Shoot Your Shot aims to encourage readers to find success in anything they do in life, whether it’s athletics, academics, the arts, or something in between. Never Fight Alone Sometimes, teens just want to be heard by someone who understands, like some one of their own age. Written by Shelomo Solson, Never Fight Alone consists of 51 inspiring interviews with people — from former professional athletes to authors and teen entrepreneurs — who have faced various life problems, like anxiety, depression, and more.

By age 7, she was already doing high school work. At that point, she started to take college-level tests and apply the credits toward higher education. By age 14, Dorothy had obtained an associate’s, bachelor’s and master’s degree. And she was a year into launching a science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) camp startup, and was looking for funding for the organization. Fast-forward two years, when 17-year-old Dorothy successfully delivered her graduation paper. Now, at 18, she is officially Dr. Dorothy Jean Tillman after attending the graduation ceremony at Arizona State University (ASU)’s College of Health Solutions on May 8. In addition to her school work, Dorothy also devotes her time to running the Dorothy Jeanius STEAM Leadership Institute, which prompts hundreds of young people in Chicago, as well as abroad in countries like Ghana and South Africa, to pursue STEAM careers. The program includes guest speakers and open conversations around each of the five areas of STEAM. “We just want to provide them with all possible resources and the best foundation to be able to start walking on that pathway to their dreams,” she says. While so many people wonder at the success she’s achieved, Dorothy says she is still a normal teen who spends time with family and friends. She gives credit to her mother as one of her greatest motivators. “I definitely couldn’t have got this far without her. She’s definitely the best teammate and the best supporter,” she says. Another inspiration for Dorothy is her grandmother, former Chicago official Dorothy Tillman, who worked alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights movement. After graduating from ASU, Dorothy hopes to continue developing her camps and start applying her studies on integrated behavioral health into her work. “There is a potential for franchising (授予特许经营权) the camps one day so more kids gain something,” she says. She also hopes to work more with kids in Africa. 4. Which word can best describe Dorothy? A. Talented. B. Humorous. C. Strict. D. Honest. 5. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Dorothy? A.

By age 7, she was already doing high school work. At that point, she started to take college-level tests and apply the credits toward higher education.(Dorothy Jean Tillman从小就在学术上表现出色。7岁时，她已经开始上高中了。那时，她开始参加大学水平的考试，并将学分用于高等教育)”可知，Dorothy Jean Tillman从小就在学术上表现出色，7岁时已经开始上高中，所以Dorothy Jean Tillman是有天赋的。故选A。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“By age 14, Dorothy had obtained an associate’s, bachelor’s and master’s degree. And she was a year into launching a science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) camp startup, and was looking for funding for the organization. Fast-forward two years, when 17-year-old Dorothy successfully delivered her graduation paper. Now, at 18, she is officially Dr. Dorothy Jean Tillman after attending the graduation ceremony at Arizona State University (ASU)’s College of Health Solutions on May 8.(到14岁时，Dorothy已经获得了副学士、学士和硕士学位。她创办了一家科学、技术、工程、艺术和数学（STEAM）营地初创公司一年，正在为该组织寻找资金。两年后，17岁的Dorothy成功地递交了毕业论文。现在，18岁的她在5月8日参加了亚利桑那州立大学（ASU）健康解决方案学院的毕业典礼后，正式成为Dorothy Jean Tillman博士)”可知，本段主要介绍了Dorothy Jean Tillman在不同阶段取得的各项成就。故选B。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“In addition to her school work, Dorothy also devotes her time to running the Dorothy Jeanius STEAM Leadership Institute, which prompts hundreds of young people in Chicago, as well as abroad in countries like Ghana and South Africa, to pursue STEAM careers.

She also hopes to work more with kids in Africa.(从亚利桑那州立大学毕业后，Dorothy希望继续发展她的营地，并开始将她对综合行为健康的研究应用于她的工作中。“有一天，有可能授予营地特许经营权，这样更多的孩子就能有所收获，”她说。她还希望更多地与非洲的孩子一起工作)”可知，Dorothy想要特许经营权，是为了让更多的孩子有所收获，从中受益。故选C。 C People all over the world watch the Olympic Games on TV, cheer on their nations’ athletes, and get into the spirit of friendly international competition. Yet how many people know how these games came about and why they were created? Who came up with the idea of an Olympic torch (火炬)? Looking back in time can answer those questions. The first Olympic Games in recorded history took place in 776 BC on the ancient plains of Olympia in southern Greece. These ancient games took place in a religious festival and were devoted to the Olympian gods. They continued for almost twelve centuries until Emperor Theodosius banned them in AD 393. It was about 1,500 years after the last Olympics that the ancient games were revived (复兴). Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a Frenchman devoted to the promotion of physical education, was inspired to create a modern Olympic Games after he visited the ancient Olympic site. The first modern Olympic Games took place in Athens, Greece, in 1896, and were attended by 280 athletes from 12 countries, who competed in 43 events. In 2004, the Olympic Games returned to Greece with nearly 11,000 athletes representing 201 countries. The first opening ceremony (仪式) was at the London Olympics in 1908. The Olympic torch was lit for the first time at the opening ceremony of the 1936 Games in Germany. The ancient Greeks had a ritual fire for their games, but the idea of lighting a torch in Olympia and relaying it to the site of the games actually belongs to Carl Diem, who was the chief organizer of the Berlin Games. The games were cancelled three times due to global conflicts. They were not held in 1916 during World War I and in 1940 and 1944 during World War II. The games have continued uninterrupted since 1948. A minor change did take place in 1994 when the timing of the Summer and Winter Olympic Games was changed so that they would not be held in the same year. 8. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To lead in the topic. B. To make a comparison. C. To provide an example. D. To present an argument. 9. Where can you find the data that best support “the Olympic Games have grown in size”? A. In paragraph 2. B. In paragraph 4. C. In paragraph 5. D. In paragraph 6. 10. What mainly caused the interruption of the modern Olympic Games? A. The two world wars. B. Carl Diem’s disapproval. C. The loss of the Olympic torch. D. The ban from Theodosius. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The rules of the Olympic Games. B. The importance of doing sports. C. The political events of Greece. D. The brief history of the Olympics. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了奥运会的简史。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Yet how many people know how these games came about and why they were created? Who came up with the idea of an Olympic torch (火炬)? Looking back in time can answer those questions.(然而，有多少人知道这些比赛是如何产生的，为什么要创造它们？谁想出了奥运火炬的主意？回顾过去可以回答这些问题)”可知，第一段通过设问引入奥林匹克运动会的主题，故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The first modern Olympic Games took place in Athens, Greece, in 1896, and were attended by 280 athletes from 12 countries, who competed in 43 events. In 2004, the Olympic Games returned to Greece with nearly 11,000 athletes representing 201 countries.(第一届现代奥运会于1896年在希腊雅典举行，有来自12个国家的280名运动员参加了43个项目的比赛。2004年，奥运会重返希腊，有来自201个国家的近1.1万名运动员参加)”可知，第四段提到1896年首届现代奥运会的280名运动员，及2004年回到希腊的运动会有近11,000名运动员参赛，体现了奥运会规模的增长，故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“They were not held in 1916 during World War I and in 1940 and 1944 during World War II.(第一次世界大战期间的1916年和第二次世界大战期间的1940年和1944年都没有举行)”可知，现代奥运会取消的原因是第一次世界大战和第二次世界大战。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Yet how many people know how these games came about and why they were created? Who came up with the idea of an Olympic torch (火炬)? Looking back in time can answer those questions.(然而，有多少人知道这些比赛是如何产生的，为什么要创造它们？谁想出了奥运火炬的主意？回顾过去可以回答这些问题)”以及下文介绍了不同时间段的事件可知，短文主要介绍了奥运会的简史。故选D项。 D It’s less furry than a traditional companion, but a six-legged Chinese robot “guide dog” could one day help vision-impaired (视觉受损的) people live with more independence, according to its research development team in Shanghai. The robot dog, which is currently being field-tested, is able to navigate (导航) its physical environment via cameras and sensors, including recognizing traffic light signals, which traditional guide dogs are unable to do. Roughly the size of an English Bulldog but a bit wider, it can communicate by listening and speaking with a visually impaired operator with AI-technology integrated in its voice recognition, route planning capabilities and traffic light recognition. It also has six legs, which the researchers say help it walk smoothly and with maximum stability. Married couple Li Fei, 41, and Zhu Sibin, 42, are among the visually impaired people helping the Jiao Tong University team test the robot using Chinese-language commands. “If this robot guide dog comes onto the market and I could use it, at least it could solve some of my problems in traveling alone,” Li said. Robot guide dogs are under development in other countries, including Australia and Britain, but China has a critical shortage of traditional guide dogs. “In China, there are just over 400 guide dogs for almost 20 million blind people,” said Professor Gao Feng, the head of the research team at Jiao Tong University’s School of Mechanical Engineering in Shanghai. There might be tens of millions of people in the world who need guide dogs. Unlike those dogs, which will always be limited in supply due to the natural limitations of breeding and the intense training required, Gao said the production of robot guide dogs could be scaled, especially in a major manufacturing center like China. “It’s a bit like cars. I can mass-produce them in the same way as cars, so it will become more affordable,” Gao said. 12. Why does the author mention “traffic light signals” in paragraph 2? A. To predict traffic rules in the future. B. To demonstrate the function of the robot dog. C. To stress the importance of obeying traffic rules. D. To show the advantage of traditional guide dogs. 13. What do we know about the Chinese robot guide dog? A. It has four legs. B. It is hard to keep stable. C. It has passed the field test. D. It is wider than an English Bulldog. 14 What is Li Fei’s attitude to the robot dog? A. Unconcerned. B. Doubtful. C. Favorable. D. Unclear. 15. What do the last two paragraphs try to tell us? A. It is easy to train traditional guide dogs. B. China has enough traditional guide dogs. C. Robot guide dogs will have a big market. D. Professor Gao wants to mass-produce cars. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了中国科学家发明的机器人导盲犬。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The robot dog, which is currently being field-tested, is able to navigate (导航) its physical environment via cameras and sensors, including recognizing traffic light signals, which traditional guide dogs are unable to do.(这只机器狗目前正在接受实地测试，它能够通过摄像头和传感器在物理环境中导航，包括识别交通灯信号，这是传统导盲犬无法做到的)”可知，作者提到“交通信号灯”是为了说明机器人导盲犬不同于传统导盲犬的功能。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Roughly the size of an English Bulldog but a bit wider, it can communicate by listening and speaking with a visually impaired operator with AI-technology integrated in its voice recognition, route planning capabilities and traffic light recognition.(它的大小和英国斗牛犬差不多，但比斗牛犬宽一点，它可以通过语音识别、路线规划和红绿灯识别等人工智能技术，与视力受损的操作员进行交流)”可知，中国机器人导盲犬比英国斗牛犬的体型宽一些。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段Li Fei提到的“If this robot guide dog comes onto the market and I could use it, at least it could solve some of my problems in traveling alone(如果这只机器导盲犬上市，我可以使用它，至少它可以解决我独自旅行的一些问题)”可推断，李飞对机器人导盲犬的态度是“支持的”。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“In China, there are just over 400 guide dogs for almost 20 million blind people(在中国，只有400多只导盲犬为近2000万盲人服务)”和最后一段“There might be tens of millions of people in the world who need guide dogs. Unlike those dogs, which will always be limited in supply due to the natural limitations of breeding and the intense training required, Gao said the production of robot guide dogs could be scaled, especially in a major manufacturing center like China.(世界上可能有数以千万计的人需要导盲犬。由于繁殖的自然限制和需要的高强度训练，这些狗的供应总是有限的，高说，机器人导盲犬的生产是可以规模化的，特别是在中国这样的主要制造业中心)”可知，最后两段主要提到传统导盲犬存在不足，而机器人导盲犬可以在制造上规模化，从而解决导盲犬短缺的问题，因此机器人导盲犬具有很大的市场前景。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。 Are you refused when you ask for help from others?

Sometimes people are shy about offering help, or are just stuck in their own head and don’t think of offering. ____19____ By asking someone for help, you’re actually giving that person the opportunity to boost their mood. Make your requests using multiple channels. In customer-service situations, there are multiple options to ask for help.

She entered my office crying her eyes out one day when her wallet had been stolen out of her backpack. Her classmates had seen another student, Dustin, take her wallet to a nearby restroom and get twenty-three dollars from the wallet. When I had Dustin come to my office, he admitted to taking the wallet to the restroom. He would not, however, admit to taking the money even though the empty wallet was found in the restroom. I told him that since he took the wallet, he was now responsible for it. He had one week to bring the money, or he would be punished for stealing, which would also mean he would be off the track team. I tried to call Dustin’s father all that afternoon, but the phone was always busy. Finally at 7:00 pm, I managed to contact him and told him of the incident. He could see to it that Dustin would return the money. A week flew by, and Stephanie stood sadly in my doorway once more. She said that Dustin had not yet returned the money. I tried Dustin’s father’s work number again and this time he answered the phone right away. Dustin’s father said that he didn’t take this lightly and would bring Dustin in person to meet with Stephanie and me. During the meeting, while we waited for Stephanie to come to my office, Dustin’s father filled me in on some background. Up until two years before, Dustin had lived with his mother in Los Angeles until she could no longer deal with his rebellious (叛逆的) nature. He then came to Sacramento to live with his father who was a single, working parent. His father thanked me for my willingness to work with Dustin, rather than just punish him. 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。 When Stephanie arrived Dustin sat in his chair and crossed his arms. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dustin stayed on the track team, and was never referred to this office again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 When Stephanie arrived, Dustin sat in his chair and crossed his arms. His father introduced himself to Stephanie and apologized to her on Dustin’s behalf. Dustin kept his face blank. Then his father turned to Dustin. “Dustin, don’t you have something to say?” Dustin said nothing but remained silent. His father, whose eyes suddenly narrowed, said firmly, “Dustin. Now!” Walking to Stephanie, Dustin handed her a closed envelope, “I’m sorry. I took your wallet. Here’s your money.” Stephanie looked at him with wide brown eyes and gently said, “I forgive you.” Astonished, Dustin stared at her in disbelief. Dustin stayed on the track team, and was never referred to this office again. Through ongoing conversations, he was eventually able to accept and even like himself. Stephanie had shown him the way. By forgiving him, she taught him how to forgive himself. I often think of Stephanie because, on the surface, she looked like a tiny flower. But she had me fooled. Inside, where it really counted, she used her wisdom, power and courage to help a classmate who needed to turn his life around. Soft-spoken Stephanie turned out to be the bravest one of all. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。本文讲述了一位高中校长处理学生Dustin偷窃同学Stephanie钱包事件的过程。尽管Dustin承认拿了钱包但否认取钱，校长给了他一周时间归还钱，否则将受惩罚并被逐出田径队。经过与Dustin父亲的沟通，最终决定共同面对问题，给予Dustin改正的机会。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“当Stephanie到达时，Dustin坐在椅子上，双臂交叉。”可知，第一段可以描写Dustin向Stephanie道歉的过程和Stephanie对于Dustin的原谅。 ②由第二段句首内容“Dustin得以继续留在田径队，并且再也没有被送到校长办公室。”可知，第二段可以描写这件事对于不同角色地影响和作者对Stephanie的评价。 2.续写线索：Dustin坐在椅子上—Dustin向Stephanie道歉—Dustin获得原谅—Dustin继续留在田径队—感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①向某人道歉：apologize to sb./ make an apology to sb. ②保持沉默：remain silent/ keep silent ③递给某人某物：hand sb. sth./ pass sb. sth. 情绪类 ①难以置信地：in disbelief/ incredibly ②原谅：forgive/ pardon 【点睛】【高分句型1】His father, whose eyes suddenly narrowed, said firmly, “Dustin.

B From a young age Dorothy Jean Tillman excelled in her academic pursuits. By age 7, she was already doing high school work. At that point, she started to take college-level tests and apply the credits toward higher education. By age 14, Dorothy had obtained an associate’s, bachelor’s and master’s degree. And she was a year into launching a science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) camp startup, and was looking for funding for the organization. Fast-forward two years, when 17-year-old Dorothy successfully delivered her graduation paper. Now, at 18, she is officially Dr. Dorothy Jean Tillman after attending the graduation ceremony at Arizona State University (ASU)’s College of Health Solutions on May 8. In addition to her school work, Dorothy also devotes her time to running the Dorothy Jeanius STEAM Leadership Institute, which prompts hundreds of young people in Chicago, as well as abroad in countries like Ghana and South Africa, to pursue STEAM careers. The program includes guest speakers and open conversations around each of the five areas of STEAM. “We just want to provide them with all possible resources and the best foundation to be able to start walking on that pathway to their dreams,” she says. While so many people wonder at the success she’s achieved, Dorothy says she is still a normal teen who spends time with family and friends. She gives credit to her mother as one of her greatest motivators. “I definitely couldn’t have got this far without her. She’s definitely the best teammate and the best supporter,” she says. Another inspiration for Dorothy is her grandmother, former Chicago official Dorothy Tillman, who worked alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights movement. After graduating from ASU, Dorothy hopes to continue developing her camps and start applying her studies on integrated behavioral health into her work. “There is a potential for franchising (授予特许经营权) the camps one day so more kids gain something,” she says. She also hopes to work more with kids in Africa. 4. Which word can best describe Dorothy? A. Talented. B. Humorous. C. Strict. D. Honest. 5. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Dorothy? A. Her troubles. B. Her achievements. C. Her family life. D. Her job experience. 6. What does the underlined word “prompts” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Forces. B. Warns. C. Begs. D. Motivates. 7. Why does Dorothy want to franchise the camps? A. To make money. B. To help teachers. C. To benefit more children. D. To develop local tourism. C People all over the world watch the Olympic Games on TV, cheer on their nations’ athletes, and get into the spirit of friendly international competition. Yet how many people know how these games came about and why they were created? Who came up with the idea of an Olympic torch (火炬)? Looking back in time can answer those questions. The first Olympic Games in recorded history took place in 776 BC on the ancient plains of Olympia in southern Greece. These ancient games took place in a religious festival and were devoted to the Olympian gods. They continued for almost twelve centuries until Emperor Theodosius banned them in AD 393. It was about 1,500 years after the last Olympics that the ancient games were revived (复兴). Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a Frenchman devoted to the promotion of physical education, was inspired to create a modern Olympic Games after he visited the ancient Olympic site. The first modern Olympic Games took place in Athens, Greece, in 1896, and were attended by 280 athletes from 12 countries, who competed in 43 events. In 2004, the Olympic Games returned to Greece with nearly 11,000 athletes representing 201 countries. The first opening ceremony (仪式) was at the London Olympics in 1908. The Olympic torch was lit for the first time at the opening ceremony of the 1936 Games in Germany. The ancient Greeks had a ritual fire for their games, but the idea of lighting a torch in Olympia and relaying it to the site of the games actually belongs to Carl Diem, who was the chief organizer of the Berlin Games. The games were cancelled three times due to global conflicts. They were not held in 1916 during World War I and in 1940 and 1944 during World War II. The games have continued uninterrupted since 1948. A minor change did take place in 1994 when the timing of the Summer and Winter Olympic Games was changed so that they would not be held in the same year. 8. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To lead in the topic. B. To make a comparison. C. To provide an example. D. To present an argument. 9. Where can you find the data that best support “the Olympic Games have grown in size”? A. In paragraph 2. B. In paragraph 4. C. In paragraph 5. D. In paragraph 6. 10. What mainly caused the interruption of the modern Olympic Games? A. The two world wars. B. Carl Diem’s disapproval. C. The loss of the Olympic torch. D. The ban from Theodosius. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The rules of the Olympic Games. B. The importance of doing sports. C. The political events of Greece. D. The brief history of the Olympics. D It’s less furry than a traditional companion, but a six-legged Chinese robot “guide dog” could one day help vision-impaired (视觉受损的) people live with more independence, according to its research development team in Shanghai. The robot dog, which is currently being field-tested, is able to navigate (导航) its physical environment via cameras and sensors, including recognizing traffic light signals, which traditional guide dogs are unable to do. Roughly the size of an English Bulldog but a bit wider, it can communicate by listening and speaking with a visually impaired operator with AI-technology integrated in its voice recognition, route planning capabilities and traffic light recognition. It also has six legs, which the researchers say help it walk smoothly and with maximum stability. Married couple Li Fei, 41, and Zhu Sibin, 42, are among the visually impaired people helping the Jiao Tong University team test the robot using Chinese-language commands. “If this robot guide dog comes onto the market and I could use it, at least it could solve some of my problems in traveling alone,” Li said. Robot guide dogs are under development in other countries, including Australia and Britain, but China has a critical shortage of traditional guide dogs. “In China, there are just over 400 guide dogs for almost 20 million blind people,” said Professor Gao Feng, the head of the research team at Jiao Tong University’s School of Mechanical Engineering in Shanghai. There might be tens of millions of people in the world who need guide dogs. Unlike those dogs, which will always be limited in supply due to the natural limitations of breeding and the intense training required, Gao said the production of robot guide dogs could be scaled, especially in a major manufacturing center like China. “It’s a bit like cars. I can mass-produce them in the same way as cars, so it will become more affordable,” Gao said. 12. Why does the author mention “traffic light signals” in paragraph 2? A.

She entered my office crying her eyes out one day when her wallet had been stolen out of her backpack. Her classmates had seen another student, Dustin, take her wallet to a nearby restroom and get twenty-three dollars from the wallet. When I had Dustin come to my office, he admitted to taking the wallet to the restroom. He would not, however, admit to taking the money even though the empty wallet was found in the restroom. I told him that since he took the wallet, he was now responsible for it. He had one week to bring the money, or he would be punished for stealing, which would also mean he would be off the track team. I tried to call Dustin’s father all that afternoon, but the phone was always busy. Finally at 7:00 pm, I managed to contact him and told him of the incident. He could see to it that Dustin would return the money. A week flew by, and Stephanie stood sadly in my doorway once more. She said that Dustin had not yet returned the money. I tried Dustin’s father’s work number again and this time he answered the phone right away. Dustin’s father said that he didn’t take this lightly and would bring Dustin in person to meet with Stephanie and me. During the meeting, while we waited for Stephanie to come to my office, Dustin’s father filled me in on some background. Up until two years before, Dustin had lived with his mother in Los Angeles until she could no longer deal with his rebellious (叛逆的) nature. He then came to Sacramento to live with his father who was a single, working parent. His father thanked me for my willingness to work with Dustin, rather than just punish him. 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。 When Stephanie arrived, Dustin sat in his chair and crossed his arms. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Dustin stayed on the track team, and was never referred to this office again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1~5 ACCAB 6~10 BCCBA 11~15 ACACB 16~20 BCABB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
