Hard. Dirty. Bleeding.” reflects Sia. “They were just walking around just as it was an everyday practice.” It was then that Sia realized their lives were so different from hers. Sia went back home and saw shoes piled up high — many of which hadn’t been worn for months. Then she rushed to distribute them to the children she saw at the building site. Later that year, with the help of her parents and community volunteers, Sia founded Sole Warriors, a charity committed to providing shoes to those in need, whose motto is: “Donate a sole(鞋), save a soul.” The idea quickly grew. After she spread the word with posters, enquiries from people who wanted to help came flooding in. Now in its fifth year, the organization collects used shoes, refurbishes(翻新) it and donates the finished products to people in need. That need is endless. In the world, an estimated 300 million people can’t afford shoes. Of the nearly 24 billion shoes made every year, shockingly more than 90 percent end up in dustbins. In its first distribution, Sole Warriors collected and gave out 700 pairs of shoes. Today that number rises to 28,000 across four countries. But the organization’s growth met with many challenges. When it came to looking for a company that would do the refurbishments free of charge, Sia faced one barrier after another before finding a partner. “Being a 13-year-old, I did face a lot of prejudice because people were less willing to hear what I say.” says Sia. In recognition of her great influence, Sia was given the Diana Award in 2021. It’s one of the most remarkable honors a young person can receive for social action. But her work isn’t done. “Our goal has always been to touch a million feet,” she says. 1. Why does the author mention Sia’s visit to a construction site? A. To display Sia’s generosity. B. To arouse readers’ sympathy. C To show the life of construction workers. D. To explain why Sia started Sole Warriors. 2. How does Sole Warriors offer help? A. By urging governments to make joint efforts. B. By donating refurbished shoes to those in need. C. By collecting second-hand shoes from dustbins. D. By searching for companies to make new shoes for free. 3. What difficulty did Sia have in developing the organization? A. Their donation couldn’t meet people’s demand. B. The process of refurbishment was too complicated. C. Her request was rejected by quite a few companies. D. Few people were willing to give away their old shoes. 4. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Being a socialist is Sia’s dream. B. The Diana Award is awarded annually. C. Sia felt totally satisfied with her social action. D. Sia would not stop her work with Sole Warriors. B When it comes to popular symbols of marriage, one cannot look past the wedding ring. The wedding ring serves as a perfect symbol of everlasting love — a ring is a circle and thus has no beginning or end, representing the never-ending union of marriage. Evidence suggests that wedding rings were used in ancient Egypt around 6,000 years ago. However, unlike the metals and jewels used today, they were crafted from materials such as leather or bone. In the centuries that followed, the wedding ring tradition was picked up in the West, where it spread first in ancient Rome and Greece, subsequently throughout Europe during the Middle Ages, and eventually to Eastern culture. Throughout history, the round shape of the ring has continued, and so has the tradition of wearing it on the fourth finger of the left hand. The latter practice originated from an ancient belief that a vein (静脉) ran directly from this finger to the heart. Although this belief has since been considered wrong, the custom has continued. Regarding customs surrounding wedding rings, there was a time when only the bride wore a wedding ring. It wasn’t until the early 20th century that the practice of bridegrooms wearing rings gained popularity. This change was influenced by soldiers going off to war, who wore rings as reminders of their loved ones waiting for them at home. Today, the exchange of wedding rings remains an essential part of the wedding ceremony, symbolizing the commitment and love shared between two individuals who will begin a life together. Wedding rings hold a symbolic significance that ties the two members of a married couple. In an ever-changing world, the wedding ring stands as an ancient tradition that is likely to continue for generations to come, reflecting the timeless and everlasting love celebrated through marriage. 5. What can we know about wedding rings in the text? A. They have their roots in Europe. B. They date back to the Middle Ages. C. They symbolize the owners’ social status. D. The round shape has remained unchanged. 6. Why did people in ancient times wear a wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand? A. Because it brought good luck to soldiers going off to war. B. Because they wished to keep their lover in their heart. C. Because a vein runs directly from this finger to the heart. D. Because it represented the never-ending union of marriage. 7. What can be predicted about the future of the wedding ring tradition? A. It will undergo great changes. B. It will gradually fall out of date. C. It will probably last for quite a long time. D. It will only be popular in certain cultures. 8. What is the text mainly about? A. The design of wedding rings. B. The significance of wedding rings. C. The long history of wedding rings. D. The materials used for wedding rings. C At the Port of Los Angeles, a long gray ship is doing its part to fight against climate change. On the ship, which belongs to Captura, a Los Angeles-based company, is a system of pipes, pumps, and containers that pumps seawater and removes CO₂, which can be used to make plastics and fuels or buried. Then the treated seawater is returned to the ocean, where it absorbs more CO₂ from the atmosphere, in an effort to battle the rise of the greenhouse gas. Capturing (捕获) CO₂ from the ocean should be easier and cheaper than a seemingly more direct approach: capturing it directly from the air. Direct air capture, which relies on fans to sweep air past chemicals that can absorb CO₂, currently costs between $600 to $1000 per ton of CO₂ removed, largely because atmospheric CO₂ only makes up less than 0.05% of the air by volume. Earth’s oceans, in contrast, hold the gas at a concentration nearly 150 times higher, and absorb roughly 30% of all emitted (排放) CO₂ each year. Besides, ocean capture is developing faster than other ocean CO₂ removal approaches. That’s partly because the systems can usually be attached to desalination (脱盐) plants, wastewater treatment equipment, and other large water-processing systems. However, one challenge for the approach is determining exactly how much CO₂ the treated water absorbs and at what rate. Still, the absorption rates will vary based on where the water is released and how easily it mixes with surrounding water. That makes site selection a really important part of this process. Even if the technology takes off, it will have to be promoted widely to make a difference in offsetting global emissions. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, by 2050 engineered carbon removal efforts will need to remove some 5 billion tons of CO₂ every year to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5°C. At present, the ocean capture companies are removing only thousands of tons. 9. What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about? A. The re use of removed CO₂. B. The basic information about Captura. C. The working process of ocean capture. D. An unusual phenomenon in Los Angeles. 10. Why does ocean capture cost less than direct air capture? A. Because the system is used more widely. B. Because the ocean absorbs CO₂ more directly. C. Because capturing CO₂ from the ocean is faster. D. Because the concentration of CO₂ in seawater is higher. 11. What does the underlined word “offsetting” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Sending out. B. Canceling out. C. Figuring out. D. Giving out. 12. What does the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change want to convey? A. The ocean capture companies still have a long way to go. B. The ocean capture companies have removed enough CO₂. C. More CO₂ will be emitted into the atmosphere in the future. D. Limiting the global temperature increase to 1.5℃is the final goal. 第二节 (共5 小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The importance of learning outside goes beyond fresh air and fun.

Amy often pretended the plants she took care of were beautiful chrysants (菊花), like Mrs. Taylor’s prize flowers. “Foolish girl!” her mother scolded. “No one in our poor village wastes money so foolishly on flowers. Take care of the vegetables. That’s our living.” Amy knew her mother was right. The only person in the village who made money by selling flowers was Mrs. Taylor. Every year she won first prize at the Chrysant Festival. Other competitors whispered that Taylor used magic to grow her chrysants. Amy envied Mrs. Taylor. But chrysants were expensive to start, and Amy could only dream about growing them. One day, Amy visited Mrs. Taylor. Mrs. Taylor was inspecting her chrysants. “Spying on me again!” Taylor frowned. “But, Mrs. Taylor, I only come to see your flowers.” Amy took a deep breath.“I wish I could grow beautiful chrysants and win a prize at the festival like you.” “You?” Mrs. Taylor laughed. “Child, do you know what’s required to grow such flowers? The secret of growing chrysants has been passed down from my grandfather. Stick to vegetables. Leave flowers to those who know the secret.” Taylor pulled up a weak plant and threw it away. Suddenly Amy had an idea. She asked for Taylor’s permission to have that plant, dashed back home, and grew it behind the cottage. She leaned close to the hanging leaves and whispered, “Grow, little flower. You don’t have to win a prize. Just grow.” She took care of her plant every morning and evening. “You are my beautiful plant,” Amy would sing softly, as she weeded and watered it. “Someday, you will bloom (开花) prettier than any flower at the festival.” Each time Amy visited her little plant, it looked greener and taller. Time seemed to fly by as the festival neared. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 On the morning of the festival, when Amy visited her plant again, she screamed with delight. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Amy’s chrysant won first prize as Mrs Taylor had predicted. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023~2024学年度第二学期期末考试 高二英语试题 (考试时间: 120分钟; 总分: 150分) 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考试号等填写在答题卡指定位置上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题纸上。 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分,满分7.5分) 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.

Bleeding.” reflects Sia. “They were just walking around just as it was an everyday practice.” It was then that Sia realized their lives were so different from hers.(当Sia13岁时，她注意到建筑工地上工人们光着脚的孩子。“他们的脚光着。很硬。很脏。在流血。”Sia想到。“他们只是四处走动，就像日常活动一样。”就在那时，Sia意识到他们的生活与她截然不同。)”和第二段“Sia went back home and saw shoes piled up high — many of which hadn’t been worn for months. Then she rushed to distribute them to the children she saw at the building site. Later that year, with the help of her parents and community volunteers, Sia founded Sole Warriors, a charity committed to providing shoes to those in need, whose motto is: “Donate a sole(鞋), save a soul.”(Sia回到家，看到堆得很高的鞋子，其中许多已经好几个月没穿了。然后她赶紧把它们分发给她在建筑工地看到的孩子们。同年晚些时候，在父母和社区志愿者的帮助下，Sia创立了Sole Warriors，这是一家致力于为有需要的人提供鞋子的慈善机构，其座右铭是：“捐赠一只鞋，拯救一个灵魂。”)”可知，Sia在看到那些光着脚的孩子后，意识到他们和她的生活完全不一样，于是回家把自己不穿的鞋送给那些孩子们，并在父母和社区志愿者的帮助下成立了Sole Warriors，致力于为有需要的人提供鞋子。由此可推测出，作者提到Sia去建筑工地这件事是为了解释她成立Sole Warriors慈善组织的原因。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Now in its fifth year, the organization collects used shoes, refurbishes(翻新) it and donates the finished products to people in need.(该组织已经成立第五年了，它收集用过的鞋子，进行翻新，并将成品捐赠给有需要的人。)”可知，Sole Warriors将翻新过的鞋子捐给有需要的人。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When it came to looking for a company that would do the refurbishments free of charge, Sia faced one barrier after another before finding a partner. “Being a 13-year-old, I did face a lot of prejudice because people were less willing to hear what I say.” says Sia.(当谈到寻找一家愿意免费进行翻新的公司时，Sia在找到合作伙伴之前面临着一个又一个障碍。Sia说：“作为一个13岁的孩子，我确实面临着很多偏见，因为人们不太愿意听到我说的话。”)”可知，Sia在寻求愿意免费翻新鞋子的公司时，遭遇到了许多公司拒绝。故选C。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But her work isn’t done. “Our goal has always been to touch a million feet,” she says.(但她的工作还没有完成。“我们的目标一直是触及一百万只脚，”她说。)”可推测出，她不会停下Sole Warriors的工作，将会继续为有需要的人提供鞋子。故选D。 B When it comes to popular symbols of marriage, one cannot look past the wedding ring. The wedding ring serves as a perfect symbol of everlasting love — a ring is a circle and thus has no beginning or end, representing the never-ending union of marriage. Evidence suggests that wedding rings were used in ancient Egypt around 6,000 years ago. However, unlike the metals and jewels used today, they were crafted from materials such as leather or bone. In the centuries that followed, the wedding ring tradition was picked up in the West, where it spread first in ancient Rome and Greece, subsequently throughout Europe during the Middle Ages, and eventually to Eastern culture. Throughout history, the round shape of the ring has continued, and so has the tradition of wearing it on the fourth finger of the left hand. The latter practice originated from an ancient belief that a vein (静脉) ran directly from this finger to the heart. Although this belief has since been considered wrong, the custom has continued. Regarding customs surrounding wedding rings, there was a time when only the bride wore a wedding ring. It wasn’t until the early 20th century that the practice of bridegrooms wearing rings gained popularity. This change was influenced by soldiers going off to war, who wore rings as reminders of their loved ones waiting for them at home. Today, the exchange of wedding rings remains an essential part of the wedding ceremony, symbolizing the commitment and love shared between two individuals who will begin a life together. Wedding rings hold a symbolic significance that ties the two members of a married couple. In an ever-changing world, the wedding ring stands as an ancient tradition that is likely to continue for generations to come, reflecting the timeless and everlasting love celebrated through marriage. 5. What can we know about wedding rings in the text? A. They have their roots in Europe. B. They date back to the Middle Ages. C. They symbolize the owners’ social status. D. The round shape has remained unchanged. 6. Why did people in ancient times wear a wedding ring on the fourth finger of the left hand? A. Because it brought good luck to soldiers going off to war. B. Because they wished to keep their lover in their heart. C. Because a vein runs directly from this finger to the heart. D. Because it represented the never-ending union of marriage. 7. What can be predicted about the future of the wedding ring tradition? A. It will undergo great changes. B. It will gradually fall out of date. C. It will probably last for quite a long time. D. It will only be popular in certain cultures. 8. What is the text mainly about? A. The design of wedding rings. B. The significance of wedding rings. C. The long history of wedding rings. D. The materials used for wedding rings. 【答案】5. D 6. C 7. C 8. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了结婚戒指的象征意义、悠久而丰富的历史、早期制作材料、传播过程、相关传统等。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Throughout history, the round shape of the ring has continued, and so has the tradition of wearing it on the fourth finger of the left hand.(纵观历史，圆形的戒指一直延续下来，把它戴在左手无名指上的传统也一直延续下来)”可知，结婚戒指是圆形保持不变。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Throughout history, the round shape of the ring has continued, and so has the tradition of wearing it on the fourth finger of the left hand. The latter practice originated from an ancient belief that a vein (静脉) ran directly from this finger to the heart. Although this belief has since been considered wrong, the custom has continued.(纵观历史，圆形的戒指一直延续下来，把它戴在左手无名指上的传统也一直延续下来。后一种做法源于一种古老的信仰，即静脉直接从这只手指流向心脏。尽管这种信仰后来被认为是错误的，但这种习俗仍在继续)”可知，古代人把结婚戒指戴在左手无名指上是因为静脉直接从这个手指流向心脏。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In an ever-changing world, the wedding ring stands as an ancient tradition that is likely to continue for generations to come, reflecting the timeless and everlasting love celebrated through marriage.(在这个瞬息万变的世界里，结婚戒指作为一种古老的传统，很可能会代代相传，反映出通过婚姻庆祝的永恒的爱情)”可知，结婚戒指传统未来可能会持续很长一段时间。故选C。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“When it comes to popular symbols of marriage, one cannot look past the wedding ring. The wedding ring serves as a perfect symbol of everlasting love — a ring is a circle and thus has no beginning or end, representing the never-ending union of marriage.(当谈到流行的婚姻象征时，人们不能忽视结婚戒指。结婚戒指是永恒爱情的完美象征——戒指是一个圆圈，因此没有起点也没有终点，代表着永不结束的婚姻)”结合文章介绍了结婚戒指的象征意义、悠久而丰富的历史、早期制作材料、传播过程、相关传统等。可知，这篇文章的主要内容是结婚戒指的意义。故选B。 C At the Port of Los Angeles, a long gray ship is doing its part to fight against climate change. On the ship, which belongs to Captura, a Los Angeles-based company, is a system of pipes, pumps, and containers that pumps seawater and removes CO₂, which can be used to make plastics and fuels or buried. Then the treated seawater is returned to the ocean, where it absorbs more CO₂ from the atmosphere, in an effort to battle the rise of the greenhouse gas. Capturing (捕获) CO₂ from the ocean should be easier and cheaper than a seemingly more direct approach: capturing it directly from the air. Direct air capture, which relies on fans to sweep air past chemicals that can absorb CO₂, currently costs between $600 to $1000 per ton of CO₂ removed, largely because atmospheric CO₂ only makes up less than 0.05% of the air by volume. Earth’s oceans, in contrast, hold the gas at a concentration nearly 150 times higher, and absorb roughly 30% of all emitted (排放) CO₂ each year. Besides, ocean capture is developing faster than other ocean CO₂ removal approaches. That’s partly because the systems can usually be attached to desalination (脱盐) plants, wastewater treatment equipment, and other large water-processing systems. However, one challenge for the approach is determining exactly how much CO₂ the treated water absorbs and at what rate. Still, the absorption rates will vary based on where the water is released and how easily it mixes with surrounding water. That makes site selection a really important part of this process. Even if the technology takes off, it will have to be promoted widely to make a difference in offsetting global emissions. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, by 2050 engineered carbon removal efforts will need to remove some 5 billion tons of CO₂ every year to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5°C. At present, the ocean capture companies are removing only thousands of tons. 9. What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about? A. The re use of removed CO₂. B. The basic information about Captura. C. The working process of ocean capture. D. An unusual phenomenon in Los Angeles. 10. Why does ocean capture cost less than direct air capture? A. Because the system is used more widely. B. Because the ocean absorbs CO₂ more directly. C. Because capturing CO₂ from the ocean is faster. D. Because the concentration of CO₂ in seawater is higher. 11. What does the underlined word “offsetting” in Paragraph 5 mean? A. Sending out. B. Canceling out. C. Figuring out. D. Giving out. 12. What does the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change want to convey? A. The ocean capture companies still have a long way to go. B. The ocean capture companies have removed enough CO₂. C. More CO₂ will be emitted into the atmosphere in the future. D. Limiting the global temperature increase to 1.5℃is the final goal. 【答案】9. C 10. D 11. B 12. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了美国开始从事海洋捕捞来捕获二氧化碳，解释了其工作过程、优点以及面临的挑战。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“At the Port of Los Angeles, a long gray ship is doing its part to fight against climate change. On the ship, which belongs to Captura, a Los Angeles-based company, is a system of pipes, pumps, and containers that pumps seawater and removes CO₂, which can be used to make plastics and fuels or buried. Then the treated seawater is returned to the ocean, where it absorbs more CO₂ from the atmosphere, in an effort to battle the rise of the greenhouse gas.(在洛杉矶港，一艘灰色长船正在为应对气候变化尽自己的一份力量。这艘船属于美国洛杉矶的Captura公司，船上有一个由管道、泵和容器组成的系统，可以抽出海水，去除可用于制造塑料和燃料或掩埋的二氧化碳。然后，经过处理的海水被送回海洋，在那里它从大气中吸收更多的二氧化碳，以对抗温室气体的上升)”可知，第一段主要讲了海洋捕捞的工作过程。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Direct air capture, which relies on fans to sweep air past chemicals that can absorb CO₂, currently costs between $600 to $1000 per ton of CO₂ removed, largely because atmospheric CO₂ only makes up less than 0.05% of the air by volume. Earth’s oceans, in contrast, hold the gas at a concentration nearly 150 times higher, and absorb roughly 30% of all emitted (排放) CO₂ each year.(直接空气捕捞依靠风扇将空气扫过可以吸收二氧化碳的化学物质，目前每吨二氧化碳的成本在600到1000美元之间，主要是因为大气中的二氧化碳只占空气体积的不到0.05%。相比之下，地球的海洋所含的二氧化碳浓度几乎是地球的150倍，每年吸收大约30%的二氧化碳排放)”可知，海洋捕捞比直接空气捕捞成本低是因为海水中二氧化碳的浓度更高。故选D。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Even if the technology takes off, it will have to be promoted widely to make a difference in”以及后文“global emissions”可知，即使这项技术大获成功，它也必须得到广泛推广，才能在抵消全球排放方面发挥作用。故划线词意思是“抵消”。故选B。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, by 2050 engineered carbon removal efforts will need to remove some 5 billion tons of CO₂ every year to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5°C. At present, the ocean capture companies are removing only thousands of tons.(根据政府间气候变化专门委员会的报告，到2050年，工程碳去除工作将需要每年去除约50亿吨二氧化碳，以将全球气温上升限制在1.5°C以内。目前，海洋捕集公司只捕走了数千吨)”可知，政府间气候变化专门委员会想要传达海洋捕集公司还有很长的路要走。故选A。 第二节 (共5 小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The importance of learning outside goes beyond fresh air and fun.

Amy often pretended the plants she took care of were beautiful chrysants (菊花), like Mrs. Taylor’s prize flowers. “Foolish girl!” her mother scolded. “No one in our poor village wastes money so foolishly on flowers. Take care of the vegetables. That’s our living.” Amy knew her mother was right. The only person in the village who made money by selling flowers was Mrs. Taylor. Every year she won first prize at the Chrysant Festival. Other competitors whispered that Taylor used magic to grow her chrysants. Amy envied Mrs. Taylor. But chrysants were expensive to start, and Amy could only dream about growing them. One day, Amy visited Mrs. Taylor. Mrs. Taylor was inspecting her chrysants. “Spying on me again!” Taylor frowned. “But, Mrs. Taylor, I only come to see your flowers.” Amy took a deep breath.“I wish I could grow beautiful chrysants and win a prize at the festival like you.” “You?” Mrs. Taylor laughed. “Child, do you know what’s required to grow such flowers? The secret of growing chrysants has been passed down from my grandfather. Stick to vegetables. Leave flowers to those who know the secret.” Taylor pulled up a weak plant and threw it away. Suddenly Amy had an idea. She asked for Taylor’s permission to have that plant, dashed back home, and grew it behind the cottage. She leaned close to the hanging leaves and whispered, “Grow, little flower. You don’t have to win a prize. Just grow.” She took care of her plant every morning and evening. “You are my beautiful plant,” Amy would sing softly, as she weeded and watered it. “Someday, you will bloom (开花) prettier than any flower at the festival.” Each time Amy visited her little plant, it looked greener and taller. Time seemed to fly by as the festival neared. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 On the morning of the festival, when Amy visited her plant again, she screamed with delight. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Amy’s chrysant won first prize as Mrs. Taylor had predicted. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 On the morning of the festival, when Amy visited her plant again, she screamed with delight.
