Putting cash in the hands of mothers can help shape the brains of their babies, according to a study in the
United States.
Family income has been linked to child development numerous times in the past in observational studies, but
this is the first time researchers have found direct experimental evidence of how poverty drives such changes.
The findings come from an ongoing study known as Baby’s First Year, which is attempting to assess how
poverty reduction can impact the cognitive and emotional growth of very young children. “We have known for
many years that growing up in poverty puts children at risk for lower school achievement, reduced earnings, and
poorer health,” explains neuroscientist Kimberly Noble from Columbia University. “However, until now, we
haven’t been able to say whether poverty itself causes differences in child development, or whether growing up in
poverty is simply associated with other factors that cause those differences.”
A thousand low-income mothers in the US were recruited (招募) for the study shortly after their babies were
born. These parents, who came from either New York City, New Orleans, Omaha or Minneapolis/St. Paul, were
then randomly offered either $333 a month in unconditional cash payments or $20 a month in unconditional cash
payments for the first four years of their baby's life—no strings attached.
The data show that giving low-income mothers financial support can directly change infant brain activity in
the first year of life. Infants (婴儿) whose mothers had received the higher cash payments, for instance, had higher
frequency brain activity than those infants whose mothers had received less.
Further research is needed to see whether these changes in brain activity last or whether they translate to
improved cognitive development, but there’s good reason to suspect they might.
4. How is the current study different from previous ones?A. It didn’t get expectant result. B. Its result is obtained by observing.
C. There is no evidence to support it. D. Its result is based on direct experiment.
5. What’s the purpose of the current study?
A. To find other factors that impact young children.
B. To find if poverty has negative effects on child development.
C. To prove if relieving poverty contributes to child brain development.
D. To prove family income has nothing to do with child development.
6. What can you infer from paragraph 4?
A. The cash was offered without conscious decision.
B. The study gave away money to low-income mothers.
C. Thousands of low-income mothers were involved in the study.
D. Low-income mothers received cash payments for four years.
7. What is the passage probably going to talk about next?
A. Why further research is needed.
B. Studies contrary to the current findings.
C. Whether these changes in brain activity last.
D. Other similar studies that support the current findings.
C
Peacocks (孔雀) have been troublesome birds of the Palos Verdes Peninsula and the San Gabriel Valley for
decades, destroying gardens, blocking traffic, leaving droppings on roofs and making noises. Much to neighbors’
annoyance, some people leave out seeds and bread for the bright-colored feathered birds.
On Tuesday, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors decided that feeding peacocks is a misdemeanor, a
slight crime, in unincorporated areas and the 44 cities that contract (签合同) with the county animal control
department. Misdemeanors are punishable by up to six months in prison, a fine of up to $1, 000 or both. Contract
cities can quit this rule, while unincorporated areas cannot, said Marcia Mayeda, director of the LA County
Department of Animal Care and Control.
Some cities, including Pasadena and Arcadia, already ban feeding peacocks. Among the peacock-rich
communities covered by the rule are Rancho Palos Verdes and Rolling Hills, as well as Chapman Woods near
Pasadena.
“If a city said, We don’t want to adopt this. We have a different way of handling peacocks, we would agree to
that, ” Mayeda said. According to him, animal control officers generally leave peacocks alone, as“they’re a difficult
bird to catch”. Instead, the county will contract with wildlife expert Mike Maxcy, who worked at the Los AngelesZoo for 33 years and has resettled peafowl, a kind of peacock, in large farms since 1999.
Peafowl are smart, eating practically anything and everything, Maxcy said. In adulthood, they don’t face many
killers, other than humans. Feeding the birds, which are not native to Southern California, causes the population to
increase, as they lay more eggs when resources are abundant. LA County’s peacock population has been increased
by years of human feeding.
Thus, the problems are posed by their fans. “They’re all in very nice neighborhoods with very nice homes
and tall, old pine trees (where they sleep), and dare I say, animal fans that love to feed them, ”Maxcy said.
8. What do we know about the new rule?
A. It is intended to protect peacocks.
B. It allows contract cities to drop out.
C. It applies to all the cities in Los Angeles.
D. It involves either being in prison or a fine.
9. Why will the county contract with Mike Maxcy?
A. To observe the rule strictly.
B. To make peacocks lay more eggs.
C. To get advice on feeding peacocks.
D. To deal with peacocks in another way.
.
10 Which of the following can replace the underlined word “posed” in the last paragraph?
A. Caused. B. Addressed. C. Discussed. D. Covered.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Personal growth , joint efforts
B. No balance, no neighborhood
C. Feed a peacock , face a crime
D. Love a peacock, lose a fan
D
Trust me — I am expedition doctor
Ever since I was a young child, I’ve had a taste for adventure, but I never imagined I’d be able to satisfy this
passion at regular intervals because of my chosen career.
My work as an expedition (探险队) doctor has taken me all over the world. However, my favourite trips, and
the ones in which I now specialise, are those involving mountains. Never do I feel more inspired by nature than
when I look up at their towering peaks and begin to prepare myself mentally for the challenges ahead.
I trained as a doctor in the UK, but there was little in that training to prepare me for binding up a broken legduring a storm on the side of a mountain! In fact, I’d say that medical skills come some way down the list of job
requirements, after endurance, flexibility, problem-solving and communication.
This kind of medicine is a million miles away from the controlled, germ-free environment of a hospital, and
your medical kit basically consists of whatever you can carry, so you sometimes have to be prepared to improvise (即兴
做). For example, I’ve learned that some drugs can be used for several conditions, and I’ve even had to resort to
cutting branches off a small tree to make a stick to support a broken arm.
That isn’t to say that you can’t train to be an expedition doctor; on the contrary, there are some excellent courses
available. Not only do they teach medical techniques, but also practical skills such as carrying out risk assessments,
crossing rivers safely and using satellite phones. The first course I did included a session on expedition dentistry,
though I must admit I still don’t like the idea of pulling out someone’s tooth!
I do most of my work for adventure holiday companies, travelling to remote places. When I started out, these
holidays were quite rare, but they have become much more mainstream now that we’ve all seen celebrities climbing
Kilimanjaro or watched reality shows about people surviving in jungles.
I do have mixed feelings about all these people with large amounts of disposable income coming to poor areas
just for their own enjoyment, so I try to make sure that the companies I work for have high ethical standards and
benefit the local communities. And of course, tourism provides employment, and also opens the eyes of rich visitors to
the hardship that many people are forced to endure.
I realise that this kind of life isn’t for everyone, but I’d recommend that all doctors try it at least once, if only to
make them appreciate the comforts of their usual working environment!
12. The author feels that he has been________.
A. obliged to choose his career B. lucky with his job
C. obsessed with his adventure D. inspired by his patients
13. According to the passage, what can be learned about medical skills for an expedition doctor?
A. They are less important than practical skills.
B. They are strictly required as the most important.
C. They are adequately attained in medical schools.
D. They are an underlying part of practical skills.
14. Why do expedition doctors sometimes have to use unusual techniques?
A. They keep their equipment in a backpack.
B. Things can happen that they don’t expect.
.
C They don’t have the resources of a hospital.
D. They are required by the patients on the trip.15. The author works for ethical companies because________.
A. they organise expeditions in the remote areas he enjoys visiting
B. they appreciate the comforts of the unusual working environments
C. he wants to make sure that his clients are safe at all times during the expedition
D. he feels uncomfortable about the difference between rich tourists and poor local people

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。
During the summer before Patty entered fifth grade, she decided to try a new sport. Swim training was nearly
over and Patty was the fastest swimmer in her age group. She had always been the best. The neighborhood was
offering a one-week tennis training course. Patty and her friend Darla got permission from their parents to join.
On Saturday morning, Darla’s mom took the girls to a store and bought them each a good, used tennis racket.
“If you girls stick to tennis, then we’ll talk about a new racket. These will do for now.” The girls were excited about
their new purchases. On Monday morning, at 7:00 a.m., Patty’s mom woke her up. “It’s time for tennis!” Patty
covered her face. “Mom, it’s too early!” She made great effort to get out of bed and down to the breakfast table. Patty
finished breakfast and ran to Darla’s house, then they walked to the court.
,
Mrs. Cane the tennis coach, lined everyone up and started with the basics. After that, Mrs. Cane tirelessly
taught them to practice their forehand and backhand. By the end of the week, Patty had made impressive progress.
Mrs. Cane commented that Patty had lots of potential. Darla, on the other hand, was struggling. The other teenagers
were having a tough time of it, too. Patty was the only one who seemed to get somewhere.
Since then, Darla had always been out in the August heat, practicing her serves or hitting the ball. Patty wasn’t
really interested. She felt she was such a “natural” for tennis that she really didn’t need to practice. By the end of the
summer, Darla began to get the hang of it. She joined a neighborhood junior tennis team. There would be matches
every Thursday. Patty wanted to join as well, but she didn’t want to miss her favorite TV show. She told herself that
she would join it when she got some free time. If Darla had fun, she would join the team in the spring.
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。

decades, destroying gardens, blocking traffic, leaving droppings on roofs and making noises. Much to neighbors’
annoyance, some people leave out seeds and bread for the bright-colored feathered birds.
On Tuesday, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors decided that feeding peacocks is a misdemeanor, a
slight crime, in unincorporated areas and the 44 cities that contract (签合同) with the county animal control
department. Misdemeanors are punishable by up to six months in prison, a fine of up to $1, 000 or both. Contract
cities can quit this rule, while unincorporated areas cannot, said Marcia Mayeda, director of the LA County
Department of Animal Care and Control.
Some cities, including Pasadena and Arcadia, already ban feeding peacocks. Among the peacock-rich
communities covered by the rule are Rancho Palos Verdes and Rolling Hills, as well as Chapman Woods near
Pasadena.
“If a city said, We don’t want to adopt this. We have a different way of handling peacocks, we would agree to
that, ” Mayeda said. According to him, animal control officers generally leave peacocks alone, as“they’re a difficult
bird to catch”. Instead, the county will contract with wildlife expert Mike Maxcy, who worked at the Los Angeles
Zoo for 33 years and has resettled peafowl, a kind of peacock, in large farms since 1999.
Peafowl are smart, eating practically anything and everything, Maxcy said. In adulthood, they don’t face many
killers, other than humans. Feeding the birds, which are not native to Southern California, causes the population to
increase, as they lay more eggs when resources are abundant. LA County’s peacock population has been increasedby years of human feeding.
Thus, the problems are posed by their fans. “They’re all in very nice neighborhoods with very nice homes
and tall, old pine trees (where they sleep), and dare I say, animal fans that love to feed them, ”Maxcy said.
8. What do we know about the new rule?
A. It is intended to protect peacocks.
B. It allows contract cities to drop out.
C. It applies to all the cities in Los Angeles.
D. It involves either being in prison or a fine.
9. Why will the county contract with Mike Maxcy?
A. To observe the rule strictly.
B. To make peacocks lay more eggs.
C. To get advice on feeding peacocks.
D. To deal with peacocks in another way.
10. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “posed” in the last paragraph?
A. Caused. B. Addressed. C. Discussed. D. Covered.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Personal growth , joint efforts
B. No balance, no neighborhood
,
C. Feed a peacock face a crime
D. Love a peacock, lose a fan

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了洛杉矶县实行新规：在部分市区，喂食孔雀为轻微犯罪，面临
六个月牢狱之灾，或1000美元罚款，或两罚兼有。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Contract cities can quit this rule, while unincorporated areas cannot (签约城市可以
退出这项规定，而非法人地区则不能。)”可知，新规则允许签合同的城市退出这项法规。故选B项。

推理判断题。根据第四段““If a city said, We don’t want to adopt this. We have a different way of handling
peacocks, we would agree to that, ” Mayeda said.(马耶达说：“如果一个城市说，我们不想采用这种方式。我
们有不同的处理孔雀的方式，我们会同意。”。)”可知， 如果一 个城市不想采用这个新规，而是有别的
办法解决孔雀问题也可以，所以与野生动物专家签合同请他们安置孔雀，就是用另一种办法对待孔雀。故
选D项。【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段“Feeding the birds, which are not native to Southern California, causes the population
to increase, as they lay more eggs when resources are abundant. LA County’s peacock population has been
increased by years of human feeding.(喂食这些并非南加州本土的鸟类会导致数量增加，因为当资源丰富时，
它们会产更多的蛋。由于人类多年的喂养，洛杉矶县的孔雀数量有所增加。)”以及最后一段““They’re
all in very nice neighborhoods with very nice homes and tall, old pine trees (where they sleep), and dare I say,
animal fans that love to feed them, ”Maxcy said.(马克西说：“他们都住在非常好的社区，有非常好的房子和
高大的老松树（他们睡觉的地方），我敢说，还有喜欢喂养他们的动物迷。”。)”可知，孔雀住在特别适
合栖息的地区里，那里的动物迷们特别爱喂它们，问题是由他们引起的，推测划线单词表示“引起”，与
caused同义。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“On Tuesday, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors decided that feeding
peacocks is a misdemeanor, a slight crime, in unincorporated areas and the 44 cities that contract with the county
animal control department.(星期二，洛杉矶县监察委员会决定，在非自治区和与县动物控制部门签订合同的
44个城市，喂养孔雀是一种轻罪，是轻微犯罪。轻罪可判处6个月监禁，最高罚款1000美元或两者兼

轻微犯罪，面临六个月牢狱之灾，或1000美元罚款，或两罚兼有，所以“喂孔雀，面临犯罪”可以作为文
章标题。故选C项。

Trust me — I am expedition doctor
Ever since I was a young child, I’ve had a taste for adventure, but I never imagined I’d be able to satisfy this
passion at regular intervals because of my chosen career.
My work as an expedition (探险队) doctor has taken me all over the world. However, my favourite trips, and
the ones in which I now specialise, are those involving mountains. Never do I feel more inspired by nature than
when I look up at their towering peaks and begin to prepare myself mentally for the challenges ahead.
I trained as a doctor in the UK, but there was little in that training to prepare me for binding up a broken leg
during a storm on the side of a mountain! In fact, I’d say that medical skills come some way down the list of job
requirements, after endurance, flexibility, problem-solving and communication.
This kind of medicine is a million miles away from the controlled, germ-free environment of a hospital, and
your medical kit basically consists of whatever you can carry, so you sometimes have to be prepared to improvise (即兴
做). For example, I’ve learned that some drugs can be used for several conditions, and I’ve even had to resort tocutting branches off a small tree to make a stick to support a broken arm.
That isn’t to say that you can’t train to be an expedition doctor; on the contrary, there are some excellent courses
available. Not only do they teach medical techniques, but also practical skills such as carrying out risk assessments,
crossing rivers safely and using satellite phones. The first course I did included a session on expedition dentistry,
though I must admit I still don’t like the idea of pulling out someone’s tooth!
I do most of my work for adventure holiday companies, travelling to remote places. When I started out, these
holidays were quite rare, but they have become much more mainstream now that we’ve all seen celebrities climbing
Kilimanjaro or watched reality shows about people surviving in jungles.
I do have mixed feelings about all these people with large amounts of disposable income coming to poor areas
just for their own enjoyment, so I try to make sure that the companies I work for have high ethical standards and
benefit the local communities. And of course, tourism provides employment, and also opens the eyes of rich visitors to
the hardship that many people are forced to endure.
I realise that this kind of life isn’t for everyone, but I’d recommend that all doctors try it at least once, if only to
make them appreciate the comforts of their usual working environment!
12. The author feels that he has been________.
A. obliged to choose his career B. lucky with his job
C. obsessed with his adventure D. inspired by his patients
13. According to the passage, what can be learned about medical skills for an expedition doctor?
A. They are less important than practical skills.
B. They are strictly required as the most important.
C. They are adequately attained in medical schools.
D. They are an underlying part of practical skills.
14. Why do expedition doctors sometimes have to use unusual techniques?
A. They keep their equipment in a backpack.
B. Things can happen that they don’t expect.
C. They don’t have the resources of a hospital.
D. They are required by the patients on the trip.
15. The author works for ethical companies because________.
A. they organise expeditions in the remote areas he enjoys visiting
B. they appreciate the comforts of the unusual working environments
C. he wants to make sure that his clients are safe at all times during the expedition
D. he feels uncomfortable about the difference between rich tourists and poor local people
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，作者主要讲述了自己作为远征医生的工作经历。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Ever since I was a young child, I’ve had a taste for adventure, but I never imagined

求清单上，医疗技能排在耐力、灵活性、解决问题的能力和沟通能力之后。)”可知，作为远征医生，医疗
技能不如实用技能重要。故选A。
【
14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的“This kind of medicine is a million miles away from the controlled, germ-free
environment of a hospital, and your medical kit basically consists of whatever you can carry, so you sometimes
have to be prepared to improvise (即兴做).(这种药物远离医院那种受控制的无菌环境，而且你的医疗箱基本
上包括你能携带的任何东西，所以有时你必须准备好临时应变。)”可知，远征医生有时不得不使用不寻常
的技术是因为他们没有医院那样的资源。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“I do have mixed feelings about all these people with large amounts of
disposable income coming to poor areas just for their own enjoyment, so I try to make sure that the companies I
work for have high ethical standards and benefit the local communities.(对于这些拥有大量可支配收入的人来到
贫困地区只是为了自己的享受，我确实有一种复杂的感情，所以我努力确保我工作的公司有很高的道德标
准，并有益于当地社区。)”可知，作者为有道德的公司工作，因为他对富有的游客和贫穷的当地人之间的
差异感到不舒服。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中国旗袍的特点、词汇出处、演变和流行。
【36题详解】考查连词。句意：旗袍是中国女性的经典服饰，将中国传统的优雅与独特的风格元素相结合，充分衬托出
女性形体之美。combine sth. with sth.意为“将……与……结合”，为固定搭配。故填with。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“cheongsam”这个名字的意思就是“长裙子”，它是从中国广东方言中进入英
语词汇的。本句的谓语是entered。所以空处应用非谓语动词。动词mean意为“意思是”，和主语The
name “cheongsam”构成逻辑上的主动关系，所以应用现在分词形式，作后置定语。故填meaning。
【
38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：然而，在包括北京在内的中国其他地区，它被称为“qipao”，这背后有一段历史。
空处引导非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词是主句所表达的事情，所以应用关系代词which。
故填which。
【39题详解】
考查状语从句。句意：虽然清朝的统治于1911年结束，但这款女装在政治变革中幸存了下来。根据句意，
“the rule of the Qing Dynasty was ended in 1911”和“the female dress survived the political change”之间是让
步关系，空处引导让步状语从句，且位于句首，所以应用连词although/though/while，意为“尽管”。故填
Although/Though/While。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在20世纪20年代，受西方风格的影响，旗袍经历了一次变革，包括长度缩短，使女性
身体的美得到了充分的展示。根据空后的“1920s”可知，这里表示年代，应加the。故填the。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意参考上题。allow sth./sb. to do sth.意为“允许某物/某人做某事”，不定式作宾语补
足语。根据句意，the beauty of the female body和display之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以应用不定式的被动
形式。故填to be displayed。
【42题详解】
考查语态。句意：不仅因为它有多种风格，还因为它可以在休闲或正式场合穿着。根据句意，it(指“旗
袍”)和wear之间是动宾关系，且空前有can，所以这里应用be done的形式。故填be worn。
【43题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：例如，当中国大使的妻子们参加重要的社交聚会时，她们的首选服装是旗袍。wife
是可数名词，且其前没有限定词修饰，所以这里应用名词复数。故填wives。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意：事实上，相当多的有影响力的人建议旗袍应该成为中国女性的民族服装。空处应用形
容词influential，表示“有影响力的”，作定语，修饰名词people。故填influential。【45题详解】
考查反身代词。句意：许多外国女性都渴望在来中国旅游时给自己买一件旗袍。此处宾语和主语指代相同，
所以应用反身代词themselves，意为“她们自己”，作间接宾语。故填themselves。

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。
During the summer before Patty entered fifth grade, she decided to try a new sport. Swim training was nearly
over and Patty was the fastest swimmer in her age group. She had always been the best. The neighborhood was
offering a one-week tennis training course. Patty and her friend Darla got permission from their parents to join.
On Saturday morning, Darla’s mom took the girls to a store and bought them each a good, used tennis racket.
“If you girls stick to tennis, then we’ll talk about a new racket. These will do for now.” The girls were excited about
their new purchases. On Monday morning, at 7:00 a.m., Patty’s mom woke her up. “It’s time for tennis!” Patty
covered her face. “Mom, it’s too early!” She made great effort to get out of bed and down to the breakfast table. Patty
finished breakfast and ran to Darla’s house, then they walked to the court.
Mrs. Cane, the tennis coach, lined everyone up and started with the basics. After that, Mrs. Cane tirelessly taught
them to practice their forehand and backhand. By the end of the week, Patty had made impressive progress. Mrs.
Cane commented that Patty had lots of potential. Darla, on the other hand, was struggling. The other teenagers were
having a tough time of it, too. Patty was the only one who seemed to get somewhere.
Since then, Darla had always been out in the August heat, practicing her serves or hitting the ball. Patty wasn’t
really interested. She felt she was such a “natural” for tennis that she really didn’t need to practice. By the end of the
summer, Darla began to get the hang of it. She joined a neighborhood junior tennis team. There would be matches
every Thursday. Patty wanted to join as well, but she didn’t want to miss her favorite TV show. She told herself that
she would join it when she got some free time. If Darla had fun, she would join the team in the spring.注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

【答案】【参考范文】
The week before school started, Mrs. Cane held another training course. Darla and Patty signed up immediately.
In a class, Mrs. Cane asked the teenagers to play in turn. Darla came first, impressing others with her excellent
performance. Mrs. Cane was pleased with Darla’s progress. “Well, I can tell who’s been practicing!” she smiled. Soon
it was Patty’s turn. Everyone looked at the “talent” expectantly. Yet, Patty had not practiced and was far behind the
rest, which was a shock for all. Patty was upset and absent until the class was over.
Patty couldn’t stop thinking of her poor performance on the way home. She realized she needed change if she
still wanted to continue with tennis. The next day, Patty came to Darla’s team when they practiced to ask whether she
could join. Warmly welcomed, she became a member of the team that day. Weak though she was, Patty enjoyed
herself and worked hard at practice. She finally found that “natural talent” got her nowhere without diligence and she
was able to join in the fun. That was one of the best lessons of her life.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在暑假期间，Patty和她的朋友Darla一起加入了Mrs. Cane的网
球培训课。Mrs. Cane不知疲倦地教他们练习正手和反手，起初，Patty进步很快，被教练称赞具有天赋，
Darla和课上其他同学却学得艰难，所以Darla一直勤加练习，练习发球或击球，Patty并不是很感兴趣，她觉得自己打网球是天生的，根本不需要练习。夏末的时候，Darla开始掌握了窍门，她加入了附近的青少
年网球队，Patty也想加入，但是又想看电视。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“开学前一周，Mrs. Cane又举办了一次培训课程。”可知，第一段可描写Patty和
Darla在培训课程上的表现。
②由第二段首句内容“在回家的路上，帕蒂一直在想她糟糕的表现。”可知，第二段可描写Patty加入了
Darla的队伍，并且醒悟了，知道了勤奋练习的重要性。
2.续写线索：Darla得第一名——Mrs.Cane高兴——Patty表现不好——Patty反省——Patty加入Darla的队
伍——Patty努力练习——Patty感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①得第一：come first/take the first place
②远远落后：be far behind/fall further behind
③意识到：realize/be aware
情绪类
①高兴的：pleased/delighted
②沮丧的：upset/dispirited
【点睛】[高分句型1] Yet, Patty had not practiced and was far behind the rest, which was a shock for all. (由关系
代词which引导的非限制性定语从句)
[高分句型2] She realized she needed change if she still wanted to continue with tennis. (由if引导的条件状语从
句和that引导的宾语从句，省略了连接词that)
