考答案
广东省广州市2018年中考模拟英语试题(二)一、完形填空1. 完形填空Today,it is a big problem for young graduates to get satisfying jobs.1that there are thousands of different kinds of jobs i n the world. Choosing the right one itself is not easy.“Finding a job" is not 2 as “choosing a job”. Many young people end up in a job because they are not 3 for it. Sometimes "chance" may 4 a more important part than “decision".Here are a few steps to help you think about jobs 5 you might enjoy doing after school or university. First,it is important 6what kind of person you are,which special qualities7 you outstanding among people and what you are interested in. There is a difference8 an interest and a skill. If you like9 and enjoy looking at pictures,that is an interest. But if you can10a horse that lo oks like a horse not a big dog,that is a11.Then ask yourself a question,"In the following three areas -- skills with people,skills with information and skills with thing s,which are your12skill?"After 13 your skills,the next step is research. To 14 as many different kinds of jobs as possible,go to the library and read books,magazines and newspapers for information. Ask your friends 15 the work they do.Finally,trust your own ideas and your own thinking! It is your own life,just find the job you really enjoy doing.2. 完形填空One early morning,an old gardener found lots of his flowers were missing. He was so1that he shouted,“Who did this?” He w anted to protect (保护) his flowers,2 he locked (锁上) the garden in the evening.The next morning,he found some of his flowers missing again. So he 3 to find out what had happened. When night came,he sat 4 to watch his garden. Soon he saw a tortoise (陆龟) moving slowly into the garden. The tortoise opened its mouth and at e a whole 5.The gardener ran to the tortoise and shouted,“I 6 you this time!”“I'm sorry. If you want to punish (惩罚) me,please do not 7 m e into water. It is 8to die that way,” said the tortoise.“You ate so many of my beautiful flowers. I must punish you!” said the old gardener. And he quickly threw the tortoise into a 9 next to his garden. After some time,the tortoise swam away10. Then the o ld gardener realized it was so silly to throw the tortoise into the lake because the tortoise was not afraid of water.二、阅读理解3. 阅读理解As young students,you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big,such as winning the Nobel Prize;they can also b e small,such as becoming one of the best students in your class.Once you find a dream,what do you do with it ? Do you ever t ry to make your dream real?Andrew Matthews,an Australian writer,tells us that making your dreams real is life's biggest challenge. You may think you're not very good at some school subjects,or that it's impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from r ealizing your dream. In fact,everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. D on't let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is,in fact,made up of many small dreams.You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty com es from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better e xam results,while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.As you get closer to your dream,it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.（1） If we have dreams in our hearts and work hard,our dreams _______.（2） Which is not right when you want to make your dream come true faster?（3） To make your dream real,the first thing you must do is _______.（4） Which of the following isn't mentioned in this passage?（5） The best title of this passage is _______.4. 阅读理解No one can change the weather. Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us,we can t ell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following da y or two is called weather forecasting.For many centuries and in all countries,people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. Many people feel their joints(关节) hurt in their bones if wet weather is coming. Som e birds fly high if fine weather is coming,but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. It is probably bec ause of the insects (昆虫) which they are hunting that they fly low. If you see a rainbow (彩虹) during rainy weather,this is a sig n that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night,then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river,then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in color,then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning,rainy weather will probably come. Most of the abo ve sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.（1） Which is true about weather forecasting?（2） According to the passage,people's joints ache ________.（3） The birds fly high and the stars twinkle clearly is a sign that the weather will________.（4） A rainbow is a ________ of the weather.（5） We must ________ to make weather forecasting.5. 阅读理解Everyone has got two personalities (性格)—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself,but when you're asleep,your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night,of course,you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.If you go to sleep on your back,you're a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by ne w ideas. You don't like to make people unhappy,so you never express your real feelings. You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.If you sleep on your stomach,you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you're always easily beco ming sad. You never want to change your ideas,but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not fo r tomorrow.If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩) ,you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often p rotect yourself from being hurt,so you are very defensive. You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.If you sleep on your side,you have usually got a well-balanced (平衡的) personality. You know your strengths and weakn esses. You're usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried,but you don't often get unhappy. Y ou always say what you think,even if it makes people angry.（1） You may find the passage in __________.（2） When does the sleeping position best show your secret personality?（3） Tina hardly tells her secrets to her friends. She probably goes to sleep __________.（4） What does the word “defensive" mean in the passage?（5） What does the passage tell us?6. 阅读理解In 1901,H. G. Wells,an English writer,wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers (探险者) landed o n the moon,they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the "moon people" they met. In mm,the "moon people" expressed their surprise. "Why are you travelling to outer space when you don't even use your inner space?" they asked.H. G. Wells could only imagine the travel to the moon. In 1969,human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However,the question that the "moon people" asked is still an interest ing one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.Underground systems (体系) are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities,such as Tok yo,Seoul and Montreal,there are large underground shopping areas. The "Chunnel",a tunnel connecting England and France,i s now completed.But what about underground cities? Japan's Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems,called "Alice Cities". The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats,offices,sho pping and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.Supporters of underground development say that buil ding down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth's space. The surface,they say,can be used for farms,parks,g ardens,and wilderness. H. G. Wells's "moon people" would agree. Would you?（1） The explorers in H. G. Wells's story were surprised to find that the "moon people"______.（2） What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?（3） What kind of underground systems are already here with us?（4） Which of the following is true?（5） What would be the best title for the text?三、任务型阅读7. 任务型阅读Lang Lang is only 27 years old,but has already been called "the most popular pianist on the planet" by American televi sion network CNN.Like every successful person,Lang went through years of hard and lonely practice before making his name .________ With great talent (天赋),he won his first competition at the age of five________ When he was nine,Lang went to l earn music in Beijing________But Lang got fired (开除) by the piano teacher six months later________Hearing about his so n's failure,Lang's father was so angry that he told Lang to jump off a building!________His big break came at age 17,when he gained worldwide fame at "Gala of the Century",a well-known concer t in Chicago,the US. Lang said it was his true love of music and piano that made him keep working.A.however,Lang didn't jump,and pressure(压力)soon changed to power.B. Lang's father pushed little Lang very hard to succeed.C. It totally destroyed (毁灭) his piano dream.D. He began to take piano lessons at the age of 3.E. His father even gave up his job and moved to Beijing with his son.四、根据首字母、中文提示填空8. Jim,you are old enough to look after y________.9.
