The truth was that my friend never failed in any subjects. I just think that she can't accept failures because she lives her life as a perfectionist (完美主义者). What she fails to understand is that a lot of good can come from failures. For example, failure can help build relationships. Once was cooking dinner for a friend. I was tired, and several dishes I tried to make turned out bad. I grew more and more upset until my friend told me that I shouldn't worry. She cared more about our friendship than the dishes. That day, I learned that failure doesn't always make people dislike you. In fact, after she said those words to me, I grew closer to her. Failure can make success ever more exciting. Every few years, there would be an important test in the PE class at our school. Students had to run a mile within eight minutes. I was never good at running, so I failed every time until the third year at school. Then I began working out regularly, and yet I still failed that year. A few days later, however, the teacher gave me and some other students another chance to run and I got a pass finally! You can 't imagine how excited I was after that. I felt the memory of the success was as sweet as honey, because I had to overcome failure to reach it. Now its clear to see that failure can teach us good lessons. It's not an end—it can be a beginning. 24. What can we learn about the author's best friend from the first two paragraphs? A. She liked taking tests. B. She was afraid of failures. C. She often failed in study. D. She knew how to be perfect. 25. What did the author finally get from a failed cooking? A. Bad feelings. B. Worries. C. A closer friendship. D. More experience. 26. Why did the author feel excited after the running test? A. Because she could work out regularly. B. Because she received honey as a reward. C. Because she got another chance to take the test. D. Because she achieved success after many failures. 27. The author wrote this passage________. A. to show the negative effects of failures B. to point out her best friends fear of failures C. to encourage the readers to face failures bravely D. to introduce different types of failures C To the human ears, a field of flowers is silent, except the noise of birds and insects. To certain animal ears, however, a field of flowers is full of conversation. Now, scientists have discovered that plants actually make noise as a way of communicating. In other words, they talk! It has long been known that plants communicate when they are stressed. You need only watch a houseplant to realize that a plant lowers its head when it needs water, or turns yellow when it has been watered too much. Some plants also send out a bad smell when stressed to try and stop insects from taking advantage of their stressed state and eating them up. Now, a new study that was published in Cell and conducted by researchers at Tel Aviv University, shows that not only do plants express themselves in the above ways when stressed, they also make sounds, like talking. According to NoCamels, plants send out sounds at frequencies (频率) between 40 to 80 kilohertz — out of the range (范围) of human ears, but within the range of some animals. “Bats (蝙蝠) make sounds in these ranges all the time, and mice, dogs and cats can partly hear within it,” Dr. Lilach Hadany, one of the authors of the study, told NoCamels. What is surprising about Hadany’s study is that the researchers have managed to understand and group the sounds that plants make for the first time. Plants that are not stressed make about one noise per hour, but plants that are stressed, thirsty, or injured make many hundreds of sounds per hour; and each of these sounds seems to show the certain type of stress the plant is under. This type of information could be key for agriculture (农业). Knowing what sounds their plants are making will help farmers determine whether their plants are in danger or disease and allow them to make the necessary changes to allow their plants to grow well. 28. Why do some plants send out a bad smell? A. To show they hate birds. B. To say they are in need of water. C. To protect themselves from danger. D. To tell people to stop watering them. 29. Which of the following can hear plants most clearly? A. Humans. B. Cats. C. Dogs. D. Bats. 30. What does the last paragraph focus on? A. The big problems farmers have been facing. B. The possible application of the new study. C. The ways for farmers to learn plants’ languages. D. The points needed to be improved for the study. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Plants Change Their Looks to Ask for Help B. Necessary Changes Are Made to Agriculture C. Plants Can Make Sounds to Communicate D. A Field of Plants Is Silent to the Human Ears D No one can say whether human-like robots will have a sweet dream, but they will almost certainly need periods of rest that offer benefits like what sleep provides to living brains, according to new research from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). “We study spiking neural networks (尖峰神经网络), which are systems that learn much as living brains do,” said Yijing Watkins, a computer scientist from LANL. “We trained a neuromorphic (神经形态的) processor in a way how humans and other biological systems learn from their environment during childhood development.” Watkins and her research team found that the network simulations (模拟) became unstable after continuous periods of unattended learning. When they exposed the networks to states that are analogous to what living brains experience during sleep, stability was recovered. “It was as though we were giving the neural networks a good night’s rest,” said Watkins. The discovery came about as the research team worked to develop neural networks that are as close as how humans and other biological systems learn to see. The group initially struggled with stabilizing simulated neural networks undergoing unattended dictionary training, which involves classifying objects without providing examples to compare them to. The researchers expose the networks to an artificial simulation of sleep as nearly a final effort to stabilize them. They experimented with various types of noise. The best results came when they used waves of so-called Gaussian noise. These waves can make sure that the neural networks keep stable. The group’s next goal is to apply their algorithm (算法) to Intel’s Loihi, a product which uses spiking neural networks to work. They hope allowing Loihi to sleep from time to time will enable it to stably process information from a camera in real time. If it can confirm the need for sleep in artificial brains, we can probably expect the same to be true of human-like robots and other intelligent machines that may come about in the future. 32. What did Watkins and her research team find? A. Neural networks are far from stable. B. Artificial brains may need break as well. C. Neural networks are very sensitive to noise. D. Human-like robots need equal rest to humans. 33. What does the underlined word “analogous” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Contrary. B. Beneficial. C. Similar. D. Related. 34. Why will the researchers apply the algorithm to Loihi? A. To better update Loihi. B. To enable Loihi to run faster. C. To further confirm their discovery. D. To make sure Loihi get enough sleep. 35. In which section can we probably find this article? A. Mind & Brain. B. Business & Industry. C. Medicine & Care. D. Computer & Science. 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。 How to Make Sure You Enjoy Your Trip A trip is a planned journey that one arranges in advance and whose main purpose is to search for adventure and to create a memorable moment.

His father John, a hard-working architect, and his mother Sarah, a great teacher, had always struggled to provide the best for Ethan. As Ethan entered high school, something began to change their once harmonious home. School grades were the first battleground. While John believed in traditional hard work, Ethan, a creative boy, found himself crazy about art. Every time he painted well, his mother Sarah would praise and encourage him, but John only thought it was a waste of time. So Ethan often argued with his father. One stormy night, the conflict (矛盾) came to a head. John, reviewing Ethan’s report card, frowned (皱眉) at the grades. “Ethan, you must focus more on your studies. These grades won’t help you become an engineer. Stop painting!” Ethan couldn’t bear the disappointment in his father’s eyes, and argued back, “Dad, I want to be a painter, not an engineer.” Sarah, trying to stop the argument, quickly said, “John, maybe we should let Ethan have a try. It could be his true calling.” However, John stuck to his belief and replied, “Art won’t put food on the table or pay the bills. He needs a stable job.” Sarah was between her husband and son and tried to settle the argument. 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。 Sarah, who often helped solve problems between John and Ethan, saw their pain. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the storm outside got calmer, there was new found understanding among them. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语 考生注意： 1.满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 3.本卷命题范围：必修第一册至选择性必修第一册Unit 3。 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?

She and I had this conversation almost every day while we were in high school. The truth was that my friend never failed in any subjects. I just think that she can't accept failures because she lives her life as a perfectionist (完美主义者). What she fails to understand is that a lot of good can come from failures. For example, failure can help build relationships. Once was cooking dinner for a friend. I was tired, and several dishes I tried to make turned out bad. I grew more and more upset until my friend told me that I shouldn't worry. She cared more about our friendship than the dishes. That day, I learned that failure doesn't always make people dislike you. In fact, after she said those words to me, I grew closer to her. Failure can make success ever more exciting. Every few years, there would be an important test in the PE class at our school. Students had to run a mile within eight minutes. I was never good at running, so I failed every time until the third year at school. Then I began working out regularly, and yet I still failed that year. A few days later, however, the teacher gave me and some other students another chance to run and I got a pass finally! You can 't imagine how excited I was after that. I felt the memory of the success was as sweet as honey, because I had to overcome failure to reach it. Now its clear to see that failure can teach us good lessons. It's not an end—it can be a beginning. 24. What can we learn about the author's best friend from the first two paragraphs? A. She liked taking tests. B. She was afraid of failures. C. She often failed in study. D. She knew how to be perfect. 25. What did the author finally get from a failed cooking? A. Bad feelings. B. Worries. C. A closer friendship. D. More experience. 26. Why did the author feel excited after the running test? A. Because she could work out regularly. B. Because she received honey as a reward. C. Because she got another chance to take the test. D. Because she achieved success after many failures. 27. The author wrote this passage________. A. to show the negative effects of failures B. to point out her best friends fear of failures C. to encourage the readers to face failures bravely D. to introduce different types of failures 【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者通过自己的经历论述了失败的好处。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“I just think that she can't accept failures because she lives her life as a perfectionist.（我只是觉得她无法接受失败因为她过着完美主义者的生活。）”可知，作者最好的朋友害怕失败，故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“She cared more about our friendship than the dishes. That day, I learned that failure doesn't always make people dislike you. In fact, after she said those words to me, I grew closer to her.（比起盘子，她更在乎我们的友谊。那天，我明白了失败并不总是会让人们讨厌你。事实上，在她对我说了这些话之后，我和她更亲近了。 ）”可知，作者最终从一次失败的烹饪中得到了更亲密的友谊，故选C。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“I was never good at running, so I failed every time until the third year at school....A few days later, however, the teacher gave me and some other students another chance to run and I got a pass finally! （我从来不擅长跑步，所以每次都失败，直到三年级......然而，几天后，老师又给了我和其他同学一次跑步的机会，我终于通过了!）”可知，作者在跑步测试后很兴奋是因为她在多次失败后取得了成功。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段的“Now its clear to see that failure can teach us good lessons. It's not an end—it can be a beginning.（现在很明显，失败可以给我们很好的教训。这不是结束，它可能是一个开始。）”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是鼓励读者勇敢面对失败，故选C。 C To the human ears, a field of flowers is silent, except the noise of birds and insects. To certain animal ears, however, a field of flowers is full of conversation. Now, scientists have discovered that plants actually make noise as a way of communicating. In other words, they talk! It has long been known that plants communicate when they are stressed. You need only watch a houseplant to realize that a plant lowers its head when it needs water, or turns yellow when it has been watered too much. Some plants also send out a bad smell when stressed to try and stop insects from taking advantage of their stressed state and eating them up. Now, a new study that was published in Cell and conducted by researchers at Tel Aviv University, shows that not only do plants express themselves in the above ways when stressed, they also make sounds, like talking. According to NoCamels, plants send out sounds at frequencies (频率) between 40 to 80 kilohertz — out of the range (范围) of human ears, but within the range of some animals. “Bats (蝙蝠) make sounds in these ranges all the time, and mice, dogs and cats can partly hear within it,” Dr. Lilach Hadany, one of the authors of the study, told NoCamels. What is surprising about Hadany’s study is that the researchers have managed to understand and group the sounds that plants make for the first time. Plants that are not stressed make about one noise per hour, but plants that are stressed, thirsty, or injured make many hundreds of sounds per hour; and each of these sounds seems to show the certain type of stress the plant is under. This type of information could be key for agriculture (农业). Knowing what sounds their plants are making will help farmers determine whether their plants are in danger or disease and allow them to make the necessary changes to allow their plants to grow well. 28. Why do some plants send out a bad smell? A. To show they hate birds. B. To say they are in need of water. C. To protect themselves from danger. D. To tell people to stop watering them. 29. Which of the following can hear plants most clearly? A. Humans. B. Cats. C. Dogs. D. Bats. 30. What does the last paragraph focus on? A. The big problems farmers have been facing. B. The possible application of the new study. C. The ways for farmers to learn plants’ languages. D. The points needed to be improved for the study. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Plants Change Their Looks to Ask for Help B. Necessary Changes Are Made to Agriculture C. Plants Can Make Sounds to Communicate D. A Field of Plants Is Silent to the Human Ears 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。科学家发现植物在压力下不仅通过低头、变色等传统方式表达，还会发出人耳听不到的声响进行沟通。这些声音频率在40至80千赫兹之间，部分动物能听到。研究首次解析了植物的声音类型，根据不同声音可判断植物是否遭受压力、干旱或伤害，有助于农业生产者及时采取措施保障作物健康生长。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Some plants also send out a bad smell when stressed to try and stop insects from taking advantage of their stressed state and eating them up. (一些植物在受到压力时也会发出难闻的气味，试图阻止昆虫利用它们的压力状态吃掉它们。)”可知，一些植物发出难闻的气味是为了不被吃掉，即自我保护。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“According to NoCamels, plants send out sounds at frequencies (频率) between 40 to 80 kilohertz—out of the range (范围) of human ears, but within the range of some animals. “Bats (蝙蝠) make sounds in these ranges all the time, and mice, dogs and cats can partly hear within it,” Dr. Lilach Hadany, one of the authors of the study, told NoCamels. (根据NoCamels的说法，植物发出的声音频率在40到80千赫兹之间，超出了人耳的听觉范围，但在一些动物的听觉范围内。“蝙蝠一直在这个范围内发出声音，老鼠、狗和猫都能在这个范围内听到部分声音，”该研究的作者之一利拉克·哈达尼博士告诉NoCamels。)”可知，蝙蝠能够最清楚地听到植物的声音。故选D。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“This type of information could be key for agriculture (农业). Knowing what sounds their plants are making will help farmers determine whether their plants are in danger or disease and allow them to make the necessary changes to allow their plants to grow well. (这类信息可能对农业至关重要。了解他们的植物发出的声音将帮助农民确定他们的植物是否处于危险或疾病之中，并使他们能够做出必要的改变，使他们的植物生长得更好。)”可知，本段聚焦于该项新研究的可能的应用。故选B。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Now, scientists have discovered that plants actually make noise as a way of communicating. In other words, they talk! (现在，科学家们已经发现植物发出声音实际上是一种交流的方式。换句话说，他们会说话！)”可知，本文主要介绍了项新的研究发现——植物可以发声。故选C。 D No one can say whether human-like robots will have a sweet dream, but they will almost certainly need periods of rest that offer benefits like what sleep provides to living brains, according to new research from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). “We study spiking neural networks (尖峰神经网络), which are systems that learn much as living brains do,” said Yijing Watkins, a computer scientist from LANL. “We trained a neuromorphic (神经形态的) processor in a way how humans and other biological systems learn from their environment during childhood development.” Watkins and her research team found that the network simulations (模拟) became unstable after continuous periods of unattended learning. When they exposed the networks to states that are analogous to what living brains experience during sleep, stability was recovered. “It was as though we were giving the neural networks a good night’s rest,” said Watkins. The discovery came about as the research team worked to develop neural networks that are as close as how humans and other biological systems learn to see. The group initially struggled with stabilizing simulated neural networks undergoing unattended dictionary training, which involves classifying objects without providing examples to compare them to. The researchers expose the networks to an artificial simulation of sleep as nearly a final effort to stabilize them. They experimented with various types of noise. The best results came when they used waves of so-called Gaussian noise. These waves can make sure that the neural networks keep stable. The group’s next goal is to apply their algorithm (算法) to Intel’s Loihi, a product which uses spiking neural networks to work. They hope allowing Loihi to sleep from time to time will enable it to stably process information from a camera in real time. If it can confirm the need for sleep in artificial brains, we can probably expect the same to be true of human-like robots and other intelligent machines that may come about in the future. 32. What did Watkins and her research team find? A. Neural networks are far from stable. B. Artificial brains may need break as well. C Neural networks are very sensitive to noise. D. Human-like robots need equal rest to humans. 33. What does the underlined word “analogous” in paragraph 2 mean? A Contrary. B. Beneficial. C. Similar. D. Related. 34. Why will the researchers apply the algorithm to Loihi? A. To better update Loihi. B. To enable Loihi to run faster. C. To further confirm their discovery. D. To make sure Loihi get enough sleep. 35. In which section can we probably find this article? A. Mind & Brain. B. Business & Industry. C. Medicine & Care. D. Computer & Science. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. C 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室的一项最新研究表明，机器人运行一段时间后也需要一段时间的休息，这种休息带来的好处与睡眠给人类带来的好处类似。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“No one can say whether human-like robots will have a sweet dream, but they will almost certainly need periods of rest that offer benefits like what sleep provides to living brains, according to new research from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).(洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室的一项最新研究表明，没有人能说类人机器人是否会做一个甜美的梦，但它们几乎肯定需要休息一段时间，这种休息带来的好处与睡眠给人类带来的好处类似)”以及第二段“Watkins and her research team found that the network simulations became unstable after continuous periods of unattended learning.(沃特金斯和她的研究团队发现，在连续的无人值守学习后，网络模拟变得不稳定)”可知，沃特金斯和她的研究团队发现人造大脑可能也需要休息。故选B项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Watkins and her research team found that the network simulations became unstable after continuous periods of unattended learning. When they exposed the networks to states that are analogous to what living brains experience during sleep, stability was recovered. “It was as though we were giving the neural networks a good night’s rest,” said Watkins.(沃特金斯和她的研究团队发现，在连续的无人值守学习后，网络模拟变得不稳定。当他们将网络暴露在analogous人脑在睡眠中经历的状态时，稳定性得到了恢复。沃特金斯说：“这就像我们让神经网络好好休息了一夜。”)”可知，在连续的无人值守学习后，人造大脑的网络变得不稳定，当将网络置于类似于人脑睡眠的状态时，稳定性得以恢复，推测划线单词表示“类似的”，与similar同义。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The group’s next goal is to apply their algorithm to Intel’s Loihi, a product which uses spiking neural networks to work. They hope allowing Loihi to sleep from time to time will enable it to stably process information from a camera in real time. If it can confirm the need for sleep in artificial brains, we can probably expect the same to be true of human-like robots and other intelligent machines that may come about in the future.(该团队的下一个目标是将他们的算法应用于英特尔的Loihi，这是一种使用尖峰神经网络工作的产品。他们希望，允许Loihi不时睡觉将使它能够稳定地实时处理来自摄像机的信息。如果它能证实在人造大脑中睡眠的必要性，我们很可能期望类似人类的机器人和未来可能出现的其他智能机器也是如此)”可知，研究人员会将该算法应用于Loihi是为了进一步证实他们的发现，睡眠对于人造大脑而言是必要的。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“No one can say whether human-like robots will have a sweet dream, but they will almost certainly need periods of rest that offer benefits like what sleep provides to living brains, according to new research from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).(洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室的一项最新研究表明，没有人能说类人机器人是否会做一个甜美的梦，但它们几乎肯定需要休息一段时间，这种休息带来的好处与睡眠给人类带来的好处类似)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室的一项最新研究表明，机器人运行一段时间后也需要一段时间的休息，推测文章可能出自计算机与科学部分。故选D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。 How to Make Sure You Enjoy Your Trip A trip is a planned journey that one arranges in advance and whose main purpose is to search for adventure and to create a memorable moment.

His father John, a hard-working architect, and his mother Sarah, a great teacher, had always struggled to provide the best for Ethan. As Ethan entered high school, something began to change their once harmonious home. School grades were the first battleground. While John believed in traditional hard work, Ethan, a creative boy, found himself crazy about art. Every time he painted well, his mother Sarah would praise and encourage him, but John only thought it was a waste of time. So Ethan often argued with his father. One stormy night, the conflict (矛盾) came to a head. John, reviewing Ethan’s report card, frowned (皱眉) at the grades. “Ethan, you must focus more on your studies. These grades won’t help you become an engineer. Stop painting!” Ethan couldn’t bear the disappointment in his father’s eyes, and argued back, “Dad, I want to be a painter, not an engineer.” Sarah, trying to stop the argument, quickly said, “John, maybe we should let Ethan have a try. It could be his true calling.” However, John stuck to his belief and replied, “Art won’t put food on the table or pay the bills. He needs a stable job.” Sarah was between her husband and son and tried to settle the argument. 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。 Sarah, who often helped solve problems between John and Ethan, saw their pain. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the storm outside got calmer, there was new found understanding among them. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Sarah, who often helped solve problems between John and Ethan, saw their pain. She understood John’s desire to protect their son from unstable life, but also recognized Ethan’s passion and talent. After a while, Sarah suggested that she and John find a way to keep a balance between Ethan’s love for art and his schoolwork. John, though still worried, agreed to think it again. He gradually understood Ethan’s talent and happiness. He also realized he had been so focused on the grades that he missed seeing Ethan’s true passion. As the storm outside got calmer, there was new found understanding among them. John decided to support Ethan’s art and studies. Ethan felt relieved and promised to work harder in both. Sarah happily saw the conflict was solved, knowing Ethan would fulfill his promise. From then on, Ethan often took part in various art shows and got great achievements. John and Sarah were always his biggest supporters. As he had promised, Ethan did well in balancing his studies and art, working hard to fulfill his dream. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了在一个宁静的小镇上，住着幸福的一家三口。父亲John是一名勤劳的建筑师，母亲Sarah是一名敬业的老师。当儿子Ethan进入高中的时候，他们的平静生活发生了改变。父亲希望儿子能够好好学习，成为一名工程师，而Ethan却喜欢画画。因为此事，他们发生了争吵。Sarah经常在中间调节。在一个风雨交加的晚上，父子俩再次因为成绩发生了争吵。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“萨拉在两人之间左右为难，试图解决这个问题。”可知，第一段可描写Sarah试图解决父子俩的矛盾，最后夫妻俩决定找到一种方法来平衡Ethan对艺术的热爱和他的学业。最后他们终于看到了Ethan的才华。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着外面的风暴逐渐平静下来，他们的家庭内部开始有了新的理解。”可知，第二段可描写父亲开始支持Ethan的选择，Ethan也决定要好好学，他们又开始了幸福的生活。。 2.续写线索：父子争吵——母亲调节父子矛盾——父亲看到儿子才华——父亲支持儿子画画——儿子理解父亲——追求梦想 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①影响：affect/have an effect on ②解决：solve/settle ③专注于：focus on/concentrate on 情绪类 ①担心的：worried/concerned ②高兴地：happilly/with delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] After a while, Sarah suggested that she and John find a way to keep a balance between Ethan’s love for art and his schoolwork.（运用了that引导了宾语从句） [高分句型2] Sarah happily saw the conflict was solved, knowing Ethan would fulfill his promise.（运用了现在分词作伴随状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $请看听力部分第一节，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ABC3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。例如现在你有5秒钟的时间看试卷上的例题。你将听到以下内容。excuse me, can you please tell me how much the shirt is?
