Ladies and gentlemen,
I feel greatly honored to be here to tell you something about
Chinese banquet customs.
Firstly, banquets are usually held in private rooms in
restaurants. Guests will be met at the door and led to the banquet
room where they will be guided to their places. Occasions are rare
when guests sit where they please. Secondly,while at banquets,
guests don't begin to eat until the host raises his chopsticks. And it's
rude to stop eating in the middle of a banquet. Banquets always
begin with a toast, with the host expressing his welcome.Finally,the
host will say good-bye to everyone at the door and stay longer to pay
the bill.
Thank you for listening. 读后续写

That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas
paper. She wrote “To Bobby, From Santa Claus” on it, after which
she drove me over to Bobby Decker’s house, explaining I was
officially one of Santa’s helpers. Grandma parked down the street
from Bobby’s house, and I took a deep breath, and dashed for his
front door. Seeing no other people notice us, I put the Christmas
present down, pounded his doorbell and then Grandma and I hid in
the car.
Grandma and I waited breathlessly in the bush for Bobby Decker’
s front door to open. Out went Bobby Decker. Seeing the coat in the
bag, he looked very astonished and then called his mother to go out.
After hearing them say “Thanks” to Santa Claus, I felt very proud
of what I had done. At that time I decided to be Santa’s helper for
ever. It was on that night that I realized the truth that he who has no
Christmas in his heart will never find Christmas under a tree.

28. C 细节理解题。由第二段中的 Until now, technologies that have
helped speech-impaired people communicate have been too slow to
allow a natural conversation.可知，到目前为止，帮助语言障碍人士
交流的技术速度太慢，无法实现自然的对话。

to change a person’s thoughts into text 可知，这个软件通过用脑部
信号将人的想法转化为文本以达到帮助病人与其他人沟通的目的。 30. C 推理判断题。由最后一段中的 the mind-reading software
works only for the limited set of sentences on which it was trained.
Scientists hope that this early system will help them develop a more
powerful one that could understand thoughts in real time to give
people their voices back.读心术软件只对训练过的有限句子起作用。
科学家们希望这个早期的系统能帮助他们开发出一个更强大的系
统，能够实时理解人们的想法，并让他们的声音回来。可知，此软
件仍有很大的改进空间。

听力原稿：
(Text 1)
M: Good morning. Can I help you
W: Oh, yes. I left a bag when I was shopping. It’s brown leather and
quite old and it’s got a pocket on the front.
M: All right. I’ll look at my list. (Text 2)
M: Mum, I want to buy a computer game for Jim and I need some
new training shoes.
W: You always spend a long time looking for computer games so let’
s do that last. There’s that huge shoe shop near the station so we can
go there first.
M: OK. And there’s a bookshop next door so we can go there after
the shoe shop.
(Text 3)
W: I need to use the car tomorrow; can I have my key back please
M: You are so forgetful; I returned the key to you and left it on the
dining table. You were in your room talking to your mother on the
phone.
W: It might still be where you left it yesterday.
(Text 4)
M: Hi Maria, it’s Jack. I’m ringing about the picnic on Saturday. I
know you’re good at making pizza but Adam’s decided he’s
bringing those. Can you get some biscuits — a big packet I’m
making a big bowl of salad to go with the pizza. W: No problem.
(Text 5)
W: You know I had to leave the party early last night so I never
found out who won first prize at the party.
M: Well, don’t ask me. I was just a few minutes behind you.
(Text 6)
W: It was amazing, wasn’t it I liked the storyline and the
characters were very convincing too.
M: They were. The actors were great — just right for the roles.
W: Mm … and the action scenes were thrilling — quite scary in
fact.
M: I was sure they weren’t going to survive when their car crashed
near the end. What about the final scene, though I couldn’t make
out what was going on with the main character’s son. Did he just
drive away and leave them all
W: It wasn’t obvious, was it I think he was going for help,
though … (Text 7)
M: Hi, Lucy, are you settling in OK
W: Yes, just fine. Thanks. I appreciate you taking the time to help
me out with this software.
M: Sure. You should start by logging in with your username. You
can just click on the button in the corner.
W: Okay. Then what
M: Well, then just select the network you want to work with, and
you’re all set.
W: Great, thanks for your help, Jeff. May I trouble you to show me
how to print reports out from the program
M: Sure. (Text 8)
W: Where will we be staying when we visit Trumanville
M: We’ll be staying in the center of the town. W: I hope there’ll be a
lot of taxis around. You know I hate to walk.
M: We’ll be within walking distance to everything. We’ll be able to
go everywhere on foot.
W: I told you. I hate to walk. At least we can live close to the beach.
M: Actually, the areas near the beach are too expensive, and we can’
t afford it. And plus, the beach is in a remote part of the town, and
staying there would mean being in the countryside for our entire
trip.
W: Maybe we can rent a car.
M: Are you out of your mind This is supposed to be a budget
vacation. (Text9)
M: Mary, would you be prepared to take up a position short-term
W: Of course. Anything that pays!
M: First, I need one work reference from a friend or colleague.
W: OK. For a work reference, there’s Jenifer Foot, who was my
former boss at Bermuda School.
M: Perfect. There’re three positions right now. The first is working
as a teacher of English in La Salle School. It’s a six-month contract,
and the attractive thing is that if the Head of English is satisfied with
your performance, she will offer to make you a permanent member
of staff. W: Wow!
M: The second position is in Chelsea Free School. This contract is
for one year, which is a lot better than the first one, in terms of
short-term job security. You will replace a female teacher who has
taken sick leave. There’s no possibility of the position being made
permanent. W: I see.
M: The last one is only a six-week contract to cover for someone on
child-care leave.
W: Well, I guess I’ll give it a miss. (Text 10)
Have you ever thought of running away to the circus I did.
I had it as a dream when I was a small child and never let it go.
I ran away to the circus when I was in my early 30s. I thought “if I
don’t do it now, I never will.”
People somehow think that circus might have begun in America
or even Australia. But actually, it began right here in the center of
London. It’s hard to find a country that hasn’t been touched by a
circus. More recently, the circus has been criticized for its use of
animals, but performances have always reached the limit of human
abilities.
Circus is always changing, but the essence of it is exactly like you see
250 years ago. You’ve got people here all the way around you. You
get that laugh and warmth from the audience coming from all sides.
To be this close to the action, you know, things can go wrong. It’s
real. And that is the beauty of live entertainment compared to
watching it on TV. I think the future of the circus is very bright.2025 年上学期衡南一中高二入学考试试卷（英语）

Very little is known of Emily Elizabeth Dickinson as the American poet always kept to
herself and lived a life of solitude(隐居). She was born on 10th December 1830 at Amherst,
Massachusetts to Edward and Emily Norcross Dickinson. She had an older brother, Austin,
and younger sister named Lavinia.
From 1834 to 1847, Emily Dickinson studied at the Amherst Academy, an academic
institution that was co-founded by her grandfather, Samuel Fowler Dickinson. In 1847, she
studied at the Hadley Female Seminary (now known as Mount Holyoke College) but
returned to Amherst only after a year, and began her own unique life. After returning from
the Seminary, Emily withdrew from all social contact and refused to entertain guests. She
chose to dress herself only in white and spent most of her time inside her room. She started
writing poems at around this time. Her initial forays(最初的尝试) were conventional(有争议
的) but later on, she experimented until she developed her own unique style.
The 1860s contributed greatly to Emily Dickinson’s writing style and content. The US
Civil War broke out in 1861; her closest friends Samuel Bowles moved to Europe for health
reasons, and Charles Wadsworth was relocated to San Francisco. In addition, she also had a
persistent eye trouble. Although these years were very troublesome for Dickinson, this could
also be considered as the most productive period of her life. During this time, Emily
Dickinson wrote around 800 poems.
Emily Dickinson never married and died on May 15,1886. Her poems were published by
her sister, Lavinia in 1886. During her life, only seven poems were published, but Emily
Dickinson has penned almost 2,000 poems.
24.What happened to Emily in 1848
3
A. She studied at the Amherst Academy. B. She went to the Hadley Female Seminary.
C. She felt lonely and returned to Amherst. D. She began her life of solitude.
25. What can we infer from the third paragraph
A. Emily’s writing was disturbed by the US Civil War.
B. Two of her closest friends deserted her in 1861.
C. Charles Wadsworth once lived in San Francisco.
D. Emily developed her own unique style.
26. When were most of Emily's poems published
A. After her death in 1886. B. During the US Civil War.
C. During her university time. D. Before her death in 1886.
27. What is the passage mainly about
A. Emil’s life as a poet. B. Emily’s lifestyle.
C. Emily’s writing styles. D. Emily’s poems.

Doctors at the University of California, San Francisco, in the US, have developed a
piece of software that can read minds. The project, supported by Facebook, hopes to help
people who, because of medical conditions, are unable to communicate with others.
Until now, technologies that have helped speech-impaired(语 言 障 碍 ) people
communicate have been too slow to allow a natural conversation. People find these things
upsetting to use. This new way uses brain signals to change a person’s thoughts into text.
When we want to speak, the brain sends signals to make the lips, jaw and tongue move in the
right way to make an understandable sound. By discovering these brain signals, the new
software is able to predict what a person want to say quickly enough to hold a conversation.
The brain-reading software was tested on three volunteers who could all speak like
healthy people. They were being treated for epilepsy(癫痫). As part of their treatment for
epilepsy, each patient had electrodes(电极) placed on to their brain. Edward Chang, who led
the study, used these electrodes to record the signals in the patients’ brains while they
listened to a list of questions and answered them.
Chang and his team then built a computer program that learned to match the patients’
brain signals to the words the patients heard and the words the patients spoke. For the
questions, the software matched the correct words 76% of the time. For the answers, it
matched the correct words 61% of the time.
Now, the mind-reading software works only for the limited set of sentences on which it
was trained. Scientists hope that this early system will help them develop a more powerful
one that could understand thoughts in real time to give people their voices back. Chang said,
“We as scientists should try our best to help people to bring that most important and basic
human ability back.”
28. What is the disadvantage of previous technologies
A. They couldn’t read people’s minds correctly.
B. They couldn’t make communication understandable.
C. They couldn’t let medical conditions change for the better.
D. They couldn’t serve the purpose of natural conversation.
4
29. How does the software help people
A. By changing people’s mind into text. B. By sending signals to their lips.
C. By organizing conversations for them. D. By training them how to speak.
30. What can we know about the mind-reading software according to the last paragraph
A. It has been used on a wide scale.
B. It has restored the basic human ability.
C. It still has plenty of room for improvement.
D. It has enhanced human real-time conversation.
31. What is the attitude of the author towards the mind-reading software
A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Intolerant. D. Doubtful.
D
“Instagram (a social networking app) will cut out many users’ accounts on December 20.
To protect your account, repost this warning #KeepMyAccountSafe.” Every few months, it
happens again—dozens of annoying posts from my kids’ friends suddenly start to appear on
my Instagram news feed.
According to a new study by Stanford University, most kids don’t know what news is
false. Researchers asked more than 7,800 middle school and high school students to complete
56 tasks, like distinguishing an advertisement from a real news story on a website and
determining which blog in a series was most reliable. They found that students judged the
credibility of blogs based not on the source of the material, but on how much detail they
contained, or whether a large photo was attached.
“Many people assume that because young people are fluent in social media, they can
distinguish fake news, but our work shows the opposite to be true,” wrote the lead study
author Sam Wineburg, a professor at Stanford’s Graduate School of Education.
Both Google and Facebook are now taking steps to prevent misleading news from
making its way on their platforms, but they won’t be able to eliminate it completely. That is
why it’s now more important than ever to teach our kids to think critically when it comes to
believing various information sources.
“In the coming months, we look forward to sharing our assessments and working with
educators to create materials that will guide young people in the sea of disinformation they
encounter online,” said Wineburg.
32. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage
A. By stating opinions. B. By showing findings.
C. By citing a post. D. By quoting sayings.
33. According to researchers, what determines the credibility of online information
A. The source of the material. B. The popularity of the website.
C. The amount of detail. D. The size of relevant photos.
34. What does the underlined word “eliminate” mean in Paragraph 4
A. Digest. B. Update. C. Estimate. D. Remove.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Stronger Together: The Internet Changes Our Life. B. Be Careful: Kids Are Bad at Identifying Fake News. C. Reliable News Has No Place on Social Media.
5
D. Educators Have a Long Way to Go to Guide the Young.

The modern competitive sport of weightlifting originated in 19th-century Europe and
was included in the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. 36 At that time, simple
competitions were held to see who could lift the heaviest weight.
The first worldwide weightlifting championships were held in London in 1891. At that
time, there were no female competitors. Today, the World Weightlifting Championships,
organized by the International Weightlifting Federation(IWF)，are held every year. 37
Weightlifting as an Olympic event got off to an unsmooth start. It was not held as a
separate event in the first games held in 1896, but as a field event. 38 The sport returned
to the Olympics again in 1904, this time as part of the athletics program. Not until 1920 did
weightlifting make its real Olympic comeback.The 1920 Olympic Games, held in Antwerp,
Belgium, marked weightlifting’s debut （首次露面) as a separate event. 39
Previously, weightlifters in the Olympics were all required to compete against each
other, regardless of their size. One-hand lifting was dropped from the sport in 1928. Various
weightlifting exercises were added and later removed over many years until 1972. 40
The 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney saw the introduction of the women’s competition,
although the IWF has held the World Weightlifting Championships for women since 1987.
A.The 1940 and 1944 Games were canceled.
B. It is a sport in which barbells are lifted competitively. C.The 1900 Games had no weightlifting presence at all.
D. The championships include 15 separate weight types for both men and women.
E. The 1972 Olympic Games finally presented the weightlifting program in its present form.
F. The sport, however, dates back to ancient civilizations including China, Egypt and Greece.
G.The Antwerp Games also introduced one-hand lifting and weight divisions to the new
event.

When I was young, I struggled with body image and disordered eating. I used

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Christmas Day was coming. I was just a kid then, and my big sister told me there was no
Santa Claus. I fled to my Grandma because she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma
always told me the truth. Grandma was home, and I told her everything. She was ready for
me. “No Santa Claus!” She shouted. “Ridiculous! Don’t believe it. That rumor has been
going around for years, and it makes me mad, plain mad.”
“Now, put on your coat, and let’s go.”
“Go where, Grandma ” I asked. “Where” turned out to be Kerby’s General Store, the
one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its
doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars. “Take this money,” she said, “and buy something for
someone who needs it. I’ll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of
Kerby’s.
I was only eight years old. I’d often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I
shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people
competing to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there,
confused, holding that ten-dollar bill, wondering what to buy and who to buy it for. I
suddenly thought of Bobby Decker, who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair. He sat
right behind me in Mrs. Pollock’s grade-two class.
Bobby Decker didn’t have a coat. I knew that because he never went out for recess(休 息 ) during the winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn’t have a cough, and he didn’t have a coat. I
fingered the ten dollar bill with growing excitement. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat! I
settled on a red one, which looked really warm, and he would like that.
“Is this a Christmas present for someone ” the lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I
laid my ten dollars down. “Yes.”
The nice lady smiled at me, put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas. 注意：1．续写词数应为 150 左右；
