1、2018年江苏省苏州市吴中区中考一模试题英语一、选择填空A）单项填空从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）1.一There is a chess match between a Korean player and AlphaGo.一Its very amazing. Playing chess is usually onetoone game.A. /; aB. the; aC. /; anD. an; an解析：a，an，the三者都是冠词。a，an是不定冠词，表泛指，译为“一个”，a用在辅音音素开头的单词前面；an用于以元音音素开头
2、的单词前；the是定冠词，表特指。译为 “这个，那个，这些，那些”。因AlphaGo“一款围棋人工智能程序”是一个专有名词，有些专有名词前不加任何成分，因象棋比赛通常是一项一对一的比赛，是泛指，又因onetoone game，是以辅音音素开头的词，因此用不定冠词a.由题干“在韩国选手和阿尔法之间有一场象棋比赛。真是令人惊叹。象棋比赛通常是一对一的比赛。”可知，故答案选择A。答案：A2.Must we return the book to the library today?No, you _. You can _ it for two weeks.A. mustnt; keepB. mustn
3、t; lendC. neednt; keepD. neednt; borrow 解析：结合选项可知本题考查情态动词，根据答语中的No。可知为否定回答，意思是“不，没必要”，以must开头的一般疑问句，肯定回答还用must，而否定回答一般借助于neednt或dont have to，表示“没必要”，再根据for two weeks，可知这里是一段时间，句子中的动词应该用延续性动词，而borrow不能延续，这里可以用keep。故选C。答案：C3. _ advice he has offered us! We shouldnt follow him.A. What usefulB. What use
4、lessC. What a uselessD. How useful解析：从We shouldnt follow him判断这里的建议应该是无用的，用useless，再根据advicehe has offered us!可知这里考查了感叹句，本句的中心词是advice，它是一个不可数名词， useless是一个形容词，在这里修饰advice，根据What+形容词+可数名词复数/不可数名词+主语+谓语!答案：B4.Asmile costs_, but gives so much. So we should learn to smile. A. somethingB. nothingC. anyt
5、hingD. everything解析：something某事，某东西；nothing，没有东西；anything，任何东西；everything，每一个东西；根据句意微笑不花费任何东西但是给与的却很多，可知此题应该填nothing。答案：B5. The governments should the use of new types of energy to make agreener world.A. push inB. push forC. put out D. put up解析：A. push in意思为推入，推进，闯入的意思，放在句中语意不通B. push for意思为推动，放在句中语
6、意通顺C. put out意思为熄灭，放在句中语意不通D. put up意思为搭建，张贴，放在句中语意不通。答案：B6.If you are buying todays Nanjing Daily，could you get _ for me?I am glad to help you.A. itB. thisC. oneD. that解析：本题考查代词，it表示同一事物；one表示同一类别，this，这个；that，那个； 根据If you are buying todays Nanjing Daily, could you get _ for me，可知这里想买同一份南京日报，应该用one
7、。答案：C7.Whats wrong with Jim?His car broke down on his way to work. And_. The car behind was out ofcontrol and hit Jim.A. a good miss is as good as a mileB. it never rains but it poursC. the early bird catches the wormD. every dog has its day解析：A是失之毫厘，差之千里；B是祸不单行；C是早起的鸟儿有虫吃；D是人人皆有得意之时。根据题干可知吉姆车在路上抛锚了
8、，而且车失去了控制，撞到了他，这真是祸 不单行，故选择B。答案：B8. The old couple happily at their home when I walked past yesterday afternoon.A. heard singing B. heard to singC. were heard singingD. was heard to sing解析：根据题干可知，主语The old couple是动作hear的承受者，和动词构成被动的关系，应该用被动语态，表示“被听见唱歌”。被动语态的结构是“be+过去分词”；根据句意可知，老夫妇是被听到正在唱歌，应用hear sb
9、doing，其被动结构是be heard doing.根据句中yesterday afternoon可知，应该用一般过去时。一般过去时态的被动语态的构成：was/were+及物动词的过去分词；又根据couple“夫妇”表示两个人，应用were。故选C。答案：C9.Did you seeSuper Brainlast night?Yes. I never miss it I have something really important to do.A. although B. unlessC. untilD. but解析：本题考查的是从属连词的辨析。根据题意，从主句句意“我从不错过这个节目”和
10、从句句意“我有的确重要的事情要做”来看，这里需要一个表假设的连词，结合选项，unless可以引导一个表假设的条件状语从句，意为“除非”，相当于if not。故选B。答案：B10.I hope to take the DIY course at weekends.Good idea. _ more about it, visit the website.A. KnowB. KnewC. Knowing D. To know解析：考查不定式。A了解，动词原形；B过去式；C动名词/现在分词；D不定式。句意“我希望在周末参加DIY课程。好主意.要想了解更多，请访问网站。”这里用不定式做目的状语。答案：
11、D11. People may have different opinions about MaYun，but I admire him. , he is asuccessful businessman.A.As a resultB.After allC.As usualD. First of all解析：As a result结果是；After all毕竟；As usual像往常一样；First of all首先；此题 根据语境但是我很佩服他，毕竟他是一个成功的商人. 毕竟应该用After all.答案：B12.Lucy, do you have any plans to spend you
12、r .Maybe I will go to Shenzhen. I have never visited city. A. five daysholiday; the most fantasticB. five days holiday; the most fantasticC. fiveday holiday; a more fantasticD. fivedays holiday; a more fantastic解析：复合形容词主要用来作定语，并且只作前置定语，即要放在被修饰词之前。它也可以作形容词，表示一个长时间的特点或性质。结合此题其构成是：数词+名词（单数）+形容词，并且要用连词符
13、号连接；结合此句的关键部分holiday可知空处应该是作前置定语修饰名词holiday，所以符合上述用法。“五天”应表达为fiveday。而I have never visited_ city这里表示我从未去过一个更神奇的城市，这里是其他城市和深圳比较，这里用比较级形式。答案：C13.一Could you tell me ? 一Sure. Walk straight along this street and youll find it.A. how can I get to the museumB. where is the museumC. which is the way to the
14、museumD. how far the museum is解析：根据题干的结构可知，本句放在动词tell之后，是一个宾语从句。根据宾语从句应用陈述句语序可知，ABC都是疑问句语序，故用排除。故选D。答案：D14. He accepted the with pleasure. He thought it as an honor to attend such a greatparty.A. instructionB. invitation C. introductionD. invention解析：考查名词。A说明；B邀请；C介绍；D发明。结合语境“他愉快地接受了_。他认为参加这样一个伟大的聚会
15、是一种荣誉。”可知，参加聚会，应该是“邀请”。答案：B15.一You have made a lot of mistakes in the exam.一_I checked it several times.A. So what?B. Im afraid notC. Whats up?D. You must be joking解析：考查情境对话。A. So what?那又怎样；B.
