Seeing their parents refuse to fork out the money, the three brothers — Collin, 13 years old, Ryan, 11 years old, and Austin, 8 years old — came up with a solution. They taught themselves how to make candles, learning tips from YouTube videos, and a business was born. Almost two years later, the boys’ candle-making shop called “Freres Branchiaux” which means “Gill Brothers” in French has developed beyond anything they expected. With 36 stores selling their products, Freres Branchiaux sells about 400 candles a month. The boys have cash for all the Nerf guns and video games they ever desired. But instead of spending much on toys, most of the money goes back into the business, and 10 percent of their profits are donated to Washington-area homeless shelters every month. Collin said it makes him feel like the business has a purpose beyond business. “The community helped us, so we have to help back,” the brothers said. As soon as the brothers find the funds and space, they hope to open a shop and hire homeless people as employees. The candles, which come in 23 scents, such as Lavender Crush, Lime Cotton and Whiskey Sweet, are the boys’ most popular products. They also offer other things like soap and bath salts. Each product is made by one of the brothers. As the oldest, Collin drives most of the production, making between 50 and 60 percent of each month’s production. Collin doesn’t mind shouldering the largest share of the work because he thinks his brothers are still too young. Collin typically spends three to four hours each day working in the Gills’ candle-making station. Celena and her husband, Patrick, offer advice and supervision (监督), but the boys mostly manage the business themselves. All the boys plan to make Freres Branchiaux their life’s work. They would like it to grow into a huge brand, maybe around the world. 4. What do the underlined words mean in the first paragraph? A. Lend. B. Earn. C. Save. D. Pay. 5. What was the solution the brothers came up with? A. Starting a business. B. Doing surveys on candles. C. Creating videos on YouTube. D. Stopping playing video games. 6. What can we know about Collin?

The business belongs to the boys’ parents in fact. B. The boys’ parents offer necessary support to them. C. The candle business has become an international one. D. The boys mainly depend on their parents to run the business. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【分析】本文为一篇记叙文。在吉尔三兄弟问父母要钱买玩具和游戏被拒绝后，三兄弟想出了一个解决方案。最终，他们建立了一个公司，除了父母提供必要的帮助外，主要由三兄弟自己管理，并将收益的一部分用于公益事业。 【4题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第一段关键句“It all started when the Gill brothers’ requirement for money to buy more Nerf guns and video games was turned down by their parents. Seeing their parents refuse to fork out the money, the three brothers — Collin, 13 years old, Ryan, 11 years old, and Austin, 8 years old — came up with a solution. ”（这一切都始于吉尔兄弟想要钱买更多的Nerf枪和电子游戏被他们的父母拒绝。看到父母拒绝___，三兄弟——13岁的科林、11岁的瑞安和8岁的奥斯汀——想出了一个解决办法。）可知，父母不愿意支付钱给孩子们买玩具和游戏，因此，fork out为“支付”的意思。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段关键句“Almost two years later, the boys’ candle-making shop called “Freres Branchiaux” which means “Gill Brothers” in French has developed beyond anything they expected. ”（大约两年后，男孩们的蜡烛制作店“兄弟布兰乔”(Freres Branchiaux，法语的意思是“吉尔兄弟”)发展得出乎他们的意料。）及“Collin said it makes him feel like the business has a purpose beyond business.”（科林说，这让他觉得公司有一个超越业务的目标。）可知，兄弟们想出的解决方法是建立一个公司。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段关键句“As the oldest, Collin drives most of the production, making between 50 and 60 percent of each month’s production. Collin doesn’t mind shouldering the largest share of the work because he thinks his brothers are still too young. Collin typically spends three to four hours each day working in the Gills’ candle-making station.”（作为最大的，科林负责大部分的生产，制作每月生产的50%到60%。 科林不介意承担大部分的工作，因为他认为他的兄弟们还太小。 科林通常每天花三到四个小时在吉尔家的蜡烛制作站工作。）可以看出，科林照顾弟弟们，每天辛劳工作，是勤劳和体贴人的。故选C项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段关键句“Celena and her husband, Patrick, offer advice and supervision,but the boys mostly manage the business themselves. ”（赛琳娜和她的丈夫帕特里克提供建议和监督，但男孩们主要是自己管理公司。）可知，公司是男孩们自己管理，父母会向他们提供必要的帮助。故选B项。 C Older adults who sleep six hours or fewer a night may have elevated risk for dementia(痴呆症) and other cognitive (认知的) issues, a new study finds. Researchers at Stanford University measured seniors' (ages 65 to 85) dementia risk and cognitive abilities, finding higher risk in those patients who regularly slept six or fewer hours compared to those who slept seven or eight hours. Those seniors who slept nine or more hours also had lower cognitive functions and other health issues, but the researchers didn't find the same high dementia risk in this group. The findings demonstrate how important it is for adults to maintain a healthy sleep cycle, especially as they get older. As adults age, it's common for their sleep patterns to change or become disrupted — leading to longer, shorter, or more irregular sleep. This disruption may be linked to Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, impacting seniors' ability to remember information, problem-solve, and go through everyday behaviors. Sleep disruption can also be caused by or heighten depression, cardiovascular disease（冠心病）, and other conditions. A recommended sleep time for seniors is seven to eight hours, the researchers said. Six or fewer hours corresponded to short sleep, while nine or more hours corresponded to long sleep. The Stanford researchers measured levels of beta amyloid, a protein in the brain that is typically found in high levels when a patient develops Alzheimer's. In addition, the researchers used several tests for memory, attention, spatial skills, and executive function to identify patients' cognitive abilities. Those patients sleeping for six hours or fewer a night were more likely to develop dementia, the researchers found. The low-sleep patients had higher levels of beta amyloid. The Stanford researchers found that patients with lower sleep also performed worse on memory tests, while those with higher sleep (more hours) performed worse on executive function tests，which measure the brain's ability to switch between different tasks. ―The main takeaway is that it is important to maintain healthy sleep late in life, Winer told CNN. 8. What does the underlined word “disrupted” in paragraph 4 mean? A. difficult B. disordered C. dissolved D. different 9. According to the findings, which of the following is NOT related to the disrupted sleep? A. It is more likely to cause old people to have bad memories over issues. B. It may contribute to dementia, cardiovascular disease and other illnesses. C. Some daily behaviors perhaps differ from those whose sleeping is normal. D. It tends to bring all the old people to undergo brain scans and cognitive tests. 10. What can we infer from the study? A. A proper sleep time for seniors is seven to eight hours. B. Low and high sleep patients were both poor at memory tests. C. Executive function test is applied to measure the capacity of brain. D. Keeping a healthy sleep for older adults late in life is crucial. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了研究表明，老年人睡得太少或太多都会加速大脑退化。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第四段第一句划线词后文“leading to longer, shorter, or more irregular sleep.（导致更长、更短或更不规律的睡眠）”可推测划线词disrupted为“紊乱的”，A. difficult困难的；B. disordered紊乱的；C. dissolved解散；D. different不同的。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“This disruption may be linked to Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, impacting seniors' ability to remember information, problem-solve, and go through everyday behaviors. Sleep disruption can also be caused by or heighten depression, cardiovascular disease（冠心病）, and other conditions.（睡眠紊乱可能和老年痴呆症或其他类型的痴呆症有关，影响着老年人记忆信息、解决问题的能力，并会影响日常行为）可知，根据调查结果D选项：It tends to bring all the old people to undergo brain scans and cognitive tests.（它倾向于让所有老年人接受脑部扫描和认知测试）没有提及到。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段的“Researchers at Stanford University measured seniors' (ages 65 to 85) dementia risk and cognitive abilities, finding higher risk in those patients who regularly slept six or fewer hours compared to those who slept seven or eight hours. Those seniors who slept nine or more hours also had lower cognitive functions and other health issues（斯坦福大学的研究人员测量了老年人（65至85岁）患痴呆症的风险和认知能力，发现经常睡6小时或更少的患者比睡7小时或8小时的患者患痴呆症的风险更高。睡眠时间在9小时或以上的老年人也有较低的认知功能和其他健康问题）”和最后一段的“The main takeaway is that it is important to maintain healthy sleep late in life（主要的收获是，晚年保持健康的睡眠很重要）”可推知，老人晚年保持健康的睡眠至关重要。故选D项。 D Researchers studied data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, organized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States and looked at the relationship between cups of coffee drunk per day and both total body fat percentage and abdominal or trunk fat. They found that women aged 20 — 40 who drank two or three cups of coffee per day had the lowest level of obesity, 3.4% lower than people who did not consume coffee. Among women aged between 45 — 69, those who drank four or more cups had an obesity percentage 4.1% lower. Overall, the average total body fat percentage was 2.8% lower among women of all ages who drank two or three cups of coffee per day. The findings were consistent whether the coffee consumed was caffeinated or decaffeinated and among smokers/non-smokers and those suffering from chronic diseases when compared to those in good health. In men, the relationship was less significant although men aged 20 — 44 who drank two or three cups per day had 1.3% less total fat and 1.8% less trunk fat than those who didn’t consume coffee. Around 7 million tons of coffee is consumed globally every year. Dr. Lee Smith, senior author of the study, said: “Our research suggests that there may be active compounds in coffee other than caffeine that manage weight and which could potentially be used as anti-obesity compounds.” “It could be possible that coffee, or its effective ingredients could be integrated into a healthy diet strategy to reduce the burden of chronic conditions related to the obesity,” Dr. Lee Smith added. “It’s important to interpret the findings of this study in light of its limitations — the study was at a specific point in time so trends cannot be established. However, we don’t believe that someone’s weight is likely to influence their coffee consumption.” 11. What can be inferred from the text? A. Coffee has less effect on men than women in fat according to the findings. B. The women aged 20 — 44 like to drink two or three cups of coffee per day. C. The researchers found that the coffee consumers preferred caffeinated coffee. D. Trends will be established to limit people’s weight by their coffee consumption. 12. What in coffee mainly influences body fat according to Dr. Lee Smith? A. The caffeine. B. The decaffeinated. C. The effective compounds. D. The rich nutrition. 13. What might the study be used for? A. Developing a new coffee. B. The treatment of obesity. C. The treatment of heart disease. D. The study of physical differences between the sexes. 14. Where is this text most likely from? A. A diary. B. A guidebook. C. A novel. D. A magazine. 【答案】11. A 12. C 13. B 14. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了一项研究发现，每天喝两到三杯咖啡的所有年龄段女性的平均体脂率要低2.8%，无论喝的咖啡是含咖啡因还是不含咖啡因，无论是吸烟者还是不吸烟者，还是患有慢性疾病的人，与健康状况良好的人相比，研究结果都是一致的。但是这一影响对男性来说相对较小。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“They found that women aged 20- 44 who drank two or three cups of coffee per day had the lowest levels of obesity, 3.4% lower than people who did not consume coffee.(他们发现，年龄在20到44岁之间、每天喝2到3杯咖啡女性肥胖率最低，比不喝咖啡的女性肥胖率低3.4%)”以及第五段“In men, the relationship was less significant although men aged 20-44 who drank two or three cups per day had 1.39% less total fat and 1.8% less trunk fat than those who did not consume coffee.(在男性中，这种关系不那么重要，尽管20到44岁的男性中，每天喝2到3杯咖啡的人总脂肪比不喝咖啡的人少1.39%，躯干脂肪少1.8%)”可推知，根据研究结果，咖啡在脂肪方面对男性的影响比女性小。故选A。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Dr. Lee Smith, senior author of the study, said: “Our research suggests that there may be active compounds in coffee other than caffeine that manage weight and which could potentially be used as anti-obesity compounds.”(安格利亚鲁斯金大学公共卫生专业的读者、该研究的资深作者Lee Smith博士说：“我们的研究表明，咖啡中除了咖啡因外，可能还有其他可以控制体重的活性化合物，它们有可能被用作抗肥胖化合物。”)”可知，咖啡中的主要影响身体脂肪的是活性化合物。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中““It could be possible that coffee, or its effective ingredients could be integrated into a healthy diet strategy to reduce the burden of chronic conditions related to the obesity,” Dr. Lee Smith added.( Lee Smith博士补充说：“有可能将咖啡或其有效成分纳入健康饮食策略，以减少与肥胖相关的慢性疾病的负担。”)”可知，这项研究可能用于肥胖症的治疗。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章主要说明了一项研究发现，每天喝两到三杯咖啡的所有年龄段女性的平均体脂率要低2.8%，无论喝的咖啡是含咖啡因还是不含咖啡因，无论是吸烟者还是不吸烟者，还是患有慢性疾病的人，与健康状况良好的人相比，研究结果都是一致的。但是这一影响对男性来说相对较小。可知文章属于健康研究类，结合选项可推知最有可能选自一本杂志。故选D。 七选五 Social distancing can impact mental health.

While Jack looked around in the store, she couldn’t wait to get him home to warm soup and a warm bed. “Mommy, look!” Jack said when they got close to the register. He pointed at a row of toy cars for sale. “Can I have one? Please?” “No, Jack. You have plenty of cars,” said Mrs. Brown. “Besides, it’s very close to Christmas. Who knows what Santa will bring you?” Jack accepted his mother’s decision, but it didn’t help his mood. Now he was tired and disappointed. When they got up to the counter, the lady at the register handed Jack one of the toy cars. “The woman in front of you in line bought this for you,” she said. “I chose the yellow one, but you can have any one you want.” Jack looked so happy because it was the very thing he wanted. Mrs. Brown looked around for the mysterious (神秘的) benefactor, but she was long gone. “That was very nice of that lady,” she said. “Maybe we can also give an anonymous (匿名的) gift to someone else today.” “Yes, we should!” Jack agreed. The unexpected kindness made him feel better than any medicine could. Immediately he thought of the little girl who was badly ill in Urgent Care Center. “Mommy, why not give the girl we saw in Urgent Care Center something nice to comfort her?” he suggested. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “That sounds like a good idea,” said Mrs. Brown. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When she woke up, the girl found the doll(玩具娃娃) beside her. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 “That sounds like a good idea,” said Mrs. Brown. Jack nodded with his eyes twinkling with pleasure. “You can look around the store and choose something special for her,” said Mrs. Brown. Jack checked everywhere and finally picked up a gorgeous doll. He showed it to Mrs. Brown and said, “Mom, how about this one? It looks pretty and it can be a good company to the little girl. I am sure she will love it.” Mrs. Brown agreed and paid for it at the counter. Early next morning, they carefully placed the doll on the bedside table next to the little girl in Urgent Care Center. When she woke up, the girl found the doll(玩具娃娃) beside her. The instant she saw the doll, the smile on her face shone like a diamond. She wondered whom it was from, and she noticed a note under the doll. She reached it and the note read, “Dear, hope you feel better soon. From anonymous kindness.” The girl’s heart was filled with warmth. And she made up her mind to pass the kindness on when she got better. The world would be a much better one with so many kindnesses. 【解析】 【导语】本文以故事情节为线索展开，讲述了布朗太太带杰克去商店买东西时，杰克想要一辆小汽车玩具而遭到了布朗太太的拒绝，最后到达柜台时，收银员递给杰克一辆他们前面的一位女士买的玩具汽车，这让杰克很高兴，所以，布朗太太也想给别人一份匿名礼物，最后，他们决定要给一位他们在急救中心看到的女孩买一些好东西来安慰她的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““听起来是个好主意，”布朗太太说。”可知，第一段可描写接下来他们做了些什么，给小女孩买的什么玩具，结合第二段的提示可知，此处应该买的是一个洋娃娃，而且要提到送到小女孩的身边。 ②由第二段首句内容“当她醒来时，女孩发现洋娃娃在她身边。”可知，第二段可描写小女孩发现了洋娃娃后的反应，以及她接下来决定要做些什么，此处要与传递善良相关。 2.续写线索：同意买礼物——寻找礼物——决定送一个洋娃娃——放到女孩旁边——女孩的反应——传递善良 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①购买：pay for/buy/purchase ②放置：place/put/lay ③想知道：wonder/want to know 情绪类 ①快乐：with pleasure/happily/delightedly/with joy ②确信：sure/convinced 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Seeing their parents refuse to fork out the money, the three brothers — Collin, 13 years old, Ryan, 11 years old, and Austin, 8 years old — came up with a solution. They taught themselves how to make candles, learning tips from YouTube videos, and a business was born. Almost two years later, the boys’ candle-making shop called “Freres Branchiaux” which means “Gill Brothers” in French has developed beyond anything they expected. With 36 stores selling their products, Freres Branchiaux sells about 400 candles a month. The boys have cash for all the Nerf guns and video games they ever desired. But instead of spending much on toys, most of the money goes back into the business, and 10 percent of their profits are donated to Washington-area homeless shelters every month. Collin said it makes him feel like the business has a purpose beyond business. “The community helped us, so we have to help back,” the brothers said. As soon as the brothers find the funds and space, they hope to open a shop and hire homeless people as employees. The candles, which come in 23 scents, such as Lavender Crush, Lime Cotton and Whiskey Sweet, are the boys’ most popular products. They also offer other things like soap and bath salts. Each product is made by one of the brothers. As the oldest, Collin drives most of the production, making between 50 and 60 percent of each month’s production. Collin doesn’t mind shouldering the largest share of the work because he thinks his brothers are still too young. Collin typically spends three to four hours each day working in the Gills’ candle-making station. Celena and her husband, Patrick, offer advice and supervision (监督), but the boys mostly manage the business themselves. All the boys plan to make Freres Branchiaux their life’s work. They would like it to grow into a huge brand, maybe around the world. 4. What do the underlined words mean in the first paragraph? A. Lend. B. Earn. C. Save. D. Pay. 5.

The business belongs to the boys’ parents in fact. B. The boys’ parents offer necessary support to them. C. The candle business has become an international one. D. The boys mainly depend on their parents to run the business. C Older adults who sleep six hours or fewer a night may have elevated risk for dementia(痴呆症) and other cognitive (认知的) issues, a new study finds. Researchers at Stanford University measured seniors' (ages 65 to 85) dementia risk and cognitive abilities, finding higher risk in those patients who regularly slept six or fewer hours compared to those who slept seven or eight hours. Those seniors who slept nine or more hours also had lower cognitive functions and other health issues, but the researchers didn't find the same high dementia risk in this group. The findings demonstrate how important it is for adults to maintain a healthy sleep cycle, especially as they get older. As adults age, it's common for their sleep patterns to change or become disrupted — leading to longer, shorter, or more irregular sleep. This disruption may be linked to Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, impacting seniors' ability to remember information, problem-solve, and go through everyday behaviors. Sleep disruption can also be caused by or heighten depression, cardiovascular disease（冠心病）, and other conditions. A recommended sleep time for seniors is seven to eight hours, the researchers said. Six or fewer hours corresponded to short sleep, while nine or more hours corresponded to long sleep. The Stanford researchers measured levels of beta amyloid, a protein in the brain that is typically found in high levels when a patient develops Alzheimer's. In addition, the researchers used several tests for memory, attention, spatial skills, and executive function to identify patients' cognitive abilities. Those patients sleeping for six hours or fewer a night were more likely to develop dementia, the researchers found. The low-sleep patients had higher levels of beta amyloid. The Stanford researchers found that patients with lower sleep also performed worse on memory tests, while those with higher sleep (more hours) performed worse on executive function tests，which measure the brain's ability to switch between different tasks. ―The main takeaway is that it is important to maintain healthy sleep late in life, Winer told CNN. 8. What does the underlined word “disrupted” in paragraph 4 mean? A. difficult B. disordered C. dissolved D. different 9. According to the findings, which of the following is NOT related to the disrupted sleep? A. It is more likely to cause old people to have bad memories over issues. B. It may contribute to dementia cardiovascular disease and other illnesses. C. Some daily behaviors perhaps differ from those whose sleeping is normal. D. It tends to bring all the old people to undergo brain scans and cognitive tests. 10. What can we infer from the study? A. A proper sleep time for seniors is seven to eight hours. B. Low and high sleep patients were both poor at memory tests. C. Executive function test is applied to measure the capacity of brain. D. Keeping a healthy sleep for older adults late in life is crucial. D Researchers studied data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, organized by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States and looked at the relationship between cups of coffee drunk per day and both total body fat percentage and abdominal or trunk fat. They found that women aged 20 — 40 who drank two or three cups of coffee per day had the lowest level of obesity, 3.4% lower than people who did not consume coffee. Among women aged between 45 — 69, those who drank four or more cups had an obesity percentage 4.1% lower. Overall, the average total body fat percentage was 2.8% lower among women of all ages who drank two or three cups of coffee per day. The findings were consistent whether the coffee consumed was caffeinated or decaffeinated and among smokers/non-smokers and those suffering from chronic diseases when compared to those in good health. In men, the relationship was less significant although men aged 20 — 44 who drank two or three cups per day had 1.3% less total fat and 1.8% less trunk fat than those who didn’t consume coffee. Around 7 million tons of coffee is consumed globally every year. Dr. Lee Smith, senior author of the study, said: “Our research suggests that there may be active compounds in coffee other than caffeine that manage weight and which could potentially be used as anti-obesity compounds.” “It could be possible that coffee, or its effective ingredients could be integrated into a healthy diet strategy to reduce the burden of chronic conditions related to the obesity,” Dr. Lee Smith added. “It’s important to interpret the findings of this study in light of its limitations — the study was at a specific point in time so trends cannot be established. However, we don’t believe that someone’s weight is likely to influence their coffee consumption.” 11. What can be inferred from the text? A. Coffee has less effect on men than women in fat according to the findings. B. The women aged 20 — 44 like to drink two or three cups of coffee per day. C. The researchers found that the coffee consumers preferred caffeinated coffee. D. Trends will be established to limit people’s weight by their coffee consumption. 12. What in coffee mainly influences body fat according to Dr. Lee Smith? A. The caffeine. B. The decaffeinated. C. The effective compounds. D. The rich nutrition. 13. What might the study be used for? A. Developing a new coffee. B. The treatment of obesity. C. The treatment of heart disease. D. The study of physical differences between the sexes. 14. Where is this text most likely from? A. A diary. B. A guidebook. C. A novel. D. A magazine. 七选五 Social distancing can impact mental health. How shall we handle it? More than three billion people globally are living under lockdown measures.

While Jack looked around in the store, she couldn’t wait to get him home to warm soup and a warm bed. “Mommy, look!” Jack said when they got close to the register. He pointed at a row of toy cars for sale. “Can I have one? Please?” “No, Jack. You have plenty of cars,” said Mrs. Brown. “Besides, it’s very close to Christmas. Who knows what Santa will bring you?” Jack accepted his mother’s decision, but it didn’t help his mood. Now he was tired and disappointed. When they got up to the counter, the lady at the register handed Jack one of the toy cars. “The woman in front of you in line bought this for you,” she said. “I chose the yellow one, but you can have any one you want.” Jack looked so happy because it was the very thing he wanted. Mrs. Brown looked around for the mysterious (神秘的) benefactor, but she was long gone. “That was very nice of that lady,” she said. “Maybe we can also give an anonymous (匿名的) gift to someone else today.” “Yes, we should!” Jack agreed. The unexpected kindness made him feel better than any medicine could. Immediately he thought of the little girl who was badly ill in Urgent Care Center. “Mommy, why not give the girl we saw in Urgent Care Center something nice to comfort her?” he suggested. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “That sounds like a good idea,” said Mrs. Brown. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When she woke up, the girl found the doll(玩具娃娃) beside her. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5CBABA 6-10ABACA 11-15CBCAC 16-20BABAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
