B The librarians at Baton Rouge’s public libraries have always taken pride in answering every question, from recipes to football events. But after the catastrophic 2016 floods, the questions changed. People urgently needed to know how to contact FEMA, get help with bills, or find a homeless shelter. These needs went far beyond books; people required time, guidance, and practical help. Recognizing this, the libraries partnered with Volunteers of America Greater Baton Rouge (VOAGBR), a nonprofit. In 2017, they launched a 90-day pilot program, stationing VOAGBR caseworkers in three library branches three nights a week. Melissa Peeler, a worker of VOAGBR, initially wondered if anyone would approach her. That evening, only a homeless man seemed to notice her. When he finally asked what she was doing, she explained she was there to offer social service help. “I just need a place to sleep,” he said. Melissa provided a list of shelters and pointed out VOAGBR’s nearby drop-in center, which offered showers, computers, and even could assist with obtaining identity documents. “Really? I never knew that. Thanks! I’m glad you’re here,” he replied. Word spread. Soon, people came to Melissa with complex needs—finding jobs, securing donated school supplies—questions traditional librarians couldn’t answer. “Before I talked to you, I didn’t know what to do,” one woman thanked her. The program’s impact became undeniable. One day, a man made a beeline for Melissa, proudly showing a VOAGBR ID from the drop-in center. “I don’t know what I would have done without you guys!” he said. The pilot program was renewed for a full year. In just six months, VOAGBR assisted 248 people in the libraries they might not have reached otherwise, expanding services to include programs like monthly free legal advice. People now depend on this presence. Baton Rouge’s libraries hold books full of wisdom, but what the libraries and VOAGBR offer is a different kind of guidance—one of immediate compassion and community support, truly bringing the spirit of service to life. 4. Why did the libraries partner with VOAGBR? A. To help find affordable housing. B. To meet people’s practical needs. C. To answer book-related questions. D. To rescue people affected by the floods. 5. How was Melissa’s experience in the program? A. Worrying. B. Disappointing. C. Moving. D. Rewarding. 6. Which word can best describe the program? A. Conventional. B. Temporary. C. Fruitful. D. Time-consuming. 7. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To highlight the theme. B. To add some details. C. To describe a scene. D. To present new views. C A total of 52 giant panda fossils have been discovered in Shuanghe Cave in Suiyang county, Southwest China’s Guizhou province, making Shuanghe the site with the largest number of such fossils in the world, according to a Friday press conference on the results of the 24th International Cave Science Expedition. The 52 fossils include six that were uncovered during a recent scientific expedition. “Many mammalian fossils have been discovered in Shuanghe Cave, among which the giant panda fossils are the most prominent,” said Wang Deyuan, an associate research fellow at the Guizhou Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Mountain Resources. The fossils are evidence that giant pandas lived in Guizhou from 100,000 years ago to a few hundred years ago, forming a relatively continuous chronological sequence. Teeth analysis suggests most of these giant pandas were subadult or new adult individuals. Numerous limb bones and skulls found at the site have also enabled researchers to study the evolutionary changes in the species’ body weight. Their study found that giant pandas reached their maximum body weight during the Middle Pleistocene, after which it began to decrease until it developed into its present level. With a total length of 439.7 kilometers, Shuanghe Cave is the longest cave in Asia and the third-longest in the world. It has been the site of 24 international joint scientific expeditions since the late 1980s. 8. What makes Shuanghe Cave special in the world? A. It’s the longest cave ever found. B. It has the most giant panda fossils. C. It’s where pandas live today. D. It’s in Guizhou province. 9. How do scientists know pandas lived in Guizhou for a long time? A. They found live pandas there. B. The cave is very long. C. Pandas are getting lighter. D. The fossils are from 100,000 to a few hundred years ago. 10. What did scientists learn from studying panda bones? A. Pandas were heaviest during the Middle Pleistocene. B Pandas’ weight has stayed the same. C. Pandas were lightest in the Middle Pleistocene. D. All pandas found were very old. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A A cave in China is very long and has had many scientific visits. B. 52 Fossil discoveries in a Chinese cave are about giant pandas’ history and evolution. C. Giant pandas used to be much heavier in the past than they are today. D. Scientists found both old and new giant panda fossils in the same cave. D An electronic retinal implant (视网膜植入) has improved vision in people with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Scientists have used an eye implant to improve the vision of dozens of people left functionally blind by AMD. The implant which measures 2 millimetres by 2 millimetres, and is just 30 micrometres thick, is surgically put beneath the retina to replace the light-sensitive cells that have been lost to the disease. The implant, termed PRIMA, is wireless, unlike previous retinal devices. And being photovoltaic (光电的), the light particles that activate it also provide the energy source for generating its electrical output. It is used in combination with glasses that contain a camera that captures images and changes them into patterns of invisible light that is sent to the retinal implant. The system, which allows users to zoom in and out on target objects, and adjust contrast and brightness, does take months of intensive training to use best. In the current study, 38 individuals were treated at 17 clinical sites across 5 European countries, and 32 of the participants were tested a year after implantation. 26 of them had a clinically meaningful improvement in their vision, which, on average, meant being able to see two lines further down a standard eye test chart of letters. Overall, most participants’ vision came close to the resolution (分辨率) that PRIMA can achieve. However, a questionnaire about users’ daily quality of life revealed no significant overall improvements. They said the results would be more convincing if the improvement had been shown by comparing it with a random treatment group. And users’ reading is “not fast, smooth reading”. The vision provided is also black and white, not colour. Trial leader Frank Holz acknowledges the current system has limitations, and he expects future implants to be more effective. “With this first major breakthrough, it’s a starting point for further improvement,” he says, “And where this dead retina was a complete blind spot, vision was restored. Patients could read letters and words, and they could function in their daily life.” 12. What can be known about PRIMA according to the text? A. It requires modest training for best results. B. It allows glasses to send normal images to it. C. It is both activated and powered by light particles. D. It can restore normal vision by replacing lost cells. 13. What can be concluded from the study? A. The implant proved instantly effective on the patients. B. The 38 participants showed improved vision a year later. C. The involved patients could see two lines on the eye chart. D. Most patients’ vision reached the best level with the device. 14. Which of the following PRIMA limitations is not clearly mentioned? A. Black-and-white vision. B. Frequent eye discomfort. C. Slow and difficult reading. D. Unconvincing vision improvement. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A PRIMA: Its Progress and Limitations B. PRIMA: How It Improves Vision C. PRIMA: A Training for AMD Blindness D. PRIMA: A New Life for AMD Patients 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Pickleball, a popular racket (球拍) sport that mixes fun and fitness, has gotten attention worldwide — especially in groups wanting activities everyone can join. ___16___ Created by a family entertaining guests on a weekend trip, it takes parts from tennis, badminton and table tennis, so new players can learn it easily even without racket sport experience. ___17___ The court is like a badminton court. It is 20ft wide and 44ft long for doubles play, but it has a lower net. The net is 34 inches high, while badminton’s net is 5ft high. Players use wood or mixed-material rackets. These rackets are bigger than table tennis rackets. They also use a light plastic ball with 26-40 holes, which slow the ball’s flight. Games are usually doubles, but singles are common too.

The sense of belonging goes beyond the court, with social events, leagues, and tournaments fostering lifelong connections. Pickleball can be played in both indoor and outdoor settings, but there are key differences between these environments that players must adapt to. Indoor pickleball is typically played on a smaller court with lower ceilings, while outdoor pickleball is played on a larger court with wind and sun becoming factors. ___19___ Pickleball is fun and good for health.

Vera was hesitant about bringing a pet into their lives. This disagreement had cast a shadow over their relationship, making Anna feel unsure of her mother’s love. On the morning of her twelfth birthday, Anna noticed something near their garden walls while having breakfast. It took her a moment to figure out what it was, but eventually, she realized it was a little dog. Anna wondered what to do, but ultimately decided to go out. She couldn’t just leave the dog alone! Anna walked up to the dog and extended a hand. The dog took a few steps backward, but it didn’t seem to be terrified of her. He began to sniff (嗅) her hand just seconds later. Anna patted the dog’s head in response. The dog seemed comfortable with this gesture of affection and stood up to get closer to Anna. Then, Anna saw a key underneath him. “What is that?” Anna wondered curiously. She picked it up and remembered one neighbor who told Anna that she was an expert of keys just the day before. She hurried to her neighbor’s house, taking the dog and the key. When Anna came with the dog in her arms, her neighbor wowed in amazement. “I found it, along with this key,” Anna carefully placed the key on her neighbor’s desk. With a magnifying lens (放大镜), her neighbor examined the key and confidently told her, “I know what this key is for. You can get inside Velor Castle’s garden with this key. It has information carved in tiny letters on it.” Though unsure, Anna reasoned, “Perhaps the dog’s owners live there.” The garden was nearby, so that’s where Anna headed. At the garden gate, the anxious girl put the key into the keyhole. As soon as it clicked, the door was unlocked. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Vera and many others were inside! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing Vera’s words, Anna realized who the dog’s owners would be. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ (在此卷上答题无效) 2024—2025学年(上)高三年级第二次模拟考试 英语(B) 考生注意： 1.本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3.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。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有2分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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?

Melissa Peeler, a worker of VOAGBR, initially wondered if anyone would approach her. That evening, only a homeless man seemed to notice her. When he finally asked what she was doing, she explained she was there to offer social service help. “I just need a place to sleep,” he said. Melissa provided a list of shelters and pointed out VOAGBR’s nearby drop-in center, which offered showers, computers, and even could assist with obtaining identity documents. “Really? I never knew that. Thanks! I’m glad you’re here,” he replied. Word spread. Soon, people came to Melissa with complex needs—finding jobs, securing donated school supplies—questions traditional librarians couldn’t answer. “Before I talked to you, I didn’t know what to do,” one woman thanked her. The program’s impact became undeniable. One day, a man made a beeline for Melissa, proudly showing a VOAGBR ID from the drop-in center. “I don’t know what I would have done without you guys!” he said. The pilot program was renewed for a full year. In just six months, VOAGBR assisted 248 people in the libraries they might not have reached otherwise, expanding services to include programs like monthly free legal advice. People now depend on this presence. Baton Rouge’s libraries hold books full of wisdom, but what the libraries and VOAGBR offer is a different kind of guidance—one of immediate compassion and community support, truly bringing the spirit of service to life. 4. Why did the libraries partner with VOAGBR? A. To help find affordable housing. B. To meet people’s practical needs. C. To answer book-related questions. D. To rescue people affected by the floods. 5. How was Melissa’s experience in the program? A. Worrying. B. Disappointing. C. Moving. D. Rewarding. 6. Which word can best describe the program? A. Conventional. B. Temporary. C. Fruitful. D. Time-consuming. 7. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To highlight the theme. B. To add some details. C. To describe a scene. D. To present new views. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了巴吞鲁日市公共图书馆在2016年洪水后，为满足市民超出书籍范畴的实际需求，与VOAGBR合作开展社会服务项目，为社区提供及时帮扶与支持，践行服务精神的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“These needs went far beyond books, people required time, guidance, and practical help.(这些需求远不止于书籍，人们还需要时间、指导以及切实的帮助)”以及第二段中的“Recognizing this, the libraries partnered with Volunteers of America Greater Baton Rouge(VOAGBR), a nonprofit.(图书馆意识到这一点后，便与非营利组织VOAGBR展开了合作)”可知，洪水后人们的需求远超书籍范畴，需要实际帮助，图书馆因此展开合作。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Melissa Peeler, a worker of VOAGBR, initially wondered if anyone would approach her. That evening, only a homeless man seemed to notice her.(VOAGBR 的工作人员梅利莎·皮勒起初还担心会不会有人来找她求助。那天晚上，只有一个无家可归的男士注意到了她)”、这个无家可归的男士说的话“I never knew that. Thanks! I’m glad you’re here,(我之前完全不知道这些。谢谢！你能在这里真是太好了)”以及第四段中的“Word spread. Soon, people came to Melissa with complex needs(消息很快传开了。不久，就有人们带着复杂的需求来找梅利莎)”可知，从最初担心无人问津，到成功帮助他人并获得感谢，后续还吸引了更多有需求的人，印证了梅利莎的经历是有收获的。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The program’s impact became undeniable.(这个项目的影响力已毋庸置疑)”和第六段中的“In just six months, VOAGBR assisted 248 people in the libraries they might not have reached otherwise, expanding services to include programs like monthly free legal advice.(仅在六个月内，VOAGBR就通过图书馆帮助了248人——这些人原本可能无法接触到这类帮扶服务，项目还拓展了服务内容，增设了每月免费法律咨询等项目)”可知，该项目影响力显著，而且帮助了众多人且拓展了服务，体现其成果丰硕。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。末段通过对比图书馆的传统功能与合作项目的创新价值，根据“Baton Rouge’s libraries hold books full of wisdom, but what the libraries and VOAGBR offer is a different kind of guidance—one of immediate compassion and community support, truly bringing the spirit of service to life.(巴吞鲁日市的图书馆藏有诸多满载智慧的书籍，但图书馆与VOAGBR共同提供的，却是另一种形式的指引——一种饱含即时关怀与社区支持的指引，真正让服务精神焕发生机)”点明了图书馆与VOAGBR合作的核心意义，突出了社区支持与服务精神的主题，据此可推断该段目的是突出主题。故选A。 C A total of 52 giant panda fossils have been discovered in Shuanghe Cave in Suiyang county, Southwest China’s Guizhou province, making Shuanghe the site with the largest number of such fossils in the world, according to a Friday press conference on the results of the 24th International Cave Science Expedition. The 52 fossils include six that were uncovered during a recent scientific expedition. “Many mammalian fossils have been discovered in Shuanghe Cave, among which the giant panda fossils are the most prominent,” said Wang Deyuan, an associate research fellow at the Guizhou Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Mountain Resources. The fossils are evidence that giant pandas lived in Guizhou from 100,000 years ago to a few hundred years ago, forming a relatively continuous chronological sequence. Teeth analysis suggests most of these giant pandas were subadult or new adult individuals. Numerous limb bones and skulls found at the site have also enabled researchers to study the evolutionary changes in the species’ body weight. Their study found that giant pandas reached their maximum body weight during the Middle Pleistocene, after which it began to decrease until it developed into its present level. With a total length of 439.7 kilometers Shuanghe Cave is the longest cave in Asia and the third-longest in the world. It has been the site of 24 international joint scientific expeditions since the late 1980s. 8. What makes Shuanghe Cave special in the world? A. It’s the longest cave ever found. B. It has the most giant panda fossils. C. It’s where pandas live today. D. It’s in Guizhou province. 9. How do scientists know pandas lived in Guizhou for a long time? A. They found live pandas there. B. The cave is very long. C. Pandas are getting lighter. D. The fossils are from 100,000 to a few hundred years ago. 10. What did scientists learn from studying panda bones? A. Pandas were heaviest during the Middle Pleistocene. B. Pandas’ weight has stayed the same. C. Pandas were lightest in the Middle Pleistocene. D. All pandas found were very old. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. A cave in China is very long and has had many scientific visits. B. 52 Fossil discoveries in a Chinese cave are about giant pandas’ history and evolution. C. Giant pandas used to be much heavier in the past than they are today. D. Scientists found both old and new giant panda fossils in the same cave. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11.

Scientists have used an eye implant to improve the vision of dozens of people left functionally blind by AMD. The implant, which measures 2 millimetres by 2 millimetres, and is just 30 micrometres thick, is surgically put beneath the retina to replace the light-sensitive cells that have been lost to the disease. The implant, termed PRIMA, is wireless, unlike previous retinal devices. And being photovoltaic (光电的), the light particles that activate it also provide the energy source for generating its electrical output. It is used in combination with glasses that contain a camera that captures images and changes them into patterns of invisible light that is sent to the retinal implant. The system, which allows users to zoom in and out on target objects, and adjust contrast and brightness, does take months of intensive training to use best. In the current study, 38 individuals were treated at 17 clinical sites across 5 European countries, and 32 of the participants were tested a year after implantation. 26 of them had a clinically meaningful improvement in their vision, which, on average, meant being able to see two lines further down a standard eye test chart of letters. Overall, most participants’ vision came close to the resolution (分辨率) that PRIMA can achieve. However, a questionnaire about users’ daily quality of life revealed no significant overall improvements. They said the results would be more convincing if the improvement had been shown by comparing it with a random treatment group. And users’ reading is “not fast, smooth reading”. The vision provided is also black and white, not colour. Trial leader Frank Holz acknowledges the current system has limitations, and he expects future implants to be more effective. “With this first major breakthrough, it’s a starting point for further improvement,” he says, “And where this dead retina was a complete blind spot, vision was restored. Patients could read letters and words, and they could function in their daily life.” 12. What can be known about PRIMA according to the text? A. It requires modest training for best results. B. It allows glasses to send normal images to it. C. It is both activated and powered by light particles. D. It can restore normal vision by replacing lost cells. 13. What can be concluded from the study? A. The implant proved instantly effective on the patients. B. The 38 participants showed improved vision a year later. C. The involved patients could see two lines on the eye chart. D. Most patients’ vision reached the best level with the device. 14. Which of the following PRIMA limitations is not clearly mentioned? A. Black-and-white vision. B. Frequent eye discomfort. C. Slow and difficult reading. D. Unconvincing vision improvement. 15 What can be a suitable title for the text? A. PRIMA: Its Progress and Limitations B. PRIMA: How It Improves Vision C. PRIMA: A Training for AMD Blindness D. PRIMA: A New Life for AMD Patients 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了电子视网膜植入物PRIMA在治疗年龄相关性黄斑变性（AMD）导致的视力丧失方面的进展和局限性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“And being photovoltaic (光电的), the light particles that activate it also provide the energy source for generating its electrical output.(而且由于是光电的，激活它的光粒子也为产生电能提供了能源。)”可知，PRIMA既由光粒子激活，又由光粒子提供能量。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In the current study, 38 individuals were treated at 17 clinical sites across 5 European countries, and 32 of the participants were tested a year after implantation. 26 of them had a clinically meaningful improvement in their vision, which, on average, meant being able to see two lines further down a standard eye test chart of letters. Overall, most participants’ vision came close to the resolution (分辨率) that PRIMA can achieve.(在当前的研究中，38名患者在5个欧洲国家的17个临床地点接受了治疗，其中32名参与者在植入一年后接受了测试。其中26人的视力有了临床意义上的改善，平均而言，这意味着他们能够在一张标准视力测试字母表上多看两行。总体而言，大多数参与者的视力接近PRIMA所能达到的分辨率。)”可知，大多数患者的视力接近PRIMA所能达到的最佳水平。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, a questionnaire about users’ daily quality of life revealed no significant overall improvements.

Vera was hesitant about bringing a pet into their lives. This disagreement had cast a shadow over their relationship, making Anna feel unsure of her mother’s love. On the morning of her twelfth birthday, Anna noticed something near their garden walls while having breakfast. It took her a moment to figure out what it was, but eventually, she realized it was a little dog. Anna wondered what to do, but ultimately decided to go out. She couldn’t just leave the dog alone! Anna walked up to the dog and extended a hand. The dog took a few steps backward, but it didn’t seem to be terrified of her. He began to sniff (嗅) her hand just seconds later. Anna patted the dog’s head in response. The dog seemed comfortable with this gesture of affection and stood up to get closer to Anna. Then, Anna saw a key underneath him. “What is that?” Anna wondered curiously. She picked it up and remembered one neighbor who told Anna that she was an expert of keys just the day before. She hurried to her neighbor’s house, taking the dog and the key. When Anna came with the dog in her arms, her neighbor wowed in amazement. “I found it, along with this key,” Anna carefully placed the key on her neighbor’s desk. With a magnifying lens (放大镜), her neighbor examined the key and confidently told her, “I know what this key is for. You can get inside Velor Castle’s garden with this key. It has information carved in tiny letters on it.” Though unsure, Anna reasoned, “Perhaps the dog’s owners live there.” The garden was nearby, so that’s where Anna headed. At the garden gate, the anxious girl put the key into the keyhole. As soon as it clicked, the door was unlocked. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Vera and many others were inside! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing Vera’s words, Anna realized who the dog’s owners would be. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version Vera and many others were inside! They burst into cheers as Anna appeared, colorful balloons floating around the garden table filled with gifts. Vera rushed forward, her eyes shining with excitement. “Surprise, sweetheart!” she cried, hugging Anna tightly. She explained that the key and the little dog were both part of a carefully planned experience. The neighbor had helped design this “treasure hunt” to lead Anna here. Vera admitted that she wanted Anna to prove her readiness for pet care through this journey. The dog, a gentle golden puppy, touched Anna’s hand warmly as if recognizing his new friend. Hearing Vera’s words, Anna realized who the dog’s owners would be. Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she understood everything, including the arguments, her mother’s hesitation, and now this perfect gift. “So... he’s truly ours?” Anna whispered, her voice trembling with hope. Vera nodded, smiling through her own tears. “Happy birthday, my responsible girl.” The puppy barked happily, waving its tail as Anna knelt to embrace him. In that moment, all doubts about her mother’s love disappeared, replaced by the warmth of the tight hug they shared. It was the best birthday Anna could ever imagine. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了安娜和妈妈维拉曾因是否养狗争执，影响了母女关系。安娜12岁生日当天，发现一只小狗，还在它身下找到一把钥匙。经邻居辨认，钥匙能打开维洛城堡花园的门，安娜便带着小狗前往那里。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①根据第一段首句“维拉和其他许多人都在里面！”可知，下文可描写安娜进屋后得知这是一次精心安排的“惊喜”。 ②根据第二段首句“ 听到维拉的话，安娜意识到这只狗的主人会是谁。”可知，下文可描写安娜的感动、对妈妈的感激，以及母女二人重归于好的美好画面。 2.续写线索：大家都在屋内——安娜进屋发现氛围有异——得知这是一次精心安排的“惊喜”——安娜知道小狗是属于自己的——明白妈妈的用意，感动并开心——母女紧紧相拥 3.词类激活 行为类 ①突然爆发：burst into/break into/erupt into ②承认：admit/confess/acknowledge ③拥抱：embrace/hug 情绪类 ①喜悦：joy/delight ②犹豫：hesitation/reluctance 【点睛】【高分句型1】  They burst into cheers as Anna appeared, colorful balloons floating around the garden table filled with gifts.（运用了独立主格结构） 【高分句型2】 Vera admitted that she wanted Anna to prove her readiness for pet care through this journey. （运用了that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型3】 In that moment, all doubts about her mother’s love disappeared, replaced by the warmth of the tight hug they shared.（运用了省略关系代词的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
