中考英语重难点突破练习6（笔者原创）
1. Lucy is playing _____ erhu while her 5-month-old sister is playing with_____ football.
A. an; a B. the; the C. the ; / D. /; a
此题选D。
露西正在拉二胡，她那五个月的妹妹在玩足球。
西洋乐器前要加the，但中国传统乐器前是零冠词；play football踢足球，是运动，而play with a/the football 玩足球，是玩耍。
2. --- You look so tired. How about me carrying the books for you?
--- Thanks for your ______, but I can manage it myself.
A. advice B. question C. idea D. offer
此题选D.
---你看起来很累，我帮你拿书怎么样？ ---谢谢你的好意，但我自己能行。
offer无论做动词还是名词，都强调主动性，主动、志愿提供帮助。
3. —Who do you think is playing the piano?
—_______ the twin sisters. The girls are having a piano competition next month.
A.It is B.They are C.That is D.There are
此题选A。
--- 你认为是谁现在还在弹钢琴呢？ --- 是那对双胞胎姐妹，她们下个月要参加钢琴比赛。
这是一个省略的强调句，完整的句子为“It is the twin sisters that / who are playing the piano”。
4. It is not the gifts that _____ me deeply but the great love shown by my friends.
A. move B. moves C. moving D. to move
此题选B。
让我深深感动的不是礼物，而是朋友们的大爱。
“not…but”意思是“不是……而是……”，not后接被否定的内容，but后接被认可的事实，谓语的单复数形式取决于but后面的名词，故选B。此句可变为：It is not the gifts but the great love shown by my friends that moves me deeply.（即常说的“就近原则”）
再如电影I"m No Angel《我不是天使》中的台词，“It"s not the men in your life that counts, it’s the life in your men.” 并不是你生活中的男人有价值，而是你与男人在一起的生活有价值。此句可变为：It"s not the men in your life that counts, but it’s the life in your men. = It"s not the men in your life but it’s the life in your men that counts.
5. I was shocked ____ words after she told me her experiences last year.
A. without B. beyond C. of D. in
此题选B。
她告诉我她去年的经历后，我震惊得说不出话来。
beyond words 难以形容，无法用语言表达；without words 无言，无需语言。eg. My art works give me a chance to communicate with people all over the world without words. 我的艺术作品给了我一个与世界各地的人无需用语言交流的机会。
6. Through the ______ broadcast we can see people are working against time to try to get the trapped girl out ______even if there is only a remote chance.

此题选B。
通过现场直播，我们可以看到，人们正在争分夺秒地工作，试图把被困女孩活着救出来，即使只有一线希望。
living, adj.活着的，一般用于前置定语，eg. living things 生物。
alive, adj./adv. 活着的（地），做形容词时一般用于后置定语, eg. a dog alive一只还活着的狗,be found alive 活着救出来。
live, adj./adv. 现场直播，eg. a live TV show直播的电视节目，be covered live直播。live亦有“活着的”之意，但只能做前置定语，且不能修饰人。eg. some live fish 几条活鱼。
lively, adj. 活泼的，生动的。eg. have a lively sense of humour 有一种活泼外向的幽默感，a lively town 一个热闹的小镇。
7. No matter how busy he was, he always spared at least one hour a week for his kids to ______ information and exchange ideas.
A. give B. gain C.achieve D.share
此题选D。
不管他有多忙，他总是每周至少抽出一个小时陪孩子们，与孩子们分享信息、交流想法。
由题中exchange ideas交流想法可以看出，此题侧重点在于大家彼此交流各自的看法，所以用share分享更符合情境。
8. He put great effort into his work ______ the next three years and finally he made it.
A.in B. for C.over D.to
此题选C。

尽管当时已经50岁了，张健在2001年创造了历史，成为第一个横渡英吉利海峡（此海峡将英国和法国分开）的中国游泳运动员。
“英吉利海峡将英国和法国分开”是客观事实，故用一般现在时。此处用主动，即为The English Channel separates Britain from France.或用被动则为Britain is separated from France by the English Channel.
10.The most important thing, I suppose, teachers should do was ______ the students equally from their first day at school.
A. to treat B. treat C.treated D. being treated
此题选A。
我认为老师应该做的最重要的事情是从学生入学的第一天起就平等对待他们。
句中I suppose是插入语，teachers should do是省略了引导词that的定语从句（先行词the most important thing在定语从句中做宾语，故可以省略引导词that），主句动词是was, 选项A是动词不定式做表语。
11. --- You haven"t returned to the hometown for many years,have you?
--- No. How I wish to go back there again. I can"t even remember how many years ago ____ I last left it.
A. it was that B. was it that C. it was when D. was it when
此题选A。
---你已经很多年没回老家了，是吗？ ---是的，我多么希望能再次回去，我都不记得我上次离开家乡是多少年前的事了。
此题考查强调句It is/was +被强调部分+ that/ who +其它。句中remember后面是宾语从句，how many years ago表时间，此处起到宾语从句引导词的作用；宾语从句要用陈述语序，故排除B和D。此处强调句即：It was (how) many years ago that I last left it.

这是个含有省略成分的并列句，其完整形式为：Miss Jones is the strictest teacher I’ve ever seen, but (she is a teacher who/ that) all the boys and girls like best because of her patience and kindness.代替a teacher只能用one，故选C。
13. --- Are you sure ______ or not we can start off tomorrow? --- It all _____ .
A. that; depends B. if; depends on
C. whether; depends D. why; depends on
此题选C。
---明日我们能否出发？ ---看情况而定。
“whether or not”是否，是固定搭配，whether不能用if代替。“It (all) depends.”看情况再说，后面不接宾语；若要接宾语，则用“depend on”。
14. This is what you call a wonderful room, isn’t it? Both the door and the window ______ open.
A.won"t B.can’t C.needn"t D.mustn’t
此题选A。
这就是你所说的很棒的房间，对吗？门和窗户都打不开。
will/would“怎么都会；无论如何都会”，eg. Accident will happen.天意难测（即：意外无论如何都无法避免）；同理，won’t/wouldn’t “怎么都不”，eg. The watch won’t work. 这只表无论如何也不走。 They wouldn"t even give it a try. 他们甚至连试一下都不肯。
