河北省保定市2022-2023学年高三上学期12月联考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Shakespeare’s writing shaped our modern language, but how did his plays describe the landscape of 15th- and 16th-century Britain? This guide will take you on a mini tour of the poet’s favoured locations.Pontefract Castle, Y orkshireIn its prime, Pontefract Castle was one of the most powerful forts (堡垒) in Europe, but its fearful reputation was once so strong that the poet used it to suggest power and terror. In Richard II, Pontefract is the terrible scene of the king’s murder and three men are condemned to death at the castle in Richard III. Now, Pontefract is the perfect destination for a fearful yet fascinating day out.Sandal Castle, West YorkshireFirst built from wood in the 12th century, by the 13th century Sandal Castle had become an impressive stone forts. In the 15th century, the castle found itself at the centre of a long and bloody battle. It was this conflict that inspired Shakespeare’s Henry VI. The site of the battlefield is now a peaceful farm and all that remains of the once grand castle are broken walls.Dunsinane Hill, PerthshireA castle built atop Dunsinane Hill in Scotland is one of the dramatic backdrops to the blood-soaked horror of Shakespeare’s shortest tragedy, Macbeth. Today, the hill has the remains of two forts, one of which is the site on which the real Macbeth suffered a military defeat in 1054.Forest of Arden, WarwickshireSituated in Shakespeare’s home county of Warwickshire, Arden was once a heavily wooded area and provides the complex setting for the poet’s pastoral comedy. Visitors can enjoy several picturesque walks around the young forest, which is now home to over a million new trees.1．What did Shakespeare use Pontefract Castle to stand for?A．Hope and anger.B．Life and death.C．Power and fear.D．Past and history. 2．What is Shakespeare’s inspiration for Henry VI?A．The surroundings of Sandal Castle.B．A long battle happening at Sandal Castle.C．The impressive buildings of Sandal Castle.D．Shakespeare’s preference forSandal Castle.3．Where was Shakespeare born?A．In Yorkshire.B．In West Yorkshire.C．In Perthshire.D．InWarwickshire.Norma Newcombe has been a nurse for nearly 60 years. She started her career at a hospital for babies in August 1958, but she has no plans to retire.She has worked with Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust for 40 years. She has been a full-time school nurse since 1973.

Despite hitting the milestone, Norma has no plans to slow down.Norma’s colleagues surprised her with a party at her workplace, where she was gifted flowers and jewellery. Rabina Tindale, chief nurse in the hospital, said, “We are extremely proud to have Norma as part of our team and access to her significant experience and wisdom.

Paleontologists (古生物学家) divide fossils into two main groups. Some fossils, called body fossils, show the structure of the plant or the animal. They form directly from the remains of plants and animals. Other fossils, called trace fossils. They record signs of animal or plant activities, such as walking, feeding, scratching, or even resting.Most animals and plants don’t become fossils after they die. They break down into little bits or may be eaten by other animals. But some remains get buried too fast, avoiding those things happening. An animal might die near a body of water and sink to the bottom, where its remains get covered in sediment (沉积物). As sediment builds up, mineral-rich water seeps into the remains, leaving minerals in the tiny spaces of the bones and even replacing the original bones. The new minerals react with those in the animal’s remains and then harden into fossils.Most fossils are buried deep in the Earth. As the Earth’s surface changes, scientists can dig up new fossils and learn more about past life and the Earth’s history. In rock that formed before a certain time, roughly 2.8 million years ago, scientists will not find human fossils.Fossils are our keys to understanding prehistoric life and the Earth’s history. By studying fossils, we learn about a great variety of plants and animals that lived in the past. We can know what they looked like, how and where they moved and what they ate. By comparing fossils from different time periods, we can track the evolution of a species, see how it adapted to changes in its environment, and understand more about the climate and environment where the fossils were buried.8．What can we learn from paragraph 1?A．Fossils are remains of plants and animals.B．Trace fossils only tell us the activities of animals.C．Trace fossils form directly from the remains of creatures.D．Body fossils show almost the original structure of creatures.9．What is the main idea of paragraph 2?A．Where we can find fossils.B．How animals and plants become fossils.C．Different fossils have different features.D．Which methods are used to study fossils. 10．What does the underlined phrase “seeps into” in paragraph 2 mean?A．Engages in.B．Succeeds in.C．Delights in.D．Sinks in. 11．What does the author think of the research of fossils?A．Ridiculous.B．Complex.C．Significant.D．Inspiring.You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Laughter is the best medicine.” Comedy on Referral has taken that idea and run with it, using standup comedy to help treat people struggling with trauma (精神创伤) and anxiety in partnership with the National Health Service (NHS).The idea came from comedian Angie Belcher’s experiences teaching comedy at University of Bristol. She found that students often told her how much stronger and more resilient (有适应力的) they were thanks to standup comedy.Inspired, she teamed up with the NHS in Bristol to create a six-week comedy course for patients struggling with trauma in January 2022. Following the success of this initial course, Comedy on Referral won NHS funding to help men with trauma in London.Belcher said, “Past traumas are perfect for comedy. Comedy doesn’t come from the happy, perfect moments of your life, but from our everyday struggles and major life events. People who’ve been through big life experiences such as losing a loved one and ill health often can’t wait to tell me their stories, mostly because there’s always something especially funny about the situation.”Research has shown that laughter has positive psychological effects, such as decreasing levels of cortisol—the stress hormone—and increasing endorphins (内啡肽). It can even have physiological benefits, although less research has been done in this area. Current research has linked laughter and humour with increased levels of pain tolerance as well as short-term cardiovascular benefits. More research is needed to prove these findings.Nonetheless, the mental health benefits of regular laughter are widely accepted, and using comedy to treat mental health struggles could be a real breakthrough in the treatment of mental health.12．Why is the phrase mentioned in paragraph 1?A．To stress the importance of laugh.B．To explain the harm trauma causes.C．To show the effect of standup comedy.D．To state the idea behind Comedy on Referral.13．How was the first six-week comedy course for patients?A．Effective.B．Ambiguous.C．Controversial.D．Fruitless. 14．What may contribute to a comedy according to Belcher?A．Struggling moments.B．Funny moments.C．Happy moments.D．Successful moments.15．What is the best title for the text?A．Laugh will cure you of all diseases B．Anxiety can also make you feel better C．Laughter is useful to people’s mental health D．Comedy is one thing that can make you struggle二、七选五Awake? Here Is How to Return to SleepIt is usual for people to wake up a few times during the night. Older people often get up to go to the bathroom. Waking at night usually is not a problem.But what about some other people? If it happens a few times a week, there may be a troublesome reason. 16 . Such sleep difficulties are called insomnia (失眠).You may wake up, look at the clock and worry about your work. There may be stressful things on your mind. These feelings may activate (激活) a stress hormone in your body. If you worry that you can’t sleep, it may make it harder to fall asleep.17 . If you are awake 25 minutes or more, get out of bed and do something quiet. Gentle stretches or breathing exercises might help. Meditation also may work.

Then she kept falling, and falling. When the lifelong Chicagoan finally touched the ground last Sunday, she landed in the history books and became the oldest person to ever sky-dive (跳伞).As Hoffner prepared to board, she pushed her red walker out and walked slowly to the plane, where two expert instructors helped her up the steps into the hold. “Let’s go!” she said, finally seated. The plane quickly rose, Hoffner looking calm and confident all the while.When the aft (机尾) door opened to show the crop fields far below, she and the instructor were ready to stand up. When Hoffner first sky-dived at 100 years old, she was pushed out, she said. This time, she wanted to lead the jump.Seven minutes after her jump, she moved slowly in the air for her historic landing. The wind pushed back her white hair. A look of excitement and wonder spread across her face. She picked up her legs as the ground approached. And finally, she managed to land on the ground.The crowd gathered along the landing area. Friends rushed to share the moment. Someone brought over Hoffner’s red walker. She rose fast, and a reporter asked how it felt to be back on the ground. “The whole thing was wonderful, and couldn’t have been better,” she said.The Guinness World Record for oldest skydiver was set in May 2022 by 103-year-oldLinnéa Ingegard Larsson from Sweden. When asked how it felt like to break the record, Hoffner replied quickly, “Like I’m old.” But the record didn’t seem to interest Hoffner before the jump. Instead, she focused on the peaceful falling through the sky. Hoffner strongly encouraged others to sky-dive like her. “It’s surprisingly affordable and so amazing,” she said.4．What did Hoffner do last Sunday?A．She reported a sports event.B．She managed to sky-dive.C．She celebrated her birthday.D．She wrote a history book.5．How did Hoffner feel after landing on the ground?A．Surprised.B．Anxious.C．Excited.D．Hopeless. 6．Which probably attracted Hoffner most before her jump?A．The falling in the air.B．Her family’s help.C．The low cost of the jump.D．Her friends’ support.7．What can we learn from Hoffner’s story?A．To see is to believe.B．Time tells everything.C．Hard work pays off.D．Age is just a number.Sometimes parents wonder if they should really give their children chores (家务活). After all, isn’t it the parents’ responsibility to manage the household? And don’t children need an opportunity to “just be children” for now because they have the rest of their lives to worry about chores?Most children have really busy schedules. They rush around from one activity to another with little time to clean the house. Despite those concerns, however, giving your children chores may be one of the most important things you’ll ever do.While giving your children chores can certainly take some of the stress off you, that’s not the only reason you should expect your children to do the chores. Studies show chores are good for children. Research from a well-known 75-year Harvard study shows that chores can shape children to be more likely to become happy, healthy and independent adults.Why are chores like sweeping the floor and clearing the table so important to children’s happiness in life? One reason is that children feel a sense of achievement when they do their chores. No matter whether they’re making their beds or they’re sweeping the floor, helping out around the house makes children feel capable. Doing chores also helps children feel like they’re part of the team and learn responsibility. Helping family members is good for them and it encourages them to be good adults.Children who do chores gain important life skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. Life skills such as meal preparation, mowing the lawn, or doing the laundry will be important after high school, which helps your children live independently.8．Why does the author raise questions in paragraph 1?A．To express doubts.B．To make a warning.C．To lead in the topic.D．To provide background information. 9．What helps children grow up healthily according to research from the Harvard study?A．Chores.B．Less homework.C．School activities.D．Learning schedules.10．What does the underlined word “capable” mean in paragraph 4?A．Tired.B．Nervous.C．Having no time.D．Having the ability.11．What does this text focus on?A．Skills to deal with chores.B．Advantages of doing chores.C．The importance of life skills.D．Ways to balance study and chores.Spending time outdoors has long been linked (联系) to better health. Gardening goes beyond just beautifying outdoor spaces—it can have a deep effect on our physical and mental (身心上的) health.Gardening involves physical activity that works all the main muscle (肌肉) groups, which is helpful for overall health. “Activities such as digging, planting, weeding and harvesting require movement and can help to improve strength,” said Clayton, CEO of an online lawn care company. “Performing these activities regularly can help burn calories, and keep a healthy weight.”Beyond burning calories and building muscle, lots of studies have shown that gardening can improve the immune system (免疫系统). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that people get at least 150 minutes of exercise each week, and gardening is listed as a suitable activity. Doing garden work for that time each week can reduce the risk of obesity, high blood pressure and heart disease. Additionally, spending time outdoors makes us get close to natural sunlight, which is important for vitamin D synth.Gardening provides a chance for social connection, too. It can be a shared activity among family members, friends or neighbors, building relationships and a sense of belonging.Gardening also offers cognitive (认知的) benefits. It excites the senses, improves focus and encourages problem-solving and creativity. It provides a chance to learn about plants, ecosystems and the environment, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature.12．What is Clayton’s attitude towards gardening?A．Supportive.B．Doubtful.C．Unclear D．Uncaring. 13．What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about gardening?A．It improves focus.B．It is a waste of time.C．It can keep a body in shape.D．It helps to reduce the risk of diseases. 14．How does gardening affect social connection according to the text?A．It contributes to creativity.B．It encourages problem-solving.C．It builds relationships between people.D．It improves people’s awareness of safety.15．What is the best title for the text?A．How to Start a Garden B．Choose a Garden or NotC．What Plants Grow Best in a Garden D．Start Gardening and Get the HealthBenefitsForgiveness (宽恕) is often considered as an important decision to let go of feelings of anger towards someone who you believe has wronged you. However, while you may be quite generous in your ability to forgive others, you can be much harder on yourself. 16 .Accept the result of your actionsForgiving yourself is about more than just putting the past behind you and moving on.17 . Facing what you have done or what has happened is the first step towards self-forgiveness. It’s also the hardest step. If you have been making excuses in order to make them seem acceptable, it is time to accept what you have done.Treat yourself with kindness and compassion (同情)Forgiving yourself requires facing your actions, but it is important to reach this with self-compassion. 18 . Try to be compassionate instead of being self-critical (自我批评的).19Making a correction is an important part of forgiveness, even when the person you are forgiving is yourself. One way to move past your regret is to take action to correct your mistakes.Learn from the experienceForgiving yourself often requires finding a way to learn from the experience and make an active effort to do better in the future. To do this, you need to understand why you behave the way you did and why you feel sorry. What steps can you take to prevent the same behaviors again in the future? 20 , rather than feel sorry about those past mistakes.A．Make a correctionB．Be aware of others’ feelingsC．It is about accepting what has happenedD．The following steps may help you learn how to forgive yourselfE．You need to tell yourself that thoughts are not factsF．Remind yourself of what you learned to guide your actions going forwardG．The key is to treat yourself with the same kindness you show to another person二、完形填空her to keep her body balance when climbing over some rocks.When she reached a part of the beach entrance, she found there was a large step down.

Experienced surfers can head to popular surf spots like Ho’okipa Beach and Kaanapali Beach to catch waves, while animal lovers can look for migrating whales during a whale watching cruise (乘船游览). To save some coin, book your Maui hotel and airfare at least a few months in advance.WhitehorseWhitehorse is the capital of Canada’s Y ukon region. You can visit the SS Klondike National Historic Site and the MacBride Museum to learn about Whitehorse’s ties to the Klondike Gold Rush and the First Nations people who settled here during the ice age. Then, travel outside of Whitehorse to check out some of the Yukon’s breathtaking natural attractions, such as Kluane National Park and Reserve and see the northern lights in March.Galapagos IslandsWhile you can spot wildlife in the Galápagos year-round, March is nesting season for animals like green sea turtles and red-footed boobies.

Zhang, 20, a freshman at Wuhan University of Engineering Science, is among the students taking part in the institution’s volunteer project, Dream Fulfillment Plan.The project’s founder, Yu Jinwen, 35, a teacher at Wuhan University of Engineering Science, said that as of last month, the volunteers had taken wedding photos for more than 1,000 couples. They also interviewed their subjects and recorded their love stories.The project was inspired by Yu’s regret at not having a good photo of his grandfather, who died in 2010. The family searched hard but was unable to find a quality shot. In desperation, Yu had to use the photo on his grandfather’s ID card as a portrait. In 2014, Yu led students applying to launch a volunteer service project, and came up with the idea of taking good photographs for the elderly free of charge.“When these couples were young, there was no opportunity to take wedding photos. We can help them by taking special shots to bring back good memories of their younger days,” Yu said. Initially, he found it difficult to acquire wedding dresses and photographic equipment. However, one of his former classmates, who owned a wedding photography company in Wuhan, donated more than 70 secondhand wedding dresses to the project. Yu formed the first team, which consisted of 15 volunteers.The project, which has grown over the years, now comprises 13 groups with a total of 590 volunteers. They have worked in 356 communities and rural areas across 43 cities in 13provinces nationwide, gaining recognition and appreciation for their work. In 2021, the project won the silver prize at the sixth Chinese Youth Volunteer Service Project Competition. 4．What is the purpose of Dream Fulfillment Plan?A．To offer opportunities to students to find jobs.B．To help elderly couples realize their wedding photo dream.C．To make Wuhan University of Engineering Science known.D．To encourage more university students to do voluntary work.5．What motivated Yu Jinwen to launch the project?A．His wish in childhood.B．His passion for photography.C．Lack of good photos for his late grandfather.D．The encouragement of his teachers. 6．What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?A．The members of the project.B．The achievements of the project.C．The promising future of the project.D．The support given by the public. 7．What is the main idea of the text?A．Student volunteers help elderly couples turn the clock back.B．Wuhan University of Engineering Science launched a project.C．Taking good wedding photos for elderly people is no easy task.D．Wedding photos for elderly people become more and more popular.A museum in France found out recently that over half of their paintings were fakes (赝品). The museum was created to show the works of the painter Etienne Terrus, but over 80of 140 paintings were by other people.Etienne Terrus was born in El ne in 1857, and died there in 1922. Terrus visited Paris, but unlike many other painters at the time, he did not move there. Instead, he spent a lot of time near El ne and painted scenes from the area. Terrus is important to the people of Elne because of this tie.The Terrus Museum has been collecting artwork by Terrus for almost 20 years. Most of the art works have been bought in the last few years. The museum spent about $190,000 to buy paintings, drawings, and watercolours. Some pieces of art have also been given to the museum.The museum recently closed for about 4 months while the building was being renovated. As they were getting ready to re-open the museum, people from the museum asked EricForcada to help them figure out how to organize the paintings.Mr. Forcada studies art history. As he looked at the works of art that the museum had, it didn’t take him long to find out that something was wrong. Some paintings didn’t look at all like Terrus’s work or were painted on the wrong kind of canvas. Some paintings showed buildings that had been built a long time after Mr. Terrus died. Several paintings had the name of the artist written in ink on the painting. Mr. Forcada said, “On one painting, the ink signature was wiped away when I passed my white glove over it. Over 80 of 140 paintings were by other people.”Mr. Forcada says that problems like these are more common for small museums like the Terrus Museum. Unlike big museums, small ones don’t have enough money to pay experts to check out artwork carefully. The good news for the Terrus Museum is that experts say that almost 58 of their Terrus paintings are real.8．Why does Étienne Terrus mean a lot to the people of Elne?A．He was born there.B．His paintings were breathtaking.C．He created many works from Elne’s scenes.D．He differs from other painters of his time.9．How did the museum obtain most of the paintings?A．They were mainly purchased.B．Some painters donated them.C．The staff painted them.D．They were renewed from the old ones. 10．What does the underlined word “renovated” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A．Destroyed.B．Constructed.C．Moved.D．Repaired.11．What is the best title for the text?A．Etienne Terrus Was a Born Landscape PainterB．Over Half of a French Museum’s Paintings Are FakesC．Some Experts Proved the Art Works Not RealD．Small Museums Lack Money to Buy PaintingsHaze (薄雾) and smoke from hundreds of Canadian wildfires covered most of the US Northeast for a second day — Wednesday, with New York City experiencing the world’s worst air quality over the last two days.New York, the Big Apple became the Big Orange by midday Wednesday as the sky overthe nation’s largest city fell into a deep hazy orange. Streets in Manhattan are like what they were like during the pandemic (流行病) as residents again wore masks and cared for warnings from health officials about the impact of PM2.5, which can lead to respiratory (呼吸的) illnesses.New York Governor Kathy Hochul said on Wednesday that the state was making one million N95 masks available to the public. Approximately 400,000 N95 masks would be distributed at New York state parks, and at subway stations and other locations in New York City, Hochul said at a press briefing. An additional 600,000 masks would be made available at Homeland Security stockpiles (囤聚的物资) for local governments to pick up, she said.Hochul called the poor air quality “a very serious, dangerous situation”. She recommended that people across the state cancel outdoor activities. “Simply stay indoors. Outdoors is dangerous in just about every part of our state,” the governor said. Officials at the briefing said they had been monitoring any potential rise in respiratory illnesses or health issues due to the poor air quality.The city’s air was more polluted than all the world’s major cities on Wednesday morning, according to data from Swiss technology company IQAir. Dubai and Delhi came in second and third, respectively. Mike Hardiman, a staff in the National Weather Service, told The New York Times the city “smells like cigars”.12．Why do people wear masks in New York?A．Because of health concern.B．Because of the pandemic.C．Because of officials’ demand.D．Because of their habits.13．What message does Paragraph 3 convey?A．New York has good welfare system.B．N95 masks can settle the crisis.C．The public’s support is vital.D．The government took measures to handle the issue.14．What kind of activity might Hochul recommend?A．Camping.B．Doing housework.C．Fishing.D．Climbing mountains.15．What does Mike Hardiman mean by saying the city “smells like cigars”?A．The city is polluted by cigars.B．Cigars have very good smell.C．The air quality in the city is terrible.D．There are too many smokers in the city.Clever Ways to Organize Y our RefrigeratorWhen you’re watching your grocery budget, a refrigerator can be your best friend. It’s great for people who only occasionally have time to cook. Because you can either buy ready-made meals or make up big batches periodically and divvy them up for convenient weeknight meals. The issue, of course, is freezer organization. Having wonderful food on hand is just annoying if you can’t actually find it when you want it! 16iDesign Linus Divided Refrigerator Storage BinA lot of the convenience foods we put into the refrigerator come in boxes. 17 This is because they tend to slide around and fall over. A clear storage bin with dividers (分隔物), like the one from iDesign, is just what you need. 18 So it’s small enough to be a good fit for refrigerators. The divider means boxed items will still stand upright. In most refrigerators, you’ll be able to fit two or more as needed, and they’ll slide out for easy access to items at the back.YouCopia FreezeUp Refrigerator BinAnother type of “problem packaging” is the stand-up, zipper-seal bags that many kinds of fruit and vegetables are sold in. They’re convenient to use, but there’s not really a good way to pile or organize them when they go back into the refrigerator. This refrigerator bin from YouCopia, with its four or six removable dividers, is just the thing to keep them in line. It’s clear and has a low wall at one side. 19 You can put those packages in and take out of the refrigerator without effort.Removable Refrigerator Food LabelsPhysical organizing isn’t the only kind you’ll need to do to get the most out of your refrigerator and its contents. 20 In this case labels will be needed. Labeling everything that goes into your refrigerator will help you keep track not just of the contents of each bag and package, but also to know which items need to be used up in which order. These labels from Chinco are just the thing. They’ll stick to storage bags or containers made of plastic and glass, but after they’ve been used, they’ll peel off easily and leave no residue (残留) behind.A．It’s popular due to its small size.B．It’s just 11 inches deep and 5 inches wide.C．So it’s easy to see what you’ve got.D．You need to make full use of your refrigerator.E．Small boxes in particular can be a pain to store.F．Now we have got the clever solutions to the problem.G．You’ll also need to keep track of what’s in there.二、完形填空It was a normal Wednesday by any measure.

Researchers varied the price tags placed on the sugary drinks over the eight-week study: one tag that simply said the price for the 12-ounce drink($1.52)and one that had the price and the message "Includes SF Sugary Drink Tax". All non-sugary drinks, which weren't subject to the tax, simply had the price of the drink($1.40).The researchers compared sales of the drinks during the study period to the two weeks before the study began when the sugary drink tax was in effect but there were no price tags on any drinks. Results showed sales of sugary drinks weren't lower during the two weeks, compared to sales before the tax, indicating the tax itself didn't reduce purchases of sugary drinks.The researchers then looked at the effects of the two different price tags. Results showed the share of sugary drinks purchased when the tags simply showed the price wasn't significantly different from the two-week period before the study, but did decline slightly when the tags mentioned the price included the added tax.In a separate online study, the researchers asked participants to estimate what the tax wouldbe on a can of their favorite drink that cost $1.52.The average estimate was 40 cents-much higher than the 12 cents actually demanded in San Francisco. When told the tax was only 12 cents, they reported they'd still purchase the drink.The findings suggest price tags should mention the tax but not the amount, for consumers tend to overestimate how much the tax is. "If cities want these policies to be effective, they need to regulate how sugary drinks are labeled at stores and they currently don't do that," said Donnelly, lead author of the study.4．What does the underlined word "flaw" mean in the first paragraph?A.Weakness.B.Solution.C.Imbalance.D.Evidence.5．What kind of price tags may discourage customers from buying sugary drinks?A.Price tags bearing sugar content.B.Price tags with the exact tax on them.C.Price tags saying added tax included.D.Price tags just showing the total price. 6．Which of the following may be Donnelly's suggestion?A.Stores label sugary drinks at will.B.Cancel sugary drink taxes at once.C.Publicize the impacts of sugary drinks.D.Cities urge stores to use proper price tags. 7．What might be the best title for the text?A.A New Way to Prevent FatnessB.Eating Habits and Food ConsumptionC.Sugary Drink Taxes Aren't Working WellD.Non-sugary Drinkers Benefit from New PoliciesHumans are emotional beings, showing feelings in our behavior and facial expressions. But whether these mean the same thing in different cultures has been hotly debated. Now a new study has found that in different social contexts, such as weddings, funerals and sports, people indeed show universal facial expressions.For the new study, Alan Cowen’s team used a machine learning model, Deep Neural Network (DNN), to systematically analyze facial expressions in thousands of different contexts. These contexts come from more than six million videos uploaded to YouTube by people in 144 countries.Facial expressions were rated by English speakers in India by selecting applicable emotions from a list of 31 labels, resulting in a total of 16 distinct facial expressions. Meanwhile, contexts were classified in a separate experiment. The results showed that people from different cultures share about 70% of the facial expressions used in response to different social and emotional situations.“This supports Darwin’s theory that expressing emotions in our faces is universal among humans,” the study co-lead author Dacher Keltner said. “The physical display of our emotions may define who we are as a species, enhancing our communication and cooperation skills an d ensuring our survival.”However, Lisa Barrett, from the Northeastern University College of Science notes that the English speakers in India were given the emotional word ratings rather than labeling the expressions themselves. They used emotion labels su ch as “anger” “fear” and “sadness” instead of descriptive terms, thereby inferring the emotions behind the expressions.She further comments that the raters (评定者) saw the faces in contexts which can’t necessarily be separated from the emotions themselves, and that the key point is that the raters are from just one country. “The ultimate value of Cowen and his colleagues’ study might lie not in the answers it provides,” she concludes, “but in the opportunity for further discovery that it opens up.”8．What can we learn from the text?A. The study is opposite to Darwin’s theory.B. People in different cultures show similar facial expressions.C. The team conducted the study by downloading facial expressions.D. Facial expressions and contexts were classified in the same experiment.9．How did Alan Cowen’s team conduct the study?A. By using a learning machine.B. By uploading videos to YouTube.C. By analyzing facial expressions.D. By using emotion labels.10．What can we infer from Dacher Keltner’s words?A. Social success is dependent on facial expressions.B. Facial expressions have constantly changed over time.C. Social skills reflect the ability of one’s expression management.D. Facial expressions play a vital role in humans’ development.11．What is Lisa Barrett’s attitude towards the study?A. Objective.B. Ambiguous.C. Critical.D. Contradictory.You may never know why the email will arrive and reasons offered for your rejection might be the real ones—or not. Bosses have always spied on their employees, then judged them. Now the rise of the online self means the employer’s eye can travel still farther.Even before the pandemic, research found that 28% of large companies had turned down applicants after carrying out such checks. And it is becoming more popular: Reed Screening,a large agency, was asked to run over a third more social-media checks in December this year than a year earlier. This month the government gave the practice approval when the Department for Education said schools and colleges “shou ld consider carrying out an online search as part of their due diligence (尽职调查)”.The way screening works is simple: Any “problematic” behaviours will be marked with a red flag. There are laws governing such online screening. David Erdos, head of the Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law, says that companies are supposed to warn candidates before screening their social media and tell them that they have the right to hold back permission. Some companies follow these rules, but others may not. As for the right to refuse, it is hardly practicable. “Who on earth is… going to be that person who says, ‘Hang on a minute. I’m not happy about that?’” asks Mr Erdos. “That itself is likely to be a red flag.”All agree that the spread of online screening is alarming, as it is so unforgiving. People may be unable ever to be free of their online past, says Mr Erdos. As indeed some footballers, recently punished for comments made almost a decade ago when they were but teenagers, have found to their cost.Those within the industry think laws should be tightened, with punishment for illegal act. In the meantime, being very careful is advisable. In talks to university students, Mr Erdos warns them what companies will do to their social media when they apply for j obs. “They are universally terrified,” he says. And rightly.12．What can we know about online screening from Paragraph 2?A. It is turned down by large companies.B. It boosts the development of education.C. It is becoming increasingly acceptable.D. It highlights the wisdom of employers.13．What do applicants tend to do with online screening?A. They reject the red flags.B. They have to submit to it.C. They will charge the company.D. They postpone carrying it out.14．What is Mr Erdos’ opinion on postin g comments online？A. Companies are tolerant of it.B. Its influence is hard to erase.C. It should be under strict laws.D. University students are free to do it. 15．What could be a suitable title for the text?A. Big Employer Is Watching YouB. Fix Your Eyes on Online ScreeningC. Social-media Checks Are Around the CornerD. Checks Online Are to Blame for Unemployment二、七选五16．Technology has changed our lives and reshapes the way we live. Some of us love it and some of us are frustrated (懊恼的) with it. This is clear as most of us are guilty of being addicted to the Internet and social media.①_______Technology has created a whole new world and brought endless opportunities.The invention of airplanes, ships and spacecraft always allows people to visit other countries and even other planets. As long as we follow the laws of immigration, we can go to any country we like.②_______In addition, technology is also used by a large number of teachers to improve their teaching.

Nowadays, instead of paying attention to the conversation we are having face to face, we just take the phone. We are distracted by sm artphones and technology in general. But we can’t blame technology. We should not blame ourselves, either.⑤_______Indeed, technology is addictive, but our focus shouldn’t be on phones or computers, but on people and face-to-face conversations.A. This gives students flexibility.B. What we need to do is to find some balance.C. This makes it easy for students to make progress.D. Nevertheless, we have seen some benefits of technology.E.

When I first moved to America, I started eating like most Americans do. But to my surprise, I started gaining weight quickly. I soon realized that the typical American diet was filled with hidden calories. With such a high calorie intake, the only way to lose weight seemed to be through a lot of exercise but time was not on my side. So after consulting professionals, I tried the Mediterranean diet, which focuses on healthy fats and whole foods. Slowly, I added Mediterranean recipes to my usual diet. After a month, my entire diet was Mediterranean-based.I felt energized, I felt full. But most importantly, I felt free. I wasn’t focusing on weight loss because I knew I was losing weight naturally. My experience inspired me to create: The Mediterranean Refresh, a book for anyone struggling with food. I’m here to tell you that if I can do it, you can too. My book isn’t for chefs; it’s for everyone.。

produced using a teabag．For those hoping to try an afternoon tea，there are many tea rooms up and down the country．The UK ha s a variety of holiday destinations，and whether you choose a stay in the

I’m writing to share with you an exciting experience I had last Friday.Our school held the textbook drama competition, and I participated in it with my classmates. We acted out a scene from William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. I played the role of Romeo, and it was a challenging but rewarding experience. We spent several weeks preparing for the competition, practicing our lines. On the day of the competition, we were all nervous but excited to perform. Despite some nerves, I think we did a great job and received a lot of positive feedback from the audience. Participating in the competition was a great opportunity for me to improve my acting skills and confidence. It also allowed me to work with my classmates and develop our teamwork skills. I learned a lot from the competition, and I’m grateful for the experience. What have you been up to lately? I hope you’re having a great time.Yours sincerely,Li Hua 续写I was stuck for five or six minutes though it felt much longer. Sweating and nearly tearing, I could imagine how silly and strange I was at that moment with my parentsand Jason continuously laughing around me. Every angle tried in vain, I was overwhelmed by a feeling of extreme regret and annoyance. At last, Dad was determined to break the pumpkin with the help of a sharp knife. “It’s done!” the voice from my dad seemed to be the most beautiful melody, and a breath of fresh air eventually entered. With my head getting out of the pumpkin and my body straightening, what I saw was a working camera. My dear mom was engaged in filming my embarrassing and awkward situation when her daughter was suffering!That video was posted the day before Halloween. To our surprise, the video caught many people’s eye online, racking up (累计) hundreds of thousands of views. Neighbors and friends recognized me and regarded me as a celebrity. It was when some reporters and TV stations called for interview that I truly realized how popular this video had become. During Halloween, a festival of trick and treat, I tricked myself instead. Though I was dissatisfied with my ugly gesture and stupid image, I was satisfied with the happiness and fun that I brought to others. Undoubtedly, it became the most unforgettable Halloween even if I still had no idea of whose pumpkin was heavier yet.英语试题听力原文：Text 1W:Excuse me,sir.Can I meet your manager at 8:30 a.m.tomorrow?M:Sorry,I am afraid that you will have to wait half an hour for our business hours.
