中考急救指导——满分作文
内容如下：
1. 记叙部分是什么？
2. 议论部分是什么？
3. 夹叙夹议是什么？
记叙部分主要是用在【结合个人经历】的地方。
在谈到个人经历的时候，通常都是发生过的事情，所以我们在描述的时候时态通常要用一般过去时。
主要是用在【发表个人感受】和【说明理由】的时候。
【发表个人感受】一般会结合【记叙】的部分，构成我们常说的【夹叙夹议文】，题目通常会有“请结合自己的经历，谈谈你的感受”这样的字样。
【说明理由】一般是要说明你为什么适合这个岗位，为什么想加入这个部门等题目，需要在文章中写明你适合的理由。
夹叙夹议其实就是结合上面提到的两个部分，先是写记叙部分，在写好自身经历后，再加上自己的感悟。
我们是需要【结合自身经历】，也就是有【记叙】的板块，描述“我”之前参加过的社会公益劳动、学校组织的劳动活动、居家时的家务劳动等；
其次，我们在【记叙】结束后，可以适当发表【议论】，即分享我的感悟；
当然，在【记叙】前可以用1-2句来做一个铺垫，比如这篇文章可以铺垫说“在我们劳动的过程中，我们会有很多收获。有一次经历令我特别难忘。



一、单项选择（每小题1分，共15分）
1．When I was walking on the street, I saw a drone(无人机) ________ over my head.
A．flies B．flying C．flew D．fly
【答案】B
【详解】句意：当我走在街上时，我看到一架无人机从我头顶飞过。
考查非谓语动词。see…do sth看到……做某事，强调看到整个过程或经常发生的动作；see…doing sth看到……正在做某事，强调动作正在进行。根据“When I was walking on the street, I saw a drone(无人机)… over my head”可知，看到无人机正从头顶上飞过，应填现在分词作宾补，故选B。
2．Alice spends about one hour ________ the piano after she finishes her homework every day.
A．practise B．to practise C．practising D．practised
【答案】C
【详解】句意：爱丽丝每天做完作业后要花一个小时练习钢琴。
考查非谓语动词。根据spend time doing sth.“花时间做某事”可知，此处要用动名词形式。故选C。
3．The small self-service book store on campus has been open ________.
A．in five years’ time B．for the time being
C．by the end of last year D．for five years
【答案】D
【详解】句意：校园里的小型自助书店已经开了五年了。
考查时间状语。in five years’ time“在五年的时间里”；for the time being“暂时”；by the end of last year“到去年年底”；for five years“五年”。根据“The small self-service book store on campus has been open ...”可知，该句时态为现在完成时，且“been open”是延续性动词形式，故应与“for+一段时间”连用。故选D。
4．________ my opinion, this animated cartoon is this director’s greatest work.
A．By B．In C．On D．To
【答案】B
【详解】句意：在我看来，这部动画片是这位导演最伟大的作品。

5．He has read many books on history, so it’s _________ for him to win the contest.
A．possible B．possibly C．proper D．properly
【答案】A
【详解】句意：他读了许多历史方面的书，所以他有可能赢得比赛。
考查it固定句型及词语辨析；possible可能的，形容词；possibly可能地，副词；proper正确的，形容词；properly正确地，副词。根据“He has read many books on history...”可知，他读了许多历史方面的书。由此推断，他有可能赢得比赛。It’s+形容词+for sb. to do sth.，表示“某人做某事是……的”，因此，此处使用形容词possible，表示“可能的”符合语境。故选A。
6．Don’t stay up late, ________ you will feel sleepy the next day.
A．so B．or C．but D．and
【答案】B
【详解】句意：不要熬夜太晚，否则第二天你会感到困倦。
考查连词辨析。so所以；or否则；but但是；and和。根据“Don’t stay up late, ... you will feel sleepy the next day.”可知，此处句型为“祈使句+or+陈述句”的结构，表示以祈使句为假设条件下的相反假设，意为“否则”。故选B。
7．Unaware ________ the danger or risk, some drivers ride their cars after drinking.
A．of B．to C．for D．from
【答案】A
【详解】句意：由于不知道危险或风险，一些司机酒后驾车。
考查介词辨析。of……的；to去……；for为了；from从……。根据“Unaware…the danger or risk, some drivers ride their cars after drinking.”可知此处应是be unaware of“没有意识到……”，作状语时，不加be动词。故选A。
8．Our housing estate ________ at the end of next week to welcome the coming new year.
A．is decorated B．was decorated C．will be decorated D．has been decorated
【答案】C
【详解】句意：我们的小区将在下周末进行装修以迎接即将到来的新年。
考查动词的时态。根据“at the end of next week”可知，动作还未发生，故应用一般将来时，由于“Our housing estate”和“decorate”为被动关系，“我们小区”是“被装修”，故此处应用一般将来时的被动语态，即“will be+过去分词”的结构。故选C。
9．We cannot find the owner of the purse because no one knows _________ it belongs to.
A．whose B．who C．when D．why
【答案】B
【详解】句意：我们找不到钱包的主人，因为没人知道它属于谁。
考查宾语从句。whose谁的；who谁；when什么时候；why为什么。根据“We cannot find the owner of the purse”可知是因为没有人知道钱包属于谁，应用who作belong to的宾语，故选B。
10．________ exciting the result is! I couldn’t believe I passed the exam with a full mark.
A．How B．What C．How an D．What an
【答案】A
【详解】句意：结果是多么的令人兴奋啊！我不能相信我以满分通过了考试。
考查感叹句。根据感叹句的句型“How+形容词/副词+主谓”，可知，空格后是形容词（exciting）+主语（the result）+谓语（ is）所以应是How。故选A。
11．My umbrella was here a minute ago! ________ took it by mistake, I’m afraid.
A．Everybody B．Somebody C．Anybody D．Nobody
【答案】B
【详解】句意：我的伞一分钟前还在这里！恐怕是有人拿错了。

12．Unlike machines, human beings ________ do calculations without mistakes.
A．can’t B．mustn’t C．needn’t D．shouldn’t
【答案】A
【详解】句意：与机器不同，人类不能够在进行计算时没有错误。
考查情态动词。can’t不能；mustn’t禁止；needn’t不需要；shouldn’t不应该。根据“do calculations without mistakes.”可知表示计算时没有错误，这是不能做到的事情，应用can’t。故选A。
13．With April 18’s railway speedup, highway and air transport will have to compete for ________ service for passengers.
A．the best B．best C．better D．good
【答案】C
【详解】句意：随着4月18日铁路提速，高铁和空运将不得以更好的服务来争取（更多）乘客。
考查形容词比较级。根据“highway and air transport”及“compete for”可知此处对象是两个，存在竞争关系，所以应用比较级，故选C。
14．Have you heard of the terrible news? Large amounts of our personal information ________ on the Internet last night.
A．have been sold B．was sold
C．has been sold D．were sold
【答案】B
【详解】句意：你听说这个可怕的消息了吗？昨晚我们的大量个人信息在互联网上被出售。
考查被动语态。主语information和动词sell之间是被动关系，要用被动语态；根据时间状语“last night”可知句子时态应是一般过去时，所以要用一般过去时的被动语态，其结构为：was/were+动词的过去分词；主语information是不可数名词，be动词用was。故选B。
15．During the meeting, the boss was making a presentation while the secretary ________ notes.
A．had taken B．was taking C．would take D．took
【答案】B
【详解】句意：开会时，老板在做报告，秘书在做笔记。

【答案】16．C    17．A    18．D    19．B    20．B    21．C    22．E    23．A

【导语】本文介绍了算盘和计算机的历史。
16．句意：起初他们用手指，但当他们要处理超过10的数字时，一种计数设备就变得有必要了。分析句子可知这里应填形容词，作表语；根据上下文“when they had to deal with figures over ten…”和“The earliest known calculating device is probably the abacus.”可知当人们需要计算十以上的数字时，算盘应运而生，这种计数工具很有必要，所以这里用形容词“necessary必要的”。故选C。
17．句意：它可以追溯到至少三千年前，几个世纪以来，商人、职员、学生和会计都在使用算盘。分析句子可知这里应填动词，结合语境和空后“back at least 3,000 years ago”可知用算盘的历史可以追溯到3000年前，用短语“date back追溯到”，所以这里用“dates”。故选A。
18．句意：今天它仍然在使用，尤其在亚洲。根据“It dates back at least 3,000 years ago and the abacus has been used for centuries by merchants, clerks, students and accountants.”和“In fact, the abacus has been around so long…”以及备选词汇可知算盘现如今仍然在使用中，所以这里用“use使用”，构成短语“be in use在使用中”。故选D。
19．句意：事实上，算盘已经存在很长时间，即使是最聪明的历史学家也不能确定是谁发明了它。根据“It dates back at least 3,000 years ago…It is still in use today…the abacus has been around so long that even the smartest historians can’t”和“who invented it”以及备选项可知算盘由来已久，但至今无法确定其发明者，所以这里用短语“make sure确定”。故选B。
20．句意：他发明了两种不同的计算机。分析句子可知这里缺动词，根据前一句“Most people say that the father of the modern computer was the Englishman Charles Babbage.”和备选项可知大部分人说现代计算机之父是英国人Charles Babbage，即他发明了计算机，所以这里用“invented发明”。故选B。
21．句意：第一台打印机是在二十世纪初发明的。结合语境和常识以及备选项可知计算机的第一台打印机诞生于20世纪初，所以这里用短语“at the beginning在……开始”。故选C。
22．句意：1947年，第一个成功的晶体管被发明出来，计算机变得更小了。分析句子这里应填形容词，作表语；根据前一句“Even with the use of electricity, computers were still huge machines.”和常识以及备选项可知开始的计算机体积庞大，后来出现了晶体管，所以计算机的体积就变小了，因此空处用“smaller更小的”。故选E。
23．句意：1952年，第一台具有存储器、屏幕、键盘和打印机的计算机被研制出来。结合语境和上文“Thomas Edison’s experiments led to the inventions of the screen that we use today to look at pictures on our computers.”以及备选项可知存储器、键盘和打印机都是计算机的部件，空处也应该是计算机的组成部分，所以这里用“screen屏幕”。故选A。

三、用所给单词的正确形式填空（每小题1分，共8分）
24．________ (read) novels is one of my sister’s hobbies.
【答案】Reading
【详解】句意：看小说是我姐姐的爱好之一。根据“novels”可知应用不定式或动名词作主语，动名词作主语通常表示抽象动作，而不定式作主语表示具体某一次的动作。原句中“看小说”是抽象动作，应用read的动名词形式，即reading，句首字母要大写，故填Reading。
25．I don’t like making speeches in public. It’s so ________ (embarrass).
【答案】embarrassing
【详解】句意：我不喜欢在公共场合演讲。太尴尬了。根据“It’s so”可知后接形容词作表语，代词it指代上一句提到的“在公共场合演讲”这件事，因此应用embarrass的形容词embarrassing表示“令人尴尬的”。故填embarrassing。
26．Kitty, a good friend of ________, attended the fifth China International Import Expo. (my)
【答案】mine
【详解】句意：我的一位好朋友Kitty参加了第五届中国国际进口博览会。根据“a good friend of”可知，此处为双重所有格结构，因此空处用名词所有格mine。故填mine。
27．I will never ________ the days I spent with my grandparents in the countryside. (forgetful)
【答案】forget
【详解】句意：我永远不会忘记我和祖父母在农村度过的日子。根据“I will never...”可知此处用动词原形forget“忘记”。故填forget。
28．In the diary the girl wrote: “________ is the first step on the road to success.” (confident)
【答案】 Confidence
【详解】句意：女孩在日记中写道：“自信是通往成功的第一步。”分析句子结构可知，此处是主语，因此用名词形式；confident意为“自信的”，其名词为confidence，为不可数名词，句子开头首字母大写。故填Confidence。
29．In my opinion, it is ________ of her to hide the truth from her parents. (honest)
【答案】dishonest
【详解】句意：在我看来，她向父母隐瞒真相是不诚实的。根据“hide the truth from her parents”可知她向父母隐藏真相是不诚实的，作be动词的表语用形容词dishonest“不诚实的”。故填dishonest。
30．“Will it be possible to get me another ticket?” he asked ____ (hopeful).
【答案】hopefully
【详解】句意：他满怀希望地问：“有可能再给我弄一张票吗？”ask是动词，修饰动词应该用副词，hopeful有希望的，形容词，其副词形式为hopefully。故填hopefully。
31．There were no more fish for _________ (fisherman) to catch.
【答案】fishermen
【详解】句意：没有更多的鱼供渔民捕捞了。fisherman意为“渔民”，可数名词，此处表示泛指，空前无冠词，故用名词的复数形式，表示一类事物。故填fishermen。

四、句型转换（每小题2分，共14分）
Complete the following sentences as required (根据所给要求完成句子。小题每空格限填一词)

33．句子要求对画线部分提问。句子画线部分为since 2010，表一段时间，用特殊疑问句提问应用How long，故应填(1). How (2). long。
34．句子要求保持句意基本不变。like … better than可用prefer … to替代，意为“更喜欢、宁愿”，符合句意，故应填(1). prefer (2). to。

38．句子要求连词成句。根据所给单词和短语，可拼出句意为“吃太多巧克力对我们的牙齿无益”，故应填Eating too much chocolate is bad for our teeth.。

六、完形填空（每小题2分，共12分）
Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage. (选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文)
Before the pandemic, it was common to greet others with a hug or a shake of the hand. That’s now being  ____45____ by some people with an elbow or fist bump (碰手肘或者拳头). In the past, men bowed-bending forward at the body and lowering the head as if to say, “I’m not all that important”. Bowing is elegant (优雅的) and unlike elbow bumps, can totally avoid ____46____. So, what do you think? Should bowing make a comeback?
Yes, it’s a humble, graceful greeting.
Bowing provides a practical and graceful solution to the problem of how to greet one another in the midst of a pandemic. Bumping elbows might not spread coronavirus but it doesn’t have the elegance of a bow. It can be awkward not knowing how to greet someone, so a bow can sort this out. It means that people know ____47____ what to do without colliding(碰撞) somewhere between a hug and a handshake. A bow is a gesture of humility(谦逊), which is a sign of strength.
The Victorian writer, Charles Spurgeon, wrote that the humility of a bow leads to feeling invincible(无敌的). ____48____, in these serious times, it could be fun pretending to be in a novel by a Victorian writer.
No, it’s ____49____ to greet people in this way.
Physical touch reduces anxiety, stress and even pain. The pandemic has highlighted(突出) how much people want to hug their friends and family. Can you imagine bowing to a grandmother? In the past, bowing was common in the UK when people at the ____50____—such as royalty(皇室) and the rich—were considered more important than those lower down—such as children and the working classes. Society should not go back to a way of doing things that highlights inequality between groups. There are better ways to greet, such as the Southeast Asian way of saying “Namaste(合十礼)”, with palms together, pointing upwards in gratitude.

50．A．center B．bottom C．palace D．top

【答案】45．B    46．A    47．C    48．A    49．C    50．D

【导语】本文介绍了流行病前后问候打招呼方式是否需要改变，对于以前的“鞠躬”这种方式进行了讨论，“鞠躬”是谦逊的表现，但又是一种过时且体现阶级分化的表现。
45．句意：现在正在被一些人替换成了碰手肘或者拳头。
changed改变；replaced替代；exchanged交换；turned转变。根据前文以及本句“Before the pandemic, it was common to greet others with a hug or a shake of the hand. That’s now being...by some people with an elbow or fist bump...”可知，以前打招呼是拥抱等，现在被“替换成了”碰手肘或者拳头，故选B。
46．句意：不像碰手肘或者拳头，鞠躬是优雅的，能够完全避免接触。
contact接触；connection连接；relation关系；link联结。根据“Before the pandemic, it was common to greet others with a hug or a shake of the hand.”可知，在以前问候方式可以是拥抱等，现在有了流行病，拥抱等打招呼方式正在被其他打招呼方式替代，回到以前的鞠躬方式，就能完全避免“接触”了，故选A。
47．句意：它意味着人们非常明确地知道做什么能不发生拥抱和握手之间发出现的碰撞现象。
even甚至；early早地；exactly确切地；especially尤其。根据“It can be awkward not knowing how to greet someone, so a bow can sort this out. It means that people know...what to do without colliding(碰撞) somewhere between a hug and a handshake.”可知，鞠躬能避免不知道如何问候别人的尴尬，能够让人们“确切地”知道不碰撞该怎么做，故选C。
48．句意：除此之外，在这些严肃的时期，鞠躬在维多利亚小说家的小说里能够假装很有趣。
Besides除此之外还；But但是；Instead相反；Still仍然。根据“The Victorian writer, Charles Spurgeon, wrote that the humility of a bow leads to feeling invincible(无敌的)...in these serious times, it could be fun pretending to be in a novel by a Victorian writer.”可知，在维多利亚时期，鞠躬带来的谦逊让人感到无敌，“除此之外”还能假装很有乐趣，故选A。
49．句意：不，用这种方式问候别人过时了。
out of hand失去控制；in use在使用；out of date过时了；in business在经营中。根据前文以及本句“Yes, it’s a humble, graceful greeting. No, it’s...to greet people in this way.”可知，前文说鞠躬这种方式的好处，后面表示否定，谈论不好的地方，故选C。
50．句意：在过去的英国，当人们处在高位，比如皇室或者富有的人，鞠躬，是很普遍的，比那些处在低级的小孩或者工人阶级更重要。

【导语】本文记述了发生在旧金山的一次地震和大火。
51．句意：但是随后的大火烧毁了价值数亿美元的建筑物。hundreds of millions of“数以亿计的”，结合首字母可知空处填millions。故填(m)illions。
52．句意：除了回忆，它什么也没有留下。nothing…but…“除了……什么都没有”。故填(b)ut。
53．句意：东、西、北、南，强风吹拂着这座死亡之城。根据“East, west, north and south, strong winds…”及首字母提示可知，这里指的是“风吹”，且前有be动词，是进行时态。故填(b)lowing。
54．句意：每一次，火焰都会从他们的侧面或背后再次出现，只是为了击败他们来之不易的胜利。结合句意和首字母可知，这里表示“胜利”。故填(v)ictory。

八、阅读回答问题（每小题2分，共12分）
Last month, the Grade Nine students in Garden School had a debate(辩论) on the topic “Is it a good idea for parents to talk about the family finances(家庭财政) with their kids?”. Here are some opinions from Lisa, one of the students who thinks it is a good idea.

Most parents believe it is not proper to tell their kids about how much they make and how much they spend, so most families don’t talk about money with their kids. They basically feel it is not their concern. You could easily agree. But is it really none of our business? Doesn’t our parents’ income(收入) affect us? They use the money to pay for food, clothing and shelter. If they lost their jobs and became unemployed, wouldn’t that affect us, too?
I’m not going to say parents should show their kids every bill before paying it or that they should ask their kids for advice on big financial decisions, but I will say they should keep kids involved and informed. It is part of teaching them about money and life. Kids follow their parents’ every move and learn from them.
Parents have to teach their kids about money because kids don’t learn it in school. As a parent, it’s necessary to teach them about saving, investing and staying away from credit(赊欠). Also, parents have to manage their own money well if they really want to set an example.
So I think it’s a good idea for parents to talk about the family finances with their kids. Tell them how much your salary is. It might help them decide which career to choose. Tell them how you spend your own money and talk to them before you make big purchases such as a new car. Include them in the process so that they know how it works and are satisfied with it. You can include them more and more as they get older. Don’t make money a taboo(禁忌) issue in your home.
58．Most families talk about money with their kids, don’t they?
________________________________________________.
59．When did the Grade Nine students in Garden School have a debate?
_____________________________________________________________.
60．According to Lisa, what do parents use money to do?
_____________________________________________________________.
61．Why do parents have to teach their kids about money?
_____________________________________________________________.
62．What does Lisa mean by saying “Is it really none of our business”?
_____________________________________________________________.
63．Do you want your parents to talk about family finances with you? Why or why not? Please give at least two reasons.
_____________________________________________________________.

【答案】58．No, they don’t.    59．Last month.    60．Parents/They use money to pay for food, clothing and shelter.    61．Because kids don’t learn it in school.    62．Linda/She means it is some of our business./Linda/She means the family finances have something to do with kids.    63．Yes, I do. Because it can help me decide which career to choose and it is part of teaching me about money and life.

【导语】本文主要通过Lisa的观点来表示父母应该和孩子谈论家里的财政。
58．根据“so most families don’t talk about money with their kids.”可知，大多数家庭不会和孩子谈钱。因此作否定回答。故填No, they don’t.
59．根据“Last month, the Grade Nine students in Garden School had a debate(辩论) on the topic ‘Is it a good idea for parents to talk about the family finances(家庭财政) with their kids?’.”可知，是上个月举行的辩论。故填Last month.
60．根据“They use the money to pay for food, clothing and shelter.”可知，他们用这些钱来支付食物、衣服和住所。故填Parents/They use money to pay for food, clothing and shelter.
61．根据“Parents have to teach their kids about money because kids don’t learn it in school.”可知，因为孩子们在学校里学不到关于金钱的知识，所以父母必须教他们。故填Because kids don’t learn it in school.
62．根据“Doesn’t our parents’ income(收入) affect us? They use the money to pay for food, clothing and shelter. If they lost their jobs and became unemployed, wouldn’t that affect us, too?”可知，Lisa的意思是家里的财政与我们有关系。故填Linda/She means it is some of our business./Linda/She means the family finances have something to do with kids.
63．开放性试题，言之有理即可，参考答案为：Yes, I do. Because it can help me decide which career to choose and it is part of teaching me about money and life.

As a Grade 9 student, a plan for the following months is very important because I would like to enter my dream high school.

Next, I should be a good learner. It is important to try some learning methods. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes because we can learn from them. And I should remember “Practice makes perfect”. Then, never waste time! I need to use time well. Don’t forget to do sports every day. It’s so important to stay healthy. At last, I will pay more attention to news, so that I will read more newspapers and watch news programs. I don’t want to be a student who just study only.
