Stream it on Peacock.(在哪里看：在影院。在Peacock上播放)”可知，Alexander Payne的电影The Holdovers可以在Peacock上流播。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Killers of the Flower Moon标题下的“Based on a true story, director Martin Scorsese’s epic film tracks the suspicious murders of members of the Osage Nation in 1920s Oklahoma after they find oil there.(导演马丁·斯科塞斯的史诗电影根据一个真实故事改编，追踪了20世纪20年代俄克拉荷马州奥萨奇民族成员在那里发现石油后被可疑谋杀的故事)”以及Nyad标题下的“Directed by Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, the film tells the true story of a marathon swimmer who attempts to become the first person ever to swim from Cuba to Florida.(该片由伊丽莎白·柴·瓦萨赫利和吉米·金执导，告诉了一位马拉松游泳运动员试图成为有史以来第一个从古巴游到佛罗里达州的人的真实故事)”可知，这两部电影的共同点是都涉及到真实故事。故选B。 B In a heart-pounding display of courage and quick thinking, a 65-year-old crane operator became an unexpected hero as he rescued a man trapped on top of a towering building engulfed in flames. Glen Edwards, a crane operator from Egham, was expressing his gratitude after a tense rescue operation in Reading last Thursday. Edwards found himself in a challenging situation as he navigated circling winds to save a man trapped by smoke and flames on a building. The dramatic rescue unfolded amid thick black smoke, making visibility nearly impossible When the alarm sounded, Edwards, who had a concrete skip on his crane, wasted no time the moment he spotted the distressed man waving his coat. Employing his experience and knowledge of the area, Edwards attached a metal cage to the crane, carefully considering his options for the rescue. However, the challenging conditions, with smoke sheltering his view, added an extra layer of difficulty to the operation. With a colleague providing guidance and a concerned crowd watching from below, Edwards skillfully operated the crane to rescue the man. The onlookers erupted in cheers and applause as the man was safely lifted to the ground. Reflecting on the intense experience, Edwards remarked, “It seemed to pass a long time until the man got inside. The adrenaline (肾上腺素) was pumping.” He admitted to experiencing shaking after the rescue, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. Despite the successful operation, Edwards is yet to meet the man he saved, humorously noting, “He’s got to take me across the road for a drink!” The heartwarming part of this story is the overwhelming support Edwards has received from well-wishers. A fund-raising page was set up to “buy Edwards a beer as a sign of gratitude,” initially aiming for £5,000 but now standing at an impressive ₤9,100. The community’s response has left Edwards deeply moved. He stated, “It means a lot; some of the comments have been absolutely fantastic.” 4. What does the underlined word “distressed” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Brave. B. Painful. C. Enthusiastic. D. Disappointed. 5. Which of the following can best describe Edwards? A. Warm and Curious. B. Caring and ambitious. C Professional and humorous. D. Gifted and generous. 6. What can we conclude from the last paragraph? A. Sharp tools make good work. B. One good turn descries another. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Hope for the best,but prepare for the worst. 7. What is the text probably taken from? A. A diary entry. B. A medical magazine. C. A news report. D. A first-aid essay. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了起重机操作员Glen Edwards拯救了一名被困在失火的高楼楼顶的男子，后来他自己也得到了社区人们的筹款和大力支持。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“In a heart-pounding display of courage and quick thinking, a 65-year-old crane operator became an unexpected hero as he rescued a man trapped on top of a towering building engulfed in flames.(一位65岁的起重机操作员以惊人的勇气和敏捷的思维，救出了一名被困在被大火吞噬的高耸建筑顶部的男子，成为了一位意想不到的英雄)”以及第二段“Edwards found himself in a challenging situation as he navigated circling winds to save a man trapped by smoke and flames on a building.(爱德华兹发现自己处于一个充满挑战的境地，他在盘旋的风中拯救了一名被烟雾和火焰困在建筑物上的男子)”可知，这名男子被困在火中，结合常识可知，被困在火中的人会感觉痛苦，划线词distressed表示“痛苦的”，与painful意义相近。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Employing his experience and knowledge of the area, Edwards attached a metal cage to the crane, carefully considering his options for the rescue. (利用他在该地区的经验和知识，爱德华兹在起重机上安装了一个金属笼，仔细考虑了他的救援选择)”、第四段“Edwards skillfully operated the crane to rescue the man.(爱德华兹熟练地操作起重机营救了这名男子)”以及第六段“Despite the successful operation, Edwards is yet to meet the man he saved, humorously noting, “He’s got to take me across the road for a drink!”(尽管手术成功了，爱德华兹还没有见到他救的那个人，他幽默地说：“他要带我过马路去喝一杯！”)”可推知，爱德华兹具备专业技能，并且具有幽默感。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The heartwarming part of this story is the overwhelming support Edwards has received from well-wishers. A fund-raising page was set up to “buy Edwards a beer as a sign of gratitude,” initially aiming for £ 5,000 but now standing at an impressive ₤9,100. The community’s response has left Edwards deeply moved. He stated, “It means a lot; some of the comments have been absolutely fantastic.”(这个故事的感人之处在于爱德华兹得到了来自祝福者的巨大支持。设立了一个筹款页面，“给爱德华兹买一杯啤酒以示感谢”，最初的目标是5000英镑，但现在达到了令人印象深刻的9100英镑。社区的反应让爱德华兹深受感动。他说：“这意味着很多；有些评论非常棒。”)”可知，做了好事的爱德华兹得到了社区人们的筹款和大力支持。由此推知，好人有好报。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Glen Edwards, a crane operator from Egham, was expressing his gratitude after a tense rescue operation in Reading last Thursday.(来自埃格姆的起重机操作员格伦·爱德华兹在上周四雷丁紧张的救援行动后表达了他的感激之情)”以及文章内容可知，本文报道了起重机操作员Glen Edwards拯救了一名被困在失火的高楼楼顶的男子，后来他自己也得到了社区人们的筹款和大力支持。由此推知，文章出自一篇新闻报道。故选C项。 C If you’re aiming to cut back on meat and you want to build muscle strength, you’re not alone. Now, a new study finds that swapping red and processed meat for plant protein a few times a week leads to better health and lowers carbon emission. “We found that there was an increase in life expectancy of approximately nine months linked to 50% reduction of red meat consumption,” says Olivia Auclair. “When it comes to diet changes to improve health and climate, we don’t need to go to major extremes or completely wipe out foods from our diet.” But sudden changes can be jarring. For a long time Kyle Backlund had been in the habit of eating meat at many meals, and when he cut back, he felt a drop in his energy level and experienced some tiredness and weakness. When he realized he needed to increase his protein intake, his wife Stephany Marreel — who does most of the cooking and also eats a plant-based diet — found a solution by adding tofu, vegetables, and grains. Kyle says he is now feeling good on his plant-focused diet. People can get all the protein and nutrients they need from a plant-based diet as long as they do a little planning, says Dr. Christopher Gardner, a food scientist. “If someone is consuming a reasonable variety, meeting protein needs from plant sources is no problem,” Gardner says. There’s an environmental argument for shifting diet as well, Gardner says. Livestock (家畜) require lots of land and water. Beef production requires 20 times more land and produces 20 times more greenhouse gas emissions, per gram of protein, compared to beans. If people in the U.S. swapped beef for beans, this one switch alone could get the U.S. about halfway to its greenhouse gas reduction goals. 8. What should you do to improve health and climate according to Olivia Auclair? A. Change your meat-based diet a little. B. Give up red meat in your meals. C. Become a devoted plant-protein lover. D. Take up proper ways of cooking. 9. What does the underlined word “jarring” in the third paragraph probably mean? A. Admirable. B. Upsetting. C. Meaningful. D. Rewarding. 10. How can one meet his protein needs while following a plant-based diet? A. By exercising more. B. By consuming less red meat. C. By eating various foods. D. By having whole grain. 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Cattle are the main source of greenhouse gases. B. Americans are reducing greenhouse gas emission. C. Shifting diet can be beneficial to the planet. D. Bean production requires lots of land and water. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了减少红肉和加工肉的摄入，增加植物蛋白的摄入对健康和环境的好处。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段““We found that there was an increase in life expectancy of approximately nine months linked to 50% reduction of red meat consumption,” says Olivia Auclair. “When it comes to diet changes to improve health and climate, we don’t need to go to major extremes or completely wipe out foods from our diet.”(“我们发现，减少50%的红肉消费，预期寿命增加了大约9个月，”奥利维亚·奥克莱尔说。“在改变饮食以改善健康和气候方面，我们不需要走向极端，也不需要完全从饮食中抹去食物。”)”可推知，奥利维亚·奥克莱尔建议适度改变肉食为主的饮食。故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“For a long time Kyle Backlund had been in the habit of eating meat at many meals, and when he cut back, he felt a drop in his energy level and experienced some tiredness and weakness.(很长一段时间以来，凯尔·贝克兰德一直有在很多餐中吃肉的习惯，当他减少吃肉时，他感到精力下降，感到有些疲倦和虚弱)”可知，突然的变化可能会令人不安。由此推知，划线词jarring与upsetting“令人心烦意乱的”意思接近。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段““If someone is consuming a reasonable variety, meeting protein needs from plant sources is no problem,” Gardner says. (“如果有人摄入的食物种类合理，那么从植物中获取蛋白质的需求就不成问题，”加德纳说)”可推知，通过吃各种各样的食物，人们可以在遵循植物性饮食的同时，满足他们的蛋白质需求。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Livestock (家畜) require lots of land and water. Beef production requires 20 times more land and produces 20 times more greenhouse gas emissions, per gram of protein, compared to beans. If people in the U.S. swapped beef for beans, this one switch alone could get the U.S. about halfway to its greenhouse gas reduction goals.(家畜需要大量的土地和水。与豆类相比，每克蛋白质的牛肉生产需要20倍的土地，并产生20倍的温室气体排放。如果美国人将牛肉换成豆类，这一单独的转变就可以让美国实现其温室气体减排目标的大约一半)”可推知，改变饮食习惯对地球有益。故选C。 D Children of all ages gathered in New York City recently for the International Toy Fair. Hidden among already popular toys were new, high-tech educational products. Toymakers are working to create these products for improving a child’s emotional intelligence. Companies showed off their products last week at New York’s Jacob Javitz Convention Center. PleIQ is a set of plastic toy blocks. It uses visual reality technology to teach words, numbers and other things. Edison Duran directs the company that makes PlelQ. She showed people at the toy fair how virtual images appear on the blocks when they are held in front of a tablet camera. On the other side of the center, Karen Hu from another company demonstrated an educational robot called Woobo. The robot comes programmed with educational games and activities. Children use its touch screen face to get them started. Hu described how the robot can help a child who has autism (自闭症). “The child can communicate with Woobo and follow some of the instructions Woobo is giving because he thinks of this as a companion instead of a parent or someone else telling him to do certain things.” At the EQtainment stand, sales director Jonathan Erickson explained the company’s toys. “The purpose of all of our products is to develop emotional and social intelligence.” he said. Erickson showed off a board game called “Q’s Race to the Top. He said the game got his 4-year-old daughter to open up. “The biggest thing is her talking. And that’s the key of all this — getting her feelings expressed out. Like, ‘Hey, what does it feel like to be sad? Or how does it feel like to be happy?’” It remains to be seen whether a game or toy can improve emotional intelligence. But toymakers are doing what they can to help parents in their efforts to raise well-rounded children. 12. How does PleIQ instruct children to learn? A. By playing the role of a companion. B. By giving direct guidance. C. By taking photos with a camera. D. By presenting visual images. 13. What can be inferred about Woobo from paragraph 3? A. It is programmed to replace teachers. B. It may be good company for kids. C. It can get started automatically. D. It is intended to design games. 14. What does Jonathan Erickson think of his toys? A. They are quite easy to operate. B. They can teach children numbers. C. They help kids express themselves well. D. They can show their emotions clearly. 15. What is the best title of the text? A. Toys help to build emotional intelligence. B. Educational toys sell well in the Toy Fair. C. Toymakers are making profits in education. D. Children celebrate the International Toy Fair. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了玩具制造商们正在努力创造一些新的高科技教育产品，用以提高孩子们的情商。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It uses visual reality technology to teach words, numbers and other things.(它使用视觉现实技术来教授单词、数字和其他东西。)”可知，PleIQ是通过呈现视觉图像来指导孩子学习的。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The child can communicate with Woobo and follow some of the instructions Woobo is giving because he thinks of this as a companion instead of a parent or someone else telling him to do certain things.(孩子可以与Woobo交流，并遵循Woobo给出的一些指示，因为他认为这是一个伙伴，而不是父母或其他人告诉他要做某些事情。)”可知，Woobo可以被看作是孩子们的好伙伴。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段Jonathan Erickson说的话“The biggest thing is her talking. And that’s the key of all this — getting her feelings expressed out.(最重要的是她说话。这是这一切的关键——让她的感受表达出来。)”可知，Jonathan Erickson认为他的玩具可以帮助孩子们很好地表达自己。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Children of all ages gathered in New York City recently for the International Toy Fair. Hidden among already popular toys were new, high-tech educational products. Toymakers are working to create these products for improving a child’s emotional intelligence.(最近，各个年龄段的儿童都聚集在纽约市参加国际玩具博览会。在已经流行的玩具中隐藏着新的高科技教育产品。玩具制造商正在努力创造这些产品，以提高孩子的情商。)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要讲述了玩具制造商正在努力创造一些新的高科技教育产品，用以提高孩子们的情商，所以选项A“玩具有助于培养情商。”最适合作为本文标题。故选A。 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。 You have an important exam in a few days and you’re not feeling prepared.

Anabia an 11-year-old girl, was excited because today was the drawing contest at her school. Anabia was really good at drawing and usually got the highest marks in art. Her teachers would often ask her to make posters for school plays and call on her during free periods to help with cuttings, drawing, shading, colouring and much more. There was an art competition taking place in school and Anabia had worked really hard and wanted to win it. But there was one thing that was disturbing her today. Recently, a new girl, Rida, had joined her class. She was also interested in art but she was not as good at drawing as Anabia was. Miss Saima, the art teacher, helped Rida and taught her tips and tricks to improve her drawing skill. And now Rida was also considered among the best artists in grade six. Rida was quick, smart and intelligent. Anabia became jealous of Rida’s intelligence and felt that the new girl would be tough to beat. So that day, for the art competition, Miss Saima took all the students to the art room, told them their roll numbers and gave important instructions. Anabia’s roll number was 16, while Rida was number 17. The bell rang, indicating the beginning of the contest. Miss Saima wrote on the board: make a scene of a sunset with a flowing river and a sailing boat. Anabia knew that the best tools to make a sunset were oil pastels (油画棒). Anabia started to look for her oil pastels in her art bag. Then, after looking through the bag, she remembered that she had left them at home. Immediately, she got up to tell Miss Saima. Miss Saima was disappointed at Anabia’s carelessness and told her that she could not help her, as it was her responsibility to come prepared for the contest that had been announced a week in advance.

Anabia hesitated, but quickly they were both devoted into their works. Time flies in the blink of an eye. After handing in their works, Anabia reach out her hand. Then Rida held Anabia’s hand, and the two girls waited for the winners to be announced. “I’m sorry. I once became jealous of your intelligence, and hoped to beat you” , Anabia apologized, sincerely. Rida hugged her delightedly and said she hoped they would be friends in the future. It seemed that who would be the winner was not so important at the moment.

B In a heart-pounding display of courage and quick thinking, a 65-year-old crane operator became an unexpected hero as he rescued a man trapped on top of a towering building engulfed in flames. Glen Edwards, a crane operator from Egham, was expressing his gratitude after a tense rescue operation in Reading last Thursday. Edwards found himself in a challenging situation as he navigated circling winds to save a man trapped by smoke and flames on a building. The dramatic rescue unfolded amid thick black smoke, making visibility nearly impossible When the alarm sounded, Edwards, who had a concrete skip on his crane, wasted no time the moment he spotted the distressed man waving his coat. Employing his experience and knowledge of the area, Edwards attached a metal cage to the crane, carefully considering his options for the rescue. However, the challenging conditions, with smoke sheltering his view, added an extra layer of difficulty to the operation. With a colleague providing guidance and a concerned crowd watching from below, Edwards skillfully operated the crane to rescue the man. The onlookers erupted in cheers and applause as the man was safely lifted to the ground. Reflecting on the intense experience, Edwards remarked, “It seemed to pass a long time until the man got inside. The adrenaline (肾上腺素) was pumping.” He admitted to experiencing shaking after the rescue, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. Despite the successful operation, Edwards is yet to meet the man he saved, humorously noting, “He’s got to take me across the road for a drink!” The heartwarming part of this story is the overwhelming support Edwards has received from well-wishers. A fund-raising page was set up to “buy Edwards a beer as a sign of gratitude,” initially aiming for £5,000 but now standing at an impressive ₤9,100. The community’s response has left Edwards deeply moved. He stated, “It means a lot; some of the comments have been absolutely fantastic.” 4. What does the underlined word “distressed” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Brave. B. Painful. C. Enthusiastic. D. Disappointed. 5. Which of the following can best describe Edwards? A. Warm and Curious. B. Caring and ambitious. C. Professional and humorous. D. Gifted and generous. 6. What can we conclude from the last paragraph? A. Sharp tools make good work. B. One good turn descries another. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. Hope for the best,but prepare for the worst. 7. What is the text probably taken from? A. A diary entry. B. A medical magazine. C. A news report. D. A first-aid essay. C If you’re aiming to cut back on meat and you want to build muscle strength, you’re not alone. Now, a new study finds that swapping red and processed meat for plant protein a few times a week leads to better health and lowers carbon emission. “We found that there was an increase in life expectancy of approximately nine months linked to 50% reduction of red meat consumption,” says Olivia Auclair. “When it comes to diet changes to improve health and climate, we don’t need to go to major extremes or completely wipe out foods from our diet.” But sudden changes can be jarring. For a long time Kyle Backlund had been in the habit of eating meat at many meals, and when he cut back, he felt a drop in his energy level and experienced some tiredness and weakness. When he realized he needed to increase his protein intake, his wife Stephany Marreel — who does most of the cooking and also eats a plant-based diet — found a solution by adding tofu, vegetables, and grains. Kyle says he is now feeling good on his plant-focused diet. People can get all the protein and nutrients they need from a plant-based diet as long as they do a little planning, says Dr. Christopher Gardner, a food scientist. “If someone is consuming a reasonable variety, meeting protein needs from plant sources is no problem,” Gardner says. There’s an environmental argument for shifting diet as well Gardner says. Livestock (家畜) require lots of land and water. Beef production requires 20 times more land and produces 20 times more greenhouse gas emissions, per gram of protein, compared to beans. If people in the U.S. swapped beef for beans, this one switch alone could get the U.S. about halfway to its greenhouse gas reduction goals. 8. What should you do to improve health and climate according to Olivia Auclair? A. Change your meat-based diet a little. B. Give up red meat in your meals. C. Become a devoted plant-protein lover. D. Take up proper ways of cooking. 9. What does the underlined word “jarring” in the third paragraph probably mean? A. Admirable. B. Upsetting. C. Meaningful. D. Rewarding. 10. How can one meet his protein needs while following a plant-based diet? A. By exercising more. B. By consuming less red meat. C. By eating various foods. D. By having whole grain. 11. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Cattle are the main source of greenhouse gases. B. Americans are reducing greenhouse gas emission. C. Shifting diet can be beneficial to the planet. D. Bean production requires lots of land and water. D Children of all ages gathered in New York City recently for the International Toy Fair. Hidden among already popular toys were new, high-tech educational products. Toymakers are working to create these products for improving a child’s emotional intelligence. Companies showed off their products last week at New York’s Jacob Javitz Convention Center. PleIQ is a set of plastic toy blocks. It uses visual reality technology to teach words, numbers and other things. Edison Duran directs the company that makes PlelQ. She showed people at the toy fair how virtual images appear on the blocks when they are held in front of a tablet camera. On the other side of the center, Karen Hu from another company demonstrated an educational robot called Woobo. The robot comes programmed with educational games and activities. Children use its touch screen face to get them started. Hu described how the robot can help a child who has autism (自闭症). “The child can communicate with Woobo and follow some of the instructions Woobo is giving because he thinks of this as a companion instead of a parent or someone else telling him to do certain things.” At the EQtainment stand, sales director Jonathan Erickson explained the company’s toys. “The purpose of all of our products is to develop emotional and social intelligence.” he said. Erickson showed off a board game called “Q’s Race to the Top. He said the game got his 4-year-old daughter to open up. “The biggest thing is her talking. And that’s the key of all this — getting her feelings expressed out. Like, ‘Hey, what does it feel like to be sad? Or how does it feel like to be happy?’” It remains to be seen whether a game or toy can improve emotional intelligence. But toymakers are doing what they can to help parents in their efforts to raise well-rounded children. 12. How does PleIQ instruct children to learn? A. By playing the role of a companion. B. By giving direct guidance. C. By taking photos with a camera. D. By presenting visual images. 13. What can be inferred about Woobo from paragraph 3? A. It is programmed to replace teachers. B. It may be good company for kids. C. It can get started automatically. D. It is intended to design games. 14. What does Jonathan Erickson think of his toys? A. They are quite easy to operate. B. They can teach children numbers. C. They help kids express themselves well. D. They can show their emotions clearly. 15. What is the best title of the text? A. Toys help to build emotional intelligence. B Educational toys sell well in the Toy Fair. C. Toymakers are making profits in education. D. Children celebrate the International Toy Fair. 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。 You have an important exam in a few days and you’re not feeling prepared.

Anabia, an 11-year-old girl, was excited because today was the drawing contest at her school. Anabia was really good at drawing and usually got the highest marks in art. Her teachers would often ask her to make posters for school plays and call on her during free periods to help with cuttings, drawing, shading, colouring and much more. There was an art competition taking place in school and Anabia had worked really hard and wanted to win it. But there was one thing that was disturbing her today. Recently, a new girl, Rida, had joined her class. She was also interested in art but she was not as good at drawing as Anabia was. Miss Saima, the art teacher, helped Rida and taught her tips and tricks to improve her drawing skill. And now Rida was also considered among the best artists in grade six. Rida was quick, smart and intelligent. Anabia became jealous of Rida’s intelligence and felt that the new girl would be tough to beat. So that day, for the art competition, Miss Saima took all the students to the art room, told them their roll numbers and gave important instructions. Anabia’s roll number was 16, while Rida was number 17. The bell rang, indicating the beginning of the contest. Miss Saima wrote on the board: make a scene of a sunset with a flowing river and a sailing boat. Anabia knew that the best tools to make a sunset were oil pastels (油画棒). Anabia started to look for her oil pastels in her art bag. Then, after looking through the bag, she remembered that she had left them at home. Immediately, she got up to tell Miss Saima. Miss Saima was disappointed at Anabia’s carelessness and told her that she could not help her, as it was her responsibility to come prepared for the contest that had been announced a week in advance. Anabia’s best friends were also there, but none of them offered to share anything, much to Anabia’s surprise and disappointment. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Anabia’ s eyes filled with tears. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then Rida held Anabia’s hand, and the two girls waited for the winners to be announced. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
