2026年中考第一次模拟考试英语试题
一、基础知识(共10分)
Ⅰ. 单项选择。(10分)
从每小题所给的四个选项中,选出一个最佳答案。
1. —What’s the matter with you?
—I caught ________ bad cold and had to stay in bed.
A. a B. an C. the D. /
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你怎么了?——我得了重感冒,不得不卧床休息。
考查冠词的用法。根据“I caught ... bad cold and had to stay in bed.”可知,catch a cold“患感冒”,catch a bad cold“得重感冒”。故选A。
2. There ________ some juice and apples in the fridge.
A. was B. were C. is D. are
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:冰箱里有一些果汁和苹果。
在“there be”句型中,be动词的选择遵循“就近原则”,即与离它最近的主语在数上保持一致。在本句中时态为一般现在时,离be动词最近的主语是“some juice”,juice为不可数名词,视为单数,所以be动词用单数形式“is”。
3. —What do you think of the 4D film Spider-Man?
—________ interesting ________ exciting. Come to watch it and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.
A. Not only; but also B. Neither; nor C. Either; or D. Whether; or
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你觉得4D电影《蜘蛛侠》怎么样?——不仅有趣而且令人兴奋。来看吧,我相信你会喜欢的。
Not only;but also不仅……而且……(表递进);Neither;nor既不…… 也不……(表否定);Either;or要么……要么……(表选择);Whether;or无论……还是……(表让步或条件)。根据答语后句“Come to watch it and I'm sure you’ll enjoy it.”可知,说话者对电影持肯定态度并推荐对方观看,因此空缺处应填入表示递进或并列肯定关系的连词。Not only...but also...符合语境中两个褒义形容词interesting和exciting并存的情况。
4. If you take the guitar lesson next month, so ________ I.
A. will B. do C. am D. did
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:如果你下个月上吉他课,那么我也上。
在含有if引导的条件状语从句的复合句中,如果主句和从句的动作都要发生在将来,主句用一般将来时,从句用一般现在时表将来,本题中if引导的从句“If you take the guitar lesson next month”用的是一般现在时,所以主句要用一般将来时,一般将来时的结构是“will + 动词原形”,这里表示“我也将上吉他课”用“so will I” ,应填will。
5. —What were you and the teacher talking about?
—He wondered ________.
A. why was I late again B. what I have done
C. how could I know the answer D. where I would visit this summer
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:-你和老师在谈论什么?-他想知道今年暑假我要去参观哪儿。A. why was I late again我为什么又迟到了。宾语从句要用陈述句语序。错;B. what I have done 我干了什么。宾语从句的主句谓语是一般过去时态时,宾语从句要用相应的过去时态。错;C. how could I know the answer我怎样知道答案的。宾语从句要用陈述句语序。错;D. where I would visit this summer今天暑假我要参观哪儿。故选D。
点睛:特殊疑问句变为宾语从句时,用原疑问词作引导词;宾语从句用陈述句语序;主句谓语是一般现在时态时,宾语从句时态不变;主句谓语是一般过去时态时,宾语从句要用成相应的过去时态。
6. —What do you think of this picture?
—It reminds me of the days________ I spend in the countryside.
A. which B. who C. what D. where
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你觉得这张照片怎么样?——它让我想起了我在乡下度过的日子。
考查定语从句的关系词。which关系代词,指代物,在定语从句中作主语或宾语;who关系代词,指代人,在定语从句中作主语或宾语;what不能引导定语从句;where关系副词,指代地点,在定语从句中作地点状语。根据句子结构,可知本句为定语从句,先行词为“the days”,指物,且关系词在定语从句“I spend in the countryside”中作“spend”的宾语,所以应该用关系代词which,故选A。
7. Our teacher is very friendly to us. She is ________ of all the persons I know.
A. patient B. less patient C. more patient D. the most patient
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们的老师对我们很友好。她是我认识的所有人中最有耐心的。
patient耐心的(原级);less patient较少耐心的(比较级否定);more patient更有耐心的(比较级);the most patient最有耐心的(最高级)。根据句中“of all the persons I know”可知,比较范围是三者及以上,应用其最高级the most patient。
8. I met my primary school student when I was travelling in America. ________ nice surprise!
A. What a B. How a C. What D. How
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:我在美国旅行时遇到了我的小学生。真是一个惊喜啊!
中心词“surprise”是可数名词单数,应用What引导感叹句,结构为“What+a/an+形容词+名词单数!”;“nice”以辅音音素开头,不定冠词用a。How引导感叹句修饰形容词或副词。
9. ________ me to buy something to drink when we go to the supermarket.
A. Reminding B. To remind C. Reminds D. Remind
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们去超市时提醒我买点喝的。
考查祈使句。主句是祈使句,以动词原形开头。故选D。
10. —Daddy, can I have a pet?
—________ Our house is too small.
A. Why not? B. I hope so. C. I’m afraid not. D. Anything else?
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——爸爸,我能养一只宠物吗?——恐怕不行。我们的房子太小了。
Why not?为什么不呢?I hope so.我希望如此。I’m afraid not.恐怕不行。Anything else?还有别的吗?根据“Our house is too small.”可知,房子太小,所以不能养宠物,因此“恐怕不行”符合语境,应填I’m afraid not。

From age eight to eleven, I studied at a small school in Bath, England. It was a small school of four classes, with about twenty-five children in each class according to age. For the most part, one teacher had to teach all subjects. However, sometimes the headteacher , Mr. Ronald Broaches would come in and spend an hour or so.
He was a large man with a very happy nature. He had a sense of humor and would be glad in telling the children small stories which make us laugh.
I found that he took great interest in me and he quickly found that I enjoyed puzzles. He would stop me as I was going to class and take a piece of paper out of his pocket, often with a puzzle on it. As time went on, they slowly gave me an interest in math and problem—solving that stays with me to this day.
To this day, I can remember Mr. Broaches’ cheerful cry of “Well done!” whenever I got a problem right. I shall always be thankful that our paths crossed.
Mr. Bruoaches died just two weeks after I won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. Unfortunately, I had no chance to speak to him before he died. I learnt late that he had heard of my success and I will always hope that he knew the deep influence he had made on my life.

When I spent the summer with my grandmother, she sent me down to the store with a list. Behind the counter was a lady, Miss Bee. “Excuse me,” I said. She looked up. “I need to get these,” I continued, holding up my list. “So? Go to get them.” Miss Bee pointed to a sign. “There’s no one here except you and me, and I’m not your servant, so get yourself a basket over there.”
I visited Miss Bee twice a week that summer. Sometimes she shortchanged me, other times she overcharged (多收钱). Going to the store was like going into battle. But by the end of the summer, I could finish the one-hour shopping trip in around 15 minutes. The morning I was to return home, I stopped in to get some gum. “All right,” she said. “What did you learn this summer?” “That you’re a meanie (刻薄鬼)!” I replied. Miss Bee just laughed. “I know what you think of me,” she said. “Well, don’t care! My job is to teach every child I meet life lessons. When you get older you’ll be glad!” Glad I met Miss Bee? Ha! The idea was unreasonable. Then one day my daughter came to me with homework troubles. “It’s too hard,” she said. “Could you finish my math problems for me?” “If I do it for you, how will you ever learn to do it yourself?” I said. Suddenly, I was back at that store where I had learned the hard way to add up my bill by myself. Have I ever been overcharged since?
Life is full of all kinds of troubles. You may be given a hand once or twice, but luck may not find you every time. So try to work it out yourself.

37. The Chinese for the underlined word “shortchanged” is ________.
A. 少找钱 B. 辱骂 C. 吝啬 D. 没变化
38. Why did the writer describe going to the store as “going into battle”?

A. she didn’t dare buy anything at a later time B. she was more familiar with how to shop there
C. the worker in the store often gave her a hand D. Miss Bee gradually gave up playing jokes on her

D. Miss Bee had actually helped her improve her math skills
【答案】36. C 37. A 38. A 39. B 40. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者暑假在祖母家时,去 Miss Bee 的商店购物,Miss Bee 用看似刻薄的方式让作者学会了自己处理事情,多年后作者通过帮助女儿做作业,意识到 Miss Bee 的做法对自己产生了积极影响,明白了生活中要靠自己解决问题的道理。
【36题详解】
第一段提到:“So? Go to get them.” Miss Bee pointed to a sign. “There’s no one here except you and me, and I’m not your servant, so get yourself a basket over there.” 这说明当作者举起购物清单时,Miss Bee 让作者自己去找东西,也就是让她自己去做这件事。
【37题详解】
第二段提到:“Sometimes she shortchanged me, Other times she overcharged (多收钱).” 这里“overcharged”是多收钱,与之相对,“shortchanged” 意思应该是少找钱。
【38题详解】
第二段提到:“Going to the store was like going into battle.” 结合前文 Miss Bee 有时少找钱有时多收钱,可知作者把去商店比作上战场是因为她必须非常小心,避免被 Miss Bee 欺骗。
【39题详解】
第二段提到:“But by the end of the summer, I could finish the one-hour shopping trip in around 15 minutes.” 结合前文作者多次去商店,可知到暑假结束时作者能在 15 分钟内完成购物是因为她对在那里如何购物更熟悉了。
【40题详解】
第三段提到作者帮女儿做作业时想起自己在商店的经历,以及 Miss Bee 说的话 “My job is to teach every child I meet life lessons. When you get older you’ll be glad!” 可知作者想起购物经历后意识到 Miss Bee 实际上帮助她提高了自己处理事情的能力,这里结合前文在商店算账等,可理解为提高了类似数学计算等生活技能方面的能力。

Up in the Sky
Take a trip up a hill on a windy day. What is flying high in the sky? It isn’t a bird or a plane. It is a kite!
Kids and adults like flying kites. Long ago, the first kites were made by Chinese people. Then, people around the world began flying kites.
One story tells a man’s hat got lifted off by wind. He had fun chasing (追赶) his hat, so he did it again! His hat became the first kite. Other stories tell that people liked watching leaves on windy days. They tied leaves to strings (线) and watched them fly.
Long ago, kites became important in keeping China protected. A man might be lifted up by a kite while he spied (监视) on an enemy. He could use the kite to fly high like a plane. He could also fight from the air!
Kites come in many shapes, sizes, and styles. They are usually made of cloth or paper. A kite might be shaped like a bird, a fish, or just a box. Kites are also painted with colors.
You can use a kite to catch fish. First you tie a fishing line to a kite. Then you put bait (鱼饵) on the line. You watch the kite with hopes as it flies over the water. When you pull the kite down, you might find a fish on your line! Some people think this is more fun than using a fishing pole (杆).
Many countries have special days to honor kites. People make, sell and fly many types of kites. There are several kite festivals in China. The Beijing International Kite Festival is usually held in April every year. People spend all day flying kites. You might see famous fighter kites. People fly these kites quite fast and try to cut other flyers’ lines.
There is much to learn about kites. From long ago in China until now, kites have had many uses. They have been used for spying, fighting, and fishing. But the best way to use a kite is to fly it high for fun!
根据短文内容,判断正(T)误(F)。
41. Both kids and adults like flying kites.
42. People tied colorful paper to strings and watched them fly.
43. Kites are usually made of cloth or paper in many shapes, sizes, and styles.

第六段提到用风筝钓鱼,第七段提到风筝节,倒数第二段提到“From long ago in China until now, kites have had many uses. They have been used for spying, fighting, and fishing. But the best way to use a kite is to fly it high for fun!”,说明人们用风筝来监视、战斗、钓鱼和娱乐,所以“People have used kites to spy, fight, fish and have fun.”表述正确。

If you visit London nowadays, you’ll see a lot of buses and cars on the road, you’ll also see a lot of bikes because nowadays more and more people travel by bike.
There are a lot of reasons for this. First, it’s very cheap to use a bike, and it’s quick. Oh, you often wait for a bus for half an hour. When the bus comes, there are so many other buses and cars on the roads that the bus moves very slowly. The underground train is quick but very expensive and often crowded.
I traveled to work by bus for about four years. I often arrived at work late and tired. One day, about two years ago, a colleague said, “I go to work by bike, why don’t we travel together?” “Because my bike’s old,” I answered, “And there are so many buses and cars on the road. I’ll feel frightened.” “You needn’t worry about this,” said my friend.
“If you follow me and we ride slowly, you’ll be fine.” Although we went slowly, we arrived at work quickly. The bus ride took forty minutes and the bike ride took half an hour.
The next day I bought myself a new bike. Now I don’t feel afraid. I love cycling to work. I think it is very important. I feel fit and well.
Many people think in the same way as I do. That’s why you see a lot of bikes on the road. Who knows, perhaps in the future we’ll have roads for bicycles only. I hope so!

【导语】本文介绍了新加坡这个东南亚小岛,包括其语言环境、美食、夜间动物园以及气候特点,展现了新加坡作为一个旅游胜地的独特魅力。
【56题详解】
句意:对于成千上万来自中国的游客来说,这个东南亚小岛是一个美妙且安全的度假胜地。“for”有“对于……来说”的意思,这里表示对象,即对于来自中国的游客来说,句首首字母大写。
【57题详解】
句意:一方面,超过四分之三的人口是中国人,所以很多时候你可以简单地说普通话。“more than three quarters of the population”表示“超过四分之三的人口”,population在这里表示“人口”,作复数概念,句子时态是一般现在时,所以be动词用are。
【58题详解】
句意:一方面,超过四分之三的人口是中国人,所以很多时候你可以简单地说普通话。“speak”是动词,前面要用副词修饰,“simple”的副词形式是“simply”,表示“简单地”。
【59题详解】
句意:也许你担心旅行时找不到好吃的东西吃。“to eat”是动词不定式,在这里作后置定语,修饰“anything good”,表示“可以吃的好东西”。
【60题详解】
句意:然而,在新加坡,你会发现很多来自中国的食物;你不会有任何问题得到米饭、面条或饺子。“have problem (in) doing sth.”是固定搭配,表示“做某事有问题”,所以这里用“get”的动名词形式“getting”。
【61题详解】
句意:无论你喜欢印度菜、西餐还是日本菜,在新加坡你都能找到!“Indian food”“Western food”和“Japanese food”是并列关系,这里表示选择关系,用“or”连接,意思是“或者”。
【62题详解】
句意:天黑时去动物园似乎很奇怪。“It”在这里作形式主语,真正的主语是“to go to a zoo when it’s dark”,避免句子头重脚轻。
【63题详解】
句意:在夜间野生动物园,你可以在一个比普通动物园更自然的环境中观察这些动物。“than”表示比较,前面要用形容词的比较级,“nature”的形容词形式是“natural”,其比较级是“more natural”,表示“更自然的”。
【64题详解】
句意:新加坡的一大优点是全年气温几乎相同。“same”前面通常要加定冠词“the”,表示“相同的”。
【65题详解】
句意:这是因为这个岛离赤道如此之近。“be close to”是固定短语,表示“离……近”,所以这里用“to”。

From age eight to eleven, I studied at a small school in Bath, England. It was a small school of four classes, with about twenty-five children in each class according to age. For the most part, one teacher had to teach all subjects. However, sometimes the headteacher , Mr. Ronald Broaches would come in and spend an hour or so.
He was a large man with a very happy nature. He had a sense of humor and would be glad in telling the children small stories which make us laugh.
I found that he took great interest in me and he quickly found that I enjoyed puzzles. He would stop me as I was going to class and take a piece of paper out of his pocket, often with a puzzle on it. As time went on, they slowly gave me an interest in math and problem—solving that stays with me to this day.
To this day, I can remember Mr. Broaches’ cheerful cry of “Well done!” whenever I got a problem right. I shall always be thankful that our paths crossed.
Mr. Bruoaches died just two weeks after I won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. Unfortunately, I had no chance to speak to him before he died. I learnt late that he had heard of my success and I will always hope that he knew the deep influence he had made on my life.

When I spent the summer with my grandmother, she sent me down to the store with a list. Behind the counter was a lady, Miss Bee. “Excuse me,” I said. She looked up. “I need to get these,” I continued, holding up my list. “So? Go to get them.” Miss Bee pointed to a sign. “There’s no one here except you and me, and I’m not your servant, so get yourself a basket over there.”
I visited Miss Bee twice a week that summer. Sometimes she shortchanged me, other times she overcharged (多收钱). Going to the store was like going into battle. But by the end of the summer, I could finish the one-hour shopping trip in around 15 minutes. The morning I was to return home, I stopped in to get some gum. “All right,” she said. “What did you learn this summer?” “That you’re a meanie (刻薄鬼)!” I replied. Miss Bee just laughed. “I know what you think of me,” she said. “Well, don’t care! My job is to teach every child I meet life lessons. When you get older you’ll be glad!” Glad I met Miss Bee? Ha! The idea was unreasonable. Then one day my daughter came to me with homework troubles. “It’s too hard,” she said. “Could you finish my math problems for me?” “If I do it for you, how will you ever learn to do it yourself?” I said. Suddenly, I was back at that store where I had learned the hard way to add up my bill by myself. Have I ever been overcharged since?
Life is full of all kinds of troubles. You may be given a hand once or twice, but luck may not find you every time. So try to work it out yourself.

Take a trip up a hill on a windy day. What is flying high in the sky? It isn’t a bird or a plane. It is a kite!

One story tells a man’s hat got lifted off by wind. He had fun chasing (追赶) his hat, so he did it again! His hat became the first kite. Other stories tell that people liked watching leaves on windy days. They tied leaves to strings (线) and watched them fly.
Long ago, kites became important in keeping China protected. A man might be lifted up by a kite while he spied (监视) on an enemy. He could use the kite to fly high like a plane. He could also fight from the air!
Kites come in many shapes, sizes, and styles. They are usually made of cloth or paper. A kite might be shaped like a bird, a fish, or just a box. Kites are also painted with colors.
You can use a kite to catch fish. First you tie a fishing line to a kite. Then you put bait (鱼饵) on the line. You watch the kite with hopes as it flies over the water. When you pull the kite down, you might find a fish on your line! Some people think this is more fun than using a fishing pole (杆).
Many countries have special days to honor kites. People make, sell and fly many types of kites. There are several kite festivals in China. The Beijing International Kite Festival is usually held in April every year. People spend all day flying kites. You might see famous fighter kites. People fly these kites quite fast and try to cut other flyers’ lines.
There is much to learn about kites. From long ago in China until now, kites have had many uses. They have been used for spying, fighting, and fishing. But the best way to use a kite is to fly it high for fun!

If you visit London nowadays, you’ll see a lot of buses and cars on the road, you’ll also see a lot of bikes because nowadays more and more people travel by bike.
There are a lot of reasons for this. First, it’s very cheap to use a bike, and it’s quick. Oh, you often wait for a bus for half an hour. When the bus comes, there are so many other buses and cars on the roads that the bus moves very slowly. The underground train is quick but very expensive and often crowded.
I traveled to work by bus for about four years. I often arrived at work late and tired. One day, about two years ago, a colleague said, “I go to work by bike, why don’t we travel together?” “Because my bike’s old,” I answered, “And there are so many buses and cars on the road. I’ll feel frightened.” “You needn’t worry about this,” said my friend.
“If you follow me and we ride slowly, you’ll be fine.” Although we went slowly, we arrived at work quickly. The bus ride took forty minutes and the bike ride took half an hour.
The next day I bought myself a new bike. Now I don’t feel afraid. I love cycling to work. I think it is very important. I feel fit and well.
Many people think in the same way as I do. That’s why you see a lot of bikes on the road. Who knows, perhaps in the future we’ll have roads for bicycles only. I hope so!
