However, if you’re willing to leave your country and explore life in other areas, there are many countries boasting an extremely cheap and low cost of living. Check out the following countries when planning your next move. Ecuador Ecuador is similar to the United States in many ways, and as a result has become a popular American getaway. They even use the US Dollar for their currency. In this country, it’s cheaper to eat out every day than cook for yourself on a budget in the US. You can even buy a building for around $ 50, 000 and hire someone to look after it while you’re away. Mexico Although the country is known for its poverty ridden streets, there $are many wealthier areas that provide every facility you might need. You can live off a mere $ 700 to $ 800 a month in Mexico, and this includes rent for a nice place, facilities, food, and any sightseeing. Argentina Argentina has been a popular tourist destination for many years. It has great restaurants, a rich history, and many places to explore. Not to mention, it’s not very expensive to live here. A decent sized home can cost around $ 139, 000, which is relatively cheap in relation to homes in the United States. Vietnam Vietnam has also become a popular tourist destination in recent years. There are many million-dollar luxury homes by the beach, but you can find a modest flat or a small home for around $ 25,000 to $ 50,000 if you search in the right areas. 1. In which country is the US Dollar used for its currency? A. Argentina. B. Mexico. C. Ecuador. D. Vietnam. 2. How much does it cost to live in Mexico for a year? A. About $ 7,000. B. About $ 8,000. C. About $ 8,800. D. About $ 12,000. 3. What do Argentina and Vietnam have in common? A. They have great restaurants. B. The cost of living is expensive. C. The middle-sized homes cost around $ 139,000. D. Tourists enjoy travelling in the two countries. B As a boy I was always small for my age. I was also five years younger than one of my brothers and seven years younger than the other. As a result I often felt left out when their friends came over to play. I was either too small or too young for whatever they were doing and they didn’t want me to listen to their conventions, either. More often than not I found myself outside playing alone and feeling forgotten. I remember one spring afternoon feeling especially lonely as I sat in the yard behind our house. We lived miles from town and I rarely saw my own friends outside of school. I heard my brothers laughing from inside the house and felt tears coming down my cheek. At that moment I saw a large brown dog walking over to me. He looked happy and his tail was wagging as well. Even though he didn’t know me, he greeted me like a long-lost friend, licking my feet and sitting beside me on the spring grass. It must have been for at least an hour that I petted and talked to this four-legged angel. He let me pour out all my troubles and share my deepest thoughts before he kissed my cheek goodbye. I went back inside feeling happy, knowing that no matter what life may hold, I was loved. Now over 40 years later I still remember that angel with a smile. I believe that God sent him in that moment of sadness to remind me just how much he loved me. In truth, nothing brings us greater joy than knowing we are loved. Knowing we are loved gives us the strength to love others as well. Knowing we are loved aids us in making Earth more like Heaven. Embrace that love, take joy in it, and then go out and share your own love with the world. 4. When the author’s brother’s friends came to their house, the author ________. A. couldn’t play with them B. was permitted to listen to their talk C. was unwilling to communicate with them D. was happy to take part in their activities 5. What can we conclude from the second paragraph? A. The large brown dog frightened the author. B. The author preferred to be in a quiet place. C. The dog greeted him like a long-lost friend. D The author often invited many friends to his house. 6. When the author returned to his home, ________. A. he felt much happier than before B. he led this four-legged angel home C. he shared his thoughts with his brothers D. he was unwilling to play with his brothers 7. What does the text mainly want to express? A. We should take care of dogs. B. We must know we are loved. C. We need to give our love to others. D. We can play with our brothers happily. C Students and Technology in the Classroom I love my blackberry (黑莓手机) — it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices (设备) and truly communicate with others. On one occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule-no laptops, IPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy. Most students think that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students think that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students. The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration (专心) and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course material and the class discussion. I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom. I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a rally good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up. 8. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with ______. A. the course material B. others’ misuse of technology C. discussion topics D. the author’s class rules 9. The underlined word “engage” in para.4 probably means ______. A. explore B. accept C. change D. refuse 10. According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ______. A. keep students from doing independent thinking B. encourage students to have deep conversations C. help students to better understand difficult themes D. affect students’ concentration on the teacher’s ideas 11 It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ______. A. is quite stubborn in teaching B. will give up teaching history C. will change his teaching plan soon D. values technology-free dialogues in his class D Hadeda ibises, known as “African alarm clocks” for their loud calls, have long legs and thin beaks (鸟喙) and shiny feathers on their wings. Historically restricted to northeastern South Africa, hadedas have significantly expanded their range to many urban areas. Various ibises use remote-touch to detect movements of prey (猎物) in the soil and locate their hidden place. This ability is facilitated by a sensory organ in their beaks, called the bill-tip organ, which developed during the time of the dinosaurs. My recent research confirmed that hadedas have this“sixth sense” and found it is closely tied to soil moisture (湿度) levels. We conducted sensory tests with hadedas in bird cages. We presented them with boxes of soil containing buried worms (虫), masking any sounds with white noise and mixing dead worms into the soil to remove scent cues (气味线索). The birds consistently found live worms faster than dead ones, indicating they are able to sense movements of prey and use remote-touch to find them. Further testing revealed that hadedas found worms more quickly in wetter soils. If the soil was too dry, they lost this ability and had to rely on random searching. These findings suggest that the hadedas’ expansion in SouthAfrica is related to increased artificial watering systems. They require wet soil to use remote-touch effectively,which could explain their absence in dry regions. Droughts and heatwaves, expected to worsen with climate change, could threaten their population by making prey detection more challenging. The study highlights the broader implications for other remote-touch hunting birds, many of which are already endangered. As soil moisture levels decrease, these birds could become more at risk, stressing the importance of considering sensory requirements in conservation efforts. 12. What do we know about hadeda ibises? A. They are known for shiny feathers. B. They barely see any rise in numbers. C. They recall images of the dinosaurs. D. They have a specialized sensory organ. 13. Why were white noise and dead worms used in the experiment? A. To get a more reliable result. B. To add experimental items. C. To copy natural habitats. D. To avoid disturbing the subjects. 14. What does the research suggest about the impact of climate change on hadedas? A. Climate change will decrease their reliance on soil moisture. B. Droughts could make it more difficult for them to find prey. C. Increased rainfall will help them relocate to urbanized areas. D. Rising temperatures could increase their feeding efficiency. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The specialty of hadedas’ organs. B. The masters of dry land hunting. C. Hadedas’ prey detection in wet soil. D. Hadedas ibises’ urban expansion. 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。 Smartwatches and fitness trackers (健身追踪器) have gained popularity recently.

She took a deep bow and was given thundering applause. I, too, gave applause. I was happy for my friend. Well, I was pretending to be happy for her. Deep down inside, I was rather feeling envious of Asta. She was always the one who makes speeches, debates and tells stories to others. Me? No! I had stage fright and was always the shy, quiet one who was never courageous to speak in front of others. I had never managed to do a presentation without stammering(结巴). Every time I saw someone making a speech, I would imagine myself in his or her place, receiving the applause and praise. I was walking to the canteen with Asta. She, as usual, was looking at the script. She had been chosen to be the presenter for the National Day Celebration. I sighed to myself. Why could I not be like her, always loud and brave? If only there was a way to prove myself... Just then, I caught a glimpse of a poster on the noticeboard. “Minute to say it?” I read the poster out loud. It was a competition where one has to prepare a speech about a particular topic and summarize it on the stage within one minute. This could be my big chance to overcome my stage fright! And the best part was, if I won the competition, I would receive a mini-trophy (小奖杯). Without thinking twice, I grabbed a form and filled in it. I took a seat in the canteen with Asta and told her what I had done, after which she said that she had also signed up for the competition. Suddenly, regret hit me like a 20-pound hammer. I was competing against Asta who was the best speaker in the school! I was bound to lose! Why was I so ill-fated? I just wanted a chance to prove myself that I could overcome my stage fright. 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。 The big day finally arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Next, it was Asta’s turn. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024--2025学年度第二学期期中质量检测 高二英语试题 （满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 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。 第一节(共 5 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 7.5 分) 听下面5 段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中 选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有 10 秒钟的时 间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Dollar for their currency.(他们甚至使用美元作为他们的货币)”可知，美元是厄瓜多尔的货币。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mexico部分中的“You can live off a mere $ 700 to $ 800 a month in Mexico, and this includes rent for a nice place, facilities, food, and any sightseeing.(在墨西哥，你每月只需700到800美元，这包括一个好地方的租金、设施、食物和任何观光活动)”可知，在墨西哥居住一年需要约700*12=8400美元到800*12=9600美元之间。分析选项可知，只有C选项约8800美元符合价格区间。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Argentina部分中的“Argentina has been a popular tourist destination for many years.(多年来，阿根廷一直是一个受欢迎的旅游目的地)”以及Vietnam部分中的“Vietnam has also become a popular tourist destination in recent years.(越南也成为近年来一个热门的旅游目的地)”可知，阿根廷和越南的共同之处是游客喜欢在这两个国家旅行。故选D。 B As a boy I was always small for my age.

I was either too small or too young for whatever they were doing and they didn’t want me to listen to their conventions, either.(因此，当他们的朋友来玩时，我经常感到被冷落。不管他们在做什么，我要么太小，要么太年轻，他们也不想让我听他们的惯例)”可知，当作者哥哥的朋友们来到他们家时，作者不能和他们一起玩。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Even though he didn’t know me, he greeted me like a long-lost friend, licking my feet and sitting beside me on the spring grass.(虽然他不认识我，但它像一个久违的朋友一样向我打招呼，舔我的脚，坐在我旁边的春草地上)”可知，那只狗像一位久违的朋友一样向他打招呼。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“I went back inside feeling happy, knowing that no matter what life may hold, I was loved.(我回到屋里，感到快乐，知道无论生活如何，我都是被爱着的)”可知，当作者回到家中，他感到比以前快乐多了。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题，根据最后两段内容，尤其是最后一段中“In truth, nothing brings us greater joy than knowing we are loved.(事实上，没有什么比知道自己被爱更能带给我们快乐的了)”可知，作者通过本文的故事主要表达我们必须知道我们是被爱着的。故选B。 C Students and Technology in the Classroom I love my blackberry (黑莓手机) — it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices (设备) and truly communicate with others. On one occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule-no laptops, IPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy. Most students think that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students think that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students. The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration (专心) and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course material and the class discussion. I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom. I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a rally good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up. 8. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with ______. A. the course material B. others’ misuse of technology C. discussion topics D. the author’s class rules 9. The underlined word “engage” in para.4 probably means ______. A. explore B. accept C. change D. refuse 10. According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ______. A. keep students from doing independent thinking B. encourage students to have deep conversations C. help students to better understand difficult themes D. affect students’ concentration on the teacher’s ideas 11. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ______. A. is quite stubborn in teaching B. will give up teaching history C. will change his teaching plan soon D. values technology-free dialogues in his class 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章论述的主题是“students and technology”，文章以教师的口吻谈到不允许学生在课堂上玩ipad、手机等通讯工具是因为technology会影响深入交流和学生独立思考的能力。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule-no laptops, IPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy. (因为我想让学生们在课堂上深入地学习材料，互相交流思想，所以我有一个规定——不要使用笔记本电脑、ipad、手机等。当学生们在上课前被告知我的规定时，他们中的一些人很不高兴)”可知，在历史课上学生们不开心是因为作者的班规——不能使用电子产品。故选D。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations(我认为很少有地方可以让我们进行深入的对话)”和and可知，“engage complex ideas”和上文“have deep conversations”并列，指探索复杂的想法。由此可知，engage意为“探索”，与explore同义。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Interruptions by technology often break concentration (专心) and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course material and the class discussion. (技术的干扰往往会分散注意力，使想法过于依赖外部信息。我希望学生们能深入挖掘自己的灵感和想法。我希望他们以不同的方式互相思考，并在课程材料和课堂讨论之间建立联系。)”可知，作者认为在课堂上使用科技产品有碍于学生的独立思考。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up. (几个小时的不受科技产品打扰的自由对话太棒了，不能放弃)”推知，作者非常重视课堂上没有科技产品的对话。故选D。 D Hadeda ibises, known as “African alarm clocks” for their loud calls, have long legs and thin beaks (鸟喙) and shiny feathers on their wings. Historically restricted to northeastern South Africa, hadedas have significantly expanded their range to many urban areas. Various ibises use remote-touch to detect movements of prey (猎物) in the soil and locate their hidden place. This ability is facilitated by a sensory organ in their beaks, called the bill-tip organ, which developed during the time of the dinosaurs. My recent research confirmed that hadedas have this“sixth sense” and found it is closely tied to soil moisture (湿度) levels. We conducted sensory tests with hadedas in bird cages. We presented them with boxes of soil containing buried worms (虫), masking any sounds with white noise and mixing dead worms into the soil to remove scent cues (气味线索). The birds consistently found live worms faster than dead ones, indicating they are able to sense movements of prey and use remote-touch to find them. Further testing revealed that hadedas found worms more quickly in wetter soils. If the soil was too dry, they lost this ability and had to rely on random searching. These findings suggest that the hadedas’ expansion in SouthAfrica is related to increased artificial watering systems. They require wet soil to use remote-touch effectively,which could explain their absence in dry regions. Droughts and heatwaves, expected to worsen with climate change, could threaten their population by making prey detection more challenging. The study highlights the broader implications for other remote-touch hunting birds, many of which are already endangered. As soil moisture levels decrease, these birds could become more at risk, stressing the importance of considering sensory requirements in conservation efforts. 12. What do we know about hadeda ibises? A. They are known for shiny feathers. B. They barely see any rise in numbers. C. They recall images of the dinosaurs. D. They have a specialized sensory organ. 13. Why were white noise and dead worms used in the experiment? A. To get a more reliable result. B. To add experimental items. C. To copy natural habitats. D. To avoid disturbing the subjects. 14. What does the research suggest about the impact of climate change on hadedas? A. Climate change will decrease their reliance on soil moisture. B. Droughts could make it more difficult for them to find prey. C. Increased rainfall will help them relocate to urbanized areas. D. Rising temperatures could increase their feeding efficiency. 15. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The specialty of hadedas’ organs. B. The masters of dry land hunting. C. Hadedas’ prey detection in wet soil. D. Hadedas ibises’ urban expansion. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了噪鹮的特征，通过实验研究其利用“远程触觉”感知猎物的能力与土壤湿度的关系，以及气候变化对其的影响。 12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Various ibises use remote touch to detect movements of prey (猎物) in the soil and locate their hidden place. This ability is facilitated by a sensory organ in their beaks, called the bill tip organ, which developed during the time of the dinosaurs. (各种朱鹭利用远程触觉来探测土壤中猎物的移动并定位它们的藏身之处。这种能力得益于它们喙中的一种感觉器官，叫做喙尖器官，它在恐龙时代就已经形成了)”可知，噪鹮有一个专门的感觉器官。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“We presented them with boxes of soil containing buried worms (虫), masking any sounds with white noise and mixing dead worms into the soil to remove scent cues (气味线索). The birds consistently found live worms faster than dead ones, indicating they are able to sense movements of prey and use remote touch to find them. (我们给它们提供装有埋着虫子的土壤盒子，用白噪音掩盖任何声音，并将死虫子混入土壤中以消除气味线索。这些鸟总是比找到死虫子更快地找到活虫子，这表明它们能够感知猎物的移动并利用远程触觉来找到它们)”可知，使用白噪音和死虫子是为了排除声音和气味线索的干扰，从而得到更可靠的实验结果，证明噪鹮是通过远程触觉感知猎物的。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Droughts and heatwaves, expected to worsen with climate change, could threaten their population by making prey detection more challenging. (随着气候变化，预计干旱和热浪将加剧，这可能会使猎物探测变得更具挑战性，从而威胁到它们的数量)”可知，干旱会让噪鹮更难找到猎物。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第二段中“My recent research confirmed that hadedas have this ‘sixth sense’ and found it is closely tied to soil moisture (湿度) levels. (我最近的研究证实，噪鹮有这种‘第六感’，并发现它与土壤湿度水平密切相关)”以及后文围绕噪鹮在不同湿度土壤中探测猎物的研究内容可知，本文主要讲的是噪鹮在湿润土壤中探测猎物的情况。故选C项。 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。 Smartwatches and fitness trackers (健身追踪器) have gained popularity recently.

She took a deep bow and was given thundering applause. I, too, gave applause. I was happy for my friend. Well, I was pretending to be happy for her. Deep down inside, I was rather feeling envious of Asta. She was always the one who makes speeches, debates and tells stories to others. Me? No! I had stage fright and was always the shy, quiet one who was never courageous to speak in front of others. I had never managed to do a presentation without stammering(结巴). Every time I saw someone making a speech, I would imagine myself in his or her place, receiving the applause and praise. I was walking to the canteen with Asta. She, as usual, was looking at the script. She had been chosen to be the presenter for the National Day Celebration. I sighed to myself. Why could I not be like her, always loud and brave? If only there was a way to prove myself... Just then, I caught a glimpse of a poster on the noticeboard. “Minute to say it?” I read the poster out loud. It was a competition where one has to prepare a speech about a particular topic and summarize it on the stage within one minute. This could be my big chance to overcome my stage fright! And the best part was, if I won the competition, I would receive a mini-trophy (小奖杯). Without thinking twice, I grabbed a form and filled in it. I took a seat in the canteen with Asta and told her what I had done, after which she said that she had also signed up for the competition. Suddenly, regret hit me like a 20-pound hammer. I was competing against Asta who was the best speaker in the school! I was bound to lose! Why was I so ill-fated? I just wanted a chance to prove myself that I could overcome my stage fright. 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。 The big day finally arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Next, it was Asta’s turn. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The big day finally arrived. Many students were backstage, all nervous and anxious. Time seemed to pass very quickly as the first few contestants made their way to the stage. Soon enough, it was my turn. As I walked up the stage unsteadily, my legs turned to jelly. “This… is…is… my…” I began. “No! No more stammering. I can do this!” I told myself. With forty seconds left, I went through the rest of my speech fluently. The moment the stopwatch clicked stop, I sighed a huge sigh of relief. Next, it was Asta’s turn. Her speech was so brilliant that even I was attracted! Later, at the prize ceremony, Asta was made champion while I got second place. Although I did not win the championship, I was more than happy to come in second. At least I had something to take home to show my parents. Hmmm… Come to think of it…Maybe overcoming my fear was not so bad after all. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者十分羡慕好友阿斯塔在公共场合能自信流利地演讲，而自己却会结巴，作者看到海报上有一场演讲比赛，觉得这是自己克服怯场的最好机会，想要证明自己，于是和阿斯塔一起报名参加了比赛，在比赛中作者克服了结巴，完成了演讲，阿斯塔获得第一，作者获得第二，但是她很开心，终于克服了怯场的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这一重大日子终于到来了。”可知，第一段可描写作者参加演讲，克服怯场。 ②由第二段首句内容“接下来，轮到阿斯塔了。”可知，第二段可描写阿斯塔演讲的经过和比赛结果及最终作者很高兴克服了怯场。 2.续写线索：比赛日到来——作者演讲——克服结巴——完成演讲——阿斯塔完美演讲——比赛结果——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走：walk/step/trod ②告诉/提醒：tell/remind 情绪类 ①放松：relief/easiness ②高兴：happy/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1].
