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。
80. —Have you found the information about the famous people ________ you can use for the report?
—Not yet. I’ll search some on the Internet. A. who
B. what C. whom D. which
解析: 选 D. 此题容易误选 A, C. 其实,仔细分析句子结构,我们发现定语从句的先行词是 information 而非 people, about the famous people 是先行词的后置定语。
81. The doctor did what he could _____ the dying man.
D. saving
解析:选 B. 此题学生容易受思维定势影响影响会误选 A, 其实本题是考查动词不定式表目的。
83. The life we were used to ______ greatly since 1980. A. change
B. has changed C. changing
D. have changed
解析:选 B. 此题也较难。 学生往往容易误选 A, C. 根据句意:我习惯了的生活自从 1980
年以来发生了巨大变化。we wrer used to 做 The life 的后置定语。
84. These coats are different _____ size.
D. in
解析: 选 D. 此题学生最容易误选 A. 句意:这些外衣在尺寸大小不一。
85.—Will you join us to play basketball on Saturday afternoon?
—________, but I promised to go swimming with Eric.
D. With pleasure
解析:选 D. 此题考查日常交际用语,根据答语可知选择 D. 即:我非常乐意和你们打篮球,但我答应和 Eric 去游泳了。
86. —Whom would you like to be your assistant, Jack or David? —If I had to choose, David would be ____ choice.
C. the better D. the best
解析:选择 C. 此题容易误选 B. 比较级一般情况下不加定冠词 the, 但表示两者较......时,则必须加 the。
87. —Where did you go on holiday this summer? England?
—You are _____. We went on a 10-day trip to Paris.
C. cool D.close
解析: 选 D. 此题容易误选 B. 但细心的学生一看最后一句就知道 England 和 Paris 并不是一个地方,说明问话人没有说对。选择 D 意为你快要说对了。close 在此句是形容词,意思是近的,接近的。
88. Shanghai is larger than _____ city in New Zealand. A. any other
B. other C. all other D. any
解析: 选 D. 此题学生也容易出错。句意:上海比新西兰任何城市都要大。如果把 New Zealand 换成 China, 则选择 A, 需要把它本身排除在外。
89. —Who is singing in the next room?
C. This
解析:选择 A. 此题容易误选 B. 在英语中,对猜测的或指代身份不明的通常用 it 来代替。
90.—Again, my computer doesn’t work.
—________must be something wrong with the CPU.
D. This
解析:选择 A. 此题容易误选 C. 此题其实是考查 there be 句型。There be something wrong with sth 某事出问题了。There must be something wrong with sth 某事一定出问题了。
