US company JUST has announced that lab-grown meat could be on some restaurant menus in the United States and Asia by the end of 2018, The Independent reported. “These meats include chicken nuggets (鸡块), sausage and foie gras (鹅肝酱),” Josh Tetrick, CEO of JUST, told The Independent. Lab meat is sometimes referred to as “clean meat”. It is made using the stem cells (干细胞) of living livestock. The cells need to be grown in a lab for a few weeks. For example, making a hamburger patty (肉饼) takes about nine weeks, CNN reported. This is faster than raising a cow, which usually takes over 20 weeks. The first clean meat was a beef burger that was produced in 2013, but it was said to taste quite dry. How does clean meat taste now? Clean meat supporters told CNN that they think it tastes just like traditional meat. Clean meat has other advantages. It is healthier than traditional meat. Meat producers can control what type of fat goes into the meat. They can produce clean meat that contains healthy fats, such as omega-3 fatty acids (脂肪酸). This kind of fat is good for people’s hearts. Clean meat can also help to solve global warming. According to The Washington Post, about 14.5 percent of the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions (排放) come from raising livestock. That’s more than the emissions from every car, train, ship and airplane in the world combined. It is predicted that switching to clean meat could lower greenhouse gas emissions by 96 percent, The Independent reported. 4. Where may the meat we eat come from in future? A. Companies. B. Greenhouses. C. Labs. D. Restaurants. 5. What can be used to make “clean meat”? A. Stem cells. B. Fatty acids. C Hamburger patties. D. Chicken nuggets. 6. What is the advantage of clean meat? A. It is fatty. B. It is healthy. C. It is free. D. It is smelly. 7 What do we know about clean meat from the last paragraph? A. It comes from livestock. B. It can be switched off. C. It results in global warming. D. It benefits environment. C The hens look up at me from their nesting boxes. They seem slightly annoyed but unsurprised. A child runs up, pushes one of the chickens aside, and snatches two eggs. Around me, a half-dozen more children and adults collect eggs while a half-dozen others hand-feed dried mealworms to birds flocking around our ankles. I reach for an egg from an empty nest. There is something perfect about the way it fits warmly in the palm of my hand before I transfer it into a pretty wire basket provided to me by my hosts. The egg harvest is a brief, carefully designed agritourism experience offering an experience of the labor rather than just having a bite of food. Snatching a few eggs and uprooting a few vegetables on the farm tour don’t constitute a full day’s work, but it is also a useful reminder that food doesn’t just magically appear on restaurant plates and grocery store shelves. Of course, visitors can take those eggs home or bring them to the on-farm restaurant, Clay, where a chef will use them to prepare breakfast. A few centuries of industrialization, urbanization, and globalization have collected people into cities, but the attraction of the countryside has always remained. In the new urban-centered world, enterprising farmers have found plenty of opportunities to sell their rural lifestyle along with their crops. Italy promoted the modern model for combining agriculture and tourism in the wake of World War II, when the national government encouraged rural populations to continue producing food rather than move to urban areas in search of more profitable jobs. Agritourism acts as an umbrella term for a wide variety of activities that take place on farms, including farmstays, where guests sleep on-site. For varying investments of time, energy, and money, anyone can engage in our farming system, giving consumers a peek behind the farm-to-table world. 8. Why does the author describe children and adults collecting eggs in the beginning? A. To introduce agritourism. B. To describe the use of eggs. C. To show the innocence of the children. D. To emphasize the happiness of the children and adults. 9. What is accessible to consumers in agritourism activities? A. Engaging in planting vegetables in person. B. Doing some simple but meaningful farm-work. C. Enjoying some self-made egg products on the farm. D. Clarifying the farm-to-table concept through practice. 10. What can you learn from the last two paragraphs? A. The appeal of rural life gradually fade away due to industrialization. B. The desire to search for more well-paid jobs accelerated the speed of agritourism. C. Italian government’s calls contributed a lot to the trend of moving from villages to cities. D. Promising farmers were dedicated to promoting their lifestyle along with agricultural products. 11. What is the author’s attitude toward agritourism? A. Doubtful. B. Dismissive. C. Supportive. D. Sympathetic. D Bruce, a parrot missing part of his beak (喙) , creatively uses stones to clean feathers (羽毛) , highlighting advanced intelligence in parrots. Bruce lost the upper part of his beak in 2012 and was sent to live at a reserve in New Zealand. The defect made Bruce unable to search for food on his own, let alone keep his feathers clean with his beak. But in 2021, when comparative psychologist Bastos arrived at the reserve with colleagues to study parrots, zookeepers reported something strange: Bruce had seemingly figured out how to select and use small stones to clean his own feathers with his beak. Over nine days, the team kept a close eye on Bruce, quickly taking, videos if he started cleaning his feathers. It turned out that Bruce had indeed invented his own way to do so, the researchers reported in Scientific Reports. “It’s crazy because the behavior was not from the wild,” Bastos says. When Bruce arrived at the reserve, he was too young to learn how to clean his feathers. And no other bird in the reserve uses stones in this way. “It seems like he just invented this tool use for himself,” she says. Tool use is just one of parrots’ many talents. They’re famous for copying and even understanding human speech. Some species can also solve complex puzzles, like how to enter a covered rubbish bin or practice self-control. For a concept as abstract (抽象的) as intelligence, it’s challenging to develop a definition that applies across animals. Researchers often point to features once thought to make humans special — enhanced learning, memory, attention and movement control — as signs of advanced skills. However, many of these abilities can also be seen in parrots, as well as other animals like chimpanzees, dolphins and elephants. “Parrots are our evolutionary (进化的) mirror image. These brilliant birds may teach us about how humanlike intelligence can appear,” behavioral ecologist Antone wrote in his 2022 book The Parrot in the Mirror. With powerful brains and a preference for words, these birds are “the very best example,” he writes, “of nature’s ‘other try’ at humanlike intelligence.” 12. What does the underlined word “defect” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Disadvantage. B. Playfulness. C. Cruelty. D. Measure. 13. Why did Bastos and her team watch Bruce closely? A. To observe how he lives alone. B. To find out how he gets food. C. To prove his ability to defend himself. D. To confirm his reported behavior. 14. What can be known concerning the parrots? A. They do well in critical thinking. B. They’re born skillful at using tools. C. They can complete complicated tasks. D. They can’t match other animals in memory. 15. What’s the significance of studying the parrots? A. Offering an insight into human behavior. B. Helping further research other species of birds. C. Learning more about parrots’ living environment. D. Giving reference for the evolution of humanlike intelligence. 二、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项；选项中有两项为多余选项。 In 1985, 16-year-old Douglas Casa, ran the championship 10,000 meter track race at the Empire State Games. Suddenly, with just 200 meters to go, he collapsed on the final straightaway, with his body temperature at dangerous levels. He had suffered an exertional heat stroke(运动型中暑) or sunstroke. ____16____ From ancient soldiers on the battlefield to modern warriors on the gridiron(足球球场), exertional heat stroke, has long been a serious concern. And unlike classical heat stroke, which affects people such as babies and the elderly during heat waves, exertional heat stroke is caused by intense exercise in the heat. ____17____ So how do you diagnose an exertional heat stroke? The main criterion is a core body temperature greater than 40℃ along with signs of central nervous system disfunction such as confused behavior, or loss of consciousness. As far as treatment goes, the most important thing to remember is cool first, transport second. The human body can withstand a core temperature above 40℃ for about 30 minutes before cell damage sets in. ____18____ After any athletic or protective gear has been removed from the victim, place them in an ice water tub while stirring the water and monitoring vitals continuously. ____19____ As you wait, it’s important to keep the victim calm while cooling as much surface area as possible until emergency personnel arrive. If medical staff are available on site, cooling should continue until a core temperature of 38.9℃ is reached. ____20____ As Dr. J Levick wrote of exertional heat stroke in 1859, “It strikes down its victim with his full armor on. Youth, health and strength oppose no obstacle to its power.” But don’t be frightened so much for it has been 100% survivable with proper care. A. Fortunately he survived with immediate treatment. B. When possible seek out places with air-conditioners. C. So it’s necessary to start cooling as quickly as possible. D. But emergency services should be called before you start. E The sun can also take lives away if people are not careful. F. So far it has been one of the top three killers of athletes in training. G. It is important to keep the body temperature close to its normal temperature. 三、完形填空：本大题共15小题，共15分。 The summer after my freshman year college, I had to get my first job.

She turned to her mother with an angry frown (皱眉) on her face. “Mom, they’re all little kids! I’m 15 already! This is silly!” “I know, Devi,” replied her mother, “but you’re a beginner, too, and you have to start somewhere!” Devi had never been to a swimming lesson in her life. Between schoolwork and helping on her grandfather’s farm, she hadn’t had time for lessons. The closest swimming pool Devi had been to was the duck pool her mother bought her when she was five. Now that Devi was older, her mother had found a new job in the city, and Devi faced a new challenge—school field trips to the local pool. The first day that Devi went with her class to the pool, she had no idea what she was in for. What could be so difficult about swimming? Devi confidently slid into the water and held onto the side of the pool, expecting to be able to touch the bottom with her feet. But when Devi let go of the side of the pool, she slipped under the water—the whole pool was one big deep end! Devi threw her arm toward the side of the pool and caught the ledge (池壁), out of breath. “I really can’t swim! Everyone’s going to laugh at me!” she thought to herself anxiously. On the next field trip to the pool, Devi sat on the side on a bench (长凳), frozen with fear. She put a towel over her shoulders, too embarrassed to try again. When she came home, her mother noticed right away that Devi was upset. “Honey, I’ve signed you up for Angela’s swimming lessons at the local pool. Soon you’ll learn how to swim just like everyone else,” she comforted Devi, showing photos of Angela with her prize—winning students. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Then came the time for Devi to take her first lesson. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon Angela came over to where Devi sat and introduced herself. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年度上学期 广东省两校高三年级两校联考 注意事项: 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，请2B用铅笔把答题卡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，写在试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 4.诚信考试，拒绝作弊。 一、阅读理解：本大题共15小题，共37.5分。 A Four Books about Curious Creatures In these brilliant books find out about fleas, foxes and some unexpected friendships.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，主要介绍了农业旅游为城市的人们提供了独特的乡村体验，让人们可以从其中体验到从农场到餐桌背后的世界。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。通读第一段可知，该段主要描述了孩子和大人们在农场收集鸡蛋和喂鸡的情景；接着第二段首句“The egg harvest is a brief, carefully designed agritourism experience offering an experience of the labor rather than just having a bite of food.(收获鸡蛋是一种简短、精心设计的农业旅游体验，提供了一种劳动体验，而不仅仅是一口食物。)”提出本文主题：农业旅游。由此可推测出，第一段描述大人和孩子捡鸡蛋是为了引出本文农业旅游的主题。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“Snatching a few eggs and uprooting a few vegetables on the farm tour don’t constitute a full day’s work, but it is also a useful reminder that food doesn’t just magically appear on restaurant plates and grocery store shelves.(在农场之旅中掏几个鸡蛋和拔一些蔬菜并不构成一整天的工作，但这也是一个有用的提醒：食物不仅仅是神奇地出现在餐馆的盘子和杂货店的货架上。)”可推知，孩子们可以做一些简单而有意义的农活。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句“In the new urban-centered world, enterprising farmers have found plenty of opportunities to sell their rural lifestyle along with their crops.(在以城市为中心的新世界里，有进取心的农民找到了很多机会，可以将他们的农村生活方式和作物一起出售。)”可知，有远见的农民在出售农作物时也在推销他们的生活方式。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“For varying investments of time, energy, and money, anyone can engage in our farming system, giving consumers a peek behind the farm-to-table world.(对于不同的时间、精力和金钱投资，任何人都可以参与我们的农业系统，让消费者一窥从农场到餐桌的世界。)”并结合全文内容可知，作者认为，农业旅游能够让消费者了解从农场到餐桌背后的世界。由此可以推知，作者对农业旅游持支持态度。故选C。 D Bruce, a parrot missing part of his beak (喙) , creatively uses stones to clean feathers (羽毛) , highlighting advanced intelligence in parrots. Bruce lost the upper part of his beak in 2012 and was sent to live at a reserve in New Zealand. The defect made Bruce unable to search for food on his own let alone keep his feathers clean with his beak. But in 2021, when comparative psychologist Bastos arrived at the reserve with colleagues to study parrots, zookeepers reported something strange: Bruce had seemingly figured out how to select and use small stones to clean his own feathers with his beak. Over nine days, the team kept a close eye on Bruce, quickly taking, videos if he started cleaning his feathers. It turned out that Bruce had indeed invented his own way to do so, the researchers reported in Scientific Reports. “It’s crazy because the behavior was not from the wild,” Bastos says. When Bruce arrived at the reserve, he was too young to learn how to clean his feathers. And no other bird in the reserve uses stones in this way. “It seems like he just invented this tool use for himself,” she says. Tool use is just one of parrots’ many talents. They’re famous for copying and even understanding human speech. Some species can also solve complex puzzles, like how to enter a covered rubbish bin or practice self-control. For a concept as abstract (抽象的) as intelligence, it’s challenging to develop a definition that applies across animals. Researchers often point to features once thought to make humans special — enhanced learning, memory, attention and movement control — as signs of advanced skills. However, many of these abilities can also be seen in parrots, as well as other animals like chimpanzees, dolphins and elephants. “Parrots are our evolutionary (进化的) mirror image. These brilliant birds may teach us about how humanlike intelligence can appear,” behavioral ecologist Antone wrote in his 2022 book The Parrot in the Mirror. With powerful brains and a preference for words, these birds are “the very best example,” he writes, “of nature’s ‘other try’ at humanlike intelligence.” 12. What does the underlined word “defect” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Disadvantage. B. Playfulness. C. Cruelty. D. Measure. 13. Why did Bastos and her team watch Bruce closely? A. To observe how he lives alone. B. To find out how he gets food. C. To prove his ability to defend himself. D. To confirm his reported behavior. 14. What can be known concerning the parrots? A. They do well in critical thinking. B. They’re born skillful at using tools. C. They can complete complicated tasks. D. They can’t match other animals in memory. 15. What’s the significance of studying the parrots? A Offering an insight into human behavior. B. Helping further research other species of birds. C. Learning more about parrots’ living environment. D. Giving reference for the evolution of humanlike intelligence. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了鹦鹉的一些智能特征可能为我们理解类似人类的智能提供新的视角。通过对鹦鹉的研究，我们可以进一步了解人类智能的进化和发展。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词后面的内容“…made Bruce unable to search for food on his own, let alone keep his feathers clean with his beak.(……使得Bruce无法自己寻找食物，更不用说用嘴保持羽毛清洁了。)”可知，这个“defect”使Bruce无法自己寻找食物，更不用说用喙清洁羽毛了。由此推断“defect”指的是Bruce失去喙的一部分这一不利条件或缺陷。故划线词与A选项“Disadvantage.(缺点，缺陷)”为同义词。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Over nine days, the team kept a close eye on Bruce, quickly taking videos if he started cleaning his feathers.(在九天的时间里，摄制团队一直密切关注着Bruce，如果它开始清理羽毛，就会迅速拍下视频。)”，即研究团队在九天里密切关注Bruce，一旦他开始清洁羽毛就立即录像。这表明他们的目的是要确认之前动物园管理员报告的Bruce使用小石头清洁羽毛的行为是否真实。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。第五段提到“Tool use is just one of parrots’ many talents. They’re famous for copying and even understanding human speech. Some species can also solve complex puzzles, like how to enter a covered rubbish bin or practice self-control.( 使用工具只是鹦鹉众多天赋之一。它们以模仿甚至理解人类语言而闻名。有些物种还能解决复杂的难题，比如如何进入一个有盖的垃圾桶或练习自我控制。)”可知，使用工具只是鹦鹉众多才能之一，它们还以模仿甚至理解人类语言而著称，一些种类甚至能解决复杂的谜题，如如何进入有盖子的垃圾箱或练习自控。这表明鹦鹉能完成复杂的任务。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。最后一段提到“Parrots are our evolutionary (进化的)   mirror image. These brilliant birds may teach us about how humanlike intelligence can appear(鹦鹉是我们进化的镜像。这些聪明的鸟可能会告诉我们类似人类的智慧是如何出现的。)”可知，鹦鹉是我们的进化镜像，这些聪明的鸟类可能会教会我们如何出现类似人类的智能，这表明研究鹦鹉对于理解类似人类智能的进化具有重要意义，因此选项D“Giving reference for the evolution of humanlike intelligence.(为类似人类智能的进化提供参考)”符合题意。故选D。 二、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项；选项中有两项为多余选项。 In 1985, 16-year-old Douglas Casa, ran the championship 10,000 meter track race at the Empire State Games. Suddenly, with just 200 meters to go, he collapsed on the final straightaway, with his body temperature at dangerous levels. He had suffered an exertional heat stroke(运动型中暑) or sunstroke. ____16____ From ancient soldiers on the battlefield to modern warriors on the gridiron(足球球场), exertional heat stroke, has long been a serious concern. And unlike classical heat stroke, which affects people such as babies and the elderly during heat waves, exertional heat stroke is caused by intense exercise in the heat. ____17____ So how do you diagnose an exertional heat stroke? The main criterion is a core body temperature greater than 40℃ along with signs of central nervous system disfunction such as confused behavior, or loss of consciousness. As far as treatment goes, the most important thing to remember is cool first, transport second. The human body can withstand a core temperature above 40℃ for about 30 minutes before cell damage sets in. ____18____ After any athletic or protective gear has been removed from the victim, place them in an ice water tub while stirring the water and monitoring vitals continuously. ____19____ As you wait, it’s important to keep the victim calm while cooling as much surface area as possible until emergency personnel arrive. If medical staff are available on site, cooling should continue until a core temperature of 38.9℃ is reached. ____20____ As Dr. J Levick wrote of exertional heat stroke in 1859, “It strikes down its victim with his full armor on. Youth, health and strength oppose no obstacle to its power.” But don’t be frightened so much for it has been 100% survivable with proper care. A. Fortunately he survived with immediate treatment. B. When possible seek out places with air-conditioners. C. So it’s necessary to start cooling as quickly as possible. D. But emergency services should be called before you start. E. The sun can also take lives away if people are not careful. F. So far it has been one of the top three killers of athletes in training. G. It is important to keep the body temperature close to its normal temperature. 【答案】16. A 17. F 18. C 19. D 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章讲述了运动员在高温下做剧烈运动很容易引起运动性热衰竭，严重时会危及生命，文中提供了正确的营救方法。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Suddenly, with just 200 meters to go, he collapsed on the final straightaway, with his body temperature at dangerous levels. He had suffered an exertional heat stroke(运动型中暑) or sunstroke. (突然，在距离终点只有200米的时候，他在最后的直道上倒下了，他的体温达到了危险的水平。他运动性热衰竭或中暑。)”可知，选项A. Fortunately he survived with immediate treatment.

(与传统的中暑不同的是，传统中暑在热浪中影响婴儿和老人等人群，而运动性热衰竭是由高温下的剧烈运动引起的。)”可知，空格处需要进一步说明运动性热衰竭。选项F. So far it has been one of the top three killers of athletes in training. (到目前为止，它一直是训练中运动员的三大杀手之一。)说明的是劳累性中暑的危害性，能够承接上文。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据上文“The human body can withstand a core temperature above 40℃ for about 30 minutes before cell damage sets in. (人体可以承受40℃以上的核心温度约30分钟，然后细胞就会受损。)”以及下文“After any athletic or protective gear has been removed from the victim, place them in an ice water tub while stirring the water and monitoring vitals continuously. (在从受害者身上取下任何运动或防护装备后，将他们放在冰水浴缸中，同时搅拌水并持续监测生命体征。)”可知，空格处应该说明的时使受害者尽快的让温度降下来。选项C. So it’s necessary to start cooling as quickly as possible. (所以有必要尽快开始冷却。)中的cooling与下文中的ice water tub相呼应；能够承上启下。故选C。 【19题详解】 根据上文“After any athletic or protective gear has been removed from the victim, place them in an ice water tub while stirring the water and monitoring vitals continuously. (在从受害者身上取下任何运动或防护装备后，将他们放在冰水浴缸中，同时搅拌水并持续监测生命体征。)”以及下文“As you wait, it’s important to keep the victim calm while cooling as much surface area as possible until emergency personnel arrive. (在你等待的过程中，重要的是要让受害者保持冷静，同时尽可能冷却尽可能多的表面区域，直到急救人员到达。)”可知，在降温的同时也需要等待急救人员。选项D. But emergency services should be called before you start. (但是在你开始之前应该打电话给紧急服务部门。)中的emergency services与emergency personnel相呼应；选项D能够承上启下。故选D。 【20题详解】 根据下文“As Dr. J Levick wrote of exertional heat stroke in 1859, “It strikes down its victim with his full armor on. Youth, health and strength oppose no obstacle to its power.” But don’t be frightened so much for it has been 100% survivable with proper care. (正如J·莱维克博士在1859年对酷热中暑的描述，“它全副武装地击倒了受害者。”青春、健康和力量是它的力量不可阻挡的。”但不要太害怕，因为在适当的护理下，它的存活率是100%。)”可知，说明的是高温的其他危害。选项E. The sun can also take lives away if people are not careful. (如果人们不小心，太阳也会夺走生命。)“The sun can also take lives away”与“for it has been 100% survivable with proper care”相呼应；选项E能够作为本段的主题句。故选E。 三、完形填空：本大题共15小题，共15分。 The summer after my freshman year college, I had to get my first job.

She turned to her mother with an angry frown (皱眉) on her face. “Mom, they’re all little kids! I’m 15 already! This is silly!” “I know, Devi,” replied her mother, “but you’re a beginner, too, and you have to start somewhere!” Devi had never been to a swimming lesson in her life. Between schoolwork and helping on her grandfather’s farm, she hadn’t had time for lessons. The closest swimming pool Devi had been to was the duck pool her mother bought her when she was five. Now that Devi was older, her mother had found a new job in the city, and Devi faced a new challenge—school field trips to the local pool. The first day that Devi went with her class to the pool, she had no idea what she was in for. What could be so difficult about swimming? Devi confidently slid into the water and held onto the side of the pool, expecting to be able to touch the bottom with her feet. But when Devi let go of the side of the pool, she slipped under the water—the whole pool was one big deep end! Devi threw her arm toward the side of the pool and caught the ledge (池壁), out of breath. “I really can’t swim! Everyone’s going to laugh at me!” she thought to herself anxiously. On the next field trip to the pool, Devi sat on the side on a bench (长凳), frozen with fear. She put a towel over her shoulders, too embarrassed to try again. When she came home, her mother noticed right away that Devi was upset. “Honey, I’ve signed you up for Angela’s swimming lessons at the local pool. Soon you’ll learn how to swim just like everyone else,” she comforted Devi, showing photos of Angela with her prize—winning students. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右； 2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Then came the time for Devi to take her first lesson. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon Angela came over to where Devi sat and introduced herself. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Then came the time for Devi to take her first lesson.
