Here are a few volunteer opportunities for you to take up. Care for pets Animal shelters and homeless shelters are the best places for animal lovers. A typical day volunteering at an animal shelter would involve helping with the adoption process, feeding animals and cleaning up after animals. Participate in a beach cleanup Teens can associate with a local environmental organization for a beach preservation. This is a great way to learn about ecology and contribute to its improvement in a hands-on manner. The opportunity involves outdoor activities and is a good platform to connect with green advocates. Volunteer at a summer camp A job as a ‘Counselor-in-Training’ is a great fit for teens. It teaches them organization skills by training under experts. Teenagers can learn communication skills and benefit from the real-time feedback from children and parents. It is also an excellent opportunity to learn outdoor support skills, such as CPR and first aid. Volunteer at a local hospital Local hospitals are always on the lookout for a helping hand. Whether it’s chatting with residents, greeting visitors or transporting patients to the cafeteria, a little help goes a long way! A few hospitals may have an age limit and require volunteers to get basic training and commit their time each week. 1. Which volunteer opportunity suits environmentalists best? A. Care for pets. B. Volunteer at a local hospital. C. Volunteer at a summer camp. D. Participate in a beach cleanup. 2. What can volunteers benefit from a job at a summer camp? A. They can acquire essential emergency medical skills. B. They can receive guidance from biologists. C. They can progress in academic performance. D. They can gain independence in outdoor activities. 3. What is special about volunteering at a local hospital? A. It welcomes volunteers of all ages. B. It may involve interactions with doctors. C. It may call for weekly time devotion. D. It focuses on transporting patients. B I was sitting in a chemistry lab class during my first year of university, nervous about the experiment we were to perform. I grabbed a pipette and, as I feared, my hand started to shake. The experience was disheartening. I was hoping to pursue a career in science, but I started to wonder whether that would be possible. I thought my dreams had crashed to the ground. I was a boy born with brain damage. My family managed to find good doctors where we lived, in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), Russia, and I took part in clinical trials testing new treatments. Shortly after my first birthday, I started walking and it became clear my intelligence function was unaffected. So, in some sense, I was lucky. Still, I couldn’t do some things growing up. Both hands shook, especially when I was nervous or embarrassed. My left hand was much worse than my right, so I learned to write and do simple tasks with my right hand, but it wasn’t easy to do anything precisely. As a teenager, I faced a lot of bullying at school. Feeling alone, I joined a study group called “The natural world”. I thought that getting into the world of animals would keep me away from people. That’s how I came into the field of biology. At university, I enjoyed the lectures in my science classes. Many lab tasks proved impossible, however. As I struggled with my mood, I read a book about depression. From then on, the physiology of mental disorders became my scientific passion. I looked into what was being done locally and was excited to discover a lab that did behavioral experiments in rats to study depression. At the end of my second year, I approached the professor of the lab to see whether I could work with her. I was afraid to admit I couldn’t do some lab tasks. To my relief, she was completely supportive. She set me to work performing behavioral experiments for others in the lab with the help of colleagues. I loved the supportive atmosphere and stayed there to complete my master’s and Ph.D. I’ve come to realize that my hands aren’t the barrier I thought they were. By making use of my abilities and working as part of a team, I’ve been able to follow my passions. I’ve also realized that there’s much more to being a scientist than performing the physical labor. I may not collect all the data in my papers, but I’m fully capable of designing experiments and interpreting results, which, to me, is the most exciting part of science. 4. What was the author’s dream? A To live a normal life. B. To become a scientist. C. To get a master’s degree. D. To recover from depression. 5. The author said he was lucky in Paragraph 2 because _______. A. he didn’t lose the function of both hands B. he learned how to walk at the age of one C. his family could afford to see good doctors D. his brain damage didn’t affect his intellectual capacity 6. What can you learn from the passage? A. The team in the lab urged him to further his study. B. The author finally finished the lab tasks on his own. C. The author’s experience inspired him to help others. D. The author’s loneliness led him to the world of biology. 7. What message does the author want to express? A. Loving yourself makes a difference. B Opportunity follows prepared people. C. A bright future begins with a small dream. D. The sun somehow shines through the storm. C People are already paying more and more for food due to global warming — and rising temperatures will drive food prices a lot higher in the next decade. According to a study by the European Central Bank, by 2035, higher temperatures alone will be pushing up worldwide food prices by between 0.9% and 3.2% every single year. To find out how this is affecting food prices, Maximilian Kotz at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and his colleagues examined data on the monthly prices and weather conditions in 121 countries between 1996 and 2021. By looking for associations between food prices and factors such as the average monthly temperature, temperature changes, and measures of drought and extreme rainfall, they found a strong link between the average temperature and the food prices a month or so later. In regions north of 40 degrees, like the latitude (纬度) of New York City and Beijing, warmer-than-average temperatures during winter led to falling food prices. But above-average temperatures increased food prices in summer and at all times in the rest of the world. “The study didn’t look at why prices rose, but the likely explanation is that extreme heat is reducing yields,’’ Kotz says. “Crops may be drying out on the vine (藤) when they should be being harvested.’’ Factors such as extreme rainfall had less impact on food prices than average temperatures. This may be because flooding tends to be localized, while above-average temperatures can be very widespread. Other studies have reached similar conclusions. Kotz’s team then went further by investigating how food prices could change based on average temperature rises in climate model prediction. In the worst situation, global food inflation (食品通胀) due to climate change goes over 4% per year by 2060. “We need to be aware of the fact that climate change brings huge new challenges for food security,’’ says Kotz. “Warming-fueled extreme weather is increasingly affecting food production around the world. If farmers don’t adapt their practices to better cope with rising temperatures, the losses will become more serious.’’ 8. What does the study focus on? A. The impact of climate change on food prices. B. The factors in the rising living costs. C. The effects of natural disasters on food production. D. The comparison of food prices in different regions. 9. How did researchers reach their conclusions? A. By conducting a survey among farmers. B. By referring to previous studies. C. By tracking some cities for years. D. By analyzing a mass of data. 10. What is the main reason for the rising food prices according to Kotz? A. Frequent rainfall. B. Extreme high temperature. C. The increasing demand for crops. D. The influence of trade policies. 11. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To call on people to pay attention to food security. B. To urge farmers to take actions to deal with the climate issue. C. To predict the loss caused by the heat wave. D. To explain the situation of global food inflation. D Advocates of AI chatbots in educational settings say the tools can assist in activities like brainstorming — or help students get started on tough math problems. But many teachers say their students are short of the skills to improve upon what AI produces, or the maturity (成熟) and self-awareness to know where the work of AI ends and their own responsibility begins. A 2024 study of nearly 1,000 high school students put the matter to a test: 9th, 10th, and 11th graders attended a brief math lesson, then practised solving related problems in preparation for a quiz. Some relied on traditional methods — consulting their notes and textbooks to find possible answers — while others had access to a basic version or a tutor version (辅导版) of ChatGPT. The results were a success of technology — until they weren’t. Students using the basic and tutor GPTs scored an astonishing 48 percent and 127 percent better than their peers during the practices, respectively, but when the same students went to get back the information from their memory during a follow-up closed-book test, their math skills had disappeared. Test performance of the students who had used the basic version of ChatGPT dropped so sharply that they scored 17 percent below their peers who had relied on pen and paper. Given the opportunity, students used the software as a “crutch” and often skipped straight to the answer, the researchers concluded. When applied at key moments, the technology actually “runs the risk of blocking learning.” But ChatGPT and other similar AI tools aren’t out of the game. In several studies, the tools performed well when designed to guide student learning-by refusing to give away answers, for example, or asking in-depth follow-up questions. AI is making rapid progress, but isn’t a threat to replace teachers. For now, it’s only as smart as its human makers. 12. What is a problem of students when using AI chatbots? A. They are not aware of how AI chatbots work. B. They lack the ability to employ AI effectively. C. They are incapable of improving AI chatbots. D They refuse to take their own responsibility. 13. How did GPT users perform compared to students using traditional methods? A. Basic GPT users performed best during the practices. B. Tutor GPT users scored 127% better during the test. C. Basic GPT users’ performance dropped during the test. D. Tutor GPT users scored 17% lower during the practices. 14. What does the underlined word “crutch” mean in paragraph 3? A. A device to help people walk. B. A strategy to deepen learning. C. A tool to improve math skills. D. A shortcut to find quick answers. 15. What are AI tools expected to do in education setting? A. Enhance students’ thinking ability. B. Follow AI designers’ instructions. C. Give in-depth answers instantly. D. Replace traditional teaching methods. 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。 To get the most out of literary works, one must approach them with intention and skill.

At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs. Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing. Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me. It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary. That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks. After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us. 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。 One day, however, Mary came with good news. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 柘荣县第一中学高二(下) 开学考测试卷 英语 (考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分) 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 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。 1．What will Marie major in most probably?

To my relief, she was completely supportive. She set me to work performing behavioral experiments for others in the lab with the help of colleagues. I loved the supportive atmosphere and stayed there to complete my master’s and Ph.D. I’ve come to realize that my hands aren’t the barrier I thought they were. By making use of my abilities and working as part of a team, I’ve been able to follow my passions. I’ve also realized that there’s much more to being a scientist than performing the physical labor. I may not collect all the data in my papers, but I’m fully capable of designing experiments and interpreting results, which, to me, is the most exciting part of science. 4. What was the author’s dream? A. To live a normal life. B. To become a scientist. C. To get a master’s degree. D. To recover from depression. 5. The author said he was lucky in Paragraph 2 because _______.

I may not collect all the data in my papers, but I’m fully capable of designing experiments and interpreting results, which, to me, is the most exciting part of science.(我开始意识到，我的手并不像我想象的那样是障碍。通过发挥我的能力并作为团队的一员工作，我能够追随我的激情。我也意识到，作为一名科学家，除了体力劳动，还有更多的事情要做。我可能不会在我的论文中收集所有的数据，但我完全有能力设计实验并解释结果，这对我来说是科学中最令人兴奋的部分)”可知，作者经历了重重困难，最终实现了自己的梦想，所以作者想表达的是“阳光总会穿过暴风雨”。故选D。 C People are already paying more and more for food due to global warming — and rising temperatures will drive food prices a lot higher in the next decade. According to a study by the European Central Bank, by 2035, higher temperatures alone will be pushing up worldwide food prices by between 0.9% and 3.2% every single year. To find out how this is affecting food prices, Maximilian Kotz at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and his colleagues examined data on the monthly prices and weather conditions in 121 countries between 1996 and 2021. By looking for associations between food prices and factors such as the average monthly temperature, temperature changes, and measures of drought and extreme rainfall, they found a strong link between the average temperature and the food prices a month or so later. In regions north of 40 degrees, like the latitude (纬度) of New York City and Beijing, warmer-than-average temperatures during winter led to falling food prices. But above-average temperatures increased food prices in summer and at all times in the rest of the world. “The study didn’t look at why prices rose, but the likely explanation is that extreme heat is reducing yields,’’ Kotz says. “Crops may be drying out on the vine (藤) when they should be being harvested.’’ Factors such as extreme rainfall had less impact on food prices than average temperatures. This may be because flooding tends to be localized, while above-average temperatures can be very widespread. Other studies have reached similar conclusions. Kotz’s team then went further by investigating how food prices could change based on average temperature rises in climate model prediction. In the worst situation, global food inflation (食品通胀) due to climate change goes over 4% per year by 2060. “We need to be aware of the fact that climate change brings huge new challenges for food security,’’ says Kotz. “Warming-fueled extreme weather is increasingly affecting food production around the world. If farmers don’t adapt their practices to better cope with rising temperatures, the losses will become more serious.’’ 8. What does the study focus on? A. The impact of climate change on food prices. B. The factors in the rising living costs. C. The effects of natural disasters on food production. D. The comparison of food prices in different regions. 9. How did researchers reach their conclusions? A. By conducting a survey among farmers. B. By referring to previous studies. C. By tracking some cities for years. D. By analyzing a mass of data. 10. What is the main reason for the rising food prices according to Kotz? A. Frequent rainfall. B. Extreme high temperature. C. The increasing demand for crops. D. The influence of trade policies. 11. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To call on people to pay attention to food security. B. To urge farmers to take actions to deal with the climate issue. C. To predict the loss caused by the heat wave. D. To explain the situation of global food inflation. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究表明由于全球变暖，全球粮食价格上升。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“According to a study by the European Central Bank, by 2035, higher temperatures alone will be pushing up worldwide food prices by between 0.9% and 3.2% every single year.(根据欧洲央行的一项研究，到2035年，仅气温升高一项就将使全球粮食价格每年上涨0.9%至3.2%)”以及第二段“To find out how this is affecting food prices, Maximilian Kotz at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and his colleagues examined data on the monthly prices and weather conditions in 121 countries between 1996 and 2021.(为了了解这是如何影响食品价格的，波茨坦气候影响研究所的马克西米利安·科茨和他的同事研究了1996年至2021年间121个国家的月度价格和天气状况数据)”可知，欧洲央行的一项研究表明气温升高使得全球粮食价格上涨，科茨和他的同事进行的研究是为了了解气温升高如何影响食品价格，即研究的重点是气候变化对全球粮食价格的影响。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To find out how this is affecting food prices, Maximilian Kotz at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and his colleagues examined data on the monthly prices and weather conditions in 121 countries between 1996 and 2021.

If farmers don’t adapt their practices to better cope with rising temperatures, the losses will become more serious.’’(科茨说：“我们需要意识到，气候变化给粮食安全带来了巨大的新挑战。变暖引发的极端天气越来越多地影响着世界各地的粮食生产。如果农民不调整他们的做法来更好地应对气温上升，损失将变得更加严重。”)”可知，作者引用科茨所说的话，如果农民不调整他们的做法来更好地应对气温上升，损失将变得更加严重，由此可推知，作者在最后一段意在敦促农民采取行动应对气候问题。故选B。 D Advocates of AI chatbots in educational settings say the tools can assist in activities like brainstorming — or help students get started on tough math problems. But many teachers say their students are short of the skills to improve upon what AI produces, or the maturity (成熟) and self-awareness to know where the work of AI ends and their own responsibility begins. A 2024 study of nearly 1,000 high school students put the matter to a test: 9th, 10th, and 11th graders attended a brief math lesson, then practised solving related problems in preparation for a quiz. Some relied on traditional methods — consulting their notes and textbooks to find possible answers — while others had access to a basic version or a tutor version (辅导版) of ChatGPT. The results were a success of technology — until they weren’t. Students using the basic and tutor GPTs scored an astonishing 48 percent and 127 percent better than their peers during the practices, respectively, but when the same students went to get back the information from their memory during a follow-up closed-book test, their math skills had disappeared. Test performance of the students who had used the basic version of ChatGPT dropped so sharply that they scored 17 percent below their peers who had relied on pen and paper. Given the opportunity, students used the software as a “crutch” and often skipped straight to the answer, the researchers concluded. When applied at key moments, the technology actually “runs the risk of blocking learning.” But ChatGPT and other similar AI tools aren’t out of the game. In several studies, the tools performed well when designed to guide student learning-by refusing to give away answers, for example, or asking in-depth follow-up questions. AI is making rapid progress, but isn’t a threat to replace teachers. For now, it’s only as smart as its human makers. 12. What is a problem of students when using AI chatbots? A. They are not aware of how AI chatbots work. B. They lack the ability to employ AI effectively. C. They are incapable of improving AI chatbots. D. They refuse to take their own responsibility. 13. How did GPT users perform compared to students using traditional methods? A. Basic GPT users performed best during the practices. B. Tutor GPT users scored 127% better during the test. C. Basic GPT users’ performance dropped during the test. D. Tutor GPT users scored 17% lower during the practices. 14 What does the underlined word “crutch” mean in paragraph 3? A. A device to help people walk. B. A strategy to deepen learning. C. A tool to improve math skills. D. A shortcut to find quick answers. 15. What are AI tools expected to do in education setting? A. Enhance students’ thinking ability. B. Follow AI designers’ instructions. C. Give in-depth answers instantly. D. Replace traditional teaching methods. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在教育环境中使用AI聊天机器人(如ChatGPT)的利弊，指出学生在使用AI时存在的问题，并通过一项研究揭示了AI辅助学习可能带来的风险，同时也强调了AI在正确引导学生学习方面的潜力。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“But many teachers say their students are short of the skills to improve upon what AI produces, or the maturity (成熟) and self-awareness to know where the work of AI ends and their own responsibility begins. (但许多教师表示，他们的学生缺乏改进AI生成内容的能力，或者缺乏成熟度和自我意识，无法分辨AI的工作在哪里结束，自己的责任从哪里开始)”可知，学生在使用AI聊天机器人时缺乏改进AI生成内容的能力，不知道哪里该自己负责，由此推知，他们缺乏有效使用人工智能的能力。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Students using the basic and tutor GPTs scored an astonishing 48 percent and 127 percent better than their peers during the practices, respectively, but when the same students went to get back the information from their memory during a follow-up closed-book test, their math skills had disappeared. Test performance of the students who had used the basic version of ChatGPT dropped so sharply that they scored 17 percent below their peers who had relied on pen and paper. (在练习中，使用基础版和辅导版GPT的学生分别比同龄人高出48%和127%，但当这些学生在随后的闭卷测试中从记忆中回忆信息时，他们的数学技能却消失了。使用过基础版ChatGPT的学生的测试成绩下降得如此之快，以至于比那些依赖纸笔的同龄人低了17%)”可知，在练习中使用GPT的学生在后续测试中表现下降，尤其是基础版GPT用户的表现下降明显。故选C项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“and often skipped straight to the answer”(并且经常直接跳到答案)和“When applied at key moments, the technology actually ‘runs the risk of blocking learning.’ (在关键时刻应用时，这项技术实际上“有阻碍学习的风险”)”可推知，“crutch”在文中是比喻用法，指学生将AI聊天机器人作为“避免自主思考、快速获取答案的捷径”，而非真正辅助学习的工具。故划线词意思是“寻找快速答案的捷径”，与“A shortcut to find quick answers.”同义。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In several studies, the tools performed well when designed to guide student learning-by refusing to give away answers, for example, or asking in-depth follow-up questions. (在几项研究中，当这些工具被设计成引导学生学习时，它们表现良好，例如，拒绝给出答案，或者提出深入的后续问题)”可知，当AI工具被设计成引导学生学习时表现良好。由此推知，在教育环境中AI工具被期望能够引导学生思考，增强他们的思维能力。故选A项。 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。 To get the most out of literary works, one must approach them with intention and skill.

At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs. Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing. Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me. It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary. That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks. After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us. 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。 One day, however, Mary came with good news. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One day, however, Mary came with good news. She told Jane the school music festival was to be held the next month and that her classmates all expected her to sing on behalf of her class. Jane’s eyes sparkled but responded doubtfully, “Can I...?” Mary and I immediately assured her that she could make it. In the following month, with the help of Mary, Jane kept on practicing singing. Beautiful songs echoed in our house again and smiles began to appear on her face. Finally the big day came when she could present herself. When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. Jane was greeted with warm applause. As she began to sing, the audience got absorbed in her beautiful voice. Seconds after her performance, all the audience rose with thunderous cheers. When wheeled off stage, Jane received praise and bunches of flowers from her teachers and classmates. Jane was moved to tears. The kindness and encouragement from her teachers and classmates stimulated Jane’s enthusiasm for life, making her regain confidence in pursuing her original dream, which I will support wholeheartedly. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的女儿简梦想成为歌手，在她的音乐老师玛丽的帮助下，简为了她的梦想努力取得进步。突然有一天，简遭遇了车祸，以后都不能自己站起来了，必须坐轮椅四处走动，简再也没有提过唱歌的话题。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，有一天，玛丽带来了好消息。”可知，第一段可描写玛丽告诉简希望她代表班级唱歌，简在玛丽的帮助下继续练习，终于可以展示自己了。 ②由第二段首句内容“当主持人宣布轮到简时，她被推上了舞台。”可知，第二段可描写简的歌声得到了老师和同学们的赞扬，简重新找回了最初追求梦想的信心。 2.续写线索：好消息——简怀疑自己——练习唱歌——开始表演——得到赞扬——找到信心 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①希望：expect/hope/wish ②回答：respond/reply/answer ③保证：assure/guarantee/ensure 情绪类 ①眼睛闪闪发光：eyes sparkle/eyes glitter ②感动：move/touch 【点睛】[高分句型1]As she began to sing, the audience got absorbed in her beautiful voice.（由连接词as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2]The kindness and encouragement from her teachers and classmates stimulated Jane’s enthusiasm for life, making her regain confidence in pursuing her original dream, which I will support wholeheartedly.（由关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
