笔试部分
I. (A) 句子填空
句子填空题对学生来说是难度较大的一种类型,在很多情况下是因为词汇量的欠缺,所以,词汇积累是解题的关键。
句子填空题主要考查高频词汇、动词时态问题、非谓语动词(动词不定式、动名词、现在分词和过去分词)及固定搭配。解题时一要看好句型定类型,仔细观察题干,尽力弄清句子结构,是简单句还是复杂句,分清句子成分。若考查谓语动词,就从时态方面入手,由时间状语、关键词、上下文及句子的意思来确定动词时态;二要仔细观察抓关键词,这些关键词是解题的“钥匙”。抓住关键词我们就能顺藤摸瓜,得出正确结论;三要查漏补缺再检验,注意书写。注意所填写的内容要做到符合英语的表达习惯、符合句子的意义要求、符合语法规范、注意单词的拼写,注意大、小写字母的写法。

31. This dress is too large for me. Please show me ___ /??n???/.
34. Yesterday we had a ___ (討论) about after-school activities.
【答案及解析】
31. another。此题是根据音标写单词,这道题主要考查同学们的语音和词汇知识,如果读不出来,那么就一定答不出此题,这就要求大家一定要在平时重视语音知识。
34. discussion。通过前面的不定冠词a可以判断此处应该填写一个名词,初中阶段表示“讨论”的名词应该是discussion。
(B) 单项选择
语境是开启单项选择题的“钥匙”。单项选择的命题方向正朝着语境化方向发展,即所给的选项往往填入空格处句意都可说通,我们只有通过对具体的语境加以分析,注意前后意义的联系才能得出正确答案。习惯搭配是解答单选题的捷径。单项选择题常会涉及一些英语固定短语、固定结构及习惯用法等,对此类题我们可以在理解句意的基础上,根据习惯表达方式直接选出答案。关键词是单项选择题的解题突破口。有些单项选择题在题干中含有一些有利于我们解题的关键词,抓住这些关键词会使我们的问题迎刃而解。近义词是单项选择题的“拦路虎”。英语中的近义词辨析题很多,这也是同学们常感到较难的一类题。做此类题的准确率在于我们平时对它们用法的区分,我们应学会区分近义词。

39. —I lost my textbook and I cant find ___ anywhere.
—Here are some. Just take ___, please.
A. it; it B. it; one C. one; it D. one; one
41. Yesterday was Helens ___ birthday. She is ___ now.
A. fifteen; fifteen-year-old B. fifteen; fifteen-years-old
C. fifteenth; fifteen year old D. fifteenth; fifteen years old
【答案及解析】
39. B。此题考查代词的用法。说话方说丢失了“教科书”,无法找到“它”,因为是单数名词,所以应用it來指代前文提到的事物,此处应填it;应答方说:“这有一些书,请拿一本吧”,此处的“一本”是泛指,用one代替即可。
41. D。此题是考查数词的用法。句意:昨天是海伦的第十五个生日。她现在十五岁了。“第十五”用序数词;“十五岁”有两种表达方式:fifteen-year-old和fifteen years old。
(C) 篇章改错
篇章改错题是一种集知识与能力考查于一体的题型,着重考查考生的识别能力、分析能力和综合运用能力。首先,要审清题目要求,按要求作答,以免发生不必要的失误;其次,在掌握全句大意的基础上,根据不同的情况,用所掌握的语法、词汇知识为标准,具体排除干扰,判断、找出错误。

The 38 cube houses in Rotterdam, Netherlands 46. were world-famous. Apart from their shape, what is strange about 47. they? Well, they are at a 54° angle (角)! So how to place the furniture is a problem. The houses arent very big 48. and theyve got three floors. Theres a living room and a kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. There is 49. not place for cars. Some people have got a garden on the third floor and there are great views of the city. Its easy 50. visiting the Cube Houses. Visit the Show-Cube Museum. Its fun!
【答案及解析】
46. are。此句是陈述一个客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语是cube houses,所以要用are。
47. them。about是介词,介词后要用代词的宾格形式,所以要将they改为them。
48. but。此处考查连词的用法,两个分句之间是转折关系而非并列关系。
49. no。表示“没有……的位置”应用there is no place for...,not改为no。
50. to visit。此处是一个固定句型:Its + 形容词 + (for sb.) + to do sth.。
II. 句式转换
句式转换是初中学生必须掌握的技能之一,也是各种测试必不可少的题型之一。句式转换主要有三种形式:1. 按要求转换句型;2. 对划线部分提问;3. 同义句转换。这种题型主要考查考生对重点短语和基本句型的掌握情况和应变能力,它可以起到练习考生发散思维的作用。

51. They had to stay in the classroom the whole morning. (改为否定句)
They ___ ___ ___ ___ in the classroom the whole morning.
53. Susan learns Chinese by watching Chinese language videos. (对划线部分提问)
___ ___ Susan learn Chinese?
【答案及解析】
51. didnt have to stay。题目中的had to是have to的过去式,改为否定式应为didnt have to。
53. How does。题目中划线部分是表示方式的短语,就此类划线部分提问,疑问词应用how,时态为一般现在时,所以答案为How does。
III. 补全对话
补全对话的形式是给出一段对话,在其中留有一定的空格,要求我们在空缺处填入适当的句子。针对此类补全对话题,我们解题时需注意对语境的理解,并同时注意英语语言的习惯表达方式。
