B One day in a small town in Missouri, Nema, Joe, and Sandy were driving back to St. Louis when they saw a fruit market by the road. Joe and Sandy loved markets, so they stopped and hung around. They were looking at vegetables and fruit when they came across the grape section. There were lots of grapes to choose from. Joe loved grapes, so he bought a big bushel. When Sandy and Joe finished shopping, they met Nema at the car with the grapes. There were too many to put on the back seat because Nema had too many other packages, so Joe put them in the trunk. Joe dropped off Nema and headed home with Sandy. It was very late when they got home, and Joe forgot to take the grapes out of the trunk. The next morning while on his way to work, he heard a buzzing sound and wondered what it was. He turned on a window and noticed little black and gold things flying out of the vents (通风口). They were bees! Joe’s car was filled with bees that he had to pull over and roll his windows down. A lot of bees flew out, but there were a lot left. Joe finally made it to work. He rolled down the windows so the rest of the bees would have a way to escape while he was working. On his way home, more bees came out of the vents. He couldn’t know where they were from. When he got home, he told Sandy about that. She asked him if he ever took the grapes out of the trunk. Joe said no. He went to the car, opened the trunk, and hundreds of bees were flying around! Joe ran inside and Sandy told him the bees must have come from the grapes. Joe took the grapes out and dumped them on the ground. Then came out a beehive along with the grapes, which explained why many bees were in Joe’s car. 4. Where did Joe put the grapes? A. On the left front seat. B. On the back seat. C. On the seat. D. In the trunk. 5. When did Joe begin to find the bees in the car? A. When he left the market. B. When he arrived home. C. When he went to work. D. When he opened the trunk. 6. Why did Joe open the windows of the car? A. To let the bees fly out. B. To breathe fresh air. C. To enjoy the scenery outside. D. To lower the temperature in the car. 7. Who figured out the cause of the incident? A. Joe. B. Sandy. C. Nema. D. Joe’s family. C Tagging (贴标签) a shark requires quick action and good timing, according to Jon Dodd, director of the Atlantic Shark Institute. This South Kingstown-based nonprofit organization, co-founded by a lifelong Rhode Islander, attaches various types of tags to sharks to track and study them. The process, conducted by a team of four to six people, involves attaching the tag, taking blood samples, and measuring the shark, all within a maximum of 12 minutes. If the shark shows any signs of pain, it is immediately released back into the sea, regardless of whether all data has been collected. Tagging helps researchers track sharks’ movements and gather valuable data about their behavior and habitat. Given the vulnerability (脆弱) of many shark species, the institute follows strict rules for handling the animals. Traditional J hooks (钩子), which can cause deadly injuries, have been replaced with safer circle hooks to increase the chances of a shark’s survival if the hook cannot be removed. The type of tag used depends on the species and the study’s objectives. National fisheries tags, the least expensive, are provided for free by NOAA Fisheries. These tags contain index (索引) cards that provide information when retrieved. Acoustic tags, costing $425 each, last about a decade and track sharks’ movements via signals picked up by acoustic receivers along the East Coast. The most advanced tags, pop-up satellite archival tags, cost up to$4,000 and provide detailed data such as water depth and temperature for about two years. Dodd, who has spent over 45 years studying sharks, expresses deep concern about their declining populations. He highlights the slow growth and maturation rates of many species, such as the great white shark, which takes many years to reach an adult. This slow reproduction rate, combined with high death rates from bycatch (误捕), finning, and recreational fishing, has led to a 71% decline in global shark populations since 1975. Dodd emphasizes that healthy shark populations are crucial for maintaining ocean health, which in turn affects human health. 8. Which best describes the tagging process? A. Time-consuming. B. Dangerous. C. Demanding. D. Well-paid. 9. What does paragraph 2 talk about? A. Hooks for safer tagging. B. Ways to collect data. C. Approaches to choose hooks. D. Reasons for injuries. 10. What does the underlined word “retrieved” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Attached. B. Searched. C. Released. D. Achieved. 11. What does Dodd imply about sharks? A. They have high survival rates. B. They are easy to tag. C. They reproduce quickly. D. They play an important role. D Federal regulators gave a strong push to electric-powered air taxis Wednesday by issuing a final rule for operating the aircraft and how pilots will be trained to fly them. The head of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Mike Whitaker, said the rule recognizes air taxis as an entirely new type of aircraft that will soon join airplanes and helicopters in the sky. These aircraft take off and land vertically (垂直地), like helicopters, but fly like fixed-wing planes. Many companies are working to get them on the market, but they have been held back by the lack of clarity (清晰) over regulations to govern their use. Whitaker said the FAA is stressing safety as it works to fold the new aircraft into the nation’s airspace. He said “powered-lift aircraft” are the first new category of aircraft in nearly 80 years, since the dawn of helicopters, and the rule will allow for their widespread operation. Air taxi supporters call them a cleaner alternative to passenger planes that burn jet fuel. So far, however, current technology limits their size and likely means that they will be used most often in urban areas. One of the companies in the new field praised the FAA regulation. CEO JoeBen Bevirt said, “The rules are necessary and will certainly play a positive role in the healthy development and adoption of clean flight.” Airlines see air taxis as a way to deliver passengers to airports. Delta Air Lines said in 2022 it would invest $60 million, and this month a Japanese company announced a $500 million investment. United Airlines is backing another California-based company, with an order for 200 aircraft that Archer said could be worth $1 billion with an option for $500million more. 12. What does the air taxi refer to in the text? A. A new kind of plane. B. An electric-powered taxi. C. A new type of large bus. D. A taxi as big as a helicopter. 13. What keeps the air taxi from being put to the market? A. No large investments. B. Lack of clear regulations. C. Shortage of official approval. D. High costs. 14. Why are some people in favor of the air taxi? A. For its perfect technology. B. For its low prices. C. For its clean energy. D. For its comfort and convenience. 15. What is the attitude of the Japanese company to the air taxi? A. Doubtful. B. Cautious. C. Favorable. D. Unconcerned. 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。 Have you ever heard of mental strength?

She looked all around her in the huge building that seemed to be filled with thousands of people. It was going to be her first time on an airplane. She was very excited, or rather just a little nervous. She hugged her favorite doll tight. That made her feel better. She walked down the narrow aisle of the plane to find her seat with her parents. The tall flight attendant smiled at her and asked where they were going. “A world-famous entertainment resort,” Anika said with a smile. “I think so,” replied the flight attendant. “Most of the families on this flight are headed that way.” She pointed to her name tag. “I'm Leanne. Let me know if you and your pretty doll friend need anything.” “Thanks. I'm Anika, and this is Pansy,” said Anika, holding the doll up to show her. “Nice to meet you both,” replied Leanne. The flight was a few hours so she read a book with Pansy and did some puzzles her mother had packed for the trip. Soon she was getting a little tired and bored too. Anika’s mom suggested she get some sleep, asking for a pillow and a blanket. Anika tucked Pansy under the blanket and fell asleep quickly. In no time, it seemed, she was being woken up again because it was time to land. They had arrived! She wasn’t quite awake yet. Her mother and father were busy packing up. They picked up their bags and jackets, ready to leave the plane. Leanne walked past them, collecting the pillows and blankets from the passengers. “Bye, maybe I will see you next week on your return flight home,” Leanne said and waved goodbye to Anika and the other passengers as they left the plane. As Leanne shook out the blankets she had gathered from the seats, the flight attendant was surprised when a doll fell out onto the floor. She picked it up and recognized it as the doll young Anika had shown her. 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。 With duties to complete, she couldn’t run after the family and return it. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, when she boarded the plane, Anika was surprised to see Leanne again. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1—5 CBBAC 6—10 ABCAC 11—15 BACBA 16—20 CBAAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 钦州市2024年秋季学期高二年级期末教学质量监测 英语试题 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。 例: How much is the shirt?

It was very late when they got home, and Joe forgot to take the grapes out of the trunk. The next morning while on his way to work, he heard a buzzing sound and wondered what it was. He turned on a window and noticed little black and gold things flying out of the vents (通风口). They were bees! Joe’s car was filled with bees that he had to pull over and roll his windows down. A lot of bees flew out, but there were a lot left. Joe finally made it to work. He rolled down the windows so the rest of the bees would have a way to escape while he was working. On his way home, more bees came out of the vents. He couldn’t know where they were from. When he got home, he told Sandy about that. She asked him if he ever took the grapes out of the trunk. Joe said no. He went to the car, opened the trunk, and hundreds of bees were flying around! Joe ran inside and Sandy told him the bees must have come from the grapes. Joe took the grapes out and dumped them on the ground. Then came out a beehive along with the grapes, which explained why many bees were in Joe’s car. 4. Where did Joe put the grapes? A. On the left front seat. B. On the back seat. C. On the seat. D. In the trunk. 5. When did Joe begin to find the bees in the car? A. When he left the market. B. When he arrived home. C. When he went to work. D. When he opened the trunk. 6. Why did Joe open the windows of the car? A. To let the bees fly out. B. To breathe fresh air. C. To enjoy the scenery outside. D. To lower the temperature in the car. 7. Who figured out the cause of the incident? A. Joe. B. Sandy. C. Nema. D. Joe’s family. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Joe因忘将葡萄拿出后备箱而遭遇蜜蜂困扰的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中“There were too many to put on the back seat because Nema had too many other packages, so Joe put them in the trunk. (因为Nema有很多其他包裹，所以后座放不下那么多葡萄，于是Joe把它们放进了后备箱。)”可知，Joe把葡萄放在了后备箱里。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“The next morning while on his way to work, he heard a buzzing sound and wondered what it was. He turned on a window and noticed little black and gold things flying out of the vents (通风口). They were bees! Joe’s car was filled with bees that he had to pull over and roll his windows down. (第二天早上，Joe在去上班的路上听到嗡嗡的声音，不知道是什么。他打开车窗，注意到一些小黑金色的东西从通风口飞了出来。它们是蜜蜂！Joe的车里全是蜜蜂，他不得不靠边停车，摇下车窗。)”可知，Joe在上班的路上开始发现车里有蜜蜂。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Joe’s car was filled with bees that he had to pull over and roll his windows down. A lot of bees flew out, but there were a lot left. Joe finally made it to work. He rolled down the windows so the rest of the bees would have a way to escape while he was working. (Joe的车里全是蜜蜂，他不得不靠边停车，摇下车窗。很多蜜蜂飞了出来，但还是剩下很多。Joe最终成功到达了工作地点。他把车窗摇下来，这样剩下的蜜蜂在他工作时就能找到逃出去的路。)”可知，Joe打开车窗是为了让蜜蜂飞出去。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“He went to the car, opened the trunk, and hundreds of bees were flying around! Joe ran inside and Sandy told him the bees must have come from the grapes. (他走到车旁，打开后备箱，看到数百只蜜蜂在周围飞舞！Joe跑进屋里，Sandy告诉他蜜蜂一定是来自那些葡萄。Joe把葡萄拿出来扔到地上，这时一个蜂巢随着葡萄一起掉了出来，这就解释了为什么Joe的车里有很多蜜蜂。)”可知，是Sandy找出了事故发生的原因。故选B。 C Tagging (贴标签) a shark requires quick action and good timing, according to Jon Dodd, director of the Atlantic Shark Institute. This South Kingstown-based nonprofit organization, co-founded by a lifelong Rhode Islander, attaches various types of tags to sharks to track and study them. The process, conducted by a team of four to six people, involves attaching the tag, taking blood samples, and measuring the shark, all within a maximum of 12 minutes. If the shark shows any signs of pain, it is immediately released back into the sea, regardless of whether all data has been collected. Tagging helps researchers track sharks’ movements and gather valuable data about their behavior and habitat. Given the vulnerability (脆弱) of many shark species, the institute follows strict rules for handling the animals. Traditional J hooks (钩子), which can cause deadly injuries, have been replaced with safer circle hooks to increase the chances of a shark’s survival if the hook cannot be removed. The type of tag used depends on the species and the study’s objectives. National fisheries tags, the least expensive, are provided for free by NOAA Fisheries. These tags contain index (索引) cards that provide information when retrieved. Acoustic tags, costing $425 each, last about a decade and track sharks’ movements via signals picked up by acoustic receivers along the East Coast. The most advanced tags, pop-up satellite archival tags, cost up to$4,000 and provide detailed data such as water depth and temperature for about two years. Dodd, who has spent over 45 years studying sharks, expresses deep concern about their declining populations. He highlights the slow growth and maturation rates of many species, such as the great white shark, which takes many years to reach an adult. This slow reproduction rate, combined with high death rates from bycatch (误捕), finning, and recreational fishing, has led to a 71% decline in global shark populations since 1975. Dodd emphasizes that healthy shark populations are crucial for maintaining ocean health, which in turn affects human health. 8. Which best describes the tagging process? A. Time-consuming. B. Dangerous. C. Demanding. D. Well-paid. 9. What does paragraph 2 talk about? A. Hooks for safer tagging. B. Ways to collect data. C. Approaches to choose hooks. D. Reasons for injuries. 10. What does the underlined word “retrieved” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Attached. B. Searched. C. Released. D. Achieved. 11. What does Dodd imply about sharks? A. They have high survival rates. B. They are easy to tag. C. They reproduce quickly. D. They play an important role. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了位于南金斯敦的非营利组织——大西洋鲨鱼研究所通过给鲨鱼贴标签并跟踪研究它们，以便从中获取它们的行为和栖息地信息。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Tagging (贴标签) a shark requires quick action and good timing, according to Jon Dodd, director of the Atlantic Shark Institute. (大西洋鲨鱼研究所的所长乔恩·多德说，给鲨鱼贴标签需要迅速行动和良好的时机)”以及根据第一段“The process, conducted by a team of four to six people, involves attaching the tag, taking blood samples, and measuring the shark, all within a maximum of 12 minutes. (该过程由四至六人组成的团队进行，包括贴上标签、采集血液样本和测量鲨鱼，所有这些都在最多12分钟内完成)”可推知，给鲨鱼贴标签是一个要求严格的过程。 故选C。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Traditional J hooks (钩子), which can cause deadly injuries, have been replaced with safer circle hooks to increase the chances of a shark’s survival if the hook cannot be removed.(传统的J形钩子会造成致命伤害，已被更安全的环形钩取代，以增加鲨鱼在无法取出钩子时的生存机会)”可知，这一段主要讲述了更安全的标记钩子。 故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句子“These tags contain index (索引) cards that provide information when retrieved.(这些标签包含retrieved时提供信息的索引卡)”和下文“Acoustic tags, costing $425 each, last about a decade and track sharks’ movements via signals picked up by acoustic receivers along the East Coast.(声学标签，每个425美元，能持续使用10年，通过东海岸的声学接收器接收到的信号来追踪鲨鱼的运动)”可知，这种标签的信息是检索后才能使用的，因此retrieved是“检索”的意思。与search“（用计算机）搜索，检索”同义。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dodd emphasizes that healthy shark populations are crucial for maintaining ocean health, which in turn affects human health.(多德强调，健康的鲨鱼种群对维持海洋健康至关重要，进而影响人类健康)”可推知，多德暗示鲨鱼在生态系统中发挥了重要作用。 故选D。 D Federal regulators gave a strong push to electric-powered air taxis Wednesday by issuing a final rule for operating the aircraft and how pilots will be trained to fly them. The head of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Mike Whitaker, said the rule recognizes air taxis as an entirely new type of aircraft that will soon join airplanes and helicopters in the sky. These aircraft take off and land vertically (垂直地), like helicopters, but fly like fixed-wing planes. Many companies are working to get them on the market, but they have been held back by the lack of clarity (清晰) over regulations to govern their use. Whitaker said the FAA is stressing safety as it works to fold the new aircraft into the nation’s airspace. He said “powered-lift aircraft” are the first new category of aircraft in nearly 80 years, since the dawn of helicopters, and the rule will allow for their widespread operation. Air taxi supporters call them a cleaner alternative to passenger planes that burn jet fuel. So far, however, current technology limits their size and likely means that they will be used most often in urban areas. One of the companies in the new field praised the FAA regulation. CEO JoeBen Bevirt said, “The rules are necessary and will certainly play a positive role in the healthy development and adoption of clean flight.” Airlines see air taxis as a way to deliver passengers to airports. Delta Air Lines said in 2022 it would invest $60 million, and this month a Japanese company announced a $500 million investment. United Airlines is backing another California-based company, with an order for 200 aircraft that Archer said could be worth $1 billion with an option for $500million more. 12. What does the air taxi refer to in the text? A. A new kind of plane. B. An electric-powered taxi. C. A new type of large bus. D. A taxi as big as a helicopter. 13. What keeps the air taxi from being put to the market? A. No large investments. B. Lack of clear regulations. C. Shortage of official approval. D. High costs. 14. Why are some people in favor of the air taxi? A. For its perfect technology. B. For its low prices. C. For its clean energy. D. For its comfort and convenience. 15. What is the attitude of the Japanese company to the air taxi? A. Doubtful. B. Cautious. C. Favorable. D. Unconcerned. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了电动空中出租车的发展、规定、优势及投资情况。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“These aircraft take off and land vertically (垂直地), like helicopters, but fly like fixed-wing planes.

As a high school student, I think it’s a good idea to study abroad. There are several reasons why I believe this. First of all, studying abroad can help us learn a new language better. When we live in a country where the language is spoken, we can practice it every day, which is very helpful. Besides, it can help us understand different cultures. By living with people from different backgrounds, we can learn about their traditions and ways of life. Lastly, studying abroad can make us more independent. We have to take care of ourselves, which can be a great way to grow up and learn to be responsible. So, in my opinion, if we have the chance, we should definitely consider studying abroad. It’s a great opportunity to learn and grow. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以“Should We Study Abroad?”为题写一篇短文投稿，内容包括自己的观点和理由。 【详解】1.词汇积累 在国外：abroad→ overseas 有帮助的：helpful → beneficial 理解：understand→ comprehend 在我看来：in my opinion→ from my point of view 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：By living with people from different backgrounds, we can learn about their traditions and ways of life. 拓展句：When we live with people from different backgrounds, we can learn about their traditions and ways of life. 【点睛】【高分句型1】There are several reasons why I believe this.（运用了why引导限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】When we live in a country where the language is spoken, we can practice it every day, which is very helpful.（运用了when引导时间状语从句，where引导限制性定语从句和which引导非限制性定语从句） 第二节 (满分25分) 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Anika pulled her wheeled suitcase behind her when following her parents through the airport. She looked all around her in the huge building that seemed to be filled with thousands of people. It was going to be her first time on an airplane. She was very excited, or rather just a little nervous. She hugged her favorite doll tight. That made her feel better. She walked down the narrow aisle of the plane to find her seat with her parents. The tall flight attendant smiled at her and asked where they were going. “A world-famous entertainment resort,” Anika said with a smile. “I think so,” replied the flight attendant. “Most of the families on this flight are headed that way.” She pointed to her name tag. “I'm Leanne. Let me know if you and your pretty doll friend need anything.” “Thanks. I'm Anika, and this is Pansy,” said Anika, holding the doll up to show her. “Nice to meet you both,” replied Leanne. The flight was a few hours so she read a book with Pansy and did some puzzles her mother had packed for the trip. Soon she was getting a little tired and bored too. Anika’s mom suggested she get some sleep, asking for a pillow and a blanket. Anika tucked Pansy under the blanket and fell asleep quickly. In no time, it seemed, she was being woken up again because it was time to land. They had arrived! She wasn’t quite awake yet. Her mother and father were busy packing up. They picked up their bags and jackets, ready to leave the plane. Leanne walked past them, collecting the pillows and blankets from the passengers. “Bye, maybe I will see you next week on your return flight home,” Leanne said and waved goodbye to Anika and the other passengers as they left the plane. As Leanne shook out the blankets she had gathered from the seats, the flight attendant was surprised when a doll fell out onto the floor. She picked it up and recognized it as the doll young Anika had shown her. 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。 With duties to complete, she couldn’t run after the family and return it. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, when she boarded the plane, Anika was surprised to see Leanne again. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With duties to complete, she couldn’t run after the family and return it. Leanne felt a bit worried. She knew how much the doll meant to Anika. After finishing her tasks, she took the doll to the lost-and-found office at the airport. She carefully filled out a form, describing Anika and the details of the flight. She hoped that Anika would come to claim it. Every time she thought about the little girl’s disappointed face if she found out Pansy was missing, she felt a pang of guilt. A week later, when she boarded the plane, Anika was surprised to see Leanne again. Anika’s eyes were red and swollen as she had been crying over the loss of Pansy. Leanne quickly walked over to her with a big smile and held out Pansy. “Is this what you’ve been looking for?” she asked. Anika's face lit up instantly. She hugged Leanne tightly and then grabbed Pansy, tears of joy streaming down her face. “Thank you so much! I was so sad without her,” Anika said. Leanne patted her head and said, “I knew you must be heartbroken. I’m glad I could return her to you.” And then, they started a pleasant conversation as the plane took off on its return journey. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了Anika第一次坐飞机，在飞机上与空姐Leanne交流，下飞机时不慎遗落心爱的玩偶Pansy，Leanne发现玩偶的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她还有任务要完成，不能跟着这一家人，所以她返回去了。”可知，第一段可描写Leanne在工作完成后，把玩偶送到了认领处。 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，当她登上飞机时，阿尼卡惊讶地看到莱恩。”可知，第二段可描写Leanne将玩偶给Anika的过程。 2.续写线索：工作结束到认领处登记——看到Anika——给她玩偶——感谢——交谈 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①完成：finish/complete ②高兴起来：lit up/cheered up ③返还：return/give back 情绪类 ①感谢：thank sb./be grateful to sb. ②高兴：joy/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1]  She hoped that Anika would come to claim it. （由that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] Every time she thought about the little girl’s disappointed face if she found out Pansy was missing, she felt a pang of guilt.（由every time引导的状语从句和if引导的状语从句） [高分句型3] She hugged Leanne tightly and then grabbed Pansy, tears of joy streaming down her face.（运用了独立主格结构） 1—5 CBBAC 6—10 ABCAC 11—15 BACBA 16—20 CBAAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
