For a few days each year, every national park in America is free to visit — including hundreds of national monuments, seashores, historic sites and more. Less than a quarter of them have entry fees, but those that do charge up to $20 per person or up to $35 per vehicle. Revenue (收入) from these fees stays in the National Park Service to cover visitor services, including improving accessibility, restoring wildlife habitat and more. “National parks are places that awaken senses, inspire curiosity, encourage reflection, and promote joy,” National Park Service Director Chuck Sams said in a statement. “The entrance fee-free days expand opportunities for people to visit their national parks and experience the beauty and history of our country.” There’s a new addition to the entrance fee-free days in 2024: Juneteenth, which became recognized as a national holiday on June 17, 2021. National park free entry days for 2024: ●Jan. 15 — Martin Luther King, Jr. Day ●April 20 — First day of National Park Week ●June 19 — Juneteenth ●Aug. 4 — Great American Outdoors Day ●Sept. 28 — National Public Lands Day ●Nov. 11 — Veterans Day Fees for certain activities like camping and fishing will still be in place. Additionally, parks operated in partnership with outside parties may charge other types of fees. For instance, Waco Mammoth charges an access fee for its dig shelter. That park is run by the Park Service, together with the City of Waco, Texas, and Baylor University. Visitors can find site-specific details on park websites. 1. What are some national parks’ entrance fees mainly used for? A. Popularizing the country’s history. B. Paying for visitor services. C. Financing visitors during their stay. D. Boosting local economies. 2. When is the national park free entry day for the new addition in 2024? A. April 20. B. June 17. C. June 19. D. Sept. 28. 3. What can be learned about Waco Mammoth? A. It is cooperatively managed. B. It hosts some outdoor parties. C. It features camping and fishing. D. It is free of charge all year round. B In a breathtaking incident in Berlin, a young man narrowly escaped a life-threatening situation where he became trapped beneath a bus. The 16-year-old found himself unable to move beneath a tyre (轮胎) of the bus when he fell down during an attempt to catch the departing vehicle at a local stop on a Monday afternoon. The quick response of the bus driver who immediately stopped the vehicle, coupled with the assistance of roughly 40 people, including both passengers and bystanders, led to a remarkable achievement. Together, they managed to lift the right side of the bus sufficiently to free the young man. Frank Kurze, one of the courageous volunteers who participated in the rescue, recalled the messy scene, stating, “I saw the men trying to lift the bus, and it was clear to me that I also had to help lift the bus and try to pull the young man from underneath.” Nearby medical professionals from a healthcare center in the Spandau neighborhood of Berlin instantly arrived at the scene to provide vital first aid. Michelle Rueckborn, one of the nurses on duty, shared their response, saying, “We were at work when we heard screams, and our coworker looked out of the window and saw what had happened, and said ‘Grab the doctor’s kit and run.’” Sandra Grunwald, another nurse present at the scene, added, “He was responsive but understandably confused, unsure of what was unfolding around him.” Despite the frightening circumstances, the young man unbelievably survived with only minor injuries, thanks to the collective effort of around 40 individuals who came together to perform a heroic rescue. The Berlin police department praised the collective efforts of those involved in the rescue as “heroes” and expressed their gratitude on social media, stating, “Thank you, Spandau. Thank you, Berlin.” 4. What was the accident at the bus stop? A. A teenager got caught under a bus. B. The tyre of a bus suddenly blew out. C. A young passenger fell from his seat. D. The driver found the bus uncontrollable. 5. What did Frank Kurze do at the rescue scene? A. He recorded the whole event. B. He stepped forward bravely. C He turned to medical staff. D. He called more volunteers in. 6. Which of the following best describes the medical professionals? A. Tolerant. B. Creative. C. Patient. D. Decisive. 7. What message does the text try to convey? A. One good turn deserves another. B. Kindness brings mental rewards. C. Many hands make light work. D. Opportunity is for the prepared. C I came across the book Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less from a library app and I can say that after reading, it did not disappoint. The book fits into the personal development category. It talks about how important it is to focus on absolutely important things and remove the unnecessary distractions. The common problem, Greg McKeown says, is spotting the important things. Essentialism means continuously defining where we can create the most value, then finding ways to execute these tasks most effortlessly. In Essentialism, McKeown draws on experience and insight from working with the leaders of the most innovative companies in the world to show how to achieve the pursuit of less. More importantly, by applying a more selective standard for what is essential, the pursuit of less allows us to regain control of our own choices so we can channel our time, energy and effort into making the highest possible contribution toward the goals and activities that matter. McKeown further explores the difference between an essentialist and a non-essentialist. He gives fantastic and relatable examples from his life as well as from others to illustrate how functioning as a non-essentialist is harmful for both you and those around you. He says the primary difference in both of them is the one who says yes to everything and the other (the essentialist) says yes only to the things that matter. He also tells that a non-essentialist will commit to everything and put his personal priorities (优先事项) on the side while that is opposite in case of the essentialist. Whether it is in work-life or personal life, a non-essentialist will try to do more by quick-fix solutions but an essentialist will focus on removing barriers and nothing else. He also gives us examples of famous people like Mahatma Gandhi who followed essentialism. Finally, the book tells us how to set out the important things in our life — like a routine of 8 hours of sleep, daily journal or playing or relaxing every day to let our minds rest. In today’s fast-paced life, McKeown says, restfulness is a precious escape from the noisy world. 8. What does the underlined word “execute” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Carry out. B. Switch between. C. Watch out for. D. Get away from. 9. What is mainly stressed in paragraph 3? A. The significance of essentialism. B. The inspiration for the book. C. Achievements of essentialists. D. Strategies for pursuing less. 10. Which of the following is a feature of essentialists? A. Commitment to daily work. B. High efficiency in work. C. Positive influence by celebrities. D. Concentration on priorities. 11. What does McKeown suggest people do? A. Avoid tiring work if possible. B. Find meaning in everyday life. C. Take a break when necessary. D. Remain restless and unmotivated. D For years, those looking to generate electricity without using fossil fuels have dreamed of exploring the virtually unlimited heat source that lies 8 kilometres or more beneath Earth’s surface. Previous efforts have been blocked because getting to that heat requires drilling into rock that is too hard for conventional techniques. Now, one possibility involves repurposing an existing technology to dig this source and produce electricity at a lower cost than any existing form of power generation. This isn’t, however, simply a matter of economics. Even if all nations were to meet the commitments that were made under the Paris Agreement on climate change, temperatures are expected to rise by roughly 3℃ by 2100. Digging deep geothermal (地热) energy has the promise of replacing fossil fuel-powered plants to prevent this disaster. The technology that might enable this, which makes use of millimetre waves, was improved for academic research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and could provide access to the 400℃ to 500℃ heat that lies several kilometres below Earth’s surface. Obtained through a hole, this heat could produce steam for electricity generation as a zero-carbon alternative for fossil fuels. Millimetre waves are similar to, but vastly more powerful than, the waves used in a microwave oven. Created by a device called a gyrotron, these waves have now been proven to vaporise (汽化) rock according to Carlos Araque,CEO of start-up Quaise Energy, which has a licence to commercialise the technology for deep drilling. Combined with conventional drilling, it might be possible to open a hole reaching large amounts of deep heat. The genius of this technology is that it matches existing facilities and expertise, while the biggest difficulty will be delivering and focusing the millimetre waves so deep underground. This challenge can and must be met. Quaise Energy plans to complete a shallow pilot project next year and construct two deep drill holes later. If its approach proves attainable, deep geothermal energy could be employed extremely rapidly. The speed with which a covid-19 vaccine (疫苗) was produced showed what the world can do when faced with an emergency. Deep geothermal energy promises to be the equivalent of a vaccine for the climate emergency. 12. Why does the author mention the Paris Agreement in paragraph 2? A. To explain the complexity of climate change. B. To show the urgency for sustainable resources. C. To display the climate crisis caused by humans. D. To prove the accuracy of prediction on temperature. 13. What can millimetre waves be used to do? A. Generate enough powerful steam. B. Transform rock into heat energy. C. Detect the location of deep heat. D. Create holes through hard rock. 14. What can be inferred about Quaise Energy’s plan? A. It’s a hurried decision. B. It’s sort of unrealistic. C. It’s highly anticipated. D. It’s inspired by vaccines. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Exploring the Earth B. Drilling Deep C. HOT! Wave Energy D. Heat for Heart! 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。 Whether you’re exploring retirement communities for a family member, friend or yourself, it’s natural to feel a bit uncertain.

Remember, our art festival is going to be right after Christmas. You’ll have to play in front of an audience then. Playing at the shopping center this weekend would be great practice.” “I’m sorry. I can’t be there,” Mya went on. “My great-grandmother invited my family to the Christmas party at her retirement community that afternoon.” Mya didn’t add that she was relieved to have an excuse not to have to play at the shopping center. The thought of playing piano with so many people around made her stomach clench into a knot. On Saturday morning, as Mya helped Mom and Dad wrap presents for Great-Grandma, she thought about her friends playing the piano at the shopping center. She pictured hundreds of shoppers hanging around and listening while going from store to store. Some of them would take breaks from shopping to sit on benches and watch the piano players. “I’m so glad I won’t be there,” she thought to herself. When Mya and her parents arrived at the retirement community, they greeted Great-Grandma with hugs and wishes for a merry Christmas. Mrs. Carmen, the party activities director, showed a short holiday movie first. Then they played games, and the residents opened their gifts. “We usually end by singing Christmas carols,” Mrs. Carmen said. “But our pianoplayer wasn’t able to make it today.” “Mya plays the piano,” Great-Grandma announced, smiling proudly. “Wonderful,” Mrs. Carmen said. She smiled at Mya. “Mya, would you like to play while we sing? It would be such a help.” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mya was about to say she couldn’t do it. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ She sat down on the bench and played “Silent Night”. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023级高二上学期期末模拟考试 英语 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

The book fits into the personal development category. It talks about how important it is to focus on absolutely important things and remove the unnecessary distractions. The common problem, Greg McKeown says, is spotting the important things. Essentialism means continuously defining where we can create the most value, then finding ways to execute these tasks most effortlessly. In Essentialism, McKeown draws on experience and insight from working with the leaders of the most innovative companies in the world to show how to achieve the pursuit of less. More importantly, by applying a more selective standard for what is essential, the pursuit of less allows us to regain control of our own choices so we can channel our time, energy and effort into making the highest possible contribution toward the goals and activities that matter. McKeown further explores the difference between an essentialist and a non-essentialist. He gives fantastic and relatable examples from his life as well as from others to illustrate how functioning as a non-essentialist is harmful for both you and those around you. He says the primary difference in both of them is the one who says yes to everything and the other (the essentialist) says yes only to the things that matter. He also tells that a non-essentialist will commit to everything and put his personal priorities (优先事项) on the side while that is opposite in case of the essentialist. Whether it is in work-life or personal life, a non-essentialist will try to do more by quick-fix solutions but an essentialist will focus on removing barriers and nothing else. He also gives us examples of famous people like Mahatma Gandhi who followed essentialism. Finally, the book tells us how to set out the important things in our life — like a routine of 8 hours of sleep, daily journal or playing or relaxing every day to let our minds rest. In today’s fast-paced life, McKeown says, restfulness is a precious escape from the noisy world. 8. What does the underlined word “execute” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Carry out. B. Switch between. C. Watch out for. D. Get away from. 9. What is mainly stressed in paragraph 3? A. The significance of essentialism. B. The inspiration for the book. C. Achievements of essentialists. D. Strategies for pursuing less. 10. Which of the following is a feature of essentialists? A. Commitment to daily work. B. High efficiency in work. C. Positive influence by celebrities. D. Concentration on priorities. 11. What does McKeown suggest people do? A. Avoid tiring work if possible. B. Find meaning in everyday life. C. Take a break when necessary. D. Remain restless and unmotivated. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了作者看到了一本叫做《本质主义：有纪律地追求更少》的书，他对这本书印象深刻。他讲述了这本书中让人受益匪浅的理论——本质论。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“It talks about how important it is to focus on absolutely important things and remove the unnecessary distractions. (它谈到了专注于绝对重要的事情和消除不必要的干扰是多么重要。)”以及划线单词的前半句话“Essentialism means continuously defining where we can create the most value(本质主义意味着不断定义我们可以在哪里创造最大价值)”可知，本质论教会了我们专注于绝对重要的事情和消除不必要的干扰。我们要找到哪里能够创造最大的价值，然后找到方式去消除不必要的干扰，找到方法最轻松地执行这些任务。所以划线单词的意思是“执行”。故选A。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“In Essentialism, McKeown draws on experience and insight from working with the leaders of the most innovative companies in the world to show how to achieve the pursuit of less. More importantly, by applying a more selective standard for what is essential, the pursuit of less allows us to regain control of our own choices so we can channel our time, energy and effort into making the highest possible contribution toward the goals and activities that matter.(在本质论中，麦基翁借鉴了与世界上最具创新性的公司领导者合作的经验和见解，展示了如何实现追求更少。更重要的是，通过对重要的东西应用更具选择性的标准，追求更少的东西可以让我们重新控制自己的选择，这样我们就可以将时间、精力和努力用于为重要的目标和活动做出尽可能高的贡献)”可知，本质论中告诉了人们如何实现追求更少，这样我们就可以将时间、精力和努力用于为重要的目标和活动做出尽可能高的贡献。所以本段重点强调了本质论的重要意义。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“He also tells that a non-essentialist will commit to everything and put his personal priorities (优先事项) on the side while that is opposite in case of the essentialist. Whether it is in work-life or personal life, a non-essentialist will try to do more by quick-fix solutions but an essentialist will focus on removing barriers and nothing else. (他还告诉，一个非本质主义者会致力于一切，并把他的个人优先事项放在一边，而在本质主义者的情况下，情况恰恰相反。无论是在工作生活还是个人生活中，非本质主义者都会试图通过快速解决方案做更多的事情，但本质主义会专注于消除障碍，而不是其他)”可知，本质主义的特征在于会专注于个人优先事项，而非本质主义则会把个人优先事项放在一边。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Finally, the book tells us how to set out the important things in our life—like a routine of 8 hours of sleep, daily journal or playing or relaxing every day to let our minds rest. In today’s fast-paced life, McKeown says, restfulness is a precious escape from the noisy world.(最后，这本书告诉我们如何安排我们生活中的重要事情，比如每天8小时的睡眠、写日记或玩耍或放松，让我们的大脑得到休息。麦基翁说，在当今快节奏的生活中，宁静是逃离嘈杂世界的宝贵方式)”可知，McKeown建议人们在生活中要适当的休息，使大脑得到放松。故选C。 D For years, those looking to generate electricity without using fossil fuels have dreamed of exploring the virtually unlimited heat source that lies 8 kilometres or more beneath Earth’s surface. Previous efforts have been blocked because getting to that heat requires drilling into rock that is too hard for conventional techniques. Now, one possibility involves repurposing an existing technology to dig this source and produce electricity at a lower cost than any existing form of power generation. This isn’t, however, simply a matter of economics. Even if all nations were to meet the commitments that were made under the Paris Agreement on climate change, temperatures are expected to rise by roughly 3℃ by 2100. Digging deep geothermal (地热) energy has the promise of replacing fossil fuel-powered plants to prevent this disaster. The technology that might enable this, which makes use of millimetre waves, was improved for academic research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and could provide access to the 400℃ to 500℃ heat that lies several kilometres below Earth’s surface. Obtained through a hole, this heat could produce steam for electricity generation as a zero-carbon alternative for fossil fuels. Millimetre waves are similar to, but vastly more powerful than, the waves used in a microwave oven. Created by a device called a gyrotron, these waves have now been proven to vaporise (汽化) rock according to Carlos Araque,CEO of start-up Quaise Energy, which has a licence to commercialise the technology for deep drilling. Combined with conventional drilling, it might be possible to open a hole reaching large amounts of deep heat. The genius of this technology is that it matches existing facilities and expertise, while the biggest difficulty will be delivering and focusing the millimetre waves so deep underground. This challenge can and must be met. Quaise Energy plans to complete a shallow pilot project next year and construct two deep drill holes later. If its approach proves attainable, deep geothermal energy could be employed extremely rapidly. The speed with which a covid-19 vaccine (疫苗) was produced showed what the world can do when faced with an emergency. Deep geothermal energy promises to be the equivalent of a vaccine for the climate emergency. 12. Why does the author mention the Paris Agreement in paragraph 2? A. To explain the complexity of climate change. B. To show the urgency for sustainable resources. C. To display the climate crisis caused by humans. D. To prove the accuracy of prediction on temperature. 13. What can millimetre waves be used to do? A. Generate enough powerful steam. B. Transform rock into heat energy. C. Detect the location of deep heat. D. Create holes through hard rock. 14. What can be inferred about Quaise Energy’s plan? A. It’s a hurried decision. B. It’s sort of unrealistic. C. It’s highly anticipated. D. It’s inspired by vaccines. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Exploring the Earth B. Drilling Deep C. HOT! Wave Energy D. Heat for Heart! 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了麻省理工学院研究改进了利用毫米波来钻入地下最硬的岩石，开采出位于地球表面下8公里或更远的地热能来代替化石燃料发电。这样就可以减少对气候的影响。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Even if all nations were to meet the commitments that were made under the Paris Agreement on climate change, temperatures are expected to rise by roughly 3℃ by 2100. Digging deep geothermal (地热) energy has the promise of replacing fossil fuel-powered plants to prevent this disaster.(即使所有国家都要履行《巴黎协定》对气候变化做出的承诺，预计到2100年，气温将上升约3摄氏度。挖掘深层地热能有望取代化石燃料发电厂，以防止这场灾难)”可知，如果所有国家都要履行《巴黎协定》，预计到2100年，气温也将上升约3摄氏度。由此可推知，人们急需找到地热能来替代化石燃料发电厂，以减轻气候改变带来的危害。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The technology that might enable this, which makes use of millimetre waves, was improved for academic research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and could provide access to the 400℃ to 500℃ heat that lies several kilometres below Earth’s surface. Obtained through a hole, this heat could produce steam for electricity generation as a zero-carbon alternative for fossil fuels.(麻省理工学院的学术研究改进了利用毫米波实现这一目标的技术，该技术可以提供地球表面以下几公里的400摄氏度至500摄氏度的热量。通过一个洞获得的热量可以产生蒸汽发电，作为化石燃料的零碳替代品)”可知，毫米波可以通过在坚硬的岩石上打洞来获得地热能。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Quaise Energy plans to complete a shallow pilot project next year and construct two deep drill holes later. If its approach proves attainable, deep geothermal energy could be employed extremely rapidly. (Quaise Energy计划明年完成一个浅层试点项目，稍后建造两个深钻孔。如果这种方法被证明是可行的，那么深层地热能可以非常迅速地被利用)”可知，如果Quaise Energy的计划实施成功，那么深层地热能可以非常迅速地被利用。由此可推知，这个计划是被高度期待的。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The technology that might enable this, which makes use of millimetre waves, was improved for academic research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and could provide access to the 400℃ to 500℃ heat that lies several kilometres below Earth’s surface.(麻省理工学院的学术研究改进了利用毫米波实现这一目标的技术，该技术可以提供地球表面以下几公里的400摄氏度至500摄氏度的热量)”以及其全文可知，本文主要讲述了麻省理工学院研究改进了利用毫米波来钻入地下最硬的岩石，开采出位于地球表面下8公里或更远的地热能来代替化石燃料发电。这样就可以减少对气候的影响。所以“深度钻探”适合作本文的标题。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。 Whether you’re exploring retirement communities for a family member, friend or yourself, it’s natural to feel a bit uncertain.

Remember, our art festival is going to be right after Christmas. You’ll have to play in front of an audience then. Playing at the shopping center this weekend would be great practice.” “I’m sorry. I can’t be there,” Mya went on. “My great-grandmother invited my family to the Christmas party at her retirement community that afternoon.” Mya didn’t add that she was relieved to have an excuse not to have to play at the shopping center. The thought of playing piano with so many people around made her stomach clench into a knot. On Saturday morning, as Mya helped Mom and Dad wrap presents for Great-Grandma, she thought about her friends playing the piano at the shopping center. She pictured hundreds of shoppers hanging around and listening while going from store to store. Some of them would take breaks from shopping to sit on benches and watch the piano players. “I’m so glad I won’t be there,” she thought to herself. When Mya and her parents arrived at the retirement community, they greeted Great-Grandma with hugs and wishes for a merry Christmas. Mrs. Carmen, the party activities director, showed a short holiday movie first. Then they played games, and the residents opened their gifts. “We usually end by singing Christmas carols,” Mrs. Carmen said. “But our pianoplayer wasn’t able to make it today.” “Mya plays the piano,” Great-Grandma announced, smiling proudly. “Wonderful,” Mrs. Carmen said. She smiled at Mya. “Mya, would you like to play while we sing? It would be such a help.” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mya was about to say she couldn’t do it. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ She sat down on the bench and played “Silent Night”. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Mya was about to say she couldn’t do it. However, looking around the room, she saw the smiles on all the faces as they looked eagerly toward her, especially her great-grandma. Her eyes were sparkling like diamonds. It was a big day for her. Nevertheless, Mya had her heart in her mouth at the thought that everyone would be sitting in a big circle facing the piano, which would be worse than playing at the shopping center. Just then, she remembered what Ms. Jackson had said. Taking a deep breath, Mya dragged her feet to the piano hesitantly. She sat down on the bench and played “Silent Night”. The moment she touched the keys, her previous fear as well as anxiety faded away. Immersing herself in melody, she made no mistake all the way through. What a relief! Then, as she played it again, everyone began to sing cheerfully to the piano. A warm feeling chased away the butterflies in her stomach. Mya just had to do it. And she did! Ms. Jackson was right. By doing what scares you, you’ll gain a completely new perspective on yourself. 【解析】 【导语】本文以故事情节为线索展开，讲述了米娅拒绝钢琴老师让她这个星期六下午，和其他同学一起在购物中心唱圣诞颂歌，但去看望退休社区的曾祖母，不得不给大家弹奏圣诞颂歌，感悟到通过做那些让自己害怕的事情，你会对自己有一个全新认识的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“米娅正要说她做不到。”可知，第一段可描写米娅的紧张和心理想法，结合第二段的提示可知，此处应该要去演奏圣诞颂歌。 ②由第二段首句内容“她坐在长凳上，演奏了《平安夜》。”可知，第二段可描写米娅沉浸在演奏中以及大家的反应和米娅的感悟。 2.续写线索： 紧张——心理斗争——决定演奏——顺利演奏——大家的反应——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看：look/witness/spot ②赶走：chase away/drive away ③获得：gain/obtain/get 情绪类 ①渴望：dying for /eager/desperate ②快乐的：cheerful/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1] Nevertheless, Mya had her heart in her mouth at the thought that everyone would be sitting in a big circle facing the piano, which would be worse than playing at the shopping center.（运用了非谓语动词和which引导的定语从句） [高分句型2] Just then, she remembered what Ms. Jackson had said.（运用了what引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
