I tried to conquer my fear of speaking in public on numerous occasions throughout my life. During college and at my first few jobs, I would get ridiculously nervous when I had to give a presentation or lead a meeting. Public speaking had been my nemesis for as long as I could remember. Then in my mid-thirties, I decided to join the public speaking group Toastmasters. At every meeting, we were rated and forced to compete with other speakers for an award. You would think that I would walk away from these experiences as a polished speaker, but nothing seemed to work. It wasn’t until recently when science and scientific institutions were being attacked for unfair reasons during the pandemic that I decided I must speak out. Science has made this country a place where dreams come true — this is why we all need to protect science. In addition, as a science writer, I try to get readers to understand how science is related to their daily lives. So, I ended up on that frightening stage on that sunny Saturday in April — Earth Day. Despite the body shakes and fear, I persevered. That day, I looked out into the crowd of like-minded science supporters and I felt comfort. Reaching that milestone goal of getting through a speech truly changed me. At almost forty, I learned that passion can set off a flame in my heart to do things I never dreamed possible. The darkness that led to my speech is sure to lead to new opportunities and adventures. 4. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “nemesis” in Paragraph 1? A. Strength. B. Confusion C. Preference. D. Struggles. 5. What happened to the author when leaving Toastmasters? A. Things got worse for him. B. Nervousness remained with him. C. He became a polished writer. D. He began to feel more competitive. 6. Why did the author want to speak out on Earth Day? A. Because he wanted to rise up to defend his job. B. Because it was a good chance to understand science. C. Because it was a project organized by Toastmasters. D. Because he couldn’t have people attacking science. 7. What lesson did the author draw from his successful speech? A. Frustration can be a stepping stone to success. B. Love motivates us to achieve the unachievable. C. Science can lead us to make wonderful changes. D. Any difficulty can be overcome with great effort. C A case highlights a little-known fact about a poor diet: aside from being tied to obesity, heart disease and cancer, they can also permanently damage the nervous system, particularly vision, according to a report published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine. A teen who ate nothing but fries, chips and other junk food for years slowly went blind. The teen’s problems began at age 14, when he went to the doctor’s office complaining of tiredness. The teen was reportedly a picky eater, and blood tests showed he had low levels of vitamin B12. He was treated with injections of vitamin B12 along with advice on how to improve his diet. However, by age 15, he developed hearing loss and vision problems, but doctors couldn’t seem to find the cause—results from an MRI and eye exam were normal. Over the next two years, the teen’s vision got progressively worse. When the boy was 17, an eye test showed that his vision was 20/200 in both eyes, the threshold (起始点) for being “legally blind” in the United States. Further tests showed the teen had developed damage to the optic nerve (视神经). Furthermore, the teen still had low levels of vitamin B12, along with low levels of selenium (硒) and vitamin D. These deficiencies caused doctors to ask the teen about the foods he ate. “The patient admitted that, since elementary school, the only things he ate had been fries, chips, white bread, processed ham slices and sausage,” the authors from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom wrote in the report. This kind of vision loss is potentially reversible (可逆的) if caught early. However, by the time the teen was diagnosed, his vision loss was permanent. “What’s more, wearing glasses would not help the teen’s vision, because damage to the optic nerve cannot be corrected with lenses,” said the study lead author Dr. Denize Atan. 8. Why did the teen’s condition get worse? A. His illness couldn’t be treated. B. He kept having a poor diet. C. Vitamin B12 didn’t work on him. D Tiredness caused damage to his nerves. 9. Which of the following may not be the bad effect caused by poor diet? A. Obesity. B. Cancer. C. Poor eyesight. D. Blood disease. 10. What can be inferred about the teen? A. His optic nerve will be recovered. B. His problems will be solved well. C. He is advised to take in more nutrition. D. His vision can’t be improved by wearing glasses. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. A poor diet can cause poor vision. B. Vitamin B12 is important to vision. C. Unhealthy food causes many diseases. D. Doctors’ advice is helpful to people. D Starch (淀粉) is the main component of flour, rice and corn among others, while carbon dioxide makes up the vast majority of greenhouse gases. One day, humans may be able to “eat” carbon dioxide, and global warming could be “eaten away” by carbon lovers. Although it sounds wild, the day is coming. Chinese scientists have created starch using carbon dioxide, hydrogen and electricity, according to a study published in Science in September, 2021. “Plants create starch through photosynthesis (光合作用), which is a complex and inefficient process,” Ma Yanhe, director of the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, told China Daily. He added that it would take a plant about 60 steps to turn carbon dioxide, water and sunlight into starch. “Our breakthrough shows that making starch is achievable in a lab. This method makes it possible to produce food in factories and there are many industries that can benefit from this technology,” Ma told China Daily. The team has been working on the process for 6 years. “The first step of the method is to convent carbon dioxide and hydrogen into methanol (甲醇), which is a molecule (分子) that contains a single carbon atom,” Cai Tao, one of the first authors of the study, told. China Daily, Scientists then piece these single-carbon molecules into bigger and more complex molecules. With the help of supercomputing, Chinese scientists have simplified the natural starch-making process from about 60 steps to 11. “The new process has made it possible to turn starch production from traditional agricultural production to industrial production. And it may be possible to satisfy our needs without farming in the future. This will not only help save water, fertilizer and land but also help recycle carbon dioxide to deal with climate change, a research fellow of the Chinese Academy of Sciences told the Global Times. The study can also benefit space exploration in the future. The starch may provide a secure food source for astronauts as they travel long distances in space by simply turning the carbon dioxide they breathe out into food. 12. What does Ma Yanhe think of the new method of creating starch? A. It’s extremely complex and inefficient. B. It’s achievable through photosynthesis. C. It’s more efficient than the natural method. D. It’s a way of dealing with global warming. 13. What’s the main idea of paragraph 6? A. The method of producing starch traditionally. B. The differences between producing starch traditionally and industrially. C. The benefits of producing starch industrially. D. The method of recycling carbon dioxide. 14. What can be learned about the breakthrough? A. It can change the way of starch production. B. It can help improve people’s health. C. It can provide astronauts with nutritious food. D. It can save farmers from traditional agriculture. 15. What can be the best title of this passage? A. Hungry for starch B. Smart with starch C. Secure about food supply D. Beneficial to food diversity 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。 Live-stream marketing: A rural rags-to-riches story? For many years, quality agricultural products were unable to sell in faraway provinces. ____16____ It prevented them from accessing a wider, urban client. In most cases, because farmers failed to directly reach consumers, their heavy physical labor resulted in very little income. As a result of quick urbanization, the problem of aging is more pronounced in the countryside. To support agriculture and rural welfare, it’s important to find more people willing to devote themselves to the field. In this regard, live-stream marketing may appeal to young migrant workers and convince them to return home in the countryside. ____17____ In Yunnan Province, southwest China, live-stream marketing is currently the most popular way of pushing local products to consumers across the country. ____18____ It is turning the smart phone into a new farming tool by fashioning new shopping centers. Live-streaming has greatly boosted the province’s produce sales in the past two years.

Live-stream marketing is ready to play a big role in raising rural incomes in relatively backward provinces like Yunnan. ____19____. E-commerce live-streaming is doing pretty well nowadays, but farm produce only accounts for a small share, mainly due to the lack of experienced hosts and infrastructure in rural areas. ____20____ How to grow live stream marketing for farm products? Short videos or live-streams, the key is to meet consumers’ demand. High-quality products alone aren’t enough; they must consider buyers’ preferences as well. A. There arises a question. B. However, government policies and guidance should follow up. C. The expansion of 5G technology is a vital contribution. D. The biggest barrier is lack of efficient marketing channels. E. China has a tradition of intensive cultivation and a huge rural population. F. Once back they can introduce more digitally advanced approaches to agricultural management. G. But we should establish a complete supply chain based on strict standards to maintain its continuous development. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空(共15小题：每题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A，B，C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Passion, like life, is about the journey, not the destination.

Sue’s skis were sticking out behind her. Mark, another skier, tripped over Sue’s skis. Before Sue could apologize, Mike shouted,“Your skis are in the way. You’ve got big smelly feet!” In view of his attitude, Sue ignored him. Mark lost face and was more angry. Then Sue skied down the mountain. As a good skier, she didn’t fall over. Mark, along with his good friend David, was watching her with envy and anger. They were also good skiers but they didn’t know Sue very well. “She’s good,” David said. “But we’re better,” Mark responded with dissatisfaction. The young people skied all day. They enjoyed themselves and forgot everything. On Wednesday morning, the young people were waiting for the ski lift (滑雪电缆车) when their teacher announced a ski race. The race would be arranged for the last day of the holiday on a long and difficult ten-kilometer piste (滑雪道). Everybody wanted to win! They went up the mountain, put on their skis and skied down the piste, practicing for the race. Sue skied fast, so did Mark and David. Obviously, these three became powerful opponents. It was Saturday and the race was going to be held in the afternoon. Sue was hungry and left her skis at the side of a café. She sat down and ordered lunch. Later, David and Mark came in. They also headed to the side to put their skis there. Mark noticed Sue’s skis and aimed a kick angrily at them. Then he found a screw (螺丝) on Sue’s ski was loose, unsure whether it was caused by the force or it was like that originally. “Sue’s skis won’t work. We’re sure to win,” Mark said and pointed.

In addition, as a science writer, I try to get readers to understand how science is related to their daily lives. So, I ended up on that frightening stage on that sunny Saturday in April — Earth Day. Despite the body shakes and fear, I persevered. That day, I looked out into the crowd of like-minded science supporters and I felt comfort. Reaching that milestone goal of getting through a speech truly changed me. At almost forty, I learned that passion can set off a flame in my heart to do things I never dreamed possible. The darkness that led to my speech is sure to lead to new opportunities and adventures. 4. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “nemesis” in Paragraph 1? A. Strength. B. Confusion C. Preference. D. Struggles. 5. What happened to the author when leaving Toastmasters? A. Things got worse for him. B. Nervousness remained with him. C. He became a polished writer. D. He began to feel more competitive. 6. Why did the author want to speak out on Earth Day? A. Because he wanted to rise up to defend his job. B. Because it was a good chance to understand science. C. Because it was a project organized by Toastmasters. D. Because he couldn’t have people attacking science. 7. What lesson did the author draw from his successful speech? A.

Any difficulty can be overcome with great effort. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者长期害怕公开演讲，尽管多次尝试克服，包括加入Toastmasters组织，但效果不佳。疫情期间，科学受攻击，作者决定发声，最终克服恐惧完成演讲，认识到激情可激发潜能。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“During college and at my first few jobs, I would get ridiculously nervous when I had to give a presentation or lead a meeting.(在大学期间和我的前几份工作中，当我不得不做演讲或主持会议时，我会变得非常紧张)”可知，作者一进行公开演讲或讲话就会紧张。由此推知，“Public speaking had been my nemesis for as long as I could remember.(从我记事起，演讲就是我的nemesis)”中nemesis是指“困难的事情”，与D项struggles(难事)意思相近。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Then in my mid-thirties, I decided to join the public speaking group Toastmasters. At every meeting, we were rated and forced to compete with other speakers for an award. You would think that I would walk away from these experiences as a polished speaker, but nothing seemed to work.(在我35岁左右的时候，我决定加入公共演讲团体Toastmasters。每次会议上，我们都会被打分，并被迫与其他演讲者竞争奖项。你可能会认为，经历了这些之后，我会成为一个出色的演讲者，但似乎没什么用)”可知，虽然作者参加了公共演讲团体Toastmasters，但似乎没什么用，他仍然紧张不安。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“It wasn’t until recently, when science and scientific institutions were being attacked for unfair reasons during the pandemic, that I decided I must speak out.(直到最近，在疫情期间，科学和科研机构受到不公平的攻击，我才决定我必须发声)”和“So, I ended up on that frightening stage on that sunny Saturday in April — Earth Day.(于是，在4月那个阳光明媚的星期六——地球日，我走上了那个可怕的舞台)”可知，作者选择在地球日发声是因为他不允许人们攻击科学。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“At almost forty, I learned that passion can set off a flame in my heart to do things I never dreamed possible. The darkness that led to my speech is sure to lead to new opportunities and adventures.(将近四十岁时，我才明白，激情可以在我心中点燃火焰，让我去做那些我从未想过可能的事情。导致我发表演讲的困境，也一定会带来新的机遇和冒险)”可推知，作者感悟到激情能够点燃内心的火焰，热爱能激励我们去实现无法实现的目标。故选B项。 C A case highlights a little-known fact about a poor diet: aside from being tied to obesity, heart disease and cancer, they can also permanently damage the nervous system, particularly vision, according to a report published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine. A teen who ate nothing but fries, chips and other junk food for years slowly went blind. The teen’s problems began at age 14, when he went to the doctor’s office complaining of tiredness. The teen was reportedly a picky eater, and blood tests showed he had low levels of vitamin B12. He was treated with injections of vitamin B12 along with advice on how to improve his diet. However, by age 15, he developed hearing loss and vision problems, but doctors couldn’t seem to find the cause—results from an MRI and eye exam were normal. Over the next two years, the teen’s vision got progressively worse. When the boy was 17, an eye test showed that his vision was 20/200 in both eyes, the threshold (起始点) for being “legally blind” in the United States. Further tests showed the teen had developed damage to the optic nerve (视神经). Furthermore, the teen still had low levels of vitamin B12, along with low levels of selenium (硒) and vitamin D. These deficiencies caused doctors to ask the teen about the foods he ate. “The patient admitted that, since elementary school, the only things he ate had been fries, chips, white bread, processed ham slices and sausage,” the authors from the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom wrote in the report. This kind of vision loss is potentially reversible (可逆的) if caught early. However, by the time the teen was diagnosed, his vision loss was permanent. “What’s more, wearing glasses would not help the teen’s vision, because damage to the optic nerve cannot be corrected with lenses,” said the study lead author Dr. Denize Atan. 8. Why did the teen’s condition get worse? A. His illness couldn’t be treated. B. He kept having a poor diet. C. Vitamin B12 didn’t work on him. D. Tiredness caused damage to his nerves. 9. Which of the following may not be the bad effect caused by poor diet? A. Obesity. B. Cancer. C. Poor eyesight. D. Blood disease. 10. What can be inferred about the teen? A. His optic nerve will be recovered. B. His problems will be solved well. C. He is advised to take in more nutrition. D. His vision can’t be improved by wearing glasses. 11. What does the text mainly talk about? A. A poor diet can cause poor vision. B. Vitamin B12 is important to vision. C. Unhealthy food causes many diseases. D. Doctors’ advice is helpful to people. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章通过一个案例强调了不良饮食习惯可能对神经系统，尤其是视力造成的永久性损害。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“A teen who ate nothing but fries, chips and other junk food for years slowly went blind. (一个多年来只吃薯条、薯片和其他垃圾食品的青少年逐渐失明了。)”以及第三段“Over the next two years, the teen’s vision got progressively worse. (在接下来的两年里，这个青少年的视力逐渐恶化。)”，说明他的病情恶化是因为他继续维持不良的饮食习惯。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“a poor diet: aside from being tied to obesity, heart disease and cancer, they can also permanently damage the nervous system, particularly vision (不良的饮食习惯：除了与肥胖、心脏病和癌症有关外，它们还可能永久性地损害神经系统，特别是视力)”可知，选项D中的Blood disease (血液病) 在文中并未提及为不良饮食习惯的直接后果。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“What’s more, wearing glasses would not help the teen’s vision, because damage to the optic nerve cannot be corrected with lenses (此外，戴眼镜也无法帮助这位青少年改善视力，因为视神经的损伤无法通过镜片来矫正。)”可知，这位青少年的视力损失是永久性的，并且戴眼镜也不会帮助这个青少年的视力。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“A case highlights a little-known fact about a poor diet: aside from being tied to obesity, heart disease and cancer, they can also permanently damage the nervous system, particularly vision, according to a report published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine. (一个案例突显了一个关于不良饮食鲜为人知的事实：根据发表在《内科学年鉴》杂志上的一篇报告，不良饮食不仅与肥胖、心脏病和癌症有关，还可能永久性地损害神经系统，特别是视力。)”以及全文可知，文章讨论了不良饮食习惯可能导致视力问题。故选A项。 D Starch (淀粉) is the main component of flour, rice and corn among others, while carbon dioxide makes up the vast majority of greenhouse gases. One day, humans may be able to “eat” carbon dioxide, and global warming could be “eaten away” by carbon lovers. Although it sounds wild, the day is coming. Chinese scientists have created starch using carbon dioxide, hydrogen and electricity, according to a study published in Science in September, 2021. “Plants create starch through photosynthesis (光合作用), which is a complex and inefficient process,” Ma Yanhe, director of the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, told China Daily. He added that it would take a plant about 60 steps to turn carbon dioxide, water and sunlight into starch. “Our breakthrough shows that making starch is achievable in a lab. This method makes it possible to produce food in factories and there are many industries that can benefit from this technology,” Ma told China Daily. The team has been working on the process for 6 years. “The first step of the method is to convent carbon dioxide and hydrogen into methanol (甲醇), which is a molecule (分子) that contains a single carbon atom,” Cai Tao, one of the first authors of the study, told. China Daily, Scientists then piece these single-carbon molecules into bigger and more complex molecules. With the help of supercomputing, Chinese scientists have simplified the natural starch-making process from about 60 steps to 11. “The new process has made it possible to turn starch production from traditional agricultural production to industrial production. And it may be possible to satisfy our needs without farming in the future. This will not only help save water, fertilizer and land but also help recycle carbon dioxide to deal with climate change, a research fellow of the Chinese Academy of Sciences told the Global Times. The study can also benefit space exploration in the future. The starch may provide a secure food source for astronauts as they travel long distances in space by simply turning the carbon dioxide they breathe out into food. 12. What does Ma Yanhe think of the new method of creating starch? A. It’s extremely complex and inefficient. B. It’s achievable through photosynthesis. C. It’s more efficient than the natural method. D. It’s a way of dealing with global warming. 13. What’s the main idea of paragraph 6? A. The method of producing starch traditionally. B. The differences between producing starch traditionally and industrially. C. The benefits of producing starch industrially. D. The method of recycling carbon dioxide. 14. What can be learned about the breakthrough? A. It can change the way of starch production. B. It can help improve people’s health. C. It can provide astronauts with nutritious food. D. It can save farmers from traditional agriculture. 15. What can be the best title of this passage? A. Hungry for starch B. Smart with starch C. Secure about food supply D. Beneficial to food diversity 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了中国科学家在淀粉制造领域的突破性进展，即利用二氧化碳、氢气和电力人工合成淀粉，这一技术有望改变传统的淀粉生产方式，并对应对全球变暖和太空探索等领域产生深远影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“With the help of supercomputing, Chinese scientists have simplified the natural starch-making process from about 60 steps to 11.

For many years, quality agricultural products were unable to sell in faraway provinces. ____16____ It prevented them from accessing a wider, urban client. In most cases, because farmers failed to directly reach consumers, their heavy physical labor resulted in very little income. As a result of quick urbanization, the problem of aging is more pronounced in the countryside. To support agriculture and rural welfare, it’s important to find more people willing to devote themselves to the field. In this regard, live-stream marketing may appeal to young migrant workers and convince them to return home in the countryside. ____17____ In Yunnan Province, southwest China, live-stream marketing is currently the most popular way of pushing local products to consumers across the country. ____18____ It is turning the smart phone into a new farming tool by fashioning new shopping centers.

Sue’s skis were sticking out behind her. Mark, another skier, tripped over Sue’s skis. Before Sue could apologize, Mike shouted,“Your skis are in the way. You’ve got big smelly feet!” In view of his attitude, Sue ignored him. Mark lost face and was more angry. Then Sue skied down the mountain. As a good skier, she didn’t fall over. Mark, along with his good friend David, was watching her with envy and anger. They were also good skiers but they didn’t know Sue very well. “She’s good,” David said. “But we’re better,” Mark responded with dissatisfaction. The young people skied all day. They enjoyed themselves and forgot everything. On Wednesday morning, the young people were waiting for the ski lift (滑雪电缆车) when their teacher announced a ski race. The race would be arranged for the last day of the holiday on a long and difficult ten-kilometer piste (滑雪道). Everybody wanted to win! They went up the mountain, put on their skis and skied down the piste, practicing for the race. Sue skied fast, so did Mark and David. Obviously, these three became powerful opponents. It was Saturday and the race was going to be held in the afternoon. Sue was hungry and left her skis at the side of a café. She sat down and ordered lunch. Later, David and Mark came in. They also headed to the side to put their skis there. Mark noticed Sue’s skis and aimed a kick angrily at them. Then he found a screw (螺丝) on Sue’s ski was loose, unsure whether it was caused by the force or it was like that originally. “Sue’s skis won’t work. We’re sure to win,” Mark said and pointed. They smiled knowingly at each other. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Finally came the time of the race and everyone was excited. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2: Maybe feeling guilty or nervous, Mark fell down when Sue approached him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Finally came the time of the race and everyone was excited. The atmosphere was electric as the competitors lined up at the starting line, their hearts pounding with anticipation. Sue, despite the incident with her skis, was calm and focused. She had checked them thoroughly and found the loose screw, but instead of letting it dampen her spirits, she used it as motivation to prove her skills. The race began with a signal, and the skiers surged forward, carving through the snow with precision and speed. Sue, Mark, and David were at the forefront, their rivalry driving them to push their limits. The crowd roared with each turn, the cheers echoing across the mountain as the racers navigated the challenging course. Maybe feeling guilty or nervous, Mark fell down when Sue approached him. His face flushed with a mix of embarrassment and frustration as he watched Sue glide past him effortlessly. It was a moment of reckoning for Mark; his actions had backfired, and now he was witnessing the true talent of his competitor. Sue’s focus never wavered, and her determination shone through as she continued to lead the race. The other skiers, inspired by her resilience, gave chase, but it was clear that Sue was in a league of her own. As the race neared its end, it was evident that the victory was hers to claim, and the chalet community would remember this day as the one when Sue triumphed not just in the race, but also in the spirit of sportsmanship and integrity. 【解析】 【导语】本文通过Sue、Mark和David三位滑雪者的故事，展现了竞技、嫉妒、团队精神以及个人品质的重要性。故事发生在一个滑雪度假村，Sue的滑雪技能引起了Mark和David的嫉妒，他们试图通过破坏Sue的滑雪装备来确保自己的胜利。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 第一段以“终于到了比赛的时刻，每个人都非常兴奋。”开头，可以描写比赛的紧张气氛和Sue的心态，以及比赛的开始。 ② 第二段以“可能因为感到内疚或紧张，当Sue走近他时，Mark摔倒了。”开头，可以描写Mark的内心活动，他的行为对比赛的影响，以及Sue如何克服这一障碍，继续领先。 2. 续写线索：比赛开始——紧张气氛——Sue的心态——比赛的进行——Mark的内疚和紧张——Mark的失误——Sue的领先——比赛的高潮 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ① 排队：line up/queue up ② 彻底检查：examine thoroughly/check thoroughly ③ 欢呼：roar/cheer ④ 犹豫：waver/hesitate 情绪类： ① 受到鼓舞的：inspired/encouraged ② 期待：anticipation/expectation ③ 驱动力：motivation/inspiration ④ 决心：determination/ perseverance 【点睛】【高分句型1】The crowd roared with each turn, the cheers echoing across the mountain as the racers navigated the challenging course.（运用了独立主格结构和as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】As the race neared its end, it was evident that the victory was hers to claim, and the chalet community would remember this day as the one when Sue triumphed not just in the race, but also in the spirit of sportsmanship and integrity.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句，it充当形式主语that引导真正的主语从句，when引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
