B When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to escape from Ramsgate, the harbor town where I grew up on the Isle of Thanet. It could feel small: the same faces in the same places, and where a new café or gallery was often met with doubt. There was this apparent insistence that life was fine as it was. But for a teenager itching to see more, that lack of curiosity was disheartening. So I left. I headed north for a four-year academic journey from York to Durham. After university, having played at newspapers, I made the move to London to do it for real. But the reality was tough. I struggled to contribute to various dailies before periods on staff at both magazines and newspapers. In my twenties, I threw myself into city life: sampling Mediterranean restaurants, navigating around on the Tube, and staying out late with friends. For a while, it was enough. Then it became too much. In and among the sharing plates, I found myself on an unending rat race of moving faster and needing to earn more — just to keep up. Rents in London were pressing, apartments were tiny, yet the dream of owning one felt like a cruel joke. As I got older, trips back to Thanet opened my eyes to what I had left behind. Mainly, it was the sea. Wide yellow sands and even the touch of salt in the air, ordinary in childhood, suddenly felt appealing. But I also started to miss the beat of small-town life: waving to people on the street, noticing whose garden was overgrown, finding charm even in the pubs I had once dismissed. What’s more, where I’d once hurried to leave, others are now rushing to arrive. Artists, creatives, and technologists have been priced out of London and are pouring to Thanet, bringing new ideas and drive. Now, when I head back home, I feel a mixture of pride and mild wonder: the place I once thought I’d outgrown has had a facelift I wasn’t expecting. I’ll keep returning to Thanet, with eager willingness. Each visit reminds me that places, like people, can grow without losing their essence. I’ve come to love Thanet as more than just the home I left; it is now the place it continues to become. 4. Why did the author want to leave Ramsgate? A. It offered few job opportunities. B. It lacked modern entertainment. C. It stuck to values he disagreed with. D. It failed to satisfy his desire to explore. 5. Which of the following best summarizes the author’s life in London? A. Rich in possibilities. B. Socially diverse. C. Filled with challenges. D. Financially stressful. 6. What can we learn about the author’s bond with Thanet over time? A. It remains stable and strong. B. It is influenced by public opinions. C. It shifts from rejection to reconnection. D. It is shaped by his childhood experience. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Sea in Memory B. Four Years Up North C. The Hometown Out of Reach D. A Growing Place, a Growing Me C Old fishing nets may look useless, but they add up. The Food and Agriculture Organization estimates fishers throw away around 640,000 tons of nets every year. The waste also rots extremely slowly, presenting major environmental problems across not only crowded areas of the world, but in oceans and beaches. Multiple organizations have launched projects aimed at the issue, but they face a difficult task, especially when it comes to the larger nets. In recent years, engineers have started adding fiber from old fishing nets to building materials. This process helps strengthen the recycled materials for reuse in construction.Aware of the unused value, researchers decided to work together on a new way to develop more usage from the waste nets. Once they removed any remaining waste material, they broke down the remaining nets,typically made with plastic fibers, and mixed them into a connecting material. Next, they pressed, heated, and cut their new material into small blocks. Block 1 contained only fishing net fibers, while Block 2 featured the net material and an additional strengthening part. During the production process, the connecting material inside each block begins to melt after coming into contact with hot concrete. Once melted, the recycled fishing net fibers are set free into the material and strengthen it by improving both its flexibility and ability to resist breaking. Researchers then tested three concrete mixtures containing 40 percent recycled building materials and various block ratios(比率) against a control concrete made without recycled materials. The team found that every fishing net-added concrete was stronger than traditional concrete. On top of this, the combination of connecting materials made it easier to change the concrete’s thickness, which could reduce the necessary production temperature — further reducing its energy requirements and pollution output. The team added that future research could focus on better improving how the fiber blocks are made, or increasing strengthening part amounts to increase the concrete’s strength. They also believe that combining additional recycled materials with the nets may further improve the material while also making the industry even more sustainable. 8. What causes main environmental issue of fishing nets? A. Their fire risk. B. Their bad smell. C. Their long lifetime. D. Their high cost. 9. How do fishing net fibers improve concrete? A. They can reduce concrete’s weight. B. They can make concrete melt faster. C. They can improve concrete’s thickness. D. They can increase concrete’s flexibility. 10. What advantage does adding connecting material to concrete bring? A. Lower production temperature. B. Higher strength. C. Reduced material use. D. Faster construction. 11. What is researchers’attitude towards future studies? A. Critical. B. Hopeful. C. Proud. D. Indifferent. D Tiny black-capped chickadees (黑顶山雀) have good memories. They store food in many different locations in the wild, and then return to these places when other food sources are low. Some researchers thought that neurons called “place cells” would explain these birds’ ability to remember their hidden food. These cells encode information about where things are. But recently, a team of researchers found that each time a black-capped chickadee hides a seed in a specific location, a unique brain pattern appears in the hippocampus (海马体) — separate from place cells. Selmaan Chettih, a neuroscientist from Columbia University, compared it to a barcode (条形码). “The hippocampus was like a flipped switch. This new pattern of activity was different from the place cells,” Chettih says. To observe this, Chettih built a special area with feeders full of sunflower seeds in the corners. He put wooden perches (栖息处) all over the place with small flaps where birds could hide seeds. The scientists put tiny probes into the chickadees’ brains and tracked activity in their memory areas. Each time a bird hid a seed under a flap, a special brain pattern appeared, like a barcode. Each bird had its own unique brain pattern for each time it hid a seed. When the birds revisited these sites and recovered the hidden seeds, the same barcode-like pattern materialized again, as though all the information about each location and seed was linked to a unique brain pattern. The researchers compared these memories to humans’ memories of specific events or personal experiences. They are essential to how humans define themselves and bind together moments in time, people, places and sensory information. But the mechanism for how this binding happens is still unclear. Chettih says it’s difficult to know exactly when an animal is forming a memory. However, the fact that this seed-hiding behavior follows a clear pattern may help scientists to understand how the brain makes and stores memories. 12. What can we know about the chickadees from paragraph 1? A. They are able to find their hidden food. B. They are good at remembering barcodes. C. They have better memories than humans. D. They lack the hippocampi in their brains. 13. Which aspect of the research does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. Its function. B. Its application. C. Its theory. D. Its process. 14. What does the underlined word “materialized” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Changed. B. Appeared. C. Decreased. D. Failed. 15. What does the author express in the last paragraph? A. The secret of chickadees’ memories. B. The difficulty in doing the research. C. The need to further research birds’ memories. D. The meaning of studying the seed-hiding behavior. 第二节 七选五（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。 Student Gardens: More Than Just Growing Food Across the US, more and more schools are turning empty lots and playground corners into student-run gardens. These small green spaces aren't just about growing tomatoes or carrots — they’re teaching kids big lessons that go beyond the classroom. At Lincoln Middle School in Portland, Oregon, students in grades 6-8 tend to a 1,200-square-foot garden every week. ____16____ “We start with tiny seeds and watch them become food. It makes me think about how much care things need to grow,” says 13-year-old Mia Carter, who helps plant lettuce (生菜) and herbs. The garden is part of the school’s “Growth & Giving” program:____17____ Teachers say the gardens build key skills. ____18____ “Math comes alive when kids measure soil depth or count harvests,” explains science teacher Mr. Lopez. “They practice teamwork when they plan plots (种植地块) together, and responsibility when they remember to water their plants.” For students like 12-year-old Jayden Reed, who once struggled with focus, the garden has been a game-changer. ____19____ Student gardens also connect kids to their communities. Last month, Lincoln Middle School hosted a “Garden Fair” where families tried student-grown snacks and learned how to start small gardens at home. ____20____ “It’s not just a school project — it’s a way to bring people together,” says Principal Ms. Garcia. These gardens prove that learning doesn’t have to stay inside four walls. They grow fresh food — but more importantly, they grow curious, kind, and capable kids who understand how their actions can make a difference. A. Many find peace in caring for plants. B. Kids use the other half to cook in class. C. It lets students learn by real teamwork. D. Students spend hours planting and weeding. E. They share half the harvest with food banks. F. These skills help them in daily study and life. G. Such event strengthens bonds between families. 第三部分 语言运用（共三节；满分35分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I used to work in a center for people with drinking problems in Aberdeen.

Every summer vacation, she worked as a student volunteer, feeling responsible for protecting this quiet space. Lately, a boy named Liam had become her challenge. Liam wasn’t rude — he just couldn’t sit still. Like clockwork, he would get up to “stretch his legs, ”pacing between the bookshelves. Sometimes he’d accidentally knock over a chair. Once, absorbed in a picture book, he let out a loud“Whoa!”when he saw a giant dinosaur filled the page. In the silence, each sound drew looks from other readers. Yesterday, when Megan walked over and reminded him gently again, Liam’s face turned red. “I’m really sorry, ”he whispered sincerely. “I don’t mean to. I just. I really like being here. ”She believed him. She had noticed that Liam was a curious explorer of books. He would pull out a book on dinosaurs, reading with intense focus for a few minutes, then move on to another about volcanoes or space rockets. He just loved the library. Megan went back to her office. A note on the head librarian’s desk caught her eye. It read, “More Lively Reading Activities? Book sharing? Acting?” Seeing this, Megan suddenly remembered the librarian had mentioned she could feel free to use the garden at the back of the library. It was a place where some unused items were stored — some old chairs, folding tables, all piled up gathering dust under a large tree. At the time, Megan hadn’t thought much about it. But now, the thoughts of directing Liam’s energy and making use of the garden connected in her mind. Perhaps the solution wasn’t to quiet Liam down, but to give his energy and love for books a positive stage, right here in their own library. An idea for a “Garden Reading Corner”project, aimed at young readers, began to take shape. The next morning, she found Liam among the bookshelves. “Want to do something really cool?”she said, her voice low but excited. Liam did not answer at once, but the eager light in his eyes said everything. 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。 For the next week, Megan and Liam busied themselves with the project. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the opening day of the project, they waited nervously in the garden. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 扬州市新华中学2025-2026学年度第二学期 高二英语 期中考试试卷 （满分150分 考试时间120分钟） 第一部分 听力（共两节，每小题1.5分，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。每段对话仅读两遍。 1.

It could feel small: the same faces in the same places, and where a new café or gallery was often met with doubt. There was this apparent insistence that life was fine as it was. But for a teenager itching to see more, that lack of curiosity was disheartening. So I left. I headed north for a four-year academic journey from York to Durham. After university, having played at newspapers, I made the move to London to do it for real. But the reality was tough. I struggled to contribute to various dailies before periods on staff at both magazines and newspapers. In my twenties, I threw myself into city life: sampling Mediterranean restaurants, navigating around on the Tube, and staying out late with friends. For a while, it was enough. Then it became too much. In and among the sharing plates, I found myself on an unending rat race of moving faster and needing to earn more — just to keep up. Rents in London were pressing, apartments were tiny, yet the dream of owning one felt like a cruel joke. As I got older, trips back to Thanet opened my eyes to what I had left behind. Mainly, it was the sea. Wide yellow sands and even the touch of salt in the air, ordinary in childhood, suddenly felt appealing. But I also started to miss the beat of small-town life: waving to people on the street, noticing whose garden was overgrown, finding charm even in the pubs I had once dismissed. What’s more, where I’d once hurried to leave, others are now rushing to arrive. Artists, creatives, and technologists have been priced out of London and are pouring to Thanet, bringing new ideas and drive. Now, when I head back home, I feel a mixture of pride and mild wonder: the place I once thought I’d outgrown has had a facelift I wasn’t expecting. I’ll keep returning to Thanet, with eager willingness. Each visit reminds me that places, like people, can grow without losing their essence. I’ve come to love Thanet as more than just the home I left; it is now the place it continues to become. 4. Why did the author want to leave Ramsgate? A. It offered few job opportunities. B. It lacked modern entertainment. C. It stuck to values he disagreed with. D. It failed to satisfy his desire to explore. 5. Which of the following best summarizes the author’s life in London? A. Rich in possibilities. B. Socially diverse. C. Filled with challenges. D. Financially stressful. 6. What can we learn about the author’s bond with Thanet over time? A. It remains stable and strong. B. It is influenced by public opinions. C. It shifts from rejection to reconnection. D. It is shaped by his childhood experience. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Sea in Memory B. Four Years Up North C. The Hometown Out of Reach D. A Growing Place, a Growing Me 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者离开家乡Ramsgate去伦敦打拼，历经挑战后回到家乡，重新认识并爱上家乡的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to escape from Ramsgate, the harbor town where I grew up on the Isle of Thanet.

The Food and Agriculture Organization estimates fishers throw away around 640,000 tons of nets every year. The waste also rots extremely slowly, presenting major environmental problems across not only crowded areas of the world, but in oceans and beaches. Multiple organizations have launched projects aimed at the issue, but they face a difficult task, especially when it comes to the larger nets. In recent years, engineers have started adding fiber from old fishing nets to building materials. This process helps strengthen the recycled materials for reuse in construction.Aware of the unused value, researchers decided to work together on a new way to develop more usage from the waste nets. Once they removed any remaining waste material, they broke down the remaining nets,typically made with plastic fibers, and mixed them into a connecting material. Next, they pressed, heated, and cut their new material into small blocks. Block 1 contained only fishing net fibers, while Block 2 featured the net material and an additional strengthening part. During the production process, the connecting material inside each block begins to melt after coming into contact with hot concrete. Once melted, the recycled fishing net fibers are set free into the material and strengthen it by improving both its flexibility and ability to resist breaking. Researchers then tested three concrete mixtures containing 40 percent recycled building materials and various block ratios(比率) against a control concrete made without recycled materials. The team found that every fishing net-added concrete was stronger than traditional concrete. On top of this, the combination of connecting materials made it easier to change the concrete’s thickness, which could reduce the necessary production temperature — further reducing its energy requirements and pollution output. The team added that future research could focus on better improving how the fiber blocks are made, or increasing strengthening part amounts to increase the concrete’s strength. They also believe that combining additional recycled materials with the nets may further improve the material while also making the industry even more sustainable. 8. What causes main environmental issue of fishing nets? A. Their fire risk. B. Their bad smell. C. Their long lifetime. D. Their high cost. 9. How do fishing net fibers improve concrete? A. They can reduce concrete’s weight. B. They can make concrete melt faster. C. They can improve concrete’s thickness. D. They can increase concrete’s flexibility. 10. What advantage does adding connecting material to concrete bring? A. Lower production temperature. B. Higher strength. C. Reduced material use. D. Faster construction. 11. What is researchers’attitude towards future studies? A. Critical. B. Hopeful. C. Proud. D. Indifferent. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11.

They store food in many different locations in the wild, and then return to these places when other food sources are low. Some researchers thought that neurons called “place cells” would explain these birds’ ability to remember their hidden food. These cells encode information about where things are. But recently, a team of researchers found that each time a black-capped chickadee hides a seed in a specific location, a unique brain pattern appears in the hippocampus (海马体) — separate from place cells. Selmaan Chettih, a neuroscientist from Columbia University, compared it to a barcode (条形码). “The hippocampus was like a flipped switch. This new pattern of activity was different from the place cells,” Chettih says. To observe this, Chettih built a special area with feeders full of sunflower seeds in the corners. He put wooden perches (栖息处) all over the place with small flaps where birds could hide seeds. The scientists put tiny probes into the chickadees’ brains and tracked activity in their memory areas. Each time a bird hid a seed under a flap, a special brain pattern appeared, like a barcode. Each bird had its own unique brain pattern for each time it hid a seed. When the birds revisited these sites and recovered the hidden seeds, the same barcode-like pattern materialized again, as though all the information about each location and seed was linked to a unique brain pattern. The researchers compared these memories to humans’ memories of specific events or personal experiences. They are essential to how humans define themselves and bind together moments in time, people, places and sensory information. But the mechanism for how this binding happens is still unclear. Chettih says it’s difficult to know exactly when an animal is forming a memory. However, the fact that this seed-hiding behavior follows a clear pattern may help scientists to understand how the brain makes and stores memories. 12. What can we know about the chickadees from paragraph 1? A. They are able to find their hidden food. B. They are good at remembering barcodes. C. They have better memories than humans. D. They lack the hippocampi in their brains. 13. Which aspect of the research does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. Its function. B. Its application. C. Its theory. D. Its process. 14. What does the underlined word “materialized” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Changed. B. Appeared. C. Decreased. D. Failed. 15. What does the author express in the last paragraph? A. The secret of chickadees’ memories. B. The difficulty in doing the research. C. The need to further research birds’ memories. D. The meaning of studying the seed-hiding behavior. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究人员对黑顶山雀藏食记忆能力的研究，发现其藏食时有独特大脑模式，还提及研究该行为对理解大脑记忆的意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“They store food in many different locations in the wild, and then return to these places when other food sources are low. (它们在野外许多不同的地方储存食物，然后在其他食物来源匮乏时回到这些地方)”可知，黑顶山雀能够找到它们藏起来的食物。故选A项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“To observe this, Chettih built a special area with feeders full of sunflower seeds in the corners. He put wooden perches all over the place with small flaps where birds could hide seeds. The scientists put tiny probes into the chickadees’ brains and tracked activity in their memory areas. (为了观察这一现象，切蒂赫建造了一个特殊区域，角落放着装满向日葵种子的喂食器。他在各处放置了带有小翻盖的木质栖息处，鸟儿可以在那里藏种子。科学家们将微小的探针插入山雀的大脑，追踪它们记忆区域的活动)”可知，这一段主要讲述了研究的过程。故选D项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Each time a bird hid a seed under a flap, a special brain pattern appeared, like a barcode. (每次鸟儿把种子藏在翻盖下时，就会出现一种特殊的大脑图案，就像条形码一样)”可知，鸟儿藏种子时大脑中会出现特殊图案，就像条形码一样，用于记录。结合划线词所在句“When the birds revisited these sites and recovered the hidden seeds, the same barcode like pattern materialized again (当鸟儿再次回到这些地方并找回藏起来的种子时，同样的类似条形码的模式再次……)”中“the same barcode like pattern”可推知，当鸟儿回到最初藏种子的地方，作记录用的条码就会“出现”，帮助它找回种子。由此推知，划线词materialized的意思是“出现”，和B项appeared相近。故选B项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“However, the fact that this seed hiding behavior follows a clear pattern may help scientists to understand how the brain makes and stores memories. (然而，这种藏种子行为遵循明确模式这一事实可能有助于科学家了解大脑如何形成和储存记忆)”可知，作者表达了研究黑顶山雀藏食行为的意义，即有助于科学家了解大脑如何形成和储存记忆。故选D项。 第二节 七选五（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。 Student Gardens: More Than Just Growing Food Across the US, more and more schools are turning empty lots and playground corners into student-run gardens.

Every summer vacation, she worked as a student volunteer, feeling responsible for protecting this quiet space. Lately, a boy named Liam had become her challenge. Liam wasn’t rude — he just couldn’t sit still. Like clockwork, he would get up to “stretch his legs, ”pacing between the bookshelves. Sometimes he’d accidentally knock over a chair. Once, absorbed in a picture book, he let out a loud“Whoa!”when he saw a giant dinosaur filled the page. In the silence, each sound drew looks from other readers. Yesterday, when Megan walked over and reminded him gently again, Liam’s face turned red. “I’m really sorry, ”he whispered sincerely. “I don’t mean to. I just. I really like being here. ”She believed him. She had noticed that Liam was a curious explorer of books. He would pull out a book on dinosaurs, reading with intense focus for a few minutes, then move on to another about volcanoes or space rockets. He just loved the library. Megan went back to her office. A note on the head librarian’s desk caught her eye. It read, “More Lively Reading Activities? Book sharing? Acting?” Seeing this, Megan suddenly remembered the librarian had mentioned she could feel free to use the garden at the back of the library. It was a place where some unused items were stored — some old chairs, folding tables, all piled up gathering dust under a large tree. At the time, Megan hadn’t thought much about it. But now, the thoughts of directing Liam’s energy and making use of the garden connected in her mind. Perhaps the solution wasn’t to quiet Liam down, but to give his energy and love for books a positive stage, right here in their own library. An idea for a “Garden Reading Corner”project, aimed at young readers, began to take shape. The next morning, she found Liam among the bookshelves. “Want to do something really cool?”she said, her voice low but excited. Liam did not answer at once, but the eager light in his eyes said everything. 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。 For the next week, Megan and Liam busied themselves with the project. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the opening day of the project, they waited nervously in the garden. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 For the next week, Megan and Liam busied themselves with the project. They first cleaned the messy garden, moving old chairs and folding tables to a sunny spot under the big tree. Liam scrubbed the dirt off the furniture and arranged them in a circle for kids. Megan brought colorful posters of dinosaurs and space — Liam’s favorite — and they hung them on the tree. They also picked out a lot of picture books and storybooks for young readers and placed them on a wooden shelf from the storage. Every evening, they discussed fun activities like book sharing and role-playing, with Liam coming up with many creative ideas. On the opening day of the project, they waited nervously in the garden. Soon many kids came, attracted by the colorful posters and interesting books. Liam became a great guide: he read dinosaur stories aloud and acted out some parts with vivid gestures, making everyone laugh happily. The garden was filled with soft laughter and reading voices, never disturbing the quiet inside the library. The head librarian came and praised them warmly, saying the garden reading corner was a wonderful addition. Megan smiled, knowing she had found the best way to let Liam’s energy shine and keep the library quiet. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。社区图书馆是梅根的宁静王国，男孩利亚姆好动常发出声响。梅根看到馆长关于阅读活动的便条后，想到利用图书馆后花园，计划打造“花园阅读角”项目来引导利亚姆。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“接下来的一周，梅根和利亚姆忙着筹备这个项目。”可知，第一段可以描写梅根和利亚姆接下来一周忙着筹备阅读角项目，两人分工合作整理花园、布置家具、张贴海报、摆放书籍，还一起讨论设计趣味活动，利亚姆提出了许多创意想法。 ②由第二段句首内容“项目开放当天，他们在花园里紧张地等待着。”可知，第二段可以描写项目开放当天孩子们被吸引前来，利亚姆生动地讲故事带动气氛，花园里充满欢声笑语又不打扰图书馆，图书管理员对他们大加赞扬，梅根也找到了既能发挥利亚姆活力又能保持图书馆安静的好办法。 2.续写线索：两人着手筹备阅读角项目——分工整理花园并布置装饰——摆放书籍并策划趣味活动——开放日紧张等待孩子到来——利亚姆热情带动孩子们阅读——获得管理员称赞并实现初衷 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①打扫：clean/tidy up ②移动：move/shift ③擦去污垢：scrub the dirt off/wipe the dirt away 情绪类 ①开心地：happily/delightedly ②温暖赞扬他们：praise them warmly/give them warm praise 【点睛】【高分句型1】They first cleaned the messy garden, moving old chairs and folding tables to a sunny spot under the big tree.
