2023年山东省泰安市肥城市中考二模英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、完形填空A woodcutter started a new job at a timber (木材) company. The pay and work conditions were quite good.     1     the company was treating him well, the woodcutter worked as hard as he could. His boss gave him an axe (斧头) and showed him     2     he was supposed to work. On his first day, the woodcutter cut down 18 trees. “Congratulations,” his boss said. “Keep going!”Encouraged by his boss’ words, the woodcutter worked even harder the next day, but could only cut down 15 trees. The     3     day, he tried even harder, but only cut down 10 trees. Day after day, he was cutting down fewer and fewer trees. “I must be losing my     4    , the woodcutter thought. He went to his boss and apologized (道歉), saying that he could not understand what was going on. “When was the     5     time you sharpened (磨砺) your axe?” his boss asked. “Sharpen? I have no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut down trees.”Our lives are like that. We sometimes get so busy     6     we don’t take time to sharpen our “axe”. In today’s world, it seems that everyone is busier than ever, but also     7     than ever. Why is this? There’s     8     wrong with activity and hard work. Probably it is because we have forgotten how to stay “sharp”. We have forgotten to continue improving our     9     so we lose our efficiency (效率). Then we     10     ourselves in a busy state and become stressed. We will feel less happy. So remember, always take the time to sharpen your “axe” and don’t become “blunt” (钝的).1．A．Even if B．Since C．As soon as2．A．when B．who C．where3．A．third B．fourth C．second4．A．work B．strength C．tool5．A．first B．next C．last6．A．that B．so C．as7．A．less lucky B．less happy C．happier8．A．something B．everything C．nothing9．A．skills B．life C．happiness10．A．forget B．leave C．want  二、阅读单选All through the primary school, I need help with schoolwork. If I got a D, I was very happy. If I got a C, I had achieved greatness. A+ and B+ were a level that I could never reach.Once my teacher had given me a list of ten spelling words. My mother and I went over the list until I knew those words. I felt great. I thought, “Wow! This time, I’ll pass.”The next day, I went into the classroom and began to write down the words. The first word was “carper”. I wrote that one down: c-a-r-p-e-t. I was feeling pretty confident. Then came the word “neighbor”. I only wrote down the letter n. Then “Suburban”—I wrote s-u-b. My confidence failed me. I had gone from 100 percent to maybe getting a D．Where did the words go?Some people talk about information sliding off your brain. That was my life.

The new models are either a bit faster or have better cameras, but they are no different from the ones already in our pockets. This is why scientists are working for something new, something that will change our lives just as greatly as smartphones do. The next invention might be smart glasses. Just imagine, instead of having to pick up your phone and look at the screen, all of the information you need simply appears just in front of you, in your glasses. Satellite navigation (导航) directions would appear right there on the road. And your smart glasses could guide you to the right shelf in the supermarket!Smart glasses could also be used in industry. They could show engineers the instructions they need to fix things more quickly. A doctor could carry out a difficult operation, guided in real time by someone on the other side of the world. This may sound impossible. But most of the technologies to invent them are already there. For example, one key technology is called AR, which can make digital 3D objects appear as if they are part of the real world. Similarly, huge progress has been made in spatial audio (立体环绕声). This is when a sound is made to give it a sense of place, like what you hear in an empty room. Some high-end (高端) earphones can already do that. Future glasses will of course need to recognize (识别) your voice to do tasks. So, why aren’t we all wearing smart glasses yet? So far, no one has invented a good way to send images (影像) of our world onto glasses. However, with the rapid development of technology, smart glasses could arrive much sooner than we think.18．What are Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly about?A．Why smart glasses should be changed. B．How smart glasses would give directions.C．Where smart glasses could be used. D．When smart glasses might be made.19．To invent smart glasses, _________ needs to be improved.A．sending images onto glasses B．recognizing voices C．creating digital 3D objects              D．making spatial audio20．Which of the following statements is Not True?A．Scientists are working for something that will change our lives as greatly as smartphones.B．The spatial audio can make digital 3D objects appear as if they are part of the real world.C．So far, no one has invented a good way to send images of our world onto glasses.D．Smart glasses could be invented in the near future.21．How might the writer feel about the future of smart glasses?A．Bored. B．Hopeless. C．Doubtful. D．Confident. The directors of tourism administration（旅游局）are trying to make their provinces and areas more well-known through social media. They appear in short videos, wearing special costume or even a space suit. Their short films are all set in breathtaking locations and the performances have been well-received.In one popular short film that attracted tens of thousands of likes, a woman is wearing white headwear and an all-white dress of the Oroqen ethnic group（鄂伦春族）and walking in a snow-covered forest. Du Bo, head of her local bureau（局）of culture and tourism in Heilongjiang Province, filmed herself as such to show Oroqen ethnic customs. Du said she spent two hours shooting and shivering（颤抖）outside as temperatures were -20℃ during the filming, which was finally cut to under a minute. She said she hoped to show the beauty of snow and ice with the short film.Liu Jiehua, a director in Anyang City, Henan Province, dressed as China’s first recorded woman general in the Shang Dynasty to speak for the historical place and encourage more tourists to visit. Chen Guanyu, director in Artux City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, sent out the invitation to his hometown on horseback. With many other directors dressed in special clothing, director Dorje in Daofu County, Sichuan Province had come up with something different. One of his most famous photo shoots is in an astronaut suit.From riding horses and dressing like astronauts to wearing special ethnic costumes, the normally serious officials are going all out to make local tourism come alive. Most people online welcome this creative competition in the group of these officials, as they help viewers know more about local scenic spots in small counties and faraway places.22．What effort did some officials make for their work according to the passage?A．Organizing ethnic activities.B．Visiting local historical places.C．Directing some interesting films.D．Getting in characters in short videos.23．What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．What customs the Oroqen ethnic group had.B．Why Du Bo expressed the beautiful scenery to the public.C．How Du Bo made efforts in filming the popular short video.D．Where the popular short film with nice snow and ice was shot.24．________ had a different view from the others in the dressing way.A．Du Bo B．Liu Jiehua C．Dorje D．Chen Guanyu25．Which is NOT the goal the officials try hard to achieve according to the passage?A．To show tourists the local beautiful places.B．To encourage tourists to visit places faraway.C．To help people better understand local customs.D．To welcome other directors to the creative competitions.  三、阅读还原5选5Culture shock is often described as feeling confused (困惑的) or nervous in a foreign place. It’s very common for international students. Let’s take international students studying in the US for example.     26     This is not only because they feel nervous about their ability to communicate in English, but also because they need to adapt (适应) to a different style of learning, such as taking a discussion-based class. Many international students feel OK with the occasional (偶尔的) embarrassing mistakes at a restaurant or store, but they start to feel strong culture shock when they are often faced with some uncomfortable or unfamiliar situations. “Americans are very outspoken (坦率的) about everything,” said Chau, a student from Vietnam. “    27    ”“When I first came to America from China, it was hard for me to understand that Americans drink ice water all year round.” said Jessica, another student. “    28    ” she added. “This is sometimes inconvenient for me, because I don’t have time to deal with things during the working days.”Getting adapted to social customs is just one part of adapting to life in America. If international students plan to get an internship (实习) when studying in the US, there is also the possibility for culture shock at work.     29    No matter what the situation is, international students can try to use these tips to help them feel better and get over it.     30    A．It’s hard for me to get used to the fact that many banks are closed on weekends.B．Stay positive, be social, know yourself and give yourself a break.C．They may find culture shock experienced in the classroom harder to deal with.D．For example, having a different professional dress rule, communicating in English by email.E．I had a hard time adapting because sometimes I do not speak up about how I feel.  四、根据首字母填空31．If you are kind to others, then you’ll be t________ by others in the same way.32．Some people hold different opinions about w________ Chat GPT is offering help better or making things worse33．As President Xi says, we will achieve the g________ (目标) we have set as long as we stay confident and fight for progress.34．C________ with last year, China’s economy (经济) has developed rapidly with the efforts of all Chinese.35．The government of Zibo p________ a free barbecue dinner for thousands of college students and invited them to come back to the city again when spring came. 五、短文选词填空根据短文内容，用方框中所给词语的适当形式填空，使文章通顺、完整，每词限用一次。whatever, reach, hardly, birth, with, strange, alone, unhappiness, change, unbelievableI know my brother better than anyone else in the world. Since the moment of his     36    , I’ve been part of his life. I had spent seven happy years in the world with the attention of people around me.But when Thomas was born, life     37    . All of a sudden, I had to share my toys and there were no more bedtime stories or my own choice of food. I hated this small boy. The poor baby had no idea what had made me so unhappy. Maybe he found me     38    , the only person in this house who did not like him.     39     the reason was, he loved following me around. However, I seldom talked to him and always asked him to leave me     40    .Then all that changed. I     41     remember anything from that day six years ago, but I do remember that I was feeling very angry. Then I found myself in my brother’s room. I couldn’t help     42     my hand through the bars(栏杆) of his bed. At once, he reached his small hand and softly touched mine. And that was all I needed. Through all the     43     of the day, that one moment changed everything. How could I hate someone that made me feel so important? For the first time, I saw my brother through the eyes of a sister. Suddenly I realized love from my family was always with me.To this day, I can’t imagine life     44     my brother. It is     45     how much I have learned about life from a seven-year-old boy. Above all, Thomas has taught me that one should not care only for himself or herself.  六、多任务混合阅读阅读下面的短文，并根据文章后的要求答题。Peonies(牡丹) are highly-prized flowers native to China. Before being grown by Chinese people more than 1,500 years ago, they had been blooming and withering(凋谢) in the wild for thousands of years. Peonies have big and bright-colored blossoms which are fragrant and elegant.

I believe there are several reasons for the decrease in students’ writing ability. Firstly, students do not pay attention to writing in their daily homework. Secondly, due to excessive reliance on electronic products, students’ handwriting is greatly reduced. Thirdly, students are too lazy to look up dictionaries, which leads to an increase in typos in their writing. In my opinion, I think it is important for students to write in a standardized manner. First of all, good handwriting is beneficial for developing the brain, as well as hands-on and brain skills. In addition, it is an essential skill for lifelong learning and development. More importantly, good handwriting inherits traditional Chinese culture.But for students, how can they improve their handwriting? I think students should pay more attention to their handwriting, cultivate their interest in it and persist in practice.
