The Amolfini Portrait Jan van Eyck’s Amolfini Portrait, an oil painting on wood produced in 1434, in which a man and a woman hold hands with a window behind him and a bed behind her, is undoubtedly one of the masterpieces in the Nation document on fifteenth-century society, through Van Eyck’s heavy use of symbolism. While husbands went out to engage in business, wives concerned themselves with domestic duties. This painting is as visually interesting as it is famed. It is also informative. The Starry Night Vincent van Gogh painted The Starry Night, oil on canvas, a moderately abstract landscape painting of an expressive night sky over a small hillside village, during his 12 months stay at the mental hospital near Saint-Remy-de-Provence, France between 1889 and 1890. When the Museum of Modern Art in New York City purchased the painting from a private collector in 1941, it was not well known, but it has since become one of van Gogh’s most famous works. The Harvesters The Harvesters is an oil painting on wood completed by Pieter Bruegel the Elder in 1565. It describes the harvest time which most commonly occurred within the months of August and September. Nicolaes Jonghelinck, a merchant banker and art collector from Antwerp, commissioned this painting. The painting has been at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City since 1919. Guernica Guernica, a large black-and-white oil painting, was painted by the Cubist Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso in 1937. The title “Guernica” refers to the city that was bombed by Nazi planes during the Spanish Civil War. The painting depicts the horrors of war and as a result has come to be an anti-war symbol and a reminder of the tragedies of war. Today, the painting is housed at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid. 1. Which of the following paintings was produced earliest? A. The Harvesters. B. The Starry Night. C. Guernica. D. The Amolfini Portrait. 2. Who created the painting describing the harvest seasons? A. Jan van Eyck. B. Vincent van Gogh. C. Pieter Bruegel the Elder. D. Pablo Picasso. 3. What do we know about the painting The Starry Night? A. It was painted on wood in oils. B. It wasn’t widely recognized before 1941. C. It was given away to the museum by a collector. D. It described the painter’s life in hospital. B In the remote mountains of Guizhou, China, 72-year-old Li Wei has spent five decades preserving a disappearing art form: the ancient folk songs of the Miao ethnic group. As a child, Li would follow her grandmother to village gatherings, mesmerized by complex melodies passed down through oral tradition. “Those songs were our history books,” she recalls. “But by the 1990s, only a handful of elders could sing them.” Determined to rescue this cultural heritage, Li began documenting every song she could find. With limited resources, she walked for hours to reach isolated villages, recording lyrics in worn notebooks and capturing tunes on a cassette player. Her persistence faced skepticism. “People asked why I wasted time on ‘old things’ when the young were leaving for cities,” she told The New York Times. A turning point came in 2010 when Li’s collection was discovered by ethnomusicologists from Beijing Conservatory. This led to digital archiving projects and youth workshops. Today, her efforts have revived over 300 nearly extinct songs. Li’s most significant contribution is the “Echoes of the Clouds” program, which trains local children during summer vacations. “I teach them that these songs carry our ancestors’ wisdom about nature and life,” she explains. Despite international recognition, Li refuses to leave her village. “My place is here, where the songs were born,” she states. Her resilience has inspired a new generation; three of her students now study ethnomusicology at universities. “Grandma Li showed us that cultural roots give wings to the future,” said 19-year-old participant Yang Min. 4. What motivated Li Wei to preserve Miao folk songs? A. Government funding for ethnic research. B. Requests from university scholars. C. Desire for personal fame. D. Her childhood exposure to their cultural significance. 5. How did Li Wei’s work gain wider recognition? A. By publishing academic papers. B. Via social media campaigns. C. Through ethnomusicologists’ discovery. D. Through local children’s performances. 6. What does the “Echoes of the Clouds” program emphasize? A. Training professional musicians. B. Passing on cultural wisdom. C. Attracting tourism revenue. D. Modernizing traditional melodies. 7. What does the word “resilience” (paragraph 4) most likely mean? A. Financial success. B. Community influence. C. Persistent determination. D. Artistic talent. C Mars is a challenging place for humans to live due to its extreme cold and lack of basic necessities like oxygen. Given our goal to send humans there, and considering the high cost of transporting supplies from Earth, it is a problem that needs solving. NASA has already demonstrated the possibility of producing oxygen on Mars with the MOXIE experiment brought over by the Perseverance rover. Recently, a Chinese research team developed an AI chemist, demonstrating the potential to produce oxygen on Mars using only materials found on the Red Planet. Since the AI operated on Earth, it did not directly use Martian soil but instead analyzed Martian meteorites (陨石). It examined the composition of five Martian meteorite types and identified substances that could generate oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts (催化剂). These catalysts are envisioned to split water into oxygen using solar energy. The AI then processed these meteorite materials for testing. The AI chemist found 3,764,376 potential formulas (配方) for the catalyst and worked out the best one in just two months. For a single human, this would have taken thousands of years of labor to accomplish. The resulting catalyst was excellent. Researchers report that it could operate steadily for over 550,000 seconds — almost 6 days and 9 hours — with a stable electric current density. The team also tested it at below-freezing temperatures, consistent with temperatures found on Mars, with no apparent decline. “In the future, humans can establish an oxygen factory on Mars with the assistance of AI chemistry,” Professor Jiang Jun, one of the three team leaders, said in a statement. “This breakthrough technology brings us one step closer to achieving our dream of living on Mars.” The team is now looking to apply the AI chemist to other challenges in chemical discovery. It’s clear that AI holds the potential to revolutionize the way we address complex problems and pave the way toward a more sustainable future. 8. What problem regarding oxygen production on Mars did the Chinese team aim to address? A. The transportation of equipment. B. The development of power plants. C. Ways to source raw materials. D. Ways to control experimental conditions. 9. What part of the research did the AI chemist focus on? A. Extracting water from Martian soil. B. Analyzing existing catalysts on Mars. C. Conducting OERs in the Martian environment. D. Identifying certain chemicals in Martian rocks. 10. What strength of the AI chemist does the author want to stress in paragraph 4? A. Its accuracy. B. Its efficiency. C. Its adaptability. D. Its stability. 11. What does the author think of the future of AI applications? A. Promising. B. Debatable. C. Limited. D. Overestimated. D Noise pollution poses a significant threat to various animal species, seriously impacting their natural behaviors and ecological roles. Among its harmful effects, the most serious is that it confuses acoustic signals critical to animal communication and survival. Animals rely on these signals for crucial activities such as finding mates, warning others of danger, and coordinating group behaviors. However, noise pollution often overlaps with these frequencies, obscuring (使模糊) vital messages. Furthermore, noise pollution alters animal behaviors essential for their reproductive success. For instance, courtship rituals (求偶仪式) in birds can be affected, leading to decreased mating success and, consequently, fewer offspring. In some cases, the stress caused by constant noise exposure can result in reduced egg production among birds and marine species. This impact extends beyond reproduction, influencing the overall health and population dynamics of affected species. The impact is wide-ranging, affecting mammals and marine life. Even species known for their adaptability, such as certain marine mammals and birds, are not immune to the effects of noise pollution. In water, noise from shipping, underwater construction, and recreational activities can interfere with marine mammals’ navigation and communication, essential for their survival. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes noise pollution as one of the most harmful forms of environmental pollution worldwide. Its widespread presence in the whole ecosystems highlights its potential to unsettle the entire food web and ecological balance. As human activities continue to occupy natural habitats, the long-term effects of noise pollution intensify, posing an increasingly urgent threat to biodiversity. Efforts to reduce noise pollution are crucial for preserving ecosystems and protecting vulnerable animal populations. Implementing sound management practices, regulating noise levels in sensitive habitats, and raising awareness about the ecological impacts of noise pollution are essential steps toward fostering healthier environments for all species. By addressing noise pollution comprehensively, we can protect the complex web of life. 12 What’s the main effect of noise pollution on animal communication? A. It destroys animals’ natural habitats. B. It influences animals’ ability to find food. C. It affects animals’ adapting to the new environments. D. It disturbs important sounds animals need for survival. 13. How does noise pollution affect bird reproduction? A. It reduces birds’ need for courtship rituals. B. It shortens the life cycle of birds’ offspring. C. It lowers mating success by troubling courtship rituals. D It changes the choice of egg-laying places among bird species. 14. What does the author want to express by mentioning WHO? A. Noise pollution mostly happens in urban areas. B. Noise pollution has negative effects mainly on humans. C. Noise pollution brings about food safety issues. D. Noise pollution is a global issue impacting wildlife. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Threats brought by noise pollution to wildlife. B. Animal messages covered by noise pollution. C. Measures to reduce noise pollution in the wild. D. Impacts of noise pollution on ecological balance. 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The brain is a wonderful organ. It is the source of all thoughts and actions.

The classroom suddenly got filled with eager voices as classmates enthusiastically shared their dreams. “I want to be a college professor,” said Sarah confidently. “I dream of becoming a basketball player,” exclaimed Mike with light in his eye. The air was filled with dreams of doctors, nurses, bank accountants, and various professions. When Mrs. Thompson turned her attention to me, inquiring about my future career, I hesitated. “I don’t know yet,” I admitted. Then she asked if I wished to follow in my dad’s footsteps. “No,” I responded firmly. My dad is a distinguished doctor with a demanding schedule, who often finds himself engaged in the responsibilities of his job. Thus, he often returns home late in the evening. The limited time we spent together during my upbringing created a noticeable distance in our relationship. I had such a lot to complain about his job and thus being a doctor would be the last option I would take. After hearing my answer, Mrs. Thompson didn’t make any comment. Instead, she advised me to think more about that. A turning point came when our school decided to stage a New Year’s play. It was the grandest event of the year, and we had been preparing for it for a long time. Preparing for our roles, I needed to buy costume. Unfortunately, my mom had to travel to another city for work, so it fell upon my dad to accompany me. Reluctantly (不情愿地), Iagreed, realizing there was no other option. In the mall, it became evident that my dad was clueless about the items on the shopping list. Despite Mom providing a detailed list, we wandered through different floors, in and out between different shops before finally getting everything we needed. And I was getting more and more uncomfortable. Suddenly, a chaos drew our attention. A crowd had gathered, and someone was shouting for help. It turned out that an elderly customer had a fall, and onlookers were at a loss on how to assist. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My dad rushed forward. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Witnessing the scene there, I suddenly realized the value of my dad’s work. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026届高考模拟卷·英语 （120分钟 150分） 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷和第Ⅱ卷两部分。 第Ⅰ卷 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） 听下面五段对话，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，你都将有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.

As a child, Li would follow her grandmother to village gatherings, mesmerized by complex melodies passed down through oral tradition. “Those songs were our history books,” she recalls. “But by the 1990s, only a handful of elders could sing them.” Determined to rescue this cultural heritage, Li began documenting every song she could find. With limited resources, she walked for hours to reach isolated villages, recording lyrics in worn notebooks and capturing tunes on a cassette player. Her persistence faced skepticism. “People asked why I wasted time on ‘old things’ when the young were leaving for cities,” she told The New York Times. A turning point came in 2010 when Li’s collection was discovered by ethnomusicologists from Beijing Conservatory. This led to digital archiving projects and youth workshops. Today, her efforts have revived over 300 nearly extinct songs. Li’s most significant contribution is the “Echoes of the Clouds” program, which trains local children during summer vacations. “I teach them that these songs carry our ancestors’ wisdom about nature and life,” she explains. Despite international recognition, Li refuses to leave her village. “My place is here, where the songs were born,” she states. Her resilience has inspired a new generation; three of her students now study ethnomusicology at universities. “Grandma Li showed us that cultural roots give wings to the future,” said 19-year-old participant Yang Min. 4. What motivated Li Wei to preserve Miao folk songs? A. Government funding for ethnic research. B. Requests from university scholars. C. Desire for personal fame. D. Her childhood exposure to their cultural significance. 5. How did Li Wei’s work gain wider recognition? A. By publishing academic papers. B. Via social media campaigns. C. Through ethnomusicologists’ discovery. D. Through local children’s performances. 6. What does the “Echoes of the Clouds” program emphasize? A Training professional musicians. B. Passing on cultural wisdom. C. Attracting tourism revenue. D. Modernizing traditional melodies. 7. What does the word “resilience” (paragraph 4) most likely mean? A. Financial success. B. Community influence. C. Persistent determination. D. Artistic talent. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了贵州山区72岁的李薇用五十年保护苗族古民歌，克服困难记录整理，促成数字化和传承项目，培养传承人，坚守故土最终获得认可。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“As a child, Li would follow her grandmother to village gatherings, mesmerized by complex melodies passed down through oral tradition. “Those songs were our history books,” she recalls. “But by the 1990s, only a handful of elders could sing them.”(小时候，李会跟着她的祖母参加村里的聚会，被口口相传下来的复杂旋律深深吸引。“那些歌曲就是我们的历史教科书。”她回忆道。“但到了20世纪90年代，只有少数几位老人还能唱这些歌了。”)”可知，促使李薇保护苗族民歌的原因是她童年时期对这些歌曲文化意义的接触经历。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“A turning point came in 2010 when Li’s collection was discovered by ethnomusicologists from Beijing Conservatory. This led to digital archiving projects and youth workshops.(2010年，这一情况发生了重大转变，当时北京音乐学院的民族音乐学家发现了李的音乐作品。这促使开展了数字存档项目和青年工作坊)”可知，李薇的作品通过民族音乐学家们获得更广泛认可。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Li’s most significant contribution is the “Echoes of the Clouds” program, which trains local children during summer vacations. “I teach them that these songs carry our ancestors’ wisdom about nature and life,” she explains.(李最重要的贡献是“云之回响”项目，该项目在暑假期间为当地的孩子们提供辅导。“我告诉他们，这些歌曲承载着我们祖先关于自然和生活的智慧。”她解释道)”可知，“云之回响”这个项目强调的是传承文化智慧。故选B。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Despite international recognition, Li refuses to leave her village. “My place is here, where the songs were born,” she states.(尽管得到了国际的认可，李仍不愿离开她的村庄。“我的归属地在这里，这里诞生了那些歌曲，”她说道)”可知，尽管得到了国际的认可，李仍不愿离开她的村庄，选择坚守在村庄里，体现了她坚定的意志力。故resilience的意思是“坚定的意志力”。故选C。 C Mars is a challenging place for humans to live due to its extreme cold and lack of basic necessities like oxygen. Given our goal to send humans there, and considering the high cost of transporting supplies from Earth, it is a problem that needs solving. NASA has already demonstrated the possibility of producing oxygen on Mars with the MOXIE experiment brought over by the Perseverance rover. Recently, a Chinese research team developed an AI chemist, demonstrating the potential to produce oxygen on Mars using only materials found on the Red Planet. Since the AI operated on Earth, it did not directly use Martian soil but instead analyzed Martian meteorites (陨石). It examined the composition of five Martian meteorite types and identified substances that could generate oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts (催化剂). These catalysts are envisioned to split water into oxygen using solar energy. The AI then processed these meteorite materials for testing. The AI chemist found 3,764,376 potential formulas (配方) for the catalyst and worked out the best one in just two months. For a single human, this would have taken thousands of years of labor to accomplish. The resulting catalyst was excellent. Researchers report that it could operate steadily for over 550,000 seconds — almost 6 days and 9 hours — with a stable electric current density. The team also tested it at below-freezing temperatures, consistent with temperatures found on Mars, with no apparent decline. “In the future, humans can establish an oxygen factory on Mars with the assistance of AI chemistry,” Professor Jiang Jun, one of the three team leaders, said in a statement. “This breakthrough technology brings us one step closer to achieving our dream of living on Mars.” The team is now looking to apply the AI chemist to other challenges in chemical discovery. It’s clear that AI holds the potential to revolutionize the way we address complex problems and pave the way toward a more sustainable future. 8. What problem regarding oxygen production on Mars did the Chinese team aim to address? A. The transportation of equipment. B. The development of power plants. C. Ways to source raw materials. D Ways to control experimental conditions. 9. What part of the research did the AI chemist focus on? A. Extracting water from Martian soil. B. Analyzing existing catalysts on Mars. C. Conducting OERs in the Martian environment. D. Identifying certain chemicals in Martian rocks. 10. What strength of the AI chemist does the author want to stress in paragraph 4? A. Its accuracy. B. Its efficiency. C. Its adaptability. D. Its stability. 11. What does the author think of the future of AI applications? A. Promising. B. Debatable. C. Limited. D. Overestimated. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。中国团队研发的AI化学家能利用火星材料高效研发制氧催化剂，助力火星供氧，其应用前景广阔，推动人类火星居住梦想。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Recently, a Chinese research team developed an AI chemist, demonstrating the potential to produce oxygen on Mars using only materials found on the Red Planet.(最近，一个中国研究团队开发了一种人工智能化学家，展示了仅使用火星上发现的材料在火星上制造氧气的潜力)”可知，中国团队旨在解决的是火星制氧的原材料来源问题，即仅利用火星本地材料。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Since the AI operated on Earth, it did not directly use Martian soil but instead analyzed Martian meteorites (陨石).

Among its harmful effects, the most serious is that it confuses acoustic signals critical to animal communication and survival. Animals rely on these signals for crucial activities such as finding mates, warning others of danger, and coordinating group behaviors. However, noise pollution often overlaps with these frequencies, obscuring (使模糊) vital messages. Furthermore, noise pollution alters animal behaviors essential for their reproductive success. For instance, courtship rituals (求偶仪式) in birds can be affected, leading to decreased mating success and, consequently, fewer offspring. In some cases, the stress caused by constant noise exposure can result in reduced egg production among birds and marine species. This impact extends beyond reproduction, influencing the overall health and population dynamics of affected species. The impact is wide-ranging, affecting mammals and marine life. Even species known for their adaptability, such as certain marine mammals and birds, are not immune to the effects of noise pollution. In water, noise from shipping, underwater construction, and recreational activities can interfere with marine mammals’ navigation and communication, essential for their survival. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes noise pollution as one of the most harmful forms of environmental pollution worldwide. Its widespread presence in the whole ecosystems highlights its potential to unsettle the entire food web and ecological balance. As human activities continue to occupy natural habitats, the long-term effects of noise pollution intensify, posing an increasingly urgent threat to biodiversity. Efforts to reduce noise pollution are crucial for preserving ecosystems and protecting vulnerable animal populations. Implementing sound management practices, regulating noise levels in sensitive habitats, and raising awareness about the ecological impacts of noise pollution are essential steps toward fostering healthier environments for all species. By addressing noise pollution comprehensively, we can protect the complex web of life. 12. What’s the main effect of noise pollution on animal communication? A. It destroys animals’ natural habitats. B. It influences animals’ ability to find food. C. It affects animals’ adapting to the new environments. D. It disturbs important sounds animals need for survival. 13. How does noise pollution affect bird reproduction? A. It reduces birds’ need for courtship rituals. B. It shortens the life cycle of birds’ offspring. C. It lowers mating success by troubling courtship rituals. D. It changes the choice of egg-laying places among bird species. 14. What does the author want to express by mentioning WHO? A. Noise pollution mostly happens in urban areas. B. Noise pollution has negative effects mainly on humans. C. Noise pollution brings about food safety issues. D. Noise pollution is a global issue impacting wildlife. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Threats brought by noise pollution to wildlife. B. Animal messages covered by noise pollution. C. Measures to reduce noise pollution in the wild. D. Impacts of noise pollution on ecological balance. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15.

The classroom suddenly got filled with eager voices as classmates enthusiastically shared their dreams. “I want to be a college professor,” said Sarah confidently. “I dream of becoming a basketball player,” exclaimed Mike with light in his eye. The air was filled with dreams of doctors, nurses, bank accountants, and various professions. When Mrs. Thompson turned her attention to me, inquiring about my future career, I hesitated. “I don’t know yet,” I admitted. Then she asked if I wished to follow in my dad’s footsteps. “No,” I responded firmly. My dad is a distinguished doctor with a demanding schedule, who often finds himself engaged in the responsibilities of his job. Thus, he often returns home late in the evening. The limited time we spent together during my upbringing created a noticeable distance in our relationship. I had such a lot to complain about his job and thus being a doctor would be the last option I would take. After hearing my answer, Mrs. Thompson didn’t make any comment. Instead, she advised me to think more about that. A turning point came when our school decided to stage a New Year’s play. It was the grandest event of the year, and we had been preparing for it for a long time. Preparing for our roles, I needed to buy costume. Unfortunately, my mom had to travel to another city for work, so it fell upon my dad to accompany me. Reluctantly (不情愿地), Iagreed, realizing there was no other option. In the mall, it became evident that my dad was clueless about the items on the shopping list. Despite Mom providing a detailed list, we wandered through different floors, in and out between different shops before finally getting everything we needed. And I was getting more and more uncomfortable. Suddenly, a chaos drew our attention. A crowd had gathered, and someone was shouting for help. It turned out that an elderly customer had a fall, and onlookers were at a loss on how to assist. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My dad rushed forward. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Witnessing the scene there, I suddenly realized the value of my dad’s work. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】one possible version My dad rushed forward. And I followed suit. “Stay calm, everyone. We need to act quickly,” after he figured out what was going on, he gestured for everyone to remain calm and call emergency services. He started performing first aid, which immediately put those around him at ease. Soon, an ambulance arrived. Thanks to my dad’s timely intervention, the patient regained consciousness, gaining crucial time for further treatment. Then the patient was rushed to the hospital. Witnessing the scene there, I suddenly realized the value of my dad’s work. On the way back home, I thanked Dad, not only for accompanying me to the shopping mall, but also for saving the customer and helping me understand the worth of adult professions. A few days after the play, Mrs. Thompson asked me if I had changed my mind. I replied proudly with a definite “yes,” The journey through the mall had totally reshaped my perspective on the significance of every kind of work and taught me that I should never judge the value of people’s work at will. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述课堂上作者不愿继承父业当医生，因父亲忙碌致关系疏远。新年剧筹备时，与父购物遇老人摔倒，父亲果断施救的专业与担当打动作者，让作者理解其责任，最终愿成为医生。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段内容“父亲立刻冲了过去。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：父亲带作者购物时遇老人摔倒，父亲施救并助其恢复意识，为治疗赢时间，后老人被送医。 ②由第二段首句内容“目睹眼前的情景，我突然明白了父亲工作的价值。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：目睹父亲救人后，作者懂了其工作价值，感谢父亲，改变想法，明白不应随意评判工作价值。 2.续写线索：老人摔倒——父亲施救——明白父亲工作的价值——改变想法——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.弄明白：figure out/understand ②.开始：start/begin ③.拯救：save/rescue 情绪类 ①.冷静的：calm/relaxed/sober ②.自豪地：proudly /in pride 【点睛】[高分句型1].
