Reading comprehension(阅读理解)(共50分) A. Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案)(12分) The Zhongyuan Festival, also known as Ullambana Festival among Buddhists (佛教徒), falls on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, on Aug 12 this year. Since ancient times, the Chinese have believed that the gates of hell open on that day and so people hold many activities to honor the ghosts. Therefore, the festival is also called the Ghost Festival. There are two other festivals in China to honor gone family members: Qingming Festival and the Double Ninth Festival. In both, living young people pay respect to their dead ancestors. Zhongyuan Festival is different from these, because the dead are believed to visit the living. Buddhists believe that by offering things on that day, dead parents and relatives can be saved from bad situations in the after life. The Ullambana Festival of Buddhism has two meanings. One is to ask people to provide for Buddhist monks (僧侣). The other is to encourage people to do more good deeds to release gone family members from fault and support family love and care. The Ullambana Festival is related to the legend of Mulian Saves His Mother. It is said that after going through hardships in the lower world, Mulian finally saw his mother, only to find her being punished by hungry ghosts. Mulian wanted to send his mother rice and dishes, but the food was taken by the hungry ghosts. Mulian had to ask Buddha for help. Moved by his deep love for mother, Buddha told him to take part in an Ullambana Fast on July 15 of the lunar calendar (历法). On that day, food of many kinds and five fruits—peaches, plums, apricots, chestnuts and dates—should be provided to all Buddhist monks. Under the instruction, Mulian filled the Ullambana bowl with fruits and vegetarian food to his mother on July 15. His hungry mother finally got the food. To show his thanks to the Buddha, Mulian held a giving activity every year to release the hungry ghosts from the disaster of being hanged by their feet. Then the day has become a festival to honor departed ancestors, relatives and friends. 39. Which of the following is NOT the name of the festival talked about in this passage? A. Zhongyuan Festival B. Qingming Festival C. Ullambana Festival D. Ghost Festival 40. The underlined word “ancestors” in the third paragraph probably means “________”. A. the dead family members and friends B. the living old people in family C. hungry ghosts in the hell D. people in your family who lived a long time ago 41. Which of the following statements is NOT true about Ullambana Festival? A. People are encouraged to provide for Buddhist monks. B. People believe that if one behaves well and is always helpful to others, his dead family members will be released from disaster. C. This festival falls on Aug 12 every year. D. There is a Mulian’s story about the beginning of the festival. 42. On Zhongyuan Festival, five fruits are provided except ________. A. pears B. apricots C. plums D. dates 43. What did Mulian do to thank Buddha? A. He filled the Ullambana bowl with fruits and vegetarian food to Buddha. B. He took part in an Ullambana Fast on July 15 of the lunar calendar. C. He released the hungry ghosts from disaster. D. He held a giving activity on July 15 of the lunar calendar every year. 44. You may find the passage in a(n) ________ section. A. story B. travel C. culture D. history 【答案】39. B 40. D 41. C 42. A 43. D 44. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中元节（盂兰盆节）的起源、习俗及其与佛教的关系，并对比了其他祭祖节日。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Zhongyuan Festival, also known as Ullambana Festival…”以及“Therefore, the festival is also called the Ghost Festival.”可知，中元节有Zhongyuan Festival、Ullambana Festival、Ghost Festival三个名称。故选B。 【40题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“There are two other festivals in China to honor gone family members”以及“In both, living young people pay respect to their dead ancestors. Zhongyuan Festival is different from these, because the dead are believed to visit the living.”可知，此处指家族中已故的先人，所以划线部分的含义是“家族中很久以前生活的人”。故选D。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The Zhongyuan Festival, also known as Ullambana Festival among Buddhists (佛教徒), falls on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, on Aug 12 this year.”可知，中元节是每年农历七月十五，公历日期不固定，所以C项错误。故选C。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“five fruits—peaches, plums, apricots, chestnuts and dates”可知，列举的五种水果中没有梨。故选A。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据“To show his thanks to the Buddha, Mulian held a giving activity every year to release the hungry ghosts from the disaster of being hanged by their feet.”可知，目连每年举办法会感谢佛。故选D。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了中元节（盂兰盆节）的起源、习俗及其与佛教的关系，并对比了其他祭祖节日，属于文化范畴。故选C。 B.

The Romans left us ____46____, including some common English words. During the Roman Empire, Latin, an ancient language, was ____47____ in many parts of Britain. Although the Romans wrote in traditional Latin, they have conversations in impolite Latin—spoken, everyday language that was used between soldiers and in business. Because of business, words that are kept often relate to food and drink, such as “wine”, which came from the Latin“vinum”. Others relate to houses such as “kitchen”, came from the verb “cook”, and “wall”, which at first meant a stake or post outside a fort. Settlements and roads in Roman times were large. The word “street”, used generally and being used for specific names of streets, at first came from “strata” which meant paved road. On a ____48____ note, research from the field of language shows many well-known place names in the UK have their Latin start. ____49____, the Romans used “castrum” to refer to a city, which developed into the common place ending -chester, -caster or -cester. Consider Manchester. It is an earlier Roman fort which was known as Mamuciam. Other places with Roman start include Lancaster and Leicester. A strong influence on English which came from the Romans is the use of the Roman letters. Manuscripts of Old English texts have shown a form unalike ____50____ English today. Differences include some letters, such as two symbols called “ash”and “eth”. Nowadays you are more likely to see these symbols in a guide to pronunciation.

Meals in that dining room were a time for three generations. The table was always spread with delicious food. And that clock stood like an old family friend, watching over the laughter and stories. As a child, the old clock attracted me. I watched and listened to it during meals, amazed at how at different times, that clock would ring three times, six times or more. Year after year, the clock chimed, a part of my memories and my heart. Even more wonderful to me was my grandfather’s regular practice. He would wind that clock with a special key each day. That key was magic to me. It kept the clock ticking and chiming. I remember watching my grandfather take the key and open the hidden door in the old clock. He put the key into the clock and wound. He never let that clock wind down and stop. When we grandkids got a little older, he showed us how to open the door and let us each take a turn winding the key. After my beloved grandfather died, it was several days after the funeral before I remembered the clock! The tears flowed freely when I entered the dining room. The clock stood there but seemed smaller. It was not so attractive without my grandfather’s touch. Years later, my grandmother gave me the clock and the key. The old house was quiet, no laughter over the dinner table, no ticking of the clock. The hands on the clock were frozen, stopped at the moment when my grandfather had stopped winding it. I took the key and opened the clock door. All of a sudden, I was a child again, watching my grandfather with his silver-white hair and twinkling blue eyes. He was there, winking at me, at the secret of the clock’s magic, at the key that held so much power. Then I slowly inserted the key and wound the clock. It sprang to life. Tick-tock, tick-tock, life and chimes were breathed into the dining room, into the house and into my heart. In the movement of the hands of the clock, my grandfather lived again. 58. Why was I attracted by the big clock? ________________ 59. The big clock stood in the dining room of my grandfather’s house, didn’t it? ________________ 60. How did grandfather make the clock work? ________________ 61. Why was the old house so quiet years later? ________________ 62. What does the underlined word “frozen” mean? ________________ 63. How do you understand the sentence “It sprang to life”? ________________ 【答案】58. Because I was amazed at how at different times, that clock would ring three times, six times or more. 59. Yes, it did. 60. He would put a key into the clock and wound. 61. Because the author’s grandfather had gone and there was no meal for three generations. Besides, the clock had stopped working. 62. It means “stopped”. 63. The clock began to work again. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者对祖父家一个大钟的回忆，以及这个钟如何成为家庭生活的一部分，并在祖父去世后重新启动，唤起作者对祖父的怀念的。 【58题详解】 根据“As a child, the old clock attracted me. I watched and listened to it during meals, amazed at how at different times, that clock would ring three times, six times or more.”可知，作者被钟吸引是因为作者很惊讶，在不同的时间，那个钟会响三次，六次或更多。故填Because I was amazed at how at different times, that clock would ring three times, six times or more. 【59题详解】 根据“In my grandfather’s house stood a big clock. Meals in that dining room were a time for three generations. The table was always spread with delicious food. And that clock stood like an old family friend, watching over the laughter and stories.”可知，大钟确实放在祖父家的餐厅里。故填Yes, it did. 【60题详解】 根据“He would wind that clock with a special key each day.”和“I remember watching my grandfather take the key and open the hidden door in the old clock. He put the key into the clock and wound.”可知，祖父每天把钥匙插进钟里上发条。故填He would put a key into the clock and wound. 61题详解】 根据“After my beloved grandfather died, it was several days after the funeral before I remembered the clock!”和“Meals in that dining room were a time for three generations.”以及“The old house was quiet, no laughter over the dinner table, no ticking of the clock.”可知，祖父去世后，没人给钟上发条，钟停了，也没有人在餐厅吃饭，所以房子很安静。故填Because the author’s grandfather had gone and there was no meal for three generations. Besides, the clock had stopped working. 【62题详解】 根据“stopped at the moment when my grandfather had stopped winding it.”可知，此处指钟上的指针不动了。“frozen”在此处指钟的指针“停止不动”。故填It means “stopped”. 【63题详解】 根据“It sprang to life. Tick-tock, tick-tock, life and chimes were breathed into the dining room, into the house and into my heart.”可知，钟突然重新运转，仿佛恢复了生命，并唤起了作者对祖父的回忆。故填The clock began to work again. VⅡ.Writing(作文)(共20分) 64.

Many people regard it as a waste of time. But I hold a different idea that star-worshiping can bring us something positive. Teenagers may just admire their idols for their handsome or beautiful appearances. But more attention should be paid to how hard-working they were in their road to success. Everyone tries his or her best to “Build Rome”, however, Rome wasn’t built in a day. Most of them will just give up when they have some setbacks, few will choose to fight on and fewer can make it to the top. In general, when we are frustrated, we can follow our idols’ examples to fight with those difficulties. We’d better make our hearts full of courage instead of fear. 【解析】 【详解】[总体分析] ①题材：本文是一篇话题作文； ②时态：一般现在时为主； ③提示：写作要点已给出，考生注意不要遗漏要点，并适当添加细节，突出重点。 [写作步骤] 第一步，介绍“追星”现象； 第二步，分享感想。 [亮点词汇] ①regard it as把它视为 ②tries one’s best to尽某人最大努力去 ③give up放弃 [高分句型] ①But I hold a different idea that star-worshiping can bring us something positive.（定语从句） ②Most of them will just give up when they have some setbacks, few will choose to fight on and fewer can make it to the top.（时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 中考英语模拟试卷(十一) (满分140分，考试时间90分钟) Part 1 Listening (第一部分听力) I.

Part 3 Reading and Writing (第三部分 读 写 ) VI. Reading comprehension(阅读理解)(共50分) A. Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案)(12分) The Zhongyuan Festival, also known as Ullambana Festival among Buddhists (佛教徒), falls on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, on Aug 12 this year. Since ancient times, the Chinese have believed that the gates of hell open on that day and so people hold many activities to honor the ghosts. Therefore, the festival is also called the Ghost Festival. There are two other festivals in China to honor gone family members: Qingming Festival and the Double Ninth Festival. In both, living young people pay respect to their dead ancestors. Zhongyuan Festival is different from these, because the dead are believed to visit the living. Buddhists believe that by offering things on that day, dead parents and relatives can be saved from bad situations in the after life. The Ullambana Festival of Buddhism has two meanings. One is to ask people to provide for Buddhist monks (僧侣). The other is to encourage people to do more good deeds to release gone family members from fault and support family love and care. The Ullambana Festival is related to the legend of Mulian Saves His Mother. It is said that after going through hardships in the lower world Mulian finally saw his mother, only to find her being punished by hungry ghosts. Mulian wanted to send his mother rice and dishes, but the food was taken by the hungry ghosts. Mulian had to ask Buddha for help. Moved by his deep love for mother, Buddha told him to take part in an Ullambana Fast on July 15 of the lunar calendar (历法). On that day, food of many kinds and five fruits—peaches, plums, apricots, chestnuts and dates—should be provided to all Buddhist monks. Under the instruction, Mulian filled the Ullambana bowl with fruits and vegetarian food to his mother on July 15. His hungry mother finally got the food. To show his thanks to the Buddha, Mulian held a giving activity every year to release the hungry ghosts from the disaster of being hanged by their feet. Then the day has become a festival to honor departed ancestors, relatives and friends. 39. Which of the following is NOT the name of the festival talked about in this passage? A. Zhongyuan Festival B. Qingming Festival C. Ullambana Festival D. Ghost Festival 40. The underlined word “ancestors” in the third paragraph probably means “________”. A. the dead family members and friends B. the living old people in family C. hungry ghosts in the hell D. people in your family who lived a long time ago 41. Which of the following statements is NOT true about Ullambana Festival? A. People are encouraged to provide for Buddhist monks. B. People believe that if one behaves well and is always helpful to others, his dead family members will be released from disaster. C. This festival falls on Aug 12 every year. D. There is a Mulian’s story about the beginning of the festival. 42. On Zhongyuan Festival, five fruits are provided except ________. A. pears B. apricots C. plums D. dates 43. What did Mulian do to thank Buddha? A. He filled the Ullambana bowl with fruits and vegetarian food to Buddha. B. He took part in an Ullambana Fast on July 15 of the lunar calendar. C. He released the hungry ghosts from disaster. D. He held a giving activity on July 15 of the lunar calendar every year. 44. You may find the passage in a(n) ________ section. A. story B. travel C. culture D. history B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage(选择最恰当的单词或词 组完成短文)(12分) The Romans lived in Britain between 43 AD and 410 AD ____45____ their influence is still felt today and not just in physical ruins. The Romans left us ____46____, including some common English words. During the Roman Empire, Latin, an ancient language, was ____47____ in many parts of Britain. Although the Romans wrote in traditional Latin, they have conversations in impolite Latin—spoken, everyday language that was used between soldiers and in business. Because of business, words that are kept often relate to food and drink, such as “wine”, which came from the Latin“vinum”. Others relate to houses such as “kitchen”, came from the verb “cook”, and “wall”, which at first meant a stake or post outside a fort. Settlements and roads in Roman times were large. The word “street”, used generally and being used for specific names of streets, at first came from “strata” which meant paved road. On a ____48____ note, research from the field of language shows many well-known place names in the UK have their Latin start. ____49____, the Romans used “castrum” to refer to a city, which developed into the common place ending -chester, -caster or -cester. Consider Manchester. It is an earlier Roman fort which was known as Mamuciam. Other places with Roman start include Lancaster and Leicester. A strong influence on English which came from the Romans is the use of the Roman letters. Manuscripts of Old English texts have shown a form unalike ____50____ English today. Differences include some letters, such as two symbols called “ash”and “eth”. Nowadays you are more likely to see these symbols in a guide to pronunciation. So, even though 1,600 years have passed, the Romans live on. 45. A. until B. when C. so D. but 46. A. language B. money C. cities D. culture 47. A. said B. spoken C. told D. speak 48.
