【小題1】考查連詞及語境的理解。句意:關(guān)于人們從什么時(shí)候開始使用鹽這個(gè)事我們并不知道。when 什么時(shí)候;where 在哪里;what 什么;which哪一個(gè)。根據(jù)句意可知,這里是說不知道人們從什么時(shí)候開始使用鹽。故選A。
【小題2】考查介詞及語境的理解。句意:但是我們知道貫穿整個(gè)歷史,鹽已經(jīng)被用多種方法來使用了。throughout 貫穿,遍及;thought做名詞是想法的意思;另外它還可以是think 的過去式,認(rèn)為,思考的意思;though連詞,盡管,雖然;although 與though 同義。throughout the history 是一個(gè)固定搭配,貫穿整個(gè)歷史,在這里表示歷史悠久。故選A。
【小題3】考查動(dòng)詞及語境的理解。句意:例如,在很多歷史書中記載:三千多年前的人們就開始吃咸魚了。A. say說,強(qiáng)調(diào)說的內(nèi)容;    B. reported 報(bào)道;C. recorded  記載,記錄;D. reading閱讀。這里是一個(gè)句型it is recorded that 據(jù)記載…,這里是根據(jù)一些歷史書籍中的記載,并且下文Books also record that 也暗示了我們答案。故選C。
【小題4】考查動(dòng)詞及語境的理解。句意:例如,在很多歷史書中記載:三千多年前的人們就開始吃咸魚了四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中都是動(dòng)詞eat 的形式,意思是:吃。A. eat 是動(dòng)詞的原形;B .ate   是eat 的過去式;C. eating是一個(gè)現(xiàn)在分詞的形式;D. have eaten是現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)的形式。根據(jù)句中three thousand years ago 可知,這句話說的是三千多年前的事情,應(yīng)該用一般過去時(shí)態(tài)。故選B。
【小題5】考查動(dòng)詞及語境的理解。句意:幾千年前在埃及,鹽被用來保存死人。A. used to  過去常常,后面跟動(dòng)詞的原形;B. was used to被用來做…,后面跟動(dòng)詞原形;C. was used 被使用,是一個(gè)被動(dòng)語態(tài);D. used使用,是use 的過去式。根據(jù)句意可知,這里應(yīng)該表示鹽被用來做…,故選B。
【小題6】考查介詞及語境的理解。句意:它可以使死尸不腐爛。A. off 離開;B. from從…;C. on   在…上面,或在具體某一天;D. out出去。這句話中keep …from…是一個(gè)固定句型,阻止…做某事。這里的意思是不讓死尸腐爛。故介詞應(yīng)該是from。

【小題8】考查名詞及語境的理解。句意:在18世紀(jì),偷鹽的人被認(rèn)為是犯法的A. law法律;B. glass玻璃;C. computer電腦;D. time時(shí)間。break the law 是固定短語,觸犯法律。故選A。其他選項(xiàng)的意思與文意無關(guān)。
【小題9】考查名詞及語境的理解。句意:如果一個(gè)人被抓住偷了鹽,那么他會(huì)被送進(jìn)監(jiān)獄。A. pool   池塘;B. hill小山;    C. prison  監(jiān)獄;D. river河,河流。根據(jù)上文可知,在18世紀(jì)時(shí)偷鹽是犯法的,所以如果被抓住偷鹽了,應(yīng)該是被送進(jìn)監(jiān)獄的。下句話中put into prison也可以告訴我們答案。故選C。
【小題10】考查連詞及語境的理解。句意:書中記載在那個(gè)世紀(jì)的英國有大約1萬人因?yàn)橥蝶}被送進(jìn)了監(jiān)獄。A. because因?yàn)椋且粋(gè)連詞,后面引導(dǎo)原因狀語從句;    B. because of  因?yàn),后跟名詞或動(dòng)詞的ing形式;C. by  通過…方式;D. as做介詞,是作為的意思。根據(jù)句意可知,這里是說因?yàn)橥蝶}而進(jìn)監(jiān)獄,表示的是原因,并且空后跟的是一個(gè)動(dòng)詞ing形式的短語。故選B。
【小題11】考查形容詞及語境的理解。句意:在1553年,如果一個(gè)人拿的鹽比他應(yīng)該分到的更多的話,他就被認(rèn)為是觸犯了法律,會(huì)受到嚴(yán)厲的懲罰。A. more  更多的,是比較級形式;B. less  更少的,也是一個(gè)比較級,原級是little;C. fewer更少的,是few的比較級;    D. most最多的,是一個(gè)最高級形式。根據(jù)句意和空后的than可知,這里應(yīng)該用比較級形式,且應(yīng)該是拿的鹽比應(yīng)分的更多會(huì)受到懲罰。故選A。
【小題12】考查形容詞及語境的理解。句意:在1553年,如果一個(gè)人拿的鹽比他應(yīng)該分到的更多的話,他就被認(rèn)為是觸犯了法律,會(huì)受到嚴(yán)厲的懲罰。A. serious形容詞,嚴(yán)肅的,嚴(yán)厲的;B. bad 形容詞,糟糕的;C. terrible形容詞,可怕的,糟糕的;D seriously副詞,嚴(yán)厲的。這里應(yīng)該用副詞形式來修飾動(dòng)詞punished。故選D。

Every year, we celebrate many special days─Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, and New Year’s Day. In some countries, there is a special day for playing tricks on others. In North America and parts of Europe, this day is known as April Fool’s Day, and is celebrated on April 1.
Many people believe that the French started April Fool’s Day. Centuries ago, New Year’s Day in Europe was April 1. In 1582, the calendar changed and King Charles IX of France moved it to January 1.
Some people did not like this, and chose to keep April 1 as New Year’s Day. Many called these people ‘April fools’ and played jokes and tricks on them. Over time, April 1 became a day to have fun in France. It then spread to England and Scotland, and later, to North America.
On April Fool’s Day, jokes are common. In the United States, for example, a person may move a friend’s clock ahead one hour, or change the sugar and salt. In Scotland, April Fool’s Day lasts for two days. The second day is called ‘Taily Day’─for one’s ‘tail’. On this day, people might secretly put a sign saying ‘kick me’ on a person’s back or behind. Other countries have their own ‘Fool’s Day’. In Spain and Mexico, people play tricks on each other on December 28. In India, it happens on March 31.
In many countries around the world, April 1 is a day of fun. Jokes bring about a lot of laughter, and many shouts of ‘April Fool’!

科目:初中英語 來源: 題型:閱讀理解

Some children cannot wait to grow up. Because once you become an adult, you are free to make your own decisions. More importantly, you can do all those things that you cannot do now because you are too young. So, the question is, ‘At what age do you really become an adult?' Well, people become adults at different ages in different places.
In Australia, the 18th birthday is a very important event for young Australians because it means they can do almost anything they want. They can vote, learn to drive a car, get married, join the army and even buy their own houses. However, even if they can do all these things, most Australians have to wait until their 21st birthday to really celebrate becoming an adult. This is the traditional adult age not only in Australia, but also in the USA and the UK. It is their first year of true independence (獨(dú)立).Traditionally, people were given a key to their houses by their parents when they turned 21, meaning they could come and go as they like.
Even though 21 is the traditional adult age in many English-speaking countries, the law nowadays is different in each country. In the UK, you can join the army at 16 and even get married at 16 if your parents allow. Young people in the UK can learn to drive a car at 17 as in Australia, although they have to wait until they are 18 to vote.
In China, there is a different age for each of the stages of becoming an adult. You can vote and learn to drive a car when you are 18, but if you want to get married, women have to wait until they are 20 and men until they are 22. Chinese people celebrate important birthdays every 10 years--so when young people turn 20, they can expect a big party!
No matter what age you are, becoming an adult is really about learning how to be independent and responsible(負(fù)責(zé)任的). Once you are finally able to take care of yourself and make your own decisions, then you can say that you are truly all grown-ups.
【小題1】Which of the following are truly adults according to the passage?

A.Independent grown-ups. B.Married people.
C.People who can drive. D.People in the army.
【小題2】At what age do Australians really become adults?
A.17. B.18.C.20.D.21.
【小題3】What is the writer’s opinion about the age people become adults?
A.The age people become adults depends on whether they can vote or not.
B.The age people become adults depends on their own independence and responsibility.
C.The age people become adults depends on if they are eighteen years old.
D.The age people become adults depends on when they get the key to their houses.
【小題4】Why do people in Australia get the key to the houses when they really become adults?
A.Because the law decides it.
B.Because they can leave when they want.
C.Because they can come home when they want.
D.Because it is a tradition.
【小題5】What are adults free to do according to the passage?
A.They are free to decide when to celebrate their own birthdays.
B.They are free to look after themselves well.
C.They are free to make their own decisions.
D.They are free to make time move faster.
