They may even have been as (8) as some birds. “Why is the information different?” I asked my grandfather. He smiled and said, “Because knowledge keeps (9). An encyclopaedia is never finished.

He told me that when he was young, he (13) walk three kilometres to the town library, because there (14) no computers at that time. “Now you can find almost everything on the internet,” he said, “but you still need to learn how to tell facts from opinions.” That afternoon, I spent two hours (15) through the old book.

Nobody put up a hand. “I think we use about 200 litres,” said Li Ming at last. “That is only a (17),” Miss Chen smiled. “Let's find out the real number.” She gave each of us a sheet of paper. “(18) every tap, every shower and every washing machine you use at home this evening,” she said. “Then put all the (19) together and bring them back tomorrow.” The next morning we (20) our answers.

(B) Long ago, there was a king who loved playing chess. One day he asked a wise old man to play with him. “If you win,” the king said, “I will give you anything you want.” The old man won the game. “I only want some rice,” he said. “Put one grain on the first square of the chessboard, two on the second, four on the third, and so on. Double the number for each of the sixty-four squares.” “Is that all?” laughed the king. “Rice is cheap. You shall have it.” His servants began to count. On the tenth square they needed 512 grains. By the twentieth square they needed more than 500,000 grains — enough for a big meal. By the fortieth square, the number was over one trillion（万亿）. The king’s men went to every village, but they could not find enough rice in the whole country. The king finally understood: numbers that grow by doubling become huge very quickly. “You have taught me a lesson,” he said to the old man. “A small number can become a mountain.” 29.

How to Grow Rice C. A Cheap Game D. The Lesson of a Chessboard (C) （By Kevin, Class 3, Grade 8） Last month our class did a project called ‘Seven Days Offline’. We had to stay away from smartphones and tablets for a week. Here is what I found out. The first two days were the hardest. My hand kept reaching for my pocket, and I felt I was missing something important. On the third day, I started to notice things around me: the noise of the traffic, the smell of the flowers in the street, and even the colour of the sky. Something else changed, too. Without short videos, I read two books in seven days — I had read only one book in the last three months. I also talked more with my family. My grandmother taught me to make dumplings on Saturday afternoon; I had never listened to her so patiently before. Of course, digital life has its good points. I use apps to learn English and to check the bus schedule. But I now believe we should be the owners of our devices, not their servants. After the project, I made a rule for myself: no screens after nine in the evening. 33. How long did the project last? A. Seven days. B. Three days. C. Two days. D. Three months. 34. What did Kevin begin to do on the third day? A. He read two books. B. He made dumplings. C. He began to notice things around him. D. He checked the bus schedule. 35. The underlined word “devices” means “______” in Chinese. A. 玩具 B. 设备 C. 作业 D. 书籍 36. What can we learn from the passage? A. Digital devices are useless. B. Students should stop using phones. C. Reading is better than using apps. D. We should be the owners of our digital devices. (D) Ask people to name the greatest invention in history and many will say the computer, the phone or the steam engine. Yet an engineer once said that the wheel is ‘the mother of all inventions’. No one knows who invented the wheel. The oldest wheels we have found are about 5,500 years old, and they were used by potters（陶工） in Mesopotamia to shape clay. About 500 years later, people fixed wheels on carts, and for the first time heavy things could be moved across land without much difficulty. Why is the wheel so important? First, it makes work easier: a horse can pull a load on a cart that ten men could not carry. Second, it saves time: goods can travel much faster than before. Third, the idea behind it — turning round and round — is used again and again in later machines, from water wheels to car engines. The wheel was not as complicated as a computer, but without it, it would be hard to imagine the modern world. Sometimes the simplest ideas are the most powerful. 37. The oldest wheels we have found were first used to ______. A. carry heavy things B. build carts C. shape clay D. make engines 38. How many reasons does the writer give for the importance of the wheel? A. Three. B. Two. C. Five. D. Four. 39. The underlined word “complicated” probably means “______” in Chinese. A. 昂贵的 B. 复杂的 C. 有用的 D. 普遍的 40. Why does the writer write this passage? A. To explain how to make a wheel. B. To tell the story of a famous engineer. C. To compare the wheel with the computer. D. To show why the wheel is a great invention. 第二节　阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Looking something up seems easy, but doing it well takes skill. Here are some steps that may help. (41) ________ Before you open a book or a website, ask yourself what exactly you want to know. ‘Something about dinosaurs’ is too wide; ‘When did dinosaurs die out?’ is a better question. Choose the right tool. A children’s encyclopaedia is easy to read but may leave out details. (42) ________ If you need the newest information, a trusted website is usually a better choice. Check the date. An encyclopaedia printed in 1978 may say that dinosaurs were slow and stupid. (43) ________ Knowledge keeps changing, so always look at the year. (44) ________ One book or one website is rarely enough. When two sources give different facts, look for a third one. This is how you get closer to the truth. Write down where the information comes from. (45) ________ It also helps you find the source again when you need it. Good learners are not the ones who know everything. They are the ones who know where to look. A. Compare two or three sources. B. Start with a clear question. C. Scientists today think differently. D. A good dictionary gives you the meaning of words. E. A subject encyclopaedia goes deeper but uses harder words. F. This shows respect for the writer’s work. G. The internet is always right. 四、写作（共三节，满分30分） 第一节　语篇填词（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文，根据上下文和所给的首字母写出所缺单词。注意使用正确形式，每空限填一词。答卷时要求写出完整单词。 Numbers are (46) a__________.

The one I use most is my smartphone. I use it to look up new words, to listen to English programmes and to keep in touch with my friends. It has brought a real change to my study. Last term I spent about twenty minutes every evening on a vocabulary app. In the monthly test, my spelling improved a lot, and my teacher even praised me. However, digital devices can also waste our time. My advice is simple: make a timetable, and turn off messages while doing homework. In this way we can enjoy digital life without losing control of it. （范文词数约95词，供参考。学生能写足80词、要点齐全即可给满分档。） 八、命题说明：考点覆盖与双向细目 本卷严格对标《广州市初中学业水平考试英语试卷结构》，笔试部分56小题、满分90分；命题范围为沪教牛津版（2024）八年级上册 Unit 1 Look it up! 至 Unit 4 Inventions，并覆盖广州中考在八年级阶段要求掌握的语法项目。 题号 题型 分值 主要考查点 1~15 语法选择 15 冠词、数词、介词、时态、复合不定代词、定语从句、比较级、as ... as、非谓语动词、被动语态、情态动词、used to、there be 16~25 完形填空 10 语篇理解与词语辨析（形容词、动词及动词短语、名词） 26~28 阅读A（应用文） 6 海报类信息获取：时间计算、地点匹配、细节推断 29~32 阅读B（记叙文） 8 细节理解、词义猜测（Double）、数据比对、标题归纳 33~36 阅读C（博客） 8 细节理解、词义猜测（devices）、推理与主旨 37~40 阅读D（说明文） 8 细节理解、信息归纳（三条理由）、词义猜测、写作意图 41~45 阅读填空 5 语篇结构：段落主题句与逻辑衔接（七选五） 46~50 语篇填词 5 首字母提示下的词汇拼写与词形（U2/U3核心词） 51~55 完成句子 10 动词短语look up、数词thousands of、比较级修饰语much、最高级the most、被动语态was written 56 书面表达 15 提示作文：介绍数字生活，考查内容组织与语言运用 单元话题与考点呼应 教材单元 本卷落点 Unit 1 Look it up! 语法选择语篇（百科全书词条）、阅读A（百科全书活动周）、阅读填空41~45（查资料的方法）、完成句子51（look up） Unit 2 Amazing numbers 完成句子52（thousands of）、语篇填词46~50（数字）、阅读B（棋盘米粒与倍数增长）、完形填空（用水量的统计） Unit 3 Our digital lives 阅读C（Seven Days Offline）、书面表达（My Digital Life）、语法选择（互联网与信息辨别） Unit 4 Inventions 阅读D（轮子）、阅读A（Young Inventors’ Fair）、语篇填词与写作中的发明话题 广州中考语法项 定语从句、被动语态、情态动词、非谓语动词、used to、there be、比较等级、数词等在语法选择与完成句子中均设点 英语试题（A卷）参考答案　　第 页（共 页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
