2010年重慶語文中考答案
參考評分標准
一、語文知識及運用（30分）
1.C 2．B 3.D 4．（1）特徵 （2）應將「形成」改為「導致」 （3）影響 （4）調查和研究。 5、（1）展館雖小，卻將重慶的雄奇壯美山川，悠久燦爛歷史濃縮在了其中。（2）示例：比喻——重慶館，猶如一顆璀璨明珠鑲嵌在世博園，熠熠生輝；對比、排比——上海夜景甲華夏，香港夜景甲亞洲，重慶夜景甲天下。 6、B 7.（1）「低碳生活」指：以節能的方式，以較低或更低的溫室氣體（二氧化碳為主）排放實現減少碳排放量的目標的生活方式。（2）示例：①今天你低碳了嗎？②低碳生活，讓我們的生活更美好！③節能就是最大的減碳。④低碳 , 讓生活更美好；享受低碳生活,不再被OUT；低碳生活，從我做起；清爽地球靠大家, 低碳走進你我他；溫室效應我不要, 低碳生活我擁抱；節省水電講環保 低碳生活我來造；少坐汽車多行走, 低碳健康我擁有；低碳走進千萬家，節能環保我參加；低碳讓地球解脫苦難。
（3）示例1：「低碳」是一種生活習慣，在提倡健康生活的今天，「低碳生活」不再只是一種理想，更是一種值得期待的新的生活方式。讓我們走進「低碳生活」，為我們的美好生活獻計獻策，共建我們最美好的家園。示例2：低碳，意指較低（更低）的溫室氣體（二氧化碳為主）排放。經濟的發展、人口的劇增、人類慾望的無限上升和生產生活方式的無節制，二氧化碳排放量愈來愈大，世界氣候面臨越來越嚴重的問題，我們不希望2012成為現實。今天，我們真的必須低碳！
二、（一）8．（1）所謂伊人，在水一方 （2）長河落日圓 （3）受任於敗軍之際 （4）雪上空留馬行處，海內存知己 （5）先天下之憂而憂，後天下之樂而樂 （6）落紅不是無情物，化作春泥更護花。 （二）9（1）多 （2）洗滌 （3）長枝節 （4）很少 10（1）我則惟獨喜愛蓮從淤泥里生長出來，卻不受泥的沾染 （2）（只）可以從遠處觀賞，卻不能貼近去玩弄啊。 11. 具有不慕富貴名利、潔身自好的高尚品德的人。（或君子的美好形象：不與世俗同流合污，莊重，質朴，不嘩眾取寵，不炫耀自己，正直不苟，豁達大度，不慕名利，潔身自好。） 12.示例l；蘭花，蘭花無論後於何處都是默默無聞的綻放，默默散發出幽香，具有純朴高雅，不張揚、不媚俗的品質。示例2：梅花，「梅花香自苦寒來」，梅花能凌霜傲雪，展示了逆境中奮進、戰勝困難的精神。示例3：桂花，桂花不僅香氣濃郁，而且可以作為香料，入葯、人茶，有很強的實用價值，自然讓人聯想到無私的奉獻。（由桂冠、月中的桂樹想到桂花的高貴亦可）
三、（一）13．夢想被現實逐漸磨碎；在家門口找到好望角。 14．（1）「詭秘」原指（行動態度等）隱秘不易捉摸。這里指老人的笑中含有深意，隱藏著他的人生的秘密，讓人不解而好奇。（2）用擬人手法寫出了這本小冊子是老人的至愛，在長久的歲月歷程中，小冊子被老人翻得「滿目滄桑」。 15．A. 談起兒子，驕傲的背後是深深的痛，內心深處的疼痛化成外在的「微微顫動」；「深深的吸」和「緩緩的呼」都是內心極度痛苦的一種掩飾行為，表面的平靜折射的是人物內心的不平靜。（能結合3個關鍵詞分析言之成理即可） B.比喻句「院子太大了，像穿了一條肥褲子一樣老是那種鬆鬆垮垮」非常形象生動，這樣的比喻既符合老人的身份特點，又寫出了老人內心那種空盪盪的失落孤獨的感覺。（言之成理即可）
16. 這是一個懷揣夢想多年卻至老也終未實現，歷盡人生滄桑的老人。小時，小學沒讀完，鬼子來了，四處逃難，和爹娘跑散了；解放後，只想把書念成，可書沒讀多少，又遇上了「文化大革命」；老年時，兒子在非洲被當地人給綁了，老婆子攔都攔不住離世了，一個人孤苦伶仃了卻殘生。但苦難沒有把老人打倒。他沒有因為夢想的無法實現和生活中的種種變故而終日消沉低迷下去，老人靠對夢想——「好望角」的堅守和豁達樂觀的人生態度走出了人生的苦難。 17.（言之成理即可）「人生不如意十之八九」，每個生命的歷程都不可能是一帆風順的，我們每個人應該首先意識到這一點。在不如意中能夠活出如意，方法之一就是至始至終保持並去追尋自己的夢想，用夢想來引導自己的行動，用堅守夢想來沖抵苦難的煎熬。
（二）18.「彎腰」就是暫時放下尊貴和體面。「成熟的稻穀會彎腰」是說一個成熟的心智，要善於通過自身的改變，選擇「暫時的放棄」，以彈性和韌性，求得一種更為深刻的生命睿智，從而創造一個全新的自我。 19. 孟買佛學院將「彎腰」作為學生入學的第一課，是要讓學生明白：「很多時候，我們要進入的地方沒有很寬闊的大門，或者，有的大門不是隨便可以進入的。這個時候，只有學會了彎腰側身、暫時放下尊貴和體面的人才能進入，否則你只能被擋在門外。」 20.列舉雪松證明了「重壓之下彎下腰來，為的是不讓自己折斷，為的是往後的日子繼續挺拔向上」的道理後，再舉梧桐的例子，從反面證明「不彎腰被折斷」的道理。這樣的正反對比論證，更全面，更辯證，說服力更強。 21.蟬蛻是為了新生，「有時彎腰就如同蟬蛻」，比喻「彎腰」也是人的一種新生方式，通過「彎腰」這種自身的改變，來創造一個全新的自我。 22.示例：我從來就是一個莽撞之人，眼裡夾不得沙子，對別人「侮辱」之事，非要爭斗得你死我活方可罷休。有一次，一個我經常看不慣的人口出狂言，侮辱我媽。我火冒三丈，提起凳子就像那人砸去，結果將那人砸得鼻血長流。萬幸的是，沒有砸出大問題，現在想來就後怕，如果砸出大事來，後悔的一定是我。這件事讓我看到了自己性格中的莽撞成分，我要改改自己了，要學會彎腰，訓練自己的韌性，磨礪自己的好性格。

A
One cool April 22 morning, people started the day as usual. Yet it was not a normal day. What』s so special about April 22? The answer is simple. It is Earth Day. People all over the world celebrate this important day. The idea of having a special day to celebrate Earth began in the 1960s. Life was very different then. Few people talked or even thought about the environment. Most people had no idea how dirty our air and water were.
On April 22, 1970, twenty million (百萬) Americans joined the first Earth Day activities. They showed that people really did want to do something about the environment. Since then laws have been passed to protect the air, water, land, and animals.
The vehicles such as cars and buses you ride in must pass tests to make sure they don』t cause too much pollution. Thanks to this law, cars today release (排放) about half as many bad chemicals as cars did back in 1970. As a result, the air we breathe is cleaner than it once was.
Rivers and lakes are also cleaner today than they were in the 1970s. It』s a good thing because they needed a lot of help. The Cuyahoga River in Ohio was so polluted that rubbish and oil on the river even caught fire! Today, the river is cleaner. It no longer burns. It』s healthy enough for birds, fish, and other animals.
Now the celebration has spread to other countries. More than 175 countries take part each year.
In 2007, people in China paid much attention to a big problem. People were throwing away 27 million plastic bags a day! People had 「Bye-Bye Throwaway Culture Week.」 They wanted everyone to see how polluted it was to throw away so many plastic bags. In 2008, China passed new laws against them.
Every April 22, millions get together to clean and protect Earth. They also celebrate how far we have come. Our job is to put this knowledge to work. You can help keep our planet healthy too!

B
The Amazon rainforest is home to millions of different kinds of animals, plants, and birds. Most of the world』s fresh water is here and the forest plants clean the Earth』s air every day.
Chico was born near the Amazon town, Brazil, in 1944 and started working when he was very young. Like the rest of his family, the boy got the money by taking a little rubber from the trees in the forest. (The trees are not hurt when the rubber is taken.) The forest and its people lived together comfortably and peacefully.
But some people think too much about themselves and never think about the future. In 1980, the forest was burned to build roads, houses and factories. Chico was angry; he wanted to save the forest! He talked to the government workers, but they didn』t listen to him. They were still clearing the rainforests to make quick, easy money. 「Many voices are stronger than one,」 he thought, so Chico held group meetings. He discovered that hundreds of people agreed with him. His hope grew. More people came together to try to stop the work of the forest clearers. Large areas of the forest were saved. Later he traveled to many other countries for international help. People soon became very much interested in this brave Brazilian. In the next few years Chico』s name became famous all over the world. The government of Brazil started making plans to protect large areas of the Amazon rainforest.
But as Chico』s dreams started coming true, someone stopped him in the only possible way. The famous forest fighter was murdered right outside his home on December 22, 1988. Chico』s life was cut short, but his brave new ideas continued in other people. One man changed the world』s ideas. After his death, people around the world sent money to help Chico』s work.

第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題，每題2分，滿分40分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項,並在答題卡上將該項塗黑。
A
Most people think of racing when they see greyhounds (灰狗) and believe they need lots of exercise. They can actually be quite lazy! Greyhounds are good at fast races but not long-distance running. They do need regular exercise but they like to run for a short burst and then get back on the bed or a comfortable seat. Another misunderstanding is that greyhounds must be aggressive(好鬥的) because they are big in size. In fact greyhounds love people and are gentle with children.
Greyhounds can live for 12 – 14 years but usually only race for two or three years, and after that they make great pets. They don』t need a lot of space, don』t make a lot of noise, and don』t eat a lot for their size.
Normally, greyhounds can be as tall as 90 cm. There is, however, a small-sized greyhound, which stands only 33cm. Greyhounds come in a variety of colors. Grey and yellowish-brown are the most common. Others include black, white, blue, red and brown or a mix of these.

Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station(加油站)about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend's We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day, and the battery(電池)was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership - a shop selling cars - was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
"Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?" I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.
"Thank you" - two powerful words. They're easy to say and mean so much.

A study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign students. It shows that most students considered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by speaking. Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in. Reading remained as a significant(顯著的) problem.
The information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation(動機), we considered it important to note what seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might rece motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may help because it is different.
Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining(保持) or increasing motivation. Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students.

A. different teaching methods should be used
B. grammar-based teaching seems to be encouraging
C. English courses are necessary for foreign students
D. teaching content should be changed halfway.

Since my retirement(退休) from teaching music in 2001, I have spent a good deal of time painting as an artist. I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died, so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father, or maybe it was just that it brought back memories of him. In any case, I drew pen and ink animals and landscapes(風景畫) much influenced(影響) by Krenkel and St. John for five years.
For some strange reason, I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again, but as soon as I walked out of the school door for the last time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth, who quickly became my favorite artist. I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors should look. So I painted landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many other types of painting. However, watercolors remained my first choice, and I think I did my best work there, showing my paintings at a number of art exhibitions.
Art is now together with my piano playing and reading. There is a time for everything in my world, and it is wonderful to have some time doing what I want to do. As Confucious once said, 「At seventy I can follow my heart』s desire.」
