On a road trip to California’s breathtaking North Coast region, my husband Ken and I, my

legs a bit.
As we walked toward the 16 entrance, a man with an untidy beard and dirty hair
jumped up from a nearby bench and opened the door for us. An old bike 17 with a
sleeping bag and the rest of his 18 rested against the bench, it was obvious that he was
19 . But regardless of his 20 , he greeted us as if we were his best friends, “Today’s soup
and sandwich special’s a great deal.”
Once inside, my teenager whispered to me, “Mom, he 21 .” And Shawn asked
questions about him, not quite understanding the 22 of a homeless person. Ken and I
explained the best we could, telling the kids to look to the person underneath and within 23
the dirt and smell.
With the windiest part of our trip just 24 us, the kids needed to take car-sick pills so
I went back to the car to fetch them. As I 25 the front door, the “doorman” was opening it

couple

After going back inside, I asked our waitress, who was bringing the kids their dessert, to
28 one soup and sandwich special to our bill. Both the kids looked at me 29 ---as we
had already eaten but Ken knew exactly what I was doing.
By this time, we had to get back on the road to stay on schedule. As we rounded the corner
of the very full restaurant, the “doorman” was sitting at a table enjoying his 30 . When
seeing me, he jumped up and 31 his hand for a handshake. It was then that I 32 he
had tears in his eyes---tears of gratitude.
33 we can’t choose many things in life, we can choose when to show gratitude, and I
was doing just that. Hopefully, when someone opens a door for Lahre and Shawn during their

good options for you to choose from.
Acadia National Park---Maine
Lying on Mount Desert Island, a postcard-perfect island where Rockefellers and Astors
summered, Acadia National Park is rich with rocky shorelines and has one of Maine’s most

there are 2,000 natural arches, including the famous Delicate Arch, which you might recognize高三年级英语试卷 第 5页（共 12 页） 高三年级英语试卷 第 6页（共 12 页）

coloration.

Exploration is about how we experience our most meaningful geography. A geography
education without actively learning how to explore places is as frustrating as teaching music
lessons without sound. Besides that, in its widest sense, exploration has the potential to be one
of the most enjoyable and rewarding things we humans will ever do. It can be good for
developing problem-solving, teamwork, social and other vital skills. Therefore, we should be
given the opportunities to learn properly how to do it.
The sad reality is that millions of children are socially and geographically deprived (剥夺
的). Their learning environments lack the diversity of place and experience-based opportunities
that they need to develop well and as a result, they will not reach their full potential.
There is plenty of research showing that many children have little time and space to
explore, play and learn outdoors. Perhaps most shockingly, Dirt is Good conducted a survey
which found that three-quarters of UK children spend less time outside than prisoners, that the
amount of time children spend playing in natural places has decreased and that a fifth of
children do not play outside on an average day.
There are a large number of good and complex reasons why parents do not let their
children play (and so learn) outdoors and not overcoming these barriers comes with its own
risks. Changing the parenting cultures that are overly limiting many children’s freedom will
potentially need efforts of generation after generation.
Partially as a response to this situation, an increasing number of doctors are providing
social prescriptions (处方). Instead of being offered medicine for a mental or physical illness,
young patients are being prescribed time with nature, volunteering, doing sports or some other
activities instead.
Teachers are, in many ways, in a better position to provide time and space for children to
benefit from experiences that help them not only to learn, but also to be well. Teachers can
spare both formal and informal time and space for exploration that helps not just children who
are ill, but also those who are well to remain well or become even better.
41. What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?
A. The way to reach full potential.
B. The methods of doing exploration.
C. The different attitudes to exploration.高三年级英语试卷 第 7页（共 12 页） 高三年级英语试卷 第 8页（共 12 页）
D. The importance of doing exploration.
42. What can we learn from the survey of Dirt is Good?
A. Prisoners in the UK are treated very well.
B. Children are badly in need of time outdoors.
C. Children are becoming less outgoing nowadays.
D. There aren’t enough natural places in many countries.
43. What do we know about the process of changing parents’ attitude?
A. It’s interesting but tiring.
B. It’s complex and risky.
C. It’s challenging but worthwhile.
D. It’s troublesome and demanding.
44. By mentioning social prescriptions, the author wants to say .
A. playing outside can promote people’s health
B. traditional medicines may have side effects
C. experienced doctors are in short supply
D. mental illness needs special treatment
45. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text?
A. ①-②③④⑤-⑥ B. ①-②③-④⑤⑥
C. ①②③-④⑤-⑥ D. ①②-③④-⑤⑥

A job is more than just a job, especially to the older generation. “It’s not the money that
matters, but the sense of self-worth,” 56-year-old Cheng Wonlan said. So, every day Ms. Cheng
carries a bag of parcels, letters and documents of all shapes and sizes and does her rounds in
North Point. She’s a courier (快递人员).
Five years ago, Ms. Cheng was a nurse at a private clinic. She had worked there for
almost 30 years but was made jobless when the doctor migrated ( 移 居 ). It was extremely
difficult for her to find another job as a nurse. “People do not trust my ability when they learn
how old I am,” she said. After two years of searching, the mother of two eventually found
another nursing job. But then after two years, she quit. Why?
“My colleagues were young and they didn’t understand me because of my age. They
often asked me, ‘You are so old, what are you working for?’ I was very unhappy.” She said. So
while the rest of her family left for work, she was left to lonely boredom at home. Then, one of
Ms. Cheng’s neighbours told her about Employee’s Retraining Board (ERB) offering retraining
courses for older people on specific occupations, such as convenience store assistants, junior
clerks and so on.
“I was interested in courier work. I didn’t think my age was a barrier because I was fit
and healthy,” she said. Upon graduation from the ERB, Ms. Cheng was offered a job by the
Speeding Shuttle Courier Service Company Limited. But then Ms. Cheng was caught between
honour and employment. It took Ms. Cheng 24 hours to make up her mind and eventually she
took heart and went off to work as a courier.
Ms. Cheng’s employer is delighted with her. “Ms. Cheng has been working with us for
two months and has shown a good responsible attitude to work.” Anthony Chong, who runs the
company, said. Mr. Chong said he hired older people because they were able and reliable. “Age
is not an important factor but attitude is. Many old people are more capable than youngsters.
They will not run from difficulties but young ones will,” he said. “It is not easy to recruit (招募)
young people since they shy away from hardship and challenges.”
46. Why was it difficult for Ms. Cheng to find another nursing job?
A. Nursing clinics were hard to find.
B. She found it difficult to trust others.
C. People thought she was too old to work.
D. People didn’t think she had enough work experience.
47. Ms. Cheng left her second nursing job because .
A. it was too difficult
B. she was too old to do the job
C. she was bored with changeless jobs
D. the other staff made her feel uncomfortable
48. Employee’s Retraining Board is aimed at .
A. finding jobs for older people
B. teaching new skills to older people
C. training older people to be healthier
D. providing older people with chances to earn money
49. According to Anthony Chong, young people .
A. are able and reliable
B. are less experienced than the older ones
C. are fitter and stronger than the older ones高三年级英语试卷 第 9页（共 12 页） 高三年级英语试卷 第 10页（共 12 页）
D. are more likely to give up than the older ones
50. From the text, we can learn Ms. Cheng is .
A. determined and responsible
B. intelligent and confident
C. capable but stubborn
D. purposeful but lazy

Aristotle thought the face was a window onto a person’s mind. Cicero agreed. Two
thousand years passed, and facial expressions are still commonly thought to be a universally
valid way to judge other people’s feelings, irrespective of age, sex and culture. A raised
eyebrow suggests confusion. A smile indicates happiness.
Or do they? An analysis of hundreds of research papers that examined the relationship
between facial expressions and underlying ( 潜 在 的 ) emotions has uncovered a surprising
conclusion: there is no good scientific evidence to suggest that there are such things as
recognizable facial expressions for basic emotions which are universal across cultures. Just
because a person is not smiling, the researchers found, does not mean that person is unhappy.
This may raise questions about the efforts of information-technology companies to develop
artificial-intelligence algorithms (算法) which can recognize facial expressions and work out a
person’s underlying emotional state. Microsoft, for example, claims its “Emotion API” is able
to detect what people are feeling by examining video footage of them. Another of the study’s
authors, however, expressed scepticism. Aleix Martinez, a computer engineer at Ohio State
University, said that companies attempting to obtain emotions from images of faces have failed
to understand the importance of context.
For a start, facial expression is but one of a number of non-verbal ways, such as body
posture, that people use to communicate with each other. Machine recognition of emotion needs
to take account of these as well. But context can reach further than that. Dr Martinez mentioned
an experiment in which participants were shown a close-up picture of a man’s face, which was
bright red with his mouth open in a scream. Based on this alone, most participants said the man
was extremely angry. Then the whole picture was shown. It was a football player with his arms
outstretched, celebrating a goal. His angry-looking face was, in fact, a show of pure joy.
Given that people cannot guess each other’s emotional states most of the time, Dr Martinez
sees no reason computers would be able to. “There are companies right now claiming to be able
to do that and apply this to places I find really scary and dangerous, for example, in hiring
people,” he says. “Some companies require you to present a video resume, which is analyzed by
a machine-learning system. And depending on your facial expressions, they hire you or not,
which I find really shocking.”
51. We can learn from the second paragraph that .
A. facial expressions are universal across cultures
B. it is hard to recognize some facial expressions
C. emotions and facial expressions may not be related
D. common facial expressions convey similar meanings
52. In the passage, the word “scepticism” (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to “ ”.
A. great doubt B. similar interest
C. fierce anger D. strong support
53. The experiment mentioned by Dr Martinez may prove that .
A. facial expression is an important way to communicate
B. machine recognition of emotion is not reliable at all
C. facial expression is not the only way to detect feelings
D. people may misread facial expressions for lack of context
54. According to the text, which of the following statements is correct?
A. Facial expressions differ from person to person.
B. People with red face must be feeling extremely angry.
C. Artificial-intelligence algorithms can always work out a person’s inner emotional state.
D. Unbelievable to Dr Martinez is that job offers are decided by a machine-learning system.
55. What does this passage mainly tell us?
A. Facial expressions are among the most universal forms of body language.
B. Computers can detect people’s mind by analyzing their facial expressions.
C. Facial expressions may not be the reliable reflection of a person’s emotions.
D. Companies can depend on machine recognition of emotion to hire people.高三年级英语试卷 第 11页（共 12 页） 高三年级英语试卷 第 12页（共 12 页）

“Tennis – I’m saying goodbye.” With these words, Russian tennis superstar Maria
Sharapova, 32, has announced her retirement.
“How do you leave behind the only life you’ve ever known?” she asked herself. Several
reasons played a role in Sharapova leaving the tennis court for good.
Over the last couple of years, she’s dealt with an injury in her right shoulder and
inflammation (炎症) in her forearms that may have prevented her from returning to top form. In
more recent news, the death of her longtime friend, US basketball legend Kobe Bryant, also
played a factor in her decision to retire.
“As I think you’ve seen throughout my career, my perseverance ( 毅 力 ) has been my
greatest tool, my greatest strength,” Sharapova said in an interview. “But I’ve started feeling
like it was becoming a weakness, because the stubbornness (执着) that was keeping me going
was keeping me going for wrong reasons.”
Sharapova rose to stardom (明星身份) at age 17 when she won Wimbledon in 2004. She
won a total of four Grand Slam singles titles: the 2006 US Open, the 2008 Australian Open, and
the 2012 and 2014 French Open. She also earned the Fed Cup title in Russia in 2008 and an
Olympic silver medal in singles in 2012, among many other accomplishments.
For 16 straight years from 2004, Sharapova was the world’s highest-earning female
athlete, according to Forbes. Off the court, she made millions of dollars from companies such as
Evian and Nike, as well as starting her own candy company.
“Tennis showed me the world --- and it showed me what I was made of,” Sharapova
wrote on Facebook on Feb 26, alongside a photo of herself as a young girl with a tennis racquet
(球拍). “It’s how I tested myself and how I measured my growth. And so in whatever I might
choose for my next chapter, my next mountain, I’ll still be pushing. I’ll still be climbing. I’ll
still be growing.”
56. What made Maria Sharapova decide to retire at the age of 32? (no more than 10 words)
57. What does Para. 5 mainly talk about? (no more than 10 words)
58. How did Maria Sharapova become the world’s highest-earning female athlete? (no more

Dear James,
I am so pleased to learn that you are planning to spend some time in China.
I strongly recommend you stay in Beijing, the capital and cultural center of China. First
of all, It is well known that the city enjoys a high reputation for its abundance of ancient
architecture, which represents the traditional local lifestyles. What’s more, there are also plenty
of museums where precious relics of historical interest are waiting for you to explore. Thirdly,
and perhaps most importantly, the exceptional Peking Opera performances there are also what
you can’t miss.
I wish you a very happy and meaningful time in China!
Yours sincerely,
Li Jin
