For the last two decades, Berry has used the navy blue cloth to create various portraits (肖像), and even photorealistic descriptions of California. And his latest creation continues to reveal the unexpected and innovative ways denim can be used. Titled Secret Garden and recently on display at the Garden Museum in London, this work reimagines a peaceful setting with a fish pond, flowers, and plants — all made from recycled denim jeans. The Secret Garden show was first exhibited at the Children’s Museum of the Arts in New York in 2017 and has since been displayed in various site-specific locations and galleries worldwide. Originally designing it for a young audience, Berry aimed to inspire children to reflect on our interaction with nature. “The idea came from thinking many kids don’t have their own gardens and thinking of community gardens located between buildings and trying to inspire them to seek them out,” Berry says. “It also gave the opportunity to talk about sustainability as well as helping young minds think about where things come from.” The artist even showed the kids a cotton plant to explain where jeans come from. “It was amazing to see so many confused at the idea,” he recalls. “It enabled educators to talk about how in the show plants were turned into pants, then back to plants again.” While the most recent Secret Garden show isn’t specifically designed for children, it still arouses a childlike sense of wonder. Visitors can walk through the denim garden path and find plants hanging above them. Various plants and flowers are depicted in shades of indigo (靛蓝色). There’s even a peaceful pond at the heart of the garden, featuring denim koi fish, and a central water feature. Every area of the garden showcases such an impressive level of details that it’s easy to forget that the entire show is handmade from denim. 4. What did Ian Berry use denim for? A. A kind of cloth for clothing. B. Covers for various portraits. C. Bags for flowers and plants. D. Materials for his works of art. 5. What’s the aim of the Secret Garden show? A. To raise children’s awareness of nature. B. To get children in New York interested in art. C. To tell the great use of denim in daily life. D. To explain how to recycle denim jeans. 6. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Children’s lack of nature knowledge. B. People’s confusion about Berry’s art. C. Motivation of Berry’s artistic creation. D. Process of plant of different periods. 7. What is the characteristic of the show described in the last paragraph? A. Costly. B. Complicated. C. Abstract. D. Lifelike. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了伦敦艺术家Ian Berry使用牛仔布创作的《秘密花园》艺术展览，该展览旨在激发儿童对自然的兴趣并传递可持续发展的理念。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“For the last two decades, Berry has used the navy blue cloth to create various portraits, and even photorealistic descriptions of California. And his latest creation continues to reveal the unexpected and innovative ways denim can be used.(在过去的二十年里，Berry一直用这种深蓝色布料创作各种肖像，甚至是对加利福尼亚州的写实描述。而他最新的创作继续揭示了牛仔布可以被使用的令人意想不到和创新的方式)”可知，Ian Berry用牛仔布作为他艺术创作的材料。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Originally designing it for a young audience, Berry aimed to inspire children to reflect on our interaction with nature.(Berry最初的设计是针对年轻观众的，他的目的是激发孩子们思考我们与自然的互动)”可知，《秘密花园》展览的目的是提高儿童对自然的意识。故选A。 【6题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The idea came from thinking many kids don’t have their own gardens and thinking of community gardens located between buildings and trying to inspire them to seek them out…It also gave the opportunity to talk about sustainability as well as helping young minds think about where things come from.(这个想法来自于想到很多孩子没有自己的花园，想到位于建筑之间的社区花园，并试图激励他们去寻找它们……这也给了人们谈论可持续性的机会，同时帮助年轻人思考事物的来源)”可知，第三段主要讲了Berry艺术创作的动机。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Every area of the garden showcases such an impressive level of details that it’s easy to forget that the entire show is handmade from denim.(花园的每个区域都展示了令人印象深刻的细节水平，以至于人们很容易忘记整个展览都是手工用牛仔布制作的)”可推知，最后一段描述的展览的特点是栩栩如生的。故选D。 C The first thing most of us do when working with people from a new culture is to learn about differences. And there are very sensible reasons to do so. It helps you avoid cultural misunderstandings. But focusing on differences alone can have its downsides. For one thing, there’s a likely chance you’ll be wrong. Focusing on differences can also be quite mentally taxing. So, if you don’t focus on differences, what then can you do to be more effective across cultures? In our experience, an equally reasonable and highly effective alternative technique is to focus on similarities. And this change in perspective can have some pretty powerful effects. If you think about it, this is probably exactly how you establish connections and relationships in your own culture. You don’t approach a person thinking about all the potential ways you could be different; instead, you naturally gravitate to similarities, finding things you might have in common to form the basis of a relationship. Although we tend to approach cross-cultural interactions quite differently, the same technique actually works just as well across cultures. When focused on similarities, you’re open to — and, in fact, looking for — a potential connection. Perhaps it’s a hobby you share in common with a coworker, or maybe both of you at a business meeting abroad have families you’re trying to connect with. By focusing on similarities you have the power to create connections and build relationships that either eliminate cultural differences or make them irrelevant. Another advantage of this approach is that your coworkers are more likely to feel that you see them as an individual. On the other hand, focusing on similarities means you are suited to the particularities of the specific person you are interacting with. This is more likely to result in the other party feeling seen and heard for who they are, and can kick off a positive lift of mutual (相互的) openness and trust. 8. Why do people focus on differences in a multicultural company? A. To emphasize their own culture. B. To reduce unnecessary troubles. C. To take advantage of other culture. D. To make the workplace multicultural. 9. What’s the significance of focusing on similarities in a multicultural company? A The origin of the hobbies. B. The start of work efficiency. C. The foundation of connections. D. The improvement of your family. 10. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Maintain. B. Strengthen. C. Remove. D. Worsen. 11. Which is the advantage of focusing on similarities in the last paragraph? A. Making others feel valued. B. Making yourself centred. C. Indicating your interest. D. Making others adapt to your culture. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在多文化公司中，人们应该更多地关注相似之处而不是差异。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The first thing most of us do when working with people from a new culture is to learn about differences. And there are very sensible reasons to do so. It helps you avoid cultural misunderstandings.(当我们与来自新文化的人合作时，我们大多数人做的第一件事就是了解差异。这样做有一些非常明智的理由。它有助于你避免文化误解。)”可知，在多元文化公司中，人们关注差异是为了减少不必要的麻烦。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“You don’t approach a person thinking about all the potential ways you could be different; instead, you naturally gravitate to similarities, finding things you might have in common to form the basis of a relationship.(当你接近一个人时，你不会思考你们所有可能不同的地方；相反，你会自然地被相似性所吸引，找到你们可能共有的东西，以此作为关系的基础。)”可知，在多元文化公司中关注相似性可以建立联系的基础。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词句上文“You don’t approach a person thinking about all the potential ways you could be different; instead, you naturally gravitate to similarities, finding things you might have in common to form the basis of a relationship.(你不会在接近一个人时就去想你们之间所有可能的不同之处；相反，你会自然而然地被相似之处所吸引，寻找你们可能共有的东西，作为建立关系的基础。)”可知，通过关注相似性，你有能力创造联系并建立关系，从而消除文化差异或使它们变得无关紧要，由此可知，eliminate意为“消除”，与选项C“Remove”意思相近。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Another advantage of this approach is that your coworkers are more likely to feel that you see them as an individual.(这种方法的另一个优点是，你的同事更有可能觉得你把他们当作个体来看待。)”等内容可知，关注相似性的优势是让别人感到被重视。故选A。 D Have you ever wondered what chickens are talking about? Chickens are quite the communicators — their clucks, squawks and purrs are not just random sounds but a complex language system. These sounds are their way of interacting with the world and expressing joy, fear, and social connection to one another. Like humans, the “language” of chickens varies with age, environment, and surprisingly, domestication (驯化), giving us insights into their social structures and behaviours. Understanding these sounds can transform our approach to poultry (家禽) farming, enhancing chicken welfare and quality of life. Our research at Dalhousie University applies artificial intelligence (AI) to decode the language of chickens. It’s a project that is set to revolutionize our understanding of these feathered creatures and their communication methods, offering a window into their world that was previously closed to us. The use of AI and machine learning is like having a universal translator for chicken speech. AI can analyze vast amounts of audio data. Our algorithms (算法) are learning to recognize patterns and tiny differences in chicken sounds. This isn’t a simple task — chickens have a range of sounds that vary in pitch, tone, and context. But by using advanced data analysis techniques, we’re beginning to crack their code. This breakthrough in animal communication is not just a scientific achievement; it’s a step towards more humane and empathetic treatment of farm animals. One of the most exciting aspects of this research is understanding the emotional content behind these sounds. Are they stressed? Are they content? By understanding their emotional state, we can make more informed decisions about their care and environment. This project isn’t just about academic curiosity; it has real-world implications. We’re not only unlocking the secrets of avian (鸟类的) communication but also setting new standards for animal welfare. 12. What can be learned about chickens? A. They lack emotions. B. They behave randomly. C. They are communicative. D. They talk oddly. 13. What benefit will chickens get from the project? A. Better care. B. Faster growth rates. C. Better food quality. D. Enhanced social skills. 14. What is a highlight of the research? A. Revealing chickens’ behaviours. B. Understanding chickens’ emotions. C. Analyzing chickens’ living environment. D. Discovering advanced feeding methods. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Enhancing animal welfare by AI. B. The secret of chickens’ life. C. Unlocking chickens’ language by AI. D. The future of poultry farming. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了达尔豪西大学的研究人员利用人工智能解码鸡的语言，这一突破不仅是一项科学成就，更是朝着更人道、更有同理心地对待农场动物迈出的一步。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Chickens are quite the communicators — their clucks, squawks and purrs are not just random sounds but a complex language system.(鸡是非常善于交流的动物——它们的咯咯声、尖叫声和咕噜声不仅仅是随机的声音，而是一个复杂的语言系统。)”可知，鸡是非常善于交流的。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Understanding these sounds can transform our approach to poultry (家禽) farming, enhancing chicken welfare and quality of life.(理解这些声音能够改变我们的家禽饲养方式，从而提升鸡的福利和生活质量。)”和第三段“This breakthrough in animal communication is not just a scientific achievement; it’s a step towards more humane and empathetic treatment of farm animals.(这一在动物交流方面的突破不仅仅是一项科学成就；它是朝着更人道、更有同理心地对待农场动物迈出的一步。)”可推知，鸡从这个项目中能得到更好的照顾。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“One of the most exciting aspects of this research is understanding the emotional content behind these sounds.(这项研究最令人兴奋的方面之一是理解这些声音背后的情感内容。)”可知，这项研究的亮点是理解鸡的情感。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段提到“Our research at Dalhousie University applies artificial intelligence (AI) to decode the language of chickens. It’s a project that is set to revolutionize our understanding of these feathered creatures and their communication methods, offering a window into their world that was previously closed to us.(我们在达尔豪西大学的研究利用人工智能解码鸡的语言。这个项目将彻底改变我们对这些有羽毛的生物及其交流方式的理解，为我们打开了一扇通往它们世界的窗户，而这扇窗户以前对我们来说是关闭的。)”可知，本文主要讲的是达尔豪西大学的研究人员利用人工智能解码鸡的语言。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 How to Be a Good Passenger With masses of cars on the road it is time to consider the traffic safety as a car passenger.

Her husband died in a car accident two years ago. The accident left Nora with a disability, and her leg now aches with a constant reminder of the pain that day brought. One summer, as the sky turned dark, a violent storm hit the town. The rain was so heavy that the rainwater could not flow away in a short period of time. The rainwater was about to flow into Nora’s home. Because of the disability, she was unable to evacuate (转移) her children to safety, and panic began to set in. In desperation, she cried out for help. Nora’s neighbor, William, a young man known for his kindness and strength, heard Nora’s cry. He rushed out into the storm. The rain stung (刺) his face like a thousand needles, and the wind knocked him off his feet. A mix of fear and determination pushed him forward. William reached Nora’s house. He found Nora stayed at the corner with the children, and their eyes were filled with fear. With a comforting smile, William picked up the children one by one and guided Nora, who leaned heavily on him for support. The journey to his home was dangerous, as the storm grew stronger. But William’s resolve was unwavering, and he managed to get them all to safety. After they became safe, William wasted no time in calling upon the other neighbors. Together, they brought abandoned door panels, filled bags with dirt and piled the bags up behind the panels. They built a temporary wall in front of Nora’s house. The wall prevented the rainwater from flowing into Nora’s house. The crisis was finally resolved. The next day, the storm stopped, but the town was in a mess. The streets were littered with fallen trees and thick mud. William led the charge in the cleanup efforts. He and his neighbors worked tirelessly. It wasn’t long before they were sweating heavily in the summer sun. 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。 Nora was grateful for the help she had received and wanted to make her contribution. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The neighbors stopped to drink the lemonade the children served. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Nora was grateful for the help she had received and wanted to make her contribution. She decided to make lemonade, a refreshing drink to stop the thirst of those who were working hard outside. She asked the oldest child to go to the supermarket to buy lemons, sugar and paper cups. The children volunteered to help Nora when they found what their mother was going to do. Nora made lemonade and poured it into paper cups and the children served drinks to the neighbors who were sweeping the streets. The neighbors stopped to drink the lemonade the children served. They instantly felt much cooler, and the tiredness was disappearing. William called the children over and asked who made the lemonade. After knowing that it was Nora who made the lemonade, William was very touched. William asked the children to show his appreciation to Nora. But the oldest child said, “It was you and the neighbors who helped us weather the storm. We would like to thank you.” The truth was that when we are in trouble, kindness and unity shine brightly, creating an atmosphere of support and gratitude around us. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了诺拉和她的孩子们住在埃姆斯沃思的一个低洼地区。此前在车祸中，她失去了丈夫，自己落下残疾。一年夏天暴雨造成洪水流进她的家，她无法疏散孩子们，急忙呼救。这时邻居威廉，一个以善良和坚强著称的年轻人，紧急施救，救出诺拉一家人，并号召其他邻居共同努力阻挡洪水以免冲垮诺拉的家园。之后，他们团结奋斗，共同清除洪水造成的混乱。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“诺拉很感激她所得到的帮助，并想做出自己的贡献。”并结合第二段首句内容可知，第一段可描写诺拉对大家做出回报，为邻居准备饮料。 ②由第二段首句内容“邻居们停下来喝孩子们端上来的柠檬水。”可知，第二段可描写大家互相感谢，团结奋斗，共同清除洪水造成的混乱。 2.续写线索：感激——制作柠檬水——给邻居们喝——互相感谢——共同奋斗——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.决定做某事：decide to do sth/determine to do sth ②要求某人干某事：ask sb to do something /require sb to do something ③.帮助：help/assist 情绪类 ①.感动：touched/moved ②.感谢：show his appreciation/show his gratitude/be grateful 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

This reservoir is not only an important source of water supply but also a tourist destination offering a variety of outdoor activities and nature experiences. There are four main car parks available for visitors, each with its own activities and facilities. In addition, Rutland Water offers year-round walking trails. History The construction of Rutland Water began in the 1970s, originally named Empingham Reservoir, and was completed in 1976. It covers 3,100 acres, with the deepest point reaching 34 meters and a length of 1,200 meters.

For the last two decades, Berry has used the navy blue cloth to create various portraits (肖像), and even photorealistic descriptions of California. And his latest creation continues to reveal the unexpected and innovative ways denim can be used. Titled Secret Garden and recently on display at the Garden Museum in London, this work reimagines a peaceful setting with a fish pond, flowers, and plants — all made from recycled denim jeans. The Secret Garden show was first exhibited at the Children’s Museum of the Arts in New York in 2017 and has since been displayed in various site-specific locations and galleries worldwide. Originally designing it for a young audience, Berry aimed to inspire children to reflect on our interaction with nature. “The idea came from thinking many kids don’t have their own gardens and thinking of community gardens located between buildings and trying to inspire them to seek them out,” Berry says. “It also gave the opportunity to talk about sustainability as well as helping young minds think about where things come from.” The artist even showed the kids a cotton plant to explain where jeans come from. “It was amazing to see so many confused at the idea,” he recalls. “It enabled educators to talk about how in the show plants were turned into pants, then back to plants again.” While the most recent Secret Garden show isn’t specifically designed for children, it still arouses a childlike sense of wonder. Visitors can walk through the denim garden path and find plants hanging above them. Various plants and flowers are depicted in shades of indigo (靛蓝色). There’s even a peaceful pond at the heart of the garden, featuring denim koi fish, and a central water feature. Every area of the garden showcases such an impressive level of details that it’s easy to forget that the entire show is handmade from denim. 4. What did Ian Berry use denim for? A. A kind of cloth for clothing. B. Covers for various portraits. C. Bags for flowers and plants. D. Materials for his works of art. 5. What’s the aim of the Secret Garden show? A. To raise children’s awareness of nature. B. To get children in New York interested in art. C. To tell the great use of denim in daily life. D. To explain how to recycle denim jeans. 6. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Children’s lack of nature knowledge. B. People’s confusion about Berry’s art. C. Motivation of Berry’s artistic creation. D. Process of plant of different periods. 7. What is the characteristic of the show described in the last paragraph? A. Costly. B. Complicated. C. Abstract. D. Lifelike. C The first thing most of us do when working with people from a new culture is to learn about differences. And there are very sensible reasons to do so. It helps you avoid cultural misunderstandings. But focusing on differences alone can have its downsides. For one thing, there’s a likely chance you’ll be wrong. Focusing on differences can also be quite mentally taxing. So, if you don’t focus on differences, what then can you do to be more effective across cultures? In our experience, an equally reasonable and highly effective alternative technique is to focus on similarities. And this change in perspective can have some pretty powerful effects. If you think about it, this is probably exactly how you establish connections and relationships in your own culture. You don’t approach a person thinking about all the potential ways you could be different; instead, you naturally gravitate to similarities, finding things you might have in common to form the basis of a relationship. Although we tend to approach cross-cultural interactions quite differently, the same technique actually works just as well across cultures. When focused on similarities, you’re open to — and, in fact, looking for — a potential connection. Perhaps it’s a hobby you share in common with a coworker, or maybe both of you at a business meeting abroad have families you’re trying to connect with. By focusing on similarities you have the power to create connections and build relationships that either eliminate cultural differences or make them irrelevant. Another advantage of this approach is that your coworkers are more likely to feel that you see them as an individual. On the other hand, focusing on similarities means you are suited to the particularities of the specific person you are interacting with. This is more likely to result in the other party feeling seen and heard for who they are, and can kick off a positive lift of mutual (相互的) openness and trust. 8. Why do people focus on differences in a multicultural company? A. To emphasize their own culture. B. To reduce unnecessary troubles. C. To take advantage of other culture. D. To make the workplace multicultural. 9. What’s the significance of focusing on similarities in a multicultural company? A The origin of the hobbies. B. The start of work efficiency. C. The foundation of connections. D. The improvement of your family. 10. What does the underlined word “eliminate” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Maintain. B. Strengthen. C. Remove. D. Worsen. 11. Which is the advantage of focusing on similarities in the last paragraph? A. Making others feel valued. B. Making yourself centred. C. Indicating your interest. D. Making others adapt to your culture. D Have you ever wondered what chickens are talking about? Chickens are quite the communicators — their clucks, squawks and purrs are not just random sounds but a complex language system. These sounds are their way of interacting with the world and expressing joy, fear, and social connection to one another. Like humans, the “language” of chickens varies with age, environment, and surprisingly, domestication (驯化), giving us insights into their social structures and behaviours. Understanding these sounds can transform our approach to poultry (家禽) farming, enhancing chicken welfare and quality of life. Our research at Dalhousie University applies artificial intelligence (AI) to decode the language of chickens. It’s a project that is set to revolutionize our understanding of these feathered creatures and their communication methods, offering a window into their world that was previously closed to us. The use of AI and machine learning is like having a universal translator for chicken speech. AI can analyze vast amounts of audio data. Our algorithms (算法) are learning to recognize patterns and tiny differences in chicken sounds. This isn’t a simple task — chickens have a range of sounds that vary in pitch, tone, and context. But by using advanced data analysis techniques, we’re beginning to crack their code. This breakthrough in animal communication is not just a scientific achievement; it’s a step towards more humane and empathetic treatment of farm animals. One of the most exciting aspects of this research is understanding the emotional content behind these sounds. Are they stressed? Are they content? By understanding their emotional state, we can make more informed decisions about their care and environment. This project isn’t just about academic curiosity; it has real-world implications. We’re not only unlocking the secrets of avian (鸟类的) communication but also setting new standards for animal welfare. 12. What can be learned about chickens? A. They lack emotions. B. They behave randomly. C. They are communicative. D. They talk oddly. 13. What benefit will chickens get from the project? A. Better care. B. Faster growth rates. C. Better food quality. D. Enhanced social skills. 14. What is a highlight of the research? A. Revealing chickens’ behaviours. B. Understanding chickens’ emotions. C. Analyzing chickens’ living environment. D. Discovering advanced feeding methods. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Enhancing animal welfare by AI. B. The secret of chickens’ life. C Unlocking chickens’ language by AI. D. The future of poultry farming. 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 How to Be a Good Passenger With masses of cars on the road, it is time to consider the traffic safety as a car passenger.

Her husband died in a car accident two years ago. The accident left Nora with a disability, and her leg now aches with a constant reminder of the pain that day brought. One summer, as the sky turned dark, a violent storm hit the town. The rain was so heavy that the rainwater could not flow away in a short period of time. The rainwater was about to flow into Nora’s home. Because of the disability, she was unable to evacuate (转移) her children to safety, and panic began to set in. In desperation, she cried out for help. Nora’s neighbor, William, a young man known for his kindness and strength, heard Nora’s cry. He rushed out into the storm. The rain stung (刺) his face like a thousand needles, and the wind knocked him off his feet. A mix of fear and determination pushed him forward. William reached Nora’s house. He found Nora stayed at the corner with the children, and their eyes were filled with fear. With a comforting smile, William picked up the children one by one and guided Nora, who leaned heavily on him for support. The journey to his home was dangerous, as the storm grew stronger. But William’s resolve was unwavering, and he managed to get them all to safety. After they became safe, William wasted no time in calling upon the other neighbors. Together, they brought abandoned door panels, filled bags with dirt and piled the bags up behind the panels. They built a temporary wall in front of Nora’s house. The wall prevented the rainwater from flowing into Nora’s house. The crisis was finally resolved. The next day, the storm stopped, but the town was in a mess. The streets were littered with fallen trees and thick mud. William led the charge in the cleanup efforts. He and his neighbors worked tirelessly. It wasn’t long before they were sweating heavily in the summer sun. 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。 Nora was grateful for the help she had received and wanted to make her contribution. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The neighbors stopped to drink the lemonade the children served. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1—5 BBCCA 6—10 ACCBA 11—15 CACBB 16—20 BCBAA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
