B Krystal Mwesiga Birungi vividly remembers the first time she had malaria when she was just five years old. It was a feeling of overwhelming weakness. Despite having a burning thirst, she was unable to lift her head for a sip of water. She could not eat because she would immediately throw up. She would shake violently, feeling freezing cold even though she had a dangerously high fever. When Krystal and her two younger brothers were growing up, their mother worked to support the family. When one of her children got malaria, the mother was left with the impossible decision of whether to stay at home and care for her sick child or go to work to earn money to pay for the treatment. The horrific impact that malaria had on her family and community inspired Krystal to dedicate her life to terminating the disease. Today, Krystal works as a field entomologist at the Uganda Virus Research Institute on a project called Target Malaria, which aims to develop genetic technology to reduce mosquito populations and interrupt transmission of the disease. But children there can’t wait. Uganda’s tropical climate and mix of warm, humid forests and large agricultural settlements create a fertile breeding ground for mosquitoes that carry malaria. Luckily, the Global Fund is there to help. Krystal says that the Global Fund’s arrival in Uganda was a game changer. By 2023, with its support, the usage rate of long-lasting insecticidal nets among at-risk groups in Uganda had reached 53%, and over 95% of people with symptoms received malaria tests. Uganda reported 12.6 million malaria cases in 2023, remaining a high-burden country, but the fund’s 2.7 billion US dollars investment in malaria control across high-burden countries including Uganda in 2024 has sustained progress in prevention. Today, Krystal is a mother to a three-year-old son, Theo. She is thankful that she does not face the same challenges that her mother did. And she believes that with joint efforts, malaria will be greatly reduced as a threat to children’s childhoods in Uganda. 4. What can we learn from Krystal’s experience at five? A. Malaria spread fast among kids. B. Malaria used to be common in Uganda. C. Malaria had similar symptoms to a cold. D. Malaria was a greatly threatening disease. 5. What does the underlined word “terminating” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Ending. B. Curing. C. Demonstrating. D. Researching. 6. How does the author stress the Global Fund’s significance? A. By quoting Krystal’s words. B. By telling stories related to malaria. C. By giving specific achievement data. D. By listing its scientific breakthroughs. 7. Which of the following best describes Krystal? A. Tolerant. B. Sympathetic. C. Considerate. D. Innovative. C Buildings today consume about 40% of all energy produced worldwide. And over a quarter of a building’s energy is lost through today’s glass windows. In the winter they let heat out, while in the summer they let the sun’s heat in. “To block heat exchange, you can put a lot of insulation (隔热材料) in your walls, but windows need to be transparent (透明的),” said Ivan I. Smalyukh, a professor of physics at CU Boulder. “Finding insulators that are transparent is really challenging.” Researchers have made smart windows that change their features to offer energy efficiency. To keep things transparent, some teams have made clear window coatings from beer waste and by layering many thin films made of common materials. Smalyukh and his colleagues, meanwhile, have in the past made clear gel films from wood cellulose nanofibers. Those aerogels contained randomly spread air pockets that block heat. Their latest material, reported in the journal Science, is a silicone-based gel. The material, which they call Mesoporous Optically Clear Heat Insulator, or MOCHI, contains precisely arranged pockets of air that are much thinner than a human hair. The researchers make it by mixing surfactants (表面活性剂) in a liquid silicone solution. The surfactants join to each other to form a complicated pipelike network, and the silicone sticks to the outside of these structures. Then the researchers wash away the surfactant and water, and replace them with air. MOCHI is 90% air, and it allows more than 99% of light falling on it to pass through. Its thermal transmittance-which measures how much heat is lost through a window for every degree of temperature difference between the inside and outside-beats conventional windows by a large amount. While the best commercial windows have a transmittance of 0.2 W/(m²·K), the new material has 0.01 W/(m²·K). The materials used to make MOCHI are relatively low-cost, but transforming them into the final material in the lab is far from efficient. Smalyukh reflects that the gap between a promising material and a practical one often lies not in what it is made of, but in how it is made. When asked about the next steps, he said simply, “We’re still asking the right questions.” 8. What does the problem mentioned by Smalyukh in Paragraph 1 suggest? A. Walls need more insulation to save energy. B. Transparent heat blockers are hard to develop. C. Glass windows cause 40% of global energy loss. D. Smart windows have solved the energy problem. 9. Why are surfactants used in MOCHI? A. To fill the network with 90% air quickly. B. To form a basic structure for attachment. C. To help the film stick to the window surface. D. To make the material thinner than human hair. 10. What does the new material’s thermal transmittance show? A. Strong heat blocking. B. Great transparency. C. High content of air. D. Light weight. 11. What would the researchers work on next? A. Marketing MOCHI to residents. B. Testing MOCHI in real buildings soon. C. Replacing cheaper materials for MOCHI. D. Improving MOCHI’s producing methods. D The Caribbean has been facing severe challenges due to coral disease outbreaks, which have destroyed populations of various coral species over recent years. Researchers from National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) have been closely examining the behavior of young corals in areas where adult corals have died off. What they are finding is beginning to reshape how scientists think about natural reef (礁) recovery. The researchers combined field observations with lab experiments for their research. Their studies showed that young corals not only grow very fast but also have a great ability to get used to changing environmental conditions. Interestingly, the study highlights how the spatial distribution of young corals plays a crucial role in their ability to recover. Areas with high densities (密集) of young corals showed signs of rapid recovery, suggesting that these young corals can outcompete competitors that threaten their survival. In contrast, regions with fewer young corals faced longer recovery times, showing the need for targeted conservation strategies that prioritize the protection of young coral habitats. Besides field observations, laboratory experiments done in the study also provided new insights into how young corals physically react to stressful conditions. When they were put in situations that copy disease outbreaks, these young corals showed great resistance, which suggests they may be tougher than adult corals. This discovery puts young corals in the spotlight, as they could be key to reef recovery after ecological damage. What’s more, the researchers also studied the role of genetic diversity in groups of young corals and how it affects their recovery. Coral species with greater genetic diversity were found to be more resistant to diseases and environmental pressures. As global efforts to fight climate change gain more support, healthy coral reefs provide many essential benefits: protecting coastlines, offering living spaces for countless sea creatures, and supporting local economies through tourism and fishing industries. The results of this study strongly remind us that protecting the basic parts of these ecosystems — such as young coral groups — is key not only to the reefs’ survival, but also to the health of the whole marine environment. 12. What is the researchers’ purpose in doing the research? A. To stop coral disease outbreaks. B. To restore coral reefs more efficiently. C. To study young corals’ role in reef restoration. D. To know the key indicators of reef restoration efforts. 13. What determines the effectiveness of reef restoration? A. The type of coral competitors. B. The depth of coral habitats. C. The survival rate of adult corals. D. The concentration of young corals. 14. What do the researchers probably think can help corals survive? A. Monitoring young corals in labs. B. Maintaining coral genetic diversity. C. Focusing on protecting adult corals. D. Raising species resistant to deadly diseases. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Recovery potential of young corals B. The threat of coral disease outbreaks C. Coral resistance to environmental stress D. The observation of young corals in restoration 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。 In recent years, weight training has experienced an increase in popularity.

A fight starts over a small thing, but quickly is out of control, threatening to ruin your relationship. I experienced this kind of fight with my mom, the person I am closest to in the whole world and the person I can’t imagine living without. My mom and I traveled as a team in London. I am a professional travel blogger. Wherever we go, we seek out places to try the most delicious vegetarian food. And then I write about our experiences on my travel blog. My blog is my work and passion. I was very excited about our first trip to London. We had five days of adventure planned. This trip meant five wonderful places to try breakfast. I knew the cafes and restaurants I wanted to write about. I had done my research and I was on a mission. This day, our mission was to find the place called Tibits, a nice self-service vegetarian restaurant. 10 minutes passed, 20 minutes passed and we were still walking on the sidewalk. Mom started dragging behind. She moaned (抱怨), “Saniya, I’m hungry. Why do we have to do this? Let’s have breakfast across the road in that cafe and move on.” I ignored her proposal and tiredness but just tried to explain how important it was for me to find a new place to write about and that the success of my blog depended on it. I kept dragging her along. Walking, walking, endless sidewalk, endless cafes. Suddenly, Mom stopped still. She raised her voice and said angrily, “Enough, Saniya. I don’t want to go anywhere!” These were the words I would not hear. I’d had enough of her moaning. “You just don’t get it! This is my job, my passion! How can you be so selfish?” I shouted, my voice shaking. 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。 I turned around and stormed away from her, determined to find Tibits on my own. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My anger faded the instant I saw her heading for a bus stop, lost and exhausted. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 英语 注意事项 1．本场考试120分钟，满分150分。试卷共12页。考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 2．答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚，将条形码准确粘贴在考生信息条形码粘贴区。 3．回答选择题时，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如果改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。非选择题必须使用黑色签字笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清楚。 4．请按照题号顺序在答题卡各题目的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效；在草稿纸、试卷上答题无效。 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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

She would shake violently, feeling freezing cold even though she had a dangerously high fever. When Krystal and her two younger brothers were growing up, their mother worked to support the family. When one of her children got malaria, the mother was left with the impossible decision of whether to stay at home and care for her sick child or go to work to earn money to pay for the treatment. The horrific impact that malaria had on her family and community inspired Krystal to dedicate her life to terminating the disease. Today, Krystal works as a field entomologist at the Uganda Virus Research Institute on a project called Target Malaria, which aims to develop genetic technology to reduce mosquito populations and interrupt transmission of the disease. But children there can’t wait. Uganda’s tropical climate and mix of warm, humid forests and large agricultural settlements create a fertile breeding ground for mosquitoes that carry malaria. Luckily, the Global Fund is there to help. Krystal says that the Global Fund’s arrival in Uganda was a game changer. By 2023, with its support, the usage rate of long-lasting insecticidal nets among at-risk groups in Uganda had reached 53%, and over 95% of people with symptoms received malaria tests. Uganda reported 12.6 million malaria cases in 2023, remaining a high-burden country, but the fund’s 2.7 billion US dollars investment in malaria control across high-burden countries including Uganda in 2024 has sustained progress in prevention. Today, Krystal is a mother to a three-year-old son, Theo. She is thankful that she does not face the same challenges that her mother did. And she believes that with joint efforts, malaria will be greatly reduced as a threat to children’s childhoods in Uganda. 4. What can we learn from Krystal’s experience at five? A. Malaria spread fast among kids. B. Malaria used to be common in Uganda. C. Malaria had similar symptoms to a cold. D. Malaria was a greatly threatening disease. 5. What does the underlined word “terminating” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Ending. B. Curing. C. Demonstrating. D. Researching. 6. How does the author stress the Global Fund’s significance? A. By quoting Krystal’s words. B. By telling stories related to malaria. C. By giving specific achievement data. D. By listing its scientific breakthroughs. 7. Which of the following best describes Krystal? A. Tolerant. B. Sympathetic. C. Considerate. D. Innovative. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】讲述了克里斯特尔幼时饱受疟疾折磨，心怀善意投身防疫工作。全球基金助力当地防控初见成效，她期盼合力消除疟疾对当地孩童的危害。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Krystal Mwesiga Birungi vividly remembers the first time she had malaria when she was just five years old. It was a feeling of overwhelming weakness. Despite having a burning thirst, she was unable to lift her head for a sip of water. She could not eat because she would immediately throw up. She would shake violently, feeling freezing cold even though she had a dangerously high fever. (克里斯托尔·姆韦西加·比鲁尼尼清楚地记得自己五岁时第一次患疟疾的情景。那种极度虚弱的感觉令人心悸。尽管极度口渴，但她却无法抬起头去喝一口水。她无法进食，因为一吃东西就会呕吐。她会剧烈颤抖，尽管体温高得危险，但她却感到浑身冰冷。)”可知，从克丽丝汀五岁时的经历中，可得知疟疾是一种极具威胁性的疾病。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The horrific impact that malaria had on her family and community inspired Krystal to dedicate her life to (疟疾给她的家庭和社区带来的可怕影响，促使克里斯托决定将自己的一生奉献给……)”可知，目睹疟疾危害立志消灭该疾病。故划线词意思是“消灭，结束”。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“By 2023, with its support, the usage rate of long-lasting insecticidal nets among at-risk groups in Uganda had reached 53%, and over 95% of people with symptoms received malaria tests. Uganda reported 12.6 million malaria cases in 2023, remaining a high-burden country, but the fund’s 2.7 billion US dollars investment in malaria control across high-burden countries including Uganda in 2024 has sustained progress in prevention. (到2023年，在其支持下，乌干达高危人群使用长效杀虫蚊帐的比例已达到53%，且超过95%的有症状人群接受了疟疾检测。乌干达在2023年报告了1260万例疟疾病例，仍为高负担国家，但该基金2024年在包括乌干达在内的高负担国家对疟疾控制的27亿美元投资使预防工作得以持续推进。)”可知，作者通过提供具体的成就数据强调全球基金的重要性。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The horrific impact that malaria had on her family and community inspired Krystal to dedicate her life to terminating the disease.

And over a quarter of a building’s energy is lost through today’s glass windows. In the winter they let heat out, while in the summer they let the sun’s heat in. “To block heat exchange, you can put a lot of insulation (隔热材料) in your walls, but windows need to be transparent (透明的),” said Ivan I. Smalyukh, a professor of physics at CU Boulder. “Finding insulators that are transparent is really challenging.” Researchers have made smart windows that change their features to offer energy efficiency. To keep things transparent, some teams have made clear window coatings from beer waste and by layering many thin films made of common materials. Smalyukh and his colleagues, meanwhile, have in the past made clear gel films from wood cellulose nanofibers. Those aerogels contained randomly spread air pockets that block heat. Their latest material, reported in the journal Science, is a silicone-based gel. The material, which they call Mesoporous Optically Clear Heat Insulator, or MOCHI, contains precisely arranged pockets of air that are much thinner than a human hair. The researchers make it by mixing surfactants (表面活性剂) in a liquid silicone solution. The surfactants join to each other to form a complicated pipelike network, and the silicone sticks to the outside of these structures. Then the researchers wash away the surfactant and water, and replace them with air. MOCHI is 90% air, and it allows more than 99% of light falling on it to pass through. Its thermal transmittance-which measures how much heat is lost through a window for every degree of temperature difference between the inside and outside-beats conventional windows by a large amount. While the best commercial windows have a transmittance of 0.2 W/(m²·K), the new material has 0.01 W/(m²·K). The materials used to make MOCHI are relatively low-cost, but transforming them into the final material in the lab is far from efficient. Smalyukh reflects that the gap between a promising material and a practical one often lies not in what it is made of, but in how it is made. When asked about the next steps, he said simply, “We’re still asking the right questions.” 8. What does the problem mentioned by Smalyukh in Paragraph 1 suggest? A. Walls need more insulation to save energy. B. Transparent heat blockers are hard to develop. C. Glass windows cause 40% of global energy loss. D. Smart windows have solved the energy problem. 9. Why are surfactants used in MOCHI? A. To fill the network with 90% air quickly. B. To form a basic structure for attachment. C. To help the film stick to the window surface. D. To make the material thinner than human hair. 10. What does the new material’s thermal transmittance show? A. Strong heat blocking. B. Great transparency. C. High content of air. D. Light weight. 11. What would the researchers work on next? A. Marketing MOCHI to residents. B. Testing MOCHI in real buildings soon. C. Replacing cheaper materials for MOCHI. D. Improving MOCHI’s producing methods. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了建筑窗户能耗损耗严重，科研人员研发出新型透明隔热材料 MOCHI，透光强、隔热效果极佳，原料成本低，但制作效率不足，团队后续将优化生产工艺。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Finding insulators that are transparent is really challenging. (找到透明的绝缘体确实是一项极具挑战性的任务。)”可知，第1段中斯马柳克所提到的问题暗示了透明的隔热材料难以研发出来。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The surfactants join to each other to form a complicated pipelike network, and the silicone sticks to the outside of these structures. (表面活性剂相互结合，形成一个复杂的管状网络结构，而硅酮则附着在这些结构的外部。)”可知，在MOCHI中使用表面活性剂是为了形成用于附着的基础结构。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“MOCHI is 90% air, and it allows more than 99% of light falling on it to pass through. Its thermal transmittance-which measures how much heat is lost through a window for every degree of temperature difference between the inside and outside-beats conventional windows by a large amount. While the best commercial windows have a transmittance of 0.2 W/(m²·K), the new material has 0.01 W/(m²·K). (这种MOCHI材料九成成分为空气，能透过99%以上的入射光线。其传热系数用于衡量室内外每相差一度时窗户散失的热量，隔热性能远超传统窗户。市面上最优商用窗户热传导系数为0.2瓦/(平方米·开尔文)，而这款新材料仅为0.01瓦/(平方米·开尔文)。)”可知，这种新材料有强大的隔热效果。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The materials used to make MOCHI are relatively low-cost, but transforming them into the final material in the lab is far from efficient. (制作MOCHI所用的材料成本相对较低，但将其在实验室中转化为最终成品的过程却远非高效。)”可知，研究人员接下来会优化MOCHI的生产方法。 D The Caribbean has been facing severe challenges due to coral disease outbreaks, which have destroyed populations of various coral species over recent years. Researchers from National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) have been closely examining the behavior of young corals in areas where adult corals have died off. What they are finding is beginning to reshape how scientists think about natural reef (礁) recovery. The researchers combined field observations with lab experiments for their research. Their studies showed that young corals not only grow very fast but also have a great ability to get used to changing environmental conditions. Interestingly, the study highlights how the spatial distribution of young corals plays a crucial role in their ability to recover. Areas with high densities (密集) of young corals showed signs of rapid recovery, suggesting that these young corals can outcompete competitors that threaten their survival. In contrast, regions with fewer young corals faced longer recovery times, showing the need for targeted conservation strategies that prioritize the protection of young coral habitats. Besides field observations, laboratory experiments done in the study also provided new insights into how young corals physically react to stressful conditions. When they were put in situations that copy disease outbreaks, these young corals showed great resistance, which suggests they may be tougher than adult corals. This discovery puts young corals in the spotlight, as they could be key to reef recovery after ecological damage. What’s more, the researchers also studied the role of genetic diversity in groups of young corals and how it affects their recovery. Coral species with greater genetic diversity were found to be more resistant to diseases and environmental pressures. As global efforts to fight climate change gain more support, healthy coral reefs provide many essential benefits: protecting coastlines, offering living spaces for countless sea creatures, and supporting local economies through tourism and fishing industries. The results of this study strongly remind us that protecting the basic parts of these ecosystems — such as young coral groups — is key not only to the reefs’ survival, but also to the health of the whole marine environment. 12. What is the researchers’ purpose in doing the research? A. To stop coral disease outbreaks. B. To restore coral reefs more efficiently. C. To study young corals’ role in reef restoration. D. To know the key indicators of reef restoration efforts. 13. What determines the effectiveness of reef restoration? A. The type of coral competitors. B. The depth of coral habitats. C. The survival rate of adult corals. D. The concentration of young corals. 14. What do the researchers probably think can help corals survive? A. Monitoring young corals in labs. B. Maintaining coral genetic diversity. C. Focusing on protecting adult corals. D. Raising species resistant to deadly diseases. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Recovery potential of young corals B. The threat of coral disease outbreaks C. Coral resistance to environmental stress D. The observation of young corals in restoration 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15.

A fight starts over a small thing, but quickly is out of control, threatening to ruin your relationship. I experienced this kind of fight with my mom, the person I am closest to in the whole world and the person I can’t imagine living without. My mom and I traveled as a team in London. I am a professional travel blogger. Wherever we go, we seek out places to try the most delicious vegetarian food. And then I write about our experiences on my travel blog. My blog is my work and passion. I was very excited about our first trip to London. We had five days of adventure planned. This trip meant five wonderful places to try breakfast. I knew the cafes and restaurants I wanted to write about. I had done my research and I was on a mission. This day, our mission was to find the place called Tibits, a nice self-service vegetarian restaurant. 10 minutes passed, 20 minutes passed and we were still walking on the sidewalk. Mom started dragging behind. She moaned (抱怨), “Saniya, I’m hungry. Why do we have to do this? Let’s have breakfast across the road in that cafe and move on.” I ignored her proposal and tiredness but just tried to explain how important it was for me to find a new place to write about and that the success of my blog depended on it. I kept dragging her along. Walking, walking, endless sidewalk, endless cafes. Suddenly, Mom stopped still. She raised her voice and said angrily, “Enough, Saniya. I don’t want to go anywhere!” These were the words I would not hear. I’d had enough of her moaning. “You just don’t get it! This is my job, my passion! How can you be so selfish?” I shouted, my voice shaking. 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。 I turned around and stormed away from her, determined to find Tibits on my own. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ My anger faded the instant I saw her heading for a bus stop, lost and exhausted. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 I turned around and stormed away from her, determined to find Tibits on my own. Heart burning with anger, I quickened my pace without glancing back. The noisy street seemed empty and cold. Though I eventually located the restaurant and tasted its delicious food, I felt no joy at all. Guilt gradually crept into my mind. I realized I had ignored Mom’s tiredness and hunger just for my blog. Worse still, I spoke harshly to the person who loved me most. Regret filled my heart, making it hard for me to enjoy the meal. My anger faded the instant I saw her heading for a bus stop, lost and exhausted. Her messy hair and tired eyes pained me deeply. I rushed over and apologized sincerely. Mom smiled weakly and patted my shoulder, saying she understood my devotion to my blog. We hugged each other tightly, all the anger disappearing. Later, we had a simple breakfast together. This quarrel taught me that love needs understanding. Never should I let my passion hurt the one I love. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了身为旅行博主的作者和母亲同游伦敦，一心想找到特色素食店为博客取材，不顾母亲疲惫饥饿，自己执意前行，二人因此激烈争吵。作者赌气独自找到餐厅，却满心愧疚毫无食欲。望见落寞疲惫的母亲后，作者主动诚恳道歉，母女俩和好如初。这场争执让作者明白，爱意贵在相互体谅，切莫因自身热爱伤害至亲之人。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者赌气独自找到餐厅，却满心愧疚毫无食欲。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者望见落寞疲惫的母亲后，作者主动诚恳道歉，母女俩和好如初。这场争执让作者明白，爱意贵在相互体谅，切莫因自身热爱伤害至亲之人。 2.续写线索：赌气离开——找到餐厅——感到愧疚——看到母亲——作者道歉——母女和好——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①忽视：ignore/overlook ②品尝：taste/sample ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①理解：understanding/comprehension ②困难的：hard/tough 【点睛】[高分句型1] Regret filled my heart, making it hard for me to enjoy the meal.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] Though I eventually located the restaurant and tasted its delicious food, I felt no joy at all.（运用了though引导让步状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
