He was driven by a strong connection to the area and a progressive vision for education. Having completed a postgraduate thesis (论文) on Isaac Rosenberg, a poet from the East End, Searle saw Stepney as a place filled with potential, in spite of its reputation as a hopeless community. He believed that education, particularly through poetry, could transform the lives of his students, many of whom came from low-income, high-risk backgrounds. Searle’s unconventional approach conflicted with the traditional views of the school’s governors and teachers. At a time when discipline was harsh and students were often regarded as troublemakers, Searle viewed these underachieving teenagers as individuals with untapped potential. He believed that poetry could unlock their creativity and help them express their experiences, offering them a sense of hope and purpose. His belief in poetry’s power materialized in the creation of Stepney Words, a collection of his students’ poems. Despite the pessimism from some staff who thought his methods too liberal, the poems gained attention, and some of them were even published in The Sun newspaper by March 1971. The collection gave the students a voice, but it also drew’ criticism from school officials who thought the poems were “too gloomy”. Searle’s progressive ideals led to his dismissal from the school. However, his students, angered by the decision, organized a protest led by 16-year-old Zenaida de la Cruz. The entire school quickly united, standing together with Searle. On his return to the school, he found 800 students standing outside the gates in the rain, showing their support. Though the government eventually allowed him to return, he decided to leave the school in 1974. His commitment to education did not end there — he continued to teach around the world and published his own poetry, leaving behind a lasting impact of optimism, innovation, and faith in the power of education to bring about change. 4. What did Chris Searle believe could change lives of his students? A. Strict discipline. B. Peaceful community. C. Education through poetry. D. Communication activities. 5. Why did Chris Searle believe poetry could help his students? A. It was a required subject in the school curriculum. B. It could foster creativity and bring them purpose. C. The school governors encouraged ‘ poetry writing. D. His students had already won poetry competitions, 6. Why does the author mention the publication of poems in The Sun? A. To show the success of Searle’s approach despite criticism. B. To prove that Searle’s methods were widely accepted. C. To emphasize the students’ great academic struggles. D. To criticize the media’s focus on negative topics. 7. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To criticize traditional teaching methods in London schools. B. To argue that poetry is the most important subject in education. C. To explain why students in Stepney faced academic challenges. D. To describe Chris Searle’s innovative teaching approach and its impact. C Several groups of researchers recently studied how getting older. affects the behavior of a wide variety of animals. Their findings, published in a special issue of the scientific journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, show that in many species, animals tend to spend less time socializing with others as they age — and this shift has some surprising benefits. As with humans, social relationships are an essential part of most animals’ lives. Living and working alongside others helps animals find food and mates and stay safe from predators. In fact, one of the studies found that the more social a species is, the longer that species is likely to live and the more offspring it is likely to produce. However, animals also have good reasons for becoming less social as they get older, a trend known as social aging. One of the studies focused on wild red deer on the Scottish island of Rum. It found that limiting social interaction reduces an older deer’s risk of getting infected by harmful parasites (寄生虫). Another study found that social aging lowers rhesus macaques’ (猕猴) risk of catching a disease. One study in the journal tracked house sparrows on a remote English island and found that older sparrows have fewer social relationships. Older birds may not need the connections as much as younger sparrows, which have to find mates and learn survival skills from other birds. A study on chacma baboons (赤猴) also suggests that social aging could be a way to save energy. It is helpful to study aging in animals because scientists can track how their behavior changes over their entire life span, which could also shed light on how human societies will change as they get older. “Animal populations are a great way of considering the fundamental rules of how aging may shape societies,” said journal editor Josh Firth. 8. What did researchers find about highly social species? A. They get serious diseases easily. B. Older individuals will become lonelier. C. They may live longer and produce more offspring. D. They require more energy to maintain the social bonds. 9. Why might older animals benefit from reduced social interactions? A. Older animals require more time to rest. B. Older animals no longer need to find mates. C. Older animals no longer need to learn survival skills. D. Reduced socializing lowers the risk of parasite infections. 10. Why is the study of aging in animals helpful? A. It helps understand how aging affects animal and human societies. B. It suggests humans should maintain high levels of social activity. C. It helps scientists develop anti-aging medicine for pets. D. It helps increase the lifespan of endangered species. 11. What is the main focus of the article? A. How animal social behavior affects lifespan greatly. B. Why older animals reduce interactions and the benefits. C. A comparison between human and animal social behavior. D. How animal studies can predict future human societal changes. D Chinese scientists have discovered two important genes that help sorghum (高粱) resist Striga, a harmful plant that causes big losses in crops. This discovery also shows how AI can help find key parts in certain plant proteins, which could be useful for making many crops stronger against such harmful plants. The study, published in a famous science journal Cell, was done by a team led by Professor Xie Qi from a top Chinese research institute, along with five other research centers. Striga, known as “witchweed”, and other similar plants steal food and water from crops, badly affecting farm output and nature. In Africa, Striga alone harms over 50 million hectares of farmland, causing $1.5 billion in losses each year and affecting more than 300 million people. In China, Striga is found in places like Guangdong and Yunnan, while another harmful plant, Orobanche, damages crops like sunflowers and tomatoes in Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang. Sorghum is one crop that Striga attacks. Sorghum roots release certain chemicals that help the plant get nutrients from fungi. However, Striga seeds in the soil can sense these chemicals, which makes them grow and attack the sorghum. In their research, scientists studied sorghum roots under different, conditions and found two genes, SbSLT1 and SbSLT2, that control the release of these chemicals. When these genes are turned off, the chemicals are not released, and Striga cannot grow and harm the sorghum. AI helped find a special part of these genes that is important for their function. This part is also found in other crops like corn, rice, and tomatoes, suggesting a common way to fight Striga across different plants. Experiments confirmed the importance of this part. Field tests in areas with a lot of Striga showed that sorghum with these genes turned off had much less damage and lost much less yield. -This gives farmers a new way to grow sorghum that resists Striga. The researchers believe that finding SbSLT1 and SbSLT2 can help fight harmful plants, improve food security in affected countries, and support peace and stability. Future work will test these genes in other crops like corn and tomatoes, aiming to make more crops resistant to Striga. 12. Why does Striga affect crop yield? A. It spreads harmful virus. B. It steals nutrients and water. C. It attracts insects and birds. D. It blocks sunlight from getting in. 13. What is the significance of turning off the two genes in sorghum? A. It reduces the yield of sorghum crops. B. It increases the release of chemicals that attract Striga. C. It prevents Striga from growing and attacking sorghum. D. It makes sorghum more dependent on fungi for nutrients. 14. What broader meanings does the discovery have? A. It will only benefit sorghum farmers in Africa. B. It has no significant impact beyond sorghum cultivation. C It will lead to the immediate commercialization of Striga-resistant crops. D. It could help improve food security and support peace in affected regions. 15. What is the main topic of the passage? A. The discovery of genes that help sorghum resist Striga. B. The economic losses caused by Striga in Africa. C. The role of fungi in providing nutrients. D. The use of AI in making crops stronger. 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。 Knowing how to deal with depression can help you live a fuller, more productive life.

The most anticipated event, the 4x100-meter relay race, was about to start. Tim, a passionate and athletic student, was part of his class’s relay team. Along with his teammates—Mark, Jack and Alex, he had trained intensively for weeks, nurturing high hopes of winning the gold medal. The atmosphere was electric as the runners took their positions. The starting gun fired, and Mark took off like a bolt of lightning, his powerful strides eating up the track. He smoothly handed the baton(接力棒)to Jack. Jack sprinted(冲刺)ahead with all his might, skillfully maintaining their lead. Then, it was Tim’s turn. As Jack approached at top speed, Tim reached out eagerly for the baton. But in his over-enthusiasm, he miscalculated the distance, and to his horror, the baton dropped to the ground. Time seemed to stand still as Tim stared at the baton, his heart pounding. He quickly snatched it up and dashed forward, but the precious seconds lost had put them behind the other teams. Alex did his absolute best in the final leg, pushing himself to the limit, but they ultimately crossed the finish line in fourth place, narrowly missing out on the medals. The disappointment on the team’s faces was obvious. Tim felt as if a heavy weight had settled on his shoulders. He couldn’t bring himself to look at his teammates, consumed by guilt. He replayed the moment of the dropped baton over and over in his mind, each time wishing he could turn back the clock. Mark, usually the most talkative, was silent, his eyes downcast(低垂的). Jack shook his head in frustration, muttering something under his breath. Alex just looked at the ground, his shoulders low. Without a word, they started walking back to the changing room, leaving Tim alone on the track, filled with self-blame. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Tim knew his mistake had cost the team dearly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just then, Mark Jack, and Alex appeared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025年普通高等学校招生演练考试（一） 高三英语 考生注意: 1. 满分150分, 考试时间120分钟。 2. 考生作答时, 请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后, 用 2B 铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑; 非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答, 超出答题区域书写的答案无效, 在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 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?

He was driven by a strong connection to the area and a progressive vision for education. Having completed a postgraduate thesis (论文) on Isaac Rosenberg, a poet from the East End, Searle saw Stepney as a place filled with potential, in spite of its reputation as a hopeless community. He believed that education, particularly through poetry, could transform the lives of his students, many of whom came from low-income, high-risk backgrounds. Searle’s unconventional approach conflicted with the traditional views of the school’s governors and teachers. At a time when discipline was harsh and students were often regarded as troublemakers, Searle viewed these underachieving teenagers as individuals with untapped potential. He believed that poetry could unlock their creativity and help them express their experiences, offering them a sense of hope and purpose. His belief in poetry’s power materialized in the creation of Stepney Words, a collection of his students’ poems. Despite the pessimism from some staff who thought his methods too liberal, the poems gained attention, and some of them were even published in The Sun newspaper by March 1971. The collection gave the students a voice, but it also drew’ criticism from school officials who thought the poems were “too gloomy”. Searle’s progressive ideals led to his dismissal from the school. However, his students, angered by the decision, organized a protest led by 16-year-old Zenaida de la Cruz. The entire school quickly united, standing together with Searle. On his return to the school, he found 800 students standing outside the gates in the rain, showing their support. Though the government eventually allowed him to return, he decided to leave the school in 1974. His commitment to education did not end there — he continued to teach around the world and published his own poetry, leaving behind a lasting impact of optimism, innovation, and faith in the power of education to bring about change. 4. What did Chris Searle believe could change lives of his students? A. Strict discipline. B. Peaceful community. C. Education through poetry. D. Communication activities. 5. Why did Chris Searle believe poetry could help his students? A. It was a required subject in the school curriculum. B. It could foster creativity and bring them purpose. C. The school governors encouraged ‘ poetry writing. D. His students had already won poetry competitions, 6. Why does the author mention the publication of poems in The Sun? A. To show the success of Searle’s approach despite criticism. B. To prove that Searle’s methods were widely accepted. C. To emphasize the students’ great academic struggles. D. To criticize the media’s focus on negative topics. 7. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To criticize traditional teaching methods in London schools. B. To argue that poetry is the most important subject in education. C To explain why students in Stepney faced academic challenges. D. To describe Chris Searle’s innovative teaching approach and its impact. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了教师Chris Searle在伦敦Stepney执教期间，通过诗歌教学激发学生潜能，面对质疑坚持信念，并最终赢得学生支持的感人故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“He believed that education, particularly through poetry, could transform the lives of his students, many of whom came from low-income, high-risk backgrounds.

Their findings, published in a special issue of the scientific journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, show that in many species, animals tend to spend less time socializing with others as they age — and this shift has some surprising benefits. As with humans, social relationships are an essential part of most animals’ lives. Living and working alongside others helps animals find food and mates and stay safe from predators. In fact, one of the studies found that the more social a species is, the longer that species is likely to live and the more offspring it is likely to produce. However, animals also have good reasons for becoming less social as they get older, a trend known as social aging. One of the studies focused on wild red deer on the Scottish island of Rum. It found that limiting social interaction reduces an older deer’s risk of getting infected by harmful parasites (寄生虫). Another study found that social aging lowers rhesus macaques’ (猕猴) risk of catching a disease. One study in the journal tracked house sparrows on a remote English island and found that older sparrows have fewer social relationships. Older birds may not need the connections as much as younger sparrows, which have to find mates and learn survival skills from other birds. A study on chacma baboons (赤猴) also suggests that social aging could be a way to save energy. It is helpful to study aging in animals because scientists can track how their behavior changes over their entire life span, which could also shed light on how human societies will change as they get older. “Animal populations are a great way of considering the fundamental rules of how aging may shape societies,” said journal editor Josh Firth. 8. What did researchers find about highly social species? A. They get serious diseases easily. B. Older individuals will become lonelier. C. They may live longer and produce more offspring. D. They require more energy to maintain the social bonds. 9. Why might older animals benefit from reduced social interactions? A. Older animals require more time to rest. B. Older animals no longer need to find mates. C. Older animals no longer need to learn survival skills. D. Reduced socializing lowers the risk of parasite infections. 10. Why is the study of aging in animals helpful? A. It helps understand how aging affects animal and human societies. B. It suggests humans should maintain high levels of social activity. C. It helps scientists develop anti-aging medicine for pets. D. It helps increase the lifespan of endangered species. 11. What is the main focus of the article? A. How animal social behavior affects lifespan greatly. B. Why older animals reduce interactions and the benefits. C. A comparison between human and animal social behavior. D. How animal studies can predict future human societal changes. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了多项研究发现许多动物随着年龄增长会逐渐减少社交行为，并分析这种“社交老化”背后的原因及其对生存的积极影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In fact, one of the studies found that the more social a species is, the longer that species is likely to live and the more offspring it is likely to produce. (事实上，其中一项研究发现，一个物种的社交性越强，它可能活得越久，产生的后代也可能越多)”可知，研究人员发现高度社交的物种可能活得更久，产生更多的后代。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“It found that limiting social interaction reduces an older deer’s risk of getting infected by harmful parasites (寄生虫). (研究发现，限制社交互动可以降低年长鹿被有害寄生虫感染的风险)”可知，年长的动物从减少的社交互动中受益是因为减少社交降低了寄生虫感染的风险。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“It is helpful to study aging in animals because scientists can track how their behavior changes over their entire life span, which could also shed light on how human societies will change as they get older. (研究动物衰老是有帮助的，因为科学家可以追踪它们在整个生命周期中的行为变化，这也可以揭示人类社会随着年龄的增长将如何变化)”可知，研究动物衰老有助于理解衰老如何影响动物和人类社会。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Several groups of researchers recently studied how getting older affects the behavior of a wide variety of animals.

(几组研究人员最近研究了衰老如何影响各种动物的行为。他们的研究结果发表在科学期刊《皇家学会哲学汇刊》的特刊上，表明在许多物种中，随着年龄的增长，动物倾向于减少与他人的社交时间——而这种转变带来了一些令人惊讶的好处)”及全文内容可知，全文围绕“动物随年龄增长减少社交”的现象，分析其原因（如降低感染风险、节省能量）及益处，并提及对人类社会的启示，文章的主要焦点是为什么年长的动物减少互动以及带来的好处。故选B。 D Chinese scientists have discovered two important genes that help sorghum (高粱) resist Striga, a harmful plant that causes big losses in crops. This discovery also shows how AI can help find key parts in certain plant proteins, which could be useful for making many crops stronger against such harmful plants. The study, published in a famous science journal Cell, was done by a team led by Professor Xie Qi from a top Chinese research institute, along with five other research centers. Striga, known as “witchweed”, and other similar plants steal food and water from crops, badly affecting farm output and nature. In Africa, Striga alone harms over 50 million hectares of farmland, causing $1.5 billion in losses each year and affecting more than 300 million people. In China, Striga is found in places like Guangdong and Yunnan, while another harmful plant, Orobanche, damages crops like sunflowers and tomatoes in Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang. Sorghum is one crop that Striga attacks. Sorghum roots release certain chemicals that help the plant get nutrients from fungi. However, Striga seeds in the soil can sense these chemicals, which makes them grow and attack the sorghum. In their research, scientists studied sorghum roots under different, conditions and found two genes, SbSLT1 and SbSLT2, that control the release of these chemicals. When these genes are turned off, the chemicals are not released, and Striga cannot grow and harm the sorghum. AI helped find a special part of these genes that is important for their function. This part is also found in other crops like corn, rice, and tomatoes, suggesting a common way to fight Striga across different plants. Experiments confirmed the importance of this part. Field tests in areas with a lot of Striga showed that sorghum with these genes turned off had much less damage and lost much less yield. -This gives farmers a new way to grow sorghum that resists Striga. The researchers believe that finding SbSLT1 and SbSLT2 can help fight harmful plants, improve food security in affected countries, and support peace and stability. Future work will test these genes in other crops like corn and tomatoes, aiming to make more crops resistant to Striga. 12. Why does Striga affect crop yield? A. It spreads harmful virus. B. It steals nutrients and water. C. It attracts insects and birds. D. It blocks sunlight from getting in. 13. What is the significance of turning off the two genes in sorghum? A. It reduces the yield of sorghum crops. B. It increases the release of chemicals that attract Striga. C. It prevents Striga from growing and attacking sorghum. D. It makes sorghum more dependent on fungi for nutrients. 14. What broader meanings does the discovery have? A. It will only benefit sorghum farmers in Africa. B. It has no significant impact beyond sorghum cultivation. C. It will lead to the immediate commercialization of Striga-resistant crops. D. It could help improve food security and support peace in affected regions. 15 What is the main topic of the passage? A. The discovery of genes that help sorghum resist Striga. B. The economic losses caused by Striga in Africa. C. The role of fungi in providing nutrients. D. The use of AI in making crops stronger. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家发现帮助高粱抵抗有害植物Striga的基因及其重要意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Striga, known as “witchweed”, and other similar plants steal food and water from crops, badly affecting farm output and nature. (Striga被称为“巫草”，和其他类似的植物从农作物中窃取食物和水，严重影响农业产量和自然。)”可知，Striga影响农作物产量的原因是它窃取了农作物的养分和水。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“When these genes are turned off, the chemicals are not released, and Striga cannot grow and harm the sorghum. (当这些基因被关闭时，这些化学物质就不会被释放出来，Striga也就无法生长和危害高粱。)”可知，关闭高粱中的这两个基因可以防止Striga生长和攻击高粱。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The researchers believe that finding SbSLT1 and SbSLT2 can help fight harmful plants, improve food security in affected countries, and support peace and stability. (研究人员认为，发现SbSLT1和SbSLT2有助于对抗有害植物，提高受影响国家的粮食安全，并支持和平与稳定。)”可知，这一发现可以帮助改善受影响地区的粮食安全，并支持和平与稳定。故选D。 15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Chinese scientists have discovered two important genes that help sorghum (高粱) resist Striga, a harmful plant that causes big losses in crops.

Tim, a passionate and athletic student, was part of his class’s relay team. Along with his teammates—Mark, Jack and Alex, he had trained intensively for weeks, nurturing high hopes of winning the gold medal. The atmosphere was electric as the runners took their positions. The starting gun fired and Mark took off like a bolt of lightning, his powerful strides eating up the track. He smoothly handed the baton(接力棒)to Jack. Jack sprinted(冲刺)ahead with all his might, skillfully maintaining their lead. Then, it was Tim’s turn. As Jack approached at top speed, Tim reached out eagerly for the baton. But in his over-enthusiasm, he miscalculated the distance, and to his horror, the baton dropped to the ground. Time seemed to stand still as Tim stared at the baton, his heart pounding. He quickly snatched it up and dashed forward, but the precious seconds lost had put them behind the other teams. Alex did his absolute best in the final leg, pushing himself to the limit, but they ultimately crossed the finish line in fourth place, narrowly missing out on the medals. The disappointment on the team’s faces was obvious. Tim felt as if a heavy weight had settled on his shoulders. He couldn’t bring himself to look at his teammates, consumed by guilt. He replayed the moment of the dropped baton over and over in his mind, each time wishing he could turn back the clock. Mark, usually the most talkative, was silent, his eyes downcast(低垂的). Jack shook his head in frustration, muttering something under his breath. Alex just looked at the ground, his shoulders low. Without a word, they started walking back to the changing room, leaving Tim alone on the track, filled with self-blame. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Tim knew his mistake had cost the team dearly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just then, Mark Jack, and Alex appeared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Tim knew his mistake had cost the team dearly. He couldn’t help but blame himself for the failure. As he sat on the edge of the track, tears of frustration welled up in his eyes. He thought about all the hard work and dedication they had put into training, and how it had all seemed to be in vain because of his one moment of carelessness. He wondered if his teammates would ever forgive him, and if he would ever be able to make up for what he had done. Just then, Mark, Jack, and Alex appeared. They walked up to Tim and sat down beside him. Mark placed a comforting hand on Tim’s shoulder and said, “Hey, it’s not your fault. These things happen. We’re a team, and we all make mistakes.” Jack nodded in agreement, adding, “We didn’t lose because of you. We lost because we didn’t work together well enough in that moment. Let’s learn from this and come back stronger next time.” Alex smiled and patted Tim on the back, saying, “We’re still proud of you, and we know you’ll do better next time. We’re in this together.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以学校运动会的4×100米接力赛为背景，讲述了主人公Tim因失误导致团队失去奖牌机会的故事，展现了比赛中的紧张氛围以及失败后的自责与队友的支持，体现了团队精神和成长的重要性。 【详解】一、段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Tim知道他的失误让团队付出了沉重的代价。”可知，第一段可描写Tim内心的自责以及对比赛结果的反思。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在那时，Mark、Jack和Alex出现了。”可知，第二段可描写队友们对Tim的支持和鼓励，以及Tim的感悟。 二、续写线索：学校举办比赛——失误——自责——队友支持——感悟 三、词汇激活 行为类 ①责备：blame/reproach ②反思：reflect/contemplate ③安慰：comfort/console ④笑：smile/grin 情绪类 ①沮丧：frustration/disappointment ②安慰的：comforting/conciliative 【点睛】【高级句型1】He wondered if his teammates would ever forgive him, and if he would ever be able to make up for what he had done. (if引导的宾语从句) 【高级句型2】Alex smiled and patted Tim on the back, saying, “We’re still proud of you, and we know you’ll do better next time. We’re in this together.” (现在分词作伴随状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
