山东省寿光市圣都中学2021-2022学年高二上学期1月月考英语试卷
A
People often talk about cultural differences between western and eastern countries,but how about the western world itself？Surprisingly,a closer look at it can reveal a good many curious details.
The most obvious characteristic of the majority of Americans is that they smile a lot.It does not matter whether they have a strong reason to smile；they do it,sometimes simply because they have to.A smile is not just a powerful marketing tool but also a way to show that someone is friendly,and that life in general is fine.Europeans,on the contrary（相反），prefer to keep a more neutral（不带感彩的）facial expression.They smile mostly when they are in a good mood,or feel amused；if not,a European's face will remain neutral,or even dull.In Russia,for example,there is a proverb saying that laughing for no reason is a sign of a fool.It does not mean that Europeans are serious,or that they do not have a sense of humor.
The same refers to communication in general.Americans are extremely communicative；small talks and chats are common.Europeans talk mostly when there is something to say,and rarely enter communication just for the purpose of talking to other people.American people prefer to express what they think carefully,considering how it might affect surrounding people.Europeans are more straightforward,even with unfamiliar people.A European friend will almost always voice his opinion on different occasions,and will not hesitate to remind you that you need to lose some weight or take a shower.
It can be said that Americans are people of contrasts.They are open-minded,flexible,and ready to accept everything new enthusiastically；but at the same time,American society manages to bring up unbelievable conservatives（保守者）.Americans are extremely politically correct,which,in most cases,is indeed a secure and beneficial practice,but it can also mess up daily or even private communication,sometimes preventing having close relationships.Europeans,on the contrary,are more straightforward,preferring to tell the truth in direct ways.Each way of communication is different — neither is correct or incorrect.
1. What does the author say about smiling？ ______
A. It is a powerful marketing tool across cultures.
B. It is culture-related within western countries.

C. Accepting everything new.
D. Raising unbelievable conservatives.

If you could travel in time,where would you go？Perhaps you would watch a performance of a Shakespeare's play in Elizabethan England？What about hanging out with Laozi in the Spring and Autumn Period？Or maybe you'd voyage far ahead of the present day to see what the future holds.
The possibility of time travel is indeed appealing.Stories exploring the subject have been around for hundreds of years.Perhaps the best known example is science fiction novel The Time Machine,written by H.G.Wells and published in 1895.It was adapted into at least two feature films of the same name,as well as two television versions,and a large number of comic book adaptations.It is generally credited with the popularization of the concept of time travel using a vehicle that allows an operator to travel purposefully and selectively.The term "time machine"，coined by Wells,is now universally referred to a vehicle transporting people into the far future.
But could time travel actually be possible？Some scientists say yes,in theory.They propose using cracks in time and space called "wormholes"，which could be used as shortcuts to other periods.Einstein's theory of relativity allows time travel in extreme circumstances.And Stephen Hawking says you could travel into the future with a really fast spaceship-going at nearly the speed of light.Though building such a spaceship wouldn't of course be simple .
Even if you could travel into the past,there is something called the "grandfather paradox".It asks what would happen if a time traveler were to go back in time and have his own grandfather killed for some reason,and therefore prevent himself from being born.If the time traveler wasn't born,how would he travel back in time？
And would you really like to visit the future？In H.G.Wells' book,the main character travels into distant time where he arrives at a beach and is attacked by giant crabs.He then voyages 30 million years into the future where the only living thing is a black object with tentacles （触角）.
If that's what's in store,maybe we are better just living in the present day after all.
6. The novel The Time Machine mentioned in Paragraph 2 aims to show ______ .
A. the long history of time travel
B. the contribution of H.G.Wells
C. the story's different features
D. people's interest in time travel
7. Which of the following statements is TRUE？ ______
A. The Time Machine is one of the bestselling science fiction novels.
B. There are films,comic books and dramas adapted from the novel The Time Machine.
C. Works of Literature about time travel first appeared one hundred years ago.
D. It was H.G.Wells who invented the term "time machine".
8. Einstein's and Hawking's theories ______ .
A. suggest the possibility of time travel
B. have been proved wrong by some time travelers
C. have similarities because both are based on experiments
D. have pushed the invention of the first spaceship
9. In Paragraph 4，"grandfather paradox" probably refers to the idea that ______ .
A. the reunion of the traveler and his grandfather brings happiness
B. the grandfather's death makes the traveler's birth impossible
C. the traveler goes back in time to seek for his grandfather
D. the traveler is prevented from meeting his grandfather
10. According to the passage what is probably the author's attitude towards time travel？ ______
A. Unclear. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Unconcerned.
C
A competition making up Versailles literature was launched on Sina Weibo recently.So what is Versailles literature？
Actually,the term has nothing to do with the French palace nor with literature.It came from The Rose of Versailles,a Japanese manga series about noble life at the palace of Versailles in France in the late 18th century,and was coined by a Chinese influencer earlier this year.Known as humblebragging,it is a boast（吹牛）disguised as a complaint. "I have too many houses.How can I decide which one to decorate？" and "I thought I lost weight this morning.So disappointed when I realized it was because I took off the huge diamond ring my boyfriend gave me last night" are some examples of Versailles literature.The intention is to show off --- usually things of materialistic（物质的） values,yet one ought to pretend that's not the point.
As English author Jane Austen famously wrote, "Nothing is more deceitful（欺诈的）than the appearance of humility（谦逊）." The psychology behind humblebragging is to be recognized for one's successes and be liked by others at the same time,according to scholars.In the article Why do people hate humblebragging？， psychologist Dr.Susan noted that humblebragging is a "strategy in pursuit of respect" because it draws attention to one's achievements in a circuitous way.
However,studies on social media users show that humblebragging as a self-promotion strategy doesn't work.In the essay Humblebragging：A distinct and ineffective self-presentation strategy,the researcher Ovul Sezer and Harvard University scholars Francesca and Michael concluded that humblebraggers are perceived more negatively than straight braggers due to the former's insincerity. "The critical factor differentiating the two groups of people is sincerity.People don't like braggers,but they at least see them as more sincere than humblebraggers," said Francesca Gino.
So,how can we annoy humblebraggers back？ "Just pretend you don't get whatever it is they try to show off," a netizen advised. "And respond with sincere sympathy for their complaints."
11. Which of the following statements is typical of "Versailles literature"？ ______
A. It's a headache how to make my son tidy up his room regularly.
B. You know who my father is？My father is Li Gang.
C. I'm fed up with living in the countryside with no shopping malls around.
D. Got five offers to date.I'm at a loss which to choose.
12. What is the psychology behind humblebragging？ ______
A. To win others' sympathy. B. To mask his/her complaint.
C. To earn others' admiration. D. To show his/her sincerity.
13. What does the underlined world "circuitous" in Paragraph 3 probably mean？ ______
A. Indefinite. B. Roundabout.
C. Straightforward. D. Double-edged.
14. What can't be inferred from the passage？ ______
A. To respond with real sympathy will discourage humblebraggers.
B. Braggers are relatively more sincere than humblebraggers.
C. Humblebragging is an artificial appearance of being humble.
D. If you want to be perceived positively,avoid using Versailles literature.
15. What are people advised to do when hearing humblebragging from a friend？ ______
A. Leave it alone. B. Get to the root of it.
C. Follow it up. D. Turn against it.
High on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau lies China's "Water tower" Sanjiangyuan. (1) .The three rivers：the Yellow River,the Yangtze River and Lancang River,provide water for about half the population of China.However,human activities such as overgrazing（过度放牧）are putting this ecosystem at risk.
