It was a bright sunny morning, and I had planned to go to the library to return some books. As I was walking down the street, I noticed something shiny lying on the sidewalk. I approached and found a wallet. Curiosity got the better of me, and I opened it to find a few banknotes, some coins, and a student ID card of a local high school. The ID belonged to a girl named Lily Chen. I decided to do the right thing and return it to her. Using the school’s name on the ID, I searched for the school’s contact information online and called them. The school staff were very helpful and connected me to Lily’s home phone number. Lily was surprised and grateful when I explained the situation. She had lost her wallet on her way to school that morning and was worried about the loss of her ID card and money. We arranged to meet at a nearby café to return the wallet. When we met, Lily was overjoyed and thanked me profusely. She even offered to buy me a coffee as a token of her gratitude, which I gladly accepted. After our encounter, I felt a sense of fulfillment and happiness that comes from helping someone in need. I shared the story on my social media, and it quickly spread among my friends and family. Many of them praised my actions and encouraged others to do good deeds as well. This experience taught me that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference in someone’s life. It was a day to remember, not just for the good deed done, but also for the reminder that we all have the power to spread positivity in our own small ways. 4. How did the author find Lily’s contact information? A. Through a friend. B. From a social media post. C. By calling the school. D. By asking a passerby. 5. What was Lily’s reaction when she met the author? A. She was grateful. B. She was angry. C. She was indifferent. D. She was confused. 6. What did the author do after meeting Lily? A. He kept the wallet. B. He asked for a reward. C. He forgot about the incident. D. He shared the story on social media. 7. What lesson did the author learn from the experience? A. Social media is a powerful tool. B. Helping others is always rewarded. C. Small acts of kindness can make a big difference. D. One should always expect gratitude from other people. C Wouldn’t it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language? In a recent Wall Street Journal article, technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that, within ten years or so, we would be able to communicate with one another through small earpieces with built-in microphones. That’s because technological progress is extremely fast. It’s only a matter of time. Such is the belief among certain parents that the technology is imminent and they’re wondering if their kids should learn a second language. It’s true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating “No es bueno dormer mucho” into “It’s not good to sleep too much”. Replacing a word with its equivalent (对等词) in the target language is actually the easy part of a translator’s job. But even this seems to be a difficult job for computers. It’s so hard for computers because translation doesn’t—or shouldn’t—involve simply translating words, sentences or paragraphs. Rather, it’s about translating meaning. And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression, people need to understand a lot of information all at once. Think about all the related clues that help us understand what someone is trying to say: volume, gesture, situations, and even your culture. All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use. Therefore, we should doubt a machine that can’t understand our world like we do. If people from different cultures can upset each other without realizing it, how can we expect a machine to do better? Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer, undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language, a machine will never fully take our place. 8. What does the underlined word “imminent” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Coming. B. Confusing. C. Impractical. D. Ready. 9. Why is it hard for computers to replace a word with its equivalent? A. Their data is not rich enough. B. The real meaning of words can vary. C. Their accuracy needs big improvement. D. A man’s soul hasn’t been breathed in them. 10. What view does the author hold about translation? A. Machines will translate our world properly. B. Cultures need more attention than words used. C. Slight differences don’t matter in translation. D. Proper translation can be difficult for computers. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. An Expert’s Prediction. B. Travel without Headache. C. The Pleasure of Translation. D. Will the Language Barrier (障碍) Actually Fall? 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Starting high school life can be a big challenge for many students, but with the right strategies, it can be a smooth change. ____12____.

He was a bit nervous because he knew his best friend would not be in his new class. I explained to him that even though his best friend would not be in his class, he would still have some of his old classmates. On the first day of school when the class list was posted, I was shocked! My son had zero former classmates in his class. None. Not one. How could this happen? I asked my friend who works with the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board. She explained, “Many largely populated schools often shuffle (弄混) the kids around each year to encourage new friendships.” If schools are actively trying to place two best friends in different classes simply to shake things up, I think it is a blunder. I was lucky enough to attend the same primary school all the way through. It was a small class and our group of students moved through each grade together. We felt like brothers and sisters. It was wonderful. While it may be good to shake things up a bit in the older grades, it seems almost cruel (残忍的) to separate good friends in the younger grades without good cause. One mom named Karen says that her son is always starting a new grade without any close friends. At first, she thought it was a good idea. Then she realized one thing—her son does not have a “best friend,” which makes her pretty worried. In fact, she thinks that he does not have any close friends because his classmates are always changing. Part of a school’s responsibility is to provide a safe and comfortable space for children to learn and grow. If that environment is always changing—causing terrible results—perhaps it is time to rethink this practice. 42. Why do many populated schools often shuffle the kids around each year? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 43. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 5 probably mean? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 44. Why did the author mention her own primary school experience? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 45. What is Karen’s attitude toward the practice of her son’s school? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 46. What kind of friends do you like to make? Please explain. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Ⅲ．写作(满分20分) 47. 随着科技的发展，越来越多的电子设备逐渐进入我们的生活中。平板电脑（tablet）既可以帮助我们学习知识，又可以用来玩电子游戏。请你用英文写一篇短文，谈谈中学生使用tablet的利与弊。写作要点： 1．使用tablet在学习和生活方面的好处； 2．使用tablet对学生课堂和学习产生的负面影响； 3．提出自己的建议并说明理由。 注意： 1．要点齐全，可适当发挥，条理清晰，意思连贯，语句通顺； 2．写作词数100词左右; 3．不可出现任何真实姓名或校名。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 湘潭大学附属实验学校2025年创新人才实验班自主招生考试 英语试题 亲爱的同学，欢迎你参加湘潭大学附属实验学校自主招生考试，为了你能顺利地参加本次考试，请你仔细阅读下面的话。 1．试卷分试题卷和答题卷两部分。满分为100分，考试时间为90分钟。 2．请在答题卡上写好姓名、初中毕业学校。 3．选择题部分请按题号用2B铅笔填涂方框，修改时用橡皮擦干净，不留痕迹。 4．非选择题部分请按题号用0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔书写，否则作答无效。 5．所有答案都必须填写在答题卡相应的位置上。 6．请勿折叠答题卡。保持字体工整、笔迹清晰、卡面清洁。 祝你成功! 试题卷 Ⅰ．阅读(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(共11小题;每小题2.5分，满分27.5分) 阅读下列材料，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Four popular children’s books Que Cosas Dice Mi Abuela Spanish-speaking parents will love this fun book — which was translated into “The things my grandmother says” — in which a grandmother teaches manners (规矩) to her grandchildren and their friends using traditional Spanish-language sayings.

Will the Language Barrier (障碍) Actually Fall? 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，围绕“机器翻译能否消除语言障碍”展开讨论。作者先提出“未来十年可通过智能设备实现跨语言沟通”的观点，随后从翻译的本质、语境与文化依赖等角度，论证机器翻译无法真正理解语言背后的含义，难以完全替代人类翻译，语言障碍也不会因此消失。 【8题详解】 根据第二段中“It’s only a matter of time.”以及“if their kids should learn a second language”可知，这项技术即将到来，家长因此担心孩子是否还需要学习第二语言可知。imminent意为“即将到来的”，与选项A“Coming”意思相近。 【9题详解】 根据第四段内容，翻译不仅仅是替换单词，而是翻译意义。为了推断意义，需要同时理解音量、手势、情境和文化等多种信息，这说明单词的真正含义会随语境变化，这对电脑来说很难。 【10题详解】 第四段明确指出“It’s so hard for computers...（这对计算机来说太难了）”，最后一段也提到除非给电脑注入灵魂，否则机器无法完全取代人类进行自然语言的意义传达。故作者认为电脑很难做到恰当的翻译。 【11题详解】 文章首段提出消除语言障碍的设想，中间论述了技术现状及翻译的困难，结尾得出结论机器难以完全取代人类。全文围绕语言障碍能否真正消除这一核心问题展开讨论。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Starting high school life can be a big challenge for many students, but with the right strategies, it can be a smooth change. ____12____.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述Jennifer车祸昏迷五年，母亲Peggy不离不弃，用爱与信念创造奇迹，最终唤醒女儿，展现了母爱的伟大力量。 【17题详解】 句意：在她把三个儿子送到学校后，她遭遇车祸撞上了电线杆。 空后是送孩子上学的动作，drop off（送……下车）符合语境；put out扑灭、bring in引进、break down出故障，均和送孩子上学语义不符。 【18题详解】 句意：这场严重的事故开启了长达五年漫长的康复之路。 上文刚提到had a car accident车祸，accident（事故）对应前文撞车事件；challenge挑战、flash闪光、impression印象，不能指代车祸。 【19题详解】 句意：五年间，Jennifer的妈妈Peggy一直守在女儿身边。 stay by one’s side是固定搭配“守在某人身边”；walk走路、stop停下、cry哭泣，无法搭配by her side表达陪护含义。 【20题详解】 句意：尽管医生说情况很差，像Jennifer这样的病人很难苏醒，但Peggy仍然心存希望。 后文提到妈妈坚信好事会发生，hope（希望）契合人物心态；choice选择、decision决定、request请求，不符合不肯放弃的语境。 【21题详解】 句意：Jennifer能醒来的概率很小，只有百分之二到三。 后文2 to 3 percent（2%-3%）说明概率很低，small（微小的）修饰chance；confusing令人困惑的、extra额外的、real真实的，不能形容几率小。 【22题详解】 句意：难过很正常，但没必要一直沉浸在悲伤里。 there’s no need to do是固定句型“没必要做某事”；responsibility责任、time时间、money金钱，无法构成该固定搭配。 【23题详解】 句意：医院很多工作人员告诉Peggy或许她该放弃Jennifer。 tell sb. that… 表示 “告诉某人……”；force逼迫、order命令、warn警告，医护只是提出建议，语气过重不符合文意。 【24题详解】 句意：她熬过了那些艰难灰暗的日子。 女儿昏迷、医生不看好，日子是dark（灰暗难熬的）；annoying烦人的、old老旧的、new崭新的，无法形容漫长煎熬的陪护时光。 【25题详解】 句意：一天，一件惊喜的事发生了：Jennifer一根手指开始动了。 昏迷五年后手指微动是令人惊喜的事，amazing（令人惊喜的）贴合；important重要的、necessary必要的、meaningful有意义的，侧重程度不对。 【26题详解】 句意：Peggy想要唤醒女儿的信心变得更加坚定。 女儿手指活动后，妈妈唤醒女儿的confidence（信心）变强；means方式、curiosity好奇心、goal目标，和内心坚定的情绪不符。 【27题详解】 句意：她尝试各种各样的办法帮助Jennifer。 try different ways是固定搭配“尝试不同方法”；compare对比、exchange交换、design设计，不能搭配ways表示想方设法。 【28题详解】 句意：她坚定的信念最终帮助Jennifer醒了过来。 历经五年照料，女儿最后苏醒，finally（最终）体现漫长过程后的结果；awkwardly笨拙地、suddenly突然、obviously明显地，不符合五年漫长等待的逻辑。 【29题详解】 句意：Jennifer好转的故事诠释了母爱有多伟大、人的意志有多强大。 整篇文章是母女的亲身经历，story（故事）指代整件事；memory回忆、strategy策略、influence影响，不能概括全文事件。 【30题详解】 句意：这个故事表明，拥有母爱与坚定信念，再灰暗的岁月也能被温暖治愈。 show表示“表明、说明”，用事例印证道理；report报道、suggest建议、promise许诺，主语是故事，语义不匹配。 【31题详解】 句意：靠着母爱和强大的信念，困境终能被战胜。 前文多次提到妈妈的strong belief（坚定信念），belief信念；power力量（前文已有a lot of power避免重复）、personality性格、hand手，呼应全文妈妈的执着信仰。 第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Elephants are one of the most intelligent creatures on the earth. Across Africa they have inspired respect from people ____32____ share the landscape with them, giving them strong ____33____ (culture) significance. They’re very important species, playing ____34____ important role in maintaining the biodiversity of ecosystems. During the dry season, elephants use their tusks ____35____ (dig) for water. This not only allows the elephants to survive in dry environments, but also ____36____ (provide) water for other animals that share the harsh habitats. When forest elephants eat, they create gaps in the vegetation. These gaps allow new plants to grow and create pathways for smaller animals to use. They’re also one of the major ____37____ (way) in which trees spread their seeds; some species rely ____38____ (entire) upon elephants for seed spreading. Wherever they live, elephants leave dung (粪便) that is filled ____39____ seeds from the plants they eat. When the dung gets into the soil, the seeds are sown and grow into new grasses, bushes and trees ____40____ (improve) the health of the savannah (稀树草原) ecosystem. Sadly, we’re losing elephants worldwide, especially in Africa, due to illegal hunting. Action should ____41____ (take) to protect this species. 【答案】32. who##that 33. cultural 34. an 35. to dig 36. provides 37. ways 38. entirely 39. with 40. improving 41. be taken 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了大象作为地球上最聪明的生物之一，在生态系统中扮演着至关重要的角色。文中详细阐述了大象如何通过挖掘水源、传播种子以及排泄粪便等方式维持生物多样性，最后呼吁人们采取行动保护这一物种免受非法狩猎的威胁。 【32题详解】 句意：在非洲各地，它们赢得了与它们共享这片土地的人们的尊重。分析句子结构可知，“______ share the landscape with them”是一个定语从句，修饰先行词“people”。在从句中缺少主语，且指代人，需使用关系代词who/that。 【33题详解】 句意：赋予了它们重要的文化意义。此处修饰后面的名词“significance”，需要用形容词形式。括号内给出的词是“culture”，其形容词形式为cultural。 【34题详解】 句意：它们在维持生态系统生物多样性方面发挥着重要作用。固定短语“play an important role in...”意为“在……方面发挥重要作用”。由于“important”是以元音音素开头的单词，应使用不定冠词an。 【35题详解】 句意：在旱季，大象用它们的长牙挖掘水源。此处表示目的，即“为了挖掘”，应用动词不定式作目的状语。 【36题详解】 句意：这不仅让大象能够在干旱环境中生存，也为其他动物提供了水源。分析句子结构，“not only... but also...”连接两个并列的谓语动词。前一个谓语是“allows”，因此后一个动词provide也应变为第三人称单数形式provides。 【37题详解】 句意：它们也是树木传播种子的主要方式之一。“one of the+复数名词”是固定搭配，意为“……之一”。括号内的“way”是可数名词，需变为复数形式ways。 【38题详解】 句意：有些物种完全依赖大象来传播种子。此处修饰动词短语“rely upon”，需要用副词形式。括号内的“entire”是形容词，其副词形式为entirely。 【39题详解】 句意：无论它们生活在哪里，大象都会留下充满它们所吃植物种子的粪便。固定短语“be filled with”意为“充满……”，相当于“full of”。 【40题详解】 句意：当粪便进入土壤，种子被播种并长成新的草、灌木和树木，从而改善了稀树草原生态系统的健康。此处表示自然而然的结果，应用现在分词作结果状语。 【41题详解】 句意：应该采取行动来保护这个物种。主语“Action”与动词take之间是被动关系，且情态动词“should”后接动词原形。因此需用被动语态“should be done”的结构，即should be taken。 第三节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面的短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 My son was entering Grade 1. He was a bit nervous because he knew his best friend would not be in his new class. I explained to him that even though his best friend would not be in his class, he would still have some of his old classmates. On the first day of school when the class list was posted, I was shocked! My son had zero former classmates in his class. None. Not one. How could this happen? I asked my friend who works with the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board. She explained, “Many largely populated schools often shuffle (弄混) the kids around each year to encourage new friendships.” If schools are actively trying to place two best friends in different classes simply to shake things up, I think it is a blunder. I was lucky enough to attend the same primary school all the way through. It was a small class and our group of students moved through each grade together. We felt like brothers and sisters. It was wonderful. While it may be good to shake things up a bit in the older grades, it seems almost cruel (残忍的) to separate good friends in the younger grades without good cause. One mom named Karen says that her son is always starting a new grade without any close friends. At first, she thought it was a good idea. Then she realized one thing—her son does not have a “best friend,” which makes her pretty worried. In fact, she thinks that he does not have any close friends because his classmates are always changing. Part of a school’s responsibility is to provide a safe and comfortable space for children to learn and grow. If that environment is always changing—causing terrible results—perhaps it is time to rethink this practice. 42. Why do many populated schools often shuffle the kids around each year? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 43. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 5 probably mean? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 44. Why did the author mention her own primary school experience? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 45. What is Karen’s attitude toward the practice of her son’s school? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 46. What kind of friends do you like to make? Please explain. __________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】42. To encourage new friendships. 43. Mistake. 44. To show the benefit of keeping familiar classmates. 45. She is against it. 46. I like honest friends. Because honesty builds trust. We can share secrets and help each other grow together./I like to make true and kind friends. They can support me and make me feel happy./... 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者发现儿子上一年级时被分到一个没有老同学的班级，从而引发对学校每年打乱学生分班做法的思考与讨论，认为这种做法对低年级学生不利。 【42题详解】 根据文章第四段中“Many largely populated schools often shuffle (弄混) the kids around each year to encourage new friendships.（许多人数众多的学校每年都会让孩子们混班，以鼓励新的友谊）”，可推知结论学校这样做是为了鼓励新的友谊。故填“To encourage new friendships.”。 【43题详解】 根据文章第七段中“it seems almost cruel (残忍的) to separate good friends... without good cause.（在没有正当理由的情况下让好朋友分开似乎是残忍的）”以及最后一段中“perhaps it is time to rethink this practice（也许是时候重新考虑这种做法了）”，可推知结论作者认为这是一个错误的做法，划线词意为错误。故填“Mistake.”。 【44题详解】 根据文章第六段中“We felt like brothers and sisters. It was wonderful.（我们感觉就像兄弟姐妹。太棒了）”，可推知结论作者提及自己的经历是为了展示拥有熟悉同学的好处。故填“To show the benefit of keeping familiar classmates.”。 【45题详解】 根据文章第八段中“which makes her pretty worried.（这让她很担心）”及“In fact, she thinks that he does not have any close friends because his classmates are always changing.（事实上，她认为他没有好朋友是因为同学总是在变）”，可推知结论凯伦反对她儿子学校的这种做法。故填“She is against it.”。 【46题详解】 本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一。根据“你喜欢交什么样的朋友？请解释一下。”可回答我喜欢诚实的朋友。因为诚实建立信任。我们可以分享秘密并互相帮助成长。故填“I like honest friends. Because honesty builds trust. We can share secrets and help each other grow together./I like to make true and kind friends. They can support me and make me feel happy./...”。 Ⅲ．写作(满分20分) 47. 随着科技的发展，越来越多的电子设备逐渐进入我们的生活中。平板电脑（tablet）既可以帮助我们学习知识，又可以用来玩电子游戏。请你用英文写一篇短文，谈谈中学生使用tablet的利与弊。写作要点： 1．使用tablet在学习和生活方面的好处； 2．使用tablet对学生课堂和学习产生的负面影响； 3．提出自己的建议并说明理由。 注意： 1．要点齐全，可适当发挥，条理清晰，意思连贯，语句通顺； 2．写作词数100词左右; 3．不可出现任何真实姓名或校名。 ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With the development of technology, tablets are widely used by middle school students. They bring both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, tablets help students look up information quickly, take notes easily, and learn online, making study more convenient. Besides, we can read e-books, get news and keep in touch with friends in daily life. On the other hand, some students get addicted to games or social media, which distracts them from class and harms their eyesight. In my opinion, students should use tablets only for study tasks. Teachers and parents should also guide them to use them properly. Only in this way can we make good use of tablets. 【解析】 【详解】写作步骤： [第一步：审题立意] 确定文体：议论文，以一般现在时为主 明确要点：中学生使用平板电脑的好处、负面影响、个人建议及理由 确定人称：第一人称（I/my） 注意事项：不得透露真实姓名和学校名称，词数约100词 [第二步：构思布局] 三段式结构： 开头段：总起句，引出平板电脑在中学生生活中的现象，点明其利弊并存 主体段：分别阐述平板电脑的好处、负面影响 结尾段：提出个人建议并说明理由，升华主题 [第三步：要点展开] 要点一：平板使用利弊 助力学习：look up information quickly/take notes easily/learn online/search for materials/study at home 方便生活：read e-books/get news/keep in touch with friends/watch educational videos/join online interest groups 带来弊端：get addicted to games or social media/distracts them from class/harms their eyesight/waste spare time/influence grades 要点二：规范使用建议 限定用途：use tablets only for study tasks/finish homework/review lessons 师长引导、善用设备：guide them to use them properly/make good use of tablets/set rules/control screen time 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
