Starting ballet at nine, she joined the Affiliated Secondary School of Beijing Dance Academy and quickly rose to fame. By 16, she had claimed gold at the Helsinki International Ballet Competition and joined National Ballet of China at 17. Her breakthrough came when she starred in Romeo and Juliet shortly after joining the company. “That’s when I truly fell in love with ballet,” she recalled. Known for her technical excellence and dedication, she often practiced over 12 hours daily to perfect multiple roles. “Ballet isn’t just a job— it’s my life’s purpose,” she said. However, her career faced a crisis in 2013 during a performance of The Little Mermaid, where she suffered a severe spinal injury. “My sacrum was distorted. I almost quit,” she admitted. For two years, she underwent painful recovery while starring in a war-themed film, Ballet in the Flames of War. “I refused to give up,” she explained. Returning to the stage in 2015, she shifted her focus from technical perfection to emotional storytelling. “Though my injury limits some moves, I now express deeper feelings through dance,” she said. Her performances gained international acclaim as she toured globally with National Ballet of China. “Sharing Chinese ballet worldwide is my greatest pride, and dance has become part of my soul,” she emphasized. Her story highlights the sacrifices behind artistic success. While admitting ballet demands extraordinary commitment, she finds joy in its rewards. “Every drop of sweat is worth it when I step onto the stage,” she said.

This tool lets us build endless sentences from simple words, such as “The monkey watches the bird following the butterfly that eats flowers”. However, a new study on wild orangutans (红毛猩猩) questions this idea, suggesting this ability might have existed much earlier in our shared evolutionary history. Researchers from the University of Warwick studied over 1,000 alarm calls from female Sumatran orangutans. They found a surprising three-level repeating pattern in their sounds. First, single sounds formed small groups, which then combined into longer sequences, and finally repeated in even larger series — all keeping a steady rhythm at each level. This musical-like layering showed complexity never seen before in animals outside humans. Importantly, the orangutans changed their calls based on danger. When real hunters like tigers appeared, their sounds became faster and sharper. For false threats, the calls slowed down and lost their regular beat. This flexibility proved their sounds were not accidental but carried clear messages about different dangers. Dr. Chiara De Gregorio, lead author of the study, stated, “Discovering such advanced sound patterns in orangutans makes us rethink what makes human language special. Recursion likely didn’t appear suddenly in humans but developed slowly in our ancient ancestors.” The findings suggest this key language feature might have existed over 10 million years ago, long before humans spoke complex words. By comparing orangutan communication to human language, scientists now better understand how evolution shaped our ability to share ideas. These results also reveal the impressive mental abilities of great apes (类人猿), pushing us to reconsider the line between animal calls and human speech. As Dr. De Gregorio says, “Every sound in an orangutan’s call may hold secrets about how our own language began.” 8. What did researchers discover about orangutans’ alarm calls? A. They model after humans’ speech rhythms. B. Their calls are identical across all situations. C. They use unique words to identify different threats. D. Their sounds follow a structured pattern with multiple layers. 9. How did orangutans adjust their calls when facing real dangers? A. Their calls became quicker and higher. B. They produced deeper sounds. C. They completely stopped voice. D. Their sounds change with a fast-paced rhythm. 10. What does the study imply about the origin of recursion in language? A. It evolved separately in humans and orangutans. B. It is a modern skill unrelated to evolutionary history. C. It only exists in animals with advanced social systems. D. It might have developed gradually in early human ancestors. 11. What is the text? A. A news article. B. A scientific study. C. A historical account. D. A scientific guide. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了关于红毛猩猩叫声结构的研究发现，研究人员通过研究发现红毛猩猩的叫声展现了类人猿中类似人类递归语言的复杂结构。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They found a surprising three-level repeating pattern in their sounds.(他们发现这些叫声中存在一个令人惊讶的三级重复模式)”可知，研究人员发现猩猩的警报叫声遵循一种有规律的模式，包含多个层次。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Importantly, the orangutans changed their calls based on danger. When real hunters like tigers appeared, their sounds became faster and sharper.(重要的是，这些猩猩会根据危险情况改变它们的叫声。当出现真正的捕猎者（如老虎）时，它们的叫声会变得更快、更尖锐)”可知，当面临真正的危险时，猩猩的叫声变得越来越急促、越来越高亢。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Recursion likely didn’t appear suddenly in humans but developed slowly in our ancient ancestors.(递归结构很可能并非突然在人类身上出现，而是由我们的远古祖先逐渐发展而来的)”可知，递归现象可能是由早期人类祖先逐渐演变而来的。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“However, a new study on wild orangutans (红毛猩猩) questions this idea, suggesting this ability might have existed much earlier in our shared evolutionary history.(然而，一项关于野生猩猩的新研究对这一观点提出了质疑，该研究表明这种能力可能在我们共同的进化历程中出现得更为早些)”以及文章主要介绍了关于红毛猩猩叫声结构的研究发现，研究人员通过研究发现红毛猩猩的叫声展现了类人猿中类似人类递归语言的复杂结构。可知，文章是一项科学研究。故选B。 D Remote work has become increasingly common, but does it truly improve employees’ well-being? According to a recent Gallup report based on a global survey, fully remote workers may be more engaged in their tasks, yet they often experience stronger negative emotions. Researchers divided workers into four categories: those who always work remotely; those with hybrid (混合的) arrangements (splitting time between home and office); those based in an office but free to work remotely; and those who must remain in an office at all times. The study found that 31% of fully remote employees reported feeling engaged — meaning they were interested in and focused on their work — whereas only 19% of office-only workers felt similarly, which was the lowest among all categories. Despite higher engagement, fully remote workers reported more frequent stress: 45%said they often felt tense, compared to a lower proportion among office-based staff. Hybrid workers showed similar stress levels (46%). Moreover, at least one-quarter of remote workers admitted to feelings of anger, loneliness, or sadness — emotions less commonly reported by those working entirely on-site. Researcher Ryan Pendell suggests two main reasons for these findings. First, remote workers miss the informal interactions — chatting by the coffee machine or eating lunch together — that foster a sense of connection and reduce stress. Second, working from home demands self-management of time and tasks; constant online meetings and messaging can intensify pressure and blur work-life boundaries. Pendell emphasizes that companies must address the emotional needs of all employees, whether they work from home or in an office. While remote work can boost focus and flexibility, organizations should offer social support, clear guidelines for time management, and opportunities for in-person collaboration (合作). Only by balancing productivity with well-being can businesses ensure long-term success and a truly satisfied workforce. For example, companies might organize regular virtual coffee breaks, schedule occasional in-person gatherings. Encouraging employees to set clear work hours and take regular breaks also helps reduce burnout. By combining structured support programs with flexible policies, businesses can create a work environment that fosters engagement, protects mental health, and sustains productivity. 12. What did the research find about the employees working entirely from home? A. They focus more on tasks but feel worse emotionally. B. They have lower stress than office staff. C. They feel much more stressed than hybrid workers. D. They value flexibility more than teamwork. 13. Which employee group is reported the least work engagement? A. Those dividing time between home and workplace. B. Those allowed flexibility to work off-site. C. Those required to work at an office only. D. Those managing tasks remotely. 14. What does the underlined word “blur” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Clarify. B. Confuse. C. Separate. D. Define. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. How to Manage a Remote Team B. The Rise of Digital Communication C. The Emotional Impact of Working from Home D. Office vs. Home: a Productivity Comparison 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了远程工作日益普遍，研究发现全远程工作者工作投入度更高，但负面情绪更强，还分析了原因并给出企业应对建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“According to a recent Gallup report based on a global survey, fully remote workers may be more engaged in their tasks, yet they often experience stronger negative emotions. (根据盖洛普最近一项基于全球调查的报告，全远程工作者可能对任务更投入，但他们经常会经历更强烈的负面情绪)”可知，全远程工作者更专注于任务，但情绪方面感觉更糟。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The study found that 31% of fully remote employees reported feeling engaged — meaning they were interested in and focused on their work — whereas only 19% of office only workers felt similarly, which was the lowest among all categories. (研究发现，31%的全远程员工表示有工作投入感，即他们对工作感兴趣并专注于工作，而仅在办公室工作的员工中只有19%有类似感受，这是所有类别中比例最低的)”可知，只被要求在办公室工作的员工工作投入度最低。故选C项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Second, working from home demands self management of time and tasks; constant online meetings and messaging can intensify pressure and blur work-life boundaries. (其次，在家工作需要自我管理时间和任务；持续的在线会议和信息传递会加剧压力，并……工作与生活的界限)”和常识可知，在家工作时，持续的线上工作会让工作和生活的界限变得不清晰，混淆它们之间的界限。所以划线词blur与B项“Confuse”意思相近，表示“混淆”。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Remote work has become increasingly common, but does it truly improve employees’ well-being? According to a recent Gallup report based on a global survey, fully remote workers may be more engaged in their tasks, yet they often experience stronger negative emotions. (远程工作变得越来越普遍，但它真的能提高员工的幸福感吗?根据盖洛普最近一项基于全球调查的报告，全远程工作者可能对任务更投入，但他们经常会经历更强烈的负面情绪)”可知，本文主要介绍了一项关于远程工作对员工情绪的影响的研究。故C项“The Emotional Impact of Working from Home (在家工作对情绪影响)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Volunteering means giving your time and abilities to aid others without the want of financial compensation (补偿). ____16____ While you won’t get paid for your community service, volunteering comes with a lot of other benefits.

Every evening, when the sun turned his room golden, he would sit on the floor with his loved guitar. His fingers moved quickly over the strings, creating music that sounded like the wind in the trees or birds singing. Villagers often stopped outside his house to listen, saying things like “He’s amazing!” But Ethan didn’t believe them. “What if my music is only good for this tiny place?” he thought, staring at the scratches on his guitar. One autumn day, a bright poster on the village board caught his eye. “Annual Talent Show!” it said, with a picture of a shiny trophy (奖杯). The prize was a chance to play at the big county fair. Ethan’s heart raced. For days, he walked around the poster, his hands deep in his pockets. He imagined people clapping, but also heard voices in his head, “What if I play the wrong notes? What if they think I’m just a nobody?” He touched the guitar’s worn edges, remembering all the hours he’d practiced. His grandfather, a gray-haired man with kind eyes, noticed Ethan’s worry. One evening, as the sky turned orange, he said, “Let’s take a walk.” They went to their favorite oak tree. Sitting on a rock, the old man said, “When I was young, I wanted to be a painter.” He told Ethan how he once visited an old artist’s studio. “The artist asked me to paint publicly. I was so scared, and I almost ran away.” Ethan leaned closer, eager to know more. “But then,” his grandfather added, “the artist told me, ‘Don’t think about others. Just paint what you feel.’” He pretended to hold a brush. “I painted a wild ocean-messy waves, crooked rocks. When I finished, people didn’t care about mistakes. They felt the storm.” He patted Ethan’s hand. “Your music doesn’t need to be perfect. It needs to be real.” Ethan decided to sign up. A few days later, the day of Annual Talent Show finally arrived. 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。 Backstage, Ethan grasped his guitar, palms sweating. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ However, Ethan didn’t mind who got the grand prize. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Backstage, Ethan grasped his guitar, palms sweating. His heart beat so fast that he could barely hear the crowd cheering. Suddenly, he remembered his grandfather’s words, “Just play what you feel.” Taking a deep breath, he stepped onto the stage. The bright lights blinded him for a moment, but as his fingers touched the strings, the music flowed out like a river. At first, his hands shook, but soon he closed his eyes and lost himself in music. When he finished, the audience clapped wildly. Although Ethan performed very well, the grand prize went to someone else. However, Ethan didn’t mind who got the grand prize. “Maybe real success is about courage, not winning, he thought to himself. Sunlight streamed through the window, glowing on Ethan’s guitar. Outside, a group of kids stopped to listen. One boy pretended to play an air guitar, copying Ethan’s moves while a girl tapped rhythmically on a wooden stick. Nearby, elderly villagers paused their chores, singing along to his music. Laughing, Ethan waved at them. He kept playing, not for prizes or praise, but for the joy it brought. As the music floated through the village, he knew his grandfather was right — true art comes from the heart. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了来自小村庄的15岁男孩伊桑热爱弹吉他，但缺乏自信。在看到年度才艺表演的海报并得知奖品是在大型县集市上表演的机会后，他既兴奋又紧张。祖父用自己年轻时学画画的经历鼓励他，告诉他艺术不需要完美，只需要真实。伊桑决定报名参加比赛，并在比赛当天，尽管紧张，但还是凭借真实的表演赢得了观众的热烈掌声。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“后台，伊桑紧握着吉他，手心冒汗。”可知，第一段可描写伊桑在后台的紧张情绪，以及他如何想起祖父的话并鼓起勇气上台表演，最终赢得观众热烈掌声的过程，但并未获得大奖。 ②由第二段首句内容“然而，伊桑并不在意谁获得了大奖。”可知，第二段可描写伊桑对比赛结果的看法，以及他如何继续享受音乐带来的快乐，并意识到真正的艺术来自内心。 2.续写线索：后台紧张——想起祖父的话——鼓起勇气上台表演——赢得观众掌声——不在意比赛结果——享受音乐带来的快乐——意识到真正的艺术来自内心 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①深呼吸：take a deep breath/breathe deeply ②闭上眼睛：close one’s eyes/shut one’s eyes ③沉浸于：lose oneself in/immerse oneself in 情绪类 ①狂热地：wildly/madly/violently ②快乐：joy/pleasure 【点睛】【高分句型1】The bright lights blinded him for a moment, but as his fingers touched the strings, the music flowed out like a river. （运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Although Ethan performed very well, the grand prize went to someone else.（运用了although引导的让步状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 云浮市2024—2025学年第二学期高中教学质量检测 高二英语 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25分） 第一节 听力理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分） 材料及问题播放两遍。每段后有几个小题，各段播放前每小题有5秒钟的阅题时间。请根据各段播放内容及其相关小题，在5秒钟内从题中所给的A、B、C项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 听第一段材料，回答第1—3题。材料读两遍。 Question 1: What are the speakers mainly talking about?

Starting ballet at nine, she joined the Affiliated Secondary School of Beijing Dance Academy and quickly rose to fame. By 16, she had claimed gold at the Helsinki International Ballet Competition and joined National Ballet of China at 17. Her breakthrough came when she starred in Romeo and Juliet shortly after joining the company. “That’s when I truly fell in love with ballet,” she recalled. Known for her technical excellence and dedication, she often practiced over 12 hours daily to perfect multiple roles. “Ballet isn’t just a job— it’s my life’s purpose,” she said. However, her career faced a crisis in 2013 during a performance of The Little Mermaid, where she suffered a severe spinal injury. “My sacrum was distorted. I almost quit,” she admitted. For two years, she underwent painful recovery while starring in a war-themed film, Ballet in the Flames of War. “I refused to give up,” she explained. Returning to the stage in 2015, she shifted her focus from technical perfection to emotional storytelling. “Though my injury limits some moves, I now express deeper feelings through dance,” she said. Her performances gained international acclaim as she toured globally with National Ballet of China. “Sharing Chinese ballet worldwide is my greatest pride, and dance has become part of my soul,” she emphasized. Her story highlights the sacrifices behind artistic success. While admitting ballet demands extraordinary commitment, she finds joy in its rewards. “Every drop of sweat is worth it when I step onto the stage,” she said. Today, she continues to inspire as both a dancer and a symbol of resilience, proving that passion can overcome even the toughest challenges. 4. Why did the dancer continue pursuing ballet despite her injury? A. Ballet became a key part of her identity. B. Her team pressured her to return quickly. C. She extremely desired financial stability. D. She wanted to prove her technical superiority. 5. What can we know about the dancer in the war-themed film? A. It marked her permanent retirement from ballet. B. The film aimed to criticize the impact of war on artists. C. She was fully recovered from her injury during filming. D. It reflected her determination to stay connected to dance. 6.

She valued more emotional storytelling than technique. D. She abandoned classical roles for modern productions. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The physical risks of professional sports. B. The role of luck in achieving artistic fame. C. The balance between personal life and career. D. A dancer’s career and her recovery in ballet. C For decades, recursion (递归) — the ability to create patterns within patterns, like boxes fitting inside each other — was seen as a skill only humans used in language. This tool lets us build endless sentences from simple words, such as “The monkey watches the bird following the butterfly that eats flowers”. However, a new study on wild orangutans (红毛猩猩) questions this idea, suggesting this ability might have existed much earlier in our shared evolutionary history. Researchers from the University of Warwick studied over 1000 alarm calls from female Sumatran orangutans. They found a surprising three-level repeating pattern in their sounds. First, single sounds formed small groups, which then combined into longer sequences, and finally repeated in even larger series — all keeping a steady rhythm at each level. This musical-like layering showed complexity never seen before in animals outside humans. Importantly, the orangutans changed their calls based on danger. When real hunters like tigers appeared, their sounds became faster and sharper. For false threats, the calls slowed down and lost their regular beat. This flexibility proved their sounds were not accidental but carried clear messages about different dangers. Dr. Chiara De Gregorio, lead author of the study, stated, “Discovering such advanced sound patterns in orangutans makes us rethink what makes human language special. Recursion likely didn’t appear suddenly in humans but developed slowly in our ancient ancestors.” The findings suggest this key language feature might have existed over 10 million years ago, long before humans spoke complex words. By comparing orangutan communication to human language, scientists now better understand how evolution shaped our ability to share ideas. These results also reveal the impressive mental abilities of great apes (类人猿), pushing us to reconsider the line between animal calls and human speech. As Dr. De Gregorio says, “Every sound in an orangutan’s call may hold secrets about how our own language began.” 8. What did researchers discover about orangutans’ alarm calls? A. They model after humans’ speech rhythms. B. Their calls are identical across all situations. C. They use unique words to identify different threats. D. Their sounds follow a structured pattern with multiple layers. 9. How did orangutans adjust their calls when facing real dangers? A. Their calls became quicker and higher. B. They produced deeper sounds. C. They completely stopped voice. D. Their sounds change with a fast-paced rhythm. 10. What does the study imply about the origin of recursion in language? A. It evolved separately in humans and orangutans. B. It is a modern skill unrelated to evolutionary history. C. It only exists in animals with advanced social systems. D. It might have developed gradually in early human ancestors. 11. What is the text? A. A news article. B. A scientific study. C. A historical account. D. A scientific guide. D Remote work has become increasingly common, but does it truly improve employees’ well-being? According to a recent Gallup report based on a global survey, fully remote workers may be more engaged in their tasks, yet they often experience stronger negative emotions. Researchers divided workers into four categories: those who always work remotely; those with hybrid (混合的) arrangements (splitting time between home and office); those based in an office but free to work remotely; and those who must remain in an office at all times. The study found that 31% of fully remote employees reported feeling engaged — meaning they were interested in and focused on their work — whereas only 19% of office-only workers felt similarly, which was the lowest among all categories. Despite higher engagement, fully remote workers reported more frequent stress: 45%said they often felt tense, compared to a lower proportion among office-based staff. Hybrid workers showed similar stress levels (46%). Moreover, at least one-quarter of remote workers admitted to feelings of anger, loneliness, or sadness — emotions less commonly reported by those working entirely on-site. Researcher Ryan Pendell suggests two main reasons for these findings. First, remote workers miss the informal interactions — chatting by the coffee machine or eating lunch together — that foster a sense of connection and reduce stress. Second, working from home demands self-management of time and tasks; constant online meetings and messaging can intensify pressure and blur work-life boundaries. Pendell emphasizes that companies must address the emotional needs of all employees, whether they work from home or in an office. While remote work can boost focus and flexibility, organizations should offer social support, clear guidelines for time management, and opportunities for in-person collaboration (合作). Only by balancing productivity with well-being can businesses ensure long-term success and a truly satisfied workforce. For example, companies might organize regular virtual coffee breaks, schedule occasional in-person gatherings. Encouraging employees to set clear work hours and take regular breaks also helps reduce burnout. By combining structured support programs with flexible policies, businesses can create a work environment that fosters engagement, protects mental health, and sustains productivity. 12. What did the research find about the employees working entirely from home? A. They focus more on tasks but feel worse emotionally. B. They have lower stress than office staff. C. They feel much more stressed than hybrid workers. D. They value flexibility more than teamwork. 13. Which employee group is reported the least work engagement? A. Those dividing time between home and workplace. B. Those allowed flexibility to work off-site. C. Those required to work at an office only. D. Those managing tasks remotely. 14. What does the underlined word “blur” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Clarify. B. Confuse. C. Separate. D. Define. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. How to Manage a Remote Team B. The Rise of Digital Communication C. The Emotional Impact of Working from Home D.

Every evening, when the sun turned his room golden, he would sit on the floor with his loved guitar. His fingers moved quickly over the strings, creating music that sounded like the wind in the trees or birds singing. Villagers often stopped outside his house to listen, saying things like “He’s amazing!” But Ethan didn’t believe them. “What if my music is only good for this tiny place?” he thought, staring at the scratches on his guitar. One autumn day, a bright poster on the village board caught his eye. “Annual Talent Show!” it said, with a picture of a shiny trophy (奖杯). The prize was a chance to play at the big county fair. Ethan’s heart raced. For days, he walked around the poster, his hands deep in his pockets. He imagined people clapping, but also heard voices in his head, “What if I play the wrong notes? What if they think I’m just a nobody?” He touched the guitar’s worn edges, remembering all the hours he’d practiced. His grandfather, a gray-haired man with kind eyes, noticed Ethan’s worry. One evening, as the sky turned orange, he said, “Let’s take a walk.” They went to their favorite oak tree. Sitting on a rock, the old man said, “When I was young, I wanted to be a painter.” He told Ethan how he once visited an old artist’s studio. “The artist asked me to paint publicly. I was so scared, and I almost ran away.” Ethan leaned closer, eager to know more. “But then,” his grandfather added, “the artist told me, ‘Don’t think about others. Just paint what you feel.’” He pretended to hold a brush. “I painted a wild ocean-messy waves, crooked rocks. When I finished, people didn’t care about mistakes. They felt the storm.” He patted Ethan’s hand. “Your music doesn’t need to be perfect. It needs to be real.” Ethan decided to sign up. A few days later, the day of Annual Talent Show finally arrived. 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。 Backstage, Ethan grasped his guitar, palms sweating. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ However, Ethan didn’t mind who got the grand prize. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
