Previous writing． B My husband Wade and I run Southern Koala Rescue and are committed to saving as many koalas as we can. One day, we were called out to rescue a koala that was stuck in a burning tree; but when the flames died down, we decided to return, thinking there could be other koalas that needed our help. Wade and I were walking through the blackened bushland with our team of volunteers when I spotted a koala on a burnt tree with a swollen and infected wound the size of a 20-cent piece on its neck. Using rings on the end of poles, we coaxed（哄诱）the koala down and put it in a carrier before having it examined. The wound needed a minor operation and, afterwards, the koala, who we named Claire, had to stay indoors to keep flies off the injury. Claire was frightened of me at first, but after four weeks I gained her trust. Finally, it was time for Claire to get ready to go outside and build up enough muscle movement to be released back into the wild. This was the most satisfying part of my job because not all koalas can be saved. I did miss them when they were gone, but I knew they were not meant to be pets. After the Black Summer fires destroyed so much of the country from 2019 to 2020, extinction for koalas is a very real possibility. For individuals, one of the easiest ways you can help koalas is leaving a dish of water in your backyard. It can save a life and that counts. 4. Why were the volunteer team called out？ A. To put out a big fire. B. To save a trapped koala. C. To search for missing animals. D. To clear the blackened bushland. 5. What can we learn about Claire？ A. It was afraid of flies. B. It got hurt by hunters. C. It needed a major operation. D. It developed trust in humans. 6. Which part of the job does the author find the most meaningful？ A. Sending rescued animals back to nature. B. Providing a shelter for wild animal. C. Curing the injured animals. D. Petting many wild animals. 7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph？ A. Humans are responsible for the big fire. B. Nothing can stop wildlife dying out. C. Small acts can make a big difference. D. Animals are human’s best friends. C For people who are deaf or hard of hearing, it can be difficult to pick out important sounds, such as knocks at the door or fire alarms. Now researchers at the University of Washington have developed a smartwatch app called SoundWatch, which identifies sounds and reminds users of them with a vibration and a visual readout. The project was led by Dhruv Jain, inspired by his own experience being hard of hearing. SoundWatch uses the smartwatch’s microphone to listen out for particular sounds, sends the data to a user’s connected phone for processing, then back to the watch to display in text what the sound is, and how loud it is. That’s accompanied by a vibration to tell the wearer that something has been detected. “This technology provides people with a way to experience sounds that require an action—such as getting food from the microwave when it beeps, which can improve people’s experiences and help them feel more connected to the world,” says Jain. “But it’s not perfect of course. The app sometimes gets it wrong, or takes too long to tell a user. However, these issues are being worked on.” Disability is highly personal, and Jain hopes his team can find ways for people to personalize this app for their own specific needs. For example, people can be told about the sounds they care about- a husband’s or wife’s voice versus general speech, the back door opening versus the front door opening, and more. 8. What does “them” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Researchers. B. Apps. C. Sounds. D. Fire alarms. 9. What is mainly discussed about SoundWatch in paragraph 2? A. How it works. B. Why it is invented. C. Who it is intended for. D. What it can detect. 10. Which word can best describe Jain’s attitude to SoundWatch? A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Disapproving. 11. What does Jain expect SoundWatch to be? A. Affordable. B. Personally tailored C. Multifunctional. D. Fashionably designed. D “Instagram (a social networking app) will cut out many users’ accounts on December 20. To protect your account, repost this warning #KeepMyAccountSafe#.” Every few months, it happens again — a dozen of such annoying posts from my kids and their friends suddenly start to appear on my Instagram. According to a new study by Stanford University, most kids don’t know what news is fake (假的). Researchers asked more than 7,800 middle school and high school students to complete 56 tasks, like telling the difference between an advertisement and a real news story on a website and determining which blog in a series was most reliable. Surprisingly, they found that students judged the credibility (可信性) of blogs based not on the source of the material, but on how much detail they contained, or whether a large photo was attached. “Many people assume that because young people are fluent in social media, they can recognize fake news, but our work shows the opposite to be true,” wrote lead study author Sam Wineburg, a professor at Stanford’s Graduate School of Education. Both Google and Facebook are now taking steps to control misleading news from making its way on their platforms, but they won’t be able to eliminate it completely. That is why it’s now more important than ever to teach our kids to think critically when it comes to believing various information sources. “In the coming months, we look forward to sharing our assessments and working with educators to create materials that will guide young people in the sea of disinformation they encounter online,” said Wineburg. 12. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage? A. By stating an opinion. B. By conducting a study. C. By explaining a saying. D. By quoting a post. 13. What determines the credibility of online information according to researchers? A. The source of the material. B. The popularity of the website. C. The amount of detail. D. The size of relevant photos. 14. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Download. B. Update. C. Rate. D. Remove. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Stronger Together: The Internet Changes Our Life B. Be Careful: Kids Are Bad at Identifying Fake News C. Reliable News Has No Place on Social Media D. Educators Have a Long Way to Go to Guide the Young 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。 Bill Gates started Microsoft when he was 19 and has since become one of the world’s wealthiest people.

When I was a teenager, I did any odd job to afford time in a recording studio. I knocked at managers’ doors and sent out demo (录音样带) after demo, but I got nowhere. In 2010, aged 27, I was doing a job in a restaurant when I wrote a song called Dream Goes On. It was a song about never giving up. I just let out all of my frustrations at the keyboard. Over the next five years, the music career never materialized but I persisted. Then, in 2019, I uploaded Dream Goes On to a music-sharing website. I just wanted someone to notice my music. Later that year, I received an email out of the blue from Music World from South Korea, requesting a license for the song. They had chosen my song from the millions on the music-sharing website for a theme tune for one of their shows. I was amazed and negotiated a contract for $5,000 for the use of the song and signed up straight away. I was pretty excited, but didn’t think anything more would come of it, so I focused on my job in the restaurant. This February, Music World organized a musical festival in Seoul and my song Dream Goes On was also chosen as the theme tune for the festival. I watched on YouTube as my song was being played to a huge crowd of people. It was amazing. After three days of the festival, I was contacted by Music World and they asked if I’d like to go to Seoul to sing Dream Goes On in a concert. They flew me out there the next day. I was welcomed like a celebrity—everyone I met thought I was a big name in England. I had to break the news to them that I wasn’t a pop star. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 I had never performed the song live, and hadn’t been on stage for years. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the concert, I had photographers and journalists battling to interview me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 襄阳四中2024级高一年级2月月考 英语试题 考试时间：2025年2月26日8:00—10:00 满分：150分 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 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?

One day, we were called out to rescue a koala that was stuck in a burning tree; but when the flames died down, we decided to return, thinking there could be other koalas that needed our help. Wade and I were walking through the blackened bushland with our team of volunteers when I spotted a koala on a burnt tree with a swollen and infected wound the size of a 20-cent piece on its neck. Using rings on the end of poles, we coaxed（哄诱）the koala down and put it in a carrier before having it examined. The wound needed a minor operation and, afterwards, the koala, who we named Claire, had to stay indoors to keep flies off the injury.

C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了作者和她的丈夫韦德负责管理南方考拉救援，记叙了一次拯救考拉的过程。作者希望大家爱护考拉。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“One day, we were called out to rescue a koala that was stuck in a burning tree”（有一天，我们奉命去营救一只被困在燃烧的树上的考拉）可知，志愿团队出去是为了拯救考拉。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Claire was frightened of me at first, but after four weeks I gained her trust.”（克莱尔一开始很怕我，但四周后我获得了她的信任。）可知，克莱尔对人类产生了信任。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Finally, it was time for Claire to get ready to go outside and build up enough muscle movement to be released back into the wild. This was the most satisfying part of my job because not all koalas can be saved.”（终于，到了克莱尔准备外出锻炼肌肉的时候了，这样她就可以被放归野外了，这是我工作中最令人满意的部分，因为不是所有的考拉都能被拯救。）可推断，作者认为将获救的动物送回大自然最有意义。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“For individuals, one of the easiest ways you can help koalas is leaving a dish of water in your backyard. It can save a life and that counts.”（对于个体来说，帮助考拉最简单的方法之一就是在后院放一盘水，它可以拯救生命，这很重要。）可推断，人们一个小小的行为也会发挥很大的作用。故选C项。 C For people who are deaf or hard of hearing, it can be difficult to pick out important sounds, such as knocks at the door or fire alarms. Now researchers at the University of Washington have developed a smartwatch app called SoundWatch, which identifies sounds and reminds users of them with a vibration and a visual readout. The project was led by Dhruv Jain, inspired by his own experience being hard of hearing. SoundWatch uses the smartwatch’s microphone to listen out for particular sounds, sends the data to a user’s connected phone for processing, then back to the watch to display in text what the sound is, and how loud it is. That’s accompanied by a vibration to tell the wearer that something has been detected. “This technology provides people with a way to experience sounds that require an action—such as getting food from the microwave when it beeps, which can improve people’s experiences and help them feel more connected to the world,” says Jain. “But it’s not perfect of course. The app sometimes gets it wrong, or takes too long to tell a user. However, these issues are being worked on.” Disability is highly personal, and Jain hopes his team can find ways for people to personalize this app for their own specific needs. For example, people can be told about the sounds they care about- a husband’s or wife’s voice versus general speech, the back door opening versus the front door opening, and more. 8. What does “them” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Researchers. B. Apps. C. Sounds. D. Fire alarms. 9. What is mainly discussed about SoundWatch in paragraph 2? A. How it works. B. Why it is invented. C. Who it is intended for. D. What it can detect. 10. Which word can best describe Jain’s attitude to SoundWatch? A. Doubtful. B. Critical. C. Objective. D. Disapproving. 11. What does Jain expect SoundWatch to be? A. Affordable. B. Personally tailored C. Multifunctional. D. Fashionably designed. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了华盛顿大学的研究人员开发了一款名为SoundWatch的智能手表应用程序，它可以识别声音，并通过震动和视觉读出器来提醒耳聋或听力有障碍的人一些比如敲门声或火警警报等重要的声音。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“Now researchers at the University of Washington have developed a smartwatch app called SoundWatch, which identifies sounds”可知，现在，华盛顿大学的研究人员开发了一款名为SoundWatch的智能手表应用程序，它可以识别声音，此处承接上文，是说该应用程序还可以通过震动和视觉读出器来提醒用户这些声音。故them指的就是“声音”。故选C。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The project was led by Dhruv Jain, inspired by his own experience being hard of hearing. SoundWatch uses the smartwatch’s microphone to listen out for particular sounds, sends the data to a user’s connected phone for processing, then back to the watch to display in text what the sound is, and how loud it is. That’s accompanied by a vibration to tell the wearer that something has been detected.(这个项目是由Dhruv Jain领导的，他的灵感来自于自己有听力障碍的经历。SoundWatch使用智能手表的麦克风监听特定的声音，将数据发送到用户连接的手机进行处理，然后返回到手表，以文本形式显示声音是什么，音量有多大。它还会伴有振动，告诉佩戴者有东西被探测到)”可知，第二段主要介绍的是SoundWatch的工作原理。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““This technology provides people with a way to experience sounds that require an action—such as getting food from the microwave when it beeps, which can improve people’s experiences and help them feel more connected to the world,” says Jain. “But it’s not perfect of course. The app sometimes gets it wrong, or takes too long to tell a user. However, these issues are being worked on.”(“这项技术为人们提供了一种体验声音的方式，这种声音需要一种行动，比如当微波炉发出“哔”的声音时从它那里拿食物，这可以改善人们的体验，帮助他们感觉与世界的联系更紧密，”Jain说。“但这当然不是完美的。应用程序有时会出错，或者花太长时间告诉用户。然而，这些问题正在解决”)”可推知，Jain说明了SoundWatch的优点和缺点，对“SoundWatch”持客观态度。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Disability is highly personal, and Jain hopes his team can find ways for people to personalize this app for their own specific needs.( 残疾是高度个人化的，Jain希望他的团队能够找到方法，让人们根据自己的特定需求定制这款应用程序)”可知，Jain希望SoundWatch可以个人定制。故选B。 D “Instagram (a social networking app) will cut out many users’ accounts on December 20. To protect your account repost this warning #KeepMyAccountSafe#.” Every few months, it happens again — a dozen of such annoying posts from my kids and their friends suddenly start to appear on my Instagram. According to a new study by Stanford University, most kids don’t know what news is fake (假的). Researchers asked more than 7,800 middle school and high school students to complete 56 tasks, like telling the difference between an advertisement and a real news story on a website and determining which blog in a series was most reliable. Surprisingly, they found that students judged the credibility (可信性) of blogs based not on the source of the material, but on how much detail they contained, or whether a large photo was attached. “Many people assume that because young people are fluent in social media, they can recognize fake news, but our work shows the opposite to be true,” wrote lead study author Sam Wineburg, a professor at Stanford’s Graduate School of Education. Both Google and Facebook are now taking steps to control misleading news from making its way on their platforms, but they won’t be able to eliminate it completely. That is why it’s now more important than ever to teach our kids to think critically when it comes to believing various information sources. “In the coming months, we look forward to sharing our assessments and working with educators to create materials that will guide young people in the sea of disinformation they encounter online,” said Wineburg. 12. How does the author introduce the topic of the passage? A. By stating an opinion. B. By conducting a study. C. By explaining a saying. D. By quoting a post. 13. What determines the credibility of online information according to researchers? A. The source of the material. B. The popularity of the website. C. The amount of detail. D. The size of relevant photos. 14. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Download. B. Update. C. Rate. D. Remove. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Stronger Together: The Internet Changes Our Life B. Be Careful: Kids Are Bad at Identifying Fake News C. Reliable News Has No Place on Social Media D. Educators Have a Long Way to Go to Guide the Young 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了斯坦福大学的一项新研究发现，大多数孩子不知道什么新闻是假的。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段““Instagram (a social networking app) will cut out many users’ accounts on December 20. To protect your account, repost this warning #KeepMyAccountSafe.” Every few months, it happens again-a dozen of annoying posts from my kids’ friends suddenly start to appear on my Instagram news feed.(“12月20日，社交网络应用Instagram将删除许多用户的账户。为了保护你的账户，请转发这个警告#KeepMyAccountSafe。”每隔几个月，这种情况就会再次发生——孩子们的朋友们发布的十几条烦人的帖子会突然出现在我的Instagram信息流中)”以及第二段中的“According to a new study by Stanford University, most kids don’t know what news is fake( 假的). (根据斯坦福大学的一项新研究，大多数孩子不知道什么新闻是假的)”可推知，作者通过引用一篇帖子来引出文章的主题。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。推理判断题。根据第二段中“According to a new study by Stanford University, most kids don’t know what news is false.(根据斯坦福大学的一项新研究，大多数孩子不知道什么新闻是假的)”和“They found that students judged the credibility of blogs based not on the source of the material, but on how much detail they contained, or whether a large photo was attached.(他们发现，学生们判断博客的可信度不是基于材料的来源，而是基于它们包含多少细节，或者是否附有一张大照片)”可知，研究人员认为，大多数孩子不知道什么新闻是假的，是因为他们判断博客的可信度不是基于材料的来源。由此推知，决定网络信息可信度的是材料的来源。故选A。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词所在的句子“Both Google and Facebook are now taking steps to control misleading news from making its way on their platforms, but they won’t be able to eliminate it completely.(谷歌和Facebook现在都在采取措施控制误导性新闻在他们的平台上传播，但他们不可能完全eliminate这些新闻)”可知，but表示转折，说明谷歌和Facebook不可能完全消除这些新闻。画线词意思为“消除”。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“According to a new study by Stanford University, most kids don’t know what news is fake.(根据斯坦福大学的一项新研究，大多数孩子不知道什么新闻是假的)”结合文章介绍了这项研究开展的过程以及发现，研究人员指出应当教我们的孩子在相信各种信息来源时进行批判性思考。可知，B选项（小心：孩子们不擅长识别假新闻）最符合文章标题。故选B。 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。 Bill Gates started Microsoft when he was 19 and has since become one of the world’s wealthiest people.

What do these three people have in common?(比尔·盖茨在19岁时创办了微软公司，并成为世界上最富有的人之一。马克·扎克伯格拥有美国最有价值的科技公司之一。史蒂夫·乔布斯在自己的车库里创建了苹果公司。这三个人有什么共同点？)”以及后文“In fact, there are countless others who have started successful businesses without first earning a bachelor’s degree.(事实上，还有无数的人在没有获得学士学位的情况下就成功地创业了)”可知，本句回答上文提出的问题，即三个人的共同点是他们都没有读完大学。A选项中They指代上文Bill Gates、Mark Zuckerberg和Steve Jobs。故A选项“他们都没有读完大学”符合语境，故选A。 【17题详解】 根据后文“The short answer is “YES”, despite the fact that it is possible to succeed without a degree. But the longer answer is that succeeding without a degree-especially to the level that Gates, Zuckerberg, and Jobs did-is the exception, not the general rule.(简短的回答是“是的”，尽管没有学位也可能成功。但更长远的答案是，没有学位的成功——尤其是达到盖茨、扎克伯格和乔布斯那样的水平——是例外，而不是普遍规律)”可知，后文提到“回答”说明本句是在对针对大学学位进行提问。故E选项“在当今世界，大学学位仍然是必要的吗？”符合语境，故选E。 【18题详解】 根据上文“The short answer is “YES”, despite the fact that it is possible to succeed without a degree. But the longer answer is that succeeding without a degree-especially to the level that Gates, Zuckerberg, and Jobs did-is the exception, not the general rule.(简短的回答是“是的”，尽管没有学位也可能成功。但更长远的答案是，没有学位的成功——尤其是达到盖茨、扎克伯格和乔布斯那样的水平——是例外，而不是普遍规律)”可知，上文提到没有学位的成功是例外，不是普遍规律，说明对于大多数人来说，获得大学学位是有必要的。故G选项“对于大多数人来说，获得大学学位仍然给他们带来明显的优势”符合语境，故选G。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Let’s look at some statistics. Through 2021, there will be 55 million job openings in America.(让我们来看看一些统计数据。到2021年，美国将有5500万个职位空缺)”以及后文“Even when a job does not require it, 91 percent of jobs actually go to people who have one.(即使一份工作不需要它，实际上91%的工作都是由拥有它的人来做的)”可知，本段主要在说明美国的工作普遍要求有大学学位，F选项中those指代上文中55 million job openings。故F选项“75%的职位需要大学学位”符合语境，故选F。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Needless to say, people with bachelor’s degrees are more likely to be employed and have a higher paying job. Hence, they are more financially secure.

When I was a teenager, I did any odd job to afford time in a recording studio. I knocked at managers’ doors and sent out demo (录音样带) after demo, but I got nowhere. In 2010, aged 27, I was doing a job in a restaurant when I wrote a song called Dream Goes On. It was a song about never giving up. I just let out all of my frustrations at the keyboard. Over the next five years, the music career never materialized but I persisted. Then, in 2019, I uploaded Dream Goes On to a music-sharing website. I just wanted someone to notice my music. Later that year, I received an email out of the blue from Music World from South Korea, requesting a license for the song. They had chosen my song from the millions on the music-sharing website for a theme tune for one of their shows. I was amazed and negotiated a contract for $5,000 for the use of the song and signed up straight away. I was pretty excited, but didn’t think anything more would come of it, so I focused on my job in the restaurant. This February, Music World organized a musical festival in Seoul and my song Dream Goes On was also chosen as the theme tune for the festival. I watched on YouTube as my song was being played to a huge crowd of people. It was amazing. After three days of the festival, I was contacted by Music World and they asked if I’d like to go to Seoul to sing Dream Goes On in a concert. They flew me out there the next day. I was welcomed like a celebrity—everyone I met thought I was a big name in England. I had to break the news to them that I wasn’t a pop star. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 I had never performed the song live, and hadn’t been on stage for years. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After the concert, I had photographers and journalists battling to interview me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I had never performed the song live, and hadn’t been on stage for years. Seized by a strong sense of tension, I stood on the stage, seeing the huge cheers and a sea of lights below the stage. I was lost at the moment, holding the microphone tightly. I tried my best to collect myself and began to sing my own song which I had practiced hundreds of times. Looking back the years I had experienced as I sang on the stage, I realized that it is the opportunity that I had been waiting for the whole life. I kept myself full of enthusiasm as I was singing on the stage, showing the best to the audience. After the concert, I had photographers and journalists battling to interview me. With them around me, a long queue of fans were waiting to have their photograph taken with me. I was like a superstar and that night was like a real dream for me. I had knocked on doors for years, yet my moment came when the opportunity called me. Life can surprise you. It has reinspired my passion for music. This has made all the odd jobs and weekends spent in recording studios all worthwhile. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者自创的歌Dream Goes On为线索，讲述了作者成为一名音乐家的经历。作者之前的音乐追梦之旅并不顺畅，当时在餐馆工作的作者写了一首歌，五年后发布在网上，意外走红，回顾一路走来，虽然吃了很多苦头，但是这一回报的时刻让作者觉得之前的苦头都是值得的。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我从来没有现场演奏过这首歌，我也已经很多年没有登上舞台了。”可知，本段可以写作者在舞台上感到很紧张，努力让自己平静下来后，作者开始演唱自己的歌。演唱时，作者不禁回忆起了这些年来的辛苦，顿时觉得此时就是自己等待多年的机会。 ②由第二段首句内容“演唱会过后，记者和摄影师相拥采访我。”可知，本段可以写演唱会结束后，被粉丝、记者围绕的感觉让作者觉得自己就像是做梦一样以及作者的感悟，觉得这么多年的努力终究是值得的。 2.续写线索：在舞台上无比紧张——努力平静下来，开始表演——边唱歌便回忆起多年来的辛苦——觉得此刻就是自己等待多年的机会——演唱会结束后，作者被相拥采访——作者觉得就像做梦一样——作者的感悟。 3.词类激活： 行为类： ①握住：hold/take hold of ②经历：experience/go through ③某人意识到：sb. realize that.../sb. be aware that... 情绪类： ①紧张：tension/nervousness ②冷静：collect oneself/calm…down 【点睛】【高分句型1】Seized by a strong sense of tension, I stood on the stage, seeing the huge cheers and a sea of lights below the stage.(运用了过去分词短语和现在分词短语作状语) 【高分句型2】I tried my best to collect myself and began to sing my own song which I had practiced hundreds of times.(运用了which引导的限制性定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
