In a remote rainforest on the Hawaiian island, Bernie Krause kneels silently, adjusting a pair of microphones covered in leaves. Around him, all lives sing in harmony. But Krause isn’t just listening; he’s recording an ecosystem’s acoustic (声学的) DNA — a soundscape that may soon disappear. For over 50 years, this 84-year-old bioacoustician has travelled to Earth’s most threatened habitats, recording what he calls “nature’s grand orchestra (管弦乐队).” His mission? To preserve the planet’s acoustic heritage before human noise silences it forever.
Krause’s journey began unconventionally, In the 1960s, he was a session musician for Motown and played synthesizer with the band Beaver & Krause. But a key moment came in 1968 when he recorded a forest for an album. “I noticed each creature occupied its own acoustic space, like instruments in an orchestra,” he recalls. This revelation birthed his life’s work — soundscape ecology (声景生态学).
Armed with recording equipment, Krause has since captured over 5,000 hours of sound from 15,000 species across every continent. In 1988, he recorded a forest alive with birdsong. After selective tree cuttings, which woodcutters claimed “didn’t harm wildlife”, he returned. Everywhere he looked, the grass seemed unchanged. But actually, it was damaged. Over 50% of species’ voices had disappeared. “The silence,” Krause says, “was louder than any chainsaw (锯子).”
For Krause, sound is more than data; it’s emotional memory. He recalls a recording of a pack in Algonquin Park. When he played it back, a young wolf approached his speaker. “It recognized its family’s voices,” he smiles. “That connection-between species, across the acoustic web-is what we’re serving.”
As earphones pick up a rare Hawaiian honeycreeper’s call, Krause shuts his eyes. “Listen,” he whispers. “That bird might not sing here in ten years. But on my hard disk, it’ll sing forever.”
4. Why did Krause record ecosystem’s acoustic DNA?
A. To prevent habitats from danger. B. To protect natural sounds at risk.
C. To search for man-made noises. D. To promote. his grand orchestra.
5. What contributed to Krause’s lifelong work?
A. The job of being a musician. B. The work for his own album.
C. The vivid sounds from forests. D. The creatures’ sound positions.
6. What can be inferred from Krause’s work in 1988?
A. Nature can repair its damage quickly. B. Sound space can be destroyed unseen.
C. Species loss can be caused unnoticed. D. Human noise can break silence easily.
7. What does Krause imply in the last two paragraphs?
A. The basis for his research. B. The passion for his survey.
C The limitations of his study. D. The values of his recordings.
C
For more than 3,500 years, the remains of the Xiaohe people lay undisturbed in Xinjiang until they were unearthed in 1979. Among the treasures dug up was the oldest preserved cheese in the world, spotted around the remains’ neck.
Now a team of researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences reports the first genetic (基因的) analysis of the cheese. Their results give us a vivid account of a rich Bronze Age culture that exchanged animals with other neighbouring peoples and may have helped spread cheese around East Asia, reflecting their cross-cultural communication. Just why they were buried with the stuff, though, remains imperfectly understood.
During their analysis, the team identified the DNA from a goat whose milk went into the cheeses, before comparing it with 185 previously sequenced goat genes. The genetic profile of the Xiaohe goat was similar to that of goats belonging to ancient Eurasian Steppe people, meaning the Xiaohe may have learned cheese-making from them.
All the Xiaohe cheeses would have been produced by drying kefir, a milk-based drink made with bacteria (细菌) such as Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens. The team, therefore, sequenced the DNA of that one bacterium and compared it with 15 modern varieties in order to identify its place within that species’ family tree. Their analysis showed that it belonged to a subspecies that could have spread with kefir-making customs from Xinjiang to regions including Tibet.
The team suspect that the cheese was an attractive alternative to raw milk. But it is possible that it was the kefir drink, rather than the cheese, that was the main attraction, says Paul Kindstedt, a cheese chemist and historian who was not involved in the research. It holds about 1% alcohol by volume. People in Mongolia today use kefir to make milk-based alcohol; the Xiaohe may have done so too.
“Ancient-cheese DNA analysis-of which this may be the first example-could reveal secrets about numerous other cultures. There are dairy remains on 7,000-year-old European pots, for example, and cheese may also have been used in ancient Egyptian burial practices,” says Dr Kindstedt.
8. What can be inferred about the Xiaohe people in paragraph 2?
A. They preferred an undisturbed life. B. They interacted with other cultures.
C. They conducted odd burial practices. D. They exchanged animals for cheese.
9. Why was the DNA of Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens studied?
A. To track the cheese-making origin. B. To clarify the cheese-making steps.
C. To figure out its structure. D. To dig into its superiority.
10. What is Paul Kindstedt’s opinion on the cheese?
A. It came from Mongolians’ finding. B. It may be a substitute of raw milk.
C. Its appeal was possibly-from kefir. D. Its attraction was affected by milk.
11. How does the author emphasize ancient-cheese DNA analysis’ significance?
A. By explaining a concept. B. By giving a definition.
C. By providing statistics. D. By quoting an expert.
D
The rapid development in artificial intelligence or AI, has had the effect of bothering and transforming socioeconomic activities across industries ranging from health, trade, education and even the improvement of climate change.
However, as industries and governments across the globe are ready to take advantage of these possibilities, experts added that Africa needs supportive policies and improved facilities to seize the limitless opportunities of AI to quicken its development. Moreover, the experts said that the continent should not wait to have the rules in place in order to welcome the technology.
Fayaz King, an expert in digital public facilities from Zimbabwe, said AI has the potential to contribute up to $1.2 trillion to the African economy by 2030, representing a 5.6 percent increase in the continent’s GDP by 2030. Alfred Ongere, an information technology expert and the founder of Artificial Intelligence Kenya, a nongovernmental organization, said it is of much importance to manage AI in African countries because it can potentially be used in spreading misinformation, fake news, and disinformation. However, policymakers should first improve the state of the AI ecosystem.
Despite arguing against proper control by African governments, Ongere said that it is still significant to protect consumers from the risks caused by the uncontrolled application of AI on the continent. He appealed to African governments to develop an AI road map or policy paper without forcing rules that could potentially damage a promising sector. “AI-focused solutions should solve real-world challenges such as rural development and financial crisis. More importantly, efforts should be directed toward ensuring the commercial viability (商业可行性) of these solutions,” Ongere said.
King said that managing AI in Africa should deal with moral considerations such as data privacy, prejudice and transparency (透明性). As the use of AI continues to expand, it is likely that more countries will follow in introducing such regulations. “The question of management, especially in the African context is that Africa is not mature to have complete and sound rules on AI because Africa lacks the level of technology development that exists in developed nations.” King said.
12. What does the author want to stress in paragraph 1?
A. The effect of climate change on AI. B. The AI’s influence on various fields.
C. The breakthroughs of trade industry. D. The rapid development of education.
13. Why is it important to control AI in African countries?
A. It can be illegally spread. B. It may affect ecosystems.
C. It can be improperly used. D. It may ruin economic state.
14. Which of the following statement would Ongere agree with?
A. AI should focus on actual problems. B. AI can avoid ethical considerations.
C. AI can help people draw up policies. D. AI should protect users’ data privacy.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Africa’s Shortage of Policies In Rules
B. She Future of AI technology In Africa
C. Africa’s Calls to Control AI Grow Louder
D. AI’s Contributions to the African Economy

Honesty Strengthening the Friendship
Linda complained, “I can’t believe Ms. Carter gave us another essay due Friday,” turning to face Clara, who was busy tucking (塞) a note into her notebook. Clara looked up, with her eyes lighting up with that familiar eagerness Linda had come to both rely on and dislike. “I know! But maybe we could work on it together? My mom’s making pizzas tonight-you could stay over.”
Linda hesitated. The truth was she’d already promised her cousin to go shopping, but the thought of disappointing Clara made her feel guilty. “Oh, I can’t,” she lied. “I have to look after my little brother. He’s got a fever.” Clara’s forehead creased (皱眉), “Oh no! Is he okay? Do you need me to bring over soup or something? My grandma is good at making chicken soup.” “No, he’ll be fine,” Linda replied, hurrying toward the exit. She didn’t miss the way Clara’s smile gradually disappeared as she walked away.
It wasn’t the first time. Last month, when Clara had tearfully expressed she was struggling with her parents’ breaking up, Linda had nodded along without really paying attention, checking her phone for texts from the popular crowd. When Clara had noticed and asked if something was wrong, Linda had lied her battery was dying-even though she’d just charged it that morning.
Today, as Linda went shopping with her cousin, her phone made a noise. It was a message from Clara. “Hey, I just wanted to say I made more soup than needed. Tell me if you want me to bring some over.” Nervous and guilty, Linda typed, “Thanks, but my dad already got food to take home. Maybe another time?” Then she turned off her phone and forced a laugh as her cousin held up a fashionable sweater.
At night, Linda thought about the empty soup pot in Clara’s kitchen. She’d always brushed off Clara’s kindness with half-hearted lies. A heavy feeling settled in her chest.
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。
Linda didn’t know whether she should apologize to Clara.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At dawn, she headed to Clara’s house, hands shaking.

In a remote rainforest on the Hawaiian island, Bernie Krause kneels silently, adjusting a pair of microphones covered in leaves. Around him, all lives sing in harmony. But Krause isn’t just listening; he’s recording an ecosystem’s acoustic (声学的) DNA — a soundscape that may soon disappear. For over 50 years, this 84-year-old bioacoustician has travelled to Earth’s most threatened habitats, recording what he calls “nature’s grand orchestra (管弦乐队).” His mission? To preserve the planet’s acoustic heritage before human noise silences it forever.
Krause’s journey began unconventionally, In the 1960s, he was a session musician for Motown and played synthesizer with the band Beaver & Krause. But a key moment came in 1968 when he recorded a forest for an album. “I noticed each creature occupied its own acoustic space, like instruments in an orchestra,” he recalls. This revelation birthed his life’s work — soundscape ecology (声景生态学).
Armed with recording equipment, Krause has since captured over 5,000 hours of sound from 15,000 species across every continent. In 1988, he recorded a forest alive with birdsong. After selective tree cuttings, which woodcutters claimed “didn’t harm wildlife”, he returned. Everywhere he looked, the grass seemed unchanged. But actually, it was damaged. Over 50% of species’ voices had disappeared. “The silence,” Krause says, “was louder than any chainsaw (锯子).”
For Krause, sound is more than data; it’s emotional memory. He recalls a recording of a pack in Algonquin Park. When he played it back, a young wolf approached his speaker. “It recognized its family’s voices,” he smiles. “That connection-between species, across the acoustic web-is what we’re serving.”
As earphones pick up a rare Hawaiian honeycreeper’s call, Krause shuts his eyes. “Listen,” he whispers. “That bird might not sing here in ten years. But on my hard disk, it’ll sing forever.”
4. Why did Krause record ecosystem’s acoustic DNA?
A. To prevent habitats from danger. B. To protect natural sounds at risk.
C. To search for man-made noises. D. To promote. his grand orchestra.
5. What contributed to Krause’s lifelong work?
A. The job of being a musician. B. The work for his own album.
C. The vivid sounds from forests. D. The creatures’ sound positions.
6. What can be inferred from Krause’s work in 1988?
A. Nature can repair its damage quickly. B. Sound space can be destroyed unseen.
C. Species loss can be caused unnoticed. D. Human noise can break silence easily.
7. What does Krause imply in the last two paragraphs?
A. The basis for his research. B. The passion for his survey.
C. The limitations of his study. D. The values of his recordings.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. D

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“His mission? To preserve the planet’s acoustic heritage before human noise silences it forever.(他的使命?在人类的噪音使地球永远沉默之前,保护地球的声音遗产)”可知,Krause录制生态声音的核心目的是保护濒危的自然声学遗产。故选B。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“I noticed each creature occupied its own acoustic space, like instruments in an orchestra,” he recalls. This revelation birthed his life’s work — soundscape ecology (声景生态学)(我注意到每种生物都占据了自己的声音空间,就像管弦乐队中的乐器一样。这一启示催生了他一生的作品——声景生态学)”可知,“每种生物占据独特声学空间”这一发现,直接催生了他的终身事业。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Everywhere he looked, the grass seemed unchanged. But actually, it was damaged. Over 50% of species’ voices had disappeared.(他目之所及,草地似乎毫无变化。但事实上,草地已遭破坏 —— 超过 50% 的物种“声音”已然消失)”可知,森林在视觉上无明显变化,但声音生态已严重受损。由此可推知,声音环境可能受到无形影响。故选B。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读最后两段“For Krause, sound is more than data; it’s emotional memory. He recalls a recording of a pack in Algonquin Park. When he played it back, a young wolf approached his speaker. “It recognized its family’s voices,” he smiles. “That connection-between species, across the acoustic web-is what we’re serving.” As earphones pick up a rare Hawaiian honeycreeper’s call, Krause shuts his eyes. “Listen,” he whispers. “That bird might not sing here in ten years. But on my hard disk, it’ll sing forever.”(对Krause来说,声音不仅仅是数据;这是情感记忆。他回忆起在阿尔冈昆公园一个狼群的录音。当他回放时,一只小狼走近了他的扬声器。“它能识别出家人的声音,”他笑着说。“这种物种之间的联系,通过声学网络,就是我们所服务的。”当耳机听到一种罕见的夏威夷蜜雀的叫声时,Krause闭上了眼睛。“听着,”他低声说。“那只鸟可能十年后都不会在这里唱歌了。但在我的硬盘上,它将永远歌唱。”)”可知,这两段展现了Krause录音工作的多重价值:既有科学价值(记录生态声学联系),又有情感价值(唤起动物记忆),还具有保存价值和警示作用(永久留存濒危物种声音,动物已经不在,声音还在流传)。故选D。
C
For more than 3,500 years, the remains of the Xiaohe people lay undisturbed in Xinjiang until they were unearthed in 1979. Among the treasures dug up was the oldest preserved cheese in the world, spotted around the remains’ neck.
Now a team of researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences reports the first genetic (基因的) analysis of the cheese. Their results give us a vivid account of a rich Bronze Age culture that exchanged animals with other neighbouring peoples and may have helped spread cheese around East Asia, reflecting their cross-cultural communication. Just why they were buried with the stuff, though, remains imperfectly understood.
During their analysis, the team identified the DNA from a goat whose milk went into the cheeses, before comparing it with 185 previously sequenced goat genes. The genetic profile of the Xiaohe goat was similar to that of goats belonging to ancient Eurasian Steppe people, meaning the Xiaohe may have learned cheese-making from them.
All the Xiaohe cheeses would have been produced by drying kefir, a milk-based drink made with bacteria (细菌) such as Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens. The team, therefore, sequenced the DNA of that one bacterium and compared it with 15 modern varieties in order to identify its place within that species’ family tree. Their analysis showed that it belonged to a subspecies that could have spread with kefir-making customs from Xinjiang to regions including Tibet.
The team suspect that the cheese was an attractive alternative to raw milk. But it is possible that it was the kefir drink, rather than the cheese, that was the main attraction, says Paul Kindstedt, a cheese chemist and historian who was not involved in the research. It holds about 1% alcohol by volume. People in Mongolia today use kefir to make milk-based alcohol; the Xiaohe may have done so too.
“Ancient-cheese DNA analysis-of which this may be the first example-could reveal secrets about numerous other cultures. There are dairy remains on 7,000-year-old European pots, for example, and cheese may also have been used in ancient Egyptian burial practices,” says Dr Kindstedt.
8. What can be inferred about the Xiaohe people in paragraph 2?
A. They preferred an undisturbed life. B. They interacted with other cultures.
C. They conducted odd burial practices. D. They exchanged animals for cheese.
9. Why was the DNA of Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens studied?
A. To track the cheese-making origin. B. To clarify the cheese-making steps.
C. To figure out its structure. D. To dig into its superiority.
10. What is Paul Kindstedt’s opinion on the cheese?
A. It came from Mongolians’ finding. B. It may be a substitute of raw milk.
C. Its appeal was possibly-from kefir. D. Its attraction was affected by milk.
11. How does the author emphasize ancient-cheese DNA analysis’ significance?
A. By explaining a concept. B. By giving a definition.
C. By providing statistics. D. By quoting an expert.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D

The rapid development in artificial intelligence, or AI, has had the effect of bothering and transforming socioeconomic activities across industries ranging from health, trade, education and even the improvement of climate change.
However, as industries and governments across the globe are ready to take advantage of these possibilities, experts added that Africa needs supportive policies and improved facilities to seize the limitless opportunities of AI to quicken its development. Moreover, the experts said that the continent should not wait to have the rules in place in order to welcome the technology.
Fayaz King, an expert in digital public facilities from Zimbabwe, said AI has the potential to contribute up to $1.2 trillion to the African economy by 2030, representing a 5.6 percent increase in the continent’s GDP by 2030. Alfred Ongere, an information technology expert and the founder of Artificial Intelligence Kenya, a nongovernmental organization, said it is of much importance to manage AI in African countries because it can potentially be used in spreading misinformation, fake news, and disinformation. However, policymakers should first improve the state of the AI ecosystem.
Despite arguing against proper control by African governments, Ongere said that it is still significant to protect consumers from the risks caused by the uncontrolled application of AI on the continent. He appealed to African governments to develop an AI road map or policy paper without forcing rules that could potentially damage a promising sector. “AI-focused solutions should solve real-world challenges such as rural development and financial crisis. More importantly, efforts should be directed toward ensuring the commercial viability (商业可行性) of these solutions,” Ongere said.
King said that managing AI in Africa should deal with moral considerations such as data privacy, prejudice and transparency (透明性). As the use of AI continues to expand, it is likely that more countries will follow in introducing such regulations. “The question of management, especially in the African context is that Africa is not mature to have complete and sound rules on AI because Africa lacks the level of technology development that exists in developed nations.” King said.
12. What does the author want to stress in paragraph 1?
A. The effect of climate change on AI. B. The AI’s influence on various fields.
C. The breakthroughs of trade industry. D. The rapid development of education.
13. Why is it important to control AI in African countries?
A. It can be illegally spread. B. It may affect ecosystems.
C. It can be improperly used. D. It may ruin economic state.
14. Which of the following statement would Ongere agree with?
A. AI should focus on actual problems. B. AI can avoid ethical considerations.
C. AI can help people draw up policies. D. AI should protect users’ data privacy.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Africa’s Shortage of Policies In Rules
B. She Future of AI technology In Africa
C. Africa’s Calls to Control AI Grow Louder
D. AI’s Contributions to the African Economy
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. C

细节理解题。根据第三段“Alfred Ongere, an information technology expert and the founder of Artificial Intelligence Kenya, a nongovernmental organization, said it is of much importance to manage AI in African countries because it can potentially be used in spreading misinformation, fake news, and disinformation. (阿尔弗雷德・翁盖雷是信息技术专家,同时也是非政府组织“肯尼亚人工智能”的创始人,他表示在非洲各国对人工智能进行管理至关重要,因为人工智能有可能被用于传播错误信息、虚假新闻以及误导性信息)”,以及第四段 “Despite arguing against proper control by African governments, Ongere said that it is still significant to protect consumers from the risks caused by the uncontrolled application of AI on the continent. (尽管翁盖雷反对非洲各国政府对人工智能实施过度管控,但他仍表示,保护消费者免受非洲大陆人工智能无序应用所带来的风险,这一点依然具有重要意义)” 可知,管控的核心原因是AI可能被不当使用。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段翁盖雷的观点AI-focused solutions should solve real-world challenges such as rural development and financial crisis. More importantly, efforts should be directed toward ensuring the commercial viability of these solutions (以人工智能为核心的解决方案应着力解决现实世界中的难题,例如农村发展与金融危机。更重要的是,我们应努力确保这些解决方案具备商业可行性)” 可知,翁盖雷明确强调人工智能的应用需聚焦现实难题,如农村发展、金融危机等。故选A项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。全文围绕非洲AI发展的三重维度:经济潜力、管理挑战和战略建议。再结合最后一段 “The question of management, especially in the African context is that Africa is not mature to have complete and sound rules on AI because Africa lacks the level of technology development that exists in developed nations. (尤其在非洲背景下,管理问题的关键在于,非洲目前尚未具备制定全面、完善的人工智能规则的成熟条件,因为非洲的技术发展水平仍落后于发达国家)” 可知,全文核心始终围绕 “非洲需对AI进行管理与控制”,且多位专家均表达了相关诉求。故选C项。

I’m Li Hua, the president of the Students’ Union. We’re all excited about the upcoming teachers’ talent show and appreciate your active preparation by practicing Chinese songs.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之成为一篇完整的短文。
Honesty Strengthening the Friendship
Linda complained, “I can’t believe Ms. Carter gave us another essay due Friday,” turning to face Clara, who was busy tucking (塞) a note into her notebook. Clara looked up, with her eyes lighting up with that familiar eagerness Linda had come to both rely on and dislike. “I know! But maybe we could work on it together? My mom’s making pizzas tonight-you could stay over.”
Linda hesitated. The truth was she’d already promised her cousin to go shopping, but the thought of disappointing Clara made her feel guilty. “Oh, I can’t,” she lied. “I have to look after my little brother. He’s got a fever.” Clara’s forehead creased (皱眉), “Oh no! Is he okay? Do you need me to bring over soup or something? My grandma is good at making chicken soup.” “No, he’ll be fine,” Linda replied, hurrying toward the exit. She didn’t miss the way Clara’s smile gradually disappeared as she walked away.
It wasn’t the first time. Last month, when Clara had tearfully expressed she was struggling with her parents’ breaking up, Linda had nodded along without really paying attention, checking her phone for texts from the popular crowd. When Clara had noticed and asked if something was wrong, Linda had lied her battery was dying-even though she’d just charged it that morning.
Today, as Linda went shopping with her cousin, her phone made a noise. It was a message from Clara. “Hey, I just wanted to say I made more soup than needed. Tell me if you want me to bring some over.” Nervous and guilty, Linda typed, “Thanks, but my dad already got food to take home. Maybe another time?” Then she turned off her phone and forced a laugh as her cousin held up a fashionable sweater.
At night, Linda thought about the empty soup pot in Clara’s kitchen. She’d always brushed off Clara’s kindness with half-hearted lies. A heavy feeling settled in her chest.
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。
Linda didn’t know whether she should apologize to Clara.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At dawn, she headed to Clara’s house, hands shaking.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Linda didn’t know whether she should apologize to Clara. The lies felt like weights in her stomach-each one like a sharp reminder of how she’d taken Clara’s kindness for granted. What if Clara refused to forgive her? The thought of losing the only person who’d always been there, even when Linda was too busy chasing popularity to notice Clara’s kindness, made her chest achy. But she knew she couldn’t keep hiding behind half-truths. Clara deserved honesty, even if she might be hurt.
At dawn, she headed to Clara’s house, hands shaking. When Clara opened the door, her eyes were soft. Linda’s throat tightened. “I’m sorry,” she whispered with her voice breaking. “About the essay, about your mom…about everything. I lied because I was scared of disappointing you, but I only made it worse.” Clara stepped aside, silent. She said finally, “I’m just glad you told me the truth. That’s all that matters.” Upon hearing the words, Linda hugged Clara with tears blurring the view. Suddenly, she came to realize that some lies fade away but honesty can deepen their friendship.
【解析】
【导语】本文以“诚实与友谊”为核心线索展开,讲述了Linda多次用谎言敷衍好友Clara的善意,在内心饱受愧疚折磨后,最终选择主动道歉、坦诚内心,进而领悟到“诚实能深化友谊” 的故事。
【详解】1. 段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“Linda不知是否该道歉。”可知,第一段描写Linda内心挣扎。
②由第二段首句内容“黎明时,Linda朝着Clara家的方向走去,双手颤抖。”可知,第二段描写Linda主动道歉,二人重归旧好。
2. 续写线索:内心愧疚——挣扎犹豫——下定决心——主动道歉——好友原谅——领悟真谛
3. 词汇激活
行为类:
道歉:apologize/make an apology
隐瞒:hide behind/cover up
拥抱:hug/embrace/hold in arms
情绪类:
愧疚:guilty/ashamed
紧张:nervous/tense/with hands shaking
欣慰:glad/relieved/pleased
【点睛】【高分句型1】The lies felt like weights in her stomach-each one like a sharp reminder of how she’d taken Clara’s kindness for granted. (运用了how引导的宾语从句)
【高分句型2】Upon hearing the words, Linda hugged Clara with tears blurring the view. (运用了upon+动名词及with复合结构)
