going to pay her 50 an hour．"Delia，"Joesaid，"I'd be much happier if you kept up your lessons．"Delia said that it didn't matter．She said，"When I've made some money，I'll start again．When you love your

often多久一次，提问的是频率；how far多远，提问距离．根据题干Over15years．超过15年．可知问的是一段时间，应说罗琳写《哈利波特》系列花了多长时间？故选C．【点评】仔细分析句子的结构，掌握一些固定用法，根据具体内容作答．2．（1分）I don't care how you do the job．I only care it can be done．Just give me a date!（）A．where B．when C．what D．why【分析】我不在乎你怎么做这份工作，我只在乎什么时候能做，给我一个日期！【解答】答案：B．考查疑问词．句意"我不在乎你怎么做这份工作，我只在乎什么时候能做，给我一个日期！"．A哪．B什么时候．C什么．D为什么．结合语境"我不在乎你怎么做这份工作，我只在乎___能做，给我一个日期！"．可知，应该是"什么时候"，用疑问词when．答案是B．【点评】疑问词通常用来构成疑问句，要根据回答的具体内容进行选择，注意一些固定搭配，分清疑问词的用法．3．（1分）Tom!You're no longer a 3﹣year﹣old kid．I can cook dinner for you，but don't expect me to do for you．Go and tidy your room!（）A．everythingB．something C．anything

longer a 3﹣year﹣old kid．I can cook dinner for you，but don't expect me to do汤姆!你不再是一个3岁的孩子了．我可以为你做饭，但是别指望我为你做．后半句Go and tidy your

D．had helped【分析】他们承诺他们会帮助我找钥匙直到找到．但是他们一会就走了．【解答】答案：C．that引导的宾语从句，主句是一般过去时，从句用相应的过去时，排除A，B．结合They promised that they me look for my key until it was found．But they soon walked away 是表达承诺会帮忙，故用过去将来时would+动词原形，故答案是C．【点评】本题旨在考查宾语从句这一语法，做这类题时，要从三方面考虑：一、选准连接词二、连接词后紧跟从句的主语三、若主句是过去时，从句要改为相对应的过去时．5．（1分）There's one taken by the River Seine these photos．Can you find it out？（）A．except B．including C．between D．among【分析】有一张在塞纳河边照的包括在这些照片里，你能找出来吗？【解答】答案：B

charges．including是介词，不是动词．6．（1分）﹣I've just received a Wechat message﹣"ttyl"．Do you know____？﹣It stands for"talk to you later"．（）A．how does it mean B．how it meansC．what does it mean D．what it means【分析】﹣﹣我刚收到一个微信消息"ttyl"．你知道这意味着什么？﹣﹣它的意思是"以后再跟你交谈．"【解答】答案：D．根据Do you know，可知本句考查了宾语从句的用法．在宾语从句中所使用的语序应该是陈述句语序，选项AC是疑问句语序，排除掉．再根据It stands for"talk to you later"，可知这里的意思是它的意思是"以后再跟你交谈．"mean是个及物动词，这里用what作它的宾语．故选D．【点评】本题考查宾语从句，做题时注意三要素时态、语序和引导词．本题先考虑语序问题，再根据句子的上下文的意思，做出选择．7．（1分）We all have our time machines，don't we？Those that take us back are memories．And those that carry us are dreams．（）A．behind B．forward C．away D．round【分析】我们都有自己的时光机器，不是吗？将我们带回过去的称为回忆，将我们带去未来的称为梦想．【解答】答案：B 根据前文Those that take us back are memories将我们带回过去的称为回忆，后文are dreams是梦想，回忆与梦想相对，故所填的词应该与back对应，故选B前面，是个介词．A在后面，C相距，D圆形的．【点评】解答此类试题时，要充分理解上下文的语境，结合所给词，进行解答．8．（1分）I won't any more of your time．But would you give me a direct"yes"or"no"？（）A．give up B．take up C．make

direct"yes"or"no"？可知应说我不会再占据你的时间了．但是你会给我一个直接的"是"或"不"吗？故选B．【点评】理解各个选项的含义，及其用法的区别，根据具体内容作答．9．（1分）﹣How can Julie say bad words about me？I thought we were good friends．﹣Who told you that？Friends need

All he had left now was a sheet of the beautiful brown paper Pa had brought back from his last sailing trip."You’ve been quiet, " Pa said, "Could I see your picture? "Garrison handed over his sketch. Pa studied it, then looked at his son. "You’re ten now, eh? " Garrison nodded, hoping Pa wouldn’t say that he was too old to be fooling around with pencils and paper."When I was ten, I wanted to work on my father’s ship, " Pa said, "When Thomas was ten, he asked me to let him plant the corn. "Garrison’s throat (嗓子) tightened. "I know I’m not like either of you. " Pa looked at the drawing again."No, you are like both of us. You work hard, like Thomas. And you’re like me, too. I have wandering feet, but you have a wandering mind. We need to see things differently.Garrison frowned. "I’d rather love the land, like Thomas, or the sea…"Pa patted his hand. "Thomas cares about our family very much-that’s why he’s worked so hard to bring us food. And my love for the sea makes good money. But there’s more in life than food and money. There’s happiness, for one. Does it make you happy to draw? "Garrison nodded."And it makes me happy to look at your drawings. Not many folks can catch happiness on a piece of paper. Some might say drawing’s a waste of time, but they don’t understand how things are. Why, asking you to stop drawing like asking Thomas to stop farming, or me to stop going to sea. It would be like asking us to stop breathing, wouldn’t it? "Garrison considered this, then replied, "No, sir. Not quite like breathing. If I couldn’t draw any more, it would be… like someone took away my voice. " He hung his head. In his mind he could hear Thomas laughing, "It’s not like you ever speak up, anyway. "But Pa patted his shoulder and said, "That would be a pure shame. Your voice is important, Garrison, whether it’s out loud or on paper. And speaking of paper…" Pa smiled. "Take a look in my bag. "Garrison reached into the bag and found a sketchbook. For a moment he was speechless happiness seemed to fill his body and stick in his throat. Then he managed to find his voice. "Oh, Pa-thank you. "31．Why did Garrison’s throat tighten?A．Because he felt thirsty.B．Because he felt very scared.C．Because he knew he was not like Pa or Thomas.D．Because he thought Pa would stop him drawing.32．When Garrison frowned, he most probably felt _________________.A．unhappy B．worried C．afraid D．ashamed 33．What can we infer from the passage about Garrison?A．He lived in a big wealthy family.B．He was his father’s favourite son. C．He would go on with his drawing.D．He would learn to work on the farm.In 1845, a deadly disease struck the farms of Ireland, killing all the Lumper potato plants. In another place or time, the death of single crop species (物种) might not have been so important. But in Ireland, in 1845, people depended almost solely on the patato for food. The death of one species caused a terrible famine(饥荒). Now, some scientists are worried that such a famine could happen again, but on a much wider scale.Over the centuries, farmers have discovered thousands of different species of food crops. Each species has special qualities. Some can be grown in very hot or cold climates. Others are not affected by certain diseases. However, you won’t find many of these species in your local supermarket. To feed the seven billion people on Earth, most farmers today are growing only species of plants and farming only species of animals that are easy to produce in large numbers.For example, in the Philippines, there were once thousands of varieties of rice: now fewer than 100 are grown there. In China, 90 percent of the wheat varieties grown just a century ago have disappeared. Scientists believe that over the past century, we have allowed more than half of the world’s food varieties to disappear.One solution to this problem is to collect and store the seeds (种子) as many different plant varieties as we can before they disappear. The idea was first suggested by Russian scientist Nikolay Vavilov. In the 1920s and 1930s, he collected around 400,000 seeds from five contients. More recently, others are continuing the work he began.In the U.S. state of Iowa, Diane Ott Whealy wanted to protect historic plant varieties, like the seeds her great –grandfather brought to the U.S. from Germany more than a hundred years ago. She and her husband started a place called Heritage Farm, where people can store and trade seeds.More importantly, the people at Heritage Farm don’t just store the seeds; they plant them. By doing this, they are reintroducing foods into the marketplace that haven’t been grown for years. These food species are not just special in terms of appearance or taste. They also offer farmers food solutions for the future, from the past.34．What is this passage mainly about?A．The need to protect different food species.B．How to increase the number of food species.C．The fact that many food species are dying out.D．How to prevent food species from disappearing.35．Why are some scientists worried that such a famine could happen again?A．Because people depend on certain species of food crops.B．Because the same deadly disease may attack crops again.C．Because the world’s population is larger than that in 1845.D．Because farmers grow the same potatoes as those in the past.36．The following sentence would best be placed at the end of _______________.Meanwhile, thousands of other species are dying out.A．Paragraph 1B．Paragraph 2C．Paragraph 3D．Paragraph 4 37．What can we learn from the passage?A．The disease spread very quickly and killed thousands of people in Ireland.B．Around 80 percent of the rice varieties in the Philippines have disappeared.C．People have been storing seeds to save plane varieties for less than 100 years. D．Heritage Farm is the first place in the U.S. for people to store and trade seeds.四、根据首字母填空根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。

Garrison had been treasuring his last piece． All he had left now was a sheet of the beautiful brown paper Pa had brought back from his last sailing trip．"You've been quiet, " Pa said, "Could I see your picture? "Garrison handed over his sketch． Pa studied it, then looked at his son． "You're ten now, eh? " Garrison nodded, hoping Pa wouldn't say that he was too old to be fooling around with pencils and paper．"When I was ten, I wanted to work on my father's ship, " Pa said, "When Thomas was ten, he asked me to let him plant the corn． "Garrison's throat （嗓子） tightened． "I know I'm not like either of you． " Pa looked at the drawing again．"No, you are like both of us． You work hard, like Thomas． And you're like me, too． I have wandering feet, but you have a wandering mind． We need to see things differently． ________． "I'd rather love the land, like Thomas, or the sea…"Pa patted his hand． "Thomas cares about our family very much﹣that's why he's worked so hard to bring us food． And my love for the sea makes good money． But there's more in life than food and money． There's happiness, for one． Does it make you happy to draw?

In 1845, a deadly disease struck the farms of Ireland, killing all the Lumper potato plants． In another place or time, the death of single crop species （物种） might not have been so important． But in Ireland, in 1845, people depended almost solely on the potato for food． The death of one species caused a terrible famine（饥荒）． Now, some scientists are worried that such a famine could happen again, but on a much wider scale．Over the centuries, farmers have discovered thousands of different species of foodcrops． Each species has special qualities． Some can be grown in very hot or cold climates． Others are not affected by certain diseases． However, you won't find many of these species in your local supermarket． To feed the seven billion people on Earth, most farmers today are growing only species of plants and farming only species of animals that are easy to produce in large numbers．For example, in the Philippines, there were once thousands of varieties of rice: now fewer than 100 are grown there． In China, 90 percent of the wheat varieties grown just a century ago have disappeared． Scientists believe that over the past century, we have allowed more than half of the world's food varieties to disappear．One solution to this problem is to collect and store the seeds （种子） as many different plant varieties as we can before they disappear． The idea was first suggested by Russian scientist Nikolay Vavilov． In the 1920s and 1930s, he collected around 400, 000 seeds from five continents． More recently, others are continuing the work he began．In the U．S． state of Iowa, Diane Ott Whealy wanted to protect historic plant varieties, like the seeds her great ﹣grandfather brought to the U．S． from Germany more than a hundred years ago． She and her husband started a place called HeritageFarm, where people can store and trade seeds．More importantly, the people at Heritage Farm don't just store the seeds; they plant them． By doing this, they are reintroducing foods into the marketplace that haven't been grown for years． These food species are not just special in terms of appearance or taste． They also offer farmers food solutions for the future, from the past．（1）What is this passage mainly about？________A The need to protect different food species．B How to increase the number of food species．C The fact that many food species are dying out．D How to prevent food species from disappearing．．（2）Why are some scientists worried that such a famine could happen again？________A Because people depend on certain species of food crops．B Because the same deadly disease may attack crops again．C Because the world's population is larger than that in 1845．D Because farmers grow the same potatoes as those in the past．．（3）The following sentence would best be placed at the end of________．Meanwhile，thousands of other species are dying out．A Paragraph 1B Paragraph 2C Paragraph 3D Paragraph 4．（4）What can we learn from the passage？________A The disease spread very quickly and killed thousands of people inIreland． B Around 80 percent of the rice varieties in the Philippines have disappeared． C People have been storing seeds to save plane varieties for less than 100 years． D Heritage Farm is the first place in the U．S． for people to store and tradeseeds．．四、词汇运用（本大题共 8 小题，每小题 1 分，共 8 分）（A）根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式．20.

Britons are well known for drinking tea． The average （典型的） person in the UK drinks around 1.9 kg of tea every year． That's around 876 cups of tea． Tea is drunk by all levels of society． But tea does not grow in Britain． Most tea grows in India and China． So，how did it become an important part of British culture？Tea arrived in London in the 1600s． At this time， British ships were exploring the world and came across the drink in China． It was not long before green tea could be bought from the market． However， it was only for the rich people．At the beginning of the 1700s， the amount（数量）of tea arriving in Britain increased rapidly． Black tea arrived at this time． At first this tea served exactly as it was in China． They soon discovered that it mixed really well with a little milk and sugar， giving the drink a special British colour．In the 1800s， tea was still a product enjoyed only by people with money． At this time they began to have "afternoon tea"． They drank tea with a snack around 4 pm to avoid feeling hungry between lunch and dinner． It is a tradition that is still going today but has become less popular in recent times．Title：（1）________ and Britain﹣a short history七、完成句子按所给的汉语，用英语完成下列句子，并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上．（本大题共6小题，每小题1分，共6分）35. 事关重大，你得三思而行．It's very important and________．36. 赫本在《罗马假日》中扮演一位公主，堪称经典．Hepburn________ a princess in Roman Holiday and it is a classic．37. 警方报告显示该事故与天气无关．The police report shows that the accident________the weather．38. 写作占去了我四分之三的假期，但我乐在其中．Writing________my holiday， but I enjoyed myself．39. 出于安全原因，这次年终特价优惠最终被取消了．The end﹣of﹣year________at last．40. 如果你能告诉我机器人已失控多久，那就太好了．It would be great if you can tell me________．八、书面表达（本大题共 15 分）41. 假设你叫李文，是无锡阳光中学（Wuxi Sunshine Middle School）的一名学生．今天暑期，你将代表你校赴瑞士参加"模拟联合国"会议并发言，此次会议的主题是A Green World．你草拟了发言流程图，请根据下图写一篇英文发言稿．注意事项：1．发言稿须根据流程图自拟，要求语句通顺、意思连贯、符合题意；2．流程图中包括部分非限定性内容，仅供参考；3．词数在 90 个左右，发言稿的首尾已在答题卡上给出，不计入总数．4．发言稿中不得使用真实的个人及学校信息．5．发言稿必须写在答题卡指定的位置上．________．2019年江苏省无锡市中考英语试卷答案1.

" I simply asked him to treat me with the same respect he would like to be treated with． He did it and we got along better slowly． I believed there was hope and finally we would become friends and now we are．（1）Why didn't the author refer to John as a friend at first？________A They seldom spent free time together．B They had only met for twoweeks． C Their wives didn't know each other． D They had many disagreements on work．．（2）What did John most probably mean by saying the underlined sentence？________A The company he and the author worked in was very good．B The writer was wise not to ask an employment agency for help．C He had helped the author get a job without a penny．D The writer didn't give him several hundred dollars to express his gratitude．．（3）Which of the following is TRUE according to the third and fourth paragraphs？________ A John was an experienced and hard﹣working employee． B The writer was very slow in learning new things． C John hardly lent an ear to what the writer expressed． D The writer slowly got used to his work．（4）What's the writer's purpose of sharing his story？________A To express his dislikes with John．B To show the importance ofcommunication C To remind us what problems can happen at work． D To describe how to get on with your workmate．四、词汇运用（共8分）（A）根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卡对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式．20.

We all need physical exercise． Exercise uses up food we eat and keeps the body energetic． If you exercise several times a week， you will stay happy and healthy．Some Western countries， such as the United States， have problems with exercise． In the US， many people don't have enough exercise because it is hard for them． People have towork from morning to late afternoon， so they don't have time to take exercise． They work in office buildings sitting in chairs all day long in front of computers． It is impossible for them to get much exercise in this way．Some Westerners can get exercise walking from their homes to work． However， most of people cannot do this． It is too far from their homes to their offices． They have no choice but to drive to work． In fact， some have to drive one or two hours to their offices． This is not good in two ways． First， these people don't have a chance to exercise because they are sitting in their cars for two to four hours each day． Second， driving is challenging especially in rush hours and needs too much attention． It makes a person very tired． So，when these people arrive home at night， they don't want to take exercise after work．Today， many people in the West are overweight which causes health problems for them． Doctors say exercise can help people both lose weight and improve their health． So many people are trying to get more exercise． But it takes time to change， and when people don't see a difference right away， they will lose confidence and stop exercising．七、完成句子按所给的汉语，用英语完成下列句子，并将答案写在答题卡对应题号的横线上（共6分）35. 这是个为猫痴狂的年代，难怪星巴克的猫爪杯一上市，就成功吸引了许多消费者的关注．This is a crazy age for cats． No wonder Starbucks' cat paw cups________ as soon as they were on sale．36. 如果你认为这个节目太传统不值得一提，那你就大错特错了．If you think the program is________， you are completely wrong．37. 不要多虑，你女儿这么外向，怎么可能会难以与新同学相处？Don't worry too much． You daughter is so outgoing， how can she________her new classmates？38. 社会发展得太快，谁会站在下一个技术领域的潮头，没人会知道．The society is developing so fast that nobody knows who________ next．39. 他的同龄人已搬回城市好多年了，可是他依然坚守着那片保护区．People________ the city for many years， but he still remains in the reserve．40. 近年来，汉语热席卷全球，这标志着人们对中国及中国文化兴趣的激增．Chinese fever has swept the world in recent years． This________ in China and Chinese history．八、书面表达（本大题共15分）41. 为提高中学生英语素养，我市将在下学期所有学校推进课外英语阅读活动（Extra﹣cumcular Reading）．你校校刊KIDS MAG中HAVE YOUR SAY栏目在广大学生中展开征文活动，想了解学生们的真实想法．注意：（1）对所有要点逐一陈述，适当发挥．（2）词数90词左右．文章的开头已经给出．不计人总词数；（3）文中不得提及有关考生个人身份的任何信息，如校名、人名等．I'm glad to share my ideas about English extra﹣curricular reading in our school next term2019年江苏省无锡市中考英语模拟试卷（5月份）答案1.
