They talk about the straw that broke the camel’s back, but for me really it should be the password that wiped out my memory bank.
I was going along fine with instant recall of my bank PIN, my mobile phone number and the date of my cousin’s birthday before I downloaded a gas station payment app for its new customer discount. It asked me to create a password. When I typed in “gas 1”, it was rejected for not being complex enough. I tried again: “I Hate Hearless Oil Companies@”. But that was too long and didn’t include “at least one number”. But here is the thing: as soon as I added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing!
I had entered some passwords in a notebook. Of course, I didn’t write down the actual passwords, in case it fell into the wrong hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein.
Maybe we need a system like the one we use to remember people’s names. You know, you form an association between a person’s characteristics and their name by whispering “Skinny George. Skinny George” in heart after meeting them. The risk is that, upon seeing him, you’ll burst out the phrase. “Skinny George” might not mind, but it’s possible “Boring Betty” will. As for remembering passwords as you change them, you could simply use the first and last letters of your favorite singer’s greatest hits, together with the year of their release.
Maybe I’ll try that one out, but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then I’ll hide it in such a secret place that even I won’t be able to find it later!
4. What can we learn about the author from the first two paragraphs
A. He fell for a marketing trick. B. He was annoyed by passwords.
C. He had a serious memory disorder. D. He was rejected by the gas station.
5. By mentioning Albert Einstein in paragraph 3, what does the author mean to do
A. To fool the intelligent scientist. B. To advocate a password system.
C. To show the safety of his passwords. D. To prove the uselessness of his passwords.
6. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To assess a password-remembering method. B. To encourage readers to use password notebooks.
C. To highlight the importance of complex passwords. D. To complain about the trouble caused by passwords.
7. How does the author sound in this passage
A. Humorous. B. Indifferent. C. Serious. D. Absurd.
C
Ariel Procaccia has thought a lot about how to cut a cake over the last 15 years. As the father of three children, he knows how hard it is to divide a birthday cake to everyone’s satisfaction. But it’s also because Procaccia’s work focuses on exploring the mathematical rules for dividing stuff up fairly.
For decades, researchers have been asking the seemingly simple question of how to cut a cake fairly. The answer reaches far beyond birthday parties. At its core, it’s a mathematical problem that reflects broader issues of fairness, and so draws interest from mathematicians, economists, and social scientists alike.
The simplest approach is called the “divider-chooser” method, where one person cuts the cake into two equal pieces in his view, and the other person picks first. Each receives a piece that they feel is as valuable as the other’s. But when personal preferences are taken into account, even the easiest rule becomes complicated. For example, Alice and Bob are to divide a cake, and Alice knows Bob prefers chocolate. She may knowingly divide the cake unequally so the smaller piece contains more chocolate. Then Bob will choose according to his preference, and Alice will get the larger piece. Both of them are satisfied with what they get, but the meaning of fairness changes in this situation.
The cake is a symbol for any divisible good. When cake-cutting principles are employed to settle disagreements, they are potentially helping the world find solutions. Procaccia has used fair division algorithms (算法) to model food distribution. Social scientist Haris Aziz is exploring situations ranging from how to divide up daily tasks to how to best schedule doctors’ shifts in hospitals.
Even after decades of investigation, cake-cutting isn’t like a simple jigsaw puzzle with a well-defined solution. Instead, over time, it has evolved into a kind of mathematical sandbox, a constructive playground that brings together abstract proofs and easy applications. The more researchers explore it, the more there is to explore.
8. Why is Procaccia interested in cake-cutting
A. Family duty and work focus. B. Cake art and professional quality.
C. Hobby drive and skill improvement. D. Status pursuit and economic benefits.
9. What can we learn about fairness from the example in paragraph 3
A. Its standard is stable. B. It prevents unequal division.
C. Its concept is complex. D. It dominates personal preferences.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning cake-cutting
A. The problems it produces. B. The details of its process.
C. The application of its rules. D. The harmony it symbolizes.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Cutting Cakes and Making Friends B. The Math Behind Fair Cake-cutting
C. Why Kids Always Argue Over Cakes D. A Sweet Way to Solve Math Problems
D
People pursuing perfection and those valuing being on time often don’t see eye to eye in the workplace. But according to a recent study, it is better to deliver a good-enough project on schedule rather than perfecting it through procrastination.
Researchers surveyed thousands of people in the U.S. and U.K, including managers and others whose jobs included evaluating others. They presented participants with the same examples of work, and then asked them to rate it. But first, they mentioned whether it was either submitted early, right at the deadline or late.
Respondents who were told it was late consistently rated the work as worse in quality than those who were told the same work was early or on time. The study also found there wasn’t much benefit to submitting work early since evaluators tended to rank work submitted before and at the deadline as the same quality. Furthermore, it didn’t matter how late the work was submitted, with one day or one week delays viewed just as negatively and that remained the case if the employee gave their manager advance warning.
A field experiment was conducted in a high school in China that had students grade pieces of art in a staged contest. The art was on a piece of paper that also included the date it was submitted. Even though the kids were told to ignore all other details on the paper other than the art itself, the works submitted after the deadline received lower grades. That study made the broader point that it didn’t really matter who set the deadline. In the eyes of the evaluator, any miss was a meaningful miss.
However, the reason behind the missed deadline mattered, researchers found. If it was due to forces beyond an employee’s control, evaluators didn’t end up with as negative a view of the work as they did when the reason was one within their control. “If the reason why you missed the deadline was beyond your control, you as the employee should let your manager know,” Maglio says. “That seems to be one of the few situations in which people cut you a break.”
12. What does the underlined word “procrastination” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Delay. B. Editing. C. Teamwork. D. Reviewing.
13. What can be concluded from the research result
A. Minimal delays get better evaluations. B. Preannounced delays get positive feedback.
C. Late submissions are more negatively judged. D. Submitting work early means a lot in evaluations.
14. What does the author want to show by mentioning the field experiment in China
A. Kids judge submissions more objectively. B. The art itself rather than other details counts.
C. A peer-to-peer evaluation can be informative. D. The finding holds true across age and culture.
15. What can be implied from the last paragraph
A. Employees get unfair reviews. B. A set deadline is absolutely unchangeable.
C. Bosses should care about employees. D. Employees should report unavoidable misses.

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。
Jason had a reputation as the messiest kid at Greenwood High School. His room was like a junkyard, with clothes tossed everywhere, empty chip bags on the floor, and half-finished sodas scattered across his desk. His mom, Susan, had stopped nagging (唠叨) him to clean up, hoping he himself would eventually get the hint. But instead, the mess just got worse.
Greenwood High School was famous for its creative projects, so when the headmaster Mr. Thompson declared a new “Labor Education” project, no one was too surprised. The idea was simple: teach students about hard work through real tasks. Jason wasn’t excited—he would rather play video games all day—but the project was a must; he had no choice.
Finally the day of the project came. It was gray and overcast, matching Jason’s mood as he dragged himself into the school’s lecture hall with his classmates, yawning and complaining. Mr. Thompson stood on stage with a speaker. “Today, we’re going to learn the importance of labor!” he exclaimed. Jason rolled his eyes when he was assigned to the gardening group with his best friend, Mike. Their job was to clear out the school’s overgrown front lawn and plant new flowers. They shared a look that said it all—this was going to be a long day.
As they started weeding, Jason quickly discovered how hard physical labor could be. The weeds were stubborn, and the leaves seemed to multiply every time he raked (耙) them. His back ached, his arms felt like jelly, and his hands blistered. While stretching, eager to sneak in a break, he spotted Mr. Thompson standing afar with a big smile from across the yard, giving him a big thumbs-up.
After lunch, the group moved to build simple things like birdhouses for the garden in the school’s maintenance house. Jason had two left hands at first—his hammering was a mess— but he slowly got better. By the end of the session, he managed to make a crooked but decent-looking birdhouse. Carrying his newly-made birdhouse around, Jason proudly showed it off to his classmates.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The last task of the day was to plant new flowers.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As the day ended, Jason walked back to his room.

They talk about the straw that broke the camel’s back, but for me really it should be the password that wiped out my memory bank.
I was going along fine with instant recall of my bank PIN, my mobile phone number and the date of my cousin’s birthday before I downloaded a gas station payment app for its new customer discount. It asked me to create a password. When I typed in “gas 1”, it was rejected for not being complex enough. I tried again: “I Hate Hearless Oil Companies@”. But that was too long and didn’t include “at least one number”. But here is the thing: as soon as I added the fresh password into my memory, I instantly forgot all the others. My brain had hit its limit for passwords. I now know nothing!
I had entered some passwords in a notebook. Of course, I didn’t write down the actual passwords, in case it fell into the wrong hands. Instead, I masked them in a way that only a family member could figure them out. For example, I combined my bank PIN with our postal code, then added it to a list of phone numbers. It would fool even Albert Einstein.
Maybe we need a system like the one we use to remember people’s names. You know, you form an association between a person’s characteristics and their name by whispering “Skinny George. Skinny George” in heart after meeting them. The risk is that, upon seeing him, you’ll burst out the phrase. “Skinny George” might not mind, but it’s possible “Boring Betty” will. As for remembering passwords as you change them, you could simply use the first and last letters of your favorite singer’s greatest hits, together with the year of their release.
Maybe I’ll try that one out, but only after describing the system in the notebook. Then I’ll hide it in such a secret place that even I won’t be able to find it later!

Ariel Procaccia has thought a lot about how to cut a cake over the last 15 years. As the father of three children, he knows how hard it is to divide a birthday cake to everyone’s satisfaction. But it’s also because Procaccia’s work focuses on exploring the mathematical rules for dividing stuff up fairly.
For decades, researchers have been asking the seemingly simple question of how to cut a cake fairly. The answer reaches far beyond birthday parties. At its core, it’s a mathematical problem that reflects broader issues of fairness, and so draws interest from mathematicians, economists, and social scientists alike.
The simplest approach is called the “divider-chooser” method, where one person cuts the cake into two equal pieces in his view, and the other person picks first. Each receives a piece that they feel is as valuable as the other’s. But when personal preferences are taken into account, even the easiest rule becomes complicated. For example, Alice and Bob are to divide a cake, and Alice knows Bob prefers chocolate. She may knowingly divide the cake unequally so the smaller piece contains more chocolate. Then Bob will choose according to his preference, and Alice will get the larger piece. Both of them are satisfied with what they get, but the meaning of fairness changes in this situation.
The cake is a symbol for any divisible good. When cake-cutting principles are employed to settle disagreements, they are potentially helping the world find solutions. Procaccia has used fair division algorithms (算法) to model food distribution. Social scientist Haris Aziz is exploring situations ranging from how to divide up daily tasks to how to best schedule doctors’ shifts in hospitals.
Even after decades of investigation, cake-cutting isn’t like a simple jigsaw puzzle with a well-defined solution. Instead, over time, it has evolved into a kind of mathematical sandbox, a constructive playground that brings together abstract proofs and easy applications. The more researchers explore it, the more there is to explore.
8. Why is Procaccia interested in cake-cutting
A. Family duty and work focus. B. Cake art and professional quality.
C. Hobby drive and skill improvement. D. Status pursuit and economic benefits.
9. What can we learn about fairness from the example in paragraph 3
A. Its standard is stable. B. It prevents unequal division.
C. Its concept is complex. D. It dominates personal preferences.
10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about concerning cake-cutting
A. The problems it produces. B. The details of its process.
C. The application of its rules. D. The harmony it symbolizes.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Cutting Cakes and Making Friends B. The Math Behind Fair Cake-cutting
C. Why Kids Always Argue Over Cakes D. A Sweet Way to Solve Math Problems
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了Ariel Procaccia对如何公平切蛋糕的研究，并探讨了切蛋糕这一看似简单的问题背后所涉及的数学规则和公平性问题。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“As the father of three children, he knows how hard it is to divide a birthday cake to everyone’s satisfaction. But it’s also because Procaccia’s work focuses on exploring the mathematical rules for dividing stuff up fairly.(作为三个孩子的父亲，他知道把生日蛋糕分得让每个人都满意是多么困难。但这也是因为Procaccia的工作重点是探索公平分配物品的数学规则。)”可知，Procaccia对切蛋糕感兴趣是因为家庭责任和工作重点。故选A。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“For example, Alice and Bob are to divide a cake, and Alice knows Bob prefers chocolate. She may knowingly divide the cake unequally so the smaller piece contains more chocolate. Then Bob will choose according to his preference, and Alice will get the larger piece. Both of them are satisfied with what they get, but the meaning of fairness changes in this situation.(例如，Alice和Bob要分一个蛋糕，Alice知道Bob更喜欢巧克力。她可能会故意把蛋糕分得不均匀，这样较小的一块就含有更多的巧克力。然后Bob会根据他的喜好来选择，Alice就会得到较大的一块。他们都对自己得到的东西感到满意，但在这种情况下，公平的含义发生了变化。)”可知，从第三段的例子中，我们可以了解到公平性的概念是复杂的。故选C。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“The cake is a symbol for any divisible good. When cake-cutting principles are employed to settle disagreements, they are potentially helping the world find solutions. Procaccia has used fair division algorithms to model food distribution. Social scientist Haris Aziz is exploring situations ranging from how to divide up daily tasks to how to best schedule doctors’ shifts in hospitals.(蛋糕是任何可分割物品的象征。当运用切蛋糕的原则来解决分歧时，它们有可能帮助世界找到解决方案。Procaccia已经使用公平分配算法来模拟食物分配。社会科学家Haris Aziz正在探索各种情况，从如何分配日常任务到如何最好地安排医院医生的轮班。)”可知，第四段主要讲的是切蛋糕规则的应用。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了Procaccia对如何公平切蛋糕的研究，并探讨了切蛋糕这一看似简单的问题背后所涉及的数学规则和公平性问题，由此可知，选项B“公平切蛋糕背后的数学”最适合作为文章的标题。故选B。
D
People pursuing perfection and those valuing being on time often don’t see eye to eye in the workplace. But according to a recent study, it is better to deliver a good-enough project on schedule rather than perfecting it through procrastination.
Researchers surveyed thousands of people in the U.S. and U.K, including managers and others whose jobs included evaluating others. They presented participants with the same examples of work, and then asked them to rate it. But first, they mentioned whether it was either submitted early, right at the deadline or late.
Respondents who were told it was late consistently rated the work as worse in quality than those who were told the same work was early or on time. The study also found there wasn’t much benefit to submitting work early since evaluators tended to rank work submitted before and at the deadline as the same quality. Furthermore, it didn’t matter how late the work was submitted, with one day or one week delays viewed just as negatively and that remained the case if the employee gave their manager advance warning.
A field experiment was conducted in a high school in China that had students grade pieces of art in a staged contest. The art was on a piece of paper that also included the date it was submitted. Even though the kids were told to ignore all other details on the paper other than the art itself, the works submitted after the deadline received lower grades. That study made the broader point that it didn’t really matter who set the deadline. In the eyes of the evaluator, any miss was a meaningful miss.
However, the reason behind the missed deadline mattered, researchers found. If it was due to forces beyond an employee’s control, evaluators didn’t end up with as negative a view of the work as they did when the reason was one within their control. “If the reason why you missed the deadline was beyond your control, you as the employee should let your manager know,” Maglio says. “That seems to be one of the few situations in which people cut you a break.”
12. What does the underlined word “procrastination” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Delay. B. Editing. C. Teamwork. D. Reviewing.
13 What can be concluded from the research result
A. Minimal delays get better evaluations. B. Preannounced delays get positive feedback.
C. Late submissions are more negatively judged. D. Submitting work early means a lot in evaluations.
14. What does the author want to show by mentioning the field experiment in China
A. Kids judge submissions more objectively. B. The art itself rather than other details counts.
C. A peer-to-peer evaluation can be informative. D. The finding holds true across age and culture.
15. What can be implied from the last paragraph
A. Employees get unfair reviews. B. A set deadline is absolutely unchangeable.
C. Bosses should care about employees. D. Employees should report unavoidable misses.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项研究表明准时提交质量不错的项目比拖延追求完美更好。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中“But according to a recent study, it is better to deliver a good-enough project on schedule rather than perfecting it through procrastination. (但根据最近的一项研究，最好是按时交付一个足够好的项目，而不是通过procrastination来完善它)”可知，按时交付项目比拖延来完善项目更好，所以procrastination的意思是“拖延”，与Delay意思相近。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Respondents who were told it was late consistently rated the work as worse in quality than those who were told the same work was early or on time. (被告知工作迟交的受访者一致认为，这项工作的质量比被告知工作早交或按时交的受访者更差)”可知，研究结果表明，迟交的工作得到的评价更负面。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Respondents who were told it was late consistently rated the work as worse in quality than those who were told the same work was early or on time. (被告知工作迟交的受访者一致认为，这项工作的质量比被告知工作早交或按时交的受访者更差)”、第四段中“A field experiment was conducted in a high school in China that had students grade pieces of art in a staged contest. The art was on a piece of paper that also included the date it was submitted. Even though the kids were told to ignore all other details on the paper other than the art itself, the works submitted after the deadline received lower grades. (在中国的一所高中进行了一项实地实验，让学生们在一次分阶段的比赛中给艺术品打分。艺术品印在一张纸上，上面还写着提交日期。尽管孩子们被告知要忽略除艺术品本身以外的所有其他细节，但逾期提交的作品得分较低)”可知，通过提到中国的实地实验，作者想表明这个发现适用于不同的年龄和文化。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If it was due to forces beyond an employee’s control, evaluators didn’t end up with as negative a view of the work as they did when the reason was one within their control. “If the reason why you missed the deadline was beyond your control, you as the employee should let your manager know,” Maglio says. (如果这是由于员工无法控制的因素造成的，评估人员对工作的看法就不会像原因在他们控制范围内时那么负面。Maglio说：“如果你错过最后期限的原因超出了你的控制范围，作为员工，你应该让你的经理知道”)”可知，如果员工错过最后期限的原因是无法控制的，那么他们应该让经理知道，即员工应该报告不可避免的失误。故选D。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章描述了画家丰子恺童年学习绘画的经历，同时提到了儿童对绘画的兴趣以及美术教育的重要性。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：画家丰子恺（1898-1975）在他1934年撰写的文章中回忆了他童年时学习绘画的启蒙经历。此处为状语从句的省略，完整的从句为while he was penning his article in 1934，当从句主语和主语主语一致，且从句有be时，可省略的主语和be，本句省略he和was，保留现在分词。故填penning。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：当他学习中国诗歌和《三字经》时，他发现自己被插图所吸引，而不是被文字所吸引。句中已有谓语动词found，空处应用非谓语动词，seize与he之间为被动关系，过去分词作宾补。故填seized。

【41题详解】
考查连词。句意：李宏波说：“这些现象可以成为孩子们学习绘画的门户，并表明其他学科的教科书有助于基础美术教育。”根据句意可知，“serve as a gateway”和“reveal that...”是并列关系，共同说明这些现象的作用，所以用and连接。故填and。

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。
Jason had a reputation as the messiest kid at Greenwood High School. His room was like a junkyard, with clothes tossed everywhere, empty chip bags on the floor, and half-finished sodas scattered across his desk. His mom, Susan, had stopped nagging (唠叨) him to clean up, hoping he himself would eventually get the hint. But instead, the mess just got worse.
Greenwood High School was famous for its creative projects, so when the headmaster Mr. Thompson declared a new “Labor Education” project, no one was too surprised. The idea was simple: teach students about hard work through real tasks. Jason wasn’t excited—he would rather play video games all day—but the project was a must; he had no choice.
Finally, the day of the project came. It was gray and overcast, matching Jason’s mood as he dragged himself into the school’s lecture hall with his classmates, yawning and complaining. Mr. Thompson stood on stage with a speaker. “Today, we’re going to learn the importance of labor!” he exclaimed. Jason rolled his eyes when he was assigned to the gardening group with his best friend, Mike. Their job was to clear out the school’s overgrown front lawn and plant new flowers. They shared a look that said it all—this was going to be a long day.
As they started weeding, Jason quickly discovered how hard physical labor could be. The weeds were stubborn, and the leaves seemed to multiply every time he raked (耙) them. His back ached, his arms felt like jelly, and his hands blistered. While stretching, eager to sneak in a break, he spotted Mr. Thompson standing afar with a big smile from across the yard, giving him a big thumbs-up.
After lunch the group moved to build simple things like birdhouses for the garden in the school’s maintenance house. Jason had two left hands at first—his hammering was a mess— but he slowly got better. By the end of the session, he managed to make a crooked but decent-looking birdhouse. Carrying his newly-made birdhouse around, Jason proudly showed it off to his classmates.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The last task of the day was to plant new flowers.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As the day ended, Jason walked back to his room.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The last task of the day was to plant new flowers. Jason and Mike were given a variety of colorful flower bulbs to plant. Despite their initial reluctance, they found a rhythm as they dug holes, placed the bulbs, and covered them with soil. The repetitive motion of planting began to feel therapeutic, and Jason even started to enjoy the earthy smell of the freshly turned soil. Each flower they planted represented a small victory, and by the time they finished, the once-overgrown lawn looked vibrant and alive.
As the day ended, Jason walked back to his room. His room, usually a source of stress, now seemed too cluttered and disorganized. Inspired by the day’s activities, Jason decided to tackle the mess himself. He started by picking up the scattered clothes and organizing them in his closet. Next, he collected the empty chip bags and threw them away, and finally, he cleaned up the half-finished sodas from his desk. By the time he finished, his room looked almost unrecognizable—clean and tidy. Jason smiled, realizing that the labor education project had not only taught him about hard work but also about the value of taking care of his own space.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Jason是格林伍德高中公认的邋遢学生，他的房间混乱不堪。尽管他的母亲Susan希望他能自我觉醒，但情况却日益恶化。学校推出“劳动教育”项目，旨在通过实际劳动教育学生。Jason虽不情愿，但被迫参与，被分配到园艺小组。在除草的过程中，他体验到了劳动的艰辛，背部疼痛，手臂无力，双手起泡。午饭后，他参与建造鸟舍，从笨手笨脚到逐渐熟练，最终完成了一个歪歪扭扭但看起来很体面的鸟舍，带着自豪的心情向同学们展示自己的作品。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“这一天的最后一项任务是种新的花”可知，第一段可描写Jason种植花的过程，一开始觉得困难，后来逐渐适应，以及种植完成后的成果。
②由第二段首句内容“一天结束了，Jason走回自己的房间”可知，第二段可描写Jason开始着手整理自己的房间，以及整理完成后的感悟。
2. 续写线索：种植花——从困难到适应——成果——回到房间——整理房间——感悟
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①发现：find/discover

③代表：represent/stand for
④处理：tackle/handle/manage
⑤意识到：realize/recognize
情绪类

【点睛】[高分句型1] Despite their initial reluctance, they found a rhythm as they dug holes, placed the bulbs, and covered them with soil. (as引导时间状语从句)
[高分句型2] Jason smiled, realizing that the labor education project had not only taught him about hard work but also about the value of taking care of his own space. (现在分词realizing作状语、that引导宾语从句)
