大家知道，现在的中考英语试题总体不难，只要不放弃英语学习的学生都可以考及格以上，但欲考接近满分却并非易事。因为为了适当拉开学生距离，命题老师往往也会出一两个所谓的压轴题，以把那些真正的英语尖子生选拔出来。有时候我们学生与重点高中失之交臂，就是失分在下面精选的难题上。
101. —Could you tell me___________?
— She has a pain in her face. A. what is the matter with her B. what’s wrong with him
C. what the matter is with her D. what wrong is with him
解析：选择 A。 此题我们容易排除 B, D, 因为后面的主语是 She. 此题学生容易误选 C. 其实本题中 What 就是主语，故语序不变。
102. Put it down, Richard, you mustn’t read __ letter.
D. anyone else
解析：选择 C. 此题容易误选 A, B. anyone else 任何其他人; anyone else’s 任何其他人的。
103. Do you have _______ to tell me? A. something important
B. important something C. anything important D. important anything
解析：选择 C。 形容词修饰不定代词必须放在其后面，我们排除 B, D. 此句是一般疑问句用 anything。
104. Butter and cheese ______ in price.
D. has gone up
解析： 选 D. 此题容易排除 A, B. 因为这里不表被动，Butter and cheese 是一种物质而非两种物质。
105. In our country every boy and every girl ______ the right to education.
D. are
解析：选择 A. 考查主谓一致。every +名词单数 and every 名词单数，谓语动词用单数。
106. A man of words and not of deeds ____ a graden full of weed. A. like
B. likes C. is like D. are like
解析：选择 C。 句子主语是 a man. 句意是：注重语言而缺少行动的人犹如一个长满草的花园。
107. John plays basketball ______, if not better than Jim.
D. as well as
解析： 选 D. 句意： John 打球如果不是打得比 Jim 好，就是打得与他一样好。
108. _____ neither you nor he enjoy fast food?
D. Are
解析：选择 A. 按照就近原则选择 A. 句意：你和他都不喜欢快餐。
109. The population of the world ______ still _____ now. A. has, grown
B. is, growing C. will, grow D. are growing
解析：选 B. 本题考查主谓一致和时态。The population of 作主语，谓语动词用单数，后面有时间副词 now，所以用现在进行时。
110. Half of the students ______ made the same mistakes.
D. are
解析：选 B. 分数作主语，谓语动词的数取决于后面的名词，名词是可数名词复数，谓语动词用单数，如果名词是不可数名词则谓语动词用单数。
