However, if you’re willing to leave your country and explore life in other areas, there are many countries boasting an extremely cheap and low cost of living. Check out the following countries when planning your next move. Ecuador Ecuador is similar to the United States in many ways, and as a result has become a popular American getaway. They even use the US Dollar for their currency. In this country, it’s cheaper to eat out every day than cook for yourself on a budget in the US. You can even buy a building for around $ 50, 000 and hire someone to look after it while you’re away. Mexico Although the country is known for its poverty ridden streets, there $are many wealthier areas that provide every facility you might need. You can live off a mere $ 700 to $ 800 a month in Mexico, and this includes rent for a nice place, facilities, food, and any sightseeing. Argentina Argentina has been a popular tourist destination for many years. It has great restaurants, a rich history, and many places to explore. Not to mention, it’s not very expensive to live here. A decent sized home can cost around $ 139, 000, which is relatively cheap in relation to homes in the United States. Vietnam Vietnam has also become a popular tourist destination in recent years. There are many million-dollar luxury homes by the beach, but you can find a modest flat or a small home for around $ 25,000 to $ 50,000 if you search in the right areas. 1. In which country is the US Dollar used for its currency? A. Argentina. B. Mexico. C. Ecuador. D. Vietnam. 2. How much does it cost to live in Mexico for a year? A. About $ 7,000. B. About $ 8,000. C.

D. Tourists enjoy travelling in the two countries. 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了厄瓜多尔、阿根廷、墨西哥和越南这四个低生活成本的国家。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Ecuador部分中的“They even use the U. S. Dollar for their currency.(他们甚至使用美元作为他们的货币)”可知，美元是厄瓜多尔的货币。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Mexico部分中的“You can live off a mere $ 700 to $ 800 a month in Mexico, and this includes rent for a nice place, facilities, food, and any sightseeing.(在墨西哥，你每月只需700到800美元，这包括一个好地方的租金、设施、食物和任何观光活动)”可知，在墨西哥居住一年需要约700*12=8400美元到800*12=9600美元之间。分析选项可知，只有C选项约8800美元符合价格区间。故选C。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Argentina部分中的“Argentina has been a popular tourist destination for many years.(多年来，阿根廷一直是一个受欢迎的旅游目的地)”以及Vietnam部分中的“Vietnam has also become a popular tourist destination in recent years.(越南也成为近年来一个热门的旅游目的地)”可知，阿根廷和越南的共同之处是游客喜欢在这两个国家旅行。故选D。 B When I was 12 years old, I already knew that my teen years were going to be the worst years of my life. I was a total outsider, bullied (欺凌) at school. I felt completely alone in my small town. But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14 I turned my problem into a passion for helping others. The opportunity to practice kindness made me feel like my life had a greater purpose. The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness and appreciation I received. I realized that my purpose in life would be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers, and help them feel less alone. Books were my true friends back then. I was so thankful that the authors wrote those books. The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me. After surviving terrible experiences at school and at home, I made a choice to take the optimistic, positive road in the next steps of my journey. My dream career, one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day. Kindness saved me when I needed help the most. Even small acts of kindness can change someone’s life. You never know what someone else is going through. But by practicing daily kindness, you become an architect of positive change. 4.

You may think it’s a scene from an art movie, but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage: bamboo drifting (独竹漂). Bamboo drifting dated back to over 2,000 years ago in the Chishui River area of Guizhou. During the Qin Dynasty, the Bozhou district of Zunyi city was known for its high-quality nanmu. It was in great demand by the royal court more than 2,000 kilometers to the north. With no transportation along the Chishui River, people had to stand on one log (原木) to drift down the river. Later, local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty, wood drifting became bamboo drifting because of bamboo's lower price. Now, communities in Guizhou hold bamboo drifting competitions every year during Dragon Boat Festival. Due to the great strength and balance it takes for one to master this act, bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list. Yang Liu, 24, is an inheritor of bamboo drifting. Yang said the most difficult part of bamboo drifting was keeping one’s balance. “I fell in the water several times when I was practicing.” she told. “Usually, the bamboo under your feet is about 9 meters long, and the bamboo in your hands is about 5 meters. If the length or diameter of the bamboo is not long enough, it will not be buoyant (有浮力的）enough to float. So we should fight against the water flow by continuously changing the angle (角度).” Yang added. But the love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. In the past 17 years, she has drifted all year round, in winter cold and summer heat. Yang also produces new ideas when spreading the culture of bamboo drifting. For example, she connects dance with bamboo drifting to make it more graceful and wears hanfu when performing, creating a beautiful feel. In 2020. Yang registered on social media platforms and posted her videos. “I want to spread it to other countries so that more people around the world will like Chinese culture.” she told China Daily. 8. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. The use of bamboo drifting. B. The birthplace of bamboo drifting. C. The acting skills for bamboo drifting D. The historical development of bamboo drifting. 9. Why was bamboo drifting listed into the national intangible cultural heritage? A. It spreads Chinese culture to the world B. It enjoys great popularity among Guizhou people. C. It’s physically and technically demanding for performers. D. It’s an important activity during the Dragon Boat Festival. 10. What is the most challenging for bamboo drifting? A. Keeping one’s balance. B. Performing graceful moves. C. Choosing bamboos of proper size. D. Continuously changing the angle 11. Which of the following best describes Yang Liu? A. Responsible and brave. B. Creative and determined. C. Hard-working and outgoing. D. Knowledgeable and competitive. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了非物质文化遗产:独竹漂。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第二段第一句“Bamboo drifting dated back to over 2,000 years ago in the Chishui River area of Guizhou. （2000多年前，贵州赤水河流域出现了大量的独竹漂现象）”，第二句“During the Qin Dynasty, the Bozhou district of Zunyi city was known for its high-quality nanmu. （在秦朝，遵义市的亳州区以其优质的楠木而闻名）”，还有最后一句“ In the Qing Dynasty, wood drifting became bamboo drifting because of bamboo’s lower price.（到了清代，由于竹子价格较低，木材漂流变成了独竹漂）”可知，本段讲述了从秦朝到清朝，独竹漂的演变史。故选D。 9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段最后一句“Due to the great strength and balance it takes for one to master this act, bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list.（由于掌握这一动作需要巨大的力量和平衡，独竹漂流被列入国家非物质文化遗产名录）”可知，是因为表演者需要巨大的力量和平衡才能掌握这一动作，所以它才被列入了国家非物质文化遗产名录。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第四段第二句“Yang said the most difficult part of bamboo drifting was keeping one's balance.（竹子漂流最困难的部分是保持身体平衡）”可知，独竹漂最具有挑战性的是保持身体平衡。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段第二句“For example, she connects dance with bamboo drifting to make it more graceful and wears hanfu when performing, creating a beautiful feel. （例如，她将舞蹈与独竹漂相结合，使之更加优雅，表演时穿着汉服，营造出一种优美的感觉）”可知她具有创造性。由倒数第二段“But the love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. In the past 17 years, she has drifted all year round, in winter cold and summer heat.（但对这项古老技艺的热爱让杨继续前行。在过去的17年里，无论寒冷的冬天，还是炎热的夏天，她一年到头都在练习独竹漂）”可知她非常坚定。故选B。 D Smoking in your own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime, if the smoke is considered harmful to other people in the house. The new law, Family Protection and Development Promotion Act, aiming at controlling smoking at home which might be hazardous for others' health living under the same roof，was initiated by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security and was announced in the Royal Gazette on May 22, 2019. It came into force on August 20. According to the center for research and knowledge management for tobacco control, at the Faculty of Medical Science of Mahidol University, there are about 4.9 million households where one or more family members smoke. An average of 10.3 million people have unwittingly（不知不觉地） become passive smokers because they’ve been breathing smoke at home. Scientific studies show that passive smokers are at greater risk of being affected by cancer. Of 75 child patients from houses where smoking is practiced, 76% of them were found to have nicotine traces in their urine（尿液）, with 43% of them having nicotine content exceeding（超过） permissible levels. Smoking at home also “may lead to physical or emotional violence” because of aggressiveness when there is a lack of smoking, and might as well ruin relationships between smokers and non-smoker family members. According to the new law, anyone who thinks they are affected by domestic smoking can report to government departments concerned so that officials will be sent to investigate and take legal action against the smokers. Once convicted(证明有罪的), the court may order a person to receive treatment to quit smoking in an attempt to protect the person's family. 12. What does the underlined word “hazardous” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. risky B. beneficial C. influential D. dangerous 13. How does the author organize Paragraph 3 ? A. by listing figures B. by giving examples C. by comparing the differences D. by explaining the reasons 14. We can learn from the passage that__________ A. smoking anywhere in Thailand is considered a crime. B. passive smokers are more likely to have lung cancer . C. 76% of the children in Thailand have nicotine traces in their urine. D. smoking at home may hurt other family members both physically and emotionally. 15. According to the new law, ___________ A. anybody must report to the officials once they are affected. B. officials will take legal action against all the people concerned . C. smoking in one’s own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime. D. the court may order a smoker to stop smoking to protect all nonsmokers . 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇议论文。主要内容是作者通过相关研究数据表明，在家中吸烟会危及家人的身体健康，甚至还可能破坏吸烟者和不吸烟者家庭成员之间的关系。根据新的法律，在泰国，在自己家里吸烟现在可能被视为犯罪。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段的The new law,…aiming at controlling smoking at home which might be hazardous for others' health living under the same roof，was initiated by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security..（这项新法律是由社会发展和人类安全部发起的，旨在控制在家中吸烟，因为在同一屋檐下生活可能会危害他人的健康）和常识可知，吸烟有害人体身体健康，hazardous意为“危险的”，相当于dangerous，故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，作何列出了Mahidol大学医学院的烟草控制研究和知识管理中心的相关数据，说明了490万家庭中有一个或多个家庭成员吸烟，平均有1030万人因为在家里吸烟而不知不觉地成为被动吸烟者。并通过数据说明被动吸烟者患癌症的风险更大，由此可推知，作者通过列举数字的方法组织第3段内容。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。从倒数第二段的Smoking at home also “may lead to physical or emotional violence” …might as well ruin relationships between smokers and non-smoker family members. （在家吸烟也“可能导致身体或情绪暴力”……而且还可能破坏吸烟者和不吸烟者家庭成员之间的关系。）可知，在家里吸烟可能会伤害到其他家庭成员的身体和情感。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段的内容（在泰国，如果你在自己家里吸烟被认为对家里其他人有害，那么在家里吸烟就可能被视为犯罪。）可知，根据新的法律，在泰国自己家里吸烟现在可能被视为犯罪。故选C。 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。 Forgiveness (宽恕) is often considered as an important decision to let go of feelings of anger towards someone who you believe has wronged you.

The event was a chance for everyone to showcase their talents and bond with new classmates. I had been practicing for weeks, preparing a dance routine that I hoped would impress my peers and help me make new friends. As the evening progressed, I felt a mix of nerves and excitement building up inside me. The performances before mine were impressive, and the audience’s applause (掌声) and cheers filled the hall with energy. Finally, my name was called, and it was my turn to step onto the stage. Everything was going smoothly until, halfway through my routine, disaster struck. My shoe lace (鞋带) had come undone, and before I knew it, my foot caught on the lace, causing me to trip and fall hard onto the stage. Time seemed to stop moving as I lay there, and there was silence in the hall. Then, the silence was broken by laughter and the sound of cameras clicking. Some students were even pointing and laughing. My face turned red with embarrassment, and I wished the ground would swallow (吞下) me up right then and there. Just as I was about to get up, still terrified, my teacher, Mrs. Johnson, appeared on stage. She walked over to me, her expression showing concern and determination. Gently helping me to my feet, she turned to the audience and addressed them with a firm voice. “Everyone makes mistakes,” she said, her voice ringing through the hall. “It takes a lot of courage to perform in front of the audience, and we should support each other, not make fun of each other. I expect better from all of you. We are a community, and we must lift each other up, especially in moments like these.” The hall suddenly fell silent. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150 左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 With a smile, Mrs. Johnson gave me a gentle push to continue my performance. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After my performance, I walked off the stage. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With a smile, Mrs. Johnson gave me a gentle push to continue my performance. Gathering all my courage, I retied my shoelaces, took a deep breath, and reset my position. The audience, inspired by Mrs. Johnson’s action, started clapping rhythmically to encourage me. Fueled by their support, I launched into my routine once more, this time with more passion and energy. As I flowed into the moves, my confidence grew, and soon, I was lost in the music, forgetting the earlier misadventure. The applause grew louder as I finished my dance with a flourish, leaving the stage on my final note. After my performance, I walked off the stage. My peers hurried to greet me with praises and pats on the back. “That was amazing!” said one, while another added, “I could never have done that after a fall!” Their genuine admiration warmed my heart and melted away the embarrassment I felt before. I learned that stumbling wasn’t the end; it was part of the journey. Mrs. Johnson’s intervention and the support highlighted the importance of kindness and encouragement. This experience not only helped me forge new friendships but also taught us all to uplift one another in the face of adversity. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，描述了作者在学校欢迎晚会上跳舞绊倒后的经历，通过老师的支持和同学的安慰，终于勇敢地完成了表演，并从中感受到友情和鼓励的力量。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“约翰逊夫人微笑着轻轻推了我一把，让我继续表演。”可知，第一段应围绕在约翰逊夫人的鼓励下重拾信心继续表演展开。先描写内心斗争，然后因得到鼓励勇敢重来，并全情投入直至结束。 ②由第二段首句内容“演出结束后，我走下了舞台。”可知，第二段可描写着重表演后的感悟，同学们对作者的赞赏让我意识到错误是成长的一部分，而约翰逊夫人的善举教会大家团结和鼓励的重要性。 2.续写线索：受到鼓舞——自信大增——表演成功完成——同学们的反应——感激——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①激励：inspire /motivate ②增加：grow/increase ③强调：highlight /stress ④帮助：help/assist 情绪类 ①尴尬：embarrassment / awkwardness ②令人惊讶的：amazing/surprising 【点睛】[高分句型1] As I flowed into the moves, my confidence grew, and soon, I was lost in the music, forgetting the earlier misadventure.

However, if you’re willing to leave your country and explore life in other areas, there are many countries boasting an extremely cheap and low cost of living. Check out the following countries when planning your next move. Ecuador Ecuador is similar to the United States in many ways, and as a result has become a popular American getaway. They even use the US Dollar for their currency. In this country, it’s cheaper to eat out every day than cook for yourself on a budget in the US. You can even buy a building for around $ 50, 000 and hire someone to look after it while you’re away. Mexico Although the country is known for its poverty ridden streets, there $are many wealthier areas that provide every facility you might need. You can live off a mere $ 700 to $ 800 a month in Mexico, and this includes rent for a nice place, facilities, food, and any sightseeing. Argentina Argentina has been a popular tourist destination for many years. It has great restaurants, a rich history, and many places to explore. Not to mention, it’s not very expensive to live here. A decent sized home can cost around $ 139, 000, which is relatively cheap in relation to homes in the United States. Vietnam Vietnam has also become a popular tourist destination in recent years.

I was a total outsider, bullied (欺凌) at school. I felt completely alone in my small town. But by starting to do volunteer work when I was 14, I turned my problem into a passion for helping others. The opportunity to practice kindness made me feel like my life had a greater purpose. The more positive energy I shared, the more kindness and appreciation I received. I realized that my purpose in life would be to reach out to people, specifically teenagers, and help them feel less alone. Books were my true friends back then. I was so thankful that the authors wrote those books. The kindness they offered me with their books saved my life. One of my biggest dreams was to become an author so I could write books that would help other teenagers the way those books helped me. After surviving terrible experiences at school and at home, I made a choice to take the optimistic, positive road in the next steps of my journey. My dream career, one I thought was only possible for the authors I loved, is what I am doing now. I have been a full-time author of teen novels since 2007 and am grateful for this amazing opportunity to reach out to readers every single day. Kindness saved me when I needed help the most. Even small acts of kindness can change someone’s life. You never know what someone else is going through. But by practicing daily kindness, you become an architect of positive change. 4.

He was inspired by his teacher. B. He could pass positive energy to readers. C. He wanted to share his school experiences. D. He found he had a talent for writing. 7. What does the author suggest readers do in the last paragraph? A. Say “no” to bullies bravely. B. Make positive changes in their lives. C. Treat others with kindness in daily life. D. Learn to care more about others’ feelings. C People perform graceful moves, all while standing on a bamboo strip in the river. You may think it’s a scene from an art movie, but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage: bamboo drifting (独竹漂). Bamboo drifting dated back to over 2,000 years ago in the Chishui River area of Guizhou. During the Qin Dynasty, the Bozhou district of Zunyi city was known for its high-quality nanmu. It was in great demand by the royal court more than 2,000 kilometers to the north. With no transportation along the Chishui River, people had to stand on one log (原木) to drift down the river. Later, local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty, wood drifting became bamboo drifting because of bamboo's lower price. Now, communities in Guizhou hold bamboo drifting competitions every year during Dragon Boat Festival. Due to the great strength and balance it takes for one to master this act, bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list. Yang Liu, 24, is an inheritor of bamboo drifting. Yang said the most difficult part of bamboo drifting was keeping one’s balance. “I fell in the water several times when I was practicing.” she told. “Usually, the bamboo under your feet is about 9 meters long, and the bamboo in your hands is about 5 meters. If the length or diameter of the bamboo is not long enough, it will not be buoyant (有浮力的）enough to float. So we should fight against the water flow by continuously changing the angle (角度).” Yang added. But the love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. In the past 17 years, she has drifted all year round, in winter cold and summer heat. Yang also produces new ideas when spreading the culture of bamboo drifting. For example, she connects dance with bamboo drifting to make it more graceful and wears hanfu when performing, creating a beautiful feel. In 2020. Yang registered on social media platforms and posted her videos. “I want to spread it to other countries so that more people around the world will like Chinese culture.” she told China Daily. 8. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. The use of bamboo drifting. B. The birthplace of bamboo drifting. C. The acting skills for bamboo drifting D. The historical development of bamboo drifting. 9. Why was bamboo drifting listed into the national intangible cultural heritage? A. It spreads Chinese culture to the world B. It enjoys great popularity among Guizhou people. C. It’s physically and technically demanding for performers. D. It’s an important activity during the Dragon Boat Festival. 10. What is the most challenging for bamboo drifting? A. Keeping one’s balance. B. Performing graceful moves. C. Choosing bamboos of proper size. D. Continuously changing the angle 11. Which of the following best describes Yang Liu? A. Responsible and brave. B. Creative and determined. C. Hard-working and outgoing. D. Knowledgeable and competitive. D Smoking in your own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime, if the smoke is considered harmful to other people in the house. The new law, Family Protection and Development Promotion Act, aiming at controlling smoking at home which might be hazardous for others' health living under the same roof，was initiated by the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security and was announced in the Royal Gazette on May 22, 2019. It came into force on August 20. According to the center for research and knowledge management for tobacco control, at the Faculty of Medical Science of Mahidol University, there are about 4.9 million households where one or more family members smoke. An average of 10.3 million people have unwittingly（不知不觉地） become passive smokers because they’ve been breathing smoke at home. Scientific studies show that passive smokers are at greater risk of being affected by cancer. Of 75 child patients from houses where smoking is practiced, 76% of them were found to have nicotine traces in their urine（尿液）, with 43% of them having nicotine content exceeding（超过） permissible levels. Smoking at home also “may lead to physical or emotional violence” because of aggressiveness when there is a lack of smoking, and might as well ruin relationships between smokers and non-smoker family members. According to the new law, anyone who thinks they are affected by domestic smoking can report to government departments concerned so that officials will be sent to investigate and take legal action against the smokers. Once convicted(证明有罪的), the court may order a person to receive treatment to quit smoking in an attempt to protect the person's family. 12. What does the underlined word “hazardous” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. risky B. beneficial C. influential D. dangerous 13. How does the author organize Paragraph 3 ? A. by listing figures B. by giving examples C. by comparing the differences D. by explaining the reasons 14. We can learn from the passage that__________ A. smoking anywhere in Thailand is considered a crime. B. passive smokers are more likely to have lung cancer . C. 76% of the children in Thailand have nicotine traces in their urine. D. smoking at home may hurt other family members both physically and emotionally. 15. According to the new law, ___________ A. anybody must report to the officials once they are affected. B. officials will take legal action against all the people concerned . C. smoking in one’s own home in Thailand may now be considered a crime. D. the court may order a smoker to stop smoking to protect all nonsmokers . 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。 Forgiveness (宽恕) is often considered as an important decision to let go of feelings of anger towards someone who you believe has wronged you.

Facing what you have done or what has happened is the first step towards self-forgiveness. It’s also the hardest step. If you have been making excuses in order to make them seem acceptable, it is time to accept what you have done. Treat yourself with kindness and compassion (同情) Forgiving yourself requires facing your actions, but it is important to reach this with self-compassion. ___18___ .

The event was a chance for everyone to showcase their talents and bond with new classmates. I had been practicing for weeks, preparing a dance routine that I hoped would impress my peers and help me make new friends. As the evening progressed, I felt a mix of nerves and excitement building up inside me. The performances before mine were impressive, and the audience’s applause (掌声) and cheers filled the hall with energy. Finally, my name was called, and it was my turn to step onto the stage. Everything was going smoothly until, halfway through my routine, disaster struck. My shoe lace (鞋带) had come undone, and before I knew it, my foot caught on the lace, causing me to trip and fall hard onto the stage. Time seemed to stop moving as I lay there, and there was silence in the hall. Then, the silence was broken by laughter and the sound of cameras clicking. Some students were even pointing and laughing. My face turned red with embarrassment, and I wished the ground would swallow (吞下) me up right then and there. Just as I was about to get up, still terrified, my teacher, Mrs. Johnson, appeared on stage. She walked over to me, her expression showing concern and determination. Gently helping me to my feet, she turned to the audience and addressed them with a firm voice. “Everyone makes mistakes,” she said, her voice ringing through the hall. “It takes a lot of courage to perform in front of the audience, and we should support each other, not make fun of each other. I expect better from all of you. We are a community, and we must lift each other up, especially in moments like these.” The hall suddenly fell silent. 注意： 1.续写词数应为 150 左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 With a smile, Mrs. Johnson gave me a gentle push to continue my performance. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After my performance, I walked off the stage. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
