2019年广州市中考英语真题【附详细解析】
2. A.thousandB.thousandsC.thousand ofD.thousands of
3. A.exploreB.to exploreC.exploredD.exploring
4. A.asB.orC.butD.so
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. D 4. A 5. A 6. B 7. C 8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
人类对太空 研究始于几千年前，那时科学还很落后，人们只能用肉眼观察天空。现在人类有了现代化的技术，他们对太空有了更多的了解。那么人类第一次进入太空是什么时候呢？其实在人类进入太空之前，科学家们先用很多动物进行了实验，保证人类太空旅行的安全。
【1题详解】
句意：现在人们使用现代的机器来看天空。look看，动词原形；to look动词不定式；looking动名词形式；looked是过去式或过去分词形式。根据句意可知，空后表示use modern machines的目的，“为了看天空”，故应用动词不定式，选B。
【2题详解】
句意：这与几千年前的情况不同，那时人们只能用眼观察天空。thousand千，数量单位；thousands复数形式；thousand of形式错误；thousands of成千上万的，固定短语。根据句意和空后的years可知，这个空修饰后面的名词，故应选D。

They were disputing which was the better animal.“Look at my strength,” said the elephant. “I can pull up a tree, roots and all with my trunk”“Ah! But your skin is not nearly so thick as mine,” replied the crocodile. “No knife or tooth can cut through it.”Just as they were coming to blows, a lion happened to pass.“My dear friends !” said the King of all animals, going up to them. “Let me know the cause of your disagreement.”“Will you kindly tell us which is the better animal?” cried both at once.“Certainly”,said the lion, pointing across the river. “Do you see the soldiers’ metal hat on that wall?”“Yes!” replied the beasts.“Well, then,” continued the lion, “ go and get it, and bring it to me, and I shall be able then to decide between you.”Upon hearing this, off they started. The crocodile, being used to the water, reached the opposite side of the river first, and was soon standing beside the wall.Here he waited till the elephant came up. The elephant, seeing that the crocodile had no way of reaching their goal, raised his long trunk, and took down the hat quite easily.They then made their way together back again across the river. The elephant was trying to keep up with the fast-moving crocodile in the water and became careless. When he was forced to turn sharply to avoid a floating tree branch, the elephant dropped the hat and it fell to the river bottom. The crocodile noticed the accident, so down he dived, and brought it up in his huge mouth. They then returned, and the crocodile laid the metal hat at the lion's feet. The King took it up, and turning to the elephant, said:“You, because of your size and trunk, were able to reach the hat on the wall but, having lost it, yo u were unable to get it back. And you,” said the lion to the crocodile, “although unable to reach the hat, were able to dive for it and save it. You are both wise and able in your own ways. One is no better than the other.”26.

By sharing their ideasD. By listening to the lionBThey sa y that “travel is the best teacher” and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587-1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country's land and geography.Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however, Xu's father died and so, it seemed impossible for his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required.But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son’s love of travel and valuing the kno wledge he couldget from such experiences, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work.So at the age of twenty and with his mother's support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost, however. Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his journeys Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the Southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend around the world.31. What is the passage mainly about______.A.The general details of Xu Xiake's life storyB. The difficulties Xu Xiake faced in his travelsC. The important discoveries made by Xu XiakeD. The influence of Xu's book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake 32.Which of the following best describes Xu's mother? A. Strict but interesting B. Kind but uneducated C. Helpful and hardworking D. Supportive and open-minded 33. Why did Xu prefer walking during his travels? A. It gave him the chance to meet different kinds of people. B. It helped him to save money and travel for a longer time. C. It allowed him to see and study the environment in detail. D. It was the only way to reach the places he was interested in.34. What is true about Xu's book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake?A. It was only made public after Xu died.B. It made Xu very famous during his lifetime.C.It was the first travel book ever written in China.D. It was mainly about the different people of China. 35.

It's quite a new websiteB. It was started in AustraliaC. It's generally for young readersD. It mainly discusses scientific topicsDWhile the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some students at White Cloud Primary School. They became the world's first kids to be taught by an electronic teacher. This electronic teacher is not a human-like robot walking around the classroom Instead, he is a computer-created head that appears, when needed, on students computer or phone screens. His name is Bill.Created by technology company Smart Machines, Bill is able to show human-like behavior. He is designed to teach a special program about environmental-friendly power created by the sun and wind. This program, started in 2005, used to be taught by human teachers.Just like human teachers, Bill is able to immediately respond to the students' questions and opinions about the topic. Thanks to computer cameras, he is also able to see and react to students physical actions. For example, if a student smiles at Bill, he responds by smiling back. This two-way exchange helps get the students' attention. More importantly, it allows the program developers to improve Bills behavior and knowledge base when needed.The program has been a great success, according to Smart Machines spokesman Robert Frost Frost says, “What is interesting to me is the children's reaction to Bill. He really captures their attention.” Frost thinks kids don't find theexperience of being taught by smart machines as strange as older people because they have grown up in a time ofcomputers and smart phones.It is doubtful, however, that human educators will lose their jobs to Bill any time soon. For one,his talking head'sknowledge base is not large. More importantly, even the smartest computer programs can't guess and react to all theunexpected situations that educators face daily. Bill’s future might be as a “personal tutor”, providing kids withone-on-one help for different subjects and topics.41. What is Bill?A.A human-like robotB. A kind of computer gameC. A computer recording toolD. A computer-created talking head 42. How does the two-way exchange help the program developers? A. It lets them correct students' mistakes B. It allows Bill to respond more quickly C. It helps them know how to improve Bill D. It helps them study students' body language 43. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refers to A. kids B. older people C. smart machines D. program developers 44. What is Bill NOT good at doing? A. Attracting students' attention B. Understanding body language C. Responding to students' questions D. Dealing with unexpected situations45. How might Bill be used in the future according to the last paragraph?A. To work as human classroom teachersB. To encourage students' interest in computersC. To give students personal help with different subjectsD. To watch over the behavior of the students in the classroom第二节阅读填空阅读短文及文后A~E选项,选出可以填入46~50各题空白处的最佳选项。

(A)An elephant and a crocodile were once standing beside a river. They were disputing which was the better animal.“Look at my strength,”said the elephant.“I can pull up a tree, roots and all, with my trunk.”“Ah! But your skin is not nearly so thickas mine,”replied the crocodile. “No knife ortooth can cut through it.”Just as they were coming to blows, a lion happened to pass.“My dear friends!”said the King of all animals, going up to them. “Let me know the cause ofyour disagreement.”“Will you kindly tell us which is the better animal?”cried both at once.“Certainly,”said the lion, pointing across the river. “Do you see the soldiers metal hat on that wall?”“Yes!”replied the beasts.“Well, then,”continued the lion, “go and get it, and bring it to me, and I shall be able then to decide between you.”Upon hearing this, off they started. The crocodile, being used to the water, reached the opposite side of the river first, and was soon standing beside the wall.Here he waited till the elephant came up. The elephant, seeing that the crocodile had no way of reaching their goal, raised his long trunk, and took down the hat quite easily.They then made their way together back again across the river. The elephant was trying to keep up with the fast-moving crocodile in the water and became careless. When he was forced to turn sharply to avoid a floating tree branch, the elephant dropped the hat and it fell to the river bottom. The crocodile noticed the accident, so down he dived, and brought it up in his huge mouth. They then returned, and the crocodile laid the metal hat at the lions feet. The King took it up, and turning to the elephant, said:“You, because of your size and trunk, were able to reach the hat on the wall but, having lost it, you were unable to get it back. And you,”said the lion to the crocodile, “although unable to reach the hat, were able to dive for it and save it, You are both wise and able in your own ways. One is no better than the other.”26.

By listening to the lion.(B)They say that “travel is the best teacher”and there is no better example of this idea than theMing dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587-1641) His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country's land and geography.Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however, Xu's father died and so, it seemed, did his travelling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year-old mother as tradition required.But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her sons love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work.So at the age or twenty and with his mothers support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary. This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost however. Progress was slow and firing and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his journeys.Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the southwest of China. He died in 1641. soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend around the world.31. What is the passage mainly about?A. The general details of Xu Xiake's life story.B. The difficulties Xu Xiake faced in his travels.C. The Important discoveries made by Xu Xiake.D. The influence of Xu's book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake.32. Which of the following best describes Xu’s mother?A. Strict but interesting.B. Kind but uneducated.C. Helpful and hardworking.D. Supportive and open-minded.33. Why did Xu prefer walking during his travels?A. It gave him the chance to meet different kinds of people.B. It helped him to save money and travel for a longer time.C. It allowed him to see and study the environment in detail.D. It was the only way to reach the places he was interested in.34. What is true about Xu’s book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake?A. It was only made public after Xu died.B. It made Xu very famous during his lifetime.C. It was the first travel book ever written in China.D. It was mainly about the different people of China.35. What is the correct order for the following events from Xu's life?a. He went on his first journeyb. His book was finally printedc. He returned to his hometown for the last time.d. He developed an interest in books about other places.e. He started managing the family farm after his father died.A. a-e-d-c-bB. d-e-a-c-bC. d-e-a-b-cD. e-d-a-b-c（C）Should Museum Entry Be Free?With International Museum Day coming up, today we are asking readers:Should museums be free or should people have to pay for a ticket? Let us know your view. Comments:Museums are not only there for enjoyment; they are education. This is why they must be free. While museums need a huge amount of money to operate, let the wealthy pay for it. The idea of a person or child interested in art not being able to view it because of cost is wrong.Krista Chen (US)-Age 15Free entry does not attract people or encourage them to appreciate art. Generally people respect things that are difficult or costly to get Museums should require regular visitors to pay a fee, but provide free tickets as prizes for high-achieving students who can appreciate them more.Fred Smith (New Zealand)-Age 14Museums teach people about their past. This is part of our shared culture that should be available to everyone, rich or poor. People should never be asked to pay an entrance fee.Rob Sanchez (Australia)-Age 17There are no simple answers. Low ticket prices could help museums stay open. But companies and businessmen should also provide museums with more money and other support. They have a social responsibility too.Amber White (UK)-Age 16I think museums and art galleries should all be free to the public.

It's quite a new website.B. It was started in AustraliaC. It's generally for young readersD. It mainly discusses scientific topics(D)While the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some students at White Cloud Primary School. They became the world's first kids to be taught by an electronic teacher. This electronic teacher is not a human-like robot walking around the classroom. Instead, he is a computer-created head that appears, when needed, on students' computer or phone screens. His name is Bill.Created by technology company Smart Machines, Bill is able to show human-like behavior. He is designed to teach a special program about environmental-friendly power created by the sun and wind. This program, started in 2005, used to be taught by human teachers.Just like human teachers, Bill is able to immediately respond to the student's questions and opinions about the topic. Thanks to computer cameras, he is also able to see and react to students' exchange helps get the student's attention. More importantly, it allows the program developers to improve Bill's behavior and knowledge base when needed.The program has been a great success, according to Smart Machines spokesman Robert Frost. Frost says, "What is interesting to me is the children's reaction to Bill. He really captures their attention." Frost thinks kids don't find the experience of being taught by smart machines as strange as older people because they have grown up in a time of computers and smart phones. It is doubtful, however, that human educators will lose their jobs to Bill any time soon. For one, this talking head's knowledge base is not large. More importantly, even the smartest computer programs can't guess and react to all the unexpected situations that educators face daily. Bill's future might be as a "personal tutor", providing kids with one-on-one help for different subjects and topics.41. What is Bill?A. A human-like robot.B. A kind of computer game.C.
