第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
It’s not possible to stay together with loved ones all the time. Sometimes family members have to be far away from each other. During that time they might face something terrible. Although we know what they are suffering, being far away makes it harder to help and comfort (安慰) loved ones. There is no use worrying a lot about them. Keeping a positive attitude of support is more helpful than getting into worrying about the person. I think it is what I can do to help my loved ones.
My daughter has been working full-time during summer about 10 hours a day. She has to study hard for a big entrance exam. At first, like most people, I wanted to try to solve the problems and analyse (分析) the situation, Was there a better way of time management Was there a better way of studying for this test However, that was not always helpful. Sometimes, it even gave more pressure to her. Sometimes it might sound like there was something wrong to fix. However, it was just tiring at the end of the day. What would be the kind thing to do in this situation. It was hard to read someone’s mind. I decided to just chat with her online and to send a hug emoji (表情) this time. It seemed more suitable than talking about solutions. Giving space can also be an act of help, comfort and kindness.
It was a fun and meaningful experiment to actively think about kind things to do rather than let it happen naturally. I’ve realized it and I’m grateful for this chance to share online. Give it a try too and you’ll enjoy sweetness.

Team China’s teenage freeski superstar Gu Ailing had halfpipe gold wrapped up by her second run at Genting Snow Park in Zhangjiakou. “I’ve never taken a victory lap before in my entire life, but this time I felt like I finally deserve it,” Gu told reporters after becoming the first athlete to win Olympic medals in all three freeski events. Her big victory at the 2021 X Games in Aspen, Colorado, where she won Big Air, halfpipe and slopestyle golds, increased the expectation level for her Olympic performance in Beijing.
Born in California to a Chinese mother, Gu began competing for China when she was 15 in 2019, stating her aim to inspire millions of young people during the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing and promote the sport she loves. Since then, the outstanding part-time model and grade-A student has been busy gaining records, titles and firsts. All the while her superstar status has snowballed, as evidenced by her millions of followers on social media.
The 18-year-old also clearly feels she has achieved much away from the sporting arena at Beijing 2022 and she has become the inspiration for many. “After reading hundreds of messages that I get every day from young girls saying that they go sking because of me and they want to keep going or they, you know, broke their boundaries in some other way and felt inspired by something that I said, I feel all those little things are immensely rewarding.”
When asked about her future plan, she had no idea whether she would continue to compete in freestyle skiing. “I’m going to do whatever feels right, and hopefully I’ll be able to create some kind of positive change out of any position that I'm in,” said Gu.
4. Gu was the first athlete to________.
A. take a victory lap in the Olympics B. gain three golds at the 2021 X Games
C. win three golds in the Olympic events D. get Olympic medals in three freeski events
5. What do we know about Gu
A She was born in China. B. She did well in different fields.
C. Her superstar status badly affected her life. D. Her aim was to promote the Winter Olympics.
6. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A. Gu has broken her boundaries. B. Gu has achieved a lot in sking.
C. Gu has inspired many young girls. D. Gu has become famous worldwide.
7. What can be the best title for the text
A. Do Whatever You Feel Right B. Skiing Changes People’s Lives
C. Gu, an Inspiring Olympic History Maker D. Skiing, the Highlight of the Winter Olympics
C
When I was young, I wondered why neighborhoods didn’t plant fruit trees to build community Later, my husband and I decided the right way to answer this question was to do it ourselves, so we began to fill our front yard with fruit trees, such as strawberries, pomegranates (石榴) and oranges.
Every crop (庄稼) brought us closer to neighbors and strangers. The food was an excuse to communicate. Kids in the neighborhood, including our sons, learned patience and gentle timing. When we had extra, we’d share it. Then, we received a powerful lesson:a gift hidden as a loss. Our first-ever crop of pomegranates had ripened (成熟), but at harvest (丰收), they were all gone, stolen in the middle of the night.
We were shocked, sad and angry. One of my friends had fun suggesting we post a sign to curse (诅咒) thieves who stole our fruit.
And suddenly, the lesson was clear. We did need a sign, but our sign would encourage sharing and community. Last fall, we had a larger crop of pomegranates. We posted a sign that read, “If you’d like one, please knock and introduce yourself and we’d be happy to cut one off the tree for you. Cutting saves the branches (枝条) and is good for future growth so we can continue to share with new friends like you. Thanks, the Green Family.” Out of eight pieces of fruit, one pomegranate was taken, and most others gifted to new friends.
This year, we planted three new fruit trees — a peach, a pear and a plum. Today, I am happy to role model generosity (慷慨,大方) for my young sons and to have been blessed (祈福) with the chance to provide an edible (可食的) front yard (院子) for others.
8. What was the author and her husband’s decision
A To plant fruit trees in their front yard.
B. To invite their neighbors to share fruits.
C. To help their neighbors by planting fruit trees.
D. To find the right answer to their neighbor’s question.
9. In the author’s opinion, fruit trees in her yard ________.
A. provided food for the whole family
B. satisfied the needs of her neighbors
C. made her family lead a happier life
D. offered a chance to get close to others
10. We learn from the fourth paragraph that the author’s sign ________.
A. was made at the request of her friends
B. was quite effective in stopping thieves
C. didn’t bring the author any new friends
D. contained information about the Green Family
11. What message does the author want to express by telling the story
A. Prevention is better than cure.
B. Learning to share is important.
C. Never judge a book by its cover.
D. Good fences make good neighbors.
D
High school is difficult for everyone. You are going through an awkward time and you may either fit in right away or feel like a complete outcast. But no matter how well you may fit in (or not), joining a club will be good for you in the short term and long term.
Joining a club is a great way to meet new people, especially if you are new to the school. Joining a club forces you to communicate with people who have similar interests as you. Even if you are the shyest and quietest person, you are sure to develop a relationship with at least one person in the club that you decide to join. Speaking from personal experience, I have met some of my best friends from my after-school activities and had many new doors open to me.
Another really nice thing about joining a club is that doing activities looks good on college applications (申请). Being known as outgoing is a highly valued trait (特质); it shows that you are willing to put yourself out there, be determined (意志坚定的), and best of all try new things. Another nice thing is that (depending on the activity) it could help you develop skills that you could use during a college interview.
Productivity is something that teens seem to continuously have a problem with. Most teens go to school and then come home and spend the rest of the day in front of the television or phone, but activities prohibit (阻止) this. Teens are also very easy to influence and if they fall into the wrong group of people they could fall into consequences such as problems with the law. Clubs are a great place to spend time and be with good people who you can fall back on if you need them.
Maybe the most important reason why you should join a club is the long-term benefit (益处) it brings. The classroom isn’t the only learning environment in a school. Things such as meeting and speaking to new people, keeping an eye on the time, and being organized are things you will use every single day of your life.
12. What might the underlined word “outcast” in paragraph 1 mean
A. A person who is popular. B. A person who is not smart.
C. A person who is confident. D. A person who is not accepted.
13. What do colleges think highly of according to the text
A. The number of clubs you have joined.
B. The strong relationships you have built.
C. The bright personality you have developed.
D. The skills you have learned while forming a club.
14. What benefit of joining a club is talked about in paragraph 4
A. Increasing knowledge. B. Learning teamworking skills.
C. Improving your fitness level. D. Making good use of your time.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. What club should you join B. How to join a club you like
C. Why should you join a club D. Should you join a second club
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10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。
I have a drawer full of letters to Santa. Each year my children would write up their Christmas wish lists. They were polite requests for the latest game or toy. As the children got older, they would give Santa some hints(提示)on where to buy their presents. ____16____
Those letters taught my children a valuable lesson about writing: It has a purpose. Sometimes our purpose is to achieve something;other times it may be to entertain, inform, or persuade. ____17____ And when writing doesn’t seem to have any purpose or get any kind of meaningful response, then it can be hard to get excited about doing it.
Christmas is a great time of year for children to communicate with others through writing. When children write for real audiences and real purposes, they can learn to choose their words accordingly. ____18____ You write “Dear Santa” because you don’t know him personally and you want to show him respect.
____19____ Texting, online messaging, live chats while playing video games all mean that they are constantly producing written messages. However, because they are usually writing to family and friends, they use informal language most of the time.
There is nothing wrong with this kind of writing. It suits the audience and the purpose and gets the job done. ____20____ This type of writing won’t be rewarded by the school examiner, nor by a future employer or a potential client. The very best communicators are those who know how to adjust their language to match their audience.
A. It isn’t that these young people can’t write.
B. But it is always purposeful-or at least it should be.
C. The age of pen-and-paper letter writing may have passed.
D. As a result, each year they received something they wanted.
E. You write “Hi Nanna and Pop” because you are close to them.
F. As technology develops, young people are writing more than they ever have.
G. But if this is the only kind of writing young people do, it will cause problems.
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)

阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Research has shown that two-thirds of human conversation is taken up not with discussion of the cultural or political problems of the day not heated debates about films we’ve just seen or books we’ve just finished reading, but plain and simple ____21____.
Language is our greatest treasure as a species (物种,品种), and what do we ____22____ do with it We gossip about others’ behavior and private lives, such as who’s doing what with whom, who’s in and who’s out — and why; how to deal with difficult ____23____ situations involving children, lovers and colleagues.
So why are we keen on gossiping Are we just natural ____24____of both time and words Or do we talk a lot about nothing in particular simply to avoid facing up to the really important issues of life It’s not the case according to Professor Robin Dunbar. In fact, in his latest book, Grooming, Gossip and the Evolution of Language, the psychologist says gossip is one of these really ____25____ issues.
Dunbar ____26____the traditional view that language was developed by the men at the early stage of social development in order to organize their manly hunting activities more effectively, or even to promote the exchange of poetic stories about their origins and the supernatural (超自然现象). Instead he suggests that language evolved among women. We don’t spend two-thirds of our time gossiping just because we can talk, argues Dunbar – ____27____ , he goes on to say, language evolved specifically to allow us to gossip.
Dunbar arrived at his cheery theory by studying the ____28____of the higher primates (灵长类动物) like monkeys. By means of grooming — cleaning the fur by brushing it, monkeys form groups with other individuals on whom they can rely for support in the event of some kind of conflict within the group or ____29____ from outside it.
As we human beings evolve from a particular branch of the primate family, Dunbar _____30_____ that at one time in our history we did much the same. Grouping together made sense because the bigger the group, the greater the _____31_____ it provided; on the other hand, the bigger the group, the greater the stresses of living close to others. Grooming helped to _____32_____the pressure and calm everybody down.
But as the groups got bigger and bigger, the amount of time spent in grooming activities also had to be _____33_____ to maintain its effectiveness. Clearly, a more _____34_____ kind of grooming was needed, and thus language evolved as a kind of vocal (有声的) grooming which allowed humans to develop relationship with ever-larger groups by exchanging information over a wider network of individuals than would be possible by one-to-one _____35_____ contact.
21. A. claim B. description C. gossip D. language
22. A. finally B. habitually C. dependently D. generally
23. A. social B. political C. historical D. cultural
24. A. interviewers B. masters C. users D. wasters
25. A. important B. effective C. limited D. difficult
26. A. maintains B. rejects C. has D. holds
27. A. for example B. in addition C. on the contrary D. as a result
28. A. sense B. appearance C. emotion D. behavior
29. A. attack B. contact C. help D. peace
30. A. commits B. develops C. concludes D. benefits
31 A. challenge B. responsibility C. leadership D. protection
32. A. measure B. show C. maintain D. ease
33. A. saved B. extended C. shared D. gained
34. A. common B. efficient C. scientific D. thoughtful
35. A. indirect B. daily C. physical D. secret

I ___36___ (edit) a photo caption when I saw the phrase “Smith said his kids favorite part of the event was the snow cone truck.” I walked over to ___37___ student photographer who wrote the caption and asked whether Mr. Smith had one child or many.
The photographer wanted to know why. The word “kid” needed an apostrophe, I replied, and where I put that punctuation mark would change the size of Mr. Smith’s family.
“Wow,” the photographer said. “One punctuation mark can make a big ___38___(differ).”
This exchange isn’t made up. And the fact that it happened in the same month as National Punctuation Day—which is Sept. 24— ___39___(emphasize) the importance of proper use of punctuation.
For National Punctuation Day, my goal is ___40___ (promote) proper use of commas, semicolons and so on ___41___ my good example. I will use punctuation in all text ___42___ (message), never leaving out periods on Twitter.
Jeff Rubin, who founded National Punctuation Day in 2004, wrote that he started National Punctuation Day because of concern about ___43___(decline) language skills. He noted that almost 60 percent of incoming college freshmen needed remedial(补救的) English classes ___44___ (urgent).

It was the last day of the month-long summer camp. All the camp leaders and volunteers were preparing for the grand wrap-up event that evening. Some were setting up chairs and tables outside; some were preparing water balloons for games we would play later; and some were cutting fruits and veggies for snacks.
One of the leaders, George, came to me, handed me a small broom and a dustpan, and asked me to sweep the gym. Alone. While the others were chatting and laughing outside. While the gym was dusty and stuffy (不通风的) after weeks of camp and crafts.
I didn’t have a choice. I was sixteen, and George was my elder. I was a staff member at camp, and George was my employer. I put on as cheerful a face as I could and began to sweep the floor of the gymnasium.
Every time I made a decent (合宜的) pile of dust and scraps (残羹剩饭) to push into the dustpan, I had a nice little part of the gym cleared. But I would look up and see the rest of the gym and realize how big the job was. The whole situation felt so unfair.
I wasn’t really happy then. I’m not proud of it, but I was angry as well. I could hear the sounds of people talking, laughing, and generally having a great time outside. There was silence in the gym, except for my sweep, sweep, sweep.
During a break between sweeps, I looked up. George was quietly and matter-of-factly moving the speakers and cleaning the stage at the front of the gym. I noticed he worked alone as well. He didn’t seem particularly excited about what he was doing, but I noted the calmness and joy in his eyes as he went about his work, doing what had to be done because he was there and he was able to do it.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

Team China’s teenage freeski superstar Gu Ailing had halfpipe gold wrapped up by her second run at Genting Snow Park in Zhangjiakou. “I’ve never taken a victory lap before in my entire life, but this time I felt like I finally deserve it,” Gu told reporters after becoming the first athlete to win Olympic medals in all three freeski events. Her big victory at the 2021 X Games in Aspen, Colorado, where she won Big Air, halfpipe and slopestyle golds, increased the expectation level for her Olympic performance in Beijing.
Born in California to a Chinese mother, Gu began competing for China when she was 15 in 2019, stating her aim to inspire millions of young people during the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing and promote the sport she loves. Since then, the outstanding part-time model and grade-A student has been busy gaining records, titles and firsts. All the while her superstar status has snowballed, as evidenced by her millions of followers on social media.
The 18-year-old also clearly feels she has achieved much away from the sporting arena at Beijing 2022 and she has become the inspiration for many. “After reading hundreds of messages that I get every day from young girls saying that they go sking because of me and they want to keep going or they, you know, broke their boundaries in some other way and felt inspired by something that I said, I feel all those little things are immensely rewarding.”
When asked about her future plan, she had no idea whether she would continue to compete in freestyle skiing. “I’m going to do whatever feels right, and hopefully I’ll be able to create some kind of positive change out of any position that I'm in,” said Gu.

When I was young, I wondered why neighborhoods didn’t plant fruit trees to build community Later, my husband and I decided the right way to answer this question was to do it ourselves, so we began to fill our front yard with fruit trees, such as strawberries, pomegranates (石榴) and oranges.
Every crop (庄稼) brought us closer to neighbors and strangers. The food was an excuse to communicate. Kids in the neighborhood, including our sons, learned patience and gentle timing. When we had extra, we’d share it. Then, we received a powerful lesson:a gift hidden as a loss. Our first-ever crop of pomegranates had ripened (成熟), but at harvest (丰收), they were all gone, stolen in the middle of the night.
We were shocked, sad and angry. One of my friends had fun suggesting we post a sign to curse (诅咒) thieves who stole our fruit.
And suddenly, the lesson was clear. We did need a sign, but our sign would encourage sharing and community. Last fall, we had a larger crop of pomegranates. We posted a sign that read, “If you’d like one, please knock and introduce yourself and we’d be happy to cut one off the tree for you. Cutting saves the branches (枝条) and is good for future growth so we can continue to share with new friends like you. Thanks, the Green Family.” Out of eight pieces of fruit, one pomegranate was taken, and most others gifted to new friends.
This year, we planted three new fruit trees — a peach, a pear and a plum. Today, I am happy to role model generosity (慷慨,大方) for my young sons and to have been blessed (祈福) with the chance to provide an edible (可食的) front yard (院子) for others.
8. What was the author and her husband’s decision
A. To plant fruit trees in their front yard.
B. To invite their neighbors to share fruits.
C. To help their neighbors by planting fruit trees.
D. To find the right answer to their neighbor’s question.
9. In the author’s opinion, fruit trees in her yard ________.
A. provided food for the whole family
B. satisfied the needs of her neighbors
C. made her family lead a happier life
D. offered a chance to get close to others
10. We learn from the fourth paragraph that the author’s sign ________.
A. was made at the request of her friends
B. was quite effective in stopping thieves
C. didn’t bring the author any new friends
D. contained information about the Green Family
11. What message does the author want to express by telling the story

High school is difficult for everyone. You are going through an awkward time and you may either fit in right away or feel like a complete outcast. But no matter how well you may fit in (or not), joining a club will be good for you in the short term and long term.
Joining a club is a great way to meet new people, especially if you are new to the school. Joining a club forces you to communicate with people who have similar interests as you. Even if you are the shyest and quietest person, you are sure to develop a relationship with at least one person in the club that you decide to join. Speaking from personal experience, I have met some of my best friends from my after-school activities and had many new doors open to me.
Another really nice thing about joining a club is that doing activities looks good on college applications (申请). Being known as outgoing is a highly valued trait (特质); it shows that you are willing to put yourself out there, be determined (意志坚定的), and best of all try new things. Another nice thing is that (depending on the activity) it could help you develop skills that you could use during a college interview.
Productivity is something that teens seem to continuously have a problem with. Most teens go to school and then come home and spend the rest of the day in front of the television or phone, but activities prohibit (阻止) this. Teens are also very easy to influence and if they fall into the wrong group of people they could fall into consequences such as problems with the law. Clubs are a great place to spend time and be with good people who you can fall back on if you need them.
Maybe the most important reason why you should join a club is the long-term benefit (益处) it brings. The classroom isn’t the only learning environment in a school. Things such as meeting and speaking to new people, keeping an eye on the time, and being organized are things you will use every single day of your life.
12. What might the underlined word “outcast” in paragraph 1 mean

A. The number of clubs you have joined.
B. The strong relationships you have built.

14. What benefit of joining a club is talked about in paragraph 4
A. Increasing knowledge. B. Learning teamworking skills.
C. Improving your fitness level. D. Making good use of your time.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. What club should you join B. How to join a club you like
C. Why should you join a club D. Should you join a second club

I have a drawer full of letters to Santa. Each year my children would write up their Christmas wish lists. They were polite requests for the latest game or toy. As the children got older, they would give Santa some hints(提示)on where to buy their presents. ____16____
Those letters taught my children a valuable lesson about writing: It has a purpose. Sometimes our purpose is to achieve something;other times it may be to entertain, inform, or persuade. ____17____ And when writing doesn’t seem to have any purpose or get any kind of meaningful response, then it can be hard to get excited about doing it.
Christmas is a great time of year for children to communicate with others through writing. When children write for real audiences and real purposes, they can learn to choose their words accordingly. ____18____ You write “Dear Santa” because you don’t know him personally and you want to show him respect.
____19____ Texting, online messaging, live chats while playing video games all mean that they are constantly producing written messages. However, because they are usually writing to family and friends, they use informal language most of the time.
There is nothing wrong with this kind of writing. It suits the audience and the purpose and gets the job done. ____20____ This type of writing won’t be rewarded by the school examiner nor by a future employer or a potential client. The very best communicators are those who know how to adjust their language to match their audience.
A. It isn’t that these young people can’t write.
B. But it is always purposeful-or at least it should be.
C. The age of pen-and-paper letter writing may have passed.
D. As a result, each year they received something they wanted.
E. You write “Hi Nanna and Pop” because you are close to them.
F. As technology develops, young people are writing more than they ever have.
G. But if this is the only kind of writing young people do, it will cause problems.

So why are we keen on gossiping Are we just natural ____24____of both time and words Or do we talk a lot about nothing in particular simply to avoid facing up to the really important issues of life It’s not the case according to Professor Robin Dunbar.

Grooming helped to _____32_____the pressure and calm everybody down.
But as the groups got bigger and bigger, the amount of time spent in grooming activities also had to be _____33_____ to maintain its effectiveness.

第二节(满分25分)读后续写
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 the last day of the month-long summer camp. All the camp leaders and volunteers were preparing for the grand wrap-up event that evening. Some were setting up chairs and tables outside; some were preparing water balloons for games we would play later; and some were cutting fruits and veggies for snacks.
One of the leaders, George, came to me, handed me a small broom and a dustpan, and asked me to sweep the gym. Alone. While the others were chatting and laughing outside. While the gym was dusty and stuffy (不通风的) after weeks of camp and crafts.
I didn’t have a choice. I was sixteen, and George was my elder. I was a staff member at camp, and George was my employer. I put on as cheerful a face as I could and began to sweep the floor of the gymnasium.
Every time I made a decent (合宜的) pile of dust and scraps (残羹剩饭) to push into the dustpan, I had a nice little part of the gym cleared. But I would look up and see the rest of the gym and realize how big the job was. The whole situation felt so unfair.
I wasn’t really happy then. I’m not proud of it, but I was angry as well. I could hear the sounds of people talking, laughing, and generally having a great time outside. There was silence in the gym, except for my sweep, sweep, sweep.
During a break between sweeps, I looked up. George was quietly and matter-of-factly moving the speakers and cleaning the stage at the front of the gym. I noticed he worked alone as well. He didn’t seem particularly excited about what he was doing, but I noted the calmness and joy in his eyes as he went about his work, doing what had to be done because he was there and he was able to do it.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I watched him silently for the next ten minutes.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
“Thanks, Laura.” he said and nodded as if acknowledging the small sacrifice I had made.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I watched him silently for the next ten minutes. My broom and I were making slow but sure progress across the gym. Slowly, my unhappiness and anger left my heart, and in its place grew an appreciation for what I saw in George. Being a leader doesn’t mean getting to do all the fun things. It means sacrifice and hard work. I cleaned the whole gym with a small broom, one sweep at a time. As I finished and passed him, he looked up and smiled at me and I smiled back. I was tired; it was a tired smile; but it was a real smile.
“Thanks, Laura.” he said and nodded as if acknowledging the small sacrifice I had made. I forgot what I said in return. Probably “You’re welcome.” But what I should have said and what I want to say to him now is this: “Thank you for teaching me and showing me what being a good leader looks like. Thank you for the opportunity to sweep the floor of the gym, because now whenever I feel discouraged, I remember that half hour, and am reminded that doing the hard, right thing matters, no matter how I feel about it.”
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇第一人称的记叙文,故事发生在夏令营活动即将结束时,作为志愿者之一的作者也参与到准备闭营仪式的队伍中。而名为George的上级分配给她的任务却是独自打扫体育馆,繁重的工作量让作者不由心生不满,当她抬头看时却发现George也在默默地做着清扫工作。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“接下来的10分钟我静静地看着他。”及下一段首句点出的sacrifice一词可知,第一段可描写作者受到George的鼓舞,坚持完成了自己的工作。
②由第二段首句内容“‘谢谢你,Laura。’他说道,并点了点头,好像承认了我刚刚做出的小小牺牲。”可知,第二段可描写作者从George身上以及整个事件中得到的感悟。
2.续写线索:注视George——受到鼓舞——坚持完成任务——受到George感谢——感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①注视:watch/observe/look at
②认可:acknowledge/approve/admit
情绪类
①.感谢:showing his appreciation/show his gratitude/be grateful
②.气馁:discouraged/lose heart/down-hearted
【点睛】[高分句型1]. But what I should have said and what I want to say to him now is this: “Thank you for teaching me and showing me what being a good leader looks like.(运用了what引导的主语从句和宾语从句)
[高分句型2]. Thank you for the opportunity to sweep the floor of the gym, because now whenever I feel discouraged, I remember that half hour, and am reminded that doing the hard, right thing matters, no matter how I feel about it.”(运用了because引导的原因状语从句、whenever引导的时间状语从句和no matter how引导的让步状语从句)
