To grow sugary dates in the sand, Siwa’s farmers must first make the desert suitable for farming. As an oasis (绿洲) in Egypt, Siwa has been home to humans for thousands of years. Since ancient times, the oasis has had farms producing some of the most valuable dates in Egypt, and sugary dates have appeared on Egyptians, tables.
The desert environment in Siwa is not quite fit for plant, to grow. For example, the water there contains much salt. However, with local people’s efforts, the Siwa oasis contains complex agricultural (农业的) fields, where date trees, crops and other plants grow in harmony (和谐). That impressed me a lot during my visit to the oasis. To make a new piece of field, farmers first move away the top soil and replace it with a mixture of sand and waste matter from animals. The first plants are medicinal plants. Then, farmers plant date trees and olive trees. These farming skills are passed down from generation to generation.
To grow date trees is demanding. And it takes 10 years for a new date tree to grow up, but once it does, the tree produces generous fruit: around 110 pounds of dates per year. Each farmer picks dates with the skilled hands. They climb the trees using nothing more than a belt. In total, Siwa gets more than 25,000 tons of dates from 280,000 trees per year.
The dates can be eaten fresh, or made dry. Every part of the date tree is important in Siwa, from leaves made into beds and boxes to wood used to build houses. And then, of course, there’s the fruit itself. The dates can be cooked with goat meat or mixed with eggs for breakfast. They can also be mixed with flour, water, and olive oil, and boiled slowly to make a local dessert.
Local farmers once developed many unique date varieties, which their camels carried to Cairo. But later many of those varieties perished. And today only several major varieties remain and some have become quite rare and been at risk. The construction of a road in the oasis made the survival of local agricultural tradition even harder.
4. What can we learn about sugary dates from paragraph 1
A. They have existed for a long time.
B. They prefer the desert environment.
C. They’re introduced to Egypt from abroad.
D. They’re the most valuable fruit in Egypt.
5. What impressed the author a lot during his visit to Siwa
A. The great variety of plants grown there.
B. The hard but happy life of local people.
C. The difficulty in developing the local agriculture.
D. The farmers’ wisdom and contribution to farming.
6. What do the figures mentioned in paragraph 3 show
A. It is easy to pick dates from the trees.
B. It is worth the effort to plant date trees.
C. It costs a lot to grow date trees in the oasis.
D. It is necessary to develop agriculture in Siwa.
7. What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean
A. Improved. B. Died.
C. Became expensive. D. Remained unique.
C
A new analysis of photographs from the International Space Station has identified a shift in the kind of lighting technologies that European countries are using at night to brighten streets and buildings. Researchers have found that the old warm high-pressure street lights are rapidly being replaced by cooler LED lights. The University of Exeter study, published in Science Advances, claimed that “this phenomenon is widely increasing the risk of harmful effects to ecosystems”.
LED lighting was promoted as being intended to reduce emissions, but its usage has raised energy consumption. One explanation of this is that the increase in power efficiency and the associated decrease in economic cost have driven increased demand for lighting, therefore, any efficiency gains have been counteracted by increased consumption of light.
The study also claimed that previous research into the effects of light pollution have underestimated the impacts of blue light radiation. Chief among the health consequences of blue light is its ability to reduce the production of melatonin(褪黑素)that regulates sleep patterns in humans and other organisms. Scientific studies have warned that increased exposure to artificial blue light can worsen people’s sleeping habits.
The increase in blue light radiation in Europe has also reduced the visibility of stars in the night sky, which may have impacts on people’s sense of nature. Blue light can also alter the behavioral patterns of animals including bats and moths, as it can change their movements towards or away from light sources.
David Smith, of the conservation charity Buglife, said, “Light pollution can dramatically impact animals. We should consider light from a wider biological perspective than that of just humans and focus on better quality lighting that is harmonious with our natural world. Better quality and lower levels of lighting would help save energy, and lower financial costs, while also making our environment safer for living beings. Authorities can dim the lights during night hours, and change the bandwidths(带宽值)of their LED bulbs to produce less harmful blue light.”
8. What is the phenomenon described in paragraph 1
A. The rising demand for public lighting.
B The increasing use of LED lights.
C. Old street lights producing lots of emissions.
D. Artificial lights at night wasting much energy.
9. What does the underlined word “counteracted” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Judged. B. Maintained.
C. Balanced. D. Strengthened.
10. In which aspect are people influenced by blue lights
A. Sleep patterns. B. Eyesight.
C. Learning ability. D. Social behaviors.
11. Why does the author mention David Smith
A. To stress the importance of saving energy.
B. To persuade authorities to avoid using LED lights.
C. To show ways of improving the quality of LED bulbs.
D. To provide suggestions on reducing light pollution.
D
There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier, “Paper or plastic ” Well, which type of bag would you choose
While both types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are better. They are made from a renewable source, are broken down easily, burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However, the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true
Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times larger. Besides, the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags, which happen to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does to recycle paper.
Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones, plastic still seems to be considered as the more harmful of the two by governments. In Ireland, for example, a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag, and as a result, their use has dropped quickly.
There’s no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However, we don’t seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so, cloth bags are a better choice, but still, their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic ” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question: “What can I do to help the environment ”
12. Why does the author ask the question at the end of paragraph 1
A. To express the author’s doubts. B. To tell readers how to save money.
C To show the kindness of the cashier. D. To introduce the point for discussion.
pared with plastic bags, paper bags ________.
A. need more water to produce B. require less energy to recycle
C. have less influence on forests D. take more time to break down
14. What does the underlined word “discarded” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Shared. B. Discussed. C. Given up. D. Put forward.
15. Which question does the author probably hope the cashier ask
A. Paper or cloth B. A new bag or your own one
C. Paper or plastic D. A small bag or big one

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。
Last Saturday, Jordon was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about seven years old. When Jordon passed them, he heard the woman yell, “How stupid you are! You are good at nothing.” Jordon stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset.
Jordon was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Mary in middle school. After he entered middle school, Jordon lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which Jordon believed. But one day it all changed. One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Mary asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading the book. A few days later, Jordon handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day to his surprise, the comment “well done”from Mrs Mary came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. When Jordon read that, he almost burst into tears. He never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence. That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Mary the next morning. And again he was praised.
Jordon became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Mary to read them and correct them for him. Mrs Mary always corrected them for him. Mrs Mary always corrected the mistakes he had made and gave him good advice to improve them. One year later, Jordon joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence and was hopeful about his future. He succeeded in entering college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Mary’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now.
注意：续写词数应为150词左右;
请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Inspired by his own life story, Jordon decided to do something for that boy

To grow sugary dates in the sand, Siwa’s farmers must first make the desert suitable for farming. As an oasis (绿洲) in Egypt, Siwa has been home to humans for thousands of years. Since ancient times, the oasis has had farms producing some of the most valuable dates in Egypt, and sugary dates have appeared on Egyptians, tables.
The desert environment in Siwa is not quite fit for plant, to grow. For example, the water there contains much salt. However, with local people’s efforts, the Siwa oasis contains complex agricultural (农业的) fields, where date trees, crops and other plants grow in harmony (和谐). That impressed me a lot during my visit to the oasis. To make a new piece of field, farmers first move away the top soil and replace it with a mixture of sand and waste matter from animals. The first plants are medicinal plants. Then, farmers plant date trees and olive trees. These farming skills are passed down from generation to generation.
To grow date trees is demanding. And it takes 10 years for a new date tree to grow up, but once it does, the tree produces generous fruit: around 110 pounds of dates per year. Each farmer picks dates with the skilled hands. They climb the trees using nothing more than a belt. In total, Siwa gets more than 25,000 tons of dates from 280,000 trees per year.
The dates can be eaten fresh, or made dry. Every part of the date tree is important in Siwa, from leaves made into beds and boxes to wood used to build houses. And then, of course, there’s the fruit itself. The dates can be cooked with goat meat or mixed with eggs for breakfast. They can also be mixed with flour, water, and olive oil, and boiled slowly to make a local dessert.
Local farmers once developed many unique date varieties, which their camels carried to Cairo. But later many of those varieties perished. And today only several major varieties remain and some have become quite rare and been at risk. The construction of a road in the oasis made the survival of local agricultural tradition even harder.
4. What can we learn about sugary dates from paragraph 1
A. They have existed for a long time.
B. They prefer the desert environment.
C. They’re introduced to Egypt from abroad.
D. They’re the most valuable fruit in Egypt.
5. What impressed the author a lot during his visit to Siwa
A. The great variety of plants grown there.

That impressed me a lot during my visit to the oasis. (然而，在当地人的努力下，Siwa绿洲包含了复杂的农田，椰枣树、作物和其他植物在这里和谐生长。在我访问绿洲期间，这给我留下了深刻的印象)”可知，作者在Siwa访问期间，当地农民的智慧和对农业的贡献给作者留下了深刻的印象。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“And it takes 10 years for a new date tree to grow up, but once it does, the tree produces generous fruit: around 110 pounds of dates per year. Each farmer picks dates with the skilled hands. They climb the trees using nothing more than a belt. In total, Siwa gets more than 25,000 tons of dates from 280,000 trees per year.(一棵新的椰枣树需要10年才能长成，但一旦长成，它就会结出大量的果实：每年大约有110磅的椰枣。每个农民都用熟练的双手采摘椰枣。他们只用皮带就可以爬树。Siwa每年从28万棵树上总共收获25000多吨椰枣)”可知，本段中提到的数字表明，种植椰枣树是值得的。故选B项。

A new analysis of photographs from the International Space Station has identified a shift in the kind of lighting technologies that European countries are using at night to brighten streets and buildings. Researchers have found that the old warm high-pressure street lights are rapidly being replaced by cooler LED lights. The University of Exeter study, published in Science Advances, claimed that “this phenomenon is widely increasing the risk of harmful effects to ecosystems”.
LED lighting was promoted as being intended to reduce emissions, but its usage has raised energy consumption. One explanation of this is that the increase in power efficiency and the associated decrease in economic cost have driven increased demand for lighting, therefore, any efficiency gains have been counteracted by increased consumption of light.
The study also claimed that previous research into the effects of light pollution have underestimated the impacts of blue light radiation. Chief among the health consequences of blue light is its ability to reduce the production of melatonin(褪黑素)that regulates sleep patterns in humans and other organisms. Scientific studies have warned that increased exposure to artificial blue light can worsen people’s sleeping habits.
The increase in blue light radiation in Europe has also reduced the visibility of stars in the night sky, which may have impacts on people’s sense of nature. Blue light can also alter the behavioral patterns of animals including bats and moths, as it can change their movements towards or away from light sources.
David Smith, of the conservation charity Buglife, said, “Light pollution can dramatically impact animals. We should consider light from a wider biological perspective than that of just humans and focus on better quality lighting that is harmonious with our natural world. Better quality and lower levels of lighting would help save energy, and lower financial costs, while also making our environment safer for living beings. Authorities can dim the lights during night hours, and change the bandwidths(带宽值)of their LED bulbs to produce less harmful blue light.”
8. What is the phenomenon described in paragraph 1
A. The rising demand for public lighting.
B. The increasing use of LED lights.
C. Old street lights producing lots of emissions.
D. Artificial lights at night wasting much energy.
9. What does the underlined word “counteracted” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Judged. B. Maintained.
C. Balanced. D. Strengthened.
10. In which aspect are people influenced by blue lights
A. Sleep patterns. B. Eyesight.
C. Learning ability. D. Social behaviors.
11. Why does the author mention David Smith
A. To stress the importance of saving energy.
B. To persuade authorities to avoid using LED lights.
C. To show ways of improving the quality of LED bulbs.
D. To provide suggestions on reducing light pollution.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲LED 灯背后的蓝光污染。
8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A new analysis of photographs from the International Space Station has identified a shift in the kind of lighting technologies that European countries are using at night to brighten streets and buildings. Researchers have found that the old warm high-pressure street lights are rapidly being replaced by cooler LED lights. The University of Exeter study, published in Science Advances, claimed that ‘this phenomenon is widely increasing the risk of harmful effects to ecosystems’.(一项对国际空间站照片的新分析发现，欧洲国家在夜间用来照亮街道和建筑物的照明技术发生了变化。研究人员发现，老式的暖高压路灯正在迅速被较冷的LED灯所取代。埃克塞特大学发表在《科学进展》上的研究声称，‘这种现象正在广泛增加对生态系统有害影响的风险’。)”可知, 文章第一段描述了 LED 灯使用越来越多的现象。故选 B 项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“LED lighting was promoted as being intended to reduce emissions, but its usage has raised energy consumption. One explanation of this is that the increase in power efficiency and the associated decrease in economic cost have driven increased demand for lighting, therefore, any efficiency gains have been counteracted by increased consumption of light.(LED照明被宣传为旨在减少排放，但其使用增加了能源消耗。对此的一种解释是，功率效率的提高和经济成本的相关降低推动了对照明的需求增加，因此，任何效率的提高都被光消耗的增加所 。)”并结合选项可推测, 画线词所在句表示任何效率的提高都被增加的光消耗“抵消”了，C 项意为“抵消, 中和”。 故选 C 项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Chief among the health consequences of blue light is its ability to reduce the production of melatonin (褪黑素) that regulates sleep patterns in humans and other organisms. Scientific studies have warned that increased exposure to artificial blue light can worsen people’s sleeping habits.(蓝光对健康的主要影响是它能够减少褪黑激素的产生，而褪黑激素调节人类和其他生物的睡眠模式。科学研究已经警告说，增加暴露在人造蓝光下会恶化人们的睡眠习惯。)”可知，蓝光会影响人们的睡眠模式。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Light pollution can dramatically impact animals. We should consider light from a wider biological perspective than that of just humans and focus on better quality lighting that is harmonious with our natural world. Better quality and lower levels of lighting would help save energy, and lower financial costs, while also making our environment safer for living beings. Authorities can dim the lights during night hours, and change the bandwidths of their LED bulbs to produce less harmful blue light.(光污染会对动物产生巨大影响。我们应该从比人类更广泛的生物学角度来考虑光，并关注与我们的自然世界和谐相处的更高质量的照明。更好的质量和更低的照明水平将有助于节约能源和降低财务成本，同时也使我们的环境对人类更安全。当局可以在夜间调暗灯光，并改变LED灯泡的带宽，以产生危害较小的蓝光。)”可知, David Smith 表示光污染会极大地影响动物，作者引用 David Smith 的话语旨在为减少光污染提供建议。故选 D 项。
D
There was a time when a trip to the supermarket in the United States often ended with a seemingly simple question from the cashier, “Paper or plastic ” Well, which type of bag would you choose
While both types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are better. They are made from a renewable source, are broken down easily, burn without giving off thick smoke and can be recycled. However, the producing process behind paper bags uses more energy than that of plastic ones. How can this be true
Studies show that paper bag production requires four times as much energy as plastic bag production. And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times larger. Besides, the influence on forests is very serious. It takes about fourteen million trees to produce ten billion paper bags, which happen to be the number of bags used in the United States yearly. In terms of recycling, the idea that paper bags are more environment-friendly than plastic ones can be quickly discarded. Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does to recycle paper.
Even though paper bags might be more harmful than plastic ones, plastic still seems to be considered as the more harmful of the two by governments. In Ireland, for example, a tax has been introduced to discourage the use of plastic bags. People have to pay 22 cents for every plastic bag, and as a result, their use has dropped quickly.
There’s no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags. However, we don’t seem to be doing that at present. That may be because they fall apart quickly. If so, cloth bags are a better choice, but still, their production also has a bad influence on the environment. So what to do How should we answer the question of “Paper or plastic ” It seems that we first need to ask ourselves one more general question: “What can I do to help the environment ”
12. Why does the author ask the question at the end of paragraph 1
A. To express the author’s doubts. B. To tell readers how to save money.
C. To show the kindness of the cashier. D. To introduce the point for discussion.
pared with plastic bags, paper bags ________.
A. need more water to produce B. require less energy to recycle
C. have less influence on forests D. take more time to break down
14. What does the underlined word “discarded” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Shared. B. Discussed. C. Given up. D. Put forward.
15. Which question does the author probably hope the cashier ask
A. Paper or cloth B. A new bag or your own one
C. Paper or plastic D. A small bag or big one
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了生产和回收购物纸袋实际要比塑料袋消耗更多的能源，并不有利于环境，但人们仍然认为塑料袋对环境的危害要大一些，作者认为无论何种材质，重复使用这些袋子才有利于环境。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“While both types of bags have some influence on the environment, it has long been supposed that paper bags are better.(虽然这两种袋子对环境都有一定的影响，但人们一直认为纸袋更好)”可知，作者提出问题是为了引出下文“纸袋真的更好吗？”的问题，故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“And the amount of water used to make them is twenty times larger.( 而制造它们所用的水量是它们的20倍)”可知，与塑料袋相比，纸袋需要更多的水来生产。故选A。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“Research shows it requires about 98% less energy to recycle plastic than it does to recycle paper.(研究表明，回收塑料所需的能源比回收纸张所需的能源少98%)”可知，回收塑料比回收纸要更节约能源，所以纸袋比塑料更环保的想法可能很快会被放弃，故划线词意思是“放弃”。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“There’s no doubt that it makes more sense to reuse these bags.(毫无疑问，重复使用这些袋子更有意义)”可知，作者建议人们循环使用纸袋，从而推断B选项“买个新袋子还是用你自己的袋子？”最符合作者希望收银员提出的问题。故选B。

Dear friends,

The Student’s Union
【答案】Dear friends,
Do you know the earth is becoming warmer and warmer It is human activity that has caused global warming. A low - carbon lifestyle is the key to handling this big problem.
To fulfill it, we should do our part in our daily life. First, turn off the taps, the lights and so on when we are not using them. It is a good idea to recycle everything recyclable in our daily life. What’s more, motor vehicles use a lot of energy—so walk or ride a bike if we can. It also makes sense to stick to the habit of setting the temperature of our air conditioners at about 26℃ in summer.
Let’s take action now! If we can make small changes in our way of life, we can make a big difference to the earth.

第二节（满分25分）
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。
Last Saturday, Jordon was taking a walk in the park near his home when he noticed a woman with a boy of about seven years old. When Jordon passed them, he heard the woman yell, “How stupid you are! You are good at nothing.” Jordon stopped and looked at the little boy. The boy said nothing. He just stood there, looking upset.
Jordon was reminded of his English teacher Mrs Mary in middle school. After he entered middle school, Jordon lacked self-confidence because he was often made fun of by others. He was often told that he was good at nothing, which Jordon believed. But one day it all changed. One day, in an English writing class, Mrs Mary asked them to read a novel. They were asked to write a new chapter of the novel after they finished reading the book. A few days later, Jordon handed in his story. He didn’t give it much thought. But the next day to his surprise, the comment “well done”from Mrs Mary came into view the moment he turned to the page where the story was written. When Jordon read that, he almost burst into tears. He never expected to be praised one day. He suddenly gained some self-confidence. That day after he returned home, he wrote a short story and gave it to Mrs Mary the next morning. And again he was praised.
Jordon became very interested in writing. He often wrote short stories and asked Mrs Mary to read them and correct them for him. Mrs Mary always corrected them for him. Mrs Mary always corrected the mistakes he had made and gave him good advice to improve them. One year later, Jordon joined the school newspaper and became an editor of it. He was no longer that boy who lacked self-confidence. He gained his confidence and was hopeful about his future. He succeeded in entering college and kept writing. Several years after graduating from college, he had his first book published. With some more books coming out, he became famous as a writer in his country. And he owed his success to Mrs Mary’s encouragement. Without her encouragement, his life might be very different now.
注意：续写词数应为150词左右;
请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Inspired by his own life story, Jordon decided to do something for that boy
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The mother felt ashamed when she heard that
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Inspired by his own life story Jordan decided to do something for that boy. He went to the woman, who immediately recognized him because she had read his books and seen his pictures. Jordan started to chat with her. He told her that what she said to her boy was not appropriate. Then he told her about the encouragement he once got from Mrs. Mary. In the end, he said, “I couldn’t have become a writer if I had believed I was good at nothing.”
Paragraph 2:
The mother was ashamed when she heard that. She realized that she shouldn’t have called her son stupid, which would make his lose confidence in himself. So she said, “Thank you for your advice. I’ll never say such things to him again. Instead, I’ll find out what he’s good at and encourage him.” The woman then left with the boy. Looking at the back of the boy, Jordan felt relieved, hoping his action could make some difference to the boy.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jordan在公园散步时偶遇一个女人在训斥一名八岁左右的男孩，说男孩什么都不擅长，这让Jordan回想起了自己的经历。他在中学时缺乏自信，经常被别人取笑，人们说他什么都不擅长，但他的英语老师Mary夫人却表扬他的文章写得好，这给了他自信，后来成为了一名成功的作家，他把自己的成功归功于Mary夫人的鼓励，如果没有她的鼓励，他现在的生活可能会大不相同。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“受到自己生活故事的启发，Jordan决定为那个男孩做点什么。”可知，第一段可描写David是如何帮助那个男孩的。
②由第二段首句内容“那位母亲听到这话感到很惭愧。”可知，第二段可描写听了David的话后母亲的感悟。
2.续写线索：认出David开始聊天——讲述自己的经历——女人感到惭愧——转变态度——女人和小男孩离开——David希望自己的行为起作用
3.词汇激活
行为类
①认出：recognize/make out
②擅长：be good at/do well in
③意识到：realize/be aware of
情绪类
①羞愧的：ashamed/feel shame
②宽慰的：feel relieved/feel a sense of relief
【点睛】[高分句型1] He went to the woman, who immediately recognized him because she had read his books and seen his pictures.（运用了关系代词who引导非限制性定语从句和because引导原因状语从句）
[高分句型2] I couldn’t have become a writer if I had believed I was good at nothing.（运用了虚拟语气）
[高分句型3] Looking at the back of the boy, Jordan felt relieved, hoping his action could make some difference to the boy.（运用了现在分词作状语）
