B Born in Wales in 1950, Martin Lockley was a pioneer in the study of the dinosaur tracks and footprints preserved in rocks around the world. His work helped his fellow paleontologists (古生物学家) understand what the footprints can tell us about dinosaurs and the world that they lived in. The footprints and tracks left behind by dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals are called trace fossils (痕迹化石). They can offer clues to how quickly an animal walked or ran and even what their skin may have looked like. Compared with the body fossils of bones and teeth, trace fossils contain evidence of the interactions that the animals had with their environment and can describe what the physical environment may have looked like. They offer a more reliable way to imagine the speed of a dinosaur than analyzing the bones. Lockley’s mother and father were nature lovers. Lockley loved to observe nature. His father inspired him to “just go out and observe and trust your observations”, which proved important in Lockley’s launching his future career in dinosaur research. He took that advice with him to Gunnison, southwest of Denver, the United States. While North America is home to some of the largest number of fossil footprints in the world, Lockley’s work with prints and his father’s words took him far and wide. He explored fossil and track sites in China, South Korea, Spain and the United Kingdom. In addition to finding the tracks, Lockley devoted time and energy to preserving these important parts of the fossil record. This includes guiding the politics needed to create UNESCO world heritage sites so that future generations wouldn’t lose out on these precious relics of the past. 24. What can we know about trace fossils? A. They can reflect the then environment. B. They are mainly left by some larger animals. C. They can be easier to preserve than teeth fossils. D. They are as accurate as bone fossils in analyzing animals’ speed. 25. What contributes to Lockley’s beginning his career in dinosaur tracks? A. His family’s tradition. B. His father’s encouragement. C. His love for dinosaurs and their footprints. D. His desire to find the largest dinosaur track site. 26. What did Lockley do besides his professional research? A. He explored places of interest around the world. B. He guided fellow paleontologists in their work. C. He conserved and promoted dinosaur track sites. D. He educated the next generation of track hunters. 7. Which can best describe Lockley’s work? A. Dangerous. B. Time-consuming. C. Far-reaching. D. Demanding. C Farmers have long relied on things that work without their involvement — bees to pollinate (授粉) flowers, earthworms (蚯蚓) to turn the soil, swallows to eat pests — to make sure that crops grow the right way. Now a team of British researchers is trying to take this hands-off thinking in a high-tech direction. Last October, scientists at Harper Adams University started a farm called the Hands Free Hectare to make the entire process of farming — from sowing and fertilizing to harvest — fully automatic. The project has just succeeded with five tons of robot-grown barley (大麦). “We believe the best idea is that in the future, farmers will manage groups of smaller, autonomous machines, ” the researchers explained. “They will go out and work in the fields, allowing the farmer to use their time more effectively instead of having to drive up and down the fields.” At the moment, agricultural machines — very large and heavy — can cover a lot of space quickly. But there are shortcomings. “Fertilizer gets sprayed over entire farms, regardless of the different needs of different crops. They’re also so heavy that they’re damaging farmers’ soils,” researcher Jonathan Gill said. Gill and his colleagues went smaller: a tractor, a combine and a harvester, which followed a programmed route, using GPS. Altogether, they spent less than ￡200, 000 on equipment, and used open-source technology and a drone (无人机). Eventually the system will be complex enough to treat different parts of a field, or even individual plants, differently. The team is quick to caution that they don’t want to put farmers out of work. They said, “Instead of being busy in the fields, the farmer will manage the machines and monitor their crops.” The next stop for the barley will be a brewery. That’s not going to be completely automatic. At least not yet. 28. What feature of bees, earthworms and swallows inspired scientists? A. Their dependence on nature. B. Their special way of survival. C. Their selfless love for the earth. D. Their natural involvement in farming. 29. What advantage of Gill’s equipment is introduced in Para. 4? A. Freeing workers totally. B. Reducing the cost of harvest. C. Improving the accuracy of farming. D. Increasing the output of different crops. 30. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Gill’s project is still at the design stage. B. Unemployment wouldn’t be a concern. C. The brewery will realize automation soon. D. Complete automatic farming is unrealistic. 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. The future of hands-free farming B. The functions of agricultural machines C. The development of automatic harvest D. The shortcomings of traditional farming D Pocket gophers (囊鼠) spend most of their lifetime alone, digging underground. Although they’re common across North and Central American grasslands, you’re unlikely to see one—their presence is usually only noticeable thanks to the piles of sandy soil they leave behind reaching more than 500 feet, usually about 50 inches below the ground. Gophers were thought to feed themselves mainly by eating the roots (根) they meet while building new tunnel systems. Yet, digging tunnels is energetically costly and researchers show that only eating the roots just doesn’t make up for the energy spent. To understand how else these animals get enough roots to survive, Francis Putz, a professor at the University of Florida, and the student researcher Veronica Selden looked at the behavior of gophers in northern Florida. They observed that, in the dark and wet tunnels the gophers had dug, new and soft roots grew fast. The gophers seem to be actively looking after the roots like farmers, the scientists say. They create the perfect wet environment for roots and causing soil aeration (透气) by loosening the ground in which plants grow in the first place. Importantly, the gophers spread waste throughout the tunnels, which makes the roots grow more successfully. This is rather unlike other gopher species, which tend to have fixed waste areas. The study found that the gophers’ daily harvest of root crops can supply from 21 to 62 percent of their calorie needs. “They have these long tunnels that cannot be explained,” Putz says. So why do it? If it’s not to “farm food”, he says, “I can’t think of any other reason.” But some researchers wonder if “farming” is a right term for the gophers’ activities. “To describe the activity as farming seems to be overstated,” says scientist Kimberly Asmus Hersey. “I don’t see this as all that different from many other plant and plant-eating animal relationships.” 32. What can be learned about the species of gophers? A. They exist all across America. B. They are highly social animals. C. They mainly live underground. D. They dig tunnels 500 feet deep. 33. What do the researchers say about the roots gophers meet while digging? A. They are as hard as rocks for gophers to eat. B. They make digging work more effort-taking. C. They are perfect home locations for gophers. D. They cannot meet gophers’ needs for energy. 34. What did the researchers find out about the gophers in Florida? A. They prefer building tunnels in dry conditions. B. They try to make their tunnels as deep as possible. C. They create a perfect environment for roots to grow. D. They usually have fixed waste areas in their tunnels 35. What is Hersey’s attitude to Putz’s conclusion on gophers’ behavior? A. She disagrees with it. B. She is curious about it. C. She thinks highly of it. D. She is unconcerned about it. 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。 Keep a Moon Diary Grab a notebook and your favorite pen or pencil, and you’re ready to begin your very own Moon Diary.

New Orleans, Louisiana, was unlike any place I had ever been to. In the French Quarter, tourists walked around all year with long skinny cups in their hands, and there was a popular game going on the streets which were crowded with cars but had few people. What surprised me more than anything, though, was the constant friendliness and compassion of the people of New Orleans. “What can I get for you, sugar?” a waitress about my age asked me on my first day in New Orleans. I was taken aback. The waitress did not even know me, but she treated me like family. She smiled down at me as I pointed to an item on the menu. “Is the pasta good?” I asked her. “It’s not my favorite,” she admitted with a smile. “But I’m more of a girl who prefers rice!” She shrugged, letting out a loud laughter. I looked at her in shock. What was I supposed to say to that? I couldn’t believe that the waitress had just prevented me from ordering something. Actually, she had given me her honest opinion, as if we were best friends. She even told me her name—Mary. She even told me that she just worked as a part-time waitress and that she would be a high school student soon. After a few days in New Orleans, I got used to kind reminders and polite greetings. I also realized how comforting it was to be treated like I belong wherever I went. As soon as I settled into my new high school, I adapted myself to the school life. I was drawn to the lively music scene that New Orleans was famous for. I was a trumpet (小号) player, and I wanted to join the school music club. However, I was afraid that I was too poor in music to be qualified for the school music club. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One afternoon, I was surprised to see a group of students including Mary practicing jazz in the school playground. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, with Mary’s encouragement, my hesitation slowly melted away. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023-2024学年第二学期高中英语人教版（2019）期末 复习监测金卷（七） 考生注意： 1.本试卷由四个部分组成。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 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2分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

Compared with the body fossils of bones and teeth, trace fossils contain evidence of the interactions that the animals had with their environment and can describe what the physical environment may have looked like. They offer a more reliable way to imagine the speed of a dinosaur than analyzing the bones. Lockley’s mother and father were nature lovers. Lockley loved to observe nature. His father inspired him to “just go out and observe and trust your observations”, which proved important in Lockley’s launching his future career in dinosaur research. He took that advice with him to Gunnison, southwest of Denver, the United States. While North America is home to some of the largest number of fossil footprints in the world, Lockley’s work with prints and his father’s words took him far and wide. He explored fossil and track sites in China, South Korea, Spain and the United Kingdom. In addition to finding the tracks, Lockley devoted time and energy to preserving these important parts of the fossil record. This includes guiding the politics needed to create UNESCO world heritage sites so that future generations wouldn’t lose out on these precious relics of the past. 24. What can we know about trace fossils? A. They can reflect the then environment. B. They are mainly left by some larger animals. C. They can be easier to preserve than teeth fossils. D. They are as accurate as bone fossils in analyzing animals’ speed. 25. What contributes to Lockley’s beginning his career in dinosaur tracks? A. His family’s tradition. B. His father’s encouragement. C. His love for dinosaurs and their footprints. D. His desire to find the largest dinosaur track site. 26. What did Lockley do besides his professional research? A. He explored places of interest around the world. B. He guided fellow paleontologists in their work. C. He conserved and promoted dinosaur track sites. D. He educated the next generation of track hunters. 7. Which can best describe Lockley’s work? A. Dangerous. B. Time-consuming. C. Far-reaching. D. Demanding. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。马丁•洛克利是研究世界各地岩石中保存的恐龙足迹的先驱。他的工作帮助他的古生物学家同行们了解了这些脚印能告诉我们的关于恐龙和它们生活的世界的信息。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Compared with the body fossils of bones and teeth, trace fossils contain evidence of the interactions that the animals had with their environment and can describe what the physical environment may have looked like. They offer a more reliable way to imagine the speed of a dinosaur than analyzing the bones.(与骨骼和牙齿的身体化石相比，痕迹化石包含了动物与环境相互作用的证据，可以描述物理环境可能是什么样子的。它们提供了一种比分析骨头更可靠的方法来想象恐龙的速度。)”可知，痕迹化石可以反映当时的环境情况。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“His father inspired him to “just go out and observe and trust your observations”, which proved important in Lockley’s launching his future career in dinosaur research.(他的父亲鼓励他“走出去观察，相信你的观察结果”，这对洛克利开始他未来的恐龙研究生涯很重要。)”可知，Lockley开启他的恐龙化石事业是受到他父亲的鼓励。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In addition to finding the tracks, Lockley devoted time and energy to preserving these important parts of the fossil record. This includes guiding the politics needed to create UNESCO world heritage sites so that future generations wouldn’t lose out on these precious relics of the past.( 除了找到这些踪迹，Lockley还投入了时间和精力来保存化石记录中的这些重要部分。这包括指导创造联合国教科文组织的世界遗产的政治需要，这样后代就不会失去过去这些珍贵的遗迹。)”可知，Lockley除了自己的专业研究，还致力于保护和推广恐龙痕迹和遗址。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段的“His work helped his fellow paleontologists (古生物学家) understand what the footprints can tell us about dinosaurs and the world that they lived in. (他的工作帮助他的古生物学家同行们了解了这些脚印能告诉我们的关于恐龙和它们生活的世界的信息。)”以及最后一段的内容“In addition to finding the tracks, Lockley devoted time and energy to preserving these important parts of the fossil record. This includes guiding the politics needed to create UNESCO world heritage sites so that future generations wouldn’t lose out on these precious relics of the past.( 除了找到这些踪迹，Lockley还投入了时间和精力来保存化石记录中的这些重要部分。这包括指导创造联合国教科文组织的世界遗产的政治需要，这样后代就不会失去过去这些珍贵的遗迹。)”可推知，Lockley的工作影响深远。故选C。 C Farmers have long relied on things that work without their involvement — bees to pollinate (授粉) flowers, earthworms (蚯蚓) to turn the soil, swallows to eat pests — to make sure that crops grow the right way. Now a team of British researchers is trying to take this hands-off thinking in a high-tech direction. Last October, scientists at Harper Adams University started a farm called the Hands Free Hectare to make the entire process of farming — from sowing and fertilizing to harvest — fully automatic. The project has just succeeded with five tons of robot-grown barley (大麦). “We believe the best idea is that in the future, farmers will manage groups of smaller, autonomous machines, ” the researchers explained. “They will go out and work in the fields, allowing the farmer to use their time more effectively instead of having to drive up and down the fields.” At the moment, agricultural machines — very large and heavy — can cover a lot of space quickly. But there are shortcomings. “Fertilizer gets sprayed over entire farms, regardless of the different needs of different crops. They’re also so heavy that they’re damaging farmers’ soils,” researcher Jonathan Gill said. Gill and his colleagues went smaller: a tractor, a combine and a harvester, which followed a programmed route, using GPS. Altogether, they spent less than ￡200, 000 on equipment, and used open-source technology and a drone (无人机). Eventually the system will be complex enough to treat different parts of a field, or even individual plants, differently. The team is quick to caution that they don’t want to put farmers out of work. They said, “Instead of being busy in the fields, the farmer will manage the machines and monitor their crops.” The next stop for the barley will be a brewery. That’s not going to be completely automatic. At least not yet. 28. What feature of bees, earthworms and swallows inspired scientists? A. Their dependence on nature. B. Their special way of survival. C. Their selfless love for the earth. D. Their natural involvement in farming. 29. What advantage of Gill’s equipment is introduced in Para. 4? A. Freeing workers totally. B. Reducing the cost of harvest. C. Improving the accuracy of farming. D. Increasing the output of different crops. 30. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Gill’s project is still at the design stage. B. Unemployment wouldn’t be a concern. C. The brewery will realize automation soon. D. Complete automatic farming is unrealistic. 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. The future of hands-free farming B. The functions of agricultural machines C. The development of automatic harvest D. The shortcomings of traditional farming 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了英国研究人员尝试将传统农业中的“无人工干预”思维引入现代高科技农业的项目。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Farmers have long relied on things that work without their involvement — bees to pollinate (授粉) flowers, earthworms (蚯蚓) to turn the soil, swallows to eat pests — to make sure that crops grow the right way. Now a team of British researchers is trying to take this hands-off thinking in a high-tech direction.(长期以来，农民们一直依靠那些无需他们参与就能工作的行为——蜜蜂授粉，蚯蚓翻土，燕子吃害虫——来确保作物以正确的方式生长。现在，一组英国研究人员正试图将这种不干预思维向高科技方向发展)”可知，传统农业中，蜜蜂、蚯蚓和燕子等动物的行为让它们自动参与到农业中来，帮助了作物生长，这些行为无需人类的干预。科学家受蜜蜂、蚯蚓和燕子对农业的自然参与的启发，想把这种无需人类的干预，即“不干预思维”带入现代农业中。故选D项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Gill and his colleagues went smaller: a tractor, a combine and a harvester, which followed a programmed route, using GPS. Altogether, they spent less than ￡ 200, 000 on equipment, and used open-source technology and a drone (无人机). Eventually the system will be complex enough to treat different parts of a field, or even individual plants, differently.(吉尔和他的同事们做了更小的实验：一台拖拉机、一台联合收割机和一台收割机，它们使用GPS按照设定的路线运行。总的来说，他们在设备上花了不到20万英镑，并使用了开源技术和一架无人机。最终，该系统将变得足够复杂，能够以不同的方式对待田地的不同部分，甚至是单个植物)”可知，吉尔的农业设备配备了GPS，可以按照设定的路线运行，使用了无人机，更能以不同的方式对待不同的地块，甚至关注到单个植物。由此推知，吉尔设备的优点是提高农业生产的精度。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The team is quick to caution that they don’t want to put farmers out of work. They said, “Instead of being busy in the fields, the farmer will manage the machines and monitor their crops.”(该小组很快警告说，他们不想让农民失业。他们说：“农民将不用在地里忙碌，而是管理机器，监控庄稼。”)”可推知，农民不会因此而失业，他们只是换了一个工作岗位，所以失业不会成为问题。故选B项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全全文，结合第一段中“Farmers have long relied on things that work without their involvement — bees to pollinate (授粉) flowers, earthworms (蚯蚓) to turn the soil, swallows to eat pests — to make sure that crops grow the right way.

Although they’re common across North and Central American grasslands, you’re unlikely to see one—their presence is usually only noticeable thanks to the piles of sandy soil they leave behind reaching more than 500 feet, usually about 50 inches below the ground. Gophers were thought to feed themselves mainly by eating the roots (根) they meet while building new tunnel systems. Yet, digging tunnels is energetically costly and researchers show that only eating the roots just doesn’t make up for the energy spent. To understand how else these animals get enough roots to survive, Francis Putz, a professor at the University of Florida, and the student researcher Veronica Selden looked at the behavior of gophers in northern Florida. They observed that, in the dark and wet tunnels the gophers had dug, new and soft roots grew fast. The gophers seem to be actively looking after the roots like farmers, the scientists say. They create the perfect wet environment for roots and causing soil aeration (透气) by loosening the ground in which plants grow in the first place. Importantly, the gophers spread waste throughout the tunnels, which makes the roots grow more successfully. This is rather unlike other gopher species, which tend to have fixed waste areas. The study found that the gophers’ daily harvest of root crops can supply from 21 to 62 percent of their calorie needs. “They have these long tunnels that cannot be explained,” Putz says. So why do it? If it’s not to “farm food”, he says, “I can’t think of any other reason.” But some researchers wonder if “farming” is a right term for the gophers’ activities. “To describe the activity as farming seems to be overstated,” says scientist Kimberly Asmus Hersey. “I don’t see this as all that different from many other plant and plant-eating animal relationships.” 32. What can be learned about the species of gophers? A. They exist all across America. B. They are highly social animals. C. They mainly live underground. D. They dig tunnels 500 feet deep. 33. What do the researchers say about the roots gophers meet while digging? A. They are as hard as rocks for gophers to eat. B. They make digging work more effort-taking. C. They are perfect home locations for gophers. D. They cannot meet gophers’ needs for energy. 34. What did the researchers find out about the gophers in Florida? A. They prefer building tunnels in dry conditions. B. They try to make their tunnels as deep as possible. C. They create a perfect environment for roots to grow. D. They usually have fixed waste areas in their tunnels 35. What is Hersey’s attitude to Putz’s conclusion on gophers’ behavior? A. She disagrees with it. B. She is curious about it. C. She thinks highly of it. D. She is unconcerned about it. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. D 35.

New Orleans, Louisiana, was unlike any place I had ever been to. In the French Quarter, tourists walked around all year with long skinny cups in their hands, and there was a popular game going on the streets which were crowded with cars but had few people. What surprised me more than anything, though, was the constant friendliness and compassion of the people of New Orleans. “What can I get for you, sugar?” a waitress about my age asked me on my first day in New Orleans. I was taken aback. The waitress did not even know me, but she treated me like family. She smiled down at me as I pointed to an item on the menu. “Is the pasta good?” I asked her. “It’s not my favorite,” she admitted with a smile. “But I’m more of a girl who prefers rice!” She shrugged, letting out a loud laughter. I looked at her in shock. What was I supposed to say to that? I couldn’t believe that the waitress had just prevented me from ordering something. Actually, she had given me her honest opinion, as if we were best friends. She even told me her name—Mary. She even told me that she just worked as a part-time waitress and that she would be a high school student soon. After a few days in New Orleans, I got used to kind reminders and polite greetings. I also realized how comforting it was to be treated like I belong wherever I went. As soon as I settled into my new high school, I adapted myself to the school life. I was drawn to the lively music scene that New Orleans was famous for. I was a trumpet (小号) player, and I wanted to join the school music club. However, I was afraid that I was too poor in music to be qualified for the school music club. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One afternoon, I was surprised to see a group of students including Mary practicing jazz in the school playground. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, with Mary’s encouragement, my hesitation slowly melted away. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One afternoon, I was surprised to see a group of students including Mary practicing jazz in the school playground. The vibrant notes of trumpets, saxophones, and drums intermingled under the warm sun, creating a harmonious symphony that echoed throughout the campus. Mary, her fingers dancing across the valves of her trumpet, noticed me watching from afar and beckoned me over with an inviting smile. “You play, don't you? Come join us!” she shouted above the music, her eyes sparkling with genuine enthusiasm. My heart raced; this was the chance I had secretly hoped for, yet my insecurities held me back. Finally, with Mary’s encouragement, my hesitation slowly melted away. I gathered my courage and approached the ensemble, trumpet in hand. The group warmly welcomed me, their acceptance dispelling my fears. Under Mary’s patient guidance, I began to find my rhythm within the ensemble. Our practices became a haven where mistakes transformed into learning opportunities, and every note played strengthened my confidence. Through this experience, I learned that sometimes, it takes a little push from a friend to realize one’s potential and truly belong. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索，主要讲述了一个中学生在升入中学前的暑假期间，初次搬到美国南部新奥尔良的生活经历。新奥尔良独特的人文风情和居民们的友好态度给主人公留下了深刻印象，尤其是侍应生玛丽的亲切交流，让主人公感受到如同家一般的温暖。随着时间推移，主人公不仅适应了新奥尔良的生活方式，还在新的高中里被当地蓬勃的音乐氛围所吸引。作为一名小号手，虽然担心自己的音乐水平不足以加入学校的音乐俱乐部，但主人公依然被这座城市独有的魅力和人们之间的善意所鼓舞，在玛丽的鼓励下和帮助下，她决定勇敢地追寻着自己的音乐梦想和归属感。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由一段的首句“一天下午，我惊讶地看到包括玛丽在内的一群学生在学校操场上练习爵士乐。”可知，本段可描写玛丽邀请作者一起加入乐队，但是作者没有自信，对此犹豫不决。 ②由第二段首句“最后，在玛丽的鼓励下，我的犹豫慢慢消失了。”可知，本段可描写作者在玛丽的鼓励下，加入了乐队，通过不断地练习，作者取得了进步，增强了自信心。 2.续写线索：邀请加入——没有信心，犹豫不决——鼓励——加入乐队——不断练习——自信心增强——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/observe ②大喊：shout//exclaim ③闪烁：sparkle/shine/glitter 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised/astonished/amazed ②充满活力的：vibrant/energetic 【点睛】【高分句型1】The vibrant notes of trumpets, saxophones, and drums intermingled under the warm sun, creating a harmonious symphony that echoed throughout the campus. （运用了that引导的限定性定语从句） 【高分句型2】Our practices became a haven where mistakes transformed into learning opportunities, and every note played strengthened my confidence. （运用了where引导的限定性定语从句） 1—5 ABABC 6—10 CAABC 11—15 ACBCC 16—20 AABCB 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
