SIK: Why do you think you were chosen to be the captain of the Bruins? BM: I think I was chosen to be a captain for the Bruins because we have a very unique culture around here. We have had some incredible leaders in the past, and there are very high expectations. I think we also could have had multiple guys that could have been a captain this year. I am very, very excited and fortunate to be named captain. SIK: Were you a leader as a kid? BM: I was a leader at times. There were times when I think I could have been a better leader. I learned how to be a leader, really, the last 10 years because I have had incredible leaders around me, and I really wanted to learn from them. I became a much better leader as I got older. SIK: Who is your favourite leader outside of the Bruins? BM: Sid Crosby is a great leader. I played with him a short time and I’ve known him for a long time now. He is an incredible leader. Jonathan Toews was probably the most prepared leader at a young age that I have seen. He came in as a captain very young in his career. I was very impressed with how great of a leader he was. SIK: What advice do you have for kids who want to be a leader? BM: It is very easy to get caught up in being shy or being nervous or trying to be cool within groups of people. Always be cautious about doing the right thing. I think a big thing is to make sure that you are always doing the right thing, helping people out regardless of whether your friends think it’s cool or not. You always want to be there to stand up for people that can’t stand up for themselves. 1. What does BM feel about himself as a leader? A. Incredible. B. Stressful. C. Confident. D. Incompetent. 2. What do we know about Jonathan Toews? A. He once played with BM. B. He became a leader at a young age. C. He is the most successful player. D. He has learnt from BM. 3.

B Dad’s comb(梳子)was jade green. I heard he bought it when he married Mum, which made the comb two years older than I was. Every night, he would smile, hand me the comb and say, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, Ok? ” I was more than happy to do it. At age five this simple task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap(水龙头)on, then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me and place the comb on top of his wallet. About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. He didn’t come home as much as he used to — just a couple of times a week. And when he did come home, it was always late and I’d already be in bed. I started to get mad. I stopped waiting for him to come home, and stopped going downstairs to check on him. Today, I’m no longer a kid. I’ve graduated from college and got a job. Dad’s business has got back on track. Things are better now. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me persisted. Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. As usual, I helped him carry his bags into his study. When I turned to leave, he said, “Hey, would you like to help me clean my comb?” I looked at him a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink. I passed the clean comb back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something different. My dad has aged. He has wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiles, yet his smile is still as heartwarming as before. The smile of a father who just wants a good life for his family. Dad carefully placed his comb on top of his wallet. After so many years, he still organizes his personal items in the same careful way. I guess some things never change. And for that, I’m glad. 4. What caused the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me? A. My ignorance of Dad. B. Dad’s absence from the family. C. Generation gap. D. Dad’s failure in business. 5. Which of the following can best describe Dad? A. Humble and realistic. B. Demanding but patient. C. Gentle but strict. D. Hardworking and caring. 6. Why did Dad ask his daughter to clean his comb before her birthday? A. To follow his old habit. B. To praise her helpfulness. C. To give her a lesson. D. To fix their relationship. 7. Which saying concludes the text best? A. Some things never change. B. Like father, like daughter. C. Yesterday once more. D. Let bygones be bygones. C Laurie Santos, the psychology professor behind Yale University’s most popular course, recently started a free six-week class aimed at teenagers, called “The science of Well-Being for Teens”. It was developed to address rising rates of anxiety and depression among teenagers between 9th and 12th grade. She says in Lesson No. 1, one of the course’s pre-recorded lectures: Your brain lies to you about what makes you happy. “For adults, this may mean pursuing money or success at work, and for teens this might mean focusing on the perfect grades and getting into the best colleges,” Santos says. “The problem isn’t that you’re not putting work into feeling better — it’s that you’re doing the wrong things, prioritizing (优先考虑) the wrong behaviours.” Instead of focusing on reaching a financial goal or perfect grade, you should aim to programme your brain with thoughts and behaviours that make you feel better, Santos recommends. Regularly connecting with friends, taking care of your health and learning how to accept negative emotions all contribute more to your happiness than having the right job, car or relationships, she adds in a lecture. This teen-specific course, which already has at least 17, 000 members, is remarkable. More than a third of teens self-report experiencing poor mental health, and nearly half feel constant sadness or hopelessness, according to a Centres for Disease Control and Prevention survey that covered students through mid-2021. Those numbers had already increased by 40% from 2009 to 2019. Santos says she wants to help change those numbers by making the science of happiness accessible. “Happiness isn’t just about enjoying your day-to-day life,” she adds. “It helps you land jobs and live longer, contributing to your success when you’re not really running after it.” 8. Why did Laurie Santos start the class? A. To encourage young children to get a perfect grade. B. To help high schoolers reduce anxiety and depression. C. To assist college students in finding a good job. D. To promote a popular class in Yale University. 9. Which of the following shows Laurie Santos’ opinion? A. Rich people know how to accept negative emotions. B. People today know well how to be happier. C. Today’s people don’t pursue happiness correctly. D. Adults do better in pursuing happiness than teens. 10. What do the numbers Paragraph 4 mainly indicate? A. Teens were unhappier before mid-2021. B. This course gets widely popular now. C. Teenagers’ mental health issues are on the rise. D. Many teens aren’t aware of their mental problems. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. A Free Course about Happiness for Teens B. Anxiety and Depression of Today’s Teens C. The Reason for an Unhappy Life D. The Best Way to Live a Happy Life D What is our purpose? What aims should we pursue to live a rewarding life? There is no more important topic than the meaning of our life. Among many books which help us find the meaning of life, Man’s Search for Meaning is at the top of my list. It was written by Austrian psychiatrist (精神病学家) Viktor Frankl, who lived from 1905 to 1997. Frankl argues that our primary task in life is to provide it with meaning, whatever form this may take. In the deeply moving book, Frankl relates that those who managed to stay in touch with what made their life meaningful in the Nazi extermination camps were more likely to survive. Their personal meaning took many different forms. It could be a strong desire to return to a beloved person, or complete a creative or intellectual project, or simply the strong wish to help others. If there is a powerful “why” that drives us, Frankl declares, we can tolerate almost any “how”. Frankl believes that we can discover the meaning of life in three main areas-by doing a deed or creating a work;by meeting with someone or experiencing something;by the attitude we take towards unavoidable suffering. The meaning of our life can be creativity in the broad sense of the word. This includes not only creative works but also merely making something, learning something, or being productive. Meaning can also be found in the experience of love and the appreciation of beauty, excellence, culture and nature. More importantly, Frankl argues that meaning has to be located outside ourselves. It has to be discovered in the world rather than in our own souls. “Being a human being,” he writes, “always points and is directed to something, or someone, other than oneself-be it a meaning to achieve or another human being to meet.” Frankl’s existentialist (存在主义的) approach, then, invites us to let go of our obsession (迷恋) with ourselves and values such as self-realization, self-improvement, and happiness. Instead, he urges us to focus on the meaning that lies outside the boundaries of our own souls. 12. What does Frankl mean by saying the underlined words? A. We are guided by the purpose of life. B. We are encouraged by many questions. C. We are forced to do something unusual. D. We are urged to find the secret of success. 13. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. How to define the meaning of life. B. Why the meaning of life is important. C. How to find the meaning of life. D. Why we need the meaning of life. 14. What should we focus on according to Viktor Frankl? A. Finishing an ambitious project. B. Making a difference to others. C. Pursuing great success. D. Struggling for happiness. 15. What is the text? A A news report. B. A short story. C. A diary entry. D. A book review. 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。 Do you feel energized when you see red?

The moment he arrived at a small town lying along a clear and sweet river a feeling of ease and comfort embraced him. The peaceful night fell, appealing to the young musician. He was casually (随便地) out walking and passing a cottage with the door open, when he heard someone inside playing the piano. Though it didn’t go smoothly, he was sure that it was just one of his compositions. The musician stopped to listen, but the music stopped too. He got closer and overheard a conversation going—“It is too difficult! I can never play it well by myself! I’ve only heard someone else play it several times. It’s far from enough. How I wish I would gain a chance to attend a concert! What if it is played by the musician himself?”—a girl murmured (低语) and sighed. A man continued, “I can’t agree more, but we can’t afford to attend a concert. We are so poor.” “Sorry, Brother,” explained the girl, “Please let it go. I didn’t mean to. I was just kidding.” Though she tried to keep a calm tone, both the brother and the young musician could tell how much she wished to hear a real musician play it properly. The young musician pushed the door and got into the house. With a single candle, a man was making shoes while a young lady was sitting at the piano. Nothing inviting was in sight except the old piano. What was unexpected was that the beautiful young lady was blind. The brother was too astonished to pronounce a word. Kind but embarrassed, he smiled at the stranger. The musician smiled and nodded, approaching the piano slowly. Nervous and frightened, the brother dropped the shoe he was working on, jumped to his feet and rushed to protect his sister. “What are you doing? Keep off my sister!” The young lady was alarmed at the noise. She got off the piano, with head hanging and shoulders shaking. 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。 Not until then did the young musician realize he was misunderstood. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ He played so well that all of them were soaked (沉浸) in beautiful music. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 试卷类型：A 高二英语试题 2025. 04 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 请按题号顺序在答题卡上各题目的答题区域内作答，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 选择题用2B铅笔在答题卡上把所选答案的标号涂黑；非选择题用黑色签字笔在答题卡上作答；字体工整，笔迹清楚。 4. 考试结束后，请将试卷和答题卡一并上交。 5. 本卷主要考查内容：高考范围。 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。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?

I heard he bought it when he married Mum, which made the comb two years older than I was. Every night, he would smile, hand me the comb and say, “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, Ok? ” I was more than happy to do it. At age five this simple task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap(水龙头)on, then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me and place the comb on top of his wallet. About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. He didn’t come home as much as he used to — just a couple of times a week. And when he did come home, it was always late and I’d already be in bed. I started to get mad. I stopped waiting for him to come home, and stopped going downstairs to check on him. Today, I’m no longer a kid. I’ve graduated from college and got a job. Dad’s business has got back on track. Things are better now. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me persisted. Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. As usual, I helped him carry his bags into his study. When I turned to leave, he said, “Hey, would you like to help me clean my comb?” I looked at him a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink. I passed the clean comb back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time I noticed something different. My dad has aged. He has wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiles, yet his smile is still as heartwarming as before. The smile of a father who just wants a good life for his family. Dad carefully placed his comb on top of his wallet. After so many years, he still organizes his personal items in the same careful way. I guess some things never change. And for that, I’m glad. 4. What caused the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me? A. My ignorance of Dad. B. Dad’s absence from the family. C. Generation gap. D. Dad’s failure in business. 5. Which of the following can best describe Dad? A. Humble and realistic. B. Demanding but patient. C. Gentle but strict. D. Hardworking and caring. 6. Why did Dad ask his daughter to clean his comb before her birthday? A. To follow his old habit. B. To praise her helpfulness. C. To give her a lesson. D. To fix their relationship. 7. Which saying concludes the text best? A. Some things never change. B. Like father, like daughter. C. Yesterday once more. D. Let bygones be bygones. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7.

It was developed to address rising rates of anxiety and depression among teenagers between 9th and 12th grade. She says in Lesson No. 1, one of the course’s pre-recorded lectures: Your brain lies to you about what makes you happy. “For adults, this may mean pursuing money or success at work, and for teens this might mean focusing on the perfect grades and getting into the best colleges,” Santos says. “The problem isn’t that you’re not putting work into feeling better — it’s that you’re doing the wrong things, prioritizing (优先考虑) the wrong behaviours.” Instead of focusing on reaching a financial goal or perfect grade, you should aim to programme your brain with thoughts and behaviours that make you feel better, Santos recommends. Regularly connecting with friends, taking care of your health and learning how to accept negative emotions all contribute more to your happiness than having the right job, car or relationships, she adds in a lecture. This teen-specific course, which already has at least 17, 000 members, is remarkable. More than a third of teens self-report experiencing poor mental health, and nearly half feel constant sadness or hopelessness, according to a Centres for Disease Control and Prevention survey that covered students through mid-2021. Those numbers had already increased by 40% from 2009 to 2019. Santos says she wants to help change those numbers by making the science of happiness accessible. “Happiness isn’t just about enjoying your day-to-day life,” she adds. “It helps you land jobs and live longer, contributing to your success when you’re not really running after it.” 8. Why did Laurie Santos start the class? A. To encourage young children to get a perfect grade. B. To help high schoolers reduce anxiety and depression. C. To assist college students in finding a good job. D. To promote a popular class in Yale University. 9. Which of the following shows Laurie Santos’ opinion? A. Rich people know how to accept negative emotions. B. People today know well how to be happier. C. Today’s people don’t pursue happiness correctly. D. Adults do better in pursuing happiness than teens. 10. What do the numbers Paragraph 4 mainly indicate? A. Teens were unhappier before mid-2021. B. This course gets widely popular now. C. Teenagers’ mental health issues are on the rise. D. Many teens aren’t aware of their mental problems. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. A Free Course about Happiness for Teens B. Anxiety and Depression of Today’s Teens C. The Reason for an Unhappy Life D. The Best Way to Live a Happy Life 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是耶鲁大学教授为青少年开设的幸福科学课程，帮助他们应对焦虑与抑郁，提升心理健康。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It was developed to address rising rates of anxiety and depression among teenagers between 9th and 12th grade.(该课程是为了解决 9 年级到 12 年级青少年中焦虑和抑郁发病率上升的问题而开设的。)”可知，劳里・桑托斯开设这门课程是为了帮助高中生减少焦虑和抑郁。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The problem isn’t that you’re not putting work into feeling better — it’s that you’re doing the wrong things, prioritizing the wrong behaviours.(问题不在于你没有努力让自己感觉更好，而在于你在做错误的事情，优先考虑错误的行为。) ”可知，她认为人们现在追求快乐的方式不是很对。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“More than a third of teens self-report experiencing poor mental health, and nearly half feel constant sadness or hopelessness, according to a Centres for Disease Control and Prevention survey that covered students through mid-2021.

What aims should we pursue to live a rewarding life? There is no more important topic than the meaning of our life. Among many books which help us find the meaning of life, Man’s Search for Meaning is at the top of my list. It was written by Austrian psychiatrist (精神病学家) Viktor Frankl, who lived from 1905 to 1997. Frankl argues that our primary task in life is to provide it with meaning, whatever form this may take. In the deeply moving book, Frankl relates that those who managed to stay in touch with what made their life meaningful in the Nazi extermination camps were more likely to survive. Their personal meaning took many different forms. It could be a strong desire to return to a beloved person, or complete a creative or intellectual project, or simply the strong wish to help others. If there is a powerful “why” that drives us, Frankl declares, we can tolerate almost any “how”. Frankl believes that we can discover the meaning of life in three main areas-by doing a deed or creating a work;by meeting with someone or experiencing something;by the attitude we take towards unavoidable suffering. The meaning of our life can be creativity in the broad sense of the word. This includes not only creative works but also merely making something, learning something, or being productive. Meaning can also be found in the experience of love and the appreciation of beauty, excellence, culture and nature. More importantly, Frankl argues that meaning has to be located outside ourselves. It has to be discovered in the world rather than in our own souls. “Being a human being,” he writes, “always points and is directed to something, or someone, other than oneself-be it a meaning to achieve or another human being to meet.” Frankl’s existentialist (存在主义的) approach, then, invites us to let go of our obsession (迷恋) with ourselves and values such as self-realization, self-improvement, and happiness. Instead, he urges us to focus on the meaning that lies outside the boundaries of our own souls. 12. What does Frankl mean by saying the underlined words? A We are guided by the purpose of life. B. We are encouraged by many questions. C. We are forced to do something unusual. D. We are urged to find the secret of success. 13. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. How to define the meaning of life. B. Why the meaning of life is important. C. How to find the meaning of life. D. Why we need the meaning of life. 14. What should we focus on according to Viktor Frankl? A. Finishing an ambitious project. B. Making a difference to others. C. Pursuing great success. D. Struggling for happiness. 15. What is the text? A. A news report. B. A short story. C. A diary entry. D. A book review. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇书评，主要讲述了奥地利精神病学家维克多・弗兰克尔在其著作《活出生命的意义》中关于生命意义的观点，包括如何找到生命的意义以及生命的意义应存在于自身之外等内容。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段 “Frankl argues that our primary task in life is to provide it with meaning, whatever form this may take. In the deeply moving book, Frankl relates that those who managed to stay in touch with what made their life meaningful in the Nazi extermination camps were more likely to survive. Their personal meaning took many different forms. It could be a strong desire to return to a beloved person, or complete a creative or intellectual project, or simply the strong wish to help others. If there is a powerful “why” that drives us, Frankl declares, we can tolerate almost any “how” .(弗兰克尔认为，我们生活中的首要任务是赋予它意义，无论这种意义以何种形式存在。在这本感人的书中，弗兰克尔讲述了那些在纳粹灭绝营中设法与使他们的生活有意义的东西保持联系的人更有可能活下来。他们的个人意义有许多不同的形式。这可能是一个强烈的愿望，回到一个心爱的人，或完成一个创造性或智力项目，或只是强烈的愿望，以帮助他人。弗兰克尔宣称，如果有一个强大的“为什么”驱动着我们，我们几乎可以容忍任何“如何”)”可推知，弗兰克尔的意思是我们是由生命的目的所引导的。故选A。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“Frankl believes that we can discover the meaning of life in three main areas - by doing a deed or creating a work; by meeting with someone or experiencing something; by the attitude we take towards unavoidable suffering.(弗兰克尔认为，我们可以在三个主要方面发现生命的意义 —— 通过做一件事或创造一件作品；通过遇见某人或经历某事；通过我们对不可避免的苦难所采取的态度)”可知，第三段主要讲述的是如何找到生命的意义。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“More importantly, Frankl argues that meaning has to be located outside ourselves. It has to be discovered in the world rather than in our own souls.Being a human being,” he writes, “always points and is directed to something, or someone, other than oneself-be it a meaning to achieve or another human being to meet (更重要的是，弗兰克尔认为意义必须存在于我们自身之外。它必须在世界中被发现，而不是在我们自己的灵魂中。他写道：“作为一个人，总是指向并导向自己以外的某事或某人 —— 无论是要实现的意义还是要遇见的另一个人”)”以及第五段 “Instead, he urges us to focus on the meaning that lies outside the boundaries of our own souls.(相反，他敦促我们关注存在于我们自己灵魂边界之外的意义)”可推知，维克多・弗兰克尔认为我们应该专注于对他人产生影响。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Among many books which help us find the meaning of life, Man’s Search for Meaning is at the top of my list. It was written by Austrian psychiatrist Viktor Frankl...(在许多帮助我们找到生命意义的书中，《活出生命的意义》是我的首选。它是由奥地利精神病学家维克多・弗兰克尔所著……)”以及后文对书中关于生命意义观点的阐述可知，本文是一篇书评。故选D。 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。 Do you feel energized when you see red?

The moment he arrived at a small town lying along a clear and sweet river, a feeling of ease and comfort embraced him. The peaceful night fell, appealing to the young musician. He was casually (随便地) out walking and passing a cottage with the door open, when he heard someone inside playing the piano. Though it didn’t go smoothly, he was sure that it was just one of his compositions. The musician stopped to listen, but the music stopped too. He got closer and overheard a conversation going—“It is too difficult! I can never play it well by myself! I’ve only heard someone else play it several times. It’s far from enough. How I wish I would gain a chance to attend a concert! What if it is played by the musician himself?”—a girl murmured (低语) and sighed. A man continued, “I can’t agree more, but we can’t afford to attend a concert. We are so poor.” “Sorry, Brother,” explained the girl, “Please let it go. I didn’t mean to. I was just kidding.” Though she tried to keep a calm tone, both the brother and the young musician could tell how much she wished to hear a real musician play it properly. The young musician pushed the door and got into the house. With a single candle, a man was making shoes while a young lady was sitting at the piano. Nothing inviting was in sight except the old piano. What was unexpected was that the beautiful young lady was blind. The brother was too astonished to pronounce a word. Kind but embarrassed, he smiled at the stranger. The musician smiled and nodded, approaching the piano slowly. Nervous and frightened, the brother dropped the shoe he was working on, jumped to his feet and rushed to protect his sister. “What are you doing? Keep off my sister!” The young lady was alarmed at the noise. She got off the piano, with head hanging and shoulders shaking. 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。 Not until then did the young musician realize he was misunderstood. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ He played so well that all of them were soaked (沉浸) in beautiful music. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Not until then did the young musician realized he was misunderstood. He held back his feet and explained politely, “I am a tourist here and I happen to play the piano well. I am familiar with what the young lady was playing just now. Would you mind me playing for you?” Although they didn’t know who the stranger was, they were glad to listen to him play for them. He sat down and began to play. With the music going, the sister and the brother got relaxed and began to enjoy it. He played so well that all of them were soaked (沉浸) in beautiful music. Even when the lone candle in the room went out and the moon sent its lovely beams shining into the room, he still played! When he left, it was deep night. He was so inspired by the appreciation of his music by the young lady and the beauty of the atmosphere in and outside the room. Never had the poor sister and brother had such a splendid night. It was music that brought happiness to them all! 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一位年轻的音乐家正在世界各地巡演，当他来到一个小镇时，经过一间开着门的小屋，听到里面有人在弹钢琴，是他的作品，但弹得并不好。弹钢琴的女孩希望听到一位真正的音乐家演奏这首曲子，音乐家推门而入，惊讶地发现原来女孩失明了，女孩和她的兄弟也因为音乐家的到来感到震惊。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“直到那时，这位年轻的音乐家才意识到自己被误解了。”可知，第一段可描写音乐家的解释及他的演奏。 ②由第二段首句内容“他演奏得很好，他们都沉浸在美妙的音乐中。”可知，第二段可描写兄妹二人享受音乐及音乐家的感悟。 2.续写线索：音乐家的解释——开始演奏——兄妹二人享受音乐——演奏结束——音乐家离开——音乐家的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①熟悉：be familiar with/familiarize ②开始做某事：begin to do sth./start to do sth. ③欣赏：enjoy/admire 情绪类 ①高兴的：glad/happy ②快乐：happiness/pleasure 【点睛】[高分句型1].
