2023年中考英语考前信息必刷卷 3（湖南长沙专用）
试卷分为四个部分, 71小题, 时量120分钟, 满分120分

自从2021年湖南长沙英语试题做出一些重要的调整，单项选择改成了语法填空，这是与高考接轨的题型。2023年长沙中考题在数量和题型上保持与2022年一致。分为听说部分（20分）和笔试部分（100分），由四大部分组成。题型特点：重基础，强拓展，显能力。难易兼顾; 突出语境。基础语法点覆盖面广，基本覆盖了课本规定的所有基础语法。阅读试题话题广泛，题材全面，有现代科技介绍（无人机，3D打印），中国传统文化，名著阅读，阅读理解的材料充满了正能量，导向性强。整体难度适中。

通过对长沙考试题目和考试信息的梳理研究，听力题考查考生从有声材料中获取语言信息并处理信息的能力，听力部分设计由浅入深，由易到难，循序渐进，语速适中，难度适宜，可参照信息卷。阅读A篇B篇重在考查学生应用文阅读技能，阅读技能集中于考查学生获取事实信息的能力，兼顾了对其他技能的考查。，B篇C篇，一般是一篇记叙文和一篇说明文（包括议论文），全面考查学生综合阅读水平和能力。完型填空：300字左右，一般是记叙文考查学生语篇逻辑分析能力和一定的语言知识。所涉及的知识点主要包括同义词或词组的辨析，固定搭配，以及语义逻辑推断等。短文语法填空2021年是第一次纳入中考，题型来自于高考的语法填空，此题从命题上弥补了语法单项选择的效度缺失。从小语境扩到了大语境，有效地避免了缺乏上下文的语言歧义。语篇翻译立足于语篇，在大语境的环境下，要求学生不但能够准确地翻译单句，还要求学生能够根据上下文的语境考虑时态、代词等等的一致性，其效度优于单句翻译，有助于培养学生的语篇意识。语法填空，10个空，冠词、代词、介词、连词、非谓语动词、形容词和副词、时态、语态以及三大从句是比较稳定的考点。作文依然是提纲式作文，写作任务贴近学生的实际生活， 有利于引发学生思考并帮助他们自由表达。从语言测试的角度来看，写作语境设置真实，学生有话可说，保证了测试任务的有效性。

Can you imagine being at school and home at the same time? What about you thinking of a sentence, and your friend knows it just by a feeling? 
These may sound crazy in real life. But in the microworld (微观世界) of quantum physics (量子物理), they could all be possible! This year’s Nobel Prize in physics was given to three quantum physicists. They are Alain Aspect from France, John Clauser from the US and Anton Zeilinger from Austria. They did a great job studying quantum entanglement (量子纠缠), which paves the way for new technologies such as quantum computers and quantum communication.
What is quantum entanglement? When two particles (粒子) are entangled, everything about them – from their speed to the way they move – is perfectly connected. If you know the state of one particle, then you know the state of the other, even when the two particles are very far apart.
Thanks to the winning scientists’ finding of this secret, quantum entanglement has now been used in some cutting-edge (尖端的) technologies. For example, it can provide completely safe encryption (加密) in communication. Here’s how it works: changing one entangled particle affects another. So anyone trying to peek at secret quantum information would break the particles’ entanglement. That means nobody can spy (窥探) on a quantum message without getting caught.
Another use is called “quantum teleportation (量子传输)”. This isn’t the same as people showing up from one place to another like in science fiction. But it can send information from one place to another in the quantum state. It’s faster and safer than the traditional way of technology. 
Quantum computers are another example. Normal computers process data using ones and zeroes. Quantum computers would use bits of information that are both one and zero. Such computers could run calculations (计算) that no normal computer can.
26.Why does the writer ask two questions at the very beginning of the passage?
A. To draw the readers’ attention to the topic.
B. To show the situation in the future.
C. To ask the readers to think the questions carefully.
27. What do we know about this year’s Nobel Prize in physics?
A. It was given to three US physicists.
B. It honored the invention of a super quantum computer.
C. It honored the studying of quantum entanglement.
28. What is clear in the event of quantum entanglement?
A. Particles look exactly the same.
B. Everything about two particles is connected.
C. Particles can’t stay far apart.
29. Using quantum entanglement in cutting-edge technologies can _____.
a. better protect secrets
b. help recognize spies
c. help send messages faster and safer
d. slow down technological achievements
e. help with calculations on quantum computers
A. abc          B. bcd          C. ace         
30. What is NOT included in the story about quantum entanglement?
A. What it is. B. Its usage in scientific fields. C. When it was first found.
【答案】ACBCC

28.细节理解题。从第二段的叙述中。当两个粒子它们被纠缠在一起，从它们的速度到它们的运动方式，它们的一切都是完美相连的。如果你知道一个粒子的状态，那么你就知道另一个的状态，即使这两个粒子相距很远。可知答案选B
29.细节理解题。四，五，六段都是介绍量子纠缠技术在高端科学方面的应用。第四段介绍量子纠缠在加密方面的应用。从五段介绍量子纠缠在通信方面的应用，速度更加快。第六段讲述量子纠缠在计算机方面的应用。a叙述正确，c叙述正确，e叙述正确。答案选C
30.主旨题理解。什么是量子纠缠？第三段作了介绍。第四，五，六段介绍在科技领域的应用。故B提及到。第二段提及研究量子纠缠的科学家。什么时候第一次发现没有提及，故答案选C
D
At my primary school, I was one of the smartest kids there. I never studied, but always got perfect scores. I was also a prodigy in music according to myself. I could sing better than almost everyone else in my school. I was pretty sure that once I got to sixth grade, everyone would be surprised by me.
But actually, they weren’t.
When I arrived at my new class, I couldn’t wait to show everyone what I could do. However, there was always someone else who could do them better. My grades began to suffer. More talented(有天资的)girls often sang solo(独唱). I believed I wasn’t smart. I believed I wasn’t talented. I believed I was a failure.
Over the next two years, I had to work very hard. Every prize for the singing competition was given to me for hard work and effort. Grades were still very low but improving little by little. I worked really hard. However, I was never the best at everything.
I haven’t realized until recently that I really don’t have to be the best at everything. I was too hard on myself. In fact, when I did badly in a test, my classmates never laughed at me.
No one is perfect. There will probably always be someone better than me at something. Anyway, there are about seven billion people in this world. I will never be the number one at everything, and that’s really okay.
31. What does “a prodigy” probably mean in English?
A. A smart kid. B. A crazy fan. C. A common child. D. A lazy girl.

B. She found the best way to become perfect.
C. She failed to be perfect though she worked hard.
34. What has the writer realized recently?
A. There is no success without effort.
B. Being talented is the key to success.
C. Don’t expect too much of yourself.
35. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. When I wasn’t perfect
B. My past life as a young girl
C. Hard work doesn’t work
【答案】31. A 32. B 33.C 34. C 35. A
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过对自己学习经历的叙述，阐述了“人无完人”的人生道理。
31.词义猜测题。根据“I could sing better than almost everyone else in my school.”可知，作者能唱得比学校几乎所有人都好，因此作者在音乐方面也是一个聪明的孩子。故选A。
32.细节理解题。根据“I believed I wasn’t smart. I believed I wasn’t talented. I believed I was a failure.”可知， 作者认为自己并不聪明，也没有天赋，自己就是一个失败者。所以，她在学习上遇到了困难。故选B。
33.细节理解题。根据“I worked really hard. However, I was never the best at everything.”可知，作者尽管付出了很大的努力，仍然不是在各方面都很突出。故选D。
34.细节理解题。根据“I haven’t realized until recently that I really don’t have to be the best at everything.”可知，直到最近作者才意识到，她真的不需要在所有事情上都做到最好，因此作者意识到不要对自己期望太高。故选C。

第三节（共5小题；每小题2分, 满分10分）
阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

People knock on iron pots and bowls to cheer for players. Villagers perform folk songs and dances in the halftime show. Prizes for the winning team are bags of rice, fish, and ducks .... This year, the “Village Basketball Association (Village BA)” at Taipan village in Guizhou has made a splash (引人注目).
The final game of the Guizhou country basketball league (联赛), known as “Village BA”, took place on March 27 and Team Qiandongnan won the Championship Cup. The players were all amateurs (业余选手) and mostly farmers from local villages and nearby cities.
Apart from the exciting matches on the court (球场), the most eye-catching spaces in Taipan were courtside (场边).More than 30,000 people from across the country poured into the tiny village, which has a population of about 1,200. A single spot was hard to get.
“Many people even wear adult diapers (成人纸尿片) so they can sit for hours in the stands. Ladders were also sold out that day,” Wu Xiaolong, a 31-year-old local man, told Teens.
In 2022, some videos of locals playing basketball in Taipan went viral on social media. This year, the first edition of the Village BA finals was staged in Taipan, which is an important event for grassroots (草根) Chinese hoops.
Since 2016, the local government has worked hard to build new standard basketball courts to support basketball development.
Zeng Jinlong, a 17-year-old villager, has been watching the games since he was 6 years old. Over the years, “the courts have become standard as backboards (篮板) have turned from wood into glass and the floor material from cement (水泥) to rubber (橡胶),” he told Teens.
Taipan has now become a model place of rural vitalization (乡村振兴) driven by sports and tourism. In the summer of 2022, around 500,000 visitors came to the village to watch the preliminary rounds (预赛) of the “Village BA”, which brought tourism revenue (收入) of more than 40 million yuan, reported Xinhua.
The event has also encouraged more people to take part in sports. Now as a point guard in the local youth basketball team, Zeng said he dreams of taking part in the “Village BA” final himself one day.
41. Who are the competitors in “Village BA”?
【答案】They are mostly farmers from local villages and nearby cities.
42. What are the prizes for the game winners?
【答案】They are rice, fish, ducks and so on.
43. What do we know from Wu Xiaolong’s words?
【答案】The “Village BA” is very popular.
44. What is reflected in Zeng Jinlong’s words?
【答案】The basketball courts in his village have improved.
45. What example does Taipan set?
【答案】It is a model place of rural vitalization driven by sports and tourism.

him他，人称代词宾格；you你；us我们，人称代词宾格；me我，人称代词宾格。根据文意可知，这是Alex的父母对他说的话，在引号中应该称呼为“你”。故选B。
55.句意：游客们指着他，兴奋地尖叫。
excitedly兴奋地；angrily生气地；sadly伤心地；heavily重地。根据“They looked happy to see something so special at the zoo”可知，游客们在动物园里看到了很特别的东西，他们很开心，选项中A选项与happy意思相近，所以应该是“兴奋地尖叫”。故选A。

Dear Sam,
I am interested in applying for a volunteer position with the IOC. Volunteering is a good way to give back to society. Personally, I like challenges, and volunteering offers an opportunity to improve myself.    
I am good at English, especially spoken English, which will enable me to assist and support athletes from around the world easily. I already have experience as a volunteer for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, which makes me more suitable for this role. What’s more, I enjoy working with people. I can easily get along with others. I believe my experience and skills will help me handle the work well.
I really want to contribute to the big event. Thank you for your consideration. I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon!
Yours,
Li Hua
