2019年中考英语选练(9)(词汇应用+语法填空+书面表达)
(限时:30分钟)
一、阅读理解。
A
阅读下列短文,选出最佳选项。
I made a pledge(发誓) to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting(引用) a Biblical(圣经的) passage about husbands being thoughtful(体贴的) of their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.
And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.”
“Oh, Tom, you noticed,” she said, surprised and pleased, maybe a little puzzled.
After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all the week and now she wants to stay with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new pledge to keep on remembering to choose love. There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. Last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
“What’s the matter?” I asked her.
“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “do you know something I
don’t?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well... that checkup(体检) I had several weeks ago... our doctor... did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me... am I dying?”
It took a moment for it all to sink in. Then I burst out laughing.
“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”
1. In the first paragraph, “No ifs, ands or buts” probably means ______.
A. unnecessarily B. unexpectedly C. impossibly D. unconditionally
2. From the story we may infer(推断) that Tom went to the beach cottage ______.
A. with his family B. with Evelyn C. alone D. with his children

A. she looked lovely in her new clothes
B. he had made a lot of money in Wall Street
C. he was determined to be a good husband
D. she was seriously ill
4. The underlined words “one thing” in the passage refer to the fact that ______.
A. he praised her sweater, which puzzled her
B. she insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated
C. he knew something about her illness but didn’t tell her
D. he was so good to her that she thought she must be dying
5. By saying “I’m just starting to live”, Tom means that ______.
A. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of life
B. he is just beginning to enjoy his life as a loving husband
C. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change
D. he is beginning to feel regretful for what he did to his wife
【参考答案】1—5、DACDB
B
阅读下列短 文,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Have you noticed your life becoming a little easier? Now, when you go to a certain shopping mall, you can enjoy its free Wi-Fi there. When you want to take a taxi, you can order one with your phone. In fact, all these can be seen as the basic parts of a smart city.
The idea of a smart city was brought up by US company IBM in 2010. Generally, a smart city is a city that uses digital technologies such as the Internet to improve city planning, save money and resources(资源), and make our life convenient. How smart can a city be? Here are great examples that we can learn from.
In 2009, Dubuque became the first smart city in the US. The city used smart water meters to take the place of traditional water meters. They can detect(探测)water waste and leakage(泄漏)and send information to let the house owner know. The same system is used for other city resources like electricity and natural gas. This way, people know how they use their resources and are glad to help reduce waste.
Santander in Spain also gives us a look at the future. If people point a phone toward a nearby bus stop, the phone shows all bus lines that serve the stop as well as their arrival times at once. The government organized a research team and provided an App(应用程序〉that collects information on almost everything: light, temperature, and the movements of cars and people. Opening the App near a supermarket provides information on special offers at once.

Ⅲ.One possible version:
Dear Tony,
How's everything going on with you? This afternoon, we had a class
meeting. In class, we talked about the advantages of breakfast as well as the disadvantages of not having breakfast. As you know, you can't pay attention with an empty stomach. And you may feel good the whole day because of the delicious breakfast. Most importantly, you can improve the relationship with family members at breakfast. Though breakfast is the most important meal of the day, most students still miss it quite often. If you don't have breakfast, it will do harm to your brain, which makes you slow in reaction. More unluckily, it will lead to some illnesses. What's your opinion upon breakfast? Can you tell me something about your breakfast in the next email?
I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Wang Kai
