he
planted the tree in the corner behind his house, where no one else could notice it. But the tree

On September 25, 1926, the Ford Motor Company started a five-day, 40-hour work week
for its factory workers. Although Ford wasn't the first to do this, it was one of the most important
in history.
At first, this decision didn't make many other business owners pleased. Some of the owners
believed that giving the working men any time off only allowed them to spend more time on wine.
They were correct in a way because drinking was a real problem at that time. But, to be honest, if
第3 页，共8 页
you had to work 14 to 16 hours per day, 6 days per week, you might drink too much.
Ford said in his company's newsletter, "Just as the eight-hour day opened our way to
success in America, the five-day work week will open our way to a new age." Ford understood
that a five-day work week with eight hours of work, eight hours of recreation (娱乐), and eight
hours of rest would encourage working people to shop on the weekends. People with more free
time would need more clothing, eat more food, and it would be possible to be in the market to
buy a car for travelling.
In addition, Ford also found that happy workers meant better and more efficient workers.
Ford wished his workers to produce more in those shorter working hours, but with the higher pay
and weekends off, it received welcome from all its workers. As Ford got better results from fewer
work hours, soon factories all over the world followed Ford's example, even today.
（1）（2 分）Factory workers in the Ford Motor Company began to work ____ hours
altogether per week in September, 1926.
A. 48
B. 30
C. 40
D. 38
（2）（2 分）Many other business owners didn't like the idea because they thought workers
would spend their free time ____ .
A. travelling
B. eating
C. shopping
D. drinking
（3）（2 分）According to Ford, a five-day work week with eight hours of work brought a lot
of benefits(好处). Which of the followings is NOT mentioned in the article?
A. People exercised more often.
B. People bought a car to travel.
C. People shopped more.
D. People ate more.
（4）（2 分）The underlined word "efficient" means ____ .
A. making fewer things in longer hours
B. making as few things as before
C. making as many things as before
D. making more things in shorter hours
（5）（2 分）The article mainly tells us ____ .
A. how Ford stopped workers from drinking
B. how the five-day work week became popular
C. how factories followed Ford's example
D. how workers spent their weekends

参考答案
一、选择题（共10 题，共20 分）
1.【答案】D
【解析】考查年龄的英语表示方式。句意为“活到老，学到老。Karl Marx 在他五十几岁的时候才
开始学习英语”。在某人几十岁的时候用in sb.’s + 基数词的复数形式，故选D。
【来源】2014 广东省中考真题29
2.【答案】B
【解析】本题主要考查分数。
英语中分数的表达方式是用基数词表示分子，序数词表示分母，当分子是1 时，分母用单数形
式，当分子大于1 时，分母用复数形式。根据题意，要求选出数字最大的。one third 意为“三分
之一”，two thirds 意为“三分之二”，a half 意为“二分之一”，a quarter 意为“四分之一”，
所以最大的数是“三分之二”。
故正确答案为B。

3.【答案】C
【解析】本题主要考查序数词。根据题意，在“我”15 岁生日时，父亲给“我”买了一辆新的自
行车。此处应该用序数词来表达“第几个生日”，fifteenth
意为“第十五个”，符合题意。
five
意为“5 个”，fifteen
意为“15 个”，均为基数词，不符合题意。故正确答案为C。
【来源】2014 吉林省中考真题31
4.【答案】D
【解析】考查序数词。句意：——根据最近的一份调查显示，我们班四十五个同学中有三十五个
在火灾发生时，首先要救出他们的手机。——大约四分之三的学生做出了这种选择？生命更重要
得多，不是吗？A. half 半，一半；B. one third 三分之一；C. two thirds 三分之二；D. three
quarters 四分之三。35÷45=0.777…… 与四分之三接近，故选D。

5.【答案】B
【解析】本题主要考查固定搭配。
根据题意，“我们”年级的学生数目是300 人。hundred 意为“百”，“基数词+ hundred”表示
“几百”，确切数量；“hundreds + of”表示“成百上千的”，数目不确切，后必须接可数名词
复数。空格前有基数词three，后不能加hundred 的复数和of。因此排除A、C、D 项。
故正确答案为B。

第5 页，共8 页
6.【答案】C
【解析】考查数词的用法。句意：——妈妈，昨天晚上我制作的那个美丽的卡片就是给你的四十
岁的生日礼物。——噢，谢谢你，我的宝贝。forty 四十；fourteen 十四；fortieth 第四十；fourth
第四。one's+序数词+birthday，某人多少岁生日。结合句意，故选C。

7.【答案】C
【解析】本题考查固定搭配。句意：成千上万的人们观看火箭升入太空。hundred，thousand 和
million 这些词不与具体数字连用，而是表示不确定的泛指数时，则不仅要用复数，而且要后接介
词of，然后才能接名词。故选C。

8.【答案】D
【解析】根据two 只能用复数，排除A 和B，而再由名词ride 知道应该用所有格来修饰，排除
C。故选D。
【来源】2018 年重庆市中考英语试题（B 卷）；2018 重庆市中考真题
9.【答案】D
【解析】考查序数词。根据“Meimei is going to be an older sister.” （Meimei 要成为姐姐了）
可知这个家庭已经有一个孩子了，所以下文“Her parents are planning to have their ____
child. ”应该是再要一个，即第二个孩子，序数词+可数名词单数，所以应该用序数词，应该用
second，故选D。

10.【答案】C
【解析】句意：——你们口渴吗？——是的，请给我们三瓶水。water 为不可数名词，不可数名词
的数量可以用适当的单位量词作单位来表示，结构为“数词+单位量词+ of +不可数名词”。bottle
是可数名词，所以三瓶水应表达为three bottles of water，故选C。
