近年来，全国各省市的中考英语试题渐渐体现了新课程标准中的有关精神，在语言测试中渗透文化因素。除题型上不断有所创新外，在命制内容上也吸纳了更广泛的素材，谚语、俚语、习语已成为其中引人注目的一部分。现从内容和题型两方面对2007年全国各省市这方面的中考英语试题予以归纳，供同学们在赏析的同时进一步拓宽视野，多加积累，以适应新的中考。
一、 (2007年河南)单项选择

[key]根据主句中用将来时、从句中用一般现在时的规则，答案为D。
[析]本题中出现的谚语 “When the cat is away,the mice will play .”字面上的意思是“当猫不在时，老鼠就该猖狂了”，但汉语谚语中没有这种说法，其实这句话就相当于“山中无老虎，猴子称大王”。
