4 Bullet Train Journeys across China
China is blazing a new future with its record-breaking bullet trains. These trains make crossing the country’s huge landmass accessible on a shorter visit.
Silk Road
Time:8 hours| Distance:690 miles
Spanning Gansu’s northwest deserts, this high-speed journey traces ancient camel trails once used to trade silk and philosophy. Today, you can make the trip in days, exploring grand Buddha statues, night markets, temples, and sweeping landscapes. From Lanzhou, the train sails through the Hexi Corridor, passing Zhangye and Jiayuguan (Great Wall’s western end) — before reaching Dunhuang, home to giant dunes and the Mogao Caves, a priceless Buddhist art treasury.
Tibetan Plateau
Time: 20 hours| Distance:1,215 miles
The Qinghai-Tibet Railway, technically the only non-high-speed train here, is an engineering wonder built on permafrost (冻土) across extreme terrain. Departing Xining, this overnight journey passes Qinghai Lake — China’ s largest — before crossing the Tibetan Plateau into the Himalayas, arriving next morning in Lhasa.
Wintery Northeast
Time: 4.5 hours| Distance: 771 miles
This high-speed route shoots northeast from Beijing through the vast plains of Dongbei. You’ ll pass through Shenyang before reaching Harbin, a city with onion-domed churches, frozen rivers, and a mix of cultures including Chinese, Russian, Mongolian, etc. Time your journey for January/ February to catch the Harbin Ice and Snow Festival, where ice palaces glow with neon.
Skyscrapers to Coast
Time:4 hours| Distance:351 miles
Board a bullet train in Hong Kong coastward. The route zips past fishing villages and river estuaries to Xiamen — a port city with 1850s architecture and sea views. Detour inland to explore Fujian’ s Tulou, a UNESCO site of circular Hakka clan houses made of packed earth and timber, some over 700 years old.
1. What can you do in Silk Road?
A. Do some silk trade. B. Visit Buddhist temples.
C. Explore ancient markets. D. View the whole Great Wall.
2. Which journey covers the longest distance?
A. Silk Road. B. Tibetan Plateau.
C. Wintery Northeast. D. Skyscrapers to Coast.

B
I was standing in line at the grocery store, scrolling through my phone, impatient to get home after a long day of teaching. Ahead of me stood an elderly man in a faded grey coat. His hands shook slightly as he counted out coins onto the counter.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered to the cashier, his voice thin and shaky. “I thought I had enough.”
The cashier, a young woman who looked equally tired, sighed. “You’re short by five dollars, sir. Do you want to put something back?”
People behind me became impatient. The old man looked at his things: a carton of milk, a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs, and a small box of chocolate cookies. He slowly reached for the cookies. “I... I don’t need these. They were for my grandson, but...”
I could see how embarrassed he was. Without thinking twice, I walked forward and paid with my card. “I’ll pay for it,” I said. “Please keep the cookies.”
The man froze. He looked at me, his watery blue eyes wide with shock. “No, Miss, I couldn’t...”
“It’s fine,” I smiled, hoping to ease his worry. “Consider it a gift for your grandson.”
He tried to speak but choked up. He simply nodded, took his bag, and waited for me outside. When I walked out, he grabbed my hand. “You don’t know what this means. My pension (养老金) hasn’t arrived yet, and tomorrow is his birthday. Thank you.”
A week later, I was back at the same store. As I walked down the passage, a little boy ran up to me, holding a familiar box of chocolate cookies. Behind him was the old man, smiling happily. “He wanted to share one with you,” the man said.
That chocolate cookie tasted better than any fancy dessert I’d ever had. It tasted like connection. It tasted like hope.
4. Why did the author want to get home quickly?
A. She hated waiting in line. B. She was eager to meet her grandson.
C. She was tired after work. D. She needed to prepare for tomorrow’s class.
5. What made the old man choose to put the cookies back?
A. His own preference. B. The cashier’s advice.
C. The cookies’ high price. D. Lack of money.
6. How did the old man feel when the author paid for the cookies?
A. Shocked and upset. B. Amazed and moved.
C. Doubtful and embarrassed. D. Indifferent and calm.
7. What message does the text mainly want to convey?
A. Patience in public is a virtue. B. Family ties are the most valuable.
C. Kindness can lead to friendliness. D. Elderly people need more care.
C
Beneath the ocean’s surface lies a truly secret world of light. While bioluminescence — the ability of living things to produce their own light — has long interested scientists, a lesser-known phenomenon called biofluorescence (生物荧光) is now stealing the spotlight.
Biofluorescence occurs when sea animals absorb light at one wavelength and send it out at another, creating vivid lights in colors like green, red, or orange. Unlike bioluminescence, which produces light through chemical reactions, biofluorescence depends on absorbing light from outside to glow. This natural light show is not just for beauty; it serves critical survival functions.
In the coral reefs of the Pacific, researchers observed corals sending out green light under blue light. “It’s a dance of partnership guided by light,” explains marine biologist Dr. Kenji Nakamura. Without this interaction, coral bleaching — a major threat to coral ecosystems — would speed up.
Another wonder comes from the Hawaiian bobtail squid (短尾乌贼). When threatened by hunters, it releases a cloud of bio-fluorescent ink. The sudden burst of light confuses attackers, buying the squid precious seconds to escape. Dr. Emily Carter, who led the study, notes, “This is evolution’s version of a smoke screen — but far more shining.”
The discovery of GFP — green fluorescent protein (绿色荧光蛋白) — in jellyfish in 1962 revolutionized science. Researchers realized GFP could be used to mark specific cells, making invisible processes visible. Today, it lights up nerve cells in brain studies, helping map out connections in diseases like Alzheimer’s. “GFP is a window into the brain’s hidden workings,” says brain scientist Dr. Maria Gonzalez.
Scientists are now copying biofluorescence to develop sustainable technologies. For example, fluorescent proteins inspire energy-efficient LED lighting, and bio-fluorescent markers could improve medical imaging. “Nature’s designs are blueprints for human innovation,” says materials scientist Dr. Raj Patel.
Yet mysteries remain. Over 200 species of bio-fluorescent fish were recently discovered, their purposes still unclear. As submarines dive deeper, each expedition reveals new players in this beautiful underwater light show, proving that the ocean’s depths still guard ancient secrets.
8. How is biofluorescence different from bioluminescence?
A. It creates dark ink for defense. B. It cures serious illnesses.
C. It relies on chemical changes. D. It needs outside light.
9. What can be known from the examples in paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. They involve light-based survival strategies.
B. They use same natural glowing substances.
C. They show attackers are often confused by bright light.
D. They explain how light affects whole ocean ecosystems.
10. Which field makes use of GFP?
A. Energy and food production. B. Brain and medical research.
C. Deep-sea biological survey. D. New species observation work.
11. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. New fish species are easy to find. B. Old secrets have been explained.
C. All sea creatures can glow brightly. D. More ocean findings lie ahead.
D
The digital age has revolutionized the way people communicate. With smartphones and social media, we can connect with others anytime and anywhere. However, this convenience has come at a cost: many people are losing the ability to communicate face‑to‑face. This shift has raised concerns about the quality of interpersonal relationships in modern society.
Online communication is convenient but shallow. Text messages and emojis cannot fully convey emotions, tone, or body language. A joke may be misunderstood, and a sincere message may seem cold. Over time, relying too much on online communication can make people socially awkward. They may feel nervous or uncomfortable when talking to others in person, lacking eye contact, facial expressions, and proper gestures.
Face‑to‑face communication, by contrast, is deep and meaningful. It allows us to read nonverbal cues, build trust, and understand others’ true feelings. It strengthens relationships and creates a sense of connection. Whether in family, friendship, or work, face‑to‑face interaction is irreplaceable. Studies show that people who communicate more in person have happier and more stable relationships.
To improve interpersonal skills, we should balance online and offline communication. Use digital tools to stay in touch, but make time for face‑to‑face meetings. Practice active listening, maintain eye contact, and express yourself clearly. In a world where digital communication dominates, mastering face‑to‑face skills is more important than ever.
12. What problem does the digital age bring?
A. No way to communicate remotely.
B. Loss of face‑to‑face communication ability.
C. Too many in‑person meetings.
D. Misuse of social media.
13. Why is online communication shallow?
A. It is not convenient.
B. It lacks emotional cues.
C. It is too slow.
D. It requires body language.
14. What is an advantage of face‑to‑face communication?
A. It saves time.
B. It avoids misunderstandings.
C. It builds stronger relationships.
D. It needs no skills.
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Convenience of Digital Communication
B. The Importance of Face‑to‑Face Communication
C. How to Improve Online Chatting Skills
D. The Disadvantages of Social Media

How do you choose a career? For many people, it’s a big and scary question. Deciding on the right career path is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in your life. _____16_____ Don’t worry. Here is a practical guide on how to choose a career path.
List your skills.
No matter who you are, I know there are plenty of things that you do well in. Make a list of every single one that comes to mind. What subjects were you good at in school? What talents do people praise you for? _____17_____ Don’t leave out any skill, even if you don’t think it qualifies as a career skill. You never know how your unique set of strengths could transfer to a job.
Identify your passions.
Passion isn’t just a pipe dream. _____18_____ No one wants to do work that makes them feel like a zombie or a robot without thinking! Finding your passion doesn’t mean the work will always be easy, but it does mean you’ll be fulfilled while doing it. Make a list of the activities that bring you to life, energize you, inspire you, and make you lose track of time.
_____19_____
The next factor we need to consider is mission. Who are the people you most want to help? What problems do you want to solve? What causes inspire or concern you? How have you been able to help people in ways that were meaningful to you? These are important questions to ask yourself, because without having a deeper purpose or why behind your work, it will be hard to stay with it in the long term.
Do some research.
_____20_____ Here is where you could find out the minimum requirements for each profession educationally, physically and mentally. As you continue your research, prioritize jobs that are in line with your aspirations and dismiss ones that clash or have little in common with your strong attributes.
A. Address your concerns.
B. Figure out your motivation.
C. However, you need to achieve it by every means.
D. These are all clues that tell you what your strengths are.
E. Detailed survey about the listed careers is of great importance.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was exam time at Marc’s school. Every day, their teachers gave them loads of homework and told them the test was very important and that they ought to spare no effort to perform well in it. Everyone followed the teachers’ instructions and made preparations for it, except Marc. He just turned a deaf ear to it. He thought he would rather play football than study.
His mum and dad repeated the importance of revision for exams over and over again. They told him that he should be working hard preparing for the test. But the weather was sunny and he thought he had better things to do.
“Shall we go to the park?” he said to his friend Huck one afternoon. “It’s a nice day. We could play football and kick around.” Huck shook his head. “I’m supposed to review my lessons,” he said. “I’m going home to do some math.”
Marc was amazed. “You’d rather do math than play football?”
“Math is important. Besides, my mum says she will buy me a mountain bike if I do well in the math exam.”
“That’s crazy,” said Marc. Huck shrugged (耸肩) and replied, “Wait until I beat you in the test and you will watch me riding past on my mountain bike!”
“You won’t beat me,” said Marc.
“Oh yes, I will.”
“Oh no, you won’t! That will never happen. Just wait and see!”
For the first time ever, Marc wanted to perform well. He couldn’t bear it if his friend came top and he did badly. So when he got home, he opened his math book. But there was so much to do. All of a sudden, he felt like he’d forgotten everything he had learned that year! He didn’t know where to start. When his sister Lily came in, he was sitting expressionlessly by the desk, just staring out of the window.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
“You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong?” she said.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence.

I was standing in line at the grocery store, scrolling through my phone, impatient to get home after a long day of teaching. Ahead of me stood an elderly man in a faded grey coat. His hands shook slightly as he counted out coins onto the counter.
“I’m sorry,” he whispered to the cashier, his voice thin and shaky. “I thought I had enough.”
The cashier, a young woman who looked equally tired, sighed. “You’re short by five dollars, sir. Do you want to put something back?”
People behind me became impatient. The old man looked at his things: a carton of milk, a loaf of bread, a dozen eggs, and a small box of chocolate cookies. He slowly reached for the cookies. “I... I don’t need these. They were for my grandson, but...”
I could see how embarrassed he was. Without thinking twice, I walked forward and paid with my card. “I’ll pay for it,” I said. “Please keep the cookies.”
The man froze. He looked at me, his watery blue eyes wide with shock. “No, Miss, I couldn’t...”
“It’s fine,” I smiled, hoping to ease his worry. “Consider it a gift for your grandson.”
He tried to speak but choked up. He simply nodded, took his bag, and waited for me outside. When I walked out, he grabbed my hand. “You don’t know what this means. My pension (养老金) hasn’t arrived yet, and tomorrow is his birthday. Thank you.”
A week later, I was back at the same store. As I walked down the passage, a little boy ran up to me, holding a familiar box of chocolate cookies. Behind him was the old man, smiling happily. “He wanted to share one with you,” the man said.
That chocolate cookie tasted better than any fancy dessert I’d ever had. It tasted like connection. It tasted like hope.

Beneath the ocean’s surface lies a truly secret world of light. While bioluminescence — the ability of living things to produce their own light — has long interested scientists, a lesser-known phenomenon called biofluorescence (生物荧光) is now stealing the spotlight.
Biofluorescence occurs when sea animals absorb light at one wavelength and send it out at another, creating vivid lights in colors like green, red, or orange. Unlike bioluminescence, which produces light through chemical reactions, biofluorescence depends on absorbing light from outside to glow. This natural light show is not just for beauty; it serves critical survival functions.
In the coral reefs of the Pacific, researchers observed corals sending out green light under blue light. “It’s a dance of partnership guided by light,” explains marine biologist Dr. Kenji Nakamura. Without this interaction, coral bleaching — a major threat to coral ecosystems — would speed up.
Another wonder comes from the Hawaiian bobtail squid (短尾乌贼). When threatened by hunters, it releases a cloud of bio-fluorescent ink. The sudden burst of light confuses attackers, buying the squid precious seconds to escape. Dr. Emily Carter, who led the study, notes, “This is evolution’s version of a smoke screen — but far more shining.”
The discovery of GFP — green fluorescent protein (绿色荧光蛋白) — in jellyfish in 1962 revolutionized science. Researchers realized GFP could be used to mark specific cells, making invisible processes visible. Today, it lights up nerve cells in brain studies, helping map out connections in diseases like Alzheimer’s. “GFP is a window into the brain’s hidden workings,” says brain scientist Dr. Maria Gonzalez.
Scientists are now copying biofluorescence to develop sustainable technologies. For example, fluorescent proteins inspire energy-efficient LED lighting, and bio-fluorescent markers could improve medical imaging. “Nature’s designs are blueprints for human innovation,” says materials scientist Dr. Raj Patel.
Yet mysteries remain. Over 200 species of bio-fluorescent fish were recently discovered, their purposes still unclear. As submarines dive deeper, each expedition reveals new players in this beautiful underwater light show, proving that the ocean’s depths still guard ancient secrets.
8. How is biofluorescence different from bioluminescence?
A. It creates dark ink for defense. B. It cures serious illnesses.
C. It relies on chemical changes. D. It needs outside light.
9. What can be known from the examples in paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. They involve light-based survival strategies.
B. They use same natural glowing substances.
C. They show attackers are often confused by bright light.
D. They explain how light affects whole ocean ecosystems.
10. Which field makes use of GFP?
A. Energy and food production. B. Brain and medical research.
C. Deep-sea biological survey. D. New species observation work.
11. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. New fish species are easy to find. B. Old secrets have been explained.
C. All sea creatures can glow brightly. D. More ocean findings lie ahead.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】文章介绍海洋生物荧光的原理、作用、科研价值及未解之谜。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Unlike bioluminescence, which produces light through chemical reactions, biofluorescence depends on absorbing light from outside to glow.(与通过化学反应发光的生物发光不同,生物荧光依靠吸收外界光线发光。)”可知,生物荧光需要外界光线。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Without this interaction, coral bleaching — a major threat to coral ecosystems — would speed up.(没有这种光影互动,珊瑚生态系统中的一大威胁——珊瑚白化问题——会加剧)”和第四段中“The sudden burst of light confuses attackers, buying the squid precious seconds to escape.(突然迸发的光迷惑攻击者,为乌贼争取宝贵的几秒钟时间来逃跑。)”可知,两个例子均是生物利用光线实现生存自保的策略。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“The discovery of GFP — green fluorescent protein (绿色荧光蛋白) — in jellyfish in 1962 revolutionized science. (1962年从水母中发现的绿色荧光蛋白(GFP)彻底改变了科学界。)”和“Today, it lights up nerve cells in brain studies, helping map out connections in diseases like Alzheimer’s.(如今它在大脑研究中用于照亮神经细胞,帮助绘制阿尔茨海默病等疾病中的神经连接)”可知,绿色荧光蛋白应用于大脑与医学研究领域。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As submarines dive deeper, each expedition reveals new players in this beautiful underwater light show, proving that the ocean’s depths still guard ancient secrets.(随着潜艇潜得越来越深,每次探险都会在这场美丽的水下光秀中展示新的参与者,证明海洋的深处仍然守护着古老的秘密。)”可知,随着未来继续找到新的生物荧光物种,未来还会有更多海洋新发现。

The digital age has revolutionized the way people communicate. With smartphones and social media, we can connect with others anytime and anywhere. However, this convenience has come at a cost: many people are losing the ability to communicate face‑to‑face. This shift has raised concerns about the quality of interpersonal relationships in modern society.
Online communication is convenient but shallow. Text messages and emojis cannot fully convey emotions, tone, or body language. A joke may be misunderstood, and a sincere message may seem cold. Over time, relying too much on online communication can make people socially awkward. They may feel nervous or uncomfortable when talking to others in person, lacking eye contact, facial expressions, and proper gestures.
Face‑to‑face communication, by contrast, is deep and meaningful. It allows us to read nonverbal cues, build trust, and understand others’ true feelings. It strengthens relationships and creates a sense of connection. Whether in family, friendship, or work, face‑to‑face interaction is irreplaceable. Studies show that people who communicate more in person have happier and more stable relationships.
To improve interpersonal skills, we should balance online and offline communication. Use digital tools to stay in touch, but make time for face‑to‑face meetings. Practice active listening, maintain eye contact, and express yourself clearly. In a world where digital communication dominates, mastering face‑to‑face skills is more important than ever.
12. What problem does the digital age bring?
A. No way to communicate remotely.
B. Loss of face‑to‑face communication ability.
C. Too many in‑person meetings.
D. Misuse of social media.
13. Why is online communication shallow?
A. It is not convenient.
B. It lacks emotional cues.
C. It is too slow.
D. It requires body language.
14. What is an advantage of face‑to‑face communication?
A. It saves time.
B. It avoids misunderstandings.
C. It builds stronger relationships.
D. It needs no skills.
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Convenience of Digital Communication
B. The Importance of Face‑to‑Face Communication
C. How to Improve Online Chatting Skills
D. The Disadvantages of Social Media
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. B
【解析】

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Online communication is convenient but shallow. Text messages and emojis cannot fully convey emotions, tone, or body language. (在线交流虽然便捷,但却流于表面。文字信息和表情符号无法完全传达情感、语调或肢体语言。)”可知,在线交流之所以浅薄是因为缺乏情感线索。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“It strengthens relationships and creates a sense of connection. (它加强了关系并创造了联系感。)”可知,面对面交流的一个优势是建立更牢固的关系。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,文章第一段引出人们在数字时代逐渐丧失面对面交流能力的问题;第二、三段对比分析了线上交流的肤浅与面对面交流的深刻意义;第四段总结并呼吁人们在数字时代要平衡交流方式,重视并掌握面对面交流的技巧,尤其根据最后一句“In a world where digital communication dominates, mastering face‑to‑face skills is more important than ever. (在一个数字通信占据主导地位的世界里,掌握面对面交流的技能比以往任何时候都更加重要。)”可知,全文围绕数字时代面对面交流的重要性展开,B选项“The Importance of Face‑to‑Face Communication (面对面交流的重要性)”最适合作为文章标题。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was exam time at Marc’s school. Every day, their teachers gave them loads of homework and told them the test was very important and that they ought to spare no effort to perform well in it. Everyone followed the teachers’ instructions and made preparations for it, except Marc. He just turned a deaf ear to it. He thought he would rather play football than study.
His mum and dad repeated the importance of revision for exams over and over again. They told him that he should be working hard preparing for the test. But the weather was sunny and he thought he had better things to do.
“Shall we go to the park?” he said to his friend Huck one afternoon. “It’s a nice day. We could play football and kick around.” Huck shook his head. “I’m supposed to review my lessons,” he said. “I’m going home to do some math.”
Marc was amazed. “You’d rather do math than play football?”
“Math is important. Besides, my mum says she will buy me a mountain bike if I do well in the math exam.”
“That’s crazy,” said Marc. Huck shrugged (耸肩) and replied, “Wait until I beat you in the test and you will watch me riding past on my mountain bike!”
“You won’t beat me,” said Marc.
“Oh yes, I will.”
“Oh no, you won’t! That will never happen. Just wait and see!”
For the first time ever, Marc wanted to perform well. He couldn’t bear it if his friend came top and he did badly. So when he got home, he opened his math book. But there was so much to do. All of a sudden, he felt like he’d forgotten everything he had learned that year! He didn’t know where to start. When his sister Lily came in, he was sitting expressionlessly by the desk, just staring out of the window.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
“You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong?” she said.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】“You don’t look happy, Marc. What’s wrong?” she said. Explaining what had happened, especially the bet between him and Huck, he told Lily his decision. He wanted to make careful preparations for the exam, but ran into difficulties with math. He was at a loss what to do next. “Don’t worry! I’ll help you. Just be confident!” replied Lily. The following days, Marc worked very hard and made great progress. Gradually, his confidence grew and he could solve math problems with ease, with the instructions appearing in his brain as if the teacher was standing at his side .
On the day of the exam, Marc went to school with great confidence. He met Huck in the classroom, who looked delighted as if he was bound to win. But Marc didn’t care. When the exam began, Marc answered all the questions as best as he could. Several days later, the result came out. It turned out that Marc did much better than Huck. “Well done,” said Mom. “We could go to see a movie to celebrate, and you can choose one.” “I think Lily should choose,” said Marc. “I would never have gained such a great achievement without her help and encouragement .”
【解析】
【导语】文章以考试为线索。马上要考试了,同学们都积极努力地备考,除了贪玩的Marc。一天下午,Marc邀请好友Huck去踢足球,Huck拒绝了,他要认真学习,考出好成绩,这样妈妈会送给他一辆山地自行车。而且Huck还说自己一定会比Marc考得好。这让Marc备受刺激,他决心认真准备考试,但他感觉到很困难。于是在姐姐的帮助下,Marc积极准备考试,考出了好成绩。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“她说:‘Marc,你看起来不开心。怎么了?’”可知,本段可以写Marc会告诉姐姐Lily发生了什么事,以及自己遇到的困难,姐姐在得知Marc的困难之后应该会施以援手,帮助Marc复习功课,准备考试。在姐姐的帮助和自己的努力下,Mare在数学上应是有了很大的进步。
②由第二段首句内容“考试那天,Marc自信满满地去了学校。”可知,本段可以写考试前、考试中以及考试后发生的事情。比如考试前Marc和Huck各自的状态,考试期间Marc的表现,以及考试成绩出来后,Marc取得了非常优异的成绩和Huck或Marc家人对此的反应等。
2.续写线索:Lily询问Marc→Marc讲述了自己遇到的困难→Lily帮助Marc复习→Marc成功地通过考试,且比Huck考得高→妈妈想要奖励Marc→Marc觉得奖励应该给Lily。
3.词汇激活:
行为类:
选择:choose/make a choice/make an option
增加了信心:grow confidence/build up confidence/double confidence
解决:solve/work out/tackle
情绪类:
充满信心:be confident/be full of confidence
高兴的:delighted/pleased/cheerful/be overcome with delight
感到困惑:be at a loss/be confused/be confounded
