Lubbock Lubbock is a small town with a big heart for art. It’s best known as the birthplace of Buddy Holly, one of the most important figures in rock and roll. The town honors Holly with street art featuring his famous glasses, and a performance center named after him — the Buddy Holly Hall. His influence can be seen all over the town. Shreveport In the 1940s and 50s, Shreveport was a major center of American music. It was home to the Louisiana Hayride, a radio show where music stars like Elvis Presley, Hank Williams, and Johnny Cash began their careers (职业).The show was so influential that it was called “The Cradle of the Stars”, and it became second only to the Grand Ole Opry in importance for country music. Clarksdale Clarksdale is a small town in the Mississippi Delta where the sound of blues music started. It’s famous as the place where musicians like Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, and Howlin’ Wolf grew up. It seems like you could hear blues playing around every corner, seven nights a week. Macon Macon is a town full of history and music, with a mix of Southern charm (魅力) and modern culture. It’s known as “the city where soul (灵魂) lives”, and that’s true because it’s where both Little Richard, the “Architect of Rock and Roll”, and Otis Redding, the “King of Soul”, grew up. Visitors can tour the Capricorn Sound Studios, where Southern rock music was born. 1. Which town has a close connection to Buddy Holly? A. Macon. B. Lubbock. C. Shreveport. D. Clarksdale. 2. What is Clarksdale famous for? A. Jazz music. B. Blues music. C. Rock and roll. D. Country music. 3. Where will you go if you want to explore the history of Southern rock music? A. The Grand Ole Opry. B. The Louisiana Hayride. C. The Buddy Holly Hall. D. The Capricorn Sound Studios. B The rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) in the world has benefited robot makers and computer scientists. It’s also providing an unexpected income for Anguilla, a tiny island in the Caribbean, as foreign companies and individuals fight to register websites that end in .ai. Fueled by the increasing interest in AI, Anguilla’s earnings from web domain (域名) registration fees grew by 400% last year to $32 million. The income now accounts for about 20% of Anguilla’s total government income. Just a few years ago, it was at around 5%. To help keep up with the rapid growth in domain registrations, Anguilla is signing a deal with a US-based domain management company, Identity Digital, to help manage the effort. The agreement will mean more money for the government while improving the security of the web addresses. Anguilla’s government, which uses the gov.ai home page, collects a fee every time an .ai web address is renewed. It also gets paid when new addresses are registered and abandoned ones are sold off. The money directly fuels the economy of Anguilla, which is just 91 square kilometers and has a population of about 16,000. Surrounded with blue waters and white sand beaches, the island is a destination for wealthy tourists. Still, many residents are poor and tourism has been frequently hit by powerful hurricanes. “The money takes the pressure off government and helps fund key projects. But we can’t rely on it,” Premier Ellis Webster said. “You can’t predict how long this is going to last.” The island was given the. ai internet address in 1995. It was one of hundreds of ordinary addresses assigned to individual countries and regions based on their names. While the addresses are supposed to indicate a website has a link to a particular region or organization, it’s not always a requirement. So it was just luck that it was Anguilla, and not nearby Antigua, that got the .ai domain. 4. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. Web addresses are often in short supply. B. AI industry is growing fast in Anguilla. C. Anguilla is benefiting from the AI craze. D. Anguilla is a big country in the Caribbean. 5. What is the problem with the tourism in Anguilla? A. The waters and beaches are polluted. B. It is often affected by natural disasters. C. Most tourists spend little money there. D. It is controlled by a US-based company. 6. How did Ellis Webster most probably feel about the new income? A. Relieved and worried. B. Worried and disappointed. C. Ashamed and relieved. D. Disappointed and ashamed. 7. What is a feature of the web domain? A. It must be based on a country’s name. B. It has to be bought by a certain country. C. It is often shared by neighboring countries. D. It is not required to follow the rule strictly. C They are both round, orange and probably bad for your health, but which is the better Thanksgiving dessert: pumpkin or sweet potato pie? For Americans, answers probably depend on where they’re from. “Pumpkin pie!” said Lori Robinson, a customer at Sugar Magnolia Bakery in Flowood, Mississippi. “My mom cooks it every Thanksgiving. It’s much better than sweet potato pie.” “Sweet potato pie!” said Xavier Pittman, another customer. Unlike some bakeries in the area, Sugar Magonlia Bakery makes both pumpkin and sweet potato pies. The owner of the store, Elizabeth Arnold, said the main difference between the pies in her bakery comes down to spices (调料). “Potato pie is sweeter, made with white and brown sugar,” she said. “Pumpkin pie is less sweet and spicier. But our sweet potato pie sells better.” “That’s not surprising in a southern bakery,” explained Adrian Miller, an author known as the “Soul Food Scholar”. “Pumpkin pie is particularly popular in the North, while sweet potato pie is a favorite among Black southerners. The relationship between sweet potatoes and southern Black culture began with slavery (奴隶制).” Although many people believe slavery is the reason why sweet potato pie didn’t take off in the North, Elizabeth Arnold said the answer is likely simpler: access. “Both sweet potatoes and pumpkins were produced in the South. In the North, however, early Americans didn’t plant the orange sweet potatoes,” she said. “I also have a southern root and grew up eating pumpkin and sweet potato pies on Thanksgiving. I’m afraid there will be somebody, every single day, every single year, who will break the rules.” Actually, the two Thanksgiving favorites have more in common than not. They’re similar in color and taste, and came from European carrot pie. The recipes for pumpkin and sweet potato pies were included in the nation’s first cookbook, written in 1796 by Amelia Simmons. 8. What does the underlined word “They” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Answers. B. The two kinds of Thanksgiving pies. C. Americans. D. The pumpkins and sweet potatoes. 9. Which of the following best describes Elizabeth Arnold’s pumpkin pie? A. Healthier. B. Sweeter. C. Spicier. D. More popular. 10. What can be learned from paragraph 7? A. Thanksgiving pies are not a racial identity at all. B. Sweet potato pies are just loved by the Blacks. C. Early Americans didn’t grow sweet potatoes. D. Americans refuse to follow the Thanksgiving custom. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Stop Eating Unhealthy Thanksgiving Desserts B. The True Origin of Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Pies C. A Unique Recipe for Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Pies D. Divided Views on the Traditional Thanksgiving Desserts D Like a magician, Anita Antoninka poured some water over the so-called biocrusts that she had planted in the Arizona desert and within seconds, the seemingly lifeless soil at her feet turned into a blanket of dark-green moss (苔藓)! “These tiny biocrusts help create a protective living skin for Earth’s driest places. They absorb CO2 and produce O₂. They also enrich the dry soil by changing N₂ in the atmosphere into nutrients (营养) other larger plants can use. In turn, the larger plants’ roots grow deep in the ground to protect the soil,” explained Antoninka. “Only when this full cycle starts working does a true ecosystem exist.” However, in dry lands around the world, biocrusts are under threat from climate change and human activities. Biocrusts can regrow, but the process takes centuries. It’s why Antoninka from Northern Arizona University has begun an ambitious new experiment: She is growing biocrusts and transplanting them to some of the driest areas in the US. Luckily for her, she only needs tiny pieces of biocrusts, because any individual cell in biocrusts can regrow into a functioning mini ecosystem, as long as conditions are suitable. And suitable means unpleasant. Antoninka found that life in a greenhouse was too cushy for biocrusts and her experiments there failed. Instead, she found that outdoor places sheltered from extreme heat were enough to toughen up the tiny plants without killing them. Antoninka now grows biocrusts on materials so that they can be rolled up, transported, and planted in new locations. “For years, ecologists have been waiting for biocrusts to return on their own,” said Akasha Faist, an ecologist at New Mexico State University. “But now, efforts from Antoninka have begun to speed up this natural process.” 12. What can we know about biocrusts? A. They can grow into very large plants. B. They can regrow fast in the driest places. C. They are the basis of the ecosystem. D. They can help some chemical reactions. 13. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A. Add some background information. B. Summarize the previous paragraphs. C. Provide some advice for researchers. D. Introduce a new topic for discussion. 14. Which is closest in meaning to “cushy” underlined in paragraph 4? A. Hot. B. Tough. C. Strange. D. Easy. 15. What was Anita Antoninka’s breakthrough according to Akasha Faist? A. She shortened biocrusts’ regrowing time. B. She discovered biocrusts for the first time. C. She invented materials to speed up the process. D. She successfully grew biocrusts in greenhouses. 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。 I was sitting on my sofa, feeling very tired.

But we can’t rely on it,” Premier Ellis Webster said. “You can’t predict how long this is going to last.” The island was given the. ai internet address in 1995. It was one of hundreds of ordinary addresses assigned to individual countries and regions based on their names. While the addresses are supposed to indicate a website has a link to a particular region or organization, it’s not always a requirement. So it was just luck that it was Anguilla, and not nearby Antigua, that got the .ai domain. 4. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs? A. Web addresses are often in short supply. B. AI industry is growing fast in Anguilla. C. Anguilla is benefiting from the AI craze. D. Anguilla is a big country in the Caribbean. 5. What is the problem with the tourism in Anguilla? A. The waters and beaches are polluted. B. It is often affected by natural disasters. C. Most tourists spend little money there. D. It is controlled by a US-based company. 6. How did Ellis Webster most probably feel about the new income? A. Relieved and worried. B. Worried and disappointed. C. Ashamed and relieved. D. Disappointed and ashamed. 7. What is a feature of the web domain? A. It must be based on a country’s name. B. It has to be bought by a certain country. C. It is often shared by neighboring countries. D. It is not required to follow the rule strictly. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章报道了加勒比小岛安圭拉因国家域名与人工智能缩写碰巧一致，意外地从全球AI热潮中获得巨额域名注册收入，显著改善了其经济，但当地政府也清醒地认识到这笔横财的不可持续性。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“It’s also providing an unexpected income for Anguilla, a tiny island in the Caribbean, as foreign companies and individuals fight to register websites that end in .ai. (这还为安圭拉（一个位于加勒比海的小岛国）带来了意想不到的收入，因为众多外国公司和个人都在争相注册以.ai为后缀的网站。)”和第二段中“Fueled by the increasing interest in AI, Anguilla’s earnings from web domain (域名) registration fees grew by 400% last year to $32 million. (由于人们对人工智能的兴趣日益浓厚，安圭拉去年从网络域名注册费中获得的收入增长了400%，达到3200万美元。)”可推知，安圭拉正在从人工智能热潮中获益。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Still, many residents are poor and tourism has been frequently hit by powerful hurricanes. (不过，这里的许多居民生活贫困，而且旅游业也经常受到强飓风的严重影响。)”可知，安圭拉的旅游业面临着经常受到自然灾害影响的问题。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中Ellis Webster所说的话“The money takes the pressure off government and helps fund key projects. But we can’t rely on it (这些钱减轻了政府的压力，并为关键项目提供了资金支持。但我们不能完全依赖它。)”和“You can’t predict how long this is going to last. (你无法预测这会持续多久。)”可知，他肯定收入带来了积极影响，体现宽慰，但指出其不可预测性，体现担忧。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“While the addresses are supposed to indicate a website has a link to a particular region or organization, it’s not always a requirement. (虽然这些地址本应表明某个网站与特定的地区或组织存在关联，但并非总是必须如此。)”可知，网络域名的一个特点是不要求严格遵守规则。 C They are both round, orange and probably bad for your health, but which is the better Thanksgiving dessert: pumpkin or sweet potato pie? For Americans, answers probably depend on where they’re from. “Pumpkin pie!” said Lori Robinson, a customer at Sugar Magnolia Bakery in Flowood, Mississippi. “My mom cooks it every Thanksgiving. It’s much better than sweet potato pie.” “Sweet potato pie!” said Xavier Pittman, another customer. Unlike some bakeries in the area, Sugar Magonlia Bakery makes both pumpkin and sweet potato pies. The owner of the store, Elizabeth Arnold, said the main difference between the pies in her bakery comes down to spices (调料). “Potato pie is sweeter, made with white and brown sugar,” she said. “Pumpkin pie is less sweet and spicier. But our sweet potato pie sells better.” “That’s not surprising in a southern bakery,” explained Adrian Miller, an author known as the “Soul Food Scholar”. “Pumpkin pie is particularly popular in the North, while sweet potato pie is a favorite among Black southerners. The relationship between sweet potatoes and southern Black culture began with slavery (奴隶制).” Although many people believe slavery is the reason why sweet potato pie didn’t take off in the North, Elizabeth Arnold said the answer is likely simpler: access. “Both sweet potatoes and pumpkins were produced in the South. In the North, however, early Americans didn’t plant the orange sweet potatoes,” she said. “I also have a southern root and grew up eating pumpkin and sweet potato pies on Thanksgiving. I’m afraid there will be somebody, every single day, every single year, who will break the rules.” Actually, the two Thanksgiving favorites have more in common than not. They’re similar in color and taste, and came from European carrot pie. The recipes for pumpkin and sweet potato pies were included in the nation’s first cookbook, written in 1796 by Amelia Simmons. 8. What does the underlined word “They” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Answers. B. The two kinds of Thanksgiving pies. C. Americans. D. The pumpkins and sweet potatoes. 9. Which of the following best describes Elizabeth Arnold’s pumpkin pie? A. Healthier. B. Sweeter. C. Spicier. D. More popular. 10. What can be learned from paragraph 7? A. Thanksgiving pies are not a racial identity at all. B. Sweet potato pies are just loved by the Blacks. C. Early Americans didn’t grow sweet potatoes. D. Americans refuse to follow the Thanksgiving custom. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Stop Eating Unhealthy Thanksgiving Desserts B. The True Origin of Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Pies C. A Unique Recipe for Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Pies D. Divided Views on the Traditional Thanksgiving Desserts 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要围绕南瓜派和红薯派哪种是更好的感恩节甜点展开，不同人有不同看法。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“They are both round, orange and probably bad for your health, but which is the better Thanksgiving dessert: pumpkin or sweet potato pie? (它们都是圆形的，橙色的，而且可能对健康不利，但感恩节甜点中，南瓜派还是红薯派更好呢？)”可知，这里讨论的是两种感恩节派，所以“They”指的是感恩节的两种派，南瓜派和红薯派。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“ “Potato pie is sweeter, made with white and brown sugar,” she said. “Pumpkin pie is less sweet and spicier. But our sweet potato pie sells better.””(“红薯派更甜，用的是白砂糖和红糖，”她说，“南瓜派则不太甜，而且香料味更浓。不过我们的红薯派卖得更好。” )”可知，Elizabeth Arnold提到她店里的南瓜派不太甜且香料味更浓。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第七段“Both sweet potatoes and pumpkins were produced in the South. In the North, however, early Americans didn’t plant the orange sweet potatoes,” she said. ( “红薯和南瓜都在南方种植，但在北方，早期的美国人并没有种植橙色红薯，”她说。)”可知，早期的美国人并没有种植橙色红薯，说明感恩节派并非完全是一种种族身份的标志。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Thanksgiving is a time of year when we get together with our families and celebrate peace over a giant feast including roast turkey and pumpkin pie.(感恩节是一年中我们与家人团聚，享用包括烤火鸡和南瓜派在内的盛宴，庆祝和平的日子。)”可知，文章主要围绕南瓜派和红薯派哪种是更好的感恩节甜点展开，不同人有不同看法，D选项“Divided Views on the Traditional Thanksgiving Desserts (对传统感恩节甜点的不同看法)”符合文章主旨。 D Like a magician, Anita Antoninka poured some water over the so-called biocrusts that she had planted in the Arizona desert and within seconds, the seemingly lifeless soil at her feet turned into a blanket of dark-green moss (苔藓)! “These tiny biocrusts help create a protective living skin for Earth’s driest places. They absorb CO2 and produce O₂. They also enrich the dry soil by changing N₂ in the atmosphere into nutrients (营养) other larger plants can use. In turn, the larger plants’ roots grow deep in the ground to protect the soil,” explained Antoninka. “Only when this full cycle starts working does a true ecosystem exist.” However, in dry lands around the world, biocrusts are under threat from climate change and human activities. Biocrusts can regrow, but the process takes centuries. It’s why Antoninka from Northern Arizona University has begun an ambitious new experiment: She is growing biocrusts and transplanting them to some of the driest areas in the US. Luckily for her, she only needs tiny pieces of biocrusts, because any individual cell in biocrusts can regrow into a functioning mini ecosystem, as long as conditions are suitable. And suitable means unpleasant. Antoninka found that life in a greenhouse was too cushy for biocrusts and her experiments there failed. Instead, she found that outdoor places sheltered from extreme heat were enough to toughen up the tiny plants without killing them. Antoninka now grows biocrusts on materials so that they can be rolled up, transported, and planted in new locations. “For years, ecologists have been waiting for biocrusts to return on their own,” said Akasha Faist, an ecologist at New Mexico State University. “But now, efforts from Antoninka have begun to speed up this natural process.” 12. What can we know about biocrusts? A. They can grow into very large plants. B. They can regrow fast in the driest places. C. They are the basis of the ecosystem. D. They can help some chemical reactions. 13. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3? A. Add some background information. B. Summarize the previous paragraphs. C. Provide some advice for researchers. D. Introduce a new topic for discussion. 14. Which is closest in meaning to “cushy” underlined in paragraph 4? A. Hot. B. Tough. C. Strange. D. Easy. 15. What was Anita Antoninka’s breakthrough according to Akasha Faist? A. She shortened biocrusts’ regrowing time. B. She discovered biocrusts for the first time. C. She invented materials to speed up the process. D. She successfully grew biocrusts in greenhouses. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了生态学家Anita Antoninka为应对干旱地区生物结皮退化的危机，成功探索出在户外培育并移植生物结皮的方法，加速了其自然恢复过程。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中Antoninka所说的话“These tiny biocrusts help create a protective living skin for Earth’s driest places. They absorb CO2 and produce O₂. They also enrich the dry soil by changing N₂ in the atmosphere into nutrients (营养) other larger plants can use. In turn, the larger plants’ roots grow deep in the ground to protect the soil (这些微小的生物结皮为地球上最干旱的地区提供了保护性的“生命外皮”。它们能够吸收二氧化碳并产生氧气。它们还能通过将大气中的氮气转化为其他较大植物可以利用的营养物质，来丰富干燥的土壤。反过来，较大的植物的根会深入地下生长，以保护土壤。)”和“Only when this full cycle starts working does a true ecosystem exist. (只有当这个完整的循环开始运转时，一个真正的生态系统才会存在。)”可知，生物结皮是启动并维持这个循环的初始环节，表明它们是生态系统的基础。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“However, in dry lands around the world, biocrusts are under threat from climate change and human activities… but the process takes centuries. It’s why Antoninka… has begun an ambitious new experiment (然而，在世界各地的干旱地区，生物结皮正受到气候变化和人类活动的威胁……这个过程需要数个世纪。这就是为什么Antoninka……开始了一项雄心勃勃的新实验)”可知，该段以“However”开头，将话题从前两段生物结皮的神奇功能和生态作用，转向其面临的全球性威胁以及自然恢复的缓慢，接着指出这是Antoninka开展新实验的原因。这是为Antoninka的研究动机和意义提供了背景，可推知作者是想补充一些背景信息。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“her experiments there failed. Instead, she found that outdoor places sheltered from extreme heat were enough to toughen up the tiny plants without killing them. (她在那里的实验没有成功。然而，她发现那些远离酷热环境的户外场所足以让这些幼小的植物变得健壮，而且不会导致它们死亡。)”可知，温室环境不利于生物结皮生长，而有一定挑战性的户外环境反而更好。由此推知，画线词意为“轻松的，舒适的”，与Easy“舒适的”意思接近。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中Akasha Faist所说的话“For years, ecologists have been waiting for biocrusts to return on their own (多年来，生态学家们一直期待着生物结皮能够自行重新生长起来)”和“But now, efforts from Antoninka have begun to speed up this natural process. (但如今，Antoninka的努力已经开始加速这一自然过程。)”可知，Akasha Faist认为Anita Antoninka的突破在于缩短了生物结皮的再生时间。 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。 I was sitting on my sofa, feeling very tired.

I made a U-turn and offered to give her a ride. She thanked me and got in. After a few blocks, we passed under a bridge where several homeless people were living. She asked me to stop. I hesitated, thinking to myself, “Could this be where she lives?” Thankfully, it wasn’t. She rolled down her window and called out to them, “You all come by later. It’s spaghetti (意大利面) night tonight.” Then, we continued on, chatting. Her name was Ida. She worked at a grocery (杂货店) store and had missed her bus. She had grandchildren. She even shared her spaghetti recipe with me. It was getting dark, and I began to feel uneasy. We continued down unfamiliar streets until she finally pointed to an old house where she lived. Several young men stood around the entrance. One, with long hair, stared (盯) at me with an unusual smile. I felt nervous, but Ida seemed calm. I quickly helped her unload (卸货) and drove away. Soon, darkness fell. I got lost and had to rely on my GPS. Suddenly, I heard a motorcycle behind me. It was that young man with long hair! 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。 He kept following me, waving for me to stop. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The young man handed me my wallet through the window. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: He kept following me, waving for me to stop. My heart raced with fear. I tried to speed up, but he stayed close. In panic, I drove erratically as I reached down for my phone, which was in my wallet, to call for help — only to find my wallet gone! “The elderly woman must be the one who took it!” I thought angrily. Then I noticed a different wallet on the floor of my car. Meanwhile, the young man still followed, now holding up my wallet! Confused, I stopped the car. The young man handed me my wallet through the window. “Grandma sent me. She picked it up by mistake. She’s very sorry.” His smile now seemed kind, not frightening. I was speechless as I handed him his grandma’s wallet and then he went off in a hurry. I waved at the young man to stop as I quickly got a few dollars from my wallet. I wanted to reward him ever so slightly, but he had disappeared into the night. I never had a chance to say I was sorry for my thoughts. Just because he looked like he was on the “wild side”, I assumed he was a bad man. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一个炎热的傍晚帮助一位名叫Ida的老妇人搭车回家。到达Ida家时，作者因门口几个年轻男子而感到不安，尤其是一个长发男子奇怪的笑容令他紧张。作者帮Ida卸货后匆忙离开，却在黑暗中迷路，此时那个长发男子骑摩托车追了上来，作者顿时陷入恐惧，以为遭遇了危险。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者被追赶时的恐惧心理，发现钱包丢失后误以为是Ida偷的，却意外发现车上多了另一个钱包，而长发男子正举着自己的钱包在追赶。 ② 由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写长发男子归还钱包并解释是Ida误拿了钱包，作者意识到自己以貌取人的错误，想要回报却已来不及，最终反思不应仅凭外表判断他人。 2. 续写线索：被追赶感到恐惧 ——发现钱包丢失，误以为是老妇人偷的 ——发现另一个钱包 ——男子举着“我”的钱包 —— 男子归还钱包并解释是奶奶误拿 ——作者感到愧疚 ——反思以貌取人的错误 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ① 注意到：notice/ spot ② 消失：disappear/vanish 情绪类 ①惊恐地 ：with fear/in terror ② 愤怒地：angrily/furiously 【点睛】【高分句型1】In panic, I drove erratically as I reached down for my phone, which was in my wallet, to call for help — only to find my wallet gone!
