Your Internet of Things (IoT) bedroom opens solar-powered e-windows and plays gentle music while your smart lighting displays a montage (蒙太奇) of beachfront sunrises from your recent vacation. Your shower uses very little water or soap. It recycles your grey water and puts the extra heat back into your home’s integrated operating system. While you dress, your artificial intelligence (AI) assistant shares your schedule for the day and plays your favourite tunes. You still start your day with caffeine but it comes from your IoT refrigerator which is capable of providing a coffeehouse experience in your home. A hot breakfast tailored to your specific nutritional needs (based on chemical analysis from your trips to the “smart toilet”) is waiting for you in the kitchen. When it’s time to leave, an on-demand transport system has three cars waiting for you, your spouse and your kids. On the road, driverless cars and trucks move with mathematical precision, without traffic jams. Accident rates are near zero. On route, you call your R&D team, who are wrapping up a day’s work in Shanghai. Your life-sized image will be projected, making your colleagues see you as if you were sitting with them. It’s a bit surreal (超现实的) for them to see you in the morning light given that it’s dark on the Bund, Shanghai’s water-front, though the novelty fades after a few uses. You review the day’s cloud-based data from your Shenzhen manufacturing centre your pilot project in San Diego, and your QA team in Melbourme. The massive datasets are collected in realtime from every piece of equipment and have been beautifully summarized by your company’s AI. All these facilities are closely maintained and operated via a skilled predictive analytics platform. Pleased with the team’s progress, you end the call and ease into a good book. This is the future and it will be here sooner than you think. 4. What will happen when you dress yourself according to the text? A. Your breakfast is ordered and served. B. E-windows open quickly. C. Your favourite songs are played. D. Your schedule is sent to your boss. 5. What does the underlined word “tailored” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Produced specially. B. Made in advance. C. Mixed similarly. D. Changed randomly. 6. Why can your colleagues see you as if you were sitting face to face though you are at home? A. Because you did it beforehand. B. Because you were on the scene. C. Because your images are wrapped up. D. Because your life-sized picture is projected. 7. What is the best title of the passage? A. Why We Need AI Assistants B. How Life Will Be in the Future C. How AI Helps Us Succeed D. How AI Does Meaningful Work 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了2030年的生活，包括生活、交通以及工作等方面。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“While you dress, your artificial intelligence (AI) assistant shares your schedule for the day and plays your favourite tunes.(当你穿衣服时，你的人工智能助手分享你的日程安排，并且播放你喜欢的曲子)”可知，当你穿衣服时，你的人工智能助手可以为你播放你喜欢的曲子，故选C。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“You still start your day with a coffee but it comes from your lot refrigerator which is capable of providing a coffeehouse experience in your home.(你仍然以咖啡开始你一天，但它来自你的冰箱，它可以提供你家的咖啡屋体验”以及划线词上文“A hot breakfast tailored to your specific nutritional needs is waiting for you in the kitchen.(根据你的特殊营养需要，tailored 的热早餐正在厨房等你)”可知，根据你的特殊营养需要，特别制作的热早餐正在厨房等你。故划线词的意思是“特别定制”的。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Your life-sized image will be projected, making your colleagues see you as if you were sitting with them.(你的真人大小的图像会被投影出来，让你的同事看到你就好像你和他们坐在一起)”可知，为什么你的同事能看到你，就像你们面对面坐着一样是因为你的真人大小的照片被投影出来了。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“You are just waking up in the spring of 2030. Your Internet of Things (IoT) bedroom opens solar-powered e-windows and plays gentle music while your smart lighting displays a montage (蒙太奇) of beachfront sunrises from your recent vacation.(你刚刚在2030年的春天醒来。你的物联网卧室打开太阳能电子窗，播放轻柔的音乐，而你的智能照明则显示着你最近度假时海滨日出的蒙太奇)”以及最后一段“This is the future and it will be here sooner than you think.(这就是未来，它会比你想象的更快到来)”结合文章讲述了2030年的生活，包括生活、交通以及工作等方面。B选项“未来的生活是怎样的”最符合文章标题。故选B。 C “Regrets, I’ve had a few. But then again, too few to mention,” Frank Sinatra chanted in his 1969 hit “My Way”. The song’s idea is attractive: that anyone can just declare what’s done is done and move on. Some take the declaration a step further and claim they have no regrets at all. Whether a boast or an actual attitude, “no regrets” suggests that life can and should be lived without looking through the rear-view mirror. Easier said than done, though. In 2020, author Daniel H. Pink launched the World Regret Survey, the largest ever survey on the topic. With his research team, Pink asked more than 15,000 people in 105 countries, “How often do you look back on your life and wish you had done things differently?” 82% said regret is at least an occasional part of their life; roughly 21% said they feel regret “all the time.” Only 1% said they never feel regret. If you are of the “no regrets” type, you might think that all this regret is a recipe for unhappiness. But that isn’t the case. True, being overwhelmed(不知所措) by regret is indeed bad for you. But going to the other extreme may be even worse. To rid yourself of regrets doesn’t free you from shame or sorrow; it leads you to make the same mistakes again and again. To truly get over our guilt requires that we put regret in its proper place. As uncomfortable as it is, regret is an amazing cognitive(认知的)achievement. If today your relationship with your partner has worsened, your regret might mentally take you back to last year. You would remember your being mean and sensitive, and then imagine yourself showing more patience, being kind instead of hurtful at key moments. Then you would fast-forward to today and see how your relationship could be progressing instead of languishing. But regret doesn’t have to be left unmanaged. The trick is to acknowledge it and use it for learning and improvement. You can be honest with yourself about what went wrong and use that knowledge to enjoy better relationships in the future. 8. What should we do if we have had a bitter quarrel with a close friend according to Frank Sinatra? A. Attract more people to your argument. B. Send him/her a letter of apology. C. Boast about being more reasonable. D. Forget about it and just let it go. 9. Which of the following statements about “regret” may the writer agree with? A. We can do nothing about regret. B. Unhappiness results from regret. C. Ignoring regrets is missing the opportunity to improve. D. Ridding yourself of regrets helps free you from sorrow. 10. What does the underlined word “languishing” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Improving. B. Maintaining. C. Showing up. D. Breaking up. 11. What might be a suitable title for the text? A. Regret to become smarter—if you let it. B. Long for a different past? Regret it! C. Regret? Not my way! D. Stay away! Regret will heal itself. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者试图解释一个问题：世界上很多人常常陷于后悔之中，觉得这是不幸福的原因。所以试图永不后悔。但作者却认为适当的后悔才能帮助我们不断进步。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The song’s idea is attractive: that anyone can just declare what’s done is done and move on. Some take the declaration a step further and claim they have no regrets at all.（这首歌的想法很吸引人：任何人都可以宣布过去的事已经过去，然后继续前进。有些人更进一步，声称自己完全不后悔。）”可知，如果我们采纳Frank Sinatra的观点，在与朋友争吵后，我们会忘了它，随它去。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“To rid yourself of regrets doesn’t free you from shame or sorrow; it leads you to make the same mistakes again and again. To truly get over our guilt requires that we put regret in its proper place.（摆脱后悔并不能让你摆脱羞耻或悲伤；它会让你一次又一次犯同样的错误。要真正摆脱内疚，我们必须把后悔放在适当的位置。）”可知，作者赞同忽视遗憾就是错过了进步的机会。故选C项。 10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Then you would fast-forward to today and see how your relationship could be progressing instead of（然后你会快进到今天，看看你们的关系会如何进展而不是）”可知，instead of前后为转折关系，前文说关系需要有进展，而有进展的反面则是关系没有进展，进而结束关系，或者关系破裂，故推测languishing 意为“关系结束”。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“But regret doesn’t have to be left unmanaged. The trick is to acknowledge it and use it for learning and improvement.（但后悔不必被忽视。诀窍是承认它，然后将其用于学习和改进中。）”可知，作者建议读者利用好“后悔”这一举动来促进自我的进步，故选项A“Regret to become smarter-if you let it.（如果你愿意——后悔能让你变得更聪明）”符合文章主旨大意。故选A项。 D Nearly everyone would agree that it is very hard to let go of anger after you have been hurt by someone. However, research shows that forgiveness is good for your health. It can give you more energy, help you sleep better. According to Dr Frederic Luskin, author of the book Forgive for Good, people who are able to forgive are less angry and more hopeful. “It can reduce the wear and tear on our bodies,” says Dr Luskin, “and allow people to feel more energetic.” You are probably asking yourself, “How is it possible to forgive?” It is not easy, but here are some suggestions to try. When you have been hurt, first try to calm yourself down: breathe deeply and force yourself to think of something pleasant, such as someone you love or a beautiful sunset. Thinking about the hurt is of no use; it only gives power to the person who hurt you. Train yourself to see beauty, love and kindness in the world around you. Never wait for an apology, because you may be waiting forever. Very often the one who hurt you will never think of apologizing, either because they meant to hurt you or because they don’t understand your point of view. It can be very helpful to you to write yourself a letter, imagining what the other person’s perspective might be. Try to stand in his shoes to see the situation; you may realize that the hurt was a result of ignorance or fear — or maybe even love. Finally, remember that forgiving someone does not mean that you have accepted their action. It only means that you have chosen to let go of the hurt. 12. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Forgiveness is possible for all people. B. We should not wait for an apology. C. When someone has hurt you, try to forgive. D. Forgiveness can be extremely difficult. 13. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage? A. Forgiveness can make people feel more energetic. B. People who forgive show less anger and more hope. C. Forgiveness means you accept the hurting actions. D. Being lost in hate may bring you deeper hurt and pain. 14. What does the underlined phrase in the first paragraph mean? A. Damage. B. Energy. C. Waste. D. Sensitivity. 15. How can you calm yourself when someone has hurt you? A. Take deep breaths and think of something pleasant. B. Learn to look for love, beauty and kindness around you. C. Try to see things from the other person’s perspective. D. All of the above. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了原谅别人能对自己身体能带来好处。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Nearly everyone would agree that it is very hard to let go of anger after you have been hurt by someone. However, research shows that forgiveness is good for your health. It can give you more energy, help you sleep better.(几乎每个人都认为当你被别人伤害时，你是很难不去生气的。但是，研究表明，原谅对你的身体有好处。它能使你精力充沛，给你带来更多的帮助，让你睡眠更好。)”可知，本文主要讲述原谅他人的好处，且后文介绍了几种让自己冷静的方式，故文章通过介绍原谅他人所带来的好处来鼓励我们学会原谅别人，故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Finally, remember that forgiving someone does not mean that you have accepted their action. It only means that you have chosen to let go of the hurt.(总之，要记住，原谅别人并不意味着你接受他们的行为。它只意味着你选择放手伤害。)”可知，原谅别人并不是接受别人对你的伤害的行为，故选C。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词的内容“says Dr Luskin, “and allow people to feel more energetic.”(Dr Luskin说道：“并且它能让人们变得更加有活力。”)”可推知，原谅别人可以给人带来身体上的好处，故此处的划线词与A项“damage伤害”意思相近，原谅别人可以减少身体上的伤害，故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“When you have been hurt, first try to calm yourself down: breathe deeply and force yourself to think of something pleasant, such as someone you love or a beautiful sunset.(当你感觉受到了伤害，首先，尽量让自己冷静下来，深呼吸并强迫自己想一些令人愉悦的事情，比如说你爱的人和美丽的日落。)”、“Train yourself to see beauty, love and kindness in the world around you.(让自己去看到身边的美、爱和善良。)”以及“Try to stand in his shoes to see the situation;(努力让自己站在别人的角度去看待问题。)”可知，当你受到伤害时，让自己冷静下来的方法包括深呼吸，想一些开心的事情、学会寻找身边的美、爱和善良以及学会站在他人的角度来看待问题，故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 People all need friends because nobody wants to be lonely.

Let's get Mom a pet dog for her birthday. It would make her happy. I thought it was a good idea, as Mom had always wanted to own a dog. By the time our conversation ended, I had my task: find our mother a dog. After a careful search, I finally found an ad for dogs in a local newspaper. A nearby family had a dog who had just given birth to five male puppies（小狗）！ All had had their first vaccines（疫苗），and would be ready to leave their mom in a few weeks.I gave them a call. The man who answered the phone listened patiently to my story and set a date for us to meet the dogs. When the day arrived, I got into my brother's car. We pulled up in front of some houses that sat along a narrow street. As we stepped onto the sidewalk，we were greeted by noisy barks（吠叫声）. Four dogs had positioned themselves on the back of a sofa and were watching us through a large window. We climbed onto the porch(门廊) and rang the doorbell. A tall man with graying hair and a kind smile opened the door. As I reached to shake his hand, I could see the puppies behind him, running to get to us. Each puppy wore a different color string around his neck. We met the man's wife, who wore a similar friendly smile and welcomed us to her home. We met the puppies' parents and then set about the business of selecting a friend for our mother. There were four puppies and four visitors; the man handed each of us a dog. Three of the puppies looked up at us with large, curious eyes. The fourth one, who I was holding, began to wiggle excitedly and kiss my face. "Let's take this one! He's the one! Look how lovely he is!" I said. As far as I was concerned, it was a done deal. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My brother wasn't sure and suggested that we take some time to get to know all of them. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two weeks later, we picked up the dog and hid him around the corner in my mom's living room while she opened her birthday gifts. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】My brother wasn 't sure and suggested that we take some time to get to know all of them. We spent the next hour sitting on the floor playing with a group of puppies. Finally, we settled on a different puppy for our mom. He was the smallest and weakest of the dogs and made up for his smallness with a large personality. He spent most of the time we were there either jumping on one of us or following his patient mother around asking for more to eat. We signed the paperwork and agreed on the pick-up date. Two weeks later, we picked up the dog and hid him around the corner in my mom's living room while she opened her birthday gifts. Just when she thought she was done, the small dog walked across the room toward her. It took a moment for Mom to be aware of him, and then she began to cry. She knelt on the floor and pulled the dog into her arms. As she kissed him, she looked up through her tears and said, “This is the best birthday gift I've ever got”. Hearing that, my brother and I looked at each other and smiled. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述作者和弟弟准备在母亲生日的时候给她一只宠物狗。有一天他们在报纸上看到有领养狗的广告，于是作者和弟弟一起去狗主人家挑选所要领养的狗。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由续写第一段首句“我弟弟不确定，建议我们花点时间了解他们。”可以预测续写第一段主要内容：作者和弟弟又花了一些时间观察所有狗的情况，最终选择了心仪的狗并和主人约定了领狗的时间。 ②由第二段首句“两周后，当我妈妈打开生日礼物时，我们把狗抱起来，藏在角落里我妈妈的客厅里。”可以预测续写第二段主要内容：作者和弟弟在母亲生日当天把狗送给了母亲，母亲很高兴，作者和弟弟看到后，也露出微笑。 2.续写线索：作者和弟弟精心选狗——作者与狗主人达成约定，确定取狗时间——母亲生日时给她惊喜——母亲认为这是她最好的礼物——作者和弟弟为自己所做的感到值得 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.弥补：make up for/remedy/compensate ②.要求： ask for /require /demand 情绪类 ①.哭：cry/burst out crying/ burst into tears ②.笑：smile /smile heartily /smile from the bottom of one’s heart 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Your Internet of Things (IoT) bedroom opens solar-powered e-windows and plays gentle music while your smart lighting displays a montage (蒙太奇) of beachfront sunrises from your recent vacation. Your shower uses very little water or soap. It recycles your grey water and puts the extra heat back into your home’s integrated operating system. While you dress, your artificial intelligence (AI) assistant shares your schedule for the day and plays your favourite tunes. You still start your day with caffeine but it comes from your IoT refrigerator which is capable of providing a coffeehouse experience in your home. A hot breakfast tailored to your specific nutritional needs (based on chemical analysis from your trips to the “smart toilet”) is waiting for you in the kitchen. When it’s time to leave, an on-demand transport system has three cars waiting for you, your spouse and your kids. On the road, driverless cars and trucks move with mathematical precision, without traffic jams. Accident rates are near zero. On route, you call your R&D team, who are wrapping up a day’s work in Shanghai. Your life-sized image will be projected, making your colleagues see you as if you were sitting with them. It’s a bit surreal (超现实的) for them to see you in the morning light given that it’s dark on the Bund, Shanghai’s water-front, though the novelty fades after a few uses. You review the day’s cloud-based data from your Shenzhen manufacturing centre your pilot project in San Diego, and your QA team in Melbourme. The massive datasets are collected in realtime from every piece of equipment and have been beautifully summarized by your company’s AI. All these facilities are closely maintained and operated via a skilled predictive analytics platform. Pleased with the team’s progress, you end the call and ease into a good book. This is the future and it will be here sooner than you think. 4. What will happen when you dress yourself according to the text? A. Your breakfast is ordered and served. B. E-windows open quickly. C. Your favourite songs are played. D. Your schedule is sent to your boss. 5. What does the underlined word “tailored” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. Produced specially. B. Made in advance. C. Mixed similarly. D. Changed randomly. 6. Why can your colleagues see you as if you were sitting face to face though you are at home? A. Because you did it beforehand. B. Because you were on the scene. C. Because your images are wrapped up. D. Because your life-sized picture is projected. 7. What is the best title of the passage? A. Why We Need AI Assistants B. How Life Will Be in the Future C How AI Helps Us Succeed D. How AI Does Meaningful Work C “Regrets, I’ve had a few. But then again, too few to mention,” Frank Sinatra chanted in his 1969 hit “My Way”. The song’s idea is attractive: that anyone can just declare what’s done is done and move on. Some take the declaration a step further and claim they have no regrets at all. Whether a boast or an actual attitude, “no regrets” suggests that life can and should be lived without looking through the rear-view mirror. Easier said than done, though. In 2020, author Daniel H. Pink launched the World Regret Survey, the largest ever survey on the topic. With his research team, Pink asked more than 15,000 people in 105 countries, “How often do you look back on your life and wish you had done things differently?” 82% said regret is at least an occasional part of their life; roughly 21% said they feel regret “all the time.” Only 1% said they never feel regret. If you are of the “no regrets” type, you might think that all this regret is a recipe for unhappiness. But that isn’t the case. True, being overwhelmed(不知所措) by regret is indeed bad for you. But going to the other extreme may be even worse. To rid yourself of regrets doesn’t free you from shame or sorrow; it leads you to make the same mistakes again and again. To truly get over our guilt requires that we put regret in its proper place. As uncomfortable as it is, regret is an amazing cognitive(认知)achievement. If today your relationship with your partner has worsened, your regret might mentally take you back to last year. You would remember your being mean and sensitive, and then imagine yourself showing more patience, being kind instead of hurtful at key moments. Then you would fast-forward to today and see how your relationship could be progressing instead of languishing. But regret doesn’t have to be left unmanaged. The trick is to acknowledge it and use it for learning and improvement. You can be honest with yourself about what went wrong and use that knowledge to enjoy better relationships in the future. 8. What should we do if we have had a bitter quarrel with a close friend according to Frank Sinatra? A. Attract more people to your argument. B. Send him/her a letter of apology. C. Boast about being more reasonable. D. Forget about it and just let it go. 9. Which of the following statements about “regret” may the writer agree with? A. We can do nothing about regret. B. Unhappiness results from regret. C. Ignoring regrets is missing the opportunity to improve. D. Ridding yourself of regrets helps free you from sorrow. 10. What does the underlined word “languishing” in paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Improving. B. Maintaining. C. Showing up. D. Breaking up. 11. What might be a suitable title for the text? A. Regret to become smarter—if you let it. B Long for a different past? Regret it! C. Regret? Not my way! D. Stay away! Regret will heal itself. D Nearly everyone would agree that it is very hard to let go of anger after you have been hurt by someone. However, research shows that forgiveness is good for your health. It can give you more energy, help you sleep better. According to Dr Frederic Luskin, author of the book Forgive for Good, people who are able to forgive are less angry and more hopeful. “It can reduce the wear and tear on our bodies,” says Dr Luskin, “and allow people to feel more energetic.” You are probably asking yourself, “How is it possible to forgive?” It is not easy, but here are some suggestions to try. When you have been hurt, first try to calm yourself down: breathe deeply and force yourself to think of something pleasant, such as someone you love or a beautiful sunset. Thinking about the hurt is of no use; it only gives power to the person who hurt you. Train yourself to see beauty, love and kindness in the world around you. Never wait for an apology, because you may be waiting forever. Very often the one who hurt you will never think of apologizing, either because they meant to hurt you or because they don’t understand your point of view. It can be very helpful to you to write yourself a letter, imagining what the other person’s perspective might be. Try to stand in his shoes to see the situation; you may realize that the hurt was a result of ignorance or fear — or maybe even love. Finally, remember that forgiving someone does not mean that you have accepted their action. It only means that you have chosen to let go of the hurt. 12. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Forgiveness is possible for all people. B. We should not wait for an apology. C. When someone has hurt you, try to forgive. D. Forgiveness can be extremely difficult. 13. Which statement is NOT true according to the passage? A. Forgiveness can make people feel more energetic. B. People who forgive show less anger and more hope. C. Forgiveness means you accept the hurting actions. D. Being lost in hate may bring you deeper hurt and pain. 14. What does the underlined phrase in the first paragraph mean? A. Damage. B. Energy. C. Waste. D. Sensitivity. 15. How can you calm yourself when someone has hurt you? A. Take deep breaths and think of something pleasant. B. Learn to look for love, beauty and kindness around you. C. Try to see things from the other person’s perspective. D. All of the above. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 People all need friends because nobody wants to be lonely. A friend can help you in good and bad times.

Let's get Mom a pet dog for her birthday. It would make her happy. I thought it was a good idea, as Mom had always wanted to own a dog. By the time our conversation ended, I had my task: find our mother a dog. After a careful search, I finally found an ad for dogs in a local newspaper. A nearby family had a dog who had just given birth to five male puppies（小狗）！ All had had their first vaccines（疫苗），and would be ready to leave their mom in a few weeks.I gave them a call. The man who answered the phone listened patiently to my story and set a date for us to meet the dogs. When the day arrived, I got into my brother's car. We pulled up in front of some houses that sat along a narrow street. As we stepped onto the sidewalk，we were greeted by noisy barks（吠叫声）. Four dogs had positioned themselves on the back of a sofa and were watching us through a large window. We climbed onto the porch(门廊) and rang the doorbell. A tall man with graying hair and a kind smile opened the door. As I reached to shake his hand, I could see the puppies behind him, running to get to us. Each puppy wore a different color string around his neck. We met the man's wife, who wore a similar friendly smile and welcomed us to her home. We met the puppies' parents and then set about the business of selecting a friend for our mother. There were four puppies and four visitors; the man handed each of us a dog. Three of the puppies looked up at us with large, curious eyes. The fourth one, who I was holding, began to wiggle excitedly and kiss my face. "Let's take this one! He's the one! Look how lovely he is!" I said. As far as I was concerned, it was a done deal. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 词左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My brother wasn't sure and suggested that we take some time to get to know all of them. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Two weeks later, we picked up the dog and hid him around the corner in my mom's living room while she opened her birthday gifts. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
