When I was 7, my mother showed me how to stitch with a needle and thread, and it was my favorite pastime (休闲活动) when it was too cold and snowy to play outside. As a teenager, I began to design and sew my own outfits. I cut out paper patterns to construct dresses and skirts, and I’d sit at the old sewing machine for hours. In my late 20s, my focus shifted towards giving new life to used clothes. I began to buy used clothes to upcycle (升级改造) and refashion. My favorite places to buy used clothes are thrift shops (旧货店). This pursuit wasn’t just about fashion; it was about storytelling through clothing. About 10 years ago, when I was ripping out the silk lining (内衬) from a beautiful long blue evening dress, I stopped. There was a hidden pocket in the front that I failed to notice as I merrily ripped at the scams (接缝). I pulled out an old photo of a young woman wearing the very same blue evening dress. A long silver chain necklace hung gracefully down the front of the dress, and she was holding a black purse. She had a soft smile, and she looked to be in her early 20s. This moment was an awakening for me; it connected me to the unknown histories of the clothes I worked with. Somebody else wore this dress many years ago. Who was she? Did she wear it to the theater? To a fancy dinner party? And I was now tearing it apart. I felt guilty. I mentioned my concerns and guilt to my daughter. She said, “Mom, you should be proud of your upcycling and your sewing creations. You are keeping clothes out of the landfill (垃圾填埋场), and you’re creating new fashions. Consider it a bonus (意外收获) if you find objects in the pockets. The clothes are talking to you!” Her words helped me see the value in my hobby, not just as a creative means of expressing but as a means of preserving stories and preventing waste. I decided to pay respect to this upcycling discovery and the many others I’ve found over the years by displaying them on a bulletin board in my sewing room. These discoveries have made me enjoy refashioning and upcycling clothes even more. And this evolution in my sewing practice has not only enhanced my appreciation for the art of upcycling but has also deepened my connection to the past, making each stitch a bridge between generations. 4. What are the first two paragraphs mainly about? A. The author’s deep interest in design. B. The author’s mom’s influence on her. C. The author’s growing love for sewing. D. The author’s preference for used clothes. 5. Why does the author recycle old clothes? A. To earn lots of money. B. To follow fashion trends. C. To learn new sewing techniques. D.

C You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belvaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain-sensing umbrella. The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy (伞篷) built into a street lamp.” he said. The Lampbrella is a standard-looking streetlamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors (传感器) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining. In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass streetlamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed. According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians (行人). Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed (安装) at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians. While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belvaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter. 8. Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works? A motor →canopy →sensors. B. motor →sensors →canopy. C. canopy →motor →sensors. D. sensors →motor →canopy. 9. Why did Mikhail Belvaev create Lampbrella? A. To protect people from the rain. B. To predict a heavy rain. C. To introduce a lamp post with its own rain- sensing umbrella. D. To gain profits for himself. 10. What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella? A. Its installation. B. Its moving speed. C. Its safety. D. Its appearance. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The designer will open a company to promote his product. B. The designer is confident that his creation is practical. C. The Lampbrella could be put into immediate production. D. The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow. D Lots of people love to indulgein biscuits with their tea, but those with diabetes need to watch out for sweet treats. Diabetes is a metabolic (代谢的) disease. If a patient’s blood sugar is not well controlled, serious problems can occur. A patient may experience dizziness and fatigue, but also have kidney failure, blindness and heart disease, according to Medical News Today. But new research may make it possible to “treat diabetes by eating biscuits”. Researchers from Peking University and East China Normal University successfully developed a new cell using synthetic (合成的) biology technology. Their study was published in Nature Chemical Biology in November. In their research, diabetic mice implanted with the cells can increase insulin (胰岛素) levels and lower blood sugar as long as they eat specific amino acid (氨基酸) biscuits. It only takes 90 minutes for the mice to reduce their blood sugar, which is equivalent to the time after an insulin injection (注射), Liu Tao, one of the authors, told Science and Technology Daily. This kind of biscuit does not directly lower blood sugar levels, but is a “key” to insulin. The special amino acids in the biscuits help to start the insulin translation process. The end result is controlled blood sugar, according to Ye Haifeng, one of the authors. “This unnatural amino acid is similar to the ingredients added in many health drinks and is very friendly to the human body,” Liu told Science and Technology Daily. Maybe one day, people will need to take artificial amino acids before meals, or eat foods containing artificial amino acids suitable for diabetics, so they can control their blood sugar. Although scientists in synthetic biology have paved the way for possible future treatments, their findings won’t be ready for patients anytime soon. “Synthetic biology is still an early-stage discipline (学科) in regard to the traditional diabetes therapeutic (治疗的) development timeline, with most technologies currently in the preclinical stages in the lab,” Ira Pastor, CEO of the life sciences company Bioquark, told US News. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Why diabetes is a metabolic disease. B. Dangerous problems caused by diabetes. C. Blood sugar’s effects on the metabolic system. D Diseases that can affect blood sugar. 13. How did the blood sugar of the diabetic mice decrease in the study? A. Scientists implanted cells that can directly lower blood sugar. B. Scientists gave them biscuits with less sugar. C. The implanted cells and the specific amino acids increased insulin. D. The amino acid biscuits they ate contained insulin. 14. How does the special amino acid work? A. It transforms blood sugar into an acid. B. It helps start the insulin translation process. C. It clears ingredients unfriendly to the human body. D. It allows the injected insulin to work better. 15. Which of the following would Ira Pastor agree with? A. Synthetic biology proves the most effective solution to diabetes. B. Synthetic biology is developing quickly at present. C. There remains a long way for this therapy to enter hospitals. D. Many traditional therapeutic diabetes technologies are still in the lab. 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。 Sometimes it can feel like your head is too cluttered.

I was desperate to get home before dark, but there seemed no way. The forecast said there was going to be a heavy snow on the way. It was freezing cold outside. The wind was blowing against the windows, letting out buzzing noises. Hair standing on end, I stepped hard on the accelerator, longing to make it to my cozy home earlier. The car was roaring along the rough road when I suddenly heard a big bang coming from behind. The car somehow slowed down, and I managed to pull it over to the side of the road. I was in a cold sweat from extreme terror, wondering what had just happened. Dragging myself out of the driver’s seat, I shivered with cold. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind cleared my head. Quickly I examined the car. Much to my surprise, no serious damage was done. It was just a flat tire, but the car couldn’t move forward an inch! It was black dark outside. There was not a single soul around to turn to. A wave of fear instantly washed over me. Worse still, it began to snow at the very moment. Snowflakes were dancing in the air at the mercy of howling wind. How I wished someone could come to my rescue just in time! With nowhere to hide, I had to wait in the darkness, cold and helpless. I waited and waited, but no car or truck passed by. Swallowed by complete darkness, I almost went mad. “What if no one comes? What should I do?”, I mumbled. At this point, I was totally seized by anxiety and fear. My patience was running out when loud noises boomed out from the dark night. There came a Ford pickup, with dazzling light cast over the white snow. I sprang to my feet, waving my arms crazily. 注意： 1．续写词数应150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para 1: The pickup finally stopped, and out stepped the driver. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: The driver drew back and refused to take the money. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年度第一学期高一期中测试 英语试题 本试卷共8页。考试结束后, 将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 注意事项: 1. 答题前, 考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚, 将条形码准确粘贴在考生信息条形码粘贴区。 2. 选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂; 非选择题必须使用0.5毫米黑色字迹的签字笔书写, 字体工整、笔迹清楚。 3. 请按照题号顺序在答题卡各题目的答题区域内作答, 超出答题区域书写的答案无效; 在草稿纸、试卷上答题无效。 4. 作图可先使用铅笔画出, 确定后必须用黑色字迹的签字笔描黑。 5. 保持卡面清洁, 不要折叠, 不要弄破、弄皱, 不准使用涂改液、修正带、刮纸刀。 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Here are four online art courses covering color mixing, botanical drawing, and painting the natural world.

When I was 7, my mother showed me how to stitch with a needle and thread, and it was my favorite pastime (休闲活动) when it was too cold and snowy to play outside. As a teenager, I began to design and sew my own outfits. I cut out paper patterns to construct dresses and skirts, and I’d sit at the old sewing machine for hours.(我一生都热爱缝纫。当我7岁的时候，妈妈教我如何用针线缝纫，这是我最喜欢的消遣，因为天气太冷，下雪了，不能在外面玩。十几岁的时候，我开始设计和缝制自己的衣服。我在纸上剪出图案来做连衣裙和裙子，我会在旧缝纫机前坐上几个小时)”以及第二段“In my late 20s, my focus shifted towards giving new life to used clothes. I began to buy used clothes to upcycle (升级改造) and refashion. My favorite places to buy used clothes are thrift shops (旧货店). This pursuit wasn’t just about fashion; it was about storytelling through clothing.(在我快30岁的时候，我的关注点转向了赋予旧衣服新的生命。我开始购买旧衣服进行升级改造。我最喜欢买旧衣服的地方是旧货店。这种追求不仅仅是为了时尚；而是通过服装讲故事)”可知，前两段主要讲的是作者对缝纫的热爱与日俱增。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Her words helped me see the value in my hobby, not just as a creative means of expressing but as a means of preserving stories and preventing waste.(她的话让我看到了我的爱好的价值，它不仅是一种创造性的表达方式，也是一种保存故事和防止浪费的手段)”可知，作者回收旧衣服是为了保存故事，减少浪费。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“And I was now tearing it apart.

But designer Mikhail Belvaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain-sensing umbrella. The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy (伞篷) built into a street lamp.” he said. The Lampbrella is a standard-looking streetlamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors (传感器) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining. In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass streetlamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed. According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians (行人). Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed (安装) at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians. While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belvaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter. 8. Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works? A. motor →canopy →sensors. B. motor →sensors →canopy. C. canopy →motor →sensors. D. sensors →motor →canopy. 9. Why did Mikhail Belvaev create Lampbrella? A. To protect people from the rain. B. To predict a heavy rain. C. To introduce a lamp post with its own rain- sensing umbrella. D. To gain profits for himself. 10. What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the Lampbrella? A. Its installation. B. Its moving speed. C. Its safety. D. Its appearance. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The designer will open a company to promote his product. B. The designer is confident that his creation is practical. C. The Lampbrella could be put into immediate production. D. The Lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Mikhail Belyaev发明的一种路灯，可以让人们即使在下雨天没带雨衣或者雨伞，也不必害怕被淋湿。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The Lampbrella is a standard-looking streetlamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining. (‘伞灯’是一种外形标准的路灯，上面装有伞篷。它有一个内置的电动马达，可以根据需要打开或关闭雨伞。传感器会确保雨伞在开始下雨时为行人提供庇护)”可知，传感器感知下雨，然后电动马达控制伞篷的开合，故三者的排列关系是传感器→马达→伞篷。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“‘Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy built into a street lamp.’ he said. (有一次，我开车行驶在圣彼得堡市中心的街道上，看到路灯照亮了试图躲避雨水的人们。我觉得在路灯里装一个伞篷会很合适。他说)”可知，Mikhail Belyaev发明雨水感应式路灯伞是为了下雨时让行人避雨。故选A。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. (这样就不会对行人造成伤害。此外，它将被接地以防止可能的雷击)”及“Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians. (安装在距离地面2米的地方，它只会对最高的行人造成危险)”可知，本段主要描述了这种伞的安全性。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter. (坚持认为，他的发明可以安装在任何行人多但没有遮蔽处的街道上)”可知，设计者认为他的发明可以安装在行人多但无遮挡的街道上，由此可知设计者对自己的发明充满信心，认为它很实用。故选B。 D Lots of people love to indulgein biscuits with their tea, but those with diabetes need to watch out for sweet treats. Diabetes is a metabolic (代谢的) disease. If a patient’s blood sugar is not well controlled, serious problems can occur. A patient may experience dizziness and fatigue, but also have kidney failure, blindness and heart disease, according to Medical News Today. But new research may make it possible to “treat diabetes by eating biscuits”. Researchers from Peking University and East China Normal University successfully developed a new cell using synthetic (合成的) biology technology. Their study was published in Nature Chemical Biology in November. In their research, diabetic mice implanted with the cells can increase insulin (胰岛素) levels and lower blood sugar as long as they eat specific amino acid (氨基酸) biscuits. It only takes 90 minutes for the mice to reduce their blood sugar, which is equivalent to the time after an insulin injection (注射), Liu Tao, one of the authors, told Science and Technology Daily. This kind of biscuit does not directly lower blood sugar levels, but is a “key” to insulin. The special amino acids in the biscuits help to start the insulin translation process. The end result is controlled blood sugar, according to Ye Haifeng, one of the authors. “This unnatural amino acid is similar to the ingredients added in many health drinks and is very friendly to the human body,” Liu told Science and Technology Daily. Maybe one day, people will need to take artificial amino acids before meals, or eat foods containing artificial amino acids suitable for diabetics, so they can control their blood sugar. Although scientists in synthetic biology have paved the way for possible future treatments, their findings won’t be ready for patients anytime soon. “Synthetic biology is still an early-stage discipline (学科) in regard to the traditional diabetes therapeutic (治疗的) development timeline, with most technologies currently in the preclinical stages in the lab,” Ira Pastor, CEO of the life sciences company Bioquark, told US News. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Why diabetes is a metabolic disease. B. Dangerous problems caused by diabetes. C. Blood sugar’s effects on the metabolic system. D. Diseases that can affect blood sugar. 13. How did the blood sugar of the diabetic mice decrease in the study? A. Scientists implanted cells that can directly lower blood sugar. B. Scientists gave them biscuits with less sugar. C. The implanted cells and the specific amino acids increased insulin. D. The amino acid biscuits they ate contained insulin. 14. How does the special amino acid work? A. It transforms blood sugar into an acid. B. It helps start the insulin translation process. C. It clears ingredients unfriendly to the human body. D. It allows the injected insulin to work better. 15. Which of the following would Ira Pastor agree with? A. Synthetic biology proves the most effective solution to diabetes. B. Synthetic biology is developing quickly at present. C. There remains a long way for this therapy to enter hospitals. D. Many traditional therapeutic diabetes technologies are still in the lab. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了通过食用特制饼干来控制糖尿病的新研究进展。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第二段“Diabetes is a metabolic (代谢的) disease. If a patient’s blood sugar is not well controlled, serious problems can occur. A patient may experience dizziness and fatigue, but also have kidney failure, blindness and heart disease, according to Medical News Today. (糖尿病是一种代谢疾病。如果患者的血糖控制不好，可能会出现严重的问题。据《今日医学新闻》报道，患者可能会感到头晕和疲劳，还会出现肾衰竭、失明和心脏病。)”可知，第二段主要阐述了糖尿病可能导致的严重健康问题。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段中“In their research, diabetic mice implanted with the cells can increase insulin (胰岛素) levels and lower blood sugar as long as they eat specific amino acid (氨基酸) biscuits. (在他们的研究中，植入这种细胞的糖尿病小鼠只要吃特定的氨基酸饼干，就能提高胰岛素水平，降低血糖。)”可知，在这项中研究中的糖尿病小鼠是通过植入的细胞和特定的氨基酸共同作用增加了胰岛素水平，从而降低了血糖。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第五段中“This kind of biscuit does not directly lower blood sugar levels, but is a “key” to insulin. The special amino acids in the biscuits help to start the insulin translation process. (这种饼干不会直接降低血糖水平，但却是胰岛素的‘关键’。饼干中特殊的氨基酸有助于启动胰岛素的转化过程。)”可知，特殊的氨基酸帮助启动胰岛素转化过程。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段““Synthetic biology is still an early-stage discipline (学科) in regard to the traditional diabetes therapeutic (治疗的) development timeline, with most technologies currently in the preclinical stages in the lab,” Ira Pastor, CEO of the life sciences company Bioquark, told US News. (生命科学公司Bioquark的首席执行官Ira Pastor在接受《美国新闻》采访时表示：‘就传统的糖尿病治疗发展时间表而言，合成生物学仍然是一门早期学科，大多数技术目前都处于实验室的临床前阶段。’)”可知，Ira认为这项技术目前处于实验室的临床前阶段，还不能进入医院；由此可知，他认为这种疗法要进入医院还有很长的路要走。故选C。 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。 Sometimes it can feel like your head is too cluttered.

I was desperate to get home before dark, but there seemed no way. The forecast said there was going to be a heavy snow on the way. It was freezing cold outside. The wind was blowing against the windows, letting out buzzing noises. Hair standing on end, I stepped hard on the accelerator, longing to make it to my cozy home earlier. The car was roaring along the rough road when I suddenly heard a big bang coming from behind. The car somehow slowed down, and I managed to pull it over to the side of the road. I was in a cold sweat from extreme terror, wondering what had just happened. Dragging myself out of the driver’s seat, I shivered with cold. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind cleared my head. Quickly I examined the car. Much to my surprise, no serious damage was done. It was just a flat tire, but the car couldn’t move forward an inch! It was black dark outside. There was not a single soul around to turn to. A wave of fear instantly washed over me. Worse still, it began to snow at the very moment. Snowflakes were dancing in the air at the mercy of howling wind. How I wished someone could come to my rescue just in time! With nowhere to hide, I had to wait in the darkness, cold and helpless. I waited and waited, but no car or truck passed by. Swallowed by complete darkness, I almost went mad. “What if no one comes? What should I do?”, I mumbled. At this point, I was totally seized by anxiety and fear. My patience was running out when loud noises boomed out from the dark night. There came a Ford pickup, with dazzling light cast over the white snow. I sprang to my feet, waving my arms crazily. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para 1: The pickup finally stopped, and out stepped the driver. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: The driver drew back and refused to take the money. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The pickup finally stopped, and out stepped the driver. “What’s up? young man!” asked the driver. “I have a flat tire.” I responded. The driver then knelt on his knee and took a close look at the broken tire. “Nothing serious, I’ll help replace the tire.” Hearing his words, I breathed a sigh of relief. A surge of warmth soon flowed through my heart. The driver immediately pulled some tools out of the trunk and set to work. Just within minutes, the spare tire was installed in place. Deeply touched by the driver’s selfless help, I grabbed his arm, trying to cram some cash into his hand. The driver drew back and refused to take the money. In no time, he stepped onto the pickup and soon disappeared into the dark night, leaving me greatly shocked. An accident turned out to be a blessing when a stranger approached me like an angel. Many years have passed, but the driver’s kind gesture still sticks in my head. It was his generous help that drove away cold, bringing me warmth on that snowy night. Even though I don’t know his name, his act of kindness makes a great difference to me, always inspiring me to reach out to those in need. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一个风雪交加的夜晚遇到车辆故障，随后被一位陌生司机无私帮助的故事，展现了人与人之间的温情与善意。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“皮卡终于停了下来，司机走了下来。”以及第二段首句内容“司机抽回手，拒绝收钱。”可知，第一段可描写皮卡车司机下车后帮助作者装好了备用轮胎，作者很感动，想给钱对方表示感谢。 ②由第二段首句内容“司机抽回手，拒绝收钱。”可知，第二段可描写司机拒绝接受钱，作者非常感动，常常想起这位好心人。 2.续写线索：司机询问情况——作者解释——司机帮忙——表示感谢——司机拒绝——非常感动——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回复：respond/reply ②抓住：grab/grasp ③努力做某事：try to do sth /make an effort to do sth 情绪类 ①感动的：touched/moved ②震惊的：shocked/stunned 【点睛】【高分句型1】An accident turned out to be a blessing when a stranger approached me like an angel.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Even though I don’t know his name, his act of kindness makes a great difference to me, always inspiring me to reach out to those in need.（运用了even though引导的状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
