B Four days after Hurricane Ida made landfall, the New Orleans meteorologist (气象学家) Margaret Orr took a break after twelve hours on the air to reply to some of her fans on Twitter. Orr, who has been reporting the weather for forty-two years, is regarded by many residents as a prophet (预言家). Someone asked why the sun always shines before a storm: “And I said, to remind us that the sun will shine again. But I don’t want the sun emoji.” She used a heart instead. The real reason the sun shines before a storm? “Because you’ve often got high pressure right over you, and it’s hot,” she said. “The high moves off to the east and pushes the system our way.” Many of her workmates were sleeping at the station, but Orr preferred to go home, where she had running water but no electricity. She could handle not having air-conditioner. The trick, she said, was to take a cold shower. Not having Internet, though, was a hardship. She said, “I couldn’t check my social media until I got to work, which was annoying.” In the days leading up to Ida, people contacted Orr through Twitter to get individualized, practical advice. Orr tried to respond to everyone. This dedication earned her great respect from the residents. Orr has always been fascinated by weather. In 1965, when she was twelve years old, the wind from Hurricane Betsy blew the roof off her family’s house in New Orleans. She remembers going outside and standing in the eye of the storm. “I looked up and saw the sky and saw the stars,” she said. “Bad weather happens everywhere,” she said, “Every now and then, on Twitter, you’ll see people saying, why do you live there? Well, I live here because it’s my home. This is where I grew up. This is the place I love.” She went on, “After Hurricane Katrina, I thought, could I live anywhere else? And I decided, no,I couldn’t.” She added, “As my daughter said about New Orleans when she was a little girl, ‘I even love the dirt.’” 24. Orr’s explanation about sunshine before a storm can be described as _________. A. poetic but abstract B. scientific but tricky C. encouraging and professional D. strange and inaccurate 25. Why did Orr find the lack of Internet at home a “hardship”? A. She couldn’t access weather data for forecasts. B. She was unable to respond to people’s questions. C. She needed online resources for air-conditioning. D. She missed watching news about the hurricane. 26. What childhood experience sparked Orr’s fascination with weather? A. Watching weather reports on television. B. Reading books about hurricanes at school. C. Seeing the stars in the eye of Hurricane Betsy. D. Helping neighbors rebuild after Hurricane Betsy. 27. What message does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A. Natural disasters are a common threat all over the world. B. People online don’t understand her deep love for her home. C. She decided to stay mainly because of her daughter’s opinion. D. Emotional attachment is what ties people to their hometown. C “Individuals of all ages who have empathy understand that sometimes telling little white lies can protect other people from getting hurt,” says Barbara Greenberg, a clinical psychologist in Connecticut. “Most people that I have come across tell these little white lies because they understand that 100 percent honesty all the time is not beneficial.” A white lie, she explains, spares people from unnecessary hurt. At the same time, Dr. Julia Breur, a marriage and family therapist in Florida, emphasizes the importance of paying attention to the way we respond to someone. The fact is that not telling the truth can result in something unpleasant on you; it’s not just about the person the white lie is being told to. For example, she says someone who always tells others that “all is good” when it comes to a sick parent in an effort to avoid discussions about how serious their health issue really is, can eventually face stressful experiences. When that parent eventually passes away, the person who always gave an “all is good” response ends up emotionally broken. Sometimes, telling white lies often depends on the situation, Dr. Breur says. For example, consider a woman who has not seen her mother for several months. The daughter has gained noticeable weight, yet the mother responds by excitedly declaring that she looks great. “I emphasize during psychotherapy sessions with my patients that context helps define meaning,” Dr. Breur says. “So when we look at the context of a mother saying you look great when she clearly sees that her daughter has gained weight, it can be acceptable. It reflects the intention of the white lie which is kindness, protection and unconditional love. Otherwise, white lies — especially when told to avoid personal accountability — can start a cycle of mistrust between people, ultimately compromising integrity,” she adds. Therefore, it’s important to ask ourselves when it is and isn’t appropriate to deliver the honest truth, and when it’s best to step back and offer a more delicate response. More often than not, it’s about finding a balance between the two. 28. What can be learned about white lies according to Barbara Greenberg? A. They are short-lived. B. They are unidentifiable. C. They are trouble-making. D. They are common. 29. What message does Dr. Breur deliver in paragraph 2? A. White lies can harm both the liars and the listeners. B. We must respond to our family members truthfully. C. It’s wrong to tell white lies to a seriously ill parent. D. The “all is good” response is effective in dealing with patients. 30. Which of the following white lies may Dr Breur support? A. A student claims his homework was left at home. B. An employee blames traffic jam for being late. C. A Dad tells his son their lost pet is living happily on a farm D. A nurse says she has to work overtime so as to decline an invitation. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. East or West, White Lies Are the Best B. Think Twice Before Telling White Lies C. White Lies Signify Unconditional Love D. Tell White Lies to Show Your Sympathy D Researchers from the University of Bath recently developed a new touch screen that’s capable of changing its shape and hardness when users apply various levels of force to it. The screen, which they refer to as “DeformIO”, uses air-powered systems and sensors to detect levels of pressure applied by a finger and then collapse (凹陷) around it. The researchers say it could add a new input layer (输入层) to mobile devices that could be used for a wide variety of tasks, from looking through digital maps to playing games and “feeling” the hardness of products virtually. Though DeformIO, which is 3mm thick with a 140 mm² surface layer, isn’t the first changeable screen, it can apply several force inputs on various parts of the screen at the same time, which means users can experience a feeling of continuous tactile (触觉的) response while moving their finger across the screen. “In other words, DeformIO allows users to feel a richer, more tactile and natural response as they press the surface,” lead author James Nash said. If the new screens are ever indeed applied to widespread consumer mobile devices, they could change the way users interface with apps and services used on a daily basis. The researchers imagine a situation where a future traveler equipped with DeformIO uses it to move through sections of the digital map. In this example, the traveler could quickly switch between the road view section of a map and satellite view by simply applying more and less pressure on the screen. It’s uncertain if everyday phone users will find the new screen attractive enough to give up their glass touch screens. Less advanced mobile designs like foldable screens, which have already existed for years, are still struggling to gain wide use outside of a limited audience. It’s possible that screens like DeformIO could end up the same way. “We hope that in 10 to 20 years” time, the concepts it presents could be in your mobile phone. For now, we’re exploring the applications it might be best suited to.” Nash said. 32. What can be learned about DeformIO? A. It’s a protective layer for screens. B. It’s a screen with tactile flexibility. C. It performs different tasks together. D. It senses changes in users’ identity. 33. What makes DeformIO stand out among other similar designs? A. Its adaptable appearance. B. Its better-quality sensors. C. Its small size and light weight. D. Its more realistic sense of touch. 34. What does the underlined phrase “interface with” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Mix up. B. Assist with. C. Connect with. D. Improve on. 35. What challenge might DeformIO face? A. Low customer interest. B. Technical design limitations. C. Insufficient development funds. D. Strong competition within the industry. 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。 In today’s world where artificial intelligence (AI) can copy our words, automate our decisions and even simulate emotions, understanding what sets us apart isn’t just philosophical. 36 Knowing what makes us unquestionably different from intelligent machines helps us protect and even expand our most valuable strengths — our creativity, emotional intelligence, life experiences and sense of purpose, so that we don’t just coexist with AI, but rise above it, shaping the future instead of being shaped by it. Here are three irreplaceable human attributes (属性). We have real-life experiences while AI has data. Experience is one of the most powerful things that shape us from the moment on which we’re born. 37 While AI, on the other hand, can analyze massive data, it doesn’t learn from pain, joy, failure, or success the way humans do. Experience isn’t just about information — it’s about personal growth. 38 We create stories to make sense of the world, find purpose in struggle and connect our past to our future. However, AI doesn’t wonder about “the why” behind what it does. Instead, it just processes requests and generates responses, without caring about the outcome beyond the goals that it’s pre-programmed to achieve. We have free will while AI has codes (代码). Humans can choose generosity over self-interest, forgiveness over hatred, and innovation over conformity. But AI only follows rules. No matter how advanced, it’s always bound by its programming. 39 AI may be extraordinarily useful and helpful but it will likely never provide what makes us human — empathy, true love, meaningful purpose and life experiences. 40 In this way, we can ensure that technology will serve humanity — not the other way around. A. It’s gaining popularity. B. Besides, it is deeply practical. C. We are considerate while AI is creative. D. We seek meaning while AI follows instructions. E. It doesn’t have desires, beliefs or independent thoughts. F. Every failure, success and challenge can influence our future decisions. G. So value our and others’ emotional depth, life experiences and creative potential. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 “I didn’t pick peonies (牡丹). They picked me,” says Kathleen Gagan, owner and founder of Peony’s Envy display garden in Bernardsville. The garden’s playful name was 41 years ago at a party, when Gagan enthusiastically announced her 42 to start a peony farm in her backyard. One of the guests said, “Sounds 43 —— I’m sure we’ll all have peonies envy!” Having 44 lived a dynamic lifestyle working as a consultant and linguist overseas for 15 years, Gagan was happy to 45 back into Bernardsville. In 2002, she planted her first peony crop. Four years later, she began 46 rootstock (根茎) commercially and opened her garden to the 47 because she was “eager to build something that others could visit and enjoy.” Today, her property is home to one of the most extensive 48 of peonies in the country. Gagan, a nationally 49 gardening expert, appreciates the laid-back presence of established peonies because, 50 other crops, they are easy to maintain. “Before starting my peony garden, I 51 at a peach orchard (果园) because deer ate all the trees. Then I tried raising irises, with no luck,” she says. “Finally, I had success with peonies. 52 and rabbits don’t like them, and the established plants require 53 care. Everything you do for them comes back year after year because it’s a generous plant that 54 so much more than it takes.” Peony’s Envy is open daily from the last Friday in April through the second Sunday in June. To fully experience all it has to 55 , some guests visit weekly. In these blooms, people find a mirror to life’s simplest wisdom: true beauty asks for little, but gives endlessly. 41. A. called B. born C. found D. stated 42. A. promise B. opinion C. plan D. task 43. A. impossible B. familiar C. horrible D. lovely 44. A. previously B. eventually C. naturally D. frequently 45.

Traditionally, healing, pleasure, protection and transformation have all been central themes in the work of African artists. African art is 56 vast and varied category involving masks, sculptures, textiles, and bead-work from across the African continent. There is no one definition of African art, however, there are some common themes 57 run throughout this genre (体裁). One of the most distinguishing features of African art 58 (be) the use of color. Bright colors are often used to express the energy and joy of life, 59 dark colors can convey 60 (sad) or anger. Texture (纹理) is also an important element of African art, with artists often 61 (use) complicated patterns and designs to create a sense of movement and dynamism. African artists often combine instruments into their work. In fact, music represents the importance of creativity and expression within African cultures. By now, traditional African instruments 62 (adapt) for use by Western musicians, making their way into genres such as jazz and rock. Masks are an important part of traditional African culture. Each mask has its own unique design and purpose. In western Africa, wooden masks were 63 (initial) worn for religious and formal occasions 64 weddings, agricultural work and wartime preparations. “The mask does not hide; it reveals the true face of the spirit.” The quote shows 65 a mask in African culture means. 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 假定你是李华。你校外教Mr. Smith计划在下学期为兴趣小组 (interest group) 开设一门新课，目前正在征集学生们的意见。请你给他写一封电子邮件，推荐一个主题，内容包括： 1. 你推荐的课程主题 (如：西方戏剧鉴赏、英语辩论技巧、英美流行文化等)； 2. 推荐该主题的理由； 3. 表达对此课程的期待。 注意： 1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Mr. Smith, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 第二节 (满分25分) 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Fourteen-year-old Nathan ran a small stand selling colorful phone cases at the annual community Summer Carnival (嘉年华). While younger kids crowded around other attractions, he focused on his modest business. His real ambition, however, lay beyond this: he dreamed of owning a 3D printer. With it, he could design and create unique phone cases himself, transforming his small summer job into a proper online business. One afternoon, a 10-year-old girl named Michele stopped by and bought one phone case for her mom. As they talked, Nathan shared his dream of having a 3D printer. “With that printer, I can print anything in any form,” Nathan said. “Anything in any form?” Michele’s eyes lit up with sudden excitement. “Once you get it, could you please make a leg for my pet duck Tim? Because he was missing one,” Michele said hopefully. “That’s a cool project,” Nathan replied. He thought for a minute. “I’ll make him one, but it won’t be ready now. I have to save up some of the money myself to buy the 3D printer.” “How lucky Tim is! You are so kind!” Michele said happily, unable to contain her excitement. Before leaving, Michele exchanged phone numbers with Nathan. They discovered that they lived in the same neighborhood, which meant Nathan could easily get close to the duck and measure the size of its leg in person to ensure that a suitable prosthetic (假体的) leg could be made. He promised to reach out as soon as he could afford a printer. That evening, Nathan told his family about Michele and his promise. His parents praised his kindness and initiative. They agreed to offer some financial support to buy the printer but also emphasized the importance of his own effort. “We’re proud you’re earning this yourself, Nathan,” his father said. “Saving your share shows real commitment.” Nathan nodded firmly, feeling more determined than ever. 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。 Nathan worked very hard for the 3D printer. ________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ However, creating the leg model was not easy. ______________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 高三英语 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 参考答案 第一部分 听力 略 第二部分 阅读 第一节 21-23 DCC 该项目由国家地理学会和自然保护协会联合发起，面向18-25岁全球青年，旨在通过远程校外实习帮助他们理解淡水问题的复杂性与关联性，学习淡水保护策略，培养研究、分析及沟通能力。项目提供4周和8周两种选择，完成任务可获得报酬及额外奖励。 21. 根据第一段Understanding the interconnectedness and complexity of local and regional freshwater issues is critical to living sustainably on Earth.

Orr先用富有鼓励性的话语安慰民众，接着从科学角度解释高压系统移动导致阳光出现，体现了C. encouraging and professional鼓励性和专业性。 25. 根据第二段I couldn’t check my social media until I got to work, which was annoying和people contacted Orr through Twitter to get individualized, practical advice. Orr tried to respond to everyone. 民众通过社交媒体向Orr咨询，她需要回复所有人，因此无法上网意味着B. She was unable to respond to people’s questions.无法及时回应民众的问题。 26. 根据第三段the wind from Hurricane Betsy blew the roof off her family’s house in New Orleans. She remembers going outside and standing in the eye of the storm. I looked up and saw the sky and saw the stars... 12岁时飓风Betsy期间，她站在风暴眼中看到天空和星星的经历，直接关联到她对天气的兴趣，选项C. Seeing the stars in the eye of Hurricane Betsy.符合。 27. 根据最后一段I live here because it’s my home. This is where I grew up. This is the place I love. After Hurricane Katrina... I couldn’t live anywhere else？ Orr强调留在家乡是因为这里是她的家、成长的地方和热爱的土地，体现了D. Emotional attachment is what ties people to their hometown.情感依恋对人们与家乡联系的影响。 28-31 DACB 文章探讨了善意谎言的利弊及适用情境。临床心理学家Barbara Greenberg认为善意谎言能避免不必要的伤害，多数人会说善意谎言；婚姻家庭治疗师Julia Breur则强调需关注说谎的方式和后果，指出善意谎言可能对说谎者和听者造成伤害，但在出于善意、保护或无条件爱的情境下可接受。文章最终建议在诚实与委婉回应间寻找平衡。 28. 根据第一段Most people that I have come across tell these little white lies (我遇到的大多数人都会说这些善意的小谎言)可知，Barbara Greenberg认为大多数人会说善意的谎言，即它们具有普遍性。故选D. They are common. 29. 根据第二段The fact is that not telling the truth can result in something unpleasant on you; it’s not just about the person the white lie is being told to. (事实是，不说真话会让你不愉快；这不仅仅关乎被告知善意谎言的人)可知，善意的谎言可能会既伤害说谎者，也伤害听者。故选A. White lies can harm both the liars and the listeners. 30. 根据第三段So when we look at the context of a mother saying you look great when she clearly sees that her daughter has gained weight, it can be acceptable. It reflects the intention of the white lie which is kindness, protection and unconditional love. Otherwise, white lies — especially when told to avoid personal accountability — can start a cycle of mistrust between people, ultimately compromising integrity (所以，当我们看到一位母亲清楚地看到她的女儿长胖了，她说你看起来很好，这是可以接受的。它反映了善意的谎言的意图，即善意、保护和无条件的爱。否则，善意的谎言——尤其是为了逃避个人责任的谎言——会引发人与人之间不信任的循环，最终损害诚信)可知，Breur博士认为善意的谎言是否可以接受取决于其意图，一位父亲告诉儿子，他们丢失的宠物在农场里快乐地生活着是出于善意、保护和无条件的爱，与母亲夸赞长胖女儿的动机一致，是Breur博士会支持的善意的谎言。故选C. A Dad tells his son their lost pet is living happily on a farm 31. 根据最后一段Therefore, it’s important to ask ourselves when it is and isn’t appropriate to deliver the honest truth, and when it’s best to step back and offer a more delicate response. More often than not, it’s about finding a balance between the two. (因此，重要的是要问问自己，什么时候说出诚实的事实是合适的，什么时候不合适，什么时候最好退一步，给出一个更微妙的回应。通常情况下，你需要在两者之间找到平衡)可知，文章围绕善意的谎言展开，通过两位心理学家的观点，探讨善意的谎言的普遍性及其双重影响，最终强调需根据情境权衡诚实与善意的平衡。因此，选项B. Think Twice Before Telling White Lies说善意的谎言前要三思最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。 32-35 BDCA 文章介绍了巴斯大学研发的新型触摸屏DeformIO，它能根据用户施加的压力改变形状和硬度，提供触觉反馈，适用于数字地图浏览、游戏等场景。尽管DeformIO支持多点压力输入且触觉体验更自然，但面临用户接受度的挑战，类似折叠屏等早期创新尚未普及，其未来应用仍需探索。 32. 根据第一段a new touch screen that’s capable of changing its shape and hardness when users apply various levels of force to it及第二段users can experience a feeling of continuous tactile response... DeformIO能通过压力改变形状和硬度，提供触觉反馈，即B. It’s a screen with tactile flexibility.具有触觉灵活性。 33. 根据第二段it can apply several force inputs on various parts of the screen at the same time, which means users can experience a feeling of continuous tactile response及allows users to feel a richer, more tactile and natural response... DeformIO的独特之处在于支持多点压力输入，提供更丰富、自然的触觉反馈，即D. Its more realistic sense of touch.更真实的触感。 34. 根据第三段they could change the way users interface with apps and services used on a daily basis及后文例子switch between the road view... by applying more and less pressure... 用户通过屏幕与应用程序交互（如切换地图视图），interface with意为C. Connect with.与……连接/交互。 35. 根据第四段It’s uncertain if everyday phone users will find the new screen attractive enough to give up their glass touch screens及foldable screens... are still struggling to gain wide use...It’s possible that screens like DeformIO could end up the same way. 用户可能不愿放弃现有玻璃屏，类似折叠屏的创新尚未普及，DeformIO可能同样受限说明DeformIO面临A. Low customer interest.用户兴趣低的挑战。 第二节 36-40 BFDEG 文章探讨了在人工智能时代，人类与AI的根本区别，强调理解这些差异有助于发挥人类独特优势（创造力、情感智能、生活经验和目标感）。文章列举了三项人类不可替代的属性：拥有真实生活经验（而非AI的数据）、追求意义（而非AI的指令遵循）、拥有自由意志（而非AI的代码约束），并呼吁珍视人类的情感深度、生活经验和创造潜力，确保技术服务于人类。 36. 前文understanding what sets us apart isn’t just philosophical.提到理解人类与AI的区别不仅是哲学问题，后文Knowing what makes us unquestionably different from intelligent machines helps us protect and even expand our most valuable strengths强调这有助于保护和拓展人类的优势，说明该区别具有切实存在的意义。选项B. Besides, it is deeply practical.此外，它具有深刻的实用性承接上下文，符合逻辑。 37. 本段主题为We have real-life experiences while AI has data.人类有真实生活经验，人工智能只有数据。选项F. Every failure, success and challenge can influence our future decisions.每一次失败、成功和挑战都会影响我们未来的决定具体解释了经验如何塑造人类，与后文While AI, on the other hand, can analyze massive data, it doesn’t learn from pain, joy, failure, or success人工智能不会从痛苦、喜悦中学习形成对比，符合段落主旨。 38. 本段对比We create stories to make sense of the world, find purpose in struggle and connect our past to our future.人类创造故事、寻找意义与AI doesn’t wonder about “the why” behind what it does. it just processes requests and generates responses, ... the goals that it’s pre-programmed to achieve.人工智能不关心行为背后的原因，仅遵循预设目标。选项D. We seek meaning while AI follows instructions.我们追求意义，而人工智能遵循指令概括了段落核心差异，适合作为段首主题句。 39. 前文指出But AI only follows rules. No matter how advanced, it’s always bound by its programming.人工智能受编程约束，选项E. It doesn’t have desires, beliefs or independent thoughts.它没有欲望、信念或独立思想进一步说明人工智能缺乏自由意志的本质，与段落主题句We have free will人类拥有自由意志形成对比，衔接自然。 40. 前文总结it will likely never provide what makes us human — empathy, true love, meaningful purpose and life experiences.人工智能无法提供人类独有的共情、真爱、意义和经验，选项G. So value our and others’ emotional depth, life experiences and creative potential.因此珍视我们和他人的情感深度、生活经验和创造潜力提出建议，呼应文章第一段Knowing what makes us unquestionably different from intelligent machines helps us protect and even expand our most valuable strengths — our creativity, emotional intelligence, life experiences and sense of purpose, so that we don’t just coexist with AI, but rise above it, shaping the future instead of being shaped by it.发挥人类优势的主旨，作为结尾句恰当。 第三部分 语言运用 第一节 41-45 BCDAC 46-50 BDBDC 51-55 BADBA 文章讲述了Kathleen Gagan创办Peony’s Envy牡丹园的经历。她曾是海外顾问和语言学家，后回到家乡种植牡丹，并因一次派对上的玩笑得名Peony’s Envy。她的牡丹园因牡丹易养护、无需过多照料而成功，如今成为全国知名的牡丹收藏地之一，每年4月底至6月对公众开放，传递出真正的美丽索求甚少，却给予无尽的生活智慧。 41.

I’d like to recommend “Appreciation of Western Drama” as a potential topic. This course would be highly beneficial for two main reasons. First of all, it offers a fascinating window into western culture and history. What’s more, by reading and acting out scripts, we can dramatically improve our pronunciation and understanding of idiomatic English. I believe many students, including myself, are eager to explore the world of theater. Thank you for considering my suggestion. Yours, Li Hua One possible version Dear Mr. Smith, Regarding the new interest group course, I am writing to propose “English Debating Skills”. This topic is highly relevant in an academic environment and would attract many students. I believe this course would be extremely valuable. Not only would it help us structure our arguments logically and think critically, but it would also provide a practical environment to enhance fluency and confidence in speaking. These skills are crucial for our future studies. We are all looking forward to the possibility of such an engaging and challenging course. Yours, Li Hua 第二节 One possible version Nathan worked very hard for the 3D printer. He continued to sell phone cases at the carnival and even took on some odd jobs around the neighborhood. He saved every penny he earned, carefully keeping track of his progress in a notebook. Weeks passed, and finally, Nathan had saved enough money to buy the 3D printer. He was overjoyed and couldn’t wait to start working on Michele’s project. Moreover, he also shared his excitement with his friends, who were all very supportive of him. However, creating the leg model was not easy. Nathan faced many challenges along the way. He had to take precise measurements of Tim’s remaining leg and do a lot of research to understand how a prosthetic leg should be designed. He spent countless hours tinkering with the printer, adjusting the settings, and trying different materials. But he refused to give up. Finally, after many tries, he created a leg that fit Tim perfectly. Michele was overjoyed when she saw it, and Nathan felt a sense of pride and accomplishment. His hard work had paid off, and he had not only fulfilled his promise but also gained valuable skills and experience. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
