(附属厨房提供新鲜的食物，从当地采购的原料，服务的选择对待。)”和East Riding Leisure Centres部分中“This place is suitable for anyone over the age of 4 and you can refuel at cafe with fresh food, snacks and cakes. (这个地方适合4岁以上的人，你可以在咖啡馆里吃新鲜的食物，小吃和蛋糕。)”可知，William’s Den和East Riding Leisure Centres都提到了可以供孩子们享受食物。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。 由文章East Riding Leisure Centres部分中“This place is suitable for anyone over the age of 4 and you can refuel at cafe with fresh food, snacks and cakes. (这个地方适合4岁以上的人，你可以在咖啡馆里吃新鲜的食物，小吃和蛋糕。)”可知，这个地方适合4岁以上的人群，因此对于3岁的孩子来说，这个地方是不合适的。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“East Yorkshire has typical unpredictable British weather. So here are some ideas to keep everybody happy when the weather is not the most ideal. (East Yorkshire有着典型的难以预测的英国天气。所以这里有一些主意，让大家在天气不理想的时候开心。)”可知，文章主要介绍了几个在East Yorkshire适合儿童在不佳天气时娱乐的地点，每个地方都提供了不同类型的活动和体验。因此，本文的目的是介绍适合儿童的地方。故选A。 B When Melanie Salazar graduated from college on Dec.11, she got to walk across the stage with a very special schoolmate: her grandfather. Though Salazar, 23, and her grandfather, Rene Neira, now 88, never took any classes together, they both studied at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). Salazar graduated with a degree in communications while Neira received a degree of recognition in economics. According to Salazar, Neira has been “in and out of school” since the 1950s, first pausing his education to marry Salazar’s grandmother and raise their family together. When his children got older, Salazar said Neira would “take a few classes here and there” throughout the years. By the time she graduated high school and was enrolling at Palo Alto, her grandfather had decided he wanted to focus more fully on his education, so he also enrolled at the school. Salazar and Neira also graduated from community college together in 2017. Then, they both went on to UTSA. Salazar said they did spend time on campus eating lunch or studying in the library together. Salazar also helped Neira with his emails and online courses. She always drove Neira to commute to campus as he didn’t have his car. Salazar said her favorite memories of going to college with her grandfather were the occasions when he would sometimes attend meeting s for the school club where she was president. “I thought that was really special because he didn’t have to do that, but he would make an effort sometimes to come to my meetings and listen and participate,” Salazar said. Now they’ve both graduated, Salazar said Neira will continue to enjoy retirement. Meanwhile, Salazar is working at a nonprofit and hopes to start an NGO with some of her colleagues. 4. What do we know about Rene Neira and Melanie Salazar? A. They performed on the same stage. B. They were classmates at university. C. They received the same degree together. D. They graduated from the same university. 5. What does the underlined word “commute” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Travel regularly. B. End permanently. C. Start immediately. D. Continue constantly. 6. What was Salazar’s favourite memory of going to college with her grandfather? A. Driving to the campus. B. Studying in the library together. C. Eating lunch together on campus. D. Attending meeting s for the school club. 7. Which of the following words best describes Rene Neira’s story? A. Moving. B. Inspiring. C. Exciting. D. Entertaining. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了Rene Neira和Melanie Salazar祖孙二人同时从同一大学毕业的故事。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Though Salazar, 23, and her grandfather, Rene Neira, now 88, never took any classes together, they both studied at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). Salazar graduated with a degree in communications while Neira received a degree of recognition in economics.(虽然23岁的萨拉查和她的祖父，现年88岁的雷内·内拉从未一起上过课，但他们都在德克萨斯大学圣安东尼奥分校学习。萨拉查毕业时获得了传播学学位，而内拉则获得了经济学学位)”可知，Rene Neira 和 Melanie Salazar祖孙二人同时从同一大学毕业。故选D。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“as he didn’t have his car”可知，由于Neira没有车，所以推测Salazar经常开车送Neira往返上学。故划线词意思是“定期往返”，和A项“Travel regularly”语义一致。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Salazar said her favorite memories of going to college with her grandfather were the occasions when he would sometimes attend meeting s for the school club where she was president.(萨拉查说，她和祖父一起上大学的最美好的记忆是，祖父有时会参加她担任主席的学校俱乐部的会议)”可知，萨拉查和祖父一起上大学的最美好的记忆是参加学校俱乐部的会议。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When Melanie Salazar graduated from college on Dec.11, she got to walk across the stage with a very special schoolmate: her grandfather.(去年12月11日，梅拉尼·萨拉查从大学毕业，她和一位非常特别的同学——她的祖父——一起走过了舞台)”结合本文讲述了88岁的Rene Neira和孙女一起完成大学教育的故事，从他的个人经历和对接受教育的执着追求可知，他的故事激励他人、鼓舞人心。故选B。 C It’s really true what people say about English politeness: it’s everywhere. When passing through a crowd in a narrow place, people say “sorry”. When getting off a bus, English passengers say “thank you” to the driver. In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles and came to appreciate some more polite ways of communicating with people, and here are some more polite ways of interacting with people in UK. People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customer and shop assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be surprising to hear more than one thank-you in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, which is different from Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough. Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize (批评) others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers repeated several times but none of their explanations were intended as scolding me. It has been my impression that by avoiding scolding, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is showed in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men! 8. What is the author’s feeling of English politeness? A. He thinks highly of it. B. He thinks little of it. C. He thinks it unnecessary. D. He thinks it goes too far. 9. Why does the author mention Germans in paragraph 2? A. To catch readers’ attention. B. To stress English politeness. C. To describe German culture. D. To give tips on how to be polite. 10. Which word can be used to describe English way of pointing out mistakes? A. Rude. B. Direct. C. Acceptable. D. Creative. 11. What method is mainly used to develop the text? A Telling stories. B. Giving reasons. C. Referring to theories. D. Making comparisons. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了相比德国人和苏格兰人，英国人的礼貌无处不在。作者通过把英国人和德国人，苏格兰人相比较，来体现英国人的礼貌及绅士。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles and came to appreciate some more polite ways of communicating with people, and here are some more polite ways of interacting with people in UK.”（我以前也这么想，从不质疑，直到我开始去不列颠群岛旅行，开始欣赏一些更礼貌的与人交流的方式，这里有一些与英国人交流的更礼貌的方式。）可推知，作者高度评价了英国人的礼貌。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customer and shop assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be surprising to hear more than one thank-you in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, which is different from Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.”（在英国，人们总是互相感谢。当人们在商店买东西时，顾客和店员在大多数情况下会互相感谢两次或更多。在德国，在这样的谈话中听到不止一句“谢谢”会让人感到惊讶。英国学生在离开教室时要感谢他们的讲师。英国雇主感谢员工为他们做的工作，这与德国人不同，德国人通常认为付给工人钱已经足够了。）可推知，作者第二段提到德国人是为了强调英国人的礼貌。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize (批评) others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers repeated several times but none of their explanations were intended as scolding me. It has been my impression that by avoiding scolding, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable.”（我在逗留期间观察到的另一件事是，英国人很少批评别人。即使在我工作的时候，我的老板也会向我指出错误，他们会重复几次，但他们的解释都不是在责备我。在我的印象中，英国人避免责骂是在努力让别人感觉舒服。）可推知，英国人指出错误的方式是可接受的。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customer and shop assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be surprising to hear more than one thank-you in such a conversation.”（在英国，人们总是互相感谢。当人们在商店买东西时，顾客和店员在大多数情况下会互相感谢两次或更多。在德国，在这样的谈话中听到不止一句“谢谢”会让人感到惊讶。）以及最后一段中“British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men!”（而且英国男人比德国男人更愿意请女人吃饭。然而，我需要指出的是，这一点更适用于英格兰男人，而不是苏格兰男人！）可知，作者通过把英国人和德国人，苏格兰人相比较，来体现英国人的礼貌及绅士，由此判断出作者通过比较的方法来展开文章。故选D项。 D If you’re one of those people who has trouble falling asleep, listen up. You might fall asleep 15 minutes earlier and wake up far less during the night if you put on a pair of socks at bedtime. To understand why, you first need to grasp the relationship between core body temperature and sleep. During daylight hours, the human body hums along at an average temperature of 37℃. But at night, your core body temperature decreases as much as 1.2℃ over the course of six or seven hours of sleep. This gradual decrease in core body temperature is a key part of the complicated switch of falling asleep and staying asleep. And the faster you can lower the core body temperature, the faster you will fall asleep. One of the ways that your body controls its temperature is through blood vessels (血管) in your skin. If the brain decides the body is too hot, it will widen blood vessels, transporting warmer blood from the body’s core through the rest of the body to cool it down. If the body is too cold, the brain signals the opposite reaction, reducing the flow of blood to the surface. This is where your feet come in. The palms (掌) of your hands and the bottom surface of your feet are the body’s most efficient heat exchangers, since they are hairless and less insulated (隔热的) than other skin surfaces. Researchers have shown that warming the feet before going to sleep using a warm foot bath or by wearing socks promotes vasodilation (血管扩张), which in turn lowers the body’s core temperature faster than going to sleep with cold, bare feet. 12. What does the underlined word “hums” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Becomes active. B. Stays noisy. C. Gets protection. D. Needs balance. 13. What plays a key role in helping people falling asleep? A. Health conditions. B. Sleep environment. C. Understanding of sleep. D. Changes of core body temperature. 14. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us? A. How blood transports in the body. B. How people fall asleep quickly. C. How body temperature changes. D. How body temperature functions. 15. Why is wearing socks suggested at bedtime? A. To help blood flow faster. B. To prevent feet from cold. C. To protect blood vessels in feet. D. To increase core body temperature. 【答案】12 A 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了穿袜子睡觉有助于入睡的原理。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第二段中“During daylight hours, the human body (白天，人体)”、“at an average temperature of 37℃ (平均温度为37℃)”、“But at night, your core body temperature decreases as much as 1.2℃ over the course of six or seven hours of sleep. (但在晚上，你的核心体温会在六到七个小时的睡眠中下降1.2℃。)”可知，在白天，人体的平均温度为 37 摄氏度；但在晚上，体温在睡眠过程中会下降，身体就没有在白天那样活跃。A. Becomes active变得活跃起来；B. Stays noisy保持吵闹的；C. Gets protection获得保护；D. Needs balance需要平衡。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段“This gradual decrease in core body temperature is a key part of the complicated switch of falling asleep and staying asleep. And the faster you can lower the core body temperature, the faster you will fall asleep. (核心体温的逐渐下降是入睡和保持睡眠的复杂转换的关键部分。你降低核心体温的速度越快，你就会越快入睡。)”可知，核心体温变化的程度影响入睡的速度。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第四段“One of the ways that your body controls its temperature is through blood vessels (血管) in your skin. If the brain decides the body is too hot, it will widen blood vessels, transporting warmer blood from the body’s core through the rest of the body to cool it down. If the body is too cold, the brain signals the opposite reaction, reducing the flow of blood to the surface. (人体控制体温的方式之一是通过皮肤中的血管。如果大脑认为身体太热，它就会扩张血管，将温暖的血液从身体的核心输送到身体的其他部位，从而使身体降温。如果身体太冷，大脑会发出相反的信号，减少流向体表的血液。)”可知，本段主要说明了大脑怎样控制体温变化。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“Researchers have shown that warming the feet before going to sleep using a warm foot bath or by wearing socks promotes vasodilation (血管扩张), which in turn lowers the body’s core temperature faster than going to sleep with cold, bare feet. (研究人员已经证明，睡前用热足浴或穿袜子暖脚可以促进血管舒张，从而比光着脚睡觉更快地降低身体的核心温度。)”可知，睡觉前穿袜子暖脚可以促进血管扩张、加快血液流动速度，从而降低核心体温，加快入睡。故选A。 第二节 (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。 Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance.

There was some confusion about which one was born first. As they grew up, the king found a fair way to decide one of them as crown (皇冠) prince. Calling them together, he said seriously, “My sons, the day will come when one of you must be the future king. The burdens (负担) of being a king are very heavy. To find out which of you is better able to bear (承担) them cheerfully, I am sending you together to a far corner of the kingdom. One of my advisors there will place equal burdens on your shoulders (肩膀). My crown will one day go to the one who returns first bearing his burden like a king should.” In a spirit of the friendly competition, the brothers set out together. Soon they met a weak and old woman struggling under a heavy weight. One of the boys suggested that they stop to help her. The other protested: “We have a burden of our own to worry about. Let us be on our way.” So the second son hurried on while the other stayed behind to help the woman with her load. On his journey to the kingdom, the same young man found others who needed help. A blind man who needed help to get home; a lost child whom he carried back to her worried parents; a farmer whose wagon (马车) needed a strong shoulder to push it out of the mud. Eventually he did reach his father’s advisor. There he gained his own burden and started home with it safely on his shoulders. 注意： 1.续写词汇应为 150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1 ： When he arrived back at the palace, his father and brother met him at the gate. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 ： The future king replied thoughtfully. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: When he arrived back at the palace, his father and brother met him at the gate. He couldn’t wait to rush to them and gave them a big hug. However, a flood of anxiety washed over him. In spite of lots of help he had given the people in need, he was still concerned his father would blame him for his returning too late. He was about to explain when his father said to him with a contented smile, “You are the future king. I am really proud of you.” Hearing this, his brother couldn’t hide his inner embarrassment and said in disbelief, “I told Father the burden was too heavy to carry. How did you manage it alone?” Paragraph 2: The future king replied thoughtfully. “I suppose when I helped others carry their burdens, I found the strength to carry my own.” On hearing what the future king said, the brother suddenly understood why his brother was better able to be the owner of the crown. By helping others, he managed to bear the heavy weight. Just as the saying goes, “Rose given, fragrance in hand.” Actually, helping others is helping ourselves. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了国王决定从双胞胎儿子中挑选出未来的国王，因此对他们进行了考验。一路上二儿子担心自己的担子于是急忙赶路，大儿子却不断帮助其他需要帮助的人，最后他找到了自己的担子，安全地扛在肩上回到家。他弟弟问他为什么拿得回担子。原来，在不断帮助他人的过程中，他收获了承担自己责任的力量，帮助别人就是帮助自己。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当他回到宫殿时，他的父亲和弟弟在大门口迎接他。”可知，第一段可描写大儿子回家并成为了未来的国王，弟弟问他为什么他拿得回担子。 ②由第二段首句内容“未来的国王若有所思地回答。”可知，第二段可描写大儿子讲述自己获得力量的原因。弟弟明白了帮助别人就是帮助自己。 2.续写线索：大儿子回到家——害怕父亲责备——成为未来国王——弟弟问他原因——大儿子回答——弟弟明白道理 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①担心：be concerned/ worry about/ care about ②做到：manage/ make/ achieve 情绪类 ①满意的：contented/ satisfied ②怀疑：in disbelief / doubtfully/ skeptically/ distrustfully/ with suspicion 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Though Salazar, 23, and her grandfather, Rene Neira, now 88, never took any classes together, they both studied at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). Salazar graduated with a degree in communications while Neira received a degree of recognition in economics. According to Salazar, Neira has been “in and out of school” since the 1950s, first pausing his education to marry Salazar’s grandmother and raise their family together. When his children got older, Salazar said Neira would “take a few classes here and there” throughout the years. By the time she graduated high school and was enrolling at Palo Alto, her grandfather had decided he wanted to focus more fully on his education, so he also enrolled at the school. Salazar and Neira also graduated from community college together in 2017. Then, they both went on to UTSA. Salazar said they did spend time on campus eating lunch or studying in the library together. Salazar also helped Neira with his emails and online courses. She always drove Neira to commute to campus as he didn’t have his car. Salazar said her favorite memories of going to college with her grandfather were the occasions when he would sometimes attend meeting s for the school club where she was president. “I thought that was really special because he didn’t have to do that, but he would make an effort sometimes to come to my meetings and listen and participate,” Salazar said. Now they’ve both graduated, Salazar said Neira will continue to enjoy retirement. Meanwhile, Salazar is working at a nonprofit and hopes to start an NGO with some of her colleagues. 4. What do we know about Rene Neira and Melanie Salazar? A. They performed on the same stage. B. They were classmates at university. C. They received the same degree together. D. They graduated from the same university. 5. What does the underlined word “commute” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Travel regularly. B. End permanently. C. Start immediately. D. Continue constantly. 6. What was Salazar’s favourite memory of going to college with her grandfather? A. Driving to the campus. B. Studying in the library together. C. Eating lunch together on campus. D. Attending meeting s for the school club. 7. Which of the following words best describes Rene Neira’s story? A. Moving. B. Inspiring. C. Exciting. D. Entertaining. C It’s really true what people say about English politeness: it’s everywhere. When passing through a crowd in a narrow place, people say “sorry”. When getting off a bus, English passengers say “thank you” to the driver. In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles and came to appreciate some more polite ways of communicating with people, and here are some more polite ways of interacting with people in UK. People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customer and shop assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be surprising to hear more than one thank-you in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, which is different from Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough. Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize (批评) others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers repeated several times but none of their explanations were intended as scolding me. It has been my impression that by avoiding scolding, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is showed in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men! 8. What is the author’s feeling of English politeness? A. He thinks highly of it. B. He thinks little of it. C. He thinks it unnecessary. D. He thinks it goes too far. 9. Why does the author mention Germans in paragraph 2? A. To catch readers’ attention. B. To stress English politeness. C. To describe German culture. D. To give tips on how to be polite. 10. Which word can be used to describe English way of pointing out mistakes? A. Rude. B. Direct. C. Acceptable. D. Creative. 11. What method is mainly used to develop the text? A. Telling stories. B. Giving reasons. C. Referring to theories. D. Making comparisons. D If you’re one of those people who has trouble falling asleep, listen up. You might fall asleep 15 minutes earlier and wake up far less during the night if you put on a pair of socks at bedtime. To understand why, you first need to grasp the relationship between core body temperature and sleep. During daylight hours, the human body hums along at an average temperature of 37℃. But at night, your core body temperature decreases as much as 1.2℃ over the course of six or seven hours of sleep. This gradual decrease in core body temperature is a key part of the complicated switch of falling asleep and staying asleep. And the faster you can lower the core body temperature, the faster you will fall asleep. One of the ways that your body controls its temperature is through blood vessels (血管) in your skin. If the brain decides the body is too hot, it will widen blood vessels, transporting warmer blood from the body’s core through the rest of the body to cool it down. If the body is too cold, the brain signals the opposite reaction, reducing the flow of blood to the surface. This is where your feet come in. The palms (掌) of your hands and the bottom surface of your feet are the body’s most efficient heat exchangers, since they are hairless and less insulated (隔热的) than other skin surfaces. Researchers have shown that warming the feet before going to sleep using a warm foot bath or by wearing socks promotes vasodilation (血管扩张), which in turn lowers the body’s core temperature faster than going to sleep with cold, bare feet. 12. What does the underlined word “hums” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Becomes active. B. Stays noisy. C. Gets protection. D. Needs balance. 13. What plays a key role in helping people falling asleep? A. Health conditions. B. Sleep environment. C. Understanding of sleep. D. Changes of core body temperature. 14. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us? A. How blood transports in the body. B. How people fall asleep quickly. C. How body temperature changes. D. How body temperature functions. 15. Why is wearing socks suggested at bedtime? A. To help blood flow faster. B. To prevent feet from cold. C. To protect blood vessels in feet. D. To increase core body temperature. 第二节 (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。 Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance.

There was some confusion about which one was born first. As they grew up, the king found a fair way to decide one of them as crown (皇冠) prince. Calling them together, he said seriously, “My sons, the day will come when one of you must be the future king. The burdens (负担) of being a king are very heavy. To find out which of you is better able to bear (承担) them cheerfully, I am sending you together to a far corner of the kingdom. One of my advisors there will place equal burdens on your shoulders (肩膀). My crown will one day go to the one who returns first bearing his burden like a king should.” In a spirit of the friendly competition, the brothers set out together. Soon they met a weak and old woman struggling under a heavy weight. One of the boys suggested that they stop to help her. The other protested: “We have a burden of our own to worry about. Let us be on our way.” So the second son hurried on while the other stayed behind to help the woman with her load. On his journey to the kingdom the same young man found others who needed help. A blind man who needed help to get home; a lost child whom he carried back to her worried parents; a farmer whose wagon (马车) needed a strong shoulder to push it out of the mud. Eventually he did reach his father’s advisor. There he gained his own burden and started home with it safely on his shoulders. 注意： 1.续写词汇应为 150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1 ： When he arrived back at the palace, his father and brother met him at the gate. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 ： The future king replied thoughtfully. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1~5 CBCCA 6~10 CBCAC 11~15 BCABC 16~20 BACCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
