But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldn’t start it again if there was no lighting. Later, they found out hitting two pieces of stones together could make a spark(火花). The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing(摩擦). They made a hole on a piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire. As years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire. About two centuries ago, people began to make matches. Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fires. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires. One of them is to use an electric fire starter. Of course an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches. But it is very useful not only in daily life but also in the production. 48. From the text we know that a spark can ________. A. fire wet leaves B. burn anything C. fire dry leaves D. keep fire burning 49. We can also get a fire by ________.

A. electric fire starters are widely used B. people haven’t used matches since they had electric fire starters C. today there are only two ways to make fires D. some forest fires happen by using matches 【答案】48. C 49. D 50. B 51. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了古代的人们经常利用闪电来取火，但那时必须让火一直燃烧，否则没有了雷电就没有了火源。后来人们学会了火石打火，钻木取火、聚焦取火等。后来又发明了火柴。当今世界最流行的就是电子打火。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The spark could fire dry leaves.”可知，火花可以点燃干枯的树叶，故选C。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They made a hole on a big piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.”可知，他们在一块大木头上打了一个洞，然后在洞里放了一根小棍子。他们一次又一次地转动棍子，几分钟后，他们生了火。故选D。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据“About two centuries ago, people began to make matches (火柴).”可知，人们使用火柴已有200多年的历史了，故选B。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires.

I wanted to show them around my beautiful hometown, but that meant I had to learn English.” However, born in a poor family, he had to return home to do farm work even though he got an offer (录用通知) from a tourism school. With an English textbook borrowed from a friend, Liu began to teach himself. “Practice makes perfect. Only when I repeat (重复) one sentence several times, can I remember it in mind.” Liu even made a mini book of spoken English where he wrote down many short conversations for different situations. After the outbreak of the COVID-19, Liu turned to Tik Tok to introduce his hometown in both Chinese and English. Some people mock Liu because of his pronunciation, but most of them show their understanding and support for him after hearing his story. “If you had been him, most of you might have given up.” “He is pretty good at self-learning!” “I do admire his willpower in helping develop his hometown.” Liu became famous almost overnight but he didn’t lose himself in the sudden fame. He continues improving himself, hoping that the audience can enjoy the beauty of his hometown in his videos. 52.

It describes people who have little ambition (抱负) and do the bare minimum (最小量) to get by (勉强应付). The idea of lying down has touched a chord (引起共鸣) with many young people. ②According to Global Times, burdens, including academic pressure, work stress and family relations, have driven many young people into a corner. They say they hate the “involution (内卷)”，joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than be caught in endless competitions. ③Interestingly, most of these youths, who claim to be big fans of the lying down, only accept lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some youths are not willing to bear (忍受) too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is far from comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel ashamed (惭愧的) about their loss of chances and confidence in achieving the dreams. That’s why many of them choose to go back to their normal life. ④“The ‘996’ working schedule and the high housing price forced me to give up the job in Shenzhen. But moving to Dali doesn’t seem that satisfactory. I can’t find a good job there and I’m running out of money,” a computer programmer told Global Times. “It’s no use running away. Now I’m considering returning to Shenzhen where I can get more chances and a better pay.” ⑤So instead of lying down, what can young people do under the great pressure from study, work, housing, or parenthood? The first thing is to question themselves: “________▲________” Big goals (目标) can be difficult for people to hold on to, while goals within their reach won’t give them that much pressure. ⑥Then young people can keep a daily record of all changes, no matter how small they seem, because these changes finally lead to the big ones that they long for. Seeing their efforts paying off will give them power to continue trying the best. ⑦The most important is not to compare with others. Young people should celebrate what is happening on their journey of life, and tell themselves “I don’t need to push myself so hard all the time”. Sometimes, it’s best to have a break before getting going again. 56. Global Times shows that ________ cause(s) the “lying down” lifestyle among young people. A. health problems B. the fear of making mistakes C. poor living conditions D. the pressure from work and life 57. We can infer (推断) from the passage that young people________. A. don’t like the involution at all B. really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle C. won’t truly give up achieving their dreams D. always keep running away challenges instead of facing them 58. Which of the following sentences can be put in the ___▲_____ A. Do I have proper (适合的) goals? B. Should I have much more goals? C. When should I set my goals? D. How can I achieve my goals? 59. What may be the best structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】56. D 57. C 58. A 59. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了“躺平”这个现象，解释了其原因，但是年轻人并不是真正地“躺平”，并给出了变好的建议。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据“According to Global Times, burdens, including academic pressure, work stress and family relations, have driven many young people into a corner.”可知，《环球时报》报道工作和生活的压力导致了年轻人“躺平”的生活方式。故选D。 【57题详解】 推理判断题。根据“But in fact, lying down is far from comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel ashamed (惭愧的) about their loss of chances and confidence in achieving the dreams. That’s why many of them choose to go back to their normal life.”可知，躺平的年轻人总是为自己失去实现梦想的机会和信心感到惭愧，他们会选择回归正常生活，故推出年轻人不会真正放弃自己的梦想。故选C。 【58题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Big goals (目标) can be difficult for people to hold on to, while goals within their reach won’t give them that much pressure.”可知，大的目标很难坚持，空处应建议人们有合适的目标，选项A“我有合适的目标吗？”符合语境。故选A。 【59题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，本文第一段提出话题——躺平；第二段讲述躺平的原因；第三段和第四段讲述了年轻人并不能真正地躺平；第五段、第六段和第七段给出了建议。故选C。 Ⅴ. 口语应用。 (每小题 1 分，共 5 分) 阅读下面对话，从文后7个选项中选择5个恰当的选项完成此对话。 A: Excuse me, sir.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要是一则A向B问去最近的电影院的路的对话。 【60题详解】 根据“I lost the way. Could you help me”以及“Yes, of course”可知此处是询问对方想去哪里，选项B“你要去哪里”符合语境。故选B。 【61题详解】 根据“It’s the best cinema in Shidai district.”以及“OK, thanks”可知此处是给对方指路，选项A“沿着这条街走，在第一个十字路口右转”符合语境。故选A。 【62题详解】 根据“It’s about a hundred meters”可知此处询问距离，选项E“它离这里有多远”符合语境。故选E。 【63题详解】 根据“Yes.

Nowadays, it has become a hot word in China. However, not everyone likes it. Interviewer-I Li Hua-L Dereck-D I: Will you make a plan before you have a city walk? L: No, never. We citywalkers enjoy the feeling of being surprised. And we just want to feel relaxed. Making a plan is not çool at all. I: Will you take pictures when you visit some famous spots? L: Famous spots? Those places are all about crowded streets and noisy children. Citywalkers actually care more about local culture and history and the communication with the locals. You can have a try. I am sure you will like it. City Walk, Fun Talk Meet at: Liziba subway station Time:19:00 Team size:20 No difficulty Activities: 1. Communicate only in English. Or you may use your body language. 2. Go straight on green light, turn right on red lights 3. Visit coffee shops or snack stores. 4. Admire the city with footsteps and camera. I:As a foreigner who lives in Shanghai for 13 years, what’s your opinion on city walks? D: I don’t understand the meaning of city walks. What are citywalkers doing? Just going outside and walking? In that case, I’ve been going on city walks for 36 years. I: Wow, that’s interesting, then you can be a city walk leader. D: No, I don’t want to do it. A city walk leader’s work is to take people for walks. And he very specifically said, “I will just take you on a walk without telling you anything”. Come on, we’re not dogs. I don’t need you to come and pick me up for a city walk. What a waste of time! 65. Did city walks start in China? ________________________________________________________ 66. What do citywalkers like Li Hua care more about? ________________________________________________________ 67. Why doesn’t Dereck like city walks? ________________________________________________________ 68. Would you like to join in “City Walk, Fun Talk”? Why or why not? ________________________________________________________ 【答案】65. No./No, it didn’t. 66. Local culture and history and the communication with the locals. 67. Because he doesn’t understand the meaning of city walks and he thinks city walks is a waste of time. 68. Yes, I’d love to. Because I can know more about a city in this way. (答案不唯一，言之有理即可得分) 【解析】 【导语】本文就城市步行这种活动对李华和Dereck进行了采访，他们对这种活动有相反的观点，采访中两人均提到了原因。文中还对“城市步行、有趣交谈”这个活动进行了相关介绍。 【65题详解】 根据第一段“City walks started in London.”可知，城市步行始于伦敦，不是中国，应作否定回答。故填No./No, it didn’t. 【66题详解】 根据“Citywalkers actually care more about local culture and history and the communication with the locals.”可知，像李华这样的城市步行者更关注当地的文化和历史，以及与当地人的交流，故填Local culture and history and the communication with the locals. 【67题详解】 根据“I don’t need you to come and pick me up for a city walk. What a waste of time!”可知，Dereck不喜欢城市步行是因为他不理解这个活动，认为是在浪费时间，故填Because he doesn’t understand the meaning of city walks and he thinks city walks is a waste of time. 【68题详解】 此题答案不唯一。通过城市步行可以更好的了解一个城市，所以可以参加这个活动。故填Yes, I’d love to. Because I can know more about a city in this way. Ⅶ. 完成句子 (每空 1 分，共 10 分) 69. There used to be a bookstore nearby. (改为否定句） There _________ __________ to be a bookstore nearby. 【答案】 ①. used/didn’t ②. not/use 【解析】 【详解】句意：以前附近有一家书店。题干要求改为否定句，‌‌used to的否定形式主要有两种表达方式：‌used not to和‌didn’t use to。‌故填used/didn’t；not/use。 70. He improved his pronunciation by listening to tapes.（对划线部分提问） _________ _________ he improve his pronunciation? 【答案】 ①. How ②. did 【解析】 【详解】句意：他通过听磁带来改善发音。划线部分表示方式方法，对此提问用疑问词how，原句时态是一般过去时，所以要借助助动词did构成疑问语序。故填How；did。 71. I don’t know what I can do to increase my reading speed. （改为同义句） I don’t know what _________ __________ to increase my reading speed. 【答案】 ①. to ②. do 【解析】 【详解】句意：我不知道怎样才能提高我的阅读速度。此句可用结构“疑问词+动词不定式”作宾语，根据上句可知空白处表示“做什么”，表达为what to do。故填to；do。 72. 直接请求别人帮助是没有礼貌的。（完成译句） It’s ________ to ________ for help directly. 【答案】 ①. impolite ②. ask 【解析】 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，空处缺少了“不礼貌”，英文表达为impolite，形容词作表语；ask for help“寻求帮助”，固定搭配，动词不定式结构to后面加动词原形。故填impolite；ask。 73. 他为自己儿子所做的一切好事感到自豪。（完成译句） He _________ _________ in everything good his son does. 【答案】 ①. takes ②. pride 【解析】 【详解】根据汉语意思可知，该空表达的意思是为……而骄傲，由空后“in”可知，应用短语take pride in，主语为第三人称单数，所以动词take变成第三人称单数形式takes。故填takes；pride。 VIII. 短文填空（每空 2 分, 共 16 分） 根据下面短文内容及部分首字母提示，在短文的空格处填上一个最恰当的词，使短文完整、通顺。 There was a rich man. One day, he ____74____ his friends to a party and they drank a lot of wine. At last there was only a pot（壶）of wine left. Who could get it? They thought of an idea and decided to have a match. The person who finished the drawing of a snake first could drink the wine, so they began drawing. One of them drew quickly. After he finished, he saw others were still busy drawing. He said, “How ____75____ you are! I am the ____76____ to finish the drawing. I still have enough time ____77____ draw something else.” He added feet to the snake. However, before he could finish the feet, ____78____ man also finished drawing. He ____79____ away the pot and said, “____80____ has ever seen a snake with feet? Snakes have no feet, so yours is not a snake. I am the winner. I will get the wine.” With the words, he went away. The man looked at his d ____81____ and regretted what he had done. 【答案】74. invited 75. slow 76. first 77. to 78. another 79. took 80. Who 81. (d)rawing 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇寓言故事。主要讲述了画蛇添足的故事。 【74题详解】 句意：有一天，他邀请了他的朋友们去聚会，然后他们喝很多酒。根据“...to a party and they drank a lot of wine.”可知，应该是这个富商邀请了他的朋友们去聚会喝酒，且此句为一般过去时。故填invited。 【75题详解】 句意：你们太慢了！根据上句“One of them drew quickly. After he finished, he saw others were still busy drawing.”可知，这个人绘画速度最快，所以他在嘲笑别人太慢了。故填slow。 【76题详解】 句意：我是第一个完成画作的人。根据上句“One of them drew quickly. After he finished, he saw others were still busy drawing.”可知，这个人是第一个完成绘画的人。故填first。 【77题详解】 句意：我仍然还有充足的时间来画点别的。根据上句“I still have enough time”可知，原因是“我仍然还有充足的时间”，所以还可以画点别的，故此空用不定式表结果状语。故填to。 【78题详解】 句意：然而，在他画完蛇脚之前，另一个人也完成了绘画。根据上文“he saw others...”可知，参加聚会人数大于3人，此空后“man”是单数形式，应该是指“另一个人”，填another“三者或三者以上中的另一个”。故填another。 【79题详解】 句意：他拿走了最后一壶酒并说道，“谁曾见过一条有脚的蛇？”根据上文“before he could finish the feet,...man also finished drawing.”可知，他现在是第一个完成绘画的人，所以他可以拿走这壶酒，take away“拿走，夺走”，注意使用一般过去时。故填took。 【80题详解】 句意：他拿走了最后一壶酒并说道，“谁曾见过一条有脚的蛇？”根据下文“Snakes have no feet, so yours is not a snake.”可知，事实上蛇是没脚的，所以他是发出反问进行质疑。故填Who。 【81题详解】 句意：这个人看着自己的绘画，很后悔他所添加的脚。根据全文内容可知，他们是在通过绘画来竞酒，此空用名词来作宾语。故填(d)rawing。 Ⅸ. 书面表达。（20分） 82. 我们处在不断变化的时代，重庆中考英语题型也有所变化（如：取消了单项选择题，增加了语法选择，也就是对学生阅读能力要求更高了）。你准备好如何应对了吗？请你根据以下要点和要求用英语写一篇短文。 要点： 1. 你对这些变化有何感受； （你觉得题变简单了还是更难了? 是高兴、难过、担忧……?） 2. 之前你是学习英语的； (你以前学习英语的方法有哪些？) 3. 你今后将如何调整。 （你以后打算如何学习英语来适应现在的变化？） 要求： 1. 80-120词。（开头已给出，不计入总词数） 2. 文中不得出现真实姓名和学校名称。 Some changes have taken place in the English exam this year. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Some changes have taken place in the English exam this year.

Over the last 5 years or so I have worked very hard at overcoming it. I started by making conversations with friends’ friends that I didn’t know. It did take a lot of effort (努力). Now I can talk to almost everyone. Yesterday Tina Answer 2: Yes, I was shy about two years ago. It took me about two years to overcome my shyness. Don’t worry. Find your confidence, and you’ll overcome your fear. 2 hours ago Anna Answer 3: I used to be shy in high school until I started serving in a restaurant. I found that really helpful.

B When I was wasting time, It slipped away like a bottle of wine. When I was waiting in the afterglow (余晖), Time let the starry night grow. When I saw autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place, I knew the first fall of snow was coming to this age. But how do you use that time? Do you really have a mind? These doubts double cross my mind. And finally I realize. It’s just because time knows best! And only time knows best! 44. The material (材料) above is probably _________.

According to the writer, only ________ knows best about the writer’s doubts. A. time B. his friends C. himself D. his parents C Long long ago people made the first lightening (闪电). But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldn’t start it again if there was no lighting. Later, they found out hitting two pieces of stones together could make a spark(火花). The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing(摩擦). They made a hole on a piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire. As years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire. About two centuries ago, people began to make matches. Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fires. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires. One of them is to use an electric fire starter. Of course an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches. But it is very useful not only in daily life but also in the production. 48. From the text we know that a spark can ________.

Liu Tao, a middle-aged farmer from Yangshuo, Guilin, loves English and nicknames himself “Teacher Liu” on short video platforms. “In the 1980s, many international friends came to visit Yangshuo,” Liu said. “Ever since then, I have dreamed of being an English tour guide. I wanted to show them around my beautiful hometown, but that meant I had to learn English.” However, born in a poor family, he had to return home to do farm work even though he got an offer (录用通知) from a tourism school. With an English textbook borrowed from a friend, Liu began to teach himself. “Practice makes perfect. Only when I repeat (重复) one sentence several times, can I remember it in mind.” Liu even made a mini book of spoken English where he wrote down many short conversations for different situations. After the outbreak of the COVID-19, Liu turned to Tik Tok to introduce his hometown in both Chinese and English. Some people mock Liu because of his pronunciation, but most of them show their understanding and support for him after hearing his story. “If you had been him, most of you might have given up.” “He is pretty good at self-learning!” “I do admire his willpower in helping develop his hometown.” Liu became famous almost overnight but he didn’t lose himself in the sudden fame. He continues improving himself, hoping that the audience can enjoy the beauty of his hometown in his videos. 52.

A Beautiful City—Guilin B. An Unusual Internet Star—Teacher Liu C. An Excellent English Teacher—Liu Tao D. A Popular Song—Row Row Row Your Boat E ①Recently a buzzword (流行语)-lie down, or tang ping, has drawn public attention. It describes people who have little ambition (抱负) and do the bare minimum (最小量) to get by (勉强应付). The idea of lying down has touched a chord (引起共鸣) with many young people. ②According to Global Times, burdens, including academic pressure, work stress and family relations, have driven many young people into a corner. They say they hate the “involution (内卷)”，joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than be caught in endless competitions. ③Interestingly, most of these youths, who claim to be big fans of the lying down, only accept lying down as a short rest. It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions, some youths are not willing to bear (忍受) too much hard work. But in fact, lying down is far from comfortable. Young people who lie down always feel ashamed (惭愧的) about their loss of chances and confidence in achieving the dreams. That’s why many of them choose to go back to their normal life. ④“The ‘996’ working schedule and the high housing price forced me to give up the job in Shenzhen. But moving to Dali doesn’t seem that satisfactory. I can’t find a good job there and I’m running out of money,” a computer programmer told Global Times. “It’s no use running away. Now I’m considering returning to Shenzhen where I can get more chances and a better pay.” ⑤So instead of lying down, what can young people do under the great pressure from study, work, housing, or parenthood? The first thing is to question themselves: “________▲________” Big goals (目标) can be difficult for people to hold on to, while goals within their reach won’t give them that much pressure. ⑥Then young people can keep a daily record of all changes, no matter how small they seem, because these changes finally lead to the big ones that they long for. Seeing their efforts paying off will give them power to continue trying the best. ⑦The most important is not to compare with others. Young people should celebrate what is happening on their journey of life, and tell themselves “I don’t need to push myself so hard all the time”. Sometimes, it’s best to have a break before getting going again. 56. Global Times shows that ________ cause(s) the “lying down” lifestyle among young people. A. health problems B. the fear of making mistakes C. poor living conditions D. the pressure from work and life 57. We can infer (推断) from the passage that young people________. A. don’t like the involution at all B. really enjoy the “lying down” lifestyle C. won’t truly give up achieving their dreams D. always keep running away challenges instead of facing them 58.
