15、 D where will they have a picnic 答案： A 试题分析：句意：你知道上个星期天他们在哪里野餐了吗？首先上个星期天，句子判断用一般过去时， know之后引导是宾语从句，宾语从句用陈述句语序，故选 A. 考点：宾语从句语序及时态 点评：宾语从句是中考英语常考的语法点，除了要注意宾语从句要用陈述句语序外，还要注意时态的问题，主句谓语动词如果是现在时或将来时，宾语从句的时态可以是任何所需要的时态；主句中的谓语动词若是过去时，宾语从句也要用过去时态中的某一种。比如：一般过去时，过去进行时，过去将来时，过去完成时。但是在表达宇宙中的客观真理时，要用一般现在时态。 Ive a

17、_ did you pay for it $10. A How often B How many C How soon D How much 答案： D 试题分析：句意：你为它付了多少钱？ 10美元。由答语是钱数可知问句问的是多少钱，故选 How much。 考点： how构成的疑问词 点评：本题中 how often表频率，意为多久一次； how many 意为多少，修饰可数名词的复数形式； how soon意为多久，一般与一般将来时连用。诸如此类的短语，平时的学习过程中要加强记忆，对于他们的用法要记忆在心中，考试才能迎刃而解。 When should I ask her The soone

19、e,even,far修饰，而 more不能修饰比较级，只是构成多音节形容词比较级的一部分。 Terry told me that they planned to set off _ Tuesday morning. A in B at C on D for 答案： C 试题分析：句意：特里告诉我，他们计划星期二早上出发。英语中在具体某一天的上午、下午或晚上用介词 on；在年、月的前面用介词 in； at用于具体的时刻前面。故选 C.故选 C. 考点：介词 点评：介词是中考必考点，需要认真掌握。介词在英语中起到穿针引线的作用，英语介词的一个特点是一词多义，并且介词间语义交叉现象很多，习惯用法也很
20、多，有时很难从词义上区分开来。故学习中要注意不断总结，结合语境结合基本词义多记一些介词的习惯用法和固定搭配。 When I met her in Italy, she _ a photo of the tower of Pisa.

A something B anything C nothing D everything 答案： A 试题分析：句意：你想要一些喝的吗？请给我一杯冰的咖啡。不定代词something一般用于肯定句中， anything用于否定句或疑问句中， nothing用于否定句中， everything是一切事物的意思。通过句意，在疑问句中想得到对方肯定回答时，用不定代词 so
25、mething。故选 A. 考点：不定代词的用法 点评：英语中不定代词所起的作用非常大，尤其在口语中用途很广泛。当复合不定代词做主语，谓 语动词要用单数形式，当形容词修饰复合不定代词时要放在不定代词之后，如 something important. _ I use your telephone Yes, of course. A Would B May C Should D Must 答案： B 试题分析：句意：我可以用你的电话吗。当然可以。情态动词 may表示许可或征求对方的许可，有 “可以 ”的意思。 should 是应该的意思， must 是必须的意思。故选 B. 考点：考查情态动词 m
26、ay用法 点评：情态动词是中考的必考语言点。情态动词表必要性时用 must(必须 )与dont have to / neednt(不必要 )；表推测时用 must (肯定、一定 )与 cant/couldnt (不可能 )；表请求和许可时 can/may(可以、能够 )与 cant/mustnt(禁止、不许 )。 The 30th London Olympic Games _ on July 27th, 2012.

36、these Caucasus people arent alone. The Pakistani Hunzas, who live high in the Himalaya Mountains, and the Vilcabambans of the Andes Mountains in Ecuador seem to share the secret of long life too.

44、n pressure and pollution, clean mountain air, daily hard work, moderate diets, good genes, and a youthful approach to life all lead to the health and remarkable long life of all these people. 【小题 1】 What is the main idea of this article A Cause and effect of long-lived life.
