As a second-grader in a primary school, I began my journey with table tennis on such a table. Later, I became a player and then a coach of a national team, watching generations of players contribute to the success of table tennis. Recently, at the age of 84, I received a national honorary title. I said, “Choosing to play table tennis is a decision I totally do not regret.” During times when we didn’t have much, I even made my own bat (球拍). I would buy old photo frames made of plywood (胶合板) from stores, and then turn them into bases of bats, I would then attach rubber (橡胶) to make a simple bat. I recalled, “The ‘clang’ sound of hitting the ball with such a bat was very satisfying. I formed a team called Red Flag at school. During holidays, we played friendly matches with ping-pong fans from nearby factories and schools. I often visited different places, where I could watch high-level players and learn from them. In a competition held in 1961, I won third place in the men’s table tennis singles event. I also won the first-ever men’s doubles and mixed doubles championships for our team. In 1975, I became the head coach of the women’s table tennis team in my country. Under my guidance, the team always won the women’s singles title in competitions. One of the outstanding athletes I discovered and trained became an extremely good table tennis player. Though she was short, she could see every ball coming her way as an opportunity. This allowed her to launch (发起) more attacks than others. Moreover, she had a strong desire to win and trained very hard. 24. What inspired the author to begin playing table tennis? A. His love for making rubber bats. B. International competitions on TV C. Encouragement from his school coach and friends. D. The sights of students playing on chalk-drawn tables. 25. What challenge did the author face when playing table tennis in his early days? A. Poor lighting conditions. B. Limited access to equipment. C. Difficulty of finding partners. D. Long distance between his home and tables. 26. What do we know about the author according to the last three paragraphs? A. He introduced table tennis as an Olympic sport. B. He won his best honour in his seventies. C. He trained the women’s team for his country. D. He led the men’s team to get many world titles. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. The Art of Making a Bat. B. My Journey with Table Tennis C. The Comment on a Table Tennis Champion D. My Process of Shaping the Future of Table Tennis 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者从小开始接触乒乓球，并最终成为国家女子乒乓球队主教练的经历。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In the late 1940s, it was common to see young students practicing table tennis on a chalk-drawn table on the sidewalk at night. As a second-grader in a primary school, I began my journey with table tennis on such a table.(在20世纪40年代末，经常看到年轻的学生晚上在人行道上的粉笔画的桌子上练习乒乓球。在小学二年级的时候，我就在这样一张桌子上开始了我的乒乓球之旅)”可知，作者开始打乒乓球是因为看到学生们在自己画的乒乓球桌上练习。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“During times when we didn’t have much, I even made my own bat (球拍).(在我们没有多少钱的时候，我甚至自己做了球拍)”可知，作者在早期打乒乓球时面临的挑战是设备有限。故选B。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“In 1975, I became the head coach of the women’s table tennis team in my country. Under my guidance, the team always won the women’s singles title in competitions.(1975年，我成为我国女子乒乓球队的主教练。在我的指导下，球队在比赛中总是获得女单冠军)”可知，作者为自己的国家训练女队。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In the late 1940s, it was common to see young students practicing table tennis on a chalk- drawn table on the sidewalk at night. As a second-grader in a primary school, I began my journey with table tennis on such a table. Later, I became a player and then a coach of a national team, watching generations of players contribute to the success of table tennis.(在20世纪40年代末，经常看到年轻的学生晚上在人行道上的粉笔画的桌子上练习乒乓球。在小学二年级的时候，我就在这样一张桌子上开始了我的乒乓球之旅。后来，我成为了一名运动员，然后是国家队的教练，看着一代又一代的运动员为乒乓球的成功做出贡献)”结合文章主要讲述了作者从小开始接触乒乓球，并最终成为国家女子乒乓球队主教练的经历。可知，B选项“我的乒乓球之旅”最符合文章标题。故选B。 C Koalas are known for their furry ears, round faces, and big black noses. They spend most of their time sleeping in the treetops of eucalyptus (桉树) forests. Because they love staying high up and moving very little, it is hard to find these cute Australian animals. But a new method might make it easier. In areas where koalas, kangaroos, and other animals live, scientists are using a new way to find them. They capture DNA floating in the air using filters (过滤器) made of cheesecloth, a type of cloth often found in kitchens. These filters are placed between two metal plates. The scientists tested this method at 26 sites in four nature reserves in Queensland, Australia. At each site, they placed two filters - one about 1.5 meters above the ground with a fan to draw in air, and the other closer to the ground. After a few days, the researchers collected the filters and studied the material caught in them. They were happy to find koalas’ DNA as well as DNA from eleven other species that live in the area. Koala populations have dropped a lot in recent years because of wildfires and diseases. In 2022, the Australian government said that koalas are endangered in some parts of the country. To help protect them, scientists have used advanced tools like thermal imaging drones (无人驾驶飞机) and sound recorders to find koalas. The new method is cheaper and easier to use. “Some of the work in this study is really an important step,” said an ecologist. The experiment was done in an uncontrolled environment, where things like strong winds or rain could affect the results. “The fact that they were still able to have some success is really encouraging,” he said. 28. What does the underlined word “capture” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Measure. B. Create. C. Limit. D. Catch. 29. What is a major reason for the application of the new method? A. Koalas are in danger of dying out in America. B. Falls in the numbers of koalas worries authorities. C. There are few professionals to operate the device. D. Some advanced equipment is too expensive to use. 30. Which of the following describes the ecologist’s attitude to the study? A. Supportive. B. Uncertain. C. Doubtful. D. Disappointed. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To request the government to make a difference. B. To stress the influence of environmental problems. C. To introduce a new technique in protecting koalas. D. To make koalas’ living conditions known to more people. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种在保护考拉方面使用的新技术，科学家们利用这种新技术来寻找考拉等动物，以帮助保护它们。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据上文“In areas where koalas, kangaroos, and other animals live, scientists are using a new way to find them. (在考拉、袋鼠和其他动物生活的地区，科学家们正在使用一种新方法来寻找它们。)”可知，科学家们用过滤器来“捕捉”或收集空气中漂浮的DNA，由此可知，capture意为“捕捉”。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Koala populations have dropped a lot in recent years because of wildfires and diseases. In 2022, the Australian government said that koalas are endangered in some parts of the country. To help protect them, scientists have used advanced tools like thermal imaging drones (无人驾驶飞机) and sound recorders to find koalas. The new method is cheaper and easier to use.(近年来，由于野火和疾病，考拉的数量大幅下降。2022年，澳大利亚政府表示，考拉在该国一些地区已濒临灭绝。为了保护它们，科学家们使用了热成像无人机和录音机等先进工具来寻找考拉。这种新方法更便宜，更容易使用。)”可知，考拉的数量下降让当局感到担忧，所以科学家们采用了新的方法来寻找和保护考拉。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘Some of the work in this study is really an important step,’ said an ecologist. The experiment was done in an uncontrolled environment, where things like strong winds or rain could affect the results. ‘The fact that they were still able to have some success is really encouraging,’ he said. (一位生态学家说：‘这项研究中的一些工作真的是一个重要步骤。’这个实验是在一个不受控制的环境中进行的，强风或降雨等因素可能会影响结果。‘他们仍然能够取得一些成功，这一事实确实令人鼓舞，’他说。)”可知，生态学家认为这项研究中的一些工作是一个重要的步骤，并且尽管实验环境不受控制，但取得了一些成功，这是令人鼓舞的，由此可知，生态学家对这项研究持支持态度。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了一种在保护考拉方面使用的新技术，科学家们利用这种新技术来寻找考拉等动物，以帮助保护它们，由此可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍一种保护考拉的新技术。故选C。 D When you listen to people speaking a language you don’t understand, it might seem like the words are flying past your ears at lightning speed. But some languages really do seem to be spoken faster than others. Even if you know a little Spanish or Japanese, watching a TV show in those languages can be difficult! There’s a good reason for this — they are spoken faster! According to a 2019 study, speakers of these languages use more syllables (音节) per second. In these two languages, speakers use almost eight syllables per second. Researchers studied 17 different languages. They took 170 recordings of native speakers reading the same 20 texts translated into their language and compared the speeds. For example, Mandarin (普通话) was spoken at just over five syllables per second. But this doesn’t mean that conversations in Mandarin last much longer than those in Japanese. Researchers found that while languages are spoken at different speeds, the rate at which people communicate information is about the same. So how does that work? To understand more, the researchers looked at each syllable in the texts to see how much information each one carries. Some single syllable words give us a lot of information; for example, the words “hope” or “love” in English. These words give us much more information than many single syllables that are just sounds or parts of words. Some languages are packed more densely (稠密地) with information, so speakers don’t need many syllables to communicate the same amount of information. The average Spanish syllable is not densely packed with information, so people speak faster. Mandarin, however, is densely packed with information, so it is spoken more slowly. This means that everyone finishes communicating at about the same time! 32. Why are Spanish and Japanese mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To stress they are popular with TV. B. To explain how they are developed. C. To prove why they are hard to learn. D. To state some languages are spoken quickly. 33. Which part is focused on in the study? A. People’s identities. B. Language speeds. C. Content of the text. D. Conversation time. 34. How did the researchers study the information rate in languages? A. By analyzing information on each syllable. B. By comparing sentence lengths. C. By measuring speaking speed. D. By counting words. 35. What do researchers find in the end? A Mandarin uses more syllables than Japanese. B. People need less time to understand Spanish. C. More syllable words mean more information. D. People speaking different languages communicate information at similar rates. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了不同语言的语速差异以及信息传递速率的研究。尽管有些语言语速较快，但研究发现，不同语言传递信息的速率大致相同，这取决于每个音节所携带的信息量。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“But some languages really do seem to be spoken faster than others. Even if you know a little Spanish or Japanese, watching a TV show in those languages can be difficult! There’s a good reason for this — they are spoken faster!(但有些语言确实似乎说得比其他语言快。即使你懂一点西班牙语或日语，看那些语言的电视节目也会很困难！这是有原因的——它们说得更快！)”可知，第二段提到西班牙语和日语是为了说明有些语言说得很快。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They took 170 recordings of native speakers reading the same 20 texts translated into their language and compared the speeds.(他们录制了170段以母语为母语的人阅读同一20篇翻译成他们语言的文本，并比较了语速。)”可知，研究的重点是语言速度。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“To understand more, the researchers looked at each syllable in the texts to see how much information each one carries.(为了更深入地了解，研究人员查看了文本中的每个音节，以查看每个音节携带了多少信息。)”可知，研究人员是通过分析每个音节的信息来研究语言中的信息率的。故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Researchers found that while languages are spoken at different speeds, the rate at which people communicate information is about the same.(研究人员发现，虽然语言的语速不同，但人们传递信息的速率大致相同。)”可知，研究人员最终发现说不同语言的人以相似的速率传递信息。故选D。 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。 The Internet is a useful tool that has become an important part of our daily lives.

But since May transferred from another school, the atmosphere had become a bit strange. Everyone thought her attitude was a bit tough. May was about five feet eight inches tall, making her the tallest kid in our fifth-grade class and, in fact, the whole school. She challenged the shy third graders and her competitive (好胜的) spirit in gym class put pressure on the boys. To avoid unnecessary trouble, I always kept a certain distance from her. I hoped it could stay that way. But everything changed one morning when I came to class with a new hairstyle. It all started when my best friend Jamie said my hair looked nice. I felt happy. However, I noticed May’s serious look, which made me a bit nervous, but I continued focusing on my math work. Then, as May walked past me, she commented, “Nice braid (辫子).” I felt a bit surprised. I looked at her, then felt worried because I saw May make a scissors-like motion (动作) with her fingers towards me. I got nervous and misunderstood, thinking that she wanted to cut off my braid. After thinking, I decided to hide in the restroom after school to avoid meeting May on the way home. I did this for a few days, feeling anxious. One morning, my mom noticed my change. She could see the stress in my eyes and the way I hesitated (犹豫) before leaving for school. She knew something was bothering me. So she asked what had happened. I told her, “May wants to cut off my braid.” Tears started rolling down my cheeks. Mom held my hand and said, “Don’t be afraid, honey. You might have misunderstood May. She might just want to make friends with you but doesn’t know how to express it. 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。 After hearing my mom’s words, I fell into deep thought. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When May came to my house on Saturday, we greeted each other warmly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After hearing my mom’s words, I fell into deep thought. Did she really just want to make friends with me? I wasn’t sure, but I was willing to find out. I decided to talk to May. So I found her at break. I took my courage in both hands and said, “Hi, May. I wanted to invite you to my house this weekend,” my voice trembling slightly. Then, something unexpected happened. May smiled. Her smile was warm and sincere. “I’d love to come,” she replied. I felt a wave of relief wash over me. When May came to my house on Saturday, we greeted each other warmly. We spent the day talking and laughing. She talked a lot, and at that moment, I realized she was just a girl who wanted to be accepted. She told me about her love for basketball. I shared my interests in reading and drawing. We discovered we had a lot in common. From then on, we became good friends. I never thought it was my braid that helped us build a new friendship. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者与转学生May之间的故事。起初，作者对May保持一定距离，因为May的态度被认为有点强硬，且她在体育课上展现出的好胜精神给男生们带来了压力。然而，一天早上，当作者换了新发型后，May对作者的发型发表了评论，并做了一个剪刀状的手势，这让作者误以为May想要剪掉她的辫子，因此作者开始避免与May接触，甚至放学后躲在洗手间里以避免在回家的路上遇到她。作者的妈妈注意到了作者的变化，询问后得知了原因，并安慰作者可能误解了May，May可能只是想和她交朋友但不知道如何表达。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“听了妈妈的话，我陷入了沉思。”并结合第二段首句可知，第一段可描写作者邀请May周末回家并得到了May肯定的答复。 ②由第二段首句内容“周六May来我家时，我们热情地互相问候。”可知，第二段可描写作者和May聊天的内容以及经过聊天之后作者和May成为了好朋友。 2.续写线索：决定找May聊聊——邀请May回家——May真诚答应——感到如释重负——聊天——成为朋友 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决定做某事：decide to do/make up one’s mind to do ②发生：happen/take place ③意识到：realize/be aware of ④帮助：help/assist 情绪类 ①颤抖的：trembling/shaky ②宽慰：relief/comfort 【点睛】[高分句型1] She talked a lot, and at that moment, I realized she was just a girl who wanted to be accepted.（运用了省略了that的宾语从句，who引导定语从句） [高分句型2] I never thought it was my braid that helped us build a new friendship.（运用了强调句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 十堰市2024—2025学年度上学期期末调研考试 高一英语 本试题卷共12页，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 ★祝考试顺利★ 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

As a second-grader in a primary school, I began my journey with table tennis on such a table. Later, I became a player and then a coach of a national team, watching generations of players contribute to the success of table tennis. Recently, at the age of 84, I received a national honorary title. I said, “Choosing to play table tennis is a decision I totally do not regret.” During times when we didn’t have much, I even made my own bat (球拍). I would buy old photo frames made of plywood (胶合板) from stores, and then turn them into bases of bats, I would then attach rubber (橡胶) to make a simple bat. I recalled, “The ‘clang’ sound of hitting the ball with such a bat was very satisfying. I formed a team called Red Flag at school. During holidays, we played friendly matches with ping-pong fans from nearby factories and schools. I often visited different places, where I could watch high-level players and learn from them. In a competition held in 1961, I won third place in the men’s table tennis singles event. I also won the first-ever men’s doubles and mixed doubles championships for our team. In 1975, I became the head coach of the women’s table tennis team in my country. Under my guidance, the team always won the women’s singles title in competitions. One of the outstanding athletes I discovered and trained became an extremely good table tennis player. Though she was short, she could see every ball coming her way as an opportunity. This allowed her to launch (发起) more attacks than others. Moreover, she had a strong desire to win and trained very hard. 24. What inspired the author to begin playing table tennis? A. His love for making rubber bats. B. International competitions on TV C. Encouragement from his school coach and friends. D. The sights of students playing on chalk-drawn tables. 25. What challenge did the author face when playing table tennis in his early days? A. Poor lighting conditions. B. Limited access to equipment. C. Difficulty of finding partners. D. Long distance between his home and tables. 26. What do we know about the author according to the last three paragraphs? A. He introduced table tennis as an Olympic sport. B. He won his best honour in his seventies. C. He trained the women’s team for his country. D. He led the men’s team to get many world titles. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. The Art of Making a Bat. B. My Journey with Table Tennis C. The Comment on a Table Tennis Champion D. My Process of Shaping the Future of Table Tennis C Koalas are known for their furry ears, round faces, and big black noses. They spend most of their time sleeping in the treetops of eucalyptus (桉树) forests. Because they love staying high up and moving very little, it is hard to find these cute Australian animals. But a new method might make it easier. In areas where koalas, kangaroos, and other animals live, scientists are using a new way to find them. They capture DNA floating in the air using filters (过滤器) made of cheesecloth, a type of cloth often found in kitchens. These filters are placed between two metal plates. The scientists tested this method at 26 sites in four nature reserves in Queensland, Australia. At each site, they placed two filters - one about 1.5 meters above the ground with a fan to draw in air, and the other closer to the ground. After a few days, the researchers collected the filters and studied the material caught in them. They were happy to find koalas’ DNA as well as DNA from eleven other species that live in the area. Koala populations have dropped a lot in recent years because of wildfires and diseases. In 2022, the Australian government said that koalas are endangered in some parts of the country. To help protect them, scientists have used advanced tools like thermal imaging drones (无人驾驶飞机) and sound recorders to find koalas. The new method is cheaper and easier to use. “Some of the work in this study is really an important step,” said an ecologist. The experiment was done in an uncontrolled environment, where things like strong winds or rain could affect the results. “The fact that they were still able to have some success is really encouraging,” he said. 28. What does the underlined word “capture” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Measure. B. Create. C. Limit. D. Catch. 29. What is a major reason for the application of the new method? A. Koalas are in danger of dying out in America. B. Falls in the numbers of koalas worries authorities. C. There are few professionals to operate the device. D. Some advanced equipment is too expensive to use. 30 Which of the following describes the ecologist’s attitude to the study? A. Supportive. B. Uncertain. C. Doubtful. D. Disappointed. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A To request the government to make a difference. B. To stress the influence of environmental problems. C. To introduce a new technique in protecting koalas. D. To make koalas’ living conditions known to more people. D When you listen to people speaking a language you don’t understand, it might seem like the words are flying past your ears at lightning speed. But some languages really do seem to be spoken faster than others. Even if you know a little Spanish or Japanese, watching a TV show in those languages can be difficult! There’s a good reason for this — they are spoken faster! According to a 2019 study, speakers of these languages use more syllables (音节) per second. In these two languages, speakers use almost eight syllables per second. Researchers studied 17 different languages. They took 170 recordings of native speakers reading the same 20 texts translated into their language and compared the speeds. For example, Mandarin (普通话) was spoken at just over five syllables per second. But this doesn’t mean that conversations in Mandarin last much longer than those in Japanese. Researchers found that while languages are spoken at different speeds, the rate at which people communicate information is about the same. So how does that work? To understand more, the researchers looked at each syllable in the texts to see how much information each one carries. Some single syllable words give us a lot of information; for example, the words “hope” or “love” in English. These words give us much more information than many single syllables that are just sounds or parts of words. Some languages are packed more densely (稠密地) with information, so speakers don’t need many syllables to communicate the same amount of information. The average Spanish syllable is not densely packed with information, so people speak faster. Mandarin, however, is densely packed with information, so it is spoken more slowly. This means that everyone finishes communicating at about the same time! 32. Why are Spanish and Japanese mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To stress they are popular with TV. B. To explain how they are developed. C. To prove why they are hard to learn. D. To state some languages are spoken quickly. 33. Which part is focused on in the study? A. People’s identities. B. Language speeds. C. Content of the text. D. Conversation time. 34. How did the researchers study the information rate in languages? A. By analyzing information on each syllable. B. By comparing sentence lengths. C. By measuring speaking speed. D. By counting words. 35. What do researchers find in the end? A Mandarin uses more syllables than Japanese. B People need less time to understand Spanish. C. More syllable words mean more information. D. People speaking different languages communicate information at similar rates. 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。 The Internet is a useful tool that has become an important part of our daily lives.

But since May transferred from another school, the atmosphere had become a bit strange. Everyone thought her attitude was a bit tough. May was about five feet eight inches tall, making her the tallest kid in our fifth-grade class and, in fact, the whole school. She challenged the shy third graders and her competitive (好胜的) spirit in gym class put pressure on the boys. To avoid unnecessary trouble, I always kept a certain distance from her. I hoped it could stay that way. But everything changed one morning when I came to class with a new hairstyle. It all started when my best friend Jamie said my hair looked nice. I felt happy. However, I noticed May’s serious look, which made me a bit nervous, but I continued focusing on my math work. Then, as May walked past me, she commented, “Nice braid (辫子).” I felt a bit surprised. I looked at her, then felt worried because I saw May make a scissors-like motion (动作) with her fingers towards me. I got nervous and misunderstood, thinking that she wanted to cut off my braid. After thinking, I decided to hide in the restroom after school to avoid meeting May on the way home. I did this for a few days, feeling anxious. One morning, my mom noticed my change. She could see the stress in my eyes and the way I hesitated (犹豫) before leaving for school. She knew something was bothering me. So she asked what had happened. I told her, “May wants to cut off my braid.” Tears started rolling down my cheeks. Mom held my hand and said, “Don’t be afraid, honey. You might have misunderstood May. She might just want to make friends with you but doesn’t know how to express it. 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。 After hearing my mom’s words, I fell into deep thought. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When May came to my house on Saturday, we greeted each other warmly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
