It first served as a “home away from home” for rural students attending a sports school in neighboring Aba Tibetan-Qiang Autonomous Prefecture. The club provided free meals and accommodation as well as training facilities. Gradually, it became known as a Wushu school for children from rural areas and began to attract a steady flow of students, especially from underdeveloped areas in Sichuan. Some children had already dropped out of school before joining the club, the funder revealed to media in 2017. As these students could not be officially registered as residents of Chengdu, they were not qualified to attend public schools there. Consequently, he employed four teachers to teach academic subjects in the students’ spare time such as on nights and weekends. A boy, born in Aba in 1999, joined the club in 2009. Before that, he was in third grade at a local elementary school. His father passed away before he was born, and the family had been struggling economically ever since. He heard about the club from his headmaster and decided to go there. Starting from scratch, the boy spent two years getting ready to represent the club in Sanda competitions. In 2015, the club introduced MMA (综合格斗) and he switched from Wushu Sanda to MMA in 2015 and won his first match at a competition run by Henan TV. “I was not sure whether I was suitable for Wushu when I first joined the club,” he told news media in May 2021. “But when I raised my arms and shouted in happiness after winning the match, I knew immediately that MMA was something I wanted to do for the rest of my life.” 4. Which statement fits the club? A. It charges for services. B. It targets urban students. C. It has been an entertainment center. D. It has evolved into a Wushu school. 5. How did the funder of the club help students with their studies? A. By turning to media for academic help. B. By qualifying them to attend public schools. C. By finding teachers to instruct them part-time. D By providing materials for them to study independently. 6. What did the boy mentioned in the text want to convey to news media? A. He was born with hardship. B. His initial passion was MMA. C. His first win was of decisive significance. D. He was constantly confident about Wushu. 7. Which words can best describe the club? A.

The smell comes from a mixture of natural materials, like cow waste and untreated sugar. The natural materials help grow and protect crops in an area often hit by extreme weather and heat. Farmers like Raju say natural materials protect their crops from climate change because the soil can hold more water. And they stress the crops’ stronger roots help plants deal with strong winds. Supporters say natural farming is successful in the state because of government support. Now, these methods should be spread across India’s agricultural lands. Without government support for natural farming, most Indian farmers still use farm chemicals and fertilizers. That puts them at risk when extreme weather hits. Many farmers are calling for greater state investment to help them deal with climate change. Last December, a storm brought heavy rainfall across India’s southeastern coast. It flooded towns and fields. Early studies showed more than 240,000 hectares of crops were destroyed in Andhra Pradesh state. Raju said the rainwater on their farms flowed into the ground in one day. The soil can take in more water because it is less solid than soil with farm chemicals. Soil with farm chemicals is dry. He added that planting different crops throughout the year helped keep the soil healthy. However, Raju’s neighbor, Srikanth Kanapala, said his farm was flooded for four days after the storm. Kanapala often uses farm chemicals and fertilizers on his farm. And he said seeing Raju’s crops held strong while his crops failed made him want to learn about other farming methods. Kanapala expected a potential financial hemorrhage of up to $600 as a consequence of the storm, a sum that constituted a significant economic burden for a farmer in India. “For the next planting season, I plan to learn from other farmers to give up farm chemicals,” he said. 8. What drives the expansion of natural farming in India? A. The limited farms. B. The climate impact on crops. C. The increased use of chemicals. D. The reduction of fertilizers. 9. What can be inferred about farm chemicals from paragraph 4? A. They help crops grow strong roots. B. They enhance soil’s water absorption. C. They ensure soil remains consistently wet. D. They make crops less resistant to the storm. 10. What does the underlined word “hemorrhage” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Loss. B. Increase. C. Benefit. D. Aid. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Chemicals: Harming Indian Farms B. Storms: a Threat to Indian Farmers C. Natural Farming: an Answer to Extreme Weather D. Indian Agriculture: Facing the Effect of Climate Change 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自然农业中的一种天然材料可以保护农民的作物免受气候变化的影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Farmers like Raju say natural materials protect their crops from climate change because the soil can hold more water. And they stress the crops’ stronger roots help plants deal with strong winds. Supporters say natural farming is successful in the state because of government support. Now, these methods should be spread across India’s agricultural lands.(像拉朱这样的农民说，天然材料可以保护他们的作物免受气候变化的影响，因为土壤可以容纳更多的水。他们还强调，作物结实的根系有助于植物应对强风。支持者表示，由于政府的支持，自然农业在该州取得了成功。)”可知，气候对农作物的影响推动了印度自然农业的发展。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Soil with farm chemicals is dry. He added that planting different crops throughout the year helped keep the soil healthy. However, Raju’s neighbor, Srikanth Kanapala, said his farm was flooded for four days after the storm. Kanapala often uses farm chemicals and fertilizers on his farm.(施用农药的土壤是干燥的。他补充说，全年种植不同的作物有助于保持土壤健康。然而，Raju的邻居Srikanth Kanapala说，风暴过后，他的农场被洪水淹没了四天。Kanapala经常在他的农场使用农药和化肥。)”可知，农药会使作物对暴风雨的抵抗力降低。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。划线词句后文“a sum that constituted a significant economic burden for a farmer in India(对印度的一个农民来说，这是一笔巨大的经济负担。)”说明农民的经济损失巨大，从而推知划线词句“Kanapala expected a potential financial hemorrhage of up to $600 as a consequence of the storm(Kanapala预计，这场风暴可能造成高达600美元的经济hemorrhage)”其中划线词应为“损失”的意思，与A项同义。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“There is a strong smell that comes off Ratna Raju’s farm in the southeastern Andhra Pradesh state of India. The smell comes from a mixture of natural materials, like cow waste and untreated sugar. The natural materials help grow and protect crops in an area often hit by extreme weather and heat.(在印度东南部安得拉邦， Ratna Raju的农场散发出一股强烈的气味。这种气味来自天然物质的混合物，比如牛粪和未经处理的糖。这种天然材料有助于在一个经常遭受极端天气和高温袭击的地区种植和保护作物。)”可知，本文主要介绍了自然农业中的一种天然材料可以保护农民的作物免受气候变化的影响。C项“自然农业：应对极端天气”能概括文章主旨，为最佳标题。故选C项。 D New research has highlighted the deep link between dietary choices and brain health. Published in Nature, the research showed that a healthy, balanced diet was linked to superior brain health, cognitive function and mental well-being. The study, involving researchers at the University of Warwick, sheds light on how our food preferences not only influence physical health but also significantly impact brain health. The dietary choices of a large sample of 181,990 participants from the UK Biobank were analyzed and a range of physical evaluation including cognitive functions, blood metabolic biomarkers, brain imaging, and genetics unveil new insights into the relationship between nutrition and overall well-being. A balanced diet was associated with better mental health, superior cognitive functions and even higher amounts of grey matter in the brain — linked to intelligence — compared with those with a less varied diet. The study also highlights the need for gradual changes in eating habits, especially for people who are used to tasty but nutrient-poor foods. By slowly reducing sugar and fat intake over time, people may find themselves naturally tend to make healthier food choices. Genetic factors may also contribute to the association between diet and brain health, the scientists believe, showing how a combination of genetic predispositions (倾向) and lifestyle choices shapes well-being. Lead author Professor Jianfeng Feng, University of Warwick, emphasized the importance of establishing healthy food preferences early in life. He said, “Developing a healthy balanced diet from an early age is crucial for healthy growth. To foster the development of a healthy balanced diet, both families and schools should offer a diverse range of nutritious meals and cultivate an environment that supports their physical and mental health.” Co-author Wei Cheng, Fudan University, added, “Our findings underline the associations between dietary patterns and brain health, urging common efforts in promoting nutritional awareness and fostering healthier eating habits across diverse populations.” 12. What did the research done at the University of Warwick centre on? A. The link between exercise and brain health. B. The association between diet and brain health. C. The impact of well-being on cognitive functions. D. The effects of a balanced diet on mental well-being. 13. How did researchers draw their conclusion? A. By analyzing data. B. By conducting surveys. C. By doing experiments. D. By observing participants. 14. Which of the following is influenced by the amount of grey matter in the brain? A. A person’s age. B. A person’s weight. C. A person’s height. D. A person’s cognition. 15. What may the two authors, Jianfeng Feng and Wei Cheng, suggest? A. Getting regular brain health checks. B. Improving the nutrition in every meal. C. Forming healthy eating habits early. D. Promoting health awareness in school. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章的一项研究表明，饮食选择与大脑健康之间有深刻联系，健康均衡的饮食与卓越的大脑健康、认知功能和心理健康有关，强调尽早养成健康的饮食习惯的重要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段中“The study, involving researchers at the University of Warwick, sheds light on how our food preferences not only influence physical health but also significantly impact brain health. (这项由华威大学研究人员参与的研究揭示了我们的食物偏好如何不仅影响身体健康，而且显著影响大脑健康)”可知，华威大学的研究主要集中在饮食与大脑健康之间的关系。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。由第二段“The dietary choices of a large sample of 181,990 participants from the UK Biobank were analyzed and a range of physical evaluation including cognitive functions, blood metabolic biomarkers, brain imaging, and genetics unveil new insights into the relationship between nutrition and overall well-being. (对来自英国生物库的181,990名参与者的大样本饮食选择进行了分析，包括认知功能、血液代谢生物标志物、脑成像和遗传学在内的一系列身体评估揭示了营养与整体健康之间关系的新见解)”可知，研究人员对来自英国生物库的181,990名参与者的大样本饮食选择进行了分析，即通过分析数据得出结论的。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由第三段“A balanced diet was associated with better mental health, superior cognitive functions and even higher amounts of grey matter in the brain — linked to intelligence — compared with those with a less varied diet. (与饮食不太多样化的人相比，均衡的饮食与更好的心理健康、更优的认知功能，甚至与智力相关的大脑灰质含量更高有关)”可知，智力高低与大脑灰质含量多少有关，“一个人的认知”属于大脑智力范畴，会受到大脑灰质数量的影响。故选D项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。由倒数第二段中“Lead author Professor Jianfeng Feng, University of Warwick, emphasized the importance of establishing healthy food preferences early in life. He said, “Developing a healthy balanced diet from an early age is crucial for healthy growth. (主要作者、华威大学冯剑峰教授强调了在生命早期建立健康饮食偏好的重要性。他说：“从小养成健康均衡的饮食习惯对健康成长至关重要)”和最后一段中Wei Cheng说的话“Our findings underline the associations between dietary patterns and brain health, urging common efforts in promoting nutritional awareness and fostering healthier eating habits across diverse populations. (我们的研究结果强调了饮食模式与大脑健康之间的关联，敦促在不同人群中共同努力提高营养意识，培养更健康的饮食习惯)”可知，Jianfeng Feng和Wei Cheng建议人们尽早养成健康的饮食习惯。故选C项。 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。 The Importance of Regular Eye Exams Regular eye exams are just as important as maintaining good eye care habits.

She needs help. She’s lost, hungry and afraid of people. Nobody can catch her. We tried, but she runs. I bet you can catch her. Please?” My teenage son’s dramatic plea (恳求) came from a visitor center where he volunteered. “Not now,” I objected. I love dogs, but at that moment I did not want to take on another project. “Can you please just take a look at her when you come pick me up?” He had confidence in my abilities. When I arrived to pick Nate up, I found the dog he described. Her state was bad with all the diseases in a stray dog. She watched us cautiously, her tail giving the occasional hopeful wag before retreating between her legs as she shied away from any approach. Her eyes, however, were warm and pleading. She wanted to connect but she was afraid. Many years of working with all kinds of distressed animals had hardened my heart. I thought of a thousand reasons why I could not take a dirty dog home. I wanted to get a dog that I could use as a therapy (治疗) dog. I could see that this sad dog was not therapy dog material. Therapy dogs connect to people in ways that can understand human better. I turned and walked away. I convinced Nate to wait a few days to see if the dog’s owner would magically appear. Secretly, I was expecting the dog would disappear. But she didn’t. A friend with a small animal rescue shelter took her for quarantine (检疫) and treatment. I knew she was safe but the dog’s eyes haunted me. That longing look kept returning to my mind, pleading for connection. After a couple of weeks, I gave in and brought the dog home with me. She was quickly accepted by other dogs in my home. Cleaned up and fed, she looked like a short and strong Border Collie (博得牧羊犬) with gold and white fur. I named her Leala. 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。 A month or so later, at a routine checkup, what the vet (兽医) said excited me. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within another month, Leala and I were in a therapy dog training class. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】A month or so later, at a routine checkup, what the vet(兽医) said excited me. “This dog is incredibly gentle and has a high intelligence,” the vet remarked, clearly impressed with Leala's demeanor. “She might just be what you're looking for in a therapy dog,” he added, noticing my surprise. His words resonated with me, challenging my preconceived notions about what qualifies a dog for such a role. It was a revelation that Leala's inherent qualities might indeed serve a greater purpose, connecting with people in a profound way. Within another month, Leala and I were in a therapy dog training class. To my delight, she adapted to the training environment seamlessly, demonstrating an intuitive understanding of human emotions and a natural affinity for providing comfort. Her progress was nothing short of remarkable, as she effortlessly mastered commands and responded to the subtlest of cues. It was as if she had found her true calling, transforming from a fearful stray to a compassionate companion, ready to bring solace to those in need. 【解析】 【导语】本文以流浪狗Leala的救助与成长为线索，讲述了作者从最初对救助一只流浪狗的犹豫，到收养并最终将其培养成治疗犬的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一个月左右后，在一次常规体检时，兽医说的话让我兴奋。”可知，第一段可描写作者带Leala进行体检，兽医对Leala的评价及其对作者情绪的影响。 ②由第二段首句内容“在另一个月内，Leala和我参加了治疗犬训练班。”可知，第二段可描写Leala在治疗犬训练班中的适应情况和作者的欣慰感受。 2.续写线索：体检的惊喜——发现潜力——参加训练——情感适应——角色转变 3.词汇激活： 行为类 体检：checkup → examination 适应：adapt → adjust 掌握：master → acquire 情绪类 兴奋的：excited → elated 欣慰的：delighted → pleased 恐惧的：fearful → terrified 【点睛】【高分句型1】His words resonated with me, challenging my preconceived notions about what qualifies a dog for such a role.（运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型2】It was as if she had found her true calling, transforming from a fearful stray to a compassionate companion.（运用了虚拟语气和现在分词作状语） 1—5 CACAB 6—10 ABBAC 11—15 BACBA 16—20 CABAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二英语试卷 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.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。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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卡上。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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?

It first served as a “home away from home” for rural students attending a sports school in neighboring Aba Tibetan-Qiang Autonomous Prefecture. The club provided free meals and accommodation as well as training facilities. Gradually, it became known as a Wushu school for children from rural areas and began to attract a steady flow of students, especially from underdeveloped areas in Sichuan. Some children had already dropped out of school before joining the club, the funder revealed to media in 2017. As these students could not be officially registered as residents of Chengdu, they were not qualified to attend public schools there. Consequently, he employed four teachers to teach academic subjects in the students’ spare time such as on nights and weekends. A boy, born in Aba in 1999, joined the club in 2009. Before that, he was in third grade at a local elementary school. His father passed away before he was born, and the family had been struggling economically ever since. He heard about the club from his headmaster and decided to go there. Starting from scratch, the boy spent two years getting ready to represent the club in Sanda competitions. In 2015, the club introduced MMA (综合格斗) and he switched from Wushu Sanda to MMA in 2015 and won his first match at a competition run by Henan TV. “I was not sure whether I was suitable for Wushu when I first joined the club,” he told news media in May 2021. “But when I raised my arms and shouted in happiness after winning the match, I knew immediately that MMA was something I wanted to do for the rest of my life.” 4. Which statement fits the club? A. It charges for services. B. It targets urban students. C. It has been an entertainment center. D. It has evolved into a Wushu school. 5. How did the funder of the club help students with their studies? A. By turning to media for academic help. B. By qualifying them to attend public schools. C. By finding teachers to instruct them part-time. D. By providing materials for them to study independently. 6. What did the boy mentioned in the text want to convey to news media? A. He was born with hardship. B. His initial passion was MMA. C. His first win was of decisive significance. D. He was constantly confident about Wushu. 7. Which words can best describe the club? A. Official and selective. B. Supportive and influential. C. Exclusive and conventional. D. Temporary and unstructured. C There is a strong smell that comes off Ratna Raju’s farm in the southeastern Andhra Pradesh state of India. The smell comes from a mixture of natural materials, like cow waste and untreated sugar. The natural materials help grow and protect crops in an area often hit by extreme weather and heat. Farmers like Raju say natural materials protect their crops from climate change because the soil can hold more water. And they stress the crops’ stronger roots help plants deal with strong winds. Supporters say natural farming is successful in the state because of government support. Now, these methods should be spread across India’s agricultural lands. Without government support for natural farming, most Indian farmers still use farm chemicals and fertilizers. That puts them at risk when extreme weather hits. Many farmers are calling for greater state investment to help them deal with climate change. Last December, a storm brought heavy rainfall across India’s southeastern coast. It flooded towns and fields. Early studies showed more than 240,000 hectares of crops were destroyed in Andhra Pradesh state. Raju said the rainwater on their farms flowed into the ground in one day. The soil can take in more water because it is less solid than soil with farm chemicals. Soil with farm chemicals is dry. He added that planting different crops throughout the year helped keep the soil healthy. However, Raju’s neighbor, Srikanth Kanapala, said his farm was flooded for four days after the storm. Kanapala often uses farm chemicals and fertilizers on his farm. And he said seeing Raju’s crops held strong while his crops failed made him want to learn about other farming methods. Kanapala expected a potential financial hemorrhage of up to $600 as a consequence of the storm, a sum that constituted a significant economic burden for a farmer in India. “For the next planting season, I plan to learn from other farmers to give up farm chemicals,” he said. 8. What drives the expansion of natural farming in India? A The limited farms. B. The climate impact on crops. C. The increased use of chemicals. D. The reduction of fertilizers. 9. What can be inferred about farm chemicals from paragraph 4? A. They help crops grow strong roots. B. They enhance soil’s water absorption. C. They ensure soil remains consistently wet. D. They make crops less resistant to the storm. 10. What does the underlined word “hemorrhage” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Loss. B. Increase. C. Benefit. D. Aid. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Chemicals: Harming Indian Farms B. Storms: a Threat to Indian Farmers C. Natural Farming: an Answer to Extreme Weather D Indian Agriculture: Facing the Effect of Climate Change D New research has highlighted the deep link between dietary choices and brain health. Published in Nature, the research showed that a healthy, balanced diet was linked to superior brain health, cognitive function and mental well-being. The study, involving researchers at the University of Warwick, sheds light on how our food preferences not only influence physical health but also significantly impact brain health. The dietary choices of a large sample of 181,990 participants from the UK Biobank were analyzed and a range of physical evaluation including cognitive functions, blood metabolic biomarkers, brain imaging, and genetics unveil new insights into the relationship between nutrition and overall well-being. A balanced diet was associated with better mental health, superior cognitive functions and even higher amounts of grey matter in the brain — linked to intelligence — compared with those with a less varied diet. The study also highlights the need for gradual changes in eating habits, especially for people who are used to tasty but nutrient-poor foods. By slowly reducing sugar and fat intake over time, people may find themselves naturally tend to make healthier food choices. Genetic factors may also contribute to the association between diet and brain health, the scientists believe, showing how a combination of genetic predispositions (倾向) and lifestyle choices shapes well-being. Lead author Professor Jianfeng Feng, University of Warwick, emphasized the importance of establishing healthy food preferences early in life. He said, “Developing a healthy balanced diet from an early age is crucial for healthy growth. To foster the development of a healthy balanced diet, both families and schools should offer a diverse range of nutritious meals and cultivate an environment that supports their physical and mental health.” Co-author Wei Cheng, Fudan University, added, “Our findings underline the associations between dietary patterns and brain health, urging common efforts in promoting nutritional awareness and fostering healthier eating habits across diverse populations.” 12. What did the research done at the University of Warwick centre on? A. The link between exercise and brain health. B. The association between diet and brain health. C. The impact of well-being on cognitive functions. D. The effects of a balanced diet on mental well-being. 13 How did researchers draw their conclusion? A. By analyzing data. B. By conducting surveys. C. By doing experiments. D. By observing participants. 14. Which of the following is influenced by the amount of grey matter in the brain? A. A person’s age. B. A person’s weight. C. A person’s height. D. A person’s cognition. 15. What may the two authors, Jianfeng Feng and Wei Cheng, suggest? A. Getting regular brain health checks. B. Improving the nutrition in every meal. C. Forming healthy eating habits early. D. Promoting health awareness in school. 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。 The Importance of Regular Eye Exams Regular eye exams are just as important as maintaining good eye care habits.

She needs help. She’s lost, hungry and afraid of people. Nobody can catch her. We tried, but she runs. I bet you can catch her. Please?” My teenage son’s dramatic plea (恳求) came from a visitor center where he volunteered. “Not now,” I objected. I love dogs, but at that moment I did not want to take on another project. “Can you please just take a look at her when you come pick me up?” He had confidence in my abilities. When I arrived to pick Nate up, I found the dog he described. Her state was bad with all the diseases in a stray dog. She watched us cautiously, her tail giving the occasional hopeful wag before retreating between her legs as she shied away from any approach. Her eyes, however, were warm and pleading. She wanted to connect but she was afraid. Many years of working with all kinds of distressed animals had hardened my heart. I thought of a thousand reasons why I could not take a dirty dog home. I wanted to get a dog that I could use as a therapy (治疗) dog. I could see that this sad dog was not therapy dog material. Therapy dogs connect to people in ways that can understand human better. I turned and walked away. I convinced Nate to wait a few days to see if the dog’s owner would magically appear. Secretly, I was expecting the dog would disappear. But she didn’t. A friend with a small animal rescue shelter took her for quarantine (检疫) and treatment. I knew she was safe but the dog’s eyes haunted me. That longing look kept returning to my mind, pleading for connection. After a couple of weeks, I gave in and brought the dog home with me. She was quickly accepted by other dogs in my home. Cleaned up and fed, she looked like a short and strong Border Collie (博得牧羊犬) with gold and white fur. I named her Leala. 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。 A month or so later, at a routine checkup, what the vet (兽医) said excited me. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Within another month, Leala and I were in a therapy dog training class. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1—5 CACAB 6—10 ABBAC 11—15 BACBA 16—20 CABAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
