B I’m a 66-year-old harp (竖琴) student. Others in my class are five, seven, ten... I fancy myself a source of inspiration for them, who would say, “If he can do it, I can, too!” For some years before we stepped on the real stage, our recitals (演奏会) were given online. I could play perfectly — when no one was looking. But those online recitals caused me a kind of stage fright. Something about being watched and recorded, perhaps? Anyway, it was not too serious. However, last year was a whole new ball game. That spring came with a real stage. An excited crowd. Clapping. Filming. A real recital! Exciting but stressful. I didn’t know if I could handle it. The adorable little performers were delicately dressed in their party-best skirts, with leather shoes hanging beneath too-high chairs, unable to reach the ground. Luckily, I could. We sat among the guests before the show, struck by their excitement. One by one, up and down, my fellow students went — each playing superbly. Then, it was my turn. I thought I was ready. But I struggled from the start. I kept my fingers moving. Sound still radiated from the strings, but the tune was all wrong. I restarted both pieces three times. When I got totally lost for a few notes in the middle, I thought, “I don’t know what this is anymore, but, hey, it sounds kind of nice!” I kept thinking, “Make a joyful noise, regardless!” That eight minutes was like eight hours. Being the eldest in the room often makes people think you’re the best. The truth, especially at that recital, was far different. But I would have awarded myself the gold for chutzpah — start playing a new instrument at 62, and then perform in front of a large audience. Making music knows no age, and all players are welcome. Looking back, I realize my lengthy life experience has taught me that the show must go on — no matter what is occurring. Life’s music is playing! It’s my job to just show up and keep trying. 19. What can be inferred about the author at online recitals? A. He suffered mild stress in playing. B. He felt too nervous to play publicly. C. He paid no attention to the audience. D. He played better than other performers. 20. How did the author deal with his stage fright on the real stage? A. By keeping a positive mindset. B. By interacting with the audience. C. By adjusting the order of his pieces. D. By focusing on the playing techniques. 21. What does the underlined word “chutzpah” refer to in paragraph 6? A. Honesty and tolerance. B. Experience and wisdom. C. Competence and talent. D. Determination and courage. 22. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. Hard work pays off. B. Age is no barrier to trying. C. Practice makes perfect. D. Failure is the mother of success. C Have you ever seen the Moon rising over your town or city? It can appear very large when it is low on the horizon. Our moon goes through phases(月相) and it looks a little different every day. When the whole moon is lit up, it is called a full moon. When the Moon is entirely dark, it’s a new moon. When there is only a thin edge of the circle shining, it’s a crescent moon. When a crescent moon is rising, we can occasionally see a unique event. When the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon are lined up just right, some of the sunlight that hits the Earth can be reflected onto the Moon. This causes most part of the Moon to give off a faint glow, while the rest of the Moon is brightly lit by the sunlight. This phenomenon is named the Da Vinci glow. It was Leonardo da Vinci a great artist, inventor and scientist, who explained it for the first time. Sometimes, it is also called “earthshine.” When Da Vinci wrote about earthshine, he suggested that it might be caused by sunlight reflected from the Earth’s oceans. He was almost completely correct, except for one detail: most of the reflected sunlight comes from the clouds in our atmosphere. The reflected light from the Earth is bright enough to light up the side of the Moon that isn’t receiving direct sunlight. The Da Vinci glow is not easy to see. Conditions need to be just right. Due to the angles of light, the Moon has to be very low on the horizon. The best time to see it will be in the days before and after the new moon. During these days, the lit-up edge of the crescent moon is at its thinnest stage. If you observe the Moon before sunrise or after sunset, it may be possible to witness the reflected light from the Earth. For the best experience, choose a location outdoors where there is not too much artificial light. You can use a telescope, but it’s not necessary since the Moon will look just as impressive when viewed with the bare eye. 23. Which of the following is the Da Vinci glow? A. B. C. D. 24. What is the main cause of the Da Vinci glow? A. Sunlight received by the Moon’s surface. B. Sunlight reflected from the Earth’s clouds. C. Sunlight reflected from the Earth’s oceans. D. Sunlight received by the Moon’s lit-up edge. 25 Why is the Da Vinci glow an unusual phenomenon? A. It requires specific light conditions. B. It lasts too short to be observed. C. It occurs at the crescent moon stage. D. It needs bright light from the Sun. 26. Which of the following matters most to an ideal observation of the phenomenon? A. A suitable place. B. Good eyesight. C. A special instrument. D. Bright moonlight. D A “spark bird” is the species that inspires someone to start birdwatching, namely birding. For Trish Kane, that bird was the cardinal (红衣凤头鸟). Hearing cardinals’ calls was an initial step toward over 1,960 hours of birding, 33 field notebooks and a career change. In her book, Birding to Change the World, Kane charts her transformation from a journalist to an environmentalist. In 2005, a terrible hurricane hit Kane’s hometown. After it, she had to cope with the loss of her home. In watching the cardinals and other birds, she found relief. Soon she started bringing her students along. “My students stared at me in disbelief when I told them I had never cared about birds before,” Kane writes. “I suddenly wondered how many creatures would die because of the way we lived.” She decided to pursue an environmentally-conscious career. In 2007, she took a course to study environmental science. Most of the book focuses on Kane’s efforts to preserve Warner Park, an ideal location satisfying birding requirements for her class. She successfully campaigned to stop the construction of a parking lot. Her activism snowballed into a local bird watching and protecting organization. It eventually became part of Kane’s doctoral research, and launched a birding class that pairs middle school students with college-student advisors. The book shows readers that a good knowledge of nature doesn’t require a degree. Take Jeremy, a seemingly uninterested boy in Kane’s birding class. When reporters joined an outing, the normally quiet Jeremy started talking excitedly about the bunting, a small blue bird. Kane soon learned that he had secretly taken to studying the field guide given to him by his advisor. At its core, Birding to Change the World is about how people and birds today depend on one another. “For birds, that dependence is concrete. For thousands of years, our species has seen birds as a symbol of liberation,” Kane writes. In her case, it is liberation from the grief and depression that the hurricane brought. “Bird by bird, they carve a new pathway in my life, a joyful pathway.” 27. What made Kane pursue an environmentalist career? A. Her guilt about the serious harm to birds. B. The desire to guide students to go birding. C. The comfort from birding after the disaster. D. Her students’ disbelief in her ignorance of birds. 28. What can we learn about Kane from paragraph 3? A. She worked hard on her latest book. B. She protected Warner Park on her own. C. Her birding class consisted of advisors. D. Her activism led to positive chain effects. 29. What does Jeremy’s experience suggest? A. Interest in nature differs between kids and adults. B. Children learn more from nature than from books. C. Children are born curious about outdoor activities. D. Potential in kids can be released with proper guide. 30. Which is the best title for the text? A. A Joyful Experience of Birding B. The Transformative Power of Birding C. A Life Journey of an Environmentalist D.

She felt like she was an outsider. School, in particular, was a source of anxiety for her. When she was depressed, she would hide in her small garden. But the plants there never seemed to thrive (繁茂). It was always a disappointment, and she felt discouraged. “I am just a loser,” she thought to herself. One day, while visiting a gardening website, Maggie discovered an exciting smart device called “GreenThumb.” It claimed to help even the most inexperienced gardeners grow amazing plants. Interested, she decided to give it a try. As soon as Maggie received the GreenThumb device and unboxed it, she carefully followed the set up steps, and within minutes, GreenThumb was activated and began to scan (扫描) the garden. Imagine having a cool device that tells you exactly what the plants need — like a personal plant caretaker! It reminds you to water, gives you tips on when to feed your plants, and even warns you about diseases. GreenThumb was just like a friend who always cared and helped. During a lunch break at school, some classmates began discussing the latest events that had happened. Maggie wanted to share GreenThumb with others, too. But her voice was soon drowned out by louder voices. The conversation soon shifted to music, with each person talking about their favorite song or artist. Maybe they didn’t hear her. Or they were just uninterested. She sank into silence, feeling unseen and unheard again. “I’ll show you what I can do with GreenThumb,” she said to herself with determination. Every day after school, Maggie couldn’t wait to take care of her garden. She spent countless hours in her garden tending to each plant. At first, she strictly followed GreenThumb’s instructions. As time went by, she found her own talent in gardening and added some creative ideas to make her garden unique. 注意： 1. 词数150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 To Maggie’s joy, her garden became beautiful and lively in a few months. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I saw the pictures online! How did you make your garden so amazing?”a classmate asked one morning. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 试卷类型：A 2024年深圳市普通高中高二年级调研考试 英语 2024.7 试卷共10页，卷面满分130分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在答题卡上。将条形码横贴在答题卡右上角“条形码粘贴处”。 2. 作答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔在答题卡上将对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑；如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案。答案不能答在试卷上。 3. 非选择题必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应位置上；不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答无效。 4. 考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，留存试卷，交回答题卡。 第一部分 基础知识（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 单项选择 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 1.

Others in my class are five, seven, ten... I fancy myself a source of inspiration for them, who would say, “If he can do it, I can, too!” For some years before we stepped on the real stage, our recitals (演奏会) were given online. I could play perfectly — when no one was looking. But those online recitals caused me a kind of stage fright. Something about being watched and recorded, perhaps? Anyway, it was not too serious. However, last year was a whole new ball game. That spring came with a real stage. An excited crowd. Clapping. Filming. A real recital! Exciting but stressful. I didn’t know if I could handle it. The adorable little performers were delicately dressed in their party-best skirts, with leather shoes hanging beneath too-high chairs, unable to reach the ground. Luckily, I could. We sat among the guests before the show, struck by their excitement. One by one, up and down, my fellow students went — each playing superbly. Then, it was my turn. I thought I was ready. But I struggled from the start. I kept my fingers moving. Sound still radiated from the strings, but the tune was all wrong. I restarted both pieces three times. When I got totally lost for a few notes in the middle, I thought, “I don’t know what this is anymore, but, hey, it sounds kind of nice!” I kept thinking, “Make a joyful noise, regardless!” That eight minutes was like eight hours. Being the eldest in the room often makes people think you’re the best. The truth, especially at that recital, was far different. But I would have awarded myself the gold for chutzpah — start playing a new instrument at 62, and then perform in front of a large audience. Making music knows no age, and all players are welcome. Looking back, I realize my lengthy life experience has taught me that the show must go on — no matter what is occurring. Life’s music is playing! It’s my job to just show up and keep trying. 19. What can be inferred about the author at online recitals? A. He suffered mild stress in playing. B. He felt too nervous to play publicly. C. He paid no attention to the audience. D. He played better than other performers. 20. How did the author deal with his stage fright on the real stage? A. By keeping a positive mindset. B. By interacting with the audience. C. By adjusting the order of his pieces. D. By focusing on the playing techniques. 21. What does the underlined word “chutzpah” refer to in paragraph 6? A. Honesty and tolerance. B. Experience and wisdom. C. Competence and talent. D. Determination and courage. 22. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. Hard work pays off. B. Age is no barrier to trying. C. Practice makes perfect. D. Failure is the mother of success. 【答案】19. A 20. A 21. D 22. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了一位66岁的竖琴学生面对从线上到线下演奏会的挑战，虽然过程中遇到了紧张和失误，但依然以积极和勇敢的态度去参与和享受音乐带来的乐趣，传达了无论年龄多大都不应停止尝试和学习的生活态度。 【19题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段中的“I could play perfectly —when no one was looking. But those online recitals caused me a kind of stage fright. Something about being watched and recorded, perhaps? Anyway, it was not too serious. (我可以在没人注意的时候完美地演奏。但是那些网上演奏会让我有点怯场。也许是关于被监视和记录的事？不管怎么说，还不算太严重。)”可知，作者在网络演奏会上感到轻微的压力。故选A。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第五段中的“When I got totally lost for a few notes in the middle, I thought, “I don’t know what this is anymore, but, hey, it sounds kind of nice!” I kept thinking, “Make a joyful noise, regardless!” (当我完全迷失在中间的几个音符时，我想，“我不知道这是什么了，但是，嘿，听起来还不错!”我一直在想：“不管怎样，发出欢乐的声音吧！”)”可知，作者通过保持积极的心态来应对现场演奏的紧张。故选A。 【21题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第六段中划线词下文“start playing a new instrument at 62, and then perform in front of a large audience. (62岁开始演奏一种新乐器，然后在一大群观众面前表演。)”可知，作者在62岁开始学习新乐器并在众人面前表演，这显示出他的决心和勇气；“But I would have awarded myself the gold for chutzpah(但我会因为chutzpah而奖励自己)”中的chutzpah指的是“决心，勇气”。A. Honesty and tolerance诚实和宽容；B. Experience and wisdom经验和智慧；C. Competence and talent能力和才能；D. Determination and courage决心和勇气。故选D。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是文章倒数第二段中的“But I would have awarded myself the gold for chutzpah — start playing a new instrument at 62, and then perform in front of a large audience. (但我会因为勇气而奖励自己一枚金牌——62岁开始演奏一种新乐器，然后在一大群观众面前表演。)”和最后一段“Making music knows no age, and all players are welcome. Looking back, I realize my lengthy life experience has taught me that the show must go on — no matter what is occurring. Life’s music is playing! It’s my job to just show up and keep trying.(制作音乐不分年龄，欢迎所有的玩家。回首往事，我意识到我漫长的人生经历教会了我，无论发生什么，演出都必须继续下去。生命的音乐正在奏响!我的工作就是出现并继续努力。)”可知，作者想要传达的信息是年龄不是尝试新事物的障碍。故选B。 C Have you ever seen the Moon rising over your town or city? It can appear very large when it is low on the horizon. Our moon goes through phases(月相) and it looks a little different every day. When the whole moon is lit up, it is called a full moon. When the Moon is entirely dark, it’s a new moon. When there is only a thin edge of the circle shining, it’s a crescent moon. When a crescent moon is rising, we can occasionally see a unique event. When the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon are lined up just right, some of the sunlight that hits the Earth can be reflected onto the Moon. This causes most part of the Moon to give off a faint glow, while the rest of the Moon is brightly lit by the sunlight. This phenomenon is named the Da Vinci glow. It was Leonardo da Vinci, a great artist, inventor and scientist, who explained it for the first time. Sometimes, it is also called “earthshine.” When Da Vinci wrote about earthshine, he suggested that it might be caused by sunlight reflected from the Earth’s oceans. He was almost completely correct, except for one detail: most of the reflected sunlight comes from the clouds in our atmosphere. The reflected light from the Earth is bright enough to light up the side of the Moon that isn’t receiving direct sunlight. The Da Vinci glow is not easy to see. Conditions need to be just right. Due to the angles of light, the Moon has to be very low on the horizon. The best time to see it will be in the days before and after the new moon. During these days, the lit-up edge of the crescent moon is at its thinnest stage. If you observe the Moon before sunrise or after sunset, it may be possible to witness the reflected light from the Earth. For the best experience, choose a location outdoors where there is not too much artificial light. You can use a telescope, but it’s not necessary since the Moon will look just as impressive when viewed with the bare eye. 23. Which of the following is the Da Vinci glow? A. B. C. D. 24. What is the main cause of the Da Vinci glow? A. Sunlight received by the Moon’s surface. B. Sunlight reflected from the Earth’s clouds. C. Sunlight reflected from the Earth’s oceans. D. Sunlight received by the Moon’s lit-up edge. 25. Why is the Da Vinci glow an unusual phenomenon? A. It requires specific light conditions. B. It lasts too short to be observed. C. It occurs at the crescent moon stage. D. It needs bright light from the Sun. 26. Which of the following matters most to an ideal observation of the phenomenon? A. A suitable place. B. Good eyesight. C. A special instrument. D. Bright moonlight. 【答案】23. B 24. B 25. A 26. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了月球的达·芬奇辉光现象。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This causes most part of the Moon to give off a faint glow, while the rest of the Moon is brightly lit by the sunlight. (这导致月球的大部分发出微弱的光芒，而月球的其余部分则被阳光照亮。)”和第三段中“This phenomenon is named the Da Vinci glow.(这种现象被命名为达·芬奇辉光。)”可知，B项符合达·芬奇辉光现象。故选B项。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“He was almost completely correct, except for one detail: most of the reflected sunlight comes from the clouds in our atmosphere. (他几乎是完全正确的，除了一个细节：大部分反射的阳光来自我们大气层中的云。)”可知，达芬奇辉光主要是地球云层反射的阳光。故选B项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第一段中“The Da Vinci glow is not easy to see. Conditions need to be just right. Due to the angles of light, the Moon has to be very low on the horizon.(达·芬奇辉光不容易被看到。条件需要恰到好处。由于光线的角度，月球必须在地平线上非常低。)”可知，达·芬奇辉光是一种不寻常的现象，因为它需要特定的光照条件。故选A项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“For the best experience, choose a location outdoors where there is not too much artificial light. (为了获得最佳体验，选择室外没有太多人造光的地方。)”可知，一个合适的地方对观察该现象最重要。故选A项。 D A “spark bird” is the species that inspires someone to start birdwatching, namely birding. For Trish Kane, that bird was the cardinal (红衣凤头鸟). Hearing cardinals’ calls was an initial step toward over 1,960 hours of birding, 33 field notebooks and a career change. In her book, Birding to Change the World, Kane charts her transformation from a journalist to an environmentalist. In 2005, a terrible hurricane hit Kane’s hometown. After it, she had to cope with the loss of her home. In watching the cardinals and other birds, she found relief. Soon she started bringing her students along. “My students stared at me in disbelief when I told them I had never cared about birds before,” Kane writes. “I suddenly wondered how many creatures would die because of the way we lived.” She decided to pursue an environmentally-conscious career. In 2007, she took a course to study environmental science. Most of the book focuses on Kane’s efforts to preserve Warner Park, an ideal location satisfying birding requirements for her class. She successfully campaigned to stop the construction of a parking lot. Her activism snowballed into a local bird watching and protecting organization. It eventually became part of Kane’s doctoral research, and launched a birding class that pairs middle school students with college-student advisors. The book shows readers that a good knowledge of nature doesn’t require a degree. Take Jeremy, a seemingly uninterested boy in Kane’s birding class. When reporters joined an outing, the normally quiet Jeremy started talking excitedly about the bunting, a small blue bird. Kane soon learned that he had secretly taken to studying the field guide given to him by his advisor. At its core, Birding to Change the World is about how people and birds today depend on one another. “For birds, that dependence is concrete. For thousands of years, our species has seen birds as a symbol of liberation,” Kane writes. In her case, it is liberation from the grief and depression that the hurricane brought. “Bird by bird, they carve a new pathway in my life, a joyful pathway.” 27. What made Kane pursue an environmentalist career? A. Her guilt about the serious harm to birds. B. The desire to guide students to go birding. C. The comfort from birding after the disaster. D. Her students’ disbelief in her ignorance of birds. 28. What can we learn about Kane from paragraph 3? A. She worked hard on her latest book. B. She protected Warner Park on her own. C. Her birding class consisted of advisors. D. Her activism led to positive chain effects. 29. What does Jeremy’s experience suggest? A. Interest in nature differs between kids and adults. B Children learn more from nature than from books. C. Children are born curious about outdoor activities. D. Potential in kids can be released with proper guide. 30. Which is the best title for the text? A. A Joyful Experience of Birding B. The Transformative Power of Birding C. A Life Journey of an Environmentalist D. The Self-appreciation of a Book Writer 【答案】27. C 28. D 29. D 30. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了Kane通过观鸟缓解了失去家园的痛苦，于是她从事环保事业，并且引发了积极的连锁效应。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In watching the cardinals and other birds, she found relief. Soon she started bringing her students along. “My students stared at me in disbelief when I told them I had never cared about birds before,” Kane writes. “I suddenly wondered how many creatures would die because of the way we lived.” She decided to pursue an environmentally-conscious career.(在观察红雀和其他鸟类时，她找到了解脱。很快，她开始带着她的学生一起去。“当我告诉学生们我以前从未关心过鸟类时，他们难以置信地盯着我看，”凯恩写道。“我突然想知道，有多少生物会因为我们的生活方式而死去。”她决定从事环保事业)”可知，灾后观鸟带来的安慰促使凯恩从事环保事业。故选C。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Most of the book focuses on Kane’s efforts to preserve Warner Park, an ideal location satisfying birding requirements for her class. She successfully campaigned to stop the construction of a parking lot. Her activism snowballed into a local bird watching and protecting organization. It eventually became part of Kane’s doctoral research, and launched a birding class that pairs middle school students with college-student advisors.(这本书的大部分内容都集中在凯恩保护华纳公园的努力上，华纳公园是一个理想的地方，满足了她的班级观鸟的要求。她成功地发起运动，阻止了一个停车场的建设。她的行动如滚雪球般发展成了当地的一个鸟类观察和保护组织。它最终成为凯恩博士研究的一部分，并推出了一个观鸟班，让中学生和大学生顾问结成对子)”可知，凯恩的行动主义产生了积极的连锁效应。故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Take Jeremy, a seemingly uninterested boy in Kane’s birding class. When reporters joined an outing, the normally quiet Jeremy started talking excitedly about the bunting, a small blue bird. Kane soon learned that he had secretly taken to studying the field guide given to him by his advisor.(以杰里米为例，他似乎对凯恩的观鸟课不感兴趣。当记者们参加一次郊游时，平时安静的杰里米开始兴奋地谈论起狩猎一只蓝色的小鸟。凯恩很快就知道他已经秘密地开始研究他的导师给他的野外指南)”可知，杰里米的经历说明了孩子的潜能可以在适当的引导下释放出来。故选D。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“In her case, it is liberation from the grief and depression that the hurricane brought. “Bird by bird, they carve a new pathway in my life, a joyful pathway.”(对她来说，这是从飓风带来的悲伤和沮丧中解脱出来的。“一只又一只鸟，它们在我的生命中开辟了一条新的道路，一条快乐的道路。”)”结合文章主要说明了Kane通过观鸟缓解了失去家园的痛苦，于是她从事环保事业，并且引发了积极的连锁效应。可知，B选项“观鸟的变革力量”最符合文章标题。故选B。 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。 As the world’s population increases, so does the need for food, especially from animal sources.

She felt like she was an outsider. School, in particular, was a source of anxiety for her. When she was depressed, she would hide in her small garden. But the plants there never seemed to thrive (繁茂). It was always a disappointment, and she felt discouraged. “I am just a loser,” she thought to herself. One day, while visiting a gardening website, Maggie discovered an exciting smart device called “GreenThumb.” It claimed to help even the most inexperienced gardeners grow amazing plants. Interested, she decided to give it a try. As soon as Maggie received the GreenThumb device and unboxed it, she carefully followed the set up steps, and within minutes, GreenThumb was activated and began to scan (扫描) the garden. Imagine having a cool device that tells you exactly what the plants need — like a personal plant caretaker! It reminds you to water, gives you tips on when to feed your plants, and even warns you about diseases. GreenThumb was just like a friend who always cared and helped. During a lunch break at school, some classmates began discussing the latest events that had happened. Maggie wanted to share GreenThumb with others, too. But her voice was soon drowned out by louder voices. The conversation soon shifted to music, with each person talking about their favorite song or artist. Maybe they didn’t hear her. Or they were just uninterested. She sank into silence, feeling unseen and unheard again. “I’ll show you what I can do with GreenThumb,” she said to herself with determination. Every day after school, Maggie couldn’t wait to take care of her garden. She spent countless hours in her garden tending to each plant. At first, she strictly followed GreenThumb’s instructions. As time went by, she found her own talent in gardening and added some creative ideas to make her garden unique. 注意： 1. 词数150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 To Maggie’s joy, her garden became beautiful and lively in a few months. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I saw the pictures online!
