As a child growing up in a suburban town in the Northeast of the United States, the arrival of
spring had little meaning for me.
Sure, we had a weeklong spring vocation from school, but the key word there was vacation, not
spring.
For the kids in my neighborhood, the arrival of spring was a non-event. There were two
important seasons: winter, when we could go skating and sledding or build snow forts, and summer,
when we could finally make proper use of the beach about 100 meter east of my family home.
Spring and autumn were just technical details, weeks and weeks of waiting for the good times'
return.
Admittedly, spring later developed its own attractions for me—"In the spring a young man's
fancy turns to thoughts of love", as the poet Alfred Lord Tennyson noted—however, it was not
spring itself, but the other stuff that got my attention.
In short, I never thought much at all about spring…. and then I arrived in China. I had been in
Beijing for about three months when my first Spring Festival rolled around, and it could hardly be
ignored. Aside from the random bursts of fireworks at any time day or night, what stood out most
for me was that the capital seemed to be empty.
It was as though the crowds and streams of cars and trucks commonly seen in the capital had all
gone into hiding. My puzzlement cleared up when I returned to work. My colleagues explained that
Chinese traditionally travel, if necessary, to visit their families during Spring Festival, and that
many Beijingers were not natives of the capital.
I also got my first knowledge of something about Spring Festival that never ceases to amaze
me. Regardless of when the holiday is set to begin, there is an almost immediate and sudden change
for the better in the weather. Spring really does arrive.
I can't begin to figure out how the ancient Chinese could create a system for the millennia that
would almost always accurately predict when the season would shift year after year after year. But
高三英语 第2页/共8页they did.

B. Spring to the author is a season when he could do nothing.
C. Empty streets and random bursts of fireworks upset the author.

6. What' the author's attitude towards China's traditional culture?

7. Which of the following can be the best title?
A. Springtime—a season of waiting B. Springtime—a season of senses awakening
C. Spring Festival—a time of celebrating D. Spring Festival—a time of loneliness

Whether it is “arguing until blue in the face” or “feeling green with envy”, the English language
is full of idioms linking color to emotion. Now for the first time, scientists have shown that people
actually do change colors depending on their feelings. Although it is a small change to skin tone
around the nose, eyebrows, cheeks or chin. The effects are picked up subconsciously (潜意识地) by
observers, making it very hard to hide emotions.
The scientists believe the changes of color are caused by blood flow channeled from the central
nervous system depending on our state of mind. “We identified patterns of facial coloring that are
unique to every emotion we studied,” said Doctor Alex Martinez, a cognitive scientist and professor
at Ohio State University. “We believe these color patterns are due to small changes in blood flow or
blood composition brought about by the central nervous system. We use them to correctly identify
how other people are feeling whether we do it consciously (有意识地) or not.”
For the study, the researchers first took hundreds of pictures of facial expressions and separated
the images into different color channels that correspond to how human eyes see color－either in a
red/green channel or blue/yellow. They then ran the images through computer analysis and found that
emotions, such as “happy”, “sad”, “anger” or “dislike”, all formed unique color patterns. “Dislike”,
for example, creates a blue-yellow cast around the lips, but with a red-green cast around the nose and
forehead. Happiness is seen in red at the cheeks and a little blue around the chin, but the same face
with a slightly redder forehead and slightly less blue chin registers as “surprised.”
To test whether colors alone could convey emotions—without smiles, frowns（皱眉）to go along
with them－the researchers then put together the different emotional color patterns on pictures of
faces with neutral expressions. They found that volunteers were able to spot an emotion up to 75
percent of the time. The effect remained regardless of gender, races or overall skin tone.
8. The phrase “arguing until blue in the face” is used in Paragraph 1 to _________.
高三英语 第3页/共8页A. explain a phenomenon B. introduce the topic
C. support argument D. make comparisons
9. What directly causes patterns of facial coloring according to Doctor Alex Martinez?
A. Delicate changes in blood. B. Every separate emotion.
C. Central nervous system D. Conscious self-identification.
10. What can be learned from the text?
A. Colors alone could not convey emotions.
B. Each emotion produces a unique color pattern.
C. Observers have difficulty identifying people’s emotions.
D. The emotion “dislike” just shows a blue-yellow cast around the lips.
11. What is the text?
A. A news report. B. A book review.
C. An educational speech. D. A research article.
D
Search “toxic parents”, and you’ll find more than 38, 000 posts, largely urging young adults to
cut ties with their families. The idea is to safeguard one’s mental health from abusive parents.
However, as a psychoanalyst (精神分析学家), I’ve seen that trend in recent years become a way to
manage conflicts in the family, and I have seen the severe impacts estrangement (疏远) has on both
sides of the divide. This is a self-help trend that creates much harm.
“Canceling” your parent can be seen as an extension of a cultural trend aimed at correcting
imbalances in power and systemic inequality. Today’s social justice values respond to this reality,
calling on us to criticize oppressive and harmful figures and to gain power for those who have been
powerless. But when adult children use the most effective tool they have – themselves – to gain a
sense of security and ban their parents from their lives, the roles are simply switched, and the pain
only deepens.
Often, what I see in my practice are cases of family conflict mismanaged, power dynamics turned
upside down rather than negotiated. I see the terrible effect of that trend: situations with no winners,
only isolated humans who long to be known and feel safe in the presence of the other.
The catch is that after estrangement, adult children are not suddenly less dependent. In fact, they
feel abandoned and betrayed, because in the unconscious, it doesn’t matter who is doing the leaving;
the feeling that remains is “being left”. They carry the ghosts of their childhood, tackling the
emotional reality that those who raised us can never truly be left behind, no matter how hard we try.
What I have found is that most of these families need repair, not permanent break-up. How can
one learn how to negotiate needs, to create boundaries and to trust? How can we love others, and
ourselves, if not through accepting the limitations that come with being human? Good relationships
are the result not of a perfect level of harmony but rather of successful adjustments.
高三英语 第4页/共8页To pursue dialogue instead of estrangement will be hard and painful work. It can’t be a single
project of “self-help”, because at the end of the day, real intimacy (亲密关系) is achieved by working
through the injuries of the past together. In most cases of family conflict, repair is possible and
preferable to estrangement – and it’s worth the work.
12. Why do young people cut ties with the family?
A. To gain an independent life. B. To restore harmony in the family.
C. To protect their psychological well-being. D. To follow a tendency towards social justice.
13. What does the underlined word “catch” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Response. B. Problem. C. Operation. D. Emphasis.
14. To manage family conflict, the author agrees that young adults should________.
A. break down boundaries B. gain power within the family
C. live up to their parents’ expectations D. accept imperfection of family members
15. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To advocate a self-help trend. B. To justify a common social value.
C. To argue against a current practice. D. To discuss a means of communication.

It’s been a hard year but, while we can’t change what’s happening in the world, we can focus on
creating a positive atmosphere. No more negative energy.

Hard times are rubbish, but they make you what you are. Recognize that and know that if you can
come through them, you will be more confident. It’s a lucky person indeed who manages to avoid
upset as they go through life; what’s important is how you deal with it.
Count your blessings
Feeling sorry for yourself? It may sound normal, but it’s important to remind yourself of what’s good
about your life. Try writing a list of the things you’re thankful for, or spend a few minutes every evening
putting down three nice things that have happened to you that day. 17 . Patted a dog in the park? Write
it down. Laughed at a silly meme (表情包) on social media? Put that on the list too.
Protect yourself from energy vampires
We all know those who suck the joy out of life and leave you feeling emotionally
exhausted. They moan, blame others or just generally bring you down. 18 . Gently explain the
effect that they have may bring them round, or simply make sure you’re always positive yourself in
order to reduce the bad effect of their negativity. 19 , or eventually cut ties with them entirely.
Create joy in your life

carpentry in his teens, after 47 he taught himself the arts of painting, poetry, calligraphy and seal

Dear Editor,
I am high school student. Here I would like to express my sincerely gratitude through your
newspaper to all the medical workers for your devotion and sacrifice in this battle against the Covid-
19 virus. It is they who, despite of the lack of equipment and the potential of infection, desperately
rescue those infecting and striving for life. It is also they who have shed new light on the virus to
build up our confidence to defeat it. It is they who deserves all the admiration and love! I can ever
express our thankfulness too much for their selfless contributions. As the virus is very hard to clear,
I’m convinced that China will win the battle and make a quick recover. Finally I hoped all of them
will stay healthy and happy.
Yours sincerely,
