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。

（A）For his eleventh birthday, Lin was given a gift that would shape his life. On that day his father took him to the Children’s Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement: Lin would have to promise to study it for at least one year.To that point Lin had had many hobbies, but none kept his interest for more than a week or two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted a week. Then his father got him some paints hoping that Lin's artistic side would shine through. Those paints were now under his bed, still unopened. This time Lin’s parents would let him decide.Lin's eyes moved down the noticeboard that listed all the courses on offer. He stopped at"Photography". He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera. Although Lin's family weren't poor, they weren’t rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking.The next course to catch his eye was "Language Art". He didn’t even know what that meant. His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Lin, a shy boy, could think of nothing worse.Then he saw it. "Cooking" sounded like something he'd like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient, it could be done alone and it was also creative.Based on Lin’s hobby history, his dad had doubts, but he agreed. Much to his parents' surprise, Lin kept his promise. He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday, and practised at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Lin got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others.The months turned to years but his hobby never changed again.Now Lin is an adult and runs a successful restaurant. When customers say they enjoy his meal, he still gets the same pleasure he did as a child, and remembers the special gift he received all those years ago.26. Why didn't Lin choose to study photography?A. It was too expensive.B. He had no interest in it.C. He was not very creative.D. It was not offered that term.27. The underlined expression "catch his eye" in Paragraph 4 means “”.A. make him excitedB. cause him surpriseC. get his attentionD. help him see clearly28. Which of the following best describes Lin's interest in cooking?A. It only lasted for a short time.B. It seemed to match his character.C. It was forced on him by his parents.D. It developed slowly over many months.29. Why did the father have doubts about Lin's choice of cooking?A. Lin wasn't good at cooking.B. Cooking wasn't very convenient.C. He didn’t think Lin would continue.D. Cooking wasn't a good hobby for a boy.30. What's the best title for the passage?A. A Strict FatherB. A Changeable BoyC. The Fun of CookingD. The Birthday Gift（B）Experts believe that there are more than 8 million restaurants in the world today. So it might surprise you to learn that restaurants, as we know them, have only existed for a few centuries. Before 1765, there were no restaurants. That is, there were no places that provided the restaurant experience. There was nowhere in which a waiter brought you food and drink that you picked from a menu. In fact, there were no menus anywhere.There were eating places travellers could go to centuries before that. The countryside was full of inns that would serve food. And there were taverns where one could get drinks. The rich could also eat special meals prepared by private cooks. But none of them could be called a “restaurant”.A man called Boulanger changed that. In 1765, he opened a place in Paris that sold soups(汤). On his sign he used the word "restaurant" to describe what he was selling. At that time, soups were considered something that could help "restore"(恢复)your health- in French the word "restore" is “restaurer”--- so he called the soups "restaurants". Soon, people started buying Boulanger's soups even when they were not ill. And over time, people began to use the word "restaurant" to refer to a place selling soup rather than the soup itself. More "restaurants" opened in France, and people began to buy soups more often.Later, restaurants in Paris began to serve other food besides soup. In the 1790s, menus started to appear. By the mid-1800s, there were many types of restaurants throughout the world. The United States offered coffee shops. Tea houses became popular throughout China. Paris createdbeautiful restaurants for the rich. The British began to copy the French, and the restaurant idea spread throughout the British Empire.Today cities are filled with all types of restaurants. Diners have millions of options from which to choose.31. What is the passage mainly about?A. How restaurants developedB. What made a good restaurant.C. Who created the first restaurantD.

What many people don't know is that junk(垃圾)has become a problem in outer space too.According to BBC News, there are more than 22, 000 pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes (望远镜). There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can't see.Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites, move around the planet at very high speeds fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into a spaceship, it could damage the vehicle.To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2,000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth's atmosphere after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.Many scientists also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth's atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed.The problem is becoming more challenging because we're sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers,” says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space Researcher.“The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become,”he says.36. What does the underlined word “these” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Telescopes.B. Satellites.C. Pieces of space junk.D.
