The Happiest Place on Earth may soon be welcoming visitors again. On Wednesday, Disney CEO Bob Chapek announced that Shanghai Disneyland will reopen on May 11. But one of the new safety measures is phased (分阶段的) reopening. This means Disney will begin by gradually and partially reopening certain locations.
If you've ever been to a Disney theme park, especially during peak days, you know how crowded it can get and how necessary FastPasses are. On a "normal day" at Disneyland, park attendance is 65,000 people, according to Walt Disney Imagineering director Kim Irvine. So physical distancing and capacity measures are major focuses as Disney prepares to reopen. Dr. Hymel says that Disney will "conduct physical distancing guidelines based on guidance from health authorities."
The new measures will likely include a guest capacity (容量) based on state and federal guidelines. Disney is also exploring ways technology can help with social distancing-experiments in this aspect include using virtual queues at Disneyland and Walt Disney World in advance.
Other new measures include increased cleaning of high traffic areas. Disney will follow guidelines from the medical community and the government for improved screening procedures and prevention measures; this means guests will likely need facial masks. Disney Parks have already adopted new measures such as providing hand soaps and setting up hand washing stations.
Shanghai Disneyland has sold out all tickets for May 11. The theme park said that all tickets were gone in a matter of minutes after sales started at 8 am on Friday.
1. In order to reopen, Disney has decided to take some measures EXCEPT_________
A. following guidance from authorities
B. advocating waiting in line for tickets
C. cleaning high traffic areas more often
D. providing convenience for hand-wash
2. This passage is mainly about _________
A. the great popularity of Disney parks
B. the phased opening of Disney parks .
C. the new measures of Disney parks
D. the great changes of Disney parks
【答案】1. B 2. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了迪士尼乐园为了重新开放,都采取了哪些新的措施。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。本题需要我们判断出为了重新开放,迪士尼决定采取的措施中不包括选项中的哪一项?根据第三段关键句“Disney is also exploring ways technology can help with social distancing-experiments in this aspect include using virtual queues at Disneyland and Walt Disney World in advance.”可知,迪士尼决定提前在迪士尼乐园和沃尔特迪士尼世界采用虚拟排队的科技。由此可推断出,迪士尼决定采取的措施中不包括提倡排队买票这一项措施。故选B项。
【2题详解】
主旨大意题。浏览全文,根据第三段关键句“The new measures will likely include a guest capacity (容量) based on state and federal guidelines.”(新措施可能包括根据州政府和联邦政府的指导方针确定客流量)和第四段关键句“Other new measures include increased cleaning of high traffic areas.”(其他的新措施包括加强对交通繁忙地区的清洁)可知,文章主要讲的是为了重新开放,迪士尼乐园都采取了哪些新的措施。故选C项。
B
Children with long-term health conditions, such as asthma (哮喘), may be at greater risk of developing a mental health disorder in early adolescence compared to healthy children, according to a new study.
The findings, published in the journal Development and Psychopathology, show that kids with
chronic illness exhibit higher rates of mental problems at age 10, and these health issues continue to be associated with poor mental health at ages 13 and 15.
In the study, the research team reviewed a sample of approximately 7,000 children to investigate the occurrence of mental health disorders, including anxiety or depression, and chronic illness. They found that children with chronic health conditions were approximately twice as likely at 10 and at 13 to present with a mental health disorder than healthy children. At age 15, children with chronic health problems were 60% more likely to present with such disorders.
“Although the link between chronic health conditions and mental health problems in childhood has been made before, this study provides the strongest evidence of it to data in the years of late childhood and early adolescence," said study author Dr. Ann Marie Brady. “The difference chronic illness makes to mental health is concerning, and the first impact can be seen even before adolescence, in late childhood."
The researchers also found that bullying and health-related absence from school were two most significant additional factors for children with mental health issues. The second one was identified as the most consistent factor predicting mental health problems over time.
“If children with chronic illness are more likely to miss school, or experience bullying, that can make the situation worse. Keeping an eye on school attendance and looking out for evidence of bullying amongst those children may help to find out who are most at risk.", said Dr. Brady.
3. The underlined term “chronic illness" in Paragraph 2 refers to a kind of disease_________
A. causing a lot of deaths B. causing absent-mindedness
C. lasting for a long time D. leading to mental disorders
4. By the findings of this study, we know that_________
A. chronic illness leads to the mental health disorder in early adolescence
B. healthy young adolescents have no chance of having mental problems
C. adolescents with illness are more likely to develop mental health disorders
D. chronic illness has some relation to mental problems in early adolescence
5. What is special about this study?
A. It makes a new discovery based on the findings of previous studies
B. It draws a more accurate conclusion based on the previous studies
C. It questions the accuracy of the findings by the previous studies
D. It draws more attention to adolescents' health than previous studies
6. Which of the following can best help to decide if children with chronic illness tend to have mental problems?
A. Their school attendance. B. Their physical conditions.
C. Their tolerance of bullying. D. Their tendency for bullying.
【答案】3. C 4. D 5. B 6. A
【解析】
本文是说明文。一项新的研究发现,与健康的儿童相比,有长期健康状况的儿童在青春期早期可能患精神疾病的风险更大。
【3题详解】
词句猜测题。文章第一段提到“Children with long-term health conditions(有长期健康问题的孩子)”,划线词后的句子“…exhibit higher rates of mental problems at age 10, and these health issues continue to be associated with poor mental health at ages 13 and 15.(患有这种疾病的孩子在10岁时出现精神问题的几率更高,而这些健康问题在13岁和15岁时仍然与精神健康不佳有关。)”可知,这些健康问题持续的时间可能会从10岁到13——15岁,持续的时间比较长。因此可以推测,“chronic illness”是指持续时间比较长的慢性疾病。故选C项。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中Dr. Ann Marie Brady所说的话“Although the link between chronic health conditions and mental health problems in childhood has been made before, this study provides the strongest evidence of it to data in the years of late childhood and early adolescence(虽然以前就有人提出过儿童时期的慢性健康状况和心理健康问题之间的联系,但这项研究为儿童晚期和青春期早期的数据提供了最有力的证据。)”可知,通过这项研究,可以得知慢性疾病与儿童晚期和青少年早期的心理问题有关。文章中“the link between… and…”与选项D中“has some relation to…”语义相符。总选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。文章第四段中提到“Although the link between chronic health conditions and mental health problems in childhood has been made before, this study provides the strongest evidence of it …(虽然以前就有人提出过儿童时期的慢性健康状况和心理健康问题之间的联系,但这项研究提供了最有力的证据。)”,第五段中提到“The researchers also found that bullying and health-related absence from school were two most significant additional factors for
children with mental health issues.(研究人员还发现,欺凌和与健康相关的缺课是有心理健康问题的儿童的两个最重要的附加因素。)”。根据其中的“this study provides the strongest evidence…”和“The researchers also found that …”可以推断,这项研究在之前的研究基础上得出了更有力的证据,从而得出了更准确的结论。故选B项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“The researchers also found that bullying and health-related absence from school were two most significant additional factors for children with mental health issues. The second one was identified as the most consistent factor predicting mental health problems over time. ( 研究人员还发现,欺凌和与健康相关的缺课是有心理健康问题的儿童的两个最重要的附加因素。第二个因素被认为是预测精神健康问题的最一致的因素。)可知,关注孩子由于健康问题而不能上学的情况能够最好地帮助判断预测儿童是否会有精神问题。故选A项。
C
It was early in 1981 when I first met George. I was in my early 30s, seeking a creative outlet unrelated to the boredom of housework and raising little kids. At 65, George had recently retired and was seeking a rewarding hobby for his golden years. For both of us, painting was “it” and we met at a local TAFE painting class. Thus began a friendship that was to last for 25 years- -until the day he died.
George was a man who lived life to the full. He worked hard, played hard and had an opinion about everything. As a slim and energetic man, he took pride in his fitness and walked more than three kilometers every day. “I'd no more go without my walk than without changing my underwear. “He’d say.
As the only male in a painting class full of women, George ruled the roost and we were his hens. He adored his singular role and looked after his brood with the same attention he gave to everything.
He took to painting with passion and commitment, even changing the spare bedroom of his home into a studio. His painting equipment was comprehensive- an easel, quality paints, linseed oil, turpentine, brushes, palette, canvases, charcoal pencils, fixative, palette knives- even a rolling pin for removing air bubbles when gluing.
For about six years George and I studied together through various units until the completion of the course and other commitments drew us apart, though we always maintained personal contact as we lived within a couple of kilometers of each other. I'd sometimes see him on his daily walk or at
the local shops and occasionally we' d touch base with a“proper”afternoon tea.
Fast-forward some years and George was now about 80 years old. He rang one day and asked me to come to his house, saying he needed to ask me something. George explained that he was giving up painting and giving away all his “stuff". Everything- -paints, boards, canvases, completed works and rolling pin! “I can't paint, Bev.” He declared in the manner of a child who had to say farewell to his favorite toy.“ You have the best talent and are most likely to use it," he said.
After considerable persuasion, I accepted this precious gift on condition that he could reclaim it at any time. He never did, of course, and I still use much of his equipment today, more than 20 years later. As I paint, I often remember George and his big personality.
7. The friendship between George and the writer started because_________
A. they thought painting was characterized by creativity
B they appreciated each other for their painting ability
C. they thought painting was a great way of killing time
D. they shared happiness in their local painting class
8. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 indicates that_________
A. George walked too hard to change his underwear
B. George viewed his walk as a great way to keep fit
C. George had his opinion of changing his underwear
D. George had to walk hard daily to live life to the full
9. The rolling pin is mentioned in Paragraph 4 to show that_________
A. George was passionate about painting
B. George was cautious about his painting
C. George was skilled with his painting
D. George was fond of its use in painting
10. Which of the following can NOT reflect George’s “big personality “in the last paragraph?
A. “He worked hard, played hard and had an opinion about everything" (Paragraph 2)
B. “As the only male ... George ruled the roost and we were his hens." (Paragraph 3)
C. “I’d sometimes see him on his daily walk .... afternoon tea." (Paragraph 5)
D. “He declared in the manner of a child who ... his favorite toy." (Paragraph 6)
【答案】7. D 8. B 9. A 10. C
【解析】
这是一篇人物传记类记叙文。本文通过作者和乔治的接触以及对乔治的了解和一生的事迹进行了记叙说明。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。结合第一段For both of us, painting was “it” and we met at a local TAFE painting class. Thus began a friendship that was to last for 25 years- -until the day he died“对于我们两人来说,画画是机缘,我们相遇在一家TAFE 画画班,因此我们开始了一段持续直到他死去的的长达25年的友谊”和第三段的As the only male in a painting class full of women, George ruled the roost and we were his hens.“乔治作为班里唯一的男性一直充当头头,而我们只是他的属下。”描述,可以推断出作者和George在绘画班相遇,后在与他相处的过程中十分快乐,从而发展了友谊。故选D。
【8题详解】
句义猜测题。联系前一句话As a slim and energetic man, he took pride in his fitness and walked more than three kilometers every day.“作为一个身材好,精力充沛的男人,他自豪于自己的良好身材,每天步行超过3公里路程。”可以推断出该句是George对走路这种锻炼方式的评价。该句可译作“我(每天)都不能不走路(锻炼),正如我(每天)都不能不换内衣裤一样。”故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。该题考查学生的主题句意识。even a rolling pin for removing air bubbles when gluing“即便是一根为了在胶水胶东西移除气泡用的曲型针 。这个细节再次点明前面主题句He took to painting with passion and commitment, “他是带着激情和责任去画画的”。这个主题正好切合选项A中所说“George was passionate about painting乔治对画画充满激情”,再次点明主题。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。选项A、B和D都从不同侧面反映出George的big personality性格特点,即热爱生活、合作友爱和自我释怀,C项只是客观描述事实而已。故选C。
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。
College helps students dream of more than a salary
From the earliest days of our country, education has been seen as the foundation for our future. ___11___ . Is investing in a college or university education still worth it?
___12___. Students who graduate from college can expect to make about 60% more than those who do not, well over a million dollars over a lifetime. But what about the benefits of college that are more difficult to measure?
College is a passport to different places, different times, and different ways of thinking - - from learning new languages to considering the arc of human history to diving deep into the building blocks of matter. It gives students a chance to understand themselves differently.
___13___, One of the most important ways students learn at college is by interacting with people who are different from themselves. I recall a freshman who wasn't sure if he would ft in at a new college far away from his hometown. However, one night he found himself debating about the characteristics that define a real hero with other admitted students from around the world. ___14___, but the differences were what made the conversation exciting, and he realized how much he could learn at a place full of engaging people with a wide range of viewpoints.
College teaches students the virtue of slowing down. No one denies the value of speed, connectivity and the virtual world in an economy that thrives (繁荣) on all three. But “thinking" is a word that is too often forgotten. College teaches students to slow down, to change information into insight and knowing into understanding. ___15___. The result is that students grow in knowledge and in wisdom for a lifetime.
To conclude, investing in a college or university education is well worth it.
A. College introduces students to a new world
B. Yet its value is being increasingly questioned
C. It remains the same nowadays
D. It develops critical thinking
E. They had a heated discussion
F. Not everyone agreed
G. College education financially pays off
【答案】11. B 12. G 13. A 14. F 15. D
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了接受大学教育的必要性。总之,投资于大学教育是值得的。
【11题详解】
根据上文提示“从我国建国之初,教育就被视为我们未来的基础。”再根据空格下文“投资大学教育是否值得?”由此可知,B项Yet its value is being increasingly questioned.(然而,它的价值正日益受到质疑。)中的yet“然而”,与上文构成转折,且该项引出下文的质疑。故选B。
【12题详解】
该项是第二段的主题句。根据下文提示“大学毕业的学生有望比未毕业的人多挣60%左右,一生的收入远远超过100万美元。”由此可知,G项College education financially pays off.(大学教育在经济上是值得的。)切题。该项中的pays off“得到回报”与下句的make about 60% more than those who do not, well over a million dollars over a lifetime相吻合。故选G。
【13题详解】
该句是第四段的主题句。根据下文提示“学生在大学最重要的学习方式之一就是与与自己不同的人交往。”由此可知,A项College introduces students to a new world.(大学向学生介绍了一个新的世界。)切题。该项中的a new world与下文中的interacting with people who are different from themselves相吻合。故选A。
【14题详解】
根据第4空后的提示“但是,正是这种差异让谈话变得令人兴奋,他意识到,在一个充满各种观点、引人入胜的人的地方,他能学到多少东西。”空后句中的but表示转折,由此可知,F项Not everyone agreed(不是每个人都同意)切题。故选F。
【15题详解】
根据上文提示“大学教会学生放慢脚步,将信息转化为洞察力,将了解转化为理解。”由此可知,D项It develops critical thinking.(它能培养批判性思维。)该项中的it指代的是College,其中关键词是“thinking”。故选D。

【20题详解】
推理判断题。阅读小说,并结合第九章中My good self and my evil self were fighting for my mind and body-and my evil self was winning.可知,Jekyll是善良化身,而Hyde是邪恶的代表,这是以一个人的两种性格体现,由此判断出,“Jekyll and Hyde"现在被用来指一个前后不一致,即矛盾体contradiction。故选C。

【答案】41. (1). try (2). out
42. (1). broken/split (2). up
43. (1). expose (2). to
44. (1). was (2). he
45. (1). it (2). that
【解析】
【41题详解】
考查固定短语。根据句意和句子结构,空格处对应的是句意中“试验”的意思,try sth. out意为“试验……”,为固定短语,符合句意。且本句为祈使句,Don't后面接动词原形。故填
try; out。
【42题详解】
考查时态和固定短语。根据句意和句子结构,空格处对应的是句意中“分道扬镳”的意思,break up意为“分手”,为固定短语,符合句意。根据句中Since the quarrel last year可知,句子为现在完成时,句式为“主语+have/has+动词过去分词”,故空格处的动词应用过去分词形式,break的过去分词为broken,故填broken up。以同样的思路分析,split up也意为“分手”,但要注意split的过去分词还是split,故也可填split up。故填broken up/split up。
【43题详解】
考查固定短语。根据句意和句子结构,空格处对应的是句意中“暴露在……下”的意思,expose sb. to …意为“把某人暴露在……下”,为固定短语,符合句意。且本句为祈使句,Do not后面接动词原形。故填expose; to。
【44题详解】
考查倒装句和时态。根据句意和句子结构,Not until(直到……才……)位于句首时,句子要用倒装,句式为“Not until+从句+助动词+(主句)主语+谓语+其他”,根据句意,主从句主语一致,为he,句中涉及短语be aware of…意为“意识到……”,为固定短语。根据句意和句中关键词saw可判定句子为一般过去时,且主句主语为he,故be动词应用was。故填was he。
【45题详解】
考查强调句。根据句意和句子结构,本句为强调句,被强调的成分是句子主语his fault,强调句句式为“It is/was+被强调部分+that+句子剩余部分”,如果被强调的部分是人,可以用who代替that。本句中强调的部分是物,应用that。故填it; that。
第三节(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
There are plenty of benefits to having an older brother. However, a new study finds an interesting disadvantage: with an older brother___46___ (come) the poor language development of his younger siblings (兄弟姐妹).
The study is based upon some research which shows that having older siblings___47___ (link) with poor language development. Now researchers have reached a more specific conclusion: only children with an older brother exhibit these language___48___ (difficult).
Researchers studied more than 1,000 children from birth to the age of five-and-a-half years old.
Each child's language skills were tested at ages 2, 3, and 5.5, using tests specially ___49___ (design) to measure numerous aspects of language development.___50___ they discovered was significant: compared with children having an older sister, those with an older brother had,___51___ average, a two-month delay in their language development.
As for explaining this phenomenon, researchers have put ___52___ two assumptions._ ___53___ is that older sisters tend to talk more often than older brothers; the other is that older sisters usually compete with their siblings___54___ (little) than older brothers for their parents' attention.
Today, the whole picture of this phenomenon still remains____55____ (explore).
【答案】46. comes
47. is linked
48. difficulties
49. designed
50. What 51. on
52. forward/forth/up
53. One 54. less
55. to be explored
【解析】
本文是一篇科普说明文。主要讲了一项新的研究发现了一个有趣的现象: 哥哥会影响弟弟妹妹的语言发展。
【46题详解】
考查动词。句意:一项新的研究发现了一个有趣的缺点: 如果有一个哥哥,他的弟弟妹妹的语言发展就会很差。分析“with an older brother ___1___ (come) the poor language development of his younger siblings ”句子结构可知介词短语放在句首,句子要用倒装结构,真正的主语是the poor language development of …,是一个单数主语,结合上下文,谓语用一般现在时,根据主谓一致原则可知答案为comes。
【47题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:这项研究基于一些研究,这些研究表明,有年长的兄弟姐妹与语言发展不良有关。分析“having older siblings ___2___ (link) with poor language development.”的句子结构可知空格处填谓语,主语having older siblings与link
之间是被动关系,结合上下文时态和主谓一致原则,可知正确答案为is linked。
【48题详解】
考查名词。句意:现在研究人员得出了一个更具体的结论: 有哥哥的独生子女表现出这些语言障碍。空格前有指示代词these,可知空格处要填复数名词,故答案为difficulties。
【49题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:研究人员研究了1000多名儿童,从出生到5岁半。 每个孩子的语言能力分别在2岁、3岁和5.5岁时进行测试,使用专门设计的测试来衡量语言发展的许多方面。分析“using tests specially ___4___ (design) to measure numerous aspects of language development”这一部分的结构可知,specially ___4___ (design) 是tests一词的后置定语,名词tests 与design之间为被动关系,所以用过去分词形式,故答案为designed。
【50题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:他们的发现意义重大。分析“___5___ they discovered was significant”这句的句子结构可知was之前是主语部分,主语部分是一个缺少宾语的主语从句,缺少的宾语,指物,故答案为What。
【51题详解】
考查介词短语。句意:那些有哥哥的孩子,他们的语言发展平均会延迟两个月。average一般与介词on连用构成固定短语on average,意为:平均,故答案为on。
【52题详解】
考查介词。句意:研究人员提出了两个假设。没有提示词词,考虑填冠词、介词、代词等,put为动词,考虑填介词,结合语义此处要表达“提出”这一含义,put与介词forward/forth/up连用均有“提出”的意思,故答案为forward/forth/up。
【53题详解】
考查不定代词。句意:一是姐姐比哥哥说话更频繁。根据下文“the other…”可知此处考查固定短语“one…, the other…一个…,另一个…(一方面……另一方面……)”故答案为One。
【54题详解】
考查形容词的比较级。句意:另一个原因是姐姐们通常不像哥哥们那样与兄弟姐妹争夺父母的注意力。 根据空格后的than可知此处要填形容词的比较级,故答案为less。
【55题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:直到今天,这种现象的全貌仍有待探索。remains为谓语成分,则空格处填非谓语动词,表示去做将要做的事用非谓语的to do形式,this phenomenon与
explore是逻辑上被动关系,故要用to do被动形式to be done,故答案为to be explored。

第二节读后续写(满分 25分)
57.阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成-一个完整的故事。
I walked to Mrs. Windsor's house and waited outside. She was working with another student, and I was not supposed to bother them by ringing the bell. 1 stood against the wall and daydreamed what I'd rather be doing. I had been tutored enough to read, understand, and even write some musical compositions, but I just didn't have a gift for it. Mrs. Windsor had offered to give me the lessons for free, so I felt my duty to try.
The door opened and Wendy Barton came out. 1 walked in, sat down on the piano bench and began to sort through my sheet music. Today Mrs. Windsor introduced her niece Pasha to teach me.
With a smile, Pasha sat beside me on the piano bench, opened my sheet music to the beginning page and asked me to play. I arranged my fingers on the keys. Then I frowned(皱眉) and concentrated to make the notes on the page match the finger movements. I had to admit I was a rather mechanical (呆板的) pianist.
After about a page or two, Pasha gently put her hand on top of mine as if to calm my fingers. There was a long pause. “What are you hearing in the music?" 1 looked at her rather strangely and admitted I didn't know what she meant. “Like a story. Here, let me try and you listen," Pasha advised.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, letting her fingers dance lightly over the keys. Then, she began to play. “See, it begins here beside some kind of river. Hear the water flowing beside you?" Her fingers rose and fell gently on the keys. “Now a princess appears and she's picking flowers from the water's edge." A happy piece of music filled the air in time to Pasha's dancing fingers.

Paragraph 1:
Suddenly the music changed.
________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
That day means a lot in my musical life.
________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Suddenly the music changed. With her fingers hitting the keys harder, I sensed something dangerous getting closer to the princess. “Now the princess has slipped into the river and is being carried away by the rough water.” Pasha explained. At this moment, I felt myself sweating all over and my heart was beating faster. After a while, the pace of the music became slower and slower. “What is happening?” I asked. “The princess is saved by a fisherman.” She smiled. Hearing these
words, I let out a sigh of relief.
That day means a lot in my musical life. Pasha’s way of teaching made a great difference to my understanding of music. Actually, it was her story that made me fall in love with music. Nowadays, whenever I play a piece of music on the piano, I become completely lost in my music. I know that I’m not only playing the music to the audience, but also having the world listen to my stories.
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是作者和Mrs. Windsor的侄女Pasha学弹钢琴的故事。Pasha的教学方式对我对音乐的理解产生了很大的影响。事实上,是她的故事让作者爱上了音乐。
【详解】1.第一段给出的首句是Suddenly the music changed.这一句是故事发展的转折点。可以从“她的手指使劲敲击着琴键,我感觉到有危险的东西正在靠近公主。”入手扩展开去,——无论从何角度拓展,需注意与续写第二段首句呼应。
2.第二段所给首句That day means a lot in my musical life.这一句呼应前文,紧接着可以从“帕夏的教学方式对我对音乐的理解产生了很大的影响。事实上,是她的故事让我爱上了音乐。”入手续写。
【点睛】这是一篇续写。文章段落衔接紧密,句与句之间环环相扣,同时文中使用高级句子。With her fingers hitting the keys harder, I sensed something dangerous getting closer to the princess.句中使用with的独立主格结构;Now the princess has slipped into the river and is being carried away by the rough water.句中使用现在进行时态的被动语态;Hearing these words, I let out a sigh of relief.现在分词作时间状语;Nowadays, whenever I play a piece of music on the piano, I become completely lost in my music.句中使用whenever引导的状语从句。
