A few years ago, I stood underneath a red overhanging cliff near my hometown. The weather was amazing. Deer chewed on the brown grasses by the river below. An eagle rode the wind. Townsfolk and visitors wandered in a nearby hot spring.
I was tied in, ready to climb. I was attempting to do a route first try, "onsight," as we call it, which means I didn't know what I was climbing into. It would have been a hard onsight for me to onsight hard climbs. You need clarity. No interference.
Just as I was about to climb, nerves in my body, which I hadn't felt yet, said hello. That's not good for any athlete. Desperate, I painted a coat of confidence on my inner walls of doubt. I visualized myself at the top, celebrating. "You can do this," I firmly told myself. "If you believe, success is certain."
It didn't work. I fell near the top. Defeated, I lowered to the ground and realized powerfully that the desire to climb the route had kept me from doing it. My self-worth was bound together by my success or failure at that moment, and that set off a chain reaction: unnatural desire, pressure, performance anxiety, anticipation, a mind fascinated with the top but a body struggling below, bad decision-making, irregular movement, distraction, frustration. All in that order, too.
In a flash, I told myself that on my next attempt, success or failure was irrelevant. "Make one move at a time. That's all." I gave myself a pass from whatever would happen. It worked. I floated to the top with self-control and clarity.
That moment got me thinking. At some point, I framed this experience for myself in terms of simple mathematics. When I added determination, courage, self-confidence and desire, I failed. When I took away the desire for success, I improved. I enjoyed it more as well, which, as an athlete of 30 years, I didn't think was possible. Eventually, I discovered the power of subtraction.
24．What can we infer from the author's first attempt
A．He managed to reach the top of the cliff.
B．He fully knew what he was climbing into.
C．He was confident in his own ability to get over obstacles.
D．He employed mental practice in order to overcome his nervousness.
25．What is the author's purpose in writing Paragraph 4
A．To list his shortcomings.
B．To give background information.
C．To describe a social phenomenon.
D．To explain the reason for his failure.
26．Which of the following can best describe the author
A．Determined and sensible. B．Optimistic and humorous.
C．Modest and conservative. D．Aggressive and stubborn.
27．What is conveyed in the text
A．Every dog has its day.
B．Sharp tools make good work.
C．Go into battle with a light pack.
D．Every cloud has a silver lining.

Feel exhausted after a party Rather see one close friend than a group of acquaintances Enjoy your own company In our world, that makes you an introvert (内向的人). However, there's another possible explanation—vertical attachment. If you are closer to your parents and family members than to your peers, you are vertically attached, which means you rely more on family for comfort.
If you are closer to your peers, then you are peer attached. We live in a peer-oriented world. We believe that having lots of friends means that we are well-adjusted. We put our kids in playgroups and daycare for peer interaction. We expect teenagers to want to hang out with their friends, thinking it is the natural way of things.
Result Generations often feel worlds apart. We use different language, dress, and technology apps. Even if multiple generations are invited to the same party, the kids go to the basement playroom while the parents stay upstairs.
Vertically-attached individuals can feel out of place in this context, demonstrating the traces of introversion. Will they be exhausted after a party with same-aged acquaintances Absolutely. Would they rather spend time with one close friend Sure. Do they enjoy alone time Yes, more than they enjoy time fitting in with peers.
It's normal that many people need alone time to recharge. However, vertically-attached people often label themselves as introverted. They feel insecure that others have more friends and live richer lives. They claim that their family attachments arise from their loved ones being stuck with them.
If you feel these insecurities, know that there is nothing wrong with you, and you are not missing out on anything. Your attachment style is just different from the culture where you live. Have confidence in the strength of the relationships you have, whether it is with a mom who feels more like a best friend, or a grandmother with whom you can share anything. They are meaningful, enriching relationships, even if they look different from the cultural norm.
28．Who is vertically attached according to the text
A．Mike, who feels at ease with his teachers.
B．Maggie, who enjoys film time alone at weekends.
C．Tom, who feels burnt out after a family get-together.
D．Lisa, who often turns to her dad when things are hard.
29．What is the popular belief among parents
A．Younger generations should be self-disciplined.
B．Being sociable is a desired quality for their children.
C．Their children need more friends than they themselves do.
D．Different generations should have different circles of acquaintances.
30．What advice is given to vertically-attached people
A．Be that as it may, just leave it as it is.
B．Never underestimate your inner power.
C．Hang out more with friends and adjust to it.
D．Treat others the way you want to be treated.
31．What is the author's attitude towards vertically-attached people
A．Sympathetic. B．Objective. C．Unconcerned. D．Critical.

A new study conducted by researchers from the University of Bath illustrates that flowering plants escaped relatively unharmed from the mass extinction that killed the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. While they suffered some species loss, the devastating event helped flowering plants become the dominant type of plant they are today.
Numerous mass extinctions have occurred throughout Earth's history, the most famous caused by an asteroid (小行星) hit 66 million years ago. The Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) extinction event wiped out at least 75% of all species on Earth, including the dinosaurs, but until now it has been unclear what kind of impact it had on flowering plants.
Plants do not have skeletons (骨骼) or exoskeletons like most animals, meaning fossils are relatively rare compared to animals, making it very difficult to understand the timeline of evolution from fossil evidence alone.
Dr. Jamie Thompson of the Milner Centre for Evolution and Dr. Santiago Ramírez-Barahona of Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México analyzed evolutionary "trees" constructed from changes in the DNA sequences (顺序) of up to 73,000 living species of flowering plants—angiosperms (被子植物). Using complex statistical methods, they fitted "birth-death" models to estimate the rates of extinction throughout geological time.
While the fossil record shows that many species did disappear, the ancestry to which they belong, such as families and orders, survived enough to flourish and then dominate. Evidence suggests that the vast majority of angiosperms families around today existed before the K-Pg event, of which some once shared Earth with the dinosaurs. Dr. Thompson said, "After most of Earth's species became extinct at K-Pg, angiosperms took the advantage, similar to the way in which mammals took over after the dinosaurs, and now pretty much all life on Earth depends on flowering plants ecologically."
So what made them tough enough to survive despite being immobile and relying on the sun for energy Dr. Ramírez-Barahona said, "Flowering plants have a remarkable ability to adapt. They use a variety of seed-dispersal and pollination (授粉) mechanisms. Some have copied their entire genomes and others have evolved new ways to make use of solar energy."
32．What does the underlined word "devastating" in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Depressing. B．Destructive. C．Degrading. D．Delicate.
33．How did the two scientists conduct their research
A．By studying fossil. B．By analyzing skeletons.
C．By building data models. D．By observing living species.
34．What can we learn from the passage
A．Flowering plants once coexisted with dinosaurs on Earth.
B．Mammals took advantage of the dinosaurs in the evolution.
C．Dinosaurs disappeared because of an asteroid hit 66 billion years ago.
D．Without fossil evidence, the timeline of the plants' evolution is unclear.
35．What can be the best title of the passage
A．Nature's True Survivors B．The K-Pg Event
C．The Plants' Narrow Escape D．Dinosaurs' Failure in Evolution
四、第二部分 阅读理解，第二节任务型阅读 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes or wildfires are typically unexpected, sudden and overwhelming. For many people, there are no outwardly visible signs of physical injury, but there can be an emotional damage. 36． Understanding responses to painful events can help you cope effectively with your feelings, thoughts, and behaviors, and help you along the path to recovery.
Luckily, most people are resilient (有适应力的) and over time are able to bounce back from tragedy. It is common for people to experience the immediate consequences. Within a few months, however, most people are able to resume functioning as they did prior to the disaster.
37．
Give yourself time to adjust. Anticipate that this will be a difficult time in your life. 38． And try to be patient with changes in your emotional state.
Engage in healthy behaviors to enhance your ability to cope with extreme stress. Eat well-balanced meals and get plenty of rest. If you experience ongoing difficulties with sleep, you may be able to find some relief through relaxation techniques.
Establish or reestablish routines. This can include eating meals at regular times, sleeping and waking on a regular cycle, or following an exercise program. 39． For example, pursuing a hobby, or reading a good book is just among the recommended helpful routines.
40． Switching careers or jobs and other important decisions tend to be highly stressful in their own right and even harder to take on when you are recovering from a disaster.
A. Avoid making major life decisions.
B. Be brave enough to make critical life decisions.
C. Allow yourself to mourn the losses you have experienced.
D. Join those who have the similar experiences with you to relieve your pain.
E. Try to get involved in something you look forward to during these distressing times.
F. It is common for people who have experienced disasters to have strong emotional reactions.
G. It is of great importance to remember that resilience and recovery are the norm, not the lasting pain.

67．第二节阅读下面材料，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。
I was a broke university student. I should have been going to university on a scholarship because I came from a low-income family, but a last-minute 100-a-year pay rise for my mum pushed my family over the threshold (门槛) for what defined "low-income" and I was suddenly no longer qualified for 15,000 a year in scholarship money. This news came after I'd been accepted by the university and signed the lease (租约) for my accommodation.
Despite my family not being labelled low-income anymore, I still wouldn't receive any financial support from my family as all the income went toward taking care of my disabled brother and paying their own bills. It would be tight, but because I had savings from my part-time job, I decided to go to university anyway. After paying my rent, I had 10.20 a week for everything else including food, toiletries, and school supplies.
As I was in a new city, I really wanted to make friends, which was difficult when most of the social activities were expensive. Therefore, I jumped at the chance to do a relatively cheap coffee shop trip with my roommates who were pleasant to me.
I had 20 with me to get a cheap cup of coffee and my food shopping for a few weeks. So I headed for the coffee shop. While paying, I pulled out the note and a handful of change and realized I could pay without breaking the note, so I put it back in my pocket. It wasn't until I arrived at the supermarket that I realized the note was gone. What should I do I was desperate as it was the equivalent (相等物) of two weeks of money. My roommates helped me look for the note. However, it was in vain. Finally, I went to school empty-handed.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As a final attempt, I messaged the coffee shop's Facebook page asking if they'd seen it.
I said, "Oh ... This isn't mine; my note was an old worn one."

67．【答案】One possible version:
As a final attempt, I messaged the coffee shop's Facebook page asking if they'd seen it. I must have sounded over worried in the post as I was soon flooded with abundant kind reviews. All, acquaintances or strangers, were trying to offer some comfort, advice or even money. I was touched beyond words. Suddenly, one review caught my eye, saying that my note had been found. I rushed to the coffee shop in no time, unable to believe my good luck. Upon my arrival, the shop assistant handed me a brand new 20-pound note, at which I felt a bit surprised.
I said, "Oh ... This isn't mine; my note was an old worn one." Hearing my words, the assistant immediately took out another note, which apparently was still not my lost note. "Actually, we've received several more notes from customers." the assistant explained, spreading even more notes on the desk. I shook my head. Disappointed as I was, I couldn't accept what didn't belong to me. Despite the fact that I might suffer a tight budget in the following weeks, I felt the warmth out of the kindness. Never before had I believed so firmly that kindness was a ray of light, brightening up the day in the darkest time.
【知识点】文字式记叙文；读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知，讲述了作者是一位来自贫寒家庭的大学生，在校期间作者做兼职自己挣生活费；但有一天作者在一家咖啡馆因为不小心弄丢了20英镑的钞票（这是他两周的生活费），他很着急的找结果在在咖啡店没有找到；于是他在网上发了一个帖子让大家帮他找，好心人感受到了作者的焦虑给咖啡店寄去了20 英镑的钞票，这不是作者丢的，作者感受到了大家的爱，他决定好好努力完成学业。段落续写：①由第一段首句内容"作为最后的尝试，我给咖啡店的Facebook主页发了信息，问他们是否看到了。"可知，第一段可描写作者急切地看着大家对帖子地评论，很快一条说钞票找到了的评论让作者高兴不已。②由第二段首句内容"我说:"哦……这不是我的;我的便条是一张又旧又破的。""可知，第二段可描写作者发现店主拿出来的钞票不是自己的，随后店主又拿了几张顾客寄来的，这些都不是作者的，作者虽没找到自己的钞票，但他坚定了前行的步伐。写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。
【点评】本书面表达要点齐全，上下文连贯，使用一定数量的句式结构，让句子更加生动丰满，同时运用了许多高级词汇和固定短语，提高文章的档次，体现了对英语的熟练的驾驭能力。例如：I must have sounded over worried in the post as I was soon flooded with abundant kind reviews. 运用了时间状语从句，虚拟语气；Suddenly, one review caught my eye, saying that my note had been found.运用了宾语从句；Upon my arrival, the shopassistant handed me a brand new 20 pound note, at which I felt a bit surprised.；运用了非限制性定语从句；Disappointed as I was, I couldn't accept what didn't belong to me. 运用了倒装句和宾语从句；Despite the fact that I might suffer a tight budget in the following weeks, I felt the warmth out of the kindness. 运用了同位语从句；Never before had I believed so firmly that kindness was a ray of light, brightening up the day in the darkest time.运用了倒装句和宾语从句。

A few years ago, I stood underneath a red overhanging cliff near my hometown. The weather was amazing. Deer chewed on the brown grasses by the river below. An eagle rode the wind. Townsfolk and visitors wandered in a nearby hot spring.
I was tied in, ready to climb. I was attempting to do a route first try, "onsight," as we call it, which means I didn't know what I was climbing into. It would have been a hard onsight for me to onsight hard climbs. You need clarity. No interference.
Just as I was about to climb, nerves in my body, which I hadn't felt yet, said hello. That's not good for any athlete. Desperate, I painted a coat of confidence on my inner walls of doubt. I visualized myself at the top, celebrating. "You can do this," I firmly told myself. "If you believe, success is certain."
It didn't work. I fell near the top. Defeated, I lowered to the ground and realized powerfully that the desire to climb the route had kept me from doing it. My self-worth was bound together by my success or failure at that moment, and that set off a chain reaction: unnatural desire, pressure, performance anxiety, anticipation, a mind fascinated with the top but a body struggling below, bad decision-making, irregular movement, distraction, frustration. All in that order, too.
In a flash, I told myself that on my next attempt, success or failure was irrelevant. "Make one move at a time. That's all." I gave myself a pass from whatever would happen. It worked. I floated to the top with self-control and clarity.
That moment got me thinking. At some point, I framed this experience for myself in terms of simple mathematics. When I added determination, courage, self-confidence and desire, I failed. When I took away the desire for success, I improved. I enjoyed it more as well, which, as an athlete of 30 years, I didn't think was possible. Eventually, I discovered the power of subtraction.
24．What can we infer from the author's first attempt
A．He managed to reach the top of the cliff.
B．He fully knew what he was climbing into.
C．He was confident in his own ability to get over obstacles.
D．He employed mental practice in order to overcome his nervousness.
25．What is the author's purpose in writing Paragraph 4
A．To list his shortcomings.
B．To give background information.
C．To describe a social phenomenon.
D．To explain the reason for his failure.
26．Which of the following can best describe the author
A．Determined and sensible. B．Optimistic and humorous.
C．Modest and conservative. D．Aggressive and stubborn.
27．What is conveyed in the text
A．Every dog has its day.
B．Sharp tools make good work.
C．Go into battle with a light pack.
D．Every cloud has a silver lining.

Feel exhausted after a party Rather see one close friend than a group of acquaintances Enjoy your own company In our world, that makes you an introvert (内向的人). However, there's another possible explanation—vertical attachment. If you are closer to your parents and family members than to your peers, you are vertically attached, which means you rely more on family for comfort.
If you are closer to your peers, then you are peer attached. We live in a peer-oriented world. We believe that having lots of friends means that we are well-adjusted. We put our kids in playgroups and daycare for peer interaction. We expect teenagers to want to hang out with their friends, thinking it is the natural way of things.
Result Generations often feel worlds apart. We use different language, dress, and technology apps. Even if multiple generations are invited to the same party, the kids go to the basement playroom while the parents stay upstairs.
Vertically-attached individuals can feel out of place in this context, demonstrating the traces of introversion. Will they be exhausted after a party with same-aged acquaintances Absolutely. Would they rather spend time with one close friend Sure. Do they enjoy alone time Yes, more than they enjoy time fitting in with peers.
It's normal that many people need alone time to recharge. However, vertically-attached people often label themselves as introverted. They feel insecure that others have more friends and live richer lives. They claim that their family attachments arise from their loved ones being stuck with them.
If you feel these insecurities, know that there is nothing wrong with you, and you are not missing out on anything. Your attachment style is just different from the culture where you live. Have confidence in the strength of the relationships you have, whether it is with a mom who feels more like a best friend, or a grandmother with whom you can share anything. They are meaningful, enriching relationships, even if they look different from the cultural norm.
28．Who is vertically attached according to the text
A．Mike, who feels at ease with his teachers.
B．Maggie, who enjoys film time alone at weekends.
C．Tom, who feels burnt out after a family get-together.
D．Lisa, who often turns to her dad when things are hard.
29．What is the popular belief among parents
A．Younger generations should be self-disciplined.
B．Being sociable is a desired quality for their children.
C．Their children need more friends than they themselves do.
D．Different generations should have different circles of acquaintances.
30．What advice is given to vertically-attached people
A．Be that as it may, just leave it as it is.
B．Never underestimate your inner power.
C．Hang out more with friends and adjust to it.
D．Treat others the way you want to be treated.
31．What is the author's attitude towards vertically-attached people
A．Sympathetic. B．Objective. C．Unconcerned. D．Critical.

A new study conducted by researchers from the University of Bath illustrates that flowering plants escaped relatively unharmed from the mass extinction that killed the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. While they suffered some species loss, the devastating event helped flowering plants become the dominant type of plant they are today.
Numerous mass extinctions have occurred throughout Earth's history, the most famous caused by an asteroid (小行星) hit 66 million years ago. The Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) extinction event wiped out at least 75% of all species on Earth, including the dinosaurs, but until now it has been unclear what kind of impact it had on flowering plants.
Plants do not have skeletons (骨骼) or exoskeletons like most animals, meaning fossils are relatively rare compared to animals, making it very difficult to understand the timeline of evolution from fossil evidence alone.
Dr. Jamie Thompson of the Milner Centre for Evolution and Dr. Santiago Ramírez-Barahona of Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México analyzed evolutionary "trees" constructed from changes in the DNA sequences (顺序) of up to 73,000 living species of flowering plants—angiosperms (被子植物). Using complex statistical methods, they fitted "birth-death" models to estimate the rates of extinction throughout geological time.
While the fossil record shows that many species did disappear, the ancestry to which they belong, such as families and orders, survived enough to flourish and then dominate. Evidence suggests that the vast majority of angiosperms families around today existed before the K-Pg event, of which some once shared Earth with the dinosaurs. Dr. Thompson said, "After most of Earth's species became extinct at K-Pg, angiosperms took the advantage, similar to the way in which mammals took over after the dinosaurs, and now pretty much all life on Earth depends on flowering plants ecologically."
So what made them tough enough to survive despite being immobile and relying on the sun for energy Dr. Ramírez-Barahona said, "Flowering plants have a remarkable ability to adapt. They use a variety of seed-dispersal and pollination (授粉) mechanisms. Some have copied their entire genomes and others have evolved new ways to make use of solar energy."
32．What does the underlined word "devastating" in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Depressing. B．Destructive. C．Degrading. D．Delicate.
33．How did the two scientists conduct their research
A．By studying fossil. B．By analyzing skeletons.
C．By building data models. D．By observing living species.
34．What can we learn from the passage
A．Flowering plants once coexisted with dinosaurs on Earth.
B．Mammals took advantage of the dinosaurs in the evolution.
C．Dinosaurs disappeared because of an asteroid hit 66 billion years ago.
D．Without fossil evidence, the timeline of the plants' evolution is unclear.
35．What can be the best title of the passage
A．Nature's True Survivors B．The K-Pg Event
C．The Plants' Narrow Escape D．Dinosaurs' Failure in Evolution
【答案】32．B
33．C

They use a variety of seed-dispersal and pollination (授粉) mechanisms. Some have copied their entire genomes and others have evolved new ways to make use of solar energy."那么，是什么让它们在无法移动、依赖太阳提供能量的情况下依然顽强地生存下来呢 Ramírez-Barahona博士说:"开花植物具有非凡的适应能力。它们使用多种种子传播和授粉机制。一些已经复制了它们的整个基因组，另一些已经进化出利用太阳能的新方法。"可知大自然的真正幸存者；故答案为 A。

67．第二节阅读下面材料，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。
I was a broke university student. I should have been going to university on a scholarship because I came from a low-income family, but a last-minute 100-a-year pay rise for my mum pushed my family over the threshold (门槛) for what defined "low-income" and I was suddenly no longer qualified for 15,000 a year in scholarship money. This news came after I'd been accepted by the university and signed the lease (租约) for my accommodation.
Despite my family not being labelled low-income anymore, I still wouldn't receive any financial support from my family as all the income went toward taking care of my disabled brother and paying their own bills. It would be tight, but because I had savings from my part-time job, I decided to go to university anyway. After paying my rent, I had 10.20 a week for everything else including food, toiletries, and school supplies.
As I was in a new city, I really wanted to make friends, which was difficult when most of the social activities were expensive. Therefore, I jumped at the chance to do a relatively cheap coffee shop trip with my roommates who were pleasant to me.
I had 20 with me to get a cheap cup of coffee and my food shopping for a few weeks. So I headed for the coffee shop. While paying, I pulled out the note and a handful of change and realized I could pay without breaking the note, so I put it back in my pocket. It wasn't until I arrived at the supermarket that I realized the note was gone. What should I do I was desperate as it was the equivalent (相等物) of two weeks of money. My roommates helped me look for the note. However, it was in vain. Finally, I went to school empty-handed.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150词左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As a final attempt, I messaged the coffee shop's Facebook page asking if they'd seen it.
I said, "Oh ... This isn't mine; my note was an old worn one."
【答案】One possible version:
As a final attempt, I messaged the coffee shop's Facebook page asking if they'd seen it. I must have sounded over worried in the post as I was soon flooded with abundant kind reviews. All, acquaintances or strangers, were trying to offer some comfort, advice or even money. I was touched beyond words. Suddenly, one review caught my eye, saying that my note had been found. I rushed to the coffee shop in no time, unable to believe my good luck. Upon my arrival, the shop assistant handed me a brand new 20-pound note, at which I felt a bit surprised.
I said, "Oh ... This isn't mine; my note was an old worn one." Hearing my words, the assistant immediately took out another note, which apparently was still not my lost note. "Actually, we've received several more notes from customers." the assistant explained, spreading even more notes on the desk. I shook my head. Disappointed as I was, I couldn't accept what didn't belong to me. Despite the fact that I might suffer a tight budget in the following weeks, I felt the warmth out of the kindness. Never before had I believed so firmly that kindness was a ray of light, brightening up the day in the darkest time.
【知识点】文字式记叙文；读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知，讲述了作者是一位来自贫寒家庭的大学生，在校期间作者做兼职自己挣生活费；但有一天作者在一家咖啡馆因为不小心弄丢了20英镑的钞票（这是他两周的生活费），他很着急的找结果在在咖啡店没有找到；于是他在网上发了一个帖子让大家帮他找，好心人感受到了作者的焦虑给咖啡店寄去了20 英镑的钞票，这不是作者丢的，作者感受到了大家的爱，他决定好好努力完成学业。段落续写：①由第一段首句内容"作为最后的尝试，我给咖啡店的Facebook主页发了信息，问他们是否看到了。"可知，第一段可描写作者急切地看着大家对帖子地评论，很快一条说钞票找到了的评论让作者高兴不已。②由第二段首句内容"我说:"哦……这不是我的;我的便条是一张又旧又破的。""可知，第二段可描写作者发现店主拿出来的钞票不是自己的，随后店主又拿了几张顾客寄来的，这些都不是作者的，作者虽没找到自己的钞票，但他坚定了前行的步伐。写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。
【点评】本书面表达要点齐全，上下文连贯，使用一定数量的句式结构，让句子更加生动丰满，同时运用了许多高级词汇和固定短语，提高文章的档次，体现了对英语的熟练的驾驭能力。例如：I must have sounded over worried in the post as I was soon flooded with abundant kind reviews. 运用了时间状语从句，虚拟语气；Suddenly, one review caught my eye, saying that my note had been found.运用了宾语从句；Upon my arrival, the shopassistant handed me a brand new 20 pound note, at which I felt a bit surprised.；运用了非限制性定语从句；Disappointed as I was, I couldn't accept what didn't belong to me. 运用了倒装句和宾语从句；Despite the fact that I might suffer a tight budget in the following weeks, I felt the warmth out of the kindness. 运用了同位语从句；Never before had I believed so firmly that kindness was a ray of light, brightening up the day in the darkest time.运用了倒装句和宾语从句。
