When he grew up,he became a volunteer in a local rescue team himself.After a terrible earthquake in Turkey and Syria this year,he flew there to join the rescue operation.In six days,his team helped save nine survivors.“I grew up listening to Lei Feng’s stories.He is an extraordinary young man who made great effort to help others without caring about his own losses.”said Zeng.He learnt that goodwill（善念）is universal,beyond languages and borders.Sixty years on,the hero soldier remains a role model in China.The goodwill to help others can always be found among ordinary people.26．What is the similarity between Gan Yu’s and Zeng Qiangfei’s experiences?A．They used to experience the floods.B．They have the goodwill to help others.C．They rescue people in trouble as volunteers.D．They received

that someone is crossing a line with them,it’s difficult for them to express that the situation is making them uncomfortable.For this reason,teens need to learn how to set boundaries（界限）with others.Although boundaries are different for everyone,they help teens set limits（限制）with others in order to protect themselves.Setting boundaries allows teens to communicate with other people about what is OK and what is not OK with them,and it is essential for teen friendships.Explanation of BoundariesBoundaries are limits teens set in order to protect themselves in some way from being hurt or bullied.As an expression of self-worth,boundaries let other people know who they are,what they value,and how they want to be treated.In addition,boundaries help to create space between teens and other people when they need them.Importance of BoundariesLearning how to set boundaries is an important part of growing up.It’s also essential to develop relationships that are respectful,supportive,and healthy.Unfortunately,many teens have trouble setting boundaries with their friends.When this happens,it puts them at risk for everything from unhealthy friendships to bullying.Setting boundaries with other people not only helps keep teens safe but also help protect their mental health.Being in an unhealthy relationship has a number of bad results.If teens have people in their lives such as unkind friends,a controlling partner,or an adult that makes them feel uncomfortable and disrespected,they need to consider setting boundaries with those people.________In fact,teens will run into a number of different situations throughout their life that challenge their values and their beliefs.Knowing how to set boundaries can help them stay safe and be true to who they are.Here are some tips for setting boundaries:●Identify their feelings.●Trust their gut.●Identify their unacceptable behaviors.●Know about the risks of not setting boundaries.33．According to the passage,which of the following is a good example of setting boundaries?A．Jerry refused to communicate with parents and friends.B．A boy aged14talked about his hobby with his best friend.C．Kelly asked Agony Aunt for help when she was in trouble.D．You let your friend know how you wanted to be treated politely.34．What is the advantage of setting boundaries?A．Showing respect to parents.B．Reducing space with others.C．Knowing the value of friends.D．Building up healthy relationships. 35．Which sub-title should be put in the blank“________”?A．Ways of Setting Boundaries B．Learning about BoundariesC．The Influence of Setting Boundaries D．Different Situations throughout Teens’Life36．Which part of the newspaper is the passage most probably from?A．Quiz Time.B．Topics in Focus.C．Mind Station.D．Scientific Study.NEW science themes each week.This year,campers will have and fun activities.Science and NatureLive AnimalsRobotsD．By stopping kids from attending the camp with brothers or sisters.五、短文首字母填空阅读下面短文，并根据短文大意及所给单词的首字母写出所缺单词。

He noticed some organizations take extra（额外的）food from markets and give it to local food banks.Zach decided to start his own group in his neighborhood.He called the group Fruit For All.To make Fruit For All successful,Zach needed volunteers and trees full of fruit.Zach asked community members to call him and tell him whether they had trees with extra fruit.At first he had difficulty in finding people who wanted to give the fruit.But as the news of Zach’s idea spread,some people got in touch with him.Soon,Fruit For All was really “growing”!With the help of his brother Jackson and other volunteers,Zach has given more than 70,000pounds of fruit to local food banks.The group usually works on weekends,and the volunteers travel as far as20miles from Zach’s house.The volunteers totally collect about 500pounds of fruit each weekend.“It is because of the efforts and cooperation of our partners that we can do this.”Zach said.Fruit For All also has a website that encourages people to help.Visitors to the website will learn three ways they can get involved.For busy people,they can allow volunteers to pick fruit from their trees.For those who have free time,they can volunteer to pick fruit.And people can also start a Fruit For All group in their area.What’s more,people can ask Zach different questions on the website.With the help of groups like Fruit For All,more people are able to enjoy delicious freshfruit every day.If you feel the same way as Zach,don’t hesitate（犹豫）to help more people eat fresh fruit.Fruit For All is waiting for you!26．What was the problem Zach faced after he started Fruit For All?A．No place to store extra fruit.B．Lack of time to transport fruit.C．Few people were willing to give fruit.D．Few volunteers joined the group. 27．Fruit For All has succeeded mainly because________.A．Zach has extremely good leadership B．the workers have enough time to work C．the website provides the latest information D．the workers work hard andcooperate well28．How can busy people help Fruit For All?A．By asking other people to become volunteers.B．By starting a group in their own neighborhood.C．By allowing volunteers to pick fruit from their trees.D．By helping collect fruit from people who have extra fruit.29．What’s the main purpose of the passage?A．To call on people to grow fruit.B．To tell people not to waste fruit.C．To make an advertisement for Fruit For All.D．To call on people to join Fruit For All.One way you can tell if an animal is sleeping is by studying its brainwaves.When human beings or other mammals（哺乳动物）fall asleep,the pattern of their brainwaves changes.Mammals’brains are different from fish’s brains.Humans and other mammals have complex（复杂的）brains.A fish’s brain is much less complex than a mammal’s brain.A fish’s brainwaves don’t change when the fish is asleep.This means that we can’t tell if a fish is sleeping by looking at its brainwaves.Although fish may not sleep like people,they do rest.One way to tell if a fish is resting is to watch what it is doing.Most fish will slow down when they are resting.If you have ever had a pet fish,you might have noticed that it will rest near the bottom of the tank for a few hours every night.When the fish rests,it makes very small movements to keep itself in one place.Another way to tell that a fish is resting is to watch how it reacts to things that happen toThein the center of They wear roller Skate?Tell us!A．B．C．D．40．Who feels angry about Friday Night Skate?A．Roy and Rick.B．Rick and Mike.C．Mike and Zoe.D．Zoe and Roy.四、阅读还原5选5such as spading,lifting,and tilling can strengthen and tone your muscles,providing you with good anaerobic（无氧的）d exercise has been shown to decrease anxiety and depression.So does gardening.Its effect on reducing anxiety and depression is evident,too.A．But few people can realize the effect of it.B．Making bed every morning can raise productivity.C．It looks like relaxing,but the intensity is quite high.D．It may be because choosing healthy food in a messy kitchen is harder.E．The following four benefits of doing housework might change your mind.五、短文首字母填空六、完成句子七、材料作文参考答案：1．B2．C3．D4．B5．D6．C7．A8．C9．C10．A 11．A12．B13．C14．C15．A【导语】本文讲述了农民组织的一场狗和兔子的比赛。

That way there will be tall, healthy tomato vines (藤) when August 4 ”“How do you make sure 5 they can grow tall and healthy?” Jim asked.“The vines grow strong 6 you give them care and attention,” His father laughed.When Jim was free, he managed 7 his father with the tomato plants. He spent one whole day 8 wooden sticks into the ground where he planted the young tomatoes. After the tomato vines had grown taller, Jim tied the tomato vines to the sticks 9 so that they would not fall over.“The tomatoes certainly need a lot of attention!” Jim said one late afternoon.“Most valuable things do require a lot of attention, Jim. So we 10 pay close attention to things 11 make our lives better.”“I know you pay attention to Mom,” said Jim.“Yes,” replied his father, “both to you and Mom because you two make 12 life more beautiful.”The rest of Jim’s work that day went by 13 quicker. Jim imagined the tomato plants that he looked 14 were like his mom and dad. With a little bit of family magic and a lot of attention, Jim was certain these would be the best tomatoes that he had seen. 15 amazing!Life is just like the tomato vine.

In the morning light, I could see the shadows that were etched (蚀刻) deep within the lines around his eyes.Each morning I walked this route with my daughter to her school. We were new to the neighborhood so I didn’t know many of my neighbors. On one beautiful autumn morning, as we passed his house, my daughter called out to him, “Hi, Mr. Man!” Always the outgoing child, I wasn’t surprised at her enthusiasm (热情). But her cheerfulness soonfadedwhen the man didn’t look at her and say “Hi” back.As we continued on our walk to school, my daughter asked why the man didn’t want to say hi to her. Because I didn’t have an answer, I said simply, “Maybe he is having a bad day.” Later I knew that Bob lost his wife in a car accident.A few days later, as we approached Bob’s house on our way to school, my daughter called out “Hi, Mr. Man!” and as usual, he didn’t answer. But then she ran onto his front garden and picked up a beautiful red autumn leaf. She continued up one step and handed it to him. I held my breath.As she skipped back to me, she said, “See you tomorrow, Mr. Man!” This time, he made a reply. In a soft gentle voice, he thanked her and said, “See you tomorrow.”From then on, Bob and my daughter exchanged greetings each morning. Our friendship with Bob continued for many years. But, the sweetest day was when Bob attended my daughter’s high school graduation. Bob gave my daughter a gift—a book on recognizing various plants and trees. There, collected in the pages that described an oak tree, was the leaf my daughter had given to Mr. Man when they met. He had dried and pressed it and kept it all these years.26．What puzzled the girl?A．The cause of the man’s sadness.B．The shadows in the man’s eyes.C．The man’s sitting still on the steps.D．The man’s not answering her greeting.27．The underlined word “faded” in paragraph 2 probably means ________.A．continued B．improved C．increased D．disappeared28．How did the writer feel when her daughter gave the red leaf to the man?A．She was nervous about what would go on.B．She was proud of her daughter.C．She felt happy to see the changes of the man.D．She felt it strange to do so.29．Why did Bob keep that little red leaf?A．It was a reminder of his painful days.B．It stood for the girl’s coldness.C．It was care and kindness from the girl.D．It showed his rich knowledge of trees.Cultures across the world have different ways for people to greet one another. In New Zealand, they bump noses! The goal of these actions is to make others feel welcome. However, some people would rather say hello orally. They don’t like being touched. Neither does the sensitive plant. Some people keep the sensitive plant as a houseplant because of its interesting behavior. When you touch the leaves of the sensitive plant, it releases (释放) water from its leaves and stalks. As water runs to the plant’s base, the leaves close and the stalks droop. This causes the plant to look wilted (枯萎)！The sensitive plant draws back from physical contact because it doesn’t want you to touch it, of course! Just like people, this plant sends physical signals that you should leave it alone. This reaction to touch is a defense system. Many animals and insects eat plants, so the sensitive plant learned to move to scare away predators (捕食者). Frightened by the sudden wilting, hungry animals move away to find a different plant to cat. Additionally, wilted plants don’t look mouth-watering. This encourages other nearby predators to look for their dinner elsewhere.If you touch the sensitive plant and it wilts, have no fear! It’s still a healthy plant. After a few minutes, it will send water back to its leaves and stand straight up again. However, it takes lots of time for the sensitive plant to refresh itself.

You’re becoming more independent and making decisions for yourself. You are also learning to take risks and solve problems better. And changes are happening throughout your body, even in your brain.The changes in your brain are influencing how you develop into an adult. Imagine the structure（结构）of your brain is like a big road map. Lots of roads lead to different destinations（目的地）. When you were a child, as you learnt new things, your brain created more and more roads to different destinations. By the time you become a teenager, many different roads lead to the most important places on the map. Now your brain's job is to make that map more efficient.As a result, your experiences as a teenager actually influence the way that your brain develops. If you spend hours playing video games, what skills do you use? You learn to see something with your eyes and respond to it with your hands. As you develop those skills, your brain is making sure that the roads leading to them are especially fast and efficient. So, your video-game playing could be preparing you for a career such as a pilot.This is a great time for you to practice new skills and discover what you're good at and try what you love doing. Go out and try different activities, and stick to them if you think they’re useful. Remember that with everything you do, you’re shaping your brain for the future.37．What happens as children learn new things?A．Their brains make the maps more efficient.B．The structures of their brains are like big road maps.C．Their brains create more roads to different destinations.D．Many different roads lead to the most important places.38．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．Your brain.B．Something you see.C．Your skill.D．Something you learn.39．What’s the writer’s advice for teenagers?A．Teenagers should learn to be more independent.B．Teenagers should work harder and more efficiently.C．Teenagers should play more video games in order to be a pilot.D．Teenagers should experience more and stick to the useful activities.40．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．Making Decisions for Yourself.B．Developing Your Brain for the Future.C．Ways of Changing Your Brain.D．Changes Happening in Your Brain.The Winter Olympics are a major international sports event that occurs every four years. Unlike Summer Olympics, the Winter Olympics feature sports practiced on snow and ice.As early as 1894, the newly-formed International Olympic Committee (IOC) considered ice skating as a possibility for the first modern Olympics which would be held in 1896.In 1911, a member of the IOC suggested that winter sports should be staged as part of the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm. Some opposed the idea. 41 However, World War I broke out in 1914. After 1920, several countries began talking about the possibility of a separate Winter Olympics.The town of Chamonix, in the French Alps, planned to hold a winter sports festival in 1924. 42 A member of the IOC, suggested that the festival should be formally recognized as the Winter Olympics. 43 The festival drew 258 athletes from 16 countries to compete in bobsledding (雪橇比赛), figure skating, hockey, Nordic skiing and speed skating.44 The festival opened with rain and the unseasonably warm temperature turned snow and ice to mud. Then temperature dropped as far as 25 below zero and the mud became ice. 45In 1926, the IOC recognized the Chamonix festival as the first Winter Olympics and decided that the Winter Olympics would be held every four years, just like the Summer Olympics.A．At the same time Paris was to host the Olympics.B．Despite the weather, more than 10,000 people showed up.C．At last, the IOC decided to hold the Winter Olympics in 1916.D．Weather has often been a major story at the Winter Olympics and so it was at Chamonix.E．The IOC didn’t go that far, but did agree that Chamonix could call its festival an “Olympic winter carnival”.五、短文首字母填空请根据短文的内容，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词，并注意使用六、完成句子51．在空闲时间里，我们应该多做运动。

Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll s how you what real flying is!”One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills.

The crow flew after him, making all kinds ofcomments(评价) about his flying. They flew on and on till they co uldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides.

It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. In those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers. Young men, or "stewards" helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers' luggage (行李) but they did not provide food and drinks. But then in 1930, a woman called Ellen Church invented the "stewardess".Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa. She was a different child. She didn't want to work on a farm or marry a farmer—she wanted a more adventurous (冒险的) life. Ellen studied to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. For the next few years she stayed at the hospital but also took flying lessons and got her pilot's license.Ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with Boeing Air Transport. She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man's world. Although women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot. But she had another idea. Most people were frightened of flying because flying was still an unreliable (不可靠的) way to travel. There were often delays (延误), many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick. Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and B.A.T. Agreed.The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. In 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different airlines. The early "stewardesses" had to be under twenty-five-year old, single and slim. When a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. It was hard job and not well paid. They worked long hours and earned $1 an hour.In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. Since the 1970s, "stewardesses" have been called flight attendants. They are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past.56. The last sentence of the first paragraph suggests that _________.A.the word "stewardess" was made up by Ellen ChurchB. Ellen Church was the first woman who flew a planeC. Ellen Church was the first woman who worked on a planeD. Ellen Church was the first woman passenger on a plane57. From the second paragraph, we learn that ________.A.Ellen did not behave in the same way as most as other girlsB. Ellen's family was not rich enough to support her educationC. Ellen was fond of working as a nurse in the hospitalD. Ellen has an unhappy childhood that changed her completely58. The main reason for Boeing Air Transport offering Ellen the job was ________.A.her flying experienceB. her university educationC. her nursing experienceD. her life attitudes59. According to the passage, in the 1940s a woman had to ________ if she wanted to be a stewardess.A.be a nurseB. be marriedC. be a motherD. be young60. The passage mainly talks about _______.A. the background of early flying pilotsB. the experience of flying passengersC. the history of early flight attendantsD. the development of airplanesDBeing able to multitask-- doing several things at the same time--is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle alarger number of electronic products as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give somuch attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.Multitasking also has an effect on young people's performance at university and in theworkplace. When asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive (肯定的) answer. However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers (雇主) feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.61. What does the underlined word "juggle" most probably mean?A. Want to buy.B. Use at the same time.C. Take the place of.D. Search information from.62. In Paragraph 3, the author points out that ________.A. family members do not greet each otherB. family members do not eat at the family tableC. young people get on well with their familiesD. young people hardly communicate with their family members63. What's the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Young people must learn skills for future jobs.B. Young people benefit (获益) a lot from modern gadgets.C. Multitasking is an important skill to young people.D. Multitasking influences young people's development seriously.64. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Young people think multitasking is good for their study and work.B. Employers consider it unnecessary for young people to be taught all over again.C. Educators feel that young people don't need to improve their study skills.D. People from the world of education believe multitasking has a good effect on children's later study skills.65. The author develops (阐述) the passage mainly by ________.A. providing special examplesB. following the natural time orderC. giving out a cause and analyzing (分析) its effectsD. comparing opinions from different worlds五、写作第一节单词拼写66.Look, your shoes are broken.

2023广州一模英语试卷及答案解析全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇12023 Guangzhou First Mock Exam English Test AnalysisHey guys! Did you take the big English test last month too? That Guangzhou mock exam was really hard this year. I'm going to tell you all about the different sections and some of the questions. Maybe it will help get you ready for the next test!The listening part was first, like always. I thought it was pretty tough. There were conversations between people ordering food, buying tickets, and making plans. You had to listen carefully and choose the right picture or answer the questions. One conversation was between a mom and dad deciding what activity to do with their kids on the weekend. I got tripped up on that one because the dad said he wanted to go to the science museum, but then the mom suggested going to the zoo instead. Tricky!Then there were some longer listening passages, like a teacher talking about school rules and a tour guide describing an historic building. Those were hard because there were so manydetails to remember. I tried writing down little notes as I listened to help me. The last listening篇22023 Guangzhou Mock Exam English Paper AnalysisHi everyone! I'm an elementary school student and I just took the 2023 Guangzhou Mock Exam for English. It was pretty tough but I'll share my thoughts on the different sections.ListeningThe listening part had some tricky questions this year. There were conversations between friends making plans, teachers giving instructions, and even a news report about a science event. You really had to pay close attention to get all the details right.One conversation was about two friends deciding where to go for summer vacation. The boy wanted to go camping but the girl preferred staying in a hotel near the beach. There were questions about what each person preferred and the reasons why. It was hard to remember all the reasons they gave!Another conversation involved a mom reminding her son about his chores and schedule for the upcoming week. Therewere a lot of specific details like days, times, and tasks to keep track of. I had to listen very carefully to get those right.For the news report, it was about a new hands-on science museum opening in the city. They described some of the interactive exhibits and shows that would be available. The questions focused on the different areas of the museum and what visitors could experience there.Overall, the listening section required excellent concentration. You had to catch key details from different sources of information. Missing one small thing could lead to getting a question wrong.ReadingAs for the reading, there were some longer passages that took patience to get through carefully. One was about the history and modern Production of silk products in a certain country. It had interesting facts but a lot of descriptive paragraphs to follow.Another reading was more storytelling, a traditional folktale from a particular culture. While it had an engaging plotline, there were some idioms and expressions that could be confusing ifyou didn't recognize them from that culture's style of storytelling.There was also a one-page information sheet all about quirky laws in different places around the world. Some of those law examples were pretty funny but you still had to read closely to clearly understand what each law prohibited or required.The reading questions ranged from identifying specific details and facts to making inferences and determining the author's tone or purpose for certain sections. You really had to read actively and think critically to do well on this part.WritingFor the writing task, we had to write a short story based on some pictures that were provided. The pictures showed different scenes like a boy looking at trophies on a shelf, the same boy kicking a soccer ball, and a player receiving a medal.To build the narrative, we had to make assumptions about the meaning behind each picture and how they all connected in a logical sequence of events. We needed an engaging introduction, descriptive body paragraphs fleshing out the storyline, and a satisfying conclusion to wrap it all up.The challenging part was creating smooth transitions between the different moments depicted in the pictures. We also had to be sure to include sufficient relevant details, adjectives, and imagery to develop the story in a vivid, coherent way.This writing section definitely required strong skills in organizing ideas, using descriptive language, and developing a creative storyline from a set of visual prompts. It was not easy but good practice overall.SpeakingThen there was the speaking section which involved different tasks as well. One task showed a picture related to a certain topic and we had to speak about that topic using the picture as a starting point.For example, one picture showed kids volunteering to do community gardening, so the prompt was to speak about the importance of community service and how it benefits everyone involved. We had to logically organize and elaborate on our key points while directly referencing relevant details from the picture provided.Another speaking task gave us an opinion about something to consider, like "Playing individual sports is more beneficial forkids than team sports." We had to state whether we agreed or disagreed with that opinion, then provide convincing reasons and examples to justify our stance on the issue.The speaking required not just knowledge of vocabulary and grammar, but the ability to think critically, form coherent arguments, provide relevant details, and speak fluidly without too much pausingorfiller words.Overall ThoughtsPhew! That 2023 mock exam covered all the skills - listening, reading, writing, and speaking. There was a good mix of questions testing different abilities like comprehension, inference, analyzing evidence, explaining thoughts, and more.While some parts were pretty tricky, I feel good about the effort I gave and strategies I used, like underlining key words in the listening, reading passages extra carefully, planning out my writing thoroughly, and practicing my spoken responses a few times before recording.I'm sure I made some mistakes here and there, but trying my best is what counts. These mock exams are excellent practice to get me prepared for the real tests later on. I have a clearer sense now of which specific skills I need to continue improving.English is a journey andI'mexcited to keep working hard, learning new things, and having fun with the language alongthe way. Until next year's mock exam! Thanks for reading my thoughts!篇3The 2023 English Exam - A Kid's BreakdownHi everyone! I'm Xiao Ming, a 5th grader who just took the big Guangzhou mock English exam. Boy, was it tough! But I'll do my best to walk you through the whole thing.The exam had different sections testing different skills. Let's start with the listening part. There were recordings of conversations and passages that we had to answer questions about. One conversation was between two friends deciding what movie to watch. The questions asked stuff like what genre of movie they wanted and what showtime they picked. To answer correctly, you really had to pay close attention to all the details they mentioned.Then there were some longer recordings about topics like a school field trip and a kid's science fair project. Those had more questions testing if we understood the main ideas and supporting details. My teacher always reminds us to listen forkey words and not get distracted. Sounds easy, but with the recording going so fast, it was pretty hard!The reading section came next. We had to read some passages and answer comprehension questions, just like we practice in class. One passage was about the history of ice cream, which was kind of fun and interesting to learn about. But man, some of those vocabulary words were super difficult! Words like "indulgence" and "concoction" that I've never even heard of before.The questions would ask things like what certain words meant based on the context, or what the main idea of a paragraph was. To be honest, I kind of got stuck on a few of those and had to take my best guess. The passages got harder towards the end too, with more complex sentences and harder vocabulary.After the reading, we had to write a short essay responding to a prompt. The prompt asked us to write a letter to our future self ten years from now. We had to include details about our current life, hopes and dreams for the future, and any advice we'd give our older self.I made sure to follow the structure we learned - an introduction paragraph stating the main points, bodyparagraphs with supporting details, and a conclusion restating the key ideas. Using good examples and transition words was important too. The hardest part was trying to think of wise advice to give my future self! I wrote stuff like "study hard" and "be a good person," but I'm not sure how inspiring that was.The last part tested our grammar, vocabulary, and usage skills. We had to read sentences with blanks and choose the correct word to fill in the blank from multiple choices. Lots of questions on things like verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, prepositions, and confusing words like their/they're/there. I've always struggled with grammar, so I definitely made some careless mistakes in this section.There were also questions giving us a short paragraph and asking us to fix an error, like an incorrect verb form or a missing article. Those were pretty tricky because you had to read super carefully to catch the mistake. And of course, vocabulary matching where you had to pick the word that matched a given definition.Phew, that's pretty much the whole test in a nutshell! Overall, I felt okay about the listening and writing sections, but the reading comprehension passages and grammar/vocabularyparts were really hard for me. I'm just crossing my fingers that I did enough to pass.My best advice for anyone taking this test is to just keep practicing all your English skills - reading lots of books, listening to songs/shows, writing as much as you can, and studying those grammar rules. The more you use English, the more natural and easy it becomes. Don't be afraid to ask your teacher for extra help too.Well, that's my exhausting experience with the big exam! I'll leave the scoring and analytics of the test to the teachers and experts. As for me, I'm just looking forward to recharging over summer break. Maybe I'll watch an English movie or read some new books to keep those skills sharp. Gotta be ready for more English adventures next year! Let me know if you have any other questions!篇4The 2023 Guangzhou English Exam Was Really Hard!Hi everyone! My name is Xiaoming and I'm in 5th grade. I just took the big English exam for our region and it was super tough. But I studied really hard and I think I did okay. Let me tell you all about it!The exam had four sections - listening, reading, writing, and speaking. The listening part was first. We had to listen to recordings and answer multiple choice questions about what we heard. Some of the recordings were conversations between people, while others were just one person talking.For the conversations, you had to pay close attention to catch all the details about who said what. The hardest one was two friends arguing about which movie to watch. They kept going back and forth and I got a little confused tracking their different opinions.The passages with just one person speaking were mostly easier for me. One was someone giving instructions on how to make an origami bird. As long as I focused, I could follow the steps pretty well. Another one that stumped me was a documentary about wild pandas. It used some really advanced vocabulary that I didn't fully understand.After listening, we moved right into the reading section. This was my favorite part because I love reading! We had all different kinds of passages - stories, articles, advertisements, you name it. My personal favorite was a funny comic strip about a mischievous cat.The articles were a little more hit-or-miss for me. There was one about the history of soccer that went over my head with all the dates and facts. But another one about a kid inventor was really interesting and easy to follow.The questions aboutthe readings ranged from pretty straightforward stuff like "What happened first?" to more complex inferences and author's purpose types of queries. Those are the ones I struggled with the most since you really had to read between the lines.We also had to answer some vocabulary questions based on how certain words were used in the passages. Luckily, my teachers drilled us a lot on those kinds of context clues this year.Next up was the writing section - my personal nemesis! We had two tasks for this part. First was writing an email to a friend about a book we read recently. I picked my favorite book from class, The BFG by Roald Dahl, and did my best to summarize the wacky plot.The second writing was more open-ended. We had to give our opinion on whether kids should have more recess time during the school day. I argued hard that we absolutely should since unstructured playtime helps kids learn better when they go back to class. Hopefully my reasons were convincing enough!The very last part was speaking. We had to answer questions from a test scorer directly and also do a presentation. My questions were about my hobbies and what I like to do for fun after school. I tried to be very specific and detailed by talking about my favorite sports, video games, and other activities.For the presentation, I had one minute to prepare and then talk for around two minutes on the topic of my favorite teacher. I chose my English teacher of course because she's the best! I covered how she always makes lessons fun with games and group work, plus howpatient and caring she is when any of us need extra help.Phew, that's a rundown of the big test! Some parts were easier than others for me, but it definitely challenged me to use all my English skills. I gave it my best effort and I'm just happy it's over with now.My advice for anyone else facing a difficult English exam is: don't panic, review what you've learned, get a good night's sleep, and most importantly, believe in yourself! You've got this!That's all from me. Hope this inside look at the exam was helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.篇5The 2023 Guangzhou Mock Exam: An Elementary Kid's TakeWhew, that Guangzhou mock exam was really something! As an 8-year-old elementary school student, I found some parts pretty tricky, but other parts were a piece of cake. Let me break it down for you section by section:ListeningThe listening part was probably the hardest for me. My little ears had trouble catching all the words, especially when the speakers talked really fast. The conversation about the family trip was okay, but that lecture on photosynthesis totally lost me halfway through! I really need to work on focusing my listening skills.That said, the picture questions where we had to listen and point out the right image were pretty fun. I rocked those ones by using the context clues from the descriptions. Maybe they can make the whole listening like that next year? A kid can dream!ReadingOkay, now we're talking! The reading was my strongest section for sure. I loved the story about the two friends who went camping and got lost in the woods. It reminded me of my own backyard adventures. The vocabulary wasn't too crazy, and thequestions about the main idea and the characters' feelings were straightforward.The other passages about ancient civilizations and environmental protection were a little more challenging though. There were some words I'd never heard of, like "deforestation" and "urbanization." But I tried my best to use context clues and my prior knowledge to figure out the main points.My reading skills still need more practice, but fictional stories are my reading happy place. More fun camping tales please, exam writers!WritingThey really put us through the wringer on the writing this time around. First there was that letter to a friend describing our favorite teacher. Oof, that was hard to organize! I couldn't decide whether to focus more on her personality quirks or why her lessons were so engaging. I probably rambled a bit trying to fit it all in.Then the short essay question about how to reduce waste at school...man, that one really took some brainstorming. I know reducing, reusing, and recycling are important, but putting it allinto a clear main idea and structured body paragraphs was tricky. Transitions are not my forte yet.At least we didn't have to write a whole story this time! My fiction writing needs some serious work. Maybe next year's exam can have us write a fairy tale though? That would be right up my alley as a kid author.GrammarAh grammar, the bane of my English-learning existence. All those rules about verb tenses, subject-verb agreement, articles, and more...it's enough to make my head spin! I've got the basics down okay, but anytime they threw in a very specific grammar point I haven't fully mastered yet, I started second-guessing myself.The sentence correction and fill-in-the-blank sections were rough for me. I'm still shaky on using the perfect tenses correctly in certain contexts. And ranks and possessives? Forget about it! I was totally guessing on most of those.At least with the error identification questions, I could lean on my ear for what "sounds right" to a native speaker. Small victories, right? Grammar will just take lots more practice for this elementary kid.Overall, the 2023 Guangzhou mock exam checked all the skills! Listening, reading, writing, grammar...it was a balanced test of where my English is currently at. Some parts went way better than others, but that's how we learn.There were some questions that felt too hard for kids my age, at least in my opinion. But there were also plenty that let me show off what I know in a fun, engaging way. As long as I work hard and keep exploring awesome English books, music, movies, and more, I'll be ready to knock the next exam out of the park!Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go practice my writing skills by working on the next chapter of my epic novel about crime-fighting hamsters in space...篇6The 2023 Guangzhou Mock Exam English Test - A Kid's BreakdownHi everyone! My name is Xiaoming and I'm a 5th grader here in Guangzhou. A few weeks ago, we had to take the annual mock English exam. Now that I've gotten my score back, I want to share my thoughts on the test with all of you!Overall, I found this year's test pretty challenging but fair. There were some sections that really made me scratch my head, but others that felt just right for kids my age. Let me break it down section by section:ListeningThe listening part had us wear those big headphones and listen to different conversations and passages. I always get a little nervous during this section because you only get to hear each one twice!This year, there were recordings about a brother and sister arguing over video games, a teacher explaining a class field trip, and even one about a talking parrot! Those were pretty fun topics that kept me engaged.My biggest struggle was keeping up with all the details like names, dates, and specific instructions. By the second listening, my brain was spinning trying to catch everything! I definitely need to keep practicing my listening skills.All in all though, the listening questions seemed reasonable for a 5th grader. Maybe a couple were a tiny bit tricky, but nothing too crazy. I'm just glad we didn't have to transcribe full conversations!ReadingAh yes, the reading section - my archnemesis! I find it really hard to concentrate for so many passages in a row. This year there were readings about:A biography of a famous scientistThe history of pokerDescribing the features of a rainforestA short fiction storyYikes, after powering through all of those, my eyes were about to fall out of my head! The questions showed no mercy either, grilling us on vocab in context, making inferences, and identifying writers' purposes.I have to admit, I struggled a bit with the poker one because of all the terminology I wasn't familiar with. But the rainforest passage played nicely into some topics we'd learned about in science class.As much as I huffed and puffed through it, I'll give it to the test makers - they picked some engaging subject matter to keep things interesting instead of just boring textbook stuff.WritingRaise your hand if you love... ESSAYS! Yeah, me neither. The writing task this year was to write a short story about getting lost in the city and how we eventually found our way back.Talk about a panic-inducing prompt! I spent probably 15 minutes just racking my brain about an exciting plot before I could even start writing.Once I shook off the nerves though, I tried my best to construct a dramatic tale complete with vibrant character descriptions, dialogue, a climactic getting-lost scene, and an uplifting lesson at the end. Phew!In my opinion, the rubric for scoring these story writings needs to cut kids a little slack. I poured so much creativity into my story, but then got nitpicked for grammar errors and not following some arbitrary structure. Like okay Mrs. Test Maker, sorry I'm not Shakespeare!At the end of the day though, I was proud of the narrative I crafted and know I did my best.GrammarEvery student's favorite... said no kid ever! This grammar section put us through the ringer with:Verb tenses and subject-verb agreementParallel sentence structure rulesPronoun usageModifiers and tricky word orderI've got to hand it to my English teachers - they definitely prepped us well for this part of the test. While it wasn't exactly a walk in the park, I could see connections between the grammar rules we'd practiced and most of the questions.That said, there were a handful of questions that went into some really advanced grammar concepts that even made me go "huh?!" Maybe it's just me, but I think those could have been scaled back a bit for 5th graders.Overall though, if you've been diligent with your grammar lessons, this section should have been very manageable.Phew! That's my full debrief on this absolute unit of an English test. Was it perfect? No way. Did it make me want to take up basket weaving instead of English? Maybe for a few minutes. But at the end of the day, it did a decent job evaluating where us Guangzhou kids are at with our English skills.My advice to all my fellow students is to just keep studying hard, don't psyche yourselves out, and make sure to eat a goodbreakfast before the test next year! Thinkingabout that listening section is already giving me hunger pains...Let me know if you agreed or disagreed with my thoughts! And stay tuned for my take on the math test...。
