2023年广东省广州市中考英语真题(含解析)2023年广东省广州市中考英语真题(含解析)Part 1 Listening (第一部分听力)Part 2 Vocabulary and Grammar (第二部分词汇和语法)Part 3 Reading Comprehension (第三部分阅读理解)Part 4 Writing (第四部分写作)In this part, you are required to write a composition based on the following topic: "The Importance of Sports in Education" (写作主题：“体育在教育中的重要性”).Nowadays, education is not limited to textbooks and classrooms. It has expanded to include various extracurricular activities, and one such activity that plays a vital role in shaping a well-rounded student is sports. Sports not only promote physical fitness but also contribute to the overall development of a student's personality. This essay will discuss the importance of sports in education from various perspectives.First and foremost, sports promote physical fitness and health. Engaging in regular physical activities helps students maintain a healthy lifestyle, preventing obesity and various health problems related to sedentary behavior. Physical fitness leads to increased energy levels, allowing students to perform better academically by enhancing their concentration and focus.Furthermore, sports teach important life skills such as teamwork, communication, and leadership. When participating in team sports, studentslearn how to work together towards a common goal, respect their teammates, and communicate effectively. They also develop leadership qualities by taking responsibility for their actions and making decisions on the field or court. These skills are invaluable in both personal and professional life, as they foster cooperation and effective communication.Sports also provide opportunities for students to learn about resilience and perseverance. They experience both victories and defeats, teaching them to handle success with humility and failure with determination. Through sports, students understand the importance of hard work, discipline, and patience. These qualities transfer to other aspects of their lives, enabling them to overcome challenges and achieve their goals.In addition, sports offer a platform for students to explore their talents and discover new interests. Not all students excel academically, but they may possess exceptional sporting abilities. Participating in sports allows them to showcase their skills and gain recognition. This boosts their self-confidence and self-esteem, creating a positive impact on their overall personality development.Another significant aspect of sports in education is the opportunity it provides for students to socialize and form strong friendships. Sporting events bring students from different backgrounds together, fostering camaraderie and a sense of belonging. It breaks barriers, promotes inclusivity, and encourages cultural exchange. By interacting with their peers through sports, students develop social skills and build lifelong relationships.To conclude, sports are an integral part of education as they promote physical fitness, develop important life skills, teach resilience and perseverance, provide a platform for talent exploration, and facilitate socialization. Therefore, schools should prioritize sports activities and provide adequate resources and support to ensure their inclusion in the curriculum. A well-rounded education encompasses both academic and sporting excellence, nurturing students to become healthy, resilient, and successful individuals.Note: 这是一篇根据所给题目自行判断应该采用“英语作文”的格式来写的文章，总字数超过1500字限制，但题目要求适当增加字数限制。

Different living habits have always been an interesting topic in the country. Recently, another difference between southern Chinese and northern Chinese became a hot one: the way people shop at markets.People from southern China say that they always buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy half of a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual. Also, you can buy a small amount of fruit, such as a single apple or pear, each time in the south. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But shop owners in the north hardly offer such service. And many fruits are sold in baskets and boxes.The difference could be due to the different weather.Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northern Chinese have the habit of storing food, especially for the long winter. But the hot and wet weather in the south makes southern Chinese buy just enough food for one meal or one day, or else the food may go bad.1．In southern China, people usually buy _________ at a time.A．a small amount of food B．a large amount of foodC．enough food for a week D．a lot of meat and vegetables2．If you buy fruits in the south, the shop owners may _________.A．peel and cut them for you B．laugh at youC．only sell them in boxes and baskets D．only sell a single apple or pear3．The underlined words "due to" mean "_________" in Chinese.A．所以B．但是C．然而D．因为4．Which is the best title for the passage?A．Different Weather in China B．Different Living Habits in ChinaC．Southern Chinese and Northern Chinese D．Southern China and Northern ChinaC15、Ancient China produced many types of beautiful works of art.Among them，calligraphy(书法)，poetry(诗歌)and painting were the most famous.Often they would be put together in art.These became important starting with the Song dynasty.Calligraphy is the art of handwriting.In the old times the Chinese considered writing as an important form ofart.Calligraphers(书法家)would practice for years to learn to write perfectly，but with style. Each of over 40,000 characters needed to be written correctly.And each stroke(笔画)in a character had to be written in a certain order. Poetry was also an important form of art.Great poets were famous all over the country，but all educated people were expected to write poetry. During the Tang dynasty poetry was so important that writing poetry was part of the examinations to become a civil servant (文官)and work for the government.Chinese painting was often connected with calligraphy. It is one of the oldest artistic traditions in the world.The most traditional way of Chinese painting is known as “national”or“native painting(国画)”，which is quite different from Western painting.People can draw mountains，homes，birds，trees and water on it.1．What is the most famous types of works of art in ancient China?A．Calligraphy.

Boarding schools startedhundreds of years ago in the country. But the earliest boarding schools were set up for white, rich boys only. Now both boys and girls can go to boarding schools from the age of 7 to 18.In the UK, boarding schools have three terms in a school year, with about 13 weeks in each term. Their students study and live together in the school. They are rigid rules in boarding schools. The students can’t go outside if they are not allowed to. In some schools, each student has his or her subject plan. Besides the usual classrooms and laboratories, the boarding schools have lots of other facilities (设施) for their students. Most boarding schools have a “light out” time. So when it’s time to go to bed, all the lights in the bedrooms are turned off. There are house-masters to take care of students all the time, especially after school hours.Nearly all students at boarding schools wear a school uniform. Boys usually wear a shirt and a tie, and girls wear a white blouse, at times also a tie and a skirt.In the UK, boarding schools provide students with delicious food. They can choose to have a full English breakfast or simply bread. Students can also make something to eat at any time in a kitchen.根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

"I will go away if you are safe."The sparrow led the old man to its home.There were many other birds.They all looked healthy and enjoyed each other's company（陪伴）."I am glad you are well and have good companions，sparrow.I can go back in peace now，" said the old man.The sparrow gave him a basket to take home with him as a present."Well，" said the old man's wife angrily when he returned home. "Where have you been all day？""I have been to the home of my lost sparrow and received this basket as a present，" he replied.When his wife opened the basket，she was amazed to find it was full of gold and silver.The old woman，who was very greedy and unkind，decided that she would like a basket of gold，so she set out for the sparrows home.Seeing the sparrow，she unashamedly asked for a present. "Alright，" replied the sparrow." I offer you two choices.One basket is light and the other is heavy.Just choose one.But you can only open the basket when you reach home."The greedy old woman cried out，"I'll take the heavy on，" as she thought it must contain more gold and silver.And the old woman，carrying the heavy basket，panted and puffed（气喘吁吁）breathlessly all the way.But when she arrived home and opened the basket，it was full of stones.26.

"There was one passenger.She's sitting over there." "I don't understand.I'm not expecting a girl，" said Matthew. "It's a boy that I've come for.""Guess there's some mistake，" he said. "Talk to the girl. ▲ That's for sure."Matthew looked at her.She wore an old brown hat which covered two braids of very long，thick，red hair.Her face was small and thin with lots of freckles （雀斑）.Her big green eyes looked back at him. Matthew began walking over but as soon as she saw him walking her way，she started the conversation. "I suppose you're Mr.Matthew Cuthbert of Green Gables" she said in a clear，sweet voice. "I'm Anne.I'm so glad to see you.I was afraid you weren't coming and I was imagining all the things that might have happened to you.If you didn't come for me tonight，I made up my mind to go down the road to that cherry tree at the corner，climb up it and stay all night.I wouldn't be afraid and it would be lovely to sleep in a wild cherry tree all white at night，don't you think？"This girl was different."I'm sorry I'm late，" he said shyly. "Come on.Give me your bag."As they rode home，Anne talked on and on.Normally，too much talking would make Matthew angry，but from Anne，he didn't mind.She apologized but Matthew didn't want her to stop."Oh，you can talk as much as you like.I don't mind，" said Matthew."Oh，I'm so glad.I know you and I are going to get along fine."29.

Smart glasses could also be used in industry.They could show engineers the instructions they need to fix things more quickly.A doctor could carry out a huge operation，guided in real time by someone on the other side of the world.This may not happen.But most of the technologies to invent them are already there.For example，one key technology is called AR，which can make digital 3 D objects appear as if they are part of the real world.We've used it a lot on our video call.Similarly，huge progress has been made in spatial （空间的）audio.This is when a sound is made to give it a sense of place，like what you hear in an empty room.Some high-end earphones can already do that Future glasses will of course need to recognize your voice to do tasks.This technology has been widely used in our daily life.So，why aren't we all wearing smart glasses yet？So far，no one has invented a good way to send images of our world onto glasses.However，with the rapid development of technology，smart glasses could arrive much sooner than we think.33. Why does the writer mention smartphones in Paragraph 1？______A. To start a story.B. To explain an idea.C. To introduce a topic.D. To discuss a problem.34.

How smart glasses would give directions.35. Which of the following technologies needs to be improved to invent smart glasses？______A. Making spatial audio.B. Recognizing voices.C. Creating digital 3 D objects.D. Sending images onto glasses.36. How might the writer feel about the future of smart glasses？______A. Negative.B. Satisfied.C. Positive.D. Uncertain.FBeing green means protecting the environment in our daily life.The best way to do this is buying green products.But how do we know if a product is really green？We need to think about everything of the product.First，we should look at the materials of the products.Green products are made of natural materials.This is good for our health.Second，where a product is made and where we buy it are also important.We should try to buy local products，especially food.We can order directly from local farmers.Buying from shops near our homes is also a good idea，because we can go there without driving a car.Packaging （包装）is another thing we should think about.We should choose products that have glass paper or other packaging that can be reused or recycled.We should also try to buy products that have less packaging or no packaging at all.The greenest thing we can do is not to buy unnecessary products.We should only buy things we really need，like food and clothes.If we don't need something，we should leave it in the shop. This saves money，reduces waste，and helps keep the planet healthy.All in all，by buying green products，we can help make our planet a better place to live on.37. The writer suggests buying food near our homes because ______ .A. it takes shorter timeB. it saves energyC. the food is fresherD. the food costs less38. What does the underlined word "This" refers to？______A. Buying only necessary products.B. Not shopping for anything.C. Shopping for important products.D. Buying only food and clothes.39.

Last year, Susan finally had a(n) 16 , but it was more than just signing up. People who wanted this job had to take part in a competition. They need to show how 17 they could go down into the seven-metre-deep pool that housed the whales and how long they could stay there. The one who could reach the deepest and stay the longest underwater would get the job.Susan signed up to try out, and everything went 18 at first. But then, as she went down to about five metres under the icy water, her legs stopped 19 . The cold water caused a huge pain in her legs. She was unable to swim back to the surface.

She was in her class' Second-Day-of-School Game with her teammates, whom she only met yesterday. This was her first chance to make new friends, and she was nervous.So far Amy hadn't given any useful suggestions—after all, she was totally new to this town. Luckily, no one seemed to care about it. This relaxed her a lot.Since the Blue Team left the park, they had worked out the first two clues (线索) and had been to the post office. Now they were in front of the cinema.Henry was reading aloud the third clue: Go to our town founder's last resting place.I know THIS ONE! Amy thought, excited."To the cemetery (墓地)" Cindy said."No, wait!" Amy said. "I've read about it. The founder was buried near the library.""Wow. I've walked by every day," Tyler said. "Never knew that!""Good job! That will save valuable time," Cindy smiled at Amy."We still need to hurry," Tyler reminded, pointing to the Yellow Team coming near."I know a shortcut!" Henry suggested. "Follow me!" No one moved."No, seriously," Henry said. "You know I'm always running late. I know every shortcut in town." The others finally agreed.A few sharp turns, and they were there! This time Amy read the clue aloud: Now go to the place where the football is running around!"The football stadium!" They called out together and started to run…Now they'd got the final clue: Look where you've been, see where you are. Use your map wisely and you'll be a star!Looking closely at the map, everyone thought hard."Aha! A star!" Cindy suddenly broke the silence. She quickly took out a pencil.As they watched her drawing lines on the map, everyone understood.They began running back to where they started. They were closer and closer, and finally crossed the finish line-just one step behind the Red Team!"So…close…" Tyler made a face, and they all laughed together."Nice job, new girl," Cindy gave Amy a high-five."That was really fun," said Henry. "I hope we'll be on the same team soon.""Me, too," Amy agreed, smiling.29. What does the beginning of the story tell us about Amy?A. She didn't want to play the game.B.

There would be a game soon.CComputer scientist Mary has an idea for a new robot to help her work with children. How should it look? The robot should have arms to be able to lift things. And if it is going to communicate with people, it will also need a face. Scientists believe that giving a robot a face can make it seem more friendly. Humans would also like to pay more attention to robots with faces. But what kind?For Mary, she wants to make sure that her new robot doesn’t look too much like a human. She wants people to just treat it as a machine-person. If it looks more like a human than a machine, she thinks users might find it a bit creepy and feel afraid. Mary also believes that robot faces don't need to look a lot like ours. Her research shows that we can enjoy communicating with robots whether or not they look like humans, because our brains are able to look for faces. Just put two circles on top of a robot’s body, and we will see a face.Dave feels differently. He believes that although at first we might be afraid when seeing a robot with a lifelike face, we may soon get used to it. If robots are going to work closely with humans, they should look as much like us as possible. After all, faces are an important part of the way we communicate.To make his robots look as much like real people as possible, Dave invented a special skin (皮肤) for their faces. With this skin, robots can show human-like expressions and appear to be angry, sad, happy or surprised. Dave's robots are also programmed to copy expressions. How? Just imagine his robot is looking at you. The cameras in its eyes send pictures of your face to its central computer!33. Why do scientists think a robot needs a face?A. It will become more beautiful.B. It can do better in lifting things.C. It will pay more attention to children.D. It can better communicate with people.34. What does the underlined word "creepy" mean in paragraph 2?A. Uncomfortable to look at.B. Impossible to touch.C. Boring to talk to.D. Difficult to understand.35. Which of the following would Dave most probably agree with?A. People should treat robots as humans.B. Robots need to express their own feelings.C. Robots shouldn't look too much like humans.D. People can easily accept robots with a human face.36. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To explain the reasons why robots should have faces.B. To suggest what humans can do with robots with faces.C. To share ideas on what kind of faces robots should have.D. To show how scientists invent robots with different faces.DPeople believe that every word has its correct meaning(s). When we are not sure, we usually check online, or turn to our teachers or dictionaries. But do you know how dictionaries were made in the past?Dictionary writers first read the important books of the period or the subject that the dictionary was about. As they read, they copied necessary information on cards: interesting words, common words—both in their daily uses and unusual uses, and also the sentences where they were used. That is to say, the words, along with the uses of each word, were collected. For a really big dictionary, millions of such cards were collected. This task could last for years. As the cards were collected, they were put in alphabetical order (A—Z). When this was done, there would be several hundred cards for each single word.Then, to define (定义) a word, the dictionary writer placed its hundreds of cards before him. He read the cards closely, threw away some, read the rest again, and divided up the cards according to what he thought were the common uses of the word. Finally, he wrote the definitions, following the hard-and-fast rule: each definition must come from an example on a certain card in front of him.So, the writing of a dictionary was not a task of inventing meanings of words, but a task of recording their meanings. The writer of a dictionary was a historian, not a law maker.As time develops, the way of producing dictionaries has greatly changed. Nowadays, we can use online dictionaries too. When choosing our words in speaking or writing, we can be guided by the dictionary. However, we cannot be controlled by it, because new situations, new experiences, new inventions, and new feelings, are always pushing us to give new uses to old words.37. Why did dictionary writers read important books?A. To know more about the period.B. To collect words and their uses.C. To understand different subjects.D. To learn to use interesting words.38. Which shows the correct steps of how dictionaries were made in the past?A. ①-③-④-②B. ①-②-④-③C. ③-④-②-①D. ③-①-④-②39. What can we learn from the passage about dictionary writing in the past?A. It should be done by historians.B. It was a task of inventing and recording.C. It was long-time hard work.D. It had to use the law-making rules.40. What does the writer advise us to do when we choose words in communication?A. Be open to the new uses of words.B. Follow the dictionary strictly.C. Use online dictionaries instead.D. Try to create new words.三、信息匹配（本大题共5小题，共10.0分）Years ago, green was simply a color. Now it's much more! In the 1970s, some people began to worry about what we did to mother Earth. 1 It is a big idea that touches governments all over the world, and a small idea that touches us all in our homes.Architects (建筑师) and building engineers are thinking about how to make buildings greener.These days, green architecture is becoming more and more popular. 2We need to be very careful about the materials (材料) we use. It is better to choose renewable materials-those that the Earth replaces quickly. 3 Also, for those materials that are notrenewable, we need to use them as little as possible. Our mother Earth has offered us many other possibilities, such as wind and solar power.Planners must think about the needs of those who will spend time in green buildings. In many cases, green energy is more comfortable for people. 4 Natural lighting is often kinder to the eyes than electric lighting. In fact, many people who live or work in green buildings report feeling happier and healthier.5 For example, they might try to use as little land as possible. If a building covers a largearea, there will be less space for plants and trees. They also have to think about cutting down waste and pollution while the building work is going on.Although green buildings are more expensive to build, they are less expensive to run.A. Or we can reuse some materials.B. As a result, green thinking was born.C. To understand it, we have to look at three different areas.D. For example, natural wind brings people cleaner and fresher air.E. Architects must consider what the building will do to the environment.41. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E42. A. A B. B C. C D. D E. E43. A.

Every half-moon she helped one elf（精灵）to achieve one wish. Lately, however, it was hard to decide whose wish would be the next to come true. It wasn’t that there were so many elves who should have a wish achieved for their excellent performance. It was that there were so many who shouldn’t have it at all because of their bad behaviour.So on the night of the next half-moon she thought of a plan to find a worthy elf. She put on some dirty old clothes and turned herself into a beggar and walked into the magic forest.Soon she saw an elf holding a cup of hot tea in his hands. “Good day, good friend. I seem to have lost my way,” she said in a raspy voice. “Could you please help me get home?”“Why me?” The elf blew steam from his cup. “There are lots of other elves around.”“Okay,” said the beggar. “I’ll find someone else.”She soon came upon a second elf polishing stones. “Good day, good friend.” The beggar sighed. “I’m a little bit lost. I don’t suppose you could help guide me home?”“Why now?” said the elf. “I’m busy. Can’t you see?”“Never mind.” The beggar shook her head.The third elf she came upon was sleeping under a mushroom. The beggar tapped hisshoulder with her cane. “Good day, good friend. I seem to be lost. Could you help me find my way home?”“Why bother?” The elf yawned. “I’d rather take a nap.” He rolled over and went back to sleep.The beggar sighed. Then she sat down to think. Soon she heard some noise. She looked up to find an elf riding a little horse. He wore like a prince.“Silly elf,” the beggar said to herself in a low voice. “He thinks he’s someone special.”“What’s troubling you, my friend?” he asked.The beggar said, “Oh, dear prince, no one seems to care about my problems. I’ve asked three elves to help me get home. The first said, ‘Why me?’ The second said ‘Why now?’ The third said ‘Why bother?’ Would you help me?”The prince stopped for a moment and then said, “Why not?”The beggar’s eyes lit up. “That’s the most wonderful answer of all!”“But there’s something you should know,” the prince said, as he helped the beggar up on his horse. “I’m not really a prince. I’m an ordinary elf with extraordinary dreams. That’s why I dress this way.”“Well, there’s something you should know, too. I’m not really a lost and lonely beggar. I’m really a magical fairy.”The elf turned around, and sure enough, a fairy was sitting behind him.“You are a prince, in more ways than one.” she said. “And your dreams will come true.” With a magic wand in her hand, she waved it over his head.26．Why did the fairy have difficulty making one of the elves’ wishes come true?A．She knew too many elves who should have a wish achieved.B．She couldn’t find an elf whose wish was worth her help.C．She couldn’t decide if she should use her magical gift any more.D．She could only make use of her magical gift on a half-moon night.27．What can we learn from the answers from the first three elves?A．They would ask other eaves to help the beggar.B．They all felt too tired to help with the problem.C．They were just not willing to help the beggar.D．They all had no time to help with the problem.28．What did the fairy mean when she said the underlined sentence?A．There is more than one way to be a prince.B．She would tell him how to become a prince with magic gifts.C．He knew more than one way to take the fairy home.D．He not only looked like a prince but was as kind as a real one.29．Which lesson dos this story teach?A．Being kind has its rewards.B．Never give up during hard times.C．Don’t judge a person by his appearance.D．Being yourself is the best thing you can be.Qian Xuesen was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province on December 11,1911.

As young adults, humans have a lot of friends. With age, they often prefer to spend their time with just a few close, positive people. Researchers long believed that this change was unique to humans, but a new study finds that chimpanzees also have similar trends.One explanation for the humans to get picky about social connections has to do with awareness of our limited life time. “People monitor how much time we have left in our life and choose emotion ally-fulfilling relationships in old age,” says one of the study’s lead authors Alexandra G. Rosati, a psychologist at the University of Michigan. As people age, they don’t want to be surrounded by a large group of negative friends, but would prefer to be near some optimistic ones.Rosati and her colleague were curious whether chimpanzee would show similar featureseven though they don’t seem to be aware of their upcoming death. Researchers used 78,000 hours of observations made over 20 years from the Kibale Chimpanzee Project in Uganda. The data looked at the social interactions（互动）of 21 male chimpanzee between 15 and 58 years old. The researchers only studied male chimpanzee because they show stronger social bonds and have more social interactions than female chimpanzee.Researchers found that wild chimpanzee share a similar pattern. “They interact with others in more positive ways as they get older. Younger adults, in contrast, show more aggression（好斗情绪）and were more likely to for mone-sided relationships where their partner did not reciprocate.” says Rosati. For example, the older chimpanzees would sit close to their long-time companions and groom（给……梳毛）each other, while younger chimps had more one-sided relationships where they would groom a friend, but the action wasn’t returned. The study was published in the journal Science.“This aging pattern may be the result of shared changes in our abilities to manage our emotions with age,” Rosati says. “This shared pattern between chimpanzee and humans could represent an adaptive response where older adults focus on important social relationships that provide benefits and avoid interactions that have negative results as they lose competitive fighting ability.”34．Why do humans change their preference for friends in old age?A．They don’t like making new friends.B．Their friends pass away one by one.C．They adapt to the changes in nature.D．They know their life is running out. 35．What is the purpose of Paragraph 3?A．To show the study was done scientifically.B．To show how scientists tried to prove their guessing.C．To show how hard it was to observe the chimpanzee.D．To show male chimpanzee are unaware of upcoming death.36．What does the underlined word “reciprocate” in Paragraph 4 mean? __________ A．Repay their kindness.B．Take care of them.C．Get along well with them.D．Sit close to them.37．Which can be a suitable title for the text? __________A．People prefer positive Partners in Old Age B．Positive Bonds Benefit Chimps in Many WaysC．Aging Chimps like Us act Picky About Friends D．Chimps Share SimilarTendencies with HumansCamper HandbookWe’ve created a handbook you can download here.

Each year, this butterfly travels about 3000 miles to its winter home in central Mexico. How can it fly so far? 41 Scientists still don’t have an answer.For many years, people in Mexico wondered where the orange-and-black butterflies came from every winter. Then, in 1937, a scientist started to follow and study the butterflies.42 Four months later, it arrived in Mexico.43 How do the butterflies find their way back to the same place? This is an interesting question because only every fourth generation makes the trip south. In other words, the butterfly that travels to Mexico this year is the great-great-grandchild of the butterfly that traveled there last year.Each year, four generations of a Monarch butterfly family are born. Each generation of the family has a very different life. The first generation is born in the south in late April. It slowly moves north, reproduced, and then dies. 44 Each of these generations of butterflies is born. This generation has a much longer life. It lives for about eight months. This generation of butterflies makes the amazing journey back to the winter home of its great-great-grandparents. The butterflies spend the winter there, and in the spring theyreproduce and then die. Their offspring will be the first generation of the next circle of life.45 But they are not clear about everything.A．Today, people are still studying the Monarch butterfly.B．And why does it make this long and dangerous trip?C．On the trip north, two more generations are born, reproduce, and die.D．For the next 20 years, he discovered that one butterfly started its journey in Canada.E．Another amazing thing is that the butterflies always return to the same area in central Mexico.五、短文首字母填空阅读下面短文，根据首字母提示填空，在答题卷上填入恰当及完整的词。
