九年级是一个至关重要的学年，同学们要好好备考，下面是小编为大家带来的关于常州市中考英语试题，希望会给大家带来帮助。

常州市中考英语试题：

一、单项选择

1. Your home town is really nice! The air quality is as good as ______ of Sanya.

A. it B. one C. that D. the one

【答案】C

【解析】本题考查的是代词。题目的意思是“空气质量和三亚的一样好”，所以这边的代词应该代指air quality, 代指不可数名词用that。it是代指上文提及的同一个东西，one是泛指，the one是特指。

2. --Who will give us the speech on public manners?

--Mr. Brown ___________, but I'm not sure.

A. can B. need C. must D. might

【答案】D

【解析】本题考查的是情态动词。根据语境和I’m not sure可知，M r. Brown可能知道谁给大家做关于公共礼仪的演讲，表示可能性但又不是很确定用might。

3. --Would you like to visit the zoo with me now?

--Sorry. It's _________ the visiting hours. Let's go there tomorrow.

A. on B. over C. during D. beyond

【答案】D

【解析】本题考查的是时间介词的用法。根据语境，sorry表示不能去动物园，因为不在拜访时间内。学生容易把over和beyond搞混了，over是指空间上的超过，beyond可以指时间上的超过，所以本题选D。

4. --Don't you think it______ of some te enagers to be crazy about pop stars?

--Well, I don't think so. We were once young and had the similar experiences.

A. creative B. silly C. wise D. curious

【答案】B

【解析】本题考查的是形容词的辨析。根据语境，此处要选的是针对一些青少年对流行音乐明星疯狂的态度，creative有创造力的，silly愚蠢的，wise明智的，curious好奇的，此处只有silly比较符合语境。

5. --Could you tell me the _______ of making such tasty cakes?

--Well，I just follow the instructions in the cookbook.

A. time B. method C. cost D. menu

【答案】B

【解析】本题考查的是名词的辨析。根据语境，“你能告诉我制作如此美味的蛋糕的方法吗?”time时间，method方法，cost花费，menu菜单，此处只有method比较符合语意。

6. Life is a journey with trouble, but with care and wisdom you can ________ any problem you face.

A. work out B. hand out C. find out D. put out

【答案】A

【解析】本题考查的是含有out的动介短语辨析。work out 解决，算出，hand out分发，find out找出，put out扑灭，根据句意“生命就像一场有麻烦的旅行，只有用关心和智慧你才能够解决你所面对的任何问题。”本题应该选A。

7. --Jenny, will you leave for the USA now?

--No. It will be two weeks ________ I leave here.

A. until B. since C. before D. when

【答案】C

【解析】本题考查的是连词。根据句意Jenny不会现在离开去美国，所以应该是在走前还有两个星期，until是直到…为止，since是自从，when是当…时候，before比较符合题意。

8. Mike used to be a top stud ent, but he______ behind since he lost himself in computer games.

A. fell B. has fallen C. was D. has been

【答案】D

【解析】本题考查的是时态。根据since可知本题应该用现在完成时，fall behind落后，是个瞬间动作，当句中有since, for等表示时间段的时间状语时，要把瞬间动作改为持续动作，所以应该用be behind, 正确答案选D。

9. --Jack, I'd like to have your opinions about my report.

--________. But I have one suggestion.

A. That's a good idea B. I agree with you

C. It looks fine to me D. Check it first

A. what should they eat at the festival B. why people enjoy the full moon

C. what kind of race is often held D. how do people celebrate it

【答案】C

【解析】本题考查的是宾语从句。宾语从句需要用陈述句语序，可以排除掉AD, 再根据常识可知龙舟节跟欣赏满月没有关系，排除掉B，正确答案选C。

二、完形填空

How often do you let other people's rude actions change your mood? Do you let a bad driver or an impolite waiter make your day in a mess? However, the mark of your wis e reply to the actions is how ____11____ you can come back to smiling to them. Sixteen years ago, I learned this ____12____ at the back of a taxi in New York.

If you let them, they'll pour it on you. So when someone wants to pour it on you, don't feel hurt. Just smile, wave, and move on. You will be ____20____.”

I started thinking: how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and ____21____ it to other people? Then I knew clearly what I should do.

I began to see Garbage Trucks. I see the bad ____22____ people are carrying. I see them coming to pour it. And like my taxi driver, I don't feel hurt. I just smile, wave, and move on.

三、阅读理解

A

Last fall a beaver moved into the small stream beside our house. He began taking down small trees right away and in a couple of weeks our stream turned into a pond(水塘). Every day, he added more to his dam(水坝) and to his house. We're sure you've all heard the saying, "as busy as a beaver". Now, we understand this saying as we saw the work that this beaver did over a very short period of time.

We thought that would be the last of th e beaver's busy activity as winter came. To our amazement, however, he started chewing(咀嚼) on a very large tree. The tree was over 18 meters tall and around 1.5 meters in diameter(直径). We were amazed at the challenge this beaver was trying. All winter, he chewed and chewed. He had setbacks(挫折) as we faced major wi nter storms and ice-cold weather. But sure enough, when the weather allowed, he would come back and chew a bit more.

The beaver's first goal(目标) was to survive--to build home for the winter. Working every day with that goal in mind, he successfully achieved that goal. But the large tree he started chewing on last fall was a future goal-- he wanted the large tree to provide new food and branches(树枝) for the coming spring. Even with the setbacks he faced over the winter, he never gave up until he reached it.

Our beaver's experience reminds us that we need to set goals for tomorrow. Sometimes just surviving seems to take up all of our time. But, if you do just a little bit when time allows and stick to your future goal, you will achieve it.

When faced with setbacks, have your goal in heart and don't let the setbacks stop you. Keep chewing like the beaver, and you will achieve your goal in the end.

本文是一篇寓言故事。主要讲述 海狸尽管遇到了重重挫折，通过坚持不放弃从而在一棵大树上做窝并为来年春天准备了食物和树枝。

23. What is the purpose of the beaver's chewing on the large tree?

A. To provide more food for the winter because of the snow.

B. To add more branches to his dam and his house.

C. To prepare new food and branches for the coming spring.

D. To keep working every day with a goa l in mind.

【答案】C

【解析】细节题。根据文中“But the large tree he started chewing on last fall was a future goal-- he wanted the large tree to provide new food and branches(树枝) for the coming spring.”可知答案选C。

24. Here is a paragraph(段)"When spring arrived, we went down to see the beaver's progress. The tree was about to fall. Our beaver had almost completely chewed around and through the whole tree.” According to the passage, it should be put______

A. between paragraph I and paragraph 2

B. between paragraph 2 and paragraph 3

C. between paragraph 3 and parag raph 4

D. between paragraph 4 and paragraph 5

【答案】C

【解析】推断题。第三段讲的是海狸完成了第一个任务—为冬天做个家，然后开始完成第二个任务—为春天找棵树，下面一段就可以讲春天的情况了。

25. The best title of this passage might be_____

A. Keep Chewing B. Be Like the Beaver

C. As Busy as a Beaver D. Set Proper Goals

【答案】A

【解析】主旨题。本篇文章通过描述海狸这个动物来宣传一种不断努力的精神，A选项既涉及海狸又涉及到这种精神，所以正确。

B

Sometimes, you feel down or unhappy and it is hard to come back to your high sp irit. So if you're having a bad day and need a boost, then help is just a click away.

A website is trying to offer people positive(积极的)messages from strangers to cheer them up. It announces to be “the nicest place on the Internet", where happy people can present their positive thoughts and feelings to those who are in low spirits.

The website, thenicestplaceontheinter.net, lets people post videos of themselves blowing kisses and leaving positive and encouraging messages to lift visitors' spirits.

The webs ite was created by Jeff Lam and is considered to help many people out when they feel low. The well-known artist who lives in San Francisco said he came up with the idea when he and his friend Lauren were having one of those bad days.

"We tried to become cheerful, but none of the usual methods seemed to be working. Not music. Not food. What we hoped was something positive, honest and good. So with only a camera and work-free weekend, we created ‘The Nicest Place on the Internet’." he explained on his website.

One user of the site, Joseph Meehan, 27, from Birmingham, said, “It’s a fun and exciting website. I visit every once in a while when I'm missing my friends or family. I think it could really be a help to people that are feeling down or sad. It may even stop them from doing something stupid. You can also post your video to the website, and they add it to the series. It's very easy to share the love.”

Mr. Lam is now working on a new project that allows people to leave positive voicemails for strangers. The idea is that strangers send an audio(声音) diary by leaving a voicemai l and then anyone can listen to it.

本文是一则新闻。 主要描述了一个网站主要目的是让人们可以上传语音去给别人加油打气。

26 .The underlined word "boost" in paragraph 1 probably means ___________.

A. 鼓舞 B. 放松 C. 休闲 D. 提高

【答案】A

【解析】词义推测题。根据第一段“it is hard to come back to your high spirit”，come back to your high spirit跟鼓舞的意思类似。

27. The website was created in order to_______.

A. provide a place for those who want to post their videos

B. discover something positive, honest and good

C. recommend positive voicemails on the website to peopl e

D. offer something positive to cheer people up

【答案】D

【解析】细节题。 根据文中“The website, thenicestplaceontheinter.net, lets people post videos of themselves blowing kisses and leaving positive and encouraging messages to lift visitors' spirits.” 这个网站的目的是为了鼓舞人们。

28. According to the text, which of the following is TRUE?

A. Jeff Lam is working on a new project to collect more audio diaries.

B. Jeff Lam met a lot of difficulties during the time of creating the website.

C. Joseph Meehan has got help from the website and supports it.

D. Joseph Meehan has shared his own positive videos with strangers.

【答案】C

【解析】 推断题。根据文中倒数第二段“I visit every once in a while when I'm missing my friends or family.”可知Joseph Meehan从网站中得到过帮助并且支持这个网站。

C

I was just out of college, only three days into a gradu ate (研究生) year in England, and I was pulling a heavy bag and suitcase(箱子) through the London Underground. I was also crying out of control.

The day before yesterday, my uncle told me never to speak to him, his wife, or my two cousins again. Earlier, I made a joke. I didn't mean to hurt my aunt's feelings, but it did. I spent the evening in an ugly blue telephone booth (电话亭), crying as I spoke to a family friend who lived in England.

When I left the phone booth, I went back to a silent house with three closed bedroom doors. In the morning, I heard everyone get up and leave for work and school. I wrote a note to say sorry and pulled my bags to the train station. When I got into London, I had to take the underground to Angel Station to get to my fami ly friend's house.

I was familiar with the underground, but at the time, it was just endless white tiles(瓷砖). Coming to England seemed like a bad decision. Crying yet again, I tried to lift my suitcase up the stairs.

When I was trying hard to walk forward, there were hands. Each time I faced another group of steps, a hand would lift the suitcase. At the top of the steps, the hand would let go, and I'd pull the suitcase to the next group. And just as I wanted to try again, another hand would appear.

It happened several times. I never looked up, because I couldn't stop crying. Each hand looked different, and many different people helped me, without asking or saying anything. I couldn't look up. I wasn't able to say thank you.

I went on to have an amazing year studying in England, but that was the last time I saw or spoke to any of my uncle's family. Yet when I think about that terrible loss in 2008, I remember those strangers' hands. They were there when I needed them, and even now, they help me out of the sadness of that memory. I think of them as I ride the underground in Washington D. C. today, and I watch the citizens and tourists to offer hands at any time.

本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者在跟叔叔一家吵架之后心情非常低落地离开叔叔家，在路上遇到了很多好心人的帮忙的故事。

29. What was the writer's feeling while she was walking in the station?

A. She felt sad and helpless at first, but might feel warm later.

B. She was looking forward to getting help from friends.

C. She expected to leave London and go back home

D. She regretted making the joke, but was angry with her uncle.

【答案】A

【解析】推断题。刚开始作者到达站台时“I was familiar with the underground, but at the time, it was just endless white tiles”，表明作者很难过。但是当作者在站台行走时“Each hand looked different, and many different people helped me, without asking or saying anything” 得到了很多好心人的帮助，心里应该会感受到一点点温暖。

30. In the last paragraph, the underlined words "that terrible loss" probably mean_________.

A. I was crying when I took the underground in London

B. I left my uncle's family and haven't contacted them since then

C. I didn't say thank you to those who gave hands to me

D. I lost my good mood and felt sad when I left my uncle's family

【答案】B

【解析】细节题。根据最后一段“I went on to have an amazing year studying in England, but that was the last time I saw or spoke to any of my uncle's family.” 可知应该是从那之后再也没有联系过叔叔一家。

31. What is the passage mainly about?

A. It tells us a story about an unlucky and homeless college student.

B. It describes the writer's experience through the underground.

C. It expresses the idea of giving hands to strangers who are in need.

D. It shows the helping hands that writer got from strangers.

【答案】D

【解析】主旨题。本文的背景是跟叔叔一家吵架，主要内容是在站台收到了很多来自陌生人的帮助。文章最后作者也提到“They were there when I needed them, and even now, they help me out of the sadness of that memory.” 所以本篇文章主要是来感谢那些帮助他的人们。

D

Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair or your fridge? It is possible that they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, as the so-called "Internet of things" is developing.

The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. It is reported that during his speech earlier this year, Samsung CEO(首席执行官) BK Yoon spent a lot of time talking about the Internet of things. He said that five years from now, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, whether it's a washing machine or a vacuum cleaner(吸尘器).

So, how do household(家用) objects that are part of Internet of things work? Well, think of a usual chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.

An Internet-connected camera, like a smart-home camera, could help people feel safer in their homes. It can recognize(识别) people's faces, and even can see when someone passes by in the dark. Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's there. If the person is someone you don't know, it can tell you that, too.

But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security(安全) systems to the Internet, there may be problems. For example, many early connected-home devices(装置) don't have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻击). In addition, it could be difficult to get these devices to work together because they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2014.

So, picture this: you walk in through the front door of your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think.

本文是一篇科技文。主要讲述以后的家用设施将会更多地与网络相连，更加智能化。

32. The Samsung CEO's speech is mentioned to prove that_____.

A. the Internet of things will appear in our daily life sooner

B. Samsung has produced the Internet of things recently

C. Samsung products have been part of the Internet of things

D. he spent a lot of time talk ing about the Internet of things

【答案】A

【解析】 推断题。第二段引用三星CEO的这段话主要目的是为了证明第二段的第一句话“The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think.”

33. We can infer(推断)from paragraphs 3 and 4 that _____________.

A. the chair can know whether the user feels cold or not

B. a usual chair can warm up when it knows the user comes in

C. an Internet-connected camera can be used to take photos in the house

D. an Internet-connected camera can be connected to the user's smartphone

【答案】

【解析】细节题。根据“the chair warms up when it knows that the user has j ust walked into the room and is feeling cold.”可以排除A和B， 根据“It can recognize(识别) people's faces, and even can see when someone passes by in the dark. Then it can send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's the re.”可知选D。

34. According to the passage, it is mentioned that_____•

①the temperature inside is neither too high nor too low

②your fridge provides the drinks for you

③the chair warms up if you feel cold

④your favourite music starts playing

⑤your washing machine starts working

A.①②⑤ B.②③④ C.①③④ D.①④⑤

【答案】C

【解析】细节题。根据最后一段“The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable after a long day at school. Your favorite music starts playing for you.”可知①和④是对的，排除A和B。根据“the chair warms up when it knows that the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.”可知③是对的，所以选C。

35. What's the probl em about the Internet of things?

A. Companies which produce connected-home devices haven't joined together.

B. Connected-home devices may not work together and can easily get hacked.

C. Companies have difficulty connecting security system to the Internet.

D. These new devices are produced by different companies.

【答案】B

【解析】细节题。倒数第二段关于问题列举了两个例子“For example, many early connected-home devices(装置) don't have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻击). In addition, it could be difficult to get these devices to work together because they are made by different comp anies.”一个是容易被黑客攻击，还有一个就是有可能不兼容，只有B亮点都提及到了。

四、阅读表达

阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词

注意:请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格里只填一个单词。

Any time of the day you can devote to exercising is a good time for getting active, but if you want to make a healthy fitness plan, it may be helpful to keep several points in mind and find out the best time to exercise.

First, try to know what kind of person you are. Especially, are you an early bird who always wakes up early in the morning, or a night owl(猫头 鹰)who almost never goes to bed before midnight? Once you are generally aware of what your slee p characteristics are, you will understand better when your body needs exercise, either early in the morning, sometime during the day, or later on in the evening.

Second, consider your daily plan. When do you seem to be most busy, and when do you plan your most important tasks? Try to fit in your ex ercise before or at least around these events if possible, so that you can keep exercising and your life won't be affected(影响) as well.

Third, think about when you feel you have the most energy. For most people, that time is usually in the morning after a good night's rest, or after a long day of work. After a busy or much stressful day, exercising can reduce your working stress from hard work.

Lastly, find out the place you plan to do exercise. Your house provides exercise at any time if you own fitness equipment(设备), but if there is a gym(健身房)down the street or along the way home from work, it will make it more suitable for you to exercise.

More importantly, you need to make a plan and try sticking to it for one week. If you do so and can get through the exercise without being pulled in another direction, make it a habit. And once you have set up your fitness plan, don't make any great changes to it unless your doctor allows you to.

Introduction __ 36___ to take several points about exercise and find out the best time to exercise.

Main Points ▲Know your sleep characteristics and you will have a better __ 37___ of when your body needs exercise.

▲Make your daily plan well so that you can keep exercising __ 38___ affecting your life.

▲Think about when you are most energetic. Exercising after work can make you __ 39___ stressed.

▲Find out where to do exercise, and it will make it more suitable for you.

Suggestions ▲Stick to your time table and never give up for one week. Then a habit may be formed.

▲Don’t change your plan unless you and your doctor reach a(n) __ 40___.

本文是一篇说明文，主要提供了关于锻炼的几点建议。

36. 【答案】Remember

【解析】信息转换。把 “it may be helpful to keep several points in mind and find o ut the best time to exercise.”中“keep several points in mind” 转换为动词remember。

37. 【答案】understanding

【解析】原词重现。根据第二段“you will understand better when your body needs exercise”把动词understand改为have a better understanding of。

38. 【答案】from

【解析】信息转换。根据第三段“so that you can keep exercising and your life won't be affected(影响) as well.”改为词组keep … from doing…。

39. 【答案】less

【解析】信息转换。根据文中“exercising can reduce your working stress from hard work.”把reduce改为make you less stressed。

40. 【答案】agreement

【解析】信息转换。根据最后一段“don't make any great changes to it unless your doctor allows you to”可以需要医生同意才可以改变健身计划，根据搭配选择使用make an agreement。

五、词汇(共8小题; 每小题1分, 满分8分)

A)根据句子意思，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空填一词。

41. You'd better think _____________ (two) before you take the final action.

42. The more you read, the___________ (wealth) you will feel in spirit.

43. He was still _________ (sure) how to do it though we explained all over again.

44. To get good grades in the exam, we should avoid ___________(care)•

41. 【答案】twice

【解析】数词题。本题考查的是固定搭配think twice “三思而行”。

42. 【答案】we althier

【解析】形容词比较级。本题考查的是句型The + 比较级，the + 比较级。Feel是系动词后面跟形容词，wealth的形容词是wealthy，变为比较级就是wealthier。

43. 【答案】unsure

【解析】形容词。本题主要是要根据句意来判断，“尽管我们解释了一遍又一遍，他仍然不确定如何做”，用反义词unsure。

44. 【答案】carelessness

【解析】名词。本题主要是句意判断，“为了在考试中得到好的分数，我们应该避免粗心”，avoid后面用名词。Care先改为careless, 再改为名词carelessness。

B)根据句意及汉语提示，写出个单词的正确形式，每空填一词。

45. The girl tried her best, but she got _________(少) progress.

46. Qtan Xuesen is one of the greatest _________(开拓者) of China's space technology.

47. Everyone hopes to live in the world __________(和平) with no wars.

48. Though Money isn't everything, it still ________ (要紧) a lot to the poor.

45. 【答案】 little

【解析】形容词。此处学生看到前面best，后面容易写最高级。其实try one’s best是尽力的意思，此处没有最高级的用法。Progress不可数，所以此处填little。

46. 【答案】 pioneers

【解析】名词。开拓者是pioneers，one of 后面跟可数名词复数，所以填pioneers。

47. 【答案】 peacefully

【解析】副词。和平修饰live in the world， 副词修饰动词，所以填peacefully。

48. 【答案】 matters

【解析】动词。此处 “要紧”是matter，注意用三单。

六、用括号内所给动词的正确形式填空(共5题，每题1分，满分5分)
