New researchers found that middle-aged women who were physically fit could be nearly 90 percent less likely to develop dementia in later life, and as they did, it came on a decade later than less sporty women. Lead researcher Dr. Helena Horder, of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, said : "These findings are exciting because it’s possible that improving people's cardiovascular （心血管的）fitness in middle age could delay or even prevent them from developing dementia. " For the study, 191 women with an average age of 50 took a bicycle exercise test until they were exhausted to measure their peak （最大值的） cardiovascular capacity. The average peak workload was measured at 103 watts. A total of 40 women met the criteria for a high fitness level, or 120 watts or higher. A total of 92 women were in the medium fitness category; and 59 women were in the low fitness category, defined as a peak workload of 80 watts or less, or having their exercise tests stopped because of high blood pressure, chest pain or other cardiovascular problems. These women were then tested for dementia six times over the following four decades. During that time, 44 of the women developed dementia. Five percent of the highly fit women developed dementia, compared to 25 percent of the women with medium fitness and 32 percent of the women with low fitness. "However, this study does not show cause and effect between cardiovascular fitness and dementia, it only shows an association. More research is needed to see if improved fitness could have a positive effect on the risk of dementia and also to look at when during a lifetime a high fitness level is most important. " She also admitted that a relatively small number of women were studied, all of whom were form Sweden, so the results might not be applicable to other groups. 24. What is on the ever-growing list mentioned in the first paragraph? A. Positive effects of doing exercises. B. Exercises suitable for the middle-aged. C. Experimental studies on diseases. D. Advantages of sporty woman over man 25. Why did the researchers ask the women to do bicycle exercise? A. To predict their maximum heart rate. B. To assess their cardiovascular capacity C. To change their habits of working out D. To detect their potential health problems 26. What do we know about Dr Horder's study? A. It aimed to find a cure for dementia. B. Data collection was a lengthy process. C. Some participants withdrew from it. D. The results were far from satisfactory. 27 Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. More Women Are Exercising to Prevent Dementia B. Middle-Aged Women Need to Do More Exercise C. Fit Women Are Less Likely to Develop Dementia D. Biking Improves Women's Cardiovascular Fitness 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了经常锻炼的中年女性在老年时罹患失智症的几率会大大降低。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“New researchers found that middle-aged women who were physically fit could be nearly 90 percent less likely to develop dementia （失智症） in later life, and as they did, it came on a decade later than less sporty women.”（新的研究人员发现，身体健康的中年女性在晚年患痴呆症的可能性要低近90%，而且确实如此，与不太喜欢运动的女性相比，她们患痴呆症的时间要晚十年。）可知，第一段提到了健身锻炼的好处。故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据上文“These findings are exciting because it’s possible that improving people's cardiovascular fitness in middle age could delay or even prevent them from developing dementia.”（这些发现令人兴奋，因为在中年时改善人们的心血管健康可能会延缓甚至防止他们患上痴呆症。）以及本段“For the study, 191 women with an average age of 50 took a bicycle exercise test until they were exhausted to measure their peak cardiovascular capacity.”（在这项研究中，191名平均年龄为50岁的女性进行了自行车运动测试，直到她们精疲力竭，以测量她们的心血管峰值能力。）可知，做这项实验的目的是为了测试女性的心血管峰值能力。故选B项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“These women were then tested for dementia six times over the following four decades.”（这些女性在随后的四十年里测试了六次失智症状况。）可知，此次实验的数据收集是一个长期的过程。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“New researchers found that middle-aged women who were physically fit could be nearly 90 percent less likely to develop dementia （失智症） in later life, and as they did, it came on a decade later than less sporty women.”（新的研究人员发现，身体健康的中年女性在晚年患痴呆症的可能性要低近90%，而且确实如此，与不太喜欢运动的女性相比，她们患痴呆症的时间要晚十年。）以及文章后面几段通过列举实验目的、过程、方式、结果等，说明了身体健康的中年女性在老年时患失智症的几率会大大降低。故选C项。 【点睛】 C In the fictional worlds of film and TV, artificial intelligence (AI) has been described as so advanced that it is indistinguishable from humans. But what if we’re actually getting closer to a world where AI is capable of thinking and feeling? Tech company UneeQ is heading for its “digital humans”, which appear life like on the screen not only in terms of language, but also because of facial movements: raised eyebrows, a smile, even a nod. They look close to a human, but not quite. What lies beneath UneeQ's digital humans? Their 3D faces are modeled on actual human features. Speech recognition enables them to understand what a person is saying, and natural language processing is used to work out a response. Meanwhile, another AI company, Soul Machines, is taking a more biological approach, with a “digital brain”, that imitates aspects of the human brain to adjust the emotions “felt” and “expressed” by its “digital people”. Shiwali Mohan, an AI scientist at the Palo Research Center, is skeptical of these digital beings. “They’re humanlike in their looks and the way they sound, but that in itself is not being human.” she says. “Human qualities also involve how you think, how you approach problems. and how you break them down: and that takes a lot of algorithmic (算法) design. Designing for human-level intelligence is a different attempt than designing images that behave like humans.” She then continues. “If something looks like a human, we have high expectations of them, but they might behave differently in ways that humans just instinctively (直觉地) know how other humans react.” Yet the demand is there, with UneeQ seeing high adoption of its digital employees across the financial, health care, and commercial sectors (行业). “Unless these sectors make their business models much more efficient digitally, they might be left behind,” says Chetan Dube, UneeQ's CEO. Some other companies are taking their digital beings a step further, enabling organizations and individuals to create digital humans themselves using free-access platforms they provide. “The biggest motivation for such platforms is to popularize AI.” Dube says. Mohan is cautious about this approach, yet she supports the purpose behind these digital beings and is optimistic about where they are headed. As we develop more advanced AI technology, we would then have to use new ways of communicating with that technology, she says. “Hopefully, all of that is designed to support humans in their goals.” 28. According to Para. 2, in what respect(s) do UneeQ's “digital humans” resemble human beings? A. In the way they move around. B. In the way they act and react. C. In observation and analysis. D. In speech and facial expressions. 29. Soul Machines’ digital brain is a technological breakthrough because it ________. A. tends to imitate human beings’ tone vividly B. learns to make proper emotional responses C. recognizes the speech sounds it receives D. processes the natural language it hears 30. In Mohan’s opinion, what human quality is lacking in digital beings? A. Calculating brain. B. Language skills. C. Problem-solving ability. D. Instinctive judgements. 31. What makes many sectors employ digital humans? A. The urgency to promote e-commerce. B. The fear of falling behind in efficiency. C. The wish to spread digital technology. D. The need to upgrade the health care system. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了许多科技公司正在推进、研发“数字人”，并被很多部门使用。但一些科学家对此表示怀疑，并指出了“数字人”并不是真正的人类，有很多缺陷，但前景还是很有希望的。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Tech company UneeQ is heading for its “digital humans”, which appear life like on the screen not only in terms of language, but also because of facial movements: raised eyebrows, a smile, even a nod.(科技公司UneeQ正朝着其“数字人”的方向发展，这种人在屏幕上看起来像真人，不仅在语言方面，还因为面部动作：扬起眉毛、微笑，甚至点头)”可知，UneeQ的“数字人”在语言和面部动作方面与人类相似。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Meanwhile, another AI company, Soul Machines, is taking a more biological approach, with a “digital brain”, that imitates aspects of the human brain to adjust the emotions “felt” and “expressed” by its “digital people”.(与此同时，另一家人工智能公司Soul Machines正在采取一种更具生物学意义的方法，建立一个“数字大脑”，模仿人脑的各个方面来调整其“数字人”“感受到”和“表达”的情绪)”可知，Soul Machines的数字大脑是一项技术突破，是因为它可以学会做出适当的情绪反应。故选B项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““They’re humanlike in their looks and the way they sound, but that in itself is not being human.” she says. “Human qualities also involve how you think, how you approach problems. and how you break them down: and that takes a lot of algorithmic (算法) design. Designing for human-level intelligence is a different attempt than designing images that behave like humans.” She then continues. “If something looks like a human, we have high expectations of them, but they might behave differently in ways that humans just instinctively (直觉地) know how other humans react.”(她说：“它们的长相和声音都很像人，但这本身就不是人。”。“人的素质还包括你如何思考，如何处理问题，以及如何分解问题：这需要大量的算法设计。为人类水平的智能进行设计与设计行为像人类的图像不同。”她接着说道。“如果某个东西看起来像人类，我们对它们有很高的期望，但它们的行为可能会有所不同，人类只是本能地知道其他人的反应。”)”可知，在Mohan看来，人类可以本能地知道其他人的反应，而数字人缺少本能的判断。故选D项。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Yet the demand is there, with UneeQ seeing high adoption of its digital employees across the financial, health care, and commercial sectors (行业). “Unless these sectors make their business models much more efficient digitally, they might be left behind,” says Chetan Dube, UneeQ's CEO.(然而，需求是存在的，UneeQ看到其数字员工在金融、医疗保健和商业部门被大量采用。UneeQ的首席执行官Chetan Dube表示：“除非这些部门的商业模式在数字方面更加高效，否则它们可能会被甩在后面。”)”可知，担心效率落后让许多行业使用“数字人”。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题题；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。 Too much stuff, too much to do, too much stress.... These are weighing people down and breaking their spirit. ___32___ Here are several things to help you get started. The first step is to sort out your possessions. To live a simple life, you need a simple living space. So take some time to tidy your living area. Focus on keeping things that you value deeply and throw away things that you don’t need any longer. ___33___ Finally, you will be shocked to see how few possessions you actually use in your daily life. ___34___ As humans we tend to think what we are used to as naturally right. However, there could be problems in the million little things that bother us as we go about our day. The best skill you can develop in your life is the ability to take a step back and look at things objectively by raising doubts about what is seemingly the way it is supposed to be. We should always stay mindful and live with intention. If there is something in your life that you don’t love, change it! Cut out the things that aren’t serving you. You can write down what an ideal day would look like for you in five years’ time. Then outline what things you want more in your life and what things you want less. ___35___ Managing your time wisely counts. ___36___ Instead, take some time to think about whether it’s something that you are excited about attending. Be intentional with how you spend your time and take control of what you do. This is how you can guarantee yourself a flexible schedule and do everything in an unhurried way. A. Minimalists live intentionally B. Complete the process in several sweeps. C. Don’t reply “yes” to everything you’re invited to. D. With that in hand, you have a goal to work towards. E. From time to time you need to question about your lifestyle. F. That’s why there is a growing interest in the minimalist lifestyle. G. Having a flexible schedule depends on you taking control of things. 【答案】32. F 33. B 34. E 35. D 36. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何开始过上极简主义生活的几点建议。 【32题详解】 根据空前的“Too much stuff, too much to do, too much stress... These are weighing people down and breaking their spirit.(太多的事情，太多的事情要做，太多的压力……这些正在压垮人们，击垮他们的精神。)”可知，太多的事情，太多的压力让人们不堪重负，而空后“Here are several things to help you get started.(这里有几件事可以帮助您入门。)”讲述的是帮助你如何开始，由此可知，该空为过渡句，引出帮助人们开始过上的是什么样的生活，F选项“That’s why there is a growing interest in the minimalist lifestyle.(这就是为什么人们对极简主义生活方式越来越感兴趣的原因。)”讲述的是人们对过极简生活方式感兴趣，与空前为因果关系，同时过渡到下文，起到了承上启下的作用。故选F项。 【33题详解】 根据空后的“Finally, you will be shocked to see how few possessions you actually use in your daily life.(最后，你会震惊地发现你在日常生活中实际使用的财产是多么少。)”可知，最后你会对自己的成果感到惊讶，所以可推断，此空应表示打扫的工作已经完成，B选项“Complete the process in several sweeps.(在几次清理后完成该过程。)”中的完成这一过程与下文内容衔接，符合逻辑。故选B项。 【34题详解】 分析语篇可知，该空为本段的主题句，根据空后的“The best skill you can develop in your life is the ability to take a step back and look at things objectively by raising doubts about what is seemingly the way it is supposed to be.( 你在生活中所能培养的最好的技能就是能够退一步，客观地看待事物，对看似应该是这样的事情提出质疑。)”可知，作者建议人们对看似应该是这样的事情提出质疑，E选项“From time to time you need to question about your lifestyle.(有时您需要质疑自己的生活方式。)”中的质疑当前的生活方式可以作为本段主题，与下文内容吻合。故选E项。 【35题详解】 根据本段主题句“We should always stay mindful and live with intention.(我们应该始终保持正念，并有目的地生活。)”可知，本段讲述的内容是建议我们带着目标生活，D选项“With that in hand, you have a goal to work towards.(有了这些，你就有了一个努力的目标。)”讲述的为我们有为之努力的目标，其中的goal与intention为同义词，且与主题吻合。故选D项。 【36题详解】 根据空后的“Instead, take some time to think about whether it’s something that you are excited about attending.( 相反，花点时间想想你是否有兴趣参加。)”的instead可知，此处讲述的内容是该如何做，所以空处应为不要做什么，C选项“Don’t reply “yes” to everything you’re invited to.(不要对你被邀请参加的所有事情都回答“是”。)”讲述的是不要事事都答应，内容符合题意且逻辑合理。故选C项。 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分35分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。 While taking a 20-hour train ride along the edge of the Taklimakan Desert in northwestern China, I had the kind of humbling, educational, and above all else, wonderful ____37____ with a local that all travelers long for.

When the time came to register for tenth grade, I went to the principals office and told the staff my parents could not pay the tuition (学费). Although I was the top student in my class. I was sent home. This was a heartbreaking experience, as I loved being in school and desperately wanted to continue my education. I went home and spent the day helping my father at his tire repair shop. He could barely earn enough to pay the tuition of my two brothers. A very old man saw me in the shop and wondered why I was not in school. I told him I was sent home because of lack of funding. He offered to help by calling the principal of another school to ask him to register me tuition-free. Even though the school was far away from my home, I could not pass up the opportunity to continue my education. I took a city bus to downtown Beirut and went to the principals office. Embarrassed to tell him that I was supposed to get free tuition, I told the principal that arrangements had been made for me to study at a discounted tuition. I was shocked when the principal screamed at me that there was no such thing as a discounted tuition. I immediately turned around and rushed back to my fathers tire shop. It was at that moment that my hope was totally ruined. However, things took an unexpected turn three days later. One of my classmates from Sophia came over. Our principal had sent her to tell me that I should come back to school. When I arrived, I told the registrar (教务主任) that I could not pay the tuition. She informed me that my tuition was fully paid and that I should join my classmates. I asked who had paid it so I could thank that wonderful individual. But I was told that the benefactor wanted to remain anonymous (匿名) and keep it a secret. 注意：所续写短文的词数应为150左右。 I went to my classroom, feeling extremely puzzled. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The registrar was finally persuaded to inform me that it was my teacher, Ms Balian. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Paragraph 1: I went to my classroom, feeling extremely puzzled. I kept wondering who had been so kind to give me this golden opportunity to continue my education. I went back to the principal’s office after classes and begged the registrar to disclose the name of the benefactor. Hard as I tried to talk her into giving me a clue, she insisted that she had to keep the secret. Then I had no alternative but to make a promise that I wouldn’t go and thank the person and risk the registrar’s getting fired for breaking confidentiality. Paragraph 2: The registrar was finally persuaded to inform me that it was my teacher, Ms Balian. She went on explaining that when the school year started and Ms Balian noticed my desk was empty, she inquired why I was not in school. After learning the truth, she then told the principal to deduct my tuition from her salary. The whole year I sat in Ms Balian’s class, but was unable to express my appreciation for her kind gesture. Yet I would never forget the kindness and generosity, without which I probably would have spent the rest of my life repairing tires at my father’s tire repair shop. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因家庭经济困难，无法支付学费而被迫辍学。在绝望之际，一位神秘的好心人匿名资助了作者的学费，使作者得以重返校园继续学业。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我走进教室，感到非常困惑。”可知，第一段可描写作者去恳求教务主任，想知道资助自己的好心人是谁。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，教务主任被说服告知我是我的老师巴里安女士。”可知，第二段可描写教务主任解释作者的老师提供帮助的原因和方式，作者永远不会忘记自己老师的善良和慷慨。 2.续写线索：作者想知道好心人是谁——找教务主任询问——作者承诺不会去感谢那位好心人——得知好心人是自己的老师——教务主任解释对方提供帮助的原因和方式——作者没有表示感谢，但永远心存感激 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①继续：continue/go on ②坚持：insist/persist ③注意到：notice/spot/observe 情绪类 ①感激：appreciation/thankfulness ②善良：kindness/goodness 【点睛】【高分句型1】I kept wondering who had been so kind to give me this golden opportunity to continue my education.(运用了who引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】Yet I would never forget the kindness and generosity, without which I probably would have spent the rest of my life repairing tires at my father’s tire repair shop.(运用了without which引导的非限制性定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 辛集市2023-2024学年度第二学期期末教学质量监测 高二英语试卷 注意事项： 1. 本试卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟，另附加卷面分5分。 2. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 3. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。 4. 考生必须保证答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，请将答题卡交回，试卷由考生保留。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题纸上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

B The benefits of regular exercise are well documented but there’s a new bonus to add to the ever-growing list. New researchers found that middle-aged women who were physically fit could be nearly 90 percent less likely to develop dementia in later life, and as they did, it came on a decade later than less sporty women. Lead researcher Dr. Helena Horder, of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, said : "These findings are exciting because it’s possible that improving people's cardiovascular （心血管的）fitness in middle age could delay or even prevent them from developing dementia. " For the study, 191 women with an average age of 50 took a bicycle exercise test until they were exhausted to measure their peak （最大值的） cardiovascular capacity. The average peak workload was measured at 103 watts. A total of 40 women met the criteria for a high fitness level, or 120 watts or higher. A total of 92 women were in the medium fitness category; and 59 women were in the low fitness category, defined as a peak workload of 80 watts or less, or having their exercise tests stopped because of high blood pressure, chest pain or other cardiovascular problems. These women were then tested for dementia six times over the following four decades. During that time, 44 of the women developed dementia. Five percent of the highly fit women developed dementia, compared to 25 percent of the women with medium fitness and 32 percent of the women with low fitness. "However, this study does not show cause and effect between cardiovascular fitness and dementia, it only shows an association. More research is needed to see if improved fitness could have a positive effect on the risk of dementia and also to look at when during a lifetime a high fitness level is most important.

Biking Improves Women's Cardiovascular Fitness C In the fictional worlds of film and TV, artificial intelligence (AI) has been described as so advanced that it is indistinguishable from humans. But what if we’re actually getting closer to a world where AI is capable of thinking and feeling? Tech company UneeQ is heading for its “digital humans”, which appear life like on the screen not only in terms of language, but also because of facial movements: raised eyebrows, a smile, even a nod. They look close to a human, but not quite. What lies beneath UneeQ's digital humans? Their 3D faces are modeled on actual human features. Speech recognition enables them to understand what a person is saying and natural language processing is used to work out a response. Meanwhile, another AI company, Soul Machines, is taking a more biological approach, with a “digital brain”, that imitates aspects of the human brain to adjust the emotions “felt” and “expressed” by its “digital people”. Shiwali Mohan, an AI scientist at the Palo Research Center, is skeptical of these digital beings. “They’re humanlike in their looks and the way they sound, but that in itself is not being human.” she says. “Human qualities also involve how you think, how you approach problems. and how you break them down: and that takes a lot of algorithmic (算法) design. Designing for human-level intelligence is a different attempt than designing images that behave like humans.” She then continues. “If something looks like a human, we have high expectations of them, but they might behave differently in ways that humans just instinctively (直觉地) know how other humans react.” Yet the demand is there, with UneeQ seeing high adoption of its digital employees across the financial, health care, and commercial sectors (行业). “Unless these sectors make their business models much more efficient digitally, they might be left behind,” says Chetan Dube, UneeQ's CEO. Some other companies are taking their digital beings a step further, enabling organizations and individuals to create digital humans themselves using free-access platforms they provide. “The biggest motivation for such platforms is to popularize AI.” Dube says. Mohan is cautious about this approach, yet she supports the purpose behind these digital beings and is optimistic about where they are headed. As we develop more advanced AI technology, we would then have to use new ways of communicating with that technology, she says. “Hopefully, all of that is designed to support humans in their goals.” 28. According to Para. 2, in what respect(s) do UneeQ's “digital humans” resemble human beings? A. In the way they move around. B. In the way they act and react. C. In observation and analysis. D. In speech and facial expressions. 29. Soul Machines’ digital brain is a technological breakthrough because it ________. A. tends to imitate human beings’ tone vividly B. learns to make proper emotional responses C. recognizes the speech sounds it receives D. processes the natural language it hears 30. In Mohan’s opinion, what human quality is lacking in digital beings? A. Calculating brain. B. Language skills. C. Problem-solving ability. D. Instinctive judgements. 31. What makes many sectors employ digital humans? A. The urgency to promote e-commerce. B. The fear of falling behind in efficiency. C. The wish to spread digital technology. D. The need to upgrade the health care system. 第二节（共5小题题；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。 Too much stuff, too much to do, too much stress....

When the time came to register for tenth grade, I went to the principals office and told the staff my parents could not pay the tuition (学费). Although I was the top student in my class. I was sent home. This was a heartbreaking experience, as I loved being in school and desperately wanted to continue my education. I went home and spent the day helping my father at his tire repair shop. He could barely earn enough to pay the tuition of my two brothers. A very old man saw me in the shop and wondered why I was not in school. I told him I was sent home because of lack of funding. He offered to help by calling the principal of another school to ask him to register me tuition-free. Even though the school was far away from my home, I could not pass up the opportunity to continue my education. I took a city bus to downtown Beirut and went to the principals office. Embarrassed to tell him that I was supposed to get free tuition, I told the principal that arrangements had been made for me to study at a discounted tuition. I was shocked when the principal screamed at me that there was no such thing as a discounted tuition. I immediately turned around and rushed back to my fathers tire shop. It was at that moment that my hope was totally ruined. However, things took an unexpected turn three days later. One of my classmates from Sophia came over. Our principal had sent her to tell me that I should come back to school. When I arrived, I told the registrar (教务主任) that I could not pay the tuition. She informed me that my tuition was fully paid and that I should join my classmates. I asked who had paid it so I could thank that wonderful individual. But I was told that the benefactor wanted to remain anonymous (匿名) and keep it a secret. 注意：所续写短文的词数应为150左右。 I went to my classroom, feeling extremely puzzled. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The registrar was finally persuaded to inform me that it was my teacher, Ms Balian. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
