B When Jenny Streete began caring for older people more than 50 years ago, prejudice was part of her everyday working life. Streete, who grew up in Jamaica and came to England in 1967, had a way of dealing with it: “Just put a smile on your face,” she says. “If you let bad words into your brain, it will only cause you more harm.” The 81-year-old remembers one instance of abuse. Streete says: “The sister who was managing the ward (病房) tried to calm a woman down. But I told the sister to let her say what she has to say. I don’t mind.” The next night, Streete noticed the woman’s blanket had fallen off. She replaced it, telling the patient in a low voice exactly what she was doing and why. The same thing happened the next night, and the next. “But then, the night that I was off duty, that same woman asked the sister: ‘Where is that black lady? I don’t want anyone else to look after me while she is on duty. She was so kind.’” Brought up by her grandparents, Streete found her vocation after a mystery illness that nearly killed her, and left her with permanently damaged vision. She got better, she says, because of “loving care and tenderness”. When she came to England, she was determined to give that care to others. And Streete hopes to carry on caring for older people as long as possible — although, she says, her children are urging her to retire. She currently works two nights a week in an end-of-life ward which provides specialist nursing. Many of the people she looks after are now a similar age to her. Her preference for night shifts hasn’t changed, either. She frequently stays on after her shift is finished, to spend time with residents. She urges those considering a career in care to think hard about why they’re choosing it. “Sometimes, people are not happy because they don’t want to do the job — they have to do it, because there is no other way. Wanting to do it is very different from having to do it.” But the key quality a care worker needs, she says, is patience, “Some people like to do everything quick-quick-quick, but you have to take your time with residents. I just try to treat everybody the way I would like to be treated.” 4. What do we know about Jenny Streete? A. She never accepts others’ words. B. She minded so much when abused. C. She fell ill when she left Jamaica. D. She has her own opinions about nursing. 5. What motivated Streete to choose her lifelong occupation? A. Her love for England. B. The tender care she got. C. Older people’s prejudice. D. Her grandparents’ encouragement. 6. What qualities does Streete possess as a nurse? A. Serious and wise. B. Positive but stubborn. C. Responsible and patient. D. Honest but indifferent. 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. Jenny Streete’s care for others in her whole life. B. Jenny Streete’s advice on how to find a good job. C. Jenny Streete’s experiences of fighting disease. D. Jenny streete’s determination to remove prejudice. C The Hangzhou Xixi National Wetland Park in East China’s Zhejiang Province, founded in 2005, is the country’s first national wetland park. Situated in the western part of Hangzhou, Xixi is only 5 kilometers away from the West Lake, a renowned UNESCO World Heritage site in the city. Water is the soul of Xixi. With an area of 11.5 square kilometers, the park is mostly covered by streams, ponds, lakes and swamps, with six long rivers forming a tangled network of waterways. Nearly 70 percent of the park is water and the length of waterways inside the park surpasses 100 kilometers. Additionally, about 85 percent of the land in Xixi is covered by plants such as reeds(芦苇), willows and persimmon (柿子) trees and a variety of wildlife living among them, making Xixi a great platform for animal and bird watching, scientific research and education. Because of its abundant water resources and species, Xixi Wetland is an important part of Hangzhou’s ecosystem and helps purify water, relieve flooding, regulate the climate and maintain biodiversity. Nestled in an urban area of the city, it is called “the natural purifier of Hangzhou”. As well as providing a place for people to enjoy the region’s natural charm, Xixi Wetland is also a cultural treasure which has been described and extolled by scholars throughout history. Xixi was a land of beauty and a place of seclusion(隐居) in the eyes of ancient people. Inspired by the elegance of Xixi, many literati(文人)—including Su Dongpo, Tang Bohu, Dong Qichang and Yu Dafu —created numerous literary works about the place. Some of them are showcased on the inscribed boards and tablets dotted throughout the wetland park. The Xixi Wetland was not quite so well-known to people until the famous Chinese film director Feng Xiaogang used it as a backdrop for part of his 2008 film If You Are the One, adding the wetland to the list of must-visit tourist attractions in Hangzhou. Today, the pristine(未开发的) scenery, the rustic (淳朴的) charm of a country lifestyle and the ancient traditions of Xixi attract tourists from around the world. 8. How long is the waterway of Xixi National Wetland Park? A. Over 5 kilometers. B. Over 11.5 kilometers. C. Over 70 kilometers. D. Over 100 kilometers. 9. Why is Xixi National Wetland Park called “the natural purifier of Hangzhou”? A. Because it is a platform for animal and bird watching. B. Because it is a platform for scientific research and education. C. Because it is nestled in an urban area of the city. D. Because its ecosystem helps purify water. 10. The underlined word “extolled” in Paragraph 5 most probably means “________”. A. criticized B. praised C. represented D. painted 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Return to Paradise B. Tourist Attractions in Hangzhou C. Hangzhou, the Natural Purifier D. A Place of Seclusion D Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate strength calculations for the predicted earthquakes. The research team believes their method succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth. This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. “You don’t see earth-quakes coming,” explains Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (TexNet). “It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help minimize economic and human losses and has the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking networks. The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earth-quake stations and over six years worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This strategy could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 12. How does the AI forecast earthquakes? A. By identifying data from the satellites. B. By analyzing background sounds in the Earth. C. By modeling data based on earthquake recordings. D. By monitoring changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. 13. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph 3? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C The significance of developing the AI prediction. D. The limitation of AI algorithms in earthquake prediction. 14. What will the follow-up research focus on? A. Conducting tests in different locations. B. Applying the AI approach to other fields. C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy. 15. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. Stable but outdated. B. Effective but costly. C. Potential and economical. D. Pioneering and promising. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Just Go for a University For any student, going to a university is one of the most important stages of their lives.

It just felt good to be in the play, even if I had only four or five lines. I worked hard at perfecting those lines. I repeated them over and over again. I put in the emphases and intonations (语调) that my drama teacher had suggested and, because I was on stage much longer than for just four or five lines, I had many actions to rehearse (排练) and perform. “Do them in front of a mirror,” my drama teacher had advised me. “Watch how you look; practice and rehearse as often as you can.” I did just that. I worked and worked at it. It was fun and exciting rehearsing. Then finally the big night came. Suddenly, things felt different. The theater was full of people. As I dressed, I could hear the chatting and noises of the audience. I looked around at the other more experienced actors and saw that their previous confidence seemed to have disappeared. Had they got their makeup right? Was the costume done up correctly? What if they forgot their lines? The more people talked about their anxiety, the more nervous everyone became. The worries spread from person to another—like a baton (接力棒) being passed in a relay race—until the whole of the backstage area seemed to be full of tension and worry. I was on stage early, at first performing my non-spoken role in the background with several other guys around the same age. When, suddenly, I heard my cue (出场提示), the lights were bright in my eyes, I couldn’t see the audience but knew there were hundreds of people out there all watching me. The words that had flowed so easily when I stood in front of a mirror didn’t want to come, and when they did I found myself hurrying into them. I tried to slow down my thoughts and my words. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I bowed to the audience excitedly and went back to my drama teacher. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 CCAAC 6-10 ABCAC 11-15 BABCC 16-20 BACBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 淄博中学2023-2024学年第二学期高二期中考试 英语试题 本试卷分第I卷(选择题)和第II卷(非选择)两部分，共150分。考试时间120分钟。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

The same thing happened the next night, and the next. “But then, the night that I was off duty, that same woman asked the sister: ‘Where is that black lady? I don’t want anyone else to look after me while she is on duty. She was so kind.’” Brought up by her grandparents, Streete found her vocation after a mystery illness that nearly killed her, and left her with permanently damaged vision. She got better, she says, because of “loving care and tenderness”. When she came to England, she was determined to give that care to others. And Streete hopes to carry on caring for older people as long as possible — although, she says, her children are urging her to retire. She currently works two nights a week in an end-of-life ward which provides specialist nursing. Many of the people she looks after are now a similar age to her. Her preference for night shifts hasn’t changed, either. She frequently stays on after her shift is finished, to spend time with residents. She urges those considering a career in care to think hard about why they’re choosing it. “Sometimes, people are not happy because they don’t want to do the job — they have to do it, because there is no other way. Wanting to do it is very different from having to do it.” But the key quality a care worker needs, she says, is patience, “Some people like to do everything quick-quick-quick, but you have to take your time with residents. I just try to treat everybody the way I would like to be treated.” 4. What do we know about Jenny Streete? A. She never accepts others’ words. B. She minded so much when abused. C. She fell ill when she left Jamaica. D. She has her own opinions about nursing. 5. What motivated Streete to choose her lifelong occupation? A. Her love for England. B. The tender care she got. C. Older people’s prejudice. D. Her grandparents’ encouragement. 6 What qualities does Streete possess as a nurse? A. Serious and wise. B. Positive but stubborn. C. Responsible and patient. D. Honest but indifferent. 7. What is the passage mainly about? A. Jenny Streete’s care for others in her whole life. B. Jenny Streete’s advice on how to find a good job. C. Jenny Streete’s experiences of fighting disease. D. Jenny streete’s determination to remove prejudice. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7.

Situated in the western part of Hangzhou, Xixi is only 5 kilometers away from the West Lake, a renowned UNESCO World Heritage site in the city. Water is the soul of Xixi. With an area of 11.5 square kilometers, the park is mostly covered by streams, ponds, lakes and swamps, with six long rivers forming a tangled network of waterways. Nearly 70 percent of the park is water and the length of waterways inside the park surpasses 100 kilometers. Additionally, about 85 percent of the land in Xixi is covered by plants such as reeds(芦苇), willows and persimmon (柿子) trees and a variety of wildlife living among them, making Xixi a great platform for animal and bird watching, scientific research and education. Because of its abundant water resources and species, Xixi Wetland is an important part of Hangzhou’s ecosystem and helps purify water, relieve flooding, regulate the climate and maintain biodiversity. Nestled in an urban area of the city, it is called “the natural purifier of Hangzhou”. As well as providing a place for people to enjoy the region’s natural charm, Xixi Wetland is also a cultural treasure which has been described and extolled by scholars throughout history. Xixi was a land of beauty and a place of seclusion(隐居) in the eyes of ancient people. Inspired by the elegance of Xixi, many literati(文人)—including Su Dongpo, Tang Bohu, Dong Qichang and Yu Dafu —created numerous literary works about the place. Some of them are showcased on the inscribed boards and tablets dotted throughout the wetland park. The Xixi Wetland was not quite so well-known to people until the famous Chinese film director Feng Xiaogang used it as a backdrop for part of his 2008 film If You Are the One, adding the wetland to the list of must-visit tourist attractions in Hangzhou. Today, the pristine(未开发的) scenery, the rustic (淳朴的) charm of a country lifestyle and the ancient traditions of Xixi attract tourists from around the world. 8. How long is the waterway of Xixi National Wetland Park? A. Over 5 kilometers. B. Over 11.5 kilometers. C. Over 70 kilometers. D. Over 100 kilometers. 9. Why is Xixi National Wetland Park called “the natural purifier of Hangzhou”? A. Because it is a platform for animal and bird watching. B. Because it is a platform for scientific research and education. C. Because it is nestled in an urban area of the city. D. Because its ecosystem helps purify water. 10. The underlined word “extolled” in Paragraph 5 most probably means “________”. A. criticized B. praised C. represented D. painted 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Return to Paradise B. Tourist Attractions in Hangzhou C. Hangzhou, the Natural Purifier D. A Place of Seclusion 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11.

(今天，西溪质朴的风景、乡村生活方式的魅力和古老的传统吸引着来自世界各地的游客。)”再结合全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了西溪国家湿地公园，而文章第五段“As well as providing a place for people to enjoy the region’s natural charm, Xixi Wetland is also a cultural treasure which has been described and extolled by scholars throughout history. (西溪湿地不仅是人们享受自然魅力的天堂，也是历史上学者们描绘和颂扬的文化宝库。)”可知，这里被誉为人间天堂。由此可知，选项A“Return to Paradise(重返天堂)”为最佳标题。故选A。 D Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate strength calculations for the predicted earthquakes. The research team believes their method succeeded because they stuck with a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth. This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. “You don’t see earth-quakes coming,” explains Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (TexNet). “It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help minimize economic and human losses and has the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking networks. The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earth-quake stations and over six years worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This strategy could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 12. How does the AI forecast earthquakes? A. By identifying data from the satellites. B. By analyzing background sounds in the Earth. C. By modeling data based on earthquake recordings. D. By monitoring changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. 13. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph 3? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C. The significance of developing the AI prediction. D. The limitation of AI algorithms in earthquake prediction. 14. What will the follow-up research focus on? A. Conducting tests in different locations. B. Applying the AI approach to other fields. C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy. 15. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. Stable but outdated. B. Effective but costly. C. Potential and economical. D. Pioneering and promising. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了德克萨斯州大学奥斯汀分校的研究人员在地震预测方面取得的进展，特别是他们开发的AI算法在地震预测方面的应用及效果。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段尤其是最后一句“Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth.(经过训练后，人工智能通过在地球的背景隆隆声中倾听即将到来的地震迹象来提供预测)”可知，AI通过分析地震时的背景声音预测地震。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段尤其是后两句Alexandros Sawvaidis所说的话“It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help minimize economic and human losses and has the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.(这只是几毫秒的问题，你唯一能控制的就是你准备得有多充分。即使准确率达到70%，这也是一个巨大的成果，可以帮助最大限度地减少经济和人员损失，并有可能显著改善全球的地震准备工作)”可推知，Alexandros Savvaidis认为，即便是70%的准确性也极其重要，因为它可以减少经济损失，人员伤亡，还有可能提高全世界对地震发生的准备（和预防）。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earth-quake stations and over six years worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes.(下一步是在德州测试人工智能，因为德州的德州地震信息局有300个地震观测站，有超过6年的连续记录，是进行这些研究的理想地点)”可知，研究人员下一步准备在德克萨斯州进一步进行AI地震预测的实验。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合第一段“Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate strength calculations for the predicted earthquakes.(人工智能(AI)在地震预测方面显示出希望，挑战了人们长期以来认为地震预测不可能实现的信念。德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的研究人员在中国进行的一项试验中，开发出了一种人工智能算法，可以提前一周准确预测70%的地震，并为预测的地震提供了准确的强度计算)”可知，地震预测技术有发展前景，根据第三段中“This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. ‘You don’t see earth-quakes coming,’ explains Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (TexNet). ‘It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help minimize economic and human losses and has the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.’(这项工作显然是人工智能驱动的地震预测研究的一个里程碑。‘你看不到地震的到来，’领导德克萨斯地震网项目(TexNet)的高级研究科学家Alexandros Savvaidis解释说。‘这只是几毫秒的问题，你唯一能控制的就是你准备得如何。即使准确率达到70%，这也是一个巨大的成果，可以帮助最大限度地减少经济和人员损失，并有可能显著改善全球的地震准备工作。’)”可知，研究人员相信，如果在拥有可靠地震跟踪网络的地区使用，人工智能算法可以产生更准确的预测。由此推知，AI预测地震的工作既具有前沿性，其将来也是大有希望的。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Just Go for a University For any student, going to a university is one of the most important stages of their lives.

It just felt good to be in the play, even if I had only four or five lines. I worked hard at perfecting those lines. I repeated them over and over again. I put in the emphases and intonations (语调) that my drama teacher had suggested and, because I was on stage much longer than for just four or five lines, I had many actions to rehearse (排练) and perform. “Do them in front of a mirror,” my drama teacher had advised me. “Watch how you look; practice and rehearse as often as you can.” I did just that. I worked and worked at it. It was fun and exciting rehearsing. Then finally the big night came. Suddenly, things felt different. The theater was full of people. As I dressed, I could hear the chatting and noises of the audience. I looked around at the other more experienced actors and saw that their previous confidence seemed to have disappeared. Had they got their makeup right? Was the costume done up correctly? What if they forgot their lines? The more people talked about their anxiety, the more nervous everyone became. The worries spread from person to another—like a baton (接力棒) being passed in a relay race—until the whole of the backstage area seemed to be full of tension and worry. I was on stage early, at first performing my non-spoken role in the background with several other guys around the same age. When, suddenly, I heard my cue (出场提示), the lights were bright in my eyes, I couldn’t see the audience but knew there were hundreds of people out there all watching me. The words that had flowed so easily when I stood in front of a mirror didn’t want to come, and when they did I found myself hurrying into them. I tried to slow down my thoughts and my words. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I bowed to the audience excitedly and went back to my drama teacher. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence. My heart raced as I scrambled to remember it. Despite my best efforts, the words eluded me, leaving me flustered on stage. However, with the support of my fellow actors, I managed to carry on. As the scene progressed, I gradually regained my composure, focusing on my lines and movements. When the moment came to take my bow, a wave of relief washed over me. I bowed to the audience excitedly, grateful for their applause. I bowed to the audience excitedly and went back to my drama teacher. With a mixture of exhilaration and nervous energy, I recounted the experience to her. She offered words of encouragement and praised my resilience under pressure. Reflecting on the night’s events, I realized that even amidst the chaos and uncertainty, I had persevered and delivered a memorable performance. With newfound confidence, I eagerly awaited the next opportunity to step into the spotlight. 【解析】 【导语】本文以故事发展的顺序为线索展开，讲述了主人公在学校话剧试演中获得角色后的经历。他在排练过程中努力练习台词和动作，通过在镜子前排练来提高表演水平。然而，在正式演出的大晚上面临了前所未有的压力和焦虑，尽管台词曾经轻松流畅，但现在却遭遇了困难的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“但我突然意识到我漏掉了一个句子。”可知，第一段可描写“我努力回忆那句话并感到惊慌失措，在其他演员的支持下，我逐渐恢复镇静并完成表演，观众为我鼓掌声，我表示感谢”的相关细节。 ②由第二段首句内容“我兴奋地向观众鞠了一躬，然后回到我的戏剧老师那里。”可知，第二段可描写“ 演出结束后，我向老师汇报那段紧张的经历。她称赞我在压力下的韧性，我意识到坚持能够带来信心并急切地盼望下一次表演”的相关细节。 2.续写线索：努力回忆台词——惊慌失措——坚持下去——恢复镇静——观众鼓掌——回到老师那里——老师鼓励和称赞我——感悟——期盼下一次表演 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①继续：carry on/go ahead ②集中注意力于：focuse on /concentrate on 情绪类 ①放松：relief/relaxation ②感激的：grateful/appreciative ③渴望地：eagerly/desperately 【点睛】[高分句型1] As the scene progressed, I gradually regained my composure, focusing on my lines and movements.(使用了as引导的时间状语从句和现在分词短语focusing on作状语) [高分句型2] I bowed to the audience excitedly, grateful for their applause. (使用了形容词短语grateful for作状语) 听力答案：1-5 CCAAC 6-10 ABCAC 11-15 BABCC 16-20 BACBC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
