We did a survey on how the students spend their monthly pocket money. Here is the result. According to the survey, 20% of the students spend their monthly pocket money on study, and they often buy useful books and magazines to help their study. 30% spend their money on games and cartoons. They usually play computer games or watch cartoon movies. 50% of the students spend their monthly pocket money on snacks and drinks. In my opinion, it is important for students to use our pocket money wisely. We shouldn’t spend much money on games and cartoons. Games and cartoons are bad for our eyes. As for snacks and drinks, they are not healthy. We should keep away from them. We can spend some money buying some fruits. It’s a good idea to spend money on books and magazines. Reading can improve ourselves. In all, we should develop a habit to save money. We can write down a daily-cost. What’s more, we can put the rest of our pocket money in the bank and watch it grow. 1 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年中考第一次模拟考试（上海专用） 英语·全解全析 Part 1 Grammar and Vocabulary (第一部分 语法和词汇) I.

When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects the parts of our brain that make us feel good. Then the good feeling 45 , leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect. In this way, it is in fact an addictive drug, one that doctors recommend we all cut down on. “It seems like every time I 46 an illness and trace (追踪) a path to the first cause, I find my way back to sugar,” says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 346 million have diabetes (糖尿病). Why? “Sugar, we believe, is one of the factors, if not the major factors,” says Johnson. Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very efficient (有效率的) in storing sugar as fat. In this way, we had 47 stored for when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. So the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us. So what is the 48 ? It’s obvious that we need to eat less sugar. The trouble is, in today’s world, it’s extremely difficult to avoid. From breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it. Some manufacturers (制造商) even use sugar to replace taste in foods. However, they are advertised as 49 in fat. So while the foods seem healthier, large amounts of sugar are often added.

Fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给)(14分) The Answer Is In the Trees Dave Meko, a scientist at the University of Arizona, noticed that from 1999 to the following years it became drier and drier. And water levels in the huge Colorado River were dropping rapidly. This was the b 51 of a serious drought (干旱). Everyone began asking, “How long will it last?” Meko believed that he could find the answer in the trees. Meko is a tree-ring expert. He studies the rings within a tree to find information about climate change. Each year, a tree adds a new layer of wood. These layers look like a series of rings. During times of h 52 rainfall, a ring is wide. When there is a shortage of water, a ring is narrow. These rings are nature’s record of rainfall and climate change. Meko and his team quickly started a new research project. Their goal was to find out how long previous droughts lasted. The team collected as many old wood samples as possible. They tested wood samples from 1,200 years ago until the p 53 . When they examined the rings, the news about rainfall in the past was not good. Meko’s research showed that, the 20th century was an unusually wet time. Trees from this period had wide, healthy rings. Rain was plentiful d 54 that century, millions of people moved to the region. Before that time, however, the rings showed that droughts occurred on a regular basis. In fact, drought was part of the usual climate pattern. There were severe droughts in the 900s, the 1100s, and the late 1200s. Human history seems to s 55 Meko’s findings. The native Anasazi lived in this area for hundreds of years, starting around 500 AD．They were farmers and depended on water to grow their crops. However, at the end of the 13th century, the Anasazi s 56 left the area. Experts do not know exactly why the Anasazi left. They think it was because there was no longer enough water to farm. And Meko’s tree rings clearly show a serious drought at that time. How long will the current drought last? Using nature’s c 57 from the past, experts predict that this drought may continue for another 50 years. 【答案】51．(b)eginning 52．(h)eavy 53．(p)resent 54．(d)uring 55．(s)upport 56．(s)uddenly 57．(c)lues 【文章大意】本文主要讲述了树的年轮和气候的关系。 51．句意：这是一场严重干旱的开始。根据“Everyone began asking, ‘How long will it last?’ Meko believed that he could find the answer in the trees.”可知，这是干旱的开始。beginning“开始”，名词。故填(b)eginning。 52．句意：在强降雨的时候，环是宽的。根据“When there is a shortage of water, a ring is narrow.”可知，此处与雨水少相反，表示雨水多。heavy rainfall“强降雨”。故填(h)eavy。 53．句意：他们测试了1200年前到现在的木材样本。根据“from 1,200 years ago”可知，测试了1200年前到现在的木材样本。present“现在，目前”。故填(p)resent。 54．句意：在那个世纪，雨水充足，数百万人迁移到这个地区。结合句意和首字母可知，那个世纪雨水是充足的。during“在……期间”。故填(d)uring。 55．句意：人类历史似乎支持Meko的发现。根据“The native Anasazi lived in this area for hundreds of years, starting around 500 AD. They were farmers and depended on water to grow their crops.”可知，历史与Meko的发现是一致的，因此人类历史支持Meko的发现。support“支持，赞同”，不定式符号to后接动词原形。故填(s)upport。 56．句意：然而，在13世纪末，阿纳齐族人忽然离开了这个区域。根据“Experts do not know exactly why the Anasazi left.”可知，他们是忽然离开的。suddenly“忽然”。故填(s)uddenly。 57．句意：利用大自然过去的迹象，专家预测这种干旱可能还会持续50年。根据“experts predict...”可知，是根据过去自然界的迹象所提供的线索，预测干旱可能还会持续50年。clue“迹象，线索”，此处用复数。故填(c)lues。 D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) (12 分) About 30, 000 people are running today in the world’s oldest annual marathon. Four figures have found their own special kinds of victory along those 42.2 kilometers in Boston. “Dad, when we’re running, my disability seems to disappear. ” Rick Hoyt was born unable to use his voice, arms or legs. Doctors advised his parents to send him away, but they chose to raise Rick themselves. One day Rick said he wanted to run in a race to raise money to help support a wounded schoolmate. So his father, Dick Hoyt, started pushing Rick in a specially-built wheelchair in races. Together they completed 32 Boston Marathons. A statue of “Team Hoyt” now stands near the marathon’s starting line. In 2021, Dick Hoyt died. Speaking through his computer, Rick said, “He was my motor; I was his heart ” “Women aren’t allowed and …are not physiologically able. ” Bobbi Gibb loved running in 1966 when she applied for the Boston Marathon. But the response was a refusal letter that said women weren’t able to run marathons! At first, Bobbi had wanted to run for fun. But in the face of such sexist ignorance, she had something to prove. Determined to run the race, Bobbi hid in some bushes, wearing her brother’s shorts and a hoodie. After the marathon began, she sneaked (潜行) onto the course and finished faster than two-thirds of the men. “I’m going to finish this race—on my hands and knees, if I have to. ” One year later, Kathrine Switzer entered for the race with her initials (姓名的首字母) to hide her gender (性别). During the marathon, an angry official stopped her and tried to tear (撕下) her racing numbers off her front and back! Kathrine was frightened but made up her mind to continue her race. When some reporters laughed at her and said she was never going to run again, she said she was going to run for the rest of her life! Switzer did finish the race becoming the first woman to complete the Boston Marathon. Five years later, the Boston Marathon finally allowed women. Today 45 percent of the runners are women. Dick and Rick, Bobbi and Kathrine are often called “trailblazers (开拓者). ” But another word might be better: champions (冠军). 58．How many people have found their own special kinds of victory in Boston Marathons? 59．How did Dick Hoyt help his disabled son complete 32 Boston Marathons? 60．What did Bobbi Gibb want to prove when she received the rejection letter? 61．Did Kathrine Switzer give up the race after she was stopped by an angry official? 62．When did the Boston Marathon finally allow women? 63．Why do people call Dick and Rock, Bobbi and Kathrine “trailblazers”? 【答案】 58．4. / Four. 59．By pushing Rick in a specially-built wheelchair in races. 60．Women were able to run marathons. 61．No, she didn’t. 62．Five years later. 63．Because they have found their own special kinds of victory along those 42.2 kilometers in Boston.（开放性问题，答案言之有理即可。） 【文章大意】本文主要讲了四位马拉松选手在马拉松比赛做出的贡献。 58．根据“Four figures have found their own special kinds of victory along those 42. 2 kilometers in Boston.”可知，有四位选手取得了自己特殊的胜利。故填4. / Four. 59．根据“So his father, Dick Hoyt, started pushing Rick in a specially-built wheelchair in races. Together they completed 32 Boston Marathons.”可知，瑞克的父亲推着瑞克坐在特制的轮椅上参加比赛。故填By pushing Rick in a specially-built wheelchair in races. 60．根据“But the response was a refusal letter that said women weren’t able to run marathons!…she had something to prove.”可知，她想要证明女人能跑马拉松。故填Women were able to run marathons. 61．根据“Kathrine was frightened but made up her mind to continue her race.”可知，凯瑟琳很害怕，但还是决定继续比赛。故填No, she didn’t. 62．根据“Five years later, the Boston Marathon finally allowed women.”可知，五年后，波士顿马拉松终于允许女性参加。故填Five years later. 63．开放性问题，答案言之有理即可。参考答案：Because they have found their own special kinds of victory along those 42.2 kilometers in Boston.

We did a survey on how the students spend their monthly pocket money. Here is the result. According to the survey, 20% of the students spend their monthly pocket money on study, and they often buy useful books and magazines to help their study. 30% spend their money on games and cartoons. They usually play computer games or watch cartoon movies. 50% of the students spend their monthly pocket money on snacks and drinks. In my opinion, it is important for students to use our pocket money wisely. We shouldn’t spend much money on games and cartoons. Games and cartoons are bad for our eyes. As for snacks and drinks, they are not healthy. We should keep away from them. We can spend some money buying some fruits. It’s a good idea to spend money on books and magazines.

When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects the parts of our brain that make us feel good. Then the good feeling 45 , leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect. In this way, it is in fact an addictive drug, one that doctors recommend we all cut down on. “It seems like every time I 46 an illness and trace (追踪) a path to the first cause, I find my way back to sugar,” says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 346 million have diabetes (糖尿病). Why? “Sugar, we believe, is one of the factors, if not the major factors,” says Johnson. Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very efficient (有效率的) in storing sugar as fat. In this way, we had 47 stored for when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. So the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us. So what is the 48 ? It’s obvious that we need to eat less sugar. The trouble is, in today’s world, it’s extremely difficult to avoid. From breakfast cereals to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it. Some manufacturers (制造商) even use sugar to replace taste in foods. However, they are advertised as 49 in fat. So while the foods seem healthier, large amounts of sugar are often added. But some people are fighting against sugar and trying to create a healthier environment. Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier options, like fruit. Other schools are trying to encourage exercise by building facilities like walking tracks 50 students and others in the community can exercise.

A statue of “Team Hoyt” now stands near the marathon’s starting line. In 2021, Dick Hoyt died. Speaking through his computer, Rick said, “He was my motor; I was his heart ” “Women aren’t allowed and …are not physiologically able. ” Bobbi Gibb loved running in 1966 when she applied for the Boston Marathon. But the response was a refusal letter that said women weren’t able to run marathons! At first, Bobbi had wanted to run for fun. But in the face of such sexist ignorance, she had something to prove. Determined to run the race, Bobbi hid in some bushes, wearing her brother’s shorts and a hoodie. After the marathon began, she sneaked (潜行) onto the course and finished faster than two-thirds of the men. “I’m going to finish this race—on my hands and knees, if I have to. ” One year later, Kathrine Switzer entered for the race with her initials (姓名的首字母) to hide her gender (性别). During the marathon, an angry official stopped her and tried to tear (撕下) her racing numbers off her front and back! Kathrine was frightened but made up her mind to continue her race. When some reporters laughed at her and said she was never going to run again, she said she was going to run for the rest of her life! Switzer did finish the race becoming the first woman to complete the Boston Marathon. Five years later, the Boston Marathon finally allowed women. Today 45 percent of the runners are women. Dick and Rick, Bobbi and Kathrine are often called “trailblazers (开拓者). ” But another word might be better: champions (冠军). 58．How many people have found their own special kinds of victory in Boston Marathons? 59．How did Dick Hoyt help his disabled son complete 32 Boston Marathons? 60．What did Bobbi Gibb want to prove when she received the rejection letter? 61．Did Kathrine Switzer give up the race after she was stopped by an angry official? 62．When did the Boston Marathon finally allow women? 63．Why do people call Dick and Rock, Bobbi and Kathrine “trailblazers”?
