B（必修一 U1 Life Chices）
At nine years ld, I didn’t realize hw extrardinary it was fr me and my grandmther t travel frm ur Black neighbrhd t the mainly white Revere Beach. While Black families stayed tgether in ne sectin, rarely venturing ut alne, my grandmther std ut — cnfident and athletic while swimming, unlike the ther wmen wrried abut their hair r suits.
She wuld carry me n her back int the cean, mving steadily alng the tide. I fllwed my grandmther’s strng mtins, thrilled by the wild sea and her fearlessness. I admired hw she seemed brn t the water, emerging like a queen — prud, radiant, and benevlent.
Summer made ur Black bdies mre visible and vulnerable against narrw cultural ideals, but my grandmther never nticed. She fcused n teaching me t swim — a skill that seemed unnecessary t
sme, as the ppular media never prtrayed the “great utdrs” as a welcming place fr Black peple. It was seen as a space where we might feel uncmfrtable r even threatened. But t me, thse perceptins didn’t matter. When I finally learned t swim, it felt like I had unlcked a prfund and persnal secret f strength and freedm.
I nce wndered why enslaved Africans didn’t jump frm ships near shre and swim t freedm. Later I learned that mst castal waters in West Africa were filled with pisnus fish, making swimming uncmmn and dangerus. Nw, whenever I enter the cean, I remember my ancestrs fr whm the sea was a place f terrr rather than freedm.
Only after my grandmther’s death did I learn she wasn’t a strng swimmer herself. She had been brushing the cean flr with her feet all alng, keeping us aflat while teaching me rhythm and trust. Her quiet deceptin was nt a lie but a prfund act f bravery and curage. Thugh she hadn’t mastered it herself, my grandmther was determined t teach me t swim — nt fr the strkes, but fr the strength and self-belief that wuld keep me aflat in life.
Hw was the grandmther different frm ther wmen at the beach?
She stayed with Black families nly.
She avided getting her hair and suits wet.
She seemed t swim with ease and strength.
She std utside f the swimming sectin.
What des the authr realize abut African slaves?
They were pisnus by sea creatures.
They didn’t enjy utdr activities.
They rarely swam due t natural dangers.
They culd have easily escaped by swimming.
Why did the grandmther teach the authr t swim?
T challenge her limits.B. T build her cnfidence.
C. T prepare her fr dangers at sea.D. T prve Black peple culd swim.
Which title best suits the passage?
Overcming Fears at Revere Beach
A Summer That Changed My Childhd
Breaking Self-Dubt and Cultural Bias
Grandmther’s Empwering Lessns
C
An exhibitin f paintings f ancient Chinese characters was held n July 13 in Addis Ababa, the capital f Ethipia, with the aim f prmting peple-t-peple and cultural exchanges. Based n the classic

He says the exhibitin can be cnsidered a stepping stne t prmte cultural exchange and create mutual situatins fr cmmn develpment between the peples f China and Ethipia.
“The backgrunds f the paintings make use f Ethipian styles and express the ideas f heaven, harvest, and relief, amng thers,” says Muluneh, wh drew similarities and absrbed essential parts frm the traditinal arts f bth cuntries.
In an interview, Wu says that he was taken by surprise when he saw an Ethipian artist painting Chinese characters. The exhibitin attracted members f the Chinese cmmunity in Addis Ababa, Ethipian artists and painters, and schl children.

T prmte Ethipian art glbally.

D（选择性必修一 Unit 1 Relatinships）
Picture this, yu win tw tickets t a sld-ut cncert and eagerly text t ask yur friends if they’d like t jin. There cmes their respnse “Maybe.” Yur md immediately turns, fr yu need t wait fr their decisins befre yu can figure ut yur plans fr the cncert.
If yu’ve experienced anything like the abve anecdte(趣闻), yu’re nt alne. Peple respnding “maybe” t invitatins is a cmmn yet annying aspect f scial life. What ges n in peple’s heads when they aren’t sure whether t accept an invitatin? Scial invitatins can be a delicate dance. Peple ften misread what smene extending an invitatin wants t hear and verestimate an inviter’s likelihd f preferring a “ maybe ” ver a “ n. ” Mrever, they fail t realize hw much mre disrespected peple feel when they receive a “maybe” in respnse t their invitatin.
Naturally, we wanted t figure ut why this awkward dynamic plays ut. We fund that it’s largely due t smething called “mtivated reasning.” Mtivated reasning ccurs when a persn interprets infrmatin in a biased( 有偏差的) way t suit their wn wishes. In ther wrds, invitees cnvince themselves that inviters want t hear “maybe” instead f “n” because a “maybe” is better fr the invitees, allwing them t leave their ptins pen. Besides, peple tend t verestimate the negative cnsequences f saying “n” t invitatins, thinking it will upset, anger and disappint inviters.
Hwever, there were certain situatins that made peple mre cmfrtable saying “ n ” t an invitatin. When recipients f an invitatin put themselves in the shes f the persn extending the invitatin, they are mre likely t realize that they’d prbably prefer a definite answer. When the participants get invited t d smething they didn’t want t d, they had n desire t keep their ptins pen. The mtivated reasning then became irrelevant.
While navigating scial situatins can be tricky, being direct and definite is smetimes best. It might reduce yur ptins. But it’ll keep thse wh invite yu frm being left uncertain and maybe they will still think f yu when the next cncert cmes t twn.
Why is the cncert anecdte mentined at the beginning?
T explain the backgrund f the invitatin.
T stress the imprtance f quick replies.
T encurage immediate decisin- making.
T intrduce a cmmn scial situatin.
What is the main reasn fr the respnse f “maybe” t an invitatin?
A biased interpretatin f scial cues.
A desire fr harmnius cmmunicatin.
An underestimatin f refusal cnsequence.
An understanding f the inviter’s expectatin.
What is the authr’s suggestin in the last paragraph?
Keeping yur ptins pen fr better plans.
Accepting invitatins t maintain friendships.
Priritizing clear respnse ver pen ptins.
Thinking twice befre refusing an invitatin.
What’s the passage’s main purpse?
T explre why peple say “maybe” and advcate clear replies.
T explain the hidden cnsequences f “maybe” in scial invitatins.
T discuss the awkwardness f uncertain replies and share advice.
T keep ptins pen by changing replies frm “n” t “maybe”.

Over the last few years, there has been a trend t fcus n gratitude. We can buy different kinds f gratitude jurnals, r dwnlad sme apps t write dwn ur blessings. 36 “We shuld als bear in mind that gratitude is free.” says Laurie Sants, wh teaches a curse n the science f well-being and happiness at Yale University.
37 Studies have fund that keeping a gratitude jurnal can decrease materialism and enhance genersity amng adlescents. Giving thanks can help peple sleep better, lwer stress and imprve interpersnal relatinships. 38 “It is ne practice that really wins ut frm the field f psitive psychlgy.” she says. Her students, in additin t keeping gratitude jurnals, are asked t write a thank-yu letter and then read it ut lud t the recipient ( 收信人). “They shw measurable imprvements in well-being even a mnth after they’ve dne this.” she says.
What wrks fr sme peple may nt wrk fr thers. There’s a lack f research n hw gratitude exercises help peple with anxiety r clinical depressin. Indeed, fr all the research n the brad benefits f expressing gratitude, it is nt fr everyne. 39 It can’t make injustice, lss r pain disappear.
During really tugh times, like when she suffers frm pr health, Sants feels like she is reaching fr reasns t be grateful. But she still tries t find sme. “I’m grateful fr the sun that’s shining r being able t wake up.” she says. 40
That is, it’s nt a cure-all.
S it des nt feel pleasant.
Gratitude allws her t remember what is ging well.
Thse prducts just remind us t take time t be grateful.
Nting dwn gratitude and expressing it seem t pay ff.
Practicing t much gratitude may have undesired effects.
That’s why gratitude features heavily in Sants’ happiness class.

My lve fr dance began when I was very yung and I wuld dream t be a star dancer frm time t time. With the drama festival appraching, the schl drama club had released a ntice fr the dancer auditin (试镜) fr The Twelve Dancing Princesses. And f curse I was the first ne t sign up.
As I left the stage after my auditin at schl, I culd feel it. The pwer. The future. I knew that
smeday when dancers' magazines wrte abut me, wuld say this mment was when my rise t a star began.
My ballet slippers hurt my feet, but I figured that was helpful. In The Twelve Dancing Princesses, the princesses danced all night s they prbably had ft pain, t. My perfrmance was mre genuine because f my pain. I needed t shw my devtin even when I wasn’t n stage, s I apprached Mr. Ellisn, the drama club advisr. He tld me that casting (角色分配) will be psted tmrrw. “Thank yu, sir,” I said, using the almst British prnunciatin f Hllywd stars in the 1940s. I was s sure that Mr. Ellisn wuld cast me as a princess.
The next mrning, I went t read the cast list. The twelve princesses were first, by number. I scanned frm One t Twelve, but nne by me. At the bttm f the cast list, my name finally appeared. My rle was a really small ne, an ld wman wh helped a sldier, nt ne f the princesses! I was desperately disappinted. Mr. Ellisn must have made a mistake! N ne else in the schl had my skills r preparatin!
I fund him in his classrm, but he insisted there was n mistake and emphasized that every rle in a play was imprtant. Unable t accept the fact, I burst int tears. Mr. Ellisn managed t calm me dwn and encuraged me t have a try in the rehearsal (排练).
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 next day, I dragged myself t the rehearsal.
Finally, the great day arrived and “the ld wman” culdn’t wait t get n stage.

The next day, I dragged myself t the rehearsal. Unwilling t play such an insignificant rle, I practiced dancing absent-mindedly. Nticing my behavir, Mr. Ellisn walked twards me, strked my hair and murmured wrds f encuragement, “Every rle matters.” His wrds eched in my mind. As I watched the ther dancers thrwing themselves int the perfrmance, a new perspective gradually emerged in my mind. Over the fllwing days, I channeled my energy int the rehearsals heart and sul and my perfrmance imprved steadily. With grwing cnfidence, the unwillingness I nce felt gradually gave way t eager anticipatin.
Finally, the great day arrived and “the ld wman” culdn’t wait t get n stage. Drawing strength frm the cuntless hurs f practice, Mr. Ellisn’s encuragement, and my passin fr dance, I stepped nt the stage, envelped/bathed in the glw f the lights. With the slw, slightly stped grace f an aged wman, I danced each step steadily and delivered my lines with my vice trembling, hlding their attentin cmpletely during my shrt scene. I really enjyed the mment by turning a small rle int a big ne. After the shw, Mr. Ellisn shwered me with praise fr my perfrmance. Only then did I realize that every rle, n matter hw small, is an pprtunity t shine.

抓住核心矛盾：梦想成为明星舞者的“我”试镜后却获得了老妇人这一“小角色”
分析首句线索：1)The next day, I dragged myself t the rehearsal.【drag 是什么意思？体现
了“我”怎样的情绪？】
2)Finally, the great day arrived and “the ld wman” culdn’t wait t get n stage.【culdn’t wait t 体现了“我”怎样的情绪？为什么发生了情绪变化？是什么使“我”的态度发生转变？ “我”上台后的表演如何？】

B 篇【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者回忆祖母教自己游泳的经历，以及这段经历对作者产生的深远影响。
细节理解题。根据第一段中“At nine years ld, I didn’t realize hw extrardinary it was fr me and my grandmther t travel frm ur Black neighbrhd t the mainly white Revere Beach. While Black families stayed tgether in ne sectin, rarely venturing ut alne, my grandmther std ut — cnfident and athletic while swimming, unlike the ther wmen wrried abut their hair r suits. (九岁那年，我还没意识到，我和奶奶从我们居住的黑人社区，
前往以白人为主的里维尔海滩，是一件多么不寻常的事。当时黑人家庭都聚在海滩的一个 区域，很少有人单独外出，而奶奶却格外显眼 —— 她游泳时自信又矫健，不像其他女性那样顾虑头发或泳衣是否会乱。)”可知，祖母和其他女人不一样，她在游泳时自信且健壮，而其他女人担心自己的头发或衣服。因此，祖母与其他女人的不同之处在于她游泳时显得轻松而有力。故选 C。
细节理解题。根据第四段中“I nce wndered why enslaved Africans didn’t jump frm ships near shre and swim t freedm. Later I learned that mst castal waters in West Africa were filled with pisnus fish, making swimming uncmmn and dangerus. (我曾经想知道为什么被奴役的非洲人没有从靠近岸边的船上跳下来，游到自由的地方。后来我了解到，西非的大部分沿海水域都充满了有毒的鱼，这使得游泳变得不常见且危险。)”可知，作者后来了解到，西非的大部分沿海水域都充满了有毒的鱼，这使得游泳变得不常见且危险，所以非洲奴隶很少游泳是因为自然危险。故选 C。
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Thugh she hadn’t mastered it herself, my grandmther was determined t teach me t swim — nt fr the strkes, but fr the strength and self-belief that wuld keep me aflat in life. (虽然祖母自己并没有掌握游泳，但她决心教我游泳——不是为 了划水，而是为了让我在生活中保持力量和自信。)”可知，祖母教作者游泳不是为了划水，而是为了让她在生活中保持力量和自信。因此，祖母教作者游泳是为了建立她的自信。故选 B。
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段中“Her quiet deceptin was nt a lie but a prfund act f bravery and curage. Thugh she hadn’t mastered it herself, my grandmther was determined t teach me t swim — nt fr the strkes, but fr the strength and self-belief that wuld keep me aflat in life. (她安静的欺骗不是谎言，而是一种深刻的勇敢和勇气行为。虽然祖母自己并没有掌握游泳，但她决心教我游泳——不是为了划水，而是为了让我在生活中保持力量和自信。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者回忆祖母教自己游泳的经历，祖母虽然自己不会游泳，但仍然勇敢地教作者游泳，让她在生活中保持力量和自信，这段经历对作者产生了深远的影响，让她克服了自我怀疑和文化偏见。因此，D 选项“Grandmther’s Empwering Lessns (祖母的赋能课)”最能概括文章的主旨。故选 D。
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了在埃塞俄比亚展出的中国古代汉字画及其意义。 28．细节理解题。根据第一段“An exhibitin f paintings f ancient Chinese characters was held n July 13 in Addis Ababa, the capital f Ethipia, with the aim f prmting peple-t-peple and cultural exchanges.(7 月 13 日，中国古代汉字画展在埃塞俄比亚
首都亚的斯亚贝巴举行，旨在促进民间和文化交流)”可知，展览的主要目的是促进两国之间的文化交流，故选 C。
细节理解题。根据第四段“The paintings describes the 64 divinatry (占卜的) symbls fund in I Ching, which represent the day-t-day interactin between man and nature.(这些画作描述了《易经》中的 64 个占卜符号，这些符号代表了人与自然的日常互动)”可知，《易经》的符号象征了人与自然的联系，故选 B。
词句猜测题。根据第四段“He says the exhibitin can be cnsidered a stepping stne t prmte cultural exchange and create mutual situatins fr cmmn develpment between the peples f China and Ethipia.(他说，这次展览可以看作是促进中埃两国人民文化交流和共同发展的 a stepping stne)”可知，提到展览作为促进文化交流的“stepping stne”，这表示取得进一步进展的初步努力。故选 D。
主旨大意题。根据第一段“An exhibitin f paintings f ancient Chinese characters was held n July 13 in Addis Ababa, the capital f Ethipia, with the aim f prmting peple-t-peple and cultural exchanges.(7 月 13 日，中国古代汉字画展在埃塞俄比亚
首都亚的斯亚贝巴举行，旨在促进民间和文化交流)”可知，通篇文章围绕埃塞俄比亚展出的中国古代汉字画及其意义展开。由此可知，“An Exhibitin in Ethipia Featuring
Chinese Characters(在埃塞俄比亚举办的中国文字展览)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选 D。
D 篇：【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍人们收到邀请时回复“Maybe”这一常见社交现象，分析其背后原因及特定应对情况，并给出直接回应的建议。
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Picture this, yu win tw tickets t a sld-ut cncert and eagerly text t ask yur friends if they’d like t jin. There cmes their respnse “Maybe.” Yur md immediately turns, fr yu need t wait fr their decisins befre yu can figure ut yur plans fr the cncert.(想象一下，你赢得了两张售罄音乐会的门票，急切地发短信问朋友是否愿意一起去。他们回复“也许吧”。你的心情立刻变了，因为你需要等他们做决定，才能确定自己的音乐会计划)” 以及第二段中的“ If yu ’ ve experienced anything like the abve anecdte, yu’re nt alne. Peple respnding “maybe” t invitatins is a cmmn yet annying aspect f scial life.(如果你有过类似上述轶事的经历，你并不孤单。人们对邀请回复“也许”是社交生活中常见却令人恼火的一面)”可知，作者开头提及音乐会轶事，是为了引出人们对邀请回复“Maybe”这一常见社交场景。故选 D 项。
33 ． 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“ We fund that it ’ s largely due t smething called
“ mtivated reasning. ” Mtivated reasning ccurs when a persn interprets infrmatin in a biased (有偏差的) way t suit their wn wishes. In ther wrds, invitees cnvince themselves that inviters want t hear “ maybe” instead f “ n” because a “ maybe” is better fr the invitees, allwing them t leave their ptins pen.(我们发现，这在很大程度上是由一种叫做“动机性推理”的东西导致的。当一个人以有偏差的方式解读信息以迎合自己的意愿时，就会发生动机性推理。换句话说，受邀者会说服自己，邀请者更想听到“也许”而不是“不”，因为“也许”对受邀者更有利，能让他们保留选择的余地)”可知，人们对邀请回复“Maybe”的主要原因是对社交信号有偏差的解读。故选 A 项。
34．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“While navigating scial situatins can be tricky, being
direct and definite is smetimes best. It might reduce yur ptins. But it’ll keep thse wh invite yu frm being left uncertain and maybe they’ll still think f yu when the next cncert cmes t twn.(虽然应对社交场合可能很棘手，但有时直接明确是最好的选择。这可能会减少你的选择，但能避免邀请你的人陷入不确定的状态，而且当下一场音乐会来临时，他们或许还会
想到你)”可知，作者建议优先选择清晰明确的回应，而非保留选择余地。故选 C 项。 35．主旨大意题。选项 B：仅聚焦“maybe”的潜在影响（如让邀请者困扰、不受尊重），是文章次要信息，未覆盖“原因探究”和“正向引导”的核心，片面概括，排除；选项 C：“探讨不确定回复的尴尬”文章并未罗列不确定回复产生的尴尬结果，同时“分享建议”未紧扣原文“倡导清晰回复”的核心指向，逻辑偏差，排除；选项 D：与文章传递的观点相违背，排除。选项 A：“explre why”对应原文对“maybe”背后心理的探究，“advcate clear replies”契合文章引导更优社交回复的核心意图，表述地道、逻辑完整，当选。故选 A 项。

36．空前说“We can buy different kinds f gratitude jurnals, r dwnlad sme apps t write

Her students, in additin t keeping gratitude jurnals, are asked t write a thank-yu letter and then read it ut lud t the recipient ( 收信人). “They shw measurable imprvements in well-being even a mnth after they’ve dne this.” she says. (“这是一个在积极心理学领域脱颖而出的实践”，她说。她的学生除了记感恩日记外，还被要求写一封感谢信，然后大声念给收信人听。“即使在这样做一个月后，他们的幸福感也有了明显的改善。”她说。)”，说明她很重视写感恩日记，G 选项“That’s why gratitude features heavily in Sants’ happiness class.(这就是为什么感恩在 Sants 的幸福课上占据重要地位。)”说明了 Sants 在她的课上很重视感恩，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选 G。

clinical depressin. Indeed, fr all the research n the brad benefits f expressing gratitude, it is nt fr everyne.(关于感恩练习如何帮助焦虑或临床抑郁症患者的研究还很缺乏。事实上，尽管所有关于表达感激的广泛好处的研究都表明，这并不适用于所有人。)”，这说明感恩 也不是适合每一个人，A 选项“That is, it’s nt a cure-all.(也就是说，它不是万灵药。)”说明感恩不是适合每一个人，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选 A。
空前说“During really tugh times, like when she suffers frm pr health, Sants feels like she is reaching fr reasns t be grateful. But she still tries t find sme. “I’m grateful fr the sun that’s shining r being able t wake up.” she says.(在非常艰难的时期，比如她身体不好的时候， Sants 觉得她在寻找感恩的理由。但她仍然试图找到一些。“我很感激太阳还在照耀，我还能醒来。”她说。)”说明她在身体不好时也试图找可感恩的事情，空格处应该说这种做法给
她带来了什么好处，C 选项“Gratitude allws her t remember what is ging well.(感激之情让她记起顺利的事情。)”说明了感恩给她带来的好处，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选 C。 完形填空：【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者年初立志园艺，历经辛苦却收效甚微，
几乎放弃时，寒冬中意外发现大丽花绽放，重拾来年继续尝试的决心。 41．考查动词词义辨析。句意：我做了研究，买了所有必需品，并在院子里清理出一块地方。A. cleared 清理；B. marked 标记；C. measured 测量；D. designed 设计。根据后文 “a spt in my yard”及园艺准备工作可知，作者需要清理出一块空地用于种花， “cleared”符合“为种植做准备”的语境。故选 A 项。 42．考查动词短语辨析。句意：我在日记里写下了我的园艺目标，希望能拥有一个开满鲜花的花园。A. gave away 赠送；B. wrte dwn 写下；C. made up 编造；D. crssed ut划掉。根据前文“in my jurnal”可知，作者将目标记录下来，“wrte dwn”符合“日记记录”的场景。故选 B 项。 43．考查动词词义辨析。句意：我在日记里写下了我的园艺目标，希望能拥有一个开满鲜花的花园。A. chsing 选择；B. prmising 承诺；C. hping 希望；D. agreeing 同意。根据后文“t have a garden full f flwers”可知，作者希望能拥有一个开满鲜花的花园，“hping”体现对目标的期盼，符合语境。故选 C 项。

语法填空：56. 考点：副词的用法。句意：9 月 21 日，一部致力于弘扬千年宣纸文化的电视剧《墨缘》， 在安徽省宣城市被公开宣布已开机拍摄。形容词变副词， 修饰动词 “annunced”，需用副词形式。
考点：不定冠词的用法。句意：据制片方介绍，该剧有一个 80 天的拍摄日程。“80 - day”（eighty - day）以元音音素开头，且“schedule”为可数名词单数，表“一个”时用不定冠词“an”。
考点：一般现在时中主谓一致。句意：由中央广播电视总台出品、宋业明执导的这部剧，讲述了一位年轻女性辞去北京的工作，回到家乡照顾生病的母亲的故事。主语“the stry”是第三人称单数，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。
考点：固定短语。as 固定搭配 “land a psitin as...” 意为 “获得…… 职位”，此处指 “她获得了当地政府官员的职位”，故填 as。
考点：主语从句。句意：在成为一名当地政府官员后，她发现传统的宣纸产业正面临日益衰落的危险。从句中 “is faced with” 缺少宾语，指代 “宣纸产业面临的事物”，故用连接词 what 引导主语从句。
考点：形容词短语作状语。句意：决心振兴它（宣纸产业），她发起了诸如开发宣纸笔记本、在北京争取宣纸墙纸订单以及组织推广“文房四宝”的文化节等举措——“文房四宝”是一个传统术语，指的是笔、墨、纸、砚。“be determined t d sth.”（决心做某事）的省略用法，省略“be”动词，用“Determined”作状语。
考点：可数名词的复数形式。“such as”后列举多个举措，“initiative”为可数名词，需用复数。
考点： 现在分词作后置定语。“ term ” 与“ refer t ” 是主动关系， 用现在分词 “referring”修饰“term”。
考点：被动语态。句意：宋导演透露，他被该剧独特的结构和角色所吸引，尤其是它以一位宣纸厂女官员的视角展开。 主语 “he”（导演宋业明）与 “draw”（吸引）是被动关系，需用被动语态；“revealed” 为过去式，若强调 “被吸引” 发生在 “透露” 之前，用过去完成时的被动语态 had been drawn；若仅陈述过去的事实，用一般过去时的被动语态 was drawn，两者均符合语境。
考点：形容词的用法。句意：他还被宣纸工匠家庭内部的戏剧性张力所吸引，他们在守护传统、传承技艺和面向未来创新时面临着挑战。修饰名词“tensin”，需用形容词， “drama”的形容词形式为“dramatic”。
