1、2013届重庆市江北中学高三上学期半期考试英语试卷与答案（带解析） 单项选择 * _ worlds largest retailer, Wal-Mart, has opened its _ third store in Beijing, which means the firm now has 52 stores in China. A The; a B A; a C The; the D The; / 答案： D 试题分析：考查冠词题。第一个是最高级，前面需加定冠词。第二空因为前面有了人称代词，所以不能再加定冠词。句意：世界最大的零售商 -沃尔马特在北京开了它的第三家分店。故答案：为 D。
2、考点：考查冠词 点评：本题着重理解定冠词和不定冠词的区别，定冠词 the表示特指，不定冠词 a/an表示泛指；对于冠词特指和泛指的考察是历年来高考的必考点，平时的学习要多进行积累，仔细分析特指还是泛指。同时，更为重要的是要多去积累习惯表达，特殊表达，这也是近几年高考习惯考的地方。总而言之，多解题、多理解、多积累才是关键。 -You look unhappy, whats happening, my son -Im wondering how long itll be_ we come to China again. A since B when C before D after 答案： C 试
3、题分析：考查句型： It will be +一段时间 +before, 要多长时间才 ，这句话是这个句型的特殊问句， how long对一段时间提问，句意： -你看起来很不高兴，怎么了？ -我想知道什么时候才可以再来中国。选 C。 考点：考查固定句型 点评：固定句型： It was+一段时间 +before ，要多久 就（才） ，在考试中出现的很多，容易混淆的句型是 it is/has been 一段时间 since从句（过去时）；自从 以来，已经有一段时间了。区分的时候，一是从句意判断，还有就是根据主句的时态区分。 -Where did you save the drowning girl,
4、 _parents were both professors -It was from the lake _ she often went fishing. A who; that B whose; that C whom; where D whose; where 答案： D 试题分析：考查定语从句：第一句的先行词是 the drowning girl，定语从句缺少定语，用 whose引导定语从句，第二空的先行词是 the lake，定语从句缺少地点状语，用 where引导定语从句，句意： -你是在哪儿救了父母都是教授的女孩的？-就是在她经常钓鱼的湖里。选 D。 考点：考查定语从句 点评：定
5、语从句 关系词的考查，首先要确定从句是什么类型的从句，然后再分析关系词在从句中的成分，最后选择正确的词。要求考生具有一定的句子分析能力，和理解能力。这题容易选 B项，以为第二句话是强调句，实际上真正强调的部分被省略了，完整的句子是 It was from the lake where she often went fishing that I saved the drowning girl whose parents were both professors。 Id like to buy a house - modern, firm, comfortable, and _ in a quie
6、t neighborhood. A in all B above all C after all D at all 答案： B 试题分析：考查词组： in all 一共， above all 最重要的是， after all 归根到底，毕竟， at all （否定句）丝毫，根本，（除否定句）究竟，句意：我想买一幢现代舒适尤其是在安静社区内的房子。选 B 考点：考查词组 点评：这题的词组是用不同的介词或副词加上 all组成的，要注意区别，记忆的时候不能忽视，这是常见的命题方式。平时要加强记忆，做题时，别忘了要结合上下文句意判断。词组题没有捷径，只有加强平时的积累。 The washing mac
7、hine is of excellent quality. If there _ be any problem within the first three years, we would fix it for free. A could B might C shall D should 答案： D 试题分析：考查虚拟语气：句意：洗衣机质量很好，如果三年之内出现问题，我们免费维修，主句用的是 would do表示和将来情况相反的虚拟语气，从句可以四 should do，也可以是 were to do或过去时。选 D。 考点：考查虚拟语气 点评：虚拟语气在条件句中的用法是：虚拟条件句 与现在事实
8、相反的假设，从句是 If+主语 +动词的过去式（动词 be用 were)，主句是：主语 +should,would, might,could动词原形；与过去相反的假设从句用： If+主语 +had +过去分词，主句是：主语 should, would, might, could have done；与将来相反的假设，从句用 1、 If+主语 +动词过去式，主语 should, would do， 2、 If+主语 +were to+ 动词原形，加主句 3、 If+主语 +should +动词原形 ，加上主句的 might, could动词 原形 Lately, the media and ne
9、tizens a girl named Guo Meimei for her action, which led to people losing confidence in charity. A had criticized B criticized C criticize D have been criticizing 答案： D 试题分析：考查时态：句意：最近，媒体和网民一直在批评一个叫郭美美的女孩的行为，这导致很多人对慈善失去信心。副词 lately往往和现在完成式或现在完成进行时连用，表示动作一直在发生。选 D。 考点：考查时态 点评：英语中的时态主要由动词的形式决定，因此在学习英语
10、时态时，要注意分析动词形式及具体语境，想象在那个特定的时间动作所发生的背景， 这个动作是经常性动作、一般性动作、进行性动作、完成性动作还是将要发生的动作。这题关键是 lately这个副词。 Recently 也是和现在完成式或现在完成进行时连用。 A fantastic idea occurred to him _ he could use a plastic bottle, _ cut off, as a container to grow young plants in. A which; whose top B that; the top of which C that; with it
11、s top D whether; whose top 答案： C; 试题分析：考查同位语从句和独立主格结构，第一空是 that 连接的同位语从句，that起到连接的作用，不做成分，解释 idea的内容，第二空是 with复合结构，with+宾语（ its top） +宾语补足语（ cut），这不是定语从句，如果此题考查的是定语从句，则 cut off 前要加 was。该题考查的是 with 的复合结构，所以 C项正确。 考点：考查同位语从句和独立主格结构 点评：同位语从句的考查主要看同位词，一般 情况同位词是一些抽象名词，如belief， fact， order， news 等， that 是
12、不能省略的，第二空考生以为是定语从句，可是在定语从句中， whose 名词 of which the 名词或 the 名词 of which，所以题中 whose top of which the top 或 the top of which 的表达都对。而且分析句子可知后面的内容不是完整的句子， cut不是谓语而是非谓语。 The bus hit against a tree in the fog and _ to the deep valley, with then passengers killed and twenty wounded. A down did it roll B dow
13、n rolled it C it down rolled D down it rolled 答案： D 试题分析：考查倒装句：方位副词 down放在句首的时候，而且主语是名词的时候，要用完全倒装，把谓语提到主语前面，但这道题，的主语是 it，所以down提到句首，后面不用倒装，句意：汽车在大雾中撞到树上， 滚到山谷里，10人死亡 20人受伤。选 D。 考点：考查地点状语前置的倒装句 点评：有时为了强调而将作状语的副词 then， now， off， out， away， down等放在句首， 而将主语放到句末从而形成倒装， 这种倒装句中的谓语多为以下不及物动词： come, lie, stan
14、d, walk, 且为全部倒装的形式。而且主语是名词，不能用进行时。 2188 is a lucky number, _ I suppose, that will bring us luck and fortune and will be loved by us all. A it B one C which D that 答案： B 试题分析：考查代词：句意： 2188是个幸运数字，我认为这是一个会带来好运的数字，我们所有的人都会喜欢的。这里指代 a number，用 one， I suppose是插入语， that引导的定语从句，修饰 one， it指代 “同类同物 ”which引导定语从
15、句，这句话已经有 that引导定语从句了， that特指前面的可数名词单数或是不可数名词，选 B。 考点：考查代词 点评：代词首先要弄清它指代的是什么，指代的数量，结合句意和代词本身的用法，再进行辨析。这题容易错选成 which，考生还以为是非限制性定语从句，这时要进行成分分析，插入语可以先不看，分析 that引导的定语从句，再选择适当的代词。 I told them not everybody could run as fast as you did, _ A could he B didnt I C didnt you D couldnt they 答案： B 试题分析：考查反意问句：含有
16、宾语从句的反义 疑问句，反问时，应和主句的主语保持一致。这句话和 I told them 一致，前肯后否，用 didnt I？句意：我告诉他们，并不是每个人能能和你跑得一样快，是不是我告诉了？故选 B。 考点：考查反意问句 点评：主从句的反意问句，反问时，应和主句的主语保持一致。但当主句是 I think， I suppose， I believe， I imagine 等时，反意问句是和从句决定。如果是否定前移，反意问句是肯定。 -Are you going to take part in the speech contest -_Its too good an opportunity to
17、 miss. A No problem! B Thats for sure. C Why me D Why bother 答案： B 试题分析：本题考查交际用语。句意 -你打算去参加演讲比赛吗？ -那是必须的。这是一个十分难得的机会，怎能错过呢？ A是没问题， B. Thats for sure.那时肯定的， C. Why me 为什是我？ D. Why bother 为什么费事？只有 B符合语境 考点：考查交际用语 ： 点评：交际用语的考查要放在上下文语境中进行。本题四个项都是常考的要点。特别注意对话给出的语境，还要注意中西方的文化差异和西方的交际礼仪。不能受汉语影响。 - Would yo
18、u mind not littering in the classroom - _. Ill pick up the waste paper. A With pleasure B Thanks C No, not at all D Yes, thats all right. 答案： C 试题分析：考查交际用语 ： A. With pleasure很乐意 B. Thanks谢谢， C. No, not at all不，一点也不， D. Yes, thats all right.是的，没关系，句意： -你介意不在教室扔垃圾吗？ -不，一点也不，我把废纸捡起来。选 C。 考点：考查交际用语： 点评：
19、交际用语的考查要放在上下文语境中进行。本题四个项都是常考的要点。要注意中西方的文化差异和西方的交际礼仪。回答 Would you mind not doing，否定答语为： No, not at all.

20、itted 承认 D. permitted允许， be intended for为 打算的，句意：电影哈利波特 IV适合12岁一上的儿童和成人，因为它有恐怖和暴力。选 B。 考点：考查动词词义辨析 点评：动词的词义辨析要放在上下文的语境中进行，要注意上下文的语义的串联以及逻辑关系的推理，特别要注意一些动词的固定搭配以及动词的深层次的含义的区别。这题的几个单词属于形似的单词，要区别词义。有时考查的是其中一个动词的词组。 A turning point of the continuously high housing price wont appear suddenly because there
21、 must be a certain process _ many factors lead to the change. A which B what C where D that 答案： C 试题分析：考查定语从句。定语从句中不缺少任何主要成分，先行词 process在定语从句中充当地点状语从句。用 where引导定语从句：句意：在连续高房价之后不会突然出现转折点，因为必须有个很多因素导致变化的过程，故用 C。 考点：考查定语从句 点评：定语从句关系词的考查，首先要确定从句是什么类型的从句，然后再分析关系词在从句中的成分，最后选择正确的词。要求考生具有一定的句子分析能力，和理解能力。一些抽
