B Jules Verne was born on 8 February 1828 in the French city of Nantes. From an early age, he had a fascination with exploration and discovery. When he was six, his teacher. Madame Sambin, told him stories about her husband, who was missing while travelling the world on a ship 30 years before. She told her class that he was like Robinson Crusoe, a fictional (虚构) castaway (坐船遇难者) who lived on a desert island. Verne would later write stories about similar characters. In1847, Verne was sent by his family to study law at a university in Paris, but he preferred to write novels, poems and plays. After graduating, he realized he wanted to write science adventure stories. This had never been done before, but Verne was sure that it would be a success. His first story, Five Weeks in a Balloon, was published in September 1862. His career lasted for more than 40 years, during which time he wrote more than 60 fascinating stories. To begin with, Verne wrote positive and optimistic books. Many of these were to be his most popular creations. Although some included fantastical elements, they were usually based on scientific facts, making them believable. These positive stories weren’t to last. As he got older, Verne became less confident in the idea that science and technology were always good for the planet. His books started to include more scientists who used technology for their own-sometimes evil-purposes. Verne died on 24 March 1905, but new books continued to be published until 1919. These stories were based on ideas Verne had written about while he was still alive, but featured new characters and plots created by his son, Michel. In the 20th century, his books were translated into more than 140 languages and several successful film versions came out. His creations have been recognized as an inspiration for many scientists and inventors. Many of the futuristic ideas from his most popular books have since come true. 4. What did the author intend to do in Paragraph 1? A. Describe Veme’s discovery. B. Introduce the characters of his stories. C. Present the adventure of Sambin’s husband. D. Show the teacher’s impact on Verne’s writing. 5. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Studying law. B. Graduating from university. C. Writing novels, poems and plays. D. Writing science adventure stories. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Verne? A. Productive (多产的). B. Honest. C. Optimistic. D. Friendly. 7 What can we infer about Verne’s later works? A. They covered scientific elements. B. They were unbelievable stories. C. They showed Verne’s doubt on science. D. They were partly written by Verme’s son C Harbin has witnessed a significant boom that has caused it to trend on social media this winter. By December 30, 2023, the city airport’s annual passenger throughput had gone beyond 3000 million. According to a new report, during the three-day New Year holiday, Harbin received 3.05 million tourists and made income of 5.91 billion yuan, both of which reached record highs. Harbin, also known as China’s “ice city”, is famous for its ice and snow culture. For over 60 years, the city has had a tradition of holding an annual ice lantern exhibition, presenting the creativity and skill of its artists. Recently, the Ice and Snow World, recognized by the Guinness World Records as the largest ice and snow park, is just one of many attractions in the city. It features amazing ice and snow sculptures, including replicas (复制品) of famous landmarks, animals, and cartoon characters. In addition, visitors can also enjoy different kinds of snow sports, such as ice skating, ice fishing, and sledding. Harbin spared no effort to show its sincerity and hospitality (热情好客) to tourists. At the Ice and Snow World, a lot of new experiences have been provided, such as hovercrafts and bicycles on ice, Ferris wheels, and hot air balloons. Tourists were welcomed with live performances at the airport, and dressing rooms were set up for them to change into warm clothing. Local residents supported by traveling during off-peak hours to reduce traffic and offering tourists free rides. For those unable to book hotels, the government opened the Provincial People’s Congress Service Center for low-cost stays. “For individual travelers, a city’s infrastructure (基础设施) and public services form the foundation of tourism competitiveness. It is only when tourists feel the warmth of the city and the goodwill of its citizens that they blend into the lives of a travel destination,” said Dai Bin, president of China Tourism Academy. 8. What are the figures in the first paragraph mainly about? A. The boom in Harbin’s tourism industry. B. The popularity of Harbin’s new attractions. C.

It is famous for its ice lantern exhibition. B. It is the first ice and snow park in the world. C. It offers various snow-centered activities for visitors. D. It holds snow sculpture competitions for skilled artists. 10. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. New sporting events in the Ice and Snow World. B. The measures to ensure tourists’ safety in Harbin.

A news report on tourism. C. An advertisement for scenic spots. D. A review of newly emerging cities. D Being bored is no fun, especially at work. However, a recent study from the Research School of Management at the Australian National University suggests that boredom may have an unexpected benefit. In a study, 52 participants (参与者) were given a boring task of separating red from green beans for 30 minutes, while another group of 49 participants was asked to create art projects with paper, beans, and glue. Then both groups were instructed to spend five minutes on a creative task. Surprisingly, the group that had performed the boring task produced a higher quantity and quality of creative ideas than the group that had taken part in the art project. “Boredom is not necessarily terrible based on my research,” says the study’s lead author, Guihyun Park. “People want to get out of a boring state, so they tend to find novelty, which can lead to unique thinking and bring out creativity.” Moreover, it’s also worth noting that studies have found that not everyone experiences the same level of creative benefits from boredom. Researchers have discovered in one experiment that participants who are open to new experiences and driven to achieve specific goals are more likely to see positive effects from being bored. Finally, Park admits that not every type of job allows a state of boredom, and it really can be detrimental to some important work. “I would say at safety jobs where you need to stay alert (警惕的) all the time, like police or safety guards, boredom will keep your mind wandering, which is really bad,” says Park. “Also, those jobs require less creativity but much attention to details instead; boredom won’t help much there.” But for designers and anyone in a creative field, boredom is not something to fear, but to embrace (欣然接受). J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, has shared how she would spend hours sitting on trains, letting her mind wander and coming up with new ideas for her stories. This boredom allowed her to tap into her creativity and imagination, leading to one of the most beloved book series ever. 12. What did the recent study find about boredom? A. It inspires creative ideas. B. It raises people’s patience. C. It improves work efficiency. D. It leads to negative feelings. 13. Which kind of people are more likely to benefit from boredom? A. People who are afraid of change. B. People who tend to focus on details. C. People who are willing to try new things. D. People who enjoy competing with others. 14. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Attractive. B. Harmful. C. Necessary. D. Challenging. 15. Why does the author mention J.K. Rowling in the last paragraph? A. To show the power of embracing boredom. B. To encourage people to stay bored in their daily life. C. To prove the importance of creativity and imagination. D. To explain the creation process of the Harry Potter series. 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。选项中有两项多余选项。 There are many customary differences between the West and the East, of which are some of China’s eating habits, which many Westerners would find quite hard to understand. ___16___ Not eating food dropped on a table I’ve seen the disgust (恶心) in people’s faces here when I’ve dropped food on the table only to then pick it up and eat it. ___17___ Our thought is, “A tabletop has had nothing but food on it.

Eartha’s Grandma had been practising yoga for more than 50 years, who could twist, bend and curl her body with ease. She could even stand on her hands and pull her body into different poses. “Eartha, your name means ‘patience’.You need patience for yoga,” said her Grandma. Like many schools in the country,Eartha’ s school held an annual yoga competition. Eartha wanted to make her Grandma proud. But she could hardly stand on one leg. Grandma returned to the kitchen.Eartha kept practicing hard. She stood straight, her arms at her sides. She moved her hands and knees, arching her back. All of these poses were easy,while the competition was certain to be harder. So she tried more challenging poses, lying on her stomach and pushing up on her hands. Her arms soon got tired and she collapsed to the floor. Eartha wandered into the kitchen. “Finished already?” asked Grandma. “It’s hard,” Eartha said. “How did you get to be so strong?” Grandma smiled. “Patience.” The next morning, Eartha felt ached and sore all over the body. Her legs hurt so badly from the poses she practiced that she even wanted to quit. However, her grandmother’s words echoed in her mind, and she held the pose for a longer time. Each day Eartha would practice anew pose, before going over the poses she had practiced the previous few days.With the date of the competition approaching, she started to feel stronger and more flexible. Her arms and legs stopped trembling. The day of the yoga competition arrived as expected. In the gym, Eartha lay on her back with her knees bent and placed her hands on the floor behind her. Everything went smoothly. Just then,so eager was she to win Grandma’s pride that her poses displayed a mix of impatience, and rigidness. Eartha fell on the mat, which cost her edge over other competitors. A bell rang, ending the first half of the competition. 1.续写词数应为150左右: 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Thinking she ruined all because of impatience, Eartha looked at the audience for Grandma. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Calm and confident, Eartha stepped on the stage for the second half of the competition. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 楚州中学、新马中学2023-2024学年第二学期第二次联考 高一英语试卷 考试时间：120分钟 总分：150分 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 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.

She told her class that he was like Robinson Crusoe, a fictional (虚构的) castaway (坐船遇难者) who lived on a desert island. Verne would later write stories about similar characters. In1847, Verne was sent by his family to study law at a university in Paris, but he preferred to write novels, poems and plays. After graduating, he realized he wanted to write science adventure stories. This had never been done before, but Verne was sure that it would be a success. His first story, Five Weeks in a Balloon, was published in September 1862. His career lasted for more than 40 years, during which time he wrote more than 60 fascinating stories. To begin with, Verne wrote positive and optimistic books. Many of these were to be his most popular creations. Although some included fantastical elements, they were usually based on scientific facts, making them believable. These positive stories weren’t to last. As he got older, Verne became less confident in the idea that science and technology were always good for the planet. His books started to include more scientists who used technology for their own-sometimes evil-purposes. Verne died on 24 March 1905, but new books continued to be published until 1919. These stories were based on ideas Verne had written about while he was still alive, but featured new characters and plots created by his son, Michel. In the 20th century, his books were translated into more than 140 languages and several successful film versions came out. His creations have been recognized as an inspiration for many scientists and inventors. Many of the futuristic ideas from his most popular books have since come true. 4. What did the author intend to do in Paragraph 1? A. Describe Veme’s discovery. B. Introduce the characters of his stories. C. Present the adventure of Sambin’s husband. D. Show the teacher’s impact on Verne’s writing. 5. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Studying law. B. Graduating from university. C. Writing novels, poems and plays. D. Writing science adventure stories. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Verne? A. Productive (多产的). B. Honest. C. Optimistic. D. Friendly. 7. What can we infer about Verne’s later works? A. They covered scientific elements. B. They were unbelievable stories. C. They showed Verne’s doubt on science. D. They were partly written by Verme’s son 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了作家儒勒凡尔纳及其作品和成就。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段讲到“When he was six, his teacher. Madame Sambin, told him stories about her husband, who was missing while travelling the world on a ship 30 years before. She told her class that he was like Robinson Crusoe, a fictional (虚构的) castaway (坐船遇难者) who lived on a desert island. Verne would later write stories about similar characters.(当他六岁的时候，他的老师。桑宾夫人给他讲了她丈夫的故事，她丈夫30年前乘船环游世界时失踪了。她告诉她的学生，他就像鲁滨逊·克鲁索，一个虚构的住在一个荒岛上的坐船遇难者。凡尔纳后来也写过类似人物的故事。)”可知，老师给全班同学讲述了自己丈夫失踪的事情，形容丈夫就像鲁滨逊·克鲁索一样，这件事对凡尔纳产生了影响，他后来的作品中也会写类似人物的故事；由此可推断出，在文章第一段中作者想要展示这位老师对凡尔纳写作的影响。故选D项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。文章第二段划线单词前句“After graduating, he realized he wanted to write science adventure stories.

(他的职业持续了40多年，这期间他写了60多部激动人心的故事)”可知，凡尔纳作品多，是多产作家，故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。文章第三段讲到“As he got older, Verne became less confident in the idea that science and technology were always good for the planet. His books started to include more scientists who used technology for their own-sometimes evil-purposes. (随着年龄的增长，凡尔纳对科学技术总是对地球有益的想法越来越不自信。他的书开始包括更多的科学家，他们将技术用于自己有时邪恶的目的。)”可知，凡尔纳后期的作品表现出他对科学的怀疑。故选C项。 C Harbin has witnessed a significant boom that has caused it to trend on social media this winter.

However, a recent study from the Research School of Management at the Australian National University suggests that boredom may have an unexpected benefit. In a study, 52 participants (参与者) were given a boring task of separating red from green beans for 30 minutes, while another group of 49 participants was asked to create art projects with paper, beans, and glue. Then both groups were instructed to spend five minutes on a creative task. Surprisingly, the group that had performed the boring task produced a higher quantity and quality of creative ideas than the group that had taken part in the art project. “Boredom is not necessarily terrible based on my research,” says the study’s lead author, Guihyun Park. “People want to get out of a boring state, so they tend to find novelty, which can lead to unique thinking and bring out creativity.” Moreover, it’s also worth noting that studies have found that not everyone experiences the same level of creative benefits from boredom. Researchers have discovered in one experiment that participants who are open to new experiences and driven to achieve specific goals are more likely to see positive effects from being bored. Finally, Park admits that not every type of job allows a state of boredom, and it really can be detrimental to some important work. “I would say at safety jobs where you need to stay alert (警惕的) all the time, like police or safety guards, boredom will keep your mind wandering, which is really bad,” says Park. “Also, those jobs require less creativity but much attention to details instead; boredom won’t help much there.” But for designers and anyone in a creative field, boredom is not something to fear, but to embrace (欣然接受). J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, has shared how she would spend hours sitting on trains, letting her mind wander and coming up with new ideas for her stories. This boredom allowed her to tap into her creativity and imagination, leading to one of the most beloved book series ever. 12. What did the recent study find about boredom? A. It inspires creative ideas. B. It raises people’s patience. C. It improves work efficiency. D. It leads to negative feelings. 13. Which kind of people are more likely to benefit from boredom? A. People who are afraid of change. B. People who tend to focus on details. C. People who are willing to try new things. D. People who enjoy competing with others. 14. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Attractive. B. Harmful. C. Necessary. D. Challenging. 15. Why does the author mention J.K. Rowling in the last paragraph? A. To show the power of embracing boredom. B. To encourage people to stay bored in their daily life. C. To prove the importance of creativity and imagination. D. To explain the creation process of the Harry Potter series. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了无聊的精神状态可能会引发意向不到的创造力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However, a recent study from the Research School of Management at the Australian National University suggests that boredom may have an unexpected benefit.(然而，澳大利亚国立大学管理研究学院最近的一项研究表明，无聊可能会带来意想不到的好处。)”和第二段中的“Surprisingly, the group that had performed the boring task produced a higher quantity and quality of creative ideas than the group that had taken part in the art project.(令人惊讶的是，完成这项无聊任务的小组比参加艺术项目的小组产生了更高数量和质量的创意。)”可知，这项研究发现无聊能够激发创意。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Researchers have discovered in one experiment that participants who are open to new experiences and driven to achieve specific goals are more likely to see positive effects from being bored.(研究人员在一项实验中发现，对新体验持开放态度并致力于实现特定目标的参与者更有可能从无聊中看到积极的影响。)”可知，对新体验持开放态度并致力于实现特定目标的参与者更有可能从无聊中受益。故选C。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的“not every type of job allows a state of boredom”可知，前面说不是所有类型的工作都允许无聊，由此可知，这里“it really can be detrimental to some important work”指无聊会对一些重要工作产生不好的影响，再根据下文中的“I would say at safety jobs where you need to stay alert (警惕的) all the time, like police or safety guards, boredom will keep your mind wandering, which is really bad(我想说，在需要时刻保持警惕的安全工作中，比如警察或保安，无聊会让你走神，这真的很糟糕)”可知，这里表示的是无聊会对一些重要工作造成危害。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“But for designers and anyone in a creative field, boredom is not something to fear, but to embrace (欣然接受).(但对于设计师和创意领域的任何人来说，无聊不是一件值得害怕的事情，而是一件值得拥抱的事情。)”可知，作者认为对于从事创造性活动的人来说，无聊值得接受，接着“J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, has shared how she would spend hours sitting on trains, letting her mind wander and coming up with new ideas for her stories. This boredom allowed her to tap into her creativity and imagination, leading to one of the most beloved book series ever.(《哈利·波特》系列的作者J.K.罗琳分享了她如何在火车上坐上几个小时，让自己的思绪漫游，并为自己的故事想出新的想法。这种无聊让她能够发挥自己的创造力和想象力，从而成为有史以来最受欢迎的系列丛书之一。)”讲述了J.K.罗琳通过无聊来发挥自己的创造力和想象力，创作出了《哈利·波特》系列，由此可推测出，作者举J.K.罗琳的例子是为了表示接受无聊会产生的影响。故选A。 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。选项中有两项多余选项。 There are many customary differences between the West and the East, of which are some of China’s eating habits, which many Westerners would find quite hard to understand. ___16___ Not eating food dropped on a table I’ve seen the disgust (恶心) in people’s faces here when I’ve dropped food on the table only to then pick it up and eat it. ___17___ Our thought is, “A tabletop has had nothing but food on it.

Dust, germs, etc. are far more likely to get into the rice. I’ve been in several restaurants and nearly everyone I’ve seen puts their rice cookers on the floor.

I’m not sure about this Western tradition of eating dessert last. In China, it doesn’t matter. ___19___ Westerners would find that very strange. Drinking hot water with your meal Often, it has been my experience that many. Chinese will not have a drink (water, tea, etc. ) with a meal.

Dust, germs, etc. are far more likely to get into the rice.I’ve been in several restaurants and nearly everyone I’ve seen puts their rice cookers on the floor. (西方人不希望他们的食物靠近地板。灰尘、细菌等更有可能进入大米。我去过几家餐馆，我见过的几乎每个人都把电饭煲放在地板上)”说明本段主要介绍了西方人不想让食物靠近地板，而中国人是不在意的。所以A项“把电饭煲放在地板上。”适合作本段的标题。故选A。 【19题详解】 上文“Every Western child’s dream would be to live in China for the purpose that he/she could eat the r dessert before they eat their main meal. I’m not sure about this Western tradition of eating dessert last. In China, it doesn’t matter. (每个西方孩子的梦想都是住在中国，这样他/她就可以在吃主菜之前吃甜点。我不确定西方最后吃甜点的传统。在中国，这并不重要)”说明在中国，人们可以在主菜之前吃甜点，而在西方最后吃甜点的传统不确定。空处承接上文，E项中的“have ice cream before your meal”和标题“Eating dessert before a meal”相呼应，说明在中国，你可以在饭前吃冰淇淋。所以E项“你可以在饭前吃冰淇淋”符合语境。故选E。 20题详解】 标题“Drinking hot water with your meal(吃饭时喝热水)”以及“Chinese will not have a drink (water, tea, etc. ) with a meal. But, when they do, it is usually hot water.(中国人吃饭时不会喝（水、茶等）。但是，当他们这样做时，通常是热水)”说明中国人喜欢喝热水。空处承接上文，解释为什么中国人喜欢喝热水。F项中的“hot water is better for digestion than cold water.”和上文“it is usually hot water”相呼应，说明F项“我经常听说热水比冷水更有利于消化。”符合语境。故选F。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，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。 Else was our guest.

Eartha’s Grandma had been practising yoga for more than 50 years, who could twist, bend and curl her body with ease. She could even stand on her hands and pull her body into different poses. “Eartha, your name means ‘patience’.You need patience for yoga,” said her Grandma. Like many schools in the country,Eartha’ s school held an annual yoga competition. Eartha wanted to make her Grandma proud. But she could hardly stand on one leg. Grandma returned to the kitchen.Eartha kept practicing hard. She stood straight, her arms at her sides. She moved her hands and knees, arching her back. All of these poses were easy,while the competition was certain to be harder. So she tried more challenging poses, lying on her stomach and pushing up on her hands. Her arms soon got tired and she collapsed to the floor. Eartha wandered into the kitchen. “Finished already?” asked Grandma. “It’s hard,” Eartha said. “How did you get to be so strong?” Grandma smiled. “Patience.” The next morning, Eartha felt ached and sore all over the body. Her legs hurt so badly from the poses she practiced that she even wanted to quit. However, her grandmother’s words echoed in her mind, and she held the pose for a longer time. Each day Eartha would practice anew pose, before going over the poses she had practiced the previous few days.With the date of the competition approaching, she started to feel stronger and more flexible. Her arms and legs stopped trembling. The day of the yoga competition arrived as expected. In the gym, Eartha lay on her back with her knees bent and placed her hands on the floor behind her. Everything went smoothly. Just then,so eager was she to win Grandma’s pride that her poses displayed a mix of impatience, and rigidness. Eartha fell on the mat, which cost her edge over other competitors. A bell rang, ending the first half of the competition. 1.续写词数应为150左右: 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Thinking she ruined all because of impatience, Eartha looked at the audience for Grandma. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Calm and confident, Eartha stepped on the stage for the second half of the competition. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Thinking she ruined all because of impatience, Eartha looked at the audience for Grandma. Grandma settled at the front seat, kindly smiling and waving to her. Head hanging, Eartha shuffled to Grandma with heavy footsteps.“I’m proud of you!” Grandma whispered softly. Astonished and unexpected, Eartha stared at Grandma with a bit skeptical expression. Although relieved of frustration temporarily, she was increasingly concerned about the next half. Sensing her worries, Grandma asked if she still remembered the meaning of her name. Eartha nodded, reflecting on her hard practices. Calm and confident, Eartha stepped on the stage for the second half of the competition. Completely relaxed, Eartha immersed herself in poses, letting go of anything that might distract her. So full of patience and balance was every pose that flexibility was perfectly demonstrated, which made her standout among other competitors. When she finished, the whole gym burst into thunderous applause and grandma beamed at her with unprecedented pride. Smiling back, Eartha ultimately understood the significance of patience and calmness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了艾萨所在的学校每年都会举办瑜伽比赛。艾萨想让她的奶奶感到骄傲于是艾莎和奶奶学练习瑜伽，但是动作对于她来说太难坚持，奶奶对她的忠告是要耐心的，最后艾萨参加比赛的日子到来，上半场表现不佳的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“艾萨认为她因为不耐烦而毁了一切，她看着观众寻找奶奶”可知，第一段可描写艾萨上半场表现不佳，奶奶的表现和鼓励。 ②由第二段首句内容“平静而自信的艾萨踏上了下半场比赛的舞台”可知，第二段可描写艾萨在奶奶的鼓励下顺利完成瑜伽比赛的过程。 2.续写线索： 奶奶鼓励——自信——顺利比赛——人们鼓掌——艾萨感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走向：shuffle to /walk to/approach ②爆发：burst into /burst out/outburst 情绪类 ①惊讶的：astonished/surprised /amazed ②担忧的：concerned/worried/anxious 【点睛】[高分句型1] Sensing her worries, Grandma asked if she still remembered the meaning of her name.(运用了if引导的宾语从句和现在分词作状语) [高分句型2] So full of patience and balance was every pose that flexibility was perfectly demonstrated, which made her standout among other competitors.
