They are revolutionizing how goods can be delivered and received. People can pick up a package from a locker at a time that suits them, in a convenient location near their residence or workplace. Yet for all their advantages, parcel lockers are still far from being widely adopted by online shoppers. Many consumers still opt to have their online shopping parcels delivered directly to their homes instead of using parcel lockers, simply because they don't know this delivery option when placing online orders and thus have never tried it. Even though locker usage is still low, companies and government agencies hope more shoppers will try it as they learn about the benefits. Using parcel lockers can help reduce traffic from delivery vehicles and lower our carbon footprint, which is better for the Earth. So, why not give easyLocker a try? 1. What keeps some shoppers from trying a parcel locker? A. Inconvenient locations. B. Environmental concerns. C. Inefficiency of delivery. D. Unawareness of its presence. 2. What must users of easyLocker do? A. Enter a special combination to collect their parcels. B. Collect their parcels within 24 hours. C. Leave the locker unlocked before leaving. D. Inform the deliveryman of their location. 3. Who are the targeted readers of the text? A. Locker producers. B. Delivery personnel. C. Online purchasers. D. Potential investors. B Jesse Barber, a documentary photographer and lifelong resident of Western North Carolina, brings a deeply personal camera to cover the destruction of Hurricane Helene. As a graduate of Appalachian State University in Documentary and Appalachian Studies, Barber focuses on capturing rural life in his beloved mountains. However, Helene presented an unexpected challenge. “The photos of destruction are endless, and are going to continue to be endless,” he said. Barber drove over 1,000 miles in the region over three days last week, to Brevard and beyond, finding the shots, talking with rescue workers and residents. But as a local, Barber brought a different focus than many journalists and photographers covering the storm's destruction and the beginnings of recovery. “I started to feel the outsider in me becomes the insider,” he says. His copious knowledge of the conditions in the area proved crucial. When an editor suggested staying in an Asheville hotel, Barber knew it was impossible. Leaving his own flooding basement, he found no gas or food, realizing the situation was far worse than editors understood. At a Marion gas station, he photographed a man whose house was half-destroyed, a pure introduction to the degree of personal loss. Barber’s approach prioritized connection over quick disaster shots. “I’m trying to experience and listen,” he says, valuing the sense of place and people. While documenting shocking geological changes, he also sought resilience and hope among the disaster. He met tired and hungry residents maintaining positive attitudes, like a Bat Cave-born volunteer firefighter in Chimney Rock who insisted, “We’ll be all right... Things will be a little different but we'll still be here.“ As national attention shifts, Barber will remain focused on Appalachia. His rapid response during Helene “confirmed my investment in staying rooted in place,” he says, ensuring his choice to live in Morganton over larger art centres. “I do feel like my work and my instruction are worthwhile. I just want to do my people good.” 4. What prepared Barber to cover Hurricane Helene? A. His studies in big cities B. Work with national media. C. Special disaster training. D. His local life experience. 5. What does the underlined word “copious” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Enormous. B. Valuable. C. Advanced. D. Further. 6. What makes Barber’s photos different from others? A. Centering on destruction. B. Ignoring people’s suffering. C. Focusing on people’s spirits. D. Avoiding geological change. 7. What does Barber’s story show? A. Disaster shots define impact. B. Social responsibilities matter. C. Big cities offer better growth. D. Teamwork is crucial in media. C From an airplane, cars moving slowly on the highway closely resemble a line of ants. Unlike these human-driven vehicles, however, ants are able to avoid the frustrating stop-and-go traffic that bothers daily commutes. Researchers have therefore turned their attention to studying the ants’ teamwork-based behaviors, hoping to apply these insights to programming self-driving cars that can prevent traffic jams. As the number of cars on highways keeps growing, the stability of traffic flow gradually decreases. Studies show that when the density reaches 15 vehicles per mile per lane, a single driver’s sudden brake tap can give rise to long-lasting and widespread traffic jams. Scientist Katsuhiro Nishinari, a mathematical physicist studying traffic transitions, compares this phenomenon to a phase transition, such as water turning into ice. Even small individual actions in such situations can quickly develop into major traffic issues. Katsuhiro Nishinari’s previous research has already shown that food-seeking ants can maintain smooth movement even when their population density is very high. A recent follow-up study has uncovered they usually travel in groups of 3 to 20 individuals, moving at steady speeds with proper gaps between each other and never attempting to overtake. Their behavior depends on mutual collaboration rather than individual preferences. This collective intelligence offers a lesson for human drivers today. One key takeaway is to avoid tailgating. Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead helps absorb the shock waves caused by sudden braking in dense traffic — a simple practice that prioritizes the smooth flow of the whole over individual hurry. Of course, ants have the natural advantage of creating flexible paths, while cars are bound to fixed lanes. But the principle of maintaining proper spacing remains crucial for safety and efficiency on our roads. Looking ahead, the real transformation may come from technology. As Katsuhiro Nishinari points out, “Unlike human drivers who often act independently, future self-driving cars could be designed to share real-time data and function as an integrated system.” Inspired by ants, these vehicles can upgrade traffic flow as a cooperative system, potentially requiring updates to existing regulations to fully realize their benefits. 8. What can cause widespread highway traffic jams directly? A. A total of 15 cars per mile. B. Ant behaviors affecting driving. C. Reduced stability of traffic flow. D. A sudden brake at a certain density. 9. What is the purpose of mentioning the recent follow-up study in paragraph 3? A. To explain how intelligent ants are. B. To reveal how ants cooperate to seek food. C. To detail how ants achieve smooth movement. D. To compare how ants move with human drivers 10. What does the underlined word “tailgating” probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Keeping a proper distance. B. Driving too close to the front. C. Following strict traffic rules. D. Seeking efficient lane position. 11. What is Katsuhiro Nishinari’s suggestion for ant-inspired self-driving cars? A. Collect personal travel data. B. Adopt a collaborative approach. C. Redesign traffic rules constantly. D. Rely on upgrading road systems. D MIT scientists have created a kind of high-tech “wrap” capable of collecting safe drinking water directly from the air even in extreme environments. The water harvester is made from hydrogel (水凝胶) that is wrapped between two layers of glass. At night, the device absorbs water vapor (蒸气) from the atmosphere. During the day, the vapor becomes water on the glass thanks to a coating that keeps the glass cool. The liquid water then flows down the glass and is collected in a system of tubes.The hydrogel comes in a special shape — a series of round roofs with a circular base, which are like a sheet of wrap that expands when absorbing water vapor. The shape increases the material’s surface area, which increases the amount of vapor it can hold. This process requires no electricity, enhancing its sustainability and suitability. Scientists tested the new device for a week in Death Valley, the hottest and driest place in North America. It could even generate about 1/4 to 2/3 of a cup of water(57 ml-161.5ml) every day. In other areas, the device should generate more. One challenge with the hydrogel had been the leakage of harmful salts into the collected water, but the team overcame this by using a salt stabilizer, reducing harmful salt leakage to concentrations well below safety limits for ground water. While one panel might not produce enough water to sustain an entire household, it doesn’t take up much space, which means multiple panels could be set up for a single household. The scientists estimate that eight panels could be enough to supply a household in places where there isn’t easy access to safe drinking water. Compared to the costs of bottled water, the device could pay for itself in less than a month and last at least one year. The new water harvester is a major step towards providing safe, accessible drinking water for people across the globe, and works wherever you may find water vapor in the air. The team plans to test the panels in more resource-limited environments to learn more about the device’s performance under different conditions. 12. What determines the amount of the hydrogel’s water harvest? A. The quality of the cool coating. B. The number of the glass layers. C. The specially designed structure. D. The vapor-absorbing frequency. 13. What advantage of the device is stressed in paragraph 3? A. It is sustainable. B. It is high-tech. C. It is productive. D. It is heat-resistant. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The device’s potential for home use. B. The device’s low cost for households. C. The panel’s suitability for tiny spaces. D. The panel’s capacity for water supply. 15. What is the team’s next focus concerning the device? A. Doing global tests on it. B. Exploring its adaptability. C. Enhancing its effectiveness. D. Introducing it to other fields. 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。 Travel journals have long been treasured by adventurers, from the detailed logs of ancient explorers navigating uncharted lands to the digital notes of modern travelers documenting global journeys. ____16____ However, they are precious accounts that capture the essence of your journey — places explored, people encountered, and moments lived. Keeping a travel journal offers a wealth of benefits. It preserves fleeting intangible details, like the fresh smells on a Parisian street corner or the rhythmic crash of waves breaking on a distant shore. ____17____By reflecting on your experiences in writing, you're strengthening those memories and making them easier to recall later.

I was still recovering from an operation. “Mom, let’s play,” Mateo looked at me and said. Trying hard to ignore the pain in my stomach, I shook my head and replied, “Not today, sweetie.” These days, getting out of bed was a real struggle for me. I longed for strength and happiness, yet the future seemed so hopeless. All of a sudden, Mateo jumped up from where he was sitting on the kitchen floor. He shouted, “Bird!” and then ran towards our courtyard. I looked in the direction he was looking and, sure enough, there was a white dove (鸽子) landing in a rubber tree. It stayed there for a little while and then flew away. It was quite odd because I’d never seen a white dove in our neighborhood before. The next morning, I dragged myself into the kitchen. To my surprise, the dove was back, and this time it had a mate carrying some sticks. I pointed to the tree and said to Mateo, “Look, they’re going to build a nest.” Throughout the week, the doves flew in and out of the courtyard, building their nest on top of the rubber tree. Mateo was extremely excited. Every morning, he would rush into the kitchen and stand by the sliding glass door. He would talk to the birds as they worked. His joy was influential. Although feeling sad, I couldn’t help but look forward to the doves’ visits. However, things took a turn for the worse. The courtyard seemed like a safe place for a nest, but the rubber tree’s small branches were not stable at all. One night, a strong wind blew, and the doves’ nest was blown to the ground. I heard the small branches break. I checked the damage. Nothing good ever lasts. I wouldn’t blame the doves if they never came back. But they returned. They didn’t even look at the pile of sticks that used to be their nest. They started building all over again. Unfortunately, the wind destroyed their work again. But day after day, they kept starting again as if nothing had occurred. 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 realized that I should take some measures. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Look!

B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了纪实摄影师Jesse Barber凭借本土生活经历拍摄海伦飓风受灾实况，他侧重记录灾情之下人们的精神面貌与希望，坚守家乡用影像为当地民众传递温暖、践行社会责任。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第一段“Jesse Barber, a documentary photographer and lifelong resident of Western North Carolina, brings a deeply personal camera to cover the destruction of Hurricane Helene.(Jesse Barber是一名纪实摄影师，也是土生土长的北卡罗来纳州西部居民，他带着饱含个人情感的镜头记录海伦飓风造成的灾情。)”可知，是他本土的生活阅历为他报道此次飓风灾情做好了准备。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据原文第三段“His copious knowledge of the conditions in the area proved crucial.(他对这片地区情况十分丰富的了解起到了至关重要的作用。)”及“When an editor suggested staying in an Asheville hotel, Barber knew it was impossible.(有编辑建议他住在阿什维尔的酒店，Barber清楚这根本行不通。)”及第一段“Jesse Barber, a documentary photographer and lifelong resident of Western North Carolina (Jesse Barber是一名纪实摄影师，也是土生土长的北卡罗来纳州西部居民)”可知，Jesse Barber是土生土长的北卡罗来纳州西部居民，非常清楚编辑的建议不合理，说明他对当地情况非常了解，故copious表示数量多、大量的，enormous与之含义相符。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第四段“While documenting shocking geological changes, he also sought resilience and hope among the disaster.(他在记录触目惊心的地貌变化的同时，也着力挖掘灾难之中人们展现出的坚韧与希望。)”可知，他拍摄的作品与众不同之处在于聚焦人们的精神状态。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第四段“Barber’s approach prioritized connection over quick disaster shots. “I’m trying to experience and listen,” he says, valuing the sense of place and people.(Barber的拍摄方式更注重与人建立情感联结，而非仓促拍下灾难画面。他说：“我试着亲身感受、用心倾听”，格外重视这片土地以及当地的人们。)”及最后一段““I do feel like my work and my instruction are worthwhile. I just want to do my people good.”(“我真切觉得自己的工作和指导都很有意义，我只想为家乡百姓尽一份力。”)” 可知，他的故事体现出承担社会责任有着十分重要的意义。 C From an airplane, cars moving slowly on the highway closely resemble a line of ants. Unlike these human-driven vehicles, however, ants are able to avoid the frustrating stop-and-go traffic that bothers daily commutes. Researchers have therefore turned their attention to studying the ants’ teamwork-based behaviors, hoping to apply these insights to programming self-driving cars that can prevent traffic jams. As the number of cars on highways keeps growing, the stability of traffic flow gradually decreases. Studies show that when the density reaches 15 vehicles per mile per lane, a single driver’s sudden brake tap can give rise to long-lasting and widespread traffic jams. Scientist Katsuhiro Nishinari, a mathematical physicist studying traffic transitions, compares this phenomenon to a phase transition, such as water turning into ice. Even small individual actions in such situations can quickly develop into major traffic issues. Katsuhiro Nishinari’s previous research has already shown that food-seeking ants can maintain smooth movement even when their population density is very high. A recent follow-up study has uncovered they usually travel in groups of 3 to 20 individuals, moving at steady speeds with proper gaps between each other and never attempting to overtake. Their behavior depends on mutual collaboration rather than individual preferences. This collective intelligence offers a lesson for human drivers today. One key takeaway is to avoid tailgating. Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead helps absorb the shock waves caused by sudden braking in dense traffic — a simple practice that prioritizes the smooth flow of the whole over individual hurry. Of course, ants have the natural advantage of creating flexible paths, while cars are bound to fixed lanes. But the principle of maintaining proper spacing remains crucial for safety and efficiency on our roads. Looking ahead, the real transformation may come from technology. As Katsuhiro Nishinari points out, “Unlike human drivers who often act independently, future self-driving cars could be designed to share real-time data and function as an integrated system.” Inspired by ants, these vehicles can upgrade traffic flow as a cooperative system, potentially requiring updates to existing regulations to fully realize their benefits. 8. What can cause widespread highway traffic jams directly? A. A total of 15 cars per mile. B. Ant behaviors affecting driving. C. Reduced stability of traffic flow. D. A sudden brake at a certain density. 9. What is the purpose of mentioning the recent follow-up study in paragraph 3? A. To explain how intelligent ants are. B. To reveal how ants cooperate to seek food. C. To detail how ants achieve smooth movement. D. To compare how ants move with human drivers 10. What does the underlined word “tailgating” probably mean in paragraph 4? A. Keeping a proper distance. B. Driving too close to the front. C. Following strict traffic rules. D. Seeking efficient lane position. 11. What is Katsuhiro Nishinari’s suggestion for ant-inspired self-driving cars? A. Collect personal travel data. B. Adopt a collaborative approach. C. Redesign traffic rules constantly. D. Rely on upgrading road systems. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍研究人员通过研究蚂蚁的团队协作行为，为自动驾驶汽车编程提供思路，以解决高速公路交通拥堵问题。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Studies show that when the density reaches 15 vehicles per mile per lane, a single driver’s sudden brake tap can give rise to long-lasting and widespread traffic jams.(研究表明，当密度达到每英里每车道15辆车时，单个司机的突然刹车会导致持久且广泛的交通拥堵)”可知，在特定密度下的突然刹车会直接导致大范围的高速公路交通拥堵。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Katsuhiro Nishinari’s previous research has already shown that food-seeking ants can maintain smooth movement even when their population density is very high. A recent follow-up study has uncovered they usually travel in groups of 3 to 20 individuals, moving at steady speeds with proper gaps between each other and never attempting to overtake.(Katsuhiro Nishinar之前的研究已经表明，寻找食物的蚂蚁即使在种群密度很高的情况下也能保持平稳移动。最近的一项后续研究发现，它们通常以3到20只为一组行进，以稳定的速度移动，彼此之间保持适当的距离，从不试图超车)”可知，提到这项后续研究是为了详细说明蚂蚁如何实现平稳移动。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“One key takeaway is to avoid tailgating. Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead helps absorb the shock waves caused by sudden braking in dense traffic — a simple practice that prioritizes the smooth flow of the whole over individual hurry.(一个关键的收获是避免tailgating。与前车保持安全距离有助于吸收交通拥堵时突然刹车造成的冲击波——这是一种将整体顺畅流动置于个人匆忙之上的简单做法)”可知，tailgating与后文“Keeping a safe distance from the vehicle ahead(与前车保持安全距离)”意思相反，指开车离前车太近。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“As Katsuhiro Nishinari points out, “Unlike human drivers who often act independently, future self-driving cars could be designed to share real-time data and function as an integrated system.”(正如Katsuhiro Nishinari所指出的：“与经常独立行动的人类司机不同，未来的自动驾驶汽车可以设计成共享实时数据，并作为一个集成系统发挥作用。”)”可知，Katsuhiro Nishinari建议受蚂蚁启发的自动驾驶汽车采用协作模式。 D MIT scientists have created a kind of high-tech “wrap” capable of collecting safe drinking water directly from the air even in extreme environments. The water harvester is made from hydrogel (水凝胶) that is wrapped between two layers of glass. At night, the device absorbs water vapor (蒸气) from the atmosphere. During the day, the vapor becomes water on the glass thanks to a coating that keeps the glass cool. The liquid water then flows down the glass and is collected in a system of tubes.The hydrogel comes in a special shape — a series of round roofs with a circular base, which are like a sheet of wrap that expands when absorbing water vapor. The shape increases the material’s surface area, which increases the amount of vapor it can hold. This process requires no electricity, enhancing its sustainability and suitability. Scientists tested the new device for a week in Death Valley, the hottest and driest place in North America. It could even generate about 1/4 to 2/3 of a cup of water(57 ml-161.5ml) every day. In other areas, the device should generate more. One challenge with the hydrogel had been the leakage of harmful salts into the collected water, but the team overcame this by using a salt stabilizer, reducing harmful salt leakage to concentrations well below safety limits for ground water. While one panel might not produce enough water to sustain an entire household, it doesn’t take up much space, which means multiple panels could be set up for a single household. The scientists estimate that eight panels could be enough to supply a household in places where there isn’t easy access to safe drinking water. Compared to the costs of bottled water, the device could pay for itself in less than a month and last at least one year. The new water harvester is a major step towards providing safe, accessible drinking water for people across the globe, and works wherever you may find water vapor in the air. The team plans to test the panels in more resource-limited environments to learn more about the device’s performance under different conditions. 12. What determines the amount of the hydrogel’s water harvest? A. The quality of the cool coating. B. The number of the glass layers. C. The specially designed structure. D. The vapor-absorbing frequency. 13. What advantage of the device is stressed in paragraph 3? A. It is sustainable. B. It is high-tech. C. It is productive. D. It is heat-resistant. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The device’s potential for home use. B. The device’s low cost for households. C. The panel’s suitability for tiny spaces. D. The panel’s capacity for water supply. 15. What is the team’s next focus concerning the device? A. Doing global tests on it. B. Exploring its adaptability. C. Enhancing its effectiveness. D. Introducing it to other fields. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍MIT科学家发明的高科技水收集器的工作原理、测试情况、优势及未来研究计划。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The hydrogel comes in a special shape — a series of round roofs with a circular base, which are like a sheet of wrap that expands when absorbing water vapor. The shape increases the material’s surface area, which increases the amount of vapor it can hold.(这种水凝胶具有特殊的形状——一系列带有圆形底座的圆顶，就像一张吸水蒸气时会膨胀的包裹膜。这种形状增加了材料的表面积，从而增加了它能容纳的蒸气量)”可知，水凝胶收集水量的多少取决于其特殊的设计结构。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Scientists tested the new device for a week in Death Valley, the hottest and driest place in North America.

I was still recovering from an operation. “Mom, let’s play,” Mateo looked at me and said. Trying hard to ignore the pain in my stomach, I shook my head and replied, “Not today, sweetie.” These days, getting out of bed was a real struggle for me. I longed for strength and happiness, yet the future seemed so hopeless. All of a sudden, Mateo jumped up from where he was sitting on the kitchen floor. He shouted, “Bird!” and then ran towards our courtyard. I looked in the direction he was looking and, sure enough, there was a white dove (鸽子) landing in a rubber tree. It stayed there for a little while and then flew away. It was quite odd because I’d never seen a white dove in our neighborhood before. The next morning, I dragged myself into the kitchen. To my surprise, the dove was back, and this time it had a mate carrying some sticks. I pointed to the tree and said to Mateo, “Look, they’re going to build a nest.” Throughout the week, the doves flew in and out of the courtyard, building their nest on top of the rubber tree. Mateo was extremely excited. Every morning, he would rush into the kitchen and stand by the sliding glass door. He would talk to the birds as they worked. His joy was influential. Although feeling sad, I couldn’t help but look forward to the doves’ visits. However, things took a turn for the worse. The courtyard seemed like a safe place for a nest, but the rubber tree’s small branches were not stable at all. One night, a strong wind blew, and the doves’ nest was blown to the ground. I heard the small branches break. I checked the damage. Nothing good ever lasts. I wouldn’t blame the doves if they never came back. But they returned. They didn’t even look at the pile of sticks that used to be their nest. They started building all over again. Unfortunately, the wind destroyed their work again. But day after day, they kept starting again as if nothing had occurred. 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 realized that I should take some measures. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Look! The birds have returned!” Mateo shouted. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】示例： I realized that I should take some measures. Having given me comfort in my darkest times, the doves deserved my help in return. I searched around the house carefully, found some pieces of wood and made a solid wooden nest for them. With a lot of effort and care, I managed to climb up a ladder, attached the nest to the rubber tree and covered it with some leaves. It was a challenging job, but the doves’ determination gave me the confidence and strength. After finishing the work, Mateo and I stood by the sliding glass door, waiting and watching with patience. “Look! The birds have returned!” Mateo shouted. Hearing my son’s excited voice, clear as a bell, I looked up. The doves were circling near the nest happily and seemed to be satisfied with the new home. They started to bring small branches and soft feathers right away. Several weeks later, four babies came out of the eggs. The young birds developed day by day, and around a month later, they were fully grown and could fly. As watching them fly high and hearing them sing, I felt more positive and hopeful. The doves taught me to face difficulties bravely and keep moving forward. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述了作者术后身体不适、心情低落时，和儿子看到一对白鸽子来院里筑巢。巢两次被风吹毁，鸽子却坚持重建，作者被其精神打动，为它们做巢。最终鸽子孵出幼鸟，作者也重拾积极和希望。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我意识到我应该采取一些措施。”可知，第一段可描写作者为鸽子制作巢穴并安置好的过程，体现作者的努力与付出。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘看！鸟儿们回来了！’Mateo喊道。”可知，第二段可描写鸽子回到巢穴后的反应，以及它们繁衍后代、成长飞翔的情景，最后作者从中获得的感悟。 2.续写线索： 制作巢穴——安置巢穴——等待鸽子归来——鸽子满意新家——繁衍后代——成长飞翔——感悟道理 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①安置巢穴：attach the nest to.../fix the nest on... ②完成：finish/complete/accomplish ③面对困难：face difficulties/confront challenges 情绪类 ①兴奋：excited/thrilled/exhilarated ②满意：be satisfied with/be content with 【点睛】[高分句型1] After finishing the work, Mateo and I stood by the sliding glass door, waiting and watching with patience.（句中使用动名词finishing作宾语，以及现在分词waiting和watching作状语） [高分句型2] As watching them fly high and hearing them sing, I felt more positive and hopeful.（句中使用状语从句的省略结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
